Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

Lin You raised an eyebrow and continued to stare, as his Eye of Insight provided even more information.

[Additional Information: The inner world contains altars of many gods, whose factions can be divided into three categories: "Good Gods," "Evil Gods," and "Ancient Gods."]

[The Altar of the True God: Rewards can be obtained by offering specific items or completing trials. Rewards are mostly blessings, buffs, or items.]

[Evil God Altar: Usually requires the sacrifice of life or soul, with powerful rewards but accompanied by curses or corruption; long-term use will lead to irreversible negative effects]

[Ancient God Altar: Complex rules, random rewards, extremely high risks; not recommended for ordinary players to approach]

The current altar belongs to the "God of Slaughter," which is a righteous god, so you can challenge it with confidence.

Lin You breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not an evil god.

He stood up and walked around the altar to make sure there were no hidden enemies or traps nearby.

The area where the altar is located is about the size of a basketball court, with a flat surface and a wide view.

If he were to fight monsters here, he would have ample space to maneuver and move around.

"Are you ready?"

Lin You glanced at Yan Ling and Vivian.

Flame Spirit jumped down from his arms and arched her body.

Flames blazed on its tail, and its eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"Meow!"

Vivian then flew to the top of the minecart to watch the battle from a distance.

"Let's begin."

Lin You took a deep breath and walked to the center of the altar.

The runes on the altar's surface sensed his presence, and their dark red light gradually brightened.

He reached out and slowly channeled the magic power within him into the altar.

hum-

The altar trembled violently, and a dark red light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire subsurface.

The runes carved into the ground seemed to come alive, constantly moving along the edge of the altar.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the faint sounds of war drums, shouts, and the clanging of metal could be heard.

……

You have activated the altar of the "God of Slaughter"!

The trial is about to begin!

【Rules Explanation:】

【①: The trial consists of 3 waves, with the number of monsters increasing in each wave. There are no rewards for killing the monsters summoned during the trial】

【②: Defeating monsters within the altar area will grant you "Tribute Points"】

【③: You cannot leave the altar area during the trial; leaving will result in failure】

【④: After the trial ends, you can exchange your offering points for rewards. Your offering points will be cleared when you leave the altar】

The first wave of monsters will arrive in 10 seconds.

……

Lin You gripped his iron sword and summoned twenty skeleton soldiers and ten zombies from the Magic Card Encyclopedia.

Thirty summoned creatures lined up around the altar, forming a tight defensive line.

10, 9, 8, 7...

The moment the countdown reached zero, the dark red ball of light exploded!

Dozens of blood-red figures fell from the ball of light.

It crashed onto the stone slab of the altar with a dull thud.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Lin You could see the true faces of those figures.

Miniature Scarlet Slime

[Level: 5]

【Life: 120/120】

[Skill: Gel Leap, Corrosive Pus]

[Weakness: Takes 50% more holy damage]

Lin You's pupils contracted slightly.

Level 5 monster!

This is just the first wave!

Without hesitation, Lin You immediately issued commands to the summoned creature.

"Zombies hold the line in the front, skeleton soldiers flank from the left and right!"

Flame Spirit burst forth from his feet, transforming into a blazing afterimage as it passed through the assembled enemies.

-75! -77! -71!

A long string of damage numbers floated up, a truly spectacular sight.

After several days of battle, Flame Spirit's level has also increased to level 6.

Not only did its attributes increase significantly, but it also learned a new skill.

Flame Shadow Charge!

Lin You was not idle either.

He gripped the iron sword tightly, magic surged into the blade, and seven-colored elemental radiance burst forth from it.

Elemental Strike - Consumes 100 mana!

This time, the random element is fire!

[The "Elemental Strike" skill consumes more than 50 mana points, triggering "Flame Blast"!]

A ring of blazing red fire rapidly expanded from beneath Lin You's feet.

In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire altar area.

Then, accompanied by a low roar, a towering wave of flames erupted from the ground!

boom!

[First wave of trials complete!]

You have gained 100 tribute points.

Lin You took a breath and glanced at the edge of the altar.

There is no rest time.

The countdown reappeared.

10, 9, 8...

The second wave of monsters has arrived.

This time the quantity is greater than the first wave, and the variety has also increased.

In addition to the Crimson Slime, there is now a new monster!

……

Young Scarlet Hound

[Level: 6]

【Life: 90/90】

[Skill: Tearful Pounce, Blood Tracking]

Weakness: None

……

Although the Scarlet Hound's health points are less than three digits.

But Lin You did not underestimate it because of this.

On the contrary, he keenly sensed that these scarlet hounds were the most threatening enemy!

They moved incredibly fast, like red lightning flashing across the altar.

Several gaps were breached in the summoned creature defenses, and several Bloodclaw Hounds charged straight at him.

"court death!"

Instead of retreating, Lin You advanced, the gel beneath her feet surging, her body springing up like a spring, and she leaped over the head of the hunting dog.

In mid-air, he unleashed his elemental strike once more.

This time it's the ice element!

The frigid ice rings burst open the moment they landed, freezing several Bloodclaw Hounds into ice sculptures.

The second trial was passed without major incident.

[Second wave of trials complete!]

You have gained 150 tribute points.

Total of 250 points.

But Lin You did not relax.

The third and final wave.

The moment the countdown reached zero, a dark red orb of light almost covered half of the altar.

boom!

A gigantic figure, far exceeding the size of a normal scarlet slime, fell from the ball of light.

It slammed hard onto the altar, causing the ground to tremble.

……

[Large Scarlet Slime]

[Level: 8 (Elite)]

【Life: 500/500】

[Defense: 20]

[Skills: Gel Leap, Crimson Storm]

Weakness: None

……

Elite monster!

Lin You took a deep breath, a look of seriousness flashing in her eyes.

But soon, that solemnity was replaced by fighting spirit.

"Flame Spirit, attack with me!"

"Meow!"

The summoned creatures swarmed forward, surrounding the Crimson Overlord.

However, elite monsters are far stronger than ordinary monsters.

Corrosive red pus flew everywhere.

A single crimson storm blasted away all the skeleton soldiers in the front row.

Lin You seized the brief moment of vulnerability after the enemy unleashed their skill and charged in from the side.

The intense flames burned on the blade, triggering another explosion!

Elemental Strike!

-105!

The Crimson Commander let out a roar, his body twisting violently.

Flame Spirit seized the opportunity to jump onto its head, and the flames on its tail burned even brighter than before.

Flaming Tail Whip - A Powerful Strike!

-52!

The Crimson Overlord's health points plummeted.

But its counterattack was also exceptionally fierce, with a torrent of blood gushing out and engulfing all the summoned creatures around it.

Several zombies were splashed with the corrosive liquid, their health points rapidly depleted, and they quickly turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Lin You was also splashed with some water, and a burning pain came from her left arm.

[Health Points -25]

"We can't delay."

Lin You gritted her teeth and launched an attack despite the loss of health points.

This was not rashness or recklessness... but rather that he could see it clearly.

The enemy's lives are numbered!

"Now!"

Lin You unleashed his elemental strike once more, pouring out his magic power.

-120!

The giant scarlet slime's health has finally reached zero.

The bloated body crashed to the ground, turning into dark red specks of light and dissipating.

[The third wave of trials is complete!]

You have gained 250 tribute points.

[Cumulative Tribute Points: 500]

Lin You gasped for breath, feeling as if all the magic power in her body had been drained.

Flame Spirit lay at his feet, its furry belly heaving violently as it panted heavily.

This battle was quite costly.

But the harvest was equally bountiful.

The dark red light of the altar gradually faded, and the runes dimmed again.

Before Lin You, an interface radiating a blood-red light slowly appeared.

[Trial Shop]

Current tribute points: 500

The following items can be redeemed...

Lin You's gaze swept across the store list, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.
