Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 201 Unboxing, Obsession Crystal Core
Compared to Gao Yang's novelty, Yegrit seemed to be accustomed to it.

It seems that this is not the first time he has encountered such a scene.

Yegrit looked at Gao Yang with some curiosity. Previously, he could feel that the will of the plane had a brief exchange with this powerful outsider and even gave him certain benefits.

He had never encountered such a situation in all these years.

Gao Yang came back to his senses, looked at Yegrit, and then asked, "It seems that this is not the first time that the captain has communicated with 'it'?"

Yegrit nodded slightly, looking towards the canyon in front of him, with a hint of reminiscence in his voice:
“That was the second year after the fall of the Holy Gold Empire. I was fighting against the Boiling Warriors at the time. After I killed a Boiling Commander, greatness descended.

It is precisely because of the advent of the Great One that I have become who I am today. I cannot imagine that if it had not existed, I would have died in a corner of the battlefield long ago."

Gao Yang felt a little emotional. As far as he knew, Yegrit was not young at all. It seemed that he had become the Son of the Plane a long time ago. It was normal for him to have such strength.

"By the way, 'It' contacted me earlier and wanted me to help you clean up this continent completely."

Gao Yang added.

Yegrit was not surprised, or rather, as a pure son of the plane, he knew about this matter earlier than Gao Yang, the person involved.

"Thank you." He said softly.

According to the established strategy, their next stop was the base camp of the Netherworld Evil Tree, located in Sodris in the west of the continent. The Netherworld Mother Tree was rooted in this big city.

Walpole is far away from Sodris, the center of the west. According to the speed of the Everlasting Knights, it will take about fifteen days.

However, after the destruction of the Boiling Nation, the logistics of the Everlasting Knights were replenished in the city of Walpole, so that their food and grass have now returned to their best condition.

Moreover, because of the previous war, the original 8,000-man strength of the Yongyao Knights is now reduced to only 6,000. Although the number of people is reduced, the marching speed has been improved to a certain extent.

After crossing the canyon, it was already late, so the Yongyao Knights immediately chose a flat plain with no obstructions to set up camp.

Like before, Gao Yang still had a separate tent.

After dinner, Gao Yang sat cross-legged in his tent. There were many people around, and although he was curious about what was in the treasure chests exploded by the Boiling Lord and the Boiling Incarnation, he did not take any action.

I've been working in the variety show network for a while, so I shouldn't be so incapable of this kind of self-control.

Now, he should not be disturbed for a short time, so he plans to open the two treasure chests to see what is inside.

Apart from anything else, the luck +3 and fate weight granted by the plane's will will definitely make his luck in the Holy Gold Plane better.

Two treasure chests appeared in front of him, one golden and the other light gold.

The golden ones are dropped by the Boiling Lord Higgins, while the light gold ones are dropped by the Boiling Avatar of a higher status.

Moreover, compared to the pale gold treasure chest dropped by the Boiling Avatar, the treasure chest dropped by the Boiling Monarch Higgins is more precious.

Because it has its own unique suffix: The Obsession Chest of the Boiling Monarch Higgins.

Boiling Monarch Higgins's Obsession Chest:

Origin: Holy Gold Continent

Quality: gold

Treasure chest related words: obsession, boiling, spirit, domination

Description: As a former high priest of the Holy Gold Empire who was able to communicate with the Holy Gold's will, the more he understood, the more despair he felt; the more he understood, the stronger his obsession became.

The gradual decline of Shengjin's will made Higgins's mind more and more depressed. At the same time, his obsession with making Shengjin glorious again became deeper and deeper, until "boiling" found him.

The brief description clearly stated the reasons for the transformation of Higgins, the high priest of the empire, but Gao Yang didn't care about it. What good would it matter if he cared about a dead person?

However, looking at Higgins's experience, Gao Yang couldn't help but think of the Sanglong world he had experienced before. It was similar to the current situation of the Holy Gold Continent, but it seemed that only the Old One had invaded the Sanglong world.

Santas took the initiative to devote himself to the old days and ultimately maintained his independent thinking, unlike Higgins now, who was completely assimilated by the "boiling".

From this point of view, Santas's willpower is still far stronger than Higgins. No wonder he can concentrate on a single specialty.

Collecting his thoughts, Gao Yang picked up the pale gold treasure chest that exploded from the boiling incarnation and opened it.

A not-too-bright pale golden light came into view, and when the light faded, a scepter appeared in his hand.

After looking at the attributes of the scepter, Gao Yang sighed slightly.

The thing is a good thing, a scepter of light gold quality, absolutely a good thing.

But this scepter has no effect on Gao Yang. As a close combat warrior, it is impossible for him to hit his opponent on the head with a scepter.

Moreover, the use requirement of this scepter is an intelligence of 16. Gao Yang feels that this scepter is somewhat targeted at him.

"That shouldn't be the case. My original luck was increased by 5 points, and when I was in the Holy Gold Continent, my luck increased by another 3 points. Even if my own luck attribute is just an average level, with the blessing of points of luck, my luck will not be low.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have given me equipment that's completely useless to me."

Gao Yang looked at the golden scepter in his hand and began to doubt his luck.

With a skeptical attitude, he put down the scepter and picked up Higgins's obsession treasure chest.

"Higgins, you are the monarch of a country after all. You can't make something rubbish."

Gao Yang weighed the treasure chest in his hand, took a deep breath, and opened it.

The dazzling golden light almost blinded Gao Yang's eyes. Only when the light faded away could Gao Yang see clearly what was in his hand.

A seemingly ordinary gem the size of a longan, which seemed to be formed by compressed and condensed flames, lay quietly in the palm of his hand.

"This is?"

Gao Yang moved a little closer, and the information from the comprehensive network appeared in front of him in a timely manner.

Obsession Crystal Core
Quality: Gold Type: Gem

Durability: 30/30
Description: A crystal of obsession, tainted with boiling will, is transformed into a visible and tangible crystal core through the intervention of the will of a dying plane, thereby exerting unspeakable power.

Special effect: After activating this gem, the user will undergo a "boiling test" lasting thirty minutes. During the test, the user's will will fall into a continuous boiling state. The more thorough the boiling state, the greater the increase in willpower after the test.

(Boiling state: Forces the will to boil. In this state, the user's sanity will slowly decrease. When the sanity value falls below the threshold, the user's will is likely to "fall".)
A treasure that can enhance willpower!
Gao Yang couldn't help but clench the flame gem in his hand. Willpower is extremely important to everyone, and for Gao Yang, willpower can directly improve his combat effectiveness and survivability.

However, the formation of this gem is also very interesting. According to the description of the obsession crystal core, Higgins' obsession should have dissipated with his death, and that huge soul will would also be harvested by the "boiling" existence.

However, the will of the Holy Gold Plane did not allow the "boiling" to happen as it wished, but intercepted it and eventually formed this crystal core of obsession.

Using this obsession crystal core, as long as it is successful, you can greatly enhance your willpower.

This has a fatal attraction for Gao Yang.

However, he did not use it rashly.

Although success can greatly improve willpower, there is a prerequisite, which is "success."

The boiling state is not a harmless thing. It will force one's own will to boil. In other words, in this process, it will inevitably receive the attention of "boiling".

Once sanity falls below the threshold, forget about any benefits, even one's own soul and will will probably be harvested by "boiling".

Just look at what happened to Higgins to see what the outcome would be.

Therefore, Gao Yang did not use it directly, but put it solemnly into his backpack.

Now, he has just finished a battle, and both his body and mind are not in the best condition. He needs to adjust himself. He will only use it when his body and mind are back to their peak.

Anyway, there is still some time before arriving at Sodris, and this time should be enough for him to recover to his peak condition.

After all, willpower can be improved slowly, but you only have one life.

Although Zongwang is a game, unfortunately, Gao Yang does not have resurrection coins.

After opening the two treasure chests, Gao Yang didn't worry about it anymore and fell asleep directly.

In the next few days, the Yongyao Knights rushed towards the western center of Sodris.

The Boiling Kingdom has been completely destroyed. As the Netherworld Evil Tree Clan that is most restrained by the Boiling Kingdom, if we don't strike directly at the enemy before they can react and completely destroy the entire Netherworld Evil Tree Clan, we will be in trouble.

Then, when the Netherworld Evil Tree clan reacts and starts to reproduce crazily, let alone the Yongyao Knights with a mere 6,000 people, even if the number of people tripled, they still would not be able to break through the Netherworld Evil Tree's defense line.

Not every Eternal Knight is a son of the plane like Yegrit, and not every Eternal Knight has an immortal will like Gao Yang.

Faced with the ocean-like Netherworld Evil Tree, their most likely outcome would be to die of exhaustion and then become nutrients for the Netherworld Evil Tree's growth and reproduction.

Because they were worried that the Netherworld Evil Tree would notice the abnormality after the fall of the Boiling Nation, the Yongyao Knights were traveling frantically except for the most necessary rest time.

It is also worth mentioning here that the number of the Yongyao Knights has decreased, but the number of mounts has increased, so with the spare mounts, the marching speed has increased again.

The journey that would have taken fifteen days of full-scale travel was completed in just twelve days, reaching the edge of Sodris.

Along the way, all the members of the Yongyao Knights have lost their former glory. They all look dusty and their spirits are a little depressed.

Many apprentice knights looked pale because of the high-intensity journey.

It’s not that they are too weak, but the journey for twelve days is really too torturous.

Even Gao Yang found it difficult to accept the situation of killing enemies and traveling during the day, and killing enemies and traveling at night, with only time to rest in between.

After twelve days of traveling, let alone recovering to his best condition, the fact that he was able to maintain 80% of his physical and mental strength at its peak was already a result of his strong strength.

After clearing out the Netherworld Evil Tree here, the Yongyao Knights began to quickly set up camp, while Gao Yang and Yegrit and other decision makers of the Yongyao Knights came to the largest tent.

Malz had some serious bags under his eyes. He stood up, looked around, and began to speak, "We are only a hundred kilometers away from Sodris now. We have killed approximately 230,000 Netherworld Evil Trees along the way.

Moreover, during this process, according to the observations of the knights under his command, these Netherworld Evil Trees have begun to reproduce, and young Netherworld Evil Trees have appeared in many places.

Based on the growth rate of the juvenile form, it can be determined that the Nether Mother Tree must have received the news on the seventh day after the fall of the Boiling Nation, which was five days ago."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

It's only five days, which is acceptable.

In five days, no matter how powerful the Netherworld Mother Tree is, it cannot create an army of Netherworld Evil Trees out of thin air. At most, a part of the Netherworld Evil Trees will be added in Sodris, which will not have much impact on the overall battle situation.

After Malz and the others digested the news, he continued, "After twelve days of continuous raids, our condition isn't very good, so tonight is our final rest and adjustment time. Tomorrow, we will charge directly into Sodris and slay the Nether Mother Tree.

Only by destroying the Netherworld Mother Tree can the Netherworld Evil Tree clan be completely wiped out."

After Malz finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Yegrit.

Yegrit nodded slightly, then made the final decision: "Let's follow your arrangements, Maltz. Adjust the night watch team tonight and try to ensure that everyone gets enough rest."

Malz nodded immediately. In fact, before the Yongyao Knights set up camp, he had already arranged for the first group of knights on night watch to go and rest.

By the time they officially rest, the first group of Night Watch Knights should have almost rested.

By the time the second group of Night Watch Knights wake up, the first group of Night Watch Knights can continue to rest, and there is more than enough time.

"Do you want to check on Sodris's situation?" Johnson stood up and asked after Malz finished speaking.

Everyone looked at Yegrit, who in turn looked at Malz. Malz paused before expressing his own judgment: "The Nether Mother Tree should have known of our arrival, and perhaps it has already made preparations for battle.

It's almost nightfall, and heading towards Sodris now might lead to us falling into a trap it has set. Let's wait until tomorrow morning before setting off and send out scouts along the way."

Johnson sat down in silence. This way, he only had to keep watch tonight.
