CH.246 Void Fire and Sword Spirit
The two of them walked into the room one after another, as if they were in the mouth of a giant dragon, and the surrounding area was thick and dark, and at first the door could bring in a little light, but the stone door was quickly closed, blocking all the light.
There was only pure darkness left in Tangk's vision, without a trace of light, and he could only judge Dardarian not far away by his breath and heat.
"It's coming, you have to be careful not to get killed." Dadarian said excitedly, only death and high danger could provoke this emotion in him, and he pulled out the little fox maru sword, and the blade rubbed against the scabbard with a piercing sound, like the grinding of the teeth of a beast.
"What's coming?" Donk asked nervously, drawing his sword as well. He remembered in his mind the scene when Dadarian and the Sword Shadow Enchantment were fighting, and Dadarian could treat that kind of thing as fun, and if someone like this was dangerous, it must be very dangerous.
"Fire." Dadarian spat softly.
In fact, even if Dadarian didn't explain it, Donk himself saw it.
"Bump."
A flame burst out of the darkness, like a ghost fire, floating in mid-air, only the size of a fist, and the fire was very steady.
To Tang Ke's surprise, the flames did not reveal the attacker's surname, but only floated there in a very stable manner.
"Bump."
There was another burst of sound, and a second fire was lit, exactly like the previous one.
"There will be more and more of this 'virtual fire', and with just a light touch, the 'virtual fire' will disappear, just like this." Dadarian made a demonstration, drawing an arc with his sword to extinguish the void fire in mid-air.
Tang Ke drew a scoop according to the gourd, and stabbed out the void fire in front of him, and at the same time, two more void flames lit up together. He found that the false fire, as its name suggests, was different from the real flame, very weak, extinguished at the touch of a button, and had so little light and heat that it could not even illuminate the darkness of the room.
"The rate at which the Void Flames increase faster and faster, and once there are more than ten Void Flames in the house, it will attract punishment." While daddarian explained, he slashed out three false fires in a row.
"Punishment? What punishment? Donk chuckled inwardly.
"This false fire will turn into real fire, and it will turn into a pillar of fire and shoot at the people in the room, powerful enough to penetrate the human body. If you are pierced by real fire, you will die. Dadarian chuckled, "Be careful when you walk, don't trip over the bones on the ground, there were several unlucky guys who were pierced by real fire when they were cultivating here in the past, and then died in the house." ”
Tang Ke was not afraid, and actively used his sword to extinguish more and more Void Fire, and he took the time to ask, "Are there any other rules?" ”
"There are no rules, it's actually as simple as that, this is for honing our speed and accuracy, and now the two of us can still make small talk, but after a while, the two of us will have to be busy. In addition, the more people who come in, the stronger the strength, and the more virtual fires will appear in the house. Also, there is an intermittent attack of this void fire, as if it is round after round, and after surviving a round, the void fire will stop appearing, and then you can leave here freely. ”
"Bump, bump, bump, bump......"
By the time Dardarian said this, the speed at which the Void Fire appeared had become very rapid, like a continuous burst of firecrackers.
Knowing all the rules, Donk made up his mind and calmly attacked the false fire that appeared in the house, dancing his sword with great vigor. There is no pattern in the place where these false fires appear, there are high and low, right front and right back. If you want to extinguish the false fire at the first time, you have to pay full attention and judge the direction of the false fire by hearing. In this process, movement, speed, coordination, concentration and hearing are tested.
As long as there are ten false fires, punishment will be triggered, and this condition is still very harsh. So this invisibly increases the tension and makes people dare not slack off.
For the first round of false fires, the two of them dealt with it quite easily, and the number of false fires in the house was only five at most at a time. The attack of the Void Fire reached the stage of pause, and the room fell into a dead silence. These two people have strong physical strength, and after surviving the first round of difficulties, they are still not red and breathless.
Tang Ke saw that Dadarian had no intention of going out, and decided to accompany Dadarian to play in this room, although this room was just a simple cultivation room, but he had just come into contact with this magical place, and he thought it was very interesting.
The second round of false fire came quickly, appearing all over the room without warning, and it appeared more frequently from the beginning than the first, but this was also expected.
The appearance of the virtual fire made the two people in the room very busy, and the two of them ran and jumped in the house, and the swords in their hands kept waving all the time. Since it doesn't take much effort to extinguish the Void Fire, the two of them just need to blindly pursue speed and accuracy.
Tang Ke used a curved horizontal slash to extinguish the two virtual flames in his chest, relying on his ability to listen to the sound and defend the position, judging that there was another false fire behind him, he turned his head slightly, looked at the location of the virtual fire, put the scimitar behind his back, stabbed it over, and extinguished the false fire. Then, a false fire erupted above his head. He leaped to his feet, stabbed upward, and extinguished the void fire above his head. When he fell to the ground, four flames erupted around him at the same time!
If it weren't for the fact that he had been through a hundred battles and reacted quickly, he would have to be dizzy by these random false fires.
At this moment, Daddarion, who was in front of him, suddenly turned around and stabbed Donk in the neck. Donk couldn't dodge it, and broke out in a cold sweat. However, Kitsune-maru's sharp blade did not hurt Tang Ke, but just swept along Tang Ke's neck and stabbed out a void fire.
Dardarian's voice floated out of the darkness: "If the two of us want to cooperate tacitly, we must believe in each other, my sword will not cut at you, but only at my enemies." ”
This is a beast expressing its heart to another beast, longing for an alliance, and together with its fangs and sharp teeth, it will tear through the cage that envelops the sea of clouds.
Donk suddenly felt that his choice to side with Dadarian was not a gamble, but an inevitability. He smiled in the darkness and said, "Well, I promise you that my sword will never strike you, whenever, wherever!" ”
"That's it!" Daddarian took the knife back.
Later, when dealing with the false fires in the house, the distance between Donk and Daddarian was much closer, and in the middle of a move, sometimes the sword brushed against the other's side. It was dangerous to do so even in a well-lit place, let alone in the darkness, where the movements of the two were dangerous.
The two of them have survived the end of the fourth round of virtual fire, and the difficulty of each round has increased step by step, and by the time of the fourth round, the two have already had to show eighty percent of their strength to deal with it. In this process, as many as nine void fires appeared at a time, but the next moment, they were all extinguished by the two of them with the momentum of a violent storm.
"It's okay to survive a few more rounds, but let's go upstairs first." Dadarian put away Kitsunemaru and walked towards the stone gate when the virtual fire stopped attacking. The stone door opened automatically, and the light from outside shone in.
When Tang Ke came out of the cultivation room, his breathing was already a little short, and after the test just now, his physical strength had also been consumed by nearly one-fifth.
There is still a guardian spirit at the entrance of the main hall on the third floor, and the armor he wears is completely different from the guardian spirit on the two floors downstairs, which is even more powerful, and the sword in his hand is also quite extraordinary. As the level increases, not only will the power of the guardian spirit increase, but the level of the showroom and library will also be greatly improved.
The guardian spirits of this layer have the strength of a third-order swordsman, but they are much stronger than the usual third-order swordsman. After a fierce battle, it took a lot of physical strength to defeat the guardian spirit, and he was injured in two places. He estimated that if he was still at the stage of a third-order swordsman, it would be quite dangerous to fight this guardian spirit. From this point of view, he will definitely fall into a bitter battle when facing the guardian spirits of the fourth layer. It is impossible to accomplish this important task today, neither physical strength nor physical condition allows.
Dadarian glanced at Donk a few times and found the same problem, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems impossible to let you break through the fourth floor today, so let's stop here." However, the three-story showroom is okay, and it's not bad for you to find a high-quality sword to use. ”
"It's really good, even if you don't use it, you can make a small profit by taking it out and selling it." Donk said casually.
"If it's broken copper, it's okay to sell it, but if you come across a blade that can connect with your heart, it's better to stay." Dadarian shows that he loves knives like his life.
Donk stepped into the showroom on this level, the size and material of the room was the same as the two floors below, but the most important sword inside was noticeably better. The swords placed here are all high-quality. Although they are all of the same level, there is still a certain gap in quality, and if it is the top-level high-grade blade, it even has a little spirit surname.
Some blades have a spirit surname, which is not innate, and needs to be cultivated slowly with acquired use. The help of the Ling surname for the blade is mysterious and mysterious, such a blade seems to have thoughts, which can greatly increase the strength and hardness of the blade. Some blades with particularly strong spirit surnames can even derive some special abilities. However, in the showroom on the third floor, there will definitely not be such a high-level blade, and it would be good to have a blade with a little spiritual surname.
As a swordsman, Tang Ke has known about these for a long time, but the blades he exchanged from the system have not yet met a single one with a spirit surname.
Donk walked inside, passing by dozens of blades, the number of blades here was much smaller than the next two floors. It seems that the more advanced the blade, the less inventory there is in the tower. However, the number of these blades is also very staggering. Although he hadn't seen that tenth-order swordsman three thousand years ago, he had already felt the strength of the other party. The other party has obviously been dead for so long, but the treasures left behind are still showing grace to future generations.
He was full of emotion and shuttled around the sword, and when he passed by a thin sword, he suddenly heard a rustling sound, as if someone was whispering something. He sighed, followed the sound, and found that the source of the sound was this thin sword.
The sword is silvery-white and very small, with a rose carving on the hilt. If you look closely, the sword is shaking on its own, but the amplitude is very subtle.
Could it be that you have touched a sword with a spirit surname? Tang Ke reached out to grasp the sword expectantly, held his hand on the hilt, and jerked twice, only to have the sword stuck in the ground, not moving. At first, he thought that he was not strong enough, so he strengthened himself a little, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not draw the sword.
Seeing the situation here, Dadarian interjected, "If it is a blade without a spirit surname, you can pull it out at will." But if there is a blade with a spirit surname, it will pick its master, and if it doesn't choose you, no matter how much you pull it out, it won't be able to pull it out. ”
Tang Ke couldn't help but be disappointed, and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, I finally found such a good sword with a spirit surname, but I couldn't take it away, it's a pity." However, this slim sword is suitable for women, and it is really not suitable for me to hold it. ”
Dadarian waved his hand and said, "Don't be discouraged, it's nothing. After reaching the fourth layer, there are a lot of blades with the surname of Spirit, and they can be seen almost everywhere, and there will always be a few that will smell the same as you. ”
"When you say that, my interest in the upper two floors is even stronger." Donk looked at him excitedly. He guessed that if he got a blade on it, it might be of better quality than the system exchange, and he would save bonus points.
"If it weren't for the fact that Yunhai is a big birdcage, I would have loved this place. There are endless swordsmanship to learn, all kinds of swords, and cultivation sites with different functions, which is simply a dream place for swordsmen. But if you can't show your strength, what can you do even if you have no skills? So I'd rather give up here, spread my wings and fly high, I must break this cage and fly to the outside world! Dadarian's words were not so much for Donk as for his heart. His words, no one in this Caiyun Village will listen to them at all.
Tang Ke listened silently, and casually pulled out an ordinary high-grade short sword, this time without encountering any obstacles. He walked to the door, turned to Dadarian and said, "That's it for today. Let's get out of the tower first, feel free where you want to go, I'll go back to my ship and explain. Starting tomorrow, the two of us will officially start cultivating, and once my physical condition is a little better, I will go to defeat the fourth-layer sword spirit and go to the fourth-layer to get my sword! ”
"Well, everything starts officially tomorrow, you and I will work together to get out of here." Dadarian's eyes narrowed, and his eyes showed determination.
