Abnormal paradise - #427 - Chapter 423: The Drained Core and the Flame Demon Ethereal Spirit

The fire domain dispersed, the ice melted away, and Jesse Pinkman stood inside the volcano with his eyes wide open, breathing heavily.

The effect of the epic ice scroll [Absolute Freezing Qi] not only freezes the Balrog Guardian into an ice sculpture, but also affects the surging magma deep in the volcano, forming a hard stone body known as obsidian in the world.

This kind of stone is difficult to destroy, and is much stronger than the Balrog Guardian. Even the reality warper who can control the earth will find it quite difficult, but Jesse Pinkman can’t find it. The ember hit the ground with an elbow, and he didn’t even find the ember’s escape route. This made him more and more depressed as he thought about it. The more depressed he became, the more he thought about it. In the end, he was so angry that he vomited blood in his chest.

“My energy core…is just gone? Yi Yan, you and I are incompatible! If you still dare to stay here, I will definitely kill you!”

The white teeth were stained with blood, making Jesse Pinkman’s appearance look very ferocious. In the end, he could only barely relieve the stagnant anger with a deafening roar, which could be heard by the forging knife thousands of meters away from the volcano. It was clear and clear that Jesse Pinkman’s hatred and murderous intention were clearly felt.

Blacksmith’s eyelids jumped and he was speechless: “Good guy, is it possible that Bao Quan was taken advantage of by his subordinates again? Humph, I know I can’t believe the bragging I usually do. A newcomer can always give face to me, those old guys It seems like this guy is unreliable. I still have to find a new backer. It would be great if I knew where Professor Downs is. He is more capable than Blast Fist.”

Despite all the slander and disdain, Forged Knife put away his usual casual attitude when he met the gloomy-looking Jesse Pinkman, and deliberately avoided the danger zone to avoid being thrown into the scorched earth continent.

What followed was a journey of silence with a solemn atmosphere. The silent Jesse Pinkman put suffocating pressure on the forging knife, for fear that he would turn his anger on her because of the matter about Ember, and he was about to go there. At the edge of the continent, the former showed no sign at all, so he hurriedly gritted his teeth and asked: “Bang Fist, I have nowhere to go now, why don’t you take me in?”

“Take you in?”

A rhetorical question and a pair of cold eyes made the forging knife tremble with fear. What if Jesse Pinkman did not miss his old friendship and left him here to fend for himself…

Blacksmith didn’t dare to think about it, and Jesse Pinkman didn’t do this either. After a moment to calm down, he said slowly: “I heard that you have a good relationship with the ghost king of the [Water Ghost Gang]?”

The Water Ghost Gang in Beihu District?

Why is he asking this?

Blacksmith knew that this question could determine life and death, so he could only bite the bullet and answer.

“Yes… I know some.”

He groaned first, and then he tentatively finished speaking after seeing that Jesse Pinkman had no abnormal expression. Then he noticed that Jesse Pinkman’s gloomy face had changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard again A sentence that made him nervous.

“There is a person under the Ghost King who committed a murder in our upper city. He fled in fear of the crime and was hidden by the Ghost King. Within two days, you must either bring the prisoner or get me key information about the Water Ghost Gang. Otherwise Don’t want that arm of yours, don’t forget, the treatment plan of the Spirit Witch Guild was approved by me, and the rest of the recovery course is also in my hands.”

When he spoke, Jesse Pinkman intentionally glanced at the severed arm of the forged knife, which made the latter feel a dull pain in the wound. Although he knew that it was dangerous, in order to save his arm, he could only grit his teeth and accept it. .

“Wait for my good news.”

The digestion time of the Fire Demon’s Heart was twice as long as that of the Hundred-Eyed Poisonous Insect. It was not until the end of the writing practice the next day that Yi Yan waited for the prompt, but after seeing the content of the prompt, Yi Yan understood that the wait was definitely worth it.

First of all, swallowing the Balrog Guardian at the peak of the legend, more than doubled the growth progress of the software token from eleven to twenty-five points, and the number of devoured times was even converted into two, making Ember go on a gluttony mission. A big step has been taken to achieve the goal of completion.

In addition, the combat power rating of the twisted incarnation has also officially exceeded the thousand-point mark by absorbing nutrients from the heart of the Balrog while still being evaluated as “essence”, effectively curbing the recent shrinkage of those being pursued. Rating gap.

Finally, and what surprised Ember the most, was the [Exhausted Core] whose essence was drained by the Djinn God Jeffries. Not only could it increase Ember’s strength as the Djinn God said, but it could also improve it by more than a star.

…

[Exhausted Core] (Epic Level)

Item Type: Inlay/Wonderful Item

Function: Embed characters/skills/items to break the shackles and gain unlimited control.

Special effect: Demonic spirit incarnation (summons a “Fire Demon Void Spirit” to add “Fire Demon Power” to fire skills/weapons/props)

Mosaic requirements: epic level

Special effects requirements: Approval of the “Spirit of Fire Demon”

Introduction: This item was originally an “energy core”. After the essence was extracted by “Djinn Jeffries”, it now became the soul residence of the “Guardian of the Fire Demon”, thus producing the special effect “Demon Spirit Incarnation”.

[Tip: Since the essence is completely extracted, the energy core loses its effect “???”. 】

[Tip: You will not be able to start the mosaic operation until the “Guardian of the Fire Demon” leaves. 】

…

There are only two functions and special effects of the depletion core, and the instructions are much less than the software token. Although the inlay function cannot be used, just taking a [Demon Spirit Addition] makes Ember very satisfied.

Because this rare item is the same as the [Holy Tooth Amulet], it does not occupy the equipment slot. If placed in the backpack, it can also summon a mini version of the Balrog Void Spirit to add [The Power of the Balrog] to the soft bomb. Not only can it The attack priority is increased to the authoritative level to further enhance the destructive effect of soft bombs. You can also accumulate soft bombs to release powerful moves similar to the Wrath of the Balrog, becoming a legendary skill blessed by laws!

Under normal conditions, Ember can accumulate a legendary-level soft bomb in his body every ten minutes, but if he is in the avatar state, the activation time can be shortened to five seconds!

Although [Advanced Self-Healing] can already spray ember once per second, this does not mean that the incarnation state is three times per second. It only has three times the self-healing effect of the former.

It is purely because the skill animation limits the activation frequency, otherwise ten sprays per second would not be a problem.

Such an improvement directly gave [Explosion Aesthetics] a second stage effect at the legendary level, allowing Ember to master another reliable ability to compete with legends. As he had basically no talent for naming, he decided to call it [Soft Explosive Bomb]. .

“very good, very powerful!”

Before rushing to the Garden of Eden, Yi Yan went to the wild to test the effect of the demon incarnation. In addition to the above-mentioned exciting increase in combat power, the image of the mini Balrog also made Yi Yan deeply satisfied. The Balrog guardian in the volcano looked fierce. The shape is majestic, but when shrunk to the size of a fist, it looks very cute. If you take it out for shopping, the return rate will definitely be 100%.

The only problem is that the Balrog Guardian was a little depressed because of the disaster he encountered, and Ember teased him several times without responding.

“If you have the chance, you can find some fire treasures to give to it. It will not only build a good relationship, but also provide you with feedback. This Balrog has a good foundation and is worth cultivating.” Djinn God Jeffries gave advice.

“no problem.”

Yi Yan first agreed, and then asked a question that he was very concerned about: “Great Djinn, with [Lamp Wick], how much strength can you restore?”

“I’ll help you fulfill a wish every few days, no problem at all.” The Djinn smiled.

“Really? Any wish can be made? Isn’t this amazing?”

“If you ask me to kill the Creator, of course I won’t be able to do it. But if your wish is at the legendary level, I think most of it can be realized.” The genie Jeffries was in a good mood, and in the prayer lamp He put his hands on his hips and laughed, “If you don’t believe it, won’t you know if you try it yourself after I refine the core energy into a wick in two days?”

“Okay, then I have to think of a good wish! Haha!”

Ember laughed twice and then returned to the wasteland base. He formally reported some findings about the Day Ghost to the commander. He also told the story of his obtaining a super-stable state. He hoped that the foundation could deal with his own body. Be more prepared.

“Your enlightenment… Oh, let’s not talk about it anymore, Yi Yan. I promise you that your contribution to the foundation will be remembered by Mr. Speaker, me and the old tailor, and you will never be treated badly in the slightest!” The commander who was smoking a cigar, his eyes no longer sharp, looked at the embers with admiration.

“As for what you need now? You can ask it on the spot, because the news that the data agent is made of twisted crystals is very important. This and the ultra-stable state have opened up ideas for the Fire Project, and it also means that the data of the Garden of Eden God’s Descendant cannot be used infinitely, but considering that the Creator is an old monster who has lived through many reincarnations, he may have accumulated a large amount of crystals on hand, so the key to breaking the situation must be placed on the leader of the White Ghost!”

“Well, your Excellency is right. The Spirit Witch Association received a warning before it was annihilated. However, there is no possibility of the abnormal guards in Eden leaking the secret, so I suspect that it may be Anduin who managed to intercept the information from the central computer. , next, I will conduct further investigation into the Day Ghost.”

“Okay! In addition, don’t forget to test Tang En. No matter which camp Professor Downs behind him is on, he should be able to find relevant clues about the daytime ghost, and I will organize people to conduct an investigation in the factory area. Focus on exploration and try to find the existence of that technology factory.”

After the commander finished speaking, he finally introduced the infiltration status of other players to Ember: “Basically, in the twenty-six ordinary areas of Eden, there are fire seeds that have come into contact with the underground forces that are secretly entrenched. There are many worthy of cooperation. Characters and forces, if necessary, I hope you can use your official status to cooperate. At the same time, I will fully support your actions and help you gain a foothold in the security department.”

“good!”

Hearing this, Ember nodded heavily. With the commander’s promise, he would no longer fight alone. When necessary, he could rely on the strength of other players, which would be very helpful in continuing to open up the situation.

Finally, Ember raised the issue of the progress of the Gluttony mission, hoping that the foundation could provide him with some legendary beings for him to devour. This request was directly approved by the commander, who agreed to send three legendary beings and a large number of fourth-level creatures as intelligence tomorrow. award.

In this way, the completion speed of the Gluttony mission has also been installed with an engine, allowing it to move rapidly towards the finish line. By then, even if the body tissue of the Tormented Pope has not yet been discovered, [Swallowing Heaven and Earth] will become the first one that truly belongs to him. Legendary abilities.

…

Now completely satisfied, Ember bid farewell to the commander and went back to get the three items he ordered for the puppet girl——

Snow umbrella, three-eyed mask and parasitic cat head.

Due to the particularity of the “wonderful items” type, even if it is difficult for players to play their true role, each item is still valuable. However, when Yi Yan ordered from Peeping Heaven, he did not feel distressed at all.

Gai Yin’s bloody pen spirit’s work attitude was really beyond his expectation. He worked all night long and didn’t stop until all the drawing materials were used up. When the embers entered the [ecological field] again, he watched The three types of cards piled up into a hill were so happy that they couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear.

With such a cash cow, bankruptcy is no longer a problem, and the enhanced card effects are also highly recognized by several major customers, giving Yi Yan the confidence to spend huge sums of money.

After putting away the three strange objects, Yi Yan saw that it was late, so he immediately found the white-haired witch and wanted to enter the Garden of Eden through the evil mural. However, he received a temporary summons from the Creator.

“Is it so sudden… is it because of the ghost space of the day?”

Ember is not worried about Jesse Pinkman taking the initiative to expose last night’s incident, because the latter is more willing to die than him, but he can’t stand that the Creator may have surveillance methods that he has not discovered, so for the sake of safety, Ember decides to temporarily keep the magic lamp of prayer. In the wasteland world, lest the Creator take advantage of the situation to attack.

But when he met the Creator, he realized that he had been wrong, and the three-eyed mask placed in his backpack aroused the Creator’s suspicion.

“Why do you wear the three-eyed mask?”

The Creator’s eyes were cold, and his sensitivity to the three-eyed mask could not be blocked by the space in his backpack. If Ember could not give a satisfactory answer, he even planned to expel Ember from the Chaos Lighthouse.

“Uh-huh…this is a gift for Nina.”

Being stared at by the Creator made chills run down his spine. Yi Yan immediately spoke truthfully. While taking out the three-eyed mask, he also showed two other rare items: “I saw that Ms. Shadow has such a set of rare items. The effect is very good.” Not bad, so I thought of giving it to Nina to help her defend herself.”

“Is this true?”

Hearing that it was a gift for his daughter, the Creator’s doubts were immediately eliminated. After receiving Ember’s chest-beating promise, there was some hostility before, but now he is somewhat certain. However, he did not reveal his true thoughts to Ember. , just waved his hand calmly, asking Yi Yan to put away the gift, and then told the reason for his summons.

“You performed well in the operation to encircle and suppress the Soul Coven, so I ask you to truly participate in the Skeleton Party’s expansion operation and help Jesse Pinkman destroy the [Water Ghost Gang] entrenched in the North Lake District…”
