Path of Exile Abyss.
Day five.
After leaving the safe haven, professionals such as Zheng Yu and Xu Lang had great power in the entire pilgrimage.
According to the map provided by the temple, several wrong routes were corrected.
On the way, they encountered many blocking teams claiming to be believers of the New God. Only one of them was relatively strong. Although it was known as the Desert King, it was pitifully weak compared to the Desert War God Corey.
Not even as strong as Sentinel Harold.
It was as if it appeared to create an obstruction phenomenon, and did not bring any danger to the pilgrim team at all.
However, Zheng Yu still smiled and accepted the reward of the desert king's head.
And with great luck, he opened the seventh lucky star emblem and a piece of Hex technology equipment that Zheng Yu had always wanted.
【Critical punch gloves】
[Equipment name: Critical punch gloves]
[Equipment type: Hex Equipment]
[Attribute: Critical hit chance +20%]
[Can be collectively called: Infinity Blade, Last Whisper, Pearlescent Gauntlet, Hand of Justice, Quicksilver, Thief's Gloves, Defense Breaker, Steadfast Heart, Punk Badge]
Immediately, he synthesized an Infinity Blade for the Sin Punishment Monarch.
[Equipment name: Endless Blade]
[Equipment type: Hex equipment ready-made]
[Attributes: +35% attack power, +20% critical hit chance, and now the summoned beast’s skills can also hit critical hits. 】
[Extra attribute of Hex Rune: My sword is at your command! The Storm Sword adds 15% attack damage. 】
Wearing the Infinity Blade and adding the 10% increased critical hit chance from the Assassin's Crest, the Sin Punishment Lord's critical hit chance now reaches 35%!
Five days.
The pilgrim team followed the route on the temple map at a very fast speed, with almost no setbacks or risks.
Compared to how difficult it was on the first day.
The next few days were simply the easiest level of difficulty.
However, because the number of New God believers who appeared was relatively small and their strength was not strong, Zheng Yu's level was always stuck at level 34 and was never raised to level 35.
After several days of rapid travel, they were able to see the Holy Land from a distance before sunset on the fifth day.
The speed is so fast that many professionals are worried.
Because it's so smooth.
As a result, Xu Lang directly asked Zheng Yu in the group when he was approaching the holy land.
"@正宇(summoner), is this... a little too smooth?"
Facing Xu Lang's inquiry, the first person to speak was not Zheng Yu, but Lu Chenzhi.
"Isn't it good that it went smoothly? It means we have passed the most difficult safe haven, and we can just wait and clear the customs in the Holy Land."
Xu Lang (Battle Mage): "Corey is indeed strong. Although I have the same idea as you, whether this abyss may put the most difficult ones first, but... I always feel that something is wrong."
Zheng Yu (summoner): "If something is wrong, that's right."
Zheng Yu said at this time.
Dai Junming (Alchemist): "Captain Zheng Yu, do you already know how to clear the level?"
Zheng Yu (Summoner): "Actually, Lu Chenzhi is right. The hardest part has indeed appeared at the front. Have you never doubted Corey's strength?"
Dai Junming (Alchemist): "I have doubted it. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a powerful being like Corey."
Zheng Yu briefly explained his speculation about the strength of Harold and Corey.
"To put it simply, both Harold and Corey are actually just characters created by the dreamer's subconscious mind."
"I don't think Odon lied to us about this."
"In the wind and sand field, Harold initially tested my strength."
"In Haven, Corey forced the hell out of me."
"In other words, the person behind the scenes who didn't want us to go to the Holy Land had already killed him from the beginning, but he didn't expect that we could kill Corey."
"So in the past few days, the so-called New God believers we have met have only appeared symbolically and have not caused any substantial obstacles to us."
"This shows that the people behind the scenes cannot rely solely on the obstacles created by the subconscious mind of dreams to eliminate us."
"So he gave up."
Xu Lang asked: "Do you believe Aodong?"
Zheng Yu's statement was inferred based on the dream theory mentioned by Ao Dong.
Zheng Yu said: "I don't believe in Aodong, but I believe this is a dream."
In fact, Dai Junming still holds the opposite opinion about the fact that this is a dream. He thinks it is just the hysteria of the high priest of Odong.
In other words, it was a lie by Odong to conceal the truth about the Holy Land.
Dai Junming believes that Aodong's real purpose is to let the pilgrim team go to the holy land to make sacrifices, resurrect the dream master, and use the things left by the dream master in the holy land as bait to attract outsiders like them.
In Dai Junming's view, this is in line with Aodong's behavioral logic.
But Zheng Yu smiled and took out the seven pictures given by the temple and said to Dai Junming: "The seven pictures given by the temple are telling us the real answers."
Dai Junming immediately asked: "Have you guessed the meanings of the other three cards?"
Among the seven photos given by the temple, the old man, the woman in black, the head and the back have all been identified. Currently, only the blue-eyed child, the hairy man and the middle-aged man with a broken arm have no clue.
Dai Junming thought Zheng Yu had found information about the other three photos and asked hurriedly.
Zheng Yu shook his head.
"It has nothing to do with those three."
Just when Dai Junming was a little disappointed, he saw Zheng Yu writing in the group.
"In fact, no matter what the last three pictures represent, the message given by the temple has already been expressed through the first four pictures."
Zheng Yu asked: "Where were we when the temple gave these seven photos?"
Dai Junming replied: "In the temple..."
As soon as he said this, Dai Junming was stunned for a moment.
He reacted, yes, these information were obviously photos before entering the Road of Exile. Why would it just confirm the future in the abyss?
"How did he predict these things and warn us before we entered the abyss?"
Dai Junming felt that he was a little confused.
Zheng Yu asked back: "Who told you that he rehearsed these performances outside the abyss?"
Dai Junming was stunned.
Zheng Yu posted word by word in the group: "You should think carefully about when you started dreaming."
"The dream master's time corridor is the same as the dream."
"When you are in a dream, you know what you are doing and you know what is happening, but you can never remember when the dream started."
"From the time we came into contact with the word Path of Exile, we may have... already fallen into a dream."
"And the only thing that reminds us is that this is the dream."
"It's these seven photos that have no chance of happening."
