Chapter 134 Forgotten Fountain (two in one)
boom! !
Deep in the dark pool, a powerful impact pushed the water away, creating a huge whirlpool.
Chen Lun smiled ferociously, his right arm had undergone amazing changes!
The thickened arms are covered with dark golden scales, with a black exoskeleton flowing between the gaps, and azure circular patterns appearing on the inside. It looks like a weird and colorful python, ferocious and terrifying!
The golden python's arm snaked out and struck the octopus monster with one blow, as if it had hit a ball, making a huge dent in it.
The octopus monster let out a silent cry, turned around suddenly, and swung the broken touch at Chen Lun frantically, as if it wanted to fight back desperately.
"Polluting creatures really have no behavioral logic..."
Chen Lun thought to himself, turned his right arm several times, and tightly wrapped around the opponent's broken contact.
The azure ring on the inside of the snake's arm emits a faint light and generates an extremely powerful adsorption force, completely locking it in place. The tips of the five fingers were dyed shiny black, and they suddenly penetrated into the octopus monster's flesh, and were immediately injected with [Snake and Scorpion Venom].
"Let's see whose poison is stronger!"
The octopus monster was trembling all over, twitching wildly in the water, and was swinging around with Chen Lunwu. But no matter how hard it struggled, the latter seemed to be growing on it, unable to break free.
Chen Lun held a silver sword in his other hand and slashed at him violently. The originally turbid and dark pool water was stained with the dark green blood of the octopus monster.
Soon, the octopus monster's struggle gradually decreased, and finally floated like a tattered "ball", shriveled and weak.
[Kill the polluting creature "Gun Yi"! Obtain 2000 experience points and the extraordinary material "Corrupted Ink Sac" (Deep Sea Faction)! 】
Chen Lun was planning to drag the octopus monster's body ashore and wait for it to analyze the mysterious substance.
But at this moment, he suddenly let go of his snake-touching right arm, stepped on it hard, and flew away like an arrow.
His [spiritual intuition] conveyed an omen, and a strong sense of danger lingered in his heart.
When Chen Lun was about to emerge from the water, he looked back and saw a deeper "black hole" appearing at some point. The originally huge octopus carcass looked extremely small in front of this "black hole".
The octopus body began to sink slowly, more like being sucked into a "black hole".
Chen Lun's eyes narrowed.
After the octopus corpse gradually disappeared into the deep "black hole", he was shocked to see row after row of teeth slowly biting...
boom!
Chen Lun rushed out of the water without looking back. The black wings appeared on his back. With a strong movement, he rose into the sky and disappeared.
"What the hell...scares me to death!"
He groaned secretly.
Under a small pool, there is a being countless times larger than the octopus monster!
It’s so terrifying, so why don’t you wait for this “wonderland”!
The next second, Chen Lun was meditating on "Lakeside Wooden House" in his mind, and his whole person disappeared into the air.
He sat up from the bed in the wooden house, looked at the simple furnishings in the house, and smiled softly. This is the second time I have returned from "Wonderland", and the experience is quite good.
Chen Lun got out of bed, walked out of the door quickly, and returned to the statue by the lake.
He reached out and touched the base of the statue, sensing the sanity value stored inside. It currently stands at 70+.
This is the contribution of the three resurrections of the players. After taking into account the cost of "opening dungeons" for them, there is so much surplus.
With a smile on his face, Chen Lun sat on the base of the statue, and then focused on the old wooden box at his feet.
"Now that you have obtained the extraordinary characteristics, let's open the box..."
He had previously observed the lake and saw that Polaris was unable to do anything about it, but Chen Lun happened to have a way to deal with it.
I saw him take out the tiny toothpick from the blood poem ring.
[D-level magic object-rusty toothpick (disposable consumable)]
“Open the box!”
Chen Lun inserted the toothpick into the keyhole of the dilapidated wooden box. He felt the toothpick between his fingers seem to be squirming inside. Soon, there was a snap sound, and a crack in the tightly-joined wooden box was loosened.
At the same time, the toothpick in Chen Lun's hand quietly shattered and turned into dust and dissipated.
"Kangkang has everything..."
Chen Lun opened the box with a little anticipation.
The next second, his eyes widened.
The first thing that catches the eye is the piles of coins, all yellow and uniform -
Copper Crow.
"..."
Chen Lun resisted the urge to throw the box into the lake, grabbed a handful of copper coins, and let it slip between his fingers with a crunching sound.
"That's great. There are at least several thousand copper coins here. If you round up, it's equal to half a gold pound. I'm rich."
He forced a smile and put all the copper coins in the box into the panel, leaving no one behind.
After missing the recharged copper coins, the remaining items at the bottom of the box were clearly visible, a total of three items.
A notebook, a potion, and a piece of parchment.
Chen Lun picked up the notebook and found that it was not a mysterious book, but a simple notebook. Opening it and flipping through it, I found the text recorded on it, telling a story about the "Forgotten Spring".
The identity of the author is unknown, but he seems to be a traveler. He described a spring named "Forgotten Spring" in the form of what he saw. This spring water has some kind of magical power. After drinking it, you can selectively forget certain memories.
The article also vividly describes the clear beauty of the "Forgotten Spring" and the sweetness of the spring water, which made the author forget many troubled memories. Later, he didn't want to see this spring occupied by some people with ulterior motives, so he left a cute pet as a guardian...
"So that pool... is actually the 'Forgotten Spring'?"
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
But the turbid and dirty pool water is not the same thing as the "clear and beautiful" described in the notes.
"Has it been mysteriously contaminated... That 'Gun Yi' octopus monster is not the so-called 'guardian pet'."
The more Chen Lun thought about it, the more possible it became.
Things that are mysteriously contaminated will always take on an extremely uncomfortable form. Perhaps the "Forgotten Fountain" really became filthy and decayed because of this. Together with the octopus monster, it eventually became terrifying.
Chen Lun then picked up the small bottle and the parchment.
【Extraordinary Item-Forgotten Spring】
Item description: The spring water that was put into the bottle still contains the magic power of the past. Perhaps it was a casual act by the traveler that allowed it to survive and become the last orphan of the spring water.
Item effect: You can selectively forget a certain memory, a certain skill or a sub-profession.
Chen Lun looked at the small spring water in his hand, with surprise on his face.
“It’s just the right time to forget about the [fisherman] sub-profession…”
He put the [Forgotten Spring Water] away properly and finally looked at the parchment.
[Extraordinary Knowledge-Shadow Contract (Conspiracy Faction)]
Item description: A parchment recording the shadow contract ritual. By reading it, you will learn how to construct the ritual.
Travelers once used shadow contracts to enslave otherworldly creatures to serve them.
"Contract knowledge..."
Chen Lun was quite interested, so he simply sat there and spent a few minutes browsing the text on the parchment.
[By reading carefully, you have obtained the [Shadow Contract Ceremony]! 】
This kind of ritual is not a skill. Its effective mechanism requires consuming specific sacrifices and initiating a notarization to the corresponding high-sequence transcendent, or even a god, in order to achieve the effect of the contract.
Because it involves high-level mystery, the weight of the contract is extremely high, and both parties who sign it basically dare not violate it.
As for the contract ceremony mastered by Chen Lun, every time it is signed, a portion of the mysterious substance of the [Conspiracy Faction] will be consumed. There is no limit to the sequence level, but it will affect the final effect.
"It's time to go out...and take care of the sub-career thing by the way."
Chen Lun tidied up and stood up.

Come out of the book "Philip in Wonderland" and return to the real world.
Chen Lun looked at the sofa opposite. It was empty. The Polaris Five were no longer there.
Chen Lun knew that their number of resurrections had been exhausted and they could no longer go online. It just so happens that the closed beta ends today, so the next time I see them, it will be the open beta.
"Well...I will almost have everything ready by then."
Chen Lun pondered for a moment.
"Are you a public beta player? Hey... I'm really looking forward to it."
Looking at the empty seat on the sofa, Chen Lun suddenly remembered the moment when he sent them to "Wonderland".
The five people collapsed on the sofa, but their eyes were open and their pupils were dull, as if they were five soulless bodies.
Chen Lun judged at that time that it was the spirit of the human body that entered the "fairyland", not the physical body.
Therefore, every time you want to enter "Philip in Wonderland", it is best to find a safer location to avoid physical danger in the real world.
Of course, with [spiritual intuition] Chen Lun can predict danger in advance and return.
He got up from the sofa, walked out of the villa, and then found Connie at the warehouse and asked her to help him purchase some brewing equipment.
Immediately, Chen Lun returned to the villa, went upstairs and entered his room.
He sat by the window and took out [Forgotten Spring Water] and "Blood Brew".
Bo!
Chen Lun clasped the side of the bottle mouth with his thumb and flicked it, and the cork flew away.
He raised his head and drank the spring water, only to feel a cool and sweet aftertaste in his mouth. A strange feeling arose spontaneously, from the body to the brain, and the whole person was in a state of clarity and comfort.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lun focused on his secondary occupation [fisherman]. After a while, everything about this entry disappeared from the panel.
At the same time, he felt his body grow slightly weaker.
And, for some reason, an inexplicable feeling of comfort arose spontaneously... This feeling was like breaking free from the constraints and regaining freedom.
Chen Lun felt that something was wrong with this feeling, so he used divination in the hope of getting some clues.
But there was nothing unusual about the results.
[Spiritual Intuition] has no abnormality either.
Even so, he still felt that he had touched something unintentionally.
Unable to come up with a solution, Chen Lun had no choice but to focus on the prompt box first.
[Sub-professional [Fisherman LV10 (MAX)] has been forgotten! Related skills [Smart Eyes LV1 (Passive)] and [Sea Balance LV1 (Passive)] have been removed! 】
[Experience points have been returned! Attribute points and skill points have been deducted! 】
Chen Lun glanced at the panel and found that his level, attributes and several skills were in a gray frozen state, and he needed to make up for the deducted attribute points and skill points before he could recover.
So he opened "Blood Brew".
[You have discovered a rare book containing sub-professional information and knowledge! 】
[By reading carefully, you gain sub-professional knowledge (complete)! 】
【Winemaker】
[The inheritance conditions have been met. Do you want to use it as your new sub-profession? 】
"Yes."
On Chen Lun's panel, the words [Winemaker LV1] slowly appeared in the adverb column.
Immediately, he threw all the returned experience points into this sub-profession, and soon reached the full level, and also obtained a new skill [Bloody Brew LV1].
This sub-professional skill is slightly different from the ordinary [Wine Brewing], and is unique to the Red Apple Church.
Although it is also wine making, [Bloody Craft Brew] can add extraordinary materials to finally produce a wine containing mysterious power.
This kind of wine is somewhat similar to alchemical potions. It can add some strange abilities in a short time, or provide certain amplification effects, but overall it is not as good as potions and consumes more materials.
After all, it is a secondary profession, and it is normal that it is not as good as the main profession of the extraordinary sequence.
But Chen Lun felt that it was profitable. Whether it was used to support poor players in the future public beta, or to deal with other extraordinary people, a bottle of extraordinary wine was definitely a good choice.
Chen Lun added the skill points and attribute points obtained after the [Winemaker] was fully upgraded back to the panel, and the gray frozen state returned to normal. Immediately afterwards, he spent the 4 skill points he had reserved to upgrade [Bloody Brew] to the full level.
He knows many details and techniques of winemaking without any teacher, and he seems to have been a proficient and experienced person for many years.
Looking at the extraordinary materials stored in his panel, Chen Lun suddenly had countless ideas and various deployment plans in his mind, and he was already eager to try them.
"As soon as Connie buys the equipment, I will start brewing the first bottle of extraordinary wine..."
Chen Lun thought.

It's late at night again.
Chen Lun walked alone on the street with the light of the purple moon.
His leather shoes stepped lightly on the stone pavement, making a crisp sound. Just after leaving Jack Manor, this road is relatively remote and there are not many pedestrians on the road.
Whoosh.
Chen Lun let go of his hand, and the silver cane hit the ground and began to spin in place, with the crank finally pointing to the northeast.
"The remnants of the 'Circus' organization..."
He smiled.
The next moment, Chen Lun took out a black cufflink and pinned it on his sleeve. He took a step forward and walked into the shadow that could not be illuminated by the street lamp.
The two pedestrians walking towards him on the street passed him by and didn't seem to notice him at all.
boom!
A pair of black wings appeared behind Chen Lun. With a flap of his wings, he rose into the sky and flew towards the northeast.
"Hey! It's such a strong wind...!"
"It's really strange."
The hats of the two passers-by were blown to the ground. After they bent down to pick them up, they looked at each other with confused expressions.
Under the night, Chen Lun flew through the sky.
Even if someone looked up, there would be no trace of him at all.
Across the Amber River that separated the inner and outer cities, Chen Lun also overlooked the boats patrolling the river and the checkpoints on the bridge.
"Outer city?"
Chen Lun flicked the silver cane in his hand and adjusted the direction again according to the position pointed by the tip of the cane.
boom!
The speed increased and a strong wind blew in my face.
The buildings below were dark and there were only scattered lights, and the street lights in many blocks were not lit.
Soon, Chen Lun came to an industrial area.
The tall chimneys and square factory buildings are all made of red bricks. The exterior walls were covered with moss and some dirt and looked old.
He landed in an open space, summoned a group of rats, and then directed them to investigate the situation for himself.
Zhizhizhi...
The Rats and Rats made a small noise and began to scatter, heading towards each factory building.
In a certain factory building.
The fire in the corner crackled and exploded with sparks.
There were five people, three men and two women, standing or sitting around the fire, keeping silent. A little further away, there were dozens of figures leaning against the wall.
A long while.
A man threw a piece of wood into the fire.
"It's been several days, and it's time for us to make a decision, whether to leave directly or to do another job."
The firelight shone on his face, revealing a bearded man.
"Even the leader and the old guy are dead, and all eight members of the group have lost their lives. Are we sure we are going to do something else?"
Another burly man in a vest said solemnly.
"Are you willing to leave without making a fortune?"
A short-haired woman with heavy makeup smoked a cigarette and said coldly.
"The leader and others were ambushed by the shelter, but the shelter also suffered heavy losses. Now is a good time for the supernatural power to be vacant in the inner city..."
"Yes, if you miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy to succeed in other cities."
A man next to the short-haired woman echoed.
The burly man in a vest shook his head.
"It's too dangerous, I don't agree with this action..."
The bearded man looked at the three of them and said:
"I also feel that it is not appropriate to take action now. The security in the inner city must have been strengthened. It is best for us to leave as soon as possible, lest the shelter catches its breath and launch a manhunt for us."
"Two to two, Maggie, what's your opinion?"
Following the voice of the woman with heavy makeup and short hair, everyone turned their attention to the woman on the other side of the fire.
Under her messy long flaxen hair, she had a dead fish face.
"I'm not interested. Let me go with you. It's better to go to the zoo to watch orangutans mating."
