My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 289 Radiation
In the old secular era, in his past gaming experiences, Jiang Xinghuo had seen related information more than once.

However, the game text is always vague, so Jiang Xinghuo is still unclear about when the old secular era refers to.

The era when the secular lord ruled?
Or in the more distant ancient times?

Or, is it the history before this era?
None of this is known.

Based on the information we have explored so far, the only thing that can be confirmed is that beneath the secular world, there are relics from an even more ancient past.

There are many unknown dangers hidden there. Even the evil spirits at the level of the Taoist master can be harmed or even lose their lives in the ruins of the old secular world.

Jiang Xinghuo sighed softly. There were too many secrets hidden in this world. What he had unearthed now was probably just the tip of the iceberg.

As for now, we can only take one step at a time, cut a path through the mountains, and build bridges over the rivers. After our strength has improved to a certain level, we will naturally know some things.

Jiang Xinghuo quickly organized his thoughts and stopped thinking about useless things. He directly threw the murals into the magic bag and continued to explore the underground palace.

"You have entered the Yellow River Underground Palace."

"You followed the indexes marked on the map, avoided the dangerous traps, and came to a fork in the road."

“You stand in the middle of the fork in the road and look left and right.”

"At the end of the path on the left is a large hall. The heavy stone door is covered with mottled traces of time."

"At the end of the path on the right is a stone bridge. The white jade-like bridge is faintly glowing. I don't know where it leads to."

"And in front of this fork in the road is a bottomless cenote, and everything is dead silent."

"Which path are you going to take to explore?"

"Do you want to explore the palace? Or go to the other side of the stone bridge? Or take another path and jump off the cliff in front of you?"

Three options, left, right, or another way.

One fork in the road, two paths, three choices.

Jiang Xinghuo thought it was interesting, so out of curiosity he chose a different option.

Anyway, he had already lit up the shrine and had enough dog food, not to mention a scapegoat, which he hadn't used today.

Of course, Jiang Xinghuo would not be so stupid as to jump into the abyss, but would go to the niche shop first.

I bought a set of cable props for rock climbing from a player named "Mountain Guardian".

The mountain guard also took the initiative to invite them and asked to go down the map together, saying that he was experienced and could help a lot.

Jiang Xinghuo directly rejected him. What a joke! It's not that easy to get something for free.

"You chose to explore the tiankeng."

"Exploration in progress..."

"You suddenly feel nauseous and uncomfortable, and then you feel extremely dizzy and your head starts to hurt severely. Then your body starts to feel hot, and countless pus-filled blisters appear on your body. Your hair starts to fall out in clumps."

"Finally, even my thinking started to slow down, and everything in front of me seemed very strange."

"You've become stupid and stupid."

"You let go of the rope."

"You fell into a sinkhole."

"boom……!"

"You are dead."

Depend on!
Jiang Xinghuo stared at the screen speechlessly. If I die, I die. Why do you even give me a voiceover? Isn't this obviously a mockery of me, Fat Tiger?
However, this way of dying is quite novel.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think too much about it. He had died many times, so it didn't matter if he died once or twice. But the result of resurrecting and exploring again didn't change at all. Even the game text was almost the same. He turned into a fool for no reason, and then fell into a tiankeng and died.

After repeating it several times, Jiang Xinghuo felt something was wrong.

Even if he was attacked by something, the text should have given some hint. How could he have become a fool and fallen to death without knowing what was going on?

This is a bit too outrageous.

Moreover, looking at the description in the text, the symptoms seem familiar, including headaches, nausea, and vomiting, as well as skin ulcers and hair loss.

Jiang Xinghuo quit the game to the background, opened the mobile browser, and searched for related symptoms.

Many diseases can have these symptoms alone, but there is only one condition that can combine these symptoms and appear in a person at the same time - severe nuclear radiation!!
Jiang Xinghuo was stunned!!!
Are you kidding me?
How could there be nuclear radiation underneath this sinkhole?
Could there be a radiation source hidden underneath?

Why would Mr. Yellow River create such a thing and put it in his underground palace? Does he think his life is too comfortable?
How can this be done?

Jiang Xinghuo scratched his head and walked around the niche shop, wanting to see if there were any props or medicines that could resist radiation.

With my current strength, it would probably not be an easy task to withstand the severe radiation and successfully reach the bottom of the tiankeng.

Jiang Xinghuo searched around the niche and actually found a prop that had the ability to resist nuclear radiation.

"Item: Radiation Protection Suit."

"Consignor: Skilled Craftsman."

"Selling price: 500 incense sticks."

"Function: After equipping, it can improve radiation resistance and reduce the nuclear radiation dose you receive."

When Jiang Xinghuo saw it, he found it just met his needs. Without bargaining, he directly paid 500 incense sticks and bought the item.

Moreover, the other party is an old acquaintance. The Tiangong Instrument that was invented last time was developed by this skillful craftsman.

The skilled craftsman also recognized Jiang Xinghuo as an old customer, and gave him an anti-radiation pill to improve his radiation tolerance.

"You have been given a radiation suit."

"Radiation-proof suit (common item), a special item forged by the exile 'Craftsman', which has the function of resisting the radiation energy of atomic nuclei."

"You used a radiation suit."

Jiang Xinghuo put on the anti-radiation suit and took the anti-radiation drug, then he repeated his old tricks and went to explore the tiankeng again.

"You now understand the secret hidden under this sinkhole. The reason why your body is rapidly deteriorating is because there is a nuclear radiation source hidden under the sinkhole."

"This time, you are well prepared. Although you still feel a little uncomfortable, it is within your tolerance range."

"You slowly walked along the rope to the bottom of the cenote. There is a huge pit here, and the source of the nuclear radiation is in the middle of the pit."

"You want to be close to the source of the radiation."

"Your radiation suit has been damaged."

"Your skin is festering, your hair is falling out, and blood is oozing from your nostrils..."

"You were severely exposed to radiation."

"You finally approached the source of nuclear radiation, but your life also came to an end. Fortunately, you saw that thing before you died and grabbed it in your hand."

"You are dead."

"You have obtained..."
