Chapter 154: The Rope Bridge is Frightened
The blue light on Xiao Chen's body clearly showed that he was a wind mage.
It is precisely because of this that those people are shocked, four gates, representing four different paths, earth, fire, wind, water, a wind mage broke into the fire gate, isn't that looking for death?
"Is this man an idiot? How did he break into the fire gate?"
"I think he is dead, he can enter the second round of assessment at such a young age, and his talent seems to be very good, but unfortunately, he went the wrong way. ”
"I've studied it just now, and when you enter the door, you can't get out, you can only go forward, this kid is finished. ”
Voices came from the mouths of those standing on the platform, and their eyes looked at Xiao Chen as if they were looking at an idiot, a dead person.
Anya looked at Xiao Chen with some regret, and persuaded: "You give up, except for the fire system, the other law bodies are very suppressed, and there are still many difficulties ahead, you still wait here for the end of the assessment." ”
Xiao Chen shook his head, his expression unchanged, and said, "How do you know that I can't get through?"
Xue Wei Xuerui was also a little unsettled by the voices of those discussions, but they still trusted Xiao Chen very much, and said, "Sister Anya, I believe that the young master will definitely pass the assessment!"
Anya stopped talking, she and Xiao Chen didn't know each other, and since the other party didn't listen to persuasion, there was no way.
She turned and looked at the timber bridge in front of her.
More and more people gathered on this platform, and no one easily walked on the wooden bridge, because the wooden bridge stretched to infinity, covered by countless flames and smoke, and there was no end in sight, and below was the abyss, the lava was tumbling, as long as it fell, there was absolutely no way to live.
These people are all waiting here, looking at each other, muttering, but no one goes up, obviously, because they don't want to be the first "guinea pig".
No one knows what lies ahead, it can't be such an iron-locked wooden bridge.
After waiting for a while, a person finally jumped out, this is a bald mage, with a majestic figure, he sneered: "It's all things that are afraid of death, you wait, time doesn't wait for you, it's only a little more than an hour before the fall, if you don't find the exit, you will fail the assessment." ”
As he spoke, he came to the top of the chain bridge and stepped on it.
The chain bridge shook slightly, the bald mage took a deep breath, and stepped on the other foot, only half a meter wide chain bridge, people stepped on it, both sides were empty, and the roar of the lava below was absolutely daunting.
The bald mage's face changed slightly, but he was very bold, and he walked forward step by step, the rope trembling slightly.
Those on the platform saw that the bald mage had walked out, and they also scratched, and with the first one, it was easy for those behind to make up their minds. Moreover, the bald mage's words really touched them, time waits for no one, if they don't find the exit before the fall, then the assessment will be considered a failure, and if they want to enter the inner courtyard, they will have to wait for next year, a year, and they can't afford to wait.
"Up. Then another little priest stepped out and stepped onto the wooden bridge.
The third, the fourth...... As more and more people walked onto the bridge, those who waited became anxious.
The first bald head has already walked a hundred meters, and there is nothing unusual about this bridge, they don't want to fall too far behind, and some people are starting to scramble to get on the bridge.
"Grab what!" the two suddenly quarreled at the bridge.
"I'm the one who went first, what are you robbing? Not to be outdone, the other was not to be outdone.
The two people quarreled a few times, suddenly, a violent firelight rushed up, one person, actually shot, the other person was caught off guard, only had time to emerge a piece of flame protection, he just wanted to resist, was seized by the other party, several continuous flame magic bombarded out, constantly retreated, stepped on the air, fell off the platform, and fell into the lava with a scream.
This sudden battle made the atmosphere tense for a while, and many eyes shot at the long-haired, slender-eyed mage who had just killed.
"What do you see, haven't you ever seen a killing?"
The brown-haired mage coldly swept the people next to him and walked onto the chain bridge.
No one was upset about the man who had fallen into the lava, but everyone was nervous and secretly accumulating mana to prevent others from sneaking up.
Anya glanced at the twins and found that Xue Wei Xuerui didn't say a word, and she didn't seem to be very shocked, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised, she originally thought that the little girl of the twins' age would either be scared, nervous, or sympathetic to the mage who fell into the lava.
I didn't expect the two little girls to be so calm.
But she didn't know that the two little girls had grown up long ago after many deceptions, dangers, and cunnings in the horrors of the night forest.
Seeing that, there are not many people in front of me.
"I went up. At this time, Anya said a word to Xue Wei Xuerui and walked on the iron rope wooden bridge.
"Let's go too. Xiao Chen and Xue Wei Xue Rui said.
"Okay, young master. ”
After Xue Wei Xuerui stepped on the iron-locked wooden bridge, Xiao Chen also walked on the wooden bridge.
At this time, on the iron-locked wooden bridge, there were more than a hundred fire-type mages lined up in a long line, and the bald mage was at the front, and Xiao Chen fell last.
As the procession progressed, the entire chain bridge began to shake, and the surroundings began to get hotter and hotter, and thick smoke filled the surroundings. The temperature has risen to almost hundreds of degrees, in such an environment, all the fire mages began to emit red light around their bodies, Xiao Chen has to bear more pressure, he is a wind mage, his resistance to fire is very low, and the blue light around his body is much thicker than those fire mages, he can only use ten times more mana than them to resist these scorching heat.
In this long procession, not everyone is so bold, facing the abyss, the lava Jedi is like water.
As it gets deeper and deeper, the shaking of the wooden bridge inevitably gets bigger and bigger, more than 100 people, walking on a narrow chain bridge half a meter wide, you can think that the subtle vibrations brought by everyone walking will accumulate and form a chilling vibration.
From time to time, someone in the team was shocked and squatted down, holding the wooden bridge and turning pale.
Someone began to curse quietly, but soon they realized that it was absolutely impossible to retreat.
Because there are always people behind them, and on the half-meter-wide wooden bridge, only one person is allowed to pass, how to retreat, this is a road that must be walked forward. The faces of the people who squatted down turned pale, and the people behind them cursed and urged angrily.
At this moment, in the void, a sudden wave of fluctuations came out, and a red elemental ripple was distorting, gradually forming a basin-sized elemental vortex...... Quack, an arm-long flame bird hissed out of those twisted waves and swooped towards the chain bridge.
"Flame Raven!" someone exhaled urgently.
The flame crow swooped down on a person in the middle of the team like lightning, and the man hurriedly blessed the magic shield on his body with mana, boom! The flame crow crashed into the person, the red light kept fluctuating, the explosion sound, the fluctuation of the air flow, made the chain bridge shake violently.
In an instant, almost everyone was unstable on their feet, and hurriedly squatted down and grabbed the bridge deck.
The mage who had been hit by the flame crow leaned back and lost his balance, and he fell down, and when he fell, one of his feet was stuck between two planks, and his body hung in the air and shook violently, crying out for help.
"Don't move. Several people around the priest yelled.
They noticed that the priest hanging on the bridge was moving violently, his upper body turning up, trying to climb up, but his movements made the already unstable chain bridge sway even more.
Where can that mage manage so much, the strength of the mage is not big, hanging like this, he can't hold on for long, he desperately wants to climb up, and at the same time shouts in his mouth: "Save me, save me!"
He twisted his body and struggled desperately. The bridge moved even harder, and the faces of the people around him turned blue.
One of them had a flash in his eyes, and a burst of fire slammed out, shouting, "Kill him!" or everyone will die." ”
The Burst Fire Serpent slammed into the mage who was writhing vigorously in the upper half of his body, shattering the magic shield on his body, and howling miserably, "You ......"
However, before he could finish speaking, several more flame magic roared and bombarded him.
Several magic bolts exploded on him, and after the flames dissipated, the upper body of the person hanging there was burned, leaving only one leg stuck in the middle of the plank, shaking slightly.
Around the broken leg, several priests wiped the cold sweat on their heads.
The mage who was the first to strike whispered, as if to explain, "If we don't kill him, we will all die." ”
Above the wooden bridge, there was a dead silence, only the sound of the wooden bridge creaking and shaking, and everyone was secretly glad to wait for the bridge deck to stabilize while throwing disdainful glances at those few people...... However, at this very moment.
Woo~Woo~, in the void, terrifying magic shocks continued to be transmitted, and there were more and more flame patterns in the void, densely packed, and twisted elemental vortices appeared around the chain bridge.
Everyone's faces changed.
From the vortex fluctuations just now, it can be seen that this is the Flame Raven.
However, at this time, there is no longer one, but thousands.
If it was outside, the flame crow that only belonged to the two-star high-level magic condensation, everyone present could easily resist it, however, on this lonely iron bridge of the abyss, everyone's hearts swelled with a feeling of despair.
At this moment, the thick smoke and fog in front of him seemed to have cleared up a bit.
The person standing in front suddenly shouted: "Front, arrived, front arrived." ”
Sure enough, the end of the bridge appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and in front of it, thousands of meters away, was a towering stone platform.
"Rush, rush. "The first bald mage crushed a mana scroll, the first one sped up and flew forward, a thousand meters, for a high-level mage, it is not too far, they can use acceleration magic on themselves, and they will be able to reach it soon.
The people behind also reacted, blessed the magic one after another, or swallowed the potion, and rushed forward.
At this time, in those densely swirling mana whirlpools, one after another fiery red red crows also rushed out with a scream.
Red crows bombarded the people on the bridge.
"Fight!" The people on the bridge burst with mana, and while running, they released all kinds of magic in all directions, high-level mages, and control magic, which were extremely exquisite, and for a while, countless fierce fire snakes, fireballs, and flame spears flew all over the sky, colliding with those flame crows.
Boom! Boom!
The flames exploded, like bright fireworks, splashing all over the sky.
The people on the chain bridge were desperately rushing forward, and the bridge at this time was shaking very violently.
It's just that, immediately, more flame crows formed, densely rushing towards the chain bridge, the mages on the chain bridge couldn't intercept it at all, and many flame crows broke through the magic blockade and hit those people fiercely.
The violent impact finally caused some people to scream and fall off the iron-locked wooden bridge, and the screams echoed in the abyss, which was terrifying.
Xiao Chen and Xue Wei Xuerui fell last at this time, but they were not affected too much.
And in front of them, it was Anya.
At this time, Anya's whole body was in flames, her hair was dancing like a snake, and her eyes seemed to spew out a fierce red light, like a flame goddess.
Sure enough, it is worthy of the strong man who has been assessed to enter the inner courtyard two years ago.
The Flame Raven did not pose a threat to her in the slightest, but the swaying of the iron-locked wooden bridge under her feet was a bit troublesome.
Xue Wei Xuerui clasped her hands together, and the mana rippled in circles, following behind Anya, Xiao Chen was surging all over her body, only to see him on tiptoe, walking on the chain bridge, fluttering like a fallen leaf, and the shock of the iron cable seemed to form a boost to him.
The impact of the flame crow became more and more violent, and the continuous impact caused the bridge to burn brightly, and many wooden planks were ignited.
There were people who were constantly falling off the chain bridge with fire all over their bodies, some hanging on the bridge, holding the edge of the bridge with both hands, and some, frightened, were stupid and simply lay on the bridge deck, just urging the magic shield to resist the impact of those flame crows, and refused to go any further.
Some people refused to go, blocking the people behind, which naturally attracted angry scolding, and even took direct action, wanting to clear the obstacles.
For a moment, screams, explosions, and angry scolding were all in one.
Of course, some strong people burst out of strength at this time, directly crossed those people, and rushed forward quickly.
Anya said to Xue Wei Xuerui behind her, "I'm going to speed up." ”
Because the flame crows are getting denser and denser, and what is even more troublesome is that the flames in front are raging, if you don't pass quickly, it is likely that the planks will be burned clean, at that time, only the iron ropes are left, even if a strong person like Anya is afraid that it will be difficult to stand firm under the impact of countless flame crows.
Xiao Chen arrived behind Xue Wei Xuerui at this time, suddenly grabbed their waists, and said to Anya, "You go full speed." ”
Anya was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Xiao Chen, a wind mage, to be unharmed, and there was no trace of worry on her face.
She didn't know where Xiao Chen's confidence came from, but at this time, she couldn't help thinking about it, although she had some good feelings for the twins, Anya and them were only meeting for the first time, and it was already the limit to resist the flame crows for them just now, and it was impossible to put herself in danger of her life for them.
Anya nodded and said, "Be careful. ”
After that, the flame red light on her body suddenly soared by seven or eight meters, and all the flame crows were swallowed by those flame red lights, only to see that she crushed a magic scroll, and a layer of cyan appeared under her feet, and with a bang, her body had already swept out.
At this time, Xiao Chen's feet were racing wildly, and a huge cyan egg-shaped curtain enveloped the three of them.
"Let's go, you two, wait and take care of getting rid of some flying crows!" Xiao Chen said.
Directly grabbed Xue Wei Xuerui's waist and rushed forward, the violent wind flow tore through the air, and Xiao Chen's speed also skyrocketed to a terrifying point.
Hearing the violent wind howling behind her, Anya looked back and was taken aback.
She didn't expect that Xiao Chen would be holding two people, so fast, and still following her closely, and, looking at him, it still seemed to be easy.
Anya's eyes flashed, her speed increased again, and in front of her, there were several people lying on their stomachs, these frightened mages, shrunk on the bridge deck, their limbs wrapped around the iron cables on the bridge, passively bearing the impact of the flame crow.
Anya's body moved, and the volley crossed five or six meters, jumping directly over them.
At this time, she looked back and found that Xiao Chen had already arrived behind her, and she didn't even feel how Xiao Chen had overcome these human barriers.
"Interesting. She looked at Xiao Chen deeply, both shocked and incredible.
Anya began to run wildly with all her might, and as she moved forward, the flame crows became more and more dense, and Anya rushed ahead, and the impact of the flame crows was also the greatest, and at the same time, there might be hundreds of flame crows crashing into her. Her speed inevitably slowed down.
At this moment, to her left and right, two red and white ripples suddenly spread.
The strong shock made Anya change color slightly, and two red and white ripples swept out, and hundreds of flame crows were torn apart, unable to stop the ripples from sweeping at all, and two huge fan-shaped blank areas were formed on the bridge of the sky crows.
"What kind of magic is this?" Anya was shocked.
"Sister, hurry up and run forward, the Flame Raven has handed it over to us. Xue Rui's voice came.
Anya looked back in surprise and saw Xue Rui and Xue Wei withdrawing her hand.
Only then did she realize that she not only underestimated the black-haired boy, but also underestimated the two girls, and with the terrifying magic just now, the strength of these two girls was absolutely strong.
She didn't know if she could stop the magic.
Her heart was slightly astringent, she had left the academy for two years, and the current students were so powerful at such a young age?
"Sister. When she lost her mind slightly, Xue Rui woke her up with a voice.
She is also a tenacious person, and quickly nodded: "Okay, then the flame crow will be handed over to you." ”
Anya swept forward again, and this time, whenever the flame crows on both sides became dense, two terrifying red and white ripples would rush out in shock, tearing apart all the flame crows.
The densest flame crows on both sides could not form an impact at all, and only a few flame crows in front of them remained, which was not a problem for Anya at all.
Her speed was getting faster and faster, and she could always feel the violent wind behind her, and it was clear that the black-haired boy, with two people, was not at all slower than hers.
"A bunch of little monsters. Anya thought in her heart, although the other party is a wind mage, the speed has an advantage over the fire mage, but in this flame boiling environment, this gap has long been erased, the other party is still holding two people, and can still keep up with her, how strong is the other party.
Anya, Xiao Chen and the others rushed at an astonishing speed, crossing one human obstacle after another.
Getting closer and closer to the stone platform at the end of the chain bridge.
At this time, the entire chain bridge was almost burning, but this little flame was nothing to the fire mage, and it didn't take long for Anya to rush to the end of the chain bridge, jumped on the stone platform, and followed behind her, Xiao Chen also jumped on the stone platform with Xuewei Xuerui.
On the stone platform, dozens of people were already standing, all of them who had rushed through the Flame Raven blockade.
These dozens of people, more or less, were a little embarrassed, some of their hair was a little burnt, or there were a few holes burned on their bodies, standing there, Anya and Xiao Chen and others were the last to come up.
The chain bridge behind him has been completely covered by flames, and on the bridge deck, there are still people falling from time to time, but strangely, those dense and raging flame crows seem to be completely bounded by the chain bridge, and will not fly towards the stone platform.
Originally, there were more than 100 people who entered the fire gate, but at this time there were only 70 or 80 people standing on the stone platform, and at least one-third of them were unable to cross the bridge.
Xiao Chen took Xue Wei Xuerui across the bridge, which surprised the people present, they didn't expect that even Xiao Chen, a wind mage, could come over.
It's just that at this time, everyone is still a little frightened, and their hearts are palpitating, so they naturally have no time to pay attention to Xiao Chen.
What makes people even more desperate is that this group of people found that this stone platform is not the end of the chain bridge, and the other end of this stone platform is still an iron chain bridge, as if this is just a bridge pier.
The priests present who discovered this fact all burst into tears.
"What's the matter, this broken bridge is endless. ”
"The second round of assessment has never been so sad, isn't this sincere not to let us pass the assessment?"
Standing at the bridge head at the other end of the stone platform, a red-haired young priest sat on the ground and said, "I'm not over, who knows what else is ahead, I'll wait here for the end of the assessment." ”
He had lost his confidence, and the flaming crow bombardment on the chain bridge in front of him had already frightened him, and he almost fell into the abyss several times, and his bones were gone.
Compared with the assessment of the inner court, it is still more important to live in your own life.
As soon as someone set this precedent, immediately, another hesitant mage retreated.
Constantly people sat down, looking depressed, and they all gave up on the assessment.
"Useless stuff. The bald priest who had crossed the first section of the chain bridge first smiled coldly and jumped onto the chain bridge again, only this time, as soon as he got on the bridge, he began to run towards the opposite side.
"Let's go!" Xiao Chen shouted at the twins.
This time he did not fall last, but jumped on the bridge for the second.
(To be continued)
