Chapter 4 Monster World
Call up the function panel and open the game map.
A translucent light golden scroll unfolded in front of you. The four characters "Imperial Tomb Mountain Range" were printed in the center of the map, and most of the area on it was shrouded in fog.
The map exploration degree displayed in the upper right corner is 0.001%, and a line of small words is marked below: Waning Moon (Low).
"Guide, is there no mission in the game that I can pick up?"
Turning off the map function, Li Zheng looked at the guidance water balloon floating beside him and asked.
[This game triggers tasks randomly, and there is no specific NPC that can accept the task. As challengers, the most important task for you is to kill and contain the original monsters while exploring the monster world. You can get rich rewards every time the containment is successful. award. 】
"Contain the original monster? What do you mean?"
[The background world of this game tells the story that the supreme god "Emperor's Omen" in the monster world, in order to explore the unknown mysteries of life more than ten thousand years ago, decomposed his own power and spread it throughout the monster world, evolving into various types of sources. The original monster, now more than ten thousand years later Today, the world of monsters is swept by a black tide of terror, and the world is on the verge of collapse. Those of you who have received the power of the Emperor Zhao need to fight against the evil spirits brought by the terrifying black tide. At the same time, by hunting and containing the original monsters, the sleeping Emperor Zhao can gradually regain its strength. , until he wakes up completely. 】
[A simple explanation, the more original monsters you contain, the stronger the imperial omen behind you will be, and the more game functions you can give you. 】
[When you first enter the game and create a character, the blue crystal wall you see is the Origin Containment Wall located underground in Dizhong Village. Every time the player kills an Origin monster, there will be an additional monster form in the containment grid. choose. 】
After listening to the guide's explanation, Li Zheng became even more confused:
"So we can change our initial monster form later, right?"
Guide the water polo to listen and nod:
[The initial form can of course be changed after selection. In addition, you can also master a variety of monster forms and abilities, and switch at will through the star pulse function. Each monster form can provide you with a special ability and corresponding form. attribute increase. 】
[And the forging level allows you to inherit the monster's attribute increases in the main form, as well as the ability to use monsters in various forms. 】
As he spoke, the guide waved his hand and pointed forward, and a huge light curtain suddenly appeared in front of him.
There are four big characters "Ability Demonstration" printed on the top of the light screen.
In the picture stood a human man with an ordinary face, and three monsters were suspended behind him.
The guide stretched out his hand a little, and the man's attributes suddenly emerged:
【Challenger Name: Test No. 1】
Main form: human
Forging level: Level 3 (can inherit all attribute blessings of three monster forms)
Star Vein Mosaic Level: 3
No. 1 Mosaic Position, Black-armored Snake Life Soul Lv30 (Characteristic: Poison)
No. 2 inlay position: Thorn Ball Life Soul Lv30 (Characteristic: Pierce)
No. 3 Mosaic Position: Sky Life Soul Lv30 (Characteristic: Flying)
……
The guide pointed at the screen and explained:
[The forging level of Test No. 1 has reached level 3. Even if it does not transform into a monster form, the body can inherit all the attribute increases of the three monster forms at the same time, and can also use the characteristics and abilities of the three monsters at the same time. 】
As the instructions were explained, Test No. 1 on the screen moved.
A large number of worm-like monsters appeared in front of the character. A pair of wings appeared on the back of Test No. 1 and then flew into the air. He waved his hands forward, and countless steel thorns rained down on the worm colony.
All worms hit by the steel spikes will have a green "Poisoned" prompt on their heads.
"I understand, different monster characteristics can be mixed and matched in the main form. The characteristics of the Black-armored Snake Life Soul is that all physical attacks cause poisoning effects. The characteristic of the Thorn Ball Life Soul is to release physical damage from a range of strikes. Two characteristics Used in combination, it can cause a group poisoning effect on targets within the strike range."
【Yes. 】
"How many monster forms can a player have at most?" Li Zheng continued to ask.
[There is no limit. The star vein level and forging level can be increased infinitely. In the later stage, you can master hundreds of monster characteristics and combine them with various interesting skill combinations in the main form. The premise is that there are enough original monsters contained and there are enough The monster life soul allows you to choose to inlay. 】
[Of course, when the early forging level is 0, the main form cannot inherit the monster attributes. It is recommended to switch to the monster form for combat. 】
After hearing this, Li Zheng and others already understood what the guide wanted to express.
The initial form can be changed, and each player can master multiple monster forms, each with a special ability.
"A very interesting setting!" Killing Heart in the team nodded at this moment:
"Can I understand it this way? Containing the original monster is a world-class main mission shared by all players. Players who complete the containment can not only enjoy generous rewards but also bring shared monster form choices to all players."
【Yes. 】
"By the way, what does the waning moon shown in the upper right corner of the map mean?"
[The moon phases in different areas of the monster world are different. From low to high, the intensity is divided into five levels: waning moon, last quarter moon, first quarter moon, full moon, and big evil moon. The lower the intensity, the lower the life level of the evil spirit appearing in the area. The higher the intensity of the evil spirits appearing in areas, the higher the life level, but the strength of monsters is not affected by the moon phase. They can move freely in areas with various moon phase intensity. There may be low-level monsters in the big evil moon scene, and there may be low-level monsters in the waning moon scene. There may be high-level monsters... 】
The detailed explanation of the guide gave Li Zheng and others a preliminary understanding of the world background of the game.
This is a collapsed world invaded by the terrifying black tide. A large number of evil beings follow the black tide and bring chaos to the monster world.
The main life of the world is divided into three types.
They are the original monster, the monster, and the evil spirit. Among them, evil spirits are evil beings that follow the black tide and come to the monster world. Their range of actions is affected by changes in the moon phase. High-level evil spirits only appear during high-intensity moon phases.
The original monsters and monsters are the native life forms of this world, and their range of activities is not affected by the moon phase.
Among the three life types, the most important to players is the original monster. After being killed, it can be contained in the containment wall underground in Dizhong Village, becoming a form that all players can choose.
"Let's go, it's time to upgrade."
After a preliminary understanding of the world view, Li Zheng led the remaining nine players in the team towards the Imperial Tomb Mountains.
At the foot of the mountains is an ancient battlefield.
Broken flags, broken armor, broken weapons... piled up on the ground.
After walking less than a hundred meters, Li Zheng and others encountered evil beings.
A two-meter-tall bone soldier slowly stood up from the pile of bones, and the broken armor on his body fell to the ground. It turned to look at Li Zheng and the others, and ink-colored flames suddenly ignited in the dark head.
The overly realistic environment, coupled with the sudden appearance of monsters, scared Li Zheng and others to the point of trembling.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Focusing their eyes, the analysis information of the bone soldiers appeared in the minds of Li Zheng and other players.
[Curse Soldier (Evil Ghost)]:
Hunting Level: 3
Target introduction: A life infected by the corrosive power of the terrifying black tide was a devout believer in the Emperor's Omen during his lifetime. After his death, he was transformed into a cursed soldier by the power of the black tide.
……
"It stinks!"
He is so poor that he covers his nose with his hands and expresses disgust:
"It's so real, the smell makes me dizzy."
"Stop talking nonsense, farm monsters and upgrade first." Li Zheng took the lead. In a flash of thought, his body switched to the form of a black-armored snake. He ejected and opened his big mouth to bite the curse soldier:
"The evil snake comes out of the cage!"
Seeing Li Zheng in action, "Leopard Head Lingchong" in the team decisively followed with bared teeth. While switching to monster form, he roared:
"Two snakes came out of the cave!"
"Three snakes emerge from the water."
"Four snakes pounce and bite!"
"Five snakes...don't care, ow!"
Players in the Gandi group switched to monster forms at the same time, shouted and rushed towards the curse soldiers, surrounded them and launched a ferocious attack.
After a brief fight, they found that biting could not break through the defense of the cursed soldiers. Li Zheng and other players decisively changed their combat strategies and began to try to kill the cursed soldiers with strangulation.
"The snake is entangled."
"Two snakes follow each other."
"The three snakes are following."
This move worked as expected. Six black-armored snakes wrapped around the body of the Curse Soldier at the same time. As the body tightened, the body of the Curse Soldier continued to make the sound of cracking bones and fell to the ground.
The other four players were not idle either.
The two players who chose the gargoyle form used their sharp claws to pull the cursed soldier's lower limbs from two directions, restricting the cursed soldier from getting up. The two players who chose the eagle-headed demon used their sharp beaks to hit the ink in the cursed soldier's head hard. flame.
In less than a moment, the cursed soldiers were dismantled by the fierce players and turned into skeletons.
At this time, a black mist emerged from the head of the dead curse soldier, flew towards a player in the team, and penetrated into the body after contact with his body.
Suddenly, a prompt popped up in the team channel:
[Challenger Tips: The player "Family Shared Foster Father" kills the evil spirit: Curse Soldier, obtains life evolution points +30, and sacrifice power reward: 5]
In the surprised expressions of Li Zheng and others, the body of the family-sharing adoptive father suddenly swelled in a circle at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a flashing level +1 prompt appeared above his head.
"Well, I seem to have leveled up. It seems that rewards can only be obtained by killing, and they cannot be shared." Seeing the expressions of the brothers gritting their teeth, the family sharing adoptive father looked a little embarrassed.
"You thief, take away my luck of growth and give me a bite."
"You have disappointed your father so much. It depends on my family."
"Although you didn't mean it, it's wrong to be alone. We promised to become stronger together, but you turned your back on us and advanced to level 2 in advance. If I don't peck you, I will be so angry that I will die."
Looking at the brothers who were surrounding him with unkind expressions, the adoptive father of the family gave in decisively, but what he received was heavy blows from the brothers.
