Monster Paradise

Just as a thought came to his mind, there was a sudden suction force from the palm that was pressing on the isolation layer.

Lin Huang wanted to retreat, but it was too late. His body penetrated the isolation layer in the blink of an eye and was swallowed into the mountain.

Lin Huang's body was pulled deeply into the mountain by a powerful force, no matter how hard he struggled, it was futile.The strength of that huge force far exceeds his strength, and it does not exist on the same level at all.

Even if the state of the ghost was lifted and the body was restored, that force still did not let go of Lin Huang.What also made Lin Huang feel strange was that in the mountain, his body movement was not hindered. It was no different from the ghost state just now, as if the rocks and soil in the mountain were just phantoms without entities.

But Lin Huang's pupil technique can easily identify these are not illusions, but entities.It's just that my body is wrapped by that pulling force, which isolates me from contact with the material plane.

Seeing that struggling was completely futile, Lin Huang simply gave up struggling and waited for this force to bring him to his final destination.

After a short meeting, Lin Huang clearly felt that Juli's pulling force was weakening, and he knew that he was about to reach his destination.

At the moment when the pulling force completely disappeared, Lin Huang felt his body loosen suddenly.He immediately stabilized his figure and looked around, wanting to know where he was taken.

But at a glance, he was a little sluggish.

"What's the situation?" Lin Huang stared and looked around.

He found himself in a vast starry sky, his body was completely weightless, floating in space.

As far as he could see, the huge stars made him feel his own insignificance even more.

But soon, he saw a huge object approaching him quickly. It was obviously not a star, but it was far larger than all the stars Lin Huang had just seen.

"A stone tablet?" Lin Huang looked at the object with surprise on his face, but he quickly realized that this object should be the sacred object hidden in the mountain.

Chapter 774 A Stone Tablet

In the silent void, the black stone tablet was far larger than any object Lin Huang had ever seen.It just floated in the void, exuding an ancient aura, as if its existence was longer than this void.

Feeling the breath of time from the stele, Lin Huang's mind was also brought back to the memory that had been sealed for a long time.That was the bits and pieces that happened on the earth before the crossing, everything was played back like a movie, and every detail was extremely clear.Even some pictures that have long been blurred in memory are like videos shot with the highest resolution at this moment.

On the wooden door of the old house that creaks when pushed a little, the grains are clearly discernible.On my mother's black turtleneck sweater, there are also tiny strands thinner than a hair.There are also ant nests that he filled with water when he was a child, and Lin Huang could count how many ants came out... Even when he had no memory of his infancy, some things that Lin Huang had no memory of became clear.

"What is this stele? Just the escaping breath can affect my memory."

As the stele got closer, Lin Huang saw that the surface of the stele seemed to have been hit by countless meteorites.Large craters that seemed to be smashed out by meteorites densely covered three-quarters of the front of the stele, and around each of the sunken deep craters, it was obvious that cobweb-like cracks extended towards the distance.There were a few big cracks that were particularly conspicuous. Lin Huang looked as far as he could, and there was no end in sight like a bottomless abyss.

The entire stele looks like it has suffered heavy damage, and judging from the number of potholes and the depth of the cracks, it can maintain a complete piece, and it is not easy without disintegration.

"It should not be a meteorite impact. The gods have self-consciousness. When encountering a meteorite impact, the energy defense layer will be opened, leaving no trace at all. Moreover, with the strength of the gods, even if the defense layer is fully opened, the traces that the meteorite impact can leave It is very limited, and it is impossible to cause such damage. It is more likely to be artificial (including humans and monsters) to make a divine object like this, and only true gods and powerhouses above true gods can do it."

"This fetish is probably not an ordinary thing. After such a heavy injury, its power can still cover an entire island with an area of ​​one million square kilometers, causing a similar curse to it."

The more he analyzed these details, the more Lin Huang felt that this fetish was not simple.

Seeing the stele galloping towards his direction, he felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"Is this thing coming for me?"

As soon as this idea came out, Lin Huang immediately fled towards the distance, trying to avoid the route of the stele.But he soon discovered that the running route of the stele had also changed, and he was still chasing in the direction where he was.

"It's really coming for me!"

Lin Huang's face suddenly became a little ugly, he changed the direction of flight, and then turned his head to look back, only to see the stele changed direction again and came chasing towards him.He tried to change the direction several times, and the stele also turned again and again, always keeping facing him, and getting closer.

Even if he turned on the second stage of acceleration to increase his speed to the extreme, he still couldn't distance himself from the stele at all.

"I can't escape..." Seeing this, Lin Huang resigned himself to his fate, knowing that it would be a waste of effort to escape, so he decided not to escape.

After crushing a transformation card, Lin Huang's combat power at the golden flame level instantly increased to the fourth step of the immortal level. There are three temporary combat power improvement cards hidden in the cuff of his left hand, and the right hand holds the air splitting sword in his hand. .

He was suspended in mid-air, facing the stele, his eyes were cold, as if he had entered a state of preparation for battle.

The gigantic black stele seemed to be moving slowly and quickly, and it approached Lin Huang in a short while.

Seeing that the distance was only more than a hundred meters, Lin Huang's sword intent was condensed to the extreme, and he was ready to strike at any time.

But at this moment, the movement of the stele suddenly stopped.It hovered about 100 meters in front of Lin Huang.

Just when Lin Huang was feeling surprised, a thunderous voice suddenly exploded in his ears.

"Human, your soul is something special."

Lin Huang was taken aback when he heard this, and his divine sense stretched out in all directions, and his eyes scanned the surroundings at the same time, but found nothing.

He quickly reacted, and his eyes fell back to the huge stone tablet not far in front of him. With a sudden movement, he retreated hundreds of meters away, and looked in the direction of the stone tablet with a full face of vigilance.

There was nothing around, obviously, the sound came from the stone tablet.

"Don't be nervous, I have no malice towards humans." The voice came again.

"Are you this stele? Or some creature hidden in the stele?" Lin Huang asked directly, "Since there is no malice, why don't you reveal your real body and talk to me face to face?"

After Lin Huang came to this world, he saw many talking monsters.But for talking objects, he has only seen his golden finger Xiaohei, and nothing else.

So the first time he heard the sound, he didn't think it was the stone tablet talking, but thought that there were other creatures nearby.After some fruitless investigations, he confirmed that the source of the sound was the stone tablet in front of him.It's just that he wasn't quite sure whether it was the stele or the creature inside the stele that spoke.

Lin Huang's question was not answered, but after a moment of silence, he suddenly discovered that the size of the stele was shrinking sharply.

In less than ten seconds, the huge stele, which was somewhat larger than a star, shrank to a height of three meters.Almost at the same time, the voice just now came from Lin Huang's ear again.

"Now you should know what I am?"

The answer is self-evident. Lin Huang looked at the stele not far in front of him with a face full of surprise. It was hard for him to imagine that such a colossal object could shrink to such an extent in the blink of an eye.

After a while, he came back to his senses, still full of vigilance, "You just said that you have no malice towards human beings, so why did you bring me here?"

"Your soul has an aura that I feel familiar with..." The stele paused, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a time traveler, right?"

Lin Huang's heart skipped a beat. It was the first time his real identity was revealed, but his face remained expressionless and he did not respond to the question.

"Sorry, I was a little abrupt. I haven't dealt with humans for a long time, and my conversation skills are a little rusty." After the stone tablet finished speaking, he changed the subject, "Before I ask you to answer this private question, I should first talk about my own situation. "

"In fact, my previous master was also a time traveler like you, and the soul breaths of the two of you are somewhat similar. And I can clearly sense the breath of Goldfinger in your body, because I was also Goldfinger before."

"Are you Goldfinger too?" Lin Huang's heart tightened again when he heard this. He clearly remembered that Xiao Hei had said before that Goldfinger could devour each other.He also felt that Xiao Hei in his body had completely fallen into silence since he entered this space just now.When I used the transformation card by myself just now, the notification sound didn't even appear.I ignored this detail just now, but now that I think about it, Xiao Hei should have sensed the other party's existence and was forced to hibernate.

And with the opponent's current state of damage, he should recover a lot of injuries by devouring Xiao Hei.With this thought, Lin Huang's face became even more ugly.

Seeing the drastic change in Lin Huang's face, the stele seemed to have guessed what was going on in his mind.

"Don't worry, I won't attack you, and I won't do anything to your golden finger. Even if a golden finger with two-star authority is swallowed, it won't have much effect on my recovery. And it's still intact state, devouring it has a severe risk of backlash.”

"Two-star authority?" Lin Huang muttered in a low voice. He was a little suspicious because he had the impression that Xiao Hei's authority had been upgraded several times.

"You don't even know the authority level?" The stone tablet said a little strangely, "It seems that your golden finger has a bad personality."

"Uh, it's okay." Lin Huang suddenly remembered that when he first got Xiao Hei, his character card evaluation had been terrible for a long time. "This permission star, can you tell me about it?"

"It's very simple. The level of authority is only related to the life level of the host. Ordinary people's golden fingers only have one-star authority, supernatural will be upgraded to two-star authority, and god-level will be three-star authority, and so on."

"You mean, sometimes the system prompts you to upgrade your authority, but it's not that your star authority has been elevated?" Lin Huang asked hastily.

"The prompt you mentioned should be the promotion of function authority, including function unlocking and function level improvement. This is an improvement that can be obtained after reaching certain conditions, and has nothing to do with the life level of the host. Function authority and star authority are completely different. Two different things, but every time the star authority is raised, it will also be accompanied by the unlocking of some functional permissions."

The explanation of the stele made Lin Huang suddenly enlightened.

"Can I ask you some other questions?" The explanation of the stele made Lin Huang a little bolder.

"Ask, and I'll answer as much as I can."

"How many stars are you a golden finger?" Lin Huang asked tentatively.

"Four stars." The stele didn't hide anything.

"Four stars?! Then your previous master is still above the god rank?" Lin Huang was a little shocked.

"Yes, his strength is also a top powerhouse in the big world."

"He has fallen?" Goldfinger usually does not exist without the host. The stele appeared here and was damaged in such a state, so Lin Huang naturally made this guess.

"Yes." After a moment of silence, the stele still answered the question.

"With his strength and your support, will he still fall?" Lin Huang couldn't imagine how the previous owner of the stele died.

"He has provoked a powerful enemy that shouldn't be provoked." The stone tablet passed the question briefly, obviously not willing to discuss this topic.

Aware of this, Lin Huang stopped asking about related topics. He was silent for a while, and turned the conversation in another direction.

"Why did you bring me here? It shouldn't be as simple as my soul breath being similar to your master's?"

The stele fell into a long silence again, and it took a long time before speaking again.

"Let me tell the truth, I brought you in because I hope you will be my host."

"Wait, you should know that I can only make a contract with one Goldfinger, right?" Lin Huang frowned slightly. Normally, he doesn't have too many Goldfingers, but he clearly remembered that Goldfinger The contract is unique, there is no way to sign a second one.

"It's simple, you just need to terminate the contract with your current Golden Finger." The voice of the stele came calmly.

Chapter 775 Dialogue Stele

"From your ignorance of a lot of information about cheating, I can roughly judge that your current cheating should be of a bad character, and it is very likely that you, the host, don't like you very much. And it is only a two-star gold finger, whether it can be promoted to three-star or four-star in the future is unknown."

"It's different for me. I'm a four-star level myself, and I have full access to functions from one to four stars. Even if I sign a contract with you and the permissions are limited to two stars, my ability must be stronger than your current golden finger. And if necessary, I can also use special means to activate Samsung permissions to assist you."

"By the way, I forgot to say that my ability is to suppress the soul. The specific functions include devouring, controlling, sealing, granting souls, etc. To be a little exaggerated, I almost have most of the abilities on the soul side. In gold In the fingers, my initial rank is S rank, which belongs to the category with the most powerful functions."

"Initial rank S?" Lin Huang heard another concept that Xiao Hei had never mentioned before.

"The so-called initial rank is the quality level when we came out." The stone stele explained, "The lowest level is d level, and then up is c, b, a, s."

"D-level ones are basically defective products, and some of them don't even have complete self-awareness. However, occasionally, those with good functions will be screened and passed out, and some unlucky traversers will get them."

"Most of the cheats randomly assigned to the traversers are C-level and B-level. The probability of being assigned to A-level is less than 1%, and S-level is even less. It is said that the probability of getting it is less than [-] in [-]."

"Judging from the fact that your golden finger concealed its initial rank from you, it is unlikely that it is an A-rank. As for the S-rank, it's too late to show off to the host, let alone keep silent about it."

After understanding the initial rank, Lin Huang fell into silence. He was not thinking about the proposal of the stele, but was secretly guessing which rank Xiao Hei's initial rank was.

After waiting for a while, the stele finally couldn't help but speak again, "How about it, have you thought it through?"

"Sorry, I think Xiao Hei is pretty good. I've partnered with it for several years, and I'm used to it, so I won't change it anymore." Lin Huang shook his head and gave the answer of refusal.

"I don't quite understand your logic. Don't you humans have a saying that 'if the old doesn't go, the new won't come'?"

"There is such a saying, but there is also a saying that 'the right one is the best'." Lin Huang nodded with a smile, "For me, gold ax and silver ax are not as good as my iron ax. Maybe you are much stronger than Xiao Hei, but I am already very satisfied with Xiao Hei's function, and I have no plans to replace it."

"You are an interesting person." The stele gave such an evaluation, "My previous host once told me that on the planet he was born on, everyone is fighting for the best. The best The best car, the best house, the best clothes, the most beautiful women... In fact, even in the big world, human beings are still doing similar things."

"People's desires are endless, just like a black hole that can't be filled. There will always be better clothes, more beautiful women, and cars with better performance in this world. If you pursue these things endlessly, you will be happy forever. There might not be enough time.”

"Desire is a thing, you may be able to get a moment's satisfaction by giving it what it wants, but after it is satisfied, it will only become more hungry and thirsty. If you want to get more satisfaction, you must continue to give it more things. In the end, when you can't get enough of it, it will eat you up."

"Sounds a bit like the idea of ​​ascetics. I have seen some ascetics. They only need the most basic necessities, and everything else is superfluous to them. The clothes they wear are all patched. They eat once and only drink water for a living. Even for cultivation, they basically do not rely on external resources, relying on constantly squeezing their physical body and soul energy." Lin Huang's remarks reminded the stele of himself Ascetics seen before.

"My philosophy is quite different from that of the ascetics." Lin Huang probably guessed that the so-called ascetics should be a group of people similar to the ascetics on the earth. "Ascetics don't fight or take, but I should fight. I will fight, and I will take what should be taken. I just don’t take things that don’t belong to me, instead of rejecting everything outside of me like an ascetic.”

"So, you think I shouldn't take it?" Hearing this, Shi Bei asked.

"If you must exchange Xiao Hei, then you shouldn't take it." Lin Huang nodded, "Even if you are a five-star gold finger and are in good condition, you shouldn't take it."

"Should I say you are stupid, or should I say you are stubborn?" Shi Bei didn't know how to evaluate Lin Huang's character.

"Compared to replacing Xiao Hei with a higher-star gold finger, I would rather slowly train Xiao Hei to four-star and five-star. I believe that Xiao Hei's ability will not be inferior to other gold fingers of the same level by then." Lin Huang didn't know where he got the confidence to say these words.

The stele was silent for a long time after listening to it, and it took a while before he spoke, "It's lucky for Xiao Hei to meet you."

"On the contrary, I think I was lucky to meet it. Without Xiao Hei, I would not have lived in this world for three months. It is because of it that I am still alive and kicking." Lin Huang knew very well , if he hadn't had the monster card Bai in his hand, he would have failed the reserve hunter assessment at all.In the final analysis, it is still Xiao Hei's credit.

"I hope you will always cherish it..." The voice of the stele sounded a little depressed, and I don't know if it reminded me of its former owner, but it quickly cleared up its emotions, "Humans, we Seeing that you have been searching for the burial ground just now, what are you looking for?"

"Look for the gods." After Lin Huang finished speaking, he briefly told the story of the cursed land to the stele.

"I originally wanted to find a soul-like fetish to contain the divine fire in my body. But I didn't expect the fetish to meet you."

"How did you get this level of life fire?" The stele saw through Lin Huang's condition at a glance, "Although a high level of life fire is a good thing, but your current situation is a bit troublesome. In this gravel world, There is no beast soul that can withstand your fire."

"I know, that's why I thought about replacing it with soul-like fetishes and artifacts." Lin Huang was also very helpless.

"This idea is correct, but in this gravel world, there are not many gods and artifacts, and even fewer souls." The stele obviously has a deep understanding of this gravel world, "I think dozens You may not be able to collect enough gods and artifacts for you to be promoted to Ninth Step Immortal Rank even in a few years."

"Can you help me solve this problem?" Lin Huang vaguely felt that the stele might have a solution.

"I have a solution, but it's up to you to use it or not." The stele smiled lightly.

Chapter 776 The deal is reached

"What method?" Lin Huang asked quickly.

"As I said before, my ability belongs to the soul side, and I am proficient in many soul-type secret arts." The stele explained unhurriedly, "There is a set of skills among them, which should be able to solve your problem."
