Chapter 183: A Chance Encounter
The third floor, the sacrificial area -
There were also twelve exits on the second floor of the Land of Trials, and Fang Yu chose the third one, but after passing there, they still didn't meet the silver Vislan, and the Golem Guard was also lifeless and inactive.
He was still a little strange, theoretically the people of Silver Vislan should have entered the Trials Ground earlier than them, unless of course the other party really didn't even want to activate the Golem Guard, but it was not above board, but a little pedantic.
The third floor of the ruins is a thick red color, like the blood of thousands of bones before they died, and there is even a pool of blood in the center of this level, which contains the souls of thousands of slaves.
But the pool of blood there has long since dried up, and the blood has turned to ashes, and the bones are full of white bones, a dark and gloomy scene.
From this level onwards, the strength of the enemy has increased significantly, the Blood God Priest and the Wailing Wraith are both level 12 undead, the latter is even more difficult, it looks like a bloated floating corpse, its face is pale, its eyes are pitch black, and its appearance is unimaginably vicious.
Legend has it that the priests of Sinsas used vicious spells to shackle the souls of their enemies under an eternal curse to create this monster. Of course, this spell has long been lost, and what they see is only an illusion created by Torragotos.
The Weeping Wraith is disembodied, bloated but agile and elusive, and you may know when a hollow face emerges from the floors, sky guards, and walls to attack the team.
Therefore, the pace of the group inevitably slowed down.
In the long blood-colored corridor, Tenaric flicked his tail and threw it with all his might, spear in his hand screeching through the air, pinning a Blood God Worshipper to the wall.
The latter screamed with teeth and claws, but the gray eyeballs quickly dimmed, the knotted muscles dried up, and the blood that flowed down the shaft of the spear turned to dust as if it had evaporated, and fell to the ground with a stagger, and at last there was nothing left.
The box walked over and twisted his fingers on the ground, twisting up a layer of dirt and dust, looking a little surprised.
Tenaric pulled his spear back with all his might, feeling a little bored by such an enemy, and turned back and asked, "This is already the third layer, how long will it be before we can catch up with the people in front?" β
"From the third layer onwards, the rules of the trial are different," Fang Yu recalled the rules and replied, "The ten entrances of this layer all have corresponding keys, hidden on the ten lord monsters on this level, and the identity of the leader and the latecomer in this layer is blurred, because the forerunner must find a way to open the door, while the latecomer can enjoy the convenience they bring." β
"Of course, the rules for guarding the golem still exist."
"So what do we do?"
"The best option is naturally the Praying Mantis Catcher Yellow Sparrow behind, and if the Jeffrey Redcoats and the Blood Oath are killing the Lord monsters on this level, we can take a key from them, that would be great." Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied, "But that's too ideal, the other party may have already passed through this layer, and we may not be able to meet them." β
"The lord monster only has a general activity area, but the map is in front of Yinjian, and the information we bought may not be reliable. However, the location of the exit is fixed, I have an idea, we can go to Exit 1 first, there is the activity area of the lord monster where the exit key is located, assuming that the Jeffrey Redcoats do not pass through Exit 1, we will turn back to the activity area of Lord 1 to ambush them. β
He paused, as if to clear his mind: "But if Exit 1 is already open, I can try to see if I can pass directly and shorten the trip." But if that can't be done, we'll go to Lord Three. β
After Fang Yu finished speaking, he found that the three of them were looking at him without saying a word, and he couldn't help but pause and asked, "What's wrong, did I say something wrong?" β
"How did you think of so much at once?" The Paparal's eyes widened, though still black, with two beans: "You just looked like ...... It's like ......"
"It's kind of like an incident analyst for our brigade."
"Yes, yes," Parker exclaimed, "that's it, and it was the same last time I was at Doriffin, and it was like a mold carved out of the same mold as the analysts I've seen on TV." β
"It's kind of like Ta-Kuka," Tenarik replied, "it's our clan's psychic medium, in other words, Hosaki and Psimancer." β
Fang Yu scratched his head, he was just analyzing it according to the existing clues, but he really didn't think he was very powerful.
"Then do it," the lizardman prince glanced at him and nodded, "It's still up to you, my human brothers, just like in our clan, the opinions of the mediums and prophets are always authoritative. β
"Besides, you're still the Dragon Chosen Oneβ"
Fang Yu paused for a moment and couldn't help opening his mouth.
He'd love to say that what you think of as the Dragon Chosen is actually Miss Tata who lives in my head, and I don't know what Tenaric would have thought if he knew that he was just a leprechaun.
Of course, he wouldn't do such a dead thing.
It was the first time they had chosen Exit 1, and it was on the central axis through the third level of the sacrificial area, near the dry pool of blood, where the illusion of the smell of blood still seemed to permeate the moldy air after millennia.
And along the way, the owl was keenly aware of a detail, although the route to Exit No. 1 was the shortest path, the strength of the monsters on this road was obviously a notch higher. It seems that the requirement of strength always comes first in trials, which is in line with Torragotos's choice.
I don't know how many blood god sacrifices and weeping ghosts were done, and the four of them arrived at their destination, and the monsters formed by illusions are refreshed in real time, so there is no such thing as the convenience of picking up predecessors.
Exit 1 was no different from the previous floors in shape, still a rotunda and a teleportation altar, somewhat similar to the one Fang Yu had seen under the elven ruins.
As Fang Yu expected, this teleportation altar had indeed been activated, and the Jeffrey Redcoats were still one step ahead.
But they were about to step onto the altar when there was a sudden rustling sound in the darkness.
Before Fang Ou could react, Tenaric reached out from behind and dragged him between a crack in the wall. In addition to him, Parker and Chest are both agile classes in the team, and they reacted quickly, hiding in the hideout and hiding behind the shadows.
The second junior took out a dark crystal from under his towering collar and threw it in front of everyone, and instead of falling to the ground, the crystal was suspended a few inches high.
The crystal flickered with a dark light, forming a wall of shadows, silently enveloping several people.
Although Fang Yuan's reaction was not as fast as his, he also recognized that it was a type of shadow crystal-smoke crystal, its main function was to block sound and light, which in the hands of the magician, it was a more powerful magic spell.
Not only can it absorb sound from within, but it can also amplify it from without.
Sure enough, there was a clear, clattering sound of footsteps on the shadow curtain wall, a little disorganized. "Seven people." Parker listened attentively and concluded that the second junior was only a moment slower than him, and could not help but glance at the Paparal.
Seeing this, Parker was about to brag about his glorious history, but Fang Yu was already familiar with this routine, and casually took out a compressed biscuit and stuffed it into this guy's mouth. The Paparals immediately puffed out their cheeks, and all that was left was the sound of whining.
Thankfully, the Shadow Wall absorbed the sound from this side.
In the darkness, those people had already walked out, very conspicuous white robes and white robes, silver armor, holding halberds, or carrying swords and shields, and wearing gorgeous flying wing helmets.
With such a conspicuous style of equipment, people can recognize their identity at a glance - Silver Vislan.
Seeing this, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, he actually met the other party in this place, so how did they miss it before?
The people of the silver vislan got closer and closer, and the four of them subconsciously held their breath, even the most toothy and clawed Paparals did not dare to make a mistake at this moment. The shadow curtain wall is not omnipotent, not to mention that the other party has an extraordinary background.
The other party stopped not far from the shadow curtain wall, Fang Yu glanced in that direction covertly, and the people of Silver Vislan seemed to be looking at the altar, and then one of the familiar voices said:
"The Jeffrey Redcoats have passed," said Fang Ou, who heard the voice of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Silver Visland, "we are still a step too slow, and we must find a way to prevent them from getting the next obelisk." β
Fang Yuan's heart sank.
He had been worried about the black obelisk.
However, none of these grand guilds were fuel-efficient lamps, and these people were also coming for the obelisk, and he remembered Sophie's performance in the hall, and couldn't help but secretly snort cunningly.
Who says Silver Vislan doesn't lie?
Although the other party did not lie, but at that time, the woman was obviously misleading them, making him almost think that the other party had participated in this trial for a rich reward.
Luckily, they got to this place first. It's just that Fang Yu is also more and more curious in his heart, what secrets are hidden behind that obelisk, which makes these big guilds so obsessed with it.
Behind the disappearance of the high-level of the rain listener, it seems that it is really inseparable from this matter now.
But it was at this time that Sophie pulled out her long sword and glanced in the direction of Fang Yu and the others with some confusion. The latter was so frightened that he almost froze in place, but a muffled sound came from the darkness that regained everyone's attention.
"Golem Guard." Sophie looked in that direction, immediately judged the source of the voice, and said, "Prepare for battle!" β
The sound of a sword unsheathed.
