At the moment when the white light lit up, the darkness around seemed to freeze for a moment, and then in an instant, it seemed to be stimulated, boiling and tumbling like a living thing.

Viewed from a third perspective, the surrounding darkness is centered on the floating lantern, and the surrounding darkness rushes like a rushing wave against the white light emitted by the "unknown lantern".

At the moment when the darkness froze, even in the frenzy, Ning Yuan seemed to feel an indescribable terror coming, and subconsciously stopped.

Then the scarlet eyes were attracted by the white light that lit up in the pure darkness, and unconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the white light.

Then he saw the darkness of a living creature rushing into the white light.

The white light does not illuminate a large area, only about one meter around the center of the lamp. And as the darkness rushes, this range is slowly shrinking.

However, when the range of white light was reduced to half a meter, no matter how much the surrounding darkness surged, it could no longer make the white light take a step back, but the darkness continued to turn into smoke and be absorbed by the lamp.

And as the smoke-like black gas poured into the lamp, the white light, which had been dim, became brighter and brighter as if firewood had been added.

It was also at this time that Ning Yuan, who was originally in a frenzy, finally struggled to wake up when the frenzied emotions and thoughts in his mind fell into a brief blank due to the huge terror caused by the darkness and the visual impact of the white light.

The moment he came to his senses, Ning Yuan saw the light that he had not seen for a long time.

Ning Yuan looked at the lamp emitting dazzling white light in the darkness in a daze, and didn't care about the stinging pain and dimness in his eyes after suddenly seeing the light in the dark for a long time, and didn't care about the tears that suddenly slipped from his eyes under the stimulation of the light, he just looked at it in a daze.

At this moment, only the lamp that shone in the darkness remained in Ning Yuan's consciousness.

。。。。。。

"What is the content and purpose of this test?"

Ning Yuan, who was naked in the light of the lamp, thought silently.

Originally, Ning Yuan hadn't thought about this issue carefully.

Ning Yuan thought that the so-called test was to get out of this pure dark environment and find the exit of the secret passage. The disorders of the five senses and the chaotic thoughts and emotions that constantly stimulate the mind are the disturbances of this dark test. As long as you don't resist these distractions of maddening emotions and thoughts, then the test is a failure.

But after going crazy once and witnessing the mutation of the "unknown lamp", Ning Yuan found that he was wrong. Mere madness is not a condition for failure.

He found that if he couldn't decipher the true content and purpose of this dark space test, he would probably really be trapped here for a long time as he had guessed when he first saw a large number of Bigu Dan.

And being trapped in such an environment for a long time, Ning Yuan can foresee that there may only be two endings waiting for him. Committing suicide or using the Reincarnation Pill to reincarnate. The entire soul fell into an irreversible frenzy, and then was sent back to the void by the system for deep soul recuperation.

If it was the second ending, Ning Yuan could be sure that he would completely lose the opportunity to enter this world again.

Losing access to the Neno Continent to participate in the "Regeneration" plan of the combined government of the Ruins and the Stars also means losing the opportunity to witness the miraculous future as a Huang Sheng, and also losing the qualification to realize and witness the ideals shared by himself and many Zhuxia people who have not completely fallen like himself.

Whether he is willing or not.

So no matter what the reason, even if you are forced to commit suicide or take the means of reincarnation pill reincarnation in a corner of the Neno continent to start over. Ning Yuan must not allow himself to completely leave the Neno Continent in the second way.

Before he was completely cornered, Ning Yuan could only try everything and use all means to try to complete the current trial and all the tests that might arise in the future.

So, the first thing to do now is to unravel this dark trial that makes people on the verge of collapse all the time, and completely cut off the possible second ending.

And to unlock this dark trial, Ning Yuan must understand the content and purpose of this dark trial in a short period of time.

Fortunately, the mutation of the "Unknown Lamp" allowed Ning Yuan to be unaffected by the dark trial within the range of light. Whether it is sight, hearing, smell or touch, it is back to normal within the range of the light. The negative effects of darkness are also kept out of the light. So that he can devote himself to the contemplation of trials.

In other words, the half-meter radius illuminated by the light of the "unknown lamp" is equivalent to the "safe zone" in the trial.

"From the moment I entered the hidden entrance to Longya Mountain, this inheritance trial of the city's knot should have begun."

"From the mountain crack to the labyrinth, it can be regarded as the entrance qualification test of the inheritance, and if you can't avoid those natural traps and many forks in the road to find the location of the maze, you won't even have the qualification to enter the real inheritance test place."

"Then the labyrinth can be seen as the first step in the test of inheritance. If the strength is strong, the maze only tests the player's reflexes and hard power. If you can be reckless enough to construct a puppet, the other traps in the maze will be equivalent to minor troubles at best. But if there is no reckless strength, then the maze tests the player's observation, reflexes, decisiveness and ability to adapt to risks and avoid risks. Even if it is the labyrinth's final illusion, these are the tests. ”

"Fortunately, because of the overlapping memories, my performance in this first level of the trial should be okay."

"The second level of the legacy is this secret passage that hides the clues of the races that have disappeared in the continent of Neno. The previous test should also be the ability to observe, act and deduce. Among them, there is only one mortal danger, which is to solve the inexplicable cold in time. If my guess is correct, if the 'Deep Cold' state is not cleared in time, there is a good chance that the player will die outright. Just the 'Deep Cold' state caused by the first 'Unknown Orb' has directly reduced all attributes by fifty percent, and the result of the superposition of the nine beads can be imagined. ”

"But the greater the risk, the greater the benefit. The first time you remove the threat of the 'Deep Cold' state, you will be immune to the following 'Deep Cold' state, and the harvested 'Unknown Orb' will eventually become the 'Source of Ice', a spiritual component. ”

"The second gain is to get a hidden history that isn't in the background material, and to get the primary access to Regeneration."

"If I really want to say it, in fact, the benefits at this stage far outweigh the actual risks."

Ning Yuan tapped his forehead and muttered to himself as he sorted out his thoughts:

"However, there is a fundamental premise for actually reaping these benefits."

"Complete all the Legacy Trials and receive the Legacy in its entirety."

"The trial of this dark space can be seen as a follow-up to the second level of trial, or it can be seen as a trial of the third level alone."

"But what kind of test does this level of trial correspond to the player?"

Ning Yuan, who was muttering to himself, frowned, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the darkness outside the light.

"Willpower?"

"It seems so."

"But it's not just simple willpower. In such a pure dark environment, even the kitten people who are born with night vision may not be able to see. And"

Ning Yuan stood up and walked to the edge of the lamp's light, raising a hand and reaching out into the darkness at the edge of the light.

As the arm stretched forward, the part of the arm that had sunk into darkness disappeared into view as if it had become invisible. If it weren't for the fact that he had been in this kind of darkness as if the whole person had disappeared, Ning Yuan would definitely be startled.

But now he is calm.

Reach your other hand into the darkness as well, and clasp them together by feeling.

As Ning Yuan expected, there was not the slightest sense of touch.

Stepping one foot into the darkness likewise does not feel down-to-earth. But Ning Yuan observed from the part of his thighs that was still in the light, and Ning Yuan was sure that he was indeed stepping on the ground.

"Maybe it's more than simple darkness." Ning Yuan guessed.

In order to test his guess, Ning Yuan stepped half of his body sideways into the darkness, and half remained within the range of light.

Then Ning Yuan felt something unusual. The left half of his body, which had disappeared into darkness, seemed to be wrapped in an oily film in Ning Yuan's mind. The vision in the left eye is completely lost, as is the hearing in the left ear and the touch sensation in the left half of the body. The loss of tactile sensation caused the balance of the left half of the body to be abruptly disaligned.

Not only that, Ning Yuan also felt that the negative emotions of irritability, nausea, disgust, and fear seemed to rush into his mind along the contact surface between the darkness and the body. It was as if there was an invisible voice constantly buzzing in his head, making Ning Yuan unconsciously irritable.

The frown retreated into the light. Ning Yuan carefully felt these foreign emotions slowly fade. It may not be accurate to say that it has faded. Because Ning Yuan saw that as the external negative emotions faded, a faint black mist emanated from the left body and seemed to be attracted by the lamp, and the crystal cover of the lamp drifted towards the lamp and merged into the tadpole-shaped light source.

"This darkness seems to be somewhere between liquid and gaseous? Foggy darkness? ”

While thinking about it, he looked at the "unknown lamp" in the center of the light. The lamp is a traditional soul lamp style, the base is like a bronze wine bottle, and the traditional soul lamp is different from the "wine bottle" has a peach-shaped crystal lampshade, and there is no wick in the lamp, or there is no "wick" in the traditional sense, but a horizontal "tadpole-shaped" white air mass. The light is emitted by this "tadpole-shaped" white air mass.

"Regardless of what aspect of the player this Dark Trial is aimed at, it must have something to do with the 'Unknown Lamp'."

"Perhaps the 'unknown lamp' in the Kun bag is the key to breaking the game in this dark trial."

Ning Yuan took a closer look at the lanterns that seemed to have become different, and then opened the Kun Bao to look at the remaining lanterns. In fact, there was nothing else in the Kun bag except for the lamp that had not been thrown.

"Let's get the lost stuff back first." Ning Yuan sighed.

The rest of the things are still lost, but the "Source of Ice Condensation" and the "Nine Refining Qi Turning Heart Sutra (Fragment)", Bigu Dan and Reincarnation Pill, as well as a few hidden blueprints must be found. These are the capital and keys to Ningyuan's survival, extrication from difficulties, and whether it can rise in the future.

Ning Yuan closed the Kun bag and lifted the "unknown lamp" that had been floating.

Although it is still called "Unknown Lamp", the information fed back by the retrieval skill has changed slightly.

"Unknown lamp: Lamp of unknown material. (Purifying)"

Yes, the "Unknown Lamp", which originally had no other information other than its name, was introduced and refined in the feedback in the retrieval skill.

This is also one of the key factors for Ning Yuan to guess that it is the breakthrough of the Dark Trial.

"Hopefully I'm not running too far."

How long it took from losing control to waking up, how far he ran away, and when and where the items in the Kun bag began to be discarded, Ning Yuan didn't have the slightest idea. Even if I wanted to recreate the memory of that time with "yesterday dusk", I couldn't do it because I didn't have an impression.

Therefore, Ning Yuan could only use the stupid method of using the lamp as the center of the circle to spread and search to try to retrieve the items he discarded when he went crazy.

Therefore, after Ning Yuan lifted the mutated lamp, he took out an "unknown lamp" from the kun bag that had not been touched enough and changed in darkness and put it in place.

Strangely, the lamp that Ning Yuan took out did not levitate like the abnormal lamp. Even Ning Yuan took the lamp and stepped back so that the lamp on the ground was directly exposed to the darkness, but the lamp on the ground still did not change.

Ning Yuan frowned and returned to his place. After carefully observing the two lamps, he realized that the lamp he was taking out now seemed to be one of the other 49 "unknown lamps".

"Is it only one of the lamps that works here?"

Ning Yuan put the lamp on the ground back to Kunbao's original position, took out one from the "unknown lamp" placed in another corner, and put it back on the ground.

The lantern stepped back.

Sure enough, the lamp, which had been exposed to the darkness, suddenly levitated and lit up with a dazzling white light. The darkness around him rushed in again, and then suppressed the light in a half-meter radius. Instead, a faint black aura began to peel away from the darkness deeper than ink, and was slowly absorbed by the lamp.

After verifying that his guess was correct, Ning Yuan began to search along the center of the second glowing lamp with confidence.

Ning Yuan walked through the darkness with the lamp in his hand.

Whenever the light of the lamp advanced, Ning Yuan could always feel that the fog-like darkness was pushed back by the light like a living thing, and the darkness behind it was surging in, always maintaining a state of wrapping the edge of the light.

Ning Yuan felt more and more that this pure darkness was probably not pure darkness, but something else, just pure darkness.

However, for the time being, Ning Yuan did not have any clues to probe the essence of this darkness. And now the most important thing for Ning Yuan is to recover the lost items. In particular, the spiritual component "Ice Condensation Source", which is related to the authority of "Regeneration" and the mandatory tasks on his body, and the Bigu Dan and Reincarnation Pill, which are related to his lifeline.

Circles searched along the lamps suspended on the ground that were constantly absorbing black gas and emitting white light, not letting go of any trace on the dark ground that shimmered and reflected in the light.

Finally, somewhere in a radius of about 30 meters with the light of the lamp as the center, Ning Yuan found the first item - a bottle of Erzhuan Bigu Dan. Fortunately, perhaps because the surrounding darkness eliminated the impact of the collision, the porcelain vase containing Bigu Dan was not damaged in the slightest. This made Ning Yuan, who had always had some worries, greatly relieved.
