Chapter 39 'Upgrade' (seeking further reading)

For creatures on the earth elemental plane, drowning in water is a very bad experience, as if the pores and muscles are mixed with greasy oil, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

The earth troll originally thought that there was nothing worse than drowning in water.

But when that hateful human pressed his blood-stained hands to the rock crack behind him, an unknown fear from his heart began to spread throughout his body due to the abnormality of the elements in his body, until his vision became blurred.

A picture appeared in its eyes.

In front of its eyes, it seemed to see everything imprinted on the screen, which was a flesh and blood monster even larger than the earth element lord.

Under the illumination of the white moonlight, every part of his body was extremely clear. Bubbles filled with pus took root and sprouted on the rotten skin. The deformed internal organs appeared under the transparent skin in the middle, and there were also popping like balloons.

The cysts kept exploding, and thousands of gel-like tentacles appeared behind him flying all over the sky.

Just by looking at it, the giant earth monster seems to be seeing a deformed body formed by the combination of countless earth giant monsters, and it is hard to bear to look directly at it.

Although the mental immunity of elemental life is extremely high, even a legendary mage may not be able to enslave such a creature with his spirit, but the curse in Woody's blood comes from an ancient evil that was born earlier than the gods.

Simply put.

Under his corrupted aura, regardless of any saving throw, any creature with an intelligence exceeding 6 will be affected by the curse and transform into various corrupted monsters.

As time passed, the earth giant felt uncomfortable all over.

It seemed as if there were a thousand iron pickaxes digging wildly inside its body, or a giant digging insect was biting the elemental core in its body.



Woody, who was resting on the shore, saw all the changes in the giant monster's body, but there was no surprise in his eyes. He just carefully wrapped the wound on his chest with the torn off cloth.

Just now, he had seen that what was oozing out of his wound was not blood, but yellowish pus.

The status of the personal panel has also been changed from the original "sub-health", "parasite II" and "vulnerable II" to "blood loss", "parasite III" and "vulnerable III".

"The curse is getting worse!"

Woody could already feel something under his skin trying to break out of the ground and sprout. Woody knew clearly that the roots of the rotten mother tree were taking root in his wound, preparing to expand a second battlefield in Woody's body. It wouldn't take long.

, Woody's chest will be covered with pustules and cysts like those on the back of his neck.

But he still has no regrets. It is not his nature to sit back and wait for death.

He was now staring intently at the reaction of the crouching hill-like earth monster under the clear water after being exposed to the curse of the form.

Woody doesn't know yet whether infection will help or not.

After all, this was also his first time experimenting on a monster's body.

In the past, he was more infected.

But according to his gaming experience, any creature that comes into contact with the blood of corruption has a high probability of being infected by the "Deformed Curse" and eventually becomes a glorious and perfect Deformed Abnormal.

This is the distortion and magic contained in the blood of ancient evil things.

If the curse is caused by an ordinary cultist, it can also be removed with divine magic.

If you really come into contact with the body of the evil thing, the infection will not be cured by any magic or spell, and even the soul will be distorted along with it, completely turning into a twisted and terrifying weird creature.

It cannot be reversed or violated.

Woody stared at it for about half an hour, during which time he entered the water two or three times, interrupting the stubborn earth giant monster from casting spells. However, its reaction now seemed not as intense as before, and its body was much more rigid.

.

Finally, a burst of dense bubbles emerged from the water.

Woody saw the earth element that was originally covered by hard boulders. At this moment, he could actually see the shallow sarcoma that can only grow on flesh and blood creatures, stubbornly breaking through the gaps where the rocks are connected, like a hybrid plant.

It pushes out as tenaciously as grass.

It really works!

The curse of the Corrupted Mother Tree is indeed the same as before and can be spread through blood!

Seeing this takeover, Woody couldn't help but feel relieved.

Although he already knew that this world was a world he was familiar with.

But this was his first desperate fight in the face of a desperate situation, which made his heart beat violently.

Fortunately, the blessing of Tymora, the goddess of luck, was on his side this time.

Woody drew out the steel sword from his back and hesitated no longer. The opportunity had appeared, and he had no reason to stop at this last moment.

The disgusting thing about elemental life is that you can't penetrate his defense, so you can't hurt him.

The damage caused by your attack doesn't even heal itself fast enough.

But this time after the earth giant was infected with the curse of the form, the elemental creatures began to transform into semi-elemental creatures, and the advantages no longer existed.

Woody's steel sword easily penetrated the earth monster's stone skin, which was corrupted and no longer hard.

A row of data appears.

"Successful hit."

"You caused 8 points of weakness damage to the earth giant!"

Woody's face lit up, he was finally able to cause damage again.

This time, his underwater swordsmanship was swung faster than usual, as if he recalled the scenes of fighting in the ocean in the past.

Stabbing, cutting, splitting, teasing, and wiping were all used on this earth giant monster that was in a state of embarrassment but had no choice in the water.

The health value of the second-level earth giant is about 200 points. After the health points are exhausted, the rock surface originally used to support the elemental core of the earth giant will all break away, leaving the purest elemental core.

Its consciousness will also collapse directly with the emergence of the elemental core.

However, if the elemental core is put into the land or the earth elemental plane to breed again, the earth monster will be reborn soon.

When Woody once again easily dodged a straight attack from the struggling earth giant monster, and inserted the long-edged dagger in his hand into another rock that had entered a state of corruption, its body finally failed to support it.

It was like a toy that fell to pieces and fell to the bottom of the river piece by piece.

And a row of data also provides timely feedback.

"Activate the backstab!"

"The backstab successfully hits, and your weak point attack on the earth monster causes 12 (+3) physical damage."

"The earth giant's rocky body has disintegrated...the earth giant is dead."

"You successfully killed the earth giant monster and gained 750 experience points."



The cross-level challenge directly pushed Woody's experience value directly over the 2,000 mark. As long as he wants to, he can upgrade his witcher level to level 3 at any time.

However, Woody did not forget to get the elemental core worth at least 500 gold coins. At the same time, he also found a metal box hidden in the stone. The pattern on the box was similar to the pattern of the "phantom card" he obtained.

Obviously, this is the treasure left behind by the "Changing Mask" that the circus leader has been pursuing so hard.

Woody also put it into the brass ring along with the earth element core.

Then he got out of the water, put his hands on the soft river bank, let his wet long hair stick to the side of his handsome face, and breathed in the fresh air.

This journey is finally over...

His goal was successfully achieved, and his 2,000 experience points were instantly reduced.

——"The demon hunter profession has been upgraded to level 3."

——"Acquire 22 skill points and increase health by 13 points."

——"Acquire feats (choices)."

——"Get the seal (choice)"
