The third floor, the sacrificial area——
There were also twelve exits on the second floor of the Trial Ground, and Fang Plover also chose the third one. However, they still did not encounter anyone from Silver Vislan when they passed there, and the golem guards were also lifeless and inactive.
He was also a little strange. In theory, the people from Silver Vislan should have entered the trial ground earlier than them. Of course, unless the other party really didn't even want to activate the golem guard, but that would not be aboveboard, but some Pedantic.
The third floor of the ruins is dominated by a thick red color, which resembles the blood shed by thousands of skeletons. There is even a real pool of blood in the center of this floor, housing the souls of thousands of slaves.
But the blood pool there has now dried up, the blood has turned into ashes, and the bones are everywhere, creating a dark and gloomy scene.
Starting from this level, the enemy's strength has been significantly improved. Both the Blood God Priest and the Wailing Ghost are level 12 undead, and the latter is even more difficult to deal with. It looks like a bloated floating corpse with a pale face. Pale, with dark eyes, his appearance is unimaginably vicious.
Legend has it that the priests of Xinthas created this monster by using vicious spells to bind the souls of their enemies under an eternal curse. Of course, this kind of magic has been lost long ago, and what Fang Plover and the others saw was just a phantom created by Toragotos.
The howling ghost has no physical form. Although it is bloated, it moves quickly and elusively. You can't tell when a hollow face will emerge from the floor, sky guard and wall, and attack the team. It is hard to guard against.
Therefore, the pace of the group inevitably slowed down.
In the long blood-colored corridor, Tenaric swung his tail and threw it with all his strength. The spear in his hand screamed and cut through the air, nailing a blood god priest to the wall.
The latter screamed with his teeth and claws, but his gray eyeballs quickly became dim, his knotted muscles shriveled up, and the blood flowing down the spear shaft seemed to evaporate and turned into dust, falling rustlingly to the ground. Land, nothing is left in the end.
Box walked over and rubbed his fingers on the ground, picking up a layer of dust, looking a little surprised.
Teneric pulled back the spear with all his strength. It felt a little bored by this kind of enemy. He turned around and asked, "This is already the third level. How long do we have before we can catch up with the people in front?"
"Starting from the third floor, the rules of the trial are different," Fang Plover recalled the rules and replied: "The ten entrances on this floor all have corresponding keys. The ten lord monsters hidden on this floor On this level, the identity of the leader and the latecomer is blurred, because the first mover must find a way to open the door, while the latecomer can enjoy the convenience they bring.”
"Of course, the rules for guarding the golem still exist."
"Then what do we do?"
"The best choice is naturally to be the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind. If the Red Team Jeffrit and the Blood Oath people are killing the lord monster on this floor, we can seize a key from them. , that would be the best." Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied: "But that's too ideal. The other party may have already passed this level, and we may not be able to meet them."
"The Lord Monster only has a general area of activity, but the map is first, and the information we bought may not be reliable. However, the location of the exit is fixed. I have an idea. We can go to Exit No. 1 first. There are three nearby The activity area of the lord monster where the key to exit No. 1 is located. Assuming that the people from the Jefflite Red Team did not pass through Exit No. 1, we will return to the activity area of Lord No. 1 to ambush them."
He paused for a moment, as if to clarify his thoughts: "But if Exit No. 1 is already open, we can try to see if we can go through directly and shorten the trip. But if things don't work, we will go to trouble Lord No. 3."
After Fang Yu finished speaking, he realized that the three people were looking at him without saying a word. He couldn't help but be stunned and asked: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"Why did you think of so many things at once?" Papalar's eyes widened - although they were still two black beans: "You just seemed like...like..."
"Kind of like the incident analyst for our brigade."
"Yes, yes," Parker said loudly: "That's the one. Speaking of which, it was also the same last time in Dolifen. It looks like it was carved out of the same mold as the analysts I saw on TV."
"A bit like Ta-Kuka," Tenaric replied. "He's our clan's medium, or in your human terms, a star seer and spiritualist."
Fang Yu scratched his head. He just analyzed it based on the existing clues, but he really didn't think he was very powerful.
"Then let's do it," the Lizardman Prince glanced at him and nodded: "You still have the final say, my human brother, just like in our clan, the opinions of psychics and prophets always have authority. of."
"Besides, you are still the Dragon Chosen——"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but open his mouth.
He really wanted to say that the Dragon Chosen One you think is actually Miss Tata who lives in my head. If Tenerik knew that the other party was just a little goblin, he didn’t know what he would think.
Of course, he would not do such a death-seeking thing.
This was the first time they chose Exit 1. It was on the central axis passing through the third-level sacrificial area, near the dried blood pool. After thousands of years, the musty air still seemed to be filled with the illusion of the smell of blood.
On this road, the plover was keenly aware of a detail. Although the route leading to Exit 1 was the shortest path, the strength of the monsters on this road was obviously a higher level. It seems that the requirement for strength is always the first priority in trials, which is consistent with Toragotos's choice.
I don’t know how many blood god sacrifices and howling ghosts were done before the four of them arrived at their destination. The monsters made up of illusions were refreshed in real time, so there was no such thing as picking up the previous ones.
Exit No. 1 is no different in shape from the exits on the previous floors. It is still a rotunda and a teleportation altar, which is somewhat similar to the one Fang Plover saw under the elven ruins.
As expected by Fang Plover, the teleportation altar had indeed been activated, and the Jeffrit red team had to take the first step.
But just as they were about to step onto the altar, there was suddenly a rustling sound in the darkness.
Before Fang Plover could react, Tenerik reached out from behind and pulled him into a crack in the wall. Apart from him, Parker and Box were all agile professionals in the team, and they reacted quickly. They all hid in the hiding place and hid behind the shadows.
The second-year boy took out a dark crystal from under his high collar and threw it in front of everyone. Instead of falling to the ground, the crystal was suspended a few inches high.
The crystal flashed with a dark light, forming a dark curtain wall that silently enveloped several people.
Although Fang Plover's reaction was not as fast as his, he still recognized it. It was a type of shadow crystal - smokey quartz. Its main function is to block sound and light. In the hands of a magician, it is a more powerful magic weapon. Guide magic.
It not only absorbs sound from the inside, but also amplifies it from the outside.
Sure enough, there were clear, clattering footsteps on the shadow wall, which was a bit chaotic. "Seven people." Parker listened carefully and concluded that the middle boy was only a moment slower than him, and he couldn't help but look at the Papalar in surprise.
When Parker saw this, he was about to brag about his glorious history, but Fang Yu was already familiar with this trick and casually took out a piece of compressed biscuit and stuffed it into the guy's mouth. The Papalar people immediately puffed up their cheeks, and the only sound left was a clanging sound.
Fortunately, the shadow curtain wall completely absorbed the sound from this side.
In the darkness, those people have come out, very conspicuous white clothes and white robes, silver armor, holding halberds, or carrying swords and shields, wearing gorgeous flying-wing helmets.
Such a conspicuous equipment style allows people to recognize their identity at a glance - Silver Wisland.
When Fang Yu saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. He actually met the other party in this place. So how did they miss him before?
The Silver Vislan people were getting closer and closer, and the four of them held their breath subconsciously. Even the most arrogant Papalar people did not dare to make any mistakes at this moment. The shadow curtain wall is not omnipotent, not to mention that the other party has an extraordinary origin.
The other party stopped not far from the shadow curtain wall. Fang Plover glanced in that direction covertly. The Silver Vislan people seemed to be sizing up the altar, and then a familiar voice said:
"The Jefflite red team has passed by," Fang Plover recognized that the owner of the voice was the Princess of Silver Vislan. She said, "We are still a step too late. We must think of a way. We must not let anything go." They got the next obelisk.”
Fang Plover's heart trembled.
He was still worried about the black obelisk.
But as expected, none of these big guilds were fuel-efficient. These people actually came for the obelisk. He remembered Sophie's behavior in the hall and couldn't help but secretly said something cunning.
Who says Silver Vislan can't lie?
Although the other party did not lie, the woman was obviously misleading them at the time, making him almost think that the other party participated in this trial for a generous reward.
Fortunately, they arrived at this place first. But Fang Plover also became more and more curious about what secrets were hidden behind the obelisk that made these great guilds so obsessed with it.
Behind the disappearance of Tingyuzhe's senior management, it seems that it is indeed related to this matter.
But at this moment, Sophie pulled out her long sword and glanced in the direction of Fang Pliong and the others with some confusion. The latter was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and almost froze in place, but a muffled sound came from the darkness, attracting everyone's attention again.
"Golem guard." Sophie looked in that direction, immediately judged the source of the sound, and said: "Get ready to fight!"
There was a sound of swords being unsheathed.
