Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Chapter 427 Unique Item - [Key of Time]

I saw a deep pit suddenly appeared at the bottom of the whirlpool abyss.

The huge pit does not appear at the bottom, but appears diagonally in front of the field of vision.

Sometimes there are gray flashes around, which keep flashing back, making people feel inexplicably palpitating.

at the same time……

A bronze key, carrying the eternal breath of time, slowly floats ahead.

When Chen Ye's eyes fell on the bronze key, he immediately obtained the relevant information with his talent of [Research on Blood Letters]. Bloody words like tadpoles appeared in front of him, and the descriptions of the relevant information were recorded on them——

【Key to Time】

[Type: Item with unique characteristics]

[Attributes: space system, time system]

[Description: This ancient key can open the door to the long river of time. It is a special realm where time and space do not exist. Only by mastering the sequence of the spiritual world can one enter it and return safely! 】

…………

at this time.

A huge demonic shadow, a hundred feet long, fell from the sky.

Suddenly, with Chen Ye as the center, a torrent of darkness arose around him, swallowing up like a tsunami, covering the sky and the sun, and the momentum was horrifying.

Chen Ye's mind moved slightly: "Are you here?"

The characteristics that are swept up in front of you are so grand in scale and so strong in arrogance that even compared to most fifth-level professions, they are incomparable.

However, Chen Ye was not helpless when faced with the characteristics of [Darkness].

The next second.

His figure also began to blend into the night, turning into water, coming and going freely in the whirlpool of the dark tsunami, flowing here like water.

Boom! ! !

Boom! ! !

The dark vortex swept through everything nearby, including the abandoned electrical appliances, standing stone monuments, and huge stones straddling the gray sky. .

But Chen Ye didn't seem to be affected by it.

That's right, by activating the [Lightless Stalker] title aura, he successfully swam like a fish within the characteristics of darkness, avoiding all fatal damage.

If it is a normal [dark type] profession...

Then, facing the [Night Lord]'s offensive, I am afraid it will inevitably be torn into powder.

But the effect of the title halo is independent of the characteristics.

Like a special rule, it can provide a mechanism for independent operation.

Therefore, [Lord of the Night]’s dark vortex, even if it reaches level five...

However, due to the characteristics of darkness, it will create a "lightless" environment around it.

Since he is a [lightless stalker], he is naturally at home in a lightless environment.

No matter how strong the flood is, it is impossible to drown the fish.

now.

In Chen Ye's eyes, only the key covered with a halo of colored glaze remained at the end of the whirlpool.

In the exploration of the underground world, Chen Ye has already been able to use the [Lightless Stalker] with ease.

Even if the competition is just about the movement function of [Dark System], then Chen Ye's proficiency may be higher than that of [Lord of Night], and he can perform better when facing complex terrain.

Chen Ye turned into dark water and broke through the whirlpool instantly.

at the same time.

In his hand, there was a shining space ring.

The next second.

Chen Ye raised the space ring.

A trace of spiritual fluctuations spread out from the ring, covering the halo of the glass key.

Suddenly, a burst of light erupted from the space ring, forming an inseparable connection with the glass key.

Even though there is a distance of nearly five kilometers...

However, Chen Ye's [Space Ring] can still play a containment role.

There are two reasons -

First, the distance contained by the space ring is determined by mental power. In fact, the characteristics of most professions in the later period are more or less related to mental power. Therefore, theoretically speaking, the higher the professional level, the farther the space ring can be contained.

Secondly, Chen Ye himself has the profession of [Air Combat Demon]. His profession contains the characteristics of [Space System]. He can use the [Space Ring] to a degree that once again breaks through the upper limit of his own level. In terms of application and technology, level, rather than basic numerical values, achieved a breakthrough.

After two consecutive overclockings, Chen Ye's use of [Space Ring] can even be compared to that of a sixth-level profession in some cases.

therefore.

For most players, even if they have a higher-grade [Space Ring] in their hands, it is almost on the same level as Chen Ye in terms of containment distance, and is completely comparable to a dimensionality reduction strike.

Buzz! ! !

Buzz! ! !

At this time, the [Key of Time] in the distance seemed to be pulled by the [Space Ring] and began to tremble slightly.

Chen Ye saw that the connection between [Key of Time] and himself was strengthening.

Specifically, the glazed lines connecting the two continue to grow stronger.

From the insubstantial lines, it gradually moves towards the materialization.

Want to transcend the limitations of space.

Entering the [Space Ring] in Chen Ye’s hand...

"That [Key of Time] seems to be responding to my call?" Chen Ye's mind moved slightly, as if he had keenly captured the idea conveyed by the "Key of Time" with his spirituality.

It is not strange for a characteristic item of this level to have a weak sense of autonomy due to its uniqueness.

Even some half-step fifth-level magic swords will give birth to resentful spirits composed of evil spirits after killing enough dead souls.

So.

For a key to have independent consciousness, Chen Ye is not surprised by this kind of thing.

After all, as an internal beta player, some of the contents of the new version are not yet clear, but what the old version has, aren’t they already mastered to the hilt?

Just when Chen Ye realized that the connection between [Key of Time] and himself was getting closer and closer, and when it was about to be successfully contained...

Suddenly, Chen Ye felt a sharp tingling sensation in his mind.

In his pupils, dark spikes were reflected, piercing directly towards the retina.

"If a sharp spike hits both eyes directly, it is likely to cause temporary blindness, which will be very detrimental to the subsequent situation!"

Chen Ye intuitively told himself that if he was hit by a sharp thorn, it would be very troublesome.

Almost instinctively, he summoned the [Fire Sun Prayer Scroll].

Suddenly.

The surging spirituality rushed into the [Fire Sun Prayer Secret Scroll] under the control of Chen Ye's thoughts.

The next second, a burst of bright fire lit up around Chen Ye, tearing apart the darkness and leaving the light forever.

With the help of the [Fire Sun Prayer Scroll]’s restraining effect on the [Darkness] characteristic...

Chen Ye could barely get rid of the fatal threat posed by these dark spikes.

However, the surrounding firelight also allowed Chen Ye to escape from the [Lightless Stalker] state and outline his complete figure.

At this moment, the figure of [Lord of the Night] covered him again.

At this time, Chen Ye saw a strange shadow on the [Lord of the Night]...

"That shadow?"

Chen Ye's eyes moved slightly, and for some reason he felt that the shadow looked familiar.

Wait... isn't this the shadow that covered [Lord of the Night] when he entered the iron gate?

But the shadow at that time was just a gray shadow. It didn't look much different from the other gray shadows. It was just that the time it stayed on the [Lord of the Night] was not short-lived compared to other witches. Stay, but continue to possess.

However, now the shadow seems to have more "activity" and has become more complete and autonomous.

and.

This sense of autonomy seems to have overshadowed the consciousness of the [Lord of the Night] himself.

Based on the current situation, it is difficult to figure out whether the current [Lord of the Night] is actually the [Lord of the Night] himself...

It is very possible that it has been completely replaced by a very threatening aboriginal.

Generally speaking…

When players are fighting aborigines, in terms of understanding alone, the players should have the advantage.

But this situation is not absolute...

Some high-level natives are more skillful than players in using their characteristics.

Perhaps, in terms of game understanding, it is still insufficient compared to top-level players. After all, players stand in God's perspective mode, understand the structure of the entire game, and can share strategies with other players.

But the fighting skills of the indigenous people are not necessarily weaker than those of the players.

After all, the fighting instinct of the aborigines can be said to be quite terrifying.

With that instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, in a one-on-one situation, the way to deal with characteristics may show a much more terrifying sense of smell and reaction than the players.

"This guy... is really crazy... aren't you afraid that this method will bring irreversible negative effects to him?"

Chen Ye couldn't help but frown, and suddenly felt that the [Lord of the Night] in front of him gave him a strange sense of disobedience.

That empty gaze, when it fell on him, seemed to be watched by a crazy and dangerous monster. There was no humanity in it at all, only hysterical and crazy mental fluctuations, just like a code written randomly. There are no rules, and it is even impossible to understand whether what is hidden behind this madness is bloodthirsty and instinctive killing, or another kind of madness that is beyond the scope of human understanding.

This is not at the same spiritual level as the previous [Lord of the Night].

With Chen Ye's keen spirituality, it was easy to capture this.

However, when [Night Lord] chooses to use his trump card, doesn't he think about the consequences?

Even if you want to use your hole card, you should choose to play it like this while leaving a backup, right?

But after using this trump card, Chen Ye felt that the [Lord of the Night]'s consciousness seemed to have disappeared.

The other person looks alive, but is essentially dead.

Death on a spiritual level…

However, Chen Ye felt that this was somewhat unreasonable.

Logically speaking, the trump card used by [Night Lord] is also to complete this mission, regain the key, close the passage, and prevent all accidents from happening, so that he can deal with his superiors after returning to the organization.

But after using such a desperate trump card, he almost declared that his game was over...

So what is the significance of using hole cards?

Is it just to destroy yourself?

But Chen Ye has almost no contact with the [Lord of the Night]. Apart from the conflict of interests, there is no deep hatred between the two parties at all. Is it okay to use such suicidal methods?

In addition, based on Chen Ye's previous observations, [Night Lord] is definitely not an idiot who would do something like self-destruction out of impulse.

On the contrary, he is very smart and follows the survival rules of "Strange Era".

No benefit is more important than your own life and the integrity of your self-awareness.

In the world of "Strange Era", the death of self-awareness is the real meaning of death. Sometimes, this kind of death is more terrifying than the death of the physical body.

Therefore, it makes no sense for [Night Lord] to use such a "self-destructive" method.

So……

There is another possibility——

The trump card used by [Night Lord] exceeded his own expectations, and it is likely that unexpected results occurred.

Could it be that the top brass of the Dark Night Organization were hiding some information about their trump cards?

But when you think about it, it seems impossible, right?

After all, the reason why the Dark Night Organization recruits and trains players is to complete a certain task.

so.

The trump card that this organization gives to its core members is, of course, meant to complete the mission.

Since the mission is to be completed, it is necessary to ensure that the members of the organization have a clear sense of combat.

Being in a state of chaos like this, you are lucky enough not to cause any trouble. Do you still expect to be able to complete the task smoothly in this state?

Isn’t that complete nonsense?

so.

Now, there is only one last possibility left -

The trump card used by [Lord of the Night] may have produced some unexpected chemical reaction with the environment he was in.

Under this reaction, [Night Lord] lost his self-awareness, and at the same time, his strength also reached a level that far exceeded the upper limit that the trump card itself could improve.

Chen Ye saw that the shadow behind [Lord of the Night] had mutated, and he had already vaguely predicted this in his heart.

"This guy... I'm afraid something has completely revived in his body!"

"I'm afraid there's going to be trouble..."

Chen Ye stared at the strange shadow behind [Lord of the Night] with his eyes of luck.

The strange shadow is also watching him... through the eyes of [Lord of the Night].

At this moment, Chen Ye gradually realized that he was fighting a monster.

No longer the [Lord of the Night] himself.

He finally understood why the [Night Lord] suddenly used special spiritual methods.

The career information given in [Scarlet Research] does not show that [Night Lord] has other sub-careers.

So.

Where did this spiritual characteristic come from?

The answer is already obvious.

[Night Lord] has something new incorporated into him.

This kind of thing is more dangerous than expected!
