This leather mask, which can cover the upper half of his face, is the trophy that Lin Chi received after defeating a certain wrestling hunk in the All-Star Game. Although it can be used to hide the face, because the side effects of the mask's own skill are too great, Lin Chi has not used it since he obtained it.

As for why the side effects of skills are too great, just read the item description to make it clear:

Fan. Darkholm's mask. （Van.Darkholme's-Mask）

Helmet.

Item Class: Epic.

Light armor that requires no proficiency to use. Minimum Strength Required: 15.

PLAYERS WEARING THIS MASK WILL RECEIVE A NEW ABILITY, DEEP-DARK-FANTASY, WHICH AWAKENS THE HIDDEN DARK FORCES WITHIN, INCREASING STRENGTH, AGILITY, AND STAMINA BY 6, BUT REDUCING LUCK BY 6.

"This is the mask used by legendary wrestler Duckholm, and it is said that when he wears it, his combat power will be terrifyingly enhanced. But at the same time, his men betrayed him. ”

- The physical stat value provided by this skill included in the mask is even better than the recognized skill "War Horn" obtained after building the barracks, but the negative effect of reducing the luck value by six points may be a fatal blow to players with low luck in the early stage.

Regarding the importance of in-game luck, a real European emperor has already demonstrated it in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers, and when it comes to players with low luck value, there are already streamers like "Terminator" who have demonstrated it firsthand. With Lin Chi's current attribute value, the side effects of reducing the luck value of six points are basically unbearable.

But this time, with the help of another prop, the wrestler's mask finally came into play.

Lin Chi took out the Divine Reliance Badge that had been upgraded by Mephistopheles from his backpack, chose the option to upgrade his skills, and directly upgraded the skill that had just appeared in his skill bar from level 1 to level 3. As the skill level is upgraded by two levels, the effect also changes dramatically:

DEEP-DARK-FANTASY (Level 3):

Awaken the dark forces hidden deep within, increasing Strength, Agility and Stamina by 10, but decreasing Luck by 2.

After leveling up, the positive effects of this skill are increased, while the negative effects are weakened a lot.

Now, the stat value provided by the mask has completely crushed the Horn of War, and as long as the mask is worn, the effect can last forever, and as for the reduced two luck points, it is basically negligible compared to the positive effect.

At this time, Lin Chi's strength and agility had reached 27 points, his stamina was 26 points, and his luck value had dropped to 13. Although this kind of attribute value can't compete with the butcher, it is definitely more than enough to deal with the little minions of the Lion Gang.

He pulled out two sabers and triggered the level 4 Titan Grip, which directly exceeded 30 points in strength and agility. Looking at Lin Chi's appearance wearing a mask, a dull voice sounded under the butcher's metal helmet:

"Your mask is stupid."

"Isn't it normal for a murderer to wear a mask and commit murder?" Lin Chi smiled: "Otherwise, what's the matter with the iron helmet on your head?" ”

"The helmet is part of my skull, about the size of a skull." The butcher opened his mouth to show his sharp teeth, and a corpse stench wafted out of his mouth: "At the Doomsday Hotel, I am responsible for cleaning out the outsiders who invaded that child's consciousness. ”

"Alright, let's get started." Hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps at the entrance of the parking lot, Lin Chi stepped forward slowly: "It's time for them to feel the real fear." ”

……

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and do it!" The black man with dreadlocks roared.

In the eyes of this little leader, no matter how fast the opponent is, he is only flesh and blood, and when facing the submachine guns of dozens of armed bandits, he can only end up being killed!

It wasn't until the black man shouted again that the members of the Lion Gang finally came to their senses, clenched their submachine guns and cautiously walked into the parking lot, entered the dark underground space, and began to look for the traces of the two "merchants" just now.

This underground parking lot, which has long been unattended, has a very wide interior space, and some discarded broken cars are parked inside, and the body has long been covered with a layer of dust.

In addition, there is a lot of debris piled up inside the parking lot, which seems to be used as a temporary garbage dump, making the visibility inside even lower.

Several gang members pulled out flashlights to create a few rays of light in the darkness, while others pulled out their phones to light up their phones and look for the two who had escaped into the parking lot.

Then they heard a screeching metal friction sound:

Whoop -

The shrill voice, as if evoking the instinctive fear in the heart, caused several gang members who were walking in front to retreat one after another, while the others immediately raised their guns and aimed at the direction where the sound came.

"Who?" A gang member shouted.

These thugs, who have been at large in Beicheng District for a long time, usually don't know what "fear" is, but now, they feel a trace of fear.

- In the dark shadows of the parking lot, something seemed to be staring at him.

The harsh metal grinding sound became more and more intense, like a sharp knife slashing through the heart, and the sound of heavy footsteps was mixed in, and it sounded from nowhere, as if it was surrounding the mob from all directions.

Even before anyone was seen, a horrific sense of oppression had swept over them, making it almost impossible for the thugs in the underground parking lot to breathe, and the gang members gasped for air, sweat beads on their foreheads despite the cold air around them.

Leaning next to a dusty jeep, one of the gang members was clearly on the verge of collapse, his eyes rolling wildly, his gaze wandering wildly, and he kept taking deep breaths to calm his emotions, but in vain.

The loud sound of metal grinding began to approach, as if someone was dragging some heavy object slowly, and there was a stench in the cold air, which smelled like the corpse of a homeless man lying on the side of the street in the middle of summer.

"Give it to me...... Eat X and go! ”

The gang members, who had lost their minds under the pressure of intense fear, roared and turned around, raising their guns to aim at the dark space behind them.

However, he didn't see anything.

The flashlight clenched in his trembling left hand made a circle of light in the darkness, and all that came into view was the dusty ground, some household garbage piled on the ground, and flies flying around in the garbage heap.

Is it a delusion?

Realizing that the friction just now had disappeared, he let out a long breath, raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his head, and turned around to return to the jeep—

Click!

There was a crisp thud, and his body froze.

"I ......"

At the moment when the voice rang out, he didn't know what was going on, until an unbelievably hot pain burst out of his chest, and the member of the Lion Gang finally realized a terrifying truth:

- I was disemboweled!

He screamed frantically, but his voice grew quieter and quieter, and at the last moment before his consciousness was destroyed by the pain, a tall gray-white figure appeared in his sight.
