Chapter Forty-Six: The Soul of the Red Sky
The eighth floor of the ancient tomb is a long, narrow and dimly winding passage, and the passage is full of dense elite monster necromantic spirits, these white necromantic souls are holding black sharp scythes, and the whole body is translucent, as if there is no real body, and they have a high resistance to physical attacks.
Looking at the group of monsters in front of him that looked like an ant's nest, Ye Zhen's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, there were too many necromantic souls in front of him, and the damage caused by physical attacks to them was extremely limited, even if his output was high, it would be difficult to clear a way.
"Well, I'll just say I can't take them with me." The ninth's eyes narrowed slightly. "The widest part of the passage in front of me from beginning to end will not exceed three meters, even if the assassin starts to sneak, it will definitely be perceived by the monster, and the only way to rush in is to fight for speed."
In the game, any monster has a perceptual caste, and the perception of undead monsters is much stronger than that of ordinary monsters, and in the passages full of such monsters, stealth is not effective at all.
Hearing this, Ye Zhen suddenly looked at the curved passage with no end in sight, and in the dark and silent passage, only countless white souls were wandering, and the number was shocking.
"Brother Traceless, you two can go to the ninth floor, don't worry about us." After thinking for a moment, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Ye Zhen. "It's good that the three of us farm monsters at the door of the eighth floor, there is nothing strange at this door, you can pull them over one by one, if you can't resist it, we can retreat to the seventh floor, there will be no danger."
"I agree with Sisi, too." Glancing at Ye Ke beside him, the peach blossoms who had never spoken finally expressed their opinions.
Now, even if Ye Ke is unwilling, he has to nod his head, "Brother, go ahead, we will come back at the gate of the eighth floor." β
"Okay, pay attention to yourself, and notify you in the team channel if you have anything." Ye Zhen bowed slightly, then raised his eyebrows, and gestured to the nintets, "You first or me first?" β
"Of course it's me first, you just follow my route behind."
As soon as the arrogant words fell, the Ninth Concerto's figure flashed, and it shot out like a gray arrow off the string, and the gray figure instantly burrowed into the white group of revenant monsters, which was extremely conspicuous.
Seeing this, Ye Zhen's mind suddenly appeared with the picture of competing with this guy in the goblin lair, and without the slightest hesitation, he moved his steps, and followed with a narrow smile on the corner of his mouth.
Behind them, the three girls looked at the two backs that looked like dragons in the piles of white souls, and couldn't react for a long time.
In the tortuous and gloomy passage, two afterimages, one gray and one black, passed by the white souls of the dead, maintaining a distance of about three meters between the front and back.
"Night boy, work hard, I haven't used all my strength yet, don't lose it, quack." The Ninth dodged the attacks of the revenants with ease, and from time to time spoke to the dark shadows behind them.
Hearing this, he had just come out of the phantom scythe of the three necromantic souls, and his footsteps were like leaf marks like a gust of wind, and he smiled noncommittally, "Yes, you can try it." β
"Then you have to be careful!"
Hearing Ye Zhen's disapproving words, the ninth duet's eyes flashed, and the speed under his feet increased sharply, and he immediately pulled his movement speed to ninety percent, and in an instant, he was far away from the black shadow behind him, and even the undead who passed by him had no time to raise their scythes, and he had already run away.
"This guy's agility is high again." Seeing this, Ye Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately tiptoed a little, leaving a faint black shadow in the air.
The whistling air brought out by the wild rush blew on the cloth robes of the two of them, and suddenly there was a hunting sound.
In the midst of the rapid rush, to the surprise of the ninth, when he occasionally glanced back, he found that Ye Zhen had come three meters behind him at some point, and no matter how hard he tried to rush forward, he couldn't shake off the black shadow that bit him like a poisonous snake.
This discovery made the ninth almost spurt blood, once he always thought that the only person in the game who could compete with his super speed was the black funeral of the god thorn, but some time ago in the goblin lair he actually lost to a little-known maple leaf, originally this was forgotten, but today, he was deflated in front of this guy called Night Traceless, which couldn't help but make this famous treasure chest hunter a little annoyed.
Just as the Ninth was still itching with hatred, the dark passage ahead narrowed dramatically, from three meters wide to less than two meters, and it twisted and turned, and there were almost three scythe-wielding necromantic souls wandering in each row of the tight passage, and there were almost no gaps.
It is precisely because the passage is too narrow, and the refresh speed of the revenant soul is extremely fast, so at the beginning, the core group of the Guild led by Yi Jiangnan personally tried the law, and they could only go deep here, and they returned in vain.
However, the Ninth Concert, which had already returned once, was not surprised, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Boy, after passing here, there is the entrance to the ninth floor, hehe, I won't play with you, the speed of the shadow dance!" β
As the playful voice of the Ninth sounded, his entire figure became blurred, and he could no longer see his face and size, as if he had become a phantom with no physical body, like a ghost burrowing into a narrow passage where there were almost no gaps.
"Acceleration skills?" Staring at the strange image in front of him, Ye Scar muttered thoughtfully, since he had replaced the Golden Boots with the Swift Walk stunt for the Flamethrower Boots, he had long since lost the ability to increase his movement speed.
However, although he doesn't have an acceleration skill, he has a rare acceleration potion, and it is a medium-level wind potion.
Facing the narrow passage in front of him that only sideways can pass, Ye Zhen didn't dare to hold it up, and as a bottle of blue mid-level wind elixir was poured down, his movement speed instantly increased by 20%, although it was still a little worse than the effect of the acceleration skill, and he didn't dare to do this, it was enough for him.
Running in the tight passage full of dead souls, the two figures were like the super-surnamed racing cars that were constantly drifting, and their bodies crossed elegant and gorgeous arcs in the air, completing one difficult action after another in a sideways flying posture.
Smack!
As the two of them paced, one black scythe slashed down harder, but they all landed on the afterimage without any doubt, failing to do them the slightest damage.
Soon, when the Ninth was the first to come to the familiar entrance that glowed with a dazzling red light, he snickered back behind him, as if to see how far the guy behind him had been left behind, and whether he had accidentally been surrounded by the fierce undead.
However, he was soon disappointed again, and the unhurried black shadow took a broken step, and followed him three meters behind, as if he was strolling leisurely, without even taking a breath.
"I'm rubbing, why are you keeping up again, you can't shake it off, you can't get rid of it, are you annoying." Enraged, the ninth rushed to the entrance of the cave and suddenly turned around and shouted angrily.
"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't enter, I'll be in advance, and Lao Tzu will be followed by at least a few thousand monsters."
Ye Scar said, and his body circled into the hole that lingered in the red light, and then appeared in front of the Ninth Ensemble thousands of white souls armed with giant scythes, screaming and killing him.
"I'll rub, wait for meβ"
As soon as he entered the ninth floor of the legendary ancient tomb, Ye Zhen was frightened by the terrifying picture in front of him, not so much that this was an ancient tomb, but that it was a shocking sea of blood.
I saw that the entire ninth floor was like a fiery red circular altar, and the inside was filled with a shocking red liquid, like blood but not blood, like molten but not as thick as molten slurry.
Wow~ The rolling waves of blood evaporated into a diffuse heat, and everywhere the eye looked, there was no other color except for the strange red.
In the very center of the sea of blood, there was a fiery red island with a diameter of four or five meters wide, and above the mist-shrouded island, there seemed to be a faint rainbow of light, lying across the hazy steam.
"The treasure chest is on the island in the middle, there is a hot iron chain bridge in front of it that can be accessed, I went in yesterday to confirm, there is also a lord-level monster called Chixiao Fire Soul on the island, the key is hung on its flame sword spike, but this monster is covered in flames, as long as the player gets close to it within 5 meters, it will lose blood, and Qiang Yin has almost no effect on it."
Seeing that Ye Zhen was watching intently, the experienced ninthet explained thoughtfully.
"Blood will fall within 5 meters?" Hearing this, Ye Zhen couldn't help frowning slightly, if this was the case, even the Flying Snow Talisman would not have any effect. After all, the Flying Snow Talisman is only immune to natural weather and environment, but the special surname on the monster is not immune to it.
Talking to himself, Ye Zhen couldn't help but take a few steps forward, and came to the edge of the hot land, just as the Ninth said, there was indeed a hot and red metal bridge under his feet, leading to the isolated island in the sea of blood.
Looking up at the mist-shrouded island, the heat rising from the sea of blood was so thick that the leaf marks could see nothing but a few faint rays of colorful light.
Thinking about it, Ye Zhen suddenly activated the Bright Eyes skill, and then a flickering light immediately appeared in his eyes, and then the scene on the isolated island appeared in his sight.
I saw a fiery red humanoid monster with a height of three or four meters condensed by flames standing on the isolated island, holding a one-handed sword surrounded by flames, and on the fiery sword spike, a metal key that emitted a colorful glow was entangled, which was the legendary treasure chest key.
Looking down the colorful key, I saw a treasure chest that also emitted various colors of light was lying quietly on the dry ground with several cracks, no matter how much the boiling hot molten slurry below swelled, it could not melt a single cent.
