Volume 1: The Dark Cavern Chapter 17: The Land of Trials

"Come out, Mu Yue. ”

The next morning, Ayton opened the cage.

Mu Yue still looked at Ayton coldly, didn't come out, there were still some tears on his face, it seemed that he must have secretly shed a lot of tears last night.

"Hey," Ayton sighed helplessly. "Let me help you unlock the forbidden lock. ”

“... Give me the key, I'll solve it myself. ”

"Okay. Ayton handed the key to Mu Yue and asked her to untie it by herself, wearing the forbidden demon lock for a long time will cause her fighting spirit to decline, and I don't know what will happen if she wears it overnight, if it causes her to decline in fighting spirit and become an ordinary person, it will be more difficult to take her out of the Desperate Forest, and more importantly, Ayton doesn't want this Wing Clan girl to die tragically in this dark cave.

"Mu Yue, if you swear not to kill me until we escape from the Forest of Despair, I can allow you not to wear the Forbidden Demon Lock. ”

Mu Yue's delicate body shook slightly, and she looked at Ayton in a little surprise

"You just believe me. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Why?" Mu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Ayton carefully.

"Uh, intuition. Ayton didn't know why he wanted to help her so much, maybe because she was cute, and he looked at her body himself, and felt a little guilty in his heart, but he was embarrassed to say it.

“........”

"Didn't Iruli tell me that I'm not like the other dark elves. Ayton spread his hands, saying that you can't help it if you don't believe it, and it won't hurt you anyway.

“......”

"And if you wear the forbidden demon lock for a long time, your strength will also decrease, and you will become an ordinary person, and then our chances of escaping from the forest of despair will be even more slim, I will give you a day to think about it. ”

“......”

"Whew, hey, why did my brother get up so early? Ariel woke up in a daze.

But seeing that the forbidden demon lock on Mu Yue's neck had been lifted, his face couldn't help but turn cold, but he didn't say anything, it seemed that Ayton's admonition last night had some effect.

At this point, Iruli also woke up. "Big brother, Sister Mu Yue, Sister Ariel, it's early. ”

"Morning. Ayton said hello. "Ariel and I are going to hunt demonic beasts on the outskirts of the Trials Ground today, so stay in the cave and don't run around. ”

"Hmm. Yiluli seemed to be a little reluctant: "That, when will the big brother come back?"

"I won't be back until the evening, and I can eat whatever I want. ”

"Hmm. ”

"By the way, you have this dagger. Ayton handed Mu Yue a fine iron dagger that he had used before. "Don't open the door until anyone comes when I go out, take care to protect yourself. ”

After passing the first-order test, Ayton installed an iron door at the entrance of the cave to prevent people from visiting in the middle of the night, although there are rules that say that people of the same clan cannot kill each other, but there will still be some cases of people 'missing' or something, and the law enforcement department will not have any clues.

Mu Yue took the dagger, and the expression in her eyes was a little complicated.

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

Ayton was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Mu Yue's face finally softened him, he was inexplicably happy in his heart, and habitually touched Mu Yue's head, but was knocked down in the air.

Ayton was a little embarrassed and said, "Because I'm willing." ”

"Brother...."A resentment came from behind her, it was Ariel, at this time she was carrying a small backpack behind her, slightly wrinkling Xiao Qiong's nose, looking a little unhappy.

"Oh, it's time for us to go. Ayton picked up the large backpack and sword in the corner, and walked out of the cave with Ariel.

"Stay safe and don't take anyone else's word for it"

Inside the cave.

Mu Yue looked at the slowly closing iron door motionlessly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Sister Mu Yue, are you okay. ”

Looking at Yi Luli's worried eyes, Mu Yue's expression finally relaxed.

"I'm fine. ”

"Alright then, I'll help you heal the wound on your back, it might get better sooner. ”

"Hmm. ”

Deep in the Land of Trials.

Twisted black jungle and shrubs are everywhere, and the perennial smoke is eerie.

A pre-third-order spider demon was lying on his own web, waiting for the cave bat to arrive.

A black magic blade interrupted its sleep, but this first-order magic only left a trail on the shell behind it, and it immediately let out a roar in the direction where the Darkblade was flying to show its anger.

A dark elf slowly walked through the mist, looked at it with disdain, and another dark blade flew towards him.

The 20-centimeter-wide Dark Blade struck the Cobweb's hard shell with only a faint white mark, causing no substantial damage, but the provocative act infuriated it completely.

"Shhh

"Pop" Another dark blade struck its head, and as a wise monster couldn't bear it anymore, it finally left the cobwebs entrenched in the trees and attacked Ayton, it wanted to tear the intruder in front of it to pieces.

"Hmph, is it finally down? ”

A black mist enveloped the spider demon, but the black smoke had little effect on it, which had lived in the dark underground for a long time, and still rushed straight towards him.

Ayton smiled slightly: "Then let me see your strength." ”

The blood-colored fighting qi attached to the 'Bloody Blade Flurry' Nether Sword collided with one of the spider demon's forelimbs, making a 'zizi' metal collision sound. The 'Fine' quality Nether Sword cut a hole in its leg, and dark green blood bubbled out of it.

The cobweb demon who was "hissing" in pain roared again, and couldn't help but secretly annoy himself for being too careless.

Wounded, it knew that it was no match for the dark elf, so it quickly took a step back, spat out the cobwebs at him, restricting the direction of his attack, and fled back to the webs on its own, so that it still had the strength to fight.

Seeing his intentions, Ayton smiled secretly and dodged the cobweb, while condensing a 'shadow arrow' that shot precisely into one of the cobweb demon's eyes.

"Shhh

Although it was hit by an arrow in the eye, it was not a big problem for it with six eyes, and when he looked back and saw that Ayton had no time to pursue him, his ugly face showed a humanized expression of joy. Fighting on a huge web woven by itself, its strength will be greatly improved.

It had just seen that Ayton would only attack it with a magic blade so small in power, thinking that he was just a novice, but it didn't expect the sword in his hand to be so strong that it could actually break through its shell, and at the same time, it secretly decided that it must not leave the cobwebs easily.

The Cobweb Demon was focused on Ayton in the distance, not noticing that a petite dark elf girl lurked in the trees above.

The girl saw that the cobwebs were about to pass through here, and quietly jumped down.

'Blood Spike'

The sharpness of the "click" weapon, the attack bonus effect of the Shadow Fighting Qi, plus the successful sneak attack, the spider web demon has no defense.

Ariel pierced the spider demon's skull with a sword, and white brains and dark green blood gushed out of it, and Ariel jumped out of the way, without the slightest touch on her body.

"Brother, I succeeded. The huge cobwebed demon body collapsed in response, and the girl couldn't help but smile smugly.

"Well, it's still Ariel. Ayton walked over to the spider demon's skull and pulled it in, pulling out a marble-sized monster crystal nucleus.

"This is already the sixth third-order crystal nucleus, and it should be enough. Ayton wiped it and placed it in his backpack hidden under the tree.

The backpack is bulging, and it seems that there are still a lot of Warcraft crystal nuclei among them.

Ariel stepped on the spider web demon and said disdainfully: "Is this a demonic beast, it's so weak, it will be solved in a few clicks." ”

If this sentence is heard by others, I don't know how they will feel, others may not be able to kill a third-order demonic beast in a day, and you killed six demonic beasts in one morning and you think that the demonic beast is too weak, it is clear that you are too strong.

In fact, other dark elves like to act alone, one is that this can better improve their strength, and people often burst out with strong fighting spirit when they are isolated. The second is that they don't trust other people, and they are afraid of killing the monsters together and then fighting again because of the ownership of the crystal nucleus, after all, the place of trials is the place where the dark elves have the most missing people.

The strength of the two Ayton, as well as the tactical cooperation and mutual trust between the two, and the command and use of Ayton's tactics, led to the two of them gaining so much in the morning.

"Let's go, rest first, and then it's time to leave the place of trials, and go to Balina in the afternoon. ”

"Okay. ”

The two of them rested on the spot, it stands to reason that there is already a third-order spider web demon here, and there are few other high-level demonic beasts around, so this place is safe for the time being.

But on the way back, you may encounter some magical beasts, so recover all your strength here before you leave.

Ayton sat in an open area, looking around warily.

Ariel, bored, leaned over Ayton.

"Brother, do you like that wing clan very much? ”

"Well, why do you ask this. Ayton was a little stunned, not knowing how to answer, for fear of upsetting her.

Ariel turned her head to look at Ayton with a calm expression.

"I'm fine, I just want to know how my brother feels about her. ”

But Ayton was still too familiar with her, and he could see a hint of vinegar in her eyes.

Ayton showed a thoughtful look, and Mu Yue's first impression of him was that of an angel with folded wings, tragically trampled under his feet, which made people can't help but feel pity. But he and Mu Yue had too little experience, and they had only known each other for less than four days.

"I like it, I can say that I like it, but unlike my pure love for Ariel, I feel more pity for Mu Yue, because she was tied to this strange place by our kind, and even lost one of her wings, and was treated like that by us, so I feel very sorry for her and want to help her.

It turned out that my brother just took pity on her. Ariel laughed secretly.

"I understand, then I'll try to let her go in the future, after all, I'm just pitying her. Ariel said arrogantly, and deliberately accentuated her tone when she said that she was pitiful to the two.

Ayton was a little helpless, trying to be the hell, didn't he say the same.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in the distance, and it was the dark elves and the demonic beasts fighting.

"Let's go, let's take a look. ”

"Good. ”
