Chapter 315: Exoskeleton Mask, Sea of Corruption
[You finished reading the 'Abbot's Essay', and were just about to leave the bedroom, but you met a fat figure. 】
[Its body is so fat that it holds its cloak like an inflated ball, and its wide cuffs reveal a fat body packed with pleats.] 】
[The 'Feathered Abbot' wears a grayish-white carapace mask on his face, the small mask can't hide all of its face, and large swaths of greasy fat overflow from the edges of the mask.] 】
[The dean walked into the door leisurely with the belt around his waist, but unexpectedly bumped into you head-on......]
[It is visibly stunned, and a questioning voice comes from under the mask......]
[Your 'sacrament ceremony' failed, don't confess to the 'nurse' in repentance, what are you doing here!] 】
In order to facilitate access to information and memories, Lin Xun spent the rest of his time exploring with the 'Monk' body that he gave away at the beginning, except for switching the body of the 'Greedy Wolf Star Monarch' during the fight.
Encountering such a scene, it may have triggered a related event, and he is not in a hurry to exchange for the greedy wolf star monarch to collect experience points.
You bow your head and are silent. 】
[Seeing this, the dean swallowed the words of continued questioning back into his stomach, let out a long sigh, turned around and closed the door. 】
[It pats you on the shoulder, and speaks with relief, there are thousands of devout pilgrims on the path of feathering, and you and it are one of them. 】
[Every feathering is a test for the child by the 'nursing mother', if the pious heart is shaken for half a minute, the feathering will fail, and it will be contaminated with the power of the devil.] 】
[No one can resist the corruption of demonic power, and death is the only way for you to be liberated now......]
[Rest in peace, so that even after death, you can return to the arms of the 'nursing mother'...... It's better than being a demon and being driven to the 'Sea of Corruption' and eventually sinking into the sea to dance with the darkness. 】
[It looks at the bedroom wall behind you, and its gaze seems to go through the wall into the distance.] 】
[Are you leaving the 'Dean's Bedroom'?] 】
Lin Xun thought for a moment and pressed 'No'.
[The dean saw that you had not been to the confessional room for a long time, and you were still staying in the bedroom, and finally became angry. 】
[It shouts at your obstinacy, claiming that the 'nurse' will not accept a child who is willing to become a demon!] 】
[The 'Feathered Abbot' pressed the pale mask on its face, and the carapace mask instantly extended and enveloped its fat body, forming a hard-shell armor of exotic bones. 】
[It lunged forward, its movements unusually fast, completely inconsistent with its fat body......]
[You are possessed by the body of the 'Greedy Wolf Star King of Desire'! 】
[As soon as you pinch the sword technique, the fairy sword turns into a streamer that runs through the hard carapace of the dean, passing through the chest......]
[You know that the vitality of the feathered monster is extremely strong, and the injury that pierces the chest is not enough to pose a fatal threat to it, so you did not stop the sword and continued to manipulate the flying sword to attack......]
[The sword aura is cold, and the fairy sword goes back and forth, and soon the dean's fat body is pierced into a sieve......]
[The dean convulsed and fell to the ground, and there was a murmur of disbelief from under the pale mask, you are not the child of the 'nursing mother', who are you......]
[You defeated the 'Feathered Abbot', and your experience points increased slightly.] 】
[You have gained 'a small piece of spirituality of epiphany'*1]
[You have obtained the 'Exoskeleton Mask' (Finesse Equipment)!] 】
[You look at the fat body that fell to the ground......]
['Feathered Abbot': The Abbot who has been feathered several times has a very weak combat ability due to the weakness of its feathered form at this stage.] Phase: 86% (+55)】
Do you want to possess the shell? 】
Lin Xun raised his eyebrows.
I don't know if it's because the 'Star Monarch Flowing Crown' has increased the drop rate, and the dean directly broke out the equipment.
He didn't want the monster to drop equipment, but instead to drop items and spirits.
Because the former can use talent possession to plunder monster equipment to achieve the effect of 'dropping', while the latter is purely face-looking, and possession cannot obtain spirituality and props.
[You possess the body of the 'Feathered Abbot!' 】
Lin Xun waited for a while, but it didn't show that the dean's memory had recovered.
Open the panel to check, the dean's attributes are extremely stretched, only a little higher than ordinary monks.
His attention turned to the mask gear he had just acquired.
['Exoskeleton Mask' (Elite Equipment): Some special feathered ones decay after death, but the sturdy exoskeleton can be preserved intact.] This part of the exoskeleton was made into armor by later generations, and then shaped into a mask form through multiple techniques, which continued to serve the 'nursing mother'. 】
[With this equipment, the mask will automatically extend and wrap around your body when you enter the combat state, becoming a solid exoskeleton armor.] 】
[This equipment is currently in a damaged state and needs to be repaired before it can be used.] 】
"It's an interesting piece of equipment......
According to the description of the dean's body, the text on display with this piece of equipment.
Lin Xun deduced that there were many kinds of feathers, and featherers like the dean were not good at fighting.
And the feathered person whose corpse can be made into an 'exoskeleton mask' after death may be a powerful monster.
He manipulated the 'Dean''s body and explored the remaining rooms.
[You leave the 'Dean's Bedroom' and walk along the corridor......]
[There are still three bedrooms left in the corridor to explore, and you come to the door of the nearest bedroom.] 】
[Strangely enough, the bedroom door is not closed, but a gap is revealed.] 】
[You look through the crack in the door and see a disheveled nun lying on the bed in the room, who seems to have just experienced a pleasure, and her cheeks are flushed with unfading redness.] 】
[You leaned on the door and peeped a little louder, and accidentally pushed the wooden door to make a 'squeak' sound. 】
The nun is startled and turns her head to look at you. 】
[As soon as it saw that you were going and coming back, it patted its chest, muttered complainingly, and then opened its two arthropods with thick and stiff bristles under its body and beckoned to you......]
Do you want to come forward and experience joy? 】
???
Lin Xun only felt spicy eyes.
Without hesitation, he switched his body, and the flying sword was interspersed one after another, and he immediately sent the nun to heaven.
After killing the nun, he gained some spirituality again.
But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the nun body has no skills, but it has memories......
【……】
[After experiencing the 'sacrament ceremony' for the first time, the nun is deeply remorseful. 】
[What it regrets is not that it has been feathered, but that it has chosen the inferior 'ritual blood'. 】
[The feathered ones come in a variety of forms, such as the obese abbot, although they are ugly, fat, and do not have great strength, but this is only the initial stage of feathering. 】
[I heard that after a few more feathers, the dean can grow wings and fly over the strait to reach the kingdom of God. 】
[The nun is very envious, but even if it chooses to feather many times, it is impossible to gain the ability to fly, which means that it ...... It will never be able to reach the kingdom of God in this lifetime. 】
[Just as it fell into despair, the dean told it that the path chosen for the first feather was indeed very crucial and determined its future fate, but it was not impossible to change. 】
[At present, it has experienced a small number of featherings, and it is still possible to change form.] 】
[As long as a large amount of 'ritual blood' from other sources is injected, it is possible to transform the feather form and achieve the purpose of gaining the ability to fly.] 】
[The nun was pleasantly surprised when she learned the secret, but the 'ritual blood' with the ability to grow wings was relatively rare, and it could not afford to buy it at all.] 】
[Fortunately...... The abbot was generous and willing to selflessly inject his own blood into it to fulfill the nun's lifelong wish......]
【……】
[Oh, it turns out that the dean's sting needle is so thick......]
【……】
[The shattered memories come to an abrupt end here......]
Lin Xun twisted his brows and read the memory.
Feathers do have different forms, and the feathering experienced by the first 'sacramental ritual' is a way to choose a form.
The origin of the bottle of 'ritual blood' in his inventory is unknown, but just by looking at its 'dilapidated grade' quality, you know that it is junk and should not be the dean's 'ritual blood'.
If an ordinary apostle does not have flying skills, it is estimated that he can only find the 'ritual blood' from the dean, and try to feather a few times before he can cross the strait and reach the kingdom of God.
He turned around and threw away the nun's shell and explored the remaining rooms.
The other two bedrooms were also inhabited by monks, and Lin Xun turned them all into experience points like chopping melons and vegetables.
There is no other gain than a little spirituality.
At this point, the interior of the monastery has been explored.
He thought about it for a moment, and went back to the 'Resting Page' to refresh, ready to farm monsters repeatedly.
The other mobs have all reappeared, but only the dean is judged to be an elite monster by the Netherworld game, and the refresh cannot make it reborn.
Lin Xun washed the monastery up and down twice in blood, and finally stopped.
Originally, the second time you farmed monsters, you could only get some scrap items, or nothing exploded. But this time, the monster farm actually dropped some spirituality, which can be said to be an unexpected joy.
However, when the monster is farmed for the third time, the explosion rate returns to zero.
After clearing the monastery and making sure nothing was missed, he began to explore the outside world......
【……】
[You go down the spiral staircase and go back to the atrium on the first floor......]
[The atrium is connected to a large iron gate, through which is the garden courtyard, after which you can leave the monastery.] 】
Are you going to push the door open? 】
[You slowly push open the door of the atrium......]
[In the middle of the night, the sky is densely covered with clouds, and there is no moonlight, but it does not appear the kind of darkness that cannot be seen, but presents an indescribable gray color. 】
[You look up at the sky and try to find the light source, only to see the gray light through the gaps in the layers of clouds, spilling on the earth, you judge intuitively...... That's not the moon. 】
[The courtyard garden is overgrown with weeds, and it seems that it has not been taken care of for a long time. 】
[The air is filled with damp and salty moisture, and if you listen closely, you can faintly hear the ebb and flow of the waves and the sound of crashing against the reef. 】
[In the fence at the end of the garden, there is a metal fence gate, and when you look through the fence, you see a vast ocean in the distance. 】
[You hurriedly stepped forward and walked through the fence gate to the outside of the monastery......]
[The endless sea is hundreds of meters below your feet, and it turns out that the monastery is on top of a seaside cliff. 】
[At one end of the cliff is a barren and desolate land, as far as the eye can see, there is no building and no life. 】
[On the other side of the cliff is the vast sea, and to your surprise, the sea is not dark at night. 】
[You open your eyes and clearly see that the ocean is a strange amber color. 】
[You know, it's the 'Sea of Corruption' that separates the land from the kingdom of God!] 】
[As the 'Abbot', you know some hidden legends......]
[Legend has it that the amber liquid in the 'Sea of Corruption' is not seawater, but the blood of sin that flows from the body of a heretical demon.] 】
[Neither mortals nor feathered people can touch the sea!] 】
[Sailing in the sea, even the strongest ironclad ships will be corroded, turned into a mass of scrap metal, and sink into the vast sea. 】
[Not to mention some fools who want to swim across the 'Sea of Corruption' with their flesh and blood.] 】
[Unless you have wings, you ...... No one can cross the 'Sea of Corruption' to reach the land of God on the other side. 】
[You raise your eyes and look in the direction where the Kingdom of God is located in your memory......]
[Far north, at the junction of sea level and sky, there seems to be a ray of unfamiliar land. 】
[Are you going to cross the 'Sea of Corruption' and go to the kingdom of God of the 'Lustful Nurse'? 】
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and decided to give it a try.
[You are possessed by the body of the 'Greedy Wolf Star King of Desire'! 】
[As soon as your mind moved, you pinched the sword technique in your hand, and the true yuan in your body was surging, and the 'Dou Zhuan Xing Moving Immortal Sword' floated in the air. 】
[You stand with your hands in your hands, step on the flying sword, and the sword turns into a streamer and flies towards the land at the end of the sea......]
[Before you flew off the cliff and reached the boundary of the 'Sea of Corruption', you felt a sinking in your body, and the invisible pressure forced you to plummet. 】
[This mysterious force is irresistible, and you fall straight to a distance of only ten meters from the sea level. 】
[It wasn't until you were at this height that you could feel that mysterious force disappear and Edgeworth flew unimpeded. 】
[The undulating waves of the 'Sea of Corruption' are at your feet, and the amber waters are clearly visible in front of you. 】
[While you are flying with your sword, you look down on the sea, and your eyes are cast into the depths of the sea, which is as lifeless as the land outside, and you can't even see a fish or shrimp. 】
Are you trying to dive into the 'Sea of Corruption'? 】
The game of the underworld jumps out of the malicious options.
Lin Xun seemed to see a bright red word 'danger'.
He had a hunch that if he pressed the 'yes' option, 90 percent of the dog would die.
"Why don't you dive down and see what the hell is going on?"
At present, the soul strength is overflowing, and there is no place to spend it, and it doesn't seem to be a loss to exchange a little soul strength for the information clues of the world background.
Lin Xun patted his head, and suddenly woke up: "Why don't you just change the body of a dead ghost and try it?" ”
[You are possessed by the shell of the 'Feathered Monastery Grand Monk'! 】
[Without the flying sword under your feet, you will instantly fall into the vast sea......]
[The amber sea water submerged you, and a sharp stinging sensation came from the skin up and down your body......]
[This intense pain goes deep from the surface of the skin to the bone marrow, like countless ants eating your body.] 】
[The 'Subspecies Sea Dragon Orb' you carry shines brightly, and you can breathe freely in the water, and even fight!] 】
[Your vision blurs, and you feel like a frog being thrown into boiling water.] 】
[When you are dying, you seem to see a huge shadow swimming through the depths of the sea......]
[You open your eyes wide and try to see clearly, but your vision becomes more and more blurred until it is dark! 】
【……】
[You're dead!] 】
【……】
[Powerful geist reborn in the gloomy confessional chamber......]
Lin Xun frowned.
Death was expected.
Surprisingly, doesn't it mean that no creature can survive in the 'Sea of Corruption'?
The 'great shadow' that I saw at the bottom of the sea before I died...... What the hell is it? (End of chapter)
