Anubis beckoned, and all five ships flew over and lined up in front of us, and then all five ships turned in the same motion, turning their sides towards us and starting to descend. The strange sails on the side of the ship were folded up and pressed against the side of the ship to point to the sky, and a section of the gunwales opened on the side of the ship, and a folding staircase protruded from it. The five ships did not land in the end, but kept a few centimeters away from the ground, but they had already touched the ground and could get on the ground.
"I'm the only boat that can sail on the River Styx, the Extradition Boat, and now that you're all on board, we'll take you to the final test site." ”
This so-called test is really mysterious enough, not only expelling the audience, but actually taking us to an unknown location on the River Styx. Anubis urges everyone to hurry up and get on the boat, and although the players are a little confused, they still get on the boat quickly.
When I got to the boat, I took a very cautious look at the situation from above. The upper deck of the ship is basically the same as that of a regular wooden sea boat, but since it can fly, it must have a special driving device. The two sides of the hull are obviously not really a power device, and the only function of the sail in this completely windless environment is to act as a drag plate, leaving no possibility of zài power. I'm sure there must be a lot of secrets hidden beneath the deck of this ship.
Once we were on board, the ship left the shore and began to fly towards the River Styx, and the gods of Kohopura boarded five ships each. Anubis stood at the bow of our ship and said to us: "We will wait for a longer journey, and I hope you will not get into trouble during the voyage." And to the adventurous, the River Styx is the River of the Dead.
Its function is to separate the human world from the underworld, and no one can fly on it on their own, so don't think about leaving the deck, or we won't care if you fall. ”
"Since you're in charge of leading the team, you at least have the responsibility to keep us safe before testing, aren't you? If someone falls, you should save it, right? One player asked.
Anubis held out a finger: "First, I said, this is the River Styx, and no one can fly alone on it, including us gods. Second. I'm not interested in babysitting, so don't expect me to help. Thirdly, the River Styx is the river of the dead, and as long as you adventurers fall, you will immediately be invaded by the unjust spirits and die. And even if you are reinstated by the mages of the Resurrection Temple, your soul will be dirty. An evil soul that carries more than 10,000 evil points. Oh yes, it looks like being touched by the Styx water will wipe out your experience level, what is it? Anubis pretended to think, and then suddenly turned around with a smile: "Ah! That's right! Level 30. What do you think? Enjoyable, right? Hahahaha! ”
"What does he mean?" A female player asks the people around her carefully.
The player next to him explained: "To put it another way, as long as you touch the water below, you will die instantly and lose level 30, and after resurrection, you will appear in a state with an evil value of more than 10,000. ”
"Punish so harshly? The loss of level 30 is very strict! The girl said in surprise.
Another player said, "It should be thirty-one!" It's impossible to wash away 10,000 evil points, and if you take that evil value, leveling will be very hard. And it's very troublesome, it's better to commit suicide again, and directly lose thirty-one levels and then practice back, so it's faster. ”
"Thirty-one!" The fourth player sighed. "I'm more than eight hundred levels now, and dropping thirty-one levels is equivalent to going back to more than seven hundred and ninety levels, and re-enduring the most difficult bottleneck to rise, with Anubis's warning, the people on the ship are much more honest. Obviously, a level 30 loss plus 10,000 evil points is enough to scare most people. Of course, there are also those who can't be frightened. At least I'm one of them. Styx! Which is more powerful, the Sea of Silence? If my guess is correct, the River Styx will eventually converge into the Sea of Silence, which means that its composition should be roughly the same. Since I fell into the Sea of Silence last time, I didn't have any problems. The waters of the River Styx should not pose a threat to me, but of course I would better stand in the boat when I don't have to, and the pointless adventure is not worth it. Another point, I was not affected by the Sea of Silence last time, and I guess it may be because my evil value is too high, and the Sea of Silence, which is full of evil power, recognizes me as a substance of the same nature, so it is not aggressive towards me at all. But now in the state of whitewashing, it will be ironclad to fall down. After thinking about it, I hurriedly summoned the second. In terms of attributes, the second can help me swap the evil and righteous attributes at any time, and it's better to swap them for the evil attribute now.
I found a quiet corner and asked the second to help change the attributes, the process was very simple, as long as the second and I put the index fingers of our right hands together, and then the attributes of the two of us were suddenly reversed. However, according to Anubis, it should have replaced me with an evil attribute, and the second world has not changed, but now there has been an exchange, and the second life has been whitewashed after I became an evil attribute. The reason is probably because I have too many evil values in my body, and the evolution of Daozhì II has exceeded Anubis's expectations, so there is a situation that is out of range.
After the exchange, I took the second first, and then I saw that no one was paying attention to me, and began to move cautiously towards the entrance of the cabin. This is a spaceship, and if we can get the core technology of it, it will be of great use to our guild. The anti-gravity devices used today are too energy-intensive, and it would be nice to have devices like gods that can be powered by the magic of a mage.
Carefully moved to the door, and reconfirmed the location of several gods who accompanied the ship, fortunately, they are all in the bow of the boat, and I am here at the stern, which is relatively safe. While the people around me were not paying attention, I suddenly opened the cabin door and flashed in.
It was just the entrance room to the lower cabin, there was no one in it, only a few barrels piled up. There was a downward staircase in the center of the room, and I didn't step on the stairs and just slid down the handrail. This is the cabin area. At first glance, there were rooms, probably crew cabins. Continuing down the stairs, the result is still the same cabin area. I slid down another level, and as soon as I entered, I found that the situation was different from the one above.
There is a voice ahead. I dodged behind a huge pillar on the side, and two Grim Reaper Legionnaires, who looked like Anubis, climbed up the stairs and almost saw me. When they had gone up, I looked out and saw that the floor was full of thick pillars, there were no rooms, and it looked like a cargo hold, but there was light shining in the center of the cabin. There were so many pillars that I couldn't see anything in the center. Just seeing a strong light source over there.
Moving carefully from pillar to pillar, gradually moving closer to the center, I soon discovered the secret hidden in the middle. There's a golden one floating there, and there's nothing around the ball, just itself hovering there. It rotates slowly and glows brightly golden.
"Ayo, you're running out of energy. You go and call the third shift to come and change people. A voice came from across the ball of light.
"Got it, I'll stop it first, you're good." Another voice rang out, and then a priest-looking guy came out from the opposite side, and I hurried behind the pillar. The guy walked up the stairs I was going down the stairs, and I hurried over to the farther pillars. I had barely been hiding when the guy came down with some other people.
When the men came to the ball of light, one of the bald heads said, "Alright, let's start the relay, you guys are ready to withdraw." ”
"Good ground. We're ready. The voice on the other side replied.
The bald head beckoned, and he recited the incantation with several people on the ground, and then suddenly raised his hands at the same time, and each person's palms shot out a golden band of light connected to the golden ball of light, and then the connecting band of light between the group of people and the ball of light on the opposite side disappeared automatically, and then all those people walked out.
"Really. I'm tired. Alright, let's go rest. The leader of the group left with the men, while the new arrivals continued to inject yellow bands of light into the orb of light. These are obviously the ship's controllers. And all of them are very high-level mages, and maybe even some particularly low-level earth gods. The ball of light in the middle is supposed to be the ship's power plant, but it doesn't seem like it's going to be easy to steal. First of all, I'm not sure if this thing is a drive or not. Secondly, what if I take this thing and the spaceship sinks? I don't care about the waters of the River Styx, but getting lost in a place like this can be troublesome. After thinking about it, I decided to abandon the theft plan. The value of the target is uncertain, the danger is uncertain, and there is the possibility of offending the gods for it, and the overall analysis results are very uneconomical. Carefully follow the path you came, but when you reach the second deck, you suddenly hear the sound of the door opening from above, and it is obvious that someone has come down. There was only a straight passage here, and there was no place to hide people, so in a hurry, I ran to the nearest cabin and pushed the door, which was actually locked. Hurry up and change the door on the opposite side, but fortunately this side is not locked. After entering, he quickly closed the door and glanced at the situation in the room by the way.
Goods. So lucky! Wait a minute. Goods? What will be the goods that the gods will deliver? Treasure?
There were more than 30 boxes of all sizes piled up in the room, and I carefully walked to the side of one of them and looked at it. The box was locked, and the structure was very complex, and there seemed to be a faint layer of red light wandering outside the box, presumably with a magic seal.
Open the phoenix dragon space and call Ling out. "Shhhh
Ling just looked at it briefly and said, "This is a very powerful seal, but it is not external. ”
"The seal is not to prevent anyone from opening the chest, and the seal has no effect on you if you want to. Its function is to prevent the contents of the box from opening the box by itself, which should contain something very dangerous, and this kind of thing also has an autonomous consciousness, at least some competent thinking, otherwise there is no need to add such a seal. ”
"That means what's inside is dangerous, isn't it?"
Ling nodded, but then shook his head again. "Not necessarily. The Dark Temple had done this before, placing such seals on the outside of important treasure repositories to deceive people who knew how to do it. With such a seal, the more masters they are, the more they dare not move. ”
What Ling said makes a lot of sense. A heavily armed soldier would be frightened by a heavy machine gun. But primitive people don't, which doesn't mean that primitive people are better than soldiers, it just means that soldiers are higher. Such a seal has the same effect. Only a master can recognize how powerful this seal is, and the more you know about it, the more you dare not touch it. But even though I knew that there was such a possibility, I was really frightened. If that seal wasn't meant to confuse people, but contained something that shouldn't have been released, wouldn't I be in trouble?
"Ling, do the boxes of the backbone also have the same seal?"
"It's all the same."
"Okay, I see." Open the phoenix dragon space and let Ling go first, and then I cautiously walked to the door and listened to the sounds outside. The person who came down just now should have gone down to the ground cabin. There was no sound outside. I carefully opened a slit and glanced at the situation outside, but it was okay, there was no problem. The station quickly flashed outside, and sure enough, there was no one. Run to the edge of the stairs and quickly grab the entrance pod above. I opened a crack first, and then looked outside. I made sure no one was paying attention here, so I got out. I slowly swayed out as if nothing had happened, then walked to the side of the ship, and moved a little bit towards the bow of the boat, and no one seemed to notice my movements.
This damn ship is so mysterious, it's really depressing to find a special power plant and a strange box, but not dare to move any of them.
The ship sailed on the River Styx for nearly an hour before finally reaching its destination. There is a big difference between this side and the place where you get on the boat. The ground here is not rocky, but sand. From here, you can see a vast desert as far as the eye can see, as if you have returned to the surface world. Another difference here is that the roof of the cave is very high. Or that there was no roof at all, anyway, there was only darkness overhead, and nothing could be seen at all.
The ship landed on the edge of the desert and laid us all down, and the gods all walked down. When we were all down, Kohopura stood on the boat and said to us below, "This is where you are about to start testing, now get the pointing needle from the god you are leading." ”
After Kohopura finished talking about the gods, he began to hand out small things to the players in charge of him, and Anubis gave one to each of us. This thing is a little golden ball. I don't know what it's for.
After seeing that everyone had it, Kohopura continued: "What you have in your hand is a needle that points to the end, and you can only rely on him to identify the direction for the next test." When you need to know where to go, just take it out and recite the word signpost in your mind. It will show you the way. Your task is simple, go in the direction that the needle is pointing at. At the end you can see a teleportation array, walk up and teleport back to complete the test. There is no limit to the number of people involved in this test, and everyone here will always participate in the test. You can use props or summoned creatures to help you during the test, and you can run on a pet that makes sense, and if you think it's necessary, you can attack other participants, and we won't bother. It's up to you to decide if you can teleport back from the waypoint within the time limit. "A huge hourglass suddenly rose from the sand. Kohopura pointed to the hourglass and said, "This is the timer, and your pointing to the ball will also help you see the remaining time by silently reciting the word time." Your time limit is six hours, and you must complete it before that, or you will be eliminated. Well, is there anything else for the other gods to add? ”
Anubis walked up to Kohopura and said, "Remember, we allow each other to attack each other, but we don't encourage each other, and we are not responsible for your delay in completing the test." Also, there are many difficulties along the way, and we are not trying to test your movement speed, so don't think that you can run fast. Let me remind you that the desert in front of you is not as simple as it seems, so it's better to be careful. Well, the test starts now. ”
With Anubis' words, the huge hourglass flipped over, and the gravel began to fall, but slowly, and after six hours when it was all gone, the test was over.
The Qianxin players present here saw that the hourglass was turned over, and they all hurriedly started pointing at the ball, and I was no exception, only to see a golden arrow appear in front of each of us. The arrows all pointed in the same direction, deep into the desert ahead.
A player in a hurry is the first to summon a mount and straddle it. The strange creature with markings all over its body had barely run twenty meters before it ran into trouble. This desert is completely quicksand, no wonder Anubis said that this desert is not as simple as it seems. The player's mount rushed too fast, and it was too late to turn back when he realized that something was wrong, and he quickly fell halfway in. Fortunately, this guy was smarter and jumped out on his mount. His mount was swallowed up by quicksand, but he jumped out of it.
With this experience, the people who come after have also learned to be obedient. A player summons a pegasus and rides it off, but he just flies above the location where the player was killed. Pegasus suddenly fell headlong. The Pegasus that fell into the quicksand was in the same situation as the previous mount, in which they could not move at all and quickly sank down. His comments jumped out in the same way, but the mount was finished.
A few clever mage players unleashed the creatures condensed by magic for a moment, and it turned out that there was a forbidden space above the quicksand. There is nothing to fly here. Large groups of players gather at the junction of quicksand and solid sand, anxiously searching back and forth, only to find that the quicksand seems to stretch infinitely in both directions. There is simply no place to get around.
There are more people and more ideas. Just when everyone was at a loss, suddenly a player made a strange move. The warrior had two large tags like me, and he was very clever enough to throw one of them on the quicksand, and when he found that the tag did not sink, he carefully stood up, and the tag sank a little, but it did not sink. He immediately excitedly laid another shield in front of this one, then stepped on the previous one, and then turned around and took the one in front of him and laid it on. In this way, the shield was laid alternately to advance.
Quicksand is easy to trap things in, but it's essentially the same as soft snow, and as long as you know how to spread the pressure, you won't get caught up. This warrior's approach is a little slower, but it does work.
Inspired by this man, a large number of players followed suit. But that's not all. Classes with shields are only a few categories of warriors and knights, and not every knight and warrior will carry two tags, so this method has a limited range of use, but three stinkers can still top Zhuge Liang. There are more than 1,000 people here, which is equivalent to hundreds of Zhuge Liang. The new approach was released quickly.
It was a mage professional player who lay very clumsily on the edge of the quicksand and tried to roll around, but found that he didn't sink, so he rolled forward and quickly caught up with the shield-bearers in front of him. It was very troublesome to move the two shields back and forth, and the speed was naturally not fast. Rolling on the ground is much faster than them, and although this method is not elegant, it is very simple, and everyone can do it. So in an instant, there were more than a thousand players rolling forward along the ground on the desert, and the scene was really spectacular.
While most people have adopted the simple and convenient method of rolling, it is not the whole story. There were only a dozen people left, and three of the women gave up because they thought it was uncivilized. There is really a big difference between girls' thinking and men's. The rest of the people have their own powers. One of them actually took out a strange large package, and then summoned a toad-like magic pet to blow for him, and in a short time the package was completely unfolded and turned into a huge ball.
I've seen this thing in real life, and many amusement parks have it. It consists of two layers of transparent spheres, filled with space in the middle, and then a person burrows into the center of a layer of spheres inside. With this thing, you can walk on any quicksand, snow, or even water, and you can jump off a cliff without falling into it. It seems that the special forces are also equipped with this thing, which is used for rapid detachment from special mountainous terrain. I didn't expect this player to have this kind of thing in the game, but it's obviously simpler than in reality, as if it was sewn out of some animal's air bag. Either way, it's more comfortable than rolling, and it's very fast. The guy got into it and began to run forward quickly, and the orb was affected by the people inside, and it also rolled forward, and the huge orb dispersed the pressure, and there was no reaction on the sand. He ran away with the ball like a hamster in a hamster ball, and the speed was much faster than the people in the previous two ways.
Anubis said to Kohopra: "The current players are really getting better and better, I didn't expect to bring such tools." ”
Kohopura also said: "I hope I can choose the right person, otherwise things will not be easy to do in the future." ”
When I saw the guy run out, I looked at the person who was still standing and laughed. The rest of the people are almost all magic pet masters, and it seems that our profession really has a bright future. All the demon pet masters have summoned their own demon pets. One of the guys summoned a giant water spider, the kind of thing that was ahead of the massive foot pressure structure that could walk on the water, let alone quicksand. Another guy actually summoned a sand scorpion, and that thing was the Prince of Quicksand. The pets of the magic pet masters appeared one by one, and it was finally my time.
The huge body of the pioneer startled the people around him when he appeared, although the volume is not equal to the strength, but the large magic pet is generally not too bad. Because my attributes have been exchanged with II, the Pioneer has also changed back to black.
At my command, the Pathfinder's massive body slid like a snake into the quicksand, revealing only a long strip at the top of his back. I walked to the head of the Trailblazer, which was relatively flat for standing.
"Alright, let's move forward."
The huge body of the pioneer is spread flat on the quicksand like a centipede, although the size is huge, the pressure on the surface of the quicksand is actually not as strong as that of humans, so there is no need to worry about falling into it, and after receiving my order, the pioneer quickly ran forward. Although he is usually only responsible for making holes, in fact, the speed of the Trailblazer is not slow, and this time he can be regarded as a complete insight into what a real desert ark is for me and the people around me. Oh no. He is not a desert ark, but a desert speedboat.
In everyone's astonished gaze, the pioneer rushed across the desert like an arrow, and the sand on both sides was blown up like a splash, forming two killing waves, and leaving a large sand ditch behind the pioneer. I stood on top of the Trailblazer as if I was skateboarding, directing him all the way forward, and within minutes everyone behind me was gone. I was looking back at the other players who were no longer there, when suddenly my feet shook violently, and at the same time, there was a bang in front of me, and my whole body was thrown out by inertia.
