Inside the foggy mines, there was a deafening thunderclap and a chilly air coming out of the cracks in the rocks.

In the depths of the mine, Hu Yanxue held the giant hammer of green thunder in one hand and tightly pinched the black beetle that was only half a human tall in the other.

This is the mother worm that Shi Fangtian and the others found after entering the hive, they thought it would be a vicious battle, but when Shi Fangtian got closer, he found that the mother worm's body was already covered with fine scars, as if it had been bound by thorny plants.

The black beetle was badly wounded and dying, so it was very slow to move. Shi Fangtian didn't have much effort, and easily froze it on the ground, making it unable to move.

Hu Yanxue seized this opportunity and punched the beetle in the abdomen, the sandbag-sized fist was deeply embedded in the beetle's body, and the carapace on its back was also shattered layer by layer under the momentum.

The emerald green bodily fluids squirted out, and the black beetle tried to fight back as it was dying, and many barbs suddenly protruded from its shaking front paws.

Woooooooo The thunder patterns on the runestone hammer gradually materialized at this time, like a coating, making the hammer look more metallic as a whole.

The beetle's barb scratched its surface, and sparks burst into flames.

The thunder on the Huyan Snow Stone Hammer flashed, and the beetle's barbs shattered one after another, and the thunder was like a needle, passing through layers of obstacles and stabbing directly into its heart.

With a plop, dust flew up, and the black female worm finally fell to the ground, slowly disintegrating into pieces.

The powder formed by the corpse of the mother worm did not dissipate, but swirled and fell and condensed into a black ball of light, suspended in mid-air.

There was a strange wave on the black ball of light, Hu Yanxue had a strange feeling, the ball of light seemed to be calling to herself, and she involuntarily walked over.

[Mother Worm Heart]: Increases Physical Resistance by 30% and Soul Resistance by 50%.

Shi Fangtian looked at the attributes of the ball of light, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, Shi Fangtian was still embarrassed because Hu Yanxue generously gave up his belt, but now the appearance of [Worm Mother Heart] made him feel much better.

"Sister Xue, this is your exclusive equipment." Shi Fangtian shouted at Hu Yanxue behind her.

Hu Yanxue looked at the ball of light in front of her, without saying a word, she slowly stretched out her right hand and gently touched the surface of the ball of light.

The light rippled, and the black ball flew happily as if it had a sense, and then suddenly rushed into Hu Yanxue's heart and blended in.

As soon as the black ball of light entered Hu Yanxue's body, it was connected to her mind, and Hu Yanxue could clearly feel the pleasure coming from the ball of light.

Hu Yanxue turned to Shi Fangtian and said, "Xiaotian, the black ball of light seems to be smiling at me. ”

Originally, when he watched the ball of light rush into Hu Yanxue's body, Shi Fangtian was still worried, but he didn't feel any malice from the ball of light.

Now listening to Hu Yanxue's words, he was even more sure, this was like the situation when he encountered the Frost Mark Sword.

It is almost impossible for the soul in the weapons and equipment to communicate with one's own mind, but it appeared in Shi Fangtian and Hu Yanxue.

Shi Fangtian looked at Hu Yanxue, and after confirming that the other party did not appear unusual, he asked, "Sister Xue, how do you feel now?" ”

"I feel like I'm getting more resistant to beating, and I have a special ability." Hu Yanxue touched her chest and said a little incredulously.

As she spoke, Hu Yanxue clenched her hands into fists, only to see a stream of black energy gushing out of her chest, covering her whole body in an instant.

The light flashed, and Shi Fangtian looked at Hu Yanxue in front of him with a shocked expression.

It was a black, metallic armor that looked extremely hard.

Although it only covered the chest, elbows and knees, Hu Yanxue told Shi Fangtian that this armor was a growth type.

[Queen's Suit]: Increases HP by 600 after being summoned, increases the [Retaliation] effect, and ignores poison, stun, and knockback. The suit lasts for ten minutes and has a cooldown of three hours. Growth-oriented gear.

The expression on Shi Fangtian's face was very exciting, first a look of concern, then his eyes widened and he became shocked, and finally his eyes flashed with excitement.

He ran to Hu Yanxue's face, looked her suit up and down, and said, "Sister Xue, this suit is so suitable for you, it's just tailor-made for you, handsome!" ”

As he spoke, Shi Fangtian gave Hu Yanxue a thumbs up and praised her for being amazing.

Hu Yanxue touched the armor on her body, her eyes flashed, she punched the rock wall, and said to herself: "Dad, Mom, you wait..."

Looking at Hu Yanxue's appearance, Shi Fangtian was also secretly cheering in his heart, and at this time, his eyes were attracted by somewhere.

What kind of writing seems to be written on the ground?

Shi Fangtian walked to a certain corner, raised the torch in his hand and looked closer, only to find that it was the word "borrowing".

Leverage?

At this time, the sound of the system prompt sounded in the minds of the two of them at the same time:

[Congratulations on completing the mission: Mine Crisis, gaining 300 general reputation and 3000 fireflies.] 】

Shi Fangtian glanced at Hu Yanxue and said, "I almost forgot that we also took a side quest, but fortunately the system reminded me." ”

The corners of Hu Yanxue's mouth curved slightly, but soon returned to a non-sad and unhappy appearance, and she asked, "Prestige?" Can this be exchanged for weapons? ”

Shi Fangtian smiled, and he said, "Obviously not, that can only make the worship value of the characters in the game increase for you." ”

Wait a minute!

Shi Fangtian suddenly felt as if he had grasped something, and he walked to the corner again and squatted down, staring at those two words carefully.

"Borrow the momentum, borrow the momentum..."Shi Fangtian repeated those two words, and at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Shi Fangtian slapped his thigh violently, and said to himself: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, since I have worship values, it means that I can establish my own power." ”

"It's a lot more beneficial than being alone."

Shi Fangtian took a few steps, and he exuded an extremely dense frost mist all over his body, wrapping himself and Hu Yanxue in it, and then slowly told her his thoughts.

...

In front of a small wooden house near Mount Wuming, an old man with a white beard was standing there with his hands in his hands and looking at the sky in the distance.

I only heard him shout: "Where is the Eight Martial Arts?" The voice is high and transparent, and when you hear it, you are not an ordinary person.

Behind the old man, eight shadows appeared ghostly, both men and women, all veiled and unable to see their faces.

But each of them was dressed in white, and their backs were embroidered with different patterns, including scorpions, cicadas, monkeys, wolves, and so on.

"Please command!"

The eight responded in unison.

The white-bearded old man still turned his back to them, and said lightly: "Find out what are the forces that covet the mine." Just probe, don't do anything superfluous. ”

"Yes!"

The eight disappeared again without a sound, as if they had never appeared.

The old man shook his head and walked step by step into the cabin, which was simply furnished with some necessary items, as well as a mirror hanging on the wall called "Verner's Prayer".

The white-bearded old man's palm flipped over, and a [Brave Mark] with a severely worn surface appeared in his hand.

This situation is very similar to the old man who helped Hu Yanxue in the Gray Nest Cemetery in the Gulog Kingdom, and she also has a [Brave Mark] on her body.

Why do items that should belong to the player appear on NPCs? And from the last words of the old man in the gray nest cemetery, it can be vaguely judged that she was once a brave and a hero.

The white-bearded old man sat down in his chair, silently stroking the mark, and he muttered in a low voice, "The battle between light and darkness has never stopped, and it seems that this time, I can't stay out of it." ”

He walked to the window and looked in the direction of Wuming Mountain again, and the old man's eyes gradually deepened.
