Chapter 180: Enthronement Ceremony
After Li Xiao received the task, he frowned and said secretly.
"At the enthronement ceremony, does anyone dare to make trouble?"
The task requirement is to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony, which means that there must be a problem in the ceremony.
He was thoughtful,
"The weird promotion to the star is actually like a monk breaking through the realm, I'm afraid there are all kinds of calamities......"
He thought of Sun Shouyi, the original owner of the ancient city, who was originally going to break through the three stars.
And then it's the guy in Yingzhou who wants to be promoted by the night of the hundred ghosts,
There are also Chen Wang and Zhu Polong who broke through the four stars, and both have calamities coming.
Of course, he was the one who was in trouble with these guys.
And it was precisely because of his appearance that several people not only failed to be promoted, but also all of them were robbed.
Now that this kind of task promotion has appeared, it means that if Blood Spike wants to obtain the throne of promotion to four stars, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
"I just don't know what the catastrophe of the blood spike will be? It should be impossible for players to come in and make trouble, after all, there are already player tasks, and the player system never allows players to PK each other, so there should be other weird bosses who will come to make trouble......"
After sorting out his thoughts, he didn't dare to be careless.
After all, he didn't know what star level it would be.
If it's a four-star weird, I'm afraid it's going to be another big war.
Li Xiao frowned and thought, "If it's an ordinary four-star weird, if it's a four-star boss, I'm afraid the enthronement ceremony will be dangerous......"
Zhu Po Long Zhengshu has just been promoted to four stars, so it is so difficult, if it is a boss equivalent to the middle and late stages of Yuan Ying, then Li Xiao is really not sure that he can resist it.
But the enthronement ceremony is the key to Xuesui's qualification for promotion to four stars, and it is impossible to give up now.
"Then get ready, if it doesn't work, take it to the world of cultivating immortals, I don't believe in the big array plus the tentacle Ji, as well as my newly acquired four-star claws, plus the recently newly comprehended Dragon Soul Breaking Sky Sword, I can't deal with a four-star BOSS who is suppressed by the rules......"
The strength of the weird boss is always lower than that of the monk, and if you go to the world of cultivating immortals, you will be suppressed by the rules.
This is the reason why he has been pulling some difficult weirdness to the world of cultivating immortals.
Li Xiao looked at the players.
He guessed that these guys should have received the same hidden mission.
But these guys are too good to help at all.
However, if they hung up, it would be counted as a failure of the enthronement ceremony, so he felt that he should protect these guys.
He said, "Clown, take them out first, and wait for the ceremony to begin......"
The clown responded, and walked out of the hall with a few worried people.
Li Xiao called Xue Qing in and ordered, "You take these silver armor elites, inspect the surroundings, you must pay attention to all movements during the ceremony, if someone wants to destroy the ceremony, no matter who it is, kill ......."
Xue Qing's expression was dazed, and he should be.
Xuesui also sensed that something was wrong and asked, "Father, is something wrong?" ”
Li Xiao said, "There may be chaos at the ceremony, but you don't have to worry, just concentrate on completing the ceremony, everything is ...... to me."
Blood Spike relieved his heart, "Good father......"
As long as her father is around, she will feel at ease, and there is really nothing to worry about.
Li Xiao thought about it, and released the corpse puppet Tu Feng, and ordered it to patrol in the air, and if he encountered something wrong, he wanted to destroy the ceremony, and he would also kill him with all his might.
Then he went out of the main hall and came to a high platform that had been erected.
The enthronement ceremony is divided into three steps, the first is to sacrifice heaven and earth on a high platform.
Then the new king received a congratulatory visit from his subjects.
Finally, the new king's accession to the throne can be declared successful.
Of course, this is because the ancient city is derived from the ancient legends of the Dragon Kingdom, so there are these steps and rules.
If the ghosts in other regions want to be promoted to the four-star king level, they will definitely have different rituals and rules.
Li Xiao looked at the high platform used for the sacrificial heaven and earth that was almost about to be built, and with a wave of his hand, a pole array flag flew out.
This is what he wants to set up around the high platform to deal with the impending crisis.
After the array flags were arranged, he placed the medium-grade spirit stones into the array eye.
About an hour later, a set of Yin Heavenly Ghost Arrays that were almost equivalent to the third-order best had already been arranged.
And he was not satisfied, and as soon as his mind moved, he saw that in the sky, there was a faint nebula flowing, forming a whirlpool.
This is what he prepared in advance, if the opponent is really too strong, he is ready to ignore the manifest tentacle Ji,
It's a big deal, he doesn't want the ancient city anymore, he just needs to escape back to the world of cultivating immortals with the blood spike, leave the mess, and let the opponent deal with the gaze of the tentacle Ji body that may appear.
After seeing the nebula vortex, everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring.
Because with the emergence of the whirlpool, a depressing atmosphere began to spread throughout the ancient city.
Xue Qing muttered, "What the hell is going on, why did you let that person take things so seriously......"
He knows how strong Li Xiao is, and if he can make him pay so much attention to it, then you can imagine how serious the crisis may be.
He lifted his spirits, led the silver-armored knights, and waited for the battle.
Xuesui also felt the oppressive atmosphere, came to Li Xiao's side, and said with some worry, "Father, what's wrong?" ”
Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that my father doesn't want your enthronement ceremony to have an accident...... Remember, when the ceremony begins, you don't care about any accidents, your first task is to complete the ceremony and become the new king, and leave the rest to me, you know? ”
Xuesui nodded, "Knowing my father, I will definitely complete the ceremony and become the new king, please rest assured that my father ......"
She could see Li Xiao's solemnity, and she also knew what the new king's position meant.
If the ceremony fails, she may lose her qualification to be king forever.
And this was an unacceptable result, because she had promised her father that she would become the Crimson Empress.
If you can't even become a king, how can you talk about the throne.
Li Xiao touched her little head, "Don't worry, everything is ...... to me"
Blood Spike tilted her head and rubbed it in her big hand, like a kitten, at this moment, she was really at ease, unprecedented peace of mind.
Half a day later, the high platform was built, and all the things needed for the ceremony were ready.
This is the result of a lot of power, if you want to build such a high platform outside, I'm afraid it will take at least ten days and half a month.
Thus, the ceremony officially began.
Several strange creatures acted as sacrifices and began to recite scriptures.
Wearing a blood-red gorgeous royal robe, Blood Spike slowly walked up to the high platform amid the sound of scriptures.
All eyes were on her.
The weird people looked up, full of awe and longing.
This is the ritual of becoming a king, and as long as you go to the highest place, it represents the birth of a new king.
Several players are nervously preparing for possible crises.
They took out the props at the bottom of the box, knowing that this mission was probably a critical moment for them to get out.
As long as the ceremony can be successfully completed, they will also complete the hidden mission, and they will naturally be able to return safely.
If it can't be done, then naturally everything is not tied.
Li Xiao was also on guard, his divine sense was released, scanning everything around him.
And then until the blood spike reached the top, nothing happened.
Several players breathed a sigh of relief,
Even Li Xiao was a little puzzled, "Could it be that the catastrophe or something, I thought too much?" ”
Standing at the top of the platform, Blood Spike began to recite the sacrificial prayers that had been prepared long ago.
Her voice resounded throughout the ancient city, even reaching the sky.
Sacrificing to the heavens is naturally to let the heavens hear.
At this moment, a blood-red eye suddenly appeared in the sky.
The blood-red eyes stared at the blood spike tightly,
Blood Spike's whole body stiffened, and he couldn't move.
Immediately after, a blood-red lightning bolt slashed down.
At this moment, a yellow mountain peak appeared in mid-air, blocking the blood-colored lightning.
But Tu Feng, who had been ambushed in mid-air for a long time, sacrificed the Thousand Mountains Seal.
With a click, the mountain peak was directly split into pieces.
After smashing the mountain peak, several blood-colored lightning bolts slashed down.
But they were all blocked by a nebula vortex.
Li Xiao snorted coldly, "Pretending to be a ghost, I thought it was really a catastrophe, give me a ......."
As he spoke, he flew directly towards the blood-colored giant eye, stretched out his hand and pointed at it, a claw shadow first cut through the space, and then a sword light flew in, suddenly appeared in front of the giant eye, and a sword slashed out.
The blood-colored giant eyes actually showed a panicked expression, and shattered with a thud.
Seeing this, Li Xiao conjured up a big black qi hand and grabbed it.
However, the big hand grabbed the air at once, but it also forced out a figure that fled in a hurry.
But he saw a sword light cut through the void, and instantly appeared behind the figure, cutting it in half with a single sword.
The figure that had been turned in half did not die, but fled in two directions.
Li Xiao snorted coldly, "Can you run...... Burst ......"
I saw a black barrier appear, forming a shield and stopping the blood shadow that was divided into two lanes.
He is arranging the formation and laying ambushes, if he is still allowed to escape, then there is no need to mix.
After the two figures were stopped, they changed direction and joined together again.
At this time, everyone saw that this was a strange boss covered in blood red, like blood.
Li Xiao sneered, "I thought it would be a four-star level weird, but I didn't expect it to be just a three-star boss pretending to be a ghost, and I still made so many preparations......"
After the strange was stopped, he was furious and said in a sharp voice, "You are so bold that you dare to seek the throne privately, this is something that the Blood Throne will never allow......"
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Blood Throne? So what? ”
Listening to this strange statement, what kind of blood throne is still weird about being promoted to four stars and obtaining the throne, this makes him a little interested.
But then he thought about why he didn't see these guys when King Chen and Zhu Polong were promoted.
Li Xiao said indifferently, "Forget it, after taking you down, just use the food of memory to search for memories, why bother thinking about ......"
I saw that the dark curtain around me suddenly contracted, and pressed towards the bloody weirdness.
The blood color is weird and panicked, and he wants to escape in the form of a blood shadow, but where can he escape.
As soon as Li Xiao stretched out his hand and grabbed it, the big hand that turned into a black curtain pinched it in his hand.
With his current strength and the help of the formation arranged in advance, even the top three-star boss can be captured.
Only the real four-star weirdness will make him feel tricky.
Li Xiao threw the three-star weird boss into the Soul Eater Banner, flew back to the high platform, and said, "It's okay, keep ......"
When the blood-colored giant eye shattered, the blood spike had already regained its mobility.
She had palpitations, "Father, what are those blood-colored eyes?" When it appeared, I felt a kind of oppression that I had never felt before......"
Li Xiao said, "Then I will investigate clearly, now you first complete the ceremony, complete the new king's enthronement ceremony, remember, no matter what happens, don't care, your task is to complete the ceremony......"
The time for the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens was interrupted was not long, and the blood spike did not get off the high platform, otherwise I am afraid that it would fall short.
Blood Spike nodded in response, and then began the ritual of sacrificing to the sky.
Several players were already stunned, they didn't expect the crisis to be solved so easily.
Originally, they thought that there would be a hard fight, but they didn't need to make a move, and the weirdness around the Scarlet Queen solved the trouble.
Li Xiao hid his identity, and in their opinion, he was the strange guard beside the queen.
Several people looked at each other and felt happy.
Because after the blood-red giant eye appeared, the aura and the terrifying blood-colored lightning were simply not something they could deal with.
Even if they don't make a move, after the failure of the ceremony, their fate is estimated to not be good.
At this time, the queen continued to start the ceremony.
Several people looked around nervously, for fear that there would be another accident.
Li Xiao looked indifferent, because he knew that there was a high probability that a four-star BOSS would come, so he naturally relaxed.
As for the three-star boss, he would like to have a few more, even ordinary four-star weird, and there is no problem with one or two.
This time the ceremony went well.
When the blood spike completed the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, some figures suddenly faintly appeared in the sky.
Li Xiao's heart froze, thinking that there was another accident.
But the others didn't see it, including the blood spikes.
And there was no danger coming.
Li Xiao frowned slightly, releasing his divine sense, but he didn't sense anything.
Probably because it's too far away, or maybe those figures aren't actually in this ghost.
Suddenly, he saw that one of those figures was somewhat familiar.
If you look closely, in the huge dim sun, the distorted figure is not the shadow of the tentacle Ji's body.
Li Xiao thought thoughtfully, "In this way, there are not many existences at the same level as the tentacle Ji body, and at this time, these shadows are looming, I am afraid that it is not that they are really looking here, but a kind of heaven and earth vision similar to when a monk breaks through the great realm...... Others can't see it, I'm afraid it's because they aren't strong enough, or they haven't touched the weird rules......"
At this time, he not only faintly saw those figures, but also saw something inexplicable, landing on the blood spike.
"Does this mean that Blood Spike has officially been recognized?"
It reminded him of the strange origins he had obtained.
If you want to be promoted to four stars, you either have the opportunity to get the opportunity and be recognized by the rules, and you will naturally have the origin landing.
But if there is no chance, then you can only use the strange origin to forcibly promote, just like the Shadow Earl.
But privately looking for and buying the origin of the weird is taboo for the weird, so the Earl of Shadow was robbed.
Li Xiao saw the strange vision at this time, and the origin came, not only figured out some problems, but also realized something from it.
After all, he had refined three weird origins, and he already had an understanding of weird rules.
And now, it makes this feeling even more profound.
This will be more handy for him when he manifests his tentacles or uses some other weird abilities.
In other words, as long as he understands this, his strange way will truly reach four stars.
This is completely different from getting a four-star ability through the player system.
The abilities gained from the system rewards are like the skills of the game character.
And the weird ability obtained through perception, even if it is not up to the level of a programmer who creates skills, is at least a GM.
And Li Xiao's purpose is naturally to be able to become the person who creates the rules of the game, not the character in the game.
Whether it is in the weird world or in the world of cultivating immortals, this is his ultimate goal.
At this time, the vision that loomed in the sky disappeared, and Li Xiao also came back to his senses.
Xuesui stepped down from the high platform and said excitedly, "Father, the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens is complete, and I feel something ......different."
Although she didn't see those figures, she felt that there had been a change in her body, and there were more inheritances that she didn't have before.
This is the proof that she has received the throne of the new king.
Li Xiao smiled, "Very good, the most critical part has been completed, and the next steps are just a formality......"
The second step in the enthronement ceremony is the worship of the subjects.
The blood spike came to the top of the palace tower, and below, thousands of strange things had gathered.
These weirdness are the inhabitants of the ancient city.
Under the leadership of Xue Qing, the clown and others, many weird people began to worship the high blood spike.
"Subjects of the Crimson Kingdom, meet the new king......"
Several players who were ignorant also followed the worship.
Only Li Xiao stood aside, his divine sense scanning to prevent accidents.
But it is obvious that the sacrifice to the sky is the key to ascending the throne, as long as the ceremony of worshipping the sky is completed, there will be no calamity afterwards.
After the worship, Xuesui stood on the high platform and said loudly, "This king has announced that the Crimson Kingdom has been established, and from now on, this king will be the Scarlet King......
"The Crimson King, the Crimson King......"
The subjects cheered wildly.
At this moment, the enthronement ceremony was officially completed.
And several players and Li Xiao all received prompts to complete the task.
Several players were pleasantly surprised to see their rewards.
This is a three-star hidden mission, there are 100,000 trick coins alone, and if you're lucky, you can also get three-star props.
This is a gift package for a few players who can almost only clear the ordinary three-star ghost snake.
The key is that a few people did not contribute at all, and only participated in one enthronement ceremony, and the task was completed.
Li Xiao didn't care about the trick coin, but because he took action to avoid the destruction of the canon and caught the weird boss, he got a fragment of ability.
He smiled slightly, "Ability fragments, it's not bad......"
Originally, he was also planning to brush a few ability fragments and upgrade the Eye of the Death Curse to four stars, which was just right.
After several players checked the harvest, they were pleasantly surprised to find that they had been able to come out of the ghosts.
This is because the Crimson Ghost Snake at this time is completely under the control of the Blood Spike.
And the hidden mission they completed was the mission of the Crimson Nation.
On the contrary, the task of exploring the ancient city that I received earlier has actually been invalidated.
After receiving the prompt, several people did not hesitate and directly chose to quit the ghost.
They have wanted to run for a long time, and if they don't run now, when will they wait.
Li Xiao naturally didn't care about them.
Several people were brought in because they needed to be recognized by external forces in order to complete the ceremony.
Giving them an easy way to complete the task is also a reward for them.
After the ceremony was completed, the strangeness of gathering was gone.
Most of these weirdos are low-star weirdos, which look like normal residents, but are actually more like NPCs.
In the main hall of the palace, the blood spike sat high on the throne.
In addition to Xue Qing and the clown, there are more than a dozen consciously weird below.
These weird are officials promoted by the blood spike.
Since he is the Crimson King, he must have more subordinates.
After sealing the official, the blood spike sent everyone out.
She was deflated, "Father, it's so tiring to be a king, and Xuesui doesn't like ......"
Li Xiao smiled, "I just asked you to make the Crimson Kingdom as decent as possible, and I didn't say that you would really make this place the same as the ancient dynasty, and let you inherit the throne, mainly to let you get the qualification to be promoted to four stars, as for how you want to manage your kingdom, then it's up to you......"
Blood Spike's eyes lit up, "Really? So can I play as much as I want? ”
Li Xiao said, "Of course, but your main task is to be promoted to four stars, no matter how you play, don't delay the promotion......"
Blood Spike smiled, "Okay, I know, I will definitely be promoted to a four-star ...... as soon as possible."
She suddenly pouted again, "Didn't my father say that as long as I was promoted to three stars, he would take me outside to play?" Now it's going to get me promoted to four stars again......"
Li Xiao touched her little head, "Isn't this a plan that hasn't changed quickly, who would have thought that you would get the opportunity to become the new king so soon, after being promoted to the new king, you should have obtained many inheritances, these inheritances, it is better to absorb the comprehension as soon as possible, otherwise after a long time, I am afraid that there will be no spirituality, and the effect will be greatly reduced, so I think you should wait until you are promoted to four stars before taking you out to play......"
He sensed those strange visions and lowered the source of the strange on the blood spike.
That's why he asked Blood Spike to absorb the inheritance as soon as possible and not waste the opportunity.
Although the blood spike complained, he also responded obediently.
Li Xiao said, "Okay, there are so many things happening today, it's hard for you, you go play, and absorb the inheritance tomorrow...... I'll see what the hell is going on with that guy who came to make trouble......"
The blood spike cheered and ran out of the palace.
Li Xiao was in a secret room in the palace, ready to brew the strange blood.
That guy was like a skinned woman, blood-red and terrifying.
After Li Xiao saw it, he thought of an old man.
That's the blood of the skinning girl Luo who was cheated by him in the murderous hotel.
And the blood egg that hatched the blood spike was the high-quality two-star prop he obtained after refining Luo blood.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao faintly felt that the guy who came to the door probably had something to do with the skinning girl Luo Xue.
As soon as his mind moved, he shuttled back to the world of cultivating immortals.
In fact, in the weird world, it can also launch memory food on it,
However, Li Xiao was afraid that the guy would not be able to withstand the toss and hang up.
If it was hung in a weird world, then Li Xiao would not be able to get the rhyme of the Heavenly Dao.
After shuttling back to the world of cultivating immortals, Li Xiao didn't talk nonsense, and directly began to launch the Memory Food on it.
An hour later, the strange color of blood disappeared.
In order to search his memories as much as possible, Li Xiao did not show mercy to his subordinates.
Searching for weird memories is similar to searching for souls, and if the weird resistance is serious, you will definitely be gone.
After the bloody weird boss was killed by his soul search, although he wasted his food, there was no shortage of heavenly rhyme.
Li Xiao recalled the memories he had searched, frowning slightly,
"The Blood Throne in that guy's mouth is a huge ghost that dominates a lot of blood weirdness, and the big boss of that place, named Blood King, is actually a five-star high-level king-level weird, the reason why he will send someone to stop Blood Spike from ascending the throne is because Blood Spike is a blood weird, and he actually skipped it to become a king privately, and there is a possibility of competing with it for the origin of blood......"
In that strange memory, he also learned that the reason why the people of the Blood Throne were aware of the existence of the Blood Spike was because the skinning girl Luo Blood was also a member of the Blood Throne originally.
And the blood spikes hatched from the blood eggs it dropped were naturally divided into a member of the Blood Throne, and they could also be roughly sensed by the Blood King.
This time the Blood Spike became the new king, and without notifying the Blood King at all, it was considered a betrayal.
The Blood King would never tolerate such a betrayal.
Because this kind of new king who is not under its control, even if it is still weak, may threaten its position in the future.
Fortunately, the four-star and five-star ghost snake have not yet opened, so it can't come in person, and it can't send a four-star weird to come, so it sent a three-star top boss to stop Blood Spike from becoming a king.
In its opinion, a three-star top boss is enough to deal with the little guy who is lucky and has a chance to be promoted.
In fact, its induction is not wrong, the blood spike is indeed weak, and a three-star top BOSS is enough to kill it in seconds.
I can't stand the fact that there is someone behind it.
The Blood Monarch never imagined that there would be an over-the-top living player like Li Xiao behind him.
Therefore, the subordinates it sent to bring down the calamity were directly sent to the heads.
Li Xiao figured out the cause and effect, and thought, "It seems that in the future, we still have to let the blood spike be careful, if you are targeted by those weird eyes of the Blood Throne, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future, fortunately, the four-star ghost snake has not opened yet, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be a four-star BOSS today......"
"Blood Spike's promotion to four stars is not a matter of a short period of time, it will take at least a few years, if I am not here, relying on Xue Qing alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with those weird bosses sent by the Blood Throne to find trouble......"
"But I can't stay in the weird world for a long time, after all, the weird world can't invoke Dao Yun to enter the state of enlightenment, and if I want to improve my strength as soon as possible, I must enter the state of enlightenment......"
"In this way, it is indeed necessary to go to the ruins of the Yin Demon Sect as soon as possible, get the Yin Demon Breath Soil, and refine the clone......
Whether it is to better follow the path of the Divine Dao, or to protect the good daughter Xuesui and let her be promoted to four stars smoothly, it is indispensable to use a clone.
So for him, refining the clone is indeed an urgent matter.
