The old voice stopped in Ling Chen's ears, making him understand that this was the voice left behind by War God in this trial ground. Everyone who came here would hear this voice, and it wasn't someone talking to him.
Reaching the end of this space, obtaining the only key, and then opening the metal box in front of him, this was the content of the trial … Ling Chen turned around and looked at the exit of this stone room. This stone room didn't have a door, and it was bright outside. It should be an empty area. Without trying to touch the metal box again, Ling Chen turned and walked towards the exit. The content of the trial sounded very simple, but he knew very well how dangerous the path to the end of this space would be. The six geniuses who had already died in this trial were the best proof.
Could he really pass this trial?
To be honest, Ling Chen didn't have the confidence to pass this trial, it could even be said that he didn't have any confidence at all. However, if he could pass this trial and obtain the strongest profession, even if there was only a precedent of failure in front of him, he still had to try his best.
Standing at the entrance, Ling Chen didn't step out, but instead opened the small package that the guardian of the Hall of Heroic Spirits had given him. Inside were two scrolls, a few bottles of potions, a large metal piece that looked like a fish scale, and a pillar that released a silver light.
[Scout Scroll]: A scroll with the ability to scout. After using it, it can obtain detailed information on monsters that are not higher than you by 30 levels.
These two scrolls were both scout scrolls. When he was able to defeat the Greedy Giant Toad, the scrolls played an important role. If he hadn't scouted out all of the Greedy Giant Toad's attack methods and weaknesses, perhaps he would have died under the claws of the Greedy Giant Toad at the beginning of the battle. Therefore, he was very clear about the value and importance of these two scrolls.
[Jade Water Fairy Scale]: Special item, a scale dropped from the high level Fairy Beast Jade Water Fish Emperor. When placed in front of the body, it can completely block a level 50 Celestial grade or below melee attack, and can also repel the attacker far away. Can be used 5 times. Remaining number of times: 5/5.
Completely block 5 close range attacks!! This was a magical item that could save one's life when facing a fatal blow, and it could even save one's life up to five times! It wasn't an exaggeration to say that with this thing on him, when facing a powerful enemy that could kill him in one blow, it was equivalent to having five extra lives!
[Water of the Moon Deities Spring]: Celestial Grade Recovery Potion, obtained from the Moon Deities Spring blessed by the Moon Deities. After use, HP and MP are instantly restored to full. Cooldown: 3 seconds. Effective only on players.
Ling Chen: "…"
Without a doubt, this was the Mystic Moon world's highest grade and ultimate recovery potion. It could instantly recover all of one's HP and MP, and the cooldown time was only 3 seconds. He was at the lowest level of the game, yet he had obtained the highest level potion. He couldn't help but think of the cold-faced middle-aged man in the Hall of Heroic Spirits. He actually gave him such an astonishing help! It seemed that he sincerely hoped that he could pass this trial.
And looking at the last thing he gave him, Ling Chen finally knew what a generous gift this middle-aged man had given him … He probably even brought out his family's wealth.
[Soul Shield Orb]: Type: Energy Orb, Grade: Celestial, Attribute: None, Effect: Reduces any damage received by 20%.
Ling Chen was shocked … The orb in his hand that was releasing a silver light was actually an Energy Orb!!
The Novice Village Chief had told him that Energy Orbs, even in Forgotten Continent, were still extremely precious things. Ordinary people might not even see a real Energy Orb in their entire lives. And this middle-aged man from the Hall of Heroic Spirits, he actually gave him a real Energy Orb!
That black-clothed middle-aged man's strength was mysterious and unfathomable, but this Energy Orb was definitely an extremely precious thing to him, and he actually gave it to him just like that.
Ling Chen suddenly felt that the cold-faced middle-aged man was incomparably cute.
Actually, in the Hall of Heroic Spirits, when Ling Chen first made the decision to choose the first pillar in the middle, the black-clothed middle-aged man was only puzzled, and even deeply disappointed. But, during this period of time that Ling Chen was preparing, after calming down, he silently thought, true experts, don't they need this kind of determination to advance even if they know that there is a 90% chance of survival … Maybe only those who have this kind of determination, who have experienced this kind of trial, have the qualifications to become peak experts … A person who makes a mediocre choice, how can he become a non-mediocre person.
So, he decided to be impulsive for once … Giving all of his most precious things to this extraordinarily talented person, hoping that he could really create a miracle.
Reducing any damage by a whole 20% … Obviously this included physical damage, and also magic damage! The power of the Energy Orb once again manifested itself in front of Ling Chen's eyes. With an Energy Orb on him, his strength would receive a qualitative leap, this saying wasn't the slightest bit false. With this Energy Orb on him, he would have another life-saving talisman when facing powerful enemies.
But …
Holding the Spirit Shield Orb, Ling Chen's gaze was fixed on that annotation of "Attribute: None".
This was an Energy Orb with no attribute.
And … in the novice village, the final awakening condition of the beast egg that taotie had entrusted to him, was precisely an Energy Orb with no attribute.
Should he use this Energy Orb to awaken it?
Without a doubt, with this Energy Orb on him, all damage reduction by 20%, it would be of great help to him in passing this trial, as well as in facing all kinds of enemies in the future. Even the beginner skills of shield guards didn't have this kind of powerful damage reduction effect. This was a Protection Orb that could be used until the day the game ended. If it was used as a commodity, it would undoubtedly sell for a sky-high price that would frighten people to death.
But, on the other hand …
Taotie had said that this beast egg was entrusted to him by a "great beast". A beast that could be called a "great beast" by the ancient divine beast taotie, its ability was at least no less than taotie's!!
Such a beast … such a beast's descendant, how powerful would it be? If it hatched now, and then followed him, the effect it would have, might far surpass that of an Energy Orb. Or maybe … the descendant of that "great beast" would have the might of a Mysterious God when it was born, casually taking a breath, all the obstacles in front of it would be destroyed without a trace.
But, if the hatching failed, or the hatched beast simply didn't have time to awaken any power … in this trial process, he would have lost a powerful defense for no reason. It was very possible that the trial that could have been passed, would fail because of the lack of this powerful Protection Orb.
Ling Chen hesitated for a moment … in the end, should he use the Energy Orb in his hand to hatch the beast egg that taotie entrusted to him right now?
After silently hesitating for a long time, Ling Chen still didn't make a decision. He took out the four Energy Crystals that he bought in the Azure Dragon City Taoist Shop, and then, one by one, embedded them into the holes of Lunar Scourge.
"Ding … 'Elementary Strength Crystal' successfully embedded, your physical attack power + 6%."
"Ding … 'Elementary Pierce Crystal' successfully embedded, your pierce rate + 4%."
"Ding … 'Elementary Speed Crystal' successfully embedded, your movement speed + 6%."
"Ding … You have already equipped 'Heartless Orb', you cannot equip crystals or orbs of the same type, 'Elementary Critical Crystal' embedding failed."
Ling Chen: "I …"
People will always make mistakes, holding the Elementary Critical Crystal in his hand that he spent 200 gold to buy, Ling Chen knew that his 200 gold was wasted! He prepared in too much of a hurry, and actually forgot that energy crystals and orbs of the same type could not be equipped, he bought a Elementary Critical Crystal for nothing!!
After being depressed, he had no choice but to put away the Elementary Critical Crystal, and pick up the "Spirit Shield Orb". Right now, his Lunar Scourge already has 6 different crystals or orbs installed, this is a number that ordinary players currently don't even dare to think about!
If the Spirit Shield Orb is installed, it will be the 7th one.
The hand holding the Spirit Shield Orb stopped in the air above Lunar Scourge, not falling. After nearly a minute of silence, he finally removed his hand, and then crouched down, taking out the beast egg that Tao Tie entrusted to him from his bag, and placed it in front of him.
It was the size of a soccer ball, and its entire body was grey, as if it was made of grey stone.
"I hope, you won't disappoint me!"
While muttering, Ling Chen held the Spirit Shield Orb and reached forward, touching the Spirit Shield Orb on top of the grey beast egg.
Immediately, a grey light faintly flickered on top of the beast egg, and a strange feeling came from Ling Chen's hand. He subconsciously loosened his palm, and suddenly discovered that the Spirit Shield Orb had already been enveloped by a grey light, and then, as if it was being swallowed, it slowly disappeared on the surface of the egg.
The moment the Spirit Shield Orb was completely swallowed, the grey light also completely disappeared. Everything, just like that, fell into silence.
Ling Chen: "…"
What's going on? Didn't Tao Tie say that as long as there was a non-elemental energy orb, the creature inside would be able to hatch? Why was there still no movement!?
Could it be that what Tao Tie said was false … Or, Tao Tie's own judgment was wrong!?
With the Spirit Shield Orb in his body, he would have an additional layer of tenacious protection. At this time, offering it to this beast egg was completely gambling … Gambling that the creature hatched from this egg could give him more help than the Spirit Shield Orb. However, the Spirit Shield Orb had been swallowed, and this beast egg didn't even have the slightest movement.
Ling Chen's face twitched. However, an ancient mythological beast should not deceive him. He calmed down and patiently waited, hoping that the creature inside was only absorbing the power of the Spirit Shield Orb, and would come out immediately.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes …
A full five minutes passed, and there was still no movement from the beast egg. It was like a stone egg without a living creature. Ling Chen's patience was finally worn out. With a depressed sigh, he stretched out his hand, preparing to take back the beast egg.
Cha …
The moment Ling Chen's hand was about to touch the beast egg, a slender crack accompanied by a slight cracking sound appeared on the grey eggshell.
Ling Chen's right hand suddenly stopped.
