The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

With such a big incident, Jiang Chen naturally had to come and see what was going on.

As soon as I arrived, I heard Salty Fish bragging loudly over there.

Looking at Lilith, who was standing to the side with a disbelieving expression, Jiang Chen roughly guessed what had happened.

"This situation seems a little bit bad."

Jiang Chen never expected that one of his players would be targeted by a god.

As for acquiring divine skills, based on his previous interactions, Jiang Chen was basically certain that the gods and such in this world were extremely evil.

You can't get anything out of them unless you give something in return.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen approaching, the players consciously made way for him.

Jiang Chen was speechless as he watched the salted fish still boasting.

"Alright, stop bragging and tell me in detail what actually happened?"

Jiang Chen needs to find out what's going on right now.

This is a very serious matter.

Being pulled into that special space wasn't really a big deal.

Because in that space, the god could not cause him any harm, but it was completely different for the salted fish. He was directly pulled into a space that was like an independent space, and even his main body went there.

What this means is obvious.

If Rose had that ability, what if I got dragged into it? I'd be dead for sure.

After all, he hadn't held back at all when he was cursing that guy before; he'd curse at anything and everything.

If you really get dragged in, it would be strange if the spider would let you go.

"Chief, what I just said is true."

"Chief, you have no idea, that god was awestruck when he saw me."

As they were talking, Xianyu noticed the way Jiang Chen looked at him like he was a clown.

His eyes were full of disdain.

But soon, the salted fish figured it out.

"Oops, I forgot this thing is an NPC."

As he spoke, Salty Fish cautiously glanced around, noticing that the group of players were also curious about what he and the NPC were going to talk about.

So Xianyu pulled Jiang Chen aside and lowered his voice.

"Chief, don't be like that, I was just showing off over there."

Jiang Chen was speechless. "So what exactly happened?"

Upon hearing this, Salty Fish looked around to make sure no other players were coming, then lowered his voice.

"Chief, it's actually like this. I'll tell you, that god is very wicked. He actually wanted to..."

Then, the salted fish recounted everything that had just happened.

"So, for a period of time you were... offline... uh... unconscious, and then when you woke up you were kicked out by him."

The salted fish nodded in agreement.

"I don't know what happened during that time, but after I was kicked out, I found that I had gained a few more skills."

"But Chief, these skills are truly amazing..."

Seeing that the salted fish was about to launch into another long-winded explanation, Jiang Chen casually made up an excuse to send him away and then began to ponder.

"In other words, the salted fish was pulled into the space because of that little skeleton, or rather, the god used that little skeleton as a medium."

"Does this mean that if I encounter a follower of that giant spider, she can use that as a medium to pull me in?"

"How far are they pulling us in? Can we resist?"

Thinking about this, Jiang Chen also had a headache. He hadn't gotten any important information from the salted fish.

However, this incident also served as a wake-up call for Jiang Chen, especially since the skill that the salted fish acquired allowed it to know the location of other believers in the same god and to communicate with them.

"In other words, this is how gods give instructions to their followers."

Jiang Chen remembered what Lilith had said before.

His own wanted posters are probably already plastered all over the place.

"It seems that was the right decision."

"I'm getting numb. This is getting more and more complicated."

Thinking about this, Jiang Chen also felt a headache coming on.

To be honest, Jiang Chen has encountered quite a few things recently.

Even without mentioning that Viktor must have used some special ability to transmit some information before he died, Jiang Chen could guess the gist of what that information was without even thinking about it.

Even after removing the stains, there are still stains left.

Immediately following this, they found themselves being targeted by two gods, which was definitely not a good thing.

The salted fish has most likely gone offline, which should cause that god to misjudge the situation. However, our side is genuinely attacking head-on, and there's no escaping that.

"That means there's at least one god with whom I have become hostile."

"Besides that, the biggest enemies are probably Lilith's childhood friend and sister, both from the succubus race."

"We're definitely not going to escape responsibility for killing Viktor. The only question is what Lilith's relationship with his father is like, and whether her father is willing to suppress this matter."

The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more of a headache he got.

In his current situation, he has absolutely no power to resist either the succubus race or the gods.

Their only advantage is that they are now deep inside the underground city, and they can only send elite-level combatants to sneak over one by one.

"But we at least have a giant dragon on our side, so we're not afraid of elite-level combat power."

However, thinking about Moses' previous performance, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"We can't count on this thing anytime soon."

There is another matter besides that.

Not long ago, that battle gave me a lot of experience. In addition, after the war ended, the players went to clear out the monsters in the surrounding area. After all that, my experience is now basically maxed out.

This means that Jiang Chen's side can evolve to the next stage.

The problem is that he can't evolve at all right now.

Other materials are easy to obtain, because this evolution only requires materials from the fifth tier.

As before, it's nothing more than some magic cores, or materials from monsters of rank 5 or higher.

All the materials that dropped in the area where I was were of rank six or higher; I had already collected enough after that battle.

The problem lies in the last item of material.

[Special Type Essence]

"What exactly is this market fair?"

Jiang Chen felt a headache coming on.

Jiang Chen was very clear about the reason why this material had suddenly been added to the advanced level.

It's definitely related to that artifact emblem merging into his body, which greatly enhanced his attributes.

From Jiang Chen's perspective alone, this is indeed a good thing, as his own strength has improved significantly.

The problem is that Jiang Chen knows very well that if he really wants to get out of the underground city, it is unrealistic to rely on his own strength alone.

It requires improving the overall strength of the players, but if one cannot advance on their own side, then the improvement of the overall strength of the players will be completely blocked.

"Oh right, I forgot the most important thing. Lilith should know something."

Jiang Chen suddenly remembered another thing he had come here for. That's right, it was to ask Lilith if she knew anything about that special kind of essence.
