Chapter 64: Re-entering the Trapped Dragon Tower
On the way to the academy, Shen Mo found that the civilians were all gathered on the street in twos and threes, their eyebrows fluttering, and they were discussing a topic in a loud voice.
"MD, did you say that the roar that came out on the 100,000 Mountains last night was the legendary dragon? I was halfway asleep last night, and I was directly awakened by this sound, and rolled out of bed. ”
"No, it should be some other demon beast, after all, the dragon has long been extinct. ”
"What do you know, the rumors of the extinction of the dragon have long been denied by some people, there are still dragons in this world, but the number is scarce, and the dragon is hostile to humans, and those who have seen the dragon with their own eyes have been killed, so some people lie that the dragon is extinct, in order to avoid those who are not afraid of death to find the dragon. ”
"And according to you, it was indeed the dragon who made that terrible cry last night?"
"Very likely! Do you remember the academy promotion tournament not long ago? Shen Mo once appeared with the rumored Black Electric Evil Tiger. One hundred thousand mountains can have a rare eighth-level peak demon beast like the Black Electric Evil Tiger, and it is also very possible that there is a giant dragon. ”
"But I heard the hunter who went to the 100,000 Mountains this morning said that the junction between the depths and the periphery of the 100,000 Mountains was almost completely destroyed, and there were corpses of white-haired roars everywhere, in addition, there were traces of battles on the scene;
"It doesn't matter what he is, in short, the dragon doesn't leave the 100,000 mountains, if it is in a good mood one day and comes to our Pingyang City to take a turn, then the entire Pingyang City will be directly turned into a scorched earth. ”
"Tut-tut, yes, even if all of us in Pingyang City are soldiers, we are by no means the opponent of the dragon. ”
When Shen Mo was eavesdropping on the conversation of the civilians, the civilians were also looking at Shen Mo's side, and when they saw Marita, everyone showed a surprised expression, and for a while they shifted the topic to Marita, and almost all of their words revolved around several topics, namely, 'This woman is so beautiful, whose lady is it, and does she have a boyfriend?'.
Hearing these words, Shen Mo laughed in his heart, and said secretly: "If they knew that Marita was the dragon they just discussed, I wonder if they would have stared at Marita so calmly." ”
Marita, who was following the silence, glanced at the civilians around her, and whispered: "Despicable human! If it weren't for me being ...... by this waste" Speaking of this, Marita's body was shocked, and she realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly changed her words: "If I hadn't been suppressed by the master, I would have burned you all to charcoal, hum!"
Although Marita's slip of the tongue was heard by Shen Mo, Shen Mo did not punish her like yesterday, after all, punishment will only make Marita obey her on the surface, but she is still dissatisfied in her heart, and if you want to make Marita truly have one heart with herself, it still has to accumulate over time.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the academy, and the dean and the two teachers were standing at the gate of the academy waiting for silence.
Since the Hundred Courtyards Martial Arts Fight is equivalent to the final exam, after the end of the academy promotion tournament and before the end of the Hundred Courtyards Martial Arts, this period of time is a holiday, and the students do not have to attend classes, so the Pingyang Academy of Nuo University seems empty.
The male teacher standing to the left of the dean is named Zhang Hanxu, and the female teacher on the right is called Shi Wenyu.
Since Shen Mo has recently become famous in the academy, he doesn't need to be introduced, and he goes to the Sleepy Dragon Tower directly under the leadership of the dean.
In the past, Zhou Jianning was in charge of the Trapped Dragon Tower, and after Zhou Jianning was expelled, Shi Wenyu was in charge.
When everyone appeared in front of the Trapped Dragon Tower, they asked silently, "Dean, the training you are talking about is not to let me enter the Trapped Dragon Tower to fight against the Trap Beast, right?"
If that's the case, where would Shen Mo still use the dean's help? Just go in alone, after all, Shen Mo is a frequent visitor to the Sleepy Dragon Tower, and he is very familiar with it.
The dean smiled faintly and explained: "Each student has their own training, you have broken through four or five layers in a row, and defeated the seventh-layer trap beast, and your strength has broken the record of all students in the past hundred years, so other training is no longer suitable for you, all you have to do is to pass through the higher levels of the Trapped Dragon Tower as much as possible." ”
"So, what is your role?" Shen Mo said as he glanced at the dean and the other two teachers.
Shi Wenyu smiled and said, "You have completely destroyed all the trap beasts on the fourth, fifth and seventh floors, do you think that once you start a war with the trap beasts, you can't do without defeating the trap beasts?"
Shen nodded honestly and said noncommittally, "Isn't it?"
Shi Wenyu shook his head: "Actually, even if the trap beast is in battle, it can be turned off. Speaking of this, Shi Wenyu stretched out his hand and pointed to a door next to the first floor of the Sleepy Dragon Tower, and said, "This door leads to the basement floor of the Sleepy Dragon Tower, and inside is the console of the Sleepy Dragon Tower. ”
"Console?" Shen Mo frowned, it was the first time he had heard of it.
"Yes, it's the console, after all, the strength of the students is uneven, and it is inevitable that there will be some students who are ambitious and challenge the high-level beasts. When she said this, Shi Wenyu glanced at Shen Mo meaningfully, as if the so-called 'good and ambitious student' in her mouth meant Shen Mo.
Shi Wenyu continued: "Trap beasts have no feelings, and once they start fighting, they will not stop unless they defeat their opponents. If the strength is not good, it is very likely to die at the hands of the trap beast. Therefore, when a student challenges a trap beast, there must be a teacher in the console, observe the battle situation, and turn off the trap beast in time if the student is in danger. ”
Then, Shi Wenyu opened the door of the basement floor and went in with silence to visit.
The so-called console is actually an empty room with a figurative hedron and a hand-pulled switch.
The Concrete Hedron is a relatively expensive hedron that is generally only available to academies and armies, and can completely display the situation of an area on the Concrete Crystal. As long as the hand-pull switch is activated, all the spirit stones will be reversed to absorb the aura, sucking away the aura on the trap beast, thus closing the trap beast.
Knowing that the trap beast could be turned off halfway, he was silent and excited.
For a long time, Shen Mo had always wanted to see the higher-level trap beasts, but because the high-level trap beasts were too strong, they would cut themselves off if they were not careful, so they had a cautious attitude and didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
And now with the existence of the console, Silent can completely challenge the high-level Trap Beast, even if he can't beat it, as long as the teacher turns off the Trap Beast, he will not be in danger.
Seeing that Shen Mo was eager to try, the dean asked, "How many floors do you want to challenge?"
In the past, when Shen Mo's strength was only fourfold in the Qi Realm, he was able to defeat the seventh-layer Trap Beast, although it was good luck, luck was also part of the strength.
Now that Shen Mo's strength has become a one-star spirit array master, coupled with the Xiaofeng Demon Breaking Sword and Vajra Protector, and bloodthirsty pursuit, the seventh-layer trap beast can no longer satisfy Shen Mo's desire to fight.
After a short period of thought, Shen Mo blurted out: "Ten layers!"
When they heard this answer, the dean and the two teachers exclaimed almost in unison: "What!"
The dean's face was solemn, and he dissuaded: "Silence, although you have won the academy promotion tournament and your potential is amazing, but the strength of the tenth-layer trap beast is the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, and the seventh-layer trap beast is simply pediatric compared to the tenth-layer trap beast, this choice is a bit too risky, right?"
Teacher Zhang Hanxu agreed: "What the dean said is right, although you have defeated the seventh-layer trap beast, but skipping the level to challenge the tenth-layer trap beast is undoubtedly an act of seeking death. Although Teacher Shi can turn off the Trap Beast in the console, it doesn't mean that he can save your life 100%, after all, if the Trap Beast with the quadruple strength of the Spirit Sea Realm wants to kill you, it almost only needs one move. ”
The dean and the two teachers had no confidence in Shen Mo, and Shen Mo didn't blame them, because they didn't know that Lu Dao had been promoted to a one-star spirit array master.
If you challenge the eighth- and ninth-level trap beasts, it may be much safer, but this also goes against Shen Mo's original intention; Shen Mo's strength today is completely trained in the brutal battle of blood and fire, and only by challenging a strong opponent can he continue to improve his strength.
Silent and firm in his choice, the dean and the two teachers could only compromise.
Shi Wenyu said: "Since you must go to the tenth floor, then I will remind you that the Sleepy Dragon Tower starts from the tenth floor, and what it pursues is no longer the test of strength, but the simulation of the most real battle; ”
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment: "In other words, the tenth-layer trap beast has weapons and war pets?"
Shi Wenyu nodded: "The strength of the tenth-layer trap beast is in the middle stage of the Linghai Realm Quadruple, and after equipping it with weapons and battle pets, its strength has actually reached the late stage of the Quadruple Stage of the Linghai Realm. So, it's too late for you to regret it now. ”
Shen Mo did not regret it, but showed an excited look, turned his head to look at the Marita next to him with his hands on his chest, and put on a look of Marita who had nothing to do with himself, showed a smile, and said, "Then I will also bring a helper!"
Shen Mo is talking about 'helpers', not 'war pets', because Marita is now in human form, and there is no such thing as a 'human war pet' in the whole world.
The dean happily agreed: "Yes, who is your helper?"
Shen Mo casually pointed at Marita: "She." ”
Marita was stunned, stretched out her finger to her nose, and wondered, "I, you have to think clearly, if you take me in, you won't be able to enjoy the battle." "The overtone of Marita's words is that the fourfold mechanism beast of the Spirit Sea Realm with strength is not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of the old lady, and it will be killed in seconds.
Of course, Shen Mo did not doubt Marita's strength, and smiled: "You watch the battle from the side first, I really can't hold it anymore, you go up again." ”
Hearing this, Marita didn't answer immediately, but rolled her eyes, and then showed the expression of a ghost elf, and said: "In this case, then we might as well directly challenge the twelfth-layer trap beast, anyway, with me, I won't let him hurt you." ”
Shen Mo felt that Marita's words were very right, and he was about to agree, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized something, and then his eyes narrowed, revealing a shrewd light, and mocked: "You have a beautiful wishful thinking, trick me to the twelfth floor, and let the trap beast kill me directly, and then I and the teacher will not be able to react, and as soon as I die, you will be free, hehe......"
The little plan was seen through by Shen Mo, and a flash of embarrassment flashed on Marita's face, and when she heard Shen Mo's laughter, the expression on Marita's face froze, and there was a look of fear in her eyes.
The reason for the fear is that every time Shen Mo wants to punish Marita, he sneers twice like he does now.
Marita instinctively made a painful appearance, but after waiting for a long time, the soul attack that frightened her did not appear, and when she looked at Shen Mo, she found that Shen Mo was staring at her with a playful expression.
Actually...... I was actually tricked by him!
