Although all of these mechanisms were shattered, Joshua found himself still unable to get out of the first floor of the Temple of Flames. The two broken "shields" were put together again and launched a new offensive against Joshua. The "hammer" that had fallen to the ground after smashing the "long sword" was also suspended in the air again, ready to launch a counterattack against Joshua.

"Oh, it's endless!" Joshua raised his sword to withstand the shield's attack, and the sparks flew in front of Joshua as the shield whirled violently against the sword.

"Haha, Knight Geraint, you seem to be a little absent-minded, you sent me a knight at the beginning?" Arthur gently let go of Geraint's "knight" with "Bishop", "Are you still worried about the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

"By the way, Lord Arthur, you just introduced the mechanism of the first layer as I did, and if Joshua can get along with it, what will be the next challenge for him?" asked Gerante casually.

"Let's go back to chess, I'll tell you as we play, Knight Geraint!" Arthur tapped the board.

"By the way, I smashed those swords with that sledgehammer-shaped mechanism, but the shield was pierced by my own sword. Hammers, swords, shields, this is indeed a knightly game often played by children on the continent of Gaia. Joshua thought to himself, "Since a hammer can smash a sword, the other two things need to be broken by the mechanism itself." ”

Joshua had an idea, and hurriedly rolled on the spot, picking up the half-broken "long sword" on the ground. As the shield flew by, Joshua saw the opportunity to leap to his feet and plunged the tip of his sword into the center of the shield from underneath the shield. The shield stopped turning instantly after being stabbed by the long sword, and Joshua quickly picked up the broken sword with his other hand and stabbed the other shield. He held the two shields in his hands like a skewer of meat. By this time, the hammer had already flown in front of Joshua. Joshua hurriedly tilted the shield with both hands and gathered the fighting spirit between his hands. I heard a loud "bang", and the hammer slammed into the shield. Since the shield had been pierced by the sword, the original crack reappeared and began to slowly shatter after being hit by the hammer, and the hammer disintegrated directly in the air and became fragmented.

"It's all settled!" Joshua breathed a sigh of relief. He finally passed the trial on the first floor of the Temple of Flames and made his way up the stairs to the second level.

Arriving at the second floor of the temple, Joshua found that the structure inside was very different from the first. The mountains and rocks in the level are very irregular, and there is a secret cave in the corner of the floor. From the outside, this secret cave looked very inconspicuous, and it was exactly the same as the wild caves Joshua usually saw in the mountains, and it was not the slightest bit eye-catching. Even more strangely, Joshua couldn't find the staircase to the third floor, so he decided to go into the cave out of curiosity.

Joshua cautiously walked towards the entrance of the cave, which was completely natural, and was covered in dark red rocks, with no traces of artificial drilling. Joshua walked into the cave and looked at the walls on either side of the cave before continuing inside. But after only a dozen paces, Joshua stopped, for the road in the cave was so winding that after one or two corners, it was pitch black nearby.

Joshua frowned, reached into his arms, and the tool that Barbara had given him appeared. Joshua pressed another mechanism, and a soft white light immediately illuminated the vicinity. It turned out that the fighting spirit contained in the tool quickly emanated at this moment, and Joshua had to admire Barbara for being able to invent such a powerful universal tool at such a young age. It's just that he thinks that now that the light of the fighting spirit has been shining out, he has become a very obvious target, and it will be difficult to do it if there is an enemy sneak attack!

Joshua held the tool lightly in one hand, hesitated for a moment, and then pulled out the sword from his waist with the other hand, and then continued on his way with one foot low and one foot shallow.

The cave was no bigger than the open field, and the cave was so long and narrow that Joshua walked for half a day without seeing any signs of the end. This made him start muttering in his heart, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had fallen into some strange circle!

Fortunately, Joshua's worries, after walking a distance of tens of yards, were finally relieved. Because the road to this cave is winding, there are even many places where Joshua feels like he has walked before. But around the corner, a few red rays of light faintly shone through, indicating that the target was in sight.

Joshua felt a burst of joy in his heart, and hurriedly put the tool in his hand into his arms, and the man touched it quietly. After he slowly poked his head out of the corner, the scene before him made him very happy at first, but then secretly cried out bitterly.

Ahead was indeed the end of the cave, and it was a large natural stone hall, with many glittering lava rocks, and a staircase leading to the next floor on a small dark stone wall at the very end.

The staircase was also made of rocks, and the stairs of the rocks all curled strangely in the same direction, and together they formed a unique shape, and from a distance it looked like many ridiculous little lions hanging there, and he was amazed! Joshua walked slowly towards the stairs, but found a strange cave dozens of yards from the stairs. From the entrance of the cave, it was pitch black. But suddenly a pair of fiery red eyes flashed at the entrance of the cave......

In the hall of the temple, Geraint was still playing a game of chess with Ashur, and the first game had already reached the middle game.

"If the trials of the first level are just an aperitif, the beginning of the second level is the real challenge. "Knight Geraint, I don't know if you've heard of an ancient creature that has become extinct on the continent of Gaia. ”

"For thousands of years, there have been many interesting things circulating on the continent of Gaia, and there are many extinct paleontologies that we can only see in books. Geraint replied as he flicked his chess pieces, "There won't be some dark beasts left over from the Holy Demon War in the temple, right?" Geraint's mind couldn't help but think of the three-headed Cerberus found in the back garden of the palace.

"What are the dark beasts you know?" said with a smile, "When the Kingdom of Lance was founded, most of the monsters on the continent of Gaia were extinct or sealed in mysterious places that were inaccessible to people. ”

"I'll tell you the truth, Lord Arthur, I once met a three-headed Cerberus. Geraint nodded.

"The three-headed Cerberus is indeed a species that appeared in the Holy Demon War. But it still survives in the Demon Realm, and once the barrier between the Human Realm and the Demon Realm is broken, a low-level Demon Realm species like this will be the first to enter the Human Realm. Arthur shook his head, "However, Joshua's challenge is many times stronger than that of the three-headed Cerberus. ”

Geraint frowned slightly, and looked down to think about what kind of monster Joshua was going to face.

"The guard on the second floor is a flaming lion that has been extinct for hundreds of years......" Arthur sighed.

"What, Flame Lion?" Geraint panicked. He had read in ancient books about the Flaming Lion, a beast of great formidability. It is not because it is surrounded by scorching flames like a fire demon that it is called a flaming lion, but because the lion itself is ochre-red and has a dark red mane around its head. When the mane is blown by the wind, it resembles a burning flame, hence the name "Flaming Lion". Legend has it that it is twice the size of the lions that exist on the continent of Gaia, and can swallow a living being.

"There's still a long way to go! There will definitely be more and more dangers ahead. The Flame Lion was just the second challenge he faced. Arthur calmly observed the game, "But it took a lot of effort for Frem to pass the Flame Lion level. ”

"With Master Frem's knowledge of fire magic, it won't be difficult to defeat this lion, right?" asked Geraint.

"You're wrong! The Flame Lion also has a strange ability to devour flames. Asser fiddled with his pawns, "Frem's fireballs will be swallowed by him no matter how many they cast." Hey, I'll get rid of your vehicle first. ”

"Lord Arthur, how did Lord Frem get through?" said Geraint, raising the word "soldier."

"Uh...... It is said that he used fire dragon magic at that time, and constantly stuffed the fire dragon into the mouth of the male lion. Although this guy had a great appetite, he finally swallowed the flames that even came out of his eyes, and Frem took advantage of the fact that he couldn't see anything and walked up to the third floor very leisurely......"
