Chapter 126: Mysterious Place.
A brand new Trial World, but the surroundings were not unfamiliar.
To be precise, for an Easterner like Xiao Fen, the surrounding scene was not unfamiliar. This was because his current location was in a courtyard with an Eastern garden style. In front of this courtyard, one could faintly hear the sound of people talking.
Xiao Fen was currently sitting in a pavilion. On the four corners of the pavilion, copper bells hung, making clanging sounds in the night wind.
On the four red-lacquered pillars of the pavilion, a Windproof Lantern hung on each. The lanterns had the four characters “Fortune, Prosperity, Longevity, and Happiness” written on them. Blown by the night wind, they swayed ceaselessly, giving off a rather desolate feeling.
Outside this small pavilion was a flower pond, but it was still early in the season. In Xiao Fen’s eyes, there were only indistinct, lonely shadows of lotus leaves in the pond. Together with the small pavilion beside Xiao Fen, it highlighted a sense of loneliness even more.
Xiao Fen had never studied botany and knew nothing about flowering seasons. However, looking at this appearance, he could estimate that it was mostly spring right now, but exactly where this place was, was still not very clear.
Just as he was letting his mind wander, he suddenly heard a creaking sound from a small door not far away. Then, two young men walked over from the front. They were both wearing loose clothes made of plain blue cloth, with white cloths tied around their heads.
Seeing Xiao Fen, the two were stunned at the same time. Joy appeared on their faces as they hurried forward. They cupped their fists together and said, “This Immortal, it was not easy finding you. We have waited for so many days and finally found you. Please, come quickly. My mother is critically ill. We implore the Immortal to help.”
Xiao Fen paused for a moment and looked down at himself. Just like when he was in his room, his clothes were still that well-tailored suit, without a tie.
He was still holding two scrolls and a bottle of potion in his hand, plus a backpack. No matter how one looked at him, he did not look like any sort of Immortal.
Just as he was hesitating, the taller young man took another step forward, bowed his body slightly, and said, “Immortal, please forgive us for the disturbance. We are truly terrified. It is just that my mother’s health is deteriorating day by day. My family has sought medical help everywhere with no result. A few days ago, we heard that in a deserted courtyard outside Guangde Gate, there lived an Immortal from beyond the world who could bring the dead back to life. We hurried to pay a visit, but in previous days, the Immortal left early, and we missed him. Today, we came early and finally saw the Immortal. Please, we beg the Immortal to save my mother. The Pan Family will be endlessly grateful.”
Xiao Fen frowned slightly. If he hadn’t experienced several Trial Worlds before, he would probably think at this moment that someone was playing a prank in such ancient costumes.
But now, looking at these two young men, his heart settled slightly. In any case, he still had a bottle of Healing Potion in his hand. It could save even dying Trialists, so there was no reason it couldn’t save an ordinary commoner.
What puzzled him was that this was clearly a Trial World. Although Xiao Fen had thought about undergoing a new trial, this kind of Trial World arrived without warning, seemingly like a forced transfer, and without any omen before coming. It was truly beyond his expectations. It felt just like a prank by the World Tree.
The London World was like this, and this world was the same. Why did the World Tree have to pick on him?
Thinking of this, he pushed aside his distracting thoughts. Since he had arrived in this Trial World, he would deal with everything after completing the mission of this Trial World.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, “In that case, I will go and take a look with you. But let me be clear first: if I cannot cure her, I will turn around and leave immediately. I won’t delay you from seeking other doctors. At that time, do not stop me.”
The two young men glanced at each other, bowed slightly together, and said, “Quite so, quite so. We naturally understand the Immortal’s words. Please, Immortal, come with us now.”
Xiao Fen waved his hand and said, “Wait a moment. I still have some loose ends to tie up. Wait until I finish.”
After saying that, regardless of how the two young men looked at him, he summoned the Light Screen with a wave of his hand. He tapped in the air, directly spending one Gold Point to grant himself a second ability: Biological Poison Control.
As the exclusive skills following Biological Poison Control were unlocked one by one, Xiao Fen did not stop for a moment. He first selected “Neurotoxin Manufacturing.”
“Neurotoxin Manufacturing: Those with the Biological Poison Control ability can use their body’s genetic ring to manufacture biological poisons outside the body that can interfere with the target’s neural conduction. These biological poisons have a long duration and can continuously affect the target’s nervous system.”
“Level: Level 1.”
“You need a Neurotoxin Manufacturing scroll to be able to manufacture more biological poisons.”
Subsequently, Xiao Fen selected “Corrosive Poison Manufacturing.”
“Corrosive Poison Manufacturing: Those with the Biological Poison Control ability can use their body’s genetic mutation to manufacture biological poisons outside the body that can corrode and destroy the target’s armor. These biological poisons have a medium duration and can continuously destroy the target’s armor.”
“Level: Level 1.”
“You need a Corrosive Poison Manufacturing scroll to be able to manufacture more biological poisons.”
After that, Xiao Fen used the last remaining Skill Point on his hand to light up “Biological Poison Research.”
“Biological Poison Research: Those with the Biological Poison Control ability are not only experts in manufacturing poisons but also experts in researching poisons. They can easily discover various signs of poisoning and make the biological poisons they manufacture more effective.”
“Level: Level 1.”
“All poison durations increased by 10%, effects increased by 5%.”
“Can detect toxins below Level 1.”
After selecting the ability points, Xiao Fen crushed the scrolls with a “snap” in front of the two young men. The two scrolls turned into star fragments and slowly dissipated in the eyes of the two young men, making them believe even more firmly that Xiao Fen was an “Immortal.”
“Neurotoxic Paralytic Agent.”
“Level: Level 1.”
“Paralysis: Hinders the target’s neural response for 30 seconds. In the first 3 seconds, the target is in a state of absolute paralysis, after which they will gradually return to normal. The poison effect cannot stack.”
“Damage: The poison causes limited lethality to the target, lasting for 30 seconds, causing 5 life damage every 10 seconds.”
“Manufacturing Time: 15 seconds.”
“Note: This poison agent can only be manufactured under the gaze of Yggdrasil and can only be used in environments permitted by Yggdrasil.”
“What are you going to do? Paralysis, that’s not a good thing. Let me tell you a little trick. Why not put this poison agent into the target’s heart? That’s a pretty good plan, isn’t it?”
“Armor Corrosive Agent.”
“Level: Level 1.”
“Destruction: Continuously destroys the defense of the designated area of the target within 15 seconds, reducing defense by 2 points every 3 seconds.”
“Stacking: Repeatedly hitting an area will cause stacking destruction to the defense of that area, with a maximum stack count of 3 times.”
“Manufacturing Time: 15 seconds.”
“Note: This poison agent can only be manufactured under the gaze of Yggdrasil and can only be used in environments permitted by Yggdrasil.”
“Corrosion, corrosion, corrosion. Yes, just like that. Three corrosions can make the opponent feel like they’ve lost their protection.”
After mastering these two types of poison agents, Xiao Fen stretched his body, looked at the other party, and said, “Alright, let’s leave now. Let me see what exactly has happened to your family member.”
