My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 671 Iodine Monster

"Do you want to enter this secret room where the insects are raised?"

"Be careful, since this secret room is where King Longhe cultivates radiation Gu, it is filled with a large amount of nuclear radiation. Although many years have passed, there is no sign of reduction in the nuclear radiation here."

"Because this secret room is sealed, the nuclear radiation inside has accumulated to a terrifying stage."

"You were standing at the entrance to the chamber. Before you actually entered the chamber, your body was affected by the nuclear radiation."

"You feel a strong sense of nausea and vomiting, your skin becomes hot and itchy, your hair begins to fall out, and your skin begins to ulcerate at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing bright red tender flesh."

"You began to vomit blood, mixed with some internal organs. Your esophagus and airway have been severely corroded by nuclear radiation."

"You passed out in endless pain."

"You've got serious radiation complications."

"You are dead."

"Your body sensed the damage and contamination from nuclear radiation and spontaneously produced extremely weak antibodies."

"Your resistance to nuclear radiation has been slightly improved, +0.01."

"This weak antibody can't protect you from the damage caused by radiation. What are you going to do now?"

"Would you choose to use a scapegoat to revive yourself immediately and go deeper into the secret room despite the nuclear radiation pollution? Or would you leave this secret room for the time being and try to find a way to resist the nuclear radiation pollution before coming back?"

Jiang Xinghuo tried to activate the scapegoat and brought him back to life outside the secret room, but the subsequent results did not change and he was still contaminated to death by the strong nuclear radiation.

Moreover, even the scapegoat was affected by the nuclear radiation.

"Your scapegoat has been affected by the Law of the Great Fission, and its abilities have been greatly weakened and suppressed."

"Your scapegoat cannot be used for the time being. It needs to be freed from nuclear radiation contamination and cooled down for a period of time before it can be used again."

Jiang Xinghuo opened the backpack panel and saw that the scapegoat had turned gray and could not be selected at all, so there was no way he could use it.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo tried to find dog food and grave cakes, but these two things also turned gray.

Jiang Xinghuo finally understood that under the influence of the law of the great fission, all resurrection items could not be used.

This means that if he died here, he would have to wait for a few hours for his physical strength to cool down.

However, Jiang Xinghuo noticed that there was one item that was not affected. It was something he found in the Fu Shuai Bao Yun Cave Heaven. (Chapter 507)
"Calamity Mirror (Excellent Item), an ancient mirror stained with fragments of the fur of the Law of Calamity. After integrating it into the body, it can protect the host from disaster once. Cooling time: 24 hours."

This is a mirror formed by the Law of Calamity, which can protect the host from disaster once. Because fragments of the Law of Calamity are fused into his body, the cooling time is shortened to twelve hours.

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the item and chose to use it, and the game character was resurrected again in the ancestral hall.

However, this time, Jiang Xinghuo did not stubbornly choose to stay any longer, but immediately controlled the game character to leave the ancestral hall.

But even so, he was affected by the nuclear radiation in the secret room, and his vitality began to slowly decline.

"You have been contaminated by nuclear radiation. Your physical and mental health has been greatly affected. Your vitality is continuing to decline..."

"You have triggered the fragment of the law of calamity in your body."

"The calamity law in your body sensed the calamity force derived from the nuclear radiation and automatically cleared this weak calamity force from your body."

"Nuclear radiation pollution can no longer affect you."

This sudden change surprised Jiang Xinghuo, but he immediately understood what was going on. The law of the Great Fission originated from the outer space and was the power wielded by the Great Fission Immortal.

The law of calamity has the characteristic of 'not being able to recover from a myriad of calamities'. Lord Lingguan used the power of this law to kill the Star Lord Zhusui in the past. Naturally, this weak nuclear radiation force has no effect on him.

Unfortunately, the fragments of the Law of Calamity in his body were too scarce and could not compete with the nuclear radiation emitted by the Radiation Gu. Otherwise, he would be able to enter and exit the secret room freely with the help of the Law of Calamity.

But there is no other way. He had also explored the Earth Mother Cave where Master Lingguan obtained the fragment of the Law of Calamity, but he didn't gain anything. If he wanted to find the remaining fragments of the Law of Calamity, he could only rely on luck.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking about these things, he found the Medicine Fairy Gourd from his magic bag and replenished his lost blood.

"Your vitality has been fully restored."

"What are your plans next?"

"Will you continue to the secret room in the ancestral hall to search for the traces of the radiation Gu? Or will you choose to bypass this matter and continue to explore deeper into the water palace?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it. He felt reluctant to leave just like that. The treasure was right in front of him. It would be a pity to miss it. If he hadn't found it, it would have been the end. But now he had discovered the existence of this radiation insect. If he didn't want to find a way to get this thing out and see what it was, he always felt itchy in his heart as if something was missing.

But if he continues to stubbornly attack the ancestral hall, the result will probably not change. If he doesn't find a way to resolve the deadly threat posed by nuclear radiation, he will not be able to enter this map.

Jiang Xinghuo recalled the time when he explored the Yellow River Underground Palace.

There is also a source of nuclear radiation pollution under the tiankeng. He barely got down there with the help of a few props. Now it seems he has to go to the niche again.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo returned to the shrine in Huaiyin Water Palace, activated the shrine's teleportation function, and teleported himself back to Fuchun Teahouse in Beiping City, intending to see if there were any props that could resist nuclear radiation.

But the result disappointed him a little. The Fuchun Teahouse in Beiping City did not have what he wanted.

So, Jiang Xinghuo was teleported to other unlocked maps through the shrine.

Finally, a biological suit that could resist nuclear radiation contamination was found in a teahouse in Xishen City.

"Item: Nuclear contaminated biological suit."

"Sender: A skilled craftsman."

"Incense: 200."

"Function: Can slightly resist the damage and threats brought by nuclear radiation."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the price and it wasn't expensive, but what did this slight resistance mean?
After some thought.

Jiang Xinghuo decided to buy the item and wait and see about its effect after using it.

"You lost the incense -200."

"You have been given a nuclear contamination biological suit."

"Nuclear Contaminated Biochemical Suit (Excellent Item), made by the Exile 'Craftsman' using iodine monster skin as raw material. It can effectively resist the threat of nuclear radiation pollution. However, due to the low grade of the manufacturing materials, the biochemical suit will show signs of corrosion after contact with nuclear pollution. The duration of corrosion is closely related to the concentration of nuclear radiation pollution."

"Do you want to put on this nuclear contamination biohazard suit immediately?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to equip the clothes and teleported back to the depths of Huaiyin Water Palace. "You chose to go to the ancestral hall where the secret room for breeding Gu is located."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You have arrived at the ancestral hall."

"You entered the ancestral hall, and your body felt the burning sensation from the nuclear radiation. The protective suit on your body also began to show signs of corrosion."

"You came to the entrance of the secret room and rushed in without hesitation. The nuclear radiation in the secret room became more and more serious, and most of your protective suit had been corroded."

"When you reach the middle of the chamber, the protective suit on your body is completely corroded, and your body begins to decay rapidly."

"You are dead."

"However, before your body was completely corroded by the nuclear radiation, you saw a little light emanating from the middle of the secret room. That should be the real treasure in this secret room for breeding Gu, and it is also the revenge Gu that King Longhe successfully cultivated."

Died again!!

Jiang Xinghuo sighed speechlessly. He was just one step away. If this protective suit could last a little longer, he should be able to get the things in the secret room.

But this matter is hard to say. The things placed in this secret room for breeding insects should be the source of the nuclear pollution. If a solution to the nuclear pollution is not found, even if I get the radiation insect, I will most likely die at its hands and will not be able to use it for myself.

Jiang Xinghuo scrolled through the text records again and found that the nuclear-contaminated biological suit he bought was made of the skin of a monster called iodine monster.

The reason why this item was corroded by nuclear pollution is because the grade of the materials used to make it is too low. If it were made of high-quality materials, would its resistance be improved?
Jiang Xinghuo decided to ask the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian, but he died in the secret room where the Gu were raised, and other resurrection items could not be used, so he could only wait quietly for a few hours.

Eight hours later.

Jiang Xinghuo woke up beside the shrine in Huaiyin Water Palace. He immediately activated the magic order in his hand and came to the blacksmith shop.

"You have arrived at the blacksmith shop of Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian."

"You found the Taoist Master Shen Ji Bai Lian and proposed to forge a piece of protective armor that can resist the threat posed by nuclear radiation."

"When Taoist Shen Ji Bai Lian heard your intention, he said that it is not difficult to forge this kind of tool, but the key is that the materials are rare. If you can find the corpse of the iodine monster, it can use it to make what you want for you."

It's the iodine monster again.

Jiang Xinghuo remembered the name, left the blacksmith shop, and came to the Fuchun Teahouse.

"You came to Fuchun Teahouse."

"The storyteller held a wooden stick and gave a profound lecture on the stage. After a long and impassioned speech, the waiter came down with a tray to collect the tips."

"You gave him 100 incense sticks and said you wanted to ask him something. The waiter smiled and turned around with the tray, then came back to you."

Jiang Xinghuo understood the rule and knew that they thought 50 incense sticks were too little and not enough to ask the storyteller.

"You gave another 100 incense sticks as a reward."

"The boy still smiled as he walked around with the tray, and finally came back to you."

Too little?
Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that you are a bit too greedy. You haven't done anything yet, but you've already collected 200 incense sticks.

"Do you want to continue to reward?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose no.

"You took the incense from the tray back and put the extra incense in your pocket."

"You have obtained, Incense +370."

"Your behavior has left everyone stunned. They have never seen anyone ask for back the incense they gave away."

"The waiter at the teahouse also acted out of character and immediately called over the thugs in the teahouse, intending to teach you a lesson."

"After a very easy fight, you knocked down all the thugs, rushed up to the platform and slapped the storyteller twice, then revealed your identity."

"Your reputation among storytellers has long been known, and your status is comparable to those of the elders. It is not something that an ordinary storyteller like it can compare to. It originally wanted to extort money from you because you are a stranger, but it didn't expect to offend the wrong person."

"The storyteller hurriedly said that if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as it knows, I will tell you everything."

Jiang Xinghuo thought that this was just a case of him itching for trouble. No matter how he tried to talk to him nicely, he had to give him a slap in the face.

He also found it troublesome, so he decided to go directly to Huangliang Hutong in Beiping and ask the old storyteller.

"Ask the storyteller if he has any information about the iodine monster."

"The storyteller nodded repeatedly and said that the iodine monsters were a race of monsters in the secular world that lived in the mountains. Because they have the ability to resurrect from the dead, they are often used as medicine in the secular world. They are the most commonly used medicine for treating goiter and are also a commonly used medicine for treating nuclear radiation."

"It is said that there is a group of iodine monsters living in the mountains of Kanto. If you want to find the traces of these iodine monsters, you can go to the deep mountains of Kanto to find out."

"You have obtained the clue of the iodine monster."

"What's your next choice?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't waste any time. He activated the shrine and teleported to Guandong. Then he went to Fuchun Teahouse and found out the specific whereabouts of the iodine monster.

"You have come to the Black Mother Temple at the foot of Huangwai Mountain."

"Ghosts are rampant in the secular world at night, and the mountains of Kanto are even more treacherous and changeable. There are countless powerful monsters lurking there. What are you going to do now?"

"Would you choose to go up the mountain at night to look for traces of the iodine monster? Or would you rest in the Black Mother Temple for a night and wait until the sun comes out the next morning before going into the mountain?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and realized that since he was affected by nuclear radiation, he couldn't use any resurrection items. It would be better to be careful and prudent. Otherwise, he would have to wait for another 8 hours if he died in the mountains, which would only waste time.

"You chose to stay in the Black Mother Temple to rest for the night."

"Look carefully at this Black Mother Temple. Black Mother is the patron saint of the entire Guandong area and one of the three ancestors outside the Guandong area. She has a close relationship with both Buddhism and Taoism."

"Most of Black Mama's disciples and followers are like Black Mama, with gentle personalities and rarely make enemies with others. When encountering difficult problems, they usually take the initiative to help."

"You have triggered the Qilin Blessing."

"You heard a faint groaning sound coming from outside the Black Mother Temple, as well as rough scolding and a foul smell."

"Do you want to go out of the temple and take a look?"
