9. Crossing the catastrophe
more
Jade Chasing Horse is about to upgrade.
This is good news, but with this good news comes bad news.
Jade Chasing Horse has been upgraded from three-star to four-star, and he actually wants to survive the catastrophe!
When Cheng Peng saw this system prompt, he was really scorched by thunder - it was just a three-star war beast to a four-star, can it be so exaggerated to cross the catastrophe!
When Cheng Peng angrily raised his middle finger to protest against the system uncle, other players happened to be there, and the white water snake king, who was a monster, immediately laughed. Adventure 9
"It turns out that you don't know everything as a master......"
Under his explanation, Cheng Peng understood the meaning of this "crossing the catastrophe".
In the Eastern mythology system, monsters usually practice and accumulate Taoist mana, and they will not cause a catastrophe, and there are generally two situations that will really lead to a catastrophe, either they are intolerant of evil, and then there will be a catastrophe, and the infinite thunder and heavenly fire will continue to fall, and it must be killed to the scum before it is over; Either the cultivation has reached the threshold, and it is about to step on a step, from quantitative change to qualitative change, and at this time, it will also fall into the heavenly tribulation, but the intensity is generally not very high, as long as you have excellent ability or good luck, you can pass the level smoothly.
For example, the White Water Snake Monarch himself, since he began to cultivate, has survived two heavenly tribulations, the first time was when he was at the third star, when he cultivated the method of humanization to the fullest, and he could not retain any traces of the snake at all in his human form; Another time was when he guarded the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in the world of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", rescued countless people who fell into the water, completed the great cause of virtue, and was promoted to four stars.
"The Heavenly Tribulation thing, in fact, there are still traces to follow." Tribulation expert White Water Snake Jun rarely got a chance to show his knowledge in front of the master, and he looked triumphant, and his face, which was too white for a man, seemed to glow, "Generally speaking, the more good things are done, the weaker the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will be. For example, when I crossed the tribulation for the first time, I basically didn't do many good things, but I did a lot of bad things, so the heavenly tribulation was an infinite thunder, and I was killed eight times before and after, and the ninth time I was lucky, I met a high monk passing by, and I made a vow to accumulate 100,000 merits, and he took action to protect me - this is considered to have passed. And by the time I crossed the tribulation for the second time, I had already rescued the people who had fallen into the water on the edge of the Three Gorges, and I had truly accumulated 100,000 merits, but the Heavenly Tribulation only symbolized a few muffled thunders, and they didn't even hit me, but they just blasted the tribulation arrays and the like prepared around me to pieces......
In other words, if you want to make it easier, you need to do more good deeds? Accumulating merit? ”
"Well, that's it, at least as far as I can remember, I haven't heard of an exception."
Cheng Peng frowned and began to think about what good things Yu Chaima had done in his life.
…… Seem...... It seems like...... Maybe...... It has done nothing good......
Then he began to sweat on his forehead.
"What if...... What has not done anything good, but has not done anything bad? ”
So the White Water Snake King also began to wipe his sweat.
Therefore, although everyone was busy guarding Liu Yi in shifts, Cheng Peng had to leave far away and came to a remote place with poor mountains and bad waters, and began to prepare to help Yu chase the horse and cross the robbery.
On the issue of the catastrophe, there are many experiences in the forum for reference, so although it is an unprecedented experience for him, he will not be blinded and at a loss, and he does not know what to do.
He first bought a large amount of pure copper from the Astral Gate Auction House, made it into a set of lightning rods with a combination of rigidity and softness, and also made a round metal cage around the jade chasing horse - lightning rods and Faraday cages are purely scientific means, using science and technology to survive the robbery seems absurd, but practice has proved that it does have a certain effect.
After completing these tasks, he carefully arranged all kinds of materials that he didn't know into a formation that he didn't understand at all, according to Wei Ye's friendship, this formation can weaken the sense of heaven and earth to the things in the formation, and it is a Taoist magic method to avoid the catastrophe.
Of course, Cheng Peng will not put all the hope of the catastrophe on those external objects that he can't understand at all, for him, the most reliable thing is himself after all.
So after doing this, he began to meditate cross-legged, and took out some precious props that he was accustomed to prepare, planning to rely on the help of these props to temporarily raise his strength to five stars, break through the limits of this world, and obtain the power that can resist the catastrophe.
All the preparations took Cheng Peng two days. Adventure 9
In this whole process, everything was done by himself, and he did not ask anyone to "intervene".
It's not that those players don't want to help - in fact, they are very active in wanting to help, in their opinion, Cheng Peng's love horse tribulation is much more important than this dungeon, even if the dungeon fails, it can't let the jade chasing horse tribulation fail!
However, Cheng Peng was reluctant to let them be separated because of this - he was 100% sure that if these players all rushed to help Jade Chasing Horse cross the catastrophe, maybe Jade Chasing Horse would be able to survive the catastrophe, but Liu Yi would definitely be dead.
It is not cost-effective to exchange certain losses for possible hopes.
What's more, Cheng Peng is still quite confident in his own strength.
Although limited to the limitations of the world level, he can only exert the strength of the four-star peak at present, but there are many rare treasures in "The Great Adventure", for example, among the many kinds of special props that can be exchanged for prestige in the bloody battlefield, there are some props that can temporarily break through the limit of the world level, although the price is ridiculously expensive, but Cheng Peng, who killed Yuan Lu Zhi, is now the most important thing is the prestige value, so he has reserves around him.
Not only that, but he also has a lot of other props that can improve his strength, such as some powerful "medicine" and spiritual water, as well as special magic weapons that Liu Xueji helped buy from some seven-star or even eight-star masters in Gensokyo...... Although most of them are 'sexual', as long as the power of these things is fully utilized, I believe that the Heavenly Tribulation is not so difficult to overcome.
After all...... It's just a three-star to four-star catastrophe!
After everything was ready, Cheng Peng took a deep breath and pressed the option of "Tribulation Upgrade" on the mount management panel.
When this option was pressed, the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy.
Cheng Peng was not surprised or worried, he didn't even take out the ice and snow spear, just stood on the flat ground a few steps away from the metal cage, quietly staring at the sky.
Moments later, the storm surged.
Countless black and white gases collided fiercely in the air, turning into golden-colored thunder and lightning, surging in the black and white clouds, as if countless prehistoric beasts were roaring.
Cheng Peng frowned slightly, this kind of development was not in the situation he saw!
After another moment, the thunder and lightning finally fell.
Those high lightning rods played their role first, and the unstoppable thunder fell with a bang, but before it could slash into the jade chasing horse, it turned a corner, and was sucked by the lightning rod, and the electric light intertwined with blue and white "color" and gold "color" flowed down the metal rod of pure copper, seeped into the ground, and disappeared without a trace.
As stated on the forum, the effect of the lightning rod is still obvious.
But Cheng Peng didn't mean to be happy at all.
Because he knows that the lightning rod has a fatal heel.
After a few minutes, starting with the thinnest metal pole, the tall metal rod turned red one by one, and then gradually fell.
"In order to reduce the resistance, it is necessary to use a metal with higher purity, but metals with higher purity are generally softer, especially after heating, and the hardness is even lower. Strong currents generate a lot of heat when they pass through, so they melt quickly. There is currently no solution to this problem. That's what the master who proposed the lightning rod on the forum said.
As he put it, the lightning rods quickly melted and fell to the ground one by one. Adventure 9
Without the influence of the lightning rod, the thunder fell mercilessly, but hit the metal cage. I saw that the electric light was shooting, and the entire cage seemed to be glowing, but the jade chasing horse standing in the middle was unscathed.
This is the famous "Faraday cage" effect in physics - the current will pass through objects with low resistance first, so once a person is in a metal cage with low resistance compared to the human body, they are not susceptible to electric shock.
Unfortunately, Faraday cages have the same drawbacks as lightning rods.
After a few more minutes, the Faraday cage also began to melt and deform.
At this time, countless white lights rose up on the ground, protecting the jade chasing horse in the middle.
Strange to say, as soon as these white lights lit up, the originally fierce heavenly thunder suddenly weakened.
Cheng Peng's heart was secretly relieved.
(It seems that Wei Ye's method is still very effective)
But in fact, he really underestimated the catastrophe!
About half an hour later, the power of the formation was exhausted, but the Heavenly Tribulation was still there!
So he finally had to go into battle on his own and use all kinds of means to fight against the endless stream of heavenly thunder.
However, to his surprise, when he rushed into the sky to try to fight the Heavenly Tribulation, the black clouds suddenly dispersed, turning into countless lightning bolts, blasting towards the Jade Chasing Horse from all directions.
In an instant, Cheng Peng understood.
(This is the final blow!) )
Without even thinking about it, he raised his speed to the limit and chased after the thunder.
Gun shadows, white light, vindictive spirit.
When Cheng Peng tried his best to disperse more than ninety percent of the thunder and lightning, there was finally a lightning light in front of Yu Chasema.
But what really stunned him was the scene that happened - the thunder and lightning fell on the jade chasing horse, only to make it smoke all over its body and tremble constantly, but it did not kill it.
Not only that, but the dark clouds in the sky began to disperse......
It took a long time for Cheng Peng to remember that Jade Chasing Horse had actually done good things!
When he returned to the dark world, returned to the first act from the second act, completed those tasks, and obtained two skill points, almost all the demons and monsters along the way were eliminated by Jade Chasing Horse.
Although these things seem to him not to be worth mentioning, but Providence (to put it bluntly, the system uncle) is selfless, and there will be absolutely nothing missing, since the jade chasing horse has eliminated a lot of demons, it is indirectly saved a lot of people, in this case, more or less it can be regarded as accumulating some merits, although the number may not be so much, but in any case, it is always biased towards the category of doing good deeds and accumulating virtues. The original intention of the Heavenly Tribulation is to punish evil and promote good, so naturally it will not stubbornly have to bombard this war beast with some merits, even if it is nine deaths and a lifetime, it will leave a glimmer of life.
And Cheng Peng's efforts are to seize this line of vitality for it!
