Chapter 553: Dark Arena (I)
After the light flashed, Rhodes found himself again in a changed environment. The former Crystal Forest is gone, replaced by a massive, Colosseum-like structure. It's just that you can't see half a person in the audience on both sides, and when you look up, you can only see the dark clouds that are overwhelmed by black pressure, and from time to time there are thunder and lightning bursts from it, which looks like a dark cloud is pressing.
What's going on?
Rhodes looked around, but he didn't see his opponent, it looked like it should be an arena, shouldn't he find someone to fight him? Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but be a little curious, he went back and forth in the arena, but he still didn't see any monster sounds, and no boss appeared. Only the torches planted around the arena kept swinging under the howling wind, bringing a shadow to the otherwise dark arena.
Still no one...............
Rhodes went around the arena again, but there was still nothing, this arena was only the size of half a football field, if it was not small, it looked dilapidated, it was completely not as grand as when Rhodes participated in the Midsummer Festival in the Golden City, and there was not even a spectator around, which also made Rhodes look a little interested.
"Looks like the next step is infighting........."
Rod also muttered to himself in his heart, this kind of arena is often seen in games, generally speaking, if there is no boss monster after entering the arena, then it is most likely PK between players. According to the fact that this trial has not been the most insidious and only the most insidious means from the beginning to the present, it is estimated that it will be the same this time, gather all the people who have passed the dragon soul trial, and then have a big brawl, and the winner will be eligible to inherit the dragon soul. Come to think of it. Rod couldn't help but pout, this dark dragon's dragon soul inheritance ceremony is really disgusting enough, but......... Will this trick be used in the normal dragon soul inheritance ceremony? Even if the Night Nation is strong, their dragon soul inheritors can't be like cabbage all over the streets, like Ion and Irene, the two brothers and sisters are too many to choose from, where can they find so many dragon soul inheritors to fight together on weekdays?
Could it be that there is anything new in this setting? Or wait until all the challengers are there before starting the final trial? Isn't that scientific......... There can only be one Dragon Soul Inheritor. Is this intended to let them kill each other here until the last? If you really want to talk about it, this setting is really disgusting enough.
"Whew!!"
Just as Rod was thinking, a white light suddenly flashed, and then a person appeared in front of Rode.
"Ah, Captain!"
"Annie?"
Seeing Annie's appearance, Rod was stunned, no wonder, although he didn't guess that only people who had passed the previous round of trials would be able to come here, but seeing Annie would be the second to arrive also made Rod quite surprised. Because in Rod's impression, Anne is actually the most unsuitable to participate in this kind of trial -- look at the completely brainless speech that Anne said during the trial in Irene, I don't know how long it will take her to pass the trial.
Because of this, Rod didn't expect that Annie would pass the trial after him, and he couldn't help but ask Annie curiously, and for Rode's inquiry, Annie naturally didn't have anything to hide, and told Rod about his experience with great interest. It turned out that Anne was teleported to the Shadow Canyon. Thrown into a huge labyrinthine garden, Anne was just right. At first glance, she saw that it was a labyrinth, and then she found the exit, and then she found a pool in the center of the labyrinth, and then Anne saw that there was a beautiful crystal on the statue in the middle of the pool, so she jumped into the pond to get it, and without saying a word, she teleported here.
This luck ...............
After listening to Anne's story. Rhodes didn't know what to say, and he knew the Shadow Garden, which was part of the largest complex in the Shadow Canyon, Gesolrenster Manor. This is also an important quest line in the Shadow Canyon, and it is rumored that the owner of that manor is the actual ruler of this Shadow Canyon, and this kind of big boss must be something that players want to brush. But not until Rhodes left the game. No player will be able to break through the shadow garden at the front, because it is so disgusting there, the maze of the shadow garden does not seem complicated, but the problem is that they will change with the change of shadows, and worse, these changes are completely random, there is no pattern at all, plus there are many ghost monsters wandering in the shadow maze, and the maze itself is a narrow place. Once it is blocked by monsters, it is all the ground in the front and back, left and right. On the player's side, facing a passage that can only be used for three people to move side by side, they can't even use a formation, and the result is the end of the team annihilation.
If he had known that Anne had been teleported to that disgusting place, Rhodes would have "gadden" in his heart and start worrying about Anne. He knows the little guy too well, his actions are all based on intuition, and he basically doesn't use his brains except for fighting, such a person is sent in, it is not nine deaths and one life, it is completely the rhythm of ten deaths and no life. But Rhodes didn't expect that Annie's instincts and luck were really strong enough to break through the sky, and she could even escape if she was teleported to that kind of ghost place......... This really left her speechless.
She can't be a dragon soul inheritor too.........
Looking at Anne, who was dancing excitedly in front of him, pointing fingers and telling about his experience, Rod couldn't help but have such an idea. To be honest, he was also a little curious about what would have become of Anne if it was in the game. Most of Rhodes can guess the ending of other people, after all, although history has its limitations, it also has its inevitability. For example, Marlene's identity is destined to be targeted and used in intrigues, and introverted and weak people like Labis and Lijie naturally cannot shine in that fierce environment. However, Anne is different, although she has followed Rhodes all the way, Anne's strength is basically completely improved by herself, even if she does not have the power of the wind element to awaken, she is also a strong shield warrior. And Anne is sweet and excellent, tall and moving, and has a cheerful and lively personality. This kind of mercenary is a rare and superb in the eyes of players. Rod also knew that there were some masters in the game forum who summarized the beautiful mercenaries in various regions, and some of them were much worse than Annie and could be on the list, but Rod had never heard of Annie, which was a bit too unscientific.
Did he sacrifice himself to protect his companions? Considering Anne's personality, this is not unlikely, especially when Moon was destroyed by the Night Nation. Someone like Anne certainly wouldn't sit idly by, maybe.........
The thought of this lively and passionate girl in front of him was likely to curl up in some unknown corner in another world and die silently, Rod couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. Instinctively, he reached out and gently stroked Anne's brilliant blonde hair. Suddenly attacked by Rod, Anne also looked at him with some curiosity, but soon squinted her eyes happily and enjoyed Rod's touch. Not only that, but the little guy also posted it quickly. Leaning against Rod's body.
"Meow......... Head......... Would you like to take a break? ”
Although Anne said that she wanted to take a break, the light shining in the big emerald green eyes and the two softness that had been clinging to Rod's body had already revealed Anne's thoughts. Anne has no shame in this regard, and there is no pressure for her to daytime prostitution or anything, which is why even Marlene and Lijie dare not be with Anne, it is really because Anne is too fierce, and their shame has not been reduced to the point of being like Anne. The little guy dared to take Rhodes to the alley where no one was around, even on the street. If you change it to Lijie and Labis, you will definitely not be able to resist it, and you won't do it to death.
So even in such a wide open field, as long as there is no third person. Then Anne is also free of pressure on this.
As long as there is no third person.
But alas, just when Rhodes was also thinking about whether to pull Annie into the corner of the arena to make a shot. Another flash of white light, and then Qi Ludi's figure appeared in the arena, after seeing the arena in front of her, Qi Ludi was also stunned, but soon she noticed Rod and Anne standing not far away, and then watched the movements of the two. Suddenly turned his head, and a touch of crimson appeared on his face. Seeing Qi Ludi appear, Anne could only pout helplessly, and then separated from Rod again. If this is changed to Angelint or a little bubble gum, then Anne may just pull the other party to play threesome. But alas. In Anne's eyes, Kirudi was not a comrade-in-arms who had slept together, and the two sides were not so familiar......... Although Anne didn't mind, Rhodes didn't like it, so Anne didn't do it.
It wasn't surprising to see Qi Lu Di Rod, Qi Lu Di's strength was mainly in the rules, and the level confinement had little impact on her, as a relative demon god, she could be regarded as quite cheap. So Rod also asked Qi Ludi about her situation by the way, although he was very afraid of Rode, but Qi Ludi still obediently answered Rode's question.
Unlike Annie, who was lucky, Qiludi was unlucky, she was teleported to a lair of the Shadow Demon Giant Worm, which was the famous king of the cave in the Shadow Canyon, on the surface, it looked like a huge earthworm seven or eight meters high, but the sharp fangs and the venom spewed, coupled with the small earthworms all over the mountains, the result was that it was very annoying to kill Qiludi, and the underground passage extended in all directions, and Qiludi didn't know where to run to finish. can only kill all the way forward, and as a result, he was tossed and disgraced. Then I don't know if I was scared or killed by Qi Ludi, a giant insect king came out to find Qi Ludi for revenge surrounded by small monsters, but was killed directly by Qi Ludi, who was almost going crazy, and didn't even leave the whole corpse to the other party. Then the king of the giant worms was killed and turned into a crystal, and Kirudi was transported here with the crystal.
It seems that the problem lies with this crystal.
After listening to Qiludi's half-resentful narration, Rhodes thought for a while and quickly came up with an answer. I got a crystal after killing the Valkyrie and was teleported here. Anne also found a crystal in the garden maze and was teleported here, and now Qi Ludi also got the crystal and teleported here after killing a boss, is there any mystery in this crystal?
"Whew!!"
At this moment, two more rays of light flashed, and then Bing'er and Angelinte's figures also appeared in the arena. Bing Xue'er's expression was as calm as ever, and she looked like she was giving priority to a walk after dinner. But Angeline was much more miserable. The originally neat and neat princess dress was in tatters everywhere, and it looked as if it had been made in a rain of bullets. Seeing Rod and the others, Bing Xue'er and Angelin were also overjoyed, and hurriedly surrounded them, and told Rod about their respective experiences.
Bing'er was teleported to the Graveyard of the Dead, which was a relatively open view in the Shadow Canyon. There is simply no better space for Bingxue'er's frenzied projectile, so Bing'er relied on her high mobility as an archer and those ghostly undead creatures to play guerrilla in the Graveyard of Death, and then shot the big boss of the Graveyard alive with a series of projectiles from outside the line of sight. The whole process can be said to be uneventful, with Bingxue'er's ability, those ghost undead creatures are completely finished without even getting close to her body.
As for the reason why Bing Xue Er came so late, it was very simple, although the bow and arrow could travel across the distance to play projectile, but unfortunately Xue Xue Er couldn't tie herself to the bow and arrow and throw it together. So although Bingxue'er was the fastest at clearing monsters, most of her time was spent on the road......... After all, the cemetery of death is not small.
On the contrary, Angeline was much more miserable, her strength was originally the weakest among everyone. As a result, he was transported to the Fountain of Light. It can be regarded as one of the strongest light attributes in the Shadow Canyon, even stronger than the Crystal Forest where Rhodes is located, and Angelint is a vampire, so she is not very interested in the light element. As a result, being teleported here not only made her uncomfortable, but also chased by hundreds of light elemental creatures running around the streets, and it was a tragedy for her. However, Angelint can be regarded as rolling in the sea of swords, and she has fought with Esvile in the ring back then, although these light elemental creatures are troublesome. It's always not as good as the four demon generals. So Angelin finally used her special skills to sneak into the center of the Fountain of Light. It took two times to get the crystal and be teleported, even just now she was almost finished, if it weren't for Angelinte's speed enough, her little head would have fallen again.
"What about Bubbles and Irene?"
Seeing that everyone was almost here now, Rod also frowned, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled. After all, until now. He was surprised that Bubbles and Irene hadn't appeared yet. Even Angelin had passed the trial, so it was logically impossible for Bubbles to be trapped. As for Irene's side, not to mention, Ireen was starting the trial before Rhodes and the others entered the trial grounds. It stands to reason that she should be the first of all to reach the arena.
"Did anyone see them?"
In the face of Rod's inquiry, everyone looked at each other, and then Bing'er and Angelin responded, Bing'er saw a large and dazzling pillar of light erupt from time to time in the southeast when the death graveyard was clearing, with her familiarity with Bubbles, Bing'er could know that it was a good thing for Bubbles to do without asking. It's just that Bing'er'er is too far away from that side, and there is a cliff between the Death Cemetery and that side, Bing'er'er can't get past it even if she thinks about it, so she has to concentrate on her own side of things. And when Angelin was running around in the Fountain of Light being chased around by the mobs, she did catch a glimpse of Irene appearing by the window of the dark tower in the distance, but unfortunately, Irene didn't seem to notice Angelinte. On the contrary, Angelinte saw that Her Royal Highness the princess was excited in her heart, and as a result, she was caught by the little monsters just after she was born, and if she wasn't lucky enough, she might have been finished. And Angelinte obviously has no backbone, she originally planned to go to the tower to find Irene to complete the trial together, but tragically found that the entire Fountain of Light was wrapped in a magical barrier, and she couldn't leave at all. So Angeline had no choice but to continue her trial with a sad face, but fortunately she finally survived the trial.
Now, it's all that's left for Bubbles and Irene.
After exchanging experiences with each other, everyone stood there waiting for the last two. Although according to the rules, this dark arena should be built for the heirs of the dragon soul, but unfortunately, I am afraid that the dark dragon who designed this arena did not expect that Rhodes and them would actually be a gang, resulting in this level that should have been extremely dangerous and bloody, but it is still extremely harmonious until now.
It's just that they waited for another hour, but there are still no two of them. This made the others feel a little worried, and Rhodes also calculated a little, before saying that the trial would be completed within thirty-six hours, but later because of the mistakes of the two dragon girls, the chaos invasion caused the time limit to be shortened to more than twenty hours at once. And it's been nearly ten hours since they teleported in.
Is there something going on?
In the face of this kind of scene, even Rhodes has no choice, it is impossible for them to leave this arena, and even if they leave, they don't know where to go. Now they can only wait here to see when Irene and Bubbles will be able to reach their destination.
"!!Shh
And just when everyone was waiting anxiously, suddenly a white light flashed. (To be continued......)
