The fusion success rate of the Southern Bright Vermilion Fire with the Frost Condensing Sword unexpectedly became 100%.
Although the success rate of the Frost Condensing Sword and Southern Bright Vermilion Fire fusion changed, after Bai Ye switched back to the famous sword Bloodthirsty and the Shadow War Axe, the success rates remained at 5% and 1% respectively.
This indicated that the success rate was not random but fixed, or rather, it depended on the weapons being fused.
Bai Ye pondered for a moment and then attempted to fuse the Frost Condensing Sword with the famous sword Bloodthirsty and the Shadow War Axe.
The result was a 10% success rate for the former and still 1% for the latter.
However, to Bai Ye's surprise, the fusion of the famous sword Bloodthirsty and the Shadow War Axe had a success rate of 30%.
After several consecutive attempts, Bai Ye finally understood some of the patterns.
First, fusing weapons of the same type would grant a success rate bonus, such as flying swords with flying swords, or axes with axes.
To a lesser extent, weapons with similar characteristics or natures would also provide a bonus, such as a flying sword with a sword.
Second, fusing items of the same attribute would also result in a bonus, for instance, fire attribute with fire attribute, or water attribute with water attribute. As a fallback, items of the same type of immortal spiritual energy would also have a bonus, but spiritual energy and magic would not be compatible.
Third, the outcome of each fusion was not fixed. The combination of the Southern Bright Vermilion Fire and the Frost Condensing Sword would not necessarily always result in the Frost Condensing effect. However, once a fusion was successful, it would have a 100% success rate for that specific outcome, and the synthesized item would always have the Frost Condensing effect.
As a result of numerous attempts, most ended in failure. Only one more successful fusion occurred: the Southern Bright Vermilion Fire and the Flying Flame Sword, with a 65% success rate, successfully synthesized into Southern Bright Vermilion Fire (Flame), increasing the number of weapons in the King's Treasure to nine.
The most regrettable failure was the fusion of the Frost Condensing Sword and the Flying Flame Sword. Despite the ice and fire clash, they were both flying swords of the same quality, but the 50% success rate still resulted in failure.
Bai Ye could only sigh, "I detest these probability games the most."
Regardless, Bai Ye now had a new method to exploit loopholes.
This method involved using the gacha machine to draw weapons, and then using those weapons to fuse them together. This would allow him to obtain several weapons each day to fill the King's Treasure.
Bai Ye did not yet know how many weapons would be needed to upgrade the quality of the King's Treasure, but at least filling it with fifteen weapons to upgrade from white to green quality was not a difficult task.
While thinking, Bai Ye reached out and erased the light screen in front of him, then looked around.
The Holy Grail War had ended, and Bai Ye was thrown back to the Honor Valley.
Mulan and the others, naturally, wouldn't be foolish enough to wait around. There was no one in sight.
What could Bai Ye do?
He could only diligently make his way back!
Although the matter of the Great Wall was settled, Bai Ye still intended to revisit it. If necessary, Bai Ye wouldn't mind staying longer.
After all, the Great Wall held immense potential for exploration, and its restricted areas had not yet been opened.
Secondly, Kai and Li Xin were heroes confirmed to possess golden quality manifestation abilities. Moreover, while Bai Ye wasn't interested in the hero tombs on the first level, he could try to explore if it was possible to obtain a quest to upgrade his access qualifications to the hero tombs.
It was a bit of a waste for the Southern Bright Vermilion Fire Sword.
This was a divine weapon no less inferior to the Xuanyuan Sword. If he could find a restricted area, Bai Ye could declare the game over and send everyone home.
As it stood, Bai Ye could only spend his time traveling, as it would take several days to travel from the Honor Valley back to the Great Wall. By then, the gacha machine would have surely reset.
He proceeded onward.
And then...
Bai Ye discovered he was lost!
This Honor Valley was more complex than Bai Ye had imagined, and it had more than one entrance and exit. Bai Ye wandered in the Honor Valley for two hours and finally managed to exit. Upon emerging from the Honor Valley...
Bai Ye was stunned to find 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 didn't recall crossing a region boundary when he first arrived.
But since he had come this far...
Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, then decided to simply step across the region boundary.
After all, the Great Wall wasn't urgent. Judging by the fact that the restricted area hadn't been opened yet, it was likely that the restricted area of the Great Wall could not be opened at the present time. Finding a hidden quest was already good.
Moreover, as long as it was related to hero regions, Bai Ye felt there was hope for upgrading his access qualifications to the hero tombs.
In his previous life, Bai Ye had entered the third level of the hero tombs, and he hadn't obtained the qualification from the Great Wall.
As Bai Ye thought this, he crossed the region boundary.
Soon...
A mountain forest appeared before Bai Ye.
It felt very strange!
The entire mountain forest did not give off a lush, verdant feeling, but rather...
a deep, sinister aura!
Occasionally, the wind would blow, shaking the branches and rustling the leaves with a "shasha" sound.
Bai Ye surveyed his surroundings and muttered, "This is a supernatural region, isn't it?"
It had a very sinister feeling. The forest ahead seemed like an open maw of an evil spirit, waiting for its prey.
At that moment...
"Due to a participant discovering and entering the restricted area, Mount Natagumo, all participants currently located in the supernatural ghost region will be teleported to different locations within Mount Natagumo in three minutes."
"Restricted Area Mission 1: Eliminate a member of the Spider Demon Family of Mount Natagumo (this kill can be transferred between chosen ones). Mission Reward: Random ability of the defeated spider demon x1."
"Restricted Area Mission 2: Rescue a member of the Demon Slayer Corps (this rescue can be transferred between chosen ones). Mission Reward: Nichirin Blade and random Basic Breathing Technique x1."
"Restricted Area Mission 3: Defeat the ruler 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's Stone x15."
"Gentlemen, strive to kill each other for the Shards of God's Stone."
...
Bai Ye tilted his head, "What's going on?"
This sudden opening of a restricted area caught Bai Ye by surprise for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile.
He used to be the one opening restricted areas; now he was finally experiencing the treatment of someone else opening one and being forcefully pulled in?
Besides this...
"It's Mount Natagumo! So, you can enter here without going through the magical region!"
Bai Ye finally understood his current location.
It was indeed a supernatural region, or more accurately, this area was also called the ghost region.
It was an area filled with various evil spirits and the demon slayers who fought against them.
And Mount Natagumo was the region where the Lower Rank Five, one of the Twelve Demon Moons under the Demon King, resided.
At the same time, Bai Ye had visited the restricted area of Mount Natagumo in his previous life.
However, in his previous life, Bai Ye was a failure in the restricted area of Mount Natagumo.
At that time, Bai Ye was still very weak, and he hadn't come here by his own will. He was then forcibly pulled into the restricted area, and not only did he fail to complete any of the restricted area missions, but he was also nearly killed by other chosen ones.
