Chapter 913 The Cave of the Styx

"Here, let's take a look, and...be careful."

After playing with it for a few times, I threw the bracelet made of poisonous flower vines to Gott.

He hurriedly caught it, and at the moment of touching it, Gott couldn't help but shudder. The adventurer's intuition seemed to remind him that the thing in his hand was not a dangerous item that could be touched casually.

However, driven by curiosity, he still took it firmly, weighed it gently and took a look at the properties, and was shocked when a sticky object hung on his nose.

Bracelet of Poisonous Flower Vine

Resistance to poison +150%

Agility +70

+966-1258 poison damage

5% life stolen on hit

Enhance poison damage by 35%

Well, by the way, the current poisonous flower vine is still an elite level two. Compared with the elite level it just completed after the skill fusion was completed, the elite level has not changed. However, compared with the attributes of the bracelet it turned into after the fusion, it is in front of you. The properties of the bracelet in Gott's hand are obviously more than two or three times more powerful.

Although I don’t quite understand this change, according to my guess, the huge change in attributes is caused by the poisonous flower vine constantly devouring corpses and accumulating energy during this process. As mentioned before, the poisonous flower vine and Xiaoxue They have embarked on a different evolutionary path. Xiaoxue and the others must continue to fight to advance, while the Poisonous Flower Vine evolves by accumulating energy by devouring corpses.

Now it seems that the incidental attributes of the bracelet made of the poisonous flower vine are not only affected by the elite level. Some of the values ​​​​will increase with the more energy accumulated in its body. When it is first fused, the poisonous flower vine's The food intake was zero, there was no energy at all, and the attributes were naturally a bit low. I remember the attributes at that time: the resistance to poison was only 50%, and the agility increased by 30 points. The biggest change was the poison damage. At first, it only came with dozens of A little poison damage, and now this damage value has suddenly expanded to four digits.

Due to this huge change, coupled with the telepathy between the poisonous flower vine and the poisonous flower vine, I vaguely felt as the owner that perhaps the energy accumulated by the poisonous flower vine could soon upgrade it to the elite level three. .

"This is... this is... what on earth is this?"

Gott stared at the [+966-1258 poison damage] attribute. His mouth that could usually blurt out some silly words was now trembling, and he couldn't even speak fluently.

Thousands of points of poison damage are already comparable to one of Druid's favorite fourth-level transformation skills - [Rabies]. When this skill is upgraded to levels ten or twenty, the additional poison damage will be lost. In other words, After wearing this bracelet, Linya's sword damage was equivalent to a Druid's ten-level rabies damage.

Of course, the biggest function of the Rabies skill is infection, and it is famous for its group damage, but this cannot be compared.

It's no wonder that even the boss-level Baal servants can be killed instantly with a sword. Even if it is an elite-level Baal servant, after being weakened by Gott's belief, he doesn't know whether he can survive a sword attack.

Here is a bit of common sense among adventurers, that is, the combination of Paladin's faith and poison damage has the best effect.

Regarding the knowledge of the four elements of damage, I am afraid that all adventurers have kept it in mind during their students. The damage of ice and fire is relatively stable, and has significant negative effects. One delays the speed, and the other reduces attack defense and hit.

The more alternative ones are lightning and poison damage. Everyone knows that there is a huge difference between the minimum and maximum values ​​of lightning damage. For example, let's list a set of elemental damage of the same level.

+4-7 points of fire damage

+2-5 points of cold damage

+1-18 points of lightning damage

+12-16 poison damage

The levels of these four sets of additional elemental damage are actually almost the same level. It can be seen that lightning damage takes over the minimum damage value and the maximum damage value. In other words, lightning attack is actually a kind of character that pays more attention to character. Attack method.

Finally, let’s look at poison damage. There is no doubt that its average damage output is the largest among the four elements, and the maximum and minimum values ​​are not as different as lightning damage. The overall average damage output is relatively stable, but as I said before Many times, poisons are greatly affected by anti-poison ability. If the enemy's anti-poison attribute is high, no matter how strong the poison attack is, the poison attack will be discounted several times.

Therefore, the additional poison damage with an average damage of 14 points is only at the same level as the frozen fool with an average additional damage of 3 or 4 points, and the same level as the fire damage with an average damage of 5 or 6 points.

Therefore, from the above conclusion, it is estimated that even a fool can see that the deep stakes between the poisonous damage and the paladin's aura of faith are simply indescribable.

Well, of course, there is another disadvantage of toxins, that is, the negative effects they bring to the enemy are much smaller than those caused by freezing fire lightning attacks. Toxins damage Ali's negative effects, which can weaken the enemy's physical strength and cause nausea and fatigue. It feels like it, but apart from the former being more disgusting, with the will of the adventurer, the minor troubles caused by the latter effects can be completely ignored.

Karina also came over to take a look. Like Gott, she was also stunned by the powerful properties of the poisonous flower vine bracelet.

At this moment, the poisonous flower vine seemed dissatisfied that it was being held by an orangutan. Without my order and without any warning, it released the bracelet transformation, flashed with green light, and disappeared from Gott's hand.

Instead, there was a huge flower vine that was as thick as a bucket and tens of meters high, like a towering green tree with no branches, standing tall in front of Gaut.

Looking at the torso of the poisonous flower vine that was so close, its limbs clasped together with both hands constantly rolling, at the same time, from dozens of meters in the air, the venom dripping from the wide, circular, jagged mouth of the poisonous flower vine fell on Gaote. There was a sizzling sound on his helmet.

Slowly, there was originally only one sticky substance on Gott's nose, but it turned into two.

He seemed to finally understand what the "be careful" the other party said when he threw the bracelet to him meant.

"Hiss~~~~"

Letting out an angry hiss, the poisonous flower vine looked down at the "little bug" at its feet, then opened its big mouth, jumped straight to the ground, and swallowed the dazed Gott in its mouth with a grunt.

Chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew.

After chewing for more than ten seconds, it seemed that the gorilla was too unpalatable. The poisonous flower vine made a hurtful sound and spat out Gott, who was covered in suspiciously sticky green liquid, and twisted his mouth. Turning around, the target fell on the dozens of corpses of Baal's servants that had not yet disappeared on the snow not far away. The huge body slowly rolled over. After swallowing a few corpses, it lost interest. The green light flashed and turned into a bracelet again. In my hand.

"..."

I originally thought that the poisonous flower vine was the best to raise, but now it seems that is not the case. Recently, this guy's taste has changed, and even the monsters here in Harrogas can't look down on it.

"Wu, tell me, what's going on? What on earth was that big wet tree just now?!!"

With a suspiciously viscous green liquid flowing all over his body and having been spat out by a poisonous flower vine, Gott got up from the ground, like a frog that had just emerged from a smelly ditch, and approached me with a cry.

"Well, wait, I'll explain it to you properly, but not before."

I pinched my nose and reached out to stop Gott who was about to step forward.

"My only request is that you don't come near me until then."

"Wha...what?!" Gott was angry.

"You bastard, who's fault is it that I'm like this? Are you telling me?! Right, Karina, you will make the decision for me. Only you will not dislike me like this."

Gott glared at me sadly, and then looked at his wife with confident eyes.

"Well... of course... we are husband and wife. No matter what you become, I will never dislike you."

Karina responded in an angry tone with a subtle smile.

"Yes...really?"

Gott showed a stiff smile that made people feel sad, and walked towards his wife step by step.

"Well... Karina, why... why did you run so far? Why... why did you pinch your nose?"

"I didn't run."

Karina blinked her innocent eyes. Seeing that Gott had moved fifty meters away from her, she immediately teleported hundreds of meters away, then let go of her nose, as if to say, look, I am indeed He wasn't running, and he wasn't holding his nose, right?

With two lines of tragic tears, Gott turned around, showing the pitiful eyes of a slug abandoned by the world, and cast his last hope on the kind-hearted girls behind me.

"Um... Lord Gott, I think it's better for you to wash up first."

As Gott turned around, the five girls subconsciously took a step back, and Veras suggested this with a gentle smile on her face.

He lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly. Gaut's face was shrouded in shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"I see……"

After a moment, he finally spoke, and he suddenly looked up.

"Okay, I already know, as you wish."

"Turn around."

Having a bad premonition, I ordered the girls behind me in an almost powerless tone. However, they, who have more keen female intuition, turned around as soon as I opened my mouth. .

"I'm going to wash it right away."

Saying this, Gott stripped himself naked, ran naked and burst into tears, raising a straight line of snow dust, and his figure disappeared into the distance. His sad voice could still be heard in the distance.

"Just wait for me, you cold-blooded animals. I, Gott, will definitely...definitely find the legendary River of Arreat and wash my body cleaner than anyone else. I will definitely let you Look at my spotless, elegant and delicious image."

"..."

Although I really want to complain about Gott and say that before washing my body, I should give your rusty brain and soul a good brush with a wire brush, but at this time, he has already gone far.

Finally, it’s okay to be clean for a while. Elegance and refinement are not used to describe men. As for being beautiful and delicious, I have nothing to complain about, idiot.

"What a farce."

Karina came from a distance, sighed and bent over to us.

"My Gott has caused trouble to everyone again. I'm really sorry."

"No, I'm the one who should be sorry. I didn't expect the poisonous flower vine to bite Gott."

When I said this, my mood was rather subtle. Even I couldn't tell whether I was blaming the poisonous flower vine for biting Gott, or whether I was blaming the poisonous flower vine for being so hungry and eating something that would cause diarrhea without any judgment. The act of swallowing.

"Well... the taste of my Goote is indeed not very good, so I'm disappointed."

Karina bowed apologetically again.

"..."

Let me tell you...Sister Lina, if Gao Te hears these words from you, he will definitely cry for three days and three nights.

"Poisonous flower vine? Is it your summoned creature?"

After finishing complaining about Gott, Karina curiously looked at the bracelet lying quietly on my palm - standing two meters away, this was probably a lesson learned from Gott.

"Yeah, that's right."

"Can the druid's poisonous flower vine transform into this form?"

Karina tilted her head and said in confusion. Although Druid's skill fusion can greatly improve the strength of summoned creatures, anyone with a little common sense knows that the bracelet in front of her, this poisonous flower vine, has completely broken away from the [enhancement] The category is basically a brand new unknown variety.

"Probably, my summoned creatures are a bit more special than other druids."

I couldn't explain the mystery of this to Karina in words, so I could only shrug at her.

"Ha...haha, it's not surprising. After all, they are called the mainland twins. Of course, they will have some powers that are different from ordinary people."

Karina said this, but her smile was very forced. After all, such a thick and poisonous flower vine is really not something that can be accepted in a moment.

"Is the same true for other summoned creatures... ghost wolves?"

After taking a look at the Oak Wise Man who was held in Sarah's arms, and thinking of the three different types of summons from the Druid Summoning Skills, Karina continued to ask cautiously.

"Yeah, that's the same." I scratched the back of my head and giggled.

"Can you let me see it?"

"Sorry, they are following my sister in the second world now, although it is not impossible to summon them here..."

"I understand." Karina fell into a distant state.

Summoned creatures can leave their master's side and even be in different worlds. So that's it...

This world is really big, so just destroy it.

For no reason, she sighed like this in her heart.

…

Our goal is the Cave of the Styx on the Arreat Plateau, which means we have to pass through the Bloody Hills and the Frozen Plateau. In order to allow Vilas and the others to adapt to Harrogath-level monsters, a group of eight people walked in the middle of the Bloody Hills. Duan stayed for five days before starting to move towards the goal.

Of course, when it comes to progress, in fact, in order for the little ghost to accept the cram-feeding upgrade, Akara specially opened up the use of all teleport stations for the five girls who have not yet logged in to any teleport station. This can't help but remind me of myself in order to submit to the second teleport station. It was an arduous experience running the entire length of Harrogath when the world marched on to kill Baal.

They are the same people, but why are they treated so differently?

Ahem, anyway, Akara's approach saved us a lot of time. We used the scroll to return to the city from the Bloody Hills and took the Harrogas main teleportation station. We went directly to the teleportation station on the Arreat Plateau. , it saves us more than ten days of journey from the Bloody Hills to the Yaret Plateau, which is really gratifying.

"Well...if I remember correctly, the Styx Cave is probably in this direction."

Facing the vast white Arreat Plateau, less than half a day after leaving the teleportation station, we fell into a predicament that seemed to be lost.

Trying to remember a cave entrance on an endless plateau covered by vast white snow is a big test even for the experienced adventurers of the Gott couple.

Moreover, the monsters on the Arreat Plateau are very dangerous to Vilas and the others.

Demons and fairies can be seen everywhere. You don't know when they will suddenly teleport over from a distance and throw a huge energy hammer from their hands to hit you.

If they see that the situation is not going well, these cunning guys will even drive siege beasts from far away and use this huge steel mountain as a cover to attack.

This was the first time that Veras and the others saw siege beasts other than Xiao Jia, and they gave people a very different feeling. The eyes of these siege beasts were full of a sad and dull look, which was different from Xiao Jia's eyes. There was a vast difference between Liu Liu's thieves' eyes. If they hadn't looked exactly the same, they would never have imagined that these soulless puppet-like steel behemoths could be the same kind as Xiao Jia.

In addition to these, there are also the Baal servants seen on the Bloody Hills. The difference is that the number of these servants has increased greatly, and from time to time, another kind of monster will appear among a bunch of servants - the huge and bloated [Warlord] 】, the strength of these warlords is not very strong, but with long whips in their hands, they can make a servant fall into a violent state. Its dependence on the servant is somewhat similar to that of the Sinking Demon and the Sinking Demon Wizard. If you want to deal with a group of minions, it's best to deal with the Overseer first, otherwise it will cause you huge trouble with its whip.

Another powerful monster in Harrogath also appears here, and that is the Blood King. These monsters are fully armored and as strong as barbarians. Judging from their final evolution, the King of Death is the great demon Baal. If you look at the personal guards, you can know how powerful they are. They are definitely the ones standing at the top of the pyramid among the monsters in the Harrogas area.

These powerful monsters appear from time to time, causing great trouble on our way to the Cave of Styx.
