Just when the name 'Glacier Crystal Corpse' flashed through Chen Ziyan's mind, the system's prompt sounded again.
【Ding! Choose to trigger! 】
[Choice 1: The wild goose plucks its feathers and takes the glacier crystal corpse away from the nine-story demon building. Reward: Kunlun Ancient Jade]
[Option 2: Play it safe and try your best to avoid the glacier crystal corpse. Reward: Meteoric iron (shapeable)]
Chen Ziyan didn't have much doubts about the content of this mission.
The first choice is easy to understand. According to his experience, this means that the glacier crystal corpse can be used as the main material of the puppet armor. Combined with the Kunlun ancient jade as a reward, choosing this is equivalent to giving him a new armor in disguise. Puppet armor.
Of course, the materials are ready and the production has to be done by yourself, but Chen Ziyan said that this is nothing as he already has sufficient experience.
Needless to say, the role of Puppet Armor goes without saying. Although its normal presence is almost zero, no one can deny that Puppet Armor does play an incomparable role at critical moments.
It's normal when you think about it. After all, this glacier crystal corpse is the first generation ghost mother in the Demonic Kingdom - Nian Xi Heiyan. She is also the most powerful ghost mother in history. She can definitely be regarded as one of the best in the main material of the puppet armor.
Chen Ziyan even speculated that if glacier crystal corpses could be used to make puppet armor, it would probably become one of his strongest supports.
The second choice means that they will make changes from now on and try to avoid staying close to the original plot line.
This coincided with Chen Ziyan's thoughts. He had no intention of following the original plot route at all. Since he already knew the information in advance, if he didn't avoid risks as much as possible, it would be the same as not having any foresight.
With that in mind, this is a great choice.
And the rewards are not bad. Meteoric iron is the top material for casting in this world. For example, the black gold ancient sword is mainly made of meteorite iron. From this, we can see the value of meteorite iron.
Not to mention that it also has the additional service of being able to be shaped, which means that he can skip the casting process and directly get a magic weapon.
But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Ziyan felt that things might not be that simple.
If he goes according to his idea, then this second reward will be a pure consolation prize. However, according to the usual behavior of the system, it would be a bit too generous to give such a reward as a consolation prize.
Therefore, he had reason to suspect that even if he chose the second seemingly convenient option, he would most likely encounter some changes.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but think of the original plot. Hu Bayi and the others were actually stuck here at that time. They chose to start with the iceberg crystal corpse because they no longer had an exact goal and didn't know where to go next. Walk.
And it was precisely because of this that a series of mechanisms were triggered, which led to the next path.
But now he looked at it from the perspective of a spectator, and found that no matter how he looked at it, this development had a sense of drama.
It's like... there's an invisible hand guiding you.
This made Chen Ziyan have to be on guard. Compared with Hu Bayi and others in the original plot, he didn't feel confused at this time, so if something really happened next, it must be that there was a third person who had never shown up. All three exist.
He even began to consider whether to take action now and find a way directly to the outside of the tower.
He knew clearly that the nine-story demon tower was different from the tombs in the Central Plains. It was not buried in airtight soil, but in a cave space under the ice.
So there must be a portal to the outside world on this lowest level, but it's just hidden.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan subconsciously glanced at the glacier crystal corpse lying quietly in the frozen soil pit, and there was a hint of hesitation in the decision in his heart.
Although he knew that the second option was more suitable, if Chen Ziyan was asked to give up a puppet armor that was easily available, Chen Ziyan would be lying if he said it was a pity.
After all, whoever uses the puppet armor knows the benefits of it, and there is another reason, that is, there are many Dapu ghost insects sleeping inside this glacier crystal corpse, which is a great opportunity for Chen Ziyan to replenish his fire sac.
"Mr. Chen, how about we take a rest first, eat something to warm ourselves up, and then figure out what to do next?"
Just when Chen Ziyan was hesitant, Hu Bayi said.
Seeing Chen Ziyan staring at the permafrost pit in a daze, he thought he was just like himself and didn't know what to do next.
Hu Bayi was now in the same state as in the original plot, and set his sights on the permafrost pit in front of him, which was the only clue.
After all, to him, the situation in front of him was already very clear. If he wanted to further explore this nine-story monster building, he could not avoid the eye-shaped crystal ball. And if he wanted to study this crystal ball, he had to first remove it. The Crystal Freedom Mountain statue was removed.
But Shirley Yang's words were still in his ears, and even he was a little scared. Who could be sure whether there really was any vicious curse in the statue of Crystal Zizai Mountain?
You must know that when they were tainted by the ghost cave curse, strictly speaking, they just glanced at the ghost cave.
So... we have to guard against it!
"Okay, let's take a rest first." Chen Ziyan nodded and agreed.
He really needs some time to think about it, this is also a choice for him.
Compared to Hu Bayi, who was full of fear, he knew very well what consequences would arise if he touched the Crystal Freedom Mountain statue.
That was an avalanche that could bury the entire area!
But while eating, Chen Ziyan suddenly realized that he had fallen into a thinking trap. Why did he have to make a choice now? Maybe he could change his perspective on the problem.
Just like completing multiple tasks at the same time before, this task does not have a specific completion deadline.
He could completely solve the problem of the ghost cave curse first, and then take the glacier crystal corpse with him when he returns.
Anyway, they had already opened the way to the underground world at that time. Even if it caused an avalanche, it would not have much serious impact.
If you can't go back the way you came, you might as well find another way out in the underground world.
After all, the space below this nine-story monster building is not a confined space. It is difficult for underground creatures to leave because they cannot climb the steep and smooth ice walls. But for them with professional climbing tools, this is not difficult at all. By then the way out will be eighty, if not a hundred.
Moreover, Chen Ziyan could have asked his puppet armor to take away the glacier crystal corpse, and the success rate would undoubtedly be higher.
More importantly, the puppet armor has a strong survivability. Even if it is really too late to evacuate, it can still come out on its own after being buried in the snow.
