Chapter 339: The Temple of Life and Death
The monsters fell to the ground, but instead of dying, they turned around and fled back into the bushes, apparently the system was set up to kill them in this scenario. Otherwise, with the attack power of Gu Qinyan and the two skills just now, these monsters would have been killed long ago. However, this setting made Xia Chiyu a little curious.
"In general, such unkillable enemies are usually used for special purposes, such as to drive the player into a specific area, or to require the player to achieve a certain goal within a time limit." Xia Chiyu pondered for a while, then turned his head and ordered: "In short, no matter which one it is, we had better hurry up and move forward, otherwise these monsters will come again in a while." ”
Gu Qinyan also nodded: "Moreover, I'm afraid that the monsters that come will get stronger and stronger." ”
"Then let's hurry up, go early and return early." Ye Ziyuan immediately replied, and everyone sped up their progress. But just as Xia Chiyu expected, the system was set to drive them somewhere. After walking for a while, the second batch of sneak attack monsters appeared, and all of them evolved from ordinary monsters to elite monsters!
"Don't kill!" Xia Chiyu stopped Gu Qinyan, who was about to make a move, and then raised his hand to release the spiritual force field to force those elite flame-toothed tigers back, and immediately attached the hurricane technique to all of them, and everyone accelerated forward.
Soon, they came to the halfway point of the mountainside, and surprisingly, on this mountainside, there was actually a peculiar temple, which looked a bit like an ancient Mayan building, a towering pyramid-like building, and a door to the central area was flashing below. When they reached the area, the Flametooth Tigers finally stopped chasing them and ambushed them.
And the name of this area is "The Temple of Life". The legendary Sanctuary of Death is just below the Sanctuary of Life, but the door to the Sanctuary of Death can only be opened after the puzzle is cleared and the mechanism is activated.
"Was it meant to guide the player to the mission area?" Xia Chiyu muttered to himself. Then he turned to Awakening, "You should know how to open the door to the Temple of Death, right?" ”
"Huh?" Su Xing's eyes widened, and he replied, "I don't know, I didn't do that task again." But I've heard that the way to open the Temple of Death is in the Temple of Life, so go find it. ”
"Well, let's split up then." Xia Chiyu said simply. Gu Qinyan immediately shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid that you will say this...... I'll just act alone, you can take care of this group of children. ”
"Okay, you two go and find it. I will wait for you at the door with them. Xia Chiyu nodded.
"You guy...... It's really going to push the boat! Su Xing said angrily.
However, the two of them took the initiative to go to find it, because it was better to move faster with a bunch of trumpets than to act alone. Although the temple looks about the size of a stadium from the outside, most of it is made up of walls and various decorations. The area of action inside is not very large. As long as it's not a particularly difficult puzzle, I believe it won't be difficult for both of them.
What's more, AO's approach to game completion has always been free, and the game's makers allow players to directly step over the puzzle solving steps and solve the problem with violence when they are strong enough.
"Mr. Fish......" At this time, a weak call sounded.
Xia Chiyu had never been called like this, and he didn't realize that he was calling him for a while, until someone pulled his robe and he came back to his senses and turned his head to look. I found that the silk foam was twisting and pinching, like a little girl.
"That. I want to ask, Gu Qin said that he ......" Si Momo laughed as she played with her sleeve.
But before he finished speaking, Xia Chiyu replied: "Well, he has a girlfriend." ”
"Oh......" Si Momo suddenly looked disappointed, Xia Chiyu sighed helplessly when he saw this: "Are all the little girls so easy to deceive these years?" Just play a game to catch a hook. ”
"Hmph, it's like a couple of your girlfriends didn't catch the bait while playing a game." Ye Ziyuan pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, Xia Chiyu was speechless, so he had to be silent, waiting for Su to wake up and Gu Qinyan to come back.
But it was quite boring to wait like this, and soon Si Momo talked to him again, roughly asking about their guild. How many people are there at the moment, how is the guild progressing, etc.
"We'll we? I used to rush the progress quite fiercely, but now...... It's been converted into a casual guild. Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Everyone usually does this to do tasks and play scripts and the like." ”
"Really? That's good, we're all lazy people, and we can't stand the activities every night. Simomo breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled sweetly: "That, can our guild be your affiliated guild?" ”
Xia Chiyu glanced at the girl, the girl was obviously not a real-name ID, so he didn't look at the game character carefully, the appearance design was similar to that of other female players, with delicate facial features and a concave and convex body.
In fact, in Xia Chiyu's opinion, all non-real-name female players look the same, but details such as hairstyle, hair color and skin color are different, so the impression that Simmo gave Xia Chiyu is "dark blue pigtails" and hazel pupils.
He thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, but I can explain in advance that the four of us don't usually bring the trumpets in the guild like this." Because we still have a lot of enemies, and we have a game recently......"
"It's okay, it's okay." Si Momo smiled bitterly and waved her hand, signaling Xia Chiyu to put it down, "We're all about to practice to level seventy, and we won't expect others to bring it." However, there are four demon kings covering, and at least no one dares to bully us when we level up. ”
Speaking of this, Simomo was stunned and asked happily: "Competition!" By the way, I saw on the forum that the Four Demon Kings had reached the quarterfinals of the Yanxia Cup, but it turned out to be true! ”
"Oh!" The players at the scene immediately sighed in unison. You must know that it is rare for professional gamers to play on the official server, because professional gamers who work in games will not play games in their leisure time......
"Your news is outdated, our family has already reached the finals. And all three events have reached the finals! Next time, our guild will go to the virtual arena together to cheer them on. Ye Ziyuan proudly hugged Xia Chiyu's shoulders and said, "At least one of these three events has won the championship of our family's fish." ”
"It's better not to overblow this kind of thing." Xia Chiyu knocked on the top of Ye Ziyuan's head. "Otherwise, wouldn't it be very shameless to be slapped in the face when the time comes?"
Ye Ziyuan stuck out his tongue and said with a mischievous smile, at this time, Su Xing and Gu Qinyan finally came back, with two stone slabs.
"This should be the way to open the Temple of Death." Gu Qinyan said. Brought up the stone slab in the inventory, put it in his hand and handed it to Xia Chiyu, waking up and holding another stone slab in his hand: "This piece is the way to cancel the Temple of Death and turn it back into the Temple of Life." The Temple of Death cannot be opened for more than four hours at a time, otherwise it will ......"
As he spoke, he woke up and checked the information on the slate, and then continued to reply: "Otherwise, you won't be able to come back." ”
"You guy, this kind ......of important information is only seen at this time," Xia Chiyu gritted his teeth and said. But then his face returned to normal, and he continued, "Then let's go to the Transformation Temple first. ”
The crowd came to the center of the temple, where there was an altar in the middle. Xia Chiyu followed the instructions on the stone slab. Place the tablet on the altar in the middle, then drop a drop of your own blood and break the tablet again.
"Boom!" A distant roar rang out, followed by a slight shaking of the entire temple. Then silence returned.
"What's going on?" Silk Momo said in a panic. Hiding behind Gu Qinyan.
But just from the appearance of the temple, when viewed with the naked eye, there is not much change. However, Xia Chiyu could feel that the air here had obviously become heavy, and he and the others came to the outside of the temple and were stunned on the spot.
They had come to another place, the mountain that had been sunk into the clouds before, and now it was surrounded by a large purple mist, and the green plants on the mountain had now turned into a kind of hideous tentacles emitting black smoke.
"It's not so much a conversion...... It's more like teleporting us to another place. Ye Ziyuan muttered to herself.
At this time. Simomo looked up, and immediately pointed to the sky and exclaimed, "Look! ”
The crowd followed her direction. The sky was like a lake, reflecting them below. It's just that the temple and the mountain reflected in the sky are the temple of life in the previous world.
Xia Chiyu looked down and saw that the purple mist had arrived at the foot of the mountain at this moment, and was slowly spreading towards the mountain. One player covered his mouth and looked disgusting: "In those fogs...... There are so many monsters! ”
After taking such a closer look, Xia Chiyu found that there were countless monsters wriggling in the purple smoke, and those monsters with hideous faces were entangled, slowly spreading towards the temple on the mountain together with the purple mist.
"That's what it means, it looks like if we wait for those purple mist to arrive at this temple, we won't be able to go back, is that what it means?" Xia Chiyu muttered to himself, and at this time, a rotting hand rose from the dirt at his feet and grabbed his ankle. A sword qi slash flew from behind, cutting off that hand, and Xia Chiyu broke free.
"Then hurry up." Gu Qinyan said lightly, pushing the Taidao back into the scabbard.
When they returned to the inside of the Sanctuary of Life, the Sanctuary of Life had been transformed into the Sanctuary of Death, and the dark red vein-like substance was crawling and spreading across the walls of the Temple, apparently a reminder of when the Temple was about to close.
"Looks like we can't go back as long as the walls over here are crawling with this substance, right?" Wake grinned, "The Temple of Death has six floors and four hours...... It seems a bit of a challenge. ”
"It seems so." Xia Chiyu said with a serious expression, "Let's leave one or two people on the altar of the temple, and when the time is almost up, we will forcibly lift the conversion of the altar of death." ”
Gu Qinyan looked outside the temple, and there were many staggering shadows shaking outside the door at this moment: "It's not that simple, it looks like there will be a monster invasion if you stay here." Is this scenario battle going down for all of us? ”
Xia Chiyu shook his head: "It's not like it." Look at both sides of the entrance to the temple. ”
Everyone followed Xia Chiyu's direction, there were many statues of various styles on both sides of the temple, and the monsters that staggered in from outside the door happened to slowly step forward along the road between these statues, giving people the feeling of some kind of tower defense game mode. However, it is not clear how these statues will be activated.
"The way to activate it should be in this temple, and the location may be the same as the position of the stone slab in the temple of life before." Xia Chiyu replied, and then pointed to the awakening, "You just stay here to defend, the stone slab that just lifted the Death Temple is also with you." ”
Xia Chiyu's idea was that if the defense tower was ineffective, waking up this guy at level ninety should be able to resist for a while. What's more, Awakening is a Dark Warlock, relying on the special effect of attack health regeneration, and the level of ninety to crush, and even survive without the help of defense towers, there is no better place for players who delay this siege mode than him.
"Then I'll stay, I like to play Plants vs. Zombies III the most." Silk Momo raised her hand at this time and volunteered.
"That's fine, you two stay here and guard the gates." Xia Chiyu said, waving his hand to the others, "The others come with me, we have to clear the Death Temple as soon as possible." ”
Immediately, the crowd walked through an extra staircase on the first floor of the Temple of Death leading to the underground, which in the Temple of Life was a staircase leading upstairs, but in the Temple of Death it was downward.
Fortunately, this scene did not deliberately embarrass the player, there were no mobs in the Temple of Death, and after they came all the way downstairs, they entered a huge circular gladiatorial arena, and in the center of the gladiatorial arena was the boss standing on this floor.
"Meaning...... Do you want to fight six bosses!? Five mini-bosses and one final boss! Ye Ziyuan asked hysterically, "This is too difficult!" There are no mobs, but ...... Blue is definitely not enough! ”
However, Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan are not worried about this, the experience in the competition uniform is not in vain, they have learned how to use the most effective combos and the least consumption to defeat the enemy's most health.
"You first?" Gu Qinyan made a gesture and bowed elegantly.
But Xia Chiyu shook his head: "If you want to go up, you can go up, I'll condense the elements, and I'll come to the second layer." ”
"Let's go together, the boss with eleven people's blood, even if they are level ninety, it's too reluctant to go head-to-head. Take 10,000 steps back, even if they can defeat it, it's not blue, right? A player in the Silk Momo Guild asked.
But Ye Ziyuan smiled proudly: "I thought the same way when I first met them before. (To be continued......)
