Chapter 1702: Demon Eruption
Although Mayor Kelly and dozens of his supporters were very resistant to and even disgusted with Bai Xiaowen, they had no way to expel Bai Xiaowen.
Because they are not supported by the militia.
It can be seen from this that the real power figure in Utu Town is actually Hurlbut, but the old man himself did not pay attention to this.
Of course, this is not accurate. Hurlbut's influence came from the militia units he had trained in the town of Utu, and these militia units obeyed Hurlbut's orders because they admired Hurlbut's character and reputation.
If Hurlbut had gone against the grain and had deviated from the militia's values, they would have abandoned him.
......
Utu town militia training ground.
"I heard that Lord Christos came here from another dimension?"
"Yes. ”
"And what is the world you live in?" asked Hurlbut.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while: "It's also a world that values strength, but it's not as dangerous as this world, and there aren't so many demons. ”
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said, "If you want, I can take you to my world and get out of your current life." ”
Hurlbut shook his head and said, "No." There have been attempts by outsiders from other worlds before, but they have all failed. It is said that because of our special constitution, we cannot pass through the barriers of the dimensional world. ”
[And this kind of saying?]
Bai Xiaowen's eyes condensed slightly: "Can you let me give it a try?" This requires you to join my command willingly. ”
Hurlbut wasn't really sure.
He said: "I'm old, I've lived here all my life, even if I die, I have to die in Utu Town, and I don't want to leave...... You ask a few of them to see if there are any that you would like to go to and can help you with this experiment. ”
The humans of the Dark Age are quite tired of this world, and Hurlbut is an exception.
Bai Xiaowen asked slightly, and a militiaman stood up and was willing to be the tester.
Bai Xiaowen tried to pay the spirit crystal to teleport this militia to his territory and become a member of the territory.
However, in the process, the rules of the spirit world came with a hint:
"Demon blood has been detected in the target creature's body, containing a strong aura of chaos. ”
"You'll need to pay an additional 500 spirit crystals to clear the chaotic aura from the target's body to complete the recruitment. ”
"Warning: Clearing the aura of chaos will cause the target creature's strength to drop significantly!"
"Do you agree?"
Bai Xiaowen was speechless for a while, so he could only choose no.
Normally, recruiting a level 17 elite only costs 170 spirit crystals.
As a result, humans in the Dark Age had to spend an additional 500 spirit crystals to recruit, for a total of 670 spirit crystals, which was almost four times the price.
If only that were all there was to it. After recruitment, the strength has dropped significantly, and it is really fatal, looking at the way the rules of the spirit world are described, I am afraid that it is not as simple as dropping a template.
Then the problem arises again.
Since the "Aura of Chaos" is so tricky and requires a high price to clear, how did Meng Chuan recruit so many demon armies?
Or is it that only the Dark Age humans need to be cleared of chaos when they are recruited, and the demons don't?
Bai Xiaowen was difficult to understand, so he could only put this issue aside for the time being.
Seeing Bai Xiaowen's "failure" in the experiment, Hurlbut was actually a little frustrated. However, he reversed and comforted Bai Xiaowen first: "It's okay, there have been outsiders who have tried it before and failed to succeed, and we are already mentally prepared." ”
Bai Xiaowen nodded silently. He did not inform Hurlbut of the facts.
Hurlbut's excitement: "Lord Christos, let me show you the peculiarity of the native humans. Lorenzo, come here!"
A young militiaman with a sturdy build, stepped forward. He is a rare elite-level aura, and he can be regarded as a strong opponent in Utu Town.
"Let's get started. Hurlbut said.
Lorenzo nodded, and suddenly howled, and the blood vessels on the surface of his body suddenly bloomed, and the green tendons were exposed. Green magic patterns spread on the surface of his skin, and Lorenzo's eyes also became a trace of blood red.
Bai Xiaowen sighed lightly. At this time, Lorenzo's strength actually ushered in a surge, and his spiritual power value increased by fifty percent!
This is a terrifying ascension, a leap from the rare elite-level spiritual power to the point where it is enough to compete with the boss, or even the rare boss.
Of course, the increase in basic attributes is relatively small, only increasing by 20%.
Lorenzo threw a hardwood gun at the target in front of him, and with a bang, the hardwood gun was already deeply embedded in the mountain wall, blasting a deep hole in the rock.
Hurlbut introduced: "Lord Christos, this is the skill of our native humans, we call it 'Demon Outburst'! According to the late Great Sage Erasmus, our human beings here, under the influence of evil energy for a long time, have been mutated from the root of their blood, containing some demonic blood. After conscious training, the power of demonic blood can be activated, and a powerful additional strength can be gained in a short period of time. ”
Lorenzo finished showing it and put away the demonic outburst state, but a slight trace of blood could still be seen under his eyes, which was somewhat terrifying.
"So, Instructor Hurlbut, what is the price?"
Bai Xiaowen didn't believe that there was power in the world that could be obtained at his fingertips at no cost.
Hurlbut's expression was slightly gloomy: "The duration of the demonic outbreak is limited, if the outbreak state is forcibly maintained, the explosion death is the best result." What is truly terrifying is to be completely corrupted by the blood of demons and become a degenerate. For example......"
Hurlbut, speaking of this, glanced at the witch Kai Luowen next to him, who had not spoken.
Bai Xiaowen understands that there is no interface.
On the contrary, it was the witch Kai Luowen who said calmly: "Just like my father, Captain Abin Freval. ”
Hurlbut sighed.
The witch Kai Luowen turned to Bai Xiaowen: "Lord Christos, by slaying the Demon Lord, you have shown us your abilities. Next, we ask for your help in slaying the Calamity Demon King who is entrenched here and lifting the blockade he has set up!"
Hearing the first few words of the witch Kai Luowen, Bai Xiaowen already felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, he jumped directly to the "Calamity Demon King" in the back!
Spiritual rules prompt information, come at the right time:
"Divine Descent Continuous Side Quest II.: [End of Calamity] opens. ”
[Objective: Completely destroy the Demon King of Calamity.] 】”
"[Difficulty: B]"
"[Mission Duration: None (equivalent to the remaining time you spend on the Dark Age Plane)]"
"[Reward: 2000 Spirit Crystals]. ”
"Do you accept it?"
