The carriers of the players that fell from the Book of Creation seemed to be able to move and were not fixed in one place. Many times, when the Void Creatures just found them, they would suddenly escape as if they were psychic and disappear into the sky.
The concept of distance and time in this area that was eroded by the turbulence of the stars had become a little blurry.
Things that looked like they were just inches away from them could not be approached after running for hundreds of kilometers. Human perception could not detect the passage of time. Originally, Li Xiang could estimate the approximate time by counting, but now that his perception was blurred, he quickly lost the accuracy of his counting.
Ellie indicated that she felt the same way. The crack in the void was slowly mending, and all kinds of bright shooting stars were constantly drifting across the horizon. The entire sky was filled with stars of various colors, and the dark clouds from before had disappeared at some point.
The two of them met a few carriers of the players in the following time, but unfortunately, they were all able to escape.
There were also alien life forms from other worlds that entered this space. After a few battles, Ellie had completely adapted to her new body.
Li Xiang finally understood how lucky it was that the carrier of the players that were taken away by Ming Xu did not move.
"The characters of the ancient book … It's not a good thing for the carrier of the players to not move. It means that it thinks that it's so strong that no one can easily control it, so it chose not to move." Ellie smiled, "Your companion will not be in danger in the Void World as long as I'm here. She can even use the power of the Void World to try to fuse with the carrier of the players, although the success rate is not very high. "
"It better be as you say. If she doesn't return after I become a player, then you should know what will happen to you. "Li Xiang replied coldly.
He could understand why Ellie was unwilling to let Ming Xu go.
If Ming Xu returned without a trump card in his hand, she would not be at ease.
In this aspect, she was very similar to humans.
"Don't worry, maybe this trip to the Void World is a good thing for her. The flow of time in the Void World is extremely slow, so she has enough time to try to fuse with the carriers of the players. It's much better than us not being able to find one. " Ellie was a little discouraged. She had thought that it wouldn't be too difficult to obtain a host from a player. After all, she didn't need to fuse with it like a human. She just needed to swallow it.
However, the reality was that the two of them hadn't seen any new player carriers even after killing a few alien lifeforms. It was the same for those guys as well. None of them had obtained a player carrier.
Ellie had lived in the Void World for countless years, but she had never really interacted with humans or other life forms. The more time they spent together, the more Li Xiang could feel the innocence and innocence of a little girl in her.
"I say, why aren't you wearing any clothes …" Li Xiang was silent for a long time before he finally voiced his doubts. Although it was pleasing to the eye to have such a flirtatious beauty by his side, at the same time, the attractiveness of the opposite sex would also bring him endless trouble — not to mention a high-level Void Being like Ellie.
She looked at Li Xiang in confusion. "Why do you have to wear it?"
"Just now, because of you, I've already defeated the sixth enemy who coveted you. Do you understand? I'm very tired, and I don't want to waste my energy for no reason. "Li Xiang facepalmed, realizing that she might not know the concept of shame.
He simply explained.
Ellie suddenly understood and immediately shrugged her shoulders. "So what? Isn't it the instinct of life forms to pursue reproduction? If they want to get me, as long as they have enough power, there's nothing wrong with that. Why should I hide myself because of their instinct? "
"Anyway, get a set of clothes and wear it. Otherwise, I'm going to act on my own." Li Xiang was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.
Ellie found it harder and harder to understand this human's thoughts. However, as she went deeper, the number of Void Creatures she could command decreased. She wouldn't give up on a good partner like Li Xiang so easily.
"Alright, I'll try." Ellie didn't take off a set of clothes like he had imagined. Instead, she slowly fumbled around and actually used the striped tattoos on her body to fuse together a set of navy blue suit and crimson short skirt similar to Ming Xu's.
This was the only human girl's outfit she had seen so far.
What surprised Li Xiang was the plasticity of her body. She could change freely, and she could even mold her character as she wished.
He had to admit that Ellie was indeed the perfect descendant that the Void Lord had painstakingly created. She had countless treasures on her body. Although she didn't know how to use them properly, just this talent alone was enough for her to crush countless human geniuses.
This was probably the advantage of a race.
On this evening, the two of them who were wreaking havoc in this area finally found a new player carrier.
However, the scene in front of them was too shocking. Even Ellie, who claimed to be knowledgeable, couldn't control herself. She was stunned for a long time and couldn't say a word.
In front of the two of them was a long black river that was slowly flowing with thick black light.
[Assassination River].
For some reason, this unfamiliar name appeared in Li Xiang's mind when he saw this river.
In the void, a black droplet fell and created ripples on the long river. Above the assassination river, in the river, under the river, on the river's surface, there were countless assassination tattoos floating, floating, and lying quietly.
The assassination tattoos that they had been searching for and couldn't get before were like cheap goods here. They could be seen everywhere, and there seemed to be a bunch of them.
The problem was, with so many assassination tattoos gathered together, none of them escaped. They just quietly stood in front of them, motionless.
These diagrams seemed to be clearly visible before his eyes. Every single fine line was incomparably profound and intertwined together, causing one to be unable to help but fall deeply into it and be unable to extricate themselves.
"This, this …" Ellie couldn't help but take a step forward and reach out to grab an assassination tattoo floating on the assassination river. However, her hand went through the assassination tattoo just like that. It was as if the tattoo was just an illusion, a mirage that couldn't be touched at all.
She tried a few more times in confusion. In the end, she decided to jump into the assassination river, but she failed again.
She could clearly see the river as if it was real, but it brushed past Ellie in an instant. It was like an illusion that she could not touch.
"Damn it, how can this be!" Ellie didn't give up. She tried a few more times but still failed.
It was too uncomfortable to be able to see but not touch.
However, Li Xiang's feelings were completely different from hers.
He only felt that the assassination river in front of him was slowly rising and falling as if it had a life of its own. It was cheering, joyful, and calling him in.
Li Xiang's consciousness was completely immersed in it.
The assassination tattoo was born from the original body of the disaster. It was said that it was imprisoned in the player's body. The power and everything of the dominator was fused into the player's body, becoming a part of the assassination tattoo.
Due to being on the disaster side, assassins were the most low-key among the player classes. They rarely showed themselves. Compared to the well-known Mages, who were guardians of a region, assassins would only appear when they were carrying out a mission. After the mission was completed, they would quietly leave, hiding their achievements and fame.
Among the three major player classes, assassins were the type of players who were the most affected by the disaster. If they lived for too long, the blood on their hands would push them towards the disaster side.
This was not uncommon.
Usually, in the later stages of the assassin class, many would choose to quietly go to the Great Wall of Disaster and dedicate their last moments to the human side. If they continued to delay, the assassination tattoo would backfire and they would basically fall into the disaster side.
Of course, this was something that Li Xiang's seniors had secretly told him.
Being a player didn't mean that they had transcended. This was something that they had been told early on.
However, there were still countless people who resolutely walked on this path.
Li Xiang slowly sank into the assassination river. Beside him, Ellie watched in surprise as his body slowly merged with the river that she couldn't touch at all.
When she looked again, his body had already fallen into the assassination river!
"He went in?" Ellie reached out to touch Li Xiang. Just like before, she couldn't touch him.
Li Xiang, who had fallen into the assassination river, opened his eyes and found that he was already in the river. Although he was immersed in the water, he didn't feel any discomfort.
All sorts of assassination tattoo could be seen all around him. It was as if he could reach out and grab them.
"These aren't the assassination tattoo I'm looking for." Li Xiang didn't know why, but he suddenly had a clear feeling about the assassination tattoo he was looking for. Seeing the countless assassination tattoo flowing past him, he didn't feel moved. Instead, he continued to swim towards the bottom of the river.
As expected, there was something at the bottom of the assassination river that attracted him.
Li Xiang swam to the bottom of the river and finally saw the things buried in the soil.
Bronze chests were embedded in the bottom of the river. Most of the chests only revealed half of their bodies. The surface was engraved with beautiful runes, and the inside of the chests were the assassination tattoo.
These assassination tattoo were completely different from the ones floating outside. If it weren't for these bronze chests, the murderous aura would have instantly filled the assassination river.
He looked down and found that there were a total of thirteen bronze chests.
Each chest had a different rune on it, and it was difficult for him to choose.
The first bronze chest had a silver dagger. The handle of the dagger was covered in spikes. It was hard to imagine what it would be like to hold such a weapon in one's hand.
The second bronze chest had a resplendent crown on it. Instead of gemstones, it was inlaid with terrifying and sinister human faces.
Li Xiang looked at them one by one. The runes on the first ten bronze chests were all strange and scary. They matched the description of the assassination tattoo coming from the dominator. He didn't think for too long. His eyes landed on the last three bronze chests. There was something there that really attracted him.
Earlier, Shadow had told him that it was best to follow his intuition and heart when choosing the assassination tattoo. If he had the chance to choose, he had to choose the one that was most suitable.
Because the assassination tattoo came from the dominator, they had all kinds of strange abilities. If it went against his training, then he would be greatly affected when he became a player.
Looking at the three bronze chests, Li Xiang finally fixed his eyes on the last chest that was almost completely buried at the bottom of the river.
Only a small part of it was exposed. The runes on its surface could be vaguely seen. It was a pure white sniper rifle. This color immediately distinguished it from the other bronze chests.
Normally, the assassination tattoo was based on the image of a dominator. The sniper rifle was obviously a modern human creation. It had nothing to do with the dominator.
However, it gave Li Xiang a feeling that he had to have it.
"It's you." Li Xiang didn't hesitate anymore. He followed his heart and dug out the bronze chest from the bottom of the river.
As the sand was dug up, the bronze chest's full appearance slowly appeared. There were all kinds of strange runes carved on its surface. There were also many strange mechanical parts that even he had never seen before.
This bronze chest was connected by several heavy black chains. If he wanted to pull it open and fish it out, he had to cut these chains.
Li Xiang pulled out the Interpreter and slashed hard. He was shocked to find that the blade went straight through the chains. It couldn't touch them.
Other than himself, none of the items on him could really enter the assassination river.
"Sacrifice, you must sacrifice!"
[In order to obtain the assassination tattoo, you must sacrifice something you own!]
An ancient and vicissitude voice suddenly appeared in his mind, guiding Li Xiang.
"Sacrifice?" Li Xiang thought for a while and immediately understood.
Becoming a player meant that he had to shatter everything he had cultivated so far and reshape them into something new.
Absorbing the magic runes required the magician to shatter the core, remove the magic, and break down the magic circuit. Absorbing the assassination tattoo required the magician to remove all external power and sacrifice.
For example, weapons and equipment.
Li Xiang decisively took off the Pandemonium set and placed it on top of the bronze chest.
Soon, they slowly dissolved and seeped into the chest. The flickering runes gradually flickered, and the chains also showed signs of loosening.
He didn't stop. He placed everything he could sacrifice on top of the chest, including the two pistols that he had made himself.
In the end, Li Xiang only had the Interpreter left in his hand. The sealed bronze chest finally started to shake, and the chains broke layer by layer.
This process was very torturous, and it was easy to feel fear and pain.
He relied on these weapons and equipment. If he sacrificed all of them and failed to obtain the assassination tattoo, it would be a huge blow to his strength. It would be unbearable.
However, to become a player, he had to be willing to sacrifice.
Countless magicians had participated in the player's test repeatedly, collecting large amounts of resources to sacrifice or reshape. Every failure was a blow, but they would definitely try again next time.
The chest was about to open, but it stopped at the last moment.
There was also a chain wrapped around it. There was a glimmer of light inside, as if urging Li Xiang to make the final sacrifice.
He looked at the Interpreter in his hand, hesitated, and finally put it on top of the chest.
Even if he became a player and couldn't obtain a Disaster weapon, these high-quality magic weapons were still very good combat equipment. If he sacrificed all of them and failed, Li Xiang's strength would be greatly reduced.
However, he didn't want to give up this assassination tattoo.
The Interpreter turned into steam and dissipated in the air. The last chain broke!
