Chapter 67
The two of us moved forward step by step, but we were still attacked by monsters from time to time, and fortunately we were not besieged by monsters. As time goes on, I feel more and more that this is too slow, and if we continue at this pace, we will be crushed by the pressure in our hearts before we reach that door, but what can we do to ensure safety and speed up? I asked myself again and again, but I never came up with anything that worked.
I thought back to what had happened to me, trying to come up with a workable solution from the battle with the monster, but I couldn't think of anything special.
"Big brother, what are you thinking?" Xiao Jing asked when she saw me walking slower and slower.
"I was thinking about how I could increase my speed, because it would be hard for us to get to the other side of the cave." I said dejectedly.
"I have a solution, but I don't know if it's feasible or not." Xiao Jing thought for a while, and suddenly said out loud with a smile and mischievously.
"What's the solution?" As soon as I heard it, I asked if it was feasible or not, and even if it didn't work, it would at least inspire me a little.
"If you set fire in front of you, won't you be able to walk quickly and safely through this dangerous place?" Xiao Jing replied.
Set fire to the sea, I didn't react at once, and after thinking about it, I realized what Xiao Jing meant. yes, don't I always attack monsters before I can see them? If I put a sea of fire in front of me, won't the monsters in front of me be revealed?
"Hehe, if you're smart, we'll do it." I turned around and said to Xiao Jing with a smile.
I thought of it, I immediately put a sea of fire in front of me, and when I saw that there were no monsters, I immediately walked to the front, and Xiao Jing also followed me and walked over quickly. In this way, I set the fire on fire and moved forward quickly, and in a short time the two of us were in the middle of the cave.
Just when I thought I could walk to the other side of the cave smoothly, an unexpected accident happened. Just when I confidently put a sea of fire in front of me, I didn't expect two gorillas to appear in the sea of fire, and the two gorillas had raised their claws high and attacked me because of the attack of the sea of fire.
Because I haven't been attacked for a long time, I didn't expect such a situation at all, and even the magic shield was not opened at this time, and it was too late to dodge when I came back to my senses.
After being attacked by two gorillas, I quickly opened the magic shield and stuffed a few bottles of powerful solar water into my mouth to replenish the only half of the mana left.
"Be careful yourself." I whispered to her, and kept unleashing burst flames at the gorilla, and after my re-attack, the gorilla became even more furious, let out a loud roar, raised its claws and pounced on me, I was already preparing them to come to this hand, where would they succeed again, while they rushed over, hurriedly dodged to the side, and then continued to attack.
Seeing that I had slowly adapted to the sudden sensation of emission, Xiao Jing stopped treating me and began to join the ranks of attacks, using the Moon Soul Spirit Wave to attract the attention of one of the gorillas in order to reduce my burden. Seeing that only one gorilla was following me, I began to release a more powerful rain of fire, and the fireballs continued to smash towards the gorilla, and the gorilla began to gradually lose its weight and try to attack me more violently, but at this time I was firmly in control of the situation on the field, where would I give it a chance to turn the tables? As soon as it attacked, I immediately dodged to the side, exerting the power of the Flame Rain to a greater extent, and in a short time, the gorilla had to set foot alone on the Yellow Springs Road.
After dealing with a gorilla, Xiao Jing and I began to flank the remaining poor guy, after being attacked by two people in different directions, the gorilla lost the target of the attack, just wanted to walk towards Xiao Jing, I increased the intensity of the attack, and as soon as it came towards me, I stopped attacking and let Xiao Jing hit it alone, just like that, until the time of death, the gorilla did not find a suitable target to attack, and sent its final blow.
After this accident, I didn't dare to be careless, and after retreating to Xiao Jing's side, I continued to set fire to the front, and after finding that there were no monsters in the two places in front of me, I took a few more steps forward, and then put it again. In this way, after more than an hour of difficult trekking, the two of us finally managed to reach the small door.
"Big brother, shall we go in now?" Xiao Jing asked.
"Yes." I nodded and continued, "But I'm worried that it will be weirder and more dangerous inside, so we have to rest for a while before going in, otherwise I'm afraid that our physical strength won't last until we encounter some special circumstances." ”
After a short rest, I felt that it was time to go in, so I asked Xiao Jing, "Are you ready?" When we were ready, we went inside. ”
"Hehe, I've been ready for a long time, have you forgotten that I have practiced martial arts, my physical strength is much better than yours." Xiao Jing stood up and said to me with a smile.
I put my hand on the door, and with a gentle push of it, it opened, and the inside was the same as the outside, still empty and I couldn't see anything, just a little smaller than the outside. What kind of monster is in there this time? I tried to take a step inside, and then I realized that there was a door on the other side of this small cave, and it turned out that this was not the last floor.
"Looks like we're going to walk through here, there's a door on the other side, I don't know what about the monster in this little hole, we have to be more careful." I turned back to Xiao Jing and said.
"Well, I will, big brother, you should be careful." Xiao Jing said, smiling heartily at me.
I put a sea of fire in the open space in front of me according to the gourd drawing, and there was no movement, so I put another one in front of the sea of fire, and after making sure that there were no monsters in front of me, I took a few steps ahead. Just when I wanted to set fire again, two people appeared in the sea of fire in front of me, I hurriedly retreated back and took a closer look, I damn it, isn't it me and Xiaojing in front?
There were two people who looked exactly like us, and I forgot that they were just a bunch of data, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" ”
"We are you." I didn't expect those two people to be able to speak, even the voice and demeanor of speaking are exactly the same, if the four of them are mixed together, I think even the gods will not be able to tell which of us is real and who is fake. As soon as I thought of this, I hurriedly took Xiao Jing's hand and whispered to her, "Hold my hand tightly, don't relax." ”
Xiao Jing obviously didn't expect such a situation, holding my hand tightly, her face was pale, and she seemed to be a little distracted, I think she might be afraid that as soon as she let go, she would mix me with the "me" opposite.
"We attack together, I don't know how powerful their attack is." I whispered to Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing didn't answer yet, but the person on the other side who was exactly like me spoke: "You don't need to discuss, we all know what you think in your heart, to be precise, we are part of your body." ”
What the? A part of our body? So how to fight this, what kind of magic attack I want to use, the other party will know everything before I hit it. But if we don't try, standing here like this will be even worse for us for a long time, and I clenched the staff of soul lust, and without saying a word, it was a burst of flames at the other party.
Sure enough, they seemed to know what I was thinking, and before my burst of flames was released, the two of them had already dodged to the side, and my burst of flames hit the air, and even the hair of the two guys was not hurt, and it seemed that the fake walker knew what I was thinking, and the two of them had the same mind, so the two of them acted in unison. Looking at the scene in front of me, my heart became inexplicably nervous, and I didn't know what I should do for a while.
"I've said it a long time ago, we all know what you're thinking, so I still advise you not to waste your efforts and surrender obediently." Hearing the words of the guy who looked the same as me carved out of a mold, my heart was a white mist, and I looked back at Xiao Jing behind me in confusion, and then I realized that Xiao Jing was gone......
"Xiaojing?" I exclaimed.
"Big brother, I'm here." Suddenly, two voices sounded in front of me, and I looked forward, only to see Xiao Jing standing with the person who looked exactly like her, but I couldn't tell who was Xiao Jing and who was the fake.
"Big brother, don't listen to her, she's fake." Xiao Jing shouted at me anxiously, I was about to walk over and grab her, and another Xiao Jing also called anxiously: "Big brother, don't listen to her, I'm real, she's fake, I just didn't know how to come over." ”
As soon as I heard it, this seemed to be more like the real one just now, and I was about to reach out to pull her, but my hand was halfway out and retracted, I really couldn't judge who was the real Xiao Jing and who was the fake Xiao Jing, the two of them looked exactly the same, even the expressions were the same, how do I choose?
However, something even more unexpected happened, just when I was in a daze, the guy who looked exactly like me flashed to my side and said to Xiao Jing: "Don't believe him, I am the real walker." ”
Listening to his words, my heart was completely cold, now it's okay, not only I can't tell who the real Xiao Jing is, but Xiao Jing can't tell whether I am a real walker or not. I looked helplessly at the two girls opposite, not knowing what I should say at this time. I lost my confidence and desire for victory, and I stood in confusion, not knowing what I should do to get out of here.
Time passed little by little, the four of us stood in the cave, no one spoke, I looked at the two Xiao Jing in front of me, even the eyes were as anxious, as if two bodies controlled by a brain, everything was done at the same time, there was no order at all, so it was really difficult for me to find any flaws.
Suddenly, I thought of sending a message to Xiao Jing, so I hurriedly turned on the communicator and sent a message to Xiao Jing, telling her that I was standing on the left, but after a while, the hope in my heart turned into disappointment, and both Xiao Jing sent me a message back, one said she was on the left, and the other said that she was on the right, and the two messages received at the same time were only one word apart, who should I believe?
Am I asking a question that is too simple, what if I ask a more complex question? Thinking of this, I hurriedly sent another message to Xiao Jing, asking her to immediately answer when we first met.
As soon as the news was sent, the two Xiao Jing looked up at me in surprise, and after a while, I received a message from two people, Xiao Jing on the left said that it was in the palace, and Xiao Jing on the right also said that it was in the palace. I looked at the two messages, and then at the two of them, and saw that they were also looking at me in confusion, and I knew that they must have received the message from the imposter next to me at the same time as receiving my message, but she just didn't know who was real and who was fake.
I reluctantly put away the communicator, and secretly said that even if I want to kill a BOSS, it is better than the situation I am encountering now, thinking of this, I can't help but secretly clench the soul lust staff in my hand and become murderous, but when I think of doing this, it will definitely hurt the real Xiao Jing, and my hand slowly loosened again.
To tell which of the two of them is real, and to let Xiao Jing know that I am the real doer, what kind of message should I send to her? Could it be that the message I just sent was difficult for her, so that the fake Xiaojing also had time to share what was in the mind of the real Xiaojing? If that's the case, I'll be able to send a simple message this time, but what kind of message to send so that she can react in the first place, I began to think hard.
It must be a simple and clear message, and it must be able to react at the first time, suddenly, a sentence flashed in my mind, I quickly turned on the communicator, and sent a sentence to Xiao Jing, as long as she sees this sentence, she will definitely raise her head to look at me, because the content of this message is "Raise your head to see me".
At the moment when my message was sent, the depressed thing appeared again, and the two Xiao Jing raised their heads almost at the same time, looking at us in confusion. How so? Could it be that the two Xiao Jing are really controlled by one brain, no, if so, what is the difference between Xiao Jing on the left and Xiao Jing on the right?
But if they're not controlled by a brain, how can they move so consistently? I suddenly realized that the fake walker like me could know what I was thinking, but for so long, I never knew what he was thinking, and I didn't know what he was going to do next, we weren't two bodies controlled by one brain, but just the fake walker who stole my thoughts. In this way, the relationship between the two Xiao Jing should also be like this, but the fake Xiao Jing is plagiarizing the real Xiao Jing's thoughts, so their actions will be so consistent, so I can't see the slightest flaw.
So, if I can get that fake Jing to react, but not through the real Jing, then don't I know who is real and who is fake? But how can you let the fake Xiaojing know, but not the real Xiaojing?
I glanced at the stagger next to me, and saw that he had also turned his head to look at me, his expression completely indistinguishable from mine. Suddenly there was a bold idea, could it be that both the fake walker and the fake Xiao Jing were only temporarily using my and Xiao Jing's thoughts, they should not have a memory function, if there was a memory function, the expression of the fake walker just now could not be the same as mine, but should be different.
On the premise of assuming that my thoughts were correct, I began to make up my mind to carry out a magical attack on the two Xiao Jing, and secretly muttered to myself, hoping that Xiao Jing would be okay, and that she would be able to dodge in time. I held the Staff of Soullust in my hand, and after so many battles, I found myself most nervous this time.
I raised the Staff of Soul Lust high and unleashed a burst of flame as fast as I could, smashing it in the direction of the two Xiao Jing, and in an instant, a miracle finally appeared. A small Jing quickly flashed out of range of my magic attack before my burst of flames arrived, but the other Xiao Jing froze in place and didn't react at all, and took a live attack from me, floating out of a bright red -113.
"Haha, haha. Come out in their original form, I know which of you is a fake. I said with a smile as I cast a shapeshift and flew towards the real Xiao Jing. I grabbed Xiao Jing as fast as I could, and I originally thought that the fake walker would also fly over, but I didn't expect him to just stand in place and smile bitterly, and said, "Amazing, the number one mage in the world really has a hand." With that, he disappeared into thin air, along with the fake Xiaojing. It really came and went without a trace, as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Jing looked at me, and then at the hand I was grabbing, I immediately understood what she meant, her face turned red, and she quickly let go of her hand, not knowing where to put it.
"Hehe, big brother, don't be so nervous, by the way, you haven't said how you recognized me." Xiao Jing saw my embarrassed appearance and said to me with a smile.
"This, the mountain people have their own tricks, and the heavenly secret must not be revealed." I laughed and deliberately sold the guanzi. Hehe, who told you to make fun of me just now, this time I have a chance, and I won't double my old Ben back?
"Big brother, just say it, if you don't say it, I'll stand here and not leave." Xiao Jing saw that I deliberately didn't say anything, and made an angry look.
I saw that her face had changed, so I had to stop and tell her everything I thought, and then she smiled and said, "Well, big brother, you're not very stupid." ”
"Let's go, let's go check out the next cave, there are more powerful monsters waiting for us inside." As I spoke, I strode forward, and by what had just happened, I was sure that there would be no other monsters in this little hole, and sure enough, until I reached the door, I did not encounter a single strange shadow.
"We're in, be careful." I looked back at Xiao Jing and reached out to push the door, who knew that before my hand touched the door, the door creaked open......
I subconsciously took a few steps back, and Xiao Jing, who was standing behind me, didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly stepped back. After a while, I saw that there was no movement inside, so I poked my head out and looked inside, and it was a smaller cave, and the inside was as empty as the two caves outside.
"Be careful, follow me and don't fall behind, I don't know what ghosts are inside." I looked back at Xiao Jing and whispered to her.
"Well, I will, big brother, be careful." After what happened last time, Xiao Jing seemed to become much more honest, pulling my clothes tightly and following step by step.
I carefully put a sea of fire on the ground, and then I began to walk slowly forward, just a few steps, but suddenly a woman's laughter came from in front of me: "Haha, the first warrior in the whole game is really good, brave and strategic, and was able to come here safe and sound, it seems that I underestimated you too much." ”
"Who are you?" I looked up suddenly, and saw that in the cave that was empty just now, I don't know when there was a woman wearing the same Taoist clothes as Xiao Jing, and her eyes were looking straight at me.
"Me? Haha, don't you even know me? I'm the host here. The woman laughed maniacally, as if she thought I was too ignorant to even know who she was, but God knows, I really didn't know she was there until I saw her.
Seeing her react like this, I didn't know what this nervous woman wanted to do, so I had to turn around and signal Xiao Jing to be more careful, and grasped the Soul Lust Staff in her hand a little, ready to start a new battle at any time.
"What the hell do you want to do?" I asked nervously, if I want to face some mysterious guys like this, it's better to let me kill a few more bosses, and don't think about anything, just start fighting.
"Don't worry, since you are still standing here well, I won't do anything to you, I just want to tell you that you have successfully completed the expedition on the 10th floor of the True Heaven Palace, and you can get the reward you deserve." The woman suddenly said softly as if she had changed into a different person, making it impossible to figure out what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
"Reward, what reward?" Since it was said that there was a reward for me, then I would take it generously, anyway, if I don't take it for nothing.
"Do you know what this place is?" Instead of answering my question, the woman asked.
"What is this place? This still has to ask, this is the 10th floor of the True Heaven Palace. I said without thinking.
"Yes, this is the 10th floor of the True Heaven Palace, but there is another name here, called the Illusory Realm." The woman nodded.
