Chapter 68: Constructing the Hero Altar and Consuming the Rewards
Shen Xing snapped out of his thoughts and exclaimed, "I didn't expect to learn so much useful knowledge so quickly. Joining this group was definitely the right decision."
77
In addition, he found a lot of good stuff in the group files.
Someone uploaded a tutorial on fusing gunpowder and hellfire sulfur, as well as a tutorial on making the Wind Demon Core Individual Propulsion Device.
Even outrageous things like "Analysis Report on Hand-Crafted Nuclear Bombs in the Land of Mist" have been written in tens of thousands of words.
Shen Xing's eyes gradually lit up, as if he had discovered some treasure.
He benefited greatly from a casual chat with several "emperors of Jiangcheng".
Perhaps there are even more experts in this group.
Full of anticipation, he scrolled through the group chat history.
"Hey guys, hasn't the weather in Jiangcheng been weird lately? It's been so foggy and gloomy, like something really bad is going to happen."
Xuecai is my wife: "I think you've been masturbating too much. Jiangcheng is usually rainy, it's normal for it to be cloudy for a few days."
Sky Shooter: "Indeed, it's also possible that I've fired a few shots into the sky these past few days."
Lin Dong: "Have you heard? Today, several powerful individuals emerged from the Misty Void Realm. They swept through the eleventh wave of Endless Mode in one go, even crushing Yu Feifei under their feet."
I must survive: "Step on Yu Feifei? Do you have the torrent file? No, do you have the video?"
Chen Guanxi: "Two close-up photos of Yu Feifei's legs. I risked my life to take these photos today. Each photo costs 500 contribution points. Hurry up if you want to see them."
Feifei's jade-like feet: "I really want Yu Feifei to step on me, I really want to lick them—"
After reading through these chat logs, Shen Xing was speechless.
What kind of group is this?!
What the hell are they talking about?
He originally thought that this group was a gathering of genius lords from Jiangcheng, and that everyone, like the others above, would be talking about practical game tips or high-end content.
The result was no different from some gaming chat groups.
But speaking of which, does this player actually have photos of Yu Feifei's legs?
Don't get me wrong, he just wanted to see how good the other person's photography skills were so he could give them a good critique.
-
At this moment, Shen Xing saw a red dot on the contact person's profile.
Upon opening it, I saw a friend request had been sent.
"She and her cat have requested to add you as a friend through a group chat."
Huh? Who's this?
Shen Xing clicked on the other person's profile and glanced at it. Their Moments were closed, and the profile picture was a calico cat. There was no other information.
"Could it be Sister Tea who infiltrated the group chat?"
Shen Xing muttered something, ignoring the friend request, and turned her attention to the large black bag in her hand.
"Next, we need to fully utilize all the resources we've acquired and give ourselves a major boost!"
He couldn't wait to take out the grayish-white metal sphere and dump the other spoils on the ground.
Next, Shen Xing's consciousness connected with the metal sphere.
"Buzz—"
After a slight tremor, grayish-white mist emanated from it.
The fog spread, gradually covering all the soul stones, large soul stones, soul fragments, mithril, and other materials on the ground.
When the fog dissipates, all these resources disappear.
"According to Zhou Zheng, all these materials have been stored in the transmitter."
"Next, simply send this small ball into the game, and it will automatically appear in your inventory."
Shen Xing stretched out his arm and connected his consciousness with the Flower of Mist.
The transmission went smoothly, and as the mist gushed out, the small sphere disappeared from its original spot.
He then pushed his wheelchair into the bedroom and put on his black glasses.
"Buzz—"
As my gaze shifted, a wave of warmth washed over me, and I heard the crackling sound of burning firewood.
Looking around, the surroundings were familiar.
In the center of the territory, a level 5 campfire blazed brightly, illuminating an area of 200 meters in radius.
Eight arrow towers stand in pairs, guarding the four corners of the territory like gatekeepers.
Four lighthouses emitted dazzling beams of light, sweeping back and forth through the fog.
Orcs and skeleton archers sat around the campfire, silently recovering from their injuries.
In the previous Mist-Swept Realm, these troops suffered heavy losses and numerous casualties.
In particular, Bloodhowl and his dire wolf were stabbed more than a dozen times by the Black Moon Knights, and their bodies are still covered in bloody holes.
Shen Xing didn't disturb them and silently looked at her backpack.
Sure enough, there was a grayish-white metal sphere inside.
When he took it out, the entire sphere began to vibrate violently.
The next second, it exploded with a "bang," scattering a huge amount of materials all over the ground.
"As expected, this transmitter is very unstable and can only be used once."
Shen Xing waved his hand and put everything on the ground back into his backpack.
Then, the nine large soul stones were taken out and broken down.
As the light flashed, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the gray stone, which was about the size of an adult's fist.
With a crisp "crack", it shattered into 500 ordinary soul stones, each only the size of a fingernail.
After all the decompositions were completed, Shen Xing tallied up his basic resources.
Soul Stones *5362
[Vinnar Silver Coin] *4472
Black Crystal *1251
Mithril*100
"More than five thousand soul stones and more than four thousand silver coins. I have never been so rich."
"Now we have more than enough space to build the Hero Altar."
Shen Xing eagerly pushed his wheelchair to the central area of the territory.
After searching for a while, I found a prime location next to the Moon Well and then clicked to build.
[Consume materials to build the Hero Altar (Gold)?]
Estimated construction time: 59 hours and 48 minutes —
"It took two and a half days to build; it truly deserves its golden name."
"But it's still acceptable."
:
Shen Xing clicked "OK," and a large amount of materials automatically flew out of his backpack and gathered together.
On the ground before them, the base of a statue appeared, its entire body enveloped in blue light.
Looking at his assets that had shrunk dramatically in an instant, Shen Xing took a deep breath, suppressed his heartache, and continued to examine the next treasure.
A flash of light appeared in my hand, and an ancient parchment appeared, with the outline of a blue arrow tower drawn on it in colored paint.
Ice Arrow Tower
[Level: 2]
[Effect: Upgrades level 1 arrow towers in the territory to level 2 ice arrow towers, dealing significant damage to level 1 monsters and inflicting a 25%~35% slow effect.]
Rate of fire: 1 shot every 1.5 seconds
[Area: 28 square meters]
Height: 16 meters
Upgrade materials required: 200 wood, 200 stone, 20 soul stones, 5 ice crystals
"Great stuff! Not only does it deal more damage than a level 1 arrow tower, but it also has a slowing effect."
After upgrading the Fireball to level 2, Shen Xing unlocked the basic building [Arrow Tower].
According to forum records, upgrading the campfire to a large campfire will unlock a level 3 arrow tower, which greatly increases its power and firing rate.
It can be upgraded to level 4 and level 5 to continuously increase its power.
Of course, the function of such a regular arrow tower is too limited.
Players can unlock other upgrade paths by learning certain special blueprints.
For example, there is the [Poison Arrow Tower] which can shoot poison arrows, the [Magnetic Ring Tower] which can release electromagnetic coils, and the [Dragon Breath Tower] which can release fire breath, etc.
The Ice Arrow Tower is one of them.
"I remember there are two [Frost Crystal Towers] near Xia Wanyin's territory that can continuously produce Frost Crystals."
"I'll ask her to exchange some points with me later, so we can build a few ice arrow towers."
With that in mind, Shen Xing studied the drawing and then moved on to the next one.
[Tripping Horse Trap Blueprint]
[Quality: Green (Excellent)]
[Effect: Creates a hidden tripwire that instantly triggers when an enemy passes by, tripping them and crippling them.]
[Crafting Requirements: 1 meter = 2 Black Iron + 1 Soul Stone]
(Note: Listen, buddy, I'm going to give you a good tumble and make your mouth kiss the ground.)
"A very good trap blueprint, but it requires a lot of materials."
"However, with my current assets, I could still make a few hundred meters."
Shen Xing also studied the blueprint, and then checked the other spoils of war.
This time, it was that greatsword with a wide hilt and broad blade, radiating black energy.
【Shadow Sword】
[Quality: Purple (Rare)]
[Equipment Level: 9]
[Equipment Attributes: Agility +15, Attack Speed +30%]
【Equipment Effect: Shadowy Aura (When launching a normal attack, there is a 35% chance to trigger "Shadowy Sword Aura", dealing full damage to enemies in the path in front)】
(Note: If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll leap forward with sword energy.)
..
"A normal attack can unleash sword energy? That sounds pretty cool."
"Unfortunately, my territory currently does not have any troops that use swords."
Shen Xing pondered for a moment, then seemed to remember something: "But, perhaps someone could use those Black Moon Knights?"
After all, this weapon was dropped by the Black Moon Knight captain, and he happened to have 16 Black Moon Knight recruitment scrolls in his backpack.
After taking out the scrolls and glancing at their properties, Shen Xing's eyes lit up slightly.
"Huh? These knights are all elite★ units, and their initial level has reached level 5."
"That's good. We don't need to let them slowly absorb soul stones to level up anymore."
"In that case, summon them all."
With a wave of his hand, 16 scrolls flew up automatically, turning into specks of light and disappearing in the air.
"Buzz—"
Six-pointed star arrays appeared in the air, spewing out thick black mist that fell to the ground.
Through the black mist, one could vaguely see tall figures.
"Hissing sound—!"
'
As the black mist dissipated, 16 figures clad in black armor, carrying long black spears and swords, and riding black warhorses slowly emerged.
They turned their heads at the same time, and pairs of eerie green eyes beneath their masks stared at the figure sitting in a wheelchair below.
Shen Xing could feel the aura emanating from these Black Moon Knights, as well as the tangible sense of oppression they exuded.
But he remained fearless, calmly meeting the gazes of the knights.
The scene was rather peculiar: a young man in a wheelchair was confronting sixteen fully armed black knights.
Surprisingly, this young man, who looked frail and weak, had a confident smile on his face.
On the other side, Hellroar and Gorehowl had already gripped their battle axes tightly, their two pairs of yellow beast eyes locking onto the group of knights.
The two orcs would not hesitate to attack if they made any unusual moves.
After a brief standoff, the Black Moon Knights all dismounted.
They stood in neat rows and gave the young man in the wheelchair a standard knightly salute.
This also signifies the Knights' declaration of submission.
In fact, there was nothing they could do if they didn't submit.
Because in the Misty Lands, these troops recruited through recruitment scrolls are unable to rebel against the lord.
Recruiting creatures that attempt to attack the lord will be punished by some mysterious force.
At the same time, if a lord is dissatisfied with the recruited troops, although he cannot kill them on a whim, he can expel them from his territory.
The expelled troops, deprived of the protection of the campfire, will soon be completely swallowed by the fog.
The dire wolf that roared was not very intelligent as a wild animal; it initially bared its teeth at Shen Xing in a stupid way.
But these Black Moon Knights aren't stupid; they wouldn't do something so foolish.
Of course, for them to completely submit, the lord will need to demonstrate sufficient strength.
Shen Xing didn't speak, but instead glanced at the specific attributes of the group of knights.
Black Moon Knight
[Level: 5]
[Potential: Elite ★]
[Attributes: Strength 38, Spirit 26, Agility 34, Constitution 31]
【Skill: Black Moon Breathing Technique (The Black Moon Knights' standard breathing technique, which can mobilize the power of the Black Moon to enhance combat power.)
It also increases its own stamina recovery speed and abnormal resistance by 25%.
Furthermore, for each Black Moon Knight simultaneously casting this breathing technique, it grants an additional 1% increase to recovery speed and abnormal status resistance, stacking up to a maximum of 100%.
Riding Mastery (While mounted, movement speed is increased by 30%, and charge damage is increased by an additional 20%)
Tidal Charge (When the charge is initiated, the black moon begins to rotate, forming a lunar tide that pulls nearby enemies to the front of the battle.)
[Talent: None]
[Bond - Black Moon Knights (Activated): When there are more than 10 Black Moon Knights present, Stun resistance +30 (the higher the stun resistance, the lower the chance of being knocked down)]
(Note: Though the glory of the past has faded, the Black Moon remains my faith!)
..
"This attribute is a bit exaggerated."
Shen Xing's eyes flashed with amazement. This was the first time he had ever seen an elite one-star unit with such a strong template.
All three skills and one synergy ability can greatly enhance the team's combat capabilities.
Especially the most unique [Black Moon Breathing Technique], which can even increase recovery speed and abnormal resistance through the cooperation of other Black Moon Knights!
In other words, the more Black Moon Knights present, the stronger the team.
and.
Shen Xing had also seen on the forum that the most powerful aspect of the breathing technique was not the attribute bonuses that followed.
It lies not in the use of energy, but in the application of energy.
After mastering the breathing technique, one can mobilize various energies in the world, greatly enhancing the power and range of skills.
"Excellent, such a powerful unit, we definitely made the right choice."
"In that case, let's find another knight to be the squad leader."
Shen Xing glanced around and pointed to the shortest knight at the back of the line, who was holding a longsword, and said, "You're the one. Step forward."
The Black Moon Knight paused for a moment, then walked out of the group in a daze.
Without wasting any words, Shen Xing took out two elite soul fragments from his backpack and threw them over.
The Black Moon Knight caught the soul and seemed to sense the power contained within it.
This is something that can make them even stronger!
The mouth beneath the visor opened and closed repeatedly, then a hoarse voice finally escaped: "Th-thank you—"
Shen Xing chuckled upon hearing this, leaning back in his wheelchair and looking him over: "So you guys can talk."
The Black Moon Knight opened his mouth as if to say something, but only a hoarse wheezing sound came out of his throat.
It seems that his "thank you" just now was all the words he knew.
"Alright, absorb it." Shen Xing didn't make things difficult for these black cans.
The swordsman nodded solemnly, then patted the two souls into his chest one by one.
"Buzz—"
A powerful black aura surged from the knight's body, and a phantom of a black moon slowly emerged behind him, his aura beginning to rise steadily.
Amidst the envious gazes of the other knights, he successfully advanced to the second-star potential level, his attributes improving once again.
However, just as he was fusing with his second soul and preparing to break through to the Elite Three-Star level in one go, the rising aura suddenly stopped, and even the black moon behind him instantly dissipated.
This also means that the second attempt to advance has failed.
The Black Moon Knight lowered his head dejectedly, a look of frustration in his eyes.
Shen Xing didn't say anything more, but instead took out another elite soul.
This time in the Misty Void Realm, they obtained a large number of soul fragments.
When divided equally, each person received more than thirty elite soul fragments, which could be combined to form three elite souls.
Shen Xing also used it all to enhance his strength.
The Black Moon Knight's eerie green pupils trembled as he gazed at the orb of light the lord offered again.
Then he quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee three meters away from Shen Xing, clenched his right fist, and solemnly bowed.
Shen Xing's lips curled up slightly. He knew that this meant the knight had completely submitted to him.
"Keep going, let me see your limits."
The Black Moon Knight nodded solemnly, then slapped the soul into his body.
"Buzz—"
This breakthrough is somewhat different from the previous ones.
Accompanied by a blinding black light, the knight's body began to grow rapidly, and his armor underwent a complete transformation.
