Chapter 192

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was playing some kind of sex play!

"Crack..."

The chain touched the wrist, quickly twisted a few times, and firmly bound it.

A cold, metallic touch came through him, and at the same time, Shen Xing felt a heaviness, as if something was dragging him down.

He shook the chain in his hand, just about to admire it.

But then, a strange thing happened.

On her wrist, the Flower of Mist, existing between reality and illusion, spun rapidly.

But this time, instead of spewing out mist, a peculiar suction force erupted!

The chain was pulled and came into contact with the Flower of Mist.

And then... and then it was swallowed whole.

Like sucking up noodles, with a "slurp," the entire chain was sucked in.

Chapter 142: Price and Reward, Frenzied Sweep.

Shen Xing stared blankly at the chains that had disappeared from his arm, then at the swirling Flower of Mist.

Wait, what's going on? Why was the chain swallowed?

It only states that one can infinitely sacrifice agility, but it doesn't say that one is immune to these negative effects.

Filled with doubt, he immediately left the Land of Mist and logged into the forum to look up relevant information.

See if any other players have encountered the same situation.

In a thread discussing the new version's event content, he found a discussion about the 'Rain God Statue'.

I am Superman Strong: "Brothers, has anyone tried the third option for the statue? Does it have a big impact on us?"

Momo Wenxian: "Someone has already tried it. After making the choice, a chain will wrap around your body, making you feel very heavy and unable to move at all."

Don't Eat My Fish: "Indeed, but the reward seems pretty good; I just saw someone post it."

At this point, a player named 'Heavenly Star 2 Female Lead is Really a Touch of Preference' replied, "I advise you not to choose the third option. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only 15 days, the impact is huge. Not only will it make it difficult to move around in the game, but it will also affect your physical health in real life."

Even more outrageous is that the time and side effects are cumulative: one and a half months, reducing movement speed by 50%; two and a half months, reducing movement speed by 100%; and so on.

If you can accept lying in bed for long periods of time and not being able to do anything, then you can give it a try.

The others were also taken aback upon hearing this.

Perfume Bailu: "Damn, even the real body is affected? That's too high a price to pay!"

Eye of Darkness: "Yeah, it doesn't feel like a good deal."

Old Man Fish: "That's right, let's just stick to the second option and not be greedy for this little reward, lest we ruin ourselves."

After reading the discussion above, Shen Xing silently closed the forum channel.

"I see... If you choose the third option, a chain will be attached to you, and it might even carry over into reality."

"However, the chain in my hand was swallowed whole by the Flower of Mist, and the side effects disappeared completely as well."

"And after looking around the forum, it seems like no one else has encountered this situation, meaning I'm the only one who's special?"

Shen Xing frowned slightly as he looked at the Flower of Mist on his wrist.

He knew things weren't as simple as he'd imagined.

But no matter what, this is a good thing for me.

This means that he can now get the Rain God Statue's rewards for free, just like he gets the Holy Altar and the Demon Statue for free!

Let's see what the Rain God Statue gave us this time.

Shen Xing suppressed the jumbled thoughts in his mind and looked at what was in front of him again.

The Rain God Statue, now freed from its chains, seemed to have broken some kind of seal, and glimmers of light appeared on the surface of its clay body.

Then, as if touched by a wax figure at high temperature, the sacred face contorted, and the body began to melt rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a pool of yellow muddy water, merging into the earth and disappearing completely.

Where the statue had originally stood, several glittering objects appeared.

Among them were two transparent water droplets and several ancient seeds.

Shen Xing waved his hand and collected them all.

[Received: Rain and Dew Pearl (Gold) *2]

[Obtained: Treant Guardian Seed (Purple)*4]

"Two gold and four purple!?"

Shen Xing rubbed her eyes, thinking she had misread it.

As expected of the option with the highest cost and the greatest reward, it is indeed very generous!

He couldn't wait to check the attributes.

[Rain and Dew Pearl]

[Quality: Gold]

[Item effect: Can be used by creatures of Transcendent or Transcendent level, directly increasing their level by 1.]

For levels above the Transcendent Rank, 3 Rain and Dew Pearl are required to advance one level.

[Maximum 3 uses per person]

(Note: Dewdrops, containing pure energy, can Metamorphosis life.)

"It's an item that can directly increase your level! What a great item!"

Shen Xing gazed at the nearly transparent water droplet in his hand, as if he could feel the immense power contained within it.

However, according to the above function description, each person can use it a maximum of 3 times.

For those at the Transcendent Rank or above, three are needed to advance one level.

Therefore, using these beads at the Transcendent Rank is the most cost-effective approach.

"Gorehowl is already level 15. Once he levels up another level, he can use this bead to directly reach the level cap of 19."

"At that time, you can use [Holy Chalice of Rain] and then break through the Boss."

Shen Xing Xingmei thought to herself, collected the water droplets, and then checked her second trophy.

[Treant Guardian Seed]

[Quality: Purple]

[Rank: Tier One]

[Effect: Can be planted in the territory. After 15 days of cultivation, it will grow into Tier One 1 Level 9 Treant Guardian to help protect the territory.]

The Treant Guardian possesses Elite ★★★ potential and has skills such as 'Nature's Grasp,' 'Root Barrier,' and 'Leech Seed.'

"Elite Three Stars Treant Guardian, I remember that unit is quite strong, especially for defending territory, it's absolutely amazing."

"However... it requires a cultivation period of up to half a month, which is a bit of a hassle."

After all, given Shen Xing's current development speed, in half a month, Tier One units will only be used as cannon fodder.

Even the Rare Treant Guardian is somewhat of a liability.

Suddenly, something occurred to him. "Wait, don't I have the Legendary Rank [Rain God's Blessing]?"

"All plants in my territory will receive a 100% growth acceleration, plus the [Holy Chalice of Rain]'s Rain Prayer acceleration effect."

"If we use them all, the Treant Guardian might only need five or six days to grow."

Shen Xing's eyes flickered slightly; she decided to try it when she got back.

"Wanyin, here you go." He handed over one [Rain and Dew Pearl] and two [Treant Guardian Seed].

"Ah?"

The girl in the white dress looked bewildered. "Why are you giving this to me?"

"You found the Rain God Statue, so the spoils should be split equally," Shen Xing said matter-of-factly.

"I think we shouldn't..." Xia Wanyin said hesitantly, "You're the one who will bear the consequences, how can I take these things?"

Shen Xing laughed and said, "Didn't you just say you'd bear the consequences and we'd split the spoils equally? Why are you refusing now?"

"This..." she stammered, her small hands gently kneading.

"Okay, take it for now."

Shen Xing shoved the statue into her hand without waiting for a reply, and continued, "I'll need you to help me find these Rain God Statue next."

"Anyway, I've already lost my ability to move, so the consequences from above don't affect me at all."

"Let's continue our cooperation and take down all the statues in this area."

Xia Wanyin also became interested, clenching her fist and saying, "Alright, let's continue our cooperation and wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

She happily put the treasure into her backpack and then returned to the Hippogryph's back.

"Whoosh—"

A massive shadow shot into the sky in an instant, and the Fried Chicken flapped its wings, dashing at high speed through the churning mist.

After advancing about two kilometers, Xia Wanyin suddenly opened her pale eyes and exclaimed excitedly, "Shen Xing, I sensed it!"

"Head northeast for about 2.5 kilometers."

This time, without Shen Xing's command, the Fried Chicken had already changed direction and sped off.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The whistling wind rushed past my ears, and the thick fog rushed past on both sides like flowing water.

Soon, they arrived at the location Xia Wanyin had mentioned.

Looking down.

On a small black hill, a Rain God Statue, made entirely of yellow clay and with Black Iron wrapped around its arms, stands quietly atop the hill.

"Go down."

The Fried Chicken quickly descended, bringing them to the statue's side.

[Do you choose 'The Shackle of Bearing Rain' to remove the chains Rain God Statue and transfer the rain to yourself?]

"Yes."
