Chapter 164 The Death Knell

Chapter 164 "Death Knell"

A bird's unique scream echoed in the ice cave. It was sharp and penetrating. It can be said to make those who hear it sad and those who hear it cry.

The sudden interruption of the source supply caused the Ice Crystal Phoenix to suffer unimaginable backlash. The originally crystal clear giant egg turned into an extremely beautiful creature in the blink of an eye. Its body made of ice made it look like the most exquisite art in the world. As long as they are intelligent creatures, they will be addicted to it without knowing it.

However, the beautiful appearance is just a disguise. Before the shrill echo has dissipated, a bone-chilling coldness follows.

Qiao Yang, who was the closest, bore the brunt. In just a moment, Xiao Bai's ice attribute energy damage lowered his health bar. He was stunned for a moment, and it was Xiao Bai again. Now he finally understood what those ice sculptures of different shapes were doing. He's here. He's waiting for him here.

Without daring to hesitate any more, infinite life blessings were given to everyone present, including the fire crow eggs in his arms. But this guy had one more step, which was to tame the beast. Although he didn't know whether the loss of the source could be passed through "life" This trait is supplementary, but considering the great power of Gua Dad, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Of course, even if it doesn't work, it's okay. Anyway, he is just a helper, and he still has the knowledge of bloodline evolution. He is not afraid that the soul link established through beast taming will be in vain. He just wants to save this mythical fire crow, that's all.

"Tip: You have suffered more than a hundred points of frost damage, and your resistance to cold has been greatly improved..."

"Passed the physical fitness test, you have mastered your personal expertise - weak cold resistance!"

As his health points decreased and increased, Qiao Yang gained another resistance specialty, which was an insignificant unexpected gain.

The cold wave did not last long, only a few breaths, and the wave that threatened the most was only a moment, and the remaining aftermath did not pose any threat.

After the explosion, the ice crystal phoenix fell into unprecedented weakness. A wisp of pale white flames rose in its pupils, followed by a second ray, and a third ray. Endless flames covered its whole body, reflecting it as if The strong contrast between the sacred fire phoenix gives people a sense of absurdity. The blazing high temperature quickly replaced the ice cold. The ice cave began to melt rapidly, and the sound of water droplets sounded from point to line, as if it was pouring rain.

"Li~"

An extremely weak cry came from the beak of the ice crystal phoenix. It didn't think that any existence could survive with its own natural ability. The hateful little thief could be ignored for now. Stabilizing the injury was the most important thing at the moment.

With this thought, Ice Crystal Phoenix, who had always been conceited about its strength, paid the due price for its arrogance.

"Ar—Gn—Gog!"

Continuous Shock Wave [Spell Identification]

Oriath did not let go of such a good opportunity. With her strength, it was no problem to confront a legend head-on. She could even crush him unilaterally. For details, please refer to the unlucky guy Potugal.

However, if you are facing a similar mythological legend like the Ice Crystal Phoenix, it will be a bit difficult. You can only take advantage of the bird's danger. Before crossing the threshold of legend again, the gap in the essence of life is too outrageous, even if it is an arcane The same is true for Rhea who has the talent to ascend to the gods. Maybe she can face the gods directly through flesh and blood in the future, but it is still almost meaningless now.

Sound waves of different frequencies reverberated in the ice cave, causing massive damage and further accelerating melting. The unexpected attack caused the ice crystal phoenix's aura to fall to the bottom in an instant, and the pale fire that had just been suppressed fought back with the most ferocious force. When I got back, the situation was completely out of control.

But Oriath's offensive will not stop because of this. If you want to conquer the mythical species, you have to beat it to death.

So in the next ten minutes, the Queen transformed into a magic machine gun, throwing out various spells as if they were free of charge. However, the vitality of the ice crystal phoenix was beyond expectations. In addition to the beautiful ice blue feathers all over her body, Damn, he's not dead yet.

Qiao Yang had already released his invisibility mode and laughed out loud. A phoenix with fallen feathers is worse than a chicken. This is a living example right now.

At the same time, a notice from the Endless Sea suddenly appeared.

"Mission Sea Area Announcement: Affected by special factors, overlord-level creatures have awakened in advance and entered a state of rage. From now on, the mission sea area will increase the overall gain - the damage caused will be increased by 20%. Please prepare the remaining participants. I wish you all the best. good luck."

This announcement confirmed that the Ice Crystal Phoenix was indeed the overlord who was about to awaken as mentioned in the previous reminder. Qiao Yang was happy to hear this, but for those foreign captains who were struggling to survive, it was no different than adding insult to injury. He didn’t know how to stop Potugal in the first place. Build the portal, and now there is an overall damage buff.

The captain, who was thinking fast, turned pale, and then he stood on the bow of the ship and yelled, and the endless sea came out. What kind of buff is this? Isn't this a pure talisman? I don't know how to fight the legendary abyssal fiend in the first place. Now I can't fucking beat him!

As more and more acquaintances lost contact completely, the remaining foreign captains had to admit the fact that Qiao Yang was right. Without the protection of the rules, they were nothing. Most of them could not face their own death. , and descended into madness in despair.

Even if there is no demon attack yet, even if the overlord has not shown any trace, chaos is inevitable.

Senseless plunder, killing, atrocities, depravity, and the aura of original sin permeate this sea area. The Purgatory Black Sin, which is hunting everywhere, hums happily, and the ship spirit living in it is as high as if it were on drugs. In this way, her evolution will inevitably take a big step forward.

In addition to those who have completely given up on themselves, there are also some foreign captains who are trying their best to survive. They are either unwilling to die in obscurity in the mission sea area, or they have missions that must be completed. They look like the passionate protagonists, but they are quite interesting. Dramatically, as described in the script, the righteous adventurers will eventually defeat the evil Demon King Qiao.

Unfortunately, reality is reality because it will never end like a fairy tale.

Ever since, an urgent problem appeared in front of these people, that is, how to get Qiao Yang to let them go.

Some people wanted to attract attention through the forum, and some wanted to add friends and send private messages to beg for mercy. Some even risked being discovered by the Black Candle Fleet and wanted to go to the Jiaolian Mountains to look for Qiao Yang, but without exception, they all failed. .

During this "self-rescue" process, the death toll reached a small peak. For a time, the vast sea area was dyed with a layer of dark red, and the violent sea monsters launched a carnival, including one belonging to Qiao Yang. , and also exist in this sea area itself.

The former can only be regarded as participating in a carnival of wanton killing. Of course, the latter is also carnivaling, but they can only enjoy it for a while, and then they are captured by Pike and the sea monster formation. They can continue to expand after Qiao Yang returns.

Today, Qiao Yang's advantage has expanded to an unparalleled level. He only needs to snowball step by step. When he goes to sea, he will have an invincible fleet that most forces can't match. The legend is no longer a luxury. High goals are what he pursues.

As expected, the beast taming was successful first, and the weak soul link quickly became stronger with the restoration of life and origin. The next moment, the pale flames wrapped around the ice crystal phoenix were swept away and turned into pure flame energy and The origin of the flame was immediately absorbed by the Fire Crow Egg.

Exploding, surging, and raging!

"Ah!~"

The cry of the fire crow was full of resentment and rage. Feeling the aura of the enemy, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed at all. Flames with a temperature of thousands of degrees spurted out. The wind and water were turning. It is your turn to suffer today, brother!

Qiao Yang didn't stop him. Anyway, the mythical species are relatively strong and durable. Even if they are accidentally killed, the ice crystal phoenix can be reborn from nirvana. No matter how you look at it, there will be no loss, and it can also use this to eliminate the resentment in his heart. Vent and kill two birds with one stone, why not do it.

Seeing the Fire Crow joining the battlefield, Oriath stopped and stood beside Qiao Yang eating melon and watching the show. If the environment was not suitable, it would not be impossible to set up a table.

"Bah!!!"

After another ten minutes of brutal and inhumane one-sided beating, Ice Crystal Phoenix didn't know whether it was angry or seriously injured. After a scream that pierced gold and cracked stone, its head tilted and fell into a coma.

"Ah~"

The fire crow whipped the corpse a few more times in displeasure before giving up. The arrogance of the mythical species was innate, as was its intelligence. It knew very well that all of this could only be done with the permission of its master, otherwise it would be taken away from it. Speaking from experience, you would have killed this damn bastard bird a long time ago and scattered it all for you, so how could you hold it back?

After whipping the corpse, it gave a fawning cry, and its huge size quickly shrunk, disappearing with the flames all over the sky, and finally turned into a crow that was two times larger than an ordinary crow, um...crow?

Qiao Yang couldn't help but look suspicious. Are all mythological species so low-key when hiding themselves? You can't see the B-frame when the firepower is fully activated. Besides, it's hard to show off with this thing.

As if aware of his master's thoughts, the fire crow shook its wings, and the feathers on its body quickly changed color, turning into a gorgeous and very red red. Well... it was still a crow.

Not only that, there are gold, white, and even colors, which can be said to fully display the word flattery.

"Okay, now that I know you're powerful, let's just use your initial appearance and keep a low profile."

"Ah~"

After receiving the order, the fire crow nodded obediently, then fluttered its wings and flew to Qiao Yang's shoulder, combing its feathers contentedly. It was no different from most of the bird pets kept by captains, and there was absolutely no flaw in its appearance.

After this battle, the ice cave completely ceased to exist, and a large number of frozen treasures also revealed their original appearance. Gold and silver jewelry, antique equipment, and extraordinary materials were so dazzling that many people could not see them at all.

Especially in the Golden Temple where the Ice Crystal Phoenix was originally located, there were even two familiar auras. As expected, they should be legendary equipment, but the aura of the other piece was a bit strange.

Moreover, under such a terrifying high temperature, the gold temple with a low melting point did not even deform. The treasures stored in it must have played a role. Otherwise, it makes no sense. The greatest value of gold is as a currency in circulation. A few spells require a little gold. As a casting material, other than that, it has little significance in being used anywhere, so it cannot be the function of gold itself.

Qiao Yang didn't tolerate his curiosity and said to Oriya next to him:

"You try to conquer the Ice Crystal Phoenix first. If that doesn't work, leave it to me. There's something interesting over there."

"Don't worry, it's just a mythical species. It's not like I haven't killed it before. There are many more terrifying creatures in the sea than on land."

Nodding, Qiao Yang didn't say anything. He took three steps and two steps at a time, and soon arrived at the door of the Golden Temple. Apart from the fixed points used to stabilize the source of the ice crystal phoenix's absorption, there are many inside that can hold utensils. Cavity.

Through the feedback brought by perception, Qiao Yang found that there were items in every cavity, and the quality was not low. At the very least, it was of excellent quality. There were also many of perfect quality. In addition, the cost of casting this golden temple was also taken into account. Tons of gold, he discovered that this was the real treasure of Jiaolian Volcano.

Now that we know the function of the Golden Temple, the next task is very simple. Let Marquis notify other crew members to come in and start moving!

All things with trading value were put into Qiao Yang's backpack, but those things with the characteristics of trophies could only be carried by hand, and at most put in bags. This process has become a routine in the Black Candle Fleet, and it can be seen with closed eyes. It can be done properly.

After he sorted out all the items that could be put into his backpack, he took two items of legendary quality into his hands, an ice blue ring and a mini pendulum model. The former was an accessory of legendary quality, and the latter was indeed A strange thing, a legendary thing.

As soon as I thought about it, the properties of this strange object came into view.

——————

"Death knell. Legendary object. Special. Unique"

Effect: Choose to sacrifice a certain amount of chaotic breath, and then designate a sea area that does not exceed the [boundary]. All beings who hear the bell will make an extremely difficult all-attribute test. Those who fail the test will fall into an endless trap. Go crazy until you destroy everything you see!

Description: With the heart of destruction, ring the death knell for the world!

——————

Qiao Yang looked at the effect and description of the death knell and was speechless for a long time. The effect of this strange object that didn't seem to be of serious use at first glance was really powerful. Of course, it was also very evil. I just had to write the word evil on it. , if those guys from the lawful good camp saw it, they would want to spend all day and night thinking about how to rub this thing into dust.

Moreover, there is an extremely outrageous description in the effect. In the Endless Sea, the extremely difficult all-attribute test basically means that there is almost no possibility of passing it, even the legendary strong men whose willpower is tougher than steel are no exception. .

What’s even more outrageous is that the conditions for using Death Knell are extremely simple. The so-called breath of chaos refers to things related to the chaos camp. It can be an item, a person, or a living thing. There is no need to work hard to extract it, as long as the thing Now, Deathstroke will take care of the rest.

After the above conditions are met, you only need to knock it gently, and then designate a sea area under [World]. Then all creatures in this sea area, even dead creatures without thinking, need to conduct a full attribute test. If you don't pass the test, you will skip the prerequisite [Fear] and [Collapse] states and fall directly into madness. To briefly describe it, it is a mad dog to see who bites whom, even if it is a stone on the roadside.

This effect is terrible. Theoretically, if he asks the demons on the ship to summon a group of low- and mid-level demons for sacrifice, and then selects the mission sea area, then the remaining participants and the various monsters that will be refreshed will , would start fighting without distinction between friend and foe. To put it bluntly, even he himself would not be able to pass all attribute tests, let alone those newcomers.

In addition, it is worth mentioning the definition of sea areas. In the death knell, the magnitude of sea areas is mentioned, which is [boundary].

This is the official division derived from the rules of the Endless Sea. It is divided into four levels from low to high, namely - District, Boundary, Domain, and No Boundary.

A boundary as big as the First Sea is a district, the next level is almost as big as ten thousand First Seas, and the third level is ten thousand times the size of the former. Borderless is the simplest, because this level It refers to the Endless Sea itself. The divisions of the previous three magnitudes all exist in the Endless Sea.

Many people may not be able to explore a sea area the size of a world in their lifetime. Therefore, in order to make it easier to distinguish the proven locations, later people divided two more intermediate magnitudes in the middle. The size of one hundred areas is a stream. One hundred realms are the size of oceans, and are ultimately used to divide various locations in the endless ocean.

Therefore, it is quite explosive to say that the Death Knell can affect an entire sea area the size of the world. Its power is definitely better than most legendary objects. After all, it has two more suffixes, one special and one unique, no matter it is from If you see such a description on any attribute item, then this thing is definitely not simple.

"Is this the power of the only special legendary object? If I think about it, this place will immediately become a desert on earth. Thinking about such a scene is extremely tragic."

Qiao Yang smiled and held the pendulum model in his hand. In a trance, he seemed to see a scene where corpses littered the fields and blood replaced the sea water. The rich smell of blood penetrated the nasal cavity through the screen. It was pungent and nauseating.

His eyes gradually narrowed, the dangerous look flashed away, and he murmured:

"Why wouldn't I want to~"
