Chapter 581: Tepidade (5K chapter, please subscribe and vote)

When he arrived at the village, Lin Yi was surprised to find that he had spent a whole day in the snow-capped mountains. According to the development trend of the plague, many villagers should have died.

But the villagers in front of him did not change much, they were still sitting on the ground and wailing faintly.

"Time is distorted?"

In order to verify this hypothesis, Lin Yi took out a silver alarm clock from his personal space.

This alarm clock originated from Mechanical Street. Its special structure makes it a self-contained space-time system that can operate independently without being affected by any external factors.

After careful observation, Lin Yi discovered that the flow of time in the outside world was obviously slower than that of this alarm clock.

This made him realize that his perception of time in this world might be biased.

Lin Yi opened the main task column. The task deadline, which was originally displayed as 30 days, has now been reduced to 23 days.

This scene made Lin Yi's pupils tremble slightly. He never expected that he would spend a full seven days in the snowy mountains.

Looking at the remaining time in the task bar, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of urgency in his heart.

He started running directly on the road. The speed of time in this world was too exaggerated. Lin Yi did not want to be forcibly executed by the Reincarnation Paradise because of the overtime of the main task.

Lin Yi estimated that it only took him half an hour to reach the town, but the clock showed that three and a half hours had passed.

This time flow rate means that he only has three days left to complete the remaining tasks.

There was no one at the city gate at this moment. The guards had all hidden on the city wall, trembling with fear, fearing that they would be affected by the villagers infected with the plague outside.

This actually saved Lin Yi a lot of unnecessary trouble.

He entered the city unhindered and headed straight for the church of the Licker Church.

About ten minutes later, Lin Yi stood in front of the door of the Licker Church again.

He found that the number of patients gathering at the church door had increased compared to before.

In the bustling crowd, Hetty seemed to sense Lin Yi's arrival. She slowly raised her head and her eyes happened to meet Lin Yi's.

Lin Yi didn't say much. He took out the small bag of [Aromatic Garlic] from his personal space and handed it to Hetty.

Hetty took the package and examined it carefully, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

Then she walked hurriedly into the church and soon came in front of Lin Yi with a piece of linen stained with blood.

[Hint: The hunter has completed the side quest: Collecting herbs.]

[Tip: Hunter Licker Church's favorability +50, now reaches respect. ]

[The hunter receives 10 Paradise Coins and bloodstained linen.]

……

Lin Yi had seen this kind of sealed equipment before. There were special shops on Staff Street that were responsible for unlocking the seals. That was much more convenient than struggling to find a way to unlock the seal in the derivative world.

After handing the things to Lin Yi, Hetty hurried back to the church and started to boil medicine with aromatic garlic.

For these plague patients, any medicine that could relieve their pain was extremely important.

After completing the side quest, Lin Yi immediately used the second teleportation gem in his hand. As his figure changed, Lin Yi found himself in an underground church.

At this moment, Lin Yi discovered that there was a nun standing near the church gate, praying devoutly to the statue.

After sensing Lin Yi's arrival, the nun slowly turned her head.

"Have you come to sever the sin of miracles?"

"Unfortunately, I can't help you directly, but I hope my prayers can bring you some help."

[Tip: The hunter gains a blessing effect, and the damage to miracle creatures increases by 50%. ]

As the nun finished blessing Lin Yi, Lin Yi could find that the nun looked much older than before.

If the nun before was a young girl in her teens, then the nun now looks like a woman in her thirties or almost forty years old, with wrinkles already at the corners of her eyes.

"Confessor, do not worry about me or my now unrecognizable appearance. This is just a small price to pay to sever the miracle."

The nun smiled at Lin Yi, then closed her eyes and began to pray devoutly.

Lin Yi didn't waste any words. Holding his sword, he pushed the door open and walked into the dark hall.

Faint snoring could be heard in the hall, as if someone was sleeping.

After Lin Yi entered the hall, the oil lamps on both sides of the wall lit up with pale yellow flames.

Lin Yi could smell a hint of white phosphorus from it. It seemed that as long as someone entered here, the oil lamp would ignite on its own without fire.

Following the light of the oil lamp, a huge monster appeared in front of Lin Yi.

This monster has a human body, very tall and strong, with well-defined muscles.

In sharp contrast to this is its terrifying sheep skull head.

The sheep's skull was as pale as frost, rugged and thin, with prominent joints. A strange red light flashed in the empty eye sockets from time to time, like a will-o'-the-wisp in the depths of hell.

The surface of the skull is covered with rough textures and crisscrossing cracks.

Twisted and winding branches and vines grew on his head, like evil tentacles stretching out wildly.

The branches are twisted and intertwined in various shapes, some as thick as a child's arm, and some as thin as a hair.

There was no trace of green leaves on the branches, only extremely sharp thorns.

His arms and legs also have a bark-like texture, and his skin seems to be integrated with the plant's epidermis, appearing extremely hard and rough.

The surface of the skin is covered with tiny wrinkles and raised bumps, looking like sandpaper.

Its fingers and toes are like sharp tree roots, long and thin, with sharp barbs growing abruptly at the joints.

At this moment, this creepy monster is lying safely in the warm embrace of a holy icon.

The expression of the statue was compassionate, and the monster in his arms had his eyes closed, his face revealing a rare sense of peace and tranquility, as if such a snuggle could give his tortured soul a moment of peace and allow him to sleep more peacefully.

Due to Lin Yi's sudden arrival, the lights turned on and disturbed the monster's slumber.

This monster is very grumpy when he wakes up.

Its eyes, which had just opened, were filled with hideous bloodshot, like burning flames, full of anger and violence.

After it awakened from the embrace of the holy image, it let out a deafening roar towards the sky.

Then, its strong and powerful hands grabbed the head of the statue nearby, and with a terrifying "click", the statue's head was pulled directly off the statue by this monster.

The next second, the monster smashed the statue's head towards Lin Yi without hesitation.

The head of the statue spun rapidly in the air, causing a whistling sound in the wind.

Lin Yi was agile, like a nimble cheetah. He quickly dodged the stone statue thrown by the monster and began to detect the opponent's attributes.

In this state, all his attacks will incur additional magic damage, and there is a certain chance that an additional thorn spray effect will be triggered, causing damage to surrounding enemies. The Thorn Fury state lasts for 10 minutes, during which Tepidad is immune to all control effects.

Almost in an instant, a deafening roar exploded like thunder, and layers of surging air waves spread wildly in all directions with an overwhelming force.

The already broken bricks and tiles nearby began to fall off, making a noisy crackling sound, like dense raindrops hitting the ground.

Lin Yi felt a buzzing sound in his head, and he felt dizzy, and the scene in front of him became blurry.

Lin Yi never expected that the opponent would be so violent and would use his ultimate move right away.

boom!
Large cracks appeared on the walls near Tepidade, with countless stones and dust flying everywhere.

The scene was like a powerful tank rampaging through the church, wreaking havoc.

The white phosphorus flame instantly ignited the thorns on Tepidade's body, and the flame burned fiercely, making a crackling sound.

However, due to the special effects of the miracle of pain, these white phosphorus could not cause any substantial damage to Tepidade.

At this moment, Tepidade was extremely angry. What he hated most was someone disturbing his sleep when he was resting.

After Lin Yi narrowly avoided Tepidad's charge, he suddenly heard a sharp explosion from his right ear.

He was very familiar with the sound, it was some huge object flying towards him at an astonishing speed.

Lin Yi lowered his head almost instinctively, and at that moment, with a "whoosh", a millstone-sized stone flew past him like a meteor.

The stone disappeared in front of him in an instant with a sharp sound of wind, followed by a deafening bang, and the stone hit the wall not far in front of Lin Yi heavily.

Under the tremendous rage of Tepidade, the already shaky and cracked wall was instantly collapsed by the stones.

For a moment, dust flew all over the sky, covering the sun and making it impossible to see the scene in front of them.

An extremely sharp thorn suddenly grew on Tepidade's shoulder. His basin-sized claws grabbed the thorn, and with a crisp "click" sound, the thorn was broken off.

Its thick arms were knotted with muscles, and it threw out the thorns with all its strength.

The thorns flew out very fast, and Lin Yi had no time to dodge. He could only summon two layers of shields to block in front of him.

Almost in an instant, the fierce thorn pierced through the shield.

Fortunately, the shield successfully slowed down the flying speed of the thorns, which was enough for Lin Yi to react and cut the thorns into two pieces in mid-air.

Tepidard took heavy steps and rushed towards Lin Yi again, and this time, Lin Yi rushed forward with a sword in hand.

The distance between Lin Yi and Tepidade quickly narrowed. When the distance reached two meters, Lin Yi raised his sword and thrust forward.

In Lin Yi's eyes, dense white spots appeared on Tepidad's body. These were Tepidad's weaknesses.

The black and white rose pierced the air with a whimpering sound and rushed towards Tepidade with a fierce momentum.

Facing this fierce sword, Tepidad didn't care at all. It opened its bloody mouth wide, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced directly at Lin Yi. It was obvious that it wanted to withstand Lin Yi's attack and knock Lin Yi to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi's figure suddenly froze in place. While thrusting his arms, he pushed hard with his legs and leaped backwards.

With a "ripping" sound, like a rag being torn apart, the black and white rose instantly pierced Tepidade's forearm.

The skin and flesh, along with the thorns on the surface of the body, were pierced by Lin Yi in one stroke.

However, the tip of the sword was firmly stuck in the bones and stopped in the middle.

The sword was like stabbing into an extremely tough piece of rubber. The deeper it tried to penetrate, the greater the resistance it encountered, as if there was an invisible force resisting it.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and used all his strength to rotate the sword. The extremely sharp blade of the Black and White Rose Sword instantly cut off Tepidade's hand bones, and then pulled out from the opponent's arm.

"Zheng~"

The sword edge made a crisp sound, followed by a roar.

The gravel flew everywhere like locusts, and Tepidade's pounce was in vain.

At this moment, Lin Yi was in the process of leaping backwards.

Although it missed, Tepidade bared its sharp fangs, proving that it was not as stupid and dull as it looked.

The thorns on Tepidade's body began to explode one by one, and the next second, a large number of thorn balls attacked Lin Yi like an overwhelming force.

These thorn balls rushed towards us with tremendous kinetic energy, and their power was almost comparable to that of a shotgun.

Lin Yi did not dare to be careless at all. A dark shadow passage suddenly appeared in front of him, transferring all the aggressive thorn balls to a position two hundred meters behind him.

The moment these thorn balls fell to the ground, there was a loud "boom" sound, deafening.

The thorn ball exploded suddenly, with flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing.

A huge deep pit was instantly blown out on the ground, which was bottomless and looked like a ferocious mouth.

At the same time, due to the explosion of the thorn ball, the thorns on the surface of the thorn ball shot out in all directions like darts.

After these thorns touched the wall, they shot into the wall like bullets, and after a "bang" sound, they began to make a "sizzling" sound.

The next second, a bottomless hole appeared near the wall where the bullet was shot. The wall of the hole was charred and emitted a pungent smell.

After Lin Yi landed, he stepped on the ground and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Tepidade only felt a chill in his chest, then he looked down subconsciously, only to be shocked to find that the sword had pierced his chest without him knowing when.

The big claws with a strong fishy smell waved wildly towards Lin Yi, bringing up a fishy wind.

Lin Yi stomped his feet hard on the ground and leaped away flexibly, like a light flying bird.

The long sword thrust straight out, and the sword energy flew out of the blade like a black streak.

Tepidad, who was rushing towards him, didn't care at all and charged directly into the sword energy. His ferocious face was full of arrogance.

But unfortunately, Lin Yi's sword energy was far from as simple as Tepidard had imagined.

For a moment, it was as if a powerful high-explosive grenade exploded inside Tepidade's body.

Countless tiny sword energies pierced through Tepidade's body, and its insides seemed to be cut into pieces by thousands of knives.

Tiny pieces of thorns kept falling from Tepidad's body like falling autumn leaves.

When the sword attack ended, the blood bar above Tepidade's head dropped sharply, leaving only about 40%.

"Roar!!!"

Tepidard let out a deafening roar, then raised his right foot high and stomped it heavily on the floor.

Lin Yi reacted quickly, jumped up immediately, and narrowly avoided the shock wave coming from the ground.

The next second, a long thorn on Tepidade's arm suddenly stretched out.

At this time, Lin Yi was in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage, and the thorns directly pierced into Lin Yi's left shoulder.

The blood instantly dyed his clothes red and flowed down his arms.

When Lin Yi was nailed to the wall by the thorns, he endured the severe pain, slashed upward with his right hand swiftly, and cut off the thorn cleanly and neatly.

The thorns of Tepidad contained extremely toxic substances, and Lin Yi could clearly hear a "sizzling" sound coming from the wound on his shoulder.

After sliding down the wall, Lin Yi and Tepidad were wary of each other, guarding against each other's attacks.
