From Dungeon to Gaming Empire

A huge palace complex appeared before them.

These palace buildings are mostly made up of vermilion pillars and green tile roofs. The structure is mostly based on a suspended stage, with long pillars and horizontal beams fixing the ground to raise the lower plate, and then palaces, buildings, towers, etc. are built on it.

Flowers, palace, water.

The three elements are closely integrated.

It gives people a sense of being in a fairyland beyond the world.

"I saw a lot of beautiful sights in Ashina!"

"But this fairy palace is still amazing!"

"But time is running out. Now is not the time to enjoy the scenery. The most urgent task is to quickly find the God of Source!"

Higanbana frowned and said, "The problem now is that this Immortal Palace is quite large, and I don't know what the Source God looks like. How can I find my target in this situation?"

At this time, the time traveler provides an idea.

He said, "Look carefully at the layout of the palace. I think even the Celestial Palace has a hierarchy. The buildings further south are of lower standard, while the buildings further north, on higher ground, are of higher standard."

Higanbana: "You mean..."

The Time Traveler said: "The God of Source is the supreme being and the source of everything. He is most likely at the northernmost high ground."

Makes sense!

Act now!

Rappelling via hook rope.

Head towards the Source Palace.

Before she could fully enter, she was blocked by a group of dogs.

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Ugami Hound!]

"Just a few dogs."

"You want to stop me too?"

Higanbana sneered and was about to take action when something happened that none of the adventurers had expected. Two of the dogs suddenly jumped high and barked wildly.

next moment.

Thunder exploded.

Golden thunder condensed in his mouth.

Finally, it turned into a ball of lightning and attacked.

Higanbana was caught off guard and barely dodged one attack, but was hit by the second attack. She was instantly paralyzed and severely injured. She was then knocked down by two giant dogs and hunted down on the spot.

"what's the situation?"

"Do all the dogs in the Palace of Origin set off bombs?"

"Golden lightning...isn't this the Thunder of Ba?"

"Ashina Genichirō's proud special move can even be used by a dog in Genji Palace. Doesn't that indirectly mean that Shikaichirō is just as good as a dog?"

"..."

Jokes are jokes.

Even powerful enemies like the monk who broke his vows were defeated.

As a result, he was killed by several dogs after walking a few steps... It's outrageous!

This also shows that the Palace of Origin is very dangerous. Although the monk who broke the precepts was defeated, one cannot be careless at all. So after resurrection, Higanbana learned from the lesson and directly killed several dogs that blocked the road with ninja darts from a long distance.

"Humph, even though it can set off bombs, a dog is still a dog after all!"

After successful revenge.

Officially explore the Palace of Origin.

Soon we met the local residents.

"Is that human being?"

Four people in blue were walking in a water corridor.

Their skin was smooth and pale, with six arms and a large tail. In addition, there were tentacles growing on their faces. They looked more like some kind of aquatic monster than human.

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Male Ugami!]

"They look so familiar."

"Exactly the same as the Kirigakure nobleman in the hidden forest of Shuisheng Village."

"According to the Monster Manual, this monster is only level one, three stars, and doesn't seem very powerful."

"..."

When Higanbana learned that the male residents of the Ugami tribe were not very strong despite their strange appearance, she no longer took them seriously and observed them for a few more times.

"According to the records."

"The Ugami are the inhabitants of the Fairy Palace."

"These residents were once human, but due to long-term service to the God of Origin and drinking highly concentrated Origin Water, their bodies have undergone fundamental mutations, resulting in their current appearance, neither human nor ghost..."

"But the Ugami are immortal, with infinite lifespans, and will never die of old age!"

"Haha, if I were to become like this, I might as well die early!"

"..."

Higanbana observed that the Yugami people moved very slowly. Although they were immortal, they gave people a lifeless feeling, like old men who were over a hundred years old.

"I suspect that although the Ugami possess the ability to live forever, immortality doesn't mean they won't age. Their bodies have long since aged to the point of extreme age, and their intelligence has almost reached zero..."

that's the truth.

There are fully transformed Ugami people in the Palace of the Source.

There are also a large number of Yugami people who serve the Yugami tribe.

The former are monsters that have been completely transformed. Although they have eternal life, their bodies are extremely old, their movements are slow, and they have no intelligence. They are the followers of the God of Origin.

Although the latter also underwent some physical mutations due to the use of the source water, he was not completely alienated, so he did not have eternal life and had no major problems with his intelligence. However, he was a menial servant at the lowest level of the Asgard.

The previous generation of Long Yin's attendant, Ba, was most likely a Yuga beauty.

After understanding these.

The adventurers once again felt the darkness and cruelty of the Ashina world.

"In this world, longevity and immortality are not gifts but curses. Lord Qi is clearly satirizing those obsessed with immortality through this story."

"Time is running out!"

"Boss Higanbana, hurry up and act!"

"..."

Higanbana stops observing and attacks.

I just feel that they are inferior to the first-level, one-star zombies.

These Yugami people are not only slow in movement and as weak as rotten wood, but also have almost no attack power.

One knife at a time.

Effortless!

"Too weak!"

"Is this considered an enemy?"

After easily killing three people in a row, Higanbana couldn't help but have such thoughts.

However, at this moment, a Ugami man who was farthest away had already reacted. He was not terrified by the killing of his companions. When he realized that there were foreign intruders in front of him, he immediately changed from his numb and dazed state to excitement and ecstasy.

Then he locked onto the adventurer and inhaled frantically.

Before Higanbana could figure out what was happening, she suddenly felt the breath of life being rapidly drained from her body, causing her hair to quickly turn pale, wrinkles to appear on her face, and her body to become weak.

I suddenly looked dozens of years older!

I feel like my body is completely hollowed out!

Higanbana then realized what the other party had done: "Damn, these guys, they can suck people's energy and lifespan!"

At this moment, because Higanbana was caught off guard, her energy and lifespan were drained away. Not only did she look decades older, but her legs and feet also became completely powerless. She could only use the wedge ball as a crutch to barely stay supported.

Three shakes in one step.

Very funny.

Let’s look at the culprit.

This Yugami male became full of energy, his sluggish movements suddenly became ten times more agile, he pounced like a bloodthirsty beast, his overall strength directly reached the first level five stars.

The red spider lily tried to resist.

But the knife was soft and limp when it hit my body.

It was just a minor scrape on this guy.

dead!

Fall down again.

The adventurers were dumbfounded.

They had just entered the outskirts of the Fairy Palace, and first encountered a dog that could make thunder, and then encountered ordinary residents of the Yujiamei tribe who could suck people's essence and make people age instantly. This shows how weird this Palace of Origin is!

"It's careless!"

The red spider lily was also very annoyed.

She said, "These Yujiami residents themselves aren't very strong. Under normal circumstances, they're no stronger than ordinary zombies. But once they absorb essence, they'll instantly become stronger, at least comparable to the strength of a first-level four or five-star zombie!"

A first-level four or five-star enemy is not considered a strong enemy.

But the adventurer will be extremely weak in the process!

The more essence is absorbed, the more the strength declines. If it is completely sucked away, the person will turn into a centenarian old man on the spot and completely lose his combat effectiveness!

“It’s so weird!”

"I didn't expect that ordinary Ugami residents have such means!"

"I think this ability is very interesting. If the spirit of the Yugami tribe can be released, I think this spirit may have unexpected uses."

"..."

The Palace of Origin is very strange.

But it arouses the curiosity of adventurers even more.

The red spider lily quickly rallied and entered again.

But this time.

I don't plan to waste any more time observing.

She planned to avoid most of the enemies and head straight to the northernmost part in one breath to find the location of the God of Source and complete the mission first!

(PS: Make up for last night.)

Chapter 136 The End

The red spider lily suffered several losses in a row.

So I learned the lesson well.

If there is a pack of dogs, kill them immediately with long-range darts.

If you encounter groups of Yujiami men, avoid them if possible.

If you really can't avoid them, kill them as quickly as possible to prevent these guys from taking away your energy from a distance.

She discovered that after encountering the Yugami tribe, although it was easy for them to suck out her energy and become weak, as long as she was not completely drained of her energy and lost the power to fight back, she could kill the corresponding Yugami to regain their energy and restore her body to normal.
