Chapter 471: Dragon Castle opens
Thirty-six selectors stood out, plus fourteen recommended places, for a total of fifty Mosoblay City fighters, and the dust finally settled.
There were no grand ceremonies, no cheering crowds, and two days later, the fifty warriors, led by the great elders and priests of their respective clans, quietly arrived in a canyon four hundred kilometers away from the city of Morsoblay.
This canyon is called Snake Ridge Valley, and from a distance, it looks like a huge long snake coiled in the depths of the dark region.
From the canyon, from time to time, there will be bursts of cold wind, cold to the bone, which is mixed with all kinds of impurities.
The concentration of dark magic is very abnormal here, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes as rich as a demon vein spring, and sometimes as low as a forbidden demon area.
Even Midi, who was accustomed to drawing darkness from dark magic, did not dare to make a mistake in this mysterious area.
Except for the fifty fighters, only the heads of the selected families, the great elders, and the priests who were qualified to come to this Snakespine Valley were not many in total.
But less than two hundred people are the elite, powerful, and top-of-the-line rulers of Morsobre.
Only these people can really go deep into the most valuable area of Mosoblay City.
The heads of the Death Scorpion, the Red-Blood Bat, the Flame Serpent, and the Two-Headed War Wolf had all arrived in advance, and the Black Dragon High Priests such as Verna also appeared here at the same time.
Without any extra courtesy, the priests immediately chanted complex and esoteric incantations at the same time.
Then, in the depths of the Snake Spine Valley, along with this subdued spell, one rune after another was gradually revealed, which had been engraved on it at the cost of countless manpower and material resources hundreds of years ago.
A huge dragon head appeared directly above the Snake Ridge Valley.
But unlike the blood oath that Midi was familiar with before, this time the dragon head did not simply watch from above, but let out a low and terrifying dragon moan.
Then, Midi suddenly noticed that something seemed to have entered her body with the dragon's chant.
Midi closed her eyes and looked inside, and suddenly saw that there was something that seemed to be a broken token, sinking inside.
"This is the Black Dragon Remnant Order?" Midi couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Before, in the sea of clouds in the sky, when Midi entered the "Labyrinth of the Mind", there was a similar scene.
However, when entering the Labyrinth of Minds, the "token" that enters the body is a prop set up by the Eighth Apostle Lotus to calculate points and status.
But at this moment, the "Black Dragon Remnant Order" that entered Midi's body did not have any function of calculation and monitoring.
Its only use is to allow the owner not to be directly excluded by the small realm where the Crystal Dragon Castle is located.
In other words, only those who have been beaten into the "Black Dragon Remnant Order" in their bodies can enter the Crystal Dragon Castle.
However, this access is not unlimited.
The "Black Dragon Remnant Order", to put it bluntly, is just a little breath that the priests jointly begged from the Dark Dragon God.
As long as the fighters enter the Crystal Dragon Castle, this breath will begin to be consumed, if it is not replenished, then it will be completely depleted in just a few days, and then, those who have lost the "Black Dragon Remnant Order" will be directly teleported out of the castle, which is considered the end of the exploration.
In addition, this "Black Dragon Remnant Order" is only valid for people under the age of thirty, and once one is accepted, no second one will be awarded.
As a result, a fighter only has one chance to enter the Crystal Dragon Castle, and there is no possibility of restarting it.
Now, Midi has the Black Dragon Remnant Order in his body, which means that his entry into the Crystal Dragon Castle is already a sure thing.
It's just that how long he can stay in it depends on his own ability.
Do you want to work as a team, or do you want to be a lone ranger?
Or is it hiding in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity for cranes and mussels to compete?
Every qiē needs to be improvised.
And while Midi was thinking about it, the dragon head had already granted the "Black Dragon Remnant Order" to all fifty fighters.
Then, it let out a long whee again.
In the midst of this sound, the entire Snake Ridge Valley began to change.
The canyon, which was originally bottomless, now gushed out countless rays of light from the bottom, like a rising tide.
Through this light, Midi could faintly see that on the opposite side of the light, there was a huge forest.
There, in the middle of the world!
Soon, the white light of the Snake Ridge Valley gradually stabilized, forming a huge whirlpool.
"The entrance has been secured, all the fighters of Mosoblay City, please. The head of the Scorpion of Death, the speaker of the city council of Mosoblay City, glanced at everyone present and said in a loud and deep voice, "I sincerely wish you all to pass the test smoothly and become the top fighters, and then, for the sake of Mosoblay City, enter the Black Dragon Conference!"
The four words of the Black Dragon Conference, as if it had magical power, made the eyes of the fighters light up.
"Let's go inside!" shouted the head of the Red-Blood Bat.
With this sound, one after another Mosobre City Warriors jumped from the edge of the cliff in the Snakespine Valley, fell directly into the light, and then disappeared into it.
Midi jumped down as well.
At the moment of passing through the white light, Midi felt a surging sense of oppression spread throughout his body.
This is exactly what it feels like when you pass through two different dimensions, and it is commonly known as "interdimensional pressure".
And the more obvious this feeling of pressure is, the greater the energy of the small realms connected to the Overworld.
Obviously, although it is only a "Dragon Castle", the world in the Crystal Dragon Castle is definitely not small, and it may even be self-contained, and it is definitely not comparable to the single inheritance that is artificially set up at first glance in the Mind Labyrinth.
The next moment, a lilac glow appeared in front of Midi.
It's a vast forest.
However, it is not the green forest of the continent of Arad.
The grass and trees here are all made of lilac crystal-like substance, which are connected together to form a huge sea of trees.
And from these crystals, Midi could feel a powerful and surging aura mixed with dragon power, diffusing to the outside world.
Now he finally understood why this small realm controlled by Mosoblay City was called the "Crystal Dragon Castle".
Midi looked around and fully unfolded his psychic ability, Half-View Sense, but found no sign of the other fighters.
That's to be expected, though.
Unlike the teleportation circle in a fixed position, when passing through the small realm, the dimensional wind will blow everyone to a different landing point, and a small deviation may cause people to be hundreds or even thousands of kilometers apart after entering the small realm.
Fifty fighters sprinkled in this sea of crystal trees are simply a drop in the ocean, and the chance of seeing each other is very small.
In addition to the five core disciples of the Scorpion of Death this time, there are also three fighters who have been selected to win by Tongguò, making a total of eight people.
According to the strategy formulated by the family's higher-ups, after entering the Crystal Dragon Castle, the eight fighters must try their best to identify the location, and then look for the entrance to the "Dragon Tower" buried underground in the Crystal Forest.
Then, the eight of them should gather at the entrance and work together to break into it, so that they can go further and deeper by taking care of each other as a team.
And only by going farther and deeper can there be a greater chance of obtaining more resources, as well as the "Black Dragon Stele" that the Death Scorpion Family most desires.
However, now that she is here, of course Midi will not act so simply according to the strategy set by the family.
Because it only represents the interests of the family, but it does not represent his own interests.
Fifty-man fighters, if they can form a team of eight, can definitely be regarded as a behemoth that no one can match, but this behemoth will definitely not act according to Midi's wishes.
Midi knew with his toes that as long as there was a level 67 "Fighting King" Thor, then there was no doubt that none of the other seven people would be able to make their own voices, and in the end, everyone could only act according to Thor's wishes.
Not only that, the Underground Dragon Tower is undoubtedly the focus of attention of the major families, and those most ambitious core disciples will undoubtedly rush there.
Entering the Dragon Tower means that you will be involved in one of the biggest battlefields of the Crystal Dragon Castle, and you must face strong people like Simon and Alex.
Midi is not afraid of Simon, but if he is caught in this kind of continuous battle, and it is also a chaotic team battle, it will not do him any good to improve his own strength, and he will only fall into a state of exhaustion.
At worst, he could become Thor's cannon fodder.
As a commander, Midi certainly didn't like to be commanded by others.
But if you want to have a certain voice, you must get rid of the current situation of low rank and poor strength.
Midi knew very well that he was not qualified to bargain with Thor right now.
Therefore, he didn't want to go to the underground dragon tower right away.
Instead, Midi has to find a way to get the resources in the Crystal Forest and take her one step further from level 63!
In the Crystal Forest, there are actually a lot of rare materials, but compared to those in the underground dragon tower, they are too scattered, and most of them are under the protection of Warcraft, so it is not easy to obtain, and after obtaining them, they cannot be used on the spot.
So, for the fighters who specialize in combat, such as Morsoblay, those materials are like chicken ribs.
But Midi is different, Midi has received more than just combat training, he is a natural adventurer, with twenty years of experience in rebirth and exploring small worlds.
Not only that, but now, he is also an alchemist who is proficient in pharmacy and mechanics, and many materials can be refined on the spot and consumed.
This crystal forest, which is relatively unfortunate to the warriors of Morsobre, is an inexhaustible treasure trove in the eyes of Midi.
"So, let's start hunting. Whispering to herself, Midi vanished into the depths of the Crystal Forest like a puff of smoke.
