Chapter 267 - Temple of Kepicro (1)
The temple of Kepiclo is the only temple of a pseudo-god that the player has found temporarily. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info the so-called pseudo-god is a temple built by this Kepicoro in the name of the god in the past melee, relying on the strength of a priest of the eighth order. The fact is that the temple was neither blessed nor protected by any gods, but in those chaotic times, Kepiclos relied on such a forged temple to rise.
Absorbing beliefs for unknown reasons and eventually becoming a pseudo-demigod. The so-called pseudo-demigod is that his strength may have the power of a demigod, but his life strength is not as good as that of a demigod, and he can't even compare to a high-level legend. Especially the most important Divine Fire Core of the demigods, the pseudo-demigods have almost no divine fire to speak of. Without divine fire, there is naturally no way to truly become a god, so at the end of the last epoch, when the gods melee ended, the false god of Kepiclo was directly destroyed by the gods. At the same time, the temple was also completely leveled by the falling divine punishment, so when Chen Kai and the others came to this so-called temple copy, it was not actually on the ground, but underground.
It is precisely because it is hidden deep beneath the ground that the temple has survived thousands of years. Of course, its inhabitants have changed from false priests to stenching dead creatures and cursed spirits. Of course, in addition to these, the most terrifying in the entire temple belonged to those who did not know that it was the Astral Devourer who broke through the astral plane when Kepicro fled to the lower abyss.
This species, which does not belong to the human realm itself, is greatly suppressed by their surroundings, and even their devouring ability that would have caused the gods to flee in fear has been weakened to a kind of Cheng dù that makes them themselves depressed. In addition to being enclosed in an underground temple for nearly a thousand years, by the time the player saw these void creatures, they had all weakened to the level of less than 4th order.
But it was this level of less than the fourth order that made all players who saw the Void creatures for the first time suffer a big loss, because they could never have imagined that a wandering creature that looked like an animal ghost could be so terrifying. Nearly 9 out of 10 players who encounter Void creatures give experience to each other. Therefore, the most terrifying monsters in the Temple of Kepiclos are not the high-level dead creatures that stay in the temple's main hall, but these void creatures that wander in various areas.
Of course, the most frustrating thing for the player is that the entire temple is a quest copy, or that he doesn't know where the quest is accessed. Therefore, the number of people who can enter the dungeon is very limited, otherwise those big guilds would have used the crowd tactics to push the entire temple a long time ago, where would there be a few void creatures to be arrogant inside. After all, no matter how powerful those void creatures were, they were all monsters that had weakened to the point that they only had fourth-order strength left, and their longest vitality was only 40,000 and they were not yet free from injury. The resistance to damage caused by spell energy is not high, and even for damage caused by witchcraft, it is particularly sensitive or restrained by witchcraft.
It's just that at this stage, the spells of player wizards are very limited, and not every player wizard has the opportunity to learn high-power witchcraft. Of course, He Liwen belongs to another category, she has spell books but is not happy to learn, and does not plan to learn more aggressive black witchcraft, but is very interested in white witchcraft and divination. It's a pity that He Liwen's occupancy technique failed nine times out of ten, which is similar to her achievements in college. Of course, the divination technique in school is used to play, and the divination in the game is supported by a system, which can be used to divinate everyone's luck and various strange phenomena.
Of course, with He Liwen's current ability, her divination skills can at most divinate some very simple things, and they are still very inaccurate. Therefore, He Liwen wants to use divination to avoid evil, or even search for treasures, but it is impossible for the time being. But even so, when Chen Kai and the others stood at the entrance of the temple and were about to enter the temple, He Liwen still babbled to do a divination with her inaccurate divination technique. The tools for divination are very simple, a pair of astrological tarot cards purchased for thirty gold coins from a small vendor, and a spell mask used to place tarot cards. In fact, the most valuable of the two tools is not the tarot card but the mask, which is the main tool that carries the magic of divination, and only through guò can it turn over the tarot card.
This is the difference between tarot card divination in the game and divination in reality, where you rely on your own luck, while in the game you are the rules of the system. Of course, this rule also has a lot to do with the player's own character, after all, character will play a great role in both reality and games. Therefore, divination is sometimes also a spell to compare people's character, of course, it is the character of the divination object rather than the character of the diviner.
At this moment, He Liwen's divination object is Chen Kai, after all, the captain of their team is Chen Kai, if Chen Kai's character is not good, he will definitely be unlucky with others. However, it seems that Chen Kai's character is very good today, and when his palm touches the divination cloth, the first tarot card will automatically flip up. When this tarot card is still covered, the back of it is a four-pointed star. According to the vendor who sold the Tarot cards to Ho Liwen, the number of stars in the even number is a lucky card, and the odd number is a bad luck card.
Therefore, when the card was flipped, He Liwen felt that Chen Kai's luck must be good today, because that card was a four-pointed star lucky card. After the tarot cards are reversed, the surface of the tarot cards, which was originally empty, begins to emit a faint light, and then a golden treasure chest appears on the tarot cards. "Encaibao, it seems that we will make a small fortune this time" Seeing the image of the treasure, Fei Yun's lowered head slowly lifted up, but he obviously didn't care so much when he said this.
Because according to He Liwen's divination technique, most of the treasures she can divinate are silver coins, and more often than not, they are a wisp of air. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the tarot card, which was supposed to only reverse one card, turned out to be a second card again. You must know that according to He Liwen's level of divination, she can only divinate one card after shuffling the cards at most, and if you want to divinate two cards in a card, you must make the level of divination reach the mastery of this episode.
But until now, He Liwen's divination skills have only been rough, and the experience points can only reach half of the entire experience slot. Therefore, this sudden reversal of the second card even He Liwen was at a loss, and what made her face even more pale was that the card was a seven-star bad luck card. The graphic that appears on the board is a hideous demonic imp holding up a fork in his hand and laughing. "Boss, why don't we change places, I remember that there is a copy about thirty kilometers away from here, and the things I heard about there are good, and there will be high-level spell materials" Wang Xuewen couldn't help but wipe his head when he looked at the bad luck card, because he felt that this thing was too evil.
In his opinion, the only one of He Liwen's ten nine inaccurate should be on this bad luck card, so Wang Xuewen thinks it is better to avoid it, after all, divination is originally a witchcraft that seeks good fortune and avoids evil. "What's wrong with Yo Wentou?" Huang Dao squatted on the ground and looked at Wang Xuewen, of course, there was nothing bad in his eyes, but a mocking look. After all, Huang Dao was already familiar with Chen Kai and them at this moment, and he liked to study spell-casting techniques, so he had a very good relationship with Xu Fei and several other mages. "You're just cowardly, as soon as you look on the ground, you know that you're ready to run away" Wang Xuewen naturally wouldn't admit that he was cowardly, so he pretended to be calm and said, and also retorted to the zodiac.
"Okay, if you have time to talk about it, it's better to prepare for me, and see how calm the blood brother is" Su Xinghe pointed to Xuehaifeng and said, at this moment he was slowly sharpening his heavy sword. Although the epee does not need to be bladed in many cases, after all, the sharpness value of the weapon in the game is fixed, and even if it is sharpened, it will still become dull after a while of slashing, and it will hurt the weapon itself. As a result, after a period of familiarity, players will no longer try to sharpen their weapons with whetstones. Of course, this certainly does not include the heavy sword, after all, the heavy sword is the only weapon that needs to be constantly sharpened, although the heavy sword mostly relies on weight to suppress the opponent, but sometimes the sharp blade will also provide some help in battle.
"Ah~ What did you say?" Xuehaifeng raised his head in a daze, obviously he hadn't heard what happened to Chen Kai and them just now. "It's okay, let's go in" Chen Kai slowly stood up from in front of He Liwen, he packed up his things and walked directly towards the entrance of the dark temple. However, before him, Chen Kai still had to bypass the large potholes, after all, this temple was built in a hidden abandoned mine, if it weren't for the player miners who really had no place to mine, they wouldn't have dug this temple out after digging a few caves.
"Let's go, let's hurry up and pack up your things, be careful that others treat you as a fortune teller" Su Wan also began to come over and urge a few girls at this moment, after all, a month of lazy life has made these girls lazy all over. If Su Wan hadn't called them up regularly every morning to run, it is estimated that their body value would have dropped by dozens of points. Of course, these little girls can't be said to be idle, at least they study spells or skills late every day, so they often don't get enough sleep when they are woken up. After a period of scramble, the originally bustling entrance of the temple soon lost a group of people, because Chen Kai and the others, along with Huang Dao and Xuehaifeng, had already stepped into the temple. Of course, this is too much less than the maximum number of people stationed in the temple at one time, 36 people, after all, Chen Kai and the others don't have so much time to find teammates who are compatible, and they don't have the kind of leisure time to find them.
However, in Chen Kai's opinion, a temple that has already been explored half of the area is definitely not dangerous, as long as their luck is not too bad, they can naturally find some good things in it when they encounter some void creatures. After all, their purpose is just to practice here and gain some experience by the way. They had no plans to explore the path for other guilds, of course, if they were lucky enough to find some treasures inside, Chen Kai would still be more than happy to accept them. Although generally speaking, there is no such thing as treasure in quest dungeons, especially since this temple has been sealed for thousands of years, and even if there is treasure, it will definitely decay into a mess.
After passing through a layer of pitch-black curtain that emitted a faint halo, Chen Kai and the others officially stepped into this dusty temple. Since the temple is still in the quest quest stage, it will still be the same no matter how many waves of players come, as if it had just been dug out of the ground by miners who had been dormant for thousands of years. The air was filled with the smell of decay, as if the rotting corpses that had accumulated for years were stenching. In fact, it is true, don't you know that the largest number of dead creatures in the entire temple are those who have died for thousands of years?
These priests and guardians of the original temples have accumulated a lot of evil power because of their belief in the false god of Kepiclo, especially after being cursed by the gods, the power in the bodies of the members of these temples is directly converted into death energy. This causes these defenders to become dead creatures shortly after death, and strengthens their bodies with the residual energy in their bodies, making them immortal for thousands of years. Therefore, even after thousands of years, the guardians of these temples still guard the temple as always, blocking outsiders who try to enter the temple.
This naturally includes Chen Kai and his gang, but Chen Kai, who has been fighting with dead creatures for a long time, is very aware of the weaknesses of dead creatures, and these moving bone frames are the best treasure trove of experience in their opinion. After all, excluding the invulnerability of the bone frame, the fragile soul fire is simply their dead end. No matter how powerful a dead creature is, as long as the soul fire is shattered, there will be no scum left.
Well, of course, if there is really no scum left, Chen Kai will definitely not be happy, because that means that they have beaten a monster and have not even made any gains, and the loss of money is not something that anyone is willing to do. However, even if there is something left behind after the death of these dead creatures, it is estimated that it is all scrap copper and rotten iron, such as the set of armor in front of Chen Kai that has just been taken off the body of a dead skeleton. Originally, this set of armor was worn in a very powerful and robust place, and the whole body exuded a strong aura of death
On the bones. When Chen Kai and the others saw each other roughly, they thought it was the skeleton knight of Adogli who appeared in the temple, because the eyes between them were too similar. But the similarity of eyes does not mean that the abilities are similar, thinking that the skeleton knight of Adoge almost ran around like a dog like Chen Kai. But this skeleton soldier didn't even block Chen Kai's several attacks, and was chopped off by the soul fire under his skull.
"***!After a long time of trouble, it turned out to be a parallel import, and the harmful Lao Tzu almost turned around and ran away in fright" Fei Yun used the mantis knife to open the head of the skeleton soldier who hung up, and the helmet that originally protected its head was directly shattered in half after being slashed by the heavy sword of the Blood Sea Peak, and then its head was smashed by Zhao Tiezhu with a new shield and immediately shattered. Now only a third of the original head remains, which is the part of the mandible. "It shouldn't be a parallel import, this thing seems to have been beaten before it met us" Chen Kai carefully checked the armor, there seemed to be some new scars on the surface of the armor, but these scars were not particularly obvious.
"What? Isn't this a quest copy? How could there still be anyone? Everyone felt very strange when they heard Chen Kai's point of view, but after carefully observing the place Chen Kai was pointing to, they felt that what he said made a lot of sense. After all, those dents are not carved by time, but by the impact of something. At the same time, there were also many impact marks on the bones of the skeleton, which were obviously not caused by Chen Kai when they beat it.
"Boss, I don't think this is like a human doing, because the marks in this place look like human finger prints, but they are very similar to paw prints" Fei Yun lowered his head and carefully observed the broken armor with a magnifying glass, and soon found that there was something special about those marks. "Well, I think what the fourth said must be right, because that thing has already come over, it's a void creature" Su Xinghe coughed lightly, interrupting Chen Kai's research process, and then pointed to the monster that slowly floated out of the corner not far away. "It turns out that this is a void creature" For Chen Kai, it is the first time for them to come into contact with a void creature, and this kind of scene is far more impressive than the player's portrayal with pictures.
In fact, none of the Void creatures the player has seen are identical, although they all have a common feature of numerous blue tentacles. These tentacles are not only their tools for catching food, but also their tools for absorbing energy, and many players are caught by these tentacles and suck up their life force and die. What appeared in front of Chen Kai and them at this moment was a void creature, but it was not floating in the air like the pictures uploaded by those players, but walking on the ground step by step. Its blue, gloomy body was a tiger-like creature, but it had more than a dozen fluttering tentacles than the tiger, and these tentacles were the culprits that left marks on the skeleton soldiers.
"Boss, it seems that our luck today is really not very good," Wang Xuewen looked at the void creature and said slowly, but although the void creature is notorious, Chen Kai and they are not the kind of cowards who will turn around and run away in fear when they hear the name. Although I don't know what the strength of the other party is, no matter how I say it, the level of that void creature will not be higher than the fifth order, that is to say, it will not be much higher than Chen Kai's level. Therefore, several people decisively drew their weapons, preparing to deal with the attack of the void creature, and all the casters immediately rushed behind the warrior.
As for Zhao Tiezhu, who was at the front, he directly raised his suit shield, and with a burst of earthy yellow light, his body was covered with a layer of crystal yellow light. That's what the defensive spell attached to the armor looks like, which means that Zhao Tiezhu has activated the set's earth armor. It's just that it seems that the void creature was a little dazed when it saw Chen Kai and so many of them, and instead of attacking directly, he stood there in a daze.
But its tentacles, which constantly exuded an evil aura, showed the hostility of the other party, and more than a dozen tentacles flew up and down like flying ropes, and some of them even had mouths on them, constantly opening and converging to let out disgusting saliva. "Huh~ This guy is so disgusting" Everyone's impression of the void creature plummeted by nearly fifty percent the moment they saw those salivation, but among them, Zhao Tiezhu's face was the worst, who made him the main MT, which is a meat shield specially used to carry monsters. So no matter how disgusting the other party is, the first person to contact those tentacles must be Zhao Tiezhu.
