Chapter 138

He jumped lightly on the spot and felt that his maximum explosive speed had nearly doubled!

If he could Max out the remaining 4 layers of the bounty hunter effect, he would be invincible among the awakened.

He could attack and defend, even ordinary iron-level rankers would not be able to do anything to him!

Imagine having the defense and HP of a meat shield, far faster than an assassin, and powerful magic damage …

How were the others supposed to play?

Shaking his head, Li Rui threw the distracting thoughts out of his head and clicked on the three teammates.

Xiao Wei rose two levels in a row, Luo Li rose two levels in a row, and Huang juncai was the most terrifying, directly rising to level eight!

It was a pity that he did not have a complete hero inheritance for the time being, so these upgrade options could not turn into actual combat power!

However, in addition to Xiao Wei and Luo Li’s two bronze treasure chests, Huang juncai’s s-rated gold treasure chest had been obtained. The next time he activated sacrifice, he would probably get the hero he wanted.

However, all of these were of no help to his current predicament. Looking at the 763 gold coins on the interface, Li Rui was in a dilemma as to whether he should buy it as equipment!

After thinking for a long time, Li Rui suppressed the desire in his heart.

He didn’t know what this sealed artifact was. He would keep these gold coins and wait for information on it to be confirmed before he could see if he could make a targeted item.

The most important thing now was to survive!

He didn’t forget that the official information had specifically stated that opening the [ puzzle of fear ] would lead to terrible things happening.

So … I should increase my defense first!

system, upgrade your ability rune!

A green light of determination lit up in front of Li Rui, and he did not hesitate to point at the pressure-resistant divine skill.

[ bone plating ] (Level 2)

(Active) the next four skills or attacks from the enemy will deal 40 points of damage to you.

Lasts for 10 seconds.

[cooldown time: determined by the host’s state and the time taken to recover.]

The effect of Level 2 [bone plating] made Li Rui’s eyes light up. Not only did the number of times he was hit increase by one, but the damage reduction also increased by 20 points, and the duration also increased by 5 seconds.

Within 10 seconds, no matter what, the battle should be completed!

And the effect of 40 damage reduction in actual combat might be even more terrifying!

If the damage of an attack was around 100 points, Li Rui’s [ eternal indestructible tribulation ] and double resistance would be immune to a small part of it.

The actual damage was only about 60 points. Minus 40 points, there were only 20 points left!

More importantly, there were still four times of such damage reduction!

If used well, it could completely determine the outcome of a battle!

After adding Level 1 [ bone plating ], Li Rui’s sense of security increased greatly.

At that moment, his smart terminal vibrated again.

“Hello, Luo Li?”

Captain, I’ve found the information on the [ fear puzzle ]. It says that it will lock on to the first person who opens it. No matter how far it is thrown, it will quietly appear beside that person. Only by completing the puzzle in the box can we escape from it!

Li Rui’s eyes lit up.

“Send me the detailed information.”

Sensing the anxiety in Li Rui’s tone, Luo Li suddenly understood.

“Captain! You’ve been entangled by it?”

“Yes, it’s right in front of me.”

“I’ll send you the information immediately. Wait for me, I’ll be right there!”

Before Li Rui could speak, a toot sound came from the phone.

Li Rui blinked his eyes and a trace of warmth rose in his heart.

Soon, he received a detailed information on his phone. Li Rui looked at the iron box alertly, opened the information, and read it carefully.

The first time the [ puzzle of fear ] was discovered was at the end of the Middle Ages.

Its appearance was no different from what it was now. Inside it were 10000 pieces of puzzles made of unknown materials, each piece about 2 square centimeters in size, and the completed puzzle would be rectangular.

The order and design of each piece of the puzzle would change when it was used.

The [ fear puzzle ] will automatically adjust to the first person to open the box. When the box is opened, the picture of the puzzle will change, and the completed picture will show the thing that the person who opened the box is most afraid of. Until the next box is opened, the picture on the puzzle will not change.

In the long records, there were more than a hundred people who had opened the box, and almost all of them were extraordinaries. However, only a few of them survived.

They had all completed the puzzle and left behind detailed images!

Clicking on the photos, all kinds of unpleasant images came into view.

A swollen corpse was submerged in the water. Its pale body was rotting, and its resentful eyes were bulging like copper bells. It was staring at the person who was looking at it.

There was an iron Virgin whose spikes were covered in blood. Upon closer inspection, there were eyeballs and organs hanging from the spikes.

Hundreds of maggots were crawling out of his mouth, eyes, nose, and ears.

A dismembered hand stretched out from the dark window.

A person completely covered by maggots, centipedes, small snakes, and many other mollusks.

It was a cross-section of a coffin buried in the ground, in which a desperate woman was scratching the lid of the coffin.

Li Rui frowned as he closed the photos.

What was the meaning of this?

How did the people who completed the puzzles survive?

If I ignore it, what will the consequences be?

Looking at the iron box on the table, Li Rui’s finger gently touched his eyebrows and he fell into deep thought.

thump, thump, thump ~”

A fierce knocking sound came from the outside. Li Rui then realized that there was a faint layer of golden light outside the window!

It was dawn!

Luo Li opened the door and rushed into the house. She grabbed his hand and looked up and down.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

“That’s good. Where’s the thing? Where is he?”

Li Rui knew what she was asking and pointed to his bedroom.

“On my desk.”

He brought Luo Li to the bedroom. The two looked at the inconspicuous iron box on the table and looked at each other.

“How about? Open it and take a look?”

After knowing the details of the [fear puzzle ], Li Rui’s fear of this unknown sealed artifact was reduced a lot.

Since someone had survived before, it meant that there was a way to break it!

As long as he could drag it out until the system completely cracked it, Li Rui didn’t need to be afraid of it at all!

He carefully opened the box and saw pieces of a small puzzle stacked on top of each other.

He picked one up and looked at it carefully. Li Rui found that it was dark and he could not see anything.

That’s right, there were 10000 pieces of this thing, and it was impossible to see the whole picture from a single small piece.

A small white hand secretly reached for the box, but Li Rui didn’t look at it and chopped it with a hand knife.

Pa!

“Ah!”

Luo Li covered her claws and gritted her teeth, looking at Li Rui aggrievedly.

“I’m just looking …”

you’re not allowed to look and you’re not allowed to come into contact with this thing. I’m enough!

Grabbing the iron box, Li Rui cleared out some space in the living room and poured all the puzzles in the box onto the ground.

“I’d like to see what I’m most afraid of.”
