Samsara Paradise: Shadow King

Chapter 146 The Hanged King’s Rope

The red meteor drew an arc and landed among the monkeys. After a loud roar, the broken remains of several apes were thrown to the surroundings with the impact of the explosion. The apes turned their heads and looked around with bared teeth. As expected, towards It was the "bipeds" that were full of disgusting smells that they attacked.

The monkeys roared and launched a counterattack against the Snake Eyes. Zhao Zijin stood on a high place, overlooking the battle, and gave the order to attack to the shadow soldiers hiding on the other side of the monkeys. In the blink of an eye, he walked out of the shadows. The "monsters" completed the siege offensive against the monkeys launched together with the Snake Eyes clan.

The beasts in the Bodhisattva Valley have high strength and agility attributes. Monkeys that are as tall as half a man jump on people, suppressing them until they can't get up. They will be torn into pieces in a moment. Some monkeys will also Using the weapons they picked up, there were not a few Snake Eyes who were hacked to death by them.

"According to the current progress, it won't take more than two hours to open the blockade of the Bodhisattva Valley by the monkeys. When the Snake Eyes clan's army comes to the border, let's concentrate our cutting-edge forces to kill the lion ape! If the Snake Eyes clan is still willing to sit down at that time If you want to talk to us, huh? Come at me, monkey!"

I saw a group of about twenty or thirty monkeys, breaking away from the battle and launching a surprise attack on him. It was unclear whether they were aware of Zhao Zijin's importance. They clung to the mountain wall with all their limbs and screamed. The ground ran quickly, and when the distance was close, it jumped up with its hind legs and rushed straight towards him.

Unexpectedly, the group of monkeys landed on a steel wire spider web that was difficult to see with the naked eye. They struggled to escape from it, but found that the more they struggled, the more the spider web tightened. At the same time, along with As the cobwebs trembled, a subtle sound was continuously amplified.

Finally, one of the monkeys finally discovered that on top of the spider web, a giant spider was looking at them indifferently and playfully with the eight eyes on its head. It seemed that it was tired of playing and was looking at its prey. The moment it looked at itself, the giant spider also stepped forward on its eight spear-like legs covered with barbs, and walked towards the monkeys.

It's getting close!

In addition to not being able to speak, these apes are no less intelligent than humans. They also have all the emotions that humans should have. The approach of the giant spider caused extreme fear and struggle in their hearts. Naturally, the strength of the attack was much increased, further tightening the spider webs wrapped around their bodies, and the steel wires cut into their flesh and blood, which in turn caused them severe pain and stimulated them to struggle even more.

It's getting close!

The apes can even smell the fishy smell from the giant spider's mouthparts. They howl in despair, calling for their Lord, hoping that their Lord will show up to drive away foreign enemies and protect their group as before.

From Zhao Zijin's perspective, the monkeys hanging by the spider webs lowered their heads one by one, indulging in illusions. Their bodies twitched from time to time, and blood flowed down the wires that were cut into the flesh, dripping onto the battlefield below. .

He shook his head slightly and shifted his gaze to those areas where the fighting was particularly fierce.

Although it is said to be fierce, it is actually just a resistance that the Snake Eyes and the Shadow Soldiers can break through with a little more effort. There are only two types of threats in the monkey group. In any natural life group, there will always be differences in body size. They are all different in height, short, fat, and thin. Among the monkeys, there are also those apes with excellent congenital conditions. They have a body shape that is far superior to that of the same kind, and their panel attributes are also much higher than them. They are the kind of monkeys that can easily be distinguished from silverbacks just by looking at their appearance. Gorilla confusion exists.

The former is one type, and the latter type is threatening. During the game, the "True Sword Master" double-sword white ape is often used to tease Isshin Ashina. They have not learned any human sword skills. , but as a beast, fighting is indispensable in their lives. Because of this, their knife-wielding skills appear so wild and dangerous.

Ashina single-mindedly conquered almost all the battles with the double-sword white ape. Fighting with these enemies with superb sword skills can very well polish his sword skills that are currently restricted by the "Binding Oath", and even absorb the influence on himself. Useful parts to perfect your own "New Wei Mingren".

The old man actually revealed to Zhao Zijin that the completed "New Wei Mingren" will break the limitations of "skills" and approach the category of "law".

Unexpectedly, except for the small group of troops they encountered accidentally, they did not encounter any battle with the inner government at all, as if the other party was afraid of the power they formed together and was deliberately avoiding them.

Just as Zhao Zijin was lost in thought, Paradise’s reminder sounded in his ears again:

[Contractor No. 14366 activates the item "The Hanged King's Rope". The intelligence attribute judgment failed and the hunter has been locked in position.]

[You have obtained a contract to be signed and its attachments. 】

Out of nowhere, a piece of straw rope pulled the sealed letter and fell into Zhao Zijin's hand. Subconsciously, Zhao Zijin tensed up the muscles in his body.

After all, in the reincarnation paradise, the riskiest thing is to sign a contract. In the hands of those old yin 13, contracts can be very tricky. If you accidentally respond to someone's greetings, you may end up with someone else. An extremely unfair contract was concluded.

Fortunately, even if the difficulty of the world has been improved in many ways, Zhao Zijin will not be in a situation where he can agree to the contract even if he receives it. The paradise also issued a copy of the contract without hidden terms, and there is nothing except signing with himself. Proof that there are conditions for establishing the contract other than the associated names.

After looking at the signature of the letter, it turned out to be Lao Mao. I didn't expect that she was still alive, and I didn't know what price she paid for the certificate provided by Paradise.

Even so, Zhao Zijin still couldn't completely let go. This was different from when he signed a contract with the two clover girls before. At that time, he was the one who made the contract, and his strength was much stronger than the other party, and he could firmly occupy it from beginning to end. Taking the initiative, it was different now. After checking it over and over dozens of times, he dared to open it carefully.

The contract was very concise and clean. It was written on a piece of white paper with no hidden lines and no interlayers. The contract content was simple and clear. Lao Mao briefly introduced their situation at the beginning. Apart from her, Baron and Shi Kaidu is still alive and has not yet fallen into the hands of Xianfeng Temple. During the pursuit and interception by Xianfeng Temple, they have exhausted all their means, but they still cannot get rid of the chasing soldiers, so they can only turn to Zhao Zijin for help. As long as Zhao Zijin provides them with rescue and promises not to engage in any hostile behavior with the three in the world, he will receive a [Blood-stained Large Prajna Sutra], two short knives [Rust Pill] and [Paper Man Drifting] In addition, there is a piece of information that can obtain a rare title in this world.

Lao Mao has now taken out almost all the gains in this world. Zhao Zijin has collected a lot of scriptures similar to the "Blood-stained Great Prajna Sutra" before. When the time comes to put several scriptures together, it will not matter. Know if something will be triggered.

Needless to say, the two short swords, [Rusty Pill] is a frequently used ninja tool in the game, especially the "green rust poison" that comes with it, which can also cause special damage to the Yujiamei clan. With it, it is extremely fast. The attack speed is high, it can deal decent damage while also displaying skill-like operations; the blade of [Paper Man Drift] is engraved with the words "Fenghun", and you can sacrifice your health to make a paper man that replenishes your mana. , it is also a very practical prop.

As for the last title, Zhao Zijin originally thought it was just the icing on the cake, but she didn't expect that this was Lao Mao's highlight. According to the information she learned from the upper echelons of the elemental front, although the effect of this title alone was very powerful, it could make The wearer of the title can move more easily in various derived worlds or the original world, but the real specialness of this title is that it can be integrated with other specific titles.

The title effects of the three titles can be strengthened and retained. Lao Mao did not explain this clearly, but he still mentioned that it would be a "god-level" title!

Every release of these things can arouse the interest of a large number of contractors, but now Zhao Zijin only needs to sign a name to be included in the bag, and then a series of rescues of Lao Mao, and not being hostile to him, etc. All actions are carried out on the premise that these things have already been in his hands and belong to him.

Is this reincarnation paradise of my own a fake? Why are the contractors here so honest when signing contracts?

Or is it that his charm attribute is finally working its magic, and he is so obsessed with this woman, Lao Mao, that he rushes to give himself things?

Zhao Zijin licked his lips. There is no doubt that there are pitfalls in this contract, but what needs to be admitted is that the temptation for him is also real. Lao Mao dug a trap in front of him without concealing it, and then threw it into it. After buying gold, silver and jewelry, tell him frankly, do you want it? If you want it, just jump down and pick it up!

So, should you sign this contract yourself or not?

In fact, the answer has been given a long time ago, it is obvious, isn't it?

While the difficulty of the world has increased, the rewards given by the park have never been unfair to itself. It can even be clearly found that the park is tilted towards its own resources. If you had any doubts before, after the emergence of long-term hunting missions, , and even the issuance of this certificate can confirm the conjecture in his mind.

Paradise is deliberately cultivating some special combat powers that are different from contractors and ordinary contractors, and he is one of them! Or, if I were to make a more shameless guess, I might be the most special one among them!

The goal of Paradise may be the so-called "Valhalla", or it may be something else. In short, it is a weapon created by Paradise in order to deal with a specific existence, just like an ordinary contractor. Just like making your own weapon, it can be bumped and polished, but you will definitely put effort into maintaining it because the contractor needs to use this weapon in battle.

The same goes for yourself. If it really breaks during the process of sharpening and forging, it means that you are not qualified as a "weapon". But now that Paradise has intervened, maybe Lao Mao just wants to give himself Adding another layer of psychological pressure, this just made Zhao Zijin confirm one thing - this contract will not directly destroy his "weapon", nor will it directly allow his "weapon" to be traded. Lord, controlled by others.

Zhao Zijin pointed his finger at the contract, and it was possible that his inference was just self-righteous YY, but who cares? Whether greedy or crazy, Zhao Zijin signed his name on this contract.

The scripture, the dagger, and the letter recording the information fell into his hands, along with the effects produced by the activation of two props.

[You are affected by the prop "Block Ghost Possession", and the effect of "The Hanged King's Rope" is activated. 】

[The world difficulty you want to experience is increased by 30%, and the income from mission rewards and other income is increased by 10%; if you are in the world of Sekiro, the world difficulty is increased by an additional 20%, and the income from mission rewards and other income is increased by 15%. 】

[You are affected by the item "Kuroro Amulet", and the effect of "The Hanged King's Rope" is activated. 】

[The world difficulty you want to experience is increased by 45%, and the income from mission rewards and other income is increased by 15%; if you are in the world of Sekiro, the world difficulty is increased by an additional 45%, and the income from mission rewards and other income is increased by 25%. 】

"Really, it doesn't give you any way to survive! Should I say that this prop deserves to be called the Hanged King's Rope?"

Although he was complaining, Zhao Zijin had a strange look of joy on his face.

Really are.

When drowsiness comes, give me a pillow! ! !

Great! ! !

Different from the reading sense of written words, after coming to this world, he finally realized the hardship of surviving in the reincarnation paradise, and also understood why those strong people were stingy with every resource in their hands and couldn't wait for it. Break a paradise coin in half and spend it.

Although compared to other undead types, Zhao Zijin, who has the [Shadow King] profession, does not need to spend much on shadow soldiers, but every step of his improvement requires a large price. It can be foreseen that now This is what it looks like. In the later stages, the resources you need to consume to improve your strength will probably be described as massive.

This is why he hesitates to postpone the improvement of his strength, but also invests resources in the production of equipment and medicines, and prepares to enter the trading market. His first step plan is to use his knowledge of mechanical engineering to establish a semi-assembly line. Form, produce a large number of high-quality and low-priced low-end equipment and medicines, squeeze the market, and then recruit this type of shadow soldiers with specific expertise, expand the scale and establish chambers of commerce, and enter multiple fields to carry out commercial activities.

It can be said that this is a way of supporting war through war. It is still a preliminary plan and it will take a lot of time to perfect. However, Zhao Zijin must act on it. Before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. In the future, he will definitely build a A powerful army of shadow soldiers, then the logistics that serve you and this army are very important!

The reason for making good friends with employees Clover and Ajia is also for this purpose. They need people other than shadow soldiers to carry out business activities!

But in the final analysis, the core of the problem is that Zhao Zijin's income in each world is insufficient!

He had noticed before that as the difficulty of the world increased, his own benefits would also increase. Even if the shadow soldiers he conquered were only slightly stronger, it would still be precious to him at this stage, so he decided to do it early. I focused on the two props in the Sekiro World, the Bell Ghost Pony and the Kuro Amulet. These two props can increase the income and difficulty of the game in the game. Unexpectedly, they still have amazing effects in the Samsara Paradise.

Of course, before the joy of increased income, the first thing he has to face is the rising difficulty of the world again. Just like now, he needs to face the lion ape that appears on the mountain wall!

　I work a lot of overtime at the end of the year, please forgive me.
