186: Chapter 186 Styx Set
Inside the stone cave.
In a fire pit about three meters in diameter, the black stone was constantly changing its form.
Sweat was constantly seeping from Jiang He's forehead.
Thump—he plopped down onto the ground, his face deathly pale, and shouted in a low voice:
"I can't do it anymore, Old Gu, you take over. I'm a bit anemic!"
Gu Tian nodded, stepped forward, and sliced his palm open.
Drops of essence blood sprinkled into the fire pit.
Originally, Jiang He thought he would be needed for some major task...
But it turned out he was just dragged here to be a "blood cow"?
Boo hoo... in the end, he still couldn't escape this fate.
Because forging equipment with black stone requires the essence blood of a Holy Spirit Priest to be completed.
When the first styx fang was crafted, it had already cost Gu Tian a massive amount of essence blood.
And this time, he was aiming to complete an entire set of equipment.
He couldn't possibly finish it alone.
Fortunately, Jiang He shared the same Priest class as him and could help out.
Gulp, gulp—Jiang He picked up the god-tier red potion and chugged two bottles before he felt slightly better.
In reality, in the virtual world, blood loss doesn't actually cause physical problems.
But watching his own blood drain away bit by bit made him feel psychologically uncomfortable.
Even his pale complexion was probably just from scaring himself.
Time flew by, and seven whole days passed.
Jiang He lay on the ground, motionless.
At this moment, he felt weak all over and finally understood why Delos and the others wanted to die so much.
He was already at his limit after just seven days.
They had endured for over twenty thousand years.
Boom—a series of explosions suddenly came from the fire pit.
It startled Jiang He so much that he sat bolt upright.
"Holy crap, Old Gu, is this thing about to explode?"
Gu Tian stared intently at the fire pit, his eyes filled with excitement, his voice trembling slightly:
"It, it's a success."
"A success?" Jiang He did a kip-up and jumped to his feet, rushing forward.
Inside the fire pit, pieces of equipment glowing with red light were floating in the air.
The two of them stood motionless in place.
Until the flames completely died out.
Gu Tian stepped forward quickly, picked up the equipment, and took a look; his expression changed drastically.
"A, a divine artifact! This is simply a divine artifact!"
"What the heck? Is it really that exaggerated? A divine artifact?" Jiang He walked over, looking unconvinced, and casually took a piece of equipment to inspect it.
[Styx Ring · First Rebirth (Perfect Grade)]
Class: Holy Spirit Priest
Level: None
Attack: 30,000
Defense: 5,000
Attack Speed: 50%
Special: Reduces received damage by 30%
Set Attribute: ????
"Holy crap! This really is a divine artifact!" Jiang He exclaimed.
The stats of this single ring already exceeded his Tier 7 Perfect Grade styx fang.
The most crucial part was that it actually had set attributes??
Jiang He excitedly took all the equipment from Gu Tian's hands and carefully examined each piece.
He was stunned on the spot.
Styx Battle Robe, Styx Helmet, Styx Bracers, Styx Gloves, Styx Ring, Styx Necklace, Styx Boots, Styx Belt...
An entire set of Perfect Grade First Rebirth equipment!
And the stats of every single piece were ridiculously strong!
Jiang He gulped hard, and although he was extremely reluctant, he still returned all the equipment to Gu Tian.
After all, these items were forged from the remains of Gu Tian's mother, so he really couldn't bring himself to ask for them.
Gu Tian took the equipment and put them on one by one.
In an instant, a powerful aura erupted from him.
Jiang He felt the surrounding air turn cold.
Gu Tian had lost many levels earlier to help everyone level up.
If he were in his prime state, combined with this set of equipment—by Jiang He's estimation, he could probably destroy the entire Blue Star with a single strike.
"Um, Old Gu... may I ask, what is your current attack power exactly?"
Jiang He still wanted to figure out just how big the gap was between himself and a powerhouse like Gu Tian.
Gu Tian smiled and waved his hand.
Gu Tian's attribute panel immediately appeared before Jiang He's eyes.
Thump—he just glanced at it and immediately fell to his knees on the ground.
Name: Gu Tian
Class: Holy Spirit Priest
Level: 65th Rebirth
HP: 3.9 Billion
Attack: 800 Million
Defense: 500 Million
...
What the f***! 3.9 billion HP? 800 million damage?
What kind of monster is this??
Jiang He almost cried.
He knew that Gu Tian was far from the strongest in the Immortal Domain.
Kavis was probably much stronger than him, otherwise, he couldn't have destroyed the Immortal Domain, right?
He gulped hard, simply unable to imagine it.
Humans... is it really possible to contend with Kavis?
"Um, Old Gu... can I try hitting you once?"
"Sure, go ahead."
Jiang He's eyes narrowed, he stood up, and pulled out the styx fang.
He dashed forward.
A white light flashed.
- 0
Damn it, I can't even break his defense??
"F***, again!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—several Blood Speech Techniques were unleashed in succession.
Even if he couldn't break the defense, the poison effect should at least work, right?
- 0
Poison stacking failed.
"Damn, damn, damn!" Jiang He got anxious and went all out.
He raised his hands above his head, and a red light gathered above Gu Tian's head.
This was his strongest ultimate move—Dark Injury Poison.
It could control enemies within range for 3 seconds and drain 10% of the enemy's HP every second.
The next second, Jiang He turned around: "Let's go..."
At this moment, his expression was ugly to the extreme.
Damage was zero, control was ineffective, and he couldn't even apply poison.
What's the point of fighting?
Die, let everyone die, just let this Blue Star be destroyed.
Arriving at the entrance of the passage.
Ah Li immediately saw that Jiang He was downcast, frowned, and walked up to ask:
"Master, what's wrong?"
Jiang He shook his head and didn't speak.
Suddenly, Ah Li turned her head and glared at Gu Tian: "Speak, did you bully my Master?"
Gu Tian trembled all over, looking helpless.
"A, Ah Li, listen to my explanation, I didn't bully your Master, he just..."
Halfway through his sentence, Gu Tian stopped.
He was too embarrassed to say that Jiang He's self-esteem had been bruised.
Suddenly, Jiang He hugged Ah Li and wailed:
"Boo hoo... Ah Li, my heart is bitter! Boo hoo... let it be destroyed! It's too tiring, I don't want to play this game anymore, it's just too insulting."
Jiang He felt incredibly aggrieved.
Since he started playing "Immortal Domain" until now, he had never suffered such a blow.
Damn it, he couldn't even deal a single drop of damage?
Ah Li hugged him with heartache, gently patting his back:
"There, there, Master, it's okay. With Ah Li here, no one dares to bully you."
As she said this, she glared at Gu Tian a few more times.
Gu Tian felt a massive headache coming on.
What kind of situation was this?
You were the one who said you wanted to try!
If you can't beat me, can you blame me?
It ended up looking like I bullied you...
"Mm, mm, I'm fine. Old Gu, hurry up and see if you can open the passage!" Jiang He wiped away his aggrieved tears and said chokingly.
Gu Tian glanced at him helplessly and walked to the passage.
He drew the styx fang and slashed at the void.
A crack appeared immediately after.
Gu Tian turned back and said to everyone:
"Everyone, follow me closely, hold onto each other, and don't get separated."
Afterward, Elder Gu Luo led the team, and everyone followed closely behind Gu Tian into the passage.
The passage was pitch black, and everyone lost their vision, able only to hear each other's footsteps and breathing.
After walking for a while, Gu Tian suddenly stopped, standing before a void.
"This is it, I can feel a familiar aura."
After speaking, he raised his dagger and, with a furious roar, slashed down violently.
Swoosh—a crack appeared out of thin air.
Before everyone could react, a powerful suction force swept everyone inside.
