As a result, it was really as people wished, and nothing went wrong, and Xiao Jing lit all the twelve candles in the lower left corner all the way~

Looking at the time: 0:23 left.

Ha ha!

There is no danger, and it is safe to get on the base~

After she finished lighting the candle, she was about to have a good life, but before she could do it, she inadvertently turned her head to see that the first candle had somehow gone out.

"Huh?"

When did it go out?

It's a question... But that's not the point: the priority now is to get over and relight the extinguished candle.

Xiao Jing thought so in her heart, so she did the same.

Look again after you've done it: 0:16.

Well, it's ok~

This time it's finally done!

While thinking so in her heart, she subconsciously turned her head and shook her eyes from side to side: she suddenly found that the last of the twelve candles had been extinguished at some point!

This......

What the hell!

I just ordered it!

Xiao Jing is so depressed!

But there is no way, at this time, she can't blindly be stupid and entangled in 'why', if it is extinguished, it will be extinguished, and there is no other way than to go over and set it on fire?

Isn't it?

Well, it's really gone~

So she strode past the meteor in a huff, and carefully set it on fire.

Because of the 'lessons from the past', in the process of lighting candles. She didn't look at the front of her stupidly, but still shook her eyes to the other side very cautiously-

I saw a certain monster with a horse's face, and a horse's head with a total of five eyes (two on the left and right, one in the center of the eyebrows) emerging from the wall over there, with a narrow expression on its face, and its rough and thick horse's mouth was badly raised, and the three candles in front of it were all blown out mischievously.

"Wow, ahhhhh

When Xiao Jing saw it, he suddenly held his head in his hands, and almost didn't go crazy on the spot!

Immediately, he ran over like crazy, just trying to catch the bad guy Hai Bian who specializes in pranks. Who knows that the other party is also very cunning. Seeing Xiao Jing coming, he quickly retracted his head, like a fish returning to the sea, and hid in the wall again.

And this time. There are only 7 seconds left!

She hurriedly used the fire breaker in her hand to relight the three candles that had been blown out by it. Where is the time to take care of anything else?

But she was in a hurry to light the three candles. In a blink of an eye, I saw the necrotic horse-faced monster poking out most of its head from the other side, with a special expression, and looking at the candle that Xiao Jing had just lit. Nunnified its damn mouth......

"Wow wow wo

Xiao Jing was almost mad by it, and he didn't care if the other party could understand it, so he hurriedly shouted anxiously: "Don't blow it anymore! There's no time to blow it again! If you blow it again, you will blow it again."

Before she could utter the words 'it's over', she saw the bastard raise her face slightly, take a deep breath, hang down again, and then ......

Bang!!

And then there was no then.

Just at that moment, Wen Bin, who had already lit all the candles in the other two corners, and was coming to meet with Xiao Jing, saw it, and didn't even bother to speak, so he took three steps and two steps to grab it, and he didn't know where to find a heavy hammer (estimated to be distributed by the game system), and his hands rose from the bottom to the top, and smashed it on the three-dimensional horse face, and suddenly slapped it into the shape of a two-dimensional plane specimen on the wall that was sunk into half a hammer.

It just so happened that there were only 2 seconds left in the clock!

Xiao Jing was worried about this, her hand paused slightly, and the last candle had not yet had time to be lit, when she saw that a certain Wen had cleaned up the thousand-year-old scourge at a speed, she was also shocked: Ah, there is still a candle that has not been lit!

So I hurriedly went to order.

1 second.

0 seconds.

It's time!

Fortunately, it was at this time that Xiao Jing finally lit the last candle!

While!

While!!

When-

When all the candles in the third floor of the lighthouse were lit, an old and old Dahong bell suddenly hung from the ceiling (Wen Bin had glanced at it before: remember that this thing was originally drawn on the ceiling in the form of a 'floor plan'), and swayed from side to side, and in this silent night, a series of distant and loud bells rang in a far-reaching way.

"Huh?"

How, how, this is past the first hurdle?!

But, but... We only lit the candles around us, and we didn't have time to light the 'sky lantern' in the middle!

Is it already considered a pass?

You don't have to do it all over again?

Xiao Jing was so suspicious that he couldn't help but turn his head sideways, and peeked at the 'sky lantern' in the middle with a weak heart, only to find that the ancient lamp had been lit at this moment!

Huh?

It's lit!

When was it ignited?

...... Doesn't it mean that you have to light all the candles around you before you can light the 'sky lantern' in the middle?

And how can we explain this situation?

"Stupid kid!"

Seeing her confused and stupid look, Wen Bin couldn't help but stretch out a finger, scratched the girl's little nose dotingly, and explained to her with a smile: "Don't you understand? The reason why the 'sky lantern' in the middle needs to light all the candles around the first to third floors of the lighthouse is because these are its 'vitality'!"

"Huh?"

Xiao Jing blinked, and he was quite confused.

"Uh, what do you say?" Seeing the little girl's 'unenlightened' look, Wen Bin raised his hand and knocked on the door of his head with some worry, thinking about it carefully. In a more understandable way, he explained: "Let's put it this way: it's like 'charging'. ”

"The process of lighting the candles around us is actually charging the 'sky lantern'. ”

"Every time we light a candle, the 'energy' of this sky lantern is a little more, and this slowly accumulates, until we light all the candles around the perimeter specified in the mission, and it is full of energy, and it will naturally light up, and we don't need to light it manually. ”

So, according to this logic. It just so happened that we lit all the candles within the stipulated time limit. It is equivalent to lighting the 'sky lantern' in the middle at the last moment. ”

"Then the bells and drums rang out in unison, congratulating us on passing the first level, which is also a reasonable cut!"

"Oh!"

I see~

Xiao Jing understood this time.

Then, it wasn't until this time that the darkness came up. The two of them, who only cared about lighting the candles around them quickly and completing the task, finally had to relax. Take a closer look at this mysterious and eerie 'third level of the lighthouse'.

Well......

In terms of external shape. There is no difference from the first and second floors.

Well, every floor actually looks pretty much the same!

But the difference in the actual internal structure is quite large.

First of all, the first difference is that there is an additional round stone altar in the middle of this floor, which is more than half a person high. On the altar was the brightly lit 'sky lantern'.

Then the second difference lies in the ground - around the stone altar in the middle of the circumference of the abbot Xu Kai, the inner three layers, the outer three layers, full of gold, silver and jewelry, brilliant and dazzling, extraordinary!

At first, it looks like a mental hallucination: 'Oh, I sent it!', but on closer inspection:

Oh, I'll go to his uncle's! This golden lot is all the 'decorations' in the game as 'cutscenes', only for you to see, not to take (to put it bluntly: it's all virtual illusions...). ）！

“......”

A certain Wen and Xiao Jing, who comprehended this layer of 'artistic conception', finally have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the hypocrisy and petty temperament of the game developer.

Now let's talk about the third difference: it can't be taken, but it seems to be usable.

-- This is not a piece of gold, silver, jewelry, or elixir, but a piece of vine grass that stands right in front of it, can be swayed back and forth, looks weak and crumbling, but is actually strong enough to withstand a herd of bulls trampling over it and then bounce back to continue standing.

It is not always accurate to say that it is a 'rattan target': it is just a layer of rattan grass on the outside as a camouflage, but the material inside is flexible, strong, and strong, and can withstand the beating and ravage.

What is this thing for?

In such a weird and treacherous place now, how could such an inexplicable thing emerge that has nothing to do with the surrounding environment and the main plot?

Regarding this unbelievable question, Wen Bin and Yan Jing stared at each other with wide eyes, you looked at me with a confused face, and I can only look back at you with the same expression, I really can't think of a reason.

Well, but, of course, such an embarrassment is only temporary~

Soon, when they read the passage on the ceiling (this is really a veritable 'high up'... I finally realized: it turns out that the duo of gamers, who can pass the level without death in this lighthouse at one time (PS: this only refers to the 'first level' of the first to third floors of the lighthouse), can get a physical reward!

The so-called 'physical reward' refers to the real artifact prize that the owner can also sign for from the 'Diplomatic Emissary of the Floating Temple' after completing the task and exiting the game.

What is it exactly?

At this time, the "Synopsis" on the ceiling lists a total of nine options for the two of them (easter eggs with the appearance of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, white, and black), and let them draw one of them as a 'physical reward'.

Moreover, two people can only choose one in total, which is one of the rewards.

"I'll choose!"

Xiao Jing, who understood this 'unspoken rule of the game', expressed his happiness, volunteered to raise his little hand, and Mao recommended himself.

"It's 'cyan'!"

Unexpectedly, at this time, a certain Wen who was standing next to her didn't discuss it with anyone at all, and directly blurted out it thoughtlessly.

“......”

So a game of suspicion and reverie ended without suspense before it could begin.

It's not good to make Xiaoqing depressed!(To be continued......)
