Chapter 302: Poison Heart

When they set off, the sun was shining and the sky was clear.

But in less than half an hour, dark clouds covered the firmament, and then, amidst the stirring of thick and heavy cold wind, earth-shattering thunder erupted, echoing between the mountains.

I don't know how many stones rolled down from under the mountain, cutting off the road.

But even the road was just a narrow area left over or a trace formed naturally; on this plateau where the mountains intersect like blades, even the so-called "road" was just a place where wheels could barely drive over.

Then, when raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky with bone-chilling cold, all roads and mountains quickly became muddy, and the loud noise of landslides and thunder intersected, endless.

In the morning, after leaving the periphery of the plateau and going deep into Kunwu, with the Little Bull Horse's mobility, they only advanced more than 300 kilometers... You know, as long as there is a slope, as long as it is not ninety degrees, with the Little Bull Horse's torque, they can go unimpeded; the danger of the terrain is evident.

What's even more deadly is the changing terrain and raging flash floods in the heavy rain.

Many original roads were born in the corners and gaps between several mountains, and now they have all turned into riverbeds with muddy currents. And above the sky covered by dark clouds, except for the strange light passing through the electric light, no sunlight could be seen.

In the pitch black, the whole world was shrouded in the thick rain curtain.

Before the signal was completely lost, the radio only had time to convey the last disaster report—due to ocean current changes and sea storms, the chain reaction brought by a large amount of cold air moving north, most of the Federation welcomed rain that hadn't been seen in decades, Haizhou had issued a heavy rain disaster warning, the city hall was paralyzed, and the vast majority of production had completely stopped...

The heavy rain poured down, endless, and after pausing for a few minutes occasionally, it would brew a more violent storm.

On the mountainside, near a stable rock layer, Ji Jue pushed open the door of the rear carriage, released the third drone in the surging wind and rain.

But after going out, in a few minutes, the signal was quickly lost.

It fell in the distance.

Boom!!.

Amidst the loud noise of large rocks sliding, electric light passed through, illuminating the strange figure between the mountains, a behemoth that was several kilometers long snaked by silently.

Sections of pale and strange bone-like bodies squirmed, neither head nor tail could be seen, nor could any limbs be found, floating in the air like ghosts, walking lightly in the storm, going away.

Sometimes it drilled into the clouds to prey on huge prey, sometimes it sneaked into rifts and mountain streams along the gale.

Quickly, it disappeared.

Leaving only Ji Jue sweating profusely.

【Disaster】, 【Harm】, 【Desperate】, 【Extinction】, 【End】... the five-level evaluation of disaster beasts, the gap between each evaluation is a terrifying gap like a heavenly abyss.

Just the one that just passed, at least Harm level, maybe even Desperate level.

Just this, it was already the second one they saw today...

Although Ji Jue prides himself on having seen the world, didn't he kill things like the Nether Sea worm, but he didn't inflate to the point of not distinguishing between virtual and reality.

A teacher with a big nose once said that no matter how strong you are in the game, it's fake... If Ji Jue were really put in front of the worm, he definitely wouldn't fart and would roll as far as he could.

Just at his current level, Disaster level and Harm level can still be fought, but if he really encounters Desperate level, he will be in trouble if he doesn't take out his bottom-of-the-box things. And even if he takes them out, if he is caught by an opponent peeping from the side, he might be taken away in one wave.

I can only say... fortunately, before leaving the snowy plains, he finished off the Tiancheng contestants first.

Otherwise, with the ability of that woman Maya, coming to this mountain range, I don't know how many disaster beasts she could incite to drown Ji Jue.

"Speaking of which, there is a question I have never quite understood."

In the rear carriage, An Ning squatted on the ground, clearly welcoming the storm together, but Ji Jue was soaked, but she was not wet at all; at this moment, looking at Ji Jue's embarrassed appearance of wiping water, her gaze fell on his hand.

That extra ring.

"What's wrong?" Ji Jue was puzzled; it couldn't be that his operation was too weird, directly grabbing the opponent and turning them into equipment, and being scared, right?

"Clearly Brother Ji Jue, you are a craftsman, right?"

An Ning asked curiously: "But the equipment is unexpectedly small."

Except for the dual-blessing fluid mercury, Ji Jue's equipment is just a ring of transcendent vision, a necklace of the ancient mouth, a bone knife, a bell, a piece of bottom-of-the-box containing elephant mirror... the blessing enhancement on Little Niu Ma and Panying can't even be considered his own equipment, not to mention consumables like bullets.

Although the quality is not low, and these few pieces are already considered rich among ordinary Chosen Ones, they don't match his identity as a craftsman, not to mention Ji Jue is also a master, and his craftsmanship is extraordinary. "I also want to wear gold and silver all over, but I don't have the conditions; the economic situation is only wide for these one or two months." Ji Jue smiled self-deprecatingly and shrugged, "Besides, how long have I been learning alchemy?"

If you really want to carefully make a work, the time consumed by craftsmen is often calculated in years—selection, ratio, design, the state of blessing, the correction and guidance of the spiritual quality structure, and the control of the final effect. And the details involved in the four departments of rising, purification, extraction, and integration in the creation process are countless.

Even often in the end, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect, and after destruction and decomposition, start all over again.

After becoming a craftsman, Ji Jue's only formal work is that Panying. It's just a semi-finished product, and this is the foundation completed after investing many precious materials and spending a considerable amount of time.

Even if Ji Jue doesn't have the perfectionism of his teacher Ye Xian, holding the idea that it doesn't matter if it's enough, it's enough, but at least it must be able to be taken out and not laughed at by peers.

The convenience of Mechanical Deification goes without saying; relying on it, it has already solved more than 90% of Ji Jue's problems, and the remaining part needs targeted reinforcement.

Naturally, quality is better than quantity.

Tools are the help of craftsmen, not a burden; even Ye Xian, except for the ghost work and nightmare sequence he carries with him, the blessing creations he will wear are only two or three pieces.

You know, blessing creations are easy to use, but not without cost.

Its essence is to carry blessings through materials, and combine them through the structure of spiritual quality circuits—just like some kind of external universal matrix plug-in, connecting with the Chosen One's matrix, thereby obtaining effects and functions that their own matrix and blessings originally did not have.

Www??????? co

This means that no matter how good the external graphics card and equipment are, they also eat cpu and motherboard, and they also consume electricity, and they will be even more exaggerated.

Similarly, the Chosen One must also bear the burden brought by the extra blessing.

As for some equipment that does not need the user's infusion and control, can recover spiritual quality on its own, operate itself, and have spiritual intelligence that can think flexibly, know how to adapt and cooperate... Hehe, such equipment, even in some large workshops, there are only one or two pieces, not even enough for their own use, where would they be sold?

If it weren't for the fact that the cheap master uncle happened to lift Ji Jue, Ji Jue would have gone bankrupt in reality and wouldn't have been able to build a work like Isis.

"Even if there is non-attack, you can perform alchemy anytime, anywhere, but the production of blessing creations is not a simple thing." Ji Jue said slowly back in the driver's seat: "Sometimes one cent may not have one cent of goods, but if you don't put in any effort and energy, you can't talk about any good work."

"Hmm?"

An Ning noticed Ji Jue's implication, and her gaze fell on the ring on his right hand: "You mean, this one doesn't count either? Clearly it's already very exquisite, right?"

"..."

Ji Jue's expression suddenly became complicated: "At most, it's just a semi-finished product."

Even in An Ning's view, it was already perfect, but if compared to Ji Jue's initial goal, it can only be said that it is small and cute.

【Poison Heart】, this is the name Ji Jue gave.

Three blessings constitute, a defensive equipment specifically for Metamorphosis and Heart Pivot types; in terms of purpose, it can be said that it has already been achieved, and even far exceeded.

To give an example, it's like the substitute doll that Maya used before—Ji Jue created a spiritual quality container inside through spiritual quality alchemy and creation and part of the experience of Isis, and through the gradual stimulation of Mechanical Deification, created a blank virtual spiritual intelligence; the two combined, just like a remnant soul fragment.

When encountering the mind-reading and consciousness connection of Heart Pivot, and the spiritual quality impact and soul shock of Metamorphosis, it can replace Ji Jue to bear the attack and erosion, ensuring Ji Jue's safety.

Not only that, the 【Eternal Arrow Never Forgets】 blessing stabilized the soul structure inside, making it not collapse on its own, and 【Hidden Anger and Resentment】 made it a container for a large amount of negative emotions and sin-tainted pollution; the operation of sin-tainted alchemy combined with the purification of fluid alchemy almost created an artificial fierce ghost, and it is the kind that gets fiercer and fiercer day by day with the infusion of spiritual quality; as for 【Desire Fire Burning Body】, it is an excellent exit to catalyze and release the sin-tainted pollution and negative emotions inside.

It's like a moat Ji Jue equipped for his soul, and filled the river with piranhas, strong acid, and all kinds of nameless ghosts; if anyone doesn't know the height of the sky and wants to lean over, the moment their consciousness probes into it, they will definitely feel unprecedented sourness.

At the same time, when necessary, Ji Jue can also actively break the dam, release the pollution inside indiscriminately, and let everyone feel the wonderful ranking experience of butterfly swimming in the cesspool!

From the effect, it not only provides spiritual defense for Ji Jue, but also very effectively fills the defect that Ji Jue, as a double agent of the Nether, cannot spread sin-tainted pollution on a large scale.

Jian Yuan would probably say it's good.

But it's a pity that it still doesn't change its embarrassing status as a semi-finished product, or rather...

Failure.
