Monster collectors on the cross-platform

"Damn it!" Realizing something was wrong, Huo Huan immediately activated the Blood Burning Technique. The pain of burning blood barely brought Huo Huan back to his senses.

He took out his high-frequency knife and gave himself a few hard blows. While he was still relatively conscious, Huo also unleashed a fiery dragon breath at the monster.

"Hiss!" The monster's hiss was tinged with pain, and Huo Huan clearly caught that pain.

Knowing that the dragon's breath was effective, Huo did not hesitate to unleash another burst of fiery dragon's breath.

"Screech!" The monster let out another sharp cry, but this time the sound was slightly different.

Huo felt as if a sharp dagger had been plunged into his head, and for a moment he couldn't even maintain his dragon breath.

Chapter 77 Black Equipment

In the midst of the chaos, Huo knew that things couldn't continue like this. The enemy's attacks were directly targeting Huo's mind and even soul, and the life energy within Huo's body couldn't repair the damage to his mind and soul.

In a daze, Huo instinctively mobilized the dragon breath within his body again, and the next second, a dark green flame dragon breath was spewed out by Huo.

In the chaos, Huo even managed to unleash both types of dragon breath simultaneously, and luckily they merged together.

The dark green dragon breath sliced ​​through the air and landed on the monster, instantly corroding its body and creating a huge wound.

The sizzling pain from the corrosion and burning caused the monster to let out a mournful cry, which immediately lessened the mental blow Huo had suffered.

After exhaling a breath of dragon fire, taking advantage of the monster's weakened attack, Huo immediately followed up with another breath of dragon fire.

The dark green flames of the dragon breath spewed out from Huo Huan's mouth again, landing on the monster and continuously corroding its writhing body.

"Sizzle, sizzle," the monster struggled incessantly, but the intense pain of corrosion and burning rendered it powerless to resist.

When the green flames dissipated, most of the monster's body had been corroded away, with only a small part of its body still lying on the ground twitching.

Huo shook his still slightly dizzy head, took out his staff from his spatial backpack, and used the remaining two fireballs for the day.

"Bang! Bang!" The fireballs slammed into the monster's mangled body, creating violent explosions, and flames began to burn on the monster's surface.

After burning for only a few seconds, the fire gradually subsided, as if it had been suppressed by some force.

Not daring to be careless, Huo took out an electromagnetic gun and a high-frequency magnetic storm grenade from his spatial backpack to attack the monster. Only after confirming that the monster was incapacitated did he cautiously approach it.

Huo stepped forward and looked at the writhing remains of the other man. A feeling of disgust welled up inside him. He dared not look any longer and raised his fists, slamming them several times at what appeared to be the man's head.

Perhaps the monster was already on the verge of death, because after Huo delivered a few more punches, the monster ceased to live.

[The dungeon clear conditions have been met; rewards are being calculated.]

The rewards you received from this dungeon run are: 500 General Coins, 700 Universal Experience, and Void Touch (Black)

The teleportation portal is now open; you can leave at any time before the instance ends.

Name: Void Touch (Black)

Type: Equipment

Weight: 100g

Effect: Corruption

Description: This is a tentacle crafted primarily from a Void Fusion Beast. Once equipped, it can easily corrupt those with weak wills, turning them into manipulated puppets. Even those with strong wills will succumb to prolonged corruption. (Warning: This is a cursed item; the wearer will also be corrupted, and prolonged use will lead to an irreversible transformation.)

Huo looked at the black tentacles twisting in his hand, then at the red warning popped up on the network, and knew that the equipment in front of him was not something he could control.

Huo retracted his tentacles and habitually began to contain the monster's corpse. With a flash of white light, the monster's corpse on the ground disappeared; it had indeed been contained by Huo.

Race Name: Void Fusion Beast

Description: A strange creature born in the void, it likes to devour anything that moves around it, and can also transfer a part of the devoured object to itself.

Traits: Void Bite, Void Touch

Void Devourer: As a creature that has been devouring since its birth, the Void Fusion Beast's sole interest is to continuously consume any moving object. Once equipped, the player gains the ability to devour any object while retaining some of the devoured object's abilities. (Warning: Devouring effects are irreversible and will permanently change the player's appearance after consumption.)

Void Touch: Void Fusion Beasts possess unique tentacle senses, capable of receiving information from the world. These tentacles also serve as organs for unleashing mental attacks. Once equipped, the player gains a tentacle, allowing them to release their mental power to attack enemies while continuously receiving truths from the world. (Warning: This trait carries a significant risk of mental contamination; the player's current strength is insufficient to handle such information.)

Two more scarlet warning messages appeared, and Huo realized that he had made a mistake in this dungeon run.

Not only did I almost die in the dungeon, but the rewards were also less than those from the Purgatory difficulty.

You have one more piece of unusable equipment and one more unusable collectible, but you lose two collectibles that you can sell for money.

No wonder most players don't challenge the Abyss difficulty; the risks are higher and the rewards might not even be as good as before, making it a thankless task.

Shaking his still somewhat dizzy head, Huo didn't want to stay any longer after finishing the dungeon, so he chose to exit.

After leaving the instance, Huo plopped down on a recliner in front of the door.

Although Huo Huan's mental abnormality was dispelled after leaving the instance, the repeated mental blows still left him feeling somewhat exhausted.

Lazily reclining on the lounge chair, Huo took out a water cup and tea leaves from his spatial backpack and brewed himself a cup of tea using the two traits of low-level water element affinity and hellfire.

The delicate aroma of tea wafted from the cup and was inhaled by Huo Huan. The power contained in the aroma invigorated Huo Huan, and his mental fatigue seemed to be dispelled.

Feeling the scorching sun, Huo lay back in his chair, occasionally sipping his hot tea. Before long, the morning had passed.

The habit he had developed over the days made Huo Huan's stomach rumble a loud reminder. He checked the time and realized it was indeed close to lunchtime.

Huo stretched and got up from the recliner, put away his water glass, and then turned and entered the online entertainment platform.

Stepping into his usual Hope Restaurant, Huo ordered a gourmet meal set meal for 100 Zongwang coins, as usual.

Before long, plates of food were placed in front of Huo Huan.

Looking at the food in front of him, Huo Huan unusually did not immediately start eating and drinking. His mental fatigue had not completely disappeared, making him still feel listless and unable to muster any energy.

"What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking today?" Seeing that Huo was not as usual, the proprietress immediately came over to ask. It was rare to have a regular customer who came every day, and she didn't want to accidentally drive him away.

"The food is fine, it's just my own fault." When asked by the landlady, Huo simply shook his head without explaining the specific reason.

Seeing this, the proprietress stopped asking questions and just kept observing from time to time, afraid of losing a regular customer.

Huo didn't seem to care much about this and leisurely ate the food on the table.

Not long after, the proprietress returned with a pot of wine.

"This is for you. Drink some if you're feeling down." The golden color rippled in the pot. Huo looked up at the proprietress in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

"Thanks." Huo didn't explain the landlady's misunderstanding. Although he didn't like drinking much, he would drink a little since it was the landlady's kindness.

When Huo thanked her, the proprietress waved her hand without saying anything more and went straight to the kitchen to cook for the new customer.

Chapter 78 Training

After finishing lunch, Huo looked at the golden wine in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then poured himself a glass.

The first thing you notice is the aroma of fruit, followed by a light sweetness. It has none of the bitterness of beer or the spiciness of baijiu, and you can't taste any alcohol at all.

"Could the proprietress have given me the wrong one?" With a hint of doubt, Huo finished the whole glass.

"It tastes good," Huo smacked his lips and poured himself another glass.

One cup after another, until Huo picked up the wine jug again and found that not a single drop of wine could be poured out, he suddenly realized that he had already drunk so much.

Putting down the wine jug, Huo stood up, leaning on the table, and staggered out of the restaurant.

After leaving the online platform and returning to the gravedigger's hut, Huo plopped down on the rocking chair in front of the door.

The scorching sun that might be too intense for ordinary people was just right for Huo Huan, who lay on the rocking chair, basking in the sun and falling soundly asleep.

When Huo woke up again, the sun had already set. That's the good thing about living in a remote area; no one will bother you.

Huo stretched leisurely, his daytime lethargy completely gone.

After sitting in the recliner for a while, Huo Huan got up and walked towards the small farmland he had cultivated. The Enlightenment Tree was still the same height, but the few seeds planted later were now almost as tall as Huo Huan.

Looking at these unfamiliar plants thriving in spring, Huo felt a sense of accomplishment; at least he hadn't wasted his life-giving water.

After confirming that the plants were all growing well, Huo strolled back to the cabin, slept all afternoon, and now, instead of feeling sleepy, he was a little unsure of what to do.

Huo thought for a moment, then took out his old AR glasses, which probably still contained some shows he hadn't finished watching.

Time quickly approached midnight, the time when the dungeon refreshed. Huo, who was wide awake, decided to use up both of his dungeon attempts. However, Huo did not plan to challenge the Abyss difficulty anytime soon.

Having become familiar with all the monsters, Huo quickly completed both dungeons. In addition to the usual in-game currency and experience, he also obtained a decent purple longbow.

However, Huo Huan did not know how to use bows and arrows, so this weapon was destined to be sold by Huo Huan.

Huo opened the dungeon list and looked at the dungeons that were on cooldown. He started to consider whether to switch to another one. The "Sunset Shipwreck" dungeon was not very suitable for him. It could only accommodate two monsters at most, and the level cap was only 7. He estimated that it would be phased out soon.

However, considering that the dungeon would be refreshed in a few days, Huo hesitated for a moment.

Shaking his head, Huo put the question of the dungeon aside for the time being. He also planned to go to the exhibition hall to see the two girls. It wouldn't do to keep them as specimens forever. Huo also guessed that once he reached a higher level, the two girls would probably not be confined to the exhibition hall.

With that thought in mind, Huo suddenly disappeared from the spot and entered the exhibition hall.

Upon returning to the exhibition hall, the largest number of artifacts still stood there. The only slight difference from the first visit was the addition of two more artifacts at the end of the queue.

There's not much to say about the Rhinoceros Star Beast, but the Void Fusion Beast, even after being contained, still looks like a hybrid of biological and mechanical beings, as if it was born that way.

Shifting his gaze from the Void Fusion Beast, Huo waved his hand and summoned the two little girls together.

After coming out this time, the two were noticeably more obedient. Iris looked resentful and stood obediently in place without moving, while Leticia looked unconvinced, but her eyes darted around and she dared not look directly at Huo Huan. What they had in common was that neither of them dared to speak first.

"Come here, demonstrate everything you know," Huo waved to the two of them, breaking the silence.

Etricis walked up to Huo Huan first and began chanting a spell.

As Etricia chanted, a blood-red magic circle began to appear on the exhibition hall floor beneath her feet, and blood-red phantoms began to emerge.

This was a summoning array that Huo had seen before. It could summon nearly a hundred elite soldiers who were almost immortal. The downside was that the individual soldiers were not very strong, and the summoning was slow and took quite a while.

"Continue," Huo commanded after seeing that Etris had finished summoning the soldiers.

Then, Iris showed Huo the shield made of blood, the sword made of blood, and the wings made of blood.

Is there anything else?

“That’s all,” Etricia shook her head, indicating that this was all the power she possessed. Of course, in addition to that, she also had her powerful vitality, but Huo already knew about that, and it wasn’t appropriate to show it off.

"Alright, it's your turn," Huo said, looking at Leticia.

Leticia walked forward hesitantly, her face full of reluctance.

"If you don't behave, I'll keep you locked in the dark room forever." Seeing that Leticia still dared to resist, Huo glared at her and issued an ultimatum.

Perhaps it was the intimidating words "little black room" that made Leticia abandon her dawdling and quickly demonstrate her abilities.
