Chapter 401: The Selection of the Holy Aunt
Task difficulty SSS, which is already the third most difficult of all.
Even if the big guild came over, they didn't dare to say that they would definitely be able to do this task.
But at this time, Xia Lu and Li Chuyu of the Dragon Tomb Society encountered an accident.
My mission changed from S-level to SSS-level.
Task difficulty changes are a rare event during the course of a mission, and can only happen if your own task conflicts with someone else's.
As for guild quests, it is even less common to encounter changes in the difficulty of the quest in this regard, because each guild quest is basically an independent task, and you basically want to change the difficulty of the quest, unless someone from the same guild is pulling the back legs.
Ahem, the current Xia Lu and Li Churen, it seems that they are facing this situation.
After Li Chuyu saw the host, she saw that everyone sitting also nodded, they seemed to have discussed something before, and after seeing Li Chuyu, they had already made up their minds. Li Chuyu didn't know what he had discovered, so he was taken to the main hall by the host, but the other monks did not come.
On top of this main hall, there was originally a statue of the Bodhisattva flying to the sky.
But now, the statue has become shattered.
"Just now, the statue of the Great Freedom Bodhisattva suddenly collapsed, and we urgently blocked the news." The abbot was still grim.
Li Chuyu then asked, "I don't know what the host commands?" β
Hearing Li Chuyu's words, the host said: "Several mages of our Zizai Nunnery have already calculated, in the past few days. I'm afraid we're about to suffer a catastrophe. β
"At such a moment, we made a decision." The host said.
At this time. Li Chuyu also knew that the next task was coming.
However, the host did not explain immediately, but called Xia Lu over. Then she told Xia Lu the news that the Zizai Nunnery was about to suffer a catastrophe, and then she said: "Two little junior sisters, although you have only joined my Zizai Nunnery for a short time, you are our pillars, this time, we will elect the Holy Aunt to survive the calamity." β
ββ¦β¦ Holy aunt? Li Chuyu and Xia Lu glanced at each other.
Xia Lu knows the Holy Maiden, but what is this Holy Aunt?
Li Chuyu obviously didn't know this, and she just looked at the abbot blankly.
The abbot also knew that these two people were new believers who had just believed in the Great Freedom Bodhisattva. So he explained to them: "The Holy Aunt is the saint of our Freedom Nunnery, and she is also the basis for the Great Freedom Bodhisattva to come to the world. β
After Li Chuyu heard this, he instantly thought of a word: snatch away!
And this doesn't seem to be your average snatch?
She stood there silently, just listening.
However, the host's statement is a little different from Li Chuyu's thoughts: "As a holy aunt, I can use the power of the Bodhisattva, and I can also temporarily let the Bodhisattva come to this world." Now that I'm facing such a crisis, I'm afraid that only by electing the Holy Aunt can I survive the catastrophe. β
"Excuse me. How do we go about it? Li Chuyu asked again.
"We will select a group of elites to enter the ruins found in my free temple tonight for a trial, and if anyone who can pass through the trial, he will become a holy aunt." The host said.
Xia Lu also understood. Is this the second task of feelings?
However, this must also be the result of the difficulty mutation, and their mission should have reached the stage of fighting the boss. But now it has been forcibly inserted into this stage, which is really uncomfortable.
β¦β¦
"Ahh
The other side. Zhou Xian, who was in a hurry, sneezed two more times.
"What's the matter, I just messed up the means of the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon. Are they still cursing me behind my back? β
Zhou Xian was standing in Zhongzhou City at this time, this extraterritorial heavenly demon's good means was to hide his turbidity power in this free nunnery, Zhou Xian spent a lot of effort to finally break the statue carrying turbidity, and then purify it.
"Without further ado, I'll continue to act, otherwise this evil Buddha will make trouble when he comes......"
After Zhou Xian muttered, he left Zhongzhou again......
β¦β¦
Let's go back to Lee's first encounter.
When Li first met them and came to the Cangjiang River, the riverside was already full of believers waiting to enter the ruins. Li Chuyu knew that these people were already waiting by the river early.
"Everyone here has a fanatical look on their faces, which is a little different from the nuns we saw in the Nunnery before." Xia Lu muttered.
"Well, these people seem to be very powerful monks." In the game, whether it is a warrior, a Taoist priest, or a magician, they can be collectively referred to as monks.
These monks and nuns in front of them are like this. Not only are they superior to the people they saw in the Nunnery before in terms of strength, but they are probably also very domineering in terms of faith, because in terms of their attributes, they all have the title of [Fanatic Believer], and unlike the monks of the Green Name (friendly) Nunnery, their names are all yellow (neutral). And Xia Lu looked at the sickly expressions of these people, and even felt that these people were afraid that if they were not right, they would become red names (hostile).
"Is the title of that holy aunt so tempting......" Xia Lu muttered here.
According to the host, they were all members who volunteered to join the selection of the Holy Aunt, but no matter how Xia Lu looked at these people, she felt awkward. And what made Xia Lu even more puzzled was why the host called Li Chuyu alone at the beginning, and then didn't say a word? Xia Lu smelled an aura called "conspiracy" in the midst of this.
These nuns ignored the people around them, and Xia Lu and Li Chuyu naturally ignored them either.
As the time approached, there were more and more people by the river, and Xia Lu only thought that there were dozens of people at first, but at this time, the dense crowd had reached the number of more than 100 people, and it was still increasing!
On the wide river, it is still as calm as ever. But among the believers on the shore, there are already waves. At this time, Xia Lu heard someone around him constantly muttering about some Bodhisattva. When Xia Lu saw this person, she subconsciously took two steps back. This man's reaction is similar to that of a mentally ill person......
When the moonlight reaches the bottom of the river, a burst of silvery white light rises from the bottom of the river, and at this moment, a burst of ethereal and moving music seems to come from all directions, and the surrounding time and space also seem to have a warm feeling. The legendary "Immortal Mansion Birth" probably feels like this, but this place, as a place of trial in the Nunnery, has obviously been entered many times, and there is naturally no vision of heaven and earth at this time. Otherwise, it's even more interesting.
At this time, Xia Lu saw the nuns and monks on the river bank rushing to jump into the river, although Xia Lu knew that this was the way to enter the ruins, but looking at the river, and the white light cave reflected by the moonlight, she only felt that the cave was like a life-devouring monster, waiting for the person who entered to give his life.
"Huh?" Xu was because of Xia Lu's casual observation, and she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a line of small words on the white light cave at the bottom of the river. "Sister for the first time, look, there are words there!"
These words are twisted and twisted, and they are very different from modern words. In Xia Lu's impression, the ancient Chinese script that is the same as centipede seems to be somewhat similar to these fonts. But what does this text mean?
"I don't understand it at all!" Xia Lu really doesn't understand.
"That's the Demon Clan's script!" Li Chuyu recognized all the fonts on it. The meaning of the words above is ...... Mother Earth Temple? β
"I am afraid that there is some relationship between the Mother of the Earth and the Mother of the Earth...... Xia Lu thought of the conversation she had with Li Chuyu in the real world before, and immediately thought of the predecessor of this Zizai'an.
Could it be that the free nunnery also has something to do with this earth mother?
At this time. The monks also took action, although they were all women. But the strength is not far behind, at this time, they drained the water with great force, and then rushed like a hole, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Li Chuyu and Xia Lu did not go in immediately at this time, but continued to observe, and when almost eighty percent of the people went into the water, Li Chuyu left: "Let's go too." β
Xia Lu's strength was not strong, Li Chuyu took Xia Lu's hand, and then with a wave of the Yitian Sword in his hand, the river broke off for it, showing a small path. Li Chuyu was just an understatement, but in the eyes of Xia Lu and the others, it was tantamount to a miracle.
However, Li Chuyu didn't pay attention to it so much, she took Xia Lu and walked directly into the incitement, it was not dark in the cave, there was a silvery light all around, and there was a river in front of this cave, which showed the [Weak Water River].
"It's really strange that there is a river in the river." Li Chuyu was also surprised at this time, after entering the cave, there was no one else around them, and they didn't know if it was a separate entrance or what the reason was.
"You can't use supernatural powers on weak water rivers, and you need level 8 swimming skills...... I've got enough here, Xia Lu, what about you? Li Chuyu asked.
"Well, my swimming skills are at full level." In the game, there are not only combat skills, but also other miscellaneous skills, such as iron, mining, and swimming, which can sometimes work wonders when the accident occurs. Xia Lu and Li were actually casual players and life players before they first met, and the characteristic of this type of player is that the level is not high, but the miscellaneous skills are usually very good.
After the two of them swam forward for a while, the trend of the cave began to rise, and after a while, the two of them came ashore. At this time, they already knew that in this cave was no longer under the river, but a unique half-plane.
The two of them walked for a while, and the passage in front of them was suddenly covered by mist, this place was already extremely dark, and now there was a black and yellow fog, which was even more infiltrating.
"Xia Lu, why didn't you say a word from just now?" Li Chuyu noticed that Xia Lu had not spoken at all from just now to now.
"Hmm...... Nothing ......."
Li Chuyu turned his head and suddenly smiled dumbly, Xia Lu actually closed his eyes at this time, pulling the corner of Li Chuyu's clothes with his hand, and he didn't care about the situation around him at all.
"Xia Lu, you can't be afraid of the dark, right?" Li Chuyu asked with a smile.
"This ...... The same cannot be said of it...... I didn't feel scared before, but the feeling of this game warehouse is too real, so it's a little ...... Some ......"
Well, Xia Lu was scared.
Especially in front of him, there is a strange black fog, which is even more terrifying, well, in other words, Xia Lu is afraid......
"It's okay, I'll protect you." Li Chuyu smiled softly at Xia Lu, and Xia Lu's originally nervous mood finally relaxed a little.
"But there should be danger in here, right?" Xia Lu looked at the cave in front of her, and hesitated a little.
"Well, but it shouldn't be a problem." Although the difficulty of the task has increased, it is unlikely that there will be an extreme situation at the beginning, so Li Chuyu said, "There should be some monsters in this, but the strength should not be too strong." β
Xia Lu nodded, and then entered the dense fog under the leadership of Li Chuyu. In this thick fog, there are really a lot of demon beasts, but these demon beasts are only seven or eight order Cheng dΓΉ, and the level is not high, with Li Chuyu clearing the field in front, the monsters are not difficult to deal with, and there are even many monsters, with the current strength of Xia Lu, it is not a problem.
After about half an hour of walking, the strange fog finally faded a lot, and when the fog had completely cleared, the two of them finally saw the light in front of the passage.
"The exit has arrived!"
Seeing the bright light, Xia Lu finally relaxed a lot, and the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the front. But when they came to the mouth of the cave, they were immediately stunned.
In front of the two of them, it was not the "Earth Mother Temple", but a strange space!
Only then did the two realize that they were simply in a cliff, and the entrance of this cave was clearly a small hole above the cliff. In front of the two of them, there is an infinitely vast forest, almost invisible at a glance. In this sky, it is a round of the sun hanging high, and there seems to be no big difference from the earth and the dragon tomb world.
"It's ...... Extraordinary, right? β
A cool breeze was blowing, and Xia Lu already knew that the world in front of her would definitely not be the "heirloom continent" in the game.
"A person who can have such a great mana and a great supernatural power to create such a different space must be a strong man in ancient times." Li Chuyu was also surprised.
A minute ago, they thought they were going to explore the temple, but now the path in front of them was clearly a more profound alien plane.
"Yunze Secret Realm Ruins?" Xia Lu glanced at the name of this map, and was also surprised, this place is really a ruin!
"Yunze Secret Realm Ruins?" At this time, Li Chuyu was even more surprised than Xia Lu...... (To be continued......)
