The blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and the bones rubbed against each other "creaked" during the struggle.

Su Nian desperately tried to break free from the invisible spiritual shackles of the death scarecrow, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move a single bit.

Wisps of blood-colored mist seeped through his pores and were absorbed by the twisted heart of the Scarecrow's chest.

A wave of dizziness followed.

This state of returnees has been explained on the Internet, and it is a manifestation of the loss of mental power.

The death scarecrow that controls him is devouring his blood, blood, and mental power.

Unwilling to die like this, Su Nian did not give up the struggle, and was still trying to move his body, trying to break free from the control of the death scarecrow.

Time passed, and Su Nian became weaker and weaker.

Realizing that he might die in a corrupt world, a sorrow appeared in his heart.

He had been preparing for this day for a long time.

Sweating countless times for physical training, constantly checking the information of the decaying world provided by the returnees on the Internet...... Behind the hard work is his desire to live.

His heart roared unwillingly, and the emotions that had been pent up in his heart for many years gushed out.

At this moment, Su Nian smelled the breath of death coming, and the vision in front of him was like a layer of mist, gradually becoming blurred.

Just when he thought he would die of such aggrieved sorrow, a message suddenly popped up in his mind:

[Faction Tip: Countdown to the Refresh of Decayed World: 10...... 9…… 8……。 】

The sudden sound woke him up as he gradually lost consciousness.

He realized that his chance to break free was coming.

Just as he expected.

When the countdown reaches zero, the surrounding scene quickly distorts.

I saw that the sky was instantly covered with black plaque, spreading rapidly like a spider web, splitting the entire sky into countless pieces.

The inky waning moon also changed its appearance, turning into a burning first quarter moon.

The death scarecrow he controlled dissipated like smoke into the wind, the blood-colored plains beneath his feet distorted and blurred.

Suddenly, mysterious buildings made of white bones rose one after another, and an orange fireball burned at the top of each tower.

Turning his gaze to the sky, a terrifying figure as huge as an island appeared out of thin air, several pitch-black tentacles tore through the sky, and a violent wind swept across the land with a frantic wave.

The terrifying coercion struck instantly, overwhelming Su Nian.

A series of prompts rang in his head:

[Faction Hint: The world scene has been refreshed, and it has been switched to the Last Quarter Moon]

[Faction Hint: Enter the Special Ruins Scene "Citafort of Bones" on the First Quarter Moon, Scene Difficulty: First Quarter Moon (3 Stars)]

[Faction Hint: Trigger the special side quest of the Ruins scene: Occupy (destroy) the source of corrosion.] 】

[Faction Hint: Trigger the special side quest of the Ruins Scene: Shadow of Killing.] 】

[Faction Hint: Trigger the special exploration quest for the Ruins Scene: Traces of the Dead King.] 】

[Faction Hint: Trigger the special side quest of the Ruins Scene: Above Death.] 】

……

More than a dozen pieces of information poured into my mind one after another.

The world difficulty switched, the figure of the death scarecrow disappeared, and Su Nian found that he had broken free from the invisible mind control.

Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively chose to return to the main city.

This time, there was no hint of a failed teleportation, and the blood-colored flames hanging above his head spewed energy, enveloping his body.

At this moment, the surrounding white bone towers locked on Su Nian's figure one after another, and the red energy fireball at the spire burst into brilliant light.

At the moment when Su Nian's figure disappeared, countless red energy beams shot out .......

……

His vision changed from blur to clear, and Su Nian found that he had come to Purgatory City.

Loud voices came from all directions, and he gasped for breath, and the joy of the rest of his life rose in his heart.

"It's dangerous...... It's really dangerous. ”

If it weren't for the fact that the world difficulty happened to refresh and switch, he was only one step away from death, and he was powerless to break free from the shackles of the death scarecrow.

Before returning, he confronted the oppression that came from the difficulty of the first quarter moon.

What's even more terrifying is that after the world difficulty switch, the ruins scene actually appeared with his face, but fortunately he chose to return in time, otherwise he would have died.

Luckily survived, Su Nian felt that the air had become extremely sweet, and the wounds on his body no longer seemed to be painful.

Looking around, he surveyed the scene of Hellcity.

Dark clouds hung low over the city of Purgatory, and the entire edge of the city was surrounded by a thick black fog that could not be penetrated.

The streets of the city are lined with white street lamps topped by skulls and orange flames burning inside, illuminating the surrounding area.

The buildings in the vicinity are generally dark, and the ground has patterns that look like insects carved out, which looks very mysterious.

The crowd in the city wears very different styles.

There are not only modern style wear, but also ancient sacrificial style clothes full of devices, and even futuristic style clothes full of science and technology.

He is not a stranger to the city, and there are many relevant materials on the Internet to query.

The city is divided into three areas: the outer city, the inner city, and the core area.

His current location is the outer city of Purgatory City, and the inner city and the core area can only be entered by completing certain tasks.

Each urban area has a range of functional buildings.

Among them, there are six main functional buildings in the outer city, which are the sacrificial altar, the outer city trading market, the outer city store, the teleportation area, the personal space, and the skill tower.

The altar of sacrifice, as the name suggests, is a place where offerings are made to the god of purgatory.

Items obtained from exploring the decaying world, ruins, special items, corrosive life sources, and other items can be offered to the God of Purgatory as sacrifices in exchange for ember rewards.

The Outtown Trading Market is an area where soldiers are recruited to exchange resource items.

The Outer City Shop is a functional building for purchasing equipment, items, and other items exclusive to Purgatory City.

The Teleportation Zone is Infernal City's only gateway to the decaying world outside of it.

Personal Space is a space warehouse that belongs exclusively to each Recruited Warrior, and Recruited Warriors can also return to Earth through Personal Space.

The final skill tower can be used to ignite the path of a skill with ember fire, such as the initial random acquisition of extraordinary talents, which can open subsequent skill trees through the skill tower.

Brings up the options panel with an additional map option.

After clicking with consciousness, a detailed map of the outer city is modeled in mind.

The scenes of the inner city and the core area are not shown in the map modeling, and are wrapped in a thick gray fog.

According to the Returnee's description on the Internet, the inner city has more functional buildings than the outer city, and there are also non-human otherworldly conscription races.

To the Infernal God, humanity is only one of the thousands of races that have been recruited, not all.

In the inner city, humans are able to come into contact with foreign warriors from the same faction and trade or cooperate with them.

As for what the core area is like, no human has yet completed the promotion task, and there is no relevant introduction on the Internet.

After thinking for a while, Su Nian walked towards the nearest sacrificial altar to him.

Across a street, in front of you is the square, in the very center of which stands a majestic statue.

The statue's skin was red, with wings on its back, and its face was shrouded in gray mist, making it impossible to see the exact face.

According to the analysis of the returnees on the Internet, they generally believe that this statue is the owner of the city, the "God of Purgatory".

At this time, there were many figures walking around the square.

The moment Su Nian stepped into the square, a prompt popped up in his mind:

[Enter the area where the sacrificial altar is located, whether to open the sacrificial panel.] 】

After his inner response, a burning blood-colored flame appeared in front of his eyes, and below him was a list of his bags.

There are three items on the list that can be used for sacrifice, each with a detailed description of its value underneath.

Ghoul's brain nucleus:

Sacrifice Value: 8 hours and 23 minutes Ember Flame.

Ghoul's brain nucleus:

Sacrifice Value: 10 hours and 38 minutes Ember Flame.

Stitching the Demon's Heart Core:

Sacrifice Value: 13 hours and 23 minutes, Ember Flame, Purgatory Skill +1

……

How to operate, Su Nian understood in advance.

All you need to do is drag the items in the bag list with your consciousness and drag them to the burning blood-colored flames to complete the sacrifice and receive the sacrifice reward.

But Su Nian didn't do that.

The Returnees have stated on the web that many of the materials obtained in the Corrupted World could be sold to other Levy Warriors at a higher price.

These materials can be used for enchantment, alchemy, crafting weapons and equipment, and even alchemy, among other things.

The price of selling to other Recruited Warriors is slightly higher than the proceeds of sacrificing to the Infernal God.

He intends to find out the actual value of these materials before deciding whether to sacrifice them to the Infernal God or go to the trading area to sell them to other conscripted warriors.

Leaving the sacrificial area, Su Nian planned to return to the earth to report Su Rou's safety first, and then come back to dispose of the corrosive materials at hand.

Opening the map, he turned and walked towards the east side of the city.

After a long time, Su Nian stood still in front of a building.

This building is in the shape of a pyramid, more than ten meters high, all black, the surface is engraved with sinuous golden lines, the eyes sweep over the tower, the vicissitudes of ancient years come to the face.

This pyramid connects personal spaces, and when you climb the stairs, you will be transported to your own space room.

The personal space can be used as a warehouse or for resting, and there is a teleportation array connected to the earth.

After activating the teleportation array, you can return to Earth.

As you step up the steps, transparent water ripples in front of you, and weak resistance hits you from all directions.

He didn't stop and continued to walk up the steps.

When the figure broke through the weak resistance and passed through the ripples of the water, the vision was suddenly enveloped in darkness.

The darkness that suddenly appeared in front of him made Su Nian frown.

The returnees have described in detail the process of recruiting soldiers into their personal space on the Internet.

According to their description, the process of entering the personal space is extremely smooth, and after passing through the invisible resistance, there is a personal space field, and there is no description of the sight being wrapped in darkness.

This made Su Nian inexplicably uneasy.

"It won't be a problem again."

While worrying about this, the darkness around him faded like a tide.

When he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned.

What appears in front of you is not a pure white private space, and there is no blue teleportation array connected to the earth in the scene.

He found himself standing in the center of the ruined temple that often appeared in his dreams.
