Chapter 238 Crimson Chaos Wand Usage Quota? Those were the ones I threw into the auction house.

Eileen is skilled in archery, capable of killing an opponent with a single shot, and she treats most targets equally.

Mina, on the other hand, is more skilled in rapid-fire, able to fire five or six powerful arrows in quick succession in a short period of time, which have an additional attack effect on monsters.

However, the basic agility and archery strength of both sides combined to form a surprisingly similar ordinary shooting ability.

This resulted in the two archers exchanging arrows at each other from a considerable distance, but neither could hit the other. All their arrows collided precisely at the midline and broke off there.

In the end, Eileen, with her infinitely replenishable elven quiver, prevailed and was the first to run out of arrows from the opposing team.

However, it was also because the number of times they exchanged arrows was unbelievable that they became curious about each other. After confirming that Mina was an NPC and not a player, Eileen decided to team up with her.

As a demon slayer whose primary purpose is to eliminate monsters, Mina deliberately entered this expanding battleground shrouded in hellish miasma. Her goal was to find and destroy a terrifying monster that had recently wreaked havoc on innocent lives.

Corrupt heretics.

"Did you kill him?"

After finishing the chicken wing bone, Cheng Tian asked.

"Of course, don't you even know who I am?"

Eileen, having pushed the pepper doctor's mouth down, answered matter-of-factly, then grabbed Mina, who was helping to feed her adorable saw-toothed pterosaur, and showed it to Cheng Tian like a treasure.

Cheng Tian could only find the girls' uninhibited intimate behavior pleasing to the eye and gave them a thumbs up.

"But to be fair, that corrupt heretic is the purest evil I've ever seen. It has no other purpose in mind; it's pure evil born out of hunger. Given your personality, I reckon you would do everything in your power to kill it if you saw it."

After first showing off her achievements, Eileen, with a slightly serious expression, gave this evaluation of the lewd Taoist.

The Corrupt Heretic was a human who was infected by the miasma of hell and mutated into the attribute of a "starving ghost". He ate everything he could, even his own arm, revealing his ulna and radius bones, which resembled crab claws after the mutation. At the same time, his body was completely transformed into the appearance of a demon.

It craves human flesh, especially the flesh of young women. It even devoured its own pregnant daughter, whom it had risked everything to find.

The Outer Path of Corruption chased after an apprentice priestess named Rimuru all the way to the players' battle royale area, where she became a wandering BOSS. She has the characteristic of continuously growing by "eating", and humans and players are both on her diet.

When Eileen and her companion found the Corrupted Heretic, this truly evil heretic burped and spat out a skull, which was the only undigested part of its daughter's body.

If the main goal is to complete the main storyline's battle royale missions, Eileen would naturally want to stay as far away from the Corrupt Path as possible. However, when she saw the description of the side quest trigger mentioning the Corrupt Path's actions and then saw the skull that had been spat out, Eileen became furious.

Reason told her that this was just a setting for dungeon NPCs, and that evil monsters like the Corruption Path would still exist in other players' "Samurai Shodown Zero" dungeons, but she still couldn't stand it.

Even at the risk of being discovered by other players, she was determined to take down this lewd cultist.

Sometimes, people let their emotions drive them to do things, which may not bring them any profit or even result in a complete loss. But what Eileen seeks is a clear understanding of her thoughts.

As expected, it wasn't just Eileen who had similar thoughts about attacking the cult; the local NPCs Nakoruru and Rimururu, some players with a sense of justice, and some red-named players who, while not particularly outstanding themselves, felt that keeping the cultists around was too dangerous, all spontaneously launched a collective attack on the cultists.

Given her role as a ranged archer, Eileen is someone other players would be wary of, fearing that during a temporary cooperative raid, Eileen's arrow might land directly on the back of their neck.

The process of defeating the Corrupt Path was rather lengthy and arduous. Although everyone shared the goal of defeating the Corrupt Path, the fear of being attacked from the shadows or betrayed made it difficult for them to focus their efforts in the same direction. This gave the Corrupt Path multiple opportunities to eat, regenerate health, and evolve. The Corrupt Path only eats and doesn't excrete. Except for things it can't digest, everything it eats becomes part of its body, including equipment and abilities. Combined with its ability to regenerate health through eating and its extremely high health pool, the Corrupt Path was more difficult to kill than expected.

"So how did you kill it?"

Cheng Tian became even more curious.

He was very familiar with the Corrupt Path. After hearing their description, he felt that this kind of monster with unlimited growth ability and the ability to quickly eat and regenerate health would be very difficult to kill no matter how he thought about it. In fact, Cheng Tian felt that it was even more difficult to kill than the Silver Prince.

"I set up a trap using props, and it ate itself to death."

As Eileen spoke, she tossed an item panel in front of Cheng Tian.

[Side effects of the drug: Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, trap cards, consumables. Usage condition: Can only be used outside of battle.]

After use, a permanent, continuously active trap zone can be set up within a 25*25 meter square area. Within this zone, all HP recovery effects will be 100% reversed to an equivalent HP deduction effect. The user can only activate the trap card at any time during combat, and the trap zone lasts for 5 minutes.

This item was a one-time use item she obtained from a lottery in the entertainment area before she met Cheng Tian. Because she didn't experience the same inventory crisis as Cheng Tian, ​​she left it in her inventory without ever touching it.

"The corpses of players and NPCs in the Samurai Shodown Zero dungeon don't disappear after they die. With Feng's help, I discovered a battlefield left behind after a chaotic battle between players and NPCs. Although the chests are all gone, the corpses are still there..."

Eileen shrugged, everything was self-evident.

The Outer Path of Decay possesses the attributes of a starving ghost. In addition to seeking out tender and delicious young women, it is not afraid of any edible corpses, and it especially loves humans. The path it follows to eat Rimururu is a journey of stopping and starting, all to satisfy its ever-present hunger.

Then Eileen's task was to move the corpse to the trap area in advance and wait for the Corruption Path to come.

There was no need for any seduction; the lecherous creature came at the mere smell of the corpses. Driven by appetite but lacking any sense of reason, it unhesitatingly began its buffet-style feast.

However, the health recovery buff that should have appeared with eating turned into a health reduction buff. As its health decreased, the Corrupted Path wanted to eat more corpses, and eating more corpses increased its rate of health loss.

The more he ate, the hungrier he became; the hungrier he became, the more he ate. In the end, the corrupt heretic ate ​​himself to death.

With the right approach, even the toughest bosses can become easy targets.

With the help of a trap, Eileen achieved over 90% kill health, significantly boosting her main storyline rating. Furthermore, due to her high compatibility, she triggered a bronze-level side quest that allowed her to take Mina away, which is why she couldn't wait to come to Cheng Tian to show off.

However, on her way here, she glanced at the Starry Sky chat group and found it bustling with activity, with over 999 messages and many lurkers actively participating.

Only after asking did I learn that there was an upgrade slot for the "Crimson Chaos Wand" in the auction house. Its upgrade effect even surpassed that of ordinary main quests, and the permanent 150 HP bonus was especially attractive to players who focused on Agility, Spirit, and Charisma.

Players above Bronze level were kicking themselves, while those below Bronze level were itching to get started.

"Oh, that one? I put that spot up for auction."

With a flash, the Crimson Chaos Wand appeared in Cheng Tian's hand.

A small piece of Hawaiian pizza fell right out of Erin's gaping mouth... and was then snatched away and eaten by the saw-crocodile pterosaur crouching below at lightning speed!
