Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Chapter 243 The fourth characteristic item - [Rudder of Destiny] (two-in-one)

"If I guess correctly, that young man should be the same person as the suona-playing apprentice of the old man Erhu in the memory of the stone tablet."

"Could it be..."

"Did he also make this prediction?"

In order to confirm this, Chen Ye paused, played the "white flute" in his hand, used his spiritual power, used the sound of the flute to create an illusion-like effect, and conveyed the appearance of the young man to the old man with bones in front of him.

No further explanation was needed. The old man with white bones seemed to automatically understand Chen Ye's meaning and accepted this idea.

Then, he nodded and confirmed: "Although the picture you gave me is not clear, I can identify it as the one who made the prophecy."

"Do you know him?" Chen Ye was moved. For some reason, he always felt that he cared very much about the existence of the suona player.

"I don't know." The old man with white bones shook his head. "We have been trapped here and have been enduring the torture of endless reincarnation. I don't know how long it has been. I just saw the dawn of hope, so I wrote it down."

"In fact..."

"Who we are and where we come from, many memories have been erased, leaving only the hope of liberation."

Chen Ye fell into silence.

It is not difficult to understand that the situation of the old man with white bones and the villagers of Shengshu Village is similar.

Due to some accidents, they were cursed and became immortal beings. Although they were alive, their bodies were prisons for their souls. Even if they died directly, it was better than existing in this twisted way.

"I can extradite your souls to the other side and help you get rid of the curse." Chen Ye got straight to the point and directly stated his intention.

Since the other party has judged that he is the son of the prophecy through the 'White Flute', and has long wanted to get rid of the curse, that's just right!

Anyway, Chen Ye's mission is to help the 'cursed ship' escape the curse and extradite it to the other side.

But the old man with bones shook his head and said: "Young man, I know what you are thinking. However, in this special area, there is no way to open the door to the other side of the world through the [Key]."

"Can't open it?" Chen Ye was slightly startled, "What's going on?"

Boom! Boom!

Outside the barrier, the huge black dragon body hit the barrier crazily again, but every time it hit, it would bounce back again and again. It roared, glared, and roared, as if going crazy, glaring at Chen Ye, showing an extremely terrifying desire for destruction. I don't know if it was because of his status as the son of prophecy, or because he was holding the [Poseidon's Trident]. 'Authority' has caused heavy damage to it, and it wants to destroy it with all its strength out of instinctive fear.

Not every existence from the strange era will choose to stay away when threatened.

Some of the more crazy and wild beings, after being frightened, will act like wild beasts encountering a fatal threat. Adrenaline will be secreted crazily, and they will burst out with terrifying aggression.

This characteristic is even more obvious in [Monsters].

"Haha, the new gadget is really noisy, but even if we can't go out, it naturally can't come in." The old man with bones played a melodious tune, which seemed to be slightly teasing in a normal tone.

Chen Ye looked at the 'Dragon God' who was blocked from the barrier and asked doubtfully:

"How long ago did this gadget appear?"

"Recently..." The old man with white bones paused, and suddenly simulated Jie Jie's strange laughter with the sound of a flute, "It has undergone experiments similar to ours, but it is even crazier. It is really pitiful..."

experiment?

This word made Chen Ye's mind stir slightly.

From the current point of view, after the arrival of the Weird Era, there will still be three hundred years of history.

The relics obtained through certain special channels clearly bear traces of civilization.

Therefore, it is not difficult to judge that the strange era also has civilization and even special technology.

It is not surprising that there are "experiments".

Although I don't know what kind of "experiment" it is, but look at these skeleton old men and look at the appearance of the 'Dragon God' now... it can be imagined that it will definitely not be a good experiment.

"Wait a minute, if the 'door' cannot be opened, then I will not be able to help these skeletons successfully go to the other side of the world by extraditing their souls."

"Not only that, it seems that it is impossible for me to return to the living world and the underground world by walking on the gray fog?"

"This cursed ship is actually a one-way ticket, you can get in, but you can't get out?"

Chen Ye's expression changed and he tried to play [The Sound of Soul Crossing]...

In the void in front of him, the 'door' of nothingness was slowly outlined with the luster of gray mist.

But at the moment when it was about to take shape, it suddenly seemed to be blocked by some existence. It suddenly fell apart and could not be constructed.

"How could this happen?" Chen Ye frowned slightly.

Just now, he sensed that this lightless sea of ​​dead bodies seemed to have some kind of prohibitive rules that prevented [The Ferryman] from using the characteristics of [The Gate to the Other Side]...

This prohibitive rule must be broken before you can leave here!

Chen Ye turned his head, looked at the old man with white bones and asked:

"Do you know why this 'door' cannot be opened?"

The old man with white bones smiled bitterly:

"If I knew, I wouldn't have been trapped here for so long. Do I still need to wait for the Son of Prophecy?"

What you said makes sense... Chen Ye didn't know where to complain, couldn't refute, and frowned in thought.

Since it is some kind of prohibitive rule that blocks him from opening the extradition door to the other side of the world, then this kind of prohibition should be nearby!

If it can be found and destroyed, perhaps a breakthrough can be made.

Chen Ye played the "white flute" again, trying to outline the "Gate to the Other Shore".

"It's useless. I was once a soul-transferring messenger. If this method could be effective, I would have transcended myself long ago." The old man with white bones sighed.

This guy used to be in the [Soul Crosser] sequence?

Chen Ye was secretly shocked, but he didn't pay attention to the old man's words. Instead, he concentrated on carefully observing the changes around him.

The moment the 'door' dissipated, a jet-black luster suddenly flashed across the gray mist!

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

Chen Ye's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately squinted his eyes, focusing all his attention on the dark luster...

At this moment, black lines extended towards the depths.

His mind moved, and he immediately followed the black luster to look for it.

With a step of ten meters, Chen Ye's figure jumped several times in succession and finally found the end of the black line!

Here is the rudder of the ghost ship.

The black lines are connected to the rudders in front of them and to each other.

at the same time……

In addition to being shrouded in black mist, the rudder also exuded the brilliance of colored glaze!

When Chen Ye first entered this lightless sea of ​​dead bodies, the glazed stars he saw came from the rudder in front of him!

"I found you!" Chen Ye's lips curled up slightly.

It turns out that the rudder in front of me is the fourth characteristic item needed for career change in the [Destiny] sequence!

It is not only the source of the curse, but also the reward of the copy!

As expected... If you want to solve this mission, it won't be as simple as extraditing the soul.

The solution to the dungeon is linked to the final reward!

They need to understand why the curse appears on the rudder, then lift it, and then help them successfully extradite the soul in order to complete the final mission.

Chen Ye's eyes fell on the rudder in front of him.

at this time.

He activated the talent [Research on Blood Letters] and obtained relevant information tips——

【Rudder of Destiny】

Category: Characteristic items/props

Description: The rudder can guide destiny. When the sailor holds the rudder, he will be led by destiny to the place he desires in his heart.

…………

At this time, the old man with white bones came behind Chen Ye and sighed:

"There seems to be something wrong with our rudder. It always deviates from the guideline, taking us in circles and never being able to leave this place."

"No matter how we sail, eventually, we will get out of here."

Chen Ye walked to the front of the rudder and looked carefully with the Eye of Luck.

At this moment, he saw a series of dark lines along the rudder, connecting to the depths of the underground world.

"The rudder has been modified by some evil spirit, so it has lost its original characteristics, making it impossible for these crew members to activate the characteristics of the rudder and go where they want to go?"

Combining all kinds of information, Chen Ye's eyes moved and he made a judgment.

Obviously, this kind of rudder has the characteristics of [destiny]. Even if there is no corresponding voyage in the mind, you can go where you want to go by communicating with the rudder with spiritual power.

But now... the characteristics of [Destiny Rudder] have been distorted in some way.

This distortion comes from this underground world.

I'm afraid... the rudder has connected the ghost ship to this sunless sea, so they can't leave. They can only carry their immortal bodies and wander on this coast, going through reincarnations over the long years. Still unable to escape.

"Is there any way to temporarily cut off the connection between the rudder and the underground world?" Chen Ye frowned in thought.

At present, if the connection between the rudder and the underground world can be eliminated, even if it is only temporarily, but as long as the characteristics of the [Destiny Rudder] can be successfully restored, then we can escape from this area by using characteristics against characteristics.

As long as you can get rid of this barrier, you can return to the normal world. At the same time, you can also open the [Gate to the Other Side] and help the souls on the ship to be extradited to the other side world to complete the dungeon mission.

But the existence deep in the underground world is unknown at all.

It can put the 'Dragon God' into such a situation, and there may be a shadow of 'divine authority' behind it.

With his current strength, it is simply impossible and impractical to solve the existence behind the underground world and lift the curse.

If we can temporarily isolate the connection between [Destiny Rudder] and the underground world, we can already achieve the strategic goal.

At this moment, Chen Ye suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up:

"correct!"

"My [Devil Scissors] can even cut souls. It seems like it can cut off these connections?"

"It seems like you can give it a try!"

A solution popped into Chen Ye's mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Don't forget... isn't that how the soul-inducing lamp on your body came about?

No wonder there is no way to put away the soul-inducing lamp in the way of mountains and rivers!

It turns out that in addition to the soul-inducing lamp having its own consciousness, it is also bound to the underground world and belongs to an owner.

As a result, the Yamakawa Scroll naturally cannot meet the containment conditions.

But if you use [Devil Scissors] to cut off the connection, will it also be able to temporarily isolate the influence of the underground world?

As long as the [Destiny Rudder] returns to normal, there is a high chance of leaving this barrier and returning to the real world.

With a bang, Chen Ye's right hand exploded and turned into a pair of deep scissors.

He cut around the rudder with a knife...

In an instant, dark sword light flashed past the surroundings of [The Rudder of Destiny].

The lines of black mist lingering around suddenly seemed to be disturbed by some kind of interference, and instantly collapsed!

Boom!

Along with the sound of the ground shaking, the entire ghost ship seemed to fall heavily to the ground from a high place, making a terrifying sound.

This ghost ship, as if it had some kind of activity, made a low and long cry of "crow", and all the souls howled.

The barrier surrounding the barrier spread like water waves, creating illusory ripples.

The entire structure of the barrier fell into an unstable state at this moment...

It seems like it will be destroyed at any time!

"The confinement of the barrier...has disappeared temporarily?" The old man with white bones stopped in place blankly.

I don’t know how many years I have seen the ghost ship undergo such changes.

Originally... he didn't particularly believe in the so-called son of prophecy.

After all, it is just an unknown existence. Whether the information sent to him is true or false is difficult to verify.

Even if Chen Ye really appears, as predicted, he comes with a bone flute...

But the old man with bones, who had endured hundreds of years of suffering, had completely given up hope.

However, seeing the changes in front of him, he immediately realized that the barrier was really shaken by Chen Ye!

Have a chance to escape!

Although this hope is so slim, it does exist!

The deep pupils of the old man with white bones erupted with a horrifying light, as if a pair of eyes came to life inside.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the 'Dragon God' in the distance roared.

It was about to give up. It attacked repeatedly but could not shake the barrier...

However, the changes in the barrier this time caused the attack of the 'Dragon God' to actually penetrate the barrier!

"Oops!" Chen Ye's heart sank. "The structure of the barrier has been shaken, which means that the 'Dragon God' can ignore the barrier and it can also come in."

As soon as he turned around, he saw the bones of the old man's hands, which were so thin that only bones were left, firmly holding the "rudder of destiny".

The old man with white bones turned his head, looked at Chen Ye and said solemnly:

"You hold that evil dragon, and I'll sail the boat!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the dragon body that was several hundred meters long flew straight down from the sky, bathed in the billowing ink-colored thunder light, and swept in with the mighty dragon power!
