Chapter 543: Twelve Trials (Part II)
When Irene opened her eyes again, she couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of her. What was in front of Irene at the moment was no longer the circular room she was in before. Instead, it was a pitch-black land, and the sky was extremely dark, and as far as the eye could see, the whole world seemed to be only black and white, and the wind blowing on the face even carried a faint pain. However, before Irene could react to what this place was, the seemingly calm shadows not far away began to writhe, and soon, with the sound of low roars one after another, strange monsters emerged from them. They looked strange, shaking like shadows, and their sharp teeth shimmered with a chilling light in their gaping mouths.........
"It seems that you are my enemies."
Smiling, Irene narrowed her eyes, and then she reached out and drew the sword at her waist. The next moment, the erupting shadow monster howled and pounced, turning into a wave of rage, and rushed towards the girl in front of him frantically. It's a scene that isn't reassuring no matter how you look at it. Layer upon layer, there were hundreds of shadow monsters rushing forward one after another, and in front of them was just a slender, delicate girl. Whoever saw this scene would probably think that in the next moment, that delicate and poor girl would be completely devoured by the monster of the shadow.
But this is not the case.
The shadow monsters coming from all directions were still menacing a moment ago, and they attacked Irene almost at the same time, in this case, even if Irene had three heads and six arms, it was absolutely impossible to stop their attack. But in just a moment, with Irene's movements, everything changed.
Face the monsters that are coming at her. Her Royal Highness the Moon Princess didn't even look at it, she just stared at the long sword in her hand that radiated a bright, beautiful moon-like brilliance, and then Irene's wrist flicked, only to see that the next moment, a circular aura suddenly spread around Irene. They didn't seem to have any momentum or attack power, but the Shadow Monsters shattered the moment they met the aura, and they didn't even have time to struggle, as if the heavy peel on the surface of an apple had been easily peeled off. I saw a flash of aura in front of me, and then those menacing shadow monsters completely collapsed, turning into a pile of worthless residues. Fragments of their bodies floated in the void, and after a moment they vanished like melting snowflakes -- but the color of the snowflakes was pure black.
After taking out the enemy with one blow, Irene didn't do it right away. Instead, she took a closer look around her, then raised her legs and headed towards a tall tower in the distance. Since there were only buildings there on the plains, it was clear that the tower was the next part of the trial.
Although Irene showed strong strength, at this moment, Rhodes and the others, who were looking at the battlefield in front of them through the magic crystal in the living room outside, showed a very depressed expression. As the presiding officer of the ceremony, Rhodes naturally had the right to watch Irene perform the ritual here. As for the others, although the dragon girl was reluctant to let too many people get involved in the ceremony. However, under Rod's strong request, they didn't say much in the end. And because of that. Only then was the group able to observe the progress of Irene's succession ceremony with Rod. Of course, it was also a relief to Rod -- at least that would distract someone from asking him awkward questions.
But now, when he saw the environment that Irene was in, Rod didn't feel very relieved.
Maybe Irene doesn't know what this place is, but for players who run around the streets of the Dragon Soul Continent and go to the house and uncover the tiles everywhere like their own home. At a glance, Rhodes recognized the place where Irene was now, which was the Shadow Canyon, one of the Seven Illusion Realms. And for people like Rhodes and Little Bubblegum, the name alone is enough to make them feel tricky.
Just as even the most popular games will have shortcomings and bugs, Dragon Soul Continent is no exception. In the Dragon Soul Continent, the most disgusting and unwilling choice for players is not the hell of bloody battles, nor the depressing underground world, nor the abyss full of insects. In the official forum leaderboard, if players were to choose "your least favorite map", Shadow Canyon would always be number one, and this ranking would not change at all from the day it was discovered by players until the end of Rhodes' opening of the Void Dragon.
The disgusting thing about the Shadow Canyon is not the income, in fact, the income of the Shadow Canyon is absolutely abundant in the Dragon Soul Continent, as an extension of the Shadow Plane, this place can almost be regarded as the place with the longest history in the Dragon Soul Continent. And because of the "Light and Shadow" feature, players can find a lot of equipment with great stats here. There are even some equipment bodies that have been destroyed in the main plane, but there are still "copies" of it in the shadow plane, and these shadow equipment not only have all the power of the main equipment, but even have special attributes that belong to the shadows. Therefore, if you start a group to kill a boss in the shadow canyon, it will definitely be purple everywhere and orange all over the sky, which is a profitable and absolutely non-losing business. And the shadow attribute is actually very targeted, as long as you bring more light attribute priests and equipment, then all shadow bosses are local chickens and dogs, all of them are paper tigers, and you can ravage how you want.
If there is anything bad about the shadow plane, then the map here is too big, and some players even think that the map of the Shadow Canyon is twice as large as the Dragon Soul Continent, so those bosses are difficult to find. On top of that, the color of the Shadow Canyon is very monotonous.
Again, the color of the shadow canyon is very monotonous.
To last reiterate, the colors of the Shadow Canyon are very monotonous.
And the player's opinion comes from this.
The plane of the Shadow Canyon has no color, and everything is divided into black and white. So after walking into the Shadow Canyon, everyone looks at the scene in front of them as if they were watching a black and white TV set in the Middle Ages. No matter what you look at, there are only two colors, and at first players feel fresh, but it doesn't take long. They feel like they're going to throw up.
That's right, the best part of life is in the colorful world. However, the Shadow Canyon is only black and white, and the Shadow Canyon map is too large, and the average team can't finish the desert for half a month and a month. As a result, many players want to vomit when they look at this monotonous world, and there are even group members who decisively quit the group because they can't stand this monotonous world. Even if the team barely passed the wasteland, one by one it was as if they had been wheeled thousands of times. Even if you come out of there, you have to rest for a long time before you can recover.
In other words, the most disgusting thing about Shadow Canyon is that it directly inflicts mental trauma on the player, and this trauma is simply irreversible. Even in the early stage of the opening of the Shadow Canyon map, many players complained on the forum that because the Shadow Canyon opened up the wilderness let them know how beautiful life is, this group of people always shouted on weekdays, "The head fell off, the big scar of the bowl", "Lao Tzu is a good man again after eighteen years", "Isn't it death?" Now that society is so boring, maybe you will be able to get out of the sea of misery if you die", and at this moment they all showed their incomparable love and respect for life. There are even people who have posted that they have ruined their lives in the past, and if they think that they will go to that kind of world after death, then they would rather enjoy the current happy time.........
In this regard, the map of Shadow Canyon is a good thing.
"I don't know if Her Highness Irene can stand it."
Little Bubblegum glanced at the scene in front of her, then hurriedly turned her head away. At the beginning, Rod's team also suffered a big blow when they opened up the Shadow Canyon, although everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering on the reputation of the first team. But after seeing that several children in the group who were too young were completely unsuitable for this kind of stimulation. Rod decisively announced that he would abandon the map of Shadow Canyon. This is also one of the few maps that the Starlight Guild has not conquered, but Rhodes is not ashamed at all - because until now, no guild in the Dragon Soul Continent has conquered the Shadow Canyon. Even Rhodes knew that there was a guild that spent money to hire someone to lead a group to Shadow Canyon for a month and a half in order to surpass Starlight, but the result was that the boss had not been killed. The people inside completely collapsed and broke out because they couldn't stand this monotonous world, and then the infighting ended. The last time Rhodes learned about them was when he heard on a forum that nearly two-thirds of the group had gone to the psychiatric department, and they had gone in groups. As for the regimental commander. Then delete the number directly and stop playing.
Because of this, at the moment of seeing the shadow canyon. Little Bubblegum and Bingxue'er had a look of disgust on their faces, and they almost turned their heads away. Even Rod himself felt a twitch in his heart, just looking at the monotonous black and white world, a disgusting feeling of wanting to vomit came to his heart.
From this point of view, Rhodes can be regarded as one of the victims of mental trauma.
"Yes, Captain. This map is disgusting. Is Her Highness Irene able to live with it? ”
Bubbles also pouted, and then spoke. But it's no wonder that Bubbles has this concern, Irene's personality is similar to Lydia's, they both love beautiful things. Then in turn, monotony like Shadow Canyon. The boring environment is simply a big killer specifically for her. Maybe Irene, who had just entered the shadow world now, hadn't reacted yet, but by the time she realized it, it was probably too late.
"The problem isn't just there, bubbles."
Hearing Bubbles' complaints, Rod couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's a shadow plane, and although Irene is a dark clan, her attribute is a very rare moon, which means that in the shadow plane without moonlight, Irene's strength can't be at the peak level."
"That's pretty bad."
Hearing this, Anne was also stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously. But soon she tilted her head in confusion and frowned.
"But why didn't Her Highness Irene turn into a dragon, she should be going to that tower now. Isn't it much faster to become a dragon than to walk? ”
In the face of Anne's inquiry, Rod did not answer immediately. He carefully observed Irene as she continued on, then raised a frown slightly.
"I don't think Ireen wants to be a dragon, it's that she can't become a dragon."
Then, Rod spoke. (To be continued......)
