Chapter 24 Strengthening the Parchment(1/2)
"Elite monsters with five times the attributes, which means their blood volume has reached at least 5,000 points, are probably much more difficult to deal with than gold coin monsters..."
Cheng Shen was a little anxious.
Moreover, the attack time of the third wave of monsters is nine hours later. For other survivors, it is already dawn by then. However, he used the acceleration scroll to advance the refresh time of the next wave of monsters by three hours!
Before, he was glad that he didn't have to fight at night.
Now it seems that it is too early to be happy.
He first used the two defense tower blueprints.
After building the Tiangongfang, Cheng Shen happened to have two primary energy crystals left, and the special materials needed for the Dark Abyss Tower and the Wooden Vine Tower: Abyss Stone and Wood Essence, could be exchanged for purchase through the trading platform.
Talk about it.
Although he received an S-level rating this time, he obtained the legendary talent.
But in fact, this does not give him the capital to continue to achieve an S-level rating.
In the short term.
The income generated is not as good as the gold coin scrolls rewarded in the first wave.
Tiangongfang can at least earn some resources.
However, Dameng can only produce 10 iron tools at most in an hour.
A piece of iron can earn the profit of an iron ingot.
There are five hours left.
The resources that can be earned are also quite limited.
As for legendary talents.
It doesn't even help at all.
Looking at the only ten gold coins, Cheng Shen's eyes turned red.
Poor!
Of course, he still has a lot of meat and red flowers and grass, which are life-saving resources, that he can exchange for.
But the resources he could exchange for it were just a drop in the bucket for him.
"We can't all count on Zhang Yao's return..."
Cheng Shen murmured.
His eyes unconsciously drifted to the well.
His intuition told him that the choices given by the system were both dangers and opportunities, and the key to his recovery might be hidden in that strange barrel of black water.
Energy control!
He thought silently in his heart.
A ray of golden-red divine light lit up deep in his eyes.
Suddenly, in his vision, colorful and shining light spots floated between the sky and the earth, some were red, some were green, some were purple...
There are gray ones.
Like a thick fog, this darkness fills every corner of the night, forming an airtight network that envelops the entire world, rendering the world only gray and white.
It's like a faded black and white old movie.
Cheng Shen discovered that in this state, his sight could penetrate the darkness outside the territory and see further.
He saw that the black figure standing in front of the territory had dark black mist rising from its body. Faces in the mist were biting each other, and every thin black line wrapped around its body was actually a twisted bone hand.
.
These arms kept digging at the gates and fences, making a squeaky friction sound that made Cheng Shen's heart twitch. Fortunately, even if they scratched through the fences, they could not penetrate into the protective range of the fire.
And further away.
There were also seven figures of different heights, short, fat, and thin standing in the forest with their backs to him. They were wearing ancient clothes. It was worth noting that each figure was missing a part of its body, and the missing parts were different.
It seems that it was used to piece together the invisible eighth person.
They are also approaching their territory.
Weird in more ways than one!
"Is this a reminder issued by the system?"
Cheng Shen was sweating in his heart.
He judged with the naked eye the speed at which the seven ghost figures were approaching, and it would only take three nights to reach his territory.
Although, he was looking forward to a life-and-death fight between this unknown weirdness and the Stitched Face standing in front of his territory.
But thinking about the worst, if that happens, the most likely possibility is that there will be a strange fight, and mortals will suffer, and he will be affected first and die...
Therefore, he must come up with a solution within three days, otherwise he may be dead.
Cheng Shen turned his head and looked towards the well. Thick black mist was also rising in the bucket of black water, but it was restricted by the firelight and could not spread out at the mouth of the well.
Compared to the gray that shrouds the world, this deep black mist makes people feel even more palpitating, as if it shouldn't exist in this world.
When his talent was turned on, his perception of energy seemed to increase countless times.
Can perceive some subtle reactions that are usually invisible.
For example, the heat of the fire element, the coolness of the water element, the toughness of the wood element, the sharpness of the gold element...
But he was unable to analyze the composition of this black energy.
confusion?
evil?
None.
It is more like a dead force that can wipe out all vitality.
"Is it really okay to come into contact with this kind of thing..."
Cheng Shen gritted his teeth.
That's it.
He had no room to retreat.
Of course, he was not reckless. Cheng Shen didn't even know how to control this cursed power.
However, there happened to be a cursed object on him that could be used as a reference.
Cheng Shen took out the parchment roll.
The yellowed leather showed an unusual light gold color in the gray and white world, and the black lines carved on it seemed to be printed with gold paint, forming a six-pointed star pattern.
"It seems to be some kind of formation with a sealing effect..."
Cheng Shen looked at the dark mark spreading like thick ink in the center of the pattern and thought to himself.
That dark trace should be an unknown curse power.
But he was trapped in it by the formation outlined in gold paint.
but.
Parchment has a storage limit.
Decades at most.
Cheng Shen had already seen that the edges of this parchment were damaged and wrinkled.
Once it can no longer maintain its form, this curse energy will break out sooner or later. Furthermore, if other curse energy is injected, it will also increase the damage to the parchment and release the curse power early.
No wonder, although this contract of the dead is not very effective, the system still gives such a dangerous warning.
Love is a time bomb that can explode at any time!
Cheng Shen was shocked.
etc……
Suddenly his heart moved.
Isn't the ability that energy control gives him the ability to change the material of items?
perhaps,
He could try to strengthen the parchment...
But there are certain risks.
After all, there are two completely different powers on this parchment, which could accelerate the collapse of the seal in advance.
However,
Can the situation be worse than it is now...
To be continued...
