Chapter 448 Life and Death (Two in One)
Knowing that he was tricked and ridiculed face to face by the enemy, Bai Xiaowen didn't feel angry at all. After all, when he and Li Shuyi came to the round table in the state of souls, the road they could choose was actually very narrow. Even if they knew the truth about the extraordinary game, they couldn't do much, and they still had to obey the will of the mysterious prompt.
But now, both Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi have returned to their bodies, have the ability to fight, and have debunked the deception of the mysterious notification sound without being completely fooled.
However, Li Shuyi was a little annoyed when she heard the snake girl Leona mocking Bai Xiaowen. She stopped pretending to pray and stood up beside Bai Xiaowen. Although she didn't speak, she looked at Leona with an undisguised coldness in her eyes.
Standing in the middle, the slender male snake man Gerald said: "Okay, don't waste time. Hand over the dragon's relic, join the Lord's command, and become the Lord's apostle. Resist forcefully, and only death awaits you." .”
Ludwig is a polite-looking male snake man. At this time, he persuaded him: "It's better for you to accept the transformation obediently. There are four of us, and each of them is stronger than you. If it breaks If your body is damaged, it will be more troublesome to repair."
Milo was the most irritable, and the snake letter stammered and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense with them, figure out the priority. As long as the relic of the dragon is taken back, the master's plan succeeds, and when he dominates the land with the strongest posture, he will not need many apostles." The question is, why care about how many people they have?"
Yahan drew out his two-handed epee from behind, and blocked Bai Xiaowen:
"You go first."
"Huh?" Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised.
"Don't forget... I'm a guard." Yahan pretended to be a light-hearted joke, and slashed his heavy sword with both hands. Their conspiracy about the Snake People. This is your mission as a prophet!"
Li Shuyi couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, don't be intimidated by these snake people. Although there are four of them, there are quite a few of us here... Hey, those three ordinary believers, why are you still kneeling down?" , Hurry up and fight! You have all been deceived!"
However, the three of them remained silent and motionless.
The mysterious prompt sounded a loud laugh: "It's useless, they have already fallen into my arms and become a part of the glorious evolution! Before long, they will join the ranks of besieging and killing you, hahahaha..."
After a pause, the mysterious prompt said again: "Actually, there is no need to let these three ordinary believers take action, this round table hall is my site... here,
You can't even display half of your strength! Feel the power of illusions! "
The rainbow light of the Wishing Fountain skyrocketed.
Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, and Yahan all blurred in front of their eyes at the same time, only to see the figures of Gerald and other four snake-men, who turned into four and eight, eight and sixteen, each of them was divided into four ghosts, each He swung his weapon and rushed over.
Prompt information on the rules of the spirit world:
"You are affected by the illusion of distorted light, the attack hit rate has dropped significantly, the dodge rate has dropped significantly, and there is a certain chance of causing accidental injury to teammates."
"Unknown factor interference, data disorder..."
"Do you want to spend 1000 power points to remove the influence of the light distortion phantom on you?"
Li Shuyi's face changed, obviously she also got the first prompt, but she didn't have the eyes of evolution, so she couldn't get the follow-up prompts.
"let's go."
Bai Xiaowen pinched the center of his eyebrows lightly, and his eyes suddenly opened! A strong coercion spread across the audience in an instant, and the four snake men maintained their movements of rushing forward, but their bodies were stiff.
The two-star mutation skill deterrence once again played an important role. Although Bai Xiaowen was affected by the phantom, this skill is a range control. As long as it is within the radius of action of the deterrence skill, all will be affected by deterrence.
Bai Xiaowen pulled Li Shuyi and Yahan, the light was shining in his hands, he had already opened an ancient book, and suddenly a ray of light shrouded the three of them. The movement speed of the three of them increased dramatically!
[Marching Strange Strategy: S-level props, after using it, the movement speed of all friendly troops within a radius of one kilometer will increase by 40%, and the physical consumption will be halved. The duration is 60 minutes. 】
After accelerating, the speed of Bai Xiaowen and the other three was like mad rabbits. When Gerald, the strongest snake man, just recovered from the state of fear, they had already run to the door of the round table hall, heading towards the depths of the hidden shadow maze. Run wildly.
"Chase!"
The snake bodies of the four snakemen swam and chased after them one after another.
With a muffled groan, Fat Boy's fat and huge body descended from the sky, followed by two skeleton sword-shieldmen behind him. Immediately afterwards, the two skeleton knife and shield hands lightly slashed the fat boy's buttocks, triggering the effect of two layers of corrupt blood, and immediately ran away without any hope.
"Excessive appearance, get the hell out of here!"
Milo snorted, and shot out the heavy spear in his hand, straight into Fat Boy's chest! The strong thrust even pushed Fat Boy back and forth, crumbling.
However, Fat Boy didn't fall down after taking this blow. After standing still, he took two steps forward. The purple-black blood shot out from his body, with a stench and pungent breath, blocked the door. ! Around him, a deceleration field is formed, and the speed of all passing enemies will be reduced by 15%.
"This damn corpse monster!" The other three snake-man leaders also joined the siege, and the destructive power of the four leaders' attacks together was simply terrifying. Crashed to the ground.
However, when the four of them crossed the deceleration field of the blood of corruption and chased out of the entrance of the hall, they could only see a deep corridor, and Bai Xiaowen and others had disappeared.
"You four trash!"
The mysterious will residing in the wreckage of Amotava roared, "Chasing! The relics on them are very important to me. If I lose those two relics, if I forcefully resurrect them, my strength will be weakened by more than one level. I must capture them alive !"
The leaders of the four snake people all showed shame.
Gerald said: "The three humans should have used something that greatly enhanced their speed. We chased after them. It is very difficult to catch up, and it will only get farther and farther away. We request to enter the wishing pool , teleport to several places that must be passed in the hidden shadow maze, and intercept them in advance."
After being silent for a while, the mysterious will spoke again: "You are right, Gerald. Just do as you say... In addition, call all the elite fighters in the Shimmering Abyss, enter the hidden shadow labyrinth, and unfold the carpet They must be captured! Also, that Yahan can be killed, but the other two must be captured alive!"
...
In the corridor, the three of Bai Xiaowen fled quickly. With the bonus of marching, the physical strength of the three of them declined very slowly. When they were running away, they still had the strength to breathe and talk.
"Where are we running to?" Li Shuyi said, "Isn't the other party the owner of the hidden shadow maze? This maze is like his home, and it may be difficult for us to escape through normal methods."
"I didn't say I wanted to escape..." Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "On the contrary, I want to enter the deepest part of the hidden shadow maze, find the inner secret room, and get a key thing."
"What?" Yahan asked sideways.
Li Shuyi also looked confused.
Bai Xiaowen first showed Li Shuyi the main task he had accepted: the secret of the hidden shadow labyrinth, and then said: "The key thing is called the prophecy tablet."
Yahan suddenly said: "I have heard the legend about the tablet of prophecy. It is a treasure containing magical power, which is related to the fate of the whole world. 'The chosen son of the tablet of prophecy will hold the throat of fate'. It's a sentence from the sanctuary songbook."
Bai Xiaowen secretly complained, the phrase "choke fate's throat" is inexplicably familiar.
Yahan quickly agreed with Bai Xiaowen's idea, and wanted to help Bai Xiaowen seize the prophecy slate.
Li Shuyi was a little stunned when she saw the task displayed by Bai Xiaowen, and then asked in a low voice through the team channel: "Why don't I have this task?"
"You probably missed the time to pick up this quest, and automatically picked up another mainline quest 'Extraordinary Game'," Bai Xiaowen said, "Actually, I have a feeling that we were on the Nagelfar ship, so The two main quests I encountered were tricky, and the real main quest was the 'Secret of the Lark Labyrinth' that I accepted."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued: "However, the rules of the spirit world have been disturbed, resulting in the description of 'data disorder, unable to judge' in the real main task. There is no doubt that the disturber is the mysterious will in the round table hall .Then, the mysterious will issued us a fake main mission."
Li Shuyi couldn't believe it: "It? Is it really so powerful?"
In the cognition of Li Shuyi and many awakened people, the rules of the spirit world are quite lofty, sacred and inviolable. However, in Bai Xiaowen's eyes, it is not so high-end. At least, the Eye of Evolution has repeatedly caused "unknown factors to interfere and data to be disordered" in the rules of the spirit world.
"Other than this, I can't find any other explanation. When all the impossibilities are eliminated, no matter how impossible it is, it is also a fact."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you didn't receive the mission. I am the captain and the ticket user. Your stay in the spirit world is equal to my stay... but you have to lose money." It’s just an experience reward for a main mission, it’s no big deal.”
Li Shuyi nodded in agreement, and then said quietly: "I didn't expect that Yahan is still a sensible person. With him joining, we have an extra powerful thug. Good luck."
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "This is not luck."
Li Shuyi: "???"
Bai Xiaowen explained: "Remember the prefix of our tickets to the spirit world? Speculation, reduce the difficulty of the main task by 50% and the task reward remains the same... This 'Secret of the Lark Labyrinth' task happens to be the main task! So, Ya Han chose to trust us, not by accident, but because the rules of the spirit world are within a moderate range, and the difficulty of making it is reduced."
Li Shuyi was stunned.
Bai Xiaowen said with a touch of emotion: "However, the difficulty of the second main line triggered by the invitation letter of the abyss party has indeed increased a lot, and it does not match our level at all. According to my insight just now, the Jie who played the big devil Roald is actually a level 9 leader! The other three snake leaders are not weaker than Han."
"If there is a difficulty rating for this task, it must be beyond the S-level main task, because the hidden shadow maze itself has terrain difficulties. So even with Yahan's help, we still have a chance of overturning, so be careful."
"There is a fork in the road ahead, which one should I take?" Yahan who was leading the way at the front suddenly stopped.
Bai Xiaowen took a closer look. When he saw the fork in the road, he suddenly felt that there was an item in his storage space that was slightly hot.
This is a symptom of a trigger association.
Bai Xiaowen took out the item, and what he got was a fist-sized green vertical pupil, which was the "Eye of Amotawa"—or, in other words, the "Dragon Eye" in the so-called dragon relics.
The eyes of Amotawa radiated light slightly, illuminating the two intersections in front of them. Afterwards, the emerald green light converged into a thin line, shining on the dome of the tunnel, and pieces of mud fell down.
"Look, there are words on the top of the head!" Li Shuyi said.
Yahan said in admiration: "I think it makes sense to say that you are a prophet in the Extraordinary game. The Dragon Eye in your hand is really a beacon to illuminate our direction...Huh? What do you think I am doing?"
Bai Xiaowen's eyes fell on Yahan's head... a green light. He shook his head with a somewhat complicated expression: "It's okay, Yahan. After you go back, pay attention to whether there is someone surnamed Wang next door... Hey!"
Li Shuyi stepped on Bai Xiaowen's foot: "When is it, you are still in the mood to joke!"
Bai Xiaowen realized that the color on his head was not quite right, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared. He coughed: "Well, let me see what is written on it..."
Above the dome, a few words are written in Latin script:
[Life is always accompanied by death, just as truth is always accompanied by lies. You must have a pair of eyes that see through the appearance, in order to pick up the fragments of the key of truth and reach the other shore safely. 】
And above the two forks, under the peeling mud shell, there are also words.
Above the fork on the left is written: [One sentence is truth and one sentence is a lie. 】
Above the fork on the right is written: 【This is a dead end! 】
"Ahem, please translate..." Bai Xiaowen tapped his head lightly with his fingers, "The words on the dome are hints, but the real important thing is the first sentence... The road to life is always accompanied by the road to death, which means that there are two forked roads in front of you. One is a passage, the other is a dead end, there may be some kind of vicious mechanism and poisonous gas. And the words on the two forks are the titles, let us judge which is the way of life... well, go to the right."
Bai Xiaowen took the lead towards the fork in the road on the right, and Li Shuyi followed without hesitation.
Ahan: "Hello? Why are you going to the right?"
