MTL - This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic-Chapter 338 Death's Tomb
Chapter 338 Death's Tomb
Light and shadow flowed, and the bodies of Mu You and Lin Xue appeared in the Castle of Dawn City.
The pet shop was closed yesterday, and Lin Hai happened to be unable to come, so Xiaoya could only stay in the shop and watch the door today.
On the other hand, considering the danger of this trip, it is not that the more people who go, the better. The strange abilities of the two people have not yet been figured out. If there are too many people who go, it will become a burden.
So Mu You didn't even bring Little Spider and Little Phoenix with him this time, only he, Lin Xue and Vivian came in.
Arriving at Dawn City, what was presented to them at this moment was already a Level 2 castle.
Circular towers soaring into the sky like sharp swords, with arched walls and carved skylights below, six conical turrets, surrounded by many decorative green plants, in addition to the statue around the hall The exquisite statues give this building a retro and mysterious style.
Compared with the gloomy and dilapidated LV0-level small dilapidated building, the current castle is truly a luxurious castle.
Mu You walked to the office desk in the middle, clicked on the "Book of the City Lord" and took a look.
The materials to upgrade LV3 had just been gathered in the morning, and Mu You directly clicked on 'Upgrade'.
The entire castle made a rumbling sound, and then, as if being controlled by an invisible big hand, the construction began automatically. Pieces of bricks, tiles, mud and stones automatically emerged, flying towards their supposed positions, fitting each other, the whole The castle changes appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye...
It takes a whole day to upgrade. Mu You took a few glances and stopped paying attention. He searched in the castle and soon found Shadow Wolf in the backyard kitchen.
When she found Shadow Wolf, she was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a table in front of her. On the table were several plates filled with various condiments, and she was holding a plate in her hand. Thin and evenly sliced crystal grilled meat.
Different from the imaginary gobbling, the shadow wolf held a bamboo stick in his hand, skewered the meat slices and dipped them in each plate, and then sent the meat slices to his mouth, chewing slowly, eating quite elegantly.
Hearing footsteps at this moment, Shadow Wolf turned his head and was startled when he saw Mu You appearing at the door.
"Master, are you going to fight already?"
Shadow Wolf also knows that they are going to the Undercity to do missions today.
"Oh, no hurry, you continue." Mu You shook his head, Lin Xue's mission will start in the afternoon, it's still early.
It is said that Mu You had only seen the name of Shadow Wolf in the text before, and this was the first time he had actually seen her, so he couldn't help but take a second look.
At this time, the shadow wolf is wearing a dark green light helmet, with a tall ponytail protruding from the back of the helmet, jumping and jumping, contrasting with the elf ears on both sides.
A silver moon scimitar hangs on his waist, and a purple longbow and elf quiver are placed beside him.
Unlike ordinary forest elves with fair skin and thin body, Shadow Wolf's skin is slightly dark, but it looks a bit like a dark elf. While maintaining a slender figure, his body is full of a sense of power and explosiveness. From the faintly exposed abdominal muscles around her waist, and her round and straight legs, it can be seen that this is a warrior born for battle. She should ride a night saber, gallop in the dark forest, and be able to hold a vulture bow , The moon shoots the cold river.
After telling Shadow Wolf the departure time, Mu You left the castle and found the scarecrow in the central square.
At this time, the scarecrow is already at level LV2. Compared with the original primary scarecrow, the daily experience limit has not been increased, but the number of attacks required for each point of experience has been reduced: originally 10 attacks to get 1 experience, now only 5 times, the efficiency of earning experience has doubled.
When the upgrade of the castle is completed tomorrow and the Scarecrow is upgraded to LV3, the experience points that can be obtained per day will increase to 1500 points. In addition, the "multi-player swiping" function will be opened, with a limit of 10 million people.
That is to say, 10 million people can scan the scarecrow together at the same time. At that time, the scarecrow will automatically open a virtual training field for each person.
During the upgrade process from LV3 to LV10, Scarecrow will increase the upper limit of daily experience and the efficiency of earning experience cross-wise, and will also continue to increase the upper limit of "multiple players".
For scarecrows who have reached LV10, the daily experience limit per person will reach 3000 points, and each attack can get four experience points. In addition, a maximum of 80 million people can swipe at the same time.
The upper limit of experience has increased by three times. Let’s not mention this for now. The main reason is that the efficiency has been improved too much, because brushing scarecrows consumes mobility, and it consumes a little every minute.
Based on the normal player’s attack frequency of three times per second, the LV1 scarecrow needs 55 minutes to brush, that is, consumes 55 action points every day to get full 1000 experience.
This efficiency is actually very average, and it is not even as good as mining. After all, mining not only brings a lot of experience, but also has reputation and extra rewards.
This is also the reason why the scarecrow has been hung here for so many days, but it has not caused residents to scramble for it. It is really not cost-effective.
But if it is a LV10 scarecrow, it only takes more than 4 minutes, which is 5 points of action power, to get a full 3000 experience per day!
This efficiency is definitely worth maxing out for the whole people. I believe that by then no player will miss the opportunity to farm scarecrows every day, and this will also become the main source of experience for ordinary players to upgrade in the future.
It's a pity that the upper limit of experience and the upper limit of attack increase are common among different scarecrows. Players who have accumulated full experience in Dawn City will not be able to continue to gain experience if they go to other cities to farm other scarecrows.
Next, Mu You and Lin Xue took advantage of their bodies in the Star Spirit Realm to quickly fill up today's scarecrow experience.
In addition to using all the experience books on the salary of the city owner in the last seven days, his current experience bar is: level 16 (43120/81920).
There is still 40,000 points left to upgrade. It can be seen that the scarecrow's experience is actually just a drop in the bucket. In the future, the upgrade will mainly rely on the daily salary of the city lord and the accumulated experience cards to find opportunities to concentrate on killing monsters.
Time soon came to noon, and the three of Mu Youlin Xueyinglang were ready to go.
Before departure, Mu You specially teleported to the vampire's grave, and took out the remains of Vivian and Grandma Lin Xue.
Next, they can pull up two legendary thugs at any time, which is their biggest killer.
However, as soon as Mu You brought the two bodies back in the ice coffin, he got bad news from Lin Xue.
"In the tomb of the **** of death, the power of the remains may not be available..."
"What?" Mu You was taken aback.
"To enter the tomb of the **** of death, you need to use a sickle to open the entrance, and this process will automatically sacrifice all the souls in the sickle..." Lin Xue said.
The first step in manipulating the corpse is to inject a large amount of soul points into the corpse, so as to 'resurrect' the corpse.
However, in the realm of the **** of death, entering the door will drain the soul points, which is undoubtedly tantamount to drawing fire from the bottom of the pot, directly blocking their way to "open up" unless they can temporarily collect enough soul points in the cemetery of the **** of death.
"Take it with you, just in case." Vivienne who was on Mu You's shoulder suddenly said.
After Vivienne finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xue: "After all, your grandma is also one of the heirs of the contractor lineage. She also tried to find the tomb of the **** of death, but she was entangled in various things during her lifetime and never found a chance. This time Just take her in for a walk, and it will be considered as fulfilling her previous wish."
Lin Xue was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, but she didn't refuse after thinking about it: "That's fine."
【You came to the Undercity. 】
Ten minutes later, following the prompts in their minds, the three of them appeared in Undercity, Lin Xue's rented residence.
As described in the text, this dark city is indeed a city of dark nights, with a dense night covering the city, a false man-made 'starry sky' overhead, and lights and festoons everywhere in the city, a bustling scene of a city that never sleeps.
The three of them didn't have time to appreciate the scenery here, so they immediately left the city as soon as they appeared, and rushed to the legendary tomb of the **** of death under the leadership of Lin Xue.
Mu You thought that the majestic tomb of the **** of death must be built in a sufficiently magnificent venue, just like the tomb of the vampire in Misty Mountain, which has many obstacles for ordinary people and is full of mystery and fear at the same time. Overwhelming and guarding, an existence that people dare not look at.
However, when they actually arrived at the place, Mu You realized that his mistake was a bit outrageous.
What Lin Xue brought them here turned out to be a long-abandoned mass grave. The surrounding area was dark, rotten, overgrown with weeds, and there were all kinds of human and animal bones and domestic garbage everywhere. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a garbage dump.
"Are you sure this is Death's Tomb?"
Mu You looked suspiciously at the tomb ahead.
The target location Lin Xue finally pointed out was this extremely inconspicuous mound in front of him. If it wasn't for the stone tablet erected in front of the mound, he would not even be able to recognize that it was a tomb.
"Well, the place where the scythe finally guides is here."
Lin Xue said: "However, this should only be a teleportation entrance. The real tomb may be elsewhere... According to the instructions of the final mission, as long as I insert the sickle in front of the stone tablet, the entrance will appear, but I have to wait for another competition." The action of the person, the entrance will only be opened if the inheritance of the two of us is activated at the same time."
"oh?"
Mu You stepped forward to observe.
The edge of the stone tablet in front of the tomb is weathered and incomplete. I don’t know how many years it has been there. There are no words or symbols on the stone tablet, but there is a vague pattern carved in the center.
Mu You identified it carefully, and found that the pattern was a figure in a black robe. The whole person was shrouded in a large robe, with a chain in his left hand and a sickle in his right.
In front of the black shadow, there is still a person kneeling down. The figure in the picture is using chains to pull out the soul of the person from the body, and at the same time, the sickle in the other hand is cutting towards the soul...
Seeing this pattern, Mu You immediately became more convinced that the red sleeve must be another descendant of the contract master.
The soul-slaying rope and the soul-slashing sickle, these are the two standard weapons of the Reaper, but now they are divided into the hands of two descendants!
"So that Hongxiu will find here later?" Mu You looked at Lin Xue and asked.
"I don't know yet, the mission goal only guided me to this place, maybe there are other entrances..." Lin Xue shook her head.
"so…"
Mu You thought for a while, took out the Eternal Night City map fragment from the ring, and glanced at the arrow on the back.
It turned out that the arrow was pointing in a certain direction without any sign of shaking.
Actually, when he first arrived in the Undercity just now, Mu You had already glanced at it, and it pointed exactly the same as now.
That is to say, the other fragments should be far away at this moment, at least there are no fragments near the Undercity.
"Let's hide it first and wait and see." Mu You breathed out and said.
There is no rush to activate this entrance. Anyway, it takes two people to open it at the same time. It is better to ambush first. In case the red sleeve really comes later, they can fight back on the spot.
It would be best if they could deal with the opponent directly outside the tomb, because outside they could use the power of the two corpses at any time, but if they entered the tomb, they would lose the strongest hole card.
Mu You's idea is very beautiful, but unfortunately, the reality is very skinny.
The three of them hid nearby for more than two hours and did not see anyone approaching, and the pointer on the map did not change.
"Tombstone lights up..."
Just as Mu You was hesitating whether to continue waiting, Lin Xue suddenly spoke.
Mu You turned to look.
Sure enough, at this moment, on the carving of that tombstone, the chain in the left hand of the God of Death has quietly glowed scarlet.
"It seems that there is another entrance..." Seeing this situation, both of them understood what was going on.
Obviously the opponent has already activated other entrances from another location, just waiting for the action here.
"Let's get started." Mu You looked at Lin Xue and said.
Lin Xue nodded, walked to the tombstone, held the handle of the sickle in both hands, and inserted the sickle into the ground below.
The moment the sickle was inserted, on the tombstone, the pattern of the sickle in the other hand of the **** of death also immediately lit up.
A ferocious grimace suddenly jumped out from the tombstone, struggling and roaring.
With the appearance of Grimace, the soul points stored in the sickle also quickly poured out of the knife, and all of them fell into Grimace's mouth, chewing and swallowing it indiscriminately.
The entire devouring process lasted for about three minutes before Grimace finally swallowed up all the souls. After a full belch, the ferocity on his face dissipated, revealing a rather weird smile.
Immediately, the whole face twisted and circled suddenly, and the speed became faster and faster, forming a black oval portal in place, which was full of twisted lines rotating at high speed.
The entrance appeared, Mu You tried to approach it, and a reminder immediately appeared in his mind.
【Warning: You are about to step into the Tomb of the God of Death, the upper limit is four people. The Tomb of the God of Death is a special area that is not restricted by the rules of the Astral World. The entrance only lasts for five hours. If you do not return within five hours, the entrance will be permanently closed. 】
"Five hours..."
Mu You glanced at Lin Xue, and Lin Xue nodded to him, indicating that there is no problem, and there is enough time.
After checking their belongings, several people stepped into the portal together.
As the scene in front of them blurred for a while, when the vision became clear, several people opened their eyes and looked again, and found that they had come to a gray world.
Mu You looked up, the sky was like a black curtain, without any starlight or moonlight.
The ground is made up of sand and gray gravel, and fluorescent ferns grow out of the cracks in the stones everywhere, acting as the only light source in this world.
This place gave people a strange feeling. Although there were plants everywhere, he couldn't feel any vitality, and he didn't see any animals or water sources, as if it was a dead world.
"This is... Outland." Vivian looked around at this moment and opened her mouth.
"Outland?" The three of Mu You looked at Vivienne in unison, obviously hearing this word for the first time.
"The rules of the astral world are different from yours. If you have seen the complete map of the astral world, you will know that the astral world is a world with a round sky and four sides are impassable boundaries. On the border of the map of the astral world Outside, it is Outland." Vivian explained.
"That is to say... this is no longer the Astral World?"
It was only then that Mu You realized that when he came in just now, there was no reminder in his mind, but in the astral world, there would be a reminder of the location every time he went.
In fact, he doesn't care where the tomb of the **** of death is hidden, but if this is not the astral world, there will be a very serious problem, that is, if you die here, you will not be able to resurrect.
