Chapter 208: The Dungeon and the Corpse Puppet
If it was the heyday of the King of Fish, Ye Pianran would not dare to fight it head-to-head.
It's a pity that at this time, the king of fish is already at the end of the strong crossbow, on the other hand, she has the beginning of her sword intent, and it is when the battle intent is in full swing, and her state is rising.
The enemy is weak and I am strong, and the victory or defeat is on paper.
Accepting the crystal nucleus of the Fish King, and then erasing the traces of the battle here, Ye Pianran left with the sword and disappeared into the sky.
After flying out for three hundred miles, she slowed down, took out the four crystal nuclei she had obtained, and examined them carefully.
The crystal nucleus is clear and irregular, and the crystal nucleus produced by the third-order demon beast is significantly different from the fourth-order, the higher the level, the larger the crystal nucleus, and the more solid the color.
At first glance, it looks like a demon pill.
But she knew that this was not a demon pill, it was a unique product in the secret realm of the White Frost Valley, and its effect was similar to that of point counting, the higher the score, the more dominant it would be in the subsequent treasure hunt.
The color of the crystal nucleus is directly related to the production area, for example, the four manta rays she killed are all from the bone-eating Black Sea, so they are black crystal nuclei.
In a dense swamp area, the crystal nucleus will be green, and the Great Hall of Light will be yellow.
Regardless of the color, the number of points corresponding to the crystal nuclei of different grades is the same, such as one point for the first order, ten points for the second order, and one hundred points for the third order...... And so on.
As for the specific meaning of the different colors, it is unknown.
According to Senior Sister Xie Mingyao, since the opening of the White Frost Valley Secret Realm, so many years have passed, and no one has been able to understand the secret behind the color of the crystal nucleus.
Only one thing is for sure, and that is the color-different mechanic, which must not be a gratuitous display, but no one knows where the key to solving the puzzle is.
Leaving this matter aside for the time being, Ye Pianran held the crystal nucleus from the fish king in his hand, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.
The crystal nucleus of the fourth-order demon beast is basically more than twice that of the third-order demon beast, almost the size of an adult's fist, which can be confirmed from the comparison of the previous three crystal nuclei.
And the crystal nucleus of the king of fish, on this basis, will be seven or eight points larger, starting with a heavy one, low transmittance, and only when the light source is sufficient will it show a clear side.
This crystal nucleus was obviously far beyond the realm of the fourth order, but it also did not reach the standard of the fifth order.
What she is concerned about now is how many fractions this crystal nucleus can be converted into, because the crystal nucleus is not an empty shell with no appearance, there is energy in it, and the number of fractions depends on these energies.
According to the experience of many years in the past, the score corresponding to the crystal nucleus of the same grade is not fixed, but has a considerable floating space, and the higher the grade, the greater the fluctuation.
Anyway, less than a day after entering the secret realm, she had at least two thousand points in hand, and she was still in a good mood.
Ye Pianran played with the crystal nucleus for a while, then put it away properly and continued to move in the direction he chose.
The Bone-Eating Black Sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and even the most detailed topographic maps are useless.
However, the topographic map is not only used to point out directions, but also to the small print notes on the side, indicating any anomalies or precautions in the area.
One of them is that in the Black Sea, some strange whirlpools will randomly generate on the surface of the sea, and once this whirlpool is generated, all creatures within a radius of hundreds of miles will be sucked into it, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it all depends on luck.
When the strange whirlpool is about to be born, it is accompanied by some omens, mainly manifested as abnormal rolling of the sea surface, dimming of the light on the sea, sluggish operation of spiritual power, and so on.
Long before entering the secret realm, she had memorized the entire topographic map by heart, and she was even more careful about the abnormal situation outside, so that she could turn around and run away at any time.
Another journey of more than 100 miles has passed, and the Black Sea in front of him is still not in sight, Rao is Ye Pianran is determined, and he can't help but feel a little discouraged.
She cautiously observed the situation around her, preparing to take a break in the air to replenish her strength and relieve her exhaustion.
But she didn't want to, on the surface of the sea less than twenty miles behind her, suddenly a strong wind and stormy waves.
The seabed, which is thousands of miles deep, erupted with an extremely strong suction, and then formed a whirlpool in the sea, which continued to spread upwards and disturb the sea area within a radius of 100 miles.
When Ye Pianran noticed all this, it was too late.
It's not that she doesn't react fast enough, it's that she's right above the head of this weird whirlpool, and she can't run even if she wants to.
And she really didn't expect that the so-called random generation turned out to be such a random method, which was no essential difference from natural disasters, and it was simply unavoidable.
As for the various omens mentioned in the picture, there are indeed them, but the speed of diffusion is really not flattering, and it can basically be said that people have been sucked in before the omen arrives.
Of course, it doesn't do any good to talk about it now.
Ye Pianran, who was torn apart by the huge suction, had no choice but to sacrifice the Blue Devil Ding to protect himself, and let this suction take him away and go to an unknown place.
And this time, the Blue Devil Ding did not show the same hardness and firmness as before, and the whole Ding shook endlessly, and even made a crunching and muffled sound.
Of course she knew what this meant, this vortex suction force was unimaginably destructive, even the Blue Demon Ding was a little unbearable, I am afraid that even the body of the Jindan monk could not resist it.
Fortunately, this process was not long, about less than half an hour, with a loud bang, the giant ding fell to the ground, and the suction outside gradually weakened until it was completely eliminated.
The crisis was suspected to have been resolved, but Ye Pianran did not immediately take back the Blue Demon Ding, but kept the posture of rolling down, and waited in place for half an hour, waiting quietly to see what happened.
She observed the situation outside through her divine sense, and found that this place was surrounded by stone walls and regular passages, as if it was completely disconnected from the Black Sea, like an underground palace.
The dungeon was silent, and nothing could be heard except the sound of her breathing.
Ye Pianran hesitated for a moment, and decided to stretch his divine sense out a little further, and if it didn't work, he continued to expand until it reached its limit.
It was when she expanded for the third time that she really made a discovery.
It was a prison-like room, with the chains hanging from the fence open, and a group of strange people inside.
These people have yellow and green complexions, are skinny, and present an extremely unhealthy posture, and the hair on their bodies is like dead grass, messy, and they can't see their faces at all.
Somehow, as soon as he saw these people, a feeling of fur rose in Ye Pianran's heart.
After a few more careful glances, the posture of this group of people slowly overlapped with the patterns recorded in an ancient book in her memory, making her eyes widen for a moment.
Yes, these guys are not people!
The color is green, skinny, fluffy, and the body is foul-smelling.
This is what she saw in an ancient book about puppets, which gave a brief introduction to several types of puppets, including a paragraph about corpse puppets.
Four of them account for three, there is no doubt that this group of strange people is a corpse puppet!
