BXBX NOVEL Chapter 92 - 92: 69. Black curved hook_2
But if the black blood droplets had no deconstruction value, it would mean that Noland Lee had made a wasted trip and would be delayed by a few hours.
Noland Lee weighed his options and decided to go check on the situation of the black blood droplets first.
After waiting for the gale to subside, he crawled out of the crevice between the stones, floated up to a height of ten meters, and discerned the exact landing spot of the black blood droplets.
The good news was that the black blood droplets seemed to be highly corrosive.
Upon landing, they reacted violently with the plants on the ground, sending up black smoke pillars that marked the direction for Noland Lee.
Noland Lee didnt hesitate, flying directly towards the nearest black blood droplet.
The mountain range covered with forest was lush with greenery and fallen leaves.
The refreshing air often mixed with the musty smell emitted by rotting leaves.
Noland Lee had already become accustomed to this scent.
However, as he flew towards the black blood droplets, a stench distinct from that of decomposing leaves entered his nostrils along with the gentle breeze between the trees.
Noland Lee couldnt help but slow down and be on alert.
At this moment, the system sends a message:
[Caution! You have been affected by an unknown influence and have acquired a negative effect with an unknown name.]
To be safe, its better to find out about the negative effect before proceeding and not be too stingy with energy points.
Noland Lee used his thoughts to select the negative effect with an unknown name and silently recited deconstruction.
[System Message: You are about to cast Deconstruction on the negative effect with an unknown name.]
[It is estimated that 3 energy points will be consumed, and the degree of deconstruction will reach 100%.]
[Do you confirm the deconstruction?]
Noland Lee silently recited in his heart:
Confirm the deconstruction.
A brief sense of trance flashed through his mind, and the system message came again:
[Deconstruction Success!] [You have gained the panel information of this negative effect:]
[Name] Soul Corruption [Level] Level 1
[Type] Death-type Magic Effect
[Effect]
When affected by this effect, your Spirit attribute value decreases temporarily by 1 point every minute.
When the Spirit attribute value drops to zero, 0.1 points of Soul Strength will be lost every minute.
[Explanation]
Your Spirit is 15 points, and Soul Strength is 1.2.
If Soul Strength falls below 1 point, you will lose skills, knowledge, or memories at random. The lower the Soul Strength, the more serious the consequences.
Theoretically, you can stay in the Soul Corruption for up to 26 minutes.
The Soul Shield can effectively suppress Soul Corruption. After activating the Soul Shield, you will be temporarily immune to the effects of Soul Corruption.
After leaving the range of Soul Corruption, the temporarily reduced Spirit will recover.
After leaving the Twilight Dream, your lost Soul Strength will recover, but the skills, memories, and knowledge lost due to Soul Strength falling below 1 point will not be restored.
Noland Lee looked up and scanned the dim bloodstains on the shadowy figure.bender
It seems that there are many of these negative magic effect-causing filthy blood on the shadowy figure. I need to be more careful. By the way, the hook that penetrated the shadows skull, could it be a death-type magical creation?
Noland Lee thought while quickly flying towards the root of the black smoke pillar.
In no time, he saw the black filthy blood.
A large area of the forest had withered because of the filthy blood.
The leaves were scorched yellow, decomposing into waste, and the trees were withered and decaying. A strong smell of rot filled the air.
As the cause of all this, the filthy blood originally the size of an adult man had now turned into a small pool one meter square.
The pool of filthy blood was as black as ink, viscous in texture, with numerous tiny bubbles surfacing on it.
As the bubbles burst, strands of greenish-yellow smoke were emitted into the air, tainting the purity and tranquility of these woods.
Greenish-yellow smoke
Noland Lees gaze deepened.
He thought of the poisonous mist in Grave No.1079.
The stinking fog emitted by the undead creatures was exactly like the smoke coming from the filthy blood in front of him.
Moreover.
The figure in the sky was obviously not a human but more like a giant or a deity.
Assuming he is some kind of giant creature.
Then his relationship with the filthy blood was similar to that of the Imperial Fist and the Undead Cult, right?
He is a giant.
The Imperial Fist is also a giant, albeit an artificially created biochemical giant.
The negative effect of filthy blood, Soul Corruption is a death-type magic effect, and the Undead Cult is also an enemy force related to death magic.
In both the Twilight Dream and reality, giants and death-type magic appear to be in clear opposition to each other.
A torrent of thoughts raced through Noland Lees mind.
For a moment, he found it difficult to determine the connection between reality and the Twilight Dream.
If we assume that the conflict between the biochemical giants and the Undead Cult in reality existed first, and then the Twilight Dream came into existence.
Then the so-called Twilight Dream would be a reflection of reality.
But if we assume that the Twilight Dream existed first, followed by the conflict between the biochemical giant and the Undead Cult.
Then the antagonistic scene between the biochemical giant and the undead in reality would be the result of the Twilight Dream interfering with reality.
Whether reality existed first or the Twilight Dream did, its important.
Noland Lee always felt that the Empires development of biochemical giants was not a coincidence.
From the Tatis history knowledge mastered by the original master:
The ancient Tatis Dynasty was a typical feudal dynasty, with no extraordinary individuals, no extraordinary paths, and no one possessed extraordinary power.
However, everything changed dramatically during the process in which the emperor overthrew the old dynasty as a Sin Soldier.
The biochemical giant Imperial Fist is an extraordinary path created single-handedly by the current emperor when he overthrew the old dynasty and established the Empire.
In Tatis history, the Undead Cult infiltrated the royal family of the ancient Tatis Dynasty and secretly plotted an evil plan to sacrifice the entire dynastys people.
And the Tatis emperor was the hero who saw through the Undead Cults conspiracy, prevented the evil plan, and overthrew the evil dynasty.
If Noland Lee hadnt witnessed the Twilight Dream, he would have undoubtedly believed in the Tatis history knowledge and thought that the biochemical giant was independently developed by the Empire.
But now
He saw the Twilight Dream.
A new idea quickly took shape in his mind:
The Tatis emperor was inspired by the Twilight Dream and was thus able to develop the Imperial Fist in reality.
His goal was to recreate the giants of the Twilight Dream using the power of biochemical technology.
Perhaps the evil force of the Undead Cult also discovered the Twilight Dream or other things that could bring extraordinary power and thus mastered death-type magic.
The origin of extraordinary power has always been a topic that no one dared to discuss within the Empire.
It is arcane, obscure, mysterious, full of uncertainty and crises, and very likely to lead people to the Undead Cult.
The original master of Noland Lees body did not know much about this.
The professors at City College were also in the dark about itat least on the surface.
But now it seems that the Twilight Dream, this realistic and bizarre dream, is definitely related to the emergence of the biochemical giant Imperial Fist.
Noland Lee stared at the pitch-black pool for a long time before gradually regaining his senses.
He absentmindedly picked up a branch and threw it into the pool.
The moment the branch touched the water, thick smoke burst out.
In less than half a minute, the branch was corroded away by the filthy blood in the pool, leaving only some residues floating on the surface.
It seems that this pool of filthy blood, other than being highly corrosive and releasing Soul Corruption, has nothing special about it.
Noland Lee was a little disappointed, so he turned around and left.
At this moment, a series of bubbles emerged from the black filthy blood, and as the blood rolled, something that was being rapidly corroded floated up from the bottom of the pool.
Noland Lee stopped, turned his head to look.
The thing floating on the surface was bright red, like a fresh blood clot, or as if it was wrapped in fresh blood.
Noland raised his non-existent eyebrows and released the Deconstruction technique.
[System Message: You are about to launch Deconstruction on the unknown extraordinary feature. An estimated 30 points of energy will be consumed, and this item can be 100% deconstructed.]
Extraordinary feature! The figure in the sky spat out a bunch of extraordinary features!?
Noland Lee was slightly startled, and immediately ran towards the pool..
