This skin does not have a lifespan task, but this 'survival of the fittest' talent is really powerful. The lower the lifespan, the faster it can evolve to adapt to the current harsh environment. Simply put, the owner of the talent will basically not be affected by the harsh environment around him. Die from harsh environment.
Of course, if you suffer physical or magical attacks, hunger, bleeding, etc., you will still die.
[Your skin quantity is full. Do you want to use the Vampire Count skin to devour this skin? Note: After swallowing, the skin's talents and curses will be fully inherited, and an additional random curse will be obtained. 】
This skin talent is also a talent that can benefit combat, and like the Vampire Count, it has a 'scorching sun' restriction during the day, so it can basically only be used at night, and can be swallowed directly with the vampire skin.
[You merged the 'Servant Rodney' skin into the Vampire Count skin. 】
[The fusion is successful, your Vampire Count skin has gained the talent 'Survival of the Fittest' and the curse 'Greed'. 】
[Fusion Curse Randomly... The Vampire Earl's skin has acquired the curse 'High Myopia': the scenery three meters away is blurry to you, you'd better get glasses as soon as possible. 】
Mu You raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, the talent this time was very powerful, and the curses that were randomly generated were not weak. The curse of myopia would be fine if it was a life-type skin, but it would have a huge impact on combat skins.
"Backtrack!"
Mu You pressed his pocket watch and rolled the curse again.
[...You have obtained a random curse 'Memory of Death': every time you die, your maximum health will be permanently reduced by 100 points. 】The first website address is p://m.biquke.
"Backtrack!"
[...You have obtained the random curse 'Silver Fear': Silver instruments are your weakness, and once you are stabbed by silver instruments, you will suffer high damage. 】
"Looking back..."
…
The next batch of random curses were indeed very powerful. After Mu You randomly searched dozens of times, he finally picked out a relatively less terrifying curse.
[Death Punishment: The experience and lifespan you lose each time you die is increased tenfold. 】
A tenfold increase may seem scary, but in fact, it means losing one year of lifespan once you die, to ten years of lifespan. After all, lifespan can be obtained infinitely. No matter how much you deduct, it will still make up for it. The chance of coming back, unlike the previous one that deducts the upper limit of health, cannot be replenished, and will become less and less until the body becomes a glass bottle that dies at the touch of a touch. That is the truly terrible curse.
Besides, it's not that easy to kill him under a vampire's skin.
So Mu You stayed at this curse and did not continue to do it randomly.
After collecting the skins, the next step is the highlight reward: Heart of Mist.
[Heart of Mist: Create a large-scale annular fog around you. The scope of the fog can be controlled. People in the fog may become disoriented. 】
This thing is indeed the source of the fog around Misty Mountain. Mu You has personally experienced the effect of fog. It can be said that if he didn't have the jack-o'-lantern, it would be impossible to find the entrance to the tomb.
To put it bluntly, this thing is an escapist artifact. No wonder the vampire clan needs this thing. With its cover, these shady vampires can open clan meetings normally.
It is a very powerful treasure, but if Mu You takes it away directly, the fog in the Misty Mountain will disappear, and the tomb will be exposed to the eyes of most people, so usually the bead must be stored in the Misty Mountain first, and it will be used when it is really needed. Take away and use.
After looking at the two trophies, Mu You didn't take a break. He controlled the character to get into the fireplace and prepared to go to the top of the mountain to take a look.
The dwarf blacksmith also left him a map of the top of the mountain before. It is said to be the location marked on the map, which shows the storage location of a piece of 'cold iron essence'. This thing is a necessary material for repairing the synthesis furnace. Now that it is available, The ability to survive on the top of the mountain, Mu You was ready to get this thing back immediately to avoid long nights and dreams.
[You climb all the way up the stone chimney. Ten minutes later, you finally reach the chimney exit. 】
[You have arrived at the top of the misty mountain. 】
[Under the severe cold of the snow-capped mountains, your health begins to decline rapidly...]
[...Your health has dropped to one point. Under the influence of the survival of the fittest talent, your health has stopped depleting. 】
[Although you have been so cold that your hands and feet have sores, your consciousness is blurred, and the bones and flesh in your body have almost stiffened into lumps of ice, you are still tenaciously surviving...]
Mu You shivered in the study. Under the influence of pain sharing, he could clearly feel the stinging pain from the extreme cold around his body, as if countless tiny needles were pricking his body.
The pain that is reduced by ten times is the same. It is really hard to imagine the level of pain that the game characters in the opposite star world are experiencing.
[With trembling hands, you took out the 'Rudimentary Map of the Misty Mountain Top' and started looking for the location marked on it along the map...]
[You found an 'Ice Spirit Grass', which is a relatively rare ice spiritual plant that only grows in extremely cold snowy mountains. It is an important ingredient in many frost potions...]
[Cut with the sickle, you collected 'Ice Spirit Grass'*1 and medicinal herb essence*1. 】
…
[You found a 'Snowball Cattail', which is a cattail fruit growing on snowball grass. It looks like a dandelion. The cilia on the surface are snowflakes made of ice crystals. They will fly to other places with the cold wind. , until it blooms and bears fruit again, it is one of the main materials for refining ice resistance agents...]
[Cut it with a sickle, and you collected 'Snowball Cattail'*1 and medicinal herb essence*1. 】
…
There are many ice-type spiritual grasses on the top of the snow mountain. Plants that can survive in such cold weather are often relatively rare, and it is completely worth the effort to pick them. Unfortunately, because his body was frozen and ordinary mounts could not withstand the temperature here, Mu You could only walk on two legs and moved very slowly. It took about half an hour to pick a medicinal herb.
Fortunately, because it was too cold, there were basically no monsters to be seen on the top of the mountain. Even if he was wandering back and forth with a little blood, he didn't have to worry about being attacked.
[After trudging all the way through the ice and snow, you finally arrived at the location marked on the map. 】
[You searched around and found nothing...]
[You searched around and found nothing...]
…
When he arrived at the place, Mu You jumped around the area more than ten times, and even sprinkled a handful of lucky dust, but still failed to trigger any text prompts.
Normally, if there is metal hidden in such a plain sight, it should be easy to find it under a jack-o'-lantern.
"Has it been taken away by someone?"
Mu You couldn't help but think of this possibility.
After all, hundreds of years have passed, and there is a chance that someone has been nearby and discovered the Iron Spirit.
But he didn't give up that easily. After all, the dust was all used up. The reserve of this thing is not much now. Only the last bottle and a half is left, which can be used about seven times. The key is that after the moth fairy disappeared, the dust was gone. He was very unwilling to use the supplementary method once but get nothing from it, so he expanded the search range and continued searching nearby.
Fortunately, after searching around the area, he actually found some clues.
[Under the strong glow, you see some strange hexagonal snowflake-shaped ice crystal traces on the ice and snow in front of you, extending in one direction and disappearing into the night. Do you want to follow them? 】
"Snowflake shape?"
Mu You was stunned. He thought he had found some kind of footprints, but it turned out to be just traces.
"Track it!" No matter what it is, you have to go and see it first.
[You follow the traces of hexagonal ice crystals and soon arrive in front of a snow cave. The traces disappear into the dark snow cave ahead. 】
[You choose to step into it. This is a carefully carved ice and snow cave, surrounded by walls made of smooth ice crystals, and underfoot is a flat, mirror-like frosty ground. 】
[You see an irregular stone pillar placed deep in the cave. The top of the stone pillar is condensed with ice crystals to form a snow nest, and a spherical silver metal is placed in the snow nest. 】
[This is a piece of cold iron essence. This active metal, like a mass of unconscious slime, squirmed in the snow nest. As it collided with the surrounding frost, the surface of the metal set off ripples that looked like water waves. 】
Han Tiejing, I found it indeed!
However, the description in this text is a bit strange. The iron spirit was stored in a snow cave, and this snow cave was actually 'smooth as a mirror'. From the description, it seemed as if it had been artificially created.
Are there still people living on this snowy mountain?
[You walk deeper into the cave and come to the snow nest, wanting to pick up the iron spirit. 】
No matter what, now that I have found Tie Jing, I must not let him go, so I will collect it first.
However, he didn't expect that just when he was about to succeed, an accident happened.
[Just when you touched the metal, you suddenly heard a 'Fu' cry from behind. 】
[You subconsciously looked back. What appeared at the entrance of the snow cave was a little fox with silver hair. When he saw you stealing the iron spirit, he immediately bared his teeth at you angrily, and then raised his paws. The next moment , countless ice spikes emerge from the cave, flying towards you one after another. 】
[The stiff body caused your movement speed to be greatly reduced. You were unable to react in time and were instantly hit by countless ice spikes, losing your last bit of life. 】
[You have died, experience value -100, life span -10 years...]
"Depend on!"
Mu You's eyelids twitched when he saw it. Sure enough, there was something living here!
He hurriedly pressed the pocket watch, and then clicked 'Life Barrier' on the panel as quickly as possible.
[Time passes, you go back to five seconds ago, and immediately cast a 'Life Barrier' on yourself with a wave of your staff. 】
[Due to the influence of the extreme cold state, your singing speed is 300% slower than usual. 】
[The cry of the fox reappears, and in the next second, countless ice spikes form around you, flying towards you like thousands of arrows piercing your heart. 】
[Fortunately, your spell was completed first. 】
[The protective barrier rises around you, blocking all ice spike attacks for you. Amidst the crisp collisions of countless frosts, you maintain your last bit of life and remain standing. 】
[You took advantage of the five seconds when the barrier took effect to place the dark teleportation array aside, then took away the metal on the stone platform and jumped into the array before the next round of attacks arrived. 】
[Before teleportation, you turn around, and the white fox is already very close to you. At close range, the omniscient crystal feeds back the other party's information to you. 】
[Water Spirit (Ice Form) (Complete Body): An elemental creature condensed from the pure water element. Due to being in an extremely cold environment for a long time, it mutated into the Ice Spirit form and has evolved into a complete body. It possesses a high degree of intelligence and a certain degree of evolution. It has the ability to shape, and can call the surrounding ice elements to fight, and has good combat effectiveness. 】
[With a feeling of dizziness, you returned to the secret room of the tomb...]
"Ice spirit?"
Mu You was surprised. He thought the little fox was some kind of beast that lived on the ice sheet, but it turned out to be an elemental creature?
And unlike the fire spirits and thunder spirits we saw before, this ice spirit has evolved to its complete form! Not only does it have the ability to transform, but it also has quite strong combat power.
The mature fire spirit owned by Coke's previous owner added 6 points of fire talent to the bearer. According to this rule, the complete ice spirit can add at least 8 points of water talent!
In other words, if you can get this ice spirit, even his novice water talent can be promoted to the top level in an instant!
Mu You admitted that he was moved.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to capture this ice spirit, especially on the top of the snow mountain, which is completely the ice spirit's home field. Ice elements are everywhere, and its attacks are easy to come by, making it difficult to parry.
However, Mu You's movement speed and spell casting speed will be greatly reduced on the snowy mountain, and he will not be able to use 10% of his abilities. The most important thing is that he still only has a little health. When fighting, he is basically the same as before, and he has no time to do anything. They will be beaten until they run away with their heads in their hands.
Suddenly unable to think of a solution, Mu You had no choice but to ask Vivian for advice on Bing Ling's weaknesses.
"Bingling..."
Unexpectedly, Vivian also shook her head after hearing this: "If you want a complete body, you don't have to hope too much. Elemental spirits need to be cultivated from an early age before they can fully obey humans. Wild complete ice spirits already have extremely powerful abilities." With high intelligence, even if they are captured, they will not make a contract with anyone."
After saying that, Weiweian paused and added: "However, it is precisely because it is extremely intelligent that although it cannot make a contract, you can treat it as a real 'person'. If you can let it be with you, If you let go of your guard and develop trust, you will have the opportunity to let him help you with some things, such as helping you understand spells. In short, it is a relationship similar to employment, not master-servant."
"so……"
Mu You nodded, but smiled bitterly in his heart.
In short, if you want to get Bing Ling's help, you need enough favorability. However, he just stole the iron spirit in front of him. From the description, the iron spirit seemed to be raised by the ice spirit as a child and was snatched away in front of him. "Child, it's strange that this ice spirit doesn't hate him to the core. How can he have any favorability?"
"pity……"
Mu You shook his head and didn't regret it for too long. After all, he had already obtained the iron spirit he needed most. As for the ice spirit, it would be best if he had it. If he didn't have it, he would just have to learn less magic. It's not a big loss.
After the matter was settled, Mu You immediately teleported to the dwarf blacksmith with Han Tie Jing.
[You have arrived at the blacksmith's door. 】
[The dwarf blacksmith was awakened by your knocking on the door and got up angrily to open the door for you...]
[After receiving the three bottles of unknown wine as a gift from you, the dwarf blacksmith’s attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and he invited you in very politely...]
This old blacksmith is much easier to deal with than the Pandaren, and he can drink happily just by giving him a few bottles of modern wine.
[You take out the synthetic furnace and the cold iron essence you just obtained, give them to the dwarf blacksmith, and ask him to repair the furnace for you. 】
[The blacksmith looked at the fist-sized living metal in front of him, emitting an extremely cold breath, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion. When he placed the iron essence seedlings on the snowy mountains, they were only the size of soybeans. He didn't expect that in just a few hundred years, they would grow into mature iron essences as big as a fist...]
Looking at the blacksmith's emotion in the text, Mu You felt even more guilty. The iron spirit's ability to grow so fast was probably related to Bing Ling's long-term warmth and nourishment. As a result, so many years of hard work were stolen by him. No wonder The ice spirit would act so angry.
[The blacksmith brought the synthetic furnace into the workshop, lit the fire, and started working. 】
[The synthesis furnace is being repaired and is expected to be completed in seventeen hours...]
The repair took a long time, so Mu You temporarily left the blacksmith shop.
Originally, he was going to go back to the old lady's place to have a look, but he was halfway there when a message that surprised him suddenly popped up in the game.
[The Hydralisk guard you installed on the Ghost sent you a message: The Ghost seems to have been attacked by an enemy just now. You'd better go back and take a look as soon as possible. 】
"oh?"
Mu You raised his eyebrows. The Ghost was attacked. This was the first time since he got the pirate ship.
But today is already Thursday, and the ship should be approaching the Evil Spirit Sea. There must be many pirates near the Evil Spirit Sea. Could it be that other pirates have targeted it?
Without any time to think about it, Mu You immediately returned to the blacksmith and went to the ghost ship through the teleportation array.
[You appear in the captain's cabin of the Ghost. 】
[You walked out of the captain's cabin and saw a panic on the deck. There was a smell of gunpowder smoke, and some parts of the ship's hull were slightly damaged. 】
[The forest guardian is raising his thick tree man arm and smashing magic stones in a certain direction in the distance. 】
[A skeleton soldier on the crew saw you and hurriedly ran to you to report the situation: The Ghost discovered another sea ship ten minutes ago. The crew obeyed your order and did not attack it, but instead avoided it. But what I didn't expect was that just now, another ship appeared behind the Ghost and launched a long-range bombardment directly at us. 】
Two ships came at once? Attack from front and back?
Mu You frowned, but instead of giving orders in a hurry, he summoned the war eagle in the game and sent the war eagle to fly high into the sky to inspect the situation.
The news that came back surprised him even more.
[Through the perspective of the war eagle, you see the front, rear, left and right of the Ghost. There are vague shadows of sea ships in all directions, floating in the mist on the sea. 】
[After taking stock, you find that there are a total of eight ships flying pirate flags nearby, surrounding the Ghost in the center in a standard octagonal formation. 】
Eight ships!
Mu You had a strange look on his face. He was not being attacked. He was clearly surrounded...
It was said that this was his first appearance in the Evil Spirit Sea, and no one knew him. If there were only aboriginal pirates on the other side, it would be outrageous to dispatch eight pirate ships at once to encircle and suppress him.
So, are the things around here the work of players?
Just as I was thinking about it, a new prompt popped up in the game.
[The player 'Emperor' applied to add you as a friend, do you agree? 】
