How to survive in a soul-based game with full female mods

He decided to show some respect to the corpse that contributed props to him.

"...So, why can't you take it down?"

He struggled for a long time on the finger, trying to remove the ring. He thought the ring attached to the dry and twisted corpse would be easy to remove, but it just wouldn't budge, the ring and finger were stuck together as if by glue.

He added a little strength to his hands, and then felt the ring falling off bit by bit. Lin Yinxi's arms trembled, and the ring was pulled out bit by bit. If he used more force in this state...

——Crack.

"Tsk."

The ring was taken off.

The problem is, the corpse's fingers were also torn off.

"..."

He stared blankly at the torn finger, then put it back into the spider web as if nothing had happened.

Just pretend you didn't see this...

After some effort, he took the ring off his finger and put it in his pocket, put it away, and then left the cave.

In the distance, he saw the knight leaders who had dealt with Arachnella waiting for him.

Upon seeing him, Liz smiled brightly and waved.

"It's been so long, what have you been doing?"

Claudia was holding the severed head of Arachnella in her hand. She seemed to have been thinking about what to use as evidence to defeat the boss. In the end, she decided to follow the usual procedure and behead her and take her away.

Lin Yinxi took the ring out of his pocket and placed it on his palm. Three different pairs of eyes turned to his palm.

"I'll get this."

"This is......."

Erica seemed to know something, and her eyes narrowed.

"Do you know what this is, Erica?"

"Hmm, I think it's the family crest of a noble family. Wait a minute, let me think about which family...?"

The Knights Generals fell into deep thought.

Originally, this was something that would happen after returning to the Knights and showing the ring to everyone, but now that everyone has worked together to defeat Arachnella, it seems that this is the starting point of everything.

He knew which family it was, but he couldn't rule out the possibility that the name had been changed, so he remained silent, quietly waiting for Erica's words.

No, looking back at what has happened so far, a name change is more likely.

"I remember now. It's Prattloyd. It's clearly the coat of arms of the Prattloyd family."

'really. ’

It was a name he had never heard of.

"But...why is the emblem ring that symbolizes that family here?"

"Why else?"

Lin Yinxi pointed at the bodies scattered along the wall. Each had been drained of blood, their bodies dry and tightly entangled in spider webs. Some of the corpses' faces still retained the painful gestures of death.

The Knight Commanders' expressions froze as they immediately grasped what this meant.

"...Okay...I'm convinced. Take this ring with you. I'll write to the Plattloyd family later."

Erica spoke in a slightly lowered voice. Claudia tightened her grip on Arachnella's head, and Liz bit her lip lightly.

"Well, I'll put it away first."

In the game, a knight commander will send a letter to the Plattloyd family. In order to deliver the ring, the player will go there in person and then start the main storyline.

In the boss room, the boss room barrier will not open unless the ring is obtained, so it is safe to assume that the player will always be aware of the ring's presence.

Even if a player does not find the hidden passage, because they cannot see the way out, they will wander around in the boss room, and eventually find a cave, wondering if it is the exit, and will go in to take a look.

"Ah, finally back to the castle!"

Claudia wanted to continue speaking, but she instantly covered her mouth with her hand. Everyone's eyes were fixed on her. She began to cough violently, as if she was going to cough out all her internal organs.

"Cough! Cough!"

As soon as he heard the cough, Lin Yinxi broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

“No way—”

That thought crossed his mind.

"Claudia, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"...I just suddenly felt like coughing. Maybe it's because the air here is bad. I'll be fine if I go outside."

"You don't look well at all, you look very bad..."

Liz and Erica each spoke with a worried look on their faces. Just as they'd feared, if his thoughts were correct, Claudia's situation was definitely not good.

"What's wrong with everyone? I'm really fine. Just need to get some fresh air outside."

Although Claudia tried very hard to explain herself with a smile, judging from the cold sweat on her face, she was not in good condition at all.

"No, give me that first."

"Ah? Lin Yinxi you..."

Lin Yinxi snatched the Spider Queen's head from her hand.

On the other side, he had just snatched the head from Claudia's hand, but before she could finish her words, she collapsed to the ground. Now she seemed to have lost the strength to hide her physical condition, and her breathing became rapid.

"Liz, hold this for me."

"What's going on? Why did Claudia suddenly become like this?"

"Didn't I tell you that their bodily fluids are highly toxic? So if you don't want to get poisoned, absolutely avoid contact."

"...Is it possible?"

Lin Yinxi nodded vigorously.

"Yes, poisoned."

The poisoning state is one of the abnormal states in Dark Light 4, which is divided into two states: ordinary poison and deadly poison.

Once poisoned, health will decrease by a percentage over the duration. Normal poison will reduce your maximum health by 3% over 50 minutes, and deadly poison will reduce your maximum health by 3% over 85 minutes.

Since the accumulated damage is proportional to the maximum health, some people may think that the lower the health limit, the more advantageous it is, but this is not necessarily correct, because the damage caused by the poisoning state each time is very small.

The poisoning state lasts for a long time, a full three minutes, but unless it is really serious, it is rare to find someone dying from poisoning.

For example, a common poison will reduce your maximum health by 3% over 50 minutes, with the maximum loss per second being only 0.2% of your maximum health. Even a lethal poison will only deal less than 0.5% damage per second.

The real horror of the poisoned state is that it restricts the player's actions.

Coughing occurs every 15 seconds. If it's a normal toxin, it will cause the player to cough for 1 second. If it's a deadly toxin, it will cause the player to cough for 2 seconds, making the player unable to take any action. What if you cough in the middle of a battle? Just wait for death.

This is why the poisoned state can last up to 3 minutes.

"...I'm sorry for letting things turn out like this."

"You didn't do anything wrong, so don't apologize. If you do this again, I'm going to tell Erica."

Claudia was carried on Lin Yinxi's back, smiling weakly. As they left the valley, she kept apologizing, seeming to blame herself for being a burden to the team.

There was a reason why Lin Yinxi was carrying Claudia on his back. This was because he was in the best condition right now.

Liz and Erica both consumed a lot of energy in the battle, and they also had some minor wounds on their bodies. Only Lin Yinxi, who had been watching the battle most of the time, was intact.

Although he was the weakest among the group, he still had the strength to carry a person, not to mention that Claudia was petite and not heavy.

They returned to the harnessing area and leaned Claudia against a nearby tree. She was drenched in sweat, her limbs weak, her arms and legs drooping, and her face looked very bad.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Then he coughed so hard that his lungs were about to burst.

"Sigh... Before starting the boss battle, I should have prepared at least one item that can detoxify."

The root of the problem was that he believed that as long as he told them all the unexpected situations and coping methods when facing the boss, there would be no problem with the strength of the Knights Generals.

Of course, there is actually no problem.

In other words, Claudia's poisoning was a mistake caused by a series of incredible coincidences.

Who could have thought that such an unpredictable situation would happen at just the right time?

"Hopefully the symptoms will be exactly the same as in the game."

In the game, poisoned status only causes some coughing, consumes a portion of your maximum health, and then disappears. But here? Will it also end with reduced health?

'I have no idea. '

He didn't dare to gamble.

“Riding a horse in this state…”

"It's absolutely impossible to do it alone. Erica, go back to the castle and think of a solution. Let Lin Yinxi and Claudia ride one horse, and I'll be on guard beside them."

Liz and Erica talked with serious expressions, and the atmosphere was very serious.

"...I'm sorry...I've been a burden to you all. Now it's my turn to be a small fry. I can only lie powerlessly in your arms. Hehe, I should..."

"Claudia, can you still laugh in this situation? We are serious, just shut up."

Claudia made a joke, a rather nonsensical one. She seemed to be trying to liven up the atmosphere in her own way, but it backfired and had the opposite effect. Erica sighed deeply.

"Mr. Yinxi, do you have any ideas?"

It seemed as if the last glimmer of hope was placed on Lin Yinxi. Erica looked at him with a subtle hint of expectation in her eyes.

"It's not like nothing."

Dark Light 4 is a difficult game, but it is not an unreasonable game. In areas where monsters that use toxins appear, consumables that can detoxify them will also drop.

"The real problem is the Darkness mod..."

Because the darkness mod is unreasonable.

If it's the original game, you can find a bunch of detoxifying herbs nearby. They'll refresh after a certain period of time, so if time permits, you can stockpile them endlessly.

But under the "Darkness Mod", this is not the case.

First of all, all the detoxification herbs near the boss room of Arachnara have disappeared. You have to walk a long way to find one, and they cannot be refreshed and can only be eaten once.

"...I don't know how far I have to go."

He knew the direction, but what mattered was how far the detoxifying herbs were from here.

"If you go this way, you'll find herbs for detoxification. But I don't know how far it'll take. An hour? Or two? Maybe even longer."

"Time is not important. Anyway, there is a solution, right?"

Lin Yinxi nodded. Meanwhile, Liz seemed determined, her expression firm. She seemed ready to find an antidote, so it wasn't hard to predict what she'd say.

"Erica, get ready. I'm going to look for the antidote. According to Lin Yinxi, there must be an antidote in that direction. Before returning to the castle, first—"

"You seem to need some help?"

Suddenly, a strange voice, unfamiliar to them, echoed from nowhere. Liz and Erica instinctively drew their weapons and took alert. Blazes blazed, daggers frozen in frost.

The same went for Lin Yinxi. He had never thought that there would be outsiders appearing near the Spider Queen's boss area, so he held the blood sword nervously.

"Who is it? Answer or show up. Otherwise, we will consider you an enemy."

"We don't have much free time right now. If you don't want to fight, you'd better get out quickly."

There was a murderous atmosphere all around.

Under normal circumstances, the two might have reacted more gently, but now, due to Claudia's poisoning and the imminent need for rescue, they reacted this way.

"Oh, that's scary. I was asking you kindly if you needed help. There's no need to be so angry, right?"

The standoff didn't last long. A moment later, a woman parted the grass and emerged from behind a nearby tree.
