"It's true that the underworld has a lot of secrets and a lot of good things, but that doesn't mean there are no dangers here."

"The bigger the gain, the more risk you have to ...... This is in line with the law of equivalence in Destiny City, and it is also the common sense of most players. ”

"But the current public opinion seems to have pointed to the fact that the underground world is an unprecedented place to make money, just waiting for everyone to come over with sacks to pick up good things."

"Such a stupid idea, few players should believe it, but the current mainstream trend is almost in this direction."

"When things go wrong, there must be demons!"

Chen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, realizing that something must be happening quietly here.

With the eyes of luck, he saw the depths of the cave, and there was a deep blood light constantly filling, as if it was about to lead to some never-ending abyss.

This expanding trend is growing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye......

Could it also be related to the fact that there are more players following up?

Chen Ye felt more and more that something was going to happen here, and the task in the future was not only the 20 million transactions of the thugs, but he had to do something to interfere with the real plans of the Dark Night Organization.

If not...... If the plan is successful, it will not be possible to make Feng. Lucius was completely freed.

And judging from the recent fate and effect, this bishop, who should have died three hundred years ago, is likely to become his biggest threat.

Therefore, blocking the other party's plan is actually one of the means to protect itself.

Thoughts were flying, and unconsciously, Chen Ye's figure had come to the coordinates with coordinates (110.44).

Come here......

Most of the caves here are intricately intersections, with a wide range, not only horizontal caves, but also longitudinal interlaced highland straggles.

It completely subverts the route that ordinary people walk, and it doesn't seem to be prepared for humans at all, but like a road prepared for insects and monsters operating in the earth's crust.

Even if you have the pupil of luck, it is difficult to see what will happen at the next fork in the road.

[Chen Ye: "I have arrived near the intersection, you can go to the exit from coordinates (110.44) to (110.45), wait for me, and meet there."] ”】

After sending this message, I quickly received a "good" reply from the other side.

After all, this cave maze is so troublesome, even if you communicate by text, it is difficult to find the location of the other party.

Anyway, they are going to (110.45), so it is better to simply go to the junction of the two coordinates and have a meeting.

Walking along the instructions of the [Wanderer Map], Chen Ye soon found the location of the junction.

"This ......"

At the mouth of the cave, a familiar voice was heard.

Chen Ye turned his head to look, only to see Chenxi and the others surrounded by the scorching sun, and slowly walked over.

"The boss is here!" Wang Jing revealed a look of surprise, "Mom! He also said how safe the underground world is, and the more I go this way, the more evil I feel here, but fortunately, the boss is here, and I finally feel safe. ”

"What's the catch?"

Chen Ye asked as he walked straight towards everyone.

"Yes!"

Dawn nodded and said, "We found this ...... over here."

She walked over to a rock and gently kicked the stone off her feet, revealing the ground hidden at the bottom of the stone.

With the light of the Divine Flame......

You can see that the ground buried by the stone is depicted with a blue-black symbol.

"It's ......"

Chen Ye squatted down and leaned forward to check, his brows furrowed uncontrollably:

"A symbol of sacrifice?"

"That's right." Dawn nodded again, "I found some kind of evil aura inside, if nothing else, it must be the mark used to sacrifice some kind of evil god." ”

"And...... This kind of symbol does not belong to the demon, but is intertwined with confusion, error and other information, and it is impossible to obtain the information of the symbol according to the runic interpretation method of the Church of the Burning Sun. ”

But it is clear that the symbolic structure of this symbol is very different from that of the devil. Scold! Our Sun Church has been fighting demons for so long, and we are all too familiar with the enemy, if it is a mark related to demons, it can definitely be deciphered, but unfortunately it is not. ”

"As for what the hell it is...... That is not known for the time being. ”

Shen Meng said with a little worry: "Not only this place, we have also found similar symbols in other places, here, there, a little farther away...... On our way, we found several such symbols along the way, both inside the labyrinth, outside the labyrinth, and here...... All in all, I feel like there are similar symbols everywhere! ”

The nine-tailed fox frowned and muttered:

"Could it be that some evil organization has entered the underground world and used this place as a position to arrange some kind of large-scale ancient sacrifice ceremony?"

"In that case...... If we wait for the ritual to be triggered, will all of our beings who are in the ritual be sacrificed and lose their lives? ”

"That's not right! But in this way, a large-scale sacrifice of this scale is too vast, and to absorb so many living breaths at the same time, even an evil god who has reached the seven-turn sequence may not be able to do it. If this level is really reached, is it necessary to hide so deeply? ”

Without waiting for the nine-tailed fox to continue to speak and analyze, Chenxi took over the topic and said:

"If you want to reach the level of seven or more turns, you need to have at least a certain number of believers, or carriers, as containers for the authority of the gods......

"But if it is the existence of this kind of yin and evil, once it reaches the level of the Seven Transformations True God, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Lord of the Burning Sun."

"And if it is only based on the underground world, then it is obvious that such a container cannot reach the needs of a container that can carry gods, in other words, such an existence is at most a pseudo-god infinitely close to the seventh turn, and it cannot reach the level of a true god, so naturally it cannot touch this form of sacrifice."

However, even with Chenxi's words, everyone present couldn't help but show a look of worry.

Everyone looked towards Chen Ye one after another......

At present, standing on the field, the player with the most backbone is tantamount to this last month's leader.

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, and then looked towards the blue-black symbol.

At this moment, the talent of [Blood Character Research] was suddenly touched!

[A certain symbol for the sacrifice of the dead......]

[Symbolism...... Unknown...... Mysterious ......】

[Cage? Escape! 】

…………

"Wait...... Could this be...... Not a sacrifice for the living? But the sacrifice of the dead? ”

At this moment, Chen Ye suddenly understood something, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Everyone has been led into a misunderstanding......

I thought that the sacrifice must be like a large-scale evil god sacrifice, extracting the breath of all the living in the formation.

The consumption of such a formation is too great, and even an ordinary true god may not be able to carry it.

After all, most of the weird epochs are feature effects, and such a direct extraction of influence class characteristics, to be honest, the authority involved is too high, and even if it can be made, it will definitely be accompanied by some flaws, and it will not be able to achieve the expected effect.

But if it is a sacrifice to the dead, and not to the living......

So.

Everything makes sense!

The so-called sacrifice of the dead means very simply, as long as it is in the circle, the existence of death will be sacrificed to lose the vitality remaining in the body.

After all, the strange era is a very special game, and the so-called death is not the decay of the body, but the complete death of self-consciousness.

But because many occupations have changed the structure of life, the energy in the body is still very different.

Therefore, even after death, the bodies left behind by many professions still contain a lot of energy and have great sacrificial value.

If the living sacrifice and absorb, the target is still alive and has a self-conscious existence, then it will definitely be violently resisted, and it must be more than ten times, or even hundreds or thousands of times stronger, to snatch this energy over.

But if it is a sacrifice of the dead, then the other party is already dead, and there is only an empty, ownerless consciousness energy in the body, and with a little effort, you can snatch these breaths, and the consumption is naturally much lower.

Although the residual vitality will continue to pass with the time of death, it is certainly not as good as the effect of the living......

But it's better to save more effort!

In the case of thousands of times the efficiency left, absorbing tens of percent less, in contrast, is completely earned.

If you change your thinking like this, something will happen in the underground world, I'm afraid, it's already coming out!

Chen Ye took a deep breath, then calmed down and said slowly:

"This symbol, though it is a symbol used for sacrifice, is not a sacrifice for the living, but a sacrifice for the dead."

"So, you don't have to worry about standing here, being within the scope of the sacrifice, triggering the end of certain death."

"Because of this sacrificial formation, the original target is not the living, but the dead, in other words, as long as you are alive, then nothing will happen to this symbol...... On the other hand, if you are already dead, it is already over, and being sacrificed again will not change the result. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed a look of sudden realization.

It turns out that this is the formation of the sacrifice of the dead!

Seemingly...... It's still a false alarm!

The seriousness of the situation was not as terrible as I thought, after all, to touch such a large-scale sacrifice of the living, it really required the characteristics of more than seven gods, and it was not something that could be done casually.

Even gods need to follow the principle of equivalent exchange.

To have such terrifying power, the price to pay is not small.

However, if it is a sacrifice of the dead, although it is a "sacrifice" array, due to the different targets, the energy consumed, the price paid, and the final influence are completely two different levels.

In this way, it will be possible to explain why the underworld is full of such symbols.

Chenxi glanced at Chen Ye in a slightly surprised manner.

She was a little curious, how did the other party use symbols to reverse the characteristics inside?

To know...... As a saint of the Sun Church, she has been exposed to a lot of knowledge about the occult of "Strange Age" before she can make judgments about symbols.

However, it is only possible to derive specific uses for demons and more general symbols.

As for cracking...... That's the "Rune Cracking Method" that only the [Rune Master] casts.

In the case of the [Sun] sequence, if you encounter a symbol that symbolizes yin and evil, you don't need to "crack" it at all, you only need to release a fireball spell and add the [Purification] attribute of restraint, and you can easily solve it.

Therefore, there is no need to go too deep into the field.

However......

Chen Ye's current profession doesn't seem to be related to "rune literature"?

If I'm not mistaken, the other party must already have several high-level professions, right?

And to crack such a difficult rune, you need to reach at least the level of four turns.

Could it be that the other party still has a hidden profession with four turns?

This ......

But Chenxi was a little confused, and he felt that Chen Ye's strength was more unfathomable than he imagined.

Chen Ye caught a glimpse of Chenxi's expression in his spare eyes, and smiled secretly, knowing that the other party was thinking about life again.

Of course, he didn't take the initiative to say how he knew the content of the symbol.

If it's a regular feature, it's okay to talk about it a bit.

But I can see that the essence of the sacrificial symbol does not depend on a certain characteristic, but on an exclusive talent.

The characteristics of any profession can be deduced from the identity of the profession and can be understood using the game information in "Strange Age".

Only exclusive talents, each player is different, but a new way to play.

Therefore, the attributes of the exclusive talent are only known to the player himself, as long as he does not die and actively exposing it, others will not be able to figure out what their exclusive talent is.

This is the biggest intelligence information gap!

As for the influence authority of [Exclusive Talent], it seems that it will not be affected due to the class level.

It can be seen as a special rule that operates independently......

No matter what level of existence is seen, [Blood Word Research] can extract valuable and researchable words to decipher intelligence and key information.

This is what distinguishes exclusive talents from generic perks......

If it is an information-based characteristic, it may be restrained, invalidated, or even eaten up by itself due to the lack of professional level.

However, exclusive talents are independent of this system and can be used freely.

This is also the reason why Chen Ye attaches great importance to exclusive talents......

Win the first place on the list, and constantly stack exclusive talents, but if the number reaches enough, I am afraid that the exclusive talents can be stacked into a good class trait, so that it will become more convenient for you to roll snowballs in the future.

But the nine-tailed fox did not take it lightly, but said worriedly:

"But...... If this underground world is full of runes that sacrifice the dead...... Doesn't that mean that there may be a lot of dead here in the future to be sacrificed? ”

"You're right!"

Chen Ye smiled slightly and said, "If you want me to say, this is probably the reason why the discussion in the underground world suddenly became active on the public screen." ”
