Chapter 24: The Resurrection of the Dead
The sudden appearance of the shadow prompt made Su Nian hesitate.
At this time, choosing to cover the node is to grab food in the hands of the God of Purgatory.
Although it has been analyzed before, the Purgatory God has very limited monitoring of the recruited warriors who enter the corrupt world, but it does not mean that there is none.
If he is discovered by the God of Purgatory, his fate will be extremely miserable.
But capturing the source of corrosion is a huge allure for him, even if it is only one of the five nodes that combine to form the source.
As long as he can capture all the nodes, it means that he can earn 2520 embers every day while lying down.
This is more profitable than exploring the Decay World in the early stage.
Even if you hang up, you can have more growth resources than many rookie recruits.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Nian sighed helplessly:
"Forget it."
How to choose between risk and huge returns, he finally chose to be safe.
A gamble can indeed bring huge benefits, but failure means that he will completely lose the opportunity to turn the tables.
As long as he can resist the temptation, he can grow rapidly in the future with the advantages brought by the Shadow Godhead, and it will not be too late.
Even after having enough resources, he can make creatures from other worlds become his shadow recruits by conscription, collect resources for him in the Decaying World, and some ways to earn Ember income.
So at this time, it is the most correct choice.
During this time, he must not do anything risky to expose the Shadow Godhead.
With the thought in mind, Elder Su breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to look at Ji Yun who was still rummaging in the sarcophagus:
"Ah Yun, let's go, the next node."
"Oh, good." When Ji Yun heard this, he jumped down from the sarcophagus.
Just as he was about to turn around, Su Nian heard camp prompts sound one after another:
[Faction Tip (Infernal City): Capture Special Scene Node (2/5)]
[Faction Hint (Purgatory City): The self-protection function of the source of corrosion is activated, and the bone warriors affected by the corrosive power of this node within the scene are awakened, and the blood city is about to be attacked by the bone warriors, and the source of corrosion needs to be destroyed as soon as possible to block the connection. 】
At the same time as the camp prompt sounded, the skeleton warrior continued to stand in the pile of bones piled up outside the city.
Dressed in tattered armor and armed with shattered weapons, they staggered in the direction of the Blood City.
These skeletal warriors have no autonomous consciousness and act only on bloodthirsty instincts, and the Corrosive Node is the source of their power to transform from dead to dead creatures, and now the two nodes that carry corrosive energy have been destroyed one after another, causing them to be activated in their sleep.
At this time, Su Nian, who rushed to the gate of the Blood City, looked outside and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The Bone Warriors, who stretched for miles, had already surrounded the Blood City and were approaching in the direction of the Blood City, and there was no way to evacuate ahead unless it was to kill a bloody road.
But in the face of an endless stream of bone warriors, killing them will only die faster.
"It's spectacular."
Seeing the skeleton warriors densely surrounded in front of him, Ji Yun was surprised, but he didn't panic at all.
"Ah Yun, go back to the city and look for the other three nodes."
When the words fell, Su Nian turned around and ran towards the city, and Ji Yun also followed at this time.
In the face of the life and death crisis, Su Nian's heart was pounding.
He had seen the Returnee's description of the source of the corrosion on the Internet, which mentioned that some of the sources of corruption gave birth to primary consciousness, and after being destroyed, they would manipulate all the corrosive creatures in the scene to attack the intruder.
It's just that the probability of encountering it is extremely small.
He didn't expect to be bumped into by him on his second exploration.
Now there is only one way to survive in front of them, and that is to destroy the remaining three corrosive nodes before the bone warriors pour into the city and completely surround them.
If you don't succeed, there's no chance of escape.
He had no clue where the remaining three nodes were, and could only run like headless flies on the road covered with ruins.
"Brother Nian, act separately and find the node to connect it to the signal with the spirit guide."
Ji Yun's figure suddenly accelerated at this time, running in another direction, and at the same time, a camp prompt sounded in Su Nian's mind:
[Faction Hint (Purgatory City): Whether to establish a consciousness mark connection with the Faction Conscription Warrior Ji Yun consumes the item "Spirit Guide" with it. 】
"Yes!"
made a choice, and there was an extra bubble in his spiritual world, and the avatar of the bubble was Ji Yun.
The spirit guide is a very important communication tool in Purgatory City.
Before entering the decaying world, Su Nian had seen the returnee's introduction to the spirit guide on the Internet.
This item can be understood as a friend voice channel in the game, which needs to be purchased in the store of Purgatory City for 100 blood embers, and can be used to establish a consciousness connection with the target, and only need to touch the bubble with the consciousness to communicate with the connected object in the same scene.
Looking at Ji Yun who had turned into a phantom and left, Su Nian knew that he had opened the talent of time control.
Turning around, he gritted his teeth and quickened his running, his gaze quickly scanning the wreckage of the building in front of him, desperate to find the node sarcophagus.
At this moment, Su Nian had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly stopped his running, and his figure drew several meters away from the ground.
"Hunting feast!"
He thought about the initial ability he had gained after opening the Godhead sequence "The Butcher".
The effect of this ability is to allow his consciousness to scan flesh and blood life within a 10-kilometer radius and mark it for hunting.
In addition to this, there is another potential function of this ability, which is the consciousness perception map.
By perceiving the map, he can get a general view of his surroundings.
He closed his eyes at this moment, and the butcher's feasting ability turned on.
Similar to what he felt when activating the Butcher sequence, the sensation of consciousness spreading was like a soul unsheathed, and he could clearly feel his consciousness gushing out of his head, spreading rapidly.
Consciousness perception is presented in the mind from a high-altitude bird's-eye view, and the picture is like a movie from the old days, gray and not very clear, but you can roughly see the surrounding environment.
As the perception map expanded, the viewing angle gradually increased, and scattered blood-colored light spots appeared on the map.
Each point of blood represents a flesh life that can be hunted.
Among them is Ji Yun, who is in a hurry.
After his consciousness came into contact with the point of light that represented Ji Yun, the analytical information emerged:
[Human]:
Target Message: Earthly beings marked and recruited by the Infernal Gods, with ancient Old Era bloodlines.
Target comprehensive strength evaluation: Blackstone one star.
Hunt Bonus: 29 Blood.
……
"Old Era bloodline?"
Is it referring to a lost prehistoric civilization?
Time was limited, Su Nian didn't think about this problem, and his consciousness quickly swept over the ever-spreading map from a perceptual perspective.
At this moment, black-and-white miniatures of three sarcophagi appeared in the northwest direction of the perception map.
Su Nian opened his eyes suddenly, took a step and ran wildly to the left.
"Found it!"
