Chapter 79: The First Mortal Transformation Treasure Box
【Do you want to choose the 'Midas Touch' for the 'Rare Copper Treasure Box (Mortal Transformation)'? 】
[Note: Since the rules of heaven and earth are not yet perfect at the current stage, the consumption of luck to upgrade extraordinary items will tend to improve their 'characteristics and craftsmanship' rather than 'materials and power'.】< br>
When Xia Tian took out his first "Transcendence Treasure Box" from the Lord's Space, the option of turning stone into gold appeared.
But at the same time, the Will of the Earth actually gave an additional reminder. < br>
"Characteristics and craftsmanship, material and power?"
This information is not difficult to understand.
Because the "second fusion" has just been completed, the rules of heaven and earth at the mortal level have not yet been completely determined.
So much so that after the original practitioners in other worlds entered the eternal land, they were all pushed to the lower level of transformation.
For the same reason, even if you open the golden treasure chest, it is now impossible to obtain super props that can directly correspond to the "ninth level of mortal transformation" creatures, or to obtain advanced materials equivalent to nine transformations.
Of course, this does not mean that the talent of "turning stone into gold" is useless.
Because all mortal items will have certain "extraordinary characteristics", the characteristics of a gold item are definitely much stronger than those of white items.
Except for "features", though.
Using "Midas to Gold" on items may also lead to a strengthening direction, which is the "craft" level.
For example, the "Warring States Noble Bronze Sword" he got when he opened the box for the first time. The material itself was very poor, inferior to the most ordinary iron tools, but because of its good craftsmanship and exquisite shape and decoration, it also It becomes “green” quality!
"So now, enhanced treasure chests are more of a test of 'character'. If the golden item is rated as golden because of its 'characteristics', it is a good deal, but if it is 'craftsmanship', it may be a loss."
Xia Tian was thoughtful.
There is actually a way to avoid "losing money", that is, do not turn the treasure chest into gold, but directly open it first.
Then try to strengthen each item individually. In this way, you can determine whether the item is enhanced by "craft" or "characteristics" for the first time.
“However, this also has a disadvantage, that is, some things cannot be found in low-level boxes at all, such as ‘wonderful items’.”
"The most important thing is that I have the talent to turn stone into gold. If I don't open the golden box, I always feel like something is missing!"
Xia Tian muttered.
Immediately, "320" luck points were consumed to upgrade the treasure box in hand to a "Silver Treasure Box (Transformation)", and "640" luck points were consumed to upgrade it to a "Golden Treasure Box (Transformation)" Transformation)".
Thanks to killing a large number of bone undead and jackals, the luck value that was originally a little stretched has become abundant again.
“Furthermore, the consumption of luck power has not increased much compared to the mortal level.”
Spending less than 1,000 points, Xia Tian is still quite satisfied.
Although it is larger than the mortal treasure chest, it is not too outrageous!
Of course, it is probably because it has just started.
In the future, as the laws of heaven and earth determine that the higher the level of transformation of the items that can be found in the treasure box, the corresponding "Midas to gold" will consume more and more power of luck!
“So, while it’s still cheap, it’s definitely not a bad thing to open more gold boxes.”
Xia Tian comforted himself.
Well, he had to admit that it was actually because of the anticipation of opening the highest-level box that he was destined to get gold, which he couldn't give up.
“Open!”
This time, two brilliant golden lights appeared in the field of vision.
[Obtained: Dragon Boat (gold), Thunder Bow (gold), Water Treading Talisman·10 (green), Spirit Stone·20 (white)]
"Hey, double gold? I'm definitely making a lot of money this time!"
Xia Tian suddenly beamed with joy.
It’s like playing a certain game and getting double yolk eggs ten times in a row, using up a lifetime of energy!
Two golden items of transcendental level.
The first one turned out to be a boat with a length of more than ten meters, with a large number of gold and white jade decorations on the surface, and a majestic shape that made people feel luxurious and noble at a glance.
[Dragon Boat (Gold)]
[Level] Metamorphosis
[Characteristics] Fubo (It travels extremely smoothly on the water and can suppress the invasion of hurricanes and waves)
[ Description】Made with the dragon bone as the core, ordinary aquatic creatures will not dare to approach. The whole body is finely polished with master-level skills, and it is magnificent. It can drive water at high speeds with the help of spiritual stones!
And the second golden item.
It is a war bow with a very strange shape and dark material. It only has a bow body but no string.
[Thunder Bow (Gold)]
[Level] Metamorphosis
[Characteristics] Thunder Arrow (can withstand the power of thunder and transform it into A large number of them are integrated into the arrows)
[Explanation] A war bow made of thunder wood requires spiritual power or supernatural power with the attribute of thunder to be used... Because the power of thunder is huge, every time it is used All will cause certain damage to the arrows (arrows below the mortal level will be directly destroyed).
[Remarks] This item is quite special. If used in thunderstorms, there is a risk of lightning strikes.
“Good guy, are you sure?”
After Xia Tian saw the properties of the second golden item, he looked stunned.
This was the first time he had seen equipment with such a strong negative effect. It would not only destroy the arrows when shooting, but also risk being struck by lightning.
“Most people don’t dare to use this thing at all.”
"But I can think about it. My special power itself is the 'Power of Thunder'. It can be improved by absorbing and exploring the same type of power in the 'Eternal Land'... Being struck by lightning is not necessarily a bad thing!"
Xia Tian returned the bow in his hand to the lord space.
Although "Dragon Boat" has a golden name, it obviously contains a little water. It is one of those items that is relatively flashy and relies more on craftsmanship to become golden.
But this "Thunder Bow" is truly the top equipment at the current stage.
With this Mortal Transformation Bow, I can fully exert the effect of "Cloud-Cracking Stone Arrow" and my own special power. Even when facing silver-level alien heroes, I am not afraid at all, and even may prevail.
After all, the power itself belongs to the golden hero!
Then, Xia Tian’s eyes fell on the remaining two items.
Ten green-quality "water-treading talismans" can allow people to walk on water for a certain period of time, but each talisman can only be used once.
The spirit stone is the product of the fusion of heaven and earth.
The previous rain of spiritual energy filled the entire world with abundant spiritual energy.
But as time goes by, today's spiritual energy has gradually become thinner, and relying solely on absorbing the spiritual power in the air will be very slow.
Therefore, it is necessary to find channels to obtain additional spiritual power.
The most direct way is to swallow food containing spiritual power, including the flesh of mortal beasts, or some spiritual fruits that absorb spiritual energy and are born after the fusion of heaven and earth.
In addition, it is to look for the "spiritual stones" and "spiritual veins" that were condensed after the previous rain of spiritual energy fell into the ground.
Because, spiritual stones not only provide training, but more importantly, many transformation-level artifacts also need to be driven by "spiritual stones", such as the golden-quality "dragon boat" he just obtained ".
It can be said that the pursuit of the spirit stone veins will become the target of many races and forces. Whoever can seize it first will be able to gain the advantage of increased strength!
Of course, for human lords, being able to get spiritual stones directly from treasure chests is much better than many alien races from other worlds.
“Although the medicine I wanted to treat fire poison was not prescribed from the treasure chest.”
“But among the four items, the 'Dragon Boat' and the 'Water Treading Talisman' Both of these are related to water. Is it the will of the earth that reminds us that we need to go to places related to water to find solutions?"
Afterwards, Xia Tian pondered.
After the second fusion of heaven and earth, the nearby environment has undergone tremendous changes.
I don’t know if some areas with water will be added in summer.
But he knew that the river near the territory would definitely use boats.
Due to the fusion, the river is now only one mile away from the edge of his territory. Even through the dense woods, the sparkling waves on the water can be vaguely seen.
“I just don’t know that the solution is some kind of spiritual creature that grows in water and can cure fire poison. I am still a person who has a way to remove fire poison!”
Xia Tian's heart is of course more looking forward to the latter.
After all, if he guessed correctly, the doctor who could come to his territory would most likely be the top-potential golden man he was looking forward to, Hua Tuo!
......
"Are you really Hua Tuo? The miracle doctor Hua Tuo!" At the same time, in a hidden jungle on the other side of the river.
The sloppy swordsman who said "I have to pay more" before was looking at the old man opposite who was carrying the medicine basket with suspicion!
"The old man is indeed Hua Tuo. I don't dare to be called a miracle doctor. I can only say that he has some medical skills."
"You want to chop off my arm, and this is just a mere How much medical skills do you know?"
The sloppy swordsman pointed at his purple-black arm that was swollen as much as his thigh, and looked at the old man who was carrying the medicine basket and called himself "Hua Tuo" with a very unkind expression.
The process begins with the previous encounter between the two.
Not long ago, with a body that reached the limit of the ninth-level human body and a scarred Miao sword, the sloppy swordsman still won the final victory even though he faced ten scorpions of the seventh-level mortal level.
But immediately after, his face changed color.
Because, a scorpion man who is much taller than an ordinary scorpion man, with a purple carapace that looks like a battle armor, appears, holding a two-meter-long pitch black weapon in his hand. The sword struck towards him.
This is an extremely powerful alien, even much stronger than him who has reached the limit of human beings.
Only the first time they fought, the already broken Miao Dao was chopped to the ground by the dark sword in the opponent's hand.
If he hadn't reacted very quickly and retreated, he would have been cut in two by the opponent with a knife!
"Be careful, he is a foreigner who has broken through the limit and entered the stage of 'transformation'!"
The old man in the medicine basket, who had a relaxed expression even when he was being chased before, suddenly changed his expression. Gotta get serious.
At the same time, he took out a large bag of unknown medicinal powder from his medicine basket and threw it towards the purple scorpion man who was about to further chase the sloppy swordsman with his sword.
“Humph…”
As a powerful person at the metamorphosis level, the purple scorpion man's reaction was very fast, and he split the flying medicine bag with a backhand knife in the air.
Bang.
But immediately, a large amount of powder was spilled from the exploded medicine bag, hitting him all over his head and face. Following the purple scorpion man's originally very sharp movements, he suddenly became a little sluggish and slow. Incongruous with.
"This pack of mortal grade Ma Fei Powder can only affect him temporarily. Hurry up and attack the vital points three inches above his abdomen with all your strength!"
The old man in the medicine basket shouted.
As a master who can survive alone in the wild for seven days, the Sloppy Swordsman will naturally not miss the opportunity.
The remaining half of the Miao Dao in his hand, supported by the limit of human body strength, used all his strength to strike hard at the spot mentioned by the old man in the medicine basket.
“Clang!”
The sound of the blade breaking through the carapace was accompanied by the purple blood of the purple scorpion man splattering everywhere.
However, at the same moment when the sloppy swordsman's broken sword hit the target, the purple scorpion man also forcibly broke away from part of the influence of "Ma Fei San", with a one-foot-long poisonous needle on his tail. A layer of black light emerged and pierced his arm at the same time, even piercing through the bones!
Of course, after the vital point was penetrated, the other party immediately stopped moving.
But the sloppy swordsman's arm, stabbed by the purple scorpion man's tail needle, also swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turned into a terrifying purple-black color in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, there is a doctor beside me.
The old man in the medicine basket immediately took out a pair of silver needles, and with just a few needles, the spreading toxin was sealed.
"However, the poisonous needle of this metamorphosis-level scorpion alien pierced your bone, so that the toxin invaded the bone marrow. The old man could not pull it out with this silver needle alone. He could only Suppress the poison on your arm to prevent it from spreading.”
But what the old man in the medicine basket said next made him frown.
“Is there no way to treat it completely?”
Ding Xiu’s face sank.
As a top swordsman living in the late Ming Dynasty, he had seen too much life and death.
Because his only junior brother died, he didn’t care much about the original world. Being able to enter this eternal place is a blessing rather than a curse for him!
But now, he has a new pursuit in his heart. He wants to experience transformation and even higher scenery. If he loses an arm now, he will probably have a difficult road ahead.
"Yes, I can cut off your poisoned arm and replace it with the arm of this mortal-level scorpion man. In this way, not only will your strength not decline, but you will also be able to improve. ! "
The old man in the medicine basket said immediately.
"Oh, are you kidding?"
"Oh, I am really not kidding. Perhaps, I should report my family first. Hua Tuo, Ziyuanhua, Peiguo People from Qiao County..."
If someone else had said this directly, Ding Xiu probably wouldn't believe it.
But when he heard that the other party claimed to be "Hua Tuo", Ding Xiu suddenly believed him.
After all, except for the Eastern Han Dynasty miracle doctor who tried to open Cao Cao’s skull, which doctor would adopt this treatment method of beheading and changing hands?
“Actually, you don’t need to worry about the failure of changing hands.”
“I have tried to join the limbs of different creatures before, but it seems to have a special repulsion ability, not only cannot If you treat a disease, it will cause the disease.”
"However, there are indeed many more supernatural beings in this eternal land than in our original world. The old man discovered that a kind of 'supernatural power' in his body can actually eliminate the rejection between different creatures, and can even heal by replacing blood and organs. It allows you to transform directly into the mortal world. This is much easier than relying on your own cultivation to achieve breakthroughs. Hero, don’t you really think about it?”
Hua Tuo had a look of hope on his face.
"I don't want it anymore. I would rather lose one hand than replace it with this monster's arm."
"By the way, why on earth do you want to dissect the body of this scorpion monster? , don’t tell me it’s just because of the itchy hands!”
Ding Xiu shook his head, and then asked the old man in front of him with a profound tone.
"In fact, when I saw the group of scorpions, they had just killed a group of humans, and they had cut out the hearts of all men, women, and children alive, saying they wanted to sacrifice to their 'gods'!"
"The old man couldn't help it, so he knocked them all down with Ma Fei Powder. Then, in front of them, he disemboweled a scorpion man with the same method and fed his heart to a wild beast passing by. Dog..."
Ding Xiu, who had killed many people, was stunned by Hua Tuo's answer.
The old man in front of him gave him a feeling of immortality, and even his words were somewhat humorous.
His identity is a famous doctor with good hands and benevolence. Unexpectedly, he would kill animals out of anger, even in a "bloody" way of retaliating with tooth!
"Unfortunately, the potency of the Mafei Powder prepared with ordinary-level medicinal materials is still too weak, and this kind of scorpion man is very resistant to Mafei Powder, and the body is too hard. The old man only cut off one, and the rest were Wake up... Fortunately, Hero, you killed them all."
"Well, since you are unwilling to change hands, Hero."
"Then, we must find one as soon as possible. In a safe place to stay, I can prepare the medicine to remove the poison from the flesh and blood of your arms first, and then find another way to remove the poison deep into the bone marrow..."
Then, Hua Tuo said again.
“In fact, I do know a ‘place of refuge’, just on the other side of the river.”
Ding Xiu covered his arms and turned to look at the place on the other side of the river where "stars" were hung to represent human territory.
However, it may be difficult to cross this river now.
Because after the flow surged, the width of the river has exceeded one thousand meters. In addition to some huge and ferocious-looking water monsters, there are also alien races similar to the scorpion people just now!
With one hand disabled, he and Hua Tuo, who didn't have much fighting ability, couldn't cross this river at all.
Is it possible to change the direction and find another "human race·sanctuary"?
"Well, look, there is a boat on the other side of the river, and there seems to be someone on it!"
Just when the two of them had been observing for a while and were about to give up, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Finally I found you, the murderers who killed my brother and my tribe. Unexpectedly, it was just two lowly humans!"
However, when they saw the ship, A voice (common language) also sounded from behind at the same time.
A large group of scorpion men, who looked like they were wearing black armor and with poisonous needles dangling from their tails, emerged from three sides and surrounded them by the river.
And a mortal-level purple scorpion man stared at the two of them with extreme murderous intent.
Especially the dark sword of the purple scorpion man that Ding Xiu picked up after his weapon broke during the battle!
Sorry, it’s a little laggy.
This chapter has been revised and revised, and a lot has been deleted.
In the end, there were only five thousand words left.
I may only update this chapter today, and I will make up for the remaining 1,000 words in a larger chapter tomorrow.
