Chapter 420: The Lost Throne
Qin's exploration did not go well.
The gray-brown cracked earth emitted suffocating hot air currents all the time.
At first, it was fine, but as Bai Xiao took the lead and marched towards the depths of the earth, the temperature around him began to rise sharply, and in a moment, it made people feel like they were in a steamer.
The tribal trio is fine, each with magical powers, and is not afraid of the heat, but the students of Shengyuan will inevitably start to fall behind.
Without using magic tools and not stimulating the magic powers, even these carefully selected Saint Yuan elites would be difficult to use their physical bodies to resist the steamer.
But if you want to start using the magic power to cool down now...... This expedition lasted seven days—it was unknown how long those seven days would stretch out in the Void Ruins—and now that it had just begun, what would happen if we used up our precious magical energy?
Fortunately, this was a team action, and the Shengyuan students quickly supported each other, evenly distributed their physical strength, and barely kept up with Bai Xiao's pace. This kind of on-the-spot response and the tacit understanding of the team are worthy of admiration, but in Lan Lan's eyes, they are still full of flaws and can't bear to look at them directly.
"You're going to carry these burdens on your shoulders like this, and then drag us down even more?"
Lan Lan received 20 hateful glances in exchange for a single sentence, and although 10 quickly melted under the girl's peerless face, the atmosphere at the scene still seemed stiff.
Lan Lan was even more contemptuous of this: "A group of waste, no wonder they were pushed out as a burden, Zhou Yu really knows how to choose people." ”
Even Yuan Wei couldn't bear this sentence: "On the contrary, the speaker has selected the best talents to join this team......"
"So you're the best at that?"
Yuan Wei was speechless, although she was unwilling, but the team members didn't even hold on for an hour, and they couldn't keep up with the pace of Bai Xiao and the others—and they obviously slowed down their pace to accommodate the Shengyuan people! Under this ironclad gap, the rhetoric was really powerless.
Fortunately, at this time, Qingyue couldn't stand it, and explained: "If you are really the best talents of Shengyuan, you should be able to find that walking on this road, the closer you are to us, the easier and less effort. ”
Yuan Wei was stunned when she heard this, and immediately retraced her previous experience in her mind, and found that it was really like a clear moon shrinking.
Regardless of the time of entering the Void, the passage of time varies from person to person.
Sheng Yuan's team was divided into three rows, following behind Bai Xiao and the others, and the first to fall behind were indeed the two who walked behind, and the physique and demonic attainments of those two people should have been in the middle and upper among the 10 people!
This was a very obvious problem, but among the ten people on the scene, no one found out!
Qingyue said: "The most important thing in the exploration of the void is natural adaptability, such as Xiaobai, which can directly resonate as soon as he appears, and be dragged into the physical ruins; But obviously, this kind of talent is unique in the world and cannot be demanded, so we have to retreat to the second, may I ask, what is the second most important quality of the exploration of the virtual world?"
Yuan Wei was stunned for a moment and replied, "Observation and analysis ability." ”
Qingyue smiled: "Fortunately, the basic cognition is not crooked." In the Void Realm, cognitive ability is the most important thing compared to pure brute force, and you have just followed all the way, why haven't you noticed such a simple law?"
Yuan Wei opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to answer.
"Two possibilities, the first one, although you are nominally students, you obviously have no intention of learning, and you are purely here for sightseeing, and by the way, you will block us......"
"Absolutely not!" Yuan Wei hurriedly confessed.
"The second possibility is that although you have the intention to behave, you always have a knot in your heart and refuse to face up to the obvious objective facts......
Before he finished speaking, he was picked up by Lan Lan: "If that's the case, you guys are not as cumbersome, after all, the former won't be wronged when he is scolded by someone pointing at his nose! Flat-chested women have a good temper, I don't have the patience to wait for you to adjust a little bit, just keep up, if you can't keep up, you will die in the void, anyway, we can win by deducting ten people's points." ”
Lan Lan's words are always straightforward and poke people's lungs, and her style of doing things is the same from the outside to the inside.
said that he didn't care, he didn't care, and after finishing his words, he took the lead, and even walked in front of Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed, and as soon as his pace was fast, the entire team could only speed up to follow up - whether he wanted to or not.
Fortunately, this road did not take too long, and after about half an hour, Lan Lan finally stopped when the Shengyuan people had no choice but to use the immortal branches to survive.
Ahead, there is a desperate situation that no one can set foot in.
A blazing sun, soaked in a golden liquid, could not feel any excess temperature from the outside, but the elemental intuition from Wu Zhu reminded Lan Lan that as long as she dared to take another half step, no matter how natural her elemental affinity was, she would be wiped out.
The girl had never seen such a high concentration of fire elemental aggregates, and she couldn't imagine what kind of means could suppress this most fiery and violent power in a pool of water.
She wandered around the pool, and the bone staff in her hand sometimes leaned forward, as if to test the temperature, but in the end she was restrained by reason and did not die. Although judging from the girl's consistent behavior and style, it is only a matter of time before she dies. In a sense, she bears a great resemblance to the original poem.
And just as Lan Lan was on the verge of death, among the Saint Yuan people who followed closely behind him, someone couldn't help but be surprised: "Is this the Elemental Pool of the Flame Dynasty?"
Lan Lan looked back and saw that it was a girl with glasses who couldn't be named, so she asked indifferently, "Do you know?"
The girl in glasses nodded seriously: "It is mentioned in ancient historiography that the sign of the Flame Dynasty's heyday is the establishment of an elemental pool, which brings a large number of free elements under the will of the king, and all elemental users in the world must obtain the king's permission before they can continue to use the fire element." However, by the end of the dynasty, new powers were emerging, and even with a monopoly on the fire element, the tyrant could not maintain his rule. In the face of rebels from all walks of life, the last Flame King once tried to detonate the elemental pool and let half the country be buried for it, but the executor around him betrayed him and ...... at a critical moment"
"Okay, don't read history books, your textbooks are obviously made up. Lan Lan unceremoniously interrupted the bespectacled girl's recitation, "The executor did not betray the king, but the result of the serial explosion was beyond everyone's expectations, the furious fire element tore through the space, and sent all the subsequent elemental pools into the void at the first blast, which saved the lives of the rebels and kept half of the capital of the Flame Dynasty in the void...... This half of the ruins is what you call the Flame King's Court. ”
The girl with glasses who loves to endorse the most was suddenly stunned: "What are you talking about?" The Flame Royal Court is just a projection left by history in the virtual world, not a real royal city, you ......"
It was rare that Lan Lan didn't taunt her anymore, his eyes were firmly locked on the dazzling elemental pool in front of him, and he said softly: "Elementals have memories, and everything that happened in the past is in their eyes. ”
"But......" The Girl in Glasses still refused to give up, "If it weren't for projection, how could this elemental pool be kept intact for thousands of years......?"
This time, it was Qingyue who answered her question.
"Because this elemental pool has only just entered the Void Realm for less than half a day. ”
The girl with glasses opened her mouth wide, and she had a million questions in her heart, but she could no longer resort to it.
Yuan Wei clapped her hands and said suddenly: "Because time has no practical meaning in the Void Realm!"
But soon someone beside him was shocked: "Thousands of years have passed in the outside world, and it has only been half a day here, so we have been walking in the Flame King Court for almost two hours, don't you mean ......?"
Qingyue sighed, "Again, the concept of time and space in the real world is invalid in the Void Realm, and at present, the time flow rate of most of the Void Realm Relics is determined by the observer. To put it simply, when no one is exploring, time inside the ruins can be regarded as static, and only when external forces invade, time inside the ruins will flow. ”
After Qingyue explained it briefly, she no longer cared whether Shengyuan's students understood or not, but came to Lan Lan's side and asked, "Are you sure?"
Lan Lan scoffed at the question: "Figure out who you're talking to." ”
Qing Yue smiled, without exposing the bluff of this old opponent, and said to herself: "During the Flame Dynasty period, the core technology of the elemental pool, the core of the core lies in the word kingship, and the essence of kingship is highly similar to the power of willingness, so ......"
"I don't need you to remind me!" Lan Lan was a little annoyed, "I know what to do!"
The next moment, the girl finally stopped hesitating, and directly stretched the bone staff in her hand into the pool water, and with the spread of the waves, the fire element that was sealed in the pool water like a scorching sun also began to flow.
Lan Lan was engrossed, and a light similar to the color of the pool water was lit on the bone staff, and after a while, the fire element in the pool water began to boil violently, like a volcano about to erupt, and Lan Lan also showed a fierce face, grinning slightly, revealing four obviously elongated sharp teeth;
Qingyue frowned: "No, you are not a king, but a ......"
"Shut up!" Lan Lan's roar was already like a whistling thundercloud, no longer with the breath of a human, and the next moment, the abnormality on the girl's body turned violent, the hair on the top of her head was raised high by the ears of the two beasts, and the eyes like autumn water turned into a narrow shape.
However, this kind of violent and unruly, completely detached from the change of human form, just right suppressed the fire element that was about to erupt, and under the impact of Lan Lan's-for-tat momentum, the scorching sun in the pool gradually converged its light, and finally quietly returned to the pool water.
Lan Lan stared at the pool water, retracting the changes in his body form little by little, until finally, the two sides returned to calm.
Everything was hallucination, as if nothing had happened.
But the next moment, as the corners of Lan Lan's mouth smiled again, the girl snapped her fingers, and the sun in the pool suddenly contracted, turning into a fist-sized red light, staggering out of the pool water, lingering around Lan Lan's bone staff.
"It's solved!" Lan Lan looked at Bai Xiao with a look of pride on his face.
