Chapter 229 new secondary player

  Chapter 229 new secondary players

   At the end of the long corridor is the basement of Storm’s End, which is dark and moldy, with countless candles burning.

   “Ahem…”

  The stowaway X, who had been in a coma for a long time, gradually regained consciousness.

  He first felt pain all over his body, and then he felt extremely oppressed in his chest, as if he had a nightmare of drowning in the deep sea. X took a breath of air desperately, and opened his eyes suddenly.

“This is where?”

  The candlelight pierced his eyes, and X saw a candlestick as tall as the entire wall, and behind the candlestick were walls and stone pillars covered with green moss.

   “Looks like you’re awake.”

  A dry and hoarse voice that frightened X resounded.

  Although X couldn’t understand what the hoarse voice was saying, he remembered that this voice was the one he heard before he lost consciousness, and it was that terrifying skull face.

   Raising his head, sure enough, the skull face in the black robe was standing not far in front of him and staring at him.

  X wanted to escape in fear, but only then did he realize that his hands and feet had been tightly bound to the chair.

  Opening the system interface, X was annoyed to find that his energy value was only 10 points, which was not enough to use the skill “Particle Escape”.

   “Don’t waste time, let him answer the questions.”

  Suddenly, a thick and powerful voice sounded.

  X looked around in horror. In the dark basement, in addition to the skull face, there were several pale skinned men with the skull face who looked very unhealthy.

  X can’t think of anyone here who can make a thick and powerful voice.

   “Okay, Governor General.”

  On the other side, Marthas, who heard Governor Fell’s words, replied.

  There are so many things now, it is really not the time to tease the prey.

“What’s your name?”

  The whole body was skinny, like a skeleton, Marthas walked up to X, staring at X with his scarlet eyes.

   “What the **** is he talking about?”

   Seeing Marthas approaching, X felt terrified, but because he came here by smuggling, he didn’t know the common language of the endless sea, so he didn’t know what the other party was talking about.

   Unable to answer, X just remained silent and did not respond.

   Seeing X’s uncooperative attitude, Mathas twitched the corner of his mouth in a mocking manner.

   “I’ll ask again, what’s your name?”

  Mathus raised his hand forward as he spoke, and the Soul Eater’s soul-torturing spell was ready to go.

  In the dark basement, the purple magic light illuminates X’s forehead. X knows the power of this magic.

  But he couldn’t understand the other party’s language, so even if he wanted to answer, he couldn’t answer.

  However, since X can become a second-level player, it is impossible for X to have no strengths.

  At this moment, he suppressed his fear and only stared at the system panel in front of him.

  On the system panel of numerical visualization, the number behind the column of energy value is slowly increasing.

  11…12…

  X knows that as long as the energy value increases to 30, he can use the “Particle Escape” skill once.

   This is an extremely effective escape skill, it can instantly turn the body into nothingness and escape from the current dangerous situation.

  And as long as the particle is within the time limit for escaping from the buff, he can use this skill multiple times. The escaping distance will be attenuated, but it is still a good way to save life.

  X relied on this skill to survive all kinds of hardships and dangers in the past.

   It is precisely because of this skill that X dared to sneak into the fifth-level world, and took risks alone.

  Although he ended up being captured by a powerful native, X still firmly believes that as long as the system and skills are still there, he will be able to escape unscathed.

the other side.

  Mathus saw that X was still silent, thinking that the person he was catching was actually a tough one.

   Sneering disdainfully in his heart, Marthas took another step forward, and at the same time his hands grew more purple, he purely wanted to teach X a lesson.

  Mathas is now a fifth-level soul eater. He doesn’t believe that anyone can bear it. His fifth-level soul eater tortures the soul.

  The powerful and oppressive purple awns approached X, and the light illuminated his face. As the purple awns got closer…

   “Boom! Boom! Boom!”

  Bursts of indescribable palpitations came, X felt his heart was like a steam train sprinting at high speed.

   “Or don’t tell?”

  Mathus grinned playfully, he clasped his palms backwards, the purple awns flowed, and the soul-torturing magic trickled into X’s body, gnawing at his soul instantly.

“what-”

  X’s screams came instantly, and blood overflowed from his mouth and nose.

   It seemed that he didn’t want him to faint. Marthas, who had a lot of experience in torturing his prey, had just reached the limit of the opponent’s unbearable control this time.

  Feeling the confusion and pain of the soul coming out of his body, X was in a trance, he broke his defense and shouted:

   “Who are you! Where is this! Why the **** are you arresting me! I don’t understand what you are saying, do you know! Are you a fool!”

   A series of nonsense, X spoke in a frantic manner, venting all the depression in his heart these days.

   On the other side, seeing that the strong man in front of him finally spoke, but when he spoke in a language he couldn’t understand at all, Marthas and the governor were all taken aback.

  The governor and Marthas are people who have seen the world. They can recognize the language spoken by X, which is not a common language, nor is it like the dialect of any remote island.

   “Ask him if he is a player.”

  Governor Fell’s thick and powerful voice sounded, he remembered the players he had caught before, and the strange things about another world he heard from the players.

  However, the player obviously knows the lingua franca of the endless sea, so this person must be pretending.

  Because the torture was temporarily stopped, X regained a little consciousness.

  He heard a thick and powerful voice again, and immediately looked vigilantly at the source of the sound.

  Afterwards, he was shocked to discover that that thick and powerful voice was also coming from the skull-faced mouth.

   “What the hell? Two people in one body? What kind of **** world is this!”

  Because it was too unexpected, X mumbled unconsciously, completely ignoring the blood overflowing from his mouth.

   “What is he talking about again?”

  Looking at the situation in front of him, Marthas was puzzled.

  Governor Fell is the same, but he thought that it was Cocoon’s order to capture this man, and Cocoon said that after catching him, he would get his treasure and learn the secret of the Creator God.

  ‘Treasure…Secret…’

   “Continue to torture.”

  The spell that tortured the soul reappeared. This time, Marthas paid attention to his strength, allowing X to have the ability to think and answer questions. In the burning purple mans:

   “Are you a player?”

   “What the **** did you say?! Skull face!”

   “Who are you and why did you come to Storm Island?”

   “What the **** are you talking about?!”

   “Did you go to the volcano? What did you do there?”

   “I don’t understand! Do you understand?”

   “Oh, stop pretending, you don’t even know what you’re facing?”

   “Are you a fool?! Pervert!”

  In the dark and damp basement, there were screams, and the sound of chicken and duck talking.

  X endured the pain of soul torture, he cursed nonsense, but his eyes were fixed on the system panel in front of him.

  17…18…

  His energy value is slowly recovering, as long as he saves 30, he can use skill particles to escape.

  Mathus’s Soul Torment was strong again and again, but X could clearly see that the purple awn spell, which made him extremely painful, did not affect his energy recovery at all, let alone the system panel.

  ‘I am a player, I have a system, and I have the support of a force stronger than them.

  This native has no godhead, he does not have the power to transcend the concrete world.

  He can kill me directly, but as long as the system and skills are still there, I will be able to escape quickly. ‘

  Looking at the system panel in front of him, although the purple awn of the soul torture spell can illuminate it and pass through it, the system panel is still stable and clear, and it operates normally.

   Now, this system is the last pillar supporting X.

  As long as the system and skills are still there, he still has a chance to escape.

   And the other side.

  After extorting a confession through torture, and seeing the strong man bleeding from his orifices but still speaking an unknown language, Massas and the governor had to admit that they did not understand the language, and further interrogation would be a waste of time.

   “We still have to let Cocoon show up.”

  Governor Fell finally concluded.

  Since it was the lava lord Cocoon who caught this person, he must have a way to ask what he wanted from this person.

“But…”

  Mathus was very hesitant when he heard the words, and he took out a black, dull crystal while talking.

   This is the cocoon that has not yet fully awakened, the medium to communicate with the governor and Marthas.

  Cocoon passed through this black crystal and passed the order to Governor Marthas on how to help them wake up. In order to facilitate their execution of the order, he also taught them terrible spells.

  This is also the reason why Marthas’s apprentice drove the filth monster.

  The last order Cocoon communicated through the black crystal was to order them to arrest X.

   “The lord’s awakening has reached a critical moment, so we might not bother you.”

  When it comes to the mysterious and absolutely powerful lava lord Cocoon, Marthas, who has always respected power all his life, is very cautious and afraid.

  He thought for a while and added:

   “Besides, it has always been the lord who gave us enlightenment, and we have never asked the lord for instructions.”

   Seeing Marthas’s humbleness and prudence, Governor Fell felt contemptuous and disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

  If it wasn’t for obtaining the godhead under Storm Island, or because Cocoon had the ability to break the restriction on extracting the godhead, or for overthrowing the King of the Sea Throne and clearing the family’s shame…

  He will not cooperate with the filthy lava lord, let alone merge with the soul of Marthas.

   “It was Yu who asked us to catch this person. If the interrogation was delayed and things were missed, aren’t you afraid that Yu will blame him?”

  Penrose Fell took over the control of his tongue and asked rhetorically.

   “Ah yes! Makes sense! Makes sense!”

  Hearing the mistake and blaming him, Mathas nodded and said yes as if he just woke up from a dream.

  He held up the black crystal with his dry hands cautiously and respectfully, and when he was thinking about how to speak, the black crystal he held in both hands suddenly shone slightly like a flame.

  The next second, without waiting for Marthas to react, the black crystal burned hotly.

   Followed by Sisi’s incomprehensible low whispers, Cocoon responded to them.

   But as if he was forcing his energy out and was in a hurry, Cocoon ignored Marthas and the governor.

  The flame burning from the black crystal directly rolled into a slender fire snake, biting towards the stowaway X who was tied to the chair.

  In an instant, flames wrapped around X’s whole body.

   Irresistible pain and chaos gnawed at every inch of flesh and blood, and X was enveloped by the huge pain that protruded.

  Just now, he saw the two people in that body talking, as if they were discussing something.

  X knew they must be discussing how to deal with him, but it didn’t matter, his energy was still recovering.

  26…27…

  He will be successful soon!

  But, inexplicably, the black coal ball held in the skull face’s hand suddenly caught fire.

   Moreover, without seeing any movement of the skull face, the flame suddenly burned on himself.

  Dirty, filthy, chaotic, all kinds of indescribable and indescribable feelings came.

  Happiness plus pain, depression plus excitement…

  X found that all his emotions and perceptions were being combined into thousands of weird things at once, and then all of them were stuffed into his brain at the same time.

  In addition to this, what was stuffed into his brain were all kinds of thoughts and pictures he had experienced.

  Different from Marthas’s soul torture, soul torture hurts him from the outside, but now this thing is destroying him from the inside.

  Among the chaotic thoughts and pictures, X suddenly felt a sense of familiarity subconsciously, very similar to his feeling on the volcano.

  ‘Is it the cocoon that is waking up? ‘

  Struggling to hold on to the last sliver of reason, X remembered what happened before.

  ‘But… but what does cocoon matter? I have a system, I have skills…’

   Thinking of the last pillar to support himself, X looked at the system panel.

  But in the chaotic Qingming, he discovered with horror that the system panel, which was originally clear and unaffected, turned out to be like a TV with signal interference, with distorted and blotchy pictures.

‘don’t want! how come! how come! ‘

  Extremely shocked and terrified, like a drowning person desperately throwing himself into the water, X struggled to look at the energy bar.

  Crash to the apex happened, his energy value was no longer recovering, as if broken, still stuck at 27.

‘don’t want! don’t want! ‘

  In the near-death torture, perhaps the brain was stuffed into the pictures he had experienced, X suddenly remembered that he had seen a duel scene between two third-level players with godheads in another world.

   It is said that in that duel, a third-level player almost broke the system of another third-level player.

  Because it is the God of Creation who gives the player the system, and it is also the God of Creation who gives the player the Godhead.

  The player system and godhead have the same power source, which is the power beyond the concrete world, and they are also the highest level of power.

  Therefore, no matter what means he uses, Marthas, who has no godhead, cannot affect X’s system.

   But now, looking at the dotted system panel, X feels desperate.

  ‘Cocoon has a godhead? Cocoon is a level 3 player? ‘

  X was frightened and confused. He couldn’t figure out what was going on, and he couldn’t figure out why Cocoon was bothering him.

  However, as if responding to him, wrapping him in flames, forcing a thought into his mind—

   Surrender and relinquish your Earthcore.

   “What! No! No!”

  As soon as this idea appeared, X began to uncontrollably, and took out the core of the earth in the system backpack that seemed to be broken.

   “Ding Dong!”

  The next second, a white, human-sized fusiform object fell to the ground.

  Seeing this, X collapsed and shouted. This is a tool for second-level players to collect holy objects and fragments. Without it, it is equivalent to being unable to complete the task.

  Being unable to complete tasks means having no contribution points, and without contribution points, one cannot exchange for a godhead, nor can one upgrade.

  The core of the earth is the foundation of the second-level players, you can’t live without it!

   But now, X, who was physically and mentally tortured, twisted wildly, trying to pick up the core of the earth that fell on the ground, but he was already powerless.

   And the other side.

  Mathus saw a strange white thing falling to the ground out of thin air, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing what the cocoon meant, and whether he wanted to pick it up.

  But the governor, who has always been concerned about treasures and secrets, only hesitated for a moment, then seized control of his body, and used Marthas’ body to pick up the core of the earth belonging to X that fell to the ground.

   A smooth and round touch came, but as the core of the earth was picked up, the governor and Marthas, the two souls in this body, had a line of text appearing in front of their eyes at the same time:

  【You have obtained the core of the earth that other players gave up. Do you want to bind it to you? 】

  【Binding Reward: Become a second-level player and get a copy of the truth of the world. 】

   Thank you for the 1500 point reward from Destiny Wushuang~

   Thank you to everyone who is still watching~~~
