The success rate of fusing Nanming Lihuo with the Frost Sword unexpectedly became 100%.
Although the success rate of the Frost Sword and Nanming Lihuo combination changed, when Bai Ye switched back to the famous sword Bloodthirsty and the Dark Shadow Battle 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 synthesized.
Bai Ye pondered and then attempted to synthesize the Frost Sword with the famous sword Bloodthirsty and the Dark Shadow Battle Axe.
The result was a 10% success rate for the former combination and still 1% for the latter.
However, what pleasantly surprised Bai Ye was that the synthesis of the famous sword Bloodthirsty and the Dark Shadow Battle Axe achieved a 30% success rate.
After several attempts, Bai Ye finally understood some of the patterns.
First, synthesizing weapons of the same type would grant a success rate bonus, such as flying swords with flying swords, or axes with axes.
Furthermore, weapons with similar characteristics or nature of the same type would receive a less significant but still noticeable bonus, such as a flying sword with a regular sword.
Second, synthesizing items of the same attribute would also provide a bonus, such as fire attribute with fire attribute, or water attribute with water attribute. As a lesser option, items of similar immortal spiritual energy would also receive a bonus, but spiritual energy and magic were incompatible.
Third, the outcome of each synthesis was uncertain. The combination of Nanming Lihuo and the Frost Sword did not necessarily result in the Frost effect every time. However, once synthesized successfully, the success rate became 100%, and the resulting item would always have the Frost effect.
After many failed attempts, Bai Ye only succeeded once more. Nanming Lihuo and the Flying Flame Sword, with a 65% success rate, were successfully fused into Nanming Lihuo (Flame), increasing the number of weapons in the King's Treasure to nine.
The most regrettable part 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, but the 50% success rate still resulted in failure.
Bai Ye could only sigh, "I hate these probability games the most."
Regardless, Bai Ye had discovered a new way to exploit the system.
That is, using the gacha machine to draw weapons and then synthesizing them with each other. This way, he could have a chance to obtain several weapons daily to fill the King's Treasure.
Bai Ye did not yet know how many weapons would be needed to upgrade the King's Treasure's quality, but at least filling it with fifteen weapons to upgrade from white to green quality was not a difficult task.
As Bai Ye pondered, he reached out and wiped away the holographic screen before him, then looked around.
The Holy Grail War had ended, and Bai Ye was thrown back into the Glorious Canyon.
Mulan and the others, of course, were not foolish enough to wait around indefinitely. There was no one in sight.
What could Bai Ye do?
He had no choice but to make his way diligently!
Although the matter of the Great Wall was settled, Bai Ye still planned to revisit it and would not mind staying longer if necessary.
After all, the Great Wall held immense potential for excavation, and its forbidden zones had yet to be opened.
Secondly, both Kai and Li Xin were heroes confirmed to possess the Golden quality embodiment ability. Furthermore, while Bai Ye disdained the hero tombs on the first level, he could try to investigate if he could obtain a quest to upgrade his access qualifications to the hero tombs.
It was a bit of a waste of the Nanming Lihuo sword.
This was a divine weapon no less inferior to the Xuanyuan Sword. If he could find a forbidden zone, 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 return to the Great Wall from the Glorious Canyon, and the gacha machine would surely have reset.
He proceeded onward.
And then…
Bai Ye discovered he was lost!
The Glorious Canyon was more complex than Bai Ye had imagined, and it had more than one entrance and exit. Bai Ye wandered around the Glorious Canyon for two hours. After finally managing to exit the Glorious Canyon…
Bai Ye was astonished to find himself facing a zone boundary!
Without even looking, he knew he had taken the wrong path. The Great Wall was nowhere in this direction, and Bai Ye did not remember crossing a zone boundary when he first arrived.
But since he had already come this far…
Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, then decided to simply step across the zone boundary.
After all, there was no rush to get back to the Great Wall. Judging by the fact that the forbidden zone had not been opened, the Great Wall's forbidden zone was not something that could be opened at the present time. Finding a hidden quest was already good enough.
Moreover, as long as it was related to the hero zones, Bai Ye felt there was hope for upgrading his hero tomb access qualifications.
In his previous life, Bai Ye had entered the third level of the hero tomb, and it was not obtained at the Great Wall.
Bai Ye mused as he crossed the zone boundary.
Soon…
A forest appeared before Bai Ye.
It gave off a peculiar feeling!
The entire forest did not feel lush and green but rather…
Deep, eerie, and sinister!
Occasionally, the wind would blow, causing the branches to sway and the leaves to rustle with a "shaa, shaa" sound.
Bai Ye observed his surroundings and couldn't help but say, "This is a supernatural area, isn't it?"
It had a very sinister feel, as if the forest ahead was a gaping maw of an evil spirit, waiting for its prey.
But at that moment…
"Due to a participant discovering and entering the forbidden zone, Mount Natagumo, all participants currently located in the supernatural ghost area will be sent to different locations within Mount Natagumo in three minutes."
"Forbidden Zone Mission 1: Defeat a member of the spider demon family of Mount Natagumo (this kill can be transferred among chosen ones). Mission Reward: x1 random ability of the defeated spider demon."
"Forbidden Zone Mission 2: Rescue a member of the Demon Slayer Corps (this rescue can be transferred among chosen ones). Mission Reward: x1 Nichirin Blade and x1 random basic breathing technique."
"Forbidden Zone Mission 3: Defeat the controller of the spider demon family, the Lower Rank Five of the Twelve Demon Moons. Mission Reward: x1 Demon Blood, x1 random Blood Demon Art (Spider Demon), x15 God Stone Fragments."
"Gentlemen, for the sake of obtaining God Stone Fragments, please fight hard."
…
Bai Ye tilted his head, "What's going on?"
This sudden opening of a forbidden zone caught Bai Ye by surprise for a moment, and then he couldn't help but chuckle.
Previously, he was always the one opening forbidden zones. Now, he was finally experiencing the treatment of someone else opening a forbidden zone and being forcibly pulled into it?
Besides that…
"It's Mount Natagumo. So, one can enter here without going in the direction of 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 ghost area.
It was an area filled with various ghosts and the Demon Slayers who fought against them.
And Mount Natagumo was the area where the Lower Rank Five, under the command of the Demon King, resided.
At the same time, Bai Ye had also been to the Mount Natagumo forbidden zone in his previous life.
However, in his previous life, Bai Ye was a failure in the Mount Natagumo forbidden zone.
At that time, Bai Ye was still very weak and had not come here of his own volition. He was forcibly pulled into the forbidden zone, and not only did he fail to complete any of the forbidden zone missions, but he was also nearly killed by other chosen ones.
