Volume 1: The Dark Cavern Chapter 24: The Trial Begins
Early morning.
Ayton slowly opened his eyes, remembering last night's madness. He asked for Ariel's first time like that, and his heart was in a trance.
"Big brother, you're awake. Illuri's voice came from the side.
"Ilully, why did you wake up so early today? β
"It's the big brother who woke up too late, and now the light is much brighter. Ilully pointed to the light that was ventilating into the koushe. "And even Sister Muyue hasn't woken up. β
"Yes. Ayton rubbed his eyes and sat up. It seems that he was so crazy yesterday that he slept too dead, but why didn't he even wake up Mu Yue, could it be... Ayton was a little apprehensive.
"Brother... Brotherβ" Ariel let out a low groan, as if awakened by Ayton's movements.
Ayton smiled lightly and stroked her long silver-white hair, which made her can't help but sigh again. "Brother, last night was so bad. β
Ilully's face was full of confusion: "What happened last night?
"Well, it's nothing, don't worry about it, it may be that Dong Xueli is a little damp. Ayton disguised.
"Oh. Ilully didn't dig any further.
At this time, the wings in the cage moved, and Mu Yue also woke up, but Ayton found that her face was a little rosy.
"Sister Mu Yue, why is your face so red, didn't you sleep well last night?" Yiluli asked suspiciously, why everyone was a little abnormal this morning.
"Ah, is there one?" Hearing that last night, Mu Yue's face couldn't help but become redder again. "I'm fine, don't worry. β
Because she was worried about whether Iluri had been poisoned, she observed the two of them for a night last night, but fortunately, Ilully slept peacefully and nothing happened.
At this time, Ayton had already determined that Mu Yue seemed to have discovered something about last night, and he also became embarrassed. patted Ariel's little head in his arms. "It's time to get up, little lazy bug. β
Ariel didn't open her eyes, rubbed Ayton's pregnancy and rubbed again, and said coquettishly, "Don't get up, sleep with me." β
It seemed that she was too tired last night, and Ayton continued to lie in his arms, his hand gently soothing her on her back, causing the latter to make a burst of shenyin sounds.
It made Mu Yue and Yiluli blush, and Mu Yue opened the cage and walked out by herself, her posture was a little weird.
"Is Big Brother going out today?"
"Hmm. Ayton nodded, he was going to Bahrain to learn the art of blacksmithing. Yiluli was a little reluctant, Mu Yue usually only cultivated in the cave, and rarely took the initiative to talk to her. "I can take you with me if you want to go out. β
"Okay. As soon as she heard that she could also go out, Iluli jumped up for joy, it seemed that she did not like to stay in the cave all day.
"Mu Yue, let's go out for a walk. β
"No, I don't want to go out today. Mu Yue shook her head.
"Let's go out together, how boring it is to be alone in a cave. Iruli stepped forward and persuaded.
Mu Yue retreated, it seemed that she really didn't want to go out.
The two had no choice but to give up. At this time, Ariel also woke up in a daze, and after washing up, the three of them left the cave together.
Mu Yue looked at the back of Yiluli leaving, her lips moved, looking at Yiluli's happy expression, she wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, closed the iron door and poured a bucket of water to prepare to take a bath.
So the days passed like this, every day during the day and Ariel went to Bahrain to learn blacksmithing, and sometimes took Yiluli with her, and Mu Yue said that she didn't want to go out no matter how Yiluli persuaded her, and stayed in Dongxueli to practice Dou Qi as a whole. It's only in the evening that everyone is entertaining together.
.......
It took ten days for Ayton to fully master the 'Explosion' enchantment, and then another 10 days to successfully enchant himself and Ariel's weapons.
Successfully upgrade their weapons to 'epic' quality.
After that, Bahrain asked Ayton to practice hard at home, pass that test, and then go to him to study. Ayton agreed, and the four of them stayed in the cave, occasionally going out to get some food or supplies.
Ilully has been pestering Ayton to learn to play the flute, and all of Ayton's inventory was emptied at once, Mu Yue said that she didn't want to study on the surface, but secretly asked Eruli for advice, and she told it all, which caused Ariel to laugh at her.
Ayton also asked them from time to time about their knowledge about the ground, so as to lay a good foundation for life on the ground in the future.
After tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time, Ariel seemed to be getting bolder and bolder, and even dared to signal Ayton to do that in front of the two of them during the day, but Ayton decisively refused. As a result, she had to secretly get up late every night to provoke Ayton, and he began to refuse this, knowing that doing too many of these things was not good for his health, but he couldn't resist Ariel's temptation. It wasn't until several days in a row that they didn't notice anything wrong with their bodies, but both of them became more and more energetic.
Ayton acquiesced to the behavior, but controlled himself not to be as crazy as he had been the first time.
As for Mu Yue, she knew what these two were doing every night, but she was embarrassed to say it. I didn't want to listen to it.,But every time I don't know why I can't sleep.,I had to cover my wings over my ears and pretend to sleep.,I can't help but have some embarrassing pictures in my mind.,Every time I wake up in the morning, I find that my lower body is in a mess.γ As a result, she was eager to learn how to sleep so dead like Iruli.
A month later, the entrance to the Land of Trials.
The Trials Ground is located in the depths of the Dark Realm, separated from the Dark Elf Residence by an enchantment arranged by a dark elf mage to prevent all the demonic beasts from pouring out.
Ayton and Ariel stood at the edge of the crowd and watched Atocle, with no one around him.
"It's strange, didn't Syla say he had called someone to attack us in the middle of the test? At this time, Saliyaz was meditating alone at the edge of the crowd.
"I don't know, anyway, we'll follow him as soon as we enter, deal with him first, and then hunt the monster. Ayton said in a deep voice.
"It's Sylva, she's finally here. Ariel spotted Sylna not far away, nodded to the two of them, and then closed her eyes and recuperated.
This was what they had agreed yesterday to meet again after they entered, and then they would follow Artokle together and wait for an opportunity to kill him to prevent future trouble.
The Famas at the entrance saw that everyone was almost there, raised his staff, and sent out a black semo signal to fly into the air and explode. Seeing this, the dark elves of the Blood Sacrifice Square swung their swords and slashed at the unarmed slaves, whose faces were full of despair, and they fell in a pool of blood in a scream.
The corners of Ayton's mouth twitched unnaturally for a moment, and he was even more determined to escape from here.
The mages chanted bitter incantations, guiding the blood to flow to the central pit, and then merging into the blood moon above, the blood moon suddenly emitted the most dazzling red light, and the surrounding energy crystals moved one after another, pointing most of the light towards the place of trial, the ground of the dark elf city of Drow gradually dimmed, and the place of trial was like day.
"Now you can enter the Land of Trials, remember not to enter the core area, there are many fifth-order or even sixth-order demonic beasts in it. Famas admonished.
The Land of Trials is divided into three parts: the periphery, the depths, and the core. There are only some first-order and second-order demonic beasts in the periphery, and third-order demonic beasts and even fourth-order demonic beasts can be found in the depths, and the core area is in a big pit in the deepest part of the trial land, I heard that there are a large number of fifth-order and even sixth-order demonic beasts, and even the strength of the previous dark elf queen of the eighth order entered the core alone or died.
"Brother, Artokle has already entered, and Sylna has followed. Ariel whispered beside Ayton
"Well, let's go too. The two followed. I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ayton feels that Sheena is a little weird today, as if she has lost her mind.
Entering the place of trials, the two met with Sheena, and at this time, Ayton noticed that Artokle in front of him suddenly accelerated, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up." β
The three of them accelerated together, and Ayton didn't know if he could outrun him in terms of speed, but Ariel must be able to outrun him.
"Hmph, it shouldn't be that I didn't find a helper, I'm afraid that the two of us will retaliate, so I want to hide quickly. Ariel said disdainfully as she ran.
"Not necessarily, not to be taken lightly. Ayton said calmly, none of the dark elves who have survived until now are fuel-efficient lamps.
Yatokle was very fast, he was very familiar with the terrain, after all, he had been here many times, and Ayton had only been here once, if it weren't for Sylna, I am afraid that neither of them would have lost it many times.
Seeing that she was about to lose it, Sylna suggested. "Why don't I and Ariel follow first, and leave you a mark on the way. "In terms of speed, Ayton is indeed not as powerful as the assassin-based Ariel and the long-time Sciena who has lived in the Land of Trials.
But Ayton immediately refused: "It is impossible for Ariel and I to be separated." β
"Oh well. Sylna said helplessly, and the three of them continued to follow Yatokle in the rear.
I don't know if it was because Yatokle's fighting spirit was exhausted, but his speed gradually slowed down, and then Houjin entered a valley.
"Good chance, this place is very remote, we can ambush him here. Sylna was pleasantly surprised.
But Ayton found out that something was wrong, if this was a good place to kill people and sell goods, then why did he dare to come here, was there an ambush?
Seeing that the two were not moving forward, Hirna wondered, "Why didn't you leave?"
"I'm afraid of an ambush. β
"There are three of us, are we still afraid of an ambush, this opportunity can't be missed. Sylna looked a little anxious and urged.
But this made Ayton even more suspicious, but Sheena had no reason to help Artokle, she was mainly a bow and arrow, and she didn't usually use a sword, and he didn't have a grudge against Sheena.
Ayton suddenly thought of something: "Sylna, is Anna okay?" β
"What!?" Sylna's face changed, and then she forced herself to pretend to be calm: "Why are you asking this, she's fine, it's okay, don't worry." β
All this was looked at by Ayton, and in three sentences Anna was fine, obviously with a ghost in his heart. Ariel also clenched the weapon in her hand at this time, ready to attack at any time.
"Tell me, what's wrong with Anna. Ayton said calmly, "If she is caught, I will help you save her." β
Sylna finally couldn't help it, and took two steps back, her expression cold, but her eyes didn't dare to look at Ayton. "You can't save her. β
"Haha, I was discovered, Sylna, your acting skills are really bad. Three figures came out of the jungle behind him.
