Scourge Messenger

Chapter 166 Natural Disasters and Karma (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Prajna did not waste the Medicine Buddha's painstaking efforts, and seized the opportunity to unleash a torrential rain, his staff pouring into the skull tower like a golden river!

Under Yan Qing's watchful gaze, the Skull Tower's health didn't drop much, but its karma decreased rapidly. At the same time, the lotus platform beneath the Skull Tower was also rapidly expanding and solidifying! What was originally just an illusory three-leaf lotus platform had transformed into a nine-leaf golden lotus platform after the rainstorm ended!
The skull tower rattled and clattered, sounding like both a mournful wail and a malicious mockery. In Prajna's almost desperate gaze, the golden wound on the skull tower, which should have been incurable, began to heal inch by inch!

Upon noticing this, Bei You and Xue Xiang's expressions darkened. If the Nine-Leaf Lotus Platform could even heal Jin Guang's injuries, then they had absolutely no hope of breaking through to the front hall.

The pharmacist was even prepared for the worst. If they turned their anger on her side, she would have no choice but to find a way to lead Wu Qiu and Shi Dong out of the Shu Road Mountains.

However, at that moment, Bunny Girl struck the Skull Tower with her sword.

"Hurry up and chop! What are you standing there for, you bald monk?!" she shouted. "Didn't you notice we can also create golden light when we chop? You guys hold them off!"

Prajna suddenly awoke from his dream and quickly swung his staff at the skull pagoda, leaving a faint golden light on it.

"Prime Minister Fu, how could you be so rebellious, murdering your master and killing your friend!"

"Prime Minister Fu, the righteous path of the world will not let you get away with this!"

"Prime Minister Fu, how dare you cause trouble here!"

"Minister Fu, stop! You can't kill me!"

Dozens of skulls in the Skull Tower screamed and roared simultaneously, as if the Buddhist relics of the Bunny Girl and Prajna had reminded them of the scenes from the past. Under Yan Qing's gaze, the Skull Tower's maximum health continued to decrease, but at the same time, its karma was rapidly increasing.

Based on Yan Qing's extensive experience with single-player Brahman mode, the Skull Tower should currently be in a state similar to 'defense breach'. All damage from Buddhist artifacts will reduce its maximum health, and even the Lotus Platform's terrifying regeneration ability is useless. However, once the karma is fully restored, the Skull Tower will regain its health, and given the Nine-Leaf Lotus Platform's regeneration ability, it will likely be able to fully restore its health.

If they don't break through the Skull Tower now, next time they'll not only have to reduce their karma to 0 again, but they'll also have to deal with a fully healed Skull Tower!

The screams and roars from the Skull Tower also changed the zombies' and demons' aggression. They abandoned the enemies in front of them and all rushed towards Prajna and the Bunny Girl. Even though the others tried to stop them, Prajna still took several hits, and her defensive token was on the verge of collapse. The Bunny Girl, on the other hand, was unharmed. Her ability to fight and dodge at the same time was no problem for Yan Qing.

头骨塔的业力值恢复到80、85、90、95、98——

"Prime Minister Fu, I curse you to never be reincarnated!"

With a venomous curse, the lotus platform of the Skull Tower completely crumbled, shattering into countless fragments of bone. The remaining six zombie demons froze, gradually turning into a handful of yellow dust, merging into the earth.

Two glowing loot items dropped from the original location of the Skull Tower. After confirming that everyone else had ignored them, Bunny Girl went over and picked them up openly.

"You have freed a criminal from the deepest abyss."

"Based on your level and contributions, you have absorbed 1 point of natural disaster karma. Click to view details."

"You have triggered a natural disaster milestone!"

"You have mastered the secret technique 'Left Curve, Right Return,' and your current level is 5."

"Your HP increases by 3.2"

"Your spirit level has increased by 2.4."

"Your dexterity increases by 3.2."

"You've reached level 24!" This alt account finally mastered the secret technique, and leveled up by 5 levels in one go, even the Bunny Girl character leveled up 4 levels along with it. Sure enough, the experience gained from fighting demons is much more than from killing people.

The five men stood in the empty front hall, the sounds of fighting completely subsided, and remained in shock for a long time.

puff!

The sound of bursting water pipes kept coming from Prajna's body. When the bunny girl turned her head, he was already kneeling on the ground, blood gushing from his body, and all the exposed muscles had obvious tears. He looked as if he had been torn apart like a chicken.

Bei You and Xue Xiang were unfazed. Banruo took out a blood-replenishing pill and explained with a wry smile, "It's an old ailment. This humble monk can only use Rainstorm three times a day at most, and it always tears my muscles. Fortunately, my internal organs are fine. I heard that Benefactor Rabbit has used Rainstorm almost ten times today, but his body is unaffected. This humble monk is truly incomparable."

No wonder Prajna said this was the last attempt tonight; it turns out that after this, he would completely lose his fighting ability.

Yan Qing's heart stirred. It seemed that what Bei You said was true. They were indeed very good friends. Banruo dared to expose his weakness in front of the two people who had stormed up the mountain today, which must be because he believed that Bei You and Xue Xiang would protect him.

When Yan Qing came to her senses, she saw the pharmacist anxiously squatting in front of the bunny girl.

"Little sister, are you alright? Here, have a blood-replenishing pill."

The pharmacist had heard of the Rain Messenger's peculiarities before, but hadn't investigated much. Besides, Bunny Girl had never shown any weakness, so she naturally didn't take it seriously. But even someone like the three great protectors, Prajna, could only use Rain Messenger three times a day, which showed how severe the damage Rain Messenger inflicted on the body was.

"No need," the bunny girl declined. "The downpour has no effect on me."

"How can you be sure? What if it's an internal injury?"

"That's what my brother said. He said I have a body capable of slaying people, one in ten thousand, and possess supreme bones. How could a mere downpour possibly harm me in the slightest?"

"Your brother is an idiot."

Suddenly, Xue Xiang covered his face and burst into laughter, laughing hysterically and uncontrollably.

"Finally, we've broken through the front hall! There's finally hope!" he roared. "Prajna, I knew I was right! We should have used Buddhist relics long ago!"

"Hey, hey, hey, old man, have you no shame? I was the one who suggested it first," Bunny Girl said unhappily. "And now you're trying to glorify yourself?"

Blood Prime Minister cursed, "Bullshit! I've thought this for ten years! You brat, you just happened to be there! Even without you, we could have broken through to the front hall!"

The bunny girl said sarcastically, "Then why didn't you do it before? Was it because you didn't want to?"

The pharmacist sat on the ground, holding the Soul-Severing Spear, absorbing the spirit jade to restore her spiritual power. She felt as if she had returned to the military town to conquer the secret realm. During the breaks in the battle, she would joke and banter with the soldiers. The differences in status and position were blurred to the point of being almost transparent in the secret realm. Everyone's first impression of each other was that of teammates who had fought side by side.

That's how she was able to escape from the military town... Even though the commander received advance notice and sealed off the town, the Embroidered Uniform Guard's message was still relayed to Yao Shiyuan through his teammates. Faced with the supreme imperial power, these powerful and wealthy individuals dared not betray him and could only try their best to facilitate Yao Shiyuan's escape.

The secret realm is such a magical place, bringing together many different people into a community that recognizes each other.

"Hey." Bei You suddenly called out as he walked to the front courtyard gate:
"I think I've spotted a treasure chest."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, including that of the pharmacist.

Any collective outcome leads to division.
