My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 288 opens with the Legend of the Outer Gods!
[Unstable mutation takes effect! ]

In the pre-war preparation space that was like the vast starry sky, Xia Lin opened his eyes and heard a familiar prompt tone.

Opening his personal information list and watching his skills mutate rapidly and finally freeze, Xia Lin sighed and shook his head.

There are no variants worth keeping.

However, he did not close the personal information panel immediately, but instead moved his eyes upwards to look at his own attributes.

【Name: Xia Lin】

【Level: 8】

[Racial value: 43 (originally 31)]

【Basic attributes: 700w. 】

The improvement of racial value comes from the breath of the abyss.

The Outer World Project has not yet been completed, but the Miniature Abyss has already become Xia Lin's back garden.

With the combination of Abyss Breath + East Wind Lord, Xia Lin raised his racial value to 43 points in a month. After fair trade balancing, the basic attributes reached a neat 700w point.

The racial value is improved a lot, but the attributes are not improved much.

It just barely made up for the losses in the Black Flag Amber Zone.

During this month, Xia Lin did not enter any ashes area.

——The speed of brushing attributes and racial values in the Miniature Abyss is not necessarily slower than entering the Ash Zone.

Given the situation, Xia Lin did not dare to rashly enter the Cinder Zone, for fear of being tricked by some unknown means.

Shaking his head and no longer thinking about these off-field factors, Xia Lin focused all his energy on the assessment of the Cinder Zone.

A grand sound echoed from the depths of the starry sky.

【Teamwork card is effective.】

Just as this prompt sounded, another five rays of light emerged out of nowhere and transformed into five figures that appeared beside Xia Lin.

Gentle, Lin Meiniang, Gap-toothed Beggar, Li Yuan, Kong Youwu.

After a brief look at each other, everyone nodded slightly, then turned around and continued to look forward, waiting for the notification sound of the new Jhin area.

The prompt sounded soon.

[Forced Hunting Card is in effect! ]

[Forced Hunting Card...]

Five identical beeps in a row!
This means that five different teams followed in, and their target was Xia Lin!

It was hard to guess which of the five teams were friends and which were enemies. It was possible that among the five teams following Xia Lin, there were the Cinder Walkers of the Three Phases Gang...

In short, there is not much you need to know about bait.

The personal relationship between Bai Yao and Xia Lin has not reached the point where they can tell each other everything they know.

The reminder sounded again.

【Battlefield Designation Card is effective! 】

[This assessment area was forcibly designated as a virtual area: the Legend of the Outer Gods! ]

The legend of the outer gods and heroes?
What is this again?
Xia Lin looked at the others blankly, and finally set his gaze on Kong Youwu.

As a direct descendant of the Three Phases Gang and a human of Sequence 56, Kong Youwu automatically became the captain of this temporary team.

Facing Xia Lin's gaze, Kong Youwu's ghostly face showed a trace of difficulty, and then he shook his head.

"I know what the Outer Gods and Immortals Heroes is. It's a very popular novel in the universe... We'll talk about this after we enter the Ashes."

"As for this battlefield designation card, it's obviously not for us to use, but for our opponent."

The biggest enemy of Xia Lin and the Sanxiang Gang is the Tiandao Creator.

They used battlefield designation cards to pull the battlefield to the aura-rich Ashes area to create a home advantage.

Before Kong Youwu could say more, new prompt sounds came one after another.

[Task type designation card takes effect! ]

[The mission type is forcibly locked to: Survival! ]

【Delay card takes effect! 】

[The time limit for the main mission has been greatly extended. 】

[Identity replacement card is effective! ]

[Someone has replaced the identity of a key plot character in this ember zone. ]

【Virtual Embers Expansion Card is now available! 】

[The area of this ash zone has been greatly expanded.]

Xia Lin said that this wave really opened his eyes!

There were dozens of cards with different functions, which dazzled Xia Lin and amazed him.

The only pity is that these are all methods used by other teams...

Just after the chaotic prompt sound of the function card taking effect ended, the pre-war preparation space suddenly collapsed.

The six people turned into six colorful torrents and flew into the distance.

……

"Little Er, drink up!"

"Here comes the objective person, please wait a moment."

"Bang" "duang".

Lai Fu Restaurant, noisy with voices.

When Xia Lin opened his eyes again, this was what he saw and heard.

At this moment, he was sitting at a dining table, and five teammates around him entered the venue at the same time.

Just as the wine cup was overturned, the wine dripped onto the table and twisted into words.

【Welcome to the Sea Selection Battlefield 2: The Legend of the Outer Gods. 】

【Note: This ember zone is a virtual ember zone.】

【Note: All kinds of permission cards have come into effect. 】

Breathe in, and the air flowing into your mouth and nose is sweet.

The air is full of spiritual energy, and mortals living in this world for a long time can live to be a hundred years old.

Immortal cultivators can also achieve stronger effects when they take action in this ashes area.

But this is not a good thing for Xia Lin.

As he looked at the desktop, more text came into view.

[The opening period of the Ember Zone is six months. 】

[The extension card is effective. The opening period of this ember zone has been extended to 10 years! ]

Six months turned into ten years! ?
[The main quest has been released. ]

[Main mission: Survival.]

[Survival: Survive in this ember zone until the mission time limit expires! ]

[Task success reward: 1 ranking battle points. ]

[Penalty for mission failure: None. 】

【The clearance mission was not triggered.】

[The side quest was not triggered. ]

"We're in trouble."

Just after the six-man team finished reading the opening description of the Jhin zone, Kong Youwu immediately spoke up and said so.

"I know the novel "Legend of the Outer Gods and Heroes"... um, how should I put it..."

Kong Youwu's face showed difficulty again. Seeing this, Lin Meiniang beside him smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

"What's wrong with that?"

After saying that, he looked at the others, especially the confused Xia Lin, and explained.

"This novel is a smear book... the one who is smearing is none other than my Super Star."

……

There are real ashes and virtual ashes in the ashes dungeon.

Some virtual Amber Zones are randomly compiled by the Amber Zone System, while other virtual Amber Zones are taken from various literary works.

The current assessment, Embers 2: Legend of the Outer Gods, belongs to the latter.

"In this book, this immortal side world called the Great World of Primordial Desolation is invaded by an alien god... Well, this alien god is called Black Star, a warrior who has the ability to devour the world."

Also Black Star.

You can just call it Chaoxing and that's it. It's like no one can tell the difference...

“And this mission mode is also a huge pitfall.”

"According to the plot development in the novel, in about eight years, the final battle will come. Black Star and the Primordial Immortal Venerable, well, that is, the protagonist of this book, will fight and destroy the Great World of Primordial Desolation. In the end, the Primordial Immortal Venerable will win and reshape the world with his supreme magic power."

Then the problem arises.

First of all, this Cinders area does not seal the strength of the Walkers, but it is indeed beneficial to the Immortal Professionals.

Secondly, the main quest requires everyone to survive for ten years, but in the ninth year after the story begins, the world is destroyed by a decisive battle...

What about the Immortal Lord recreating the world? Just listen for fun. If they can't survive this battle, the Walker in the Ashes will most likely die without a burial place.

Finally, there are those messy permission cards.

"It is possible that someone has replaced Lin Fan's identity..."

Kong Youwu said this, and then explained: "Lin Fan is the protagonist of this world, and he is also the original immortal nine years later."

"And right now, Lin Fan is probably still seeking to become a disciple of the Dao Sect."

In just a few words, Xia Lin also had a general understanding of the situation in this ashes area.

Feeling the rapidly dissipating mental energy, Xia Lin couldn't help but sigh.

"First of all, I have a problem... We need to find a spacious place to serve as our base camp."

On the thumb of his right hand, the soldier cave was madly absorbing Xia Lin's mental power.

There are too many Bomb Boys inside, causing the loss of mental power to be too rapid.

The soldier hiding cave is indeed not that useful.

Especially in the current situation.

It is necessary to bring it with you into the venue, this combat power is indispensable.

But if we release them casually, the noise will be too loud and will definitely alert the enemy.

If it is not released, Xia Lin's mental power will be lost too quickly, thus affecting his combat effectiveness.

"You may be anxious...but don't be anxious yet."

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Because compared to your problem, we have another problem that we must solve now."

He turned around and looked behind him, and saw that since some time ago, all the diners in the restaurant had fixed their eyes on these six people.

Some people slipped away quietly, but others looked at them unkindly.

Kong Youwu slapped his head...

"I forgot to say that."

"In the novel, the natives of this world are extremely hostile to outsiders, the so-called extraterritorial demons. They only care about you and not me."

After saying that, he looked at everyone and said, "The extraterritorial demons here refer to all non-immortal occupations."

Among the six people present, none of them was a cultivator.

"And the strength of this native of the Cinders is outrageous..."

In the final battle between Black Star and Primordial Immortal, the Great Dao was completely wiped out.

"At the end of the original novel, the strength of these two people was at the twelfth level. In addition, there are a total of eight eleventh-level strongmen in the novel."

Xia Lin's mouth twitched.

"No, is this reasonable?"

Wenrou sighed softly: "In the real Ash Zone, this is unreasonable. But in the virtual Ash Zone, this is very reasonable."

In reality, people at level 11 and 12 are all well-known figures, but this group of people rarely appear in the real Jhin zone.

But in the virtual Ash Zone, the strength of the natives is entirely based on the Ash Zone system's fabrication, and it is not impossible for a level 12 virtual native to appear.

——Yes, the Ash Zone system created by the Six Pillars has this ability.

As the atmosphere in the restaurant became increasingly heavy and depressing, Kong Youwu shook his head and said, "Don't do anything. It's better to leave first."

As he spoke, energy that resembled a mixture of blood and ghost energy emanated from Kong Youwu's body and quickly enveloped the others.

Xia Lin did not resist, but cooperated with the ghost energy covering his whole body.

A strange light and shadow suddenly flashed through his eyes. It was blurry and chaotic, like a ghost, and it disappeared in a flash.

When the surrounding scene became clear again, the six members of the team had already appeared in the wilderness.

"Wait for news, and then solve Xia Lin's problem."

Kong Youwu looked at Xia Lin and signaled Xia Lin to hold on and not to worry.

Xia Lin nodded in understanding.

Kong Youwu has the contact information of other teams.

……

At the moment when the six-member team entered, hundreds of rays of light appeared simultaneously in every corner of this ashes area.

There were five teams tracking Xia Lin, and then there were other people who were tracking Xia Lin.

Just as Xia Lin had described it before: Ouroboros.

Big fish chase small fish, small fish chase shrimps, and the head and tail are connected in a circle, resulting in the number of Ashes Walkers entering this time being even greater than that of Xia Lin’s first assessment in the Ashes Zone!

And it is extremely strong!
Seeking the Dao Sect.

The protagonist of the Cinders Zone named Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. There was a divine light in his eyes, but it quickly faded away.

[The identity replacement card is effective. You have replaced the identity of Lin Fan, the protagonist of the Jin District. ]

[Note: Since Lin Fan has a very high status, you will encounter the following restrictions after using the identity replacement card. ]

[One: You must follow the character traits of Lin Fan in the original novel, put chivalry first, respect your teacher and honor your parents. If you violate these rules, you will be retaliated against!]

[Two: You must follow the development of the original plot and must not actively destroy the original plot line, otherwise you will be backfired! ]

[Three: Your power has been completely sealed. You cannot use your original skill system in this ember area.]

Human sequence 10, Lin Xiantian, slowly narrowed his eyes.

“The restrictions are quite significant.”

The logic of action is limited, and the strength is also limited.

It seems that this identity replacement card is not a good thing, but the subsequent prompt sound made Lin Xiantian laugh out loud.

[As the plot progresses, you will gradually improve your strength according to the development of the plot. But please note that the strength gained with this identity is temporary and cannot be taken away from this ember area.]

Just this sentence is enough to make up for all the limitations!
Because at the end of this Ashes Zone, Lin Fan was a genuine level 12 warrior!
This power is enough to crush everyone. More importantly, it can allow Lin Fan to experience the power of the twelfth level, which is the realm of Immortal Venerable, in advance, which will be of great benefit to his future practice.

"Even compared to this, Xia Lin's reward is not that important."

Conceiving the mighty power of the Immortal Lord, Lin Xiantian, no, Lin Fan's eyes were filled with fascination.

But the bounty on Xia Lin must be taken if possible...why not do something that is convenient?
Just as there was a knock on the door, Lin Xiantian, who had transformed into Lin Fan, stood up and opened the door.

Outside the door, nine teammates who had also used identity replacement cards had gathered, all of them were outer disciples of Xundao Sect.

Compared to Lin Xiantian, their status is much worse than that of others. They are not even considered as supporting roles in this area.

On the one hand, this means fewer restrictions.

On the other hand, there is also a distinction between the primary and secondary, strong and weak.

Human sequence 43.

Eldar sequence 82.

Five Elements Sequence 49.

Demon race sequence 76.

Looking at this group of temporary teammates and subordinates, Lin Xiantian nodded slightly.

"Keep a low profile and maintain the normal development of the plot."

“That’s our plan.”

Just by doing this, Lin Xiantian can achieve all his goals.

……

The prehistoric world is already vast, and the area has been further increased with the help of the Virtual Ashes expansion card.

It is difficult to describe how wide and vast this round and flat continent is... All I can say is that even a falling star would be insignificant compared to the size of the great world.

And right in the uninhabited area at the edge of the ancient world, there really were stars falling from the sky.

The scorching flames surged like a tsunami, and as birds and beasts fled for their lives, sword lights appeared from the falling stars.

"Xiao Feng, you!"

The desperate roar shook the earth, but just by saying the enemy's name, the powerful man who summoned the scorching sun was beheaded and died.

The flame was suppressed by the rules of the world and slowly went out.

As the flames died down, a man in casual clothes holding a divine sword sheathed the sword, looked at the headless corpse at his feet, and shook his head slowly.

“The purity is too low.”

The deceased was Sequence 16 of the Fiery Sun Clan, a Cinder Walker from the side of the Heavenly Maker, and one of the five waves of people chasing after Xia Lin.

But it couldn't block Xiao Feng's sword!
After all, one person is only Sequence 16 of a small clan, while Xiao Feng is from one of the big clans in the universe, the human race, Sequence 8!

Xiao Feng counted with his fingers.

"Old Bao and I are two groups, the guys from the Lieyang tribe are one group, and there are two more groups besides them..."

"So who could it be? Those boss-level guys are unlikely to show up. After all, they still have to conserve their energy to save face for their own Six Pillars boss. After all, only Lin Xiantian will probably come and get involved..."

Just as Xiao Feng finished muttering this, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the sky.

With a flick of his wrist, the magic sword was unsheathed again. Amidst the surging blood, Xiao Feng looked solemn as if facing a powerful enemy.

"Uh, I almost forgot about these guys."

Just as he finished muttering to himself, a figure appeared in front of Xiao Feng in the distance.

He was three meters tall, wearing a black combat suit that was like a tights, had a bald head, and fairly handsome features.

But his eyes were blank and out of focus, as if he was wandering in space.

NO.259.

Human sequence 7.

Limit breaker.

Come specially for Xiao Feng!

……

Jinguan Territory, Jinguan City under the Jinguan Sect.

Ten figures, each using their own methods, fled madly. The Golden Light City was filled with spiritual energy, and a Golden Immortal (level ten) master took action, vowing to kill the extraterritorial demon!

Until the ten figures dispersed, a kaleidoscope-like passage suddenly appeared outside the city. The clown came out of it and looked at the Golden Immortal who was chasing his teammates away, and let out a strange laugh.

This time, the Joker also enters the scene.

But the teammates were a temporary wild volleyball team.

There is a wanted order for Xia Lin that has been sent to the cosmic black market. Naturally, there are also Ashes Walkers who do not belong to the side of the Heavenly Dao Creator and have taken a fancy to this bounty. They have organized people to track down Xia Lin and try to see if they can make a big profit.

Seeing the situation, the clown joins the team.

But they did not come to protect or hunt Xia Lin.

But...

Just after the clown finished laughing, footsteps suddenly sounded beside him.

Turning his head to look at the source of the footsteps, he saw a figure in blood-red armor walking towards him in big strides.

The Bishop of War, Xing Fanwu.

Their eyes met and they nodded in unison, as if they had known each other for a long time and had entered this ashes area with the same goal in mind.

……

Didn't wait long.

Xia Lin's mental power limit had just dropped by 1500 points when the communicator in Kong Youwu's hand rang.

A low voice came from inside.

"Come find me."

Kong Youwu hurriedly said, "Xia Lin needs a more spacious place."

Xia Lin immediately interrupted, "It's a place big enough to hold dozens of planets."

The teammates turned to look at Xia Lin in astonishment...

Brother, your request is a bit exaggerated.

Unexpectedly, the deep male voice in the communicator did not care.

"That's right, I actually have such a place here..."

"Come and join me now."

After the call was disconnected, Xia Lin looked at Kong Youwu again.

“Is it reliable?”

There was no need for Kong Youwu to explain, Wenrou had already smiled.

"Bao Bowen, a direct subordinate of the Three Phases Gang, human sequence 14, must be reliable."

Xia Lin raised his eyebrows and felt relieved.

With Nelson around, Xia Lin also has a general understanding of the human race's sequence-level powerhouses.

Because each high-ranking sequence has its own mountain, and they are all potential seeds carefully cultivated by the Six Pillars, the strength gap between the top five in the human sequence is not that big.

Among them, on the side of the Lord of Heaven, two were in the top five of the sequence, one was the King of Kings, one was the Demon Emperor, and one was the Super Star.

There is no need to mention the Original Dark Side and the Old Ones, as both of them are not normal.

And this is only the human race sequence. The high-ranking sequences of other races generally follow the same logic - there seems to be no lone wolves with no faction affiliation in the top five of any race's sequence.

Even if the top ten of each tribe are added together, among the thousands of Cinder Walkers, there are only three known lone wolves...

Let’s talk about this human sequence 14, Bao Bowen.

People nicknamed him All-Seeing Hands, not only because he is a warrior and is good at martial arts, but also because Bao Bowen's methods are so extraordinary that even in an unfamiliar area, he can often find the optimal solutions to tasks and various problems at a record-breaking speed.

Hence he has another nickname.

Bao has a solution.

Only a few minutes after entering the scene, Bao Youwei brought a proposal for a rendezvous and seemed to have found the local "soldier hiding cave" that Xia Lin needed.

The ghost emerged from Kong Youwu's body.

With the help of the ghost's space-travelling ability, the team members traveled thousands of miles in an instant. After only dozens of minutes, they crossed an unknown distance and appeared in a desolate wilderness with thin spiritual energy.

When the ghost den collapsed, another team appeared in front of everyone.

……

The leader naturally has a way to take over the blog post.

This man looked to be about thirty years old, plump and well-off.

Wearing a small jacket, he doesn't look like a warrior, but more like the owner of an ancient restaurant.

With a friendly smile on his face, when he saw Xia Lin and the others, he did not put on airs as a senior or a strong man. Instead, he came forward and exchanged greetings with Xia Lin and the others one by one.

There were four people behind him, who spoke softly and introduced the identities of these people to Xia Lin one by one - they were all low-sequence or quasi-sequence strongmen who were the direct descendants of the Three Phases Gang!
The lineup is quite luxurious.

Anyone in Bao Bowen's team or even Xia Lin's team is probably no weaker than Xia Lin.

What can Xia Lin say?

I can only sigh that my bounty is indeed huge.

Only after the greetings did Bao Bowen start talking about business.

"The main mission has a time limit of ten years. We really need a piece of land to manage for a while, otherwise some of our methods will not be able to be used."

For example, formations and traps.

Geographical advantages have always been important.

Xia Lin nodded in agreement.

He was so attracted by the soldier hiding cave that he felt like he was floating in ecstasy. He had to find a way to deal with this problem as soon as possible.

"I haven't found the perfect place yet, but I have a temporary option."

As he spoke, Bao Bowen pointed to the mountains in the distance.

"A hidden sect called Zhongnan Sect."

It seemed that everyone else had read the novel "Legend of the Outer Gods and Heroes". When they heard Bao Bowen mention Zhongnan Sect, their expressions immediately became strange.

Lin Meiniang on the side asked hesitantly.

"Is it the one who was killed by the protagonist Lin Fan in the second year after the plot began?"

Bao Bowen chuckled and said, "That's it."

(End of this chapter)
