This speed is too fast; even with his physical condition, he couldn’t react in ti.
"What the hell..."
Swish!
The words were still unfinished.
Rogel was swiftly lifted by the chains, hanging upside down.
In an instant, the perspective spun wildly.
Rogel quickly wanted to use Fog Flash to escape.
However, the information panel flashed three red exclamation mark alerts.
At this mont, Rogel noticed the alerts in the information panel.
[You are bound by the "Prison Chain"!]
[Your Spiritual Value and Faith Value are imprisoned, and you have beco a barbarian with only a strong body.]
[Current remaining Spiritual Value: 0]
[Current remaining Faith Value: 0]
[Your Spiritual Value and Faith Value are insufficient; skills cannot be used!]
[Your Spiritual Value and Faith Value are insufficient; skills cannot be used!]
"Damn it!"
Barbarian?
This [Prison Chain] actually directly imprisoned his Spiritual Value and Faith Value?
Rogel was a bit dumbfounded, looked around, and found himself entangled next to two light clusters by thin chains, one blue and one golden.
... Seriously? It’s that abstract? Really imprisoned?
Then, Rogel suddenly felt a sense of dizziness and ignorance slowly encasing his spirit.
He imdiately felt sothing was wrong and instinctively exited True Perspective.
[Waaa Waaa!! Roar Roar Roar!!!]
On Rogel’s phone screen, his ga character was struggling frantically, shouting and baring its teeth, not much different from a "barbarian."
"Oh, co on..."
Luckily, he reacted quickly, otherwise, he would have been a fool.
Rogel wiped his sweat in front of the screen, it was too thrilling.
He soon cald down and began to devise a strategy.
First, he attempted to let the ga character break the chains and struggle free.
But unsurprisingly, the [Prison Chain] was very sturdy, and he almost had no way to escape.
The key point is that at this mont, the body wasn’t under Rogel’s control, probably due to the low Spiritual Value.
"What to do?"
"Does this chain have a ti limit, or do I need to find so special way to unlock it?"
Rogel pondered while stroking his chin.
But before he could think further, the crisis arrived.
[Cough cough... cough cough...]
A few Prison Living Statues ca out at this ti and approached Rogel.
Then he saw these living statues grab the head of his ga character hanging upside down, getting close to him, coughing fiercely towards his nose and mouth.
[You’ve been attacked by Prison Living Statue.]
[You have been infected with Black Smoke Poison.]
[Your Life Value -100.]
[Your Life Value -100.]
[...]
[You died.]
...
Rogel frowned at the screen.
He was sowhat disgusted by the actions of the living statue.
While waiting for the ga to load, he was also thinking of counterasures.
However, after thinking for a long ti, he still couldn’t figure out a way to escape the Prison Chain.
"No choice, I can only use Fog Flash to move quickly inside."
"Better use auto-exploration, probably will die here many tis."
"The danger level of this place is probably way beyond my current capabilities."
Rogel was sowhat helpless.
However, he had no intention of backing down, instead, he used the auto-exploration feature to continue trying.
[You entered this unknown building, it is an area of Sea Black Fog, through Mysticism·Peeping Secret, you learned the characteristics of the area.]
[Uvie Muzhe has fallen into a slumber.]
[After entering the ruins, you used the Fog Flash skill to start moving forward.]
[So Prison Living Statues noticed you, but they moved slowly and couldn’t keep up with your fogged state, and you didn’t care about them, focusing on moving forward.]
[You arrived in front of a staircase, at this point, your Spiritual Value has been mostly depleted.]
[You continued to use Fog Flash to advance.]
[Due to significantly reduced visibility distance, you accidentally bumped into the belly of a tall body after a Fog Flash.]
[You were discovered by a monster! It opened its huge mouth and lunged to bite you!]
[Lamp-bearing Patrol]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: Elite]
[Level: 45]
[Tier: Apostle]
[Explanation: The Lamp-bearing Patrol doesn’t know why it appeared here, but it knows its task is to eliminate every enemy that appears before it.]
Rogel held his forehead.
He knew this would happen.
The place is filled with dense black smoke, a regional characteristic, making it impossible to see the road ahead, and it’s easy to bump into monsters.
He certainly didn’t plan to entangle with this guy.
[You tried to use Fog Flash to escape but failed; the Lamp-bearing Patrol used "Prison Searchlight" to greatly slow your speed, making your actions sluggish.]
[You beca a slowly moving fog in the air.]
[The Lamp-bearing Patrol roared, notifying its kin around.]
Rogel twitched his lips.
It’s dood, feels like he’s going to fall again.
Yet he decided to give it a shot and see if he could kill this Lamp-bearing Patrol.
[Just as the Lamp-bearing Patrol charged at you, a sudden mutation occurred.]
[With a bang, the ground exploded, and the Prison Chain erged, locking the Lamp-bearing Patrol securely.]
[The Lamp-bearing Patrol’s "Prison Searchlight" beca ineffective.]
Rogel was delighted upon seeing this.
Good relief!
Unexpectedly, this [Prison Chain] really is an indiscriminate binding, enemy or ally alike.
Rogel took the opportunity to slip away quickly.
This [Lamp-bearing Patrol] had already summoned reinforcents; if he took this chance to kill it, it might be hard to move afterward.
Thus, Rogel left decisively, without any hesitation.
[During your use of Fog Flash, several Prison Chains exploded from the ground, attempting to confine you, but they failed.]
[You continued forward.]
[At this mont, your Spiritual Value is almost depleted.]
The good news is, Prison Chains are ineffective during Fog Flash.
The bad news is, the Spiritual Value is running low.
In response, Rogel took a mont to think, then his eyes lit up, and he found an item from the inventory.
[You took out the "Exotic Raisins" from the storage backpack.]
[Although its side effect is embarrassing, it’s perfectly suitable for the current situation.]
[You consud the "Exotic Raisins," greatly improving the recovery rate of your Spiritual Value.]
[Now, the consumption of Fog Flash is roughly balanced with the recovery speed of Spiritual Value.]
["Exotic Raisins" remaining effective ti: 179 seconds.]
Ness!
Rogel was very pleased.
Exotic Raisins allow him to freely use the Fog Flash skill for three minutes.
He could take this opportunity to explore the building thoroughly.
However, the side effect of Exotic Raisins shouldn’t be underestimated.
It might cause a full-day stomach upset after the effect wears off.
In such a dangerous place now, the side effect of Exotic Raisins could pose a risk to Rogel.
But Rogel was naturally aware of this.
He never planned to explore the entire Lava Ruins in these three minutes.
By leveraging save-load and the durability of Exotic Raisins, he could explore most of the areas and monster distributions in the Lava Ruins.
Then he could plan out a relatively safer route.
In this way, he might not need to consu Exotic Raisins to find the treasures in the Lava Ruins.
After making up his mind.
Rogel wasn’t in a hurry to start exploring imdiately.
Instead, he went to the computer desk and opened a drawing software.
It’s the software he often uses to draw concept maps and charts, often used while writing novels.
But Rogel’s drawing skills are undoubtedly hard to describe...
However, for him, as long as he could understand it himself, would he really care about aesthetics?
"Let’s do this!"
Rogel plunged into exploration and drawing.
...
[During Fog Flash, a Lamp-bearing Patrol spotted you, using "Prison Searchlight" to slow your speed and summon its kin...]
There’s a monster here, can’t go!
[After Fog Flash ended, you suddenly found you’re at the building’s edge, outside is the scorching Sea of Lava, with monsters glaring at you.]
No path here, can’t go!
[After Fog Flash ended, you suddenly found the ground beneath you was hollow.]
[You fell into a void, with Fog Flash not cooled down, you used Secret Art Hand’s Illusion skill to narrowly avoid the trap.]
[But a chain suddenly rushed towards you.]
[You were confined by the Prison Chain.]
There’s a pit here, can’t go!
[After Fog Flash ended, you found a parcel wrapped in Extraordinary Creatures’ hide, filled with valuable items inside!]
There’s treasure here, mark it!
Rogel seriously explored and sketched on the computer, exploring the monster distribution and building locations in the Lava Ruins tirelessly.
