Chapter 12: The Road to Card Hunting (Part II)
Deserted village, rainy night, knocking on the door.
The three elements of this horror movie are almost overflowing.
Everyone present was nervous...... Except for Zhao Ting.
He has never felt anything about something like Ah Piao, and if there really is Ah Piao, he really wants to see what it looks like.
"Tuk tuk..."
The knock on the door was like some kind of established procedure, and it sounded continuously, without the slightest hint of stopping.
And I don't know if it's an illusion, but the water gushing through the crack outside the door seems to be getting more and more, and the sound of the rain has completely stopped.
It seems that only the sound of this knock is left between heaven and earth.
Zhao Ting Huo Ran got up, holding the jade leaf in his hand, and walked towards the gate.
"Brother Zhao!"
The boy exclaimed, but he gritted his teeth and followed, and was ready to mobilize the current to attack something outside.
"Just stand behind me, you don't have to follow."
Zhao Ting smiled, then held the doorknob with his hand and pushed it hard---
"Squeak~"
The door moved slightly, but instead of being pushed open, the knocking outside seemed to be getting more and more urgent.
Now everyone should know that something is wrong outside, and someone is already persuading Zhao Ting not to try to push the door again.
If something "horrible stuff" comes in, it's terrible.
Zhao Ting hesitated for a moment, and finally retracted his hand.
If he was the only one, he could try, but there are so many people, forget it.
He turned around and was about to go back to sitting on the pile when he suddenly heard a "squeak".
A cold wind mixed with rain blew behind him and hit him on his back.
"Lingqi returns!"
Zhao Ting didn't panic at all, and said in a deep voice.
His special skills had been activated, countless blue rays of light intertwined, and in just a moment, a blue robe appeared on his body.
This is a way to apply his skills, and with the ability of the water flow, he can absorb almost any damage.
This ability to absorb damage is linked to his basic attributes, and at this stage, as long as he doesn't encounter something particularly terrifying, he has the confidence to be able to block it.
But, the next second.
A cold, sharp object landed on his back, and at the same time, several figures in iron armor rushed in, directly controlling everyone in the cave.
Zhao Ting watched as they were chained hand and foot one by one, and were pulled out like animals.
In this process, Zhao Ting didn't think about resisting, but the spear against his back directly ignored the shield of his Lingqi return, as long as the other party killed together, he probably had to pray for reincarnation in the next life.
Eventually, he was the only one left in the house.
"You turn around."
A cold voice sounded, it should be a man, but it sounded a little immature, at most it was a little kid who had just changed his voice.
Zhao Ting turned around like a stream, and by the way, he honestly raised his hand to show that he had no malicious intent.
But when he saw the person standing in front of him, he still felt quite speechless and confused.
This is a little general who wears dark armor, but at most he is as tall as Zhao Ting's chest.
He was holding a spear, and he had to raise it to poke at the position of Zhao Ting's heart.
It's as funny as a kid playing a pretend game.
But it's not cute at all.
The gaze from under the armor was extremely cold, without the slightest emotion.
The little general stared at Zhao Ting for a long time before motioning for Zhao Ting to follow him.
Zhao Ting naturally followed honestly, because he felt that even if he was behind his back, it was impossible for him to escape, because since he came out of the wooden door, the scenery around him had changed.
There is still rain in the sky, but it has changed from the "Internet celebrity mud village" just now to a black land.
There was an endless black forest on the land, and the pure black branches swayed in the wind, like ghosts in the dim skylight.
What's more, the one in front of you...
But it's a level ninety monster!
【Guardian of Anas】
【Life Endowment, Creation Seed, Time Persistence】
[Level: 90]
[A fierce general who died in the endless years, was resurrected by great power to become its guard, he has the martial arts of his life and the great power he has been given. Within the limits of the Great Will, he will not take any damage and can use the power of time]
[PS: Please don't provoke him, he can eat the divine beast like a skewer! 】
Level 90!
Looking at the long list of explanations, he suddenly realized it.
Honestly following behind the little general, he secretly looked at the armor on his body, trying to detect a clue from the armor style.
The armor looks solid black, but it is actually embellished with gold textures in many places, and there is a small hourglass on the shoulders.
In the hourglass, you can see the golden quicksand flowing endlessly.
"I've never seen this type of armor...... Quicksand, is this his power of time? ”
Zhao Ting thought in his heart.
"If I break it ......"
As soon as a bold idea came out, he was directly pressed to death, what a joke, a ninety-level monster, as long as people want to, I'm afraid that a finger can poke him to death.
But as he moved forward, it wasn't long before his eyes were drawn to a tall golden building.
This golden building stands out against the black earth, and it unabashedly radiates a brilliant glow, swaying its own glow around.
When he walked to the front of the building, Zhao Ting couldn't help but exclaim.
For no other reason, this building was the most peculiar building he had ever seen, and there was no one.
Its surface is pale golden translucent spar, but there are strange and exquisite patterns or picture scrolls every three meters, whether it is mountains, rivers and earth, the sun, moon and stars, and even the scenery in the universe are perfectly engraved on the wall.
And these landscapes are constantly changing, from birth to destruction, from destruction to the next rebirth, as if there are countless windows of time opening on this building.
"Go in and find Him."
The little general finally stopped, and although his tone was still cold, there was also a hint of anticipation.
"My brother and I have been exhausted by the long hours of caretake, and His gift has become a burden......"
He seemed to want to continue, but the golden hourglass on his shoulder was flowing wildly, and it was visibly blackened.
"Hmm......"
He let out a somewhat painful sound, clutching his head for a while before returning to normal, but his tone also regained indifference:
"Let's go inside! If it doesn't work out, I'd welcome you and your friends to join us. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Zhao Ting watched him walk away, and the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger, but since he had already arrived, as a senior RPG enthusiast, he would never let go of this event that seemed to be a hidden plot.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and walked straight to the building, and before he could test it, a golden light rolled up him and disappeared directly into it.
……
Before coming in, Zhao Ting had also imagined what it was like inside. But when he actually came in, he saw it, but he couldn't speak.
Because there was no gorgeous and extravagant temple inside what he had imagined, only an endless sea of golden sand.
At least as far as his eye could see, there was only a sea of golden sand.
The wind swept up the golden sand, surging wantonly in the sea of sand, and the golden sand revealed a hazy mist, and the whole world was magnificent and unreal.
"Is it pretty?"
A voice that was indistinguishable between men and women suddenly came, and Zhao Ting, who had expected it, was not frightened, but nodded:
"It's beautiful, this kind of scene can't be seen by ordinary people, right?"
"Of course, ordinary people don't have a chance to come here, and you will be invited here with a wisp of his familiar aura."
The voice was smiling, and with the voice, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Ting.
He... Or is it her?
The human figure in front of Zhao Ting had a perfect golden ratio body, its skin was crystal plump, and at first glance it was no different from a human being, but if you looked closely, you could see the golden liquid flowing under its body.
Its face is also a golden ratio of facial features, but it also tends to be neutral, and it should be no problem to say that a handsome guy or a beautiful woman is.
"It's early... At this time, I don't know if you can handle the pressure of it. ”
The human figure looked at Zhao Ting for a while, and then stretched out his hand.
A seven-colored card flew out from the boundless sea of sand and landed in front of Zhao Ting.
There is only one hourglass on the card, and the golden sand flows slowly from the hourglass.
【Chaotic Time】
【Special, Colorful, Unique】
[After withstanding the test of the time stream, according to the current level, the following effects are obtained:
(1): Every 7 calendar days, there will be a chance to draw treasures in the Infinite Sea of Gold.

[PS: It's the second colorful card that has been created...... I heard that it represents time, and space complements each other to form the basis of existence, but it is just ...... It's supposed to be lifeless, right? ---?? 】
"Well, are you willing to control it?"
The humanoid kept smiling, "Hold it if you want, it will test you if you are qualified to be its master now." ”
Zhao Ting did not hesitate, and directly reached out to hold it, and then he remained still.
The humanoid waited very patiently, but after a while, it saw that the colorful streamer on the card was restrained, replaced by a golden light.
The card was integrated into Zhao Ting's body.
"It's ...... Is it so fast? It's amazing that it's been so long in advance. ”
With a heartfelt emotion, it lowered its head and saw that its lower body seemed to begin to dissipate, and the golden sea mist in the distance gradually converged and calmed down.
It's just that it didn't panic at all, but waited for Zhao Ting to wake up very relieved.
Fortunately, it didn't wait long before Zhao Ting opened his eyes.
His expression was a little confused, and the trial of the card just now made him almost lose control...... It's a good thing there.
Zhao Ting clenched the jade leaf he had been holding, but heard a "click".
He opened his mouth, then slowly spread his palm, and found that the jade leaf had been shattered into pieces, and as soon as the wind blew, it dissipated directly.
“……”
Zhao Ting instinctively stretched out his hand to grab it, but he just pounced.
"That's it, that's ......"
The humanoid form smiled, and it stretched out its fair, slender hand, and a wisp of golden sand wrapped in the crumbs of the jade leaf swirled in its palm, and then returned to the original form of the jade leaf.
Its body was weathered in front of Zhao Ting as if thousands of years had passed in an instant, just like the jade leaf just now.
"Who the hell are you?"
Zhao Ting couldn't help but ask, but the human form didn't respond, just put the jade leaf in the palm of his outstretched palm, and it completely weathered into sand and melted into the golden sea.
A huge treasure chest appeared in front of Zhao Ting, and he just took a look, and it was estimated that there were twenty or thirty pieces of glittering materials inside.
