Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

We continued along the cave passage for some distance.

Suddenly there was more fluorescent green in front.

This shimmer comes from the moss there.

Different from the moist black moss in the first half of the journey, the moss there is drier, with a fern-like base at the bottom and small, downy, diamond-shaped leaves.

There is a small spherical capsule without teeth on the top.

The fluorescence is emitted from the spores, which are not much bigger than sesame seeds.

These fluorescent lights make the passage ahead look green, all the color of forgiveness.

In the green light and shadow, the road ahead looks even more strange and changeable.

Zong Shen stepped forward and observed the fluorescent moss.

It was found that they were also ordinary plants without demons.

He simply took off his black gloves.

Immediately, with a thought, he took out a staff that looked like a miniature red dragon that was constricting its body.

The feet and neck of this staff can be used for grasping.

At the top is the roaring red dragon head.

Every detail is extremely clear and intuitive.

The dragon scales are also extremely delicate.

And when he held this strange staff.

The eyes on the top dragon head moved slightly.

Even though the environment here is special, it has the effect of naturally repelling magic.

But when holding this staff, you can still feel the surrounding free fire elements jumping and reveling.

Yes, this is the evil staff that Zong Shen obtained in the giant city of Lentax that can easily arouse the hatred of five-color dragons - [Red Dragon Roaring Staff (Glory Level VII)].

He tightened the staff in his hand and input magic value into it without hesitation.

I chose to activate the [Breath Jet] skill attached to the equipment.

This skill consumes 55 magic points per second and can emit a breath of flames 100 meters ahead.

The scorching breath can cause 800 points of burning damage per second, and the duration depends on the magic value input, but the time between two breath blasts should not be less than 3 minutes.

It is equivalent to an enhanced version of [Monotov Flamethrower].

Zong Shen had already tested it in the giant city of Lentax under the ice.

The effect is very good, and it is an essential skill for clearing roads and troubleshooting.

After he inputs his magic power.

I saw the ferocious dragon head at the top suddenly opening its big mouth full of fangs.

The mini dragon body that serves as the body of the staff also delivers scalding heat.

Fortunately, this heat does not burn the holder, it just makes Zong Shen feel enough heat.

Then, the dragon's skull was filled with orange-red fire, and there were endless magma and sparks.

Zong Shen turned his staff and aimed it at the passage ahead.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon head suddenly sprayed out a raging cluster of flames.

The flames first became thinner and then thicker, extending to a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

Cluster Flame is made up of several layers.

The outermost is a corona-like flame, the middle is an orange-red flame layer, and the core is a crimson flame core.

It's like a brush that runs through the entire passage.

The farther out it is, the more likely it is to spread.

The extremely high temperatures set the fluorescent moss on fire.

There seemed to be a flaming red lotus blooming wildly in the passage.

The collision between the rolled up flames and the rock wall is particularly eye-catching.

The green fluorescence quickly faded in the passage, replaced by orange firelight.

And as the jet breath continues, the area covered by the fire is rapidly expanding, until it extends to more than a hundred meters ahead.

Zong Shen squinted his eyes and moved forward holding the staff that was spraying high-temperature breath.

This move is naturally not to vent anger.

Instead, he discovered something strange in the passage ahead.

Previously, through the dim light emitted by the fluorescent moss, Zong Shen could vaguely see figures as big as wolf dogs lying on the ground and on the rock wall.

This kind of body shape and posture are definitely not good things.

Burn it first and then talk!

Moreover, fluorescent green can actually easily cause visual deviation.

It is not a qualified light source.

It just so happened that he had a path-opening artifact like the [Red Dragon's Roaring Staff] in his hand.

Just right for the occasion.

Considering Zong Shen’s current [Wisdom] attribute and [Magic Value] reserves.

It's enough to make the staff in your hand breathe continuously for several minutes.

As long as he doesn't stop, the skill won't go into cooldown.

And because he directly inputs the magic value, he can ignore the elemental magic repulsion property of [God Shell Rock].

As he continued on foot.

The hot flames continued to push deeper into the passage.

Under such circumstances, the location of those strange figures was quickly burned.

Hiss, hiss...

A small grinding sound appeared, and it turned out to be huge grasshoppers.

Not only does it have sharp jaws, but it also has two thick hind limbs.

They were burned and stirred by the flames, and they all made strange chirping sounds.

The hind limbs bounced up and rushed towards Zong Shen facing the flames.

There are many, almost countless.

The most important thing is that these giant grasshoppers are completely fearless of death.

Compared with the little black grasshoppers in front, the two have completely different painting styles.

The shells of these large grasshoppers are also black, and the details on their limbs are almost exactly the same as those of the small black grasshoppers.

Zong Shen frowned slightly, but the flame breath in his hand did not stop.

Those big grasshoppers looked a little crazy, they were swarming around with their chirping noises.

He looked unafraid, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being reduced to ashes in the flames.

[Kill the giant grasshopper LV1 (green) and gain 120 experience points]

…

The kill prompt that appeared in front of him caught Zong Shen's attention.

Especially the word [giant state].

This seems to represent the origin of its morphological changes.

The road ahead is indeed not easy.

Zong Shen continued to move forward with the staff, and the jet of flames advanced accordingly.

The [Giant Grasshopper] that goes on and on also has its limits.

After hundreds of them were burned to death, there were finally no more grasshoppers coming out from the front.

They all flapped their membrane wings and started bouncing.

A buzzing sound echoed throughout the passage.

It makes one's scalp numb involuntarily.

Now it suddenly became quiet.

Zong Shen continued to move forward at a steady pace.

[Red Dragon Roaring Staff (Glory Level VII)] also stopped spraying flames.

Its staff, which was like a miniature red dragon, continued to emit orange-red light.

This allows Zong Shen to see clearly the situation in the passage ahead without using a white crystal lamp.

The flames that burned fiercely for several minutes turned the moss into ashes.

Also perishing were hundreds of giant grasshoppers.

At this time, the floor of the passage was covered with messy black ashes.

Since the flame spray had just ended, there was a steaming feeling everywhere.

Fortunately, Zong Shen's physical defense ability can easily resist it.

The moisture is gone and it's become extremely dry.

Zong Shen held his breath and adjusted to the state of internal breathing.

He continued to move forward at a steady pace.

After not walking far, the passage gradually formed a downward slope.

Fluorescent moss appears again.

But there seemed to be no monsters like giant grasshoppers ahead.

Even though the grasshoppers were about the same size as a wolf dog and were numerous in number, they looked a bit scary when they swarmed in. In fact, those grasshoppers were all scum of war, and they were immediately reduced to ashes when burned by the clustered flames.

After advancing for a few minutes again, the front was bright and clear, and a medium-sized stone hall appeared.

This stone hall looks simple and clear.

Except for a passage that continues downward, there is a bottomless green pool.

The fluorescence emitted by that square deep pool was too eye-catching.

Far brighter than the light emitted by those fluorescent moss.

Just one look at it gave Zong Shen goosebumps.

Because the green water in the deep pool reminded him of some kind of radioactive material in the earth.

His intuition told him that this pool of water was not simple.

Maybe it's the reason why those little black grasshoppers turned into giants.

Thinking of this, he slowly came to the side of the green pool.

This fluorescent green color always made him uncomfortable.

Lords from Earth should all know why.

In addition to the excuse of green, the fluorescent green emitted in nature seems to be related to radiation, which is something that all humans on earth are afraid of.

Radiation can mutate cells and cause irreversible damage.

Of course, Zong Shen knew that this pool of water had nothing to do with strong radiation.

If it was really a highly radioactive material, then there would be an obvious tingling sensation on his skin before he even got close.

It may also be accompanied by dizziness and other conditions.

Radiation can penetrate his body instantly.

But now, except for some psychological discomfort, he has almost no abnormality.

It seems like this should be something special.

When I came to the pond, I didn't rush to drink the water and observe.

He kept a few meters away, stared slightly, and mobilized the strategy module with his mind.

[Negative Demonic Liquid (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[Effect: Negative magic liquid can annihilate each other with any elemental magic, and also has a certain infection and destructive effect on most non-elemental powers]

[You can use clay pots, crystal jars or glass containers for storage]

【Please do not make direct contact】

[After the caster comes into contact with the negative magic liquid, the magic value in the body will be permanently lost according to the amount of contact with the magic liquid. This loss is irreversible and will affect the talent]

[In addition, if taken directly, any strengthening of the body by magic power will be lost, but at the same time, the body will increase to a giant state ranging from 5 to 1500 times]

…

(If there is a negative, then there is a positive. If there is a positive in everything, there will be a negative.

If we say that under normal conditions, the magic power that everyone comes into contact with is positive

Then these negative magic liquids are negative.

It was born in the environment of [God Shell Stone] rejecting magic power.

This place existed long before it was transformed into the headquarters of the Holy Third Legion.

Over the long years, a pool of negative demon liquid has accumulated here.

After discovering the magical effects of these magic liquids,

The Holy Third Legion uses it as a trump card against demons

You must know that although the power of demons does not belong to ordinary elemental magic,

But it will also be contaminated by negative magic liquid

Just when the legion commander was about to report the situation here to the Archbishop

The leakage of Negative Demon Liquid in the Third Holy Legion, coupled with the attack of the rebellious Scourge, eventually led to the forcible sealing of the inner zone, and the commanders and tens of thousands of Holy Apostles remaining in the station were all transformed into a special Negative state. )

…

Zong Shen was silent.

This looks difficult to deal with.

However, the relevant ruins were personally selected for him as a strategy module.

He must have a solution to these troubles.

Now that I have encountered these [Negative Demonic Liquids], I might as well ask them all at once.

I should have a way to deal with the negative demon liquid and those negative bodies, right?

Golden subtitles appeared quickly.

(Your [Chaos Core] is one of the few things that can offset and absorb negative magic liquid)]

…

Zong Shen looked surprised.

In fact, he had made some guesses before.

Now it is confirmed.

[Chaos Core] is an independent object.

It is not designed to pacify the forces of demons and the Holy Spirit.

Reviewing its information, Zong Shen suddenly felt enlightened.

(Note: To correct some of the erroneous statements in the previous chapter, it is not the fifth level of orange, but a special level. There is no charge for the part with a word count less than 200).

【Chaos Core (Special)】

【Special items】

[The core of chaos, which can neutralize various conflicting forces, contains the most primitive power of chaos and can accommodate all kinds of energy]

…

Yes, the information is very clear in its introduction.

[Chaos Core] contains the most primitive power of chaos.

It can neutralize various power conflicts and tolerate various energies.

Because of this, Feronas Sinner suspected that it possessed the properties of the original void.

And [Chaos Core], a thing with no taboos, is one of the few beings that can restrain the negative pole.

It acts as a balancing body. In other words, it is the central axis of the scale.

The reason why [Light and Darkness Imbalance] occurs is not because [Chaos Core] is not powerful enough, but because the current demonic power and holy light power in Zong Shen's body are too different.

The gap between the two will lead to the gradual failure of the equilibrium conditions.

It's safe!

Collect some negative demon liquid first.

This rare and weird magic liquid is quite unique.

In addition to annihilating magic power, it can also completely eliminate the enhancement brought by magic power and replace it with giant form.

That was the case with those giant grasshoppers before.

It should be the changes that occurred after the little black grasshopper took these magic liquids.

This proves that common organisms should be harmless when taken.

This opened up new ideas for Zong.

If you think about it from another angle.

Can we use this characteristic of [Negative Demonic Liquid] to feed those livestock and poultry?

Domesticated livestock are basically ordinary beasts.

Of course, when you are in the external environment, you will basically be affected by magic to a greater or lesser extent.

But in comparison, those livestock are definitely weak demonic creatures.

Even if the changes brought about by magic are eliminated, it will have little effect.

If it can be transformed into a giant, there will be many benefits.

For example, if the grassland cow can be enlarged, it will be a perfect meat warehouse.

The premise is to confirm that the beef cattle produced in this way are still edible.

In addition, you can try this with all types of poultry and even grains.

This is another new function that Zong Shen came up with.

He calmed down and confirmed it through the strategy module, and found that it was indeed feasible.

Previously, the giant grasshoppers gained experience points after being destroyed, which proves that the creatures after the monster liquid giant state have not broken away from the overall framework!
