Chapter 103 A Surprising Discovery: Immortality and Killing

Rune checked Destiny's magazine.

The last large lead bullet was lying quietly inside.

At this moment, all the spare elixirs for the flamethrower, heavy machine gun, and winch crossbow were used up.

There are no grenades left.

After the battle just now, Demar calculated his ammunition reserves very accurately.

In addition, his spiritual value is at the bottom, his physical strength is exhausted, and he cannot use the ultimate bomb.

It can be said that except for this large lead bullet in the magazine, Rune has no other combat capabilities.

And Delma can also drive ten blood mosquitoes.

The combat effectiveness of both sides has tilted.

At least on the surface, Rune lags far behind Demar.

Demar, whose skin was as crispy as a wafer biscuit, had a victor's look in his eyes.

He smiled laboriously, and his skin turned into dry fragments and scattered on the ground.

The face revealed horrific white bones and dark red muscles that had shrunk to the extreme.

"Seize your last chance, or surrender." Demar said, "I will give you a happy life, and you will not feel any pain."

He spoke intermittently, "Either...use your last bullet to end this battle."

Lu En raised his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and walked slowly forward.

His voice was weak, but steady and strong,

"One bullet, one chance."

"That's enough for me."

As soon as the words fell, Rune turned into an afterimage!

With the blessing of two items, "Rare Item: Pocket Watch" and "Spiritual Retention Chamber of Destiny", Rune can obtain a certain supply of spiritual value in a protracted battle.

At this moment, the last quick draw of the gun had completely bottomed out the spiritual value.

The spiritual value in the body is zero!

Seeing that Rune still had the strength to resist, Demar not only wasn't afraid, but instead became even more excited.

His face began to tear apart layer by layer, and the flapping speed of the blood mosquitoes in the sky accelerated to the limit.

By this moment, both of them were in a state of exhaustion.

The last thing to compare is that glimmer of perseverance, that glimmer of inspiration that flashed through desperate situations.

It's clear Luann took a chance.

He flickered among the ten mosquitoes, and the last drop of sweat on his body fell to the ground.

At this moment, he seemed to be back in the training room of the Black Tower.

The legs of the seven training methods were the first technique he chose to study.

This also provided a solid foundation for him to squeeze out the last strength from his bones at this moment.

With a simple movement, several blood mosquitoes were diverted away from their direction by Rune.

Then he jumped up, stopped quickly, and shook off a few more blood mosquitoes.

In front of Rune, and between Demar and Demar, there was no longer any barrier from the blood mosquito.

Taking a slight step forward, the dark muzzle of the gun was stuck in Demar's face.

The last bullet completed its mission.

Bang!

A simple and unassuming blow.

Demar's body turned into a pile of debris, scattered on the ground.

All the blood mosquitoes also fell into bloody water.

[Kill the special unit in sequence 7 (poisonous insect prosthetic body), plunder 1000 spiritual points]!

[Get 40 adventure points]!

[Spiritual value 4436→5436]

[Sequence 7. Ocean Disaster lv.3] → [Sequence 7. Ocean Disaster lv.4]

[Skill points gained: 1]!

On the panel, a series of messages popped up.

Luen did not check immediately, but picked up the red crystal left by Demar.

After finding a safe corner, I took a short rest.

This time, the battle with Demar had almost exhausted all of Rune's resources except for the ultimate explosive bomb, which was a huge consumption.

The battle lasted nearly five hours.

Demar is the first real enemy he has encountered since Rune's advanced sequence 7.

The other party is the apprentice of a strong Sequence 6 person, and the resources and efforts behind him are no less than his own.

"The enemy that was killed was not Demar, but the 'poisonous insect prosthetic body'?"

Lu En was a little surprised when he saw the first item on the panel.

But that's all.

No wonder the opponent started talking about a showdown, not a showdown of life and death.

However, this prosthetic body is definitely Demar's top priority.

The loss of the prosthetic body is no different from his death.

It's just that the other party still has one life left to linger on.

It is impossible to regain the current strength in a short period of time.

This prosthetic body provided Rune with a thousand spiritual points and fifty adventure points.

When the level reaches Sequence 7 (lv. 4), Rune taps his hand lightly to add the skill points gained from the upgrade to the "Large Buck Bullet" again.

[Large lead bullet Lv. 7] → [Large lead bullet Lv. 8]!

[(Destiny Shotgun) level increased by 1, current level is lv.14]

[Currently has 161 (↑2) times spiritual damage increase]

[The production of large lead bullets consumes spirituality, and the basic spiritual damage value is increased to (5)]!

The large lead bullet reaching level 8 once again brings a direct and numerical improvement.

One shot damage reached 805!

After adding skill points, Rune turned his attention to adventure points.

The current adventure point balance is: 70!

Seventy adventure points are enough to buy some good things in the adventure point store.

There are still 6 resurrection coins left, so don’t think about it for now.

Lun's target turned to a transparent glass bottle in the store.

——

[Item]: Clear Test Tube

[Level]: Lv.30

[Ability]: Condensate and strengthen the items, elements, and materials placed in it over time

[Price]: 10 Adventure Points——

This is his goal.

Exchange [Clear Test Tube]*7!

Seven transparent test tubes fell into Run's hands.

With these test tubes, he can put green jellyfish in them.

After a period of time, the effect of green jellyfish will be strengthened. At that time, it may become a top material for making potions.

Before, in the water, Run had seen the healing ability of green jellyfish.

But it was far from enough.

He needed a stronger healing agent, or an agent with other special effects.

As Run's sequence improved, his attitude towards the resurrection coin was even a little bit distant.

He really used it as a trump card.

After using the resurrection coin, the negative state on the body will be eliminated, and a certain amount of physical strength and spirituality will be restored.

But the reconstructed body, with the promotion of sequence and the improvement of physical strength, can no longer reach the previous "perfect" level.

That is to say, even if Rune can be resurrected through the resurrection coin, the hidden strength of the body will decrease, and the adaptability of the soul to the new body will also decrease.

He did not use the previous desperate fighting style in the battle.

Preservation status. In addition to the lessons learned from this battle, if there are enough potion supplies to restore physical strength and spirituality, he does not have to fight to the last bullet.

In summary, Rune now needs more props to support.

After getting the test tube, Rune put it in the storage space, and only needs to wait for the time to leave later, and then look for some green jellyfish in the habitat.

What attracts Rune's attention most now is the red crystal in his hand at this moment.

——

[Divine Wonder]: Blood Essence of Killing

[Level]: Legendary lv.30 (incomplete)

[Feature (Divine of Killing)]: After carrying Blood Essence of Killing, the (War Will Surge) state will be triggered, and you will fall into the urge to fight

[Feature (Red Lotus of Death)]: Listen to the call of killing in the blood essence, and have the opportunity to step into the fate of (killing)

[Fate (Killing)]: One of the advanced fates, enter the killing and pray for the disaster to come

[Ability]: Can be used as any form of medium/material/wonder

——

A red diamond-shaped crystal with a crimson lotus blooming in the middle.

There are seven layers and eighty-one petals.

Rune peeked inside and could hear some faint whispers calling.

These whispers became clearer and clearer, and then gradually surrounded his ears.

"Interesting."

He quickly looked away.

At the moment he was there, he had a strong premonition that he could feel that as long as he continued to listen to the whispers.

There is a high probability that he will step into the fate of killing.

But for an unfamiliar fate, Rune did not dare to try it easily.

He still needed to go back and check the information before making a decision.

After all, there are many pitfalls in the empire.

Many powerful beings in the fate will sacrifice the weak to strengthen themselves.

After collecting the blood essence, Rune's condition has also recovered a little.

It's time to leave this place.

Rune groped and walked out of the habitat.

At this moment, the habitat base was terribly quiet.

All the people who were in this base before became blood sacrifices of the blood array and were sacrificed to the "killing" fate.

Whether it was the Hydra Church or the innocent people who were deceived.

Rune kept retreating along the way he came.

When he walked to the side of the small lake, he saw something that surprised him.

That bald parrot.

Rune could be sure that the bald parrot before had been blown up by his punch.

It was almost a meat pie residue, hanging on the iron cage.

But now, after five or six hours, this bald parrot is alive!

Its flesh, blood, and skeleton are all restored to their original state.

Except for a little lethargy and the lack of feathers, it is completely "resurrected"!

"Hey, hey, hey, the guy in front, stop, don't come over!"

The bald parrot was terrified when it saw Rune.

"Did you hear me? Uncle Iven ordered Uncle Iven to beg you, don't come over! I'm really scared!"

The parrot looked at the approaching Rune and wanted to say something harsh.

But then he thought that the man in front of him was the real ruthless man.

His harsh words were not convincing at all, so he simply started begging.

But his tone did not change at all.

He spoke in a proud tone and begged.

Rune ignored the parrot's words and walked to its side.

The parrot had no feathers and it was difficult to fly, and Rune grabbed it in his hand.

It flapped its wings and panicked.

"This. Warrior! Warrior! Let me go! Uncle Ivan was wrong!"

"The treasure location I told you before was correct, right? Uncle Ivan didn't lie to you!"

"I also know the location of the Pirate King's treasure. I'll take you there!"

"Don't look at me. I'm just an ordinary parrot! I can only talk at most. Wait, what are you looking at? That's not right!"

"You're too presumptuous!"

Rune took the words of the bald parrot as air and kept turning the parrot over.

The target he killed was resurrected a few hours later.

There are no props, no racial characteristics, and no sequence characteristics.

Lu En's eyes became strange. Could it be that this parrot has embarked on the path of "immortality"?

In other words, there is some kind of immortal curse, but it is actually one of the embodiments of the immortal destiny.

A small bald parrot can actually have such a destiny.

Lu En couldn't figure it out.

Across the five oceans and seven seas, everyone is working hard for something.

Power, wealth, the opposite sex, and even strength and sequence promotion.

But the most sought after things are "immortality" and "immortality".

Almost everyone is on the road to pursuing immortality.

Without immortality, wealth and power are nothing, beauty and wine are nothing but red and pink skulls, and no matter how powerful you are, they will fall in time.

Except for beings like "gods", almost all extraordinary beings have limitations in the concept of time.

Even the most powerful emperor who founded the country, who was able to repel the evil gods from outside the territory and pacify the five oceans and seven seas, also fell sadly because of time.

Therefore, the study of longevity can be said to be the ultimate goal.

From the legendary fountain of youth to the tears of the mermaid princess, from alchemy to mechanical ascension, from flesh and blood sacrifice to rebirth, from the reproduction of all things to the mother nest of incarnation, from extraordinary entry to sequential promotion.

Each different sequence and power is the embodiment of immortality.

The fate of "immortality" is even more mysterious.

It is called "one of the rarest" and "most valuable for research" in the world.

If you find a being with a path to immortality, you may be able to decipher the secret of immortality.

Luen's breathing became heavier. If the parrot in front of him was really destined to die.

Then its own value is already more practical than the so-called treasure.

But before that, Lu En had to take a test to prevent himself from making mistakes in judgment.

There is only one best way to test the path of immortality.

That is. Kill!

Lu En exerted force, and the parrot in his hand was crushed into a ball of flesh.

No signs of life.

The path to immortality is completely different from Rune's own rebirth by relying on "props", or Carter's rebirth by relying on "characteristic skills".

Its rebirth is unlimited!

Strictly speaking, the wear and tear on the spirit and soul only occurs after multiple deaths and over a long period of time.

So whether the parrot in front of you is destined to die or not, just keep killing it and that's it.

Kill at least a hundred times.

I found a random bag and threw the parrot meat paste into it.

Then wash your hands in the lake water of the habitat and catch the green jellyfish.

Return to the Beloberg stronghold safely all the way.

Lieutenant Colonel Naston has been lingering on the front lines, anxiously waiting for news from Luann.

When Lu En's figure appeared, he was excited.

He quickly came up and said, "Captain."

Rune nodded slightly, "All enemies in the habitat have been wiped out. The leading Sequence 7 Demar's prosthetic body has been lost. If you just advance forward, there shouldn't be much resistance."

"I knew it!" Naston clenched his fist fiercely, "As expected of the captain! Your contribution to Beloberg is obvious to all! Taking the Emerald Island will not only be as simple as healing resources, but our research will also go further. I will give the captain your application when the time comes.”

He smiled and said: "The green jellyfish strengthening reagent, a reagent that can permanently strengthen physical fitness, has overcome the biggest difficulty. We are just waiting for a large number of green jellyfish to be tested."

"Captain, your contribution is to provide help in times of need."

Lu En nodded slightly. He had never heard of this matter.

I think it was some kind of secret experiment and the news was blocked.

If the Hydra Church knew about this, they would definitely send additional defensive forces, and the battle for Emerald Island would become even more intense.

"Leave the rest to us," Naston said. "Your achievements have been reported to the Navy Headquarters and the Adventurers Guild. You can receive your rewards when you return."

"I hope to cooperate with you next time, you are an excellent adventurer."

Lu En nodded slightly, said nothing, turned around and entered the portal that had been prepared for him.

A flash of light flashed, and he appeared directly at the Belloberg Adventurer's Guild.

At this time, information panels popped up in front of him.

[Complete the war mission (green treasure)]

[Basic reward obtained: Beloberg fourth-class military merit*1, 200 black tower points]

[Excellent performance, first encounter, killed 10 enemies in sequence 7, several enemies in sequence 8, and several Hydra followers]

[Acquired total points of 16100, third-class military merit*1]

[Excellent performance, sneaking into the battle for the second time, killing Sequence 7 troll*1, Hydra priest (leader)*1, and several Hydra followers]

[Troll reward points 500 points, fourth-class military merit*1]

[Hydra Priest will be rewarded with 2,000 points, third-class military merit*1]

A total of 18,600 points were obtained, including 2 third-class military merit and 2 fourth-class military merit.

[Complete additional tasks (habitat) and apply for special rewards (green reagent)]

[The entry (pirate) triggers! Get a magical drifting bottle (weapon)! 】

Looking at the series of news, Lu En was very satisfied.

Now you have a lot of points and military merits, not only enough points for the spiritual element transfer technique, but also many extra rewards!

Magical drifting bottle. Waiting for little Carter to open it!
