Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 223

Chapter 223 Blood-red Tears
The corridor on the second floor of the courtyard was a dead end, There’s no other way except through the entrance, At first, Xu You didn’t know what use this corridor was, but when he saw the ruby from the sacrificial sculpture and couldn’t climb up the sculpture, he suddenly guessed what use it was on the second floor. That’s right, just as Xue Wuhen had imagined, he wanted to jump down the second floor. As long as he jumped onto the sculpture, he wouldn’t be able to get the ruby.

Of course, this was just a theory.

“Youyou, do you really want to jump?” Xue Wuhen leaned against the wall of the corridor and asked.

Xu You was doing preparatory activities at the side. He was going to have a long jump later, but he couldn’t fail. If he failed, he would have to walk a long way. He would have to go through that damn concealed weapon corridor again. It was too troublesome. Therefore, it was best to succeed at once.

After hearing Xue Wuhen’s question, Xu You replied, “Of course. Why else would I come here? Don’t worry, it’s not very far. I can jump to it. When I was in college, I was ranked third in the long jump!”

“Third place? The entire school?”

“Hehe, it’s just the whole class.” Xu You was a little embarrassed, but the edge of the corridor was less than 4 meters away from the sculpture. Then he can go to shit. He can even jump more than 2 meters in the standing long jump. Besides, he is also preparing to run a sprint run-up.

Hearing Xu You’s answer, Xue Wuhen couldn’t help but laugh. It was just that Xu You seemed to want to sprint for a while before jumping. She couldn’t help but remind him, “Are you planning to run? But this railing isn’t short, are you planning to jump over the hurdles?”

“No, but this railing isn’t high either. Just step on it as a fulcrum. Come, look at me!” Xu You replied. He was ready for a gorgeous long jump.

Hearing this, Xue Wuhen retreated a little. After Xu You performed, he took a deep breath and started to run. The corridor was not wide, only 3 meters. A 3 meter run-up was enough. However, Xu You drove the “Divine Speed Halo” and his fastest speed was over 5 meters per second. He didn’t control his speed and directly hit the railing of the corridor, almost falling over.

“Pfft!” Xue Wuhen, who was watching the play, laughed. Xu You blushed and said, “Surprise, surprise!”

Then he retreated and ran again. This time, Xu You would not make any mistakes. After running for two steps, he jumped. He stepped on the railing with his right foot and kicked hard. Xu You spread his wings like a roc and flew out from the second floor.

Xue Wuhen blinked his eyes and shouted, “Youyou, it’s too much.”

Unfortunately, Xu You had already crashed and fell to the ground floor with a big word …

…

“Ahaha, I just didn’t control my strength properly just now. That kick on the railing was too forceful. That’s why I overdid it.” Xu You said awkwardly to Xue Wuhen. After he fell, it took him another fifteen minutes to return to the second floor in a big circle.

Xue Wuhen said reproachfully, “He even said that he was third in the long jump and couldn’t even control his strength. Did he fall anywhere?”

“No, don’t worry, I won’t slip up this time.” Xu You patted his chest and said. This time, he directly turned off the [Divine Speed Aura] to avoid jumping over.

“Be careful.” Xue Wuhen said.

“Yes.”

So Xu You tried again, This time, he finally didn’t slip up, He jumped right in front of the right arm of the sacrificial sculpture holding the staff, Xu You grabbed the sculpture with both hands and clenched his legs, hugging it like a bear. However, the sculpture was too smooth, and Xu You began to slide down like he had climbed up from the sculpture. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. He grabbed the sculpture’s shoulder with both hands and lifted it forcefully. After some effort, Xu You finally sat on the sculpture’s shoulder and wouldn’t fall.

“Not done this time?” Xu You smiled as he looked at the ruby on the staff in the Priest’s right hand.

“Take it easy. Grab it steadily.” Xue Wuhen said angrily when she saw Xu You’s fierce appearance.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take off the gem and jump off.” After saying that, Xu You reached out to pick the ruby. However, the staff of the sculpture was relatively long. That was why Xu You was so close to reaching the ruby. There was nothing he could do about it. Xu You could only stretch out his right hand as much as he could, hoping to catch the ruby.

However, stretching his hand out, the balance of his body was out of control. The moment Xu You grabbed the ruby, he also lost his balance. As a result, he fell off the sacrificial sculpture and fell into a big character again.

“Youyou, be careful” Xue Wuhen reminded again. After seeing Xu You fall to the ground, she also jumped down from the second floor. When she landed, she also flicked a “-78” damage. Obviously, Xue Wuhen, who did not learn the passive skill of “Safe Landing”, could not jump down too high.

As for Xu You, who learned to land safely, he fell casually, but he groaned, “Aiyo, it hurts me to death.” Although it didn’t drop any blood, the way it fell was still very painful.

“Youyou, are you alright?” Xue Wuhen nervously turned Xu You over and found that this fellow had a smile on his face. He couldn’t help but ask strangely, “You can still laugh when you cry out for love?”

“Look!” Xu You placed his right hand in front of Xue Wuhen and waved it. Xue Wuhen looked at the item in Xu You’s hand and smiled helplessly. It turned out that Xu You had taken off the ruby.

The pain only lasted for a while and soon disappeared. Xu You lay down for a while and sat up. He also let Xue Wuhen sit beside him. Then, the two of them carefully looked at the ruby information in their hands.

Blood Tear (Special): The gemstone on the Great Priest Farr’s Blood Red Staff. The exact purpose is unknown, but it has protective effects on the body. Effect: Reduces the player’s magic damage by 30%. No equipment is required. It can take effect when placed in the backpack.

“What is this thing? Is it that powerful?” Xu You couldn’t help but smack his tongue after reading the ruby information.

“Magic damage reduced by 30%. This effect is amazing.” Xue Wuhen was an output of the magic system, I know what this effect means, One had to know that magic damage was related to resistance. This gem didn’t have any resistance, so it could directly reduce magic damage. This was very cost-effective. One had to know that with the increase of resistance, the reduced magic damage would also decrease. For example, 50 resistance could reduce damage by up to 90% for Level 1 players, but it could only decrease damage by 5% for Level 60 players.

Therefore, directly reducing magic damage was extremely satisfying. More importantly, this gem could actually work in a backpack. There was no need to waste the equipment bar. This blood-red tear was really a good thing!

“Fortunately, I didn’t let go of this ruby. Otherwise, I would have suffered a huge loss. Wuhen, here you are.” Xu You handed the ruby to Xue Wuhen.

“Give it to me? Don’t you need it?” Xue Wuhen was stunned.

“I have a resistance halo. I’m not afraid of magic. Your PK is amazing. This gem is useful to you.” Xu You said.

However, Xue Wuhen shook his head and said, “You can still use it. My hidden profession already has magic damage reduction bonuses. Furthermore, all of us can use it the same. Leave it to you.”

When Xu You heard this, he no longer forced it. This thing did not have binding attributes, so he casually traded it. In the future, when Xue Wuhen wanted to use it, he could just give it to her.

“I got the ruby, but I couldn’t find the ring. What should I do?” Xu You fell into trouble again.

“Turn on that switch?” Xue Wuhen was still thinking about the magic switch.

Hearing this, Xu You was silent for a while before he said, “I feel that the switch is hiding a big secret. I have a feeling that once it is turned on, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, our mission should have nothing to do with the magic switch.”

“But we’re done looking for the Ferrah Temple. If we don’t turn on the switch, where will the ring be?” It wasn’t that Xue Wuhen didn’t believe Xu You, but there were no clues.

“…” Xu You didn’t know that finding something wasn’t his forte.

At this time, there was another “gua” sound. The toad that was originally in the dining hall came again. But this time, it seemed to have been hiding for a long time. It suddenly appeared behind Xu You and Xue Wuhen. It was only two to three meters away from them. Xue Wuhen turned around and looked like a cat that had its tail stepped on. He was shocked.

Generally speaking, when a woman encounters a nasty little thing, such as a mouse, cockroach, spider, and so on, she would scream and run away. She would even throw things away, wanting to drive these nasty things away. Xue Wuhen had chosen to dodge before, but this time, she chose to throw things away. However, there was nothing in the surroundings that she could throw away.

Yes, the ruby that Xu You had been confiscating was decisively used as a grenade by Xue Wuhen. Thus, by the time Xu You reacted, the ruby was already on its way to the toad.

“Wuhen, don’t …” Xu You hurriedly shouted, but it was already too late.

Just as Xu You thought that the ruby was going to shatter on the ground, the toad’s body suddenly doubled in size. Then, it opened its mouth wide and swallowed the ruby with a grunt. Then, it shrunk back.

“Gong!” The toad seemed to be full. Then, it turned around and jumped towards the entrance of the main hall, leaving behind only Xu You, who had a dull expression, and Xue Wuhen, who had a frightened expression.

Ten seconds later, Xu You cried out sadly, “Damn toad! Give me back my gem!”
