Chapter 123 Branch

"Damn, what did you hit?" I rolled on the sand and fell dozens of meters before stopping. However, I didn't dare to stand up. There was quicksand under my feet, and I would definitely sink in immediately.

The pioneer was lying on the sand next to him with his belly upside down, his body still twisting unconsciously. It seemed that he had been hit hard. I quickly summoned Rose Vine and Yeyue to help. Rose vines are also good burrowers and will have no problem on quicksand. Yeyue's big tail is also more suitable for the quicksand environment, at least she won't sink.

With the help of Rose Vine, the Blazer was turned over, but he was knocked unconscious. It seemed that he could not be counted on for the rest of the trip.

I was about to think of other ways when the sand in front of me suddenly shook violently. It's easy to sink into the quicksand ground even at ordinary times, but it's even more dangerous when it's shaking. I started to sink even when I was lying on the ground.

"What happened?"

Rose Vine conveys a message directly with heart contact. "The earthquake source is thirty meters away and the direction is straight ahead."

When I fell down, I turned over and the direction we came from should be right in front of me. Thirty meters means the distance is not far. Could it be that we just hit this thing?

Yeying looked over there with a smile and said, "Looks like he's a big guy?"

"Rose Vine, testing for 'sexual' attack."

Two vines suddenly rose up from the sand, and then entangled each other to form a spear-like structure, and they were thrust towards the target location. The sharp tip of the rattan penetrated into the sand with a bang, and then stopped. After waiting for a few seconds, the rattan suddenly began to move under the sand, and the upper part was also pulled to move.

The rose vine obviously hit the target, but the opponent actually started to run away, and even took the rose vine with him. The rose vine quickly spreads its branches to fix as much quicksand as possible, so that the resistance will increase significantly. The two canes were stretched straight. Then a spring of sand suddenly erupted from the sand, followed by a huge throaty cry, and a huge monster's head stuck out of the ground.

"It's really big!"

"It seems to be a close relative of Red Thorn." Yeyue sighed.

"Red Thorn, Tank, come out to help."

The opponent is a giant arthropod, very huge, and it is on the same level as tanks. As soon as the tank appeared, it immediately spread its wings and tried to fly, but found that it could not get off the ground. I quickly reminded them that there is a restricted area here. Cannot fly. Tank, who gave up flying, quickly extended his limbs to fix himself on the sand. Although he would still sink downward, his huge body did not care about this small collapse.

Compared to tanks, Red Thorn appears to be much more calm. Although the body is still huge, the red thorn is significantly smaller, so it won't sink too much. In addition, its legs are very long, so even if it sinks a little, there will be no problem.

"Kill that thing." I pointed to the front.

The monster under the sand suddenly roared, and then rushed towards the tank crazily. Tank's front foot swept forward violently. With a bang, the monster was sent flying several hundred meters away before landing with a crash. This guy quickly rolled over after landing, and then rushed over at an even faster speed. The red thorn's huge tail stood up, and after a continuous sound of popping popping, there was a row of red steel thorns more than three meters long on the sand in front, and the monster also had a steel thorn nailed on its head. . He was screaming and rolling around like crazy.

The tank unfolded on the spot, the magic crystal transmitter stretched out from the back, and the translucent crystal tube gradually lit up. When the emission tube reached the critical point, there was a bang and a purple ball of light flew out. But the monster pulled off the steel thorn on its head at that moment, and then dodged sideways at lightning speed.

boom. A sandstorm swept past, and then there was a big hole on the ground, but the monster was not nearby.

Yeyue reacted the fastest: "Be careful. He's diving down."

Almost as soon as Yeyue finished speaking, a sandbag suddenly bulged from the ground not far away, and then the sandbag quickly rushed towards us. The launcher on the tank's back quickly turned around, but Yeyue shouted first: "It's too late, let's avoid it first." The tank moved helplessly to the side.

Red Thorns are more flexible than tanks. After dodging some distance, he suddenly jumped up. Although the air is forbidden here, jumping is not prohibited. The red thorns that flew into the air suddenly shot out a row of steel needles. The sandbag was instantly pierced into a hedgehog and stopped moving. The tank saw the opportunity and flew a magic crystal shell. With a bang, a green liquid flew all over the sky along with the gravel.

"Good job Red Thorn." I gave a thumbs up to Red Thorn. "What kind of needle did you use? Is it effective?"

"It's a slow-acting toxin. After being poisoned, the speed slows down. Because more of them are hit, the target stops completely."

"Very good." I summoned the Phoenix Dragon Space to take everyone back first, and then called for the Red Thorn to advance.

Although Red Thorn One is not a speed demon pet. The second is not a mount-type magic pet. But he can adapt to the desert environment, and he is very large. The pace is not slow either, so it really doesn't run much slower than a regular mount. We were already on the road before the people behind us could catch up. We used the pointing ball to confirm that there was no problem in the downward direction and immediately accelerated forward.

The quicksand area itself seemed not very long, and the red thorn ran to the end within a few minutes. The terrain changes in this ghost place are really irregular at all. The desert terrain suddenly transformed into rocky ground at a dividing line, but the situation on the ground is a little troublesome. Red Thorn screamed as soon as he stepped on it, and then quickly stepped back.

"What's wrong?" I asked Hongthorn.

Red Thorn once again tried the black rocky ground with one front leg, but immediately pulled it back. "The ground is very hot. I can't run on it."

"Hot?" I quickly jumped off the back of the red thorn ground, and then walked to the edge of the rocky ground. I took some water from Fenglong Space and poured it on the rocks in front of me. As soon as the water hit the rocks, there was a squeaking sound, and a large amount of white water mist rose. "Good guy, the temperature is not low!"

Hong Thorn said: "I am not such a delicate creature. I can handle temperatures below three hundred degrees, but this is beyond my endurance limit."

"It doesn't matter, this is not a problem. You go back to Fenglong Space first. Call Ye Ying out by the way."

What does high temperature mean? Nightmares are creatures with feet on fire. They are naturally immune to fire. This little temperature is nothing.

Ye Ying immediately whistled as soon as he came out. "Wow! It's such a high temperature!"

"I won't look for you if it's not in a high-temperature area. Now I'm in a hurry, so I'll rush over as fast as possible." I jumped on Ye Ying's back and said.

Yeying snorted, then suddenly jumped onto the hot rock and flew forward. Just as I expected, Yeying didn't care about the temperature at all.

The high-temperature rock area was less than one kilometer long, and then a magma area actually appeared. The magma here is different from what we have encountered before. There are many rock blocks in the magma river that are higher than the magma and can be used as tower footstones. Night Shadow with precise steps. He rushed all the way without losing speed. Although the strange realm here deprives Yeying of his ability to fly, his perfect jumping ability is still enough to deal with such a small trouble.

Because I didn’t know how far the final destination was from here, I didn’t dare to waste time along the way, so I went as fast as I could. Who knows if six hours is enough?

After jumping over the lava river and more than a hundred meters away, the rocky area ends. Just like the transition from the desert area to the rocky area last time, the transition here is just as sudden. After the hot rocky areas it suddenly breaks into crisp grassy areas. Ahead is an endless prairie, and all that can be seen is a mountain in the distance. Use the pointing ball again, and the result is still pointing forward. If nothing else, we must be near that mountain. But as the saying goes, the mountain is a dead horse. When you see the mountain, it is actually very far away. What's more, looking at it now, the mountain is just a faint shadow. I really don't know how far the actual distance is.

Yeying looked at the mountain shadow in the distance and said, "You really have to get there, right? It will take about an hour to run there at my speed!"

"Isn't it?"

"I am a mount-type demon pet. I can't even tell the distance. Isn't my life in vain?"

Ye Ying said it was so far away, so it really wasn't close. After thinking for a long time, there seemed to be no solution. When encountering monsters, you can rely on everyone's cooperation to defeat them, but there is nothing here. It’s just that the distance is long, and there’s really no other way besides running honestly.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt that something was wrong with Ye Ying's running state. The bumpy running just now suddenly became smoother, and this only happened after Ye Ying left the ground. As a nightmare, Yeying can fly, but he is suppressed by the forbidden air field here, so he can't fly. But now he can fly again, which means that this place is not affected by that field.

"Can you fly here?"

Yeying nodded: "Of course. Otherwise, what do you think I am doing now?"

"Flying birds." Summon the Phoenix Dragon Space again to release the flying birds, and then directly jump on his back while moving. "Ye Ying, you come in first." Ye Ying quickly jumped into the Fenglong space. I patted the bird and pointed to the mountains ahead. "Hurry up and rush over as fast as you can."

"Then you have to catch it." After Feiniao said, his body suddenly rolled several times in succession, and his speed suddenly increased. I saw the muscles at the four jet propulsion ports on his wings suddenly contracting, making the jet ports very narrow. All the high-temperature gas was gathered together, and a bright white flame seven or eight meters long was sprayed from the nozzle. The sound sounded like cloth being torn.

"Supersonic assault." The flame behind the flying bird changed from white to an almost transparent flame with an orange-red color. Our speed suddenly increased several times, and the huge wind pressure made it difficult for me to breathe. But for the sake of speed, I didn’t want to disturb Asuka, so I tried to endure it first.

If we had known this situation, we should have sealed the Dragon Helmet first. Now it is better. The air intake of the flying bird at super high speed has almost dried up the air around us. Even if we put on the helmet now, there is no point. big.

Although Yeying is fast enough, his four legs are still not as good as the jet thrusters. The flying bird took me and shot straight towards the mountains ahead like a missile, leaving a huge vacuum column behind us that lifted up the soil on the ground. The ground where we flew looked like it had been plowed, with a wide trench pointing straight in the direction we were flying.

At this time, at the starting point of the game, the gods of Egypt were gathering together to look at a bunch of images floating in the air. The people in these images are the players like us who participated in the test, and everyone has a screen following them, but there is a very large screen showing me and the flying bird moving at high speed.

Kohopura said happily: "It seems that we have really met someone of extremely high quality this time. There is hope for La Shen this time."

Anubis said respectfully: "We don't know where the Sun Temple has been teleported to now. I'm afraid it's still impossible to find His Highness with just one winner, right?"

Wisdom God Tetu said: "That's why I proposed to set up such a project. We only screen out unqualified people, but we do not limit the number of winners. It would be best if many people who meet the requirements can pass. But we must not risk sending unqualified people into the Holy Land of Styx.”

Anubis nodded: "Are there any special instructions from the Temple of the Ancestor?"

Tetu said: "We didn't say anything when we got down to the Water Temple, but we were sleeping under the Sun Temple, and the Holy Land rejected us. So we can only make do with it."

"Alas...!" Kohopura sighed. "After all, it's too shameful to drag this kid. He actually thought of looking for the source of the beginning. Now it's better. The source was not found, and he even got involved. Anubis, don't you think so?"

Anubis looked embarrassed and said: "In any case, the Sun Temple is still the leader. As subordinates, we have no right to discuss his behavior. There is no problem with Lord Scarab's transcendent status, but we are really...!" "

Tetu smiled and said: "So Anubis also obeys the rules sometimes?"

Tetu's wife, Ma'at, the goddess of truth, said: "I know why Anubis is so serious."

Tetu also smiled and said, "I know too."

Kohopura said angrily: "Can't you, the younger generation, be more peaceful? Now Lahuan is missing in the Styx Holy Land. Will you all work harder? I have complaints against him, but the rescue operation must be done well. "

Anubis's gaze returned to the picture. "This kid's speed is so fast that he can hardly see it. At this speed, he may become the only person to complete the entire journey within two hours."

Tetu nodded and said: "The whole process was completed in one-third of the time. This result is really strong as expected!"

Ma'at suddenly said to Tetu: "It's only been twenty minutes now. At this speed, I don't think it will take two hours. As long as his performance is as good after that. He should be in one hour and thirty." Out."

Kohopura said to Anubis: "Now I am beginning to doubt whether you can complete the whole process faster than him."

"Of course. How can you say that we are also gods!" Anubis said confidently.

Tetu reminded: "Don't be proud, there is nothing to be proud of surpassing a mortal. It's your turn to set the most critical level. If this guy is 'confused', then we really have no hope." . I hope such a good person will not be 'confused'."

Anubis said: "Although we are gods, we are not omnipotent. At least we cannot control people's hearts. So, now let us see what qualities this guy has."

The flying birds that were attacking quickly on the prairie suddenly lost their power and crashed to the ground with me. I collected the flying bird in mid-air. I rolled on the ground and slid far away before stopping. "It's strange, it was flying so well and it actually fell down!"

I originally complained to myself, but I didn't expect that someone actually responded, and the voice was very familiar. No one but Anubis could produce that husky voice. "You fell down just because you entered the forbidden air territory again."

"Anubis?"

"it's me."

"What's the matter with you?" After all, Anubis was also one of the referees. Must be handled with care.

Anubis said: "I'm just giving you a mission reminder. Everyone who arrives here will receive the same reminder."

"Okay, tell me, I'm listening."

Anubis's voice said: "From here on, you have one more choice. You can choose to continue forward and follow the normal mission process to reach the destination, or get a mission reward and then reach the destination via another road. Of course. , you can return here after getting the reward and complete it according to the normal mission process, but I want to tell you that this is the worst choice. Because it is the most time-consuming route."

"What's the difference between the normal route and the reward route?"

"There are many differences. They can be said to be everywhere. The obstacles encountered in the two routes are different in sequence, type and quantity, but the general route is relatively simple. Although the actual distance of the reward route is shorter than the ordinary route, it is also relatively difficult. It increases, so it takes more time to complete. But the reason why the reward route is called the reward route is that you can get additional rewards by completing it. Although I can’t tell you what they are now, it is definitely a great reward.” After Anubis finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and a stone door suddenly rose from the ground. From here, a downward tunnel could be seen. “This is the entrance to the bonus route. Once you walk in, pointing in the direction pointed by the ball will automatically jump to the bonus route map. If you don’t want the bonus route, just go straight forward in the current direction. Then, the choice is left to you, so you can make your own decisions."

Anubis' consciousness returned to the place where the test started, and then he looked at me on the screen and said, "Just watch this!"

In the picture, I looked at the mountains in the distance, then looked at the tunnel, and finally rushed into the tunnel without hesitation. The gods watching here screamed almost simultaneously. Tetu said disappointedly: "It's over now!"

Kohopura also said: "It seems that we have to think of other ways, or hope that qualified people will appear among the remaining personnel."

Anubis said: "I don't think there's any need to give up directly."

"What do you have in mind?" Kohopura asked.

Anubis said: "Maybe he will come in time?"

"How is it possible?" Kohopura asked: "The distance is only less than one kilometer short, but the dangerous checkpoints along the way are at least ten times that of the normal route. If he can reach it, he is really a superman."

"Maybe a miracle will happen." Anubis affirmed.

When I entered the tunnel, I didn't know that Anubis and the others were quarreling over me. At this time, I was thinking about what the reward would be while going deep into the tunnel. The rewards from the previous qualifiers were pretty good, and in this first level of the formal test, I think the rewards won’t be too bad either.

The tunnel was not very deep. Not long after walking, I felt the temperature drop in a straight line. Not long after, a huge underground space appeared in front of me. I was standing on a ledge on a cliff that looked like a balcony. Below this stone platform is an abyss, the bottom of which cannot be seen at all, and it also has the characteristics of forbidden air. On the platform, apart from the entrance I walked up to, there was only an ice and snow channel like a slide. This passage extends from the platform to an invisible place in the distance.

It seems that this passage is the only one that can be walked, but its danger is indeed high enough. Firstly, the ice channel is completely suspended, with no supports below. Secondly, this channel is too narrow, less than one foot wide. Such a narrow width, but still such a long distance, and what's worse is that it is made of ice. It's already dangerous enough to be one foot wide, but walking on the ice is faster if it's not dangerous!

To go up or not to go up? This is a problem!
