"The potion is an elegant mixture, you need to be patient, patient!!!"
Next, the Tianxing team began to disperse to the Aranok Desert to search for the remaining materials for the Deep Sand Island Potion. Anyway, with their strength, they were not afraid of Gorehowl, who had lost their reputation in the jungle, and Beifeng, who was in a state of decline.
Efficiency comes first.
During this period, the native water droplets that can be transformed into oasis in the desert came in handy. Only people living in the desert know the best way to find some special medicinal materials in the desert. In this case, pure strength is the best way to make up for it.
Without experience, not to mention that many of these materials are in hidden maps. The monsters are quite powerful, even worse than the Taraxia Tomb where Baal is imprisoned. No matter how strong the Tianxing people are, they are divided into several small teams.
You also have to take steps step by step.
The original water droplets at least saved the Tianxing team several plot days, and greatly improved the quality of the materials. After all, the difference in picking techniques has a great impact on the quality of the medicinal materials. Obviously, the quality of the potion can even be hidden.
The completion of tasks is crucial!
Not all of the supplies Gao Xu bought from the special store can be used in this dark world, just like the rewards from the treasure box may not be applicable to him, but no matter whether they can be distributed immediately
When used, it is an improvement.
Where does the foundation of a team come from? It is accumulated bit by bit in this way. Maybe an item that seemed useless at the time will play an unparalleled role in a specific environment in the future, such as Ye Yutong's contribution to Gao
Asahi's Ten Lixiang once saved lives in the world of fairy swords. This is also the reason why the top team An Ming can even take out apparently unrelated soul salvation scrolls!
Back to the subject, in the process of collecting the medicinal materials, Lysander couldn't wait to rush, as if he wanted to use the success of this refining to wash away the shame and shadow of the previous failure. When everything was ready and all he needed was the east wind, he roared again
Be patient and rush all Tianxing outside to wait...
If Deckard Cain hadn't been inside, Gao Xu would have really doubted whether this character with a bad character would be greedy for their material. Fortunately, Lysander was not despicable to that extent. After a long wait, the door was closed heavily.
The ground opened, and he couldn't help but stepped out, holding a bottle of dreamy potion firmly in his hand. After shaking it for a while, a strange feeling of dryness, heat, yet coolness and comfort filled everyone's hearts. In a trance, the blue sky,
In the ordinary desert scenery of white clouds, yellow sand, and blazing sunshine, seven majestic and huge ancient tombs slowly emerged...
A great building built by the Horadrim to trap and seal the location of Baal, the Demon God of Hell!
"Why does the potion show the image of Tarasha Tomb? Is it a hint?"
There was no doubt that the Deep Sand Island potion was made, but the strange shape of the potion made Gao Xu think about it. But the next moment, Gao Xu no longer had to guess, because the message came from the coat of arms:
"Number 1897 completed the S-level hidden mission: the reappearance of the Deep Sand Continent potion. Mission duration: 1 day, 18 hours and 49 minutes. Material quality: extremely high, potion refining level: perfect, total completion level: perfect, obtained as follows
Reward: 10,000 points, 10 free attribute points, Deep Sand Continent Potion*1. Leisander's favorability has been greatly improved, currently 84/100."
"Number 1897 has obtained the permission to trigger a series of hidden tasks. Do you want to trigger it? If you choose Yes, please talk to the plot characters Deckard Cain, Jehain, and Drognan in turn. If you choose No, the series of hidden tasks will be automatically closed."
"Attention, please note that the series of hidden tasks are extremely difficult, and there is no possibility of giving up once started. Failure will be severely punished, so please choose carefully."
A series of hidden missions!
As soon as this word fell into Gao Xu's eyes, he immediately held his breath. If he had not experienced the Battle of Jenova in Final Fantasy, he might not have known that there was such a branch in the hidden mission. Now he deeply understands this.
The huge benefits and benefits of this mode, not to mention the resurrection skill? Shanda’s gospel is a benefit that even the three-level and tenth-level bosses cannot give!
However, Gao Xu did not choose to trigger it immediately. Instead, he looked at the blood-red attention prompt and fell into deep thought.
Don't think that in the Battle of Jenova, the series of hidden missions were completed easily and comfortably, and the warnings were just alarmist. It was mainly due to Zhao Ling'er's glory, not the strength of the Tianxing team itself. This time it is different. Tianxing is needed.
Complete it independently, and even consider the possibility of European and American teams lagging behind!
"Fortunately, this mission is triggered on the second difficulty level. The greater mission danger is compared to the second difficulty level. Even if it is a red S+ level, I am sure to eat it. The only thing worth worrying about is, will it extend to the third difficulty level?"
Gao Xu narrowed his eyes. This was not a random guess. If the second level of difficulty, S+, could not accommodate the high difficulty of the series of hidden tasks, it would not be impossible for the situation to increase to the third level of difficulty. It was just that the probability was low enough to be ignored. However, in view of the series of hidden tasks.
Quests are inherently low-probability events. I’m afraid there aren’t many in the entire Diablo world. It’s not surprising that they reach difficulty level three!
"That's good. We were originally going to the third difficulty area. Just being able to catch an amulet on the second difficulty is just a matter of luck. The other rewards are too infrequent and I don't like it!"
In the main story of Diablo II, the first difficulty area is Rogge Camp, Andariel is the peak boss of first difficulty, Lu Gao is in the second difficulty area, Duriel is the peak second difficulty area, and then from Kurast Seaport
At the beginning, they were all at the third difficulty level, because they were all dealing with the Three Dark Demon Gods. Even if their strength dropped significantly, they would not be able to be reduced to the first or second difficulty levels like Andariel and Duriel in the human world!
High-difficulty reincarnators cannot go to low-difficulty areas, which means that they cannot return to Rogge Camp in Lu Gaoyin, and they cannot return to Lu Gaoyin in Kurast Seaport. On the other hand, there are no restrictions, such as entering Fairy Sword for the second time.
At that time, the Tianxing team with the identity of the first difficulty went to Yangzhou, Beijing and Shushan in the second difficulty area, and finally cleared the Demon Locking Tower and won the second difficulty guardian boss, the Prison Ming King!
There is no doubt that the current Tianxing team has no hope of overcoming the third-difficulty defensive boss. But this does not prevent the Tianxing team from fighting in the third-difficulty area and killing some weaker bosses, such as the famous model worker Mephisto.
…
And don’t forget, Gao Xu’s heraldry space also contains the “Lost Fragmentary Pages of the Talisman Word Combination” dropped by the Dark Underworld Team. After entering the Dark World, it shows that the remaining two fragmentary pages are in flames.
Near the river and Chaos Sanctuary, if you want to collect them all, you must enter these two three-difficulty areas, not to mention another major goal of Tianxing, recruiting a healing mercenary. It also requires three difficulty levels, and the second difficulty level is really satisfactory.
No need!
To sum up, this time in the world of Diablo, difficulty level three is a must. Otherwise, Gao Xu wouldn’t have to make so many preparations!
Of course, in the third difficulty area, the Tianxing team is not invincible and must be careful. If a popular boss like Mephisto targets too many teams, it may not be their turn. The popular mercenaries are also competing for reincarnation.
Therefore, if the series of hidden missions continues and can unearth plots that other reincarnations cannot access, as long as the person facing off is not a being like Barr, who is level 3 and ten in difficulty, he will be extremely happy!
How likely is Barr?
This is really uncertain. Originally, Baal was the boss of the fifth act, the expansion pack Lord of Destruction. It can be called the final boss of Diablo II, and it involves the World Stone. Logically speaking, the possibility is very small, but don’t forget
Baal is sealed in the ancient tomb of Tarasha, which is only a hundred miles away from here. The phantom of the Deep Sand Continent potion just seemed to indicate something. Maybe he will really have to fight with the three most powerful demon gods of hell.
!
Then do it or not??
There’s nothing to say, go ahead, because after the main plot, Baal’s soul stone is still in the hands of Mariov (the one who plays the part in the CG animation). It can be seen that Baal is not invulnerable. It would be foolish for the reincarnation to take advantage of it. Difficulty level three is ten.
Level? Humph, it is still unknown whether he has achieved that level of blessing!
Thinking of this, Gao Xu did not hesitate and immediately chose to trigger!
After receiving the prompt, Gao Xu first talked to Deckard Cain. The old man, who was extremely knowledgeable about the Horadrim lineage, told him that all the preparations were in place, but if he wanted to perfectly restore this sacred object, he still had to ask the royal heir.
It would be best for Jie Hein to ask, and Gao Xu naturally had no objection.
When everyone came to the palace, Jehein listened to Deckard Cain's story, and the Shasha Potion was vividly placed in front of his eyes. He was so excited that he almost fainted, and immediately told all the details he knew.
Said it out.
Then, Jie Hein introduced Zhuo Genan. When it comes to ordinary magic attainments, Zhuo Genan is indeed a top-notch mage. With his assistance, he is 100% sure of restoring the sacred objects of his ancestors!
Sure enough, when Deckard Cain, Jehain, Lysander, and Drognan, the four most important plot characters of Lu Gaoyin, constructed a six-pointed star barrier in the palace temple, the first three people entered the formation and took out the three mission props.
Put them in together, and after a series of dazzling operations, the sound of ups and downs incantations resounded in all directions, and the magic power shook the sky. The entire Lu Gaoyin seemed to be trembling. The residents on the street stopped their movements one after another and couldn't help but stare.
southwest.
This is really a strange scene. The imperial palace is obviously in the east. When there is movement from the palace, you should look to the east. However, if Gao Xu and others are outside the palace, they may also have to look to the southwest, because there...
Earth-shaking changes are taking place!
First, the overwhelming black fog filled the air, covering up even the yellow sand and the blue sky. Then a huge roar came from the ground, as if something terrifying was making its final twist and struggle. Finally, a strange cold wind began.
Howling between heaven and earth, from far to near, even the residents of Lugaoyin unconsciously covered their faces with cloaks to slightly relieve the stinging sensation from the cold wind, the stinging sensation that penetrated their bones!
"This is..." Gao Xu was originally in the position of a bystander, and his mind was not entirely focused on the six-pointed star array. As soon as the change occurred, he immediately felt it, rushed out of the palace, and his sword flew up.
"Baal and Tarasha?!" With his strength, he saw more than just the surface. Inside the black mist, there was a ferocious face that penetrated the sky and the earth, roaring silently, but it soon turned into a
An old man with a slender face and wise eyes closed his eyes and muttered something, and then the two appeared alternately, one moment the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, and the other moment the west wind overwhelmed the east wind!
There is no doubt that one of these two images is the Demon God of Destruction Baal, one of the Three Dark Demon Gods. The other is the leader of the Horadrim Sect, who led mankind to hunt down the three demon gods, and finally sacrificed himself to seal Baal's body.
Tarasha, Belial's suit "Talasha's Sacrifice" is based on this!
However, even Gao Xu didn't know. To be precise, he never expected that at this moment, a war concerning the survival of the world was erupting in the Taraxia Tomb!
Both sides of the war——
Dark Wanderer vs Justice Angel Tyrael!
This is the most eye-catching battle in the main plot. The current Dark Wanderer is equivalent to Diablo himself plus the power of a generation of heroes. His strength is getting stronger day by day. The only drawback is that the will of the generation of heroes still remains.
To a certain extent, it hindered Diavolo's behavior. In addition, some evil plots caused the Dark Wanderer to be pinned down when fighting Tyrell. He could only passively bear the power of the Holy Sword Ed with his magic power.
Luin's blow is undoubtedly a huge shame for the fearful demon god who defeated Tyrell with his own hands two hundred years ago and imprisoned him in the tomb for two hundred years!
However, Tyrael, who had the upper hand, failed to discern Diavolo's true purpose for a while. Diablo's fight with Tyrael was not to seek abuse, but to confuse Mariov, his brother Baal, who was already on the verge of escape.
It was the mage Tarasha who made him mistakenly believe that he was bound to the imprisoning rune pillar and suffered endless suffering. He pulled out the soul stone from his chest and released Baal.
Tyrael in the original plot was fooled, and the unknowing Mariov pulled out Baal's soul stone, and was eventually killed by Baal. So what will happen this time?
An accident. An accident that can even be called a turning point in the plot happened!
At the moment when Mariov's palm touched the chest of the kind-hearted old man and had already grasped the yellow soul stone, Lu Gaoyin's side happened to be restoring and unsealing the ancestral sacred object. In the next breath, Tara
Xia's phantom disappeared automatically and was replaced by a huge tentacled monster. Looking at the burning eyes, Mariov felt an extreme pain of being burned all over his body, as if every cell in his body was burning.
After being destroyed into dust, he let out a scream and flew back desperately, so the Soul Stone...
Not pulled out!!!
"No! No!!! No!!!!" The dark wanderer who was always paying attention here let out an extremely angry roar, and his crazy power suddenly burst out, and Tyrell was caught off guard and was violently shaken away.
, discerned Diavolo's conspiracy, guarded Baal, and condensed a holy light, taking advantage of both parties' full strength to break through the sealing barrier of the ancient tomb, and passed it out.
After a few breaths, Deckard Cain, who was far away in the Lu Gaoyin Palace, was shocked. He seemed to be receiving some information. Then his face showed a look of extreme shock. Even after looking at it, it returned to a purple meaning.
The amulet with a faint red brilliance was too late, and he immediately rushed out of the palace and said to Gao Xu: "Dear warrior, something bad has happened. The claws of hell have invaded Tarasha's ancient tomb, and they are preparing to release Baal...
…”
At the beginning, although Gao Xu showed fear and nervousness on the surface, he was actually very calm in his heart. There was nothing surprising about the plot that he had already known. But as Deckard Cain eagerly told it, Gao Xu also really changed his expression:
"Fortunately, our actions just now inadvertently destroyed Barr's escape. Archangel Tyrell sent out a request for help. The Fear Demon will come back again. We must quickly enter the ancient tomb and defend the Soul Stone!"
"Number 1897 triggers a series of S+ level hidden missions: the defense of the confinement and seal in the Tomb of Talashah. Enter the real Tomb of Talashah, open the core stone chamber, and assist the Angel of Justice Tyrell to stop the conspiracy of the Dark Wanderer and defend Baal.
Imprisonment seal. After completing the task, you will receive the following rewards: 20,000 points, 20 free attribute points, reputation increased by 1-3 points, Lu Gaoyin's reputation increased significantly, Deckard Cain's favorability increased greatly, and Tyrell's favorability was turned on.
And increased significantly, the legendary amulet? Kidd's luck was further unlocked,??? (the reward range fluctuates according to the degree of completion, uncertain). If the task failed, 20 points of the highest main attribute would be deducted, Lu Gao's reputation dropped significantly, and Dika
Kane's favorability has dropped significantly, and the legendary amulet? Kidd's luck has lost the opportunity to further unblock it. (Punishment fixed)"
"Is this such a development trend? A series of hidden missions intervene in the original plot, giving us a way to eliminate Baal in advance. Well, elimination may not be possible, because the three dark demons are almost immortal, but at least they can
It can inflict extremely severe damage on it, so that it can no longer cause trouble in Harrogath. Hey, wouldn't the fifth act of the original plot be... very, very good!"
Before Deckard Cain finished speaking, Gao Xu had already straightened out the situation and felt deeply that the decision he just made was wise.
What the Tianxing team cannot afford is the Demon God of Destruction who defrauded Mariov of the Soul Stone, absorbed all of Tarasha's knowledge, and restored half of the Demon God's strength, instead of being sealed in Tarasha's body and enduring endless suffering.
To put an end to the torture of the semi-crippled Baal, it was now obvious that the target of the series of hidden missions was Baal, so naturally...
Kill him while he's sick!
Next, Gao Xu further clarified the reason through the conversation with Jie Hain. The recovery of Lu Gaoyin's ancestor's sacred objects revealed a dusty past event——
Before Baal was sealed, the tyrannical Demon God of Destruction was hunted by the Horadrim sect. After escaping to the Aranok Desert, he rushed into Lu Gaoyin's royal family and massacred to vent his anger. The contemporary emperor Lu Gaoyin used
The legendary amulet? Kidd's luck resisted Baal's endless curse, but he was defeated due to the gap in strength. The holy object was also contaminated by the magic power of hell. In desperation, the Horadrim mage used the Deep Sand Island potion to transform the holy object into a
For the appearance of the ring, it was used by the descendants of the royal family as a reward symbol for Lu Gaoyin's heroes, hoping that the warriors could create miracles and restore the ancient glory of the legendary amulet.
"The day has finally arrived. The legendary amulet? Kidd's luck broke through Barr's magical shackles. Not only did he initially unblock it, but he also destroyed Barr's conspiracy to escape. It can be seen that our wise ancestors are always protecting us..."
At this point, Jie Hein stroked the amulet with mysterious runes, his face showing reluctance, but he still handed it to Gao Xu resolutely, "Dear warrior, no one can deny your bravery and achievements.
You are its best master. Take it to Tarasha's ancient tomb and break the power of the Hell Demon to sink the world. I believe you can do it!"
This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. If you change it to a plot character in Eastern culture, if a sacred object lost by your ancestors is found by someone else, they will exchange it for the sacred object with a generous reward at any cost, otherwise it would be a great unfilial piety.
It was disrespectful to his ancestors, but Jie Haiyin took the initiative to give it to Gao Xu, firmly believing in the principle of making the best use of everything!
Legendary amulet? Kidd’s luck (the first level of unsealing): Purple equipment, low-quality, amulet, unique equipment in the world of Diablo. The sacred object of Lu Gaoyin’s ancestor, said to be a divine object passed down from the highest heaven, possesses

Now only part of the magical effects have been restored, and the magical atmosphere of the fallen and dark hell still remains on it.

.Put it into the heraldry space to take effect.
Magic item drop rate increased by 25%!
Points earning rate increased by 10%!!
This is only the initial unblocking!!!
Seeing that the amulet was placed safely in the heraldic space, Gao Xu took a deep breath, his eyes bursting with fighting spirit and fighting spirit, and said categorically: "The Demon God of Fear and the Demon God of Destruction, you are the true heroes of my Tianxing.
