Chapter 187: The Spirit of the Stars, Frightened of the Stinging Snake

['Ring of Starry Light' (Special Equipment)...... With this equip, you will be able to attract the attention of the Shining Stars Oath faction. There's a chance that you'll be summoned by a creature from that Oath faction, or that a creature from the Oath will come directly to you. 】

Lin Xun looked at the props in the inventory and hesitated.

If he is an Apostle of the Oath of the Stars, the 'Ring of Radiance of the Stars' is an artifact that summons friendly elites or bosses.

But for him at the moment, using this special equipment is very likely to summon a boss-level monster, which is not the point.

The point is that it also attracts the attention of the stars.

In case he didn't succeed in summoning the star creatures, but was summoned by the big boss of the star camp, he would definitely be dead.

"To use or not to use, that's a question......"

Lin Xun was hesitating, and suddenly it occurred to him that if using the 'Ring of Radiance of the Stars' was a decision to die, then the 'Almighty True Knowledge' would send the 'Beast of Disordered Knowledge' to correct his mistakes.

"It's good to have a big guy standing behind you, I'll give it a try!"

Click on 'Starlight Ring' and look at the equipment options that pop up.

Lin Xun silently waited for the text to appear.

After a long time, the expected 'Unordered Beast of Knowledge' did not appear.

"So I can equip it directly?"

[You are already wearing the special equipment 'Ring of Starlight Light'!] 】

[The spar set in the ring bursts into dazzling starlight.] 】

[The magnificent galaxy phantom leaped out of the spar, and countless stars twinkled around you. 】

Thou art watched by distant stars...... The gaze is blocked by an unknown force! 】

[Summoning creatures from the 'Bright Stars' Oath faction!] 】

【Summoning......

Lin Xun looked at the constantly beating text, and knew in his heart that at the moment when he was wearing the equipment just now, there was a game between the gods hidden behind it.

Based on the current situation, it is undoubtedly the 'Almighty True Knowledge' behind him who has won.

Lin Xun didn't dare to be careless, so he stayed by the resting pages in the hall.

If the situation is not right, teleport and run away.

【Summoning......

[A glowing green starlight array appeared in the hall, and a strange figure gradually emerged. 】

[The size of the strange figure is not huge, but it is extremely hideous and terrifying. 】

[The black bone plate armor dotted with stars covers the serpentine torso, which is covered with twisted and hideous bone spurs, the sharp forelimbs that resemble a sickle, and the two huge fangs of the outstretched jaw, all speak of the creature's horror and power. 】

[You have discovered the Spirit of the Stars - Terror Stinging Serpent!] 】

[The first time you saw the form of the 'Frightened Stinging Snake', the terrifying form of your bones was terrifying, and you only felt dizzy, and your soul was infused with a disordered knowledge. 】

[You have gained knowledge, and your knowledge has increased by 2500!] Current knowledge: 4601/15200]

According to the previous text, the Spirit of the Stars is supposed to be the legitimate name of the Stars monster.

At the base of the 'Charmara's Tower', he had summoned a stellar creature called the 'Star Horned Rhinoceros Beetle'.

The Straggle Fish Star creature did not bear the name of 'Star Spirit', and from the name, it was inferred that it might be a boss-level monster summoned this time.

Lin Xun took advantage of the fact that the monster in front of him had been summoned, and he quickly operated.

[You are possessed by the body of the 'sunken dancer of the ancient theater!'] 】

[You open a dark eye and take a smart dance step......]

[The hall is full of stars, and your shell skill 'Blood Shadow Dance' is given a bonus to 'Dark Shadows', and the concealment effect is only slightly increased.] 】

"Oops!"

Lin Xun's original plan was to hide his body after summoning the monster.

After the monster can't find the target for a long time, you can't stay where you are and die in the maze, right?

He can remain incognito and secretly follow the monster.

Until you get out of the maze, you can take out the monsters......

However, he ignores the bright light in the Starchaser Corridor, where the bonus to 'Dark Shadows' is greatly reduced.

"You can't see me...... You can't see me......"

Lin Xun could only secretly pray that the monster that was about to be summoned successfully did not have the ability to break the stealth.

【Summoning Success!】 】

[The starlight array disappeared, and the color of the 'Ring of Starlight Light' at the root of your finger was dim......]

[The deformed monster twists its serpentine body, and the two vicious eyes on its head scanned the surroundings.] 】

[The 'Frightened Stinging Serpent' seems to sense something, and it twists its body towards you, its scythe-like forelimbs reflecting cold in the starlight, and sticky saliva dripping from its fangs. 】

[Saliva falls to the ground, sizzling and rising green smoke, and the ground that has not been damaged under your full force is corroded and pitted. 】

[The stars carved on the ground flashed, and then the uneven places were instantly repaired as before. 】

[You are tense and facing the approaching 'Frightened Stinging Snake', do you want to continue to lurk here, or do you take the initiative to attack?] 】

Lin Xun's purpose is not to kill the boss explosive equipment.

The monster in front of him didn't look invincible, at least not the kind of monster that couldn't be defeated at first sight.

If you choose to take the initiative to attack, it is equivalent to blinding this monster that has just been summoned.

In case a summon runs into a super boss, it's hilarious.

Moreover, Lin Xun also noticed that after the successful summoning just now, the text showed [The color of the 'Ring of Radiance of the Stars' at the root of your finger was dim]

He had a bad feeling about this.

[You continue to remain invisible, lurking next to the 'resting page' behind the statue of the stars......]

[As the 'Frightened Stinging Snake' gets closer, you can clearly smell its fishy and pungent scent.] 】

[It twisted in front of the statue of the gods, and lowered its upright upper body, making a constant 'hissing' sound, as if it was worshipping the idol.] 】

[You breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the 'Frightened Stinging Serpent' has not noticed you, and that it is approaching the idol in front of you.] 】

Lin Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.

I secretly made up my mind that when I was done exploring the map, I would go back to Bennett and remove the eyeball's bonus effect.

[You continued to observe silently in the same place, and the 'frightened stinging snake' worshipped the idol for a long time, and finally got up and ......]

[It looks down the corridor at the end of the hall and twists its body forward.] 】

['Frightened Stinging Snake' swims towards the corridor......]

Do you want to stay here, or do you want to follow behind it? 】

[You move silently, following after the 'Frightened Stinging Snake'......]

[It doesn't seem to notice you right after you, and swims straight to the middle fork in the corridor.] 】

[It then chooses the central fork all the way, and after three forks, you will see the oval portal connected at the end of the corridor.] 】

[To your surprise, the portal is no longer a black hole, and you can dimly see a starry grand hall in it.] 】

[The 'Terror Stinger' burrowed straight into the portal, and disappeared.] 】

Do you want to enter the portal? 】

Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth.

In front of him, there were ninety-nine forks in the 'Corridor of Stars', and by the time it came to 'Frightened Serpent', there were only three left......

"This guy is really firm in his faith!"

He was about to step into the portal when his sixth sense, a veteran player, suddenly gave an alarm.

The 'Terror Stinger' is clearly a powerful monster at the boss level.

The enhanced stealth effect of 'Dark Shadows' is negligible in bright light, almost none.

Will a powerful boss fail to spot the dancer's stealth skills?

Lin Xun felt that it was unlikely, even if he really couldn't find it, it would be a small probability event.

After a moment's thought, he switched shells.

[You are possessed by the body of the 'Sunken Earth Giant'! 】

[You raise the 'Ancient Dragontooth Giant Stick' in your hand and stride into the portal......]

[You feel a trance, and the scene in front of you changes drastically. 】

[Before you can see your surroundings clearly, a hideous shadow will rush in with a swift momentum. 】

[The sharp scythe of your forelimbs cuts through the scale armor around your waist, leaving a huge bloody wound that nearly disembowels you. 】

[You have received a lot of injuries! 】

['Dragon Knight's Regenerated Scale Armor' healed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was as good as ever.] 】

[You can also see that the extremely fast attacker is the 'Frightened Stinging Snake'!] 】

"Sure enough, I might be discovered when I followed it, and this boss wanted to yin me!"

Lin Xun secretly congratulated himself on switching the body of the earth giant.

Otherwise, if you use a dancer to carry a sneak attack of the boss, you will definitely be led.

[You let out an earth-shattering roar, raise the murder weapon in your hand, and smash it towards the monster......]

['Terror Stinging Snake' twists its body, deftly dodges your ferocious blow, and quickly retreats backwards......]

[You wield a giant stick and went in pursuit, only to see the 'Frightened Stinging Snake' open the bone plate armor behind it, tilt its head back, and then poke out, two sharp black shadows piercing your body with a sound of breaking through the air. 】

[You roar in anger and only feel severe pain!] 】

[You pull out the spines that pierce your body, and the spines are covered with green mucus, and the flesh of the wound is corroded by the mucus, making you feel unbearable pain. 】

[You strode forward to get close to the 'Frightened Stinging Serpent', but instead of confronting you, it kept pulling away and wandering around. 】

[Sharp spines with corrosive acid are constantly spewed out during the pull, making your injuries gradually worse......]

Lin Xun originally thought that 'Fearful Stinger' was an agile assassin in hand-to-hand combat, but he didn't expect it to be a boss that focuses on long-range attacks.

"Hmph, you think you're going to fly a kite?"

Lin Xun did not hesitate to summon the 'three-headed lion' directly.

[With a crisp whistle, you summon the fierce and strong 'Three-Headed Lion'! 】

He didn't give the attack order with the three lions, but gave the rare protection order.

[You are possessed by the shell of the 'President of the Inquisitive Direct Sight Association'! 】

[The 'Sinking Three-Headed Lion' takes a stride and secures you firmly under its majestic body.] 】

[The 'Terror Stinging Serpent' once again shoots sharp spines at you, but the three lions resist them with their flesh and blood.] 】

[The muscles of the three-headed lion wriggled and squeezed out the spines, and then the wound healed quickly, like a solid iron wall, blocking all attacks for you. 】

[You raise your staff and recite the incantation......]

[The pure white grating rises from the ground and protects you, becoming a second solid defense. 】

"Kite flying tactics with me? Let me tell you what a fort in a fortress is. ”

Lin Xun smiled slightly and pressed the 'Falling Star Light'.

[You raise your staff and chant the incantation again......]

【……】

[The 'Terror Stinging Snake' fired acid spines one after another, but they were all blocked by the strong bodies of the three lions one by one. 】

【Endless Starlight Blooms!】 】

[When the light is extinguished, the body of the 'Frightened Stinging Snake' is covered with wounds, and green blood flows everywhere.] 】

[It wails a few times, and weakly sprays spine thorns at you again, but the strength and speed of the shot are far less than before, and it is easily blocked by the three lions.] 】

"Not dead yet? The health bar is thick enough......"

Lin Xun no longer uses 'Falling Star Light', this skill is too blue-intensive.

He continued to hide under the crotch of the three lions, and used his small skills to output wildly.

【……】

[With the pure white spear piercing through the deformed torso, the 'Frightened Stinging Snake' finally falls.] 】

Lin Xun waited quietly for the game to pop up the text of the bonus item.

Who knew that after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

['Frightened Stinger' eyes dimmed, and the tattered corpse covered with wounds remained motionless and silent. 】

"Sample, will you still play dead?"

If the game text doesn't say 'You defeated XXX', it means that the monster in front of you is not dead.

Of course, Lin Xun would not be deceived by this little trick.

[You raise your hand, and the 'Pre-Stored Spell Ring' flashes light, and the giant spear composed of two characters instantly pierces through the enemy, firmly nailing it to the ground. 】

['Frightened Stinging Snake' writhes violently to bounce, but is firmly nailed to death by the spear, and its struggle gradually weakens......]

[You have defeated the Spirit of the Stars - Terror Stinging Serpent, and your experience points have been greatly increased.] 】

【You have gained 'Enlightened Chunk Spirituality'*1】

[You have obtained 'Stinging Serpent's Corrosive Spine' (material)]

[You have obtained 'Stellar Essence of Faith' (item)]

[You look at the scarred corpses in front of you......]

[The body of the 'Spirit of the Stars-Terror Stinging Serpent': The Stars Clan is given the name 'Spirit of the Stars', and only the backbone race of the Stars Clan can receive this orthodox title.] But it is one of the thousands of spiny snakes, an ordinary little stinging snake. It died from an unknown spell that pierced its body. Phase: 57% (+45%)】

[You look at the only building that exists in the distanceβ€”the magnificent hall that stands. Countless stars are dazzling all around. 】

[Do you want to step forward and enter the 'Star Spirit Temple'? 】

Lin Xun didn't rush into the 'Star Spirit Palace' to receive the reward.

He opens his inventory and looks at the loot he just gotten.

['The Corrosive Spine of the Stinging Snake' (Material): Chosen from the hardest and thickest spine on the stinging snake's body, the spine has a sharp barb at the tip, and the weapon forged from this material is sure to be incredibly lethal.] 】

['The Essence of Stellar Faith' (item): A little cold starlight.] Only the creature with the strongest faith in the stars can condense the essence of faith. This is usually only produced in the body of a family organism, because it is difficult for ordinary people to attain such a firm and pure faith. 】

[Using this item will increase your devotion to the belief in the Bright Stars.] 】

Lin Xun's face was full of black lines.

What's the use of this?

He is not a cultist of the stars, so he obviously can't use this item.

"Increase the ...... of Faith Piety"

Lin Xun pondered for a moment, and there was a guess whether the so-called 'Faith Piety' would be the opening condition for some kind of task in the 'Bright Stars' oath...... Or the conditions for the use of a certain magic spell, etc.

If there is piety in the 'Bright Stars', will there be such a concept in the camp of 'Almighty Knowledge'?

Lin Xun speculated for a long time and had no clue.

He put aside his distractions for a moment and clicked forward.

[You step forward, gradually receiving the near-magnificent palace surrounded by stars......]

[The 'Three-Headed Lion of Perdition' follows you closely, always on guard for the situation around you. 】

[You climb the stairs in front of the temple and climb the stairs ......]

[You suddenly stop, and you notice that there is a monument standing at the entrance of the hall, which is the same as what you see in the hall of the 'Corridor of Stars', but the words on it seem to be a little different. 】

[You go up and see the words written on the stele - 'Only those who are firm in their faith can receive divine favor.' 】
