Chapter 65: The Place of Bones
The skill that Xiao Ke chose to upgrade is still the steel skin that he is most proud of, not only because this skill is the most practical, but also because this skill has been upgraded to level three, and it takes two gold skill points to upgrade again, upgrading this skill is equivalent to earning a little more, in addition, for Xiao Ke, who is suffering from a state of fear, the improvement of the dark steel skin also makes him feel more secure.
After leveling up, the Dark Steel skin has reached level 4: the defense bonus obtained from the Constitution attribute is increased by 125%, the maximum health gained from the Constitution attribute is increased by 20%, all damage you take is reduced by 7%, your skin is harder than steel, and it is immune to all dark corrosive and toxin skills, which is difficult to damage.
After the sacrifice, the light curtain gradually dispersed, and Xiao Ke also saw Elena outside the light curtain again, she was still shocked by the vastness and greatness of the temple's divine power, and she didn't react for a long time, or Guoguo flew out of Xiao Ke's soul mark and threw herself into her arms, she came back to her senses.
Next, they went to the Hall of Nothingness to upgrade their skills, all of Xiao Ke's current skills are above A, and there are only two A-level skills: the Dark Spear at level 4 and the Dark Impact at level 3, so 32,000 skill points are only enough to level up once. Xiao Ke upgraded the fourth-level Dark Spear to the fifth level: it costs 30 energy points to create the Dark Spear, with a melee attack power of 45~58, and the Dark Spear has armor-piercing, corrosion, and burst effects, and after bringing one-time huge damage to the enemy, it also adds continuous corrosive damage, and the corrosion effect can also act on the enemy's armor.
The same is 32,000 skill points, Elena has a lot more choices, she thought about it carefully, and finally directly upgraded the C-level thorns from level three to level six, and the upgraded skills are: Thorns (level six), summoning thorns to entangle the enemy, making it impossible to move, the winding time depends on the strength of the enemy, if you control the original thorns, it will enhance the winding effect. Level 3 Bonus Effect: Thorns drain the enemy's health, dealing 1 damage per second and converting the absorbed damage to the caster, Level 6 Bonus Effect: The Thorns will have their own paralyzing toxin, which will paralyze enemies for 10 seconds.
When all the enhancements are completed, Chauco and Elena call for Funeral Sky and Kane through the team channel, they have also done their own things, and are waiting in the Hall of Nothingness, Kane After the sacrifice is completed, the maximum value of his unique rage effect has been increased by 100%, although at present, the rage value is only for his talent Thunder Fury, but I believe that in the near future, he will definitely obtain other skills released by consuming rage.
After the four of them converged, they decided not to make any stops, and went straight to the Buried Bones, and only by getting a rich enough reward in the Colosseum could they arm and strengthen the entire team to the greatest extent before the next trial, so as to deal with the crisis of Shoko.
The Place of Bones, one of the Seven Underworld Planes, is not a picturesque place as the name suggests. The portal to the Bones was not a door at all, but a giant skull with a terrifying jaw, and all trialists who entered it were as if they were swallowed by the horrible skeleton. From this door, you can see the danger of the burial ground.
Through the giant mouth of the skeleton, the four of them came to a cold and desolate world, where it was always winter, and the sky was always dense with fine clouds. In the clouds, you can occasionally see small black dots tumbling in and out of the clouds, but in Xiao Ke's eyes, you can see that the smallest of those small black dots is dozens of meters long, and it is a giant dragon composed of dry bones!
The location of the appearance of several people is in front of the gate of an ancient tomb, which is a complex of ancient tombs, and the majestic gates of the ancient tombs stand on the ground, through which one can enter the deep underground palace.
At the end of the horizon, there stood a towering mountain, surprisingly flat, and there stood a huge temple of simplicity, grandeur, and desolation. The two bronze gates in front of the temple that were tens of meters high could be clearly seen from such a distance.
In the distance, a dense forest surrounds the towering peaks. But Xiao Ke could see clearly beyond ordinary people's eyesight, it was a forest of zombies and skeletons!
Xiao Ke couldn't help but feel a chill, he didn't even dare to think about what kind of huge undead army would be formed in such a forest!
Xiao Guoguo, who was originally jumping around on Xiao Ke's shoulder, seemed to dislike this plane full of death breath very much, and turned into a red light and burrowed into Xiao Ke's soul mark.
Beside Xiao Ke, Burial Heaven also looked at the lonely mountain peak and the boundless army in silence, and was speechless for a long time, until Elena asked softly: "Brother Burial Heaven, where is that peak?" ”
Funeral Heaven pondered for a while before replying, "This is the Lich King's temple, and the legions at the foot of the mountain are the famous Dark Knights, who are the guards of the Lich King. ”
As soon as he said this, there was a sudden "Wow! A scream, a shrieked sound startled Funeral Sky, Elena, and Kane, and they hurriedly turned around to find that it was Shawco who made this cowardly woman-like scream!
Fu Tian yelled angrily: "What the hell is your name?!" ”
Xiao Ke trembled and pointed to the gate of the ancient tomb, and screamed loudly: "Ghost! ”
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and only then did they find that from the gate of the ancient tomb, a very terrifying and tall figure came out, it was wearing a surprisingly heavy bronze armor, its iron-blue face was expressionless, and its blood-red eyes were extremely hideous. It carried a bronze heavy sword at its waist, as long and wide as a giant guillotine, larger than Kane's Hammer.
Xiao Ke turned around in fright and was about to flee, but was dragged by the burial heaven and roared angrily: "This is the underworld, there are undead everywhere, what's so strange about ghosts?" Besides, it's not a ghost, it's a Knight of Destruction, a type of undead creature. ”
The hideous Knight of Destruction looked at Xiao Ke strangely with his blood-red eyes before he said coldly: "I am the guard of the Necropolis, the great undead monarch Lich King once sent an oracle, except for the range of the Absolute Peak, all places in the Bone Land are open to the Temple Trialists, so I will not harm you, don't be afraid." ”
Xiao Ke laughed awkwardly, but his body still trembled involuntarily, and he said intermittently: "Haha, I ...... I'm not scared, I'm joking with my companions. ”
Funeral Heaven glared at Xiao Ke fiercely, stepped forward and said, "We are going to the Dark Colosseum, please send us the code card of the parallel space, and in addition, I also want to know if there is a mission distribution for the Dark Colosseum." ”
The Knight of Destruction shook his head, handed Burial Sky a skull-shaped hand, and said in a hoarse and deep voice, "The Dark Colosseum is different from other parallel spaces, although it is in the Land of Bones, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Lich King, and it does not refresh regularly like other parallel spaces, so we don't know what is going on inside, and we don't have any tasks for you. If you have nothing else to do, please leave, the Necropolis is a quiet place for the dead, and they don't like the breath of the living. ”
Funeral Heaven nodded, and glanced at the other three, so the four of King's Landing summoned giant ants at the same time, heading in the opposite direction to the Absolute Peak.
The entire Bones Ground was a barren plain, and there seemed to be no other mountain except the peak where the Lich King lived, and they hadn't seen a single place on a higher ground in the three hours that the four of them had been running wildly.
It was cloudy all year round, the cold wind howled, but not a single snowflake fell, the earth was a bleak pale, and broken bones and wreckage could be seen everywhere under the very fine rocks cut by the bitter cold wind.
Hurrying in such an environment was a kind of torture for the fear-affected Shoko, because there were often white bone arms that protruded from the ground, grabbed the giant ant's limbs, and stopped everyone from advancing. When this situation first appeared, Xiao Ke was scared to scream several times, and then the number of times gradually increased, Xiao Ke finally managed to control himself from screaming, but he was still frightened and his heart beat faster.
Those white bone arms sticking out of the ground are the lowest level skeleton soldiers in the Bone Land, and their combat effectiveness is extremely low, not much stronger than ordinary people on earth. At first, it took some time for everyone to clean them up, but later they found that killing a skeleton soldier dropped only a pitiful 1 soul point, and some crippled ones didn't even drop 1 point, so everyone didn't waste time on them, relying on the powerful power of giant ants, they could always easily break free of the white bone arm.
After more than three hours of running wildly, everyone finally saw a huge dark building from a distance, which was a ring city wall made of various bones, and all kinds of strange skulls were attached to the surface of the city wall, adding a bit of mystery and horror to this huge ring building.
Burial Heaven pointed to the black-painted bone wall and shouted, "Speed up, there's the Dark Colosseum!" ”
But at this moment, smoke and dust rose on the horizon in the distance, Xiao Ke's eyesight had been strengthened, and with the blessing of the pupil of original sin and heavenly punishment, it was even more different from what it used to be, and from a distance, he could see that there were more than a dozen undead knights in black armor galloping towards him like wind and thunder.
Xiao Keluo explained the situation with a trill, and Futian glanced into the distance, and said coldly: "Get ready, kill them all!" ”
With that, he took out three small rings from his storage space, and with a slight force in his hand, the violent wind erupted from his hand, and then all of them were instilled into the three small rings.
This is the 'elemental trap' (consumable item, infused with elemental power, placed in a designated place, you can control the burst of elemental power, and deal a lot of damage to your enemies. )
The three rings of the Burial Heaven were filled with the power of the wind, smiled coldly, waved his hand and threw the trap, as soon as the three rings touched the ground, as if they had fallen on the water, they slowly sank into the ground.
At this time, the dozen or so undead knights also spotted them, so they turned around and rushed towards this side.
So the four of them secretly accumulated their strength and waited for the battle.
It's just that the other three are all solemn, only Xiao Ke is trembling.
