Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

now.

Chen Ye's figure appeared at the Grand Canyon.

Passing through the surrounding dark caves, heading northwest.

There were basically no accidents on the way and we arrived at this place quickly.

The cold wind blows from all sides.

Chen Ye frowned slightly, feeling that there was some kind of conspiracy in the dark wind.

After unlocking the characteristic of [Taking the wind and steering the ship], the level of perception of the sinister aura lurking in the air has deepened by one level.

Therefore, after sensing this aura, Chen Ye became more and more certain that there was some unknown risk lurking in the canyon.

When he came to the canyon...

His mind sank slightly, and he used spiritual communication [Research on Scarlet Letters].

After this period of time, Chen Ye discovered that [Research on Blood Letters] could also be actively triggered.

Among them, the driving ability is spirituality.

For example, when Chen Ye sees other players or aborigines, he can use his spirituality to silently recite "View career panel" in his heart, and the corresponding information box will pop up.

When he discovered that [Scarlet Letter Research] had an initiative, he devoted more and more to this field.

See if using spirituality can activate [Study in Scarlet Letters] when facing different items.

The moment this idea flashed through Chen Ye's mind...

He noticed that his spirituality suddenly dropped by one level.

at the same time.

Blood-colored words like tadpoles began to pop up in front of me as reminders, appearing in front of me——

[The fractured canyon...the abyss...]

[Evil aura...danger...extremely dangerous...]

[Existences that do not belong to the earthly world...mysterious...unknown...]

The tadpole-like blood-colored words seemed to slowly overflow from the depths of the canyon, flow outside, and slowly retreat into hiding.

Chen Ye's eyes suddenly became a little deeper, and his pupils seemed to reflect the remaining blood.

He pondered for a moment and began to figure out the symbolic meaning of the bloody words he just saw:

"abyss……"

"Is this canyon really related to the abyss in the closed beta version?"

"Looking carefully, the structures are indeed somewhat similar."

"In the closed beta version, some powerful players analyzed the entire copy structure of the abyss, which is probably a deep rift."

"However, every time you dive into the abyss, you have to experience [load]."

"The so-called [load] is the polluted atmosphere in the abyss."

"Once you accumulate more abyss energy than your own level can bear, you will be assimilated into a monster."

Chen Ye closed his eyes and gradually recalled that in the closed beta version, there were many guilds and high-end players who formed a team. Because they misjudged their own endurance, they inexplicably took an extra step forward, and as a result, their bodies completely exploded. Transformed into a weird, twisted, dark crawling abyss monster...

The appearance looks extremely terrible.

Even a normal death is probably much better than being reduced to such a terrifying state.

Therefore, the Abyss dungeon was almost every player’s nightmare during the closed beta version.

Even now, when I recall it, those players feel frightened.

now.

Chen Ye's mind moved and he used the Eyes of Luck to explore the scene below the canyon.

Suddenly, dots of mottled blood and ink slowly squirmed deep in the field of vision...

It's like there's some dangerous monster hiding in the deepest part.

at the same time.

These squirming dots also have dim glazed lines attached to them.

However, these lines are not clear, like crystals separated from the sticky blood.

Chen Ye thought for a while and realized that this should be a treasure place for killing monsters and upgrading.

"It looks like a large copy!"

"I wonder if there is a [Load] here like the [Abyss]?"

"If there is really a [load], it wouldn't be fun."

Although he thought so, Chen Ye still stepped into the canyon.

He wanted to see what was hidden inside.

at this time.

When Chen Ye stepped out and came within the scope of the canyon...

The cold wind around you carries a sticky moist feeling that sticks tightly to the surface of your skin.

My whole body felt like it was covered with dead skin.

Chen Ye frowned, instinctively feeling that this strange feeling made him feel a little uncomfortable.

However.

It did not cause obvious harm to itself.

This means that although this kind of thing has some evil aspects, at least it cannot threaten you at first.

At the same time, he compared the [load] with the previous [load] when entering the abyss...

It doesn't feel the same either.

It is somewhat similar to the infection that the bloody rain brought to me when I first faced pollution.

Chen Ye thought for a while and seemed to understand something:

"Sure enough, this canyon should be related to the abyss, but we cannot say that the two are exactly the same."

"The abyss corresponds to [Load], and this canyon corresponds to [Pollution]."

"If an ordinary player enters this place, as long as he breathes the air here, he may accumulate [pollution value] in his body."

"Once the [pollution value] reaches a certain stage, it will be completely contaminated and turn into a monster."

"From this perspective, it is similar to the closed beta version of the Abyss. It is almost carved out of the same mold, that is, it changed from [Load] to [Pollution]."

"However, since I have absorbed the characteristics of [Pollution Lord], I am naturally immune to the same [Pollution], so even if I breathe greedily, I will not accumulate [Pollution Value] in my body."

If Chen Ye could feel it for himself...

The threat of [pollution] should not be as big as [load].

After all, the [load] goes deeper and deeper, and the pressure exerted on oneself will become greater and greater. At that time, even if you are not crushed to death, it will be like carrying a mountain on your back and moving forward. Every step you take will appear to be... So difficult.

However……

[Pollution] is a very special attribute. Players who have the ability to deal with it don't have to take it seriously, but players who don't have this ability cannot touch it.

Belonging becomes difficult for the weak, but it is easier for the strong to deal with it.

Whether it is the attributes of the blazing sun sequence, or the purification system, or absorbing the same type of characteristics, it can be avoided very well.

Think of this.

Chen Ye tried to go deep into the canyon.

The terrain here is very steep, and there are winding rock steps inside, but they are not regular. If an ordinary person tries to climb up, if he makes a mistake, he will fall to the foot of the cliff and be shattered to pieces.

But for Chen Ye, all this is not a problem.

His face exploded in an instant, as if he had transformed into an octopus. Every piece of flesh and blood catkin was attached to the steep stone wall like an octopus leg, like a spider crawling on the wall.

After a period of diving.

Chen Ye sensed the changes in the nearby environment and muttered to himself: "It is still different from the [Abyss]. There is no obvious feeling of increased load. This shows that as long as we can deal with the [pollution] in the air, we will be able to survive." Permissions.”

He relaxed a little, but was still observing the changes in the nearby luck phenomena.

at this time.

To the left, there was a dark, reptilian-like blood-colored light group, crawling slowly.

Chen Ye took a closer look and found that it turned out to be a bloody centipede?

There are many similarities with the bloody centipedes found in the sewers before the Xijiang pollution outbreak.

I saw that thick blood-colored film...

A bright line of colored glaze interspersed in it is particularly dazzling.

Chen Ye's eyes lit up: "If you kill this kind of monster, you should be able to get special items!"

The next second.

He moved forward cautiously, trying to get closer to the bloody light group.

During the whole process, Chen Ye summoned the mouse-shaped soul-inducing lamp that he had contracted before to guide the way in front of his field of vision.

With the help of the soul-inducing lamp...

soon.

A translucent bloody centipede, covered with dark blue scales, immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

It has a sharp horn on its head and is drilling holes in a cave.

It's a bit like the mutant beetle Chen Ye encountered before...

The kind that comes out of the player's brain.

However, this beetle seems to have been fused with the bloody centipede, and its shape has become more complicated.

now.

The centipede with horns suddenly trembled all over.

The leader connected his eyes with horns and squirmed around, exploring the surroundings as if to confirm whether the surrounding situation was safe.

Immediately afterwards, it accelerated the drilling speed.

Want to break through a certain passage and get in from the inside...

It seems that doing this will bring more security to oneself...

"The instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is very sharp!" Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and judged that this centipede must have sensed danger after being targeted by him, so it ran so fast, "Oh, you can notice me Its existence shows that its status is not too low. It seems that these days, centipedes are becoming more and more mutated into spirits, and the world is really getting more and more difficult..."

However.

Chen Ye observed carefully again and noticed a black and yellow traction line hanging on the centipede's head.

Like a long bridge, it connects a dense accumulation point similar to a honeycomb.

It's like there are many others of the same kind hidden inside.

Black yellow and colored glaze are mixed together, complementing each other...

It seems that where the centipede is going, there should be a lot of harvest?

"This bloody centipede has sensed danger. If nothing else, it should quickly hide in its lair and look for its kind."

"Under the cover of similar people, it can bring a greater sense of security to oneself."

"I don't have to deal with the bloody centipede so quickly first. In this case, if I follow the opponent and go deep into the lair, I might be able to gain more."

At the current stage, Chen Ye has two half-step and four-turn professions, and he still holds the sacred relic of the Lieyang Church in his hand——

[Fire Sun Prayer Secret Scroll]

It is easy to deal with such insects.

Even if they go deep into the lair, the level of these [Pollution] monsters will be difficult to exceed level four.

After all, after having the previous experience of going deep into the [Puppet Factory], Chen Ye has a new understanding of the characteristics of the [Pollution] sequence - basically equivalent to a large suture monster. The growth rate is very fast in the initial stage, but when it reaches In the later stage, you will become more and more weak. Because it is too complex and not refined, it will be difficult to hit high sequences.

This bloody centipede currently looks more like a fusion of [Monster] and [Pollution].

Therefore, as long as it is a monster sequence, it is a weird creature of medium to low sequence.

The attributes and values ​​in the early stage are pretty good...

But in the later stages, it is no different from cannon fodder.

Even leaving aside the two and a half-step four-turn professions unlocked by Chen Ye...

Just relying on the sacred flame of [Fire Sun Secret Scroll], you can give these dirty bugs a good bath and let them feel what sacred purification and baptism are.

While thoughts were swirling, the bloody centipede seemed to have carved a passage and got in.

"Want to leave?"

Chen Ye's eyes suddenly became sharp.

The [Death-Death Demonic Eye] instantly locked the direction of the centipede and marked it with spirituality.

The next second.

Chen Ye took out the "skinned eyeball rice cake wrapped in crispy meat" from the mountain roll and took a bite.

This kind of crispy meat is made from the sharp horns of beetles and ground into powder.

As long as you swallow it, you can gain the same ability to escape from the ground.

In the past, when this kind of beetle was swept up on a large scale, a wave of materials were stored.

Anyway, at that stage, [Devil Form] was also a very important source of combat power. With the mentality of stocking up more food and gaining weirdness points, I made many copies. I didn’t expect that it would come in handy now.

Since it has been rarely used before, the reserve capacity will naturally not be a problem.

Chen Ye immediately took out the "skinned eyeball rice cake wrapped in crispy meat" and ate it.

With the addition of sea salt and flour, the fried texture is very crispy and not too dry.

Of course.

Compared with the delicacies produced by Wangjing, the taste is naturally much worse.

But considering that when you go out, you always need to get some "dry food" that can help improve your combat effectiveness. You can't ask for too much. If you can eat it and taste good, that's enough.

After eating it...

Chen Ye immediately felt as if he had a brain on his head...

A new pair of screams emerged from his forehead.

Endowed with powerful ability to drill into the ground.

Chen Ye dove into the smooth barrier and suddenly felt like a mouse that could dig holes.

His vision was locked on the bloody centipede in the depths...

The centipede sensed the danger and ran faster.

But unfortunately, [Demon Form] is still a demon-type characteristic.

After Chen Ye's [Demon] was upgraded to the half-step four-turn [Slay Demon in the Air], other characteristics were also upgraded in all aspects, very quickly.

This bloody centipede currently seems to have the strength of only about half a step and two turns, and it cannot escape Chen Ye's tracking at all.

Follow "Drill" all the way...

The duration of the current [Devil Form] can be determined based on the magic power of the magic crystal in the body.

You only need to consume magic power to maintain your demonic form.

The more complex the demon form is, the more magic power it needs to consume.

Of course, at the level of a beetle, and based on Chen Ye's current total magic power, it is basically equivalent to automatic renewal indefinitely, without the need to swallow new ingredients as a supplement.
