Act 143: Breath of Ice (Cat Lady's Birthday Special)
(Happy Birthday Kitten Cat~???????????
Xiao Hei's new book "Disaster Comes" is about to be put on the shelves on the National Day, and everyone who is short of books may wish to take a look, and I think it's okay to subscribe to the monthly pass or something you like.
In addition, the update of this book, you don't have to worry about it in the future. Maybe not 100% stable dìng every day, but certainly not every month or something =A=)
While Brando's gamble was underway, Archduke Enrique and his party had already walked through the central labyrinth under the leadership of Kouhua. The road ahead grew wider and wider, gradually forming cavity-like corridors inside the mountain, and the pillars hundreds of feet high and more than thirty feet in diameter supported the rib-like pillars and beams of the behemoths, and when you looked up, these majestic pillars were embedded in the walls on both sides.
The hall was not empty, the prehistoric battle extended here, and the empty walkway was filled with bones, large and small, which still remained in the form of a fierce battle, as if a terrible battle had been interrupted by a sudden disaster, and all those who participated in the battle were frozen in the last moment of their lives. The skeleton filled the space, forcing Anlek and the others to snag their way between them, and he was rounding a winged skeleton that was still wearing a half-length armor covered with silver wings, but the glorious armor of the past had lost its magical brilliance and turned into a pile of rusty and broken copper.
It was the corpse of a servant of the gods, the Seraph, a golden race that had been completely wiped out in the Battle of Babbel, leaving the few remaining clansmen to hide outside the elemental boundaries and disappear with the gods. Today, Vaulnd still has a few second-level gods, but they are not the best among the Silver People compared to these terrifying and beautiful creatures. Duke Anlek noticed the skeleton of the giant wolf who had fought the Seraph, and the third vertebral spine behind the skull of the skeleton was visibly whitish, which was typical of the third generation of twilight wolves. The sons of Fenrir, who were once imprisoned by the gods and their ancestors, are forever imprinted in their chains, deep in the marrow.
Enlek's gaze retracted from the bones, narrowing his eyes:
"What is this place?"
"Meditation Corridor."
"Where does it lead?"
"Where you want to go."
Anlek turned around, beside Dejar. The eldest daughter of Isis was shrouded in a pitch-black robe with some crimson patterns on the surface, the black fabric reflecting her skin like snow, and the hood was so deep that only the pointed chin could be seen. But those red eyes glittered in the depths of the shadows, and the flickering cold light was still clearly felt, and when Enlek didn't speak, Kou Hua pursed his lips and never said a word. Ever since she absorbed the other half of her soul fragments, she has become what she is now, and she is no longer the innocence and innocence she used to seem.
However, it was only when Anlek looked away that the girl had an uncomfortable look on her face, and she frowned.
Enlek could vaguely feel that the eldest daughter of Isis had not forgotten the previous qiē, and the stench demons from the river of brimstone had handed him the fragments of her soul, telling him that this thing could make the unruly Kohua obey, but the latter was not unruly. I didn't show Xiàn out of obedience. Although she did quiet down and led them out of the labyrinth.
"Lord Kouhua." Enlek thought for a moment. He spoke in a hoarse voice.
Kou Hua looked at him.
"Do you remember what happened in this war?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"I just want to see that great war."
The girl raised her head and looked around the hall with a cold gaze, "This is Mayne's subordinate, and when Fenrir's heirs attacked the Meditation Corridor, they collided head-on with the Seraph's Seventh Legion, and they fought here. As you can see. ”
"And then?"
"No, then, the dying Milos activated the central core, and the light of death enveloped the entire battlefield in an instant, I, Mayne and Mel brothers. There are also the Nengs of the third column and their commanders, and time is forever frozen in this moment. The Frost Giants lost their father forever, and the Legion of Dusk suffered heavy losses. ”
"Central Core?"
"It should still be somewhere around here, but you can rest assured, it should also be damaged, and it will no longer pose a threat to you."
Enlek nodded and said no more. It's just that there was a little stirring in his ancient heart, he could imagine what kind of war it was, the Noh clan, the heirs of Fenrir, the Seraph, the frost giants, those most terrible terms in ancient times, but they all turned into powder in an instant, even a being like Kou Hua could not be an exception, this is dusk.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bow his head respectfully.
"I've been offended before, Lord Kouhua, please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter."
Kou Hua's blood-colored gaze under the hood could not see the slightest fluctuation, and she glanced at the human in front of her, unhappy and carefree. But in the depths of his eyes, there was a blazing light.
……
I'm afraid even Brando wouldn't know that the central defense core of the Hibernator Sanctuary has such a glorious past. As far back as he could remember, it was just one of the Templar's bosses, and even less intense than the Twilight Twins' fight, the core was located in one of the halls in the central labyrinth, and it would only remain silent forever in the dust until the player restarted it, even in the activated central core.
And at this moment, Brando is fulfilling his bet.
"Wait," Aloz's voice was hurried, but nice, as she glared at Brando, "Don't use that thing you got earlier." ”
"Turns out she remembers the passing pointer." Brando thought to himself, he wasn't stupid enough to go home, he spread his hands, he wasn't so mad that he burned his experience to play Cheng Dù for a gambling contract.
"Other items can't be used either." Aloz added.
"You're too lenient, do you bet like that?"
"You want to play tricks!" Aloz bared a pair of pointed canine teeth, as if Brando didn't answer, she was about to bite down. Brando had to raise his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, you have the final say." ”
The little female dragon was full of pride, and felt that she had prevented Brando from stealing and playing tricks, relying on her own ability. She didn't think that Brandor could get ahead of her, she was a dragon, and she was the strongest golden dragon among the dragons, although it was not as fast as the fastest blue dragon, but it would not lose to a human.
But right away, she knew what a mistake she had made.
It turns out that the core of this bet is walking through the monster horde. Rather than simply comparing who was faster, the little she-dragon realized this with despair in her heart.
Thousands of breaths of ice, even dragons didn't dare to touch their edges, and every time she tried to move forward, the sparkling activation spells came together like a wall, sealing her path. Aloz naturally didn't dare to plunge into it like this, and there was no way but to bypass it, but fortunately, Brando pointed out to them six pillars that could be used to dodge the attacks of these activation spells, otherwise the little female dragon would be about to go crazy.
If she didn't follow the route Brando had pointed out, she found herself unable to take half a step.
But the cunning human was able to slip through the crevices of the monsters every time. Even if it was so close, it was only a few freezing rays that hit him. For the sake of fairness, each of them had Charles cast a shield against the Frost Freeze Realm, and these few ice rays hit Brando, and it didn't have any effect at all.
"Damn, there is a constant dimensional anchor in this place!"
I don't know where Charles's scream came from.
In short, except for Akane, the remaining people and two dragons were a little crying, and the young wizard attendant finally knew why his lord looked at him with a smile. It turns out that he is killing himself. However, he couldn't figure out why his lord knew that this place would have a remote enchantment spell like a dimensional anchor.
Brando was smiling.
Aloz will never understand. What's the problem. In fact, before the invasion, the Ice Breath was naturally distributed throughout the square, and since it was a natural distribution, it was impossible for the huge number of Ice Breath to lie flat on every inch of the ground. And the fact is that before being stimulated by external objects, most of these activation spells are actually gathered in groups. It's just that there are so many that it looks as if the whole square is all over the place.
That is to say, there are actually one or two fixed routes to cut into.
These classic entry routes are also summarized by previous players from failures again and again, and it is possible to find a pattern after thousands of failures. And no matter how clever or brilliant Aloz is, it is impossible to find the only correct path from thousands of Breaths of Ice at a glance. But Brando can, and that's the information lead -- or the benefits of cheating.
He cut into the only correct route, and then broke into the colony of Ice's Breath as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest, although Brando's speed was neither fast nor slow, so to speak, just right, almost to kill the reaction speed and firing distance of Ice's Breath, so that these activation spells could hardly do anything with the fly that passed between them - but, have you ever seen an angry swarm? The same is true for these Ice Breaths at the moment, although they are slow to react, but once they move, the sheer number of them is extremely terrifying, especially since Brando deliberately disrupts their pace and makes them crowd together behind him.
Countless sparkling activation spells were messing around behind Brando, and Aloz, Starr, and Charr, who were also following Brando, could only gnash their teeth at this moment, they didn't find the path through them before the Ice Breath moved, let alone after they did. In front of them, the breath of ice was like a restless wave, and anyone who wanted to plunge into it would probably end up with no bones left.
Aloz walked this distance further, and he could only stop and jump to his feet: "Brando, you damn cunning human! The little she-dragon waved her claws and roared at Brando's back from afar.
Brando pretended not to hear, he was going around the last pillar and throwing two stones into the two piles of Ice Breath not far away, which was no different from stabbing a hornet's nest, and the activation spell over there immediately fell into a rage and chased him in this direction. He turned around, and the activation spells in the middle and front of the hall had been thrown away by him for some distance, and most of them had been directed in this direction except for the few moments that had been drawn to Aloz and Charr.
If he remembered correctly, there were two exits to the north of the Eternal Square, and the east exit led to the central labyrinth, and he intended to lead the ice breath to that side first. However, there was a problem here, one was that the two giant activation spells that he had exited were difficult to dodge the opponent's attack at his current speed, and the other was how he could turn back after channeling these activation spells. It's not impossible in the game, but he's a warrior, not a nightingale known for his agility - in fact, that's where the difficulty of the whole monster-attracting technique lies, but Brando knows that most of the skills of that era are flawed, for example, he himself modified a lot of meaningless action paths, and he is still very confident in himself, after all, he is a warrior with a pure profession of more than a hundred levels.
If you are not sensitive enough, you can make up for it with experience.
Looking back again, the Ice Breath that clustered together was a little closer, but the sheer number of them limited their progress, and Brando estimated that the activation spells on the left and right were more threatening to him. In fact, at this time, there were already several cold rays shooting at him on both sides, but Brando let all the attacks fall behind him with a light stroke, he crossed the hall laterally, came to the last pillar, raised his head, the east exit was already close at hand, and near the exit in that direction, there were indeed two giant activation spells.
The thing looked like an enlarged version of Ice Breath, each one at least sixty or seventy feet in diameter, and around their bodies, there were some dazzling blue spots of light, like satellites around them, but Brando knew that it was their means of attack, so he deliberately avoided some of them. Either way, in the end, you have to pass between the two Ice Breaths, and there is no trick to do it, you can only rely on Charles.
He immediately sank his consciousness into the world of his mind and commanded, "Charles." ”
……
The long queue of men dressed in black robes stopped in front of a quaint gate made of the same obsidian material that was found everywhere here, but it was covered with the texture of a star, and in the center of the gate was a star that was now only a groove in its place. Everyone looked up at the one hundred and twenty-foot-tall door, and by the door were two skeletons, each holding an ice-blue axe, their heads hanging down, and their helmets split in two.
"This is the Frost Giant Praetorian Guard?" Dejar's voice hissed.
Anlek nodded.
"Arrived?"
"Behind this is the Spiral Hall." Kou Hua's voice replied coldly.
The duke turned his head, and the black-robed knights of the Gathering of Everything Came into his eyes, "Find a way to open this door, and the others will guard this hall." ”
He took a breath, and finally there was some stirring in his heart, the plan had finally reached the last step, and success was just around the corner. However, Enlek suddenly squinted his eyes, and noticed the walkway leading to the black hole in one direction of the meditation corridor, he glanced over there and asked, "What direction is that?" ”
The hall was silent, and no one answered him, so he turned back to the eldest daughter of Isis. The latter looked at him silently.
"Eternal Square."
"What's that?"
"I don't know." Kou Hua shook his head, as if he really didn't know.
"Don't know?"
"But I know Brother Mayne is fleeing in that direction, why, don't you believe it?" Kou Hua looked at An Leek with blood-colored eyes, and his eyes were so calm that there was not the slightest fluctuation.
Enlek frowned.
"Degar," he commanded, "you take someone over there." ”
Kou Hua didn't seem to care about the other party's orders, she turned her head and quietly looked at the obsidian door in front of her.
