"This is weird..." Tanan looked carefully at the deep pit underground. The whole piece of land looked as if a piece had been gouged out by a spoon. The shape was very regular and the walls were very smooth, but it was bottomless.
He picked up a stone at random and threw it down. It took more than thirty seconds before he heard an echo.
"Hey, how deep is this?"
Tanan looked at the clear sky, then at the dark cave, touched his head, and grinned:
"Fuck your one-eyed ass, what kind of powerful magic is this? Such a fierce move didn't even break the wall? Impossible?
Hiss, could it be that the weird magic that was flashing all over the place just now was not cast by Chaos, but by the reinforcements?
Damn, this big-eared monster is really cruel. By the way, where are the reinforcements? Did they blow themselves up? "
Tanan searched around the city wall for a long time, but could not find any trace of the living reinforcements.
He touched his head and felt his scalp tingling.
"No body left? This reinforcement is really cruel. In order to kill Chaos, they used such terrible magic to attack themselves. They are real men."
In any case, the trouble caused by Chaos attacking the Garden of the Sacred Tree has been temporarily resolved.
Tanan calmed down and prepared to run back to communicate with the World Tree.
But as soon as he arrived at the Garden of the Sacred Tree, he found that the World Tree had a bitter face and was groaning in pain.
Tanan was shocked. Yogdorahil was very optimistic and had never shown such pain.
"Yugdorahil, what happened to you? Did Chaos invade your body?"
The bark of the World Tree was trembling as it spoke, "That's not the case. I just feel a lot of pain."
"Does it hurt? Tell me where it hurts, I'll go check it out." Tanan was very nervous.
"Tree roots." The World Tree said with a bitter face: "This reinforcement is really amazing, I have never seen such powerful magic.
His magic blasted right through the ground and hit my tree roots."
"Is it really reinforcements?" Tanan was curious:
"Will the reinforcements not be able to harm you?"
“Even if it can’t hurt, it still hurts.
Have you ever experienced the feeling of having your toes crushed by a behemoth? "
Tanan imagined the huge body of Behemoth and took a breath of cold air: "Hiss, that really hurts."
"Ten! I feel like ten Behemoths are pressing on one of my toes. Then all my toes are pressed. The entire tree root is filled with Behemoths."
"Tsk tsk." Tanan cast a look of pity towards Yogdorahil.
After a while, the World Tree shook and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally it's better. This magic is really cruel."
Tanan asked with some doubt:
"You've been invaded by Chaos like this, isn't it more painful than being attacked by magic one by one? I thought you were used to it by now?"
"Who told you that being invaded by Chaos would hurt?" World Tree looked at Tanan strangely: "That's Chaos, don't underestimate Chaos.
How could Chaos, which has invaded countless worlds, make me feel pain when it is invaded?
On the contrary, being invaded by chaos is quite comfortable, especially in those areas that are deeply invaded, where even the bark of the trees feels comfortable and is about to fall off. "
Tanan was shocked: "You big-eared monster, you're still happy about being invaded by chaos?"
"What else? A top predator makes its prey willingly be eaten. This is the horror of chaos."
Tanan looked at the World Tree with disdain. He shook his head and said:
"Now is not the time to tell you bad news. The reinforcements that just arrived should have perished along with Chaos. Now that we have no reinforcements, what should we do?"
"Ouch." The World Tree laughed:
"A wise traveler is not easily overwhelmed.
Don't worry, our allies are still alive and coming towards us."
"How do you know?"
"Look back."
Tanan turned around immediately and saw a row of graceful dragons slowly flying towards him from high in the sky.
"This is a life form of order? A giant dragon I have never seen before." Tanan shouted in surprise: "Have you found a dragon as reinforcement?"
World Tree's expression was a little complicated: "No, if I remember correctly, I should have only found one person. It seems that our new partner may have had some great adventures that I don't know about."
…
…
Qi Ge died once and lost a lot of magic. Fortunately, the magic of [Summon Fairy Dragon] and [Reindeer] were not lost.
At the moment before the Ice Doomsday broke out, not only were the Seven Pigeons killed, but even the teleportation sign that the Seven Pigeons had left behind was destroyed by the Yasha energy explosion caused by the Ice Doomsday.
In desperation, Qi Ge spent a long time and took a long detour before he successfully found his fairy dragon troops.
As creatures of order, Qi Ge and his army of fairy dragons passed through the vine wood walls of the Sacred Tree Garden without any pressure.
The skeleton cavalry were placed outside the city wall by seven pigeons. Each skeleton cavalry held a reindeer in his hand, ready to throw the reindeer out at any time when encountering chaos.
After passing through the Fujimu City Wall, we soon saw the World Tree Yogdorasil and Tanan standing next to the World Tree.
Tanan's appearance had changed a lot compared to the young Tanan that Qi Ge had seen in the illusion before. His hair looked particularly messy, and the clothes he wore had changed from a gorgeous battle robe to a tattered coarse cloth shirt. He no longer had the domineering aura that he had in the illusion.
But from his angular face and unique, wild features, Qi Ge could still recognize him at a glance.
"Teacher Tanan, Grandpa Yogdorahil." Qi Ge landed in front of the two people riding a fairy dragon and greeted them excitedly:
"After all the hardships, I finally get to see you."
"Hahaha! Look what I found, a resourceful young man, a talented traveler.
When I first met you, I knew that sooner or later you would become the focus of the entire Asian world, but I didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
Very good, very good! "
Yogdorahil laughed heartily, his eyes wide.
"Teacher Tanan?" Tanan seemed to be very concerned about Qi Ge's address. He frowned and asked, "Who are you? Have I ever taught you?
I'm very sorry, I have experienced several reincarnations, played many roles, and lost many memories.
If you were my student, you would remind me. "
“Ah. Master, you did not teach me, but my followers were once your students.
I am one with my followers, and you are her teacher, and that is the teacher of my seven pigeons."
Qi Ge was shameless and tried hard to get close to him.
Tanan was even more puzzled: "Followers? Who?"
"The daughter of the Air Elemental Monarch."
"Chengfeng?!" Tanan's eyes suddenly widened. He glared at Qi Ge and suddenly realized:
"Good fellow, it's you! Your name is Qi Ge, right? You're the one who wants to snatch the title of the God-conferred Champion from me.
I have heard of you several times and have always wanted to find a chance to meet you. I never thought that the reinforcements that Yogdorahil had been talking about turned out to be you.
What a coincidence. "
Tanan's eyes suddenly became dangerous: "It's not easy for us to meet. After the matter of Yogdora Hill is resolved, we can get closer."
Qi Ge was overjoyed: "We need to get closer. I just happen to have something I want to ask you, Teacher."
"Who is your teacher?" Tanan slapped his thigh angrily, "I haven't settled the score with you for kidnapping Chengfeng yet."
"Hahahaha! We are all family, don't hurt the harmony."
The World Tree laughed heartily and tried to smooth things over:
"Tanan, Qige. Now that you are all here and the Chaos that besieged the Garden of the Sacred Tree has been eliminated, it is time to launch a general attack on the Chaos.
The chaos that invades our Forest of Wisdom all comes from the same chaos node, which is located at the Fountain of Youth that has been irrigating our Forest of Wisdom.
To be precise, it should be part of the Rejuvenation Fountain.
All the Rejuvenation Fountains in the Yasa world are derived from one Rejuvenation Fountain, and these Rejuvenation Fountains work together to suppress a troublesome and thorny Chaos Monster.
Originally, the Rejuvenation Fountain had been fine, but for some unknown reason some time ago, Chaos penetrated the Rejuvenation Fountain in our Forest of Wisdom and the power of that Chaos Monster to generate a Chaos Node buried inside the Rejuvenation Fountain.
The elves of the Rejuvenation Fountain were sealed by Chaos and could not warn me. By the time I realized that something was wrong, Chaos had already affected most areas of the Forest of Wisdom through the spring water.
If you want to completely resolve the chaos in the Forest of Wisdom, you must go to the Fountain of Youth and break the chaos nodes in the Fountain of Youth.
As soon as the World Tree finished speaking, Qi Ge felt dizzy. He sensed it and immediately a map appeared in his mind, marking the direction of the World Tree and the Rejuvenation Spring. "
"What is this?" Qi Ge's pupils shrank: "This core area of ​​chaos is actually a headless snake?"
Tanan looked at Qi Ge with complicated eyes, as if he was a little surprised that Qi Ge's observation skills were so sharp.
He said, "Yes, that is the Chaos Monster sealed by the Rejuvenation Fountain - the Undead Rock Python.
The last snake head missing is the Garden of the Sacred Tree.
Chaos not only wants to devour the World Tree and the Forest of Wisdom, but also wants to make the Forest of Wisdom become the snake eggs to hatch the Undead Rock Python again.
If Chaos succeeds, the Undead Rock Python will be able to devour the World Tree and the Fountain of Youth while escaping.
At that time, it can become the vehicle for the Chaos Hundred-Headed Serpent, one of the four great leaders of Chaos, to descend upon the world .
If a Chaos Leader of the True God level appears in the Yasa World, it will be a catastrophe and all living things will be destroyed."
World Tree added:
"At the same time, Chaos can also use the wisdom slabs that invaded the Forest of Wisdom to attack the bottom of the Divine Kingdom Runes, making it impossible for the Purple God to distract Yasha.
This will start a new round of Chaos invasion with extremely high intensity."
Qi Ge frowned and asked, "What are our countermeasures? It can't be just me and Teacher Tanan, right?"
"Who is your teacher?" Tanan complained angrily, strongly condemning Qi Ge's shameless behavior.
The World Tree smiled at the Seven Pigeons and said:
“Of course there are more than just you two, master and disciple.
It’s just that you are the most direct, least costly, and most threatening means to Chaos.
If you can thwart Chaos's plot, there will be no need to implement subsequent, more costly plans."
"Who is he and his disciple? Whose side are you on, Yogdorahil?"
"Well, I have to discuss this with Shion."
The Seven Doves raised their heads and shouted loudly:
"Shion, stop being alert and come down for a moment."
"Here I come~" Shion rode the fairy dragon and landed beside the three people. She greeted the World Tree gracefully:
"Yugdorahil, long time no see. Thank you for the Mother Goddess's gift, giving you and me the opportunity to meet again."
“Hahaha! It turns out that the one following Qi Ge is you, lazy little fellow.
Of all the purple dragons, you are the one that Zi Cai loves the most, no wonder."
Tanan looked at Ziyuan, his pupils suddenly contracted: "Zilong?! How is this possible."
He looked at Qi Ge in shock and said in disbelief:
“You guy.
No wonder you have such high charisma, you actually have a purple dragon as a mount?
How much has the Magic God bet on you?
Damn it, I should have thought of it earlier. Lord Yu Feng is not the kind of father who would let Chengfeng do whatever he wants. It must be his arrangement that Chengfeng chose you.
Both gods think so highly of you, what is your trump card?"
Qi Ge spread his hands innocently: "Teacher, I don't have any trump cards, I am just an ordinary and ordinary Asian God Chosen.
Maybe it's because I can be resurrected after I die, so it's safer to follow me."
Tanan was silent for a while, then snorted: "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I'm not willing to ask."
"Hahahahahaha." World Tree laughed heartily and explained the situation to Shion again.
Finally, the World Tree asked Shion:
"The Undead Rock Python in the Forest of Wisdom can rely on Chaos Nodes to heal its injuries. The scars left on it by the Sea God will no longer be its weakness.
Little guy, you are Zilong, this is your home ground, what do you think of the Undead Rock Python? "
Ziyuan blinked, looked at Qige in confusion, and said:
"I don't have any objection. I believe in my savior brother. I'll do whatever you say."
After hearing this, Tanan looked at Qi Ge with even more suspicion.
Qi Ge patted Shion's head and said seriously:
"I might have a way to deal with it, but I'm missing something."
"Oh, what is it?" asked the World Tree with interest.
"One specialty!" The seven pigeons revealed their true intentions:
“I lack a skill that allows me to adapt to changing circumstances and be flexible enough.
In the Forest of Wisdom, my specialties will be transformed into magic runes that are exclusive to me.
And one of my specialty boxes is still empty."
"Hahaha!" The World Tree laughed heartily:
"That's a great coincidence! I just happen to know a very flexible skill that can be changed anytime.
Tanan, do you have any clues?"
Tanan's expression was as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.
He angrily said to Qi Ge, who looked innocent, "Boy, I am your rival in the competition for the title of God-conferring Champion, and you dare to covet my specialty.
How can you be so shameless? "
"Oh my!" Qi Ge was overjoyed: "Teacher, your specialty is actually the ability to change back and forth? I didn't know that.
How could such a coincidence happen?
I understand, this must be the arrangement of the goddess of fate."
Tanan was silent for a moment, then silently clenched the axe in his hand.
It’s hard, it’s hard, Tanan’s axe is hard!
Qi Ge said to Tanan righteously: "Teacher Tanan, for the survival of Grandpa Yugdorashiel, for the peace of the Yasha world, and for the justice of order.
Even though I really don't want to embarrass you, I can only do it with reluctance and shamelessness and ask you to learn a special skill.
Teacher, look at my empty specialty column, should I put something in it?"
"Bah!" Tanan spat at Qi Ge's feet. "I'll chop you to death, you shameless thing."
Tanan picked up the axe and started hacking at Qige wildly.
Since physical attacks would not cause any damage in the Forest of Wisdom, Qi Ge did not dodge. He just crouched with his head in his hands and allowed Tanan to attack him at will.
He shut off his pain sense and cried out in pain: "Ouch, it hurts so much, Brother Tanan, Lord God of War, I was wrong, please let me go."
And the World Tree was standing by and trying to persuade them to stop fighting with a smile. His tone did not sound anxious or impatient, but rather seemed to be welcoming.
"Bang!" Tanan hit Qi Ge with his axe for the last time and said angrily:
"Forget it, for Yogg'dorashiel's sake."
Tanan stretched out his hand, pulled Qige up, and said to him seriously:
"It's not that I won't teach you, but my skills are very special. Most people can't learn them, and even if they do, they won't be of any use."
Qi Ge originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that he would actually have the hope of obtaining Yasha's strongest specialty [The Changeable Man]!
He suddenly became nervous and asked solemnly:
"Teacher Tanan, please tell me in detail."
Tanan shook his head and said, “My original specialty was the Barbarian King, but later on, for some reasons, I made a big mistake.
To atone for my sins, I abandoned all my past powers, started over again, and gained a brand new specialty.
This is my first time transforming from a demigod to a mortal.
Later, under the guidance of my ancestors, I joined the army to fight against Chaos .
During this process, I was nearly swallowed by chaos, and once again gave up almost all of my strength before I managed to escape.
This is my second transformation.
After falling from demigod to mortal twice, coupled with the rules I snatched from chaos, I realized my true talent, which is my current specialty [The Changeable Man].
There are many speculations about my specialties from the outside world, and people think that I can develop any kind of specialties.
Actually, my specialties are not that great.
It only lets me have perks I know well enough to use, and each switch requires a long cooldown.
To explain this in detail, we need to start with the nature of expertise.
A hero's specialty is his or her understanding of the rules for himself or herself. In the early stages of a hero's life, when the rules are not well understood, the heroes' specialties are generally homogenized.
For example, heroes with the specialty [Offensive Skills] have almost the same specialty effects, which is to simply amplify the effect of [Offensive Skills].
As the hero progresses to legend, master, and even demigod, his understanding of the [Attack] rules becomes deeper and deeper, and the effects of his specialties will also show obvious differences.
After reaching the legendary level, you will not be able to find a true legend with exactly the same special effects in the entire Yasa world, because each hero’s understanding of the rules cannot be exactly the same.
Even if they are all good at offensive techniques, there will be obvious differentiation.
For example, Kenro Hag's offensive skill effect is to ignore the opponent's defense as much as possible, while Gan Delu's offensive skill specialty is to allow the troops to permanently obtain the ogre's bloodthirsty effect.
This difference is caused by the different understandings of the concept of "offense" between Gandrew and Kenro Hager.
If I want my [Changeable Person] to develop into a corresponding specialty, I need to have a sufficient understanding of the rules corresponding to that specialty.
If I force it to conform to rules that I don't understand, I will only end up with extremely ineffective specialties.
My [Changeable Man] can only obtain the same special effects as my own level.
The current [Man of Change] itself has a demigod-level specialty, but if I force it to become a specialty that I don’t understand, then I can only get the effect of an ordinary-level specialty in the end.
The reason why [The Ever-changing Man] seems very powerful in my hands is that I have experienced many reincarnations, have gone through many lives, and have acquired many powerful specialties.
At the same time, I have many legendary and demigod friends who have shared their expertise with me. This has given me a deep understanding and insight into many rules, so I can bring out the best in this expertise.
If you want to learn the ever-changing man, first of all you need to have a sufficient understanding of the various rules of the Asian world. This is a hard condition and there is no room for compromise. If you can't achieve it, you won't be able to learn it.
Then, you need to have defeated enough chaotic forces and have sufficient understanding of the rules of chaos, which is also a hard condition.
Only if the above two points are met can I teach you.
But if you don’t have the same magical experience as me and enough friends, even if I teach you [The Changing Person], it will be difficult for you to bring out its effect. "
[System prompt: Congratulations to the player for triggering the mythical-level special task: The Ever-changing Man]
[Task Name: The Ever-changing Man
Task requirements:
1. Tanan's favorability: 40, current: 10
2. The number of heroes above Legendary level with whom you have a favorability greater than 80 is greater than 10, currently 36, completed.
3. Obtained at least two legendary specialties: Currently: 2, completed.
Mission Reward: Obtain Specialty: A Changing Person]
hiss……
After hearing the task requirements, Qi Ge swallowed calmly.
There is nothing much to say about the second requirement. Isn’t it just py?
Are there more than 10 legendary heroes with favorability greater than 80?
Just kidding, if you add a qualification: female hero, I have no problem with that.
After all, I am the number one professional player in the Asian Sands world. Making friends with NPCs is a compulsory course for every professional player.
The key is the third condition.
“I definitely won’t be able to fulfill this requirement on my account in this lifetime, but in my previous life, I did clean up my special skills once.
After the guild was destroyed, I washed out my original Griffin specialty and replaced it with the Bard specialty.
The task showed that the requirements had been completed, which obviously took my experience in my previous life into account.
Tsk tsk, Tanan said he had experienced several reincarnations. Coincidentally, I also reincarnated. This is fate.
The only problem is the favorability."
Qi Ge thought about it and made up his mind.
He said to Tanan, "Teacher Tanan, please excuse me for a moment. I have something I want to discuss with you in private."
Tanan:?
…
…
Seeing Qi Ge leading him away, Tanan asked impatiently: "You cunning and treacherous brat, tell me what you want to say."
Qi Ge took a deep breath, suddenly turned around, slammed his knees hard, half-knelt in front of Tanan, and bowed deeply to Tanan, which scared Tanan.
"What are you doing?!"
"Your Excellency Tanan, I was embarrassed because there were so many people around just now. Now I will give you a knight's salute and apologize to you."
"Apology? Are you talking about calling me teacher? No need. I'm not that petty."
Qi Ge shook his head vigorously and said, "That's not it. Anyway, I'll apologize first, and then I'll explain in detail."
"Your Excellency Tanan, by chance, I got your diary and saw your past when you were young.
I have very important news to tell you, Yara, it is definitely not El Zeus in disguise.
She really existed in this world, and El Zeus deceived you."
Tanan's eyes suddenly darkened. He frowned and stared at Qi Ge, asking word by word: "What do you know? Why do you say that? Where is the evidence?"
