"Master Mage is really powerful, that spell actually has such high damage." As the group continued to walk upstairs, Lacey said with a smile. Xia Chiyu sighed and said, "It's okay, the consumption is also very large." And it's a judgment spell, if you don't hit the first hit, you won't do any damage at all, so this damage is normal. ”

"By the way, why do you have so many forbidden spells for eating fish, won't you waste the skill bar?" Liu Yiyu asked puzzledly, "I don't have enough skills now." ”

These words also aroused other people's questions, and Zhang Zinuo also echoed: "That's right, you really have too many skills." Just the series of three flashes of light and six stars breaking through the sky to the twelve-star beast king, this accounts for a lot of skill columns, right? ”

"Yes, yes! I've always wanted to ask, why do you have so many skills in eating fish? Xiao You also immediately agreed, and obviously everyone in the team had the same questions, and everyone's attention was focused on Xia Chiyu.

Xia Chiyu was stunned, and then smiled: "Actually, it's like this, it's similar to my elemental fusion theorem." The series you are talking about is actually a series of skills, but the level is just high. For example, the three flashes of light, the six stars break the sky, and the nine rays of the sky are all the same series of skills, from three to six to nine to twelve, and the eighty-eight stars of the all-day zodiac are its final versions. Each level has a set of skills in the series: support, attack, and defense. ”

"The advantage of this design is that it can save the skill column, and only count it according to attack, control and defense, accounting for three skill columns; The disadvantage is that there must be a very high level of proficiency, otherwise the skill can easily be released and failed. Because there are many similarities in the series of skills, including actions and special effects, it makes it much more difficult for players to reproduce skills in their minds, and if they are confused, the skill release will fail. This requires the player to have a very clear representation of their skills in their minds. ”

"Most of my skills can be said to be the effects of this series of skills, including the Elemental Fusion Theorem, which also relies on Elemental Fusion 'Attack', Elemental Fusion 'Defense' and Elemental Fusion 'Support' to account for three skill columns."

"As for the forbidden spell you mentioned, it's pretty much the same, it's another special effect of my Five Spirit Wheels." Elemental Drawing Plate', as long as I can provide a few elements necessary for a forbidden spell, I can release the forbidden spell, which also only occupies the three skill slots of attack, defense, and support. ”

"The difficulty of Master Mage's skill tree is so high, won't the skill release fail frequently?" Lacey asked, puzzled.

Everyone in the room who has played AO will know how difficult it is to design it this way to unleash skills. First of all, the fish eats that the series of skills have too many similarities in special effects and actions, and it is easy to confuse.

Secondly, Xia Chiyu's elemental painting plate is basically a random mix of elements to reproduce the existing forbidden spells. In other words, there is no definite image when the skill is released, which makes it easier to fail.

In the end, Xia Chiyu has too many similar settings, which makes his skills about twice as good as an ordinary player, if there is no clear idea, there is often a question of "which skill to choose" when fighting, and as long as there is a hesitation, the battle situation will be reversed in an instant.

"I didn't fail very much because I found that I had a good 3D reproduction ability. Each of my skills has a very clear picture in my mind. Xia Chiyu replied, "There have been cases where I don't know which skill to use and have been knocked over, but it's good after I become proficient, I have always been this set of basic skill trees." It has never changed. ”

"Sure enough, eating fish is also an excellent thing to get to where we are today." Lin Qianxue smiled and patted Xia Chiyu's head.

The crowd continued to walk upstairs. As before, after beating the boss, the upper layers are basically scattered mobs, but the monster attributes have been improved. It's just a more advanced class.

Although Xia Chiyu withdrew from the battle, Liu Yiyu and the others could deal with this kind of monster by themselves.

It wasn't until they reached the twelfth floor that the scene on this level was different from any of the previous floors. The library on this floor was very tidy, and although the scrolls were covered in a thick layer of dust from the long time they had not been cleaned, they were neatly placed on the bookcases, and it seemed that they had not been destroyed by anyone, nor were they guarded by the Ancient Kings or any of the revenant soldiers.

"Be careful, this should be the last layer, the final boss battle." Xia Chiyu reminded, "Don't scatter, act together, take a look around here, judging from the previous battle, it may still be some kind of trigger-type boss." ”

Everyone then looked around the library on this floor, and some differences were that in addition to various books, there were also tables with real instruments such as beakers and Erlenmeyer flasks, and there were also some parchments with strange magic circles drawn on the side, as if some special real yàn was being carried out here before it was invaded.

Xia Chiyu vaguely remembered where he had seen a certain magic array painted on the desk, but he couldn't remember the specifics for a while. At this time, Zhang Zinuo said curiously: "The books and scrolls here are all intact, why didn't the soldiers below touch the books on this floor?" It's weird. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Zinuo curiously reached out to get a book on the bookcase, Xia Chiyu was thinking about whether to stop her, because even if he wanted to, it would be too late. At the moment when Zhang Zinuo pulled out the book from the bookcase, a burst of white smoke suddenly erupted from a bottle on the table, enveloping them as if they were alive.

Before the scenery in front of him disappeared, Xia Chiyu saw clearly that inside the bottle on the table, there was a black mist, and in that black mist, a somewhat strange and cold eye flashed.

After about a few minutes, they woke up one after another, and Xia Chiyu opened his eyes to find that they had already arrived in another place. Again and again, the old and ruined tower, lying on a wetland outside the city walls, surrounded by mist, and the extent of the city was quite extensive, and it seemed to be alive and prosperous.

Xia Chiyu got up and looked around, everyone was there, everyone was full of blood, and there were no casualties.

"How did this come to this place?" Lacey asked confusedly, "Did you fall for some teleportation magic?" Or is it some kind of illusion that is trying to trap us in this labyrinth? ”

"It's not supposed to be that maze mechanic, but it's meant to trap us here." Xia Chiyu looked around and asked, "I guess it should be the mechanism that was triggered when Zi Nuo took that book, and this mechanism is probably also a mechanism to protect the library." ”

"Huh? Sorry. Everyone......" Zhang Zinuo said with some guilt as he covered his mouth.

"It's okay, that's how this copy is set up." Xia Chiyu patted her brain and comforted, "I don't think this copy will allow us to go to the top floor without fighting the boss, so even if you don't trigger it, you must take the initiative to trigger it, and defeat this boss to go to the next layer, and I estimate that the lower layer is also the last layer." ”

"So, what kind of place is this?" Li Feifei asked with some fear, "I always feel that the atmosphere here is ......."

Indeed, the atmosphere here is very uncomfortable. Although it looks like the ordinary world is unmistakable. But the sky felt gray, a little breathless, as if some spirit was wrapped around them, and the steps were particularly heavy. Xia Chiyu looked up and sighed, "This should be the world in a bottle." ”

"A world in a bottle?" Everyone asked in unison, and Liu Yiyu asked, "What is the world in a bottle?" ”

"The world in the bottle is the world in the bottle, in fact, it is the virtual world created by the demon in the bottle. The devil in the bottle, the villain in the flask, there are many sayings. Xia Chiyu explained. Before, I saw some strange magic circles on the table, and I could basically determine that they were the refining arrays in alchemy, but they were forbidden refining at a deeper level than the human body. What is refined should be the kind of demon in the bottle. ”

"Ordinary human refining is usually an artificial human created from alchemical materials, and the maker needs to stuff a part of his soul into it. Otherwise it's just an unconscious walking dead. And this forbidden refining is refined in a deeper way, without the soul of the person who created the zào, but ...... Something else brought consciousness to this body. ”

"High-level demons. Using the villain in the bottle as a medium and a door to observe and influence the world is what people commonly call the demon in the bottle. Xia Chiyu explained. Anyway, let's go to the city and have a look. ”

So they reorganized themselves and went into the city.

However, contrary to this gloom and dreary, life in the city is very lively and bustling, with people coming and going on the streets, doing business, soldiers patrolling the streets, and children running around in groups, just like a normal city. People live in abundance, seemingly carefree, without disease, without war, without hunger, and yet strangely enough, that's exactly what happened.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the soldier who invaded this tower." Xia Chiyu explained: "Most of the people here are white-skinned and gray-haired, and they are exactly the same race as one of the three empires that are said to have attacked here. But that's certainly not the way it is here, and demons are always good at confusing humans. ”

Xia Chiyu said, walking towards the interior of the city: "Let's go, let's see what clues there are here." ”

After seeing them, most of the local situation expressed their welcome, and announced that they would hold a banquet to welcome their arrival or something, but since these residents were just NPCs, Xia Chiyu and the others ignored them for the time being.

Xia Chiyu and the others split up and walked around the city, looking for available clues or unknown details, hoping to find a way to get out of here, and after a while, Xia Chiyu had a clue.

"This symbol ......" Xia Chiyu frowned as he looked at a not-so-obvious spell on the street floor, and Zhang Zinuo said, "What's wrong, this charm?" Is there any special significance? ”

"Exactly like I've seen outside the tower, I guess it's a charm similar to a portkey." Xia Chiyu replied, and then took Zhang Zinuo and Lin Qianxue to find this charm.

This spell is the same as the one outside the door, and when the corresponding elements are condensed, it will light up and trigger the next spell. Xia Chiyu and the three of them followed the spell all the way, and then came to the edge of a somewhat dilapidated building.

What is more peculiar is that in the whole city, only this one building has a hole in the corner, and the edge of this hole is covered with a purple curtain. Xia Chiyu lifted the purple curtain and walked in, there was only one pillar inside, and there was a shining crystal ball on the pillar.

"This thing ......" Xia Chiyu said, stretched out his hand to touch the crystal ball, and the system immediately prompted.

"Obtain, the True Eye Crystal Ball ......" Xia Chiyu muttered to himself, but nothing had changed except for this hint, he looked at Zhang Zinuo and Lin Qianxue with some puzzlement, and they were not affected.

"This is ...... in your hand" Zhang Zinuo reached out and held Xia Chiyu's hand with blue light, and the light was also transmitted to Zhang Zinuo's hand, but there was still no obvious change.

"Anyway, let's go out and have a look." Xia Chiyu frowned, lifted the pitch-black curtain and walked out, "This thing is called the True Eye, maybe it can see something we couldn't see before." ”

However, when they came back to the street, Xia Chiyu and Zhang Zinuo's faces suddenly changed, and Lin Qianxue asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?" How do you feel like you're seeing a ghost? ”

"Poor, almost......" Xia Chiyu frowned and said with a pale face, then reached out and held Lin Qianxue's little hand, "Just look at it yourself." ”

The blue light spread from Xia Chiyu's hand to Lin Qianxue's hand, and in the last moment, the residents on the street who were singing and dancing turned into rotting walking corpses, and the bustling streets became dilapidated in an instant.

The men seemed to be long dead, their bodies were mostly decomposed, some of them were reduced to a pair of bones, the wine in their glasses had turned into stinking water crawling with maggots, and the food had turned into hideous pieces of black flesh.

However, not all of the inhabitants are such half-rotten people, some have turned into demons of various forms, some are red-skinned and bat-winged demons, and some are scythe-wielding ghosts.

"Really...... It's disgusting......" Lin Qianxue covered her mouth and grumbled, as a group of half-rotten children ran in front of her, one of them hanging on the ground with his intestines dragging and dragging his brains out from under his skull.

However, if you look closely, you can see that a blood-red mist floats out of the bodies of these people who have rotted away, slowly drifting away not far away. Xia Chiyu said: "This blood line must lead to the location of the final boss...... Let's go, let's go meet the others, and then get ready to fight the boss. (To be continued......)
