Chapter 729: The Supreme Ring
In the dark and quiet valley, there is no light all year round.
It is damp and dirty, because of the mildew over the years, there is also a faint poisonous miasma in the air, and after smelling for a long time, it will also produce a kind of damp rot poison in the body, and it is painful.
For thousands of years, the valley has been filled with occasional visitors, but no one has stopped, not even the most unhygienic cave orcs.
The only creature in the valley is a bone spur fish in a cold pool deep in the belly of the mountain.
The name of the bone spur fish is He Xie, because this gray fish has a thin layer of skin and flesh, and the rest is all huge bone spurs, which are ugly, have little meat, and are fishy and smelly......
He Xie has been hovering in this dark valley for more than a month.
This is Middle-earth!
It is worth mentioning that this world is not chosen by any evil, but crossed randomly.
Not only this is the case in this world, but He Xie intends that all the worlds in the future will be randomly traversed.
Because He Xie has temporarily closed the channel of communication between him and the system, for a long time from now on, the system will be just a tool for He Xie to simply shuttle through the heavens and all worlds.
He will not deliberately earn the power in the future, but act recklessly in each world, and it is foreseeable that the amount of energy he earns in the future will be greatly reduced.
As for the energy he earned, he will only use it for the cost of traveling through the world in the future, and he will not go to the system mall to buy anything, even if it is an auxiliary prop, so it is definitely enough.
Of course, the storage bag and the contents that have been exchanged before, He Xie will definitely not overkill them for the sake of independence and discard them, firstly, there is no need for this, and secondly, many of the things in it are equipment that he has made out by himself, and it has nothing to do with the system.
He Xie is very glad that he has always been vigilant about the system, and he is also glad that he was in that consciousness pit at the beginning, and the skills produced by the system were all one-time props.
If he had relied entirely on the system to improve his strength before, it was conceivable that his current strength would definitely be much, much higher than now, and he might even become an immortal.
With the existence of a system, of course, he will not encounter any bottlenecks, and he will not be aware of his lack of mood, he will only continue to improve like a rocket all the way, and then in the end, he may become a leek of any existence.
It's definitely a very possibility!
It was precisely because he relied purely on himself in his cultivation that he encountered a bottleneck and realized that his state of mind was lacking, so that he had the process of "turning into a mortal" in the last world and understood what his problems were.
But his cultivation was largely improved by the sword going sideways.
The first swordsmanship to ward off evil spirits, to the later reorganization of the body in the dragon hunt, and then to the use of a combination of technology and internal force in the later Chinatown detective to forcibly instill a hundred years of skill, every major improvement in his strength, although he did not rely on the system, but in fact, he was also hanging.
This situation was not improved until the Tianlong World, when he finally sorted out his own martial arts and created the foundation building skill, which was regarded as one step at a time, so his own problems and hidden dangers were also exposed.
The state of mind is one thing, and the essence and spirit only focus on nourishing the essence and storing the qi, but there has been no way to contain the spirit, which is the second aspect, which is the problem that He Xie needs to solve urgently.
Therefore, in order to make up for his mood defects, He Xie almost completely abandoned the system; And for the sake of "Yunshen", He Xie stayed in this dark valley, walking alone, looking for it all day long.
He's looking for someone, looking for something.
In his opinion, the same thing that can exercise his spirit and will - the One Ring!
After coming to this world, he directly set the landing coordinates near the cave fairy kingdom in the misty mountains of Middle-earth, because he knew that it would not be long before the protagonist Bilbo Baggins would come here with the thirteen dwarfs and Gandalf, and then accidentally meet Gollum and get the One Ring from this little monster.
The background of the One Ring will not be repeated, in short, this ring is a ring forged by the Great Demon King Sauron to rule the world.
In order to cast this ring, Sauron injected most of his own power into it, and the ring contained Sauron's mana and will, so this ring was set up as "Sauron's exclusive", and it was obtained by others, which only harmed but did no benefit.
Those who wear this ring will unknowingly be affected by the ring's mind, distort their spirit and body, and eventually be completely assimilated by Sauron's power and will, and become Sauron's nourishment.
And the more powerful the person, the more difficult it is to resist its power.
The most pitiful thing is that Sauron can also use this Supreme Ring to recover the wearer's assimilated power after being assimilated by the ring, and this ring also has its own will, will try its best to return to Sauron, and will also force the holder to find Sauron or Sauron's subordinates, and even if it is not satisfied with the wearer, it will break away on its own, or the pit wearer will die.
He Xie actually didn't have much confidence in resisting the corrosion of the Supreme Ring, after all, Sauron was the most powerful demigod in this world, especially his strength was not weak, and it was relatively difficult to resist the power of the Ring.
But he had a hard head, and he wanted to try.
No, no more......
Of course, although the One Ring has great drawbacks, the benefits are also amazing.
First of all, it can make people invisible, so that people can do something shameful.
Secondly, it prolongs the life of the wearer.
Thirdly, it has the effect of being able to interpret the psychology of others, although it is not always effective.
Finally, it has the ability to dominate the other rings, though it doesn't know how.
In short, He Xie must get the most powerful treasure in this world, even if he can't use it, it's good to collect it.
It's a pity that in the past month or so, he has searched every corner of this valley, and he has not found any trace of Gollum, which made him wonder if he was in the wrong place.
In the past month, He Xie has been walking alone in the dark and damp valley, which is really boring.
Fortunately, in the fairy kingdom in the belly of the mountain above, the extremely ugly, fat and stupid goblin king with a bunch of half-orcs every day with a bunch of half-orcs banging and beating, ghosts howling and singing, only added a little fun to his boring life.
He Xie also tried to catch a half-orc as bait to lure Gollum to appear, but the corpse was full of stinky maggots, and he didn't see Gollum take the bait.
He suspected that the little monster had either not yet arrived, or had already been aware of his existence and was hiding from it.
The former is fine, if the latter is the latter, it means that the stealth ability of the Lord of the Rings is so strong that even he can't perceive it. That's a bit of a hassle.
Later, He Xie simply pretended to leave, but in fact he quietly hid, using the Turtle Breath Gong, and hiding for seven days, motionless, like a stone.
Just when He Xie was about to doubt his life, on this day, suddenly there was a huge uproar from the goblin country above, and not long after, two figures screamed and fell into this valley.
He Xie suddenly perked up, the Lord is here!
