Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 216: Fire in Progress

An irreplaceable reason?

After hearing what Rogge said, Nonia was silent for a moment, and then smiled.

"Thank you for your comfort, Lord Roger."

Roger smiled and said nothing.

He turned his head and looked at Master Burton again.

"Master Burton, do you have any opinion about these students?"

"You want to ask about the fire..."

Upon hearing this, Master Burton glanced at Rogge, and when he saw the other party nod, he smiled.

"It seems that Mr. Roger does not have much confidence in your group of warriors."

"I don't deny that they have their own strengths, but in this regard..." Roger did not deny what Master Burton said, but just shook his head slightly.

After hearing what Roger said, Burton did not respond immediately, but told Roger something that seemed unrelated.

"I once consulted an elder when I was stuck on a fire ceremony. His answer left a deep impression on me and inspired me..."

"He said that since the moment the flames began to emit light and heat in the Burning Earth and the Endless Sea, most of the people illuminated by the fire of wisdom can be classified into two categories."

"One is people with strong wills who change the environment through their own efforts, constantly fighting against the strong winds that try to extinguish the flames, and make the environment fit themselves."

"Second, people who are not strong enough due to various natural or man-made factors also have their own way of survival."

"If there is no flame material, then look for it. If a strong wind comes, then hide from it. Keep adapting and find the soil suitable for survival. The flame will eventually survive..."

Having said that, Burton looked at Roger.

“Whether it’s adaptation or change, it’s all for the same purpose.”

"And this group of warriors never lost their way..."

adapt……

That's right, it seems that he overlooked this point, and thus had some unnecessary worries...

After hearing Burton's words, Roger pondered for a moment, then nodded, and his worries disappeared.

However, he couldn't help but grumble in his heart.

"Apart from the changes, I don't think I have ever hinted or reminded these little leeks about "adapting". They... shouldn't have any problems, right?"

……

[You have entered a special area. Some of the candle spirit's abilities and weapons have been temporarily locked. ]

After confirming the fire offering ceremony next to the spirit candle, I went ashore and felt a moment of confusion in front of my eyes, and then the surrounding environment was reassembled.

Finally, it froze into a strange platform, with the surroundings and the sky shrouded in darkness, but roads leading to four directions, east, south, west and north, stretched out without end.

He went ashore and slowly stood up, then he saw that many abilities in his information panel were locked and could not be used at all, and the same was true for the inventory.

"What the hell? Where's my staff?" Shang'an looked at his empty hands and the locked inventory in disbelief: "I can't play without a staff!"

There is no staff and no equipment.

But no matter how he cursed, there was no response.

When I got ashore, I felt depressed and could only focus on other prompt messages.

[In this area, your physical strength, mental strength, health, attack, defense and other values ​​will be affected by "will". ]

[You need to find the manifestation of war in this special area and combine will and war into one. ]

[The fire ceremony is about to begin...]

"Alas!" When I saw this message on the shore, it was already the last moment of the countdown, and I didn't even have time to check the information about "will"...

【The fire ceremony has begun. 】

As this prompt message appeared, I heard a crisp "click" sound from the floor under my feet when I got ashore.

He looked down and saw that cracks had already spread from under his feet.

Oh no, I have to choose a path quickly!

There are four roads: east, south, west and north. Which one should I choose?
He went ashore and looked around, hesitant, but the cracks under his feet did not intend to wait for him and spread rapidly like a spider web.

Time is running out!

Forget it, just pick one at random, it doesn’t look any different anyway!
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and ran towards one of the roads.

At the same time he made his choice, the cracks on the platform spread and fell rapidly, and eventually completely disconnected from other roads.

Looking at the relatively stable road under my feet, I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I got ashore.

I glanced at the road ahead and saw that it was still deep in darkness with no end in sight. It was obviously very far away.

After confirming that there was no danger around, he finally had time to check the special numerical display.

[Will: Weak]

[Explanation: Your willpower is weak, which prevents you from getting help, and all values ​​are weakened by 25%.]

"?"

After getting ashore, he was stunned for a moment, and then he started to jump up and down.

"Fuck, what do you mean, you say I'm weak-willed? Damn it, I'm a very determined person, okay? Isn't this bullshit? Damn it!"

And just when I got ashore, I felt red in the face because of a message prompt.

There was suddenly some movement ahead.

rustling.

It seemed to be the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

When he went ashore and looked towards the source of the sound, he felt his scalp tingling. He saw a thin figure shrouded in black mist, slowly walking towards him with a cold short blade in his hand. He looked like a classic "assassin".

【Assassin】

[Rank:? ]

[Description: An assassin who appears and disappears mysteriously, seeking to kill with one strike.]

“No!” I felt my scalp tingling as I got ashore, and I wailed in my heart: “You didn’t even give me the staff, and you want me to fight with an assassin monster?”

The assassin slowly approached.

It puts enormous psychological pressure on those who go ashore.

When I went ashore, I was complaining about Lingzhu’s officials and planners in my heart.

He looked at the broken road behind him and swallowed. He knew he had no way out, so he could only force himself to calm down and adjust his breathing.

After taking a deep breath, he clenched his fist and assumed an attacking stance.

“…Fuck, if you don’t have a staff, then you don’t have a staff. I’ll beat you anyway!” As if because of his desperate courage, a message suddenly popped up.

[Your will has become stronger.]

[Will: Medium]

[Explanation: Your willpower is average, and it is not time for you to get help. All values ​​are the same as the original body.]

Eh? It's rising!
When he got ashore and saw this, he was delighted and a light bulb went off in his mind, as if he had gotten some inspiration.

But he didn't have time to think about it.

"Jie Jie..."

The assassin in front suddenly sneered, took a step sideways, and merged directly into the darkness on one side of the road.

And when I got ashore, both sides... were completely dark!
"Worthy!"

This startled Shangan. He looked around and cold sweat broke out on his back. It seemed as if the assassin would emerge from the darkness at the next moment.

Shit, if that’s the case, even if I want to fight to the death and use the farmer’s three punches to defeat the opponent, there’s no way!
When I got ashore I felt like crying but had no tears.

As if it weren't bad enough, the information column also brought good news at this time.

[Your willpower has been greatly reduced.]

[Will: Weak]

[Explanation: Your willpower is weak, which makes you stagger and weakens all your values ​​by 50%.]

Damn it...

After seeing this message, I felt my body sinking and my limbs becoming weak when I got ashore. I felt even more desperate.

But the information prompts also took advantage of this time to pursue the victory.

[Your willpower has decreased again.]

But it was too late to read these information prompts when they got ashore.

Because, at the edge of the darkness beside him, with a sneer, the assassin in the black fog rushed out directly.

There was a flash of cold light, and even though he still had some desire to escape after reaching the shore, his body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead and he couldn't move.

Darkness enveloped everything...

【Fire Failure】

[You have acquired the "Fire Worshiper Loser" status, which will last for 24 hours. You can consume wax oil to purify.]

[Fire Worship Loser: During the Fire Worship Ceremony, your willpower was severely damaged, various values ​​were reduced by 25%, and physical and mental energy consumption increased.]

His body reassembled beside the spirit candle, and when he came ashore he felt exhausted both physically and mentally, with a slight headache.

When he saw this message, he felt like crying but had no tears.

"What the hell is this? They all died for no apparent reason..."

He looked around and found that he seemed to be the only one who had quit due to failure, and he felt even more sad...

……

And Shangdi was not the only one who encountered danger during the fire ceremony.

Although Li Miao also chose a path in a hurry, the monster he faced was called [Eye of Death], a monster that looked like a big eyeball.

It just stared at Li Miao.

[You are in a bleeding state, and your blood volume continues to decrease...]

The continuous loss of blood forced Li Miao to think about how to solve it.

But once you try to get close to it, a series of negative bufs such as [Poison], [Slowdown], [Freeze], [Death], [Corruption], [Parasite], [Crazy], etc. will be directly attached, and the closer you get, the faster they stack up.

At this time, Li Miao was not wearing any equipment and was unarmed, and was in danger.

In such a situation, Li Miao could only force himself to remain calm.

After a moment, an idea struck him.

"If advancing requires fighting, then it would be unreasonable to do it with bare hands. The ritual should not be designed in this way..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his empty palms.

"will……"

"So……"

After seeing the information in the prompt bar, Li Miao seemed to be inspired.

After taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and slowly grasped the handle of the non-existent lance.

The next moment, he felt an icy cold sensation and Li Miao felt his body suddenly sink.

Sure enough! Here it comes!
This made Li Miao feel excited.

He opened his eyes, pressed down the knight's mask, and held the large shield tightly across his chest.

"drink!"

With a roar, Li Miao rushed towards the [Death Eyes].

Various debuffs and weakening effects fall at this moment and increase rapidly.

And it seems that the moment when these debuffs reach the critical point is probably earlier than the moment when Li Miao encounters the [Eye of Death].

but.

Li Miao was no longer paying attention to these things at this moment, and he ignored the prompts that popped up in the information bar one after another.

He had only one thought in mind at the moment, and that was - charge!
sieve--

Finally, a cold light flashed by.

All kinds of negative buffs stopped at the critical point and did not explode.

But Li Miao didn't know all this. He just kept gasping for breath, his chest heaving violently.

The more you think, the more concerns you have.

Charging forward without stopping is reckless, but it is also a manifestation of courage.

It was not until the crisis was over that he saw the message.

[A qualified warrior should firmly choose and believe in his weapon! ]

[Your willpower increases.]

[Will: Strong]

[Explanation: Your will is now stronger, which allows you to have weapons and equipment, and each statistic increases by 25%.]
