Mind Nether Lamp Breaks into Purple, Boss-Level Zombie
Using his Origin Essence Blood to strengthen the Mind Nether Lamp was something Gu Xi had seriously considered.
The Origin Essence Blood carries powerful negative effects; purple equipment upgraded with this stuff is unusable by normal people.
Gu Xi was preparing a piece of equipment for himself this time, rather than for his Contract Undead or Death Avatar.
There are only two choices for this [Origin Essence Blood]. One is Gu Xi is currently using, such as the shoulder guards, the Reverse Lich, or the Cold Wind Staff.
Especially the Cold Wind Staff, Gu Xi would definitely want to upgrade it to Purple Quality, and then use another opportunity from the Fox Eye Ring to directly erase the negative effects.
Another method is to place items that are useful for enhancing the Gu Xi but cannot be equipped into the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp, which is then held by the person wielding the item.
Gu Xi happened to have a Mind Nether Lamp on hand.
Because with the arrival of the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp, the Mind Nether Lamp will have to be replaced.
If this thing isn't upgraded to purple-grade level, it'll just end up being left aside.
However, Gu Xi quite liked some of the functions of the Mind Nether Lamp. Gu Xi had some understanding of them before when he had the Mind Nether Lamp in his possession.
Now Gu Xi is somewhat reluctant to part with this item.
Since his [Origin Essence Blood] could be used for enhancement, he immediately enhanced the Mind Nether Lamp.
The next instant, the color of the Mind Nether Lamp changed; the originally pink, brain-like Mind Nether Lamp now turned dark red.
The pig brains looked like they'd been sitting out for too long and had gone bad; they even had a slightly rusty smell.
However, the properties of this Mind Nether Lamp caught Gu Xi's eye.
He kept everything he wanted, and even enhanced it.
[Mind Nether Lamp (Purple, Off-hand Item)]
[Defense: 6]
[After equipping: Intelligence +11]
[Equipment Requirement: Intelligence 6]
[Special Feature 1: Bewitch the Heart act according to your will for five minutes (Note: The stronger the individual, the greater the resistance; however, as long as they are alive, they will eventually be hypnotized).]
[Special Effect 1: After equipping the gear and activating the Bewitch the Heart effect once, the user will be affected mentally every half hour, ranging from performing strange actions to choosing suicide.]
[Special Skill 2: Mind Flame, locks onto and ignites an enemy whose level is no more than 10 levels below the caster's, forcing the enemy to burn their mind and body as fuel. This fuel can be converted into a special Magic Potion that can replenish mana or enhance the effects of certain spells.]
[Special Effect 2: After equipping the item and activating the Mind Flame effect once, the user will suffer a fire burn every half hour. Each time, the user must replenish their health, otherwise they will become a new Magic Potion.]
[Special Feature 3: Mind Shield, which mentally blocks the existence of certain people within a certain area, causing people to mentally ignore their presence (seeing them is treated as if they didn't see them, and they are simply ignored)]
[Special Effect 3: After equipping the gear and activating the Mind Shield effect once, the user needs to demonstrate their presence to others through some means every half hour, and receive the attention of more than 10 people. Otherwise, after three times, the user will be directly erased.]
[Note: What you see is not actually there; someone wants you to see it.]
This upgrade to the Mind Nether Lamp is a significant leap forward.
Either the skill became an area-of-effect spell, or its effect was enhanced, and finally, a rather unique spell was added.
These are the most useful.
It's fair to say that, disregarding the negative effects, these skills far exceeded Gu Xi's expectations.
However, due to the transformation of Origin Essence Blood, these negative effects are ridiculously strong.
Each one of them is meant to take someone else's life.
If Gu Xi were to use it directly, I'm afraid his own people would be gone within a few days.
So Gu Xi quickly threw the Mind Nether Lamp toward the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp.
As the flame rose, the Mind Nether Lamp was absorbed into it.
The words 'Hungry Ghost' appeared in the firelight.
Then, on one of the blank sides of the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp, New Holder appeared.
This is different from the situation of the previous two armored individuals.
This man was also dressed entirely in black, but his head was exposed.
It seems that the Mind Nether Lamp did not use itself as a secondary item, but rather occupied the brain of the person wielding it. At the same time, Gu Xi noticed that the person wielding the equipment also had a large number of black iron chains on their body.
These weren't created by Gu Xi's character customization; they were simply how he originally appeared.
It seems this person is taking a rather unconventional approach.
However, Gu Xi also noticed that this person carrying the armor was different from the previous two.
He lacked offensive and defensive capabilities; instead, he enhanced the skills of his equipment.
It's clear that he's taken a different path.
Gu Xi didn't care what path the armored person took; what he wanted was for the armored person to make the most of the equipment.
What he looks like and whether he can fight are not the main points.
After placing the Mind Nether Lamp into the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp, Gu Xi had no further intention of putting any other purple-grade equipment inside.
Purple gear doesn't just fall from the sky.
The purple equipment that Gu Xi has now been equipped with—one offensive, one defensive, and one supportive—is just right.
We'll talk about the rest when we encounter suitable purple gear or when we face unsolvable problems.
So Gu Xi didn't think about it anymore. He loosened his left hand, and the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp that he had been holding floated to Gu Xi left.
This way, Gu Xi's hands will be free, and she won't have to carry this thing around all the time.
Gu Xi did this quite naturally.
When he was studying at the Minggu Bone Wind Academy, he learned that equipment is equipment and clothing is clothing, and the two should not be confused.
As Gu Xi released his grip, the three armored figures who had already come out retreated.
Gu Xi understood that they had always been there, but they didn't usually appear by Gu Xi's side.
They only appear when Gu Xi needs them.
In this respect, Gu Xi had to admit that the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp was far superior to the Fox Eye Ring.
At least Flame Light Six Paths Lamp are useful anytime, anywhere.
Unlike the Fox Eye Ring, it is often not used.
Just as Gu Xi was putting away the armored figure, Luna arrived with a Zombie.
This Zombie was no different from an ordinary Zombie, with the same bluish-gray skin and a Logging Axe in its hand.
His steps were neither too fast nor too slow, and his movements were not overly unsteady, but rather quite composed.
Seeing Luna bring him to him, Gu Xi was also a little puzzled.
"Luna, who is this?"
"He's a newly created level 19 undead, and I brought him here."
Luna immediately began introducing the Zombie she had brought.
