Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

Xiao Yu checked the latest skills.

[Immovable Mountain Mantra], a purple skill... Consumes 15 points of spirit power. You can increase the defense effect of all equipment of any unit by 30% for 600 seconds, increase spirit resistance by 20, and increase protective power by 10... Current skill level 1, maximum skill level 9, consumes 500 spirit energy to upgrade.

The Mountain Curse effect is divided into three parts.

The first part is to improve the durability of the equipment.

For example, a shield has a base defense of 20 points. When you have the Immovable Mountain Mantra, your defense will increase by at least 5 points in a short period of time.

The better the equipment.

The greater the increase.

This ability is extremely valuable.

Moreover, it increases mental resistance and physical protection!

Mental resistance refers to the ability to resist all abnormal mental states, such as dizziness, coma, madness, hallucinations, and loss of control.

There are very few resistance-enhancing items available in the early game.

20 fixed attribute points is very high.

This is enough to give Xiao Yu a great ability to resist mental interference and control of the same level.

10 points of Protective Power is equivalent to 10 points of Damage Reduction, which will undoubtedly provide a significant boost.

The vast majority of skills.

Their effects are all affected by cultivation level.

For every level Xiao Yu gains in cultivation, he can consume 2 more points of mental energy to activate his skill, thereby increasing his protective power by 1 point and his equipment defense by 1%!

You have entered the "Hall of Lamentation"!

After the four passed through a bronze palace gate engraved with intertwined branches and caged bird patterns, they officially arrived at the final mini-boss challenge area of ​​the dungeon.

The style here is completely different from the previous two eerie or disgusting ones. It doesn't even look like a side hall of a mausoleum. It's more like a grand wedding room frozen in time.

However, the exquisite red candles and brocade decorations have weathered away, the lavish ceremonial objects and mirrors are covered with cobwebs, and the lacquered red pillars and the floor are seeping blood, creating a jarring and incongruous scene.

At this time.

A mournful sigh rang out.

A figure appeared in mid-air.

She wore a dark crimson wedding dress, the magnificent garment weathered and tattered with gold threads falling off, wrapping around a semi-transparent spirit like a shroud.

Her red veil clung tightly to her head like a living thing, with only a hole for her eyes, but inside the hole was bottomless darkness.

【Queen Meng Ying】, Level 3 Rare Elite, 350 HP... Brief Introduction: Daughter of Duke Ai of Qin, husband of King Ping of Chu, and mother of King Zhao of Chu, she was corrupted by deep-sea pollution.

Lu Dahai: "It's here!"

Jiang Xiaxia asked nervously and curiously, "Is this Meng Ying, the daughter-in-law who was taken away by King Ping of Chu? She was also a tragic figure; I never expected her to become a wicked person as well."

Meng Ying was not only the Queen and Queen Dowager of Chu.

She was still a princess of the Qin state.

She is said to be exceptionally beautiful, unparalleled in the country.

At that time, Qin and Chu were preparing to unite to counterbalance the state of Jin, and Meng Ying was used as a tool for the alliance to marry the crown prince of Chu.

however.

After King Ping of Chu learned of Meng Ying's beauty, he directly took his daughter-in-law as his own. Fearing that the crown prince would harbor resentment, he sent the crown prince away and prepared to harm him.

When Fei Wuji falsely accused the crown prince of treason in order to eliminate dissidents, King Ping of Chu immediately used this as a pretext to order the execution of the entire family of Wu She, the crown prince's tutor, as well as the crown prince Jian.

Crown Prince Jian fled with Wu Zixu.

He eventually died in the turmoil of the state of Zheng.

King Ping of Chu coveted his daughter-in-law's beauty and, disregarding public opinion and political risks, forcibly took her for himself. He even forced the crown prince to his death, indirectly causing the Wu family to be nearly wiped out.

This move is truly astounding, even by historical standards!

"The Chosen One..."

"How dare you disturb my eternal rest!"

Meng Ying was floating in mid-air at this moment, and an extremely sad and resentful aura enveloped the hall.

Jiang Xiaxia cried out, "You are dead, please rest in peace, and do not aid and abet evil."

"Aiding and abetting evil?"

A mournful cry, sounding like both crying and laughing, rang out.

"Born in Qin, trapped in Chu, I have no way out in my life. Rather than be a pawn my whole life, I'd rather shatter this chessboard completely!"

A broken seven-stringed zither appeared in Meng Ying's hand: "Lord Wu Zixu will lead us back to the great deep sea, and all those who stand in our way will be destroyed!"

"it's useless."

Xiao Yu explained: "Regardless of one's personality in life, once one becomes corrupted, one becomes either completely blind and foolish, extremely crazy and chaotic, or extremely worshipful of the deep sea, with almost no possibility of peaceful communication."

Meng Ying suddenly began to pluck the strings of the guqin.

A nearly transparent wave of energy emanated from the guqin and enveloped the people present at an extremely fast speed.

"Be careful!"

Zhao Gang instinctively stepped forward.

Activate the Holy Shield immediately to defend.

result.

Something completely unexpected happened.

The Holy Shield, which could withstand almost any attack along the way and could also greatly buffer against any attack it couldn't, was completely rendered ineffective!

The energy released by Meng Ying passed through the giant shield without any hindrance and instantly enveloped Zhao Gang, causing him to feel a sharp pain in his brain as if countless sharp, mournful cries echoed.

-22!

Zhao Gang let out a scream.

The Holy Shield crumbled instantly.

The aftershocks of this force not only injured Zhao Gang, but also affected the other three, who were impacted to varying degrees and even experienced brief dizziness.

"What's going on? Why can't I stop it!" Zhao Gang clearly couldn't believe his defenses had failed.

Xiao Yu: "This is not a normal attack, but a mental attack. The Holy Shield cannot withstand mental damage."

Zhao Gang's expression changed drastically.

It seems we're being countered by the BOSS.

"Why bother protecting this cage? Only the deep sea can cleanse this filthy world. In the end, you are nothing but pawns of Heaven's will!"

Meng Ying let out a shrill, mournful cry.

Countless crimson ropes appeared out of thin air on the four people and their accompanying heroic spirits. These ropes suddenly contracted, binding them to their spot.

This is a skill called "Red Thread of Resentment".

Although it appears to have a physical form, it is actually a mental skill.

If one's mental resistance is not high enough, no matter how strong one is, one cannot break free and will be unable to move, becoming helpless and at the mercy of others.

"not good!"

"I can't move!"

"What kind of skill is that? It's terrifying!"

Meng Ying plucked the zither again, and spiritual energy emanated with the sound waves, transforming into countless faintly visible large swords that slashed towards the group.

"Oops!"

Zhao Gang, Lu Dahai, and Jiang Xiaoxia all changed their expressions drastically. At this moment, they were completely powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as the attack came towards them.

almost.

Xiao Yu cast the "Immovable as a Mountain Mantra," the "Aggressive as Fire Mantra," and the "Swift as the Wind Mantra" on himself, instantly breaking free from the restraints.

-0!

-0!

Several spiritual blades struck his body.

Xiao Yu withstood the attack thanks to his strong mental resistance and protective power.

"This... is impossible!"

Meng Ying was surprised that someone could block her attack so easily. She quickly pushed back and summoned several vengeful palace maids.

Xiao Yu passed through the oncoming vengeful spirits, his speed so great that they couldn't react in time.

He dodged in a flash.

Using the stone pillars in the main hall as leverage, Xiao Yu instantly appeared in front of Meng Ying and swung the Corpse-Beating Whip at an extremely fast speed.

boom!

Although Meng Ying is in spirit form and has high physical damage immunity, the Corpse Whip is enhanced with a fire curse, so most of the damage is converted into fire damage.

A scream.

Meng Ying's body was engulfed in flames as she slammed into the ground from mid-air. She released her resentful red threads once more in an attempt to bind Xiao Yu.

no effect.

Xiao Yu easily broke free from his restraints.

-56!

-49!

-52!

……

Each time Xiao Yu's attack caused damage, the ring he wore would glow faintly, the Ring of Greed taking effect, constantly drawing spiritual energy.

When mental strength has recovered to some extent.

Meng Ying's health bar has been reduced to less than half.

Xiao Yu immediately activated "Soul Summoning," and black evil energy surged from the surface of the Corpse-Beating Whip before striking Meng Ying's spirit body.

-302 (Soul Critical Strike!)

Meng Ying is in spirit form. Although she has strong immunity to physical damage, she is more susceptible to critical hits when facing soul attacks because she does not have a physical body to rely on.

It turned to ashes in an instant.

[The chosen one "Xiao Yu" has achieved the first kill against the historically corrupt "Elegy Queen Meng Ying," gaining 25 points of world luck!]

The last mini-boss has been defeated!
