After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 136 The sacrifice of the intermediate rare objects [Meteor Sword Amulet] and [Unnamed Ship Sculpture]! (Please subscribe)

Looking at the prompts on the panel in front of him, Ryan's eyes widened slightly.

"Wait a minute, just kill the 'Hanged Man' of unknown origin. How does it have anything to do with the 'Spirit Man' born from the Golden Tree?"

"The units related to the "Spirit Man"...could it be said that the source of that weird black heart comes from here?"

Ryan's eyes looked thoughtful.

To be honest, after knowing the conditions for "awakening" [Holy Relic·Blood Embrace], he was already prepared that he would not be able to "awaken" it for a long time in the future.

After all, the existence of the "Spirit Man" involves the Golden Tree, and the Golden Tree is the starting point of the career in this world and the supreme existence that weaves the "Golden Law". Even if it is only a derivative of the Golden Tree, it has not reached the fifth level. Before the legend, even if they met, Ryan would not be his opponent.

It is still unknown whether the fifth-level legend can even touch the "Spiritual Man".

But what Ryan never expected was that now he would actually come into contact with something related to "Spirit Man".

After carefully checking the prompts on the panel, Ryan's eyes stayed on the words "preliminary awakening" for a long time.

"Because those killed were not spirit beings or units related to "spiritual beings", so the awakening of [Holy Relic: Blood Embrace] was not a complete awakening, but a preliminary awakening?"

"In order to fully awaken, we need to kill more units related to spirit people, or in other words, do we need to actually kill one spirit person?"

Ryan speculated in his mind.

Then, he stopped thinking about it and focused his attention on the [Holy Relic·Blood Embrace] after the "initial awakening".

-

[Holy Relic: Embrace of Blood (Initial Awakening): In order to express his infinite thoughts for [Charming God of Benevolence], [The King of Blood] picked the thinnest filaments from the sacred tree... and this hatred was integrated into Among the holy relics, even after so many years, they have not weakened at all.

Equipment requirements: [Physique] ≥10.0

[Blood Embrace] has a maximum blood gas storage limit of 200 points. It can be automatically restored after consumption, and 20 points can be restored every hour. You can also speed up recovery by consuming your own blood (the higher the blood quality, the better the recovery effect). Current health: 200/ 200.

[Blood Embrace] features adaptive resizing and has three different forms: melee, ranged, and defensive.

——Melee: Consume 50~100 health to form a blood sword (can be converted into other types of melee weapons. The quality is based on the user's [Physique]). The attack has tearing and blood flow effects. The more health consumed, the higher the damage. When the health is full, it can be accompanied by strong tearing and bleeding effects.

——Remote: Consumes 50~100 health to form a blood spear (quality is based on the user's [Physique]). After focusing for 3 seconds, it will have a "locking" effect. If the throw hits, it will cause penetration and bleeding effects. The more health consumed, the higher the damage. When the health is full, you only need to focus your gaze for 1 second to have a "locking" effect, and when attacking shield-type abilities, the penetration will be increased.

——Defense: Consume 100~200 HP to form a "blood core" (the quality is based on the user's [Physique]). Until the "blood core" is broken, the enemy's attacks cannot have an effect on you. The more health it consumes, the higher the damage it can resist. When the health is full, if the enemy hits the "blood barrier" spread out by the "blood core", it will trigger a "recoil", making itself freeze. The higher the enemy's attack, the more health it consumes. The backlash is getting stronger.

Clues to the memory: the hunting of ‘spiritual people’ or individuals related to ‘spiritual people’. ——The extremely strong hatred has affected this holy relic. Only the blood of ‘spiritual people’ or creatures related to ‘spiritual people’ can dissolve this hatred little by little, allowing the ‘blood’ to bloom with its initial power. Current progress: 0/1 (spiritual person) or 1/10 (creatures related to "spiritual person")]

-

Looking at the new introduction in front of him, Ryan felt a strong surprise in his heart.

After the "preliminary awakening" of [Holy Relic·Blood Embrace], all the statistics have increased significantly.

First of all, the most basic and important upper limit of "blood energy" has been increased from the original 100 points to 200 points, which has doubled.

Secondly, there are three different modes of attack: blood sword, blood spear and blood core. Not only can the damage be determined by consuming the amount of "blood energy", but also when the full blood energy is released, additional power will be generated. Effect.

Among them, the most important things to Ryan are the "Spear of Blood" and the "Core of Blood" - now that there is the [Great Sword·True Red Crown Horn], the "Great Sword of Blood" is just a matter of importance to Ryan. A backup weapon of last resort.

The "Spear of Blood" cast with full health only takes 1 second to cause the throw to have a "locking" effect. This is very important. For a long time, Ryan has been in fierce battles whenever he needs to use the "Spear of Blood". At that time, in that situation, there was no 3 seconds for him to "lock on", so whether he could hit the enemy or not depended entirely on his own skills.

When facing large monsters, the success rate of "Blood Spear" is extremely high. However, when facing humanoid or even smaller creatures, the hit rate of "Blood Spear" is very worrying. .

Ryan does not have throwing skills, so the ability to "lock" an enemy in just 1 second is very suitable for him, not to mention that the full-blooded "Blood Spear" also has shield-type abilities. Extra penetration effect.

As for the changes in the "blood core", Ryan was even more surprised.

On the one hand, the thickened "Blood Barrier" when full of health allows him to withstand more attacks. On the other hand, the "Blood Barrier"'s counterattack stuns the enemy, which can also create excellent attacks for him. Chance.

As a greatsword swordsman, the speed and frequency of attacks are naturally inferior to those of one-handed weapons such as long swords and one-handed swords. Every attack of Ryan must be just right, so that the enemy will not catch the flaw.

The transformed "blood core" satisfies this point very well.

It can even be said that it is overly satisfying.

"The growth direction of [Holy Relic] seems to be closely related to the user?"

Looking at the dark gold blood-patterned gloves on his hands that gradually dimmed and became duller, Ryan couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

This is not his speculation out of thin air, but the [Holy Relic: Blue Medal] is in front of him.

Especially when [Holy Relic: Lord Azure] is awakening, its specific effects and panel display are only revealed after a period of transformation and adaptation based on his situation.

Maybe, this is one of the characteristics of [Holy Relic]?

Ryan thought so.

After investigating the changes in [Holy Relic·Blood Embrace], Ryan sat cross-legged on the ground, bathed in the light of the bonfire, quietly waiting for the final time of the special mission to pass.

With nothing to do, he took out the [Holy Seed] and after thinking about it, decided not to take it for the time being.

This thing can not only permanently increase the upper limit of spirituality, but also greatly increase the upper limit of spirituality within a short period of time after taking it. Although it is not permanent, it is enough to greatly increase his combat effectiveness when he is in the "spiritual burst" state.

More importantly, when in the "Spiritual Explosion" state, his [Spirituality] will reach 10.8, reaching the minimum threshold for using "True Charged Slash".

Although reaching the threshold does not mean that it can be used, at least there is a chance to use it, right?

Of course, it would be best if Ryan did not use [Holy Seed] like this within a day.

In the future, after his [Spirituality] naturally breaks through to 10.0, he will be able to master the "True Charged Slash" naturally. This is the best.

Time passed by minute by second. When the last second of the day passed, Ryan glanced at the four Huang Bings who were still in coma, shook his head slightly, and silently thought "The Palace of Subversion" in his heart. Three seconds later, everything around him A thick gray fog emerged, and before the teleportation started, Ryan reached out and grabbed the four Huang Bings.

The next second, the gray mist flashed past, and before the entrance to the ninth floor of the underground maze, Ryan and others disappeared.

All that's left is the pits and pits on the ground, reflecting the fierce battles that took place here.

……

When the fog in front of my eyes fades.

Ryan opened his eyes, and what he saw was the familiar dim underground hall.

The candle in the corner burned quietly, and the length of the candle body remained the same, as if it had never become shorter.

Ryan put down Huang Bing and the other four, and turned to look at the doll girl sitting quietly on the chair at the end of the long brass table.

A gentle voice with unique magnetism sounded with praise: "You have completed the task brilliantly. Within one day, no one entered the ninth floor of the underground maze."

The puppet body of "Red Kite" crossed its hands on its lower abdomen: "After completing this special mission, within three years, you will no longer be forced to accept the signs of the special mission. You can choose to accept or give up on your own. In addition, you have been promised to You can choose to receive your reward, Zifeng, now, or you can receive it together later after Huang Bing and others wake up."

"Middle-level rare objects are very precious and rare. Therefore, you can tell me your needs, and I will try my best to satisfy them and choose the ones that are relatively suitable. However, if it cannot be satisfied, I can only randomly select a mid-level rare item as a reward for the task. .”

Ryan nodded, understanding this deeply.

Intermediate-level wonders, not to mention natural wonders, are only man-made wonders. Their forging requires at least fourth-level extraordinary level materials as the main materials, supplemented by various rare materials.

Its high cost is enough to make any third-level hero professional shocked and dumbfounded.

Naturally, the number of such treasures cannot be too large.

Originally, Ryan thought that "Red Kite" would not honor the reward. After all, there were five of them, that is, five mid-level rare items...

But I didn't expect that "Red Kite" not only fulfilled the promise, but also fulfilled it so readily.

After pondering for a moment, Ryan spoke up: "Is there any mid-level magic item like a talisman? In terms of effect, the damage reduction is the best. If you don't have it, don't force it. Just do whatever you want. If there is no such type, mid-level magic item like a ring." Things are fine too.”

Ryan has entrusted Master Golden Hammer to forge rare objects like rings. Because the process is cumbersome, it is impossible to tell how long it will take to complete it. He can only wait for the message from Master Golden Hammer, but he has an idea. Relatively speaking, Ryan is more A talisman-like wonder.

"You'd rather choose..."

"Red Yuan" smiled: "However, if this mission can be completed, you should take the lead. Naturally, I will try my best to meet this requirement."

"There are mid-level talisman-type rare items in the inventory, but there are no damage reduction items. Let me think about it... Well, this is it. It should be suitable for you. Take a look."

While talking, "Red Kite" took out a metal amulet with a somewhat strange shape.

Its main body is a hanging white one-handed sword, and the background of the sword body is a spherical star.

"This is a mid-level rare item that can bring temporary blessings to your weapons, namely sharpness, toughness and weight. You can try it yourself later."

Ryan took the skin care product and looked at it carefully, and the introduction of the panel also appeared in front of his eyes at this moment.

-

[Meteor Sword Talisman]: A mid-level rare item, a powerful talisman forged from meteorite fragments that fell from the sky as the main material, supplemented by various precious ores. When using it, you need to draw your finger across the edge of the amulet sword, and then brush the weapon with blood to make the weapon gain a directional improvement - sharpness +30%/toughness +30%/weight +30% ( Only one of the three effects can be selected, lasts for five minutes, and can only be used three times a day.)

-

A mid-level magical talisman with simple but extremely powerful effects.

There was strong amazement in Ryan's eyes.

Sharpness, toughness, and weight are extremely important attributes of weapons, and for different types of weapons, there is a clear tendency for the demand for these three attributes.

Dexterous one-handed weapons such as long swords and knight swords focus on sharpness, because their single attack power is not strong and they need to be sharp enough to cause greater damage.

Toughness is an attribute required by weapons that require frequent combat.

As for weight, it is exclusive to heavy weapons. The heavier the weapon, the more horrific damage it can do with a single swing.

For weapons like great swords, weight is the most important, followed by toughness, and finally sharpness.

"You can choose different blessing effects according to different battle scenes."

Ryan mused.

"Looking at your expression, you should be quite satisfied with this amulet." Chi Yuan's magnetic voice came: "Thank you for your hard work on this special mission. If nothing happens, I will leave first."

"I will come back later when Huang Bing and others wake up."

"You can choose to leave on your own. The teleportation point is set a few kilometers outside the north gate of Santos City and outside a small village." Ryan nodded to understand.

In the blink of an eye, the figure of "Red Kite" was shrouded in gray fog. When the fog disappeared, her doll body also disappeared without a trace.

Ryan looked away.

The special mission was completed and Chi Yuan had left. There was no point in him staying here.

Ryan glanced at the four unconscious Huang Bings on the ground. They could not attack each other in the "Overturned Palace" and there was no need to worry about the safety of the four people. Thinking of this, he also chose to "exit".

……

The gray fog circulated, and when the vision returned to normal, Ryan had appeared on the edge of an uninhabited village.

He looked around and after confirming that there was no one within a hundred meters, he let out a breath.

Ryan did not leave in a hurry, but stood there and used the "Dark Moon Demon Pattern" to contact Freni.

This time when they entered the underground maze, except for the detailed communication between the two at the beginning, they only reported each other's safety every three hours. Ryan did not know the specific situation on Freni's side.

Now that I have some free time, I can have a good chat with Freni, tell her the information about my trip, and let Miss Witch help analyze it.

Compared to Freni, Ryan's understanding of the world of professionals is still too shallow, and as a [scholar], Freni knows far more secrets than Ryan.

With the activation of the "Dark Moon Demon Pattern", Ryan soon got in touch with Freni.

"Mr. Lane, we have just collected a rare magic plant inside, which can be used as one of the auxiliary materials for the [Scholar Path] third-level profession."

"We have collected a lot of third-level potion auxiliary materials including [Pirate Path] and [Soldier Path]."

Freni's tone was full of excitement, and then she sighed: "Unfortunately, the main ingredients of the third-level potion are too precious, and I haven't seen them on the third floor of the underground maze. I think they should be in the deeper layers. The underground labyrinth."

"Captain." Listening to the good news from Freni, Ryan's face was not too happy, but he said in a solemn tone: "This special mission of the 'Overturning Palace', I have some important things. Discover."

"The destruction of the underground labyrinth gave me a very strange feeling of uneasiness. My suggestion is that you and Miss Cecilia should leave the underground labyrinth as soon as possible."

After listening to Ryan's words, Freni on the other end was silent for a second, and then replied seriously: "Okay! We will return to the surface immediately."

Out of trust in Ryan, Freni didn't even ask, but decisively chose to evacuate.

It is true that if you continue to explore deeper underground mazes, you will gain greater gains, but no matter how great the gains are, they are not as important as your own life.

Freni knew the general content of Ryan's special mission, and also knew that Ryan and several other members of the Overturned Palace went deep into the eighth floor of the underground maze.

Ryan's suggestion now shows that the situation deep in the maze is definitely not simple.

After briefly understanding the situation, Ryan hung up the contact - the consumption of "Dark Moon Demon Pattern" was borne by Freni, and the consumption was quite large. Unless he had no choice, Ryan would not have a long-term relationship with Freni. Calling.

Phryne and Cecilia are returning to the surface, much to Ryan's relief.

As he said, the underground labyrinth gave him a feeling of extreme danger.

No one knows how many floors there are in the underground maze, and no one knows what kind of terrifying monsters live in its depths.

Rather than taking risks, at this time, retreating from the rapids is the wiser choice.

If you are not moral, directly robbing the pirates and adventurers who have harvested something and returned to the surface is the fastest way to make a fortune.

Compared to the underground maze, the danger of dealing with these pirates or adventurers is much lower.

If he really meets someone suitable, Ryan really doesn't mind doing this.

After all, he has already worked as a [pirate]. Robbery, ahem, no, it should be "rob the rich and give to the poor" or something like that. Isn't it a normal thing?

Ryan did not go far, but found a wooden house in an uninhabited village that seemed to have been uninhabited for many years as a temporary shelter, quietly waiting for the return of Freni and Cecilia.

With the "Dark Moon Demon Pattern" around, Freni can find his location, so there is no need to worry too much about this.

While waiting, Ryan was not idle.

The space ring on his finger flashed, and five strange objects appeared in front of him.

They are: [Ring of Black Eclipse], [Ring of Energy Resistance], [Bloody Flintlock], [Great Sword·Ferocious Ice Flower] and [Umbrella Fire Scale Armor Set].

These five low-level rare objects followed him throughout his battles and made great achievements.

It's a pity that as Ryan's strength increases, the enemies he faces are getting stronger and stronger. They are only of low-level quality. Gradually, they are no longer of any use and there are better high-level replacements.

Ryan decided to sacrifice all five low-level rare objects to the [Unnamed Ship Sculpture].

Today, the repair rate of [Unknown Ship Sculpture] is still the original 1%, without any change.

There are only two ways to improve the repair rate of [Unnamed Ship Sculpture]. One is to find the "anchor point", and the other is to absorb the spiritual essence contained in the strange object and slowly repair it.

The search for the "anchor point" is unlikely to be achieved in the short term. As for absorbing rare objects, Ryan's previous rare objects were too scarce and he was not equipped enough to use them for sacrifice.

After all, even if the repair rate is improved and his life is lost, it will have no meaning at all in the end.

Now that there are extra rare items, Ryan naturally wants to try and see how much the sacrifice of low-level rare items can improve the repair rate of the [Unknown Ship Sculpture].

Looking inside, Ryan could see the jet-black ship sculpture that was quietly suspended in the deepest part of his body.

With a thought, "Sacrifice" was activated, and a faint black light appeared on the surface of the ship sculpture. The next moment, the five strange objects in front of Ryan turned into fly ash and dissipated, leaving only the five purest spiritual essences, which merged into Ryan body of.

Of these five spiritual essences, the one from the [Umbrella Fire Scale Armor Set] is the largest, while the others are almost the same, with no obvious difference.

As the spiritual essence was integrated into the [Unnamed Ship Sculpture], soon, the panel gave a prompt in front of Ryan's eyes.

-

【Unknown Ship Sculpture】

[Level]: Damaged (repair rate 7%) - Absorbing spiritual essence can slowly restore and improve.

[Function]: Attachment lv.1, Shelter lv.1, Travel lv.1

-

Looking at the panel in front of him, Ryan was stunned, and his raised fingers began to tremble.

Although he had already prepared that the improvement in repair speed brought about by sacrificing a low-level rare object might be very low, after all, the panel also clearly reminded, [This rare object contains a weak essence of spirituality, which can be improved after absorption] The degree of restoration of the unknown ship sculpture].

But Ryan didn't expect that the so-called "weak" would be so weak.

An ordinary low-level rare item can only increase the repair rate by 1%, while a high-quality low-level rare item can only increase the repair rate by 2%.

In other words, if they were all ordinary low-level rare objects, one hundred pieces would be needed to complete the repair of the [Unknown Ship Sculpture].

One hundred low-level rare items! Although there are many more low-level rare objects than mid-level rare items, one hundred items is an astronomical number. Ryan even doubts whether there are so many low-level rare items in the Santos royal family's treasury.

"Tsk..."

Ryan smacked his mouth and shook his head helplessly.

Unless he could rob the treasure house of the Santos royal family, he would have to wait until he found the "anchor" of the mysterious island to complete the restoration of the [Unknown Ship Sculpture].

As for the possibility of robbing the royal treasury of Santos...

Thinking of what Freine had described to him, about Princess Water Drop's suspected fourth-level strength, he instantly gave up the idea.

A true fourth-level extraordinary professional is different from the parallel import that "The Hanged Man" has become. It is a jump in level. Just take the former blood witch Serena as an example, and you will know that the real fourth-level professional How powerful are extraordinary professionals.

Right now, Ryan had no chance of defeating a fourth-level extraordinary professional.

"Ugh……"

Sighing, Ryan lay on the floor of the wooden house, quietly waiting for the return of Freni and the other two.

After returning from his last trip, Ryan had been guarding the eighth floor of the underground maze for twenty-four hours. Now there is only more than one hour left before 0 o'clock.

After the two girls returned and discussed it with them, he could prepare to start a new round of travel.

Although the city of Santos seems to have stabilized at the moment, the uneasiness in Ryan's heart is getting stronger.

It takes more strength to make him gradually feel at ease.

……

Santos City, central area, royal palace, deep underground.

The Water Drop Princess Ariel stood quietly under the tree, looking up at a bloody fruit condensed on the treetop.

At this moment, the surrounding blood pools have covered all the roots of the central tree, and as time goes by, the level of the blood pools is still rising slowly.

The surface of the bloody fruit has enchanting lines, shaped like a closed eye.

"The conditions have finally been met. Next, it depends on how long you can endure it..."

Waterdrop Princess Ariel's gaze looked to the east, seemingly penetrating countless obstacles, and landed on the dust-covered "Sacred Scale" at the top of the main hall of the Libra Holy Church, which still exuded a hazy light of light gold. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth smile.

A black kitten squatted on her shoulder, its amber pupils reflected the person in the ice coffin.

"We will definitely succeed!"

The ice coffin was thick and the surface was not smooth, so one could barely see a slender figure lying inside the ice coffin.

She crossed her hands and placed them gently on her lower abdomen. Between her hands, she held a gem shaped like a drop of water, with a halo of mist.
