For a knight, a mount is as important as his life. The scene when everyone successfully landed just now, Charlie can't forget it. He clearly remembered that when the unicorn and all the team members successfully stepped onto the platform, the man-eating flying fish strangely stopped pursuing, but seemed to be extremely afraid of the platform, and dived into the river and disappeared.

At that time, he remembered very well that all the team members, including himself, were already scarred. Although these injuries are not serious, due to the long time of the battle and the serious physical exertion, the faces of the team members are pale and terrible, and everyone is almost jumping off the unicorn at the same time, like ordinary people who have just experienced a marathon, tired and sitting on the ground and panting for breath.

Of course, including himself, even the captain Balk couldn't help but take a deep breath several times, Wuqi even lay directly on the ground and didn't get up anymore, greedily enjoying this rare rest, although Rod still remained silent, but his indifferent face also rarely showed a trace of exhaustion.

After the first step onto the platform, there was more than five minutes, and everyone did not relax at all, and everyone's nerves were tense like elongated springs, ready for a possible sneak attack. But they waited for five minutes without seeing anything unusual on the calm of the river, and then everyone was sure that the platform was safe, and they couldn't help but let out a long breath.

But when everyone relaxed their vigilance at the same time, no one expected that the river, which had once again returned to calm, suddenly became violent again. As the continuous "poof" sound continued to sound from the surface of the river, groups of man-eating flying fish seemed to go crazy, and went straight to everyone with lightning speed.

Since the unicorn is located closest to the river, it is undoubtedly the first target of all schools of man-eating flying fish.

Charlie Ren was a little far away from the unicorn at that time, and he was also in a state of complete nervous relaxation at that time, where did the sudden appearance of the man-eating flying fish give him time to react, everyone could only watch the unicorn in a painful roar, directly dragged into the tumbling river by a large number of man-eating flying fish, and finally turned into a pool of blood floating on the surface of the river.

"No!" Charlie frantically raised the spear in his hand, roared and rushed to the direction where the unicorn fell into the water, but before he could take a step, he was grabbed by a big hand, and then he was lifted into the air by McCarthy and the gun, and said, "Don't go." There are so many of them, you simply can't save it. ”

After that, he was taken away by the team members with strong reluctance in McCarthy's calm but somewhat cruel words.

The team members escaped extremely fast, and if it weren't for the wide enough mountain path leading to the higher level of this platform, they would not have been able to successfully enter the second layer after more than ten minutes of running with all their might, leaving behind the school of man-eating flying fish that were still chasing after the first layer.

However, the most fortunate thing for everyone is that these schools of man-eating flying fish did not chase all the way to the second layer, so everyone can rest in the second layer with peace of mind.

"Cheer up. Unicorn business, everyone did their best. We still have a long way to go, and we don't know how many layers there are in this treasure mountain. Let's work together. Balk saw that Charlie was still in a low mood, and after Wuqi left, he also stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder and said comfortingly.

After that, Nacollulu, Hughes, and McCarthy, who was about the same age as Charlie Ren, all stepped forward to comfort him, although Julia did not comfort, but his brother Balk had already represented himself, and Rhodes also did not speak, but his gaze was enough for Charlie Ren to see the guilt of the other party.

After more than five minutes, Charlie Ren finally calmed down the sadness in his heart after sighing lightly, and his mood was calm again, although he still had a trace of indelible sadness in his heart, but he no longer regretted it.

After being silent for three seconds, Charlie Ren subconsciously glanced at everyone, wanting to say something thankful, but suddenly found that everyone was scattered at this time, as if they were in a hurry to find something, so he asked puzzledly, "What are you looking for?"

"Channel. Standing more than twenty meters away, McCarthy, who was not far away, glanced back at Charlie Ren and subconsciously replied. ,

"Mountain road. Nakolulu, who was a hundred meters to Charlie's left, also replied without thinking.

"Let's look for it. Balke, who was more than 500 meters away directly in front of Charlie, saw that he had recovered his spirits and said loudly.

A trace of doubt suddenly rose in Charlie's heart, he got up a little dazed and looked at the mountain road leading to the first layer behind him, and then looked at the busy figures of the team members in front of him, and looked at the nearest Wuqi in confusion, and asked again: "What are you looking for?"

"The passage to the third floor. Wuqi also looked back at Charlie Ren in confusion, he was in a very bad mood now, and even a little bored. For it had taken him more than an hour without seeing any trace of what appeared to be a passage from the huge wall in front of him.

But after he saw Charlie Ren's blank eyes, he also felt a trace of confusion. However, after a while, Wuqi remembered that the other party had just recovered from his sad emotions and would ask such a foolish question, and he could understand it. So, he suppressed the irritability in his heart and said with a light smile.

"The road to the third layer?" Charlie Ren subconsciously repeated, then lowered his head and thought for a while, but after a while, his eyes suddenly widened, and he asked with some disbelief: "Wuqi, you mean, this second layer is a semi-enclosed space?"

Wuqi took a deep breath, even if he was a little reluctant to admit it, but in the end he nodded helplessly and said, "Yes." At least from what I've been observing for an hour or so, I really haven't found any way up the mountain. As for them, it's hard to say, the area I'm responsible for is a bit big, you can help me find it. I hope to discover the mountain trail as soon as possible. ”

"Good. Seeing that Wuqi's expression was unusually serious, and even there was a faint indescribable solemnity between his eyebrows, Charlie Ren no longer hesitated, nodded, and after separating from Wuqi for a distance, he also began to carefully observe and search for passages on the huge wall in front of him.

At this moment, all the members of the adventure team, including Xiao Bai, a foreign aid, are trying their best to find an exit, carefully observing the huge wall in front of them that they don't know how high the road is, they are eight people and a demonic beast are scattered very wide, and everyone pulls away from each other for more than a hundred meters, but they still feel a little powerless.

Because no one thought that the second floor of Jubaoshan would be a huge circular platform.

The area is so unbelievably large that after the test of the team members, although they don't want to believe it, they can't admit this amazing fact. The second platform is tens of thousands of meters long in diameter alone, not to mention the huge walls that stand firmly on the edge of the platform like a ring.

In the face of such a huge space, even the well-informed Balk could only sigh lightly and shake his head self-deprecatingly. Wuqi was even more stunned by such a shocking scene at that time, and even Rod, who had an indifferent temperament and had always been silent, couldn't help but whisper: "It's so big." ”

Although there are only two words, it is the most accurate description of the characteristics of this second layer. There are no Warcraft on the second floor, and the team members are guaranteed to be safe on the second floor, but as time slowly passes, everyone's hearts are not calm, but even more unsettled.

Very simple.

If this second floor was just such a huge space, then the players centered on Balk would not have felt anything unusual, at most, they just felt that this place was big enough, and they were shocked once at first, and this feeling would soon be forgotten.

However, when everyone spent more than five hours and finally carefully observed the lower end of more than ninety percent of the walls on the second floor, they once again felt the shocking feeling that they had when they had just come here.

At this time, unlike the indescribable difference of being shocked by this huge space for the first time, the team members were deeply shocked by no longer the huge circular platform space, but the walls that firmly sealed the huge circular space in it. They never imagined that these walls would not only be incredibly hard, but also so large.

All of a sudden, everyone's hearts were gradually shrouded in disappointment, like a lingering dark cloud, as time slowly passed, more and more gathered, thicker and thicker. Even Wuqi, a naturally optimistic person, had to admit that he had indeed lost his confidence. ,

Because, he suddenly found that the entire second layer seemed to be a huge basin, and the exit and entrance were the same, although Wuqi was very reluctant to believe his speculation, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally had to accept this fact depressedly.

The mood of the others at this time is not much different from Wuqi, and even surpasses it. Although Balk was well-informed, he even attacked the wall several times with his spear, but when he saw that there was not even a single crack left in the wall, he immediately shook his head helplessly.

Nakorulu tried burning the walls with fire magic, but the fireballs she unleashed exploded without leaving a trace. Julia saw that her brother's attacks were completely ineffective, and she no longer intended to try to destroy, but instead single-mindedly searched for a passage.

After Charlie's mood recovered, he thought that he could make himself feel better, but when he found that the area he was responsible for had no passage at all, only a ring-shaped, and unshakable wall, the person instantly became sad again, and he suddenly felt that his unicorn death was too worthless.

After working hard to get to the second layer, he didn't expect it to be just a scam, and Charlie Ren suddenly began to wonder if this treasure mountain really existed, or if it was just a big lie of Brahmin Tosa, and whether they had unknowingly fallen into the trap designed by Brahmanto.

These questions, almost instantly, spread in the minds of others. Rod's gaze was as indifferent as his temperament, but when he checked all the areas he was in charge of and found no passages, a slight undetectable look of unwillingness flashed on his face.

Xius was not as depressed as everyone else, as an elven clansman, his patience had always been very good, and he had not been in any irritability since the beginning of the adventure, but this time, when he was interested in carefully inspecting the area he was in charge of, but found nothing, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle together.

McCarthy, who was the weakest in the entire team, was in a more depressed and sad mood than the others at this time. In terms of age, he is similar to Charlie Ren in the team, not ranked first, and definitely ranked second, but his strength is the weakest one.

Charlie's strength is actually not much different from him, but Charlie's strength has been fully demonstrated before.

Although in the end, he let the unicorn die tragically because of his own negligence, but the team members all admitted the existence of Ren Charlie in their hearts. Because of this, Charlie Ren also gained the respect of all the team members after the unicorn's death. But what about myself?

Although the others did not say anything, McCarthy could see that except for Charlie, who was similar to his own strength, he could talk to him without any contempt, and the other people's attitude towards him had always been very cold. Even if there are people who are not indifferent, it is at most calm on the surface, but in fact, they have unconsciously despised themselves in their hearts, or simply ignored themselves.

McCarthy has a hearty temperament, is naturally fond of making friends, and is also very kind. But this kind of atmosphere is not what he wants to see, so he hopes to do something to change people's perception of himself. I also hope to get to know these players who are stronger than myself and become close friends with them.

Therefore, when Balk announced that everyone should disperse and find a passage separately, he was the one with the highest interest, and McCarthy hoped that with his own actions and the results of his own efforts, everyone would be impressed with him, and he could be as friendly with him as he was with Charlie at this time.

All of this is actually because McCarthy was identified by the teachers as a person with extremely poor qualifications on the day he stepped into the cultivator. Although his strength at this time was much stronger than that of ordinary people or ordinary cultivators, standing at the peak of intermediate cultivators, McCarthy still had a very low self-esteem in his heart.

Because he knew very well how many days and nights it had taken him to reach such a state, he had also seen the fact that many cultivators who had cultivated with him, even younger than him, had surpassed themselves in less than five years. As cruel as it was, McCarthy gradually accepted it.

Participating in the competition was just a whim, and McCarthy didn't even think that he would be a member of this adventure party in the first place, let alone that he would be friends with these people. Therefore, at first, he just often chatted with Charlie Ren, who was not much different from his own strength. ,

In his opinion, he and Charlie Ren were the two weakest in the entire team, and the others were not from the same life as them, so he didn't have any feelings about the cold eyes and ignorance of those people at first.

However, when he saw that Charlie Ren gave his all, and was respected by those strong people in the end, and really became one of them, and was accepted by these strong people, he also had the first time that he wanted to be accepted by the strong like Charlie Ren, which seemed unrealistic to him.

So, from the very beginning of Balk's announcement of the search for the passage, McCarthy took the initiative to request the area with the largest area to be explored. He wants to do something to make everyone accept himself and respect himself, only in this way can he really come out of the shadow of inferiority.

However, when he finally carefully investigated the area he was responsible for, but found no trace of the passage at all, his heart suddenly seemed to have received some kind of huge blow, and his face became as pale as snow in discouragement, and for a moment, he actually had the urge to cry.

His hands hung weakly from the last wall, and the person knelt on the ground as if he had been drained of strength, and McCarthy's eyes were full of irrepressible unwillingness and sadness. His body gradually fell to the ground, lying motionless on the cold ground, like a dead man, as if his heart was crushed by a huge mountain, and the dullness almost made him breathless.

"What the hell is going on with me? Why have I been so useless since I was a child? I worked hard to cultivate, but I was easily surpassed by my classmates who practiced with me. is so big, he is almost forty years old, but he has never even been in love once. I want to do a good job for my father and mother...... Hehe...... Maybe I'm destined to be an idiot who won't succeed in anything. ”

If McCarthy's life is full of failures, then those before were accumulations, and now, he has such a strong desire to succeed and help his partners get out of the predicament, but in the end he still failed, this is a fuse. A powder keg that had been suppressed in his heart for too long was enough to ignite in an instant and explode.

McCarthy calmly looked at the foggy, impossible to see clearly, and said with self-deprecation.

His words were very short, and after he finished speaking, he subconsciously shook his head, and then his eyes immediately showed the impulse that only a suicidal person can have, raised his right hand, aimed at the heavenly spirit, and turned his head to look at the cold face in front of him with the mentality of looking at the most rearly in the world, without a trace of life, I don't know how high the Dao is, but after completely shattering the wall of his hope and sustenance, he closed his eyes and fell without hesitation.

He felt that his existence was meaningless.

But just as his right palm was about to collide with his own heavenly spirit, the last image in his mind just now suddenly appeared in his mind like lightning, and the next moment, McCarthy's palm suddenly stopped in the air only three inches away from his heavenly spirit, without any warning, as if his hand had suddenly entered the winter and was completely frozen.

"Seam!?" McCarthy's eyes widened, and he suddenly moved forward, sticking to the junction between the ground and the wall, and carefully looked at the small crack like a thin line under the wall in front of him, which was what he had just seen in his mind, a very slender but if it was not carefully taken to the extreme, it would never be able to be found.

Almost moments later, McCarthy's face suddenly looked like a flower blooming in the sun, and the depression and loss on his face were swept away, no longer sad, only surprises that had never appeared. Gradually, a happy smile appeared on his face, and then, the smile instantly expanded into a big smile looking up to the sky.

"Great! I've finally found it! If it's really a wall, why is there a small crack under the wall here? I see!"

After he laughed twice, his eyes lit up and he looked at the slit under his feet, took a deep breath, and ran his physical energy to his hands, and then his body quickly bent down, and his ten fingers buckled the crack that was only as thin as a fingernail, and suddenly lifted it up, and at the same time let out a loud shout with all his strength: "You get up for me!"

"Boom!" The whole ground shook like an earthquake, and Wu Qi and the others were attracted by this loud noise, and looked towards McCarthy's direction, and almost instantly, everyone's faces were wonderful at this moment, some were stunned, some surprised, and even more incredible and incredulous.

But no matter what it was, when they saw McCarthy raise his hands and let the wall in front of him, which could not even play a role in attacking, rise directly and open in front of everyone's eyes like a stone door, everyone's hearts were extremely excited, happy and full of gratitude and appreciation for McCarthy at this moment.
