Chapter 723 Monkey’s Paw
Gudu! Gudu!
Enzo picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp. This was just an ordinary cup of beer, exactly what Enzo had in mind.
"Two more chances."
Enzo looked at the monkey's paw in his hand, with only two fingers still stretched out, and a trace of thought appeared on his face.
Then he made a second wish.
"Let me become a fifth-level holy soul wizard!"
Enzo said suicidal, but this time, the monkey's paw emitted a strange red light, and the remaining two fingers curled up again.
But Enzo's wish was not fulfilled.
"Is it beyond your capabilities?"
Enzo nodded slightly, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes. Just as he had speculated before, although this monkey's paw has the ability to help others achieve their wishes, it is not omnipotent.
To put it simply, this is the same as those magical items in the multiverse that can grant wishes.
Looking at the monkey's paw with only the last middle finger still upright, Enzo shook his head and felt a little bored.
Then he stroked his chin.
Although the Monkey's Paw's abilities are limited, what really interests Enzo is the creator behind it.
If nothing else, the owner of the monkey's paw should be a native demigod from the Scarlet World.
"In that case, let me see it."
Enzo raised the corners of his lips slightly, threw two gold coins on the table, and then left the tavern with the monkey's paw and came to the desert outside the town.
"My last wish, take me to find your creator!"
Enzo looked calm and spoke his last wish.
In an instant, the monkey's paw glowed with gray light.
Then, the last finger curled up and turned into a fist, trembling continuously as if it had gained life.
The next moment, the monkey's paw jumped to the ground.
The five fingers that had been curled up stretched out at the same time, and the monkey's paw was like a scorpion, quickly crawling towards the depths of the desert.
Whoosh whoosh!
After a while, the monkey's paw climbed a hundred meters away. A smile appeared on Enzo's face, and the luster in his eyes flickered slightly.
Then, he turned into a shadow and disappeared directly.
Following the traces left by the monkey's paw in the desert, Enzo began to move forward, crossing a large area of yellow sand. After three days, he finally came to a deep pit.
The monkey's paw jumped directly into the pit and disappeared into the dark depths.
"here it is?"
On the spot, Enzo, who turned into a shadow, appeared, looking at the desert pit ahead, a trace of thought appeared on his face. According to the record of this area in the chip, this place should be called the Eye of Yellow Sand.
It still belongs to the Tucker Kingdom, but it has been listed as a restricted area many years ago. The bottomless eye of yellow sand looks like a monster that chooses people to eat in the desert.
Historically, the Tucker Kingdom also organized an army to explore the Eye of the Desert, but everyone who entered it never came back.
Over time, this place became a restricted area.
"interesting."
Enzo stroked his chin, a hint of thinking flashed in his eyes.
Even just standing here, Enzo can feel the energy fluctuations emanating from the Eye of Yellow Sand. Apparently, there is a powerful demigod monster hidden under the Eye of Yellow Sand.
Without much hesitation, Enzo jumped directly into the Eye of Yellow Sand.
His strength has returned to the second level, but with the assistance of the chip and some magical abilities, it is absolutely easy to deal with the demigod creatures in the scarlet world.
Even if the opponent's life level reaches level four, Enzo is not afraid.
As Enzo continued to fall, the surrounding environment gradually became extremely dark.
"Chip, scan!"
Enzo ordered in his mind, and then a trace of red appeared in his eyes, and the dark surroundings suddenly became clear.
"here it is……"
Enzo felt as if he had stepped on something under his feet, so he lowered his head and looked around, and saw broken bones and debris everywhere.
He raised his head, and in front of him was a deep and dark corridor!
Even just standing here, Enzo can clearly feel the energy fluctuations emanating from the depths of the corridor. Apparently, there is an ancient demigod creature in the dark depths.
"It should be an existence from ancient times."
Enzo stroked his chin, a trace of thought appeared on his face, and his eyes flickered slightly. In the ancient times of the scarlet world, many powerful creatures were born due to the location of the world. However, due to the arrival of the alien corpses, changes occurred in this world. .
The demigods who were supposed to go through a fight to finally compete for the position of true god, lost their qualifications to compete for the position of god because of the blood chaos created by the corpse of the domain god, and were eventually expelled from this continent.
Some of them were ancient and even perished because of this!
But not all ancient existences have perished in the long river of history. Among the demigod creatures in the Scarlet World, some of the extremely powerful demigods have left this continent and gone to the overseas islands of the Scarlet World.
Others fell into silence.
For example, in the tunnel in front of him, after a short period of thinking, Enzo deduced that the existence in the depths of darkness should be the ancient demigods of the scarlet world. He was injured in the battle with the Bloodsuckers and chose to remain silent here.
"Sounds like the experience of the goddess of the night."
A trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face. In the first era of the wizarding world, what the ancient gods experienced was very similar to the scarlet world. They all had great wars due to the invasion of extraterrestrial beings.
At that time, the goddess of night Lucilece was injured by the demon lord and fell asleep in the maze of night. When she woke up again, the world had changed greatly. Even the once powerful gods had lost their control over the world. dominion.
While Enzo was thinking, a distant sound suddenly came from deep in the corridor ahead.
"Awake?"
Enzo's heart moved, and he felt the sound deep in the corridor, as if an ancient creature that had been sleeping for countless years finally woke up at this moment.
"But it makes sense."
A thoughtful expression appeared on Enzo's face. The monkey's paw he accidentally obtained should be the means left behind by the demigod creature deep in the corridor before it fell asleep.
The five fingers of the monkey's paw represent five wishes.
When all five fingers are curled up, the owner of the monkey's paw should wake up from silence.
"Come on, let me see what you are."
Enzo stroked his chin, with a hint of interest on his face. As a wizard of all spirits in his heyday, he had killed countless demigod creatures, so he didn't pay attention to the monsters deep in the corridor.
Even at this moment, Enzo's strength is less than one ten thousandth.
Deep in the dark and cold corridor, terrifying roars kept coming. Enzo's face was expressionless as he slowly walked forward.
Unmoved by the abnormalities coming from around him, Enzo walked straight into the depths of the corridor.
Boom!
In vain, a dull loud noise exploded, fine cracks began to appear in the rock tunnel, and a large number of stones fell down. Enzo frowned slightly and disappeared into a shadow.
On the same spot, Enzo looked forward.
The passage had been completely blocked by rocks, but this could not stop Enzo. He turned into a shadow again and passed directly through the barrier.
Roar!
Suddenly, a beast roar sounded, and Enzo felt the breath deep in the corridor, so he returned to his original form and looked forward.
Not far away is a huge cave.
The chains that were hammered down from the sky penetrated the body of a monster. It had a huge body, covered with gray-white hair, and had a strange luster in its scarlet eyes, as if it was choosing people to devour.
"monkey?"
Enzo raised his eyebrows and saw a strange look on his face when he saw the monster bound by chains. It turned out to be a monkey.
It's just that the size is dozens of times larger than that of ordinary monkeys.
The giant ape deep in the cave was dozens of meters tall. Enzo stood in front of it, as small as an ant. At the same time, the giant ape had a ferocious face, and its thick arms were like two stone pillars.
"How many years have it been..."
At this moment, the giant ape suddenly spoke, making a hoarse voice, and said faintly: "I finally woke up!"
While speaking, the giant ape slowly stretched out his hand.
The giant ape was bound in place by chains, restricting its movements, but when it opened its palm, a gap slowly opened.
On the ground, the gray-white monkey's paw looked like a scorpion.
It nimbly climbed into the palm of the giant ape, and then got into the crack. In an instant, the giant ape seemed to be infused with some kind of power, and its momentum became stronger in vain. The hundreds of chains that penetrated the body trembled. .
"Now, I am finally complete..."
The giant ape let out a burst of roaring laughter, which penetrated the chains on its body and was interrupted by its laughter.
After a long while, the giant ape slowly lowered his head.
A terrifying smile appeared on its ugly face, its scarlet eyes stared at Enzo below, and it laughed strangely.
"Thank you for saving me, little bug!"
"As a thank you, let you enter my belly and enjoy eternal peace!"
After saying that, the giant ape suddenly raised an arm.
The iron chain bound to his wrist broke directly, and the giant ape's terrifying giant palm suddenly struck towards Enzo.
Bang!
Following the movements of the giant ape, the entire cave trembled, and the ground slapped by the giant palm showed traces of cracks. However, a puzzled expression appeared on the giant ape's face, and the other palm scratched its head.
"Where have the little bugs gone?"
A puzzled expression appeared on the giant ape's ugly face, but at this moment, several shadow spears shot out from mid-air, piercing deeply into the giant ape's flesh and blood, causing it to feel a sense of pain.
"hiss!"
The giant ape turned his head and looked at the wound on his shoulder. An expression of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and then an angry light appeared in his eyes.
"It's you! Damn heretic!"
After feeling the damage from Enzo's Shadow Spear, the giant ape became extremely furious and let out a deafening roar.
"Go to hell, heretic!"
The giant ape roared and waved its arms, blasting towards Enzo in mid-air, but when it hit the target, it was just a shadow.
The next moment, Enzo appeared in another area.
"Heretic? A bloodthirsty person?"
A thoughtful expression appeared on Enzo's face, and he murmured, "It looks like this monster is indeed sealed here by the Blood Chaos."
In the ancient times of the Scarlet World, an alien corpse fell to the earth.
Because of the influence of the divine corpse, the originally weak human beings transformed into bloodthirsty ones and started a fierce fight with the native demigods of the scarlet world. In the end, both sides paid a heavy price.
The giant ape trapped in the cave was once an ancient demigod.
It was originally an ordinary monkey. After absorbing the power from the beginning of the world, it gained powers beyond the ordinary. After experiencing the fighting in the ancient times and devouring more life in its original place, it finally became a demigod creature.
According to the operating rules of most worlds in the multiverse.
When a world is born, the first living beings will often receive the gift of power from the world, but in the end, not all the newborns can become true gods, but need to go through a fierce competition.
Most otherworlds have a limited number of gods they can carry.
For example, in the forest world, with all the power of the entire world, only one god was born, the Tree of Eqira, and the demigod creature Okino, the disaster beast. However, in the war ghost world, two gods were born, the God of Blood Slayer. and the god of disaster.
But again, because the two indigenous gods, the God of Blood and the God of Disaster, absorbed too much power from the world, the War Ghost World was unable to give birth to a third god until Enzo passed through the Heart of the World and was promoted to A fourth-level all-spiritual wizard.
Under normal circumstances, one or two indigenous gods should have been born after the Scarlet World experienced its original location.
However, due to the arrival of the divine corpse from outside the territory, this historical process was interrupted.
The combat power of the most powerful bloodthirsty ones is almost the same as that of demigod creatures, so it is naturally impossible for both sides to live in peace.
At the same time, it is also because of the original will of the Scarlet World.
The will of the scarlet world felt the threat of the alien corpses, so it conveyed a message to all the demigod creatures that accepted the gifts of the power of the world, that is, to eradicate the influence of the alien corpses at all costs.
Under such a premise, the war is about to break out.
In the end, both the chaotic blooders and the demigods of the scarlet world suffered losses. The chaotic blooders were killed, and the demigod creatures also suffered heavy casualties. The few remaining demigods, in addition to escaping to overseas islands, also Silence fell.
For example, the giant ape in front of us.
In the ancient times of the Scarlet World, humans once called it the Evil Ape God. Although the Evil Ape God had a remarkable record in the battle with the Bloodsuckers, he was eventually sealed away by the combined efforts of several Bloodsuckers.
But in the sealed money, the evil ape god once left a trump card.
That is the monkey's paw that can make wishes. It is the incarnation of the evil ape god. Whenever a wish is completed, the monkey's paw will curse the wisher to share the power of sealing itself.
Eventually, when all five fingers are curled up, the monkey's paw will return to the body of the evil ape god, allowing it to revive from silence, which is what Enzo is facing.
However, the newly awakened Evil Ape God mistakenly thought that Enzo was also a bloodthirsty one when he saw him releasing his spell.
