My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 613 Yinghuo
Mars?

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly when he saw the text content. For some reason, after seeing this name, he subconsciously thought of Zhusui Xingjun.

Yinghuo is another name for Mars. Could it be that this star god Yinghuo is also a monster from outer space?

Jiang Xinghuo was lost in thought, but the game text was not idle, and another interactive option popped up on its own.

"Do you want to enter this room and talk to the Mars Lord?"

The game gave two answers to choose from. Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and finally chose to go in and talk to the other party.

Anyway, the coffin nail has been integrated into his body now. Unless he takes it out on his own initiative, even if the Mars Lord kills him, he will not be able to get the coffin nail.

He could take this opportunity to trigger some new tasks.

"You pushed the door open and walked into the house, and a rolling heat wave swept in. However, the flames that should have burned everything were now confined inside the house and had no impact on the outside."

"And your arrival has made the Star Lord of Mars even more excited. It has sealed itself off here for countless years in order to uncover the secret of the power of the end and find the true source of this power."

"But it was never able to fulfill its wish. Instead, it underestimated the disaster this power would bring, and its spirit was polluted by the power of the end."

"If it weren't for the fact that it was born on Mars and had a natural resistance to fire, it would have been like those irrational disordered people, wandering around the City of Origin all day, forever trapped in insane madness."

"So, when the Mars Lord discovered that you were able to move freely in the city without being bothered, he was so surprised that he couldn't express it in words. He was very curious about why you were able to avoid the pollution of the Mad Fire."

"Are you going to tell the other person about the coffin nails?"

Jiang Xinghuo hesitated for a moment, but quickly made his decision. He refused to tell the Lord of Mars about the existence of the coffin nails.

"You didn't answer the question of the Star Lord of Mars, but the Star Lord of Mars is eager to know the answer, because he doesn't have much time. Even though he is a star life born from outer space, he still feels helpless in the face of this force that is enough to end all things."

"If we can't find a way to resolve the insanity pollution in it, it won't be long before it completely falls into madness and confusion, losing itself and becoming a lost monster."

"The True Lord Yinghuo has attacked you. Since you are unwilling to tell the truth, then it will come to you on its own!"

"You have been attacked by the Mars Lord."

"Your cultivation level is not enough to compete with the opponent. After just one encounter, you were severely injured by the opponent."

"The Mars God lay on top of you, ripped open your chest, and took out your heart, liver, and internal organs, wanting to replace them with his own body. However, as soon as they came into contact with the flames on his body, all of your organs immediately turned into ashes and dissipated."

"Having returned empty-handed, the Mars Star Lord went berserk, and violent Mars Sky Fire swept out, instantly turning the entire house into a sea of ​​fire, and your body was also reduced to ashes in the flames."

"At the same time, the influence of the insane fire on it became more and more obvious. Before you lost consciousness, you seemed to have seen the scene after the head of the Mars Lord exploded."

"You are dead."

Bright red fonts flashed on the phone screen. Jiang Xinghuo put down the phone and rubbed his brows. The familiar feeling of fatigue surged over his body again. This was the sequelae of dying too many times.

Jiang Xinghuo got up and washed his face, but did not force himself to resurrect. It would be a waste of time to fall asleep again.

Go to bed first!
Wait until I recover tomorrow!!

There was no talking all night, and the next morning.

After Jiang Xinghuo got up in the morning, the first thing he did was to pick up his mobile phone, open the game and log into his account.

He wanted to see whether Mars died with him yesterday. If the other party's head exploded in his haste, then he would have made a profit.

"You woke up next to the Skywalker's monument."

"You have come to the place where the Mars Lord is again."

"But unlike when you came yesterday, this time you didn't feel the heat coming towards you, and the room was dead silent, without any sound."

"You leaned your head inside the house and saw the headless Mars Lord wandering around the house unconsciously. The flames of the power of the end filled his surroundings, turning all the furnishings into ashes."

"But you found a stone book on the ground in the corner. Do you want to pick it up?"

When Jiang Xinghuo read the description in the text, he thought that the Mars Lord was unlucky and could have held on for a while longer.

As a result, I was in a state of anxiety last night, and the insanity took advantage of the opportunity and completely polluted my mind. I lost my clarity and rationality, and became a walking corpse.

If these monsters were to be released into the outside world, they would be powerful enough to intimidate others.

But now he died here silently, without even a peaceful rest, and could only wander here forever in damnation.

"You took the risk of being contaminated by the Mad Fire and picked up the book that seemed to be made of stone."

"You have obtained the Ancient Book of Mars."

"The Ancient Book of Mars (Excellent Item), a book forged by Mars Star Lord from meteorites. It can not only withstand the erosion of time, but also withstand the burning of thunder and fire. Although it has no special abilities, the contents recorded on it can be preserved forever and is difficult to damage."

"Be careful, since this ancient book is forged from a meteorite, if it is ignited with heavenly fire and thrown out, its power will be no less than that of a meteorite from outer space."

"Do you want to read this ancient book on Mars?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the game interaction popped up, Jiang Xinghuo had no time to choose before the original option was suddenly interrupted and replaced by a new text.

"You were attacked by the disordered being 'Yinghuo Xingjun'."

"For some reason, the unconscious and wandering Mars suddenly launched a fierce attack on you, and a large amount of flames rushed towards you."

"Although you are not contaminated by the insane fire, your body cannot withstand the scorching heat. How do you plan to deal with this situation?"

Jiang Xinghuo curled his lips and thought, what else can I do? Just chill! If his skills were not blocked, he could use the fire gathering method to merge all the flames into the Kitchen God Fire. Not only would he not be harmed, but he could also increase the level of the Kitchen God Fire.

Now...just wait to die!

suddenly,

Jiang Xinghuo remembered the spell 'Galaxy Force Field' that he had obtained a few days ago.

The Lone Star Immortal spent many years painstakingly researching this magic, which is said to be able to rebound and deflect all magical attacks. The fire of the Mars Lord should also be considered a magical attack, right?

Give it a try? Jiang Xinghuo made up his mind and immediately opened the skill panel, found the option of Galaxy Force Field, and then clicked to use it.

"You have activated the galactic force field."

"The space in front of you instantly turned into a brilliant galaxy, bouncing back all the heavenly fire shot by the Mars Star Lord."

Jiang Xinghuo's eyes lit up. Oh, it works!

"The Mars Lord cannot hurt you, and has once again turned into a walking corpse, slowly wandering away unconsciously, completely disappearing from your sight."

This was originally a plain game text, but Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why does he feel that something is wrong?
Logically speaking, the disordered people who were contaminated by the power of the end would lose all their reason and thinking, and would only wander around unconsciously. How could they take the initiative to attack others?
At the beginning, Jiang Xinghuo went to Huangliang Hutong in Beiping and found the storyteller to check the relevant information. The result was that the disordered people would not take the initiative to attack others!

But the Mars God obviously attacked him, as if... he had received some special instructions.

Could it be that,
Its attack on itself just now was not a coincidence, but some unknown existence gave it the order to attack itself?

If his guess was correct, who was the person who issued the order? What was the other party's purpose?
Jiang Xinghuo quickly came up with an answer.

If there really is someone who can control these disordered people behind the scenes, then the other party's identity is obvious, and it is very likely that he is the one who holds the law of the end.

As for why the other party wanted to attack him, it was probably because of the coffin nail. He wanted to know why the Law of the End did not work on him.

However, all of this was just Jiang Xinghuo's random guess. Whether it was true or false could not be confirmed for the time being. It was also possible that he was simply overthinking it.

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head, put the thoughts in his mind aside, and turned to look at the ancient book on Mars that he had just obtained.

"You opened this meteorite book and got a glimpse of why the Mars Lord came here."

"The Star Lord of Mars recorded in the book that he originally wanted to take the power of the end for himself and transform the sky fire he controlled into a flame containing the power of the end. However, he did not expect that in the end, not only did he fail, but he also became infected with that terrifying power. He can only place his hope on the City of Origin, hoping that they can research a solution to this problem."

"However, it doesn't know how much time it has left to be awake, so it records its research results every day in this book made of meteorites. Even if it fails one day, if someone gets this book, they can learn from it."

Ok?
After seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo's opinion of the Mars Star Lord changed a little. He originally thought that the Mars Star Lord was also an extremely cruel monster.

After all, when they first met, it summoned heavenly fire to kill itself in order to obtain the secret of itself.

But now it seems that it is not that kind of cruel and bloody ghost.

"However, as time went on, the Star Lord of Mars found that he had changed more and more. Not only was his thinking and reasoning confused, but his personality had also become violent and erratic, and he often had the thought of destroying everything in the world."

"In addition, when the Star Lord of Mars was studying the power of the end, he also discovered something. He found that this power did not seem to be ownerless, but there was an extremely mysterious will controlling it from behind."

"The Star Lord of Mars also accidentally noticed something, but in its current state it cannot verify this idea at all. It can only record some clues in this book. You can follow the records in the book and go to the library of the City of Origin to look for clues. It also left some things there in case of emergency."

After reading these paragraphs of game text descriptions, Jiang Xinghuo became more certain of his thoughts.

He was now almost certain that the power of the end that permeated the city was indeed controlled by a will, and that other party might be the culprit that caused the City of Origin to become what it is today.

"Where are you going next?"

"Will you choose to continue exploring in the Star Academy? Or will you leave the Star Academy and go somewhere else?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter.

The Star Academy is just a sub-map of the City of Origin. We cannot waste all our energy here. We have to explore other places.

For example, the library in the City of Origin.

He now has several clues about the library.

"You chose to leave the Star Academy."

"You are back at the fork in the road outside. Please choose where you want to go next?"

But before Jiang Xinghuo could make a choice, the interactive option was interrupted again and new information appeared.

"The coffin nail that you integrated into your body sensed the whereabouts of the other two coffin nails, which were in different directions and positions."

"Do you plan to look for the other lost coffin nails first, or choose to explore other places?"

Needless to say, Jiang Xinghuo chose the former without hesitation.

He could visit other maps at any time, but if he didn't gather all the coffin nails, he wouldn't be able to explore those maps even if he unlocked them.

"You have chosen to search for the other two coffin nails. Please choose the direction you would like to explore."

Jiang Xinghuo randomly chose a direction, east, and then controlled the character to walk over there.

"Follow the guidance of the coffin nails and explore in the corresponding direction. We are on our way. Please wait..."

"You found a dirty night-scented man on your way. He is a follower of the Lord of the Five Grains Reincarnation. Wherever there is food, drink, defecation or urination, there are traces of him."

"The Ye Xiangfu you saw was emitting a foul odor and was covered with all kinds of unsightly stains, but you found something familiar under those dried stains."

"You resisted the danger of being covered in grain reincarnation objects, stepped forward, touched it, and pulled the thing off Ye Xiangfu's body."

"You have obtained the White Stone Key."

"The White Stone Key is the key to one of the seven secret rooms on the last floor of the Origin City Library. It has the same origin as the Gray Stone Key and has the same function."

"Continue on the road..."

"You found that Ye Xiangfu seems to be going in the same direction as where you are going. Do you want to follow Ye Xiangfu?"

"You chose..."

I was so full of sweet and sour pork today that I even had durian flavor! It was amazing!
