Raymond did not intend to continue to delay in the "living quarters" of the ship island, but found a secret channel to enter the "war zone" directly.

The rules of this trial are based on the number of gold coins to determine the final ranking.

If he wants to stop Arthur from taking the first place, he must have a sufficient amount of gold in his hand to be foolproof.

The size of the Hux Vulture Island is not comparable to any of the urban areas in Philip's territory, and the area is at most quite a condensed small county town. But it also has a complex three-dimensional pipe network structure like Area 23, and there are a lot of pirate places that can be hidden... Whoever wants to collect a lot of gold by killing pirates alone can be very difficult.

Therefore, in order to increase the difficulty of the trial, the academy has also added a regional restrictive competition mode - treasure chest plunder!

The academy's upper echelons have placed a total of eight treasure chests throughout the vast "war zone". Each treasure chest contained fifty gold coins, which were welded to death in eight different places on the island with a special alchemy technique, and could not be moved.

Before each trial student entered the island, they were given a rough map with the specific locations of the eight treasure chests.

At the beginning of the trial, the red, orange, yellow, and green keys needed to open the treasure chest will be scattered around the island by high-level transcendents.

The normal procedure of the trial is that the trialist or pirate will cooperate with each other to compete through exploration, and only after collecting the four colored keys can they open the treasure chest and receive a reward of fifty gold coins.

This also means that whether it is a pirate or a trial student, whoever can get the gold in the treasure chest is destined to be ranked very high in this trial.

The place where the eight treasure chests are placed has become a battleground.

One of the most brutal aspects of this trial rule is the final chest battle. Whoever finds the key will eventually move closer to the location of the eight chests. When people are dense, it will inevitably lead to fierce battles.

Naturally, it is not excluded that some guys who intend to get something for nothing have been ambushed near the treasure chest early, waiting to snatch the key.

Therefore, the eight places where the treasure chest is placed are destined to not be peaceful at any time.

The closer you get to the end of the trial, the more fierce the fight will be.

......

Now that the trial has only begun for more than half a day, there must be very few people who have found the key, let alone four to open the treasure chest.

However, Raymond plans to try his luck first.

Because he had a "Colin's Homemade Master Key" in his package.

This is a small object left to himself by the mysterious man who broke into the "ghost fleet" in the first place, and can open most basic locks.

As long as you can collect a few treasure chests in advance and get a few hundred gold coins, this trial will not be so passive.

Even if the "Master Key" can't open the chest,

Raymond also planned to go to him first to find out the situation in the vicinity,

After all, Arthur's guy boasted that if he wanted to take the first place in the trial, he would definitely not let go of these treasure chests.

......

Ventilation ducts somewhere in the "war zone".

Raymond paused for a moment, sensing no signs of human activity, before he carefully pried open the ventilation partition and jumped into the cabin.

"Whew... Finally came in. ”

Since entering the war zone, Raymond's vigilance has been raised to the highest.

He had been able to see through Ruth's assassination plan in advance, but it was because their assassination methods were too amateurish.

But Arthur is different, after all, he has a very strong werewolf blood. Raymond didn't dare to guarantee that he also had some special means to locate himself, and there was always nothing wrong with being careful.

What's more, he still has to face the entire Aum Academy.

"There should be a treasure chest on the two floors directly above this overrun room, and there are several suitable places to hide, maybe someone is already ambushed there, you have to be careful..."

Raymond figured out the general line in his mind, muttering in small pieces.

He patted the dust off his body and wanted to turn around and go out.

But this look up almost didn't scare the soul out of the body!

He never expected that there was still a person in this room!

How can it be?!

Raymond's first reaction was that he was dazzled and misunderstood.

Just now, he was prostrate on the ventilation duct and listened for so long before he jumped down with confidence.

No footsteps, no breathing, not even a heartbeat!

In this case, it means that there are absolutely no living people in the cabin!

But when he jumped down, he saw a big living person standing not far away, looking at him expressionlessly, as if he had been waiting there for a long time.

In this situation, whoever comes, they are not half scared to death!

......

Raymond would never have imagined that he would actually meet this classmate named Loran here.

Her silver hair was too eye-catching, glowing and fluorescent in the darkness, giving her a faint sensory illusion of translucency.

"That..."

Raymond stiffened his mouth and said, "Lorraine, what are you doing here?" ”

When he said this, his hand unconsciously touched the hilt of the sword.

Such a coincidence, it is obvious that the person who came was not good.

He was even more surprised that his five senses were so sensitive now, and now except for seeing it with his own eyes, other senses did not think that the "person" in front of him existed.

Temperature, breathing, breathing... I don't feel it at all!

If he sensed it with his eyes closed, he would still think that there was nothing in this position two meters away, just a cloud of air.

But when I opened my eyes, I saw such a big living person standing in front of me!

No... It's uncertain if it's a living person.

finally

As Raymond's hand on the hilt of his sword trembled, the silver-haired girl spoke.

"Waiting for you." Luo Lan replied lightly.

When Raymond heard this, his heart was relieved.

She opened her mouth to speak, and finally people felt a hint of the fireworks of a living person.

But...

Wait for me?

What does that mean?

Could it be that I have fallen into someone else's trap again?

......

The atmosphere in the cabin was quiet and a little eerie, and the expected fight didn't happen.

"You... Are you waiting for me here? ”

Raymond looked at Loran and didn't seem to have any intention of making a mistake, and he also suppressed the idea of drawing his knife.

Because in his opinion, if the other party really wants to be unfavorable to him, the moment he landed defenselessly just now, he could easily kill him with a casual knife.

Such a strange hiding method is simply impossible to guard against.

This silver-haired Loren now gave him a very strange feeling, she was the weirdest person Raymond had ever met in the first time. Even when he faced the vampire boss on the third floor of the library, he didn't have the terrifying and eerie feeling he had now, and the hairs on his back stood on end.

No matter how strong the opponent is, at least he can make him feel existent, right?

But unfortunately, the Luo Lan in front of him didn't feel it at all.

There is no breath of a living person at all, but it is a living person!

He didn't forget that this girl was stuffed into the elite class of the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce, could it be that she came for Vanessa? Or is it for the "forbidden object" of the Rubik's Cube? When did the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce have this person?

At this moment, Raymond thought of countless possibilities.

Raymond slowly let go of the hilt of his sword, and before he knew it, his hands were already covered with fine sweat, and he asked, "Why are you waiting for me?" ”

Loren said calmly, "Help you." ”

Hearing this, Raymond's face twitched, isn't there something wrong with this girl's head?

But he didn't think it was funny, but it was weird everywhere.

If Loren was just a weak ordinary girl, she wouldn't have been able to get here at all. The junction of this pipeline is a machine room that has been abandoned for many years, and even the pirates of the vulture regiment will not set foot in this place at all, how did this girl find it alone? Will the vicious pirates along the way easily let her go?

Raymond changed the question and asked, "That... Loraine-san, how did you know I was going to be here? ”

Luo Lan still cherishes the words like gold, and it is the same two words, "Feeling." ”

Hearing this, Raymond had a thoughtful look on his face, and he also had some guesses in his heart.

Could it be that she has awakened some extraordinary sequences with special hidden aura abilities,

Like what... The [Ghost] of Mystery Sequence 8?

That's not right... Even ghosts can't be completely unperceived.

Since he didn't fight at the first time, the guard in Raymond's heart had been lowered, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword was slowly loosened.

He asked tentatively, "Luo Lan, are you extraordinary?" ”

"Yes."

"That's... What sequence are you? ”

"Prophet."
