Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 2 Millennium Fire Lotus (2)
What's worse is that the action of luring and luring the eight top-ranked immersion qualification winners, which I had placed great hopes on, also failed. I originally thought that with Khufu's outstanding strength after evolving into a pharaoh, which is equivalent to the ninth-level lower-level magic beast, and with the support of a special undead wizard like me, I can't expect all of them, but at least I should be able to attract one or two to join me or form a temporary alliance to cope with the upcoming immersion qualification challenge, and at the same time, I can also get better development opportunities. Unexpectedly, they were all rejected, which disappointed me greatly. According to the information that Khufu found out, it seems that Hades privately "communicated" with them one by one. The specific content is unknown, but judging from their attitude towards me afterwards, they were obviously "intimidated" by the "tyrannical power" of the Nether Dragon King and did not dare to go against me and Hades. To put it bluntly, they still didn't think highly of my strength, and they all inferred that under the suppression of the ruler, the Nether Dragon King, I would not be able to get further development opportunities in the "Hell Volcano".
The intention of seeking foreign aid was shattered. To win the "qualification war" and keep the hard-won opportunity to develop in the "Hell Volcano", I can only hope for the efforts of Khufu, Had, Guben, Daxiu and Taotao. If I choose the one-on-one duel mode, except for Khufu who should be able to win, Taotao and the other four will definitely be eliminated, which is not worth the loss. Choosing the "team battle" mode of five people in a group, sharing honor and disgrace, there may be a greater hope. However, with Hades's insidiousness, he will definitely not give me the opportunity to win the qualification for immersion. He will definitely arrange in secret to let the volcanic undead who obey him also form a strong combination. The top eight teams that qualify for immersion, plus those "running dogs" of Hades who suddenly appear or are still hiding in the dark, once they unite, there will be no other strong people to cooperate with Khufu. One strong man will drag four weak ones, and it will be difficult to support them alone. The chance of winning is slim.
It's already May, but I still can't think of any good way to deal with the upcoming "immersion qualification challenge". The only hope I can put on it is reasonable tactics and more tacit cooperation. However, if I face an overwhelming advantage in strength, I have no idea how effective it will be. I can only leave it to fate and see my luck.
One day in early January, when I was busy subduing the terrifying Earth Dragon Knight, I suddenly felt someone trying to establish a spiritual connection with me. I looked carefully and found that it was Qingwu Feiyang calling me through the Witch Crown. After the call was connected, she asked me to meet her and said she had something to discuss. Although she didn't say what it was, I didn't mention her identity as the vice-president of the "Resistance Alliance". Just because of the good relationship between us, I couldn't neglect her request, so as not to be misunderstood as me not giving her face and looking down on her. Naturally, I agreed immediately.
I quickly rushed to the agreed meeting place. Only Qingwu Feiyang and her few "Undead Bodyguards" were present. After a few pleasantries , she took out a bright red flower-like object from her "storage belt", the size of a face plate, and handed it to me. "A-Dai, this is something we accidentally got from the 'Hell Volcano'. It's quite rare. I want to show you. Have you seen it before?"
I took the "flower" and examined it carefully. It was quite hard and crystal clear, like jade. There was a faint fiery red glow flowing inside. I checked its introduction. There was only the name "Millennium Fire Lotus" without any specific explanation. Is there such a thing on the "Hell Volcano"? I have never seen it, nor have I heard Khufu and Taotao mention it. So I shook my head and handed it back to Qingwu Feiyang, "I have never seen such a thing. How did you find it?"
Qingwu Feiyang had no intention of taking it back, "You might as well turn to page 313 of the 'Encyclopedia of Undead Creatures'. There is a note about the 'Millennium Fire Lotus'. Understanding its function may be helpful to you."
Although I felt a little puzzled and didn't know what Qingwu Feiyang was doing, I still opened the "Encyclopedia of Undead Creatures" as I was told and started looking for it. As expected, in the "Miscellaneous Essays" that I felt were useless and had always ignored, there was a note about the "Millennium Fire Lotus" - it was produced on the "Hell Volcano", one of the four forbidden areas in the "Undead Space". It gathers extremely yin energy and condenses into tangible objects. It has been soaked and washed in volcanic lava for thousands of years and condensed. It is an extremely rare species and contains powerful energy. Absorbing it is of great benefit to fire-attributed undead creatures, and has the effect of promoting rapid growth and greatly improving strength.
In an instant, my heart was suddenly excited, and all I saw was this sentence: "Absorbing it is of great benefit to fire-attributed undead creatures, and can promote growth and enhance strength." Khufu has evolved into a pharaoh, and eating it is not very useful. However, for Taotao and Guben who are in a bottleneck state, after absorbing all the energy in the "Millennium Fire Lotus", they may be able to not only greatly enhance their strength, but also meet the requirements of evolution. If they can complete , and if there is one more strong man who cooperates well with Khufu, the possibility of passing the challenge with two leading three should be much greater.
"How is it? Does this 'Millennium Fire Lotus' suit your taste? One of your pets and several of your powerful subordinates seem to have fire attributes. I wonder if anyone can use it. It's a pity that we can't find a fire-attributed undead creature that is qualified to absorb it at the moment. Otherwise, this natural treasure would definitely be kept for ourselves."
It is useless to others, but it is an item I desperately need. I really don't know how I found it. It requires both great luck and a person who knows the value of things. If it were me, I would have missed it and would have let it go if I saw it. "I guess I am the only one in the world who can use this 'Millennium Fire Lotus'. Sister Feiyang really found the right person. I don't know what price you are going to offer. I am a poor man. Please don't ask for too much and scare me." I dare not think that she would give such a rare item for free. Our relationship is not yet "close" enough to be indistinguishable from each other. We still have to uphold the principle of "equal exchange", which is the most commonly used principle in the game.
"Brother Ah Dai, you are such a joke. As the 'World's Chief Undead Wizard', you have many ways to make money. Even if you are not a millionaire, you are probably not even close to being a 'poor man'. But whether you are really poor or just pretending to be poor, it is none of my business, because I don't plan to exchange this 'Millennium Fire Lotus' for money. First, I don't need money for the time being, so there is no need to sell it in a hurry. More importantly, this kind of treasure is extremely rare and can only be encountered by chance. Maybe one day in the future when I need it, I may not be able to buy it no matter how much money I spend."
"Oh, then I wonder what Sister Feiyang wants to exchange for it? Could it be that she has taken a fancy to these two artifacts of mine and wants to exchange one for her own pleasure?" I asked half-jokingly.
"Even if I wanted to, you wouldn't be willing to give it up." Qingwu Feiyang smiled faintly and rolled her eyes at me. "Sister, let me ask you a question. The ability that you often use recently to transform into a bat, and the ability to create many clones, and the ability that glows red all over your body and seems to be able to increase the upper limit of your mental power, did you get it in the 'Dead Soul Space'?"
