Chapter 2254: Dark River
"Collect the gold artifacts scattered in the dark river. β
"Where is the Dark River, and what is the gold artifact?" Bai Chen asked curiously.
"The dark river is under our feet, an underground river that runs through the north and south of the entire Phantom Beast Academy, millions of secluded dark phantom beasts wander in it, and the gold weapon is also called the forbidden weapon, a very special weapon, the predecessor of the Great Olympic Country is the Tiandong Empire, and the Tiandong Empire is because of the holding of gold weapons, it has created a prosperous dynasty, and has been in the hands of this gold army for generations, but in a mission, the gold army entered this dark river, and then never came out, and the gold weapons held by the gold army have since been scattered in the dark river, and the Tiandong Empire has also declined, and was finally replaced by the Great Austrian countryγ β
Nephrite paused and continued: " The number of secluded dark phantom beasts in the dark river is too much, and their strength is terrifying, plus they are already adapted to the secluded claustrophobic environment, so even if the god is strong into it, they dare not go deep, how powerful the gold legion was at the beginning, but the final result is to be completely buried in the dark river, never come out, and this task hangs on the advanced task light, it has been hundreds of years, except for luck, can pick up one or two gold weapons washed out by the dark river at the exit, other people who go deep have never succeeded, many teams venture deep into it, and most of them are lost soldiers, or even the whole army is annihilatedγ β
"How many gold objects are there, do we have to pick up all the gold objects to complete the task?"
"No, a gold weapon has 500 points, and the gold legion of that year was known as 200,000 legions. Why should there be 200,000 gold objects? But forget the four of us. I don't want to die. β
"That's it. Bai Chen said.
"Stone, don't you understand what I'm saying?" Nephrite's tone immediately sharpened, "I didn't understand enough?"
"You say it very clearly, I can totally understand it, but I find the task interesting. β
"Oh my God...... I'm not going to go crazy with you. β
"Then I'll go myself. β
"Stone, do you know what you're doing? I know you're strong, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to complete this task that is so high on the mission list that it claims will never be possible. β
"Then don't treat me like a human being, I know what I'm doing. And I don't like to take risks either, if you're willing to take my word for it. β
"I feel like you're crazy!" Nephrite turned his head angrily and left, but Bai Chen didn't stop Nephrite.
Everyone has the right to choose, and it is impossible for him to ask Nephrite to accompany him to go crazy, although Bai Chen knows what he is doing, it does not mean that others can understand.
Nephrite took a few steps, then suddenly turned back with anger on her face: "You know, I feel like I'm crazy too." β
Bai Chen looked at Lu Menhou and Lu Menqing, and the two hesitated. They also know what that means.
They are afraid, afraid. At the same time, I am also thinking.
In the end, the two of them raised their heads at the same time, and Lu Men said, "Stone, can you protect us like you did last time in the Black Death?"
"At any time, if you are in danger, you can stand behind me. Bai Chen replied seriously.
"Don't mind two more burdens, we know it's difficult, but ...... We didn't want to miss out. β
"Of course, you are a member of the team, and from the moment you become a member of the Wuyong team, any task of the Wuyong team is inseparable from you. β
Nephrite gritted her teeth and said to the person in charge of the mission, "Give me that damn mission credential to find gold." β
After receiving the task, Nephrite said to Bai Chen, "Some preparations are needed. β
"What do I need to prepare?"
"First of all, there is a light source, there is no light in the dark river. β
At this moment, Lu Menqing said: "Sister Nephrite, my phantom beast can solve this problem, my phantom beast is a light wave, which can provide a light source for a long time. β
Nephrite nodded: "Stone, I'm going to confirm with you again, are you sure you want to carry out this mission?"
"That's right. β
"You're an advanced student, so you should have taken the advanced test. β
"What's wrong?"
"The phantom beasts locked in the trial door are caught from the dark river, they are all secluded dark phantom beasts, their strength is all above the ground grade, and they are very sensitive to the light source, they will attack all unfamiliar smells, as well as anything or people with a light source. β
"Well, I understand. β
"It's not that there are no people who enter the dark river and come out unharmed, but that means that you need to keep killing, and any dark beasts you encounter along the way must be killed, so that when we encounter a large number of dark beasts, we can have a smooth way out, do you understand?"
"I understand. β
"I don't think you understand, as long as we go a little deeper, we're going to have to face the attacks of the Darkbeasts, the hordes of them. β
"I understand. β
"I'm starting to regret my decision. β
Although Dark River didn't need much to prepare, they still prepared for half a day before they moved that night.
There are also guards at the entrance to the Dark River, and Nephrite leads the team into the Dark River smoothly after showing the guards the credentials.
"It's another bunch of kids who don't know whether they're alive or dead. β
"It's a shame that there's a kid in there. β
Bai Chen and the others didn't go far, and they could still hear the chatter of the guards outside.
Nephrite glanced at Bai Chen: "You see, even they are not optimistic about us." β
Bai Chen shrugged: "Because they don't know us, and they don't know me." β
"Hopefully, when we come out, you'll be able to say that again. β
The dark river was so dark that the team had fallen into darkness after two steps, and the moonlight could not shine into this deep underground.
"Summon your phantom beast. β
Lu Menqing summoned his own phantom beast, Light Wave.
Light Wave's body was very similar to a plankton, slowly hovering around Lu Menqing, his body flashing and emitting a strong light.
"Lu Menqing, does this phantom beast of yours have any other abilities besides emitting light?"
Bai Chen looked at the light wave curiously, he couldn't think of what kind of combat power the seemingly weak light wave could have.
"Light waves can emit stronger light that blinds people for a short time, while also emitting light and fire that can cause people to be burned in an instant. β
"It's a very special and potential phantom beast. Bai Chen nodded.
With Lu Menqing's current strength, the attack power of the light wave should also be limited.
However, if the light wave can evolve into a divine product, then it should bring unimaginable power.
Finally, the first Dark Beast appeared, a Phantom Beast about the size of a tiger, but because it had lived in the dark underground for a long time, it had no eyes, only sharp claws.
A lone dark beast that threatens nothing.
Even if Lu Menhou and Lu Menqing join forces, they can easily deal with this dark beast.
Of course, Nephrite still took the initiative, her Qingze beast limbs were summoned, and an ice ball was smashed out, and the dark phantom beast had been frozen into ice, and then with a light knock, it shattered into countless pieces.
On the rest of the journey, everyone was relatively relaxed, and they encountered a total of three dark illusion beasts, all of which were of the earth's quality.
For four people, there is no difficulty at all.
The Dark River is far less terrifying than nephrite says, and even nephrite is beginning to wonder if this dark river is in vain.
Along the way, everyone was wading through the water, and the water level of the dark river was not high, not even reaching their knees.
Unlike the Black Death, the Dark River does not have an intricate labyrinthine topography, but is a meandering river tunnel.
The tunnel is not too big, more than 20 meters wide and more than 10 meters narrow.
However, for everyone, wading in the water for a long time is also a very difficult thing, after all, the resistance of the water will consume their mobility.
And it also caused a certain obstacle to their movement, at first, they didn't feel it, but after walking for half an hour, Nephrite already felt a little tired.
Bai Chen is always one step ahead of everyone and walks in the front.
The flickering light gives people a sense of oppression.
People will always instinctively feel fear of claustrophobic and dark environments.
This repression has always been with the crowd, and the crowd has not spoken for a long time.
Nephrite couldn't help but speak: "Stone, aren't you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid. Bai Chen said indifferently.
"I always thought you were a very calm and smart kid, what made you decide to go here?"
"Strength. β
"Okay, you are indeed very strong, and you can defeat Dongfang Yi, which is enough to prove your strength, but this is not enough, the danger in the dark river is far from being comparable to Dongfang Yi. β
"I never thought it was a big deal to beat Dongfang Yi, she wasn't even an opponent. β
"Dongfang Yi is definitely a strong opponent, and she will become even more terrifying in the future. β
"She would be happy if she knew you said that about her. Bai Chen said indifferently.
"You don't know yet, she's been plotting to capture the Thousand Transformations, and once she succeeds, her strength will increase by leaps and bounds, and she even has the qualification to challenge for the first place. β
"Just because you're the first to challenge me doesn't mean you're qualified to challenge me. β
"You're still so arrogant. β
"You should say I'm confident, not arrogant. β
Suddenly, Bai Chen stopped: "Wait, don't go forward." β
"What's wrong?"
Bai Chen pointed to the water in front of him: "The front is very deep. β
"I can swim. β
"It's not just deep. β
Wow -
Suddenly, a huge Dark Beast emerged from the water and appeared in front of everyone without warning, this Dark Beast looked like a huge eel, with its mouth wide open and slippery.
Nephrite, Lu Menhou, and Lu Menqing all lost their minds for a moment, after all, all this was too sudden.
But what was even more sudden was Bai Chen's attack, Bai Chen threw out a punch, and the mouth and body of the dark beast had deviated from its original position, poof, turned over the white belly, floated on the water, and died...... (To be continued.) )
