At the very edge of the Reincarnation Shrine, the rubble was cleared away, and a cursed snake the size of a thumb emerged.

vomit……

A pale arm emerged from the serpent's mouth, followed by its entire body.

Orochimaru, covered in slime, shook his head with a regretful expression and said, "How foolish, Jiraiya, he hasn't improved at all since then."

"how is this possible?"

Tsunade frowned.

Just as Jiraiya himself said, the [Prophet] has a very complex set of skills that can deal with all kinds of emergencies. Although his combat power is not strong, his ability to survive is definitely among the best.

Even Orochimaru couldn't have killed Jiraiya in just a few minutes.

This is also why Tsunade agreed to let Jiraiya test Orochimaru.

“I really have no way to kill a Level 40 [Prophet] with Lord-level strength in a short period of time.”

Orochimaru spread his hands dismissively and said, "But the corrupted monster can do that."

The hundreds of cursed snakes that had just been released were all killed.

However, one of the cursed snakes traveled as far as the outpost of the [Fallen Mountain Bandits].

Hundreds of corrupt bandits, and two bandit captains at the commander level, all of whom are high-level monsters at Lv.50.

Even with the strongest survival abilities, you'll still get surrounded and killed in a battle against someone of a higher level.

"From the very beginning, I was planning to provoke Jiraiya, but I didn't expect that the idiot would take the bait before I even said two words..."

"Still as despicable as ever, Orochimaru!"

Tsunade clenched her fists, veins bulging, and although she was angry, she did not do anything rash.

after all,

Jiraiya can be resurrected and can explore a special map called [Yomigae Road].

……

the other side,

Jiraiya, who had been besieged and killed by the corrupt mountain bandits, opened his eyes blankly and looked around.

The pitch-black night sky

A gray river, thick like mercury, flows backwards, hanging upside down in the sky.

The mountains and fields are covered with beautiful wildflowers, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Countless figures—men, women, old people, children, smartly dressed city dwellers, bandits with headscarves, knights in armor, mages in tattered robes…

They walked forward on tiptoe, their faces expressionless and their eyes vacant.

It was as if countless spirits from another world had gathered here to be reborn.

You have entered the special map [Road to the Underworld]. Please revive as soon as possible, or you will be completely devoured by the [King of the Underworld].

"There's a resurrection time limit?"

Jiraiya's expression changed drastically. He looked up and saw the end point where countless spirits had advanced.

A colossal skull, as large as heaven and earth, opened its mouth and devoured the undead that had reached their destination.

Above his head, there was a burning incense stick, slowly emitting wisps of blue smoke.

[Returning Soul Incense]: As long as the incense burns out, the soul returns; when the incense burns out completely, the soul enters the underworld. Remaining burning time: 3 days

Note: When the incense for reviving the soul goes out, the player will die.

"Sure enough, the higher the level of the reincarnation game map, the greater the penalty for death."

Jiraiya's expression was solemn.

The [Prophet's] premonition had already told him that the [Tier 4] map would be extremely dangerous, and now it has indeed come true.

"Where's the mission?"

Jiraiya opened the taskbar but didn't see any new tasks.

Prophetic perception...

With hands gathered at the center of the forehead, a faint radiance flowed out, converging at the center of the forehead to form the shape of an eye.

"Huff... I'm so tired. Just two seconds has used up almost half of my energy."

"The map level of the Road to the Underworld is too high!"

Jiraiya was panting heavily. His [Prophet's Sense] allowed him to vaguely perceive what was happening around him, making it an extremely powerful sensory skill.

In the new season's Black Myth map, the rules directly suppress its abilities, making it impossible to utilize them.

Once you reach the Road to the Underworld, you're no longer restricted, but because the map level is so high, the resource consumption is enormous.

"Have the in-game store, communication, teleportation functions, and even the ability to exit the game been cut off?"

In other words, if you can't gather enough [Yellow Spring Flowers] to be resurrected, you will be trapped on the Road to the Underworld indefinitely.

"We must go back as soon as possible and inform Tsunade and the others that the map of the Road to the Underworld is too bizarre, and we absolutely cannot die easily in the new season!"

Jiraiya quickly caught up with a slowly advancing spirit.

The moment you touch the dead,

[The Underworld Quest has been triggered]

Mission World: Attack on Titan

Mission objective: Defend against the giants' attack and protect [Wall of Mary].

Quest Reward: 1 Yellow Spring Flower.

Note: During the Underworld quest, the player's four main attributes, equipment, and skills will be sealed and converted into [Underworld Points].

Tip 2: Underworld Points can be used to purchase native goods from the mission world.

Tip 3: After leaving the mission world, the seal will be lifted, and game items purchased from [Underworld Points] will be automatically recycled. If you wish to keep them, you will need to spend reward points to purchase them.

Chapter 421 The Underworld Mission: The Giant About to Break Through the Wall

"Master, what's the point of issuing the [Underworld Mission]?"

Afu was puzzled and said, "The Konoha player who died already had the strength of [Tier 2]. Even if you threw him into the world of Attack on Titan, he wouldn't have much room to grow."

Attack on Titan is a [First Order] world.

The story of the [cycle] of the river of fate.

Suddenly, a kind of natural enemy of mankind appeared in the world: giants. They had no reason, were huge in size, and had only a crazy desire to devour humans.

Driven by the threat of death, humanity built three giant circular walls to imprison themselves and escape the giants' attacks.

The world's strength and the concentration of its inherent essence.

Just like Afu said, it's very low, at most it's similar to Demon Slayer.

[Tier 2] Players thrown into [Giants' World] are unable to obtain enough reward points.

Afu said, "Instead of issuing Yellow Springs quests to fulfill the obsessions of countless souls from other worlds, it would be better to let players use reward points to buy Yellow Springs Flowers."

These Underworld Missions are essentially about resolving the obsessions of the deceased.

Countless otherworldly realms exist, filled with countless spirits of the dead. Those with deep-seated obsessions are led to the Underworld, where they are ultimately devoured by the [King of the Underworld].

Seeing Afu's inquisitive gaze, Fang Yi didn't keep him in suspense and explained, "[The Road to the Underworld] is very special. Although it belongs to the polluted world, its alignment is absolutely neutral. Apart from guiding the souls of the dead who have not yet given up their obsessions, it does nothing else."

Afu nodded in agreement.

"These spirits from countless other worlds have deep attachments; even after death, they are unwilling to dissipate and linger in the world."

“By helping them resolve their obsessions, we can guide them into the cycle of reincarnation.”

Fang Yi's eyes lit up; these were all top-notch players.

While resurrection coins can [revive], they consume a lot of essence.

[Tier 1] is fine, but as players gradually grow to [Tier 2], the amount of essence required for resurrection also increases accordingly.

The resurrection coin's resurrection effect is like Fang Yi paying money to buy someone from [Yellow Spring Ghost King].

The Underworld Mission is essentially bypassing the Underworld King and secretly abducting the undead, which can greatly save on expenses.

Therefore,

Why not just cancel the reward points required for player resurrection and instead allow players to recruit new players for the reincarnation game, where recruiting new players would grant them free resurrection?

In this way, Fang Yi wouldn't need to exhaust himself running around to different worlds; he could directly recruit a large number of outstanding newcomers.

……

Narrow streets, densely packed low-rise houses.

The familiar, thick, high walls, like a shield, surrounded all the buildings.

The blurry vision gradually cleared.

"Didn't I... die?"

Allen's eyes widened suddenly, and he stretched out his hands, looking at his unharmed body in disbelief.

The streets were filled with villagers watching the spectacle.

The heavy city wall was lowered, and accompanied by the melodious sound of bells, a group of remnants of the army slowly emerged from the hole in the wall.

This scene seems so familiar.

They're from the Survey Corps!

Something's not right... Is this the already fallen Wall of Mary?

"Mikasa? It really is you! Are you still alive?!"

Allen suddenly turned his head.
