Volume 7: War and Peace Chapter 33: A Kind Reminder
After leaving the spiritual world, Yu Bin was not in the mood to continue exploring the obsidian mine.
He felt like he must have been targeted by something! In fact, this feeling has been looming for a long time. Initially obtaining the treasure map of the Great Sorcerer Griman from the reward of the Raid Mission, then meeting Navik Frost in the Bone Place, and then encountering the past in Southsea Town, if these can be explained by some plausible reasons, then the assassination of Elvia in Kodila eventually led to the reshuffle of the dungeon forces, the destruction of Mosso Black City, and the return of the imprisoned Sinestra to power. And the adventure in Blackstone Mountain made Yu Bin further confirm this feeling! The sudden appearance of the dragon fire pendant and the successful escape of Marshal Windsor are not at all explained by the so-called luck!
And the opportunity for Yu Bin to finally be convinced that he was being targeted was this encounter with the Mind Snatcher! No matter how successful a Mind Flayer Demon is in successfully passing through the Void Storm and Spatial Turbulence, just the other end of the spatial passage happened to be in the Great Hengduan Mountain Range, and it was still near him, as if someone had deliberately sent this legendary Mind Flayer who had been extremely weak to the point to Yu Bin, making him feel an indescribable weirdness!
Lady Luck Taimora? That weak god god who has been a god for less than 10,000 years, and who barely survives by relying on the beliefs of dwarves, dwarfs and some elves, if this ability, Yu Bin dares to engrave her name on the stone tablet of the Pantheon!
Yu Bin doesn't know who is watching him secretly, but what he has always pursued is to be cautious, although the player basically has no ability to resist in the face of the existence of gods outside the specifications, but there is still a big difference between taking the initiative to die and being found by someone, at least Yu Bin feels that it is far more dangerous to continue to go deep into the Great Hengduan Mountain Range when he is exhausted and exhausted than to shrink into Naxxramas to live a mess! Who knows what else he'll run into next, even the legendary Mind Flayer has come out, maybe even the Void Lord will be able to bump into one later!
Turn around! Go home!
Yu Bin walked back while calculating the gains and losses this time.
Generally speaking, this encounter is still worth the loss for Yu Bin! In addition to leaving the soul origin for Yu Bin, Ilmost, who only had the soul body left, can be said to have come cleanly, leaving refreshed and refreshing, leaving no loot behind, and Yu Bin paid a great price for victory!
The full energy soul suppression bead was directly emptied, and I don't know how much it will cost to fill this bead again! And this is not the biggest loss, what is even worse is Yu Bin's spiritual world. Although Yu Bin has avoided being eroded by Ilmoste as much as possible in the battle, no matter how careful he is, this battle still has a great impact on Bin's spiritual world, Yu Bin's soul body that has been attacked many times has directly reduced the upper limit of his soul energy by 100 points, and the damaged spiritual world has made Yu Bin's spiritual attributes be cut off by a full two hundred points at one time, which makes Yu Bin unspeakably depressed!
This is one of the reasons why players in the previous life hated fighting enemies like the Mind Flayer, because no matter what the outcome is, in most cases, it is the player's spiritual world that becomes the battlefield, which makes the player have to swallow this bitter fruit, if it weren't for the fact that in the previous life he was forced too badly by those bastards in the bottomless abyss, it is impossible for players who pursue extreme egoism to take the initiative to find trouble with these guys!
The loss is very large, but the benefits are also a lot, although it is not as good as the part that Yu Bin lost.
A legendary-level Mind Flayer Demon can already be called a ninth-order creature in terms of level, coupled with the double template bonus of ancient creatures and Soul Eater elites, Yu Bin instantly gained a lot of experience, and directly let Yu Bin cross the twenty extra levels and rush to the third-order 140 level in one go, which can be regarded as avoiding the hard work of boring leveling for Yu Bin, who is determined to be reincarnated perfectly. Even so, there is still a lot of experience absorbed by the Demon Bone Dragon Horse, which makes this undead top-level mount directly upgraded to the third-order cap, and finally synchronizes with Yu Bin's level!
In addition, what was somewhat unexpected to Yu Bin was that in his personal state, the "extreme challenge" that had made him miserable three times actually showed the state of "completed", Yu Bin still remembers how painful the first three extreme challenges he completed, this time it was so simple, which made him unexpectedly a little uneasy.
ใExtreme Challenge 4): You have proven that you have the will and ability to surpass the past, always remember this, which will allow you to go further on the road of power! Still, for a challenger who wants to push the envelope, it's not enough to just outdo yourself! You have to prove that you are more qualified than other species. What could be better than to challenge an older powerhouse? Defeat an Ancient Species (at least Tier 6, with targets including Ancient Creature Species, Ancient Creature Species, Ancient Elven Species, Divine Species, Pure-Blood Dragon Species, and Primordial Demon)!
And now Yu Bin's extreme challenge state has become a completed state, and the completion rate is still 200%!
Extreme Challenge (4) (200% Completed): You have managed to kill an ancient creature, and you are still in the field that the opponent is best at! You have proven that will and effort are far more important than blood! This legendary challenge will keep you fearless against the Ancient Seed, and when the enemy is an Ancient Seed, you will gain a 12 bonus to your base verdict!
In Yu Bin's opinion, this is much better than directly giving him dozens of attribute points, the basic judgment bonus can take effect at all times when it needs to be judged, and the full 12-point bonus can be said to make Yu Bin directly reduce the difficulty when facing similar situations in the future (the upper limit of ordinary judgment is 40 points, the upper limit of heroic judgment is 56 points, the upper limit of legendary judgment is 72 points, and the upper limit of legendary judgment is 84 points).
As a straightforward example, such as the dragon hunt that is commonly performed by players in the later stages, although the target of this activity is nothing more than the unrecognized dragon blood of the Earth Dragons or Fire Dragons, which have a portion of the dragon bloodline, but the difficulty is no less than that of ordinary dragons. Before the player launches an attack, the first thing he needs to face is the dragon power that the dragon blood species generally has, and the dragon power will conduct a shock judgment on players who enter a certain range, and the difficulty of judging is up and down according to the strength of the dragon blood species, and the difficulty of the dragon power judgment of non-pure blood dragon species is generally around 50.
If the player fails to pass the judgment, the next attack will not be affected by the dragon's power, if the player cannot pass the judgment, they will be afraid and unable to attack, or they will fall into a state of shock, or even lead to escape, which will greatly affect the player's morale. Therefore, every time a player in the previous life organized a dragon hunting event, he had certain requirements for the basic judgment bonus, at least to ensure that the players participating in the battle would not be easily affected by the dragon power and would not be able to fight.
Paying such a big price but only getting the level improvement and the completion of the extreme challenge may be acceptable to ordinary players, but for Bin, the weights placed on both sides of this balance cannot be balanced at all, and the loss of soul beads and soul energy and attributes cannot be measured by level and experience at all, the latter can be owned as long as Yu Bin spends a certain amount of time, and the former does not know how to make up for it!
After Yu Bin, who sighed secretly, returned to Naxxramas, Maltan brought him good news.
The shaman of the Ring of the Earth came to him to complete the deal that Yu Bin had personally agreed to in the Black Wing's Lair! Exchange the Elemental Harmony in the hands of the Sandworm Lord for the soul of the red dragon Valastaz in Bin's hands.
In the council chamber, Yu Bin saw the shaman who had come to make a deal.
"I didn't expect it to be you, Lord Drektar!"
Standing in front of Yu Bin is an old man who has been eroded by the years, his fragile legs make it impossible for the former leader of the frost wolf clan to ride, and his blind eyes make the old shaman's life inconvenient, although Drektar has a high reputation among the orcs, but soon he will become the soul of the ancestors like those historical figures, silently watching the progress of the orcs.
Drektar was wearing neither the iron ornaments usual for orcs, nor the staff strung from bone shards, but a slightly larger, earth-colored cape, which made the legendary shaman look like an old orc on the verge of a grave. Only the frost wolf crouching beside Drektar can make people realize the extraordinary nature of this orc shaman, after all, no one would believe that it would be an ordinary person who could make a legendary frost wolf willing to be a mount.
Yu Bin had several conversations with the orcs in his previous life, and Drektar would often wander the advanced map of the Bleak Lands, silently healing the wounds left by ancient creatures in the land, and players would sometimes receive several tasks from the old shaman, mainly to destroy the demons and monsters that were active in the Bleak Lands, and at the same time, Drektar would occasionally sell potions that allowed players to temporarily gain strength to fight enemies.
For this Excellency, Yu Bin respects him from the bottom of his heart, not only because Drektar single-handedly cultivated the current orc Great Chief Thrall, but also because of the concept upheld by this old shaman, he and the minotaur shaman Moon Earth Fury gave up their status in their respective races after traveling to the Ntagri continent, and established the shamanic organization of the Earth Ring, trying to heal the world through shamanic teachings and ancestral spirits, in a sense, They are no different from another ancient organization, the Senarion Council. Unlike the Council of Cenarion, which only accepts druid professions, the Ring of the Earth is more inclusive and more active in its approach.
Of course, there will be two sides to any organization, how to maintain the purity of the organization is a debate that can never be ended, even the Cenarion Council, which is the purest profession, has experienced the betrayal of the Grand Druid Vandal Deer Helmet in its previous life, not to mention the "good and bad" shamanic group of the Earth Ring, driven by some radicals, Moon Earth Fury acquiesced to their behavior of using the soul of the five-colored dragon to reshape the ancient dragon, trying to change the fragile elemental balance on the continent of Entagri in this way.
Although this plan proved to be unworkable, the ancient dragon created by the shamans in the previous life became a crazy monster, and in order to destroy him, the Ring of the Earth paid a heavy price, and Moon Wrath was killed in battle, and it was because of Moon's death that the Ring of the Earth fell into a leaderless situation, and this ancient organization was completely unable to play a noticeable role in the later war against the Abyss.
The failure to reshape the Elder Dragon and the betrayal of Grand Druid Vandal Deerhelm deprived the Ring of Earth and the Council of Cenarion their best chance to stop the Abyss invasion, and cost them greatly in the war that followed.
"Hail to you, owner of the God-given land!" Drektar bowed slightly, the old shaman did not call Yu Bin by the nickname of Death Knight or Destroyer of Everything, and it was obvious that he was not hostile to the undead in front of him. Yu Bin also thought that his consistent approach would make the shaman world of the Ring of the Earth, whose mission is to heal the world, shout and kill.
"It's just a transaction, and it will make His Excellency Drektar come forward, and the Ring of the Earth seems to have paid a lot of price in the Jerimanca Desert!" Yu Bin doesn't think he is worthy of Drektar's appearance, this old shaman's status in the ring of the earth is equivalent to that of a shaman mentor, and he is deeply loved by those young shamans, he thinks about it, I am afraid that only the ring of the earth has a large loss, and other old powerhouses have no way to ensure the safety of the transaction.
After all, for NPC forces, how much heroic power Yu Bin's Naxxramas possess is not a difficult puzzle to solve.
"The result is insignificant compared to what we have gotten!" Although Drektar is blind in both eyes, he is obviously not at the level of old dizziness, "Your Excellency, the Ring of Earth has brought the Harmony of the Elements as you requested, and we hope that the transaction will be completed smoothly!" โ
"Of course, I don't want to keep this thing in my hands." Yu Bin took out the soul gem that absorbed the soul of Valastaz from his backpack and threw it to Drektar without looking at it. This thing is also a hot potato for Yu Bin, and God knows if the red dragon will come to the door because of this.
For Yu Bin to be so simple, Drektar was a little surprised, but fortunately, there was no obvious change in expression on his old face, the old shaman took the soul gem, and nodded after careful inspection: "Thank you for your help, Your Excellency, there are few undead who abide by the contract like you!" โ
For those teasing in the chaotic camp, Yu Bin was already very disgusted! The most annoying thing for players is NPCs who don't follow the contract, and they say how much reward they will give, but they turn their faces and don't recognize people, which can make players want to kill his whole family!
"Before you leave, I hope that the honorable Lord Drektar will listen to me, a little fellow." Taking the Elemental Harmony of his dreams from the old shaman's hand, Yu Bin lowered his voice and said, "The key to reshaping the ancient dragon lies in the soul, not the source of the power, and the five-colored dragon is not equal to the ancient dragon!" โ
The aura on Drektar's body changed instantly, and the huge pressure through the air could make Yu Bin unable to move, and the legendary frost wolf Rui'er, who had been curled up next to him, also opened his eyes and stared at Yu Bin deadly.
"It's just a reminder!" Yu Bin spread his hands, anyway, he had already fulfilled his obligations, if these shamans of the Ring of the Earth continued to walk on this road of death, Yu Bin would not care about them.
In contrast, the harmony of the elements he held in his hand was something more important!
