This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1235 - 552: Reunion with Forest Spirit

[You have obtained ’Claw of Mirage Crab’ *1.]

[The loud explosion triggered by the Wind Burial Cannon is still echoing in the air, and the furious Mirage Crab swings its other claw at you as you enter a weakened state, no longer able to dodge...]

[Suddenly, you feel the ground shake violently, and the several Mirage Crabs that were attacking you stumble due to the trembling, momentarily powerless to harm you...]

[You are struck by a rolling stone sculpture and your health drops to zero...]

[As you lay dying, you faintly hear from beneath the earth a distant, low roar, as if it were the bellowing of the land itself, sending shivers through your heart and soul...]

[At the same time, surging Mirage Energy bursts from the cracks in the ground around you, instantly blurring your vision...]

[You have died, and your soul is being guided by two Soul-inducing Lamps; you may choose to reconsolidate your soul under any one of the lamps...]

Mu You watched speechlessly; just as he thought there was a chance for escape with the sudden anomaly, he still couldn’t evade the fate of death.

However, the last two hints were somewhat peculiar, seeming to suggest that his shot from the Wind Burial Cannon had awakened something.

"Could it be the Mirage Tapir?" Mu You wore a strange expression.

Thinking about it, it wasn’t impossible; the noise from his cannon shot was significant. If the Mirage Tapir’s true form had been sleeping soundly and was startled awake by the shot, it wouldn’t be surprising for it to release some of its ’just woke up’ frustration.

Mu You took a deep breath, stopped dwelling on it, and turned his attention back to the game.

The game was prompting him to choose a revival point, and naturally, Mu You chose the lamp at the exit of the Hero’s Tower. Otherwise, reviving on the spot would just mean dying again.

[Your soul has been gathered back by the Soul-inducing Lamp.]

[You revive under the Soul-inducing Lamp, and cracks appear on the Resurrection Stone in your hand...]

After reviving his character, Mu You finally had the time to check his spoils of war.

In the Spatial Bag, Mu You activated the Omniscient Crystal, looking at the gigantic crab leg that had appeared out of nowhere on the grass beside him.

[Claw of Mirage Crab: It will not be contaminated by Mirage Energy, and can be used as a weapon during the Mirage Energy season. It inflicts 0-5 times extra damage on creatures that have absorbed Mirage Energy (non-Mirage Energy species), with the damage value depending on the amount of Mirage Energy contained.

Attacks made with the claw ignore the effects of Mirage Energy Petrification.]

This is a specialized weapon, and at first glance, the effect seems quite formidable—providing up to five times bonus damage!

However, the regrettable part is that the increase in damage depends on the content of Mirage Energy inside the enemy. That is to say, if the enemy has just woken up and their Mirage Energy is at a clearing state, then this thing’s bonus damage is zero, no different from an ordinary stick.

Only when the enemy is overflowing with Mirage Energy, on the brink of forced sleep, can this weapon truly unleash its maximum potential.

So as a pure weapon, this crab leg isn’t that strong after all.

The real utility of this item lies in the latter half of its effects: attacks ignore Mirage Energy Petrification.

This means that in the future, when encountering those stone-petrified monsters on the road, one need not feel helpless and can break through their protective layer directly with this item, killing them without injury!

Having obtained such a useful item before his death, Mu You felt quite satisfied.

Just then, he received a message in the group chat.

"@Ghost Captain. How are you doing? One of my subordinates said he saw you by the Soul-inducing Lamp..." The message was from Blue Beard, with the rest of the group eagerly awaiting his latest progress.

"I died..." Mu You replied truthfully.

"Ah..."

"You can’t be serious, even you...?"

"Damn, a complete wipeout..."

...

Everyone was both surprised and regretful.

"What happened in the end?" Son of Heaven asked.

Mu You didn’t hide anything and described the subsequent events as they had happened.

"So it turns out we’ve been jumping around on the back of a Mirage Tapir?" freewebnσvel.cøm

Everyone was once again astonished by this revelation.

Later, they discussed their experiences during the latest exploration.

Mu You did not join in but left the Hero’s Tower in the game and took his character to the mausoleum in Foggy Mountain.

Meanwhile, in the real world, he left a couple of avatars in charge and flew out to Lin Xue’s estate.

He was there to see Vivian, not just to consult her about the Forest Spirit matter but also to see if he could use the Blood Coffin to help with Vivian’s resurrection.

"Resurrection?"

In the estate, the crow that contained Vivian’s soul heard Mu You’s explanation and spoke with a strange tone.

"Yes, but I’m not sure if it’ll work..."

By this time, Mu You had taken both the Blood Coffin and Vivian’s body out of the game and was setting up the coffin on site.

Vivian’s body was well-preserved. If the Blood Coffin could resurrect a body without a head, then logically, Vivian’s body should not be a problem.

His concern was whether the Blood Coffin would only work on creatures from the Real World. If that were the case, then they were out of luck.

Upon seeing the action, Vivian said nothing more. Lin Xue and Little Ya also ran over to watch, but upon seeing a pool of churning blood, they instinctively kept their distance.

Mu You lifted Vivian’s body from the ice coffin and carefully placed it into the Blood Coffin.

As the blood engulfed the body, Vivian’s remains quickly disappeared beneath the blood.

After several seconds, Vivian’s body, submerged in the blood, suddenly sat up and opened her eyes.

But it lasted for less than a second before the eyes closed again, and the body lay back down.

Everyone was startled, and Mu You hurriedly lifted the body back out.

The once emaciated body had become plump and full in just a few seconds, the complexion turning from pallor to a healthy flush, and even the rigid limbs had become supple. At a glance, she seemed no different from a living person.
