Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 171 Isn’t it normal for enemies to have friends and relatives?

After completing his first mission in the reincarnation space, Fang Yi had a good understanding of the use of merits.

Merit points are obtained through the reincarnation's performance in the mission world and after the final settlement of the mission world.

In addition to exchanging followers and many things in the Merit Store, there is another use - to lock onto the mission world where the target reincarnation is located and hunt him down.

Fang Yi's current situation is just like the situation seven days ago when he submitted his merit points to lock onto the world where Chen Cheng was carrying out his mission, sneaked in to hunt him down, and was locked down by someone using his merit points.

Although he didn't know the difference between the usage of merit points in the main god space and the reincarnation space, and whether it was possible to consume merit points to unlock this lock, Fang Yi was not going to dwell on such meaningless things.

Merit points are obtained by completing tasks in the mission world and settling accounts when you return.

Although Fang Yi retained the number of the main god space, as long as he did not give up his identity in the reincarnation space and decided to endure the pursuit of the reincarnation space, he could not receive the settlement rewards in the main god space, nor use most of the functions provided to the reincarnationists in the main god space.

For example, buying items, spending money, and adding skill levels above lv4 in the main god space are very likely to be regarded as acts of betrayal by the reincarnation space according to the prompts of the main god space.

But the main god space provides a roundabout strategy to save the country. These points and plot points can be used on followers. He can summon followers to help in the mission world that is touched by the main god space.

So when Fang Yi saw the message from the Lord God Space saying, "You have been locked by a Lord God Space reincarnator of unknown number by expending merit," followed by no other messages, he simply scratched his head and began to wonder which person in the Lord God Space he had offended.
-
The people from the main god space that he met along the way appeared in his mind. Fang Yi touched his chin for the first time in a long time and began to eliminate the wrong answers.

"First of all, it's unlikely that Li Gui and Wang Zhen are relatives. They are most likely orphans who asked me to go back and scatter their ashes into the rivers.

"Besides, strictly speaking, I didn't kill these two.

"What about Chen Cheng? It's possible, but unlikely. Obviously, his elders are from the Samsara Dimension, and if they want to lock it, it would be the Samsara Dimension that sends the notification.

"Excluding low-probability events, there's only one answer: the person or relatives behind Liao Lin are targeting me."

Fang Yi took out the treasure chest he got after killing Liao Lin from his personal space. He now suspected that these unknown enemies used the things in the treasure chest to lock onto him through the system of the main god space.

After opening Liao Lin's treasure chest, Fang Yi got two items.

Two poisonous insects in a glass bottle, and a book printed on both sides of A4 paper and simply bound with a stapler.

As Fang Yi's mind moved, the chaos where he stood instantly turned into a familiar martial arts gym.

Ignoring the two women who seemed to be whispering, Fang Yi sat on the familiar chair, placed the two items extracted from Liao Lin's space on the table, and began to observe them.

Fang Yi flipped through the printed and bound book and saw the four big characters "Secret Book of Gu Poison". The content on the paper seemed to be a scan of a handwritten copy of an ancient book. Some of the paper had creases and signs of deformation after being turned over.

Obviously, this is a book that someone has been reading.

Fang Yi even saw colorful stickers on the paper to mark the content for quick search, as well as slightly larger sticky notes with handwritten comments on them.

It seems that this is what the late Liao Lin had been working hard to study during his lifetime.

After quickly reading some of the content, Fang Yi found that this was a medical book and also a book about poisons. There were many words and allusions in it that Fang Yi had never understood or mastered.

Considering that professional matters should be left to professionals, Fang Yi decided to give the "Secret Book of Poison" directly to Shinobu Kocho for research.

It's just right to give this female swordsman something to do to prevent her from getting bored and starting a fight with Miss Mitsuri Kanroji.

After gaining a general understanding of the contents of the handwritten copy of "The Secret Book of Gu Poison", Fang Yi turned his attention to the two poisonous insects in the glass bottle.

Fang Yi vaguely saw through the glass bottle that in addition to the two poisonous insects, there were also some human skin fragments and unknown flesh and blood, as well as some medicinal herbs that he could not name.

When Fang Yi was looking at the world inside the glass bottle, the poisonous insects seemed to have ended their hibernation and became active again after being taken out of the space and the glass bottle was shaken.

Like a hungry hyena that had finally killed its prey, it began to gnaw on the remaining flesh and blood in the bottle.

Fang Yi's eyes were fixed on the miniature world in the bottle, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation.

He wanted to observe the behavior of these poisonous insects, record their food intake and living habits, and study how to use these poisonous insects.

But what happened in the bottle next made him feel that these poisonous insects were not that simple.
-
It seemed that because there was not enough flesh and blood left in the bottle, the only two remaining poisonous insects in the bottle began to fight against their own kind in this small world.

At the moment Fang Yi was watching, a larger poisonous insect and another weaker poisonous insect started a brutal fight.

Their bodies were entangled together, and Fang Yi could hear the subtle but disturbing friction sound made by the two when they fought through the bottle.

A moment later, Fang Yi saw the larger poisonous insect use its sharp mouthparts, like a crab's claws, to bite the opponent's abdomen hard, successfully tearing off a piece of flesh.

After a fierce fight, the larger and stronger insect finally won.

The larger poisonous insect did not give the weaker one a chance to resist after its first strike, and tore it to pieces completely.

Then, without hesitation, he feasted on the enemy's flesh and blood, swallowing it whole in a few seconds.

Fang Yi could clearly see the process of the insect swallowing. The swallowed broken limbs and flesh were digested rapidly at an incredible speed, as if accumulating energy for the insect's next mutation.

As he expected, the insect that had swallowed the flesh and blood of its own kind remained calm for only a few seconds before its body began to undergo incredible changes.

As the insect began to struggle, complex and strange patterns gradually emerged on the surface of its skin. These patterns were like ancient runes used by mages and seemed to have some unknown meaning.

The pattern that appeared on the insect's body was just a faint shadow at first, but as time went on, it gradually became clearer and began to emit a faint light.

This light seemed to be a symbol of some inner strength, surging within the insect's body, shrouding the entire world in the bottle in a mysterious atmosphere.

Fang Yi felt an uneasy atmosphere emanating from the bottle, as if the entire world in the bottle was quietly changing because of the changes in this insect.

It is no longer the ordinary poisonous insect it was before, but has become a more powerful and dangerous existence.

These patterns are not just decorations, they seem to represent an unknown power.

Just after the insect completed its 'evolution', Fang Yi was surprised to find that the insect seemed to be aware of Fang Yi's existence. It began to turn its body and look at Fang Yi, making a begging gesture, as if there was something on Fang Yi that the insect was craving for.

Fang Yi stared at the poisonous insect, somewhat undecided.

[Does it rely on devouring its own kind to evolve? Until we understand the purpose and species of these insects, it's best not to remove the Gu worms for now.]

Is there something about me that this bug needs?

[Will there be any unknown consequences if I kill the Gu? It's best not to act rashly to be on the safe side.]

Having made the decision, Fang Yi put the glass bottle back into his personal space and prepared to hand over the two items to the professional Miss Shinobu Kocho for research.

The enemy may rely on this kind of insect to complete the lock on itself, but now the opponent's lock has been completed.

With the limited information currently provided by the main divine space, he did not know what special restrictions this lock had.

The specific effect of this lock can only be viewed after entering the mission world as indicated in the main god space.

Therefore, the countermeasure method that Fang Yi decided to take was also very simple, which was to find and kill the enemy who tried to hunt him in the next mission world.

Fang Yi had made this preparation when he killed someone. Just as he would take revenge on the enemy who killed him if he survived by chance, he was also prepared for the enemy's relatives and friends to come and seek revenge on him.

After all, most novel authors write about family and friends for the villain, so aren’t they there for the protagonist to kill?

Fang Yi withdrew his thoughts and turned to study the next mission world. He began to think about what he could do with the only 7000 points in his reincarnation space.
-
After Fang Yi won the [Bloody Duel], the long-silent reincarnation space turned over like a zombie that had been lying there for a long time, moved a little, sent information about his next mission world, and then fell silent again.

[Due to unknown factors, your next mission world has been temporarily changed to a Tier 2 mission world] [Your main quest has changed, please check after entering the mission world]

[Since the difficulty of this mission world exceeds your current level, we are publishing all the basic information of this mission world to you.]
-
The basic information of the mission world is as follows:

[Keywords: Dangerous species, Imperial weapon, Millennium Empire, Assassination confrontation]

[Mode: Peaceful Mode]

[Difficulty: Hard]

[There are 8 hours left before the mission starts. Before the mission starts, some players will be forced to teleport to the space for preparation. When the mission starts, all players will be forced to teleport to the mission world.]

Note 1: This mission world is a world that is not completely controlled by the reincarnation space. You may encounter reincarnations from different spaces. Killing them will give you a chance to gain extra benefits.

Note 2: This mission world is an [Unfinished Development] mission world, and there may be reincarnations who inherit the progress of the previous mission world.

Note 3: This quest world has been loaded with the [Module·Alchemy]. You can obtain the relevant skills and items of the [Alchemist] profession through the related quests of [Alchemy].
-
Fang Yi thought about it and finally found the cruel, bloody and bizarre anime series from his memory.

In those days, it was relatively rare to see anime series in which many of the main characters died, and most of them died in an unpleasant way, which naturally left a deep impression on Fang Yi.

The head of a female assassin named Chelsea that was hung on the flagpole at that time really left a big psychological shadow on Fang Yi.

I just don’t know what the progress of the plot of this mission world is, and whether the mission world is mainly based on comics or animation.

Is it in the prequel, Akagi Kill: Zero, when the heroine Akame is still receiving training in the Imperial Assassination Corps, or is it already at the stage where the Imperial weapon users [Hunter] and [Night Raid] are fighting against each other?

This factor will affect Fang Yi's thinking in advancing the task.

Also, will the organization "Wild Hounds" founded by the minister's son "Sheila", which did not appear in the animation, appear? These enemies are also very tricky.

Especially the minister's son [Sheila], who also has the ability to transfer space. Like Teddy in heat, he likes to play with women everywhere and has a habit of torturing and killing women.

It is an unstable factor that needs to be dealt with.

At the same time, the assassination organization "Oberg" mentioned in the prequel and the "Tomb Guardian" organization in the edge of the empire that possesses secret techniques from the West Country exist.

Will these organizations that should have been destroyed be preserved as branches that can provide more rewards to reincarnators under the influence of space?

What's even more terrible is that this world is an [unfinished development] world like a spell. Obviously, some reincarnations have changed part of the plot like Fang Yi, and can also inherit the progress of the mission world.

This basically adds a lot of uncertainty to this mission.

Fang Yi thought for a while and began to check the instructions of [Module·Alchemy].
-
The target mission world is equipped with [Module·Alchemy], and its effects are explained as follows:
[Module Alchemy]:
1. The quest world contains a quest line for becoming an [Alchemist]. Please explore and research it on your own.

2. In alchemy-related tasks, the speed of improving alchemy-related skills is accelerated, and the probability of producing alchemy-related skill scrolls is increased.

3. Reincarnationists who master stronger alchemy will gain a higher status in the mission world.

[The following content will be unlocked after a certain progress in alchemy-related tasks].
-
Space is given to this module. Obviously, [Alchemy] is more important in the mission world.

In addition, Fang Yi vaguely remembered that alchemy also had a good performance in the original work.

Although alchemy is not described in much detail in the original novel of Kill an Aka, it does have a certain plot in the comics.

This technology, which came from the distant [West Country], seems to be related to the manufacture of imperial weapons.

In the comics, there is also a scene where the alchemist of "Wild Hound" uses the "Philosopher's Stone" to block the one-hit kill effect of the Red-Eyed Imperial Artifact.

And the final super-large imperial weapon like Gundam was also enhanced using [Alchemy] in the original work.

According to the relevant description of [Module·Alchemy], this world's [Alchemy] is a side quest that can generate profits. It has a significant impact on the plot and needs to be explored as much as possible.

To be on the safe side, Fang Yi still needs to reserve some more points to explore this branch task in depth, so as to reduce the difficulty of the main task.

He did not forget the forbidden skill [Bloody Alchemy] which was best not to be used in front of others. On the surface, he still had to learn some skills related to [Alchemy] to gain some knowledge as a cover to prevent exposing this forbidden skill in front of others.

Although he knows nothing, he uses [Bloody Alchemy] to demonstrate extremely high alchemical skills, which may lead to unnecessary malice and investigation.

It's like entering a competition with many big names and trying to win a prize without knowing anything. This can easily lead to unnecessary trouble, so you still have to do some superficial work.

Fang Yi plans to go to the reincarnation space to find Boss Wuwei to see if he has any relevant skill recommendations and use some points to upgrade some skills.
-
When talking about [Alchemy] and [Imperial Equipment], it is probably impossible not to mention the dangerous species in the mission world.

According to the original plot, the meat of these wonderful creatures has the effect of improving their attributes when eaten as food.

The Empire's institution for cultivating strong people, the King of Fighters Temple, will give people the flesh and blood of dangerous species to improve their physical fitness and speed up the students' ability to control their body muscles.

Most of the [Imperial Equipment] are also made of materials from dangerous species, although Fang Yi has the [Transparent World] as an aid to better separate dangerous species.

He still needed to learn some skills related to dealing with dangerous species and other fantasy creatures, including the "Prey Processing" skills of how to bleed, skin, process the internal organs, divide the limbs, and preserve the materials in order to better gain benefits from the dangerous species.

At the same time, the [Prey Handling] skills can also be used to try to improve the favor of [Esdeath], who has been hunting dangerous species since childhood and obtaining materials from them.

This female general is extremely powerful in combat and is also considerate of her subordinates. She can try to gain their help when Fang Yi is being hunted.

Of course, the specific situation depends on the camp given by the main task. If there is a choice, Fang Yi does not want to be hostile to this person with exaggerated strength.

After analyzing the information provided by the reincarnation space for a long time, Fang Yi decided on two major directions.

In the case that there are no plot points in the reincarnation space to break through key level skills, try to enhance your own combat power by starting with supplies and consumables.

At the same time, in order to gain more advantages from the mission world, you should also focus on [Prey Processing] skills and [Alchemy] related skills.

The [Secret Book of Poison] and the strange poisonous insect that might cause her to be locked were given to Shinobu Kocho for research. She would accompany these two followers in the main god space to strengthen them.

Fang Yi turned to look at the two women who had become "harmonious", and prepared to take them to visit the main god space.

He wanted to see if there were any differences between the main god space and the reincarnation space.
-
At the same time, in this world, a stronghold appeared.

Yuan Zhongli looked at the strong man in front of him and gave his orders.

"The poisonous insect I placed on Liao Lin for transportation is no ordinary thing, and the person who can kill him must be extraordinary.

"The person who killed Liao Lin is the special person I'm looking for.

"Yuan Qi, go kill him.

"Be sure to be careful when killing this time. The enemy is not weak. Don't die."

Yuan Qi nodded and made a promise.

"In a world of Tier 2, unless you encounter someone like you or someone like Li Yang.

“Otherwise, I am invincible when I am specifically suppressing this level.

"Also, according to the divination before his death, the enemy is good at swordsmanship, and I am least afraid of enemies who use swordsmanship!

"This battle has only one ending, and that is me killing the enemy."
