[Current number of people online in the channel: 47]

After Lin Bo entered the dungeon communication channel, he went straight to the public documents. As expected, he saw the strategies left by the old players at a glance.

Having a guide to refer to makes him feel more at ease when going through dungeons. He spent a few minutes reading through it and immediately had a good idea of ​​what to do.

In the Sea Spirit Altar dungeon in the Demon Village, the enemies on the simple difficulty level are twenty crazy villagers.

The sixteen young and strong villagers were all strong and tough with strong vitality. Their only fatal weaknesses were their hearts and brains. They were armed with a variety of weapons, including bows and crossbows, muskets, spears, sickles, and dung forks.

There are also four old villagers who move slowly but emit shrill screams, causing players to experience negative states such as dizziness, confusion, and stiffness.

Suggestion: "After entering the dungeon, deal with the control monsters first. If you can kill them from a distance, don't get close. Once you enter the killing range, you will be killed by a roar.

"PS: The environment and terrain are complex, and the control monsters are hiding in corners. Please pay attention and don't act rashly.

"PS PS: The monster modeling is not very beautiful. Players with low mental tolerance should not enter unless you have no choice."

Lin Bo put on the wizard's face, then put on the iron body, checked the iron balls in the ammunition bag, and went to the third floor of the lighthouse to call the little king who was squatting on top of Iron Guard One.

The white bird swooped lightly into the air and landed on the black iron helmet on the night watchman's shoulder.

[Selected instance: Sea Spirit Altar in the Demon Summoning Village]

[Current Difficulty: Easy]

[Opening the dungeon portal, players please be prepared]

A deep purple vortex of space and time emerged and expanded from the air.

The moment you step through the portal, the scene in front of you suddenly changes.

The dim setting sun appeared behind the gloomy evening clouds, and the sky and the earth were shrouded in a bleak and dim light. Lin Bo stood on the outskirts of the small seaside village and sniffed the damp air. It seemed like it was going to rain.

The wind blowing past his ears warned him that the houses ahead, made of wood, stone and straw, were hiding dangerous creatures.

The door of a residential building on the right was open, and a tall, hooded man slowly walked out from the dark door frame, holding a sharp iron knife in his hand. He raised his lowered head, revealing his true face under the hood.

Large areas of skin on the man's face were ulcerated, and from his forehead to his neck, the exposed parts were covered with dense, barnacle-like, hard, black tumors. The openings of the tumors kept expanding, and crooked, deformed teeth could be seen inside.

Lin Bo immediately understood that this was what the dungeon guide said about the monster modeling not being very beautiful.

That is indeed not very beautiful.

The frantic villagers raised their knives towards the players who broke into the village, muttered rapid and vicious words, and rushed towards Lin Bo.

Faced with the hospitable locals, the wizard stood still, his eyes fixed on the murderer's weapon.

"(True Word) Steel."

The frantic villagers raised the steel knife above their heads and suddenly dropped it, placing it across its neck. Then they dragged and cut it violently. The sharp blade tore through the trachea and throat, got stuck in the gap between the cervical vertebrae, and with a slight twist, it spun the head off.

puff-

The deformed human fell to his knees, and the blood spurting out of his cavity was blue, like a basin of water poured on the ground, emitting a strong fishy smell.

[Network Tip: You have performed a fatal attack, and the judgment has passed! The enemy (evil servant) has fallen.]

Lin Bo went up to the corpse to observe it. Even though it had lost its head, its limbs still retained some mobility and were scratching and kicking around on the ground.

He raised his hand to touch it, but the flesh and blood of the evil slave remained silent to him. The symptoms of this villager were probably caused by being infected by some miraculous power.

Since he couldn't hear the voice of the tainted flesh, he couldn't control it with his True Name. The entire corpse was contaminated from head to toe by the evil force, even the bones and neurons were no exception. With his current abilities, it was beyond saving.

Lin Bo did not rush into the village, but explored the houses. After entering, he found the wife and son of the crazy villager. From the broken corpses, it can be judged that they were not contaminated during their lifetime and their appearance was no different from that of normal people.

Apart from that, no useful supplies were found. This was just a poor fishing village family.

Religious affinity is indeed deeply related to the power of miracles, but in the vast number of religious copies, elements such as cult, darkness, and taboos are also emerging in an endless stream.

After leaving the houses, we entered the winding village road. The doors and windows of the houses on both sides were basically closed. In the inconspicuous corners of the street where wheelbarrows, wooden boxes and other miscellaneous items were piled, there were often one or two crazy villagers hiding, who would suddenly attack when approached.

The usual malice in this copy design made Lin Bo nod repeatedly: It just fits.

Release the little seagull on your shoulder and let it take off to scout.

In this village where all the poultry and livestock have died, even a small seagull will cause hostility. When the elderly villagers noticed the white bird flying overhead and let out a shrill scream, the whole village was alarmed.

The villagers who had been hiding rushed into the streets and chased the little king, shooting and shooting arrows.

"Quack!" The little seagull flapped its wings mockingly and rose into the air, making several agile maneuvers to avoid the hot lead bullets.

Lin Bo controlled the steel skeleton and flew into the air. The little seagull lured the enemy out, saving him a lot of trouble.

As long as you are at a safe distance, the shrill howls of old villagers have no negative effects.

Looking down from the air, the four howling guys were located in the attic, on the roof, under the fence and in the alley.

Lin Bo took out four iron balls from the ammunition bag and ejected them one by one. The iron balls transformed into sharp arrows while moving in the air and shot straight towards the target.

A distant streak of silver light pierced the air, striking the shrunken, deformed head with a powerful blow. A blinding cold light pierced through the brain. Blue blood mixed with broken bones splattered the ground, and the noisy, vicious howl from the swollen, deformed throat abruptly ceased.

[Network Tip: You performed a critical attack, passed! The enemy (Devilmaw Servant) fell.]

Get rid of the controlling monster and your ears will be quiet.

At this time, the remaining evil servants had gathered together and were still chasing the little seagull. Lin Bo followed quietly from the air, shooting iron balls in his hand and killing them from the end of the group of monsters.

The heads of the evil slaves were moving up and down as they ran wildly. Under the mage's dynamic vision after learning the technique of the Toad Gazing at the Moon, they could not escape being locked on even if they shook their heads like rattles.

The Grim Reaper floating in the air called out the names one by one, and the crazy villagers died rapidly while running frantically. Those running in the front didn't even notice that their teammates behind them had all died.

But in just a dozen seconds, the remaining enemies in the dungeon were cleared out. Lin Bo decided to let Little Seagull help lure the monsters next time.

[Skill judgment successful, [Mantra Control - Flow] basic proficiency +1]

[Sophistication coefficient × 0.75 (carelessness)]

【Health status coefficient × 1.6 (excellent)】

[Combat Proficiency (Defeat the Enemy +0.5) (Brutal Sweep +1) (Terrorist Sudden Drop +1.5)]

Final calculation result: [Mantra Control - Style] proficiency +4.2

[Skill determination successful... Final calculation result: [Mantra Bending - Raw] Proficiency +4.2]

Although the spell power is not exhausted, a casting judgment is still given. The threshold for proficiency rewards in actual dungeon combat is still relatively loose.

Because the killing process was too easy, the subtlety coefficient was judged as carelessness, and because the killing was too fast, an additional combat bonus of Terrorist Sudden Drop was given. This can be considered a gain and loss.

The health coefficient increased to 1.6, because since Lin Bo renovated the lighthouse, the negative characteristic "poor environment↓" that had been hanging in the health status bar disappeared, and the large amount of food fed by the townspeople gave him a gain of "adequate nutrition↑".

The proficiency of 4.2 was obtained in a single time, and two control techniques were given at the same time. The result was already satisfactory enough.

Now the proficiency progress bar for the Flow Control Technique has reached three-tenths, which is much faster than the initial estimate of three months.

However, the first professional skill to be upgraded is definitely the Mantra of Illusion. At this time, the proficiency has accumulated to more than 80%, thanks to the townspeople who come to the lighthouse every evening.

Lin Bo went down the news column of the comprehensive network. What he cared about most was the experience points needed for career growth.

[The conditions for clearing the instance have been met, and rewards are being calculated.]

[Rewards for this instance: 60 Disaster Coins, 300 General Experience, and Purified Flesh (Gray)]

职业：真名法师Lv4（5/20500）→（305/20500）

The experience bar finally moved.

Lin Bo sighed with satisfaction.

Chapter 59: The Five Elements of Controlling Techniques, the Fundamental Beliefs

【传送通道开启倒计时：10、9……3、2、1】

The vortex of time and space opened in the open space. Lin Bo did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the copy to search for supplies worth taking away. This was also an old habit of his. There were too many good things in the mechanical factory copy, and every time he took away a full pile as if he was purchasing goods.

Unfortunately, this village is extremely poor. Edible food, herbs and other supplies have become moldy and contaminated. Gold, silver, copper and iron are also very scarce. The weapons in the hands of the monsters are also extremely simple, and the firearms they use are still flintlock rifles.

After searching for a while without any results, he had already mastered the map.

The Demon Summoning Village is located on the seashore. Lin Bo can hear the uneasy whispers of the waves. They are warning the True Name Mage that there was once a creature favored by the ocean that was forced to leave its hometown. Later, when it returned to the sea again, it was no longer as warm and beautiful as before.

Lin Bo had read the guide and knew that the creature the waves were talking about was the source of the village's changes. It still lurked in the depths of the waves, constantly watching over the place. It only appeared as a boss monster in the Purgatory difficulty level.

In the middle of the village lies the only temple building.

Unlike the dilapidated and simple appearance of residential houses, this temple is built with polished white stones. Although it is small in size and occupies a small area, it still exudes luxury that is a waste of manpower and material resources.

The final battle of the next difficulty level takes place here.

On easy difficulty, the temple gate is tightly closed and cannot be opened from this side.

Lin Bo pressed the door and chanted the rock's real name. The stone latch behind the door jumped up and unlocked, and two heavy granite doors suddenly opened in front of him.

The hall was dark, and the braziers on the long pillars on both sides were not lit.

Although we forced our way into an unopened area, the dungeon's difficulty was not increased. No hostile monsters were refreshed, and there was only an empty battle scene to see.

Lin Bo looked at the temple, which was simple and plain, and stretched as far as the eye could see. He gave up the idea of ​​looting supplies, turned back to the village, and left the dungeon through the teleportation channel.

Returning to the lighthouse empty-handed, the deep purple vortex of time and space quietly collapsed, and at this time a message popped up on the comprehensive network information board.
