Dark Shadow Shrine

Chapter 4 Corroded Fangs



The accident happened again, and Karin suddenly fell into a state of rage.

I will never hand over my perfect elder brother to you bunch of stinky men!?

ah! What! ?

Raven was surprised to see Karin who rushed forward without hesitation.

Karin was so fierce that she drew a long bloodstain on the big man's rib with one dagger. This is the result of the big man's emergency dodge. The big man slapped Karin with a backhand, throwing Karin to the ground.

Karin's efforts freed Raven from the big man's grip.

If Raven was simply the top player in the game performing escort missions, he would definitely abandon this npc named Karin without hesitation in such an extremely disadvantaged situation, because death in the game is permanent, Any player has only three lives, and after any one life dies, that character can never get it back.

But now Raven is a fusion of two souls, and he has spent many years with Karin in his soul memory.

Before this moment, Raven really never thought that something like 'I can't control myself' would happen.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he had already counterattacked.

Since it happened, we must do our best.

In a split second, Lei Wen had controlled his muscles and made a left uppercut.

Of course, this kind of clumsy punching method can't hit anyone, the black erosion cultist slapped Lei Wen's fist away with a grinning grin. Raven bumped into him with a shoulder, like an untrained kid fighting.

The Black Eclipse believers don't care too much, how much strength can such a slender body have when bumped into it?

The black eclipse cultist suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his chest, and at some point there was a dagger in his chest.

Elbow punch!

No, this should be an elbow dagger!

The Black Eclipse cultist paid the price for his carelessness, and that price was his life.

Run! Raven's yelling didn't seem to wake up Karin, who was still in a daze, and she looked at Raven with terrified eyes.

Raven soon discovered that Karin was not looking at him, but behind him.

Boom—

Raven felt as if he had been hit by a running bull.

Another Black Eclipse cultist? where is he from?

Ahhhh—

When Lei Wen came to his senses, there was only pain spreading all over his body, and his weak body twitched violently due to some strong stimulus, and he knew that he was in a near-death state without any reminder.

There was chaos in my mind, and there was a deadly suffocation on my neck, and waves of tingling that seemed to melt my brain at any time came from my stomach.

Lei Wen realized that he was being held up high by the neck. The other party was taller than him, and his strength must have surpassed this body.

With a flash of cold light, Karin threw out the dagger as a throwing knife.

bingo?

Missed!

The giant man holding Raven's neck held Raven with one hand, and at the same time rushed towards Karin.

In the next moment, there was only a scream, half of Karin's face was covered in blood, and she fell to the ground, her life and death unknown.

Karin! Don't die!

Gritting his teeth, Lei Wen, the once 118-level god-level assassin, made the best response—hitting the opponent's throat with his knee.

The sudden blow was beyond the opponent's imagination.

A hit, but not fatal.

The knee bump that exhausted Lei Wen's full strength only made the opponent let go due to the pain, and did not feel the touch of crushing the opponent's throat as Lei Wen imagined.

Lei Wen's black vision caused by lack of oxygen has not yet recovered, and the consciousness of the god-level player has made him clear that the opponent's body is too strong. This means that the fortitude save value, which represents the strength of the opponent's body, is too high, and he can't deal effective damage to the opponent in hand-to-hand combat.

Can't beat it!

That guy's level is likely to be far higher than Raven's.

In other words, the opponent's challenge level is too high!

It is conceivable that the opponent's name must be very popular in the game, and it must be a bunch of red question marks in the past.

Vision restored.

Lei Wen, who fell hard to the ground, was still spinning regardless of himself, his eyeballs turned rapidly, looking for a chance of life in his field of vision.

found it!

After three unsightly rolls in a row, he hugged Karin and avoided the opponent's big hand. The superior agility allowed Lei Wen to push Karin into a sewer opening on the edge of the bluestone road in lightning speed, and Lei Wen's thin body followed suit.

The surrounding light suddenly disappeared, and Raven entered a cold and dark world. Breathing gently, the moist and corrupt air filled Lei Wen's lungs, which might be unbearable for ordinary people, but Lei Wen, who was used to walking in the dark, felt a sense of peace of mind.

When the huge forward momentum caused the two of Lei Wen to roll in the sewer a few times, a rude man's roar came from behind his head: Little boy! I will tear you apart!

Lei Wen smiled. The sewer opening was not too narrow, nor could it be said to be wide. From just a glance, Lei Wen knew that the burly man would never get in.

A few seconds later, the man's wanton laughter came from outside the sewer again: Little bastard, do you want to live after being hit by my [Corrosion Tooth]? You can rot in the ditch with that little bitch! Hahahaha!

Lei Wen's first reaction was to curse in his heart: Don't let me survive. Otherwise, I will be the first to kill you!

Cursing in my heart, Lei Wen couldn't be in a good mood.

[Corrosion Tooth] is a magical spell that players rarely encounter in the novice area in Ultron World. A total of 36 points of damage within 3 hours can easily kill a novice three times.

Divine art is not Chinese cabbage, if used indiscriminately, there will be divine punishment. Is it worth using magic to deal with a commoner boy?

How unlucky must I be to be hit by this thing! ? what happened?

Damn it, if I were still that master of shadows or a god-level assassin, it would be like playing with one hand to torture eighteen generations of your ancestors...

In the novice area, once [Corrosion Tooth], if this happened to someone else, Lei Wen would laugh three times and then pat that buddy on the shoulder: Congratulations for winning the lottery, early death and early death, hurry up and buy a lottery ticket!.

It happened to me, and Raven just wanted to say I have nothing to say except foul language.

After successfully transmigrating, the body is his, and the fatal injury is naturally also his. If you want to find a way to save yourself!

When I didn't pay attention to it just now, [Self-stabilization] was carried out again, and the system showed that his blood volume was already -2/11. [Corrosion Fang] 1 point of blood will be deducted every 10 minutes, that is to say, Lei Wen will also have to perform a [Self-stabilization] test every 10 minutes. Sometimes the massive bleeding in the lungs and the corrosion damage in the stomach come together...

This should be the so-called 'death to die'.

Shaking his head to shake those ominous futures out of his mind, Raven panted heavily, dragging Karin's thin body with one hand, and wading through the sewage with difficulty.

Are we going to die? It's so disgusting to let my brother see me in embarrassment. I have sworn since I was a child that I will not let ugly things appear around my brother. Karin was a little confused.

We'll be fine. Brother, I'll take you to a place where you can be rescued.

That being said, the situation is not optimistic at all. After earnestly recalling the information about [Corrosion Fang], Lei Wen clearly knew that there are only two outcomes for novices who are hit by this thing:

One is to write a suicide note to prepare for the funeral. If you want to treat such an injury, you must at least buy the No. 7 Holy Water of Life produced by the Goddess of Life. The cheapest thing is not less than 5 gold coins, which is not good for a novice. possible tasks.

The second is to gamble your life, which is a wonderful life-saving magic weapon accidentally discovered by the players in the early stage of the game.

Saranda Olim, bishop of the Holy Coin of the Fortune Church in the City of Gold and the spokesperson of the goddess, has a series of extravagant practices under her leadership: Because the Holy Water of Life has the functions of purifying and improving cell activity, the Temple of Fortune has abused the Holy Water of Life for a long time. For example, the low-level holy water of life is used as a detergent to clean the temple, and as a laundry detergent to wash the priests' gowns.

Especially Ballasta Series, one of Orim's five shrews, in order to maintain her youth and beauty, she would apply a mask with the holy water of life at least once a night.

When the players suffer continuous damage that they cannot handle, they will run to the sewer, follow the secret escape passage that a certain player accidentally found, and get into a utility room in the courtyard outside the Church of Fortune. From time to time there will be servants placing bottles of holy water of life.

If you are lucky enough to steal a bottle or two of holy water of life, you won't have to die.

In the game World of Ultron, the severity of the death penalty has caused players to protest countless times, because once the character dies, the character disappears permanently, so the only choice is to lower the professional level by 20 and rebuild a character for reincarnation.

Now Lei Wen didn't cut off the saying of reincarnation, he died when he died, let alone dragging a loli now.

With no choice, Raven led Karin to fumble along the route in memory.

The place is found.

It was an ordinary-looking sewer wall, and there were two small holes with spider webs hanging on the wall. After Lei Wen poked it in with both hands at the same time, there was a squeak, but the wall in his sight did not change.

Brother, this...

A place where miracles may occur. Come! Raven took Karin's hand and pressed it against the wall. The wall didn't seem to exist, and the hands of the two passed through it easily.

ah!

This is the legendary Phantom Wall. Raven's smile gave Karin confidence. Karin secretly felt that Raven should know what was behind the phantom wall.

Come! Supporting Karin, Raven passed through the phantom wall, and what appeared in front of him was a wide passageway with nothing in it, leading straight to a deeper place.

After entering the channel, it was much dryer. The two helped each other to the end of the secret passage, but Lei Wen didn't dare to open the door of the secret passage again.

As soon as the door is opened, the alarm trap will be triggered, alarming the entire temple.

There was a small transom next to the door to the secret passage, just big enough for a hand to get through. Raven glanced at it, but it was still empty.

Don't make a sound, the only thing we can do is wait and pray. After Raven finished speaking lightly, he helped Karin to sit quietly at the entrance of the secret passage, waiting for the judgment of fate.

There was nothing Raven could do, not even find a clean bandage to wrap Karin in the secret passage.

Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, Karin was a little delirious, with her head tilted and her whole body leaning on Raven's shoulder.

In the silent darkness, Raven silently recalled the details about the holy water.

Because the purpose is not fixed, the holy water of life used by the servants is not fixed. Unless you are so lucky, the maid also puts the holy water of life used by Series to apply the mask here. Holy water.

Some good people have calculated that there is a 43% chance that the holy water placed here is the lowest No. 10 holy water, 29% is No. 9, 18% is No. 8, 8% is No. 7, and only 2% chance is No. 6 or above Holy water.

To get rid of Corrupted Tooth, you need at least No. 7 Holy Water of Life.

The rich experience made Raven silently lament.

He knew that this was a typical narrow escape!

This feeling of not being able to control your own destiny is the most annoying.

Waiting for one's own life to end or be reborn is undoubtedly a terrifying and lonely thing.

The pain caused by the corrosion was still tormenting Lei Wen's nerves, but Lei Wen didn't even dare to hold his wound. It was strong acid, and covering the wound would only put your own palm in it.

The pain came wave after wave, the nails had already been pinched into the palm of the hand, and the lips were bloodstained by his own teeth.

It seems that I haven't experienced it since I was chased and killed by more than a dozen god clones, right?

The body can't move around casually, strenuous exercise will intensify blood circulation, and accelerate the spread of corrosive acid in disguise.

The system beeps again:

The [Self-stabilization] test failed, and the [Injury Stabilization] test is in progress... The test failed. Your injury has begun to deteriorate. If you cannot restore your health to a positive number within ten minutes, you will be judged dead!

With the end of the notification sound, the eyes became blurred, and the surroundings were all hazy.

Lei Wen was startled suddenly, and he was going to die before things turned around within ten minutes. There is a feeling in the trance: if I die, I am afraid that Karin will not survive.

Raven fell into despair for the first time in his life, and for the first time as an atheist he prayed to Lady Luck.

Perhaps, this is the so-called hopeless prayer!
