Chapter 4 The One Who Waits

"Kill!" Morton roared, his tall body smashing into the demons like a boulder. The golden field, which was more than fifty meters in diameter, showed a slight deformation as he sprinted.

In the next second, countless snake-like metal tentacles emerged from the realm, staggering, piercing the bodies of all the demons in the realm.

Boom! The metal tentacles shook violently, and the terrifying power blasted these demons into scattered fragments in the sky.

Among the stumps and broken arms and large and small fragments that fell one after another, Morton was like a huge octopus demon god. There is an almost crazy murderous aura all over the body.

"Roar. ”

In the distance, a level 10 demon gave the order to retreat. The demon receded like a tidal wave, revealing more than forty mercenaries covered in blood and terrified.

"My lord," said a thunderstorm knight standing beside Morton, anxiously, "we can't go on like this." ”

Morton retracted his field and swept his grim gaze around.

After being caught by the red light, Morton led the men through the garden, trying to find an exit out of the area.

At first, he was in a good situation.

Most of the thunderstorm mercenaries under his command were with him, and only twenty or thirty were missing. And along the way, this fierce team met many lone mercenaries from other mercenary groups.

Morton's method of dealing with these people is direct and ruthless coercion. Those who obey are dragged into the ranks, and those who try to resist are killed on the spot.

After two mercenaries who were unwilling to give in were killed by Morton, the team swelled to more than a hundred people at one point. It has become the largest group of human mercenaries in this huge garden.

Unfortunately, the short-lived good situation not only did not last, but became worse and worse because of the ruthlessness and ferocity of the thunderstorm mercenaries.

Along the way, those lone mercenaries. Under their persecution, they were at the forefront. And themselves, hiding behind, preserving their strength.

If that's all there is to it, that's it.

After all, everyone has come through this world of the jungle and knows the rules very well. No one expected Morton and his gang of villains to risk their lives to defend themselves. Like a migrating herd of takin. Most of those who died in the round-up were the old and weak on the fringes of the group.

However, what the mercenaries never dreamed of was that Morton and the others did not even have a basic plan to cooperate, but completely treated them as consumables.

In battle, when someone is in danger, even if there are thunderstorm mercenaries nearby, even if they don't get into trouble, they won't help. And that's not all. Seeing that the situation is not good, they also repeatedly use other people as bait to escape on their own.

Finally, in a battle not long ago, more than twenty mercenaries took advantage of Morton and the others to take care of themselves and left the team together.

Morton didn't know if these people were dead, but he knew that something was wrong with him right now.

Successive battles. has made fewer and fewer people around him. And in the battle just now, seven or eight more died. Now there are less than fifty people.

And these people. Including myself, I am exhausted. Many Glory Knights are now only able to unleash half of the battle rings. The combat power is not much stronger than that of the just knight.

If you continue like this, I am afraid that if you don't find a way out, you will be wiped out.

"Boom!"

It was at this time that the central area of the garden. A terrible roar erupted. Thousands of demonic roars, like a huge thunderbolt, spread in all directions. The echo is endless.

Morton's face changed suddenly. And the others beside him were even more blank sheets.

They were met with wave after wave of demonic attacks. The largest wave was almost 500 individuals. You can know the moment. Hearing this voice, they realized how many demons they were facing.

Morton withdrew his gaze from the center of the garden and turned his head to look in other directions. I quickly made up my mind in my heart.

He didn't know where the exit to the garden was, though his search had convinced him that the damn exit was probably in the middle of the garden. However, the voice, along with the powerful aura he had felt before, still made him daunted in that direction.

Nowadays, the only way is to build a temporary fortress based on a certain building.

"Go this way!"

Morton commanded, pointing to a tall spire looming behind the trees

On the third floor of the magic tower, a light cocoon was lying quietly in the center of the hall.

Long Qi and Long Ba looked at the light cocoon with a blank expression, while Long Jiu excitedly counted the five gold coins in his hand, turning them over and over again, never getting tired of looking at them.

Forty minutes ago, Roy walked into the magic circle on the third floor. What is tested on this layer is the mana reserve of the interlocutor.

In terms of difficulty, this level is not inferior to the second level.

You must know that the mana reserve is a fixed value on the surface, and it is fixed to have as much mana as you reach what level, or vice versa.

For example, a dragon moon one-star magician, the magic power is between five thousand and six thousand magic yards. If it is less than five thousand, it is a five-star magician of Langxing, and if it is higher than six thousand, it is a two-star magician of Longyue. No one can ever violate this naturally occurring system of rules.

But in fact, not to mention a mage of the same level, even if it is a person with exactly the same mana value, there will be a big gap in the actual battle.

The reason for this is that the mana is consumed differently during battle.

Unleash the same magic, and some magicians have no more than ten percent mana loss. Some magicians have a loss of 20 percent, or even more than 30 percent.

For example, if you release a fire-type seventh-level magic [Dance of the Crows] with a standard mana of 5,000 magic codes, the magician with the best magic control will only need less than 5,500 mana to complete the elemental array construction, arranging all the elements to where they should be.

However, for those magicians who are not familiar with this magic, or who do not have a strong affinity for the fire element, it is common for them to spend six thousand magic codes, or even close to seven thousand magic codes, to arrange the elemental array. And in battle, this also means that the mana reserve is depleted.

Because of this. It's the magicians who pay so much attention to elemental affinity. Not to mention that fire magicians don't know how to learn water magic, even if they are two-line or even three-line elemental affinities, they usually only choose the element with the strongest affinity as their main battle magic.

But even for magicians who are born with elemental affinity, the loss of mana is usually around ten percent. There are only a very small number of spells that can reach five percent attrition for a long time and a large amount of training, even magic that is very low-level compared to the mage level.

And want to pass through the third layer of magic array. The mana drain requirement is an almost perverted statistic - no more than one percent!

When the interloper enters the magic circle, he is faced with an attack circle and a defense circle.

At first, the trespasser will be fixed in a defensive circle. Accept an attack from the Attack Circle. It is impossible to dodge, and no other means of combat can be used. All he could do was use his magic to unleash a defensive magic when the attack magic came.

And this defensive magic is not something that the interloper can decide. He must unleash the specified magic through the requirements of the defense circle. Other words. If you let you set a fireball, it will be a fireball, and if you use a magic shield, it will be a magic shield, and it won't have to be changed.

It's an interlocking process.

The attack circle will attack based on the interloper's own mana reserves. There are a total of ten attacks per round, and each one is a different level of magic. In order to take over these spells, the interlocutor must complete the ten defensive spells designated by the defense circle.

The standard mana of these ten defensive spells is 99% of the total mana of the interlocutor himself. If the loss is more than one percent, it means that in the later stage, the passer will be due to a lack of mana. And can't take the last one, or even two or three attack magic.

For a mage who is physically weak and has run out of magic. Even if it's just a wind blade, it can be fatal.

What's even more cruel is that the challengers accept not only one round.

After completing the training of the defense circle, he will be transferred to the attack circle to assign attack magic. to attack the magic in the defense circle.

And that's not all.

After the fire magic is completed, he must also go through the wind, earth, water, and gold systems repeatedly. Offensive and defensive challenges for elements such as wood. There are twelve rounds in total, and not a single mistake is allowed.

It can be said that such a test is simply harsh to the extreme. When they first saw this magic array, the bone dragons didn't believe that anyone in this world could pass through at all.

It is enough to consume no more than one percent of the mana, after all, people with smart brains can save mana by carrying some low-level magic by hard. As long as you resist the fatal ones in each round of ten magic, and fight to get a little injured, you can barely pass after all.

But what's terrible is that one round can do this, and twelve rounds can do this? Can you withstand one magic and be injured once, can you still carry twelve magic and be injured twelve times?

Besides, it's a different kind of elemental magic.

A mage with an affinity for the fire element may be able to pass the offensive and defensive tests of fire magic, but when it comes to water magic, what will he do?

The rejection of the natural elements will make him unable to complete half of his magic even if he exhausts his magic power!

Therefore, not to mention Long Ba, even Long Jiu, who has always supported this human kid, has a little drum in his heart. It felt that even if this kid could pass the test, he would be very reluctant, even miserable.

His advantage is that his own magic level is not high, which allows him to take advantage. Because this means that the attack magic that appears in the magic circle will not be too vicious. And on the contrary, he is just a freak of demonic and martial arts double cultivation, and his physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary magicians.

As long as he can carry those fourth- and fifth-level magic, plus a little luck, he may be able to survive it.

What they never dreamed of was that during the whole process, the black-haired human kid not only did not miss a single spell, but also did not carry a hard attack. He just walked in and completed a total of twelve rounds of offensive and defensive tests of the six series elements.

Although the whole process is not easy, it is by no means difficult. From start to finish, it's less than forty minutes!

Another perfect playthrough!

At this moment, looking at Roy who was wrapped in a light cocoon, Long Qi and Long Ba stared blankly.

Long Ba's mind even completely put aside the five gold coins that were enough to make it beat its chest for a hundred years, and just replayed every picture of this human being when he cleared the level, over and over again.

"Is this kid a pervert?" said Long Qi with difficulty, "How can he be a full elemental affinity?"

Ryupachi was still dumbfounded, completely unaware of its words.

Long Jiu swallowed the gold coin into his stomach, squinted his eyes with satisfaction, stared at the light cocoon on the screen, his eyes were full of anticipation: "I don't know how this kid did it, but I think he will definitely be able to pass the next layer." As he spoke, it turned its head to look at Ryupachi, "I'll bet twenty gold coins!"

Long Qi rolled his eyes.

Long Ba turned his head and stared at Long Jiu fiercely, "Do you think I'm like an idiot?"

"Don't gamble?" Long Jiu looked stunned, "This is not your style. ”

Ryupachi didn't answer. It just looked at the picture and laughed. The laughter grew louder and louder. Gradually, Long Qi and Long Jiu also laughed together.

They looked at each other and laughed to tears.

More than 6,000 years......

They knew that the person they had been waiting for had finally arrived...... (To be continued.) )
