Volume 20, Chapter 57: Plague-Like Treatment
Although the idiot died, the people behind him did not, and the guy shouted an order before he died, so the guys present immediately rushed towards the other three groups of people. [ ] However, it seemed that only the boss who was killed was an idiot. The others had pretty good IQs, so after the battle started, I suddenly found that I had nothing to do.
What? You ask me why I feel like I have nothing to do in the melee? Isn't that because no one dares to get close to me?
Although the entire hall was in chaos, there was a vacuum around me. Not to mention taking the initiative to rush towards me, even if I show the slightest intention to lean towards someone, the person over there will immediately stay away from me, even if I try to get slashed by others, I will be there. No matter what.
Speaking of which, no one here is really stupid. The guy who poked me arrogantly before triggered a revenge attribute and was electrocuted half to death. Now even a fool knows that the level of my equipment is terrifying. Thinking about it, every other group is a group of people, but I dare to run here with only one person. It is obvious that I am the kind of person who is super strong and can stand up to the group. So, since you know that I am so powerful, wouldn't you be courting death by relying on me again? Therefore, everyone present regarded me as the God of Plague. No matter where I moved, Lima would definitely become a no man's land.
At first, I saw that they were avoiding me, and I tried to get closer and kill a few of them, but then I just gave up after realizing that everyone was useless.
What these people mean now is very obvious, that is, it is equivalent to acknowledging that I have occupied a quota, and the remaining four teams of them are actually just fighting for the remaining two quotas. So since they don't care about giving me a spot, if I still have to join in and cause trouble, isn't there something wrong with my brain?
Of course, no one is fighting me, so I can’t be idle. No one dared to approach me anyway, so I simply walked across the battlefield to the gate over there. Everyone on the battlefield automatically made way for me as I passed by, and no one tried to stop me.
After walking easily to the door over there, I discovered that the door was not standing directly on the ground, but was more than one meter higher than the hall where we were. However, there are steps under this door, but they were blocked by those people before, so they didn't see them.
After carefully observing the gate and looking left and right at the two guards, I finally stepped onto the first step. As a result, the two guards who had been installing the sculptures immediately started to move. Of course, they didn't intend to kill me directly, but at the same time they stretched out their spears and crossed them in front of me.
"Mortals, there are three ways to pass through this door. You must choose one to pass." Two stone statue-like guards suddenly said this at the same time, and the thunderous voice echoed in the cave, shaking the back. The group of guys fighting in the melee had to stop temporarily.
They are not stupid either. If you are not in a hurry to grab a spot, why not first see how I get in so I can gain some experience.
Hearing what the guard said, I stopped, then raised my head and asked, "What method?"
The stone statue standing on the left side of the door said: "The first method is to hand over a letter of introduction or a special token. As long as the person who gives the letter of introduction or special token is recognized by Lord Vulcan, you can enter directly."
"Sorry I don't have anything like that."
The stone statue didn't pause even after I finished speaking, and continued directly: "The second method is to answer the three questions we asked. After you answer them all correctly, you can enter. Otherwise, please leave here and you will not be allowed to do so for a week. Get in here.”
"Can I ask what the problem is?"
"The problem has no fixed scope, it could be any problem, and no hints can be given."
I nodded and said, "What about the third method?"
After I finished speaking, the two stone statues suddenly put away their spears at the same time and slammed them on the ground. There was only a crash sound, and the entire cave seemed to shake. After that, the stone statue guard said: "The third method is to defeat us and force your way in. This will count as your permission to meet."
"Hey, would you choose the second option? If you get the wrong answer, you'll have to try again in a week, right?" Someone suddenly shouted at me from the battlefield behind, and the meaning was obvious. Of course the guy who shouted didn't want to help me, they just wanted me to try it out and see what kind of questions it was. Even if I didn't get the same questions, I could at least get a rough idea of the difficulty of the questions, right? Of course, if it were their choice, they would probably choose the second option. After all, this method seems to be the most likely to pass. Those two guards looked like they were no match for each other, and these people were not crazy enough to think they could defeat them.
Of course I will not be affected by other people's shouting. After the two guards finished speaking, I just hesitated for two seconds and asked: "I want to ask if I accidentally stopped and smashed you two, Hephaestus won’t refuse to see me, will he?”
After hearing my words, the two stone statues suddenly raised their spears at the same time and hit the ground hard again. The roof of the cave was shaken so much that dirt fell straight down. At the same time, they shouted angrily in unison: "Are you looking down on us?"
"No, I just want to know, lest Hephaestus refuses to see me for a while. Wouldn't that be a big loss?" I said and asked again: "You haven't answered my question yet? Have you? Question? If Hephaestus won't see me if I tell you that it's a problem, then I'd better choose the second option."
It seems that these two stone statue guards are not just guards. Their intelligence is quite good, at least their emotions are similar to humans. After hearing my words, the two stone statues immediately roared angrily: "It's you who have to be careful. If you die, don't complain that we didn't say hello."
"So it's okay to kill you, right? Then I'll choose the third option."
Wow. After I made my choice, there was a burst of commotion on the battlefield behind, and then the group stopped fighting. Instead, they all retreated into groups and stood near the stairs coming down. Now, no matter how weak the people here are, they have experienced many battles. As soon as I gave this answer, it was clear that a fight was about to begin. They didn't know what my combat power was, but just by looking at their size, they knew that the attack range of the two stone statues must be very large, so in order to avoid being accidentally injured, these cunning guys immediately retreated to the farthest place from the gate. You can observe the fighting situation, and secondly, you can ensure that you can escape easily if something goes wrong.
"Don't regret it." The two stone statues were probably angry, and they were thinking about how to beat me up. So they didn't even wait for my confirmation, and they already swept over with their spears as they finished shouting. ! .
