Chapter 376 - 276: Fire Injection Ceremony, Not a Formidable Enemy

Chapter 376: Chapter 276: Fire Injection Ceremony, Not a Formidable EnemyWhen the name [Three-person Corpse Warlock] appeared in the air as a bright red magic rune, Tami admitted he started to panic.

Falling off a cliff and encountering an elite monster, even if I give it my all, I’m afraid it’s impossible to win.

Wait, isn’t it a bit too much for me to face an elite monster alone?

Looking at the Three-person Corpse Warlock already floating in the air, seemingly preparing a big move, Tami was momentarily panic-stricken,

Tami collapsed onto the ground, covered in soot, looking exhausted and unable to carry on, severely burned all over.

The Three-person Corpse Warlock’s strength truly was weak, but still too much for him alone; without the shield, he would’ve been killed by this Five Fireball Divine Sect worshipper.

It’s a pity he doesn’t play Tachi, if a Tachi Hero were here, they could detect like wind unscathed (strike-through)

But a win is a win, right now he only wanted to tell his initially certain self about the Three-person Corpse Warlock being a formidable enemy:

Not a formidable enemy, not undefeatable!

"If Ais-senpai were here, it would’ve been great; my Healing Potion is all used up."

His life flickered like a candle in the wind, with his condition only deteriorating but wouldn’t die immediately.

At this moment, the reward for defeating the Three-person Corpse Warlock finally appeared.

But this time it didn’t appear as light points, but a flame stream directly rushing into Tami’s body!

At the same time, a message appeared in his mind.

[Fire Injection Secret Ceremony]

[Choose a bonfire, conduct a fire injection ceremony with humanity, and awaken the hidden power in the flames]

"What is this?" Tami’s voice was hoarse like an old bellows.

Along with the fire injection secret ceremony, a humanity appeared. This item was currently thought to only be useful in Endless Reincarnation, but unexpectedly, it could also be used for fire injection right now.

Tami had no time to care about what the so-called fire injection and hidden power were. He just wanted to find a safe place to rest well, preferably finding some Healing Potion, and if there were jars nearby that he could smash open, that would be great.

He had never longed for a bonfire as much as he did now.

After defeating the three Corpse Warlocks, the tightly closed door of the secret room opened, and he mechanically took steps toward the outside. Staying still would only result in being burned to death, but if he moved forward, he might find a chance to survive.

He was an adventurer, and the adventurer’s vocation did not allow him to stop exploring. Even if he died, he could return to the bonfire to rest well, but that would mean resetting his progress, which was worse than continuing to move forward.

The burns left his consciousness muddled; he couldn’t remember how he advanced. It seemed he encountered Monsters on the way, or maybe not. He kept moving in a daze until he...

discovered a second official bonfire.

It wasn’t the hidden bonfire that Luluwo and the others had found, but a clearly visible one set right in the path for everyone to see.

At that moment, Tami’s happiness became tangible.

His body suddenly regained strength, and he ran towards the bonfire in leaps, throwing the faint magic-fueled flame he held into it as he fell.

"Boom!"

The flames shot up, and under the glow, his lost stamina rapidly replenished, and his injuries began to heal.

"Ah... the fire is really so warm..."

He sighed in contentment, then suddenly remembered the fire injection secret ceremony and threw the humanity he had into the flames.

In an instant, the bonfire burned more fiercely, and Tami jumped up, amazed to find:

"All my injuries have healed, and... I’ve never felt so invigorated, as if I’ve rested for a long time in one go."

At that moment, more relevant knowledge appeared in his mind.

The fire injection secret ceremony, a technology developed for bonfires. In games, it can increase the number of Elemental Bottles obtained after resting at a bonfire.

In this world, it instead grants instant recovery of injuries and spiritual power, greatly enhancing the spiritual power strength of the sitting fire user, and slightly increasing all attributes!

But the person who acquires the fire injection secret ceremony can only use it for one bonfire. Other bonfires remain as the normal version. For the adventurer who performed the fire injection, the treated bonfire becomes a special version, only allowing them to inject humanity, and after leaving and reentering the dungeon, the effects of the fire injection on the bonfire do not disappear.

In the dungeon, this enhancement state for the adventurer lasts until death. Upon revival, the enhancement state is lost unless humanity is re-injected into the fire-injected bonfire.

In the outside world, the duration of this enhancement state depends on the individual’s talent, lasting up to seven days. After it disappears, humanity is needed again to obtain the same effect.

Repeated injection of humanity also provides a permanent slight enhancement to the adventurer’s spiritual power.

The humanity obtained in Endless Reincarnation cannot be taken out, so to inject fire, one can only try their luck in the Casas Underground Tomb.

Defeating any Monster has a very small chance of dropping humanity, with a probability lower than a tenfold draw of two golds. However, killing Elite Monsters guarantees one humanity. Besides that, treasures like chests and jars may also contain humanity.

At first glance, it seems like a benefit for adventurers, akin to Greg’s big Lune.

But the complete restoration of spiritual power and the enhancement of spiritual power strength feel like... a means to better and more continuously exploit them!

Still, adventurers will earn, but Sain won’t lose either.

That’s why the three Corpse Warlocks were so average in strength, capable of blocking weak adventurers while allowing the fire injection secret ceremony to be popularized among those of moderate strength.

"What’s this?"

Tami suddenly noticed a bottle at his waist and picked it up for a look.

[Elemental Bottle]

[A secret treasure of the Undead Man, their most cherished treasure, capable of restoring energy and healing mental fatigue]

[Can be refilled at bonfire]

"Uh, Healing Potion?"

He tried drinking a sip and his eyes instantly widened.

A super-high purity Healing Potion! One sip made him feel incredibly energetic, as if all his fatigue had flown away!

He had a sense that as long as he had Elemental Bottles, he could keep replenishing the spiritual damage from death and continue exploring the dungeon indefinitely!

Just one sip significantly restored his stamina and spiritual power. In this way, he could drink from this bottle twenty times!

"This is simply a huge benefit, I absolutely love it."

Tami couldn’t wait to go back and report this good news to the captain, believing these updates would surely win over the Light Eagle Group.

"But how do I get out of here?"

He looked at the path in front of him, seemingly without any other choice.

"If I keep going, won’t I bump into the boss?"

Though somewhat worried, he still decided to continue—

"Ah!"

A scream suddenly came from deep within the dark, gloomy path.
