Chapter 67: The Secret Realm of Ragnarok

"Twilight of the gods, I have seen a biographical work, saying that the creator god was dissatisfied with the gods' wanton cruelty to mortals, and arranged a disaster, so that the gods fell in the disaster, and there is also a saying that the gods were divided into two factions, quarreling with each other, and then fighting each other on a battlefield until all died, and this battlefield also became the last grave of the gods, and the war of the gods was called 'Twilight of the gods'." Chen Ye said that when he learned that the inner world might be a place for magical creatures and gods, he deliberately paid attention to the books on the shelves of his office, and he believed that he could not arrange so many books there for no reason, there must be some clues that would be helpful to the mission.

"You have turned back into a woman, and you have not sensed the attention of Jörmungård here, which means that Ragnarok is already a magical forbidden place, and the strong magic repulsion has even affected the surface world from here, and it will not be long before this base point will affect the entire inner world." Chen Ye said, he used the "Demon Fire" again, but this time there was no flame.

Catelyn looked around, "I just want to know how to get back, I don't want to stay in this hellish place." ”

Chen Ye squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, there was a layer of gray black shadow in the extreme eye, I couldn't tell what was going on there, but the corpses were piled up more densely, on the contrary, from behind, there was a black and red patch, as if the end of the world was coming, there was no other substance in the whole world, it was empty and terrible.

Won't let us enter the inner world for no reason.,The main quest is to kill the four evil gods.,Under normal circumstances,No one can do it.,The four evil gods are not completely in the surface world.,But hiding in the gap between the surface world and the inner world.,The inner world is over.,Magical creatures can't survive in this magical apocalyptic environment anymore.,With the spread of "forbidden demons", magical creatures are like draining blood, and eventually they will die because of physical failure, so the purpose of the main line one is ...... Could it be that I am looking for an opportunity to kill the four evil gods?

Chen Ye analyzed the information he could have so far, and the more he thought about it, the more he responded, "Do you remember the magic hole we found that night in Lunt City? ”

Katrin nodded, and Chen Ye continued: "It's very simple to go back, but it's also very difficult, after the power of mortal faith is projected into the inner world through the spatial transition, it's like the most delicious food, so that the magical creatures of the inner world are greedy for food, but the only ones who can really enjoy it are those powerful gods, I have observed at the ruins of the temple in the surface world, and the gaze of the gods still exists." ”

"Existence? But it's a scorched earth, and it doesn't look like there's any living thing! Katrin was skeptical.

Chen Ye shook his head and explained: "It's like picking the fruit when the time is up, no one will always stand on the edge of the tree and wait for the fruit to ripen before picking, it's too wasteful, the so-called divine gaze should be a kind of gathering point in response to the temple offerings, according to the hair, nails, or whatever it may be the gods, as long as it is worn on the body, it is enough, so that the thing still exists, which leads to the feeling of being watched." ”

Catherin immediately understood, "You're saying we're going to find that thing and destroy it, so that we can also build a magical void and return to the surface world from this side of the inner world, right?" ”

Chen Ye nodded and said: "Almost, Ragnarok is a divine war, which eventually causes the entire inner world to turn into scorched earth, but it does not mean that there is no danger, just like a scarecrow will be tied to disperse the birds and finches that steal food, those things of faith must also have similar protection, we need to be especially careful...... I don't know how long that will take, but before that happens, we may need to get some food and fresh water. ”

"Can there be food in this place? You don't want us to eat these corpses, do you? Katrin asked, feeling a wave of disgust.

"What happened to the body? Aren't the pork and beef you eat the carcasses of animals, and in front of these ancient gods, we are no different from those animals, do you think they have not eaten us? Now what is wrong with eating them in reverse...... Of course, it is not to eat everything, for us mortals, the flesh and blood of these magical creatures are more like poison, and it is impossible to swallow them directly. Chen Ye said, and then took out a prop, which was the "tail fin of the revenant fish".

This blue prop, Chen Ye tried it on the ocean of the watch world, but there was no response, he thought that it was possible that he needed a special environment, came to the periphery of the battlefield of "Ragnarok", felt the overwhelming magic, but was rejected from the inside out, this wonderful feeling, made him realize that it is very likely that the use of this prop is a condition that requires a concentration of "magic".

The tail fin of the revenant fish began to swing in the air, as if swimming between the thick magic, it did not use magic, but swam the magic as if it were seawater, this is not even a kind of magic, Chen Ye and Katrin followed the tail fin of the revenant fish to the outer direction, here is black and red everywhere, there is nothing else to see except the corpses, but after withdrawing from the outer battlefield a little, gradually found trees and stones, although scattered in pieces, it seems to be an oasis in the desert, But there are still some.

Chen Ye and Catelyn walked like this for 1 hour, and then the tail fin of the revenant fish stopped, and then it began to circle around a big black stone, Chen Ye and Catrin glanced at each other, rolled up their sleeves and pushed the stone directly, and the tail fin of the revenant fish drilled under the stone, and then something strange happened, a basketball-sized puddle appeared in its original position, and the blue sea water dangled in the puddle.

"Sea water!" Catelyn shouted excitedly, and then a strange-looking fish jumped out of the puddle and landed directly on the ground "crackling" with its tail, seeing Catherin approaching, she let out a baby-like cry, which sounded very sad, but not long after, it lost its life because of the special environment here.

[Revenant Fish: An ordinary creature in the wizarding world, named for its special cry that resembles the cry of a revenant, but its flesh is delicious, and it likes to devour the hair of human women and the spiral aquatic plants in the magical ocean; Quality blue; Ingredients】

When Chen Ye picked up the fish, he got such a hint, touched his chin and said: "It seems that the food has been found, and I don't know how long this puddle can last, you go and call Manerha and them over, we will temporarily use this place as a camping point, and try to stock up on more food here." ”

"Can you make this puddle bigger and we'll go straight back from here?" Katrin asked, she seemed to particularly dislike the environment.

Chen Ye shook his head and said: "What is opened here is only the world mezzanine, and it does not completely belong to our original solution, and it should be an environment that adapts to the life of magical creatures in the free world, even if we go out, we may also face the embarrassment of falling into the mezzanine, and there will not even be a foothold at that time, it may be even more difficult, besides, you don't know how many meters under the sea are here, what if you are squeezed to death by the pressure of the sea water as soon as you enter?" It's more reliable to go out with the Thunderlight, but it's not all good, at least I know that this is a weak point in the world space, and there are no powerful magical creatures in it, otherwise, there won't be so many weak revenant fish, and if we go back and get the things of faith, we can open the magic hole from here and go back, at least it's much safer. ”

Katrin thought about it, so she took the initiative to run back, Chen Ye was cleaning up the materials in the Sumeru space, and at the same time clearing a flat land next to the puddle, since the blue ingredients can be obtained here, he plans to make some food supplies, and now there is no time-limited task, even if it delays some time, it doesn't matter, the next opportunity to get the ingredients normally, I don't know when.

The Revenant Fish looks ugly, with a green viscous body surface like a frog, and the back is connected to the head and there is a hard back armor, Chen Ye tested it, the toughness is about 40 points, and the bloodthirsty person is only barely piercing, but its flesh is indeed delicious, unlike the flesh and blood of ordinary magical creatures that cannot be swallowed, but the green blood looks a little unhealthy, this food should have a certain toxicity, but it can be dispelled through high temperature treatment.

[Delicious fish soup: quality blue; The workmanship is rough, but it retains nutrients well and can quickly replenish the protein needed by the human body; Recover 40% of your HP in 1 minute, and gain +1 Perception for 2 hours.

This kind of supply can only be said to be pretty good, but it is not the kind that Chen Ye wants, in the absence of recipes, using attribute ingredients to cook, often carries part of the effect of the ingredients themselves, but through his own cooking skills, this effect may also be changed, Chen Ye is now trying to find out what way to cook food that can increase the upper limit of physical strength.

"It's really strange that this magical creature likes to eat women's hair? It's no wonder that magical creatures are called demons, and they don't sound very comfortable. Chen Ye chattered, there are also prepared fishing tackle in the Sumeru space, but he did not use ordinary bait, but tied a few hairs on Catlin's head and tied it to the hook, his perception is very high, and the "heart eye" effect is assisted, after drinking the fish soup, he can clearly feel the slight touch on the fishing hook, in 2 hours, he caught 19 revenant fish, without exception, after he removed the back armor, processed into ordinary ingredients, so far in the second meritorious task, the "back armor of the revenant fish" needed is collected.

Chen Ye is very glad that he still has a special prop here, such as "the tail fin of the revenant fish", although it is only a blue prop, but depending on when to use it, here they have no way to go and no way back, if they don't have this prop, they can't even do basic supplies, it is likely that they really want to gnaw on those corpses, but tens of thousands of years have not eroded the corpses, Chen Ye does not think that they can really "eat" it.

Soon, Katrin came here with Manha and other 7 people carrying the supplies that could still be found on the Thunderlight, Chen Ye ordered 2 sailors to come and continue fishing, and arranged for Manerha and 4 other sailors to go to the nearby to cut down trees, and to build a place to live as quickly as possible.

Chen Ye himself took the cooking utensils and began to stir up the ingredients of the revenant fish, while Katrin and one of the remaining sailors picked up buckets of seawater from the puddle, this kind of seawater cannot be directly drunk, but can be processed into fresh water and sea salt after mechanical processing, this emergency freshwater treatment tool is necessary for every steamship, that is to say, since the development of steam technology, the problem of freshwater is no longer an important factor that plagues sea navigation.

Catelyn resealed the buckets of seawater, then put a steam machine like a water pipe in the opening, put a standard power core in the fist-sized steam box at the top, and then turned on the machine, the metal pipe began to heat up, and there was an outlet at the top down, just above the barrel, Catelyn found a basin and put it under the outlet, and after a while, there were drops of fresh water falling into the basin.

Another sailor checked the tightness of the barrel, and when he found the place where the steam was leaking, he tore a cloth from his clothes to plug it, and then strictly controlled the distillation time, this kind of machinery needs to be stopped every 5 minutes to cool down, otherwise it is easy to cause the instability of the steam box, although it is not particularly convenient to use, but at least it solves the need for fresh water in difficult times.

At this time, people's hearts quickly settled down, at least Chen Ye, the first mate, was still actively thinking of a way, and now he has solved the imminent life problem, and has a preliminary plan for leaving here, Katrin did a good job of a microphone, until a few hours later, when Manha brought people back to carry the wood, and then used tools to process it and build a simple cabin, Chen Ye stopped cooking.

Chen Ye distributed all the food supplies that he didn't need for everyone to eat, and no one would say that the food with a taste of at least 50 points was unpalatable, and everyone cherished it when he enjoyed the rare food when he was almost desperate.

【Teppanyaki Fish Grill: Green quality; Max HP permanently +20]

When Chen Ye made this food, his eyes lit up, he had seen the props with green quality increasing real attributes, and knew that green quality had a chance to increase the attributes of the characters, but he had never found the trick, and now it seems that in addition to the correct recipe, the ingredients themselves must have a certain amount of "magic".

The 2 sailors who have been fishing have a richer harvest than Chen Ye, originally Chen Ye did not have the sub-skills related to fishing, and these 2 sailors are obviously very experienced in sea fishing, Chen Ye began to make "teppanyaki" non-stop, as long as he found a way, it will naturally increase efficiency, he is like a food processing factory, a piece of food is made by him, but the blue quality ingredients to be made into green quality food, the probability is still relatively small, Chen Ye can successfully make 1 ~ in almost 10 servings2 copies, a day passed, increasing the upper limit of 100 points.

"When are you going to go and look for something of faith?" Katrin asked, she didn't know that Chen Ye was trying to complete the achievement task, impacting the "proficient" level "shooting" sub-skill, and thought that Chen Ye was worried about what would happen in the future.

"It's going to take a while...... You get some more hair down, add 1 more sailor to fish, and I'll set off when I have enough reserves. Chen Ye was not in a hurry at all.

The next day, Chen Ye got 7 servings of "Teppanyaki", and unexpectedly got a "grilled yusheng".

【Grilled sashimi: quality blue; Increases maximum HP by 200 for 1 hour. 】

There will only be one buff effect of the same food at most, so there is no such thing as eating a few more servings of "grilled yusheng" to complete the "physical superman" achievement, but it also narrowed Chen Ye's goal, and by the end of the third day, Chen Ye's physical strength limit reached 1560 points, and Manerha's 2 cabins were also built, one of which was for Katrin and Chen Ye to rest alone, and the other 4 people could rest if they were squeezed, but the camp should have 4~6 people awake at any time, if everyone changes shifts, These infrastructures are sufficient.

On the fourth day, everyone ate fish a little greasy, and began to eat the materials on the Thunderlight to adjust the state, but Chen Ye still insisted, although he also wanted to vomit after eating, but at the end of the day, he hit the upper limit of his physical strength to 1720 points, and successfully completed the achievement of "Junior Chef", and obtained 1 "Proficiency Skill Scroll", he did not hesitate to use the scroll on the "Proficiency Flash", making it reach the A level.

Chen Ye persisted for another half a day, plus the consumption of "Grilled Yusheng", and finally completed the achievement of "Physical Superman", and once again obtained 1 "Proficiency Skill Scroll", if he continued to use it, he would be able to make the proficient flash reach the MAX level, and then use the "Mastery Skill Scroll" to obtain the second "proficient" level sub-skill, Chen Ye thought about it, but still stopped this thought, although the 10W point proficiency is a bit exaggerated, but Chen Ye is not impossible to complete, he doesn't know how long he will stay in this world, It's a bit of a waste to waste a "Proficiency Skill Scroll" that is almost equivalent to the value of a silver prop, and his "dual wielding" skill has always been an introductory F-level, which was originally his highest quality sub-skill, especially in the case of dual guns, Chen Ye hopes that this sub-skill can also reach "mastery" as soon as possible, so since he can complete the MAX level by hard practice, there is no need to waste the "Proficiency Skill Scroll".

Seeing that the supplies accumulated in the camp were enough for a week, Chen Ye estimated that this puddle could be left for a maximum of 2 days, and it had shrunk a little since today, so he made the final arrangements and said: "Manha, you continue to get supplies from here until there is no way to get them, and then go to the vicinity to cut some logs, drag the Thunder Light here, and if the load is too large, dismantle the Thunder Light and transport it in batches." ”
