The success rate of merging Nanming Lihuo with the Frost Sword unexpectedly became 100%!
Although the success rate of synthesizing Frost with Nanming Lihuo had changed, Bai Ye's success rates for the famous sword Bloodthirsty and the Shadow Battle Axe remained at 5% and 1% respectively after switching back.
This indicated that the success rate was not random but fixed, or rather, it depended on the weapons being synthesized.
Bai Ye pondered and attempted to synthesize the Frost Sword with the famous sword Bloodthirsty and the Shadow Battle Axe.
The result was a 10% success rate for the former and still a 1% success rate for the latter.
However, Bai Ye was pleasantly surprised that the synthesis of the famous sword Bloodthirsty and the Shadow Battle Axe had a success rate of 30%.
After several consecutive attempts, Bai Ye finally understood some patterns.
First, synthesizing weapons of the same type would provide a success rate bonus, such as flying swords with flying swords, and axes with axes.
Even if not exactly the same, weapons with similar characteristics or properties would receive a bonus, though less significant, such as flying swords with swords.
Second, synthesizing items of the same attribute would also yield a bonus, such as fire attribute with fire attribute, or water attribute with water attribute. As a secondary option, items of the same immortal spiritual energy would also have a bonus, but spiritual energy and magic did not mix well.
Third, the outcome of each synthesis was not fixed. The combination of Nanming Lihuo and the Frost Sword did not necessarily always result in the Frost effect. However, once synthesized successfully, the success rate became 100%, and the outcome would always be the Frost effect.
As a result, most attempts failed, with only one more success: Nanming Lihuo and the Flying Flame Sword, with a 65% success rate, successfully synthesized Nanming Lihuo (Flame), increasing the number of weapons in the Gate of Babylon to nine.
The most regrettable was the Frost Sword and the Flying Flame Sword. Despite the clash of ice and fire, they were both flying swords of the same quality, and the 50% success rate still resulted in failure.
Bai Ye could only sigh, "I hate these probability games the most."
However, regardless of the outcome, Bai Ye had discovered a new way to exploit the game.
That was to draw weapons using the gacha machine and then synthesize them with each other, thus having a chance to obtain several weapons each day to fill the Gate of Babylon.
Bai Ye did not yet know how many weapons would be needed to upgrade the quality of the Gate of Babylon, but at least upgrading from white to green by collecting fifteen weapons was not a difficult task.
As Bai Ye thought, he reached out and wiped away the light screen in front of him, then looked around.
The Holy Grail War had ended, and Bai Ye was thrown back into the Honor Valley.
Mulan and the others were certainly not foolish enough to wait indefinitely, and there was no one around.
What could Bai Ye do?
He had no choice but to make his way.
Although the matter of the Great Wall was settled, Bai Ye still planned to visit again and did not mind staying longer if necessary.
After all, the Great Wall had great potential for excavation, and the forbidden areas there had not yet been opened.
Secondly, both Kai and Li Xin were heroes confirmed to possess golden-tier possession abilities. Moreover, while Bai Ye was not interested in the hero tombs on the first level, he could try to explore if he could obtain a quest to upgrade his entry qualification for the hero tombs.
It was just a bit of a waste of the Nanming Lihuo Sword.
This was a divine weapon no less than the Xuanyuan Sword. If he could find a forbidden area, Bai Ye could declare the game over and send everyone home.
As it was, Bai Ye could only spend his time traveling, as it would take several days to return to the Great Wall from the Honor Valley, and the gacha machine would surely have reset.
He proceeded on his way.
And then...
Bai Ye realized he was lost!
The Honor Valley was more complex than Bai Ye had imagined, and there was more than one entrance and exit. Bai Ye wandered in the Honor Valley for two hours, and after finally exiting,
Bai Ye found himself facing a region boundary!
Without even looking, he knew he had taken the wrong path. The Great Wall was not in this direction at all. Bai Ye did not remember passing through a region boundary when he first came.
But since he had come this far...
Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, then simply stepped across the region boundary.
After all, the Great Wall was not urgent. Judging by the fact that the forbidden area had not been opened, the forbidden area of the Great Wall could not be opened at the current time. Finding a hidden quest was already good enough.
Moreover, as long as it was related to the hero regions, Bai Ye felt he had hope of upgrading his entry qualification for the hero tombs.
In his previous life, Bai Ye had entered the third level of the hero tombs, and his qualification was not obtained at the Great Wall.
As Bai Ye thought, he crossed the region boundary.
Soon...
A mountain forest appeared before Bai Ye.
It felt very strange!
The entire mountain forest did not have a lush green appearance, but rather...
Deep, sinister, and eerie!
Occasionally, the wind blew, shaking the branches, and the leaves made "rustling" sounds.
Bai Ye surveyed his surroundings and remarked, "This is a supernatural area, isn't it?"
It had a very sinister feel, as if the mountain forest ahead was the gaping maw of an evil spirit, waiting for its prey.
Just then...
"As a participant has discovered and entered the forbidden area, Mount Natagumo, all participants currently in the Supernatural Evil Spirit Area will be transported to different locations within Mount Natagumo in three minutes."
"Forbidden Area Mission 1: Defeat a member of the Spider Demon family in Mount Natagumo (this kill can be transferred between chosen ones). Mission Reward: Random ability of the defeated spider demon x1."
"Forbidden Area Mission 2: Rescue a member of the Demon Slayer Corps (this rescue can be transferred between chosen ones). Mission Reward: Nichirin Blade and a random basic breathing style x1."
"Forbidden Area Mission 3: Defeat the controller of the Spider Demon family, the Lower Rank Five of the Twelve Demon Moons. Mission Reward: Demon Blood x1, Random Blood Demon Art (Spider Demon) x1, Shard of God Stone x15."
"Gentlemen, to obtain the Shards of God Stone, please fight diligently."
...
Bai Ye tilted his head, "What's going on?"
The sudden opening of the forbidden area made Bai Ye pause for a moment, then he couldn't help but laugh.
In the past, he was always the one opening forbidden areas. Now, he was finally experiencing the treatment of someone else opening a forbidden area and being forcibly pulled into it?
Besides that...
"It's Mount Natagumo. So, it's possible to enter here without going through the magic area!"
Bai Ye finally knew the area he was in.
It was indeed a supernatural area, or more accurately, this area was also called the Evil Spirit Area.
It was an area filled with various evil spirits and the Demon Slayers who fought against them.
And Mount Natagumo was the area where the Lower Rank Five of the Twelve Demon Moons, subordinates of the Demon King, resided.
At the same time, Bai Ye had also been to the Mount Natagumo forbidden area in his previous life.
However, in his previous life, Bai Ye was a failure in the Mount Natagumo forbidden area.
At that time, Bai Ye was still very weak, and he was not here by his own will. He was forcibly pulled into the forbidden area, and not only did he fail to complete any of the forbidden area missions, but he was also almost killed by other chosen ones.
