The next moment.
The familiar screen reappeared before his eyes.
But before Jiang Li could shout to start the dungeon, a line of text appeared on the screen.
【Ding!】
【Since the host has successfully completed the novice dungeon!】
【Therefore, after the end of the second dungeon, a new function will be unlocked!】
“New function?”
Jiang Li’s eyes lit up slightly. He didn’t expect that the system actually had new functions that hadn’t been unlocked.
This made him even more excited for the end of this dungeon.
Then.
The text in front of him changed.
【Ding!】
【Before entering the dungeon, please draw your temporary talent first.】
【Note: Temporary talent only takes effect in the current dungeon.】
“Here it comes.”
Looking at the familiar text.
Jiang Li couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.
Entering the dungeon means you can't bring any transformation devices or your true power in.
So.
Talent determines whether he can survive the dungeon, become stronger, or even dominate!
Of course.
Besides talent.
The randomly assigned identity is also very important.
Like in "The First King", the identity of the Bloodfang he obtained was very lucky. Not only did he possess superhuman strength, but he could also get in touch with the Knight Belt at the first moment.
Jiang Li thought about it now.
This "The First King" could be considered a perfect start.
“Hope I can get a good identity this time…” Jiang Li prayed silently.
“Draw!”
After calming himself down.
Facing the talent draw.
Jiang Li did not hesitate to confirm!
Immediately, it felt as if a meteor shower was falling in front of him, with meteors of various colors blooming with dazzling brilliance.
Under his tense gaze.
From these countless meteors, three streams of light split off and landed in front of him.
At a glance.
Jiang Li couldn’t help but show a look of joy.
Because among the talents drawn this time, there was actually a dazzling golden one!
The other two talents were blue.
And with the experience of the golden talent "Unlimited Life Energy" last time.
Jiang Li had a deep understanding of the power of golden talents and was naturally filled with endless anticipation!
He calmed his emotions a little, and looked back at the three talents in front of him.
The specific talent names were revealed.
【Golden Talent: Devour!】
【Blue Talent: Agile!】
【Blue Talent: Refreshing Spirit!】
To be honest, with the golden talent first, Jiang Li didn’t even want to guess what the effects of the two blue talents were. But just to be safe, he took another look.
“Agile and Refreshing Spirit…”
“It seems like one is about agility and speed, and the other is about spirit.”
Jiang Li guessed silently.
But neither agility nor spirit held much appeal to him.
So he quickly dismissed the blue talents and looked towards the golden one with anticipation.
“Golden talent… Devour!”
“If it’s a Devour talent, could it be…”
Jiang Li couldn’t help but think of many novels he had read in his previous life. There were often abilities like this, and usually, the effects of these abilities were extremely powerful!
Therefore.
Jiang Li didn’t hesitate, and directly confirmed.
【Ding!】
【Congratulations, you have successfully obtained the temporary talent: Devour!】
“Check effect!”
Jiang Li took a deep breath and made his selection. The relevant description immediately appeared in front of him.
【Temporary Talent: Devour!】
【Talent Description: Kill the target, devour its ability!】
The effect description of the Devour talent was only eight words long.
But it made Jiang Li extremely excited!
It was pretty much what he had guessed.
This so-called "Devour" talent could actually devour the abilities of other creatures!
“I’m set for half of it!”
Jiang Li excitedly clenched his fist.
Such an overpowered talent, no matter what dungeon it was put in, it would definitely be able to dominate!
No matter which knight dungeon it was, there were always powerful and uniquely capable monsters… And when the time came, it would be a great opportunity for the "Devour" talent to show its might!
“System, enter the dungeon!”
Jiang Li took some time to calm his excitement, then resolutely said.
As soon as the words fell.
The system’s prompt popped up.
【Ding!】
【This game dungeon: "Vanishing Paradise"!!!】
...
......
After a short darkness.
Jiang Li saw a white light in front of him.
He took a moment to adapt to the sudden transition from extreme darkness to pure white, and then carefully observed his surroundings.
Looking around.
Jiang Li had a rough idea.
He was in a pure white room.
And on the walls in the four directions, there were faint vertical cracks.
He guessed.
These should be the gaps left by the doors when they were closed.
The overall feeling was like a cell in a science fiction movie used to imprison superhumans.
And the things he discovered next also indirectly confirmed Jiang Li's guess…
“My neck…”
Jiang Li was about to check his body,
When he felt something strange at his neck, he reached out and touched it, and the cold feeling of metal instantly came.
Because he couldn't see with his head down, and there was no mirror or smooth enough wall surface in the room to reflect, Jiang Li could only use his hands to grope around, and finally confirmed that it was a metal ring!
“Can’t take it off…”
Jiang Li tried to take it off.
But he found that the metal ring was unusually tight, and it even faintly ached when he moved it a little.
Jiang Li vaguely realized… that the metal ring might have penetrated his flesh!
Jiang Li’s heart sank.
He quickly checked the other parts of his body.
But besides his neck, he didn't find any metal rings.
And in the process.
Jiang Li also confirmed that the current body was his true body, because even the birthmark on a certain part was the same. But the strange thing was that he couldn't find any trace of the Bloodfang or the Emperor's Power.
And.
Compared to when he first entered the dungeon, his current physique seemed to be a bit too strong…
After getting used to his physical strength in place.
Jiang Li looked around again.
His mood was a bit heavy.
“Is it really a prison?”
A white room closed off on all sides.
Plus a mysterious metal collar.
Made Jiang Li’s current mood a bit chaotic. This start was obviously very bad…
“Right!”
“Didn’t the system prompt just say that this dungeon was called… "Vanishing Paradise"?”
While thinking.
Jiang Li’s eyes suddenly lit up.
The corresponding memory came to his mind at the same time… There was a theatrical version called that!
“Almost forgot, there’s a dungeon introduction!”
Then.
Jiang Li remembered the background introduction that had appeared in the "The First King" dungeon last time.
He was about to open it to check and confirm if the dungeon world he was in was what he thought it was.
Suddenly.
“Shhh…” A sound rang out.
It was the right door that suddenly opened.
Jiang Li subconsciously looked over, vaguely seeing a figure standing in the back.
He slightly concentrated, wanting to see clearly.
The next moment, he felt his eyes blur, and the figure had already come in front of him…
“Whoosh… Bang!!!”
Amidst the intense pain, Jiang Li flew backwards, crashing heavily to the ground.
“Cough cough…”
Jiang Li sucked in a breath of cold air and quickly looked down at his shoulder. There was a deep wound there as if cut by a sharp blade, with crimson blood constantly gushing out.
But with an enemy in front of him, Jiang Li couldn't be distracted to examine the wound carefully, he could only press it tightly with his hand, endure the pain, and then quickly look up towards the front.
And at this glance.
He instantly made Jiang Li’s pupils contract!
Because the figure that had attacked him just now.
It was a gray and white mantis monster with arms like sharp scythes!
“Gray and white? Animal characteristics?”
“Could it be…”
Such distinct characteristics made Jiang Li’s heart even more certain of his previous thoughts…
