From Dungeon to Gaming Empire

Qi Ji's remake of the Palace of Origin.

The scale is much larger than the original.

There are many elements and details worth studying here.

It gives adventurers a completely different sense of freshness from Ashina Castle and Senpou Temple, and every few steps they take will give them an eye-opening feeling.

Whether it is fun or exploration experience.

The sense of immersion and artistry remain at a consistently high level.

Just as the time traveler speculated, the Palace of Origin is divided into several areas from south to north, separated by red gates and rammed earth walls. The further north you go, the higher the terrain and the more magnificent the buildings.

but.

this place.

The red walls and green tiles are arranged in an orderly manner.

The courtyard is filled with deep and quiet water, and cherry blossoms are blooming like rain.

This is an elegant landscape, but it always gives people an indescribable sense of weirdness.

This weird feeling is like the exquisite paper-made people or various paper-made offerings used for sacrifices. No matter how beautiful they are, they are burned for the dead, so it is hard not to make people feel uncomfortable and weird.

The red spider lily first passes through ordinary residential areas.

All the men I met were handsome men wearing blue clothes.

These slow-moving, weak, half-human, half-fish guys, although they are served by some unalienated Ugami servants, are obviously of lower status among the Ugami.

Go inside.

Go through the Ukami Palace Gate.

Enter the more exquisite aquatic mansion.

You will meet a kind of Ugami man wearing red clothes.

This red-clothed Yujiamei looks similar to the blue-clothed Yujiamei, but it has many ulcers on its body and more tentacles, making it look more mutated. What's even more creepy is that

They feed on blue-robed gurglings.

When adventurers break into a luxurious house to collect supplies.

There were seven or eight red-clothed Yujiamei gathered here, and the bodies of blue-clothed Yujiamei were everywhere. These red-clothed Yujiamei were lying on the latter and eating them crazily.

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

This scene.

Makes the adventurer feel sick.

It felt creepy at the same time.

"These nobles feed on ordinary people? How disgusting!"

"What the hell is this Immortal Palace? It looks so exquisite and ethereal on the outside, but who could have imagined it was so corrupt and dark on the inside!"

"Not only have their bodies turned into monsters, but their souls have also been twisted into monsters. What is the meaning of such longevity and immortality?"

“This contrasting design is amazing!”

"..."

A bloody battle with the red spider lily.

Hunted down the Ugami nobles.

These reds are more difficult to deal with than the blues.

Probably because it replenished its energy by devouring its own kind.

Even without absorbing essence, they still have strong speed and attack power.

The noise of the battle here attracted the Ugami guards who were wandering around and guarding nearby. They were a new kind of enemy that had never been seen before. They were tall Ugami women wearing armor and masks.

"The Ugami clan has a clear division of labor between men and women!"

"The men are physically weak and are probably responsible for sacrificial rituals, while the women are robust and strong, primarily responsible for guarding and fighting."

"Ordinary beautiful female warriors in Yujia look like they all have a second-level, one-star look!"

"So strong!"

"Is this still a soldier?"

"Hey, have you noticed that the moves of these Uzumaki warriors are very similar to those of Baru Genichirō?"

"..."

now.

Two Ugami warriors are besieging Higanbana.

The armor they wear provides excellent protection, and their swordsmanship is also very distinctive, like graceful dance moves, which are not only enjoyable to watch but also very sharp and powerful.

The Ugami warrior has strong recovery ability.

When Higanbana slashed the opponent with several swords in a row, if it were a human opponent, they would have lost their combat effectiveness long ago, but these Ugami warriors were not affected at all and could continue dancing.

Only two female warriors.

He actually suppressed her.

The adventurers were shocked.

After all, today's Higanbana can exert the strength of the second level and three stars!

Dang Dang!

Once again, he deflected the attack of the beautiful warrior Yuga.

Higanbana realized that she could not waste time and had to fight quickly, so she attacked one of the samurai with several swords. When the opponent nimbly blocked the attack, she used her prosthetic ninja hand to pull out a small green sword and stabbed the opponent.

The wound is not deep.

The location is not fatal.

The beautiful warrior Yujia suffered great harm.

Not only did his movements become noticeably slower, but he also became rigid.

"Sure enough!"

"It's the rust pill that Yixin gave me!"

"This sword contains a deadly poison called 'Rust Poison'. It's generally ineffective against ordinary enemies, but it seems to be very effective against the Uzumaki clan!"

"..."

Higanbana poisoned the Ugami warrior with just one strike.

After the Ugami warrior was poisoned, his strength was rapidly weakened and he was soon killed by the ninja.

Kill one.

The other one is easier to deal with.

Higanbana used the same trick again and took the opportunity to use the rust ball to inflict a poisonous attack on the enemy, making it dull and stiff and greatly reducing its strength. Then, with two or three sword strikes, she easily defeated its posture and completed the ninja kill again.

The adventurers realized how useful the Kodachi Rusty Ball was!

Especially for adventurers like them who have low skills and levels.

It would be impossible to break into the Palace of Origin without the Rusty Ball, so I must get this weapon no matter what!

During the exploration of Higanbana, many Ugami warriors were killed and several different types of Ugami warriors were unlocked. Among them, those holding katana are ordinary warriors, while those holding naginata are more powerful elites.

There is a second-level, two-star warrior whose strength is not inferior to that of General Ashina.

His swordsmanship is very similar to that of the monk who broke his vows, wild and sharp, and he even has the ability to summon lightning.

Fortunately, he mastered the Thunder Counter and had Rust Pills. The former could deflect the lightning strike in time, and the latter could weaken the Yugami tribe. So after a hard battle, he finally won the victory without much suspense.

The red spider lily continues to move forward.

Stealth, assassination, and combat.

He crossed the entire Origin Palace from south to north.

Killed more than fifty Ugami men and twenty to thirty female warriors.

This is still under the circumstances where efficiency is the first priority, stealth is attempted as much as possible, unnecessary battles are avoided, and more areas are not explored. If a detailed full-scene exploration is to be carried out, the amount of battles will at least increase several times.

It can be seen that this place is not easy.

When the red spider lily passes directly through the palace complex of Genji Palace.

A low hill appeared ahead.

This is the commanding height of the Palace of Origin.

There are streams of spring water emitting a mysterious atmosphere flowing out of the mountains.

Higanbana speculated, "This should be the 'source water' of the highest purity, which is what the aquatic villagers call 'capital water'. If you drink it regularly, you will gradually transform into a long-lived Ugami tribe."

"It seems..."

"The source of everything."

"On this mountain."

"This high-purity water from the capital flows into the lake, and finally flows into the river at the foot of the mountain through the waterfall. The river then carries it to Shuisheng Village and the collapsed canyon, causing a series of changes."

"Because Shuisheng Village is too far from the source, the source water has been too diluted. Therefore, the villagers cannot transform into Uzumaki and can only transform into more degraded monsters."

"The immortal worms of Xianfeng Temple are probably also parasites bred in the source water."

"And the Transformation Water and Transformation Pond used by Ashina Genichirō are substances extracted from the Source Water."

"So this mountain is the source of all the curses and misfortunes in Ashina Country. The immortal power contained in the source water should be the same energy as the power of the Dragon's Heritage."

"We are about to face the true source!"

"..."

Higanbana was extremely excited!

Her exploration of the Palace of Origin was actually very limited. Eighty percent of the area was not searched, and she probably missed a lot of enemies worth fighting and important plot clues.

but.

It does not matter.

Higanbana positions itself as a strategy player, or a speedrunner.

She just wants to quickly reach the main storyline ending and get a unique achievement!

A powerful enemy that was missed?

I'll make up for it later.

As for studying scenes and investigating hidden plots.

Although Higanbana is very interested in Ashina's plot, investigation has never been her forte, so let the plot party, including the traveler, study it!

Just about to reach the top.

A sharp whistling sound was heard.

A black ball came at the speed of a bullet.

Higanbana swung her sword like lightning, and the wedge ball tore through the air with precise slashing, splitting the black ball in half, smashing two trees as thick as bowls behind her in half, with power no less than a small artillery piece!

"And there are Ugami warriors!"

The adventurers have learned along the way that some of the Ugami warriors not only use katana and naginata, but are also good at archery and black ball kicking. The latter two are long-range attack methods that are very tricky.

as predicted.

A Ugami woman dressed as a warrior appeared in front.

[You have unlocked the Monster Guide: Elder Ugami: "Quiet"!]

"This Ugami is extraordinary!"

"Level 3, one star? Surprisingly so strong!"
