Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 602: Strange Scepter

It is obvious that it will take some time for Brother Miaozi to return.

During the time he was away from Zhuxin Island, players' exploration never stopped, and a new post in the forum also attracted further attention from players.

"Fuck you guys, I encountered a dynamic plot in the Living Sacrifice dungeon. It was a very... well, weird scepter. Very weird!"

The player shared his experience.

"Living Sacrifice Ceremony" is a new copy launched by Lingzhu not long ago. In this copy, an ignorant group of rats sacrificed to an unknown evil god and dragged the entire village into the abyss.

There is a large amount of text information left in this relic area, which makes candle scientists and players who pay attention to the background quite satisfied, but in fact there is nothing special about it.

But this player's experience is different from other players.

Because he encountered a strange scepter during his exploration...

This scepter that suddenly appeared was obviously unique and not found in other players' copies.

Of course, if it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the player soon discovered the difference of this scepter...

……

【Unknown Scepter(?)】

[Type: Weapons/Special Items]

【Effect:?】

[Explanation: An unexpected scepter may add a different touch to this journey.]

"What the hell is this? Unknown quality... There's a mouth on the scepter... Awesome."

"There doesn't seem to be any record of this scepter in the guide for the Living Sacrifice Ceremony?"

Looking at the strange staff stuck in the ground in front of him, the player with the ID "Two and a Half Years of Fighting" was quite shocked.

The scepter in front of him seemed to have heard his mumbling.

The mouth on the scepter began to open and close, making a low and magnetic sound.

“It’s always unsettling to encounter the unknown on the road.”

"The survival instinct of life determines that they will not easily try possible dangers..."

"Oh my god, he can talk?" Dahui was really shocked. He could confirm that this was definitely a situation that no other player had ever encountered.

After hearing what the other party said, Dahui's rebellious mentality as a player came up: "Danger? Am I afraid of your scepter?"

After saying that, Dahui walked forward carelessly, grabbed the scepter and pulled it out.

And after he did so, the Scepter spoke again.

"Life's definition of self is the criterion for distinguishing between bravery and stupidity."

"What do you mean?" Dahui muttered after fiddling with the scepter to make sure it was not threatening, and then tried to ask: "What are you? Why are you here? What's your use?"

In response, the Scepter remained silent.

I don’t know whether he doesn’t want to reply or can’t reply, or some other reason.

Dahui scratched his head: "...Why is this scepter so strange..."

"Forget it, just take it with you first."

[Due to special reasons, this item cannot be added to the inventory. 】

"Still can't put it in the inventory?"

Dahui's mouth twitched, and he had the urge to throw it away, but after thinking it over, he resisted the urge and took it with him.

There must be some big secret in this strange scepter. It would be a shame to throw it away.

"If you speak like a philosopher, you can call it the Philosophical Scepter."

After naming the scepter in his hand, Dahui set off with it and continued his journey of exploration in the living sacrifice ceremony.

……

Soon, he came to the first dangerous area in the Living Sacrifice Ceremony. From the player's exploration perspective.

There is an extremely powerful mad giant rat here. It will indiscriminately attack all moving creatures, even its own kind.

When all the living things around it die, it will begin to self-mutilate, emitting intense pain.

That’s right, after players’ exploration and interpretation, they discovered that the ashes corresponding to this legacy copy related to ashes are “pain”.

This living sacrifice ceremony also arises from pain.

Dahui is not a top player, but he can barely be considered a solid player. Although Chen Yan's fire-worshiping strength cannot explore some high-level dungeons, it is still good enough in the fire-worshiping dungeon of the Living Sacrifice.

In addition, since I learned from Brother Bangying, it is very easy to advance the map.

"OK, Shushu, don't worry, I'll send you to heaven right away..."

From a safe distance, Dahui took a look at the giant rat that was wantonly slaughtering other rat zombies in the village, muttered to himself, then took out a bottle of magic potion and gulped it down.

Rock potion, increased resilience!
After drinking, Dahui took out some of the fish and started eating and drinking.

"In order to avoid the pain brought by war, people often numb themselves by drinking..."

At this time, the Philosophical Scepter next to him spoke, and seemed to be commenting on the graying.

Dahui almost choked when he suddenly heard the noise.

"Drinking?"

"…I drank a magic potion, stupid scepter!"

The startled Dahui first confirmed that the giant rat in front of him didn't notice it, and then he cursed in annoyance.

The scepter fell silent again.

"Just stay here for now and stop causing me trouble..."

After taking a glance, Dahui raised the frost lance in his hand, then found a good angle and headed towards the giant rat.

Since the mobility of the hard-binding flow is so poor, frost lances are generally used to compensate for it.

boom!
The king's spirit stirred up air currents, giving the dusty armor a layer of unique power.

Then, the "Hardened Skin" combat skill was also attached to it for further strengthening.

Finally, the power of fire ignited, and the power of fire after the combination of the Law Knight and the Giant Shedding flowed down, forming a white and yellow illusory heavy armor.

"Roar--"

Seeing the living creature, the giant rat rushed towards him, and its smelly saliva splashed everywhere.

boom!
The head-on battle started instantly, and there was a lot of commotion in the village full of rodent characteristics.

Angry roars and war cries were intertwined, mixed with the sound of flesh being torn and the collapse and ruins of buildings.

Some of the rat zombies that still retained some instincts fled in panic, and one of them bumped headfirst into the philosophical scepter that was left there.

What’s strange is that some of the rat zombies started fighting for no apparent reason after bumping into their own kind, with blood flying everywhere.

after a while.

Dahui, covered in blood, finished the battle, returned here panting, and picked up the scepter that fell to the ground.

At this moment, the scepter suddenly spoke.

"Life is born to fear pain."

"Foolish creatures try to divert suffering, but they only make it stronger."

"It never goes away, it is the thorn in the side of wisdom."

“Suffering comes from within.”

Hearing this, Dahui stopped what he was doing and narrowed his eyes with a serious look.

"…What are you mumbling about?"
