Muscular Rabbits Legion: “No one can escape from the novice village!”

Chapter 679: Chapter 649: Jinlan Kasaya

Zhu Ganglie immediately replied, "Absolutely true!"

The other side replied at once, "Good, we’ll be there right away. It will take about three days plus one hour to get there from here."

Zhu Ganglie suddenly fell silent. Three days and one hour?

They would be resurrected after three days, but after resurrection, could they withstand Rabbit’s bombardment for one hour?

This was a problem.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Ganglie replied, "You only have three days. They have been fighting with us for half a month now, and according to the scientific investigation, they will leave in two days. You don’t have much time left!"

"Okay, then three days! We will definitely get there within three days!" Yamamoto Gojyuju immediately responded.

Zhu Ganglie showed a satisfied smile, then began to casually browse other posts, eager to understand the game as quickly as possible.

He only learned through this browsing that the changes in the Death Space had begun just yesterday.

That is to say, all these countless posts were published by players within a single day.

But when you think about it, how many lives must there be in All Heavens and myriad realms?

More than trillions?

More than tens of trillions?

After all, these lives are not just human. There are countless demons, ghosts, heavenly gods, buddhas, and people from the past and future may all be among them.

With so many players, a mere death or a few posts would equal the numbers of a vast river or quicksand, impossible to count.

The vast flow of information left all players who entered the Death Space both excited and on the verge of collapse.

They were excited because they didn’t have to face the boredom of the purely black Death Space; they could learn more about the world through death and see a broader space.

And they were overwhelmed because there was too much information, too fragmented, leaving everyone at a loss.

Through his investigation, Zhu Ganglie found out they had been tricked.

Not by Rabbit, but by the system.

Before the system integrated with the great world, they were high and mighty divine beings, even at the beginning of the integration, they could choose powerful NPCs and BOSSes.

However, after the system forcefully intervened, all of the heavenly gods were pulled down to the level of Level 8, Star 1.

But those players who entered the great world before kept their strength; some of them had already reached Level 9 or even higher.

As a result, the strong in the great world were actually lagging behind the creatures of myriad realms.

"Damn, that’s too much!"

Zhu Ganglie cursed under his breath but was powerless to do anything about it.

He tried to contact Sha Wujing, but there was no response; obviously, he had not died yet and could not receive his messages.

...

Meanwhile, at the foot of Black Wind Mountain, within Golden Toad City, a beam of golden light shone, and a man walked out slowly dressed in Evil Horse Island warrior armor, with a long sword at his waist. He adjusted the Ghost-Faced Mask on his face and sneered, "Rabbit, long time no see..."

At the same time, a dozen or so people came running over from a distance, and the leading woman said excitedly, "Mr. Yamamoto, we have fulfilled our mission; we have broken through the Guanyin Monastery!"

The leading woman was wearing a white warrior’s outfit, with a white ribbon tied on her head. As she spoke, she took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Yamamoto Gojyuju, "You guessed right, there is indeed a series of quests here.

After killing that old monk, this letter was dropped, pointing us to Black Wind Mountain to kill the Black Bear Demon."

Yamamoto Gojyuju said, "The power of the Black Bear Demon is unfathomable; it’s very likely a Level 10 or even higher existence. Let’s not consider that for now, what about the items dropped by that old monk?"

Ando Shizuka immediately took out a kasaya from her bosom, her eyes filled with excitement, "My lord, you guessed right, that old monk indeed had this legendary treasure!"

Yamamoto Gojyuju could not help but burst into ecstasy upon seeing the kasaya.

Item Name: Jinlan Kasaya

Type: Subdivine Artifact[Ritual Tool]

Level: Tenth Order Treasure

Grade: Mythical Level

All Attributes: Increase by 1 fold

Charm +10

Additional Skills:

Saint Monk: Wearing the Jinlan Kasaya confers the title of Saint Monk, granting immunity to all dark and evil attribute attacks.

In a state of near death, the Jinlan Kasaya will automatically protect its master, summoning the Jialan Protector to shield the carrier, blocking all damage below the tenth order and granting invincibility for three minutes. Meanwhile, all attributes are increased fivefold.

Every use will consume all the accumulated energy of the Jinlan Kasaya, and it can only protect again after 12 hours.

Xidie: While wearing the Jinlan Kasaya, charm is increased to full value, exerting a fatal attraction on all beings of the opposite sex below the tenth order.

Remarks:

The Jinlan Kasaya is a plot-specific divine artifact with both advantages and disadvantages. The Jinlan Kasaya was tricked away by the Jinchi Elder, and the only way for players to obtain it is to complete the Guanyin Monastery mission and kill the Jinchi Elder. At that point, players can choose to hand over the kasaya to Monk Tang for conventional rewards or keep the kasaya for themselves.

Disadvantages:

Resentment of the Black Bear: The Black Bear Demon was a close friend of the Jinchi Elder. With the friend’s death, if an enemy appears near Black Wind Mountain, it will draw the Black Bear Demon’s vengeance. Wearing the Jinlan Kasaya will spark the Black Bear Demon’s greed; its strength increases fivefold, ignoring the restrictions of Black Wind Mountain. It will freely enter any area, and after three days, it will hunt down the wearer of the kasaya. If the target is killed, the target’s level will drop by three.

The Wrath of Tang Sanzang: If the Black Bear Demon fails to retrieve the kasaya, three days later, Monk Tang will send his disciples to hunt down those who took the kasaya without returning it. The slain will enter reincarnation, their level reset to zero, with all opportunities and equipment completely wiped clean.

The Wrath of the Bodhisattva: If Monk Tang fails to reclaim the kasaya, three days later, the Bodhisattva Guanyin’s fury will be invoked, and she herself will strike down the target to retrieve the kasaya. The dead will enter reincarnation, their level reset to zero, with all opportunities and equipment completely wiped clean.

The Wrath of the Buddha: If the Bodhisattva Guanyin fails to reclaim the kasaya, three days later, the Buddha himself will strike down the target to retrieve the kasaya. The dead will enter reincarnation, their level reset to zero, with all opportunities and equipment completely wiped clean.

Restrictions: Only males can wear it.

Looking at this series of remarks, Yamamoto Gojyuju’s face turned ashen.

He had unwittingly triggered a hidden quest, The Greed of Guanyin Monastery.

As a fervent nationalist intent on invading, toppling, and taking over Daxia Country, Yamamoto Gojyuju had studied the culture, history, and geography of Daxia very deeply, if not expertly.

When he saw Tang Sanzang and his company staying at the Guanyin Monastery, he knew there must be a mission there—and that it wouldn’t be just any simple hidden quest; there had to be a follow-up.

He successfully accepted the mission to retrieve the stolen kasaya and then led his men to attack the Guanyin Monastery, but he inadvertently got killed by the dying Jinchi Elder. Fortunately, the subsequent missions went smoothly, and he was able to obtain the Jinlan Kasaya.

Only, he had never expected that though the kasaya was good, it came with so many drawbacks!

One could say that these disadvantages ensured that the Jinlan Kasaya was impossible for players to keep for themselves.

Not to mention the fearsome disciples of Monk Tang—just the Black Bear Demon alone was enough to give anyone a headache. That was a being capable of battling Sun Wukong to a stalemate and escaping at will.

If it weren’t for the Bodhisattva Guanyin’s intervention, it would have been uncertain whether Sun Wukong could subdue the Black Bear Demon or not.

Such a creature hunting one down—let alone Yamamoto Gojyuju—it’s doubtful any player under the heavens could face him.

In fact, being killed by the Black Bear Demon wouldn’t be too bad, the loss wouldn’t be too great.

But if one were to withstand the Black Bear Demon only to draw in the likes of Sun Wukong and his allies, being killed would result in a consequence akin to restarting one’s account!

Such a loss, simply too vast to bear!
