Inside the Scarlet Cave, the road is rugged and covered with corpses and bones, making it look like a man-eating demon cave.
The dark wind whistled against the rock wall like a steel knife scraping across it, causing the entire scarlet cave to roar loudly.
Although the rock wall no longer oozes blood, there are no face monsters or scarlet chimeras coming to block the way again.
But the eerie scarlet cave still gives people a strong sense of terror.
This feeling goes deep into the bone marrow and is a pressure from the soul.
because……
Get to its essence.
The countless scarlet caves that dot the scarlet land like stars are the concrete embodiment of the scarlet authority.
As for the nature of the Scarlet Power, Li Xiya is the only one who understands the nature of the scarlet power among all the players in the survival game in this era.
Because he is the Scarlet Lord.
So he knew in his heart that blood, violence, killing, and madness were the eternal tone of the Scarlet Authority.
Even if the Scarlet Cave is already empty, the scarlet authority rules engraved in the Scarlet Cave are not so easily ignored.
certainly……
These coercions, strong on the outside and weak on the inside, are just paper tigers.
Li Xiya was not embarrassed at all.
Under the illumination of the magic light talisman, the scarlet cave ushered in light after a long absence.
The three-person team quickly followed the rugged road and explored in depth.
Half an hour later.
The road began to diverge, like a mine, with three forked roads in front of you.
Li Xiya did not choose to divide his troops. Splitting his troops to explore in this unfamiliar environment would naturally save some time, but this would intuitively weaken their respective combat effectiveness. Once in danger... Haha, what is the difference between this and courting death?
"Daddy, which way should we go?"
Celia asked.
Li Xiya said casually:
"Just go in the middle!"
"okay!"
After the three-person team made up their mind, they continued to go deeper.
A quarter of an hour later.
After passing through the end of the mine, everyone was greeted by huge potholes one after another.
Li Xiya turned around and found that the other three roads had the same destination.
"Isn't this taking off your pants and farting?"
Li Xiya complained.
"Daddy, look!" Celia pulled on Li Xiya's clothes.
Li Xiya turned around again when he heard this: "Why..."
Before he finished speaking, he noticed three beating hearts that were exuding scarlet power under the pit.
The scarlet power emitted by these scarlet hearts caused a strange red light to appear around them, and even the air was filled with a fishy-sweet smell.
This is explained in the Crimson Land's special rules.
Knocking the scarlet heart will get various resource rewards, but you can only do three things, otherwise be careful with your brain?
Brain?
This last half sentence is very thought-provoking!
Li Xiya has confirmed one thing before. Not all special rules are true, but there are also lies.
But it's weird that things don't go beyond three.
because……
There are only three scarlet hearts in this giant pit inside the scarlet cave.
so……
What happens if the number of taps reaches three?
What will happen if the number of knocks does not reach three?
This is a question worth exploring!
Li Xiya, who is an expert and bold, plans to give it a try.
It's not that Li Xiya likes to be in danger, but because of the boss's first kill reward.
The Scarlet Land is a materialized kingdom of authority, which is different from the kingdoms of authority that existed in other bosses that Li Xiya killed before.
The same goes for bosses.
For example, bosses such as the Slime King and the Eye of Cthulhu appear as soon as the player enters the Kingdom of Authority and launch attacks against the player without stopping.
But ever since Li Xiya set foot in the Scarlet Land, the boss hidden behind the scenes had no intention of showing up. He only made some small moves to send his army of enemies to interfere with him.
This doesn't make sense.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiya wants to break the rules.
That's right!
Break the rules!
On other people's territory, it is very foolish to abide by other people's rules.
He wanted to lure out the boss hidden behind the scenes as soon as possible and win the boss' first kill reward.
After coming back to his senses, Li Xiya said:
"You guys give me a break from the top. If anything unusual happens, you'll attack directly. Do you understand?" Li Xiya stared at the scarlet heart in the hole and ordered without even turning his head.
Celia: "Don't worry, godfather, I know it well!"
Skybreaking Gargoyle: "Yes, Commander!"
Li Xiya summoned the wind blade wings and soared into the bottom of the hole closest to him.
The light from the scarlet heart shone on Li Xiya's body, making him look hateful.
Being in such close contact with the Scarlet Heart, Li Xiya heard an extremely strong heart beating sound in his ears. This beating sound was quite strange, as if it was pulling his heart to beat with the frequency of the Scarlet Heart.
Li Xiya took a deep breath and took out the gravedigger's shovel to dig.
"boom!"
"boom!"
After several attempts, it was discovered that the Scarlet Heart was motionless and impossible to mine with the Gravedigger's shovel.
Li Xiya then took out other tools and tried them one by one, and found that they still could not cause any damage to the Scarlet Heart.
It seems that it is not easy to tap the Scarlet Heart and obtain resource rewards, right?
Li Xiya looked at it for a moment, showed a sneer, and took out a bomb from the Ivy backpack.
That's right!
It's the bomb!
Since the tools cannot mine, I want to see if your scarlet heart can still be safe in the face of bombs.
Li Xiya summoned the wings of the Wind Blade, dropped the bomb, and quickly flew into the air.
Three seconds later.
"boom!"
A dull loud noise echoed in the scarlet cave.
When the smoke dissipated, Li Xiya took a closer look.
[Congratulations to the player for tapping the Scarlet Heart and receiving x1 deadly gun and x100 musket bullets]
The scarlet heart has long been broken, and the notification sound is ringing in my ears.
A deadly gun?
Li Xiya suppressed his curiosity and repeated his old tricks, continuing to use bombs to blow up a scarlet heart.
[Congratulations to the player for tapping the Scarlet Heart and receiving x1 Scarlet Wand]
Li Xiya did not explode the third scarlet heart immediately, but retreated to the mine.
because……
At this moment, there are only the last five minutes left after twelve hours.
If tapping three scarlet hearts really causes the boss to appear, this time point should not be exactly twelve hours.
Because one of the special rules of the Crimson Land says that players must not spend more than twelve hours on a single exploration adventure.
If something unexpected happens due to this rule during the boss battle, it will be more of a loss than a gain.
Li Xiya asked everyone to sit down and rest for the time being.
He took out a red revolver from his ivy backpack.
[Name: Deadly Gun]
[Type: Weapon]
[Using ammunition: bullets]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Attack: 19+2]
[Attack +2]
[Agility +3]
[Attack speed +10%]
[Knockback rate +10%]
[Crit rate: 4%]
[Durability: 200]
[Specialization requirements: Remote E]
[Note: As one of the advanced weapons of the shooter profession, the deadly gun is only a conventional weapon, not a magic weapon, so the deadly gun does not have any active or passive skills]
[But professional shooter players who focus on long-range damage may not need those cumbersome skill embellishments, because the superposition of attribute terms such as fire rate, knockback, and basic attack makes this deadly gun weapon stand out among the same weapon levels. Still possesses super power]
One hundred musket bullets and a fatal gun are the rewards given by striking a scarlet heart.
These rewards are obviously outdated.
In addition to the use of musket bullets, even if this deadly gun is praised in the comments, it cannot change the fact that the Scarlet Sand Gun crushed it.
But this is understandable.
Not to mention that Li Xiya is the first person in regional channel 9527, a scarlet master who can enhance scarlet assimilation of weapons and accessories, and a civilized angler who can fish for treasure boxes.
It is common for the quality of equipment to far exceed that of the first echelon.
Moreover, regional channel No. 9527 has won the first place in multiple regional channel competitions, and has received rewards covering all channels, such as the Triumph Week and choosing three from five hidden rewards.
This is why the average strength of players in the entire regional channel is far higher than that of players in other regional channels.
Logically speaking, the deadly gun is suitable for this stage and is the weapon for most middle-level players in regional channels.
The Crimson Land is a large special biome for all regional channels, so it is not incomprehensible that the weapon quality is average.
Thinking of this, Li Xiya stored it in his ivy backpack, then took out a scarlet wand and looked at it intently.
[Name: Scarlet Wand]
[Type: Magic Weapon·Special]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Active skill: Instant · Scarlet Rain Cloud (launches a 2x2 square meter scarlet rain cloud into the sky, lasting for 1 minute, causing a range of 12 points of basic attack damage per second to all enemies, and the attack is fixed with bloody slaughter reduction) Benefit: Causes 4 points of damage per second, lasts for 2 seconds) Current number of stackable layers: 1 layer) Limitation: Only one scarlet rain cloud can exist at the same time in a single release]
[Durability: 200]
[Specialization requirements: Mage E]
[Remarks: The concrete product of the scarlet rules is a special magic weapon that cannot be synthesized in the unconventional formula series of the scarlet land. It is suitable for magicians of any element. It is a relatively rare staff weapon]
"Um?"
Li Xiya touched his chin and smiled:
"I didn't expect that..."
The only active skill engraved on this scarlet wand is actually the instant scarlet rain cloud.
You must know that this skill is the specialty of the Scarlet Mage Tower, and Li Xiya has already experienced its power.
But now, this scarlet wand can actually release scarlet rain clouds, and it does so instantly.
However, there is also a flaw, that is, the scarlet rain cloud released by the scarlet wand can only exist alone.
In this way, whether it is instant or not is meaningless.
Keep it, it is a rare magic weapon after all, and its collection value is pretty good.
Li Xiya stored it in his ivy backpack, and another minute passed on the minute hand of the gold pocket watch in his hand.
Since then, the three-person team has set foot on the Scarlet Land and has spent a full twelve hours exploring.
but……
After waiting quietly for a while, no rule prompt appeared.
The twelve-hour limit is like a decoration.
Could it be?
Li Xiya suddenly remembered the various prompts that appeared when the number of enemies killed exceeded one thousand.
Contrary to the rules, invalid?
At first, Li Xiya thought that only the effective parts of these two rules were invalid.
Now it seems that all the special rules may have been invalidated after realizing his identity.
But this is fine, since there are no special rules and you can show off your talents when you move around.
etc.
Li Xiya seemed to have thought of something, glanced at the Ivy backpack again, and took out a piece of barbecue that exuded an alluring smell.
This is a piece of monster meat that Li Xiya obtained from killing the Scarlet Chimaera before.
This resource is even rarer than vertebrae.
At first, Li Xiya thought these were just ordinary materials, but when he was sorting out the resources, he suddenly realized that the problem was not that simple.
[Name: Monster Meat]
[Type: Food·Permanent Improvement·Soul Binding]
[Effect: After the player consumes it, the upper limit of the summoning bar is permanently +1 (the upper limit of consumption is 0/1)]
[Specialization requirements: General F, Medical F]
[Note: The Scarlet Chimera, which absorbed too many souls, used the enemy's stumps and severed arms to sew up strange enemy creatures like face monsters]
[But at the same time, the Scarlet Chimera also uses the absorbed soul to breed a unique monster meat resource. After the player consumes it for the first time, it can permanently increase the upper limit of the summoning bar. It is a rare resource that is very popular with summoning players]
Li Xiya grinned.
this……
It's really hard to find anything without trying to find it, and it takes no effort at all to get there!
Ever since he killed the Slime King to get royal delicacies and the summon bar was improved, it had been a long time since he had obtained resources that could improve the summon bar.
did not expect……
The three-person team just went to the Crimson Land to kill rare types of enemies, and actually dropped a piece of monster meat that could increase the upper limit of the summon bar.
Not bad, I like it!
Li Xiya immediately chose to use it.
[Summon Column: 2→3]
After sorting out the harvest, Li Xiya stood up:
"Celia, little stone, get ready for battle!"
After giving the instructions, Li Xiya went directly to the hole where the last scarlet heart was, and used the same method to destroy it with bombs.
[Congratulations to the player for tapping the Scarlet Heart and receiving Rage Potion x1]
While the system prompts for harvest, another prompt follows.
【warn! 】
[Player Li Xiya from regional channel 9527, tap Scarlet Heart x3]
[The first heart: "Shuddering, creepy..."]
[The second heart: "Screams echoed in all directions..."]
[The third heart: "Choose one between the scarlet altar and the scarlet abyss..."]
[The balance of fate is open to you, please make your choice]
[Option 1 Scarlet Altar: Obtain the gift of the Scarlet Sequence, change your job and become a member of the Scarlet Sequence who controls the power of blood and killing! 】
[Option 2: Scarlet Abyss: Enter the Scarlet Abyss, face and challenge the Brain of Cthulhu that lives in the scarlet cave. If you fail, you will completely become a scarlet plaything]
【There is not much time left for you】
【Please make your choice! 】
[Option 1/Option 2]
