Chapter 146 Are You Going to Test Whether the King's Sword Is Sharp?

The Lost Maze seems to have a huge gravitational field.

The closer you get to the center, the stronger the gravitational pull.

The Lost Maze has more than one gravitational field, large and small, covering and intertwining with each other, causing the magnetic field to be extremely chaotic.

Many adventurers have come to the maze in various ways. The adventurers who made it out alive have summed up valuable experiences and formed a guide for exploring the maze, telling newcomers how to avoid risks.

The space in the maze is very unusual.

If you travel the same road twice, you may arrive at completely different destinations.

Of course, normally, you won’t deviate too much.

"Don't spread out."

This place is very strange and cannot be judged by common sense.

Bai Lan could sense that the maze was full of energy and extremely active.

This is the characteristic energy released by the death of those powerful people.

This also causes the creatures in the maze to be generally very powerful.

It can be said to be pollution, but it can also be said to be evolution.

The Pavilion Master, Metatron and others also came here because of this.

They were unwilling to stifle their talents, so they chose to upgrade to level 10 and open up their own paths.

But there is a huge experience gap when upgrading from level 9 to level 10.

If you only kill low-level monsters, you will have to kill them until you die.

Everyone discussed for a moment, then took action and explored forward.

The environment of the maze is dark, undulating, and complex. Only Bai Lan and Alex can move freely in this environment.

Soon, the first monster was encountered.

"Stone Demon, level 10 monster."

It was a creature similar to a stone elf. Over the long years, it had accumulated energy and acquired instinct and sanity.

Bai Lan didn't participate in the battle and was trying to steal experience, so it wasn't worth his while.

He has the talent of [Killing to Prove the Way].

But now that his constitution value has exceeded 20 points, when he goes to kill a monster with a constitution of 10 points, the feedback he gets cannot even trigger a prompt.

Even a Sequence 9 werewolf can only provide a few tenths of a physical value at most.

Bai Lan stood on the top of a shorter tree.

Looking into the distance, I could vaguely see a ruins in the mist.

After briefly staring at it, Bai Lan quickly felt something strange and frowned slightly.

It was like the air ahead was distorted.

This is a very weird feeling, like looking through a magic mirror. The objects you see are either elongated or shrunk, and they are changing dynamically.

Bai Lan quickly averted his gaze.

He realized how abnormal the labyrinth space was.

You can't even have farsightedness here. The only thing you can see is a hundred meters away. There will be no abnormalities. If you look further, your vision will be distorted.

Bai Lan lowered his five senses to a certain extent.

If you keep your senses fully open, it will be very taxing on your spirit, and the environment here is weird.

Below, the battle ends.

The Pavilion Master and others smashed the stone demon into pieces, peeled off its thick and hard body, and took out the broken core.

Bai Lan jumped down and said, "There are ruins there, let's explore there."

No one had any objections.

It is difficult to see traces of civilization in the maze, no matter which way you go, if you find ruins, you will most likely get an unexpected harvest.

Along the way, they encountered several more monsters, all level 9 and 10 monsters, and they were easily dealt with.

After advancing for ten minutes, Metatron suddenly said: "Our physical fitness is declining."

The master of the pavilion showed his talent and soon realized what was going on, and his face became a little ugly.

"We're poisoned."

He identified that the maze was filled with a special kind of miasma, which was very thin but also very deadly.

There is no prompt in the sequence game, and the poisoning process is subtle.

The labyrinth guide mentioned this, not only describing a large number of monster illustrations, but also explaining the harsh environment.

But the Pavilion Master and others did not pay attention.

As top players, their physical resistance far exceeds that of ordinary people, and they are immune to most modern diseases.

But in fact, they are still not extraordinary within the sequence.

The physical body has no supernatural resistance.

Fortunately, they were well prepared and equipped with antidote.

I got a [Magic Pocket] before, which can carry hundreds of kilograms of supplies, and it just comes in handy now.

"Qingfeng, do you want some potion?" the gambler asked.

Bai Lan said: "No need, I have survival characteristics."

This is the basic characteristic of the Demonic Wolf Path.

As a demon wolf, he can adapt to most environments. The worse the environment, the stronger his ability to survive.

Not to mention the underground world, even in the water, he can move freely for more than half an hour.

This level of miasma cannot even bring a sense of threat to Bai Lan.

"This kid is really perverted." The gambler muttered a few words and drank the antidote in one gulp.

There is no rest, just keep exploring forward.

Metatron constantly uses [God's perspective] to observe the safest path.

Even so, they also encountered Sequence 9 extraordinary creatures.

A creature called an ice ghost.

According to the appraisal of the pavilion master, this thing is level 15.

This is a vicious supernatural being, reminiscent of a skinned ape, with the special property of controlling ice, enough to freeze rocks to the point of cracking.

The pavilion master and others wore invisibility cloaks and launched a sneak attack.

As a transcendent, the ice ghost reacted instantly and covered himself with ice armor, which prevented the gambler from smashing its head with [Werewolf Fist Claw].

Alex took advantage of the moment when the ice ghost launched its attack, and used [Shadow Cloak] and [Shadow Gem] to launch two surprise attacks from behind.

The special effect of [Shadow Cloak] is to blend into darkness and increase movement speed.

[Shadow Gem] creates a shadow with 80% of the body's combat power.

The ice ghost's shrill cry spread across the mountains.

Its screams attracted the second ice ghost, but the one standing in front of it was a tall young man holding a spear.

The battle ended quickly.

Picked up the hearts of two ice ghosts.

Everyone did not delay and hurried forward.

The gambler said cheerfully: "You still get more experience points by killing monsters beyond the level. This will directly reach level 9."

But no one paid any attention to him.

Metatron and the Lord are responsible for finding a safe path.

Otherwise, if you run rampant in a complex and dangerous environment like a maze, sooner or later you will encounter some terrifying creatures comparable to Sequence 7, and even an invisibility cloak will be hard-pressed to protect them.

The two owners of detection talents had to find a relatively safe path and had no energy to talk.

Alex is not good with words.

And Bai Lan is thinking about how to find the witch's [Holy Grail] in this vast underground world.

We can only take one step at a time, and now we need to get familiar with the environment of the maze.

Along the way, he killed more than a dozen high-level monsters in more than an hour, including some extraordinary Sequence 9 creatures.

The experience I gained was remarkable and I gained a lot of material.

Finally, they approached the ruins Bai Lan had seen before.

The buildings were crumbling, old and dilapidated, piled with dust, as if eroded by darkness.

Metatron exclaimed: "No! There are some powerful creatures living inside."

Not one, but a group.

In fact, here they could vaguely see a little bit of evil light emitting from the dim ruins, which was an ominous sign.

The future foreseen by Metatron will show a black screen.

Bai Lan said: "The Pavilion Master and I will go explore the road."

He wore an invisibility cloak and entered the ruins ahead with the pavilion master.

The original building of this building should be a temple-like building, with half of the thick stone pillars buried in the earth.

Nowadays, the sacred is no longer there, only incomplete rubble remains, vaguely showing the glory of the past.

Bai Lan also saw the true form of these creatures.

"Evil spirit!" The pavilion master was surprised.

These are actually spiritual creatures, without flesh and blood, floating in mid-air, exuding evil power fluctuations, and regard this place as their nest.

[Hint: You encountered an evil spirit]

[Evil spirits: Lost souls wandering in the world, refusing to dissipate because they are attached to life. 】

The Pavilion Master and Bai Lan explore the situation.

The two quickly figured out that there were three evil spirits comparable to Sequence 9, wandering here.

Not all extraordinary beings are extraordinary beings.

These are two concepts.

The lowest level for an extraordinary person is sequence 9.

For example, a newly born werewolf is not a Sequence 9. He must master his own extraordinary characteristics before he can become an extraordinary person.

It is said that dragons and giants, those high-level extraordinary creatures, possess the basic abilities of Sequence 9 as soon as they are born.

But this is just one of them.

Some extraordinary creatures have very special origins.

Evil spirits exist like this.

Extraordinary people cannot rest in peace after death. For some reason, their souls cannot dissipate and lose themselves. They may possess other people's bodies to gain the quality of life.

Evil spirits are not extraordinary beings of a certain path, but they are more troublesome than ordinary extraordinary beings.

Because evil spirits are immune to physical attacks.

At this stage, the main means of attack for top players still relies on physical output.

Relying only on magic and sophisticated items will have very limited effects.

Moreover, evil spirits can possess other people's bodies, which is simply incomprehensible to non-supernormal people.

"Let's find another place." The pavilion master wanted to retreat.

These evil spirits are really difficult to deal with. Once possessed, life is worse than death.

Only extraordinary beings have the means to combat evil spirits.

And it cannot be a low-level path, it must be an extraordinary person from a high-level path.

Bai Lan looked at those evil spirits. The shapes and appearances of those souls had been blurred by the erosion of time, but they could vaguely be recognized as human shapes.

"Is there something in these ruins that attracts them? Or are they using this ruins as a place to live?"

The Pavilion Master smiled bitterly: "I can't identify it. These things are very special."

The souls of extraordinary beings after death can give birth to creatures like evil spirits, which shows that the souls of dead extraordinary beings are very powerful.

It is impossible to trace the source.

Bai Lan bit the knuckles on his fist and said to the pavilion master: "You go first, I will check the situation."

The Pavilion Master knew that Bai Lan was going to take action, and him staying here was just a drag.

"Be careful not to be possessed by evil spirits."

The master of the pavilion simply turned around and left, taking the invisibility cloak with him.

Bai Lan relies on the [Stealth] characteristic to hide himself as much as possible and find the best attack angle.

Then adjust your posture and launch an attack!

The evil spear emits rich dark energy!

[Piercing attack]!

【Kill】!

His whole body turned into a black light and burst out!

boom!

Evil spirits are immune to physical attacks, but are affected by supernatural properties and energy attacks.

Under such a ferocious attack, an evil spirit exploded into fireworks that filled the sky like a swarm of fireflies.

But after Bai Lan thrust forward.

Those scattered spiritual lights suddenly gathered together and reorganized into a spiritual body!

It's just that the spiritual light emitted has been greatly weakened, more than half of what it was when the victory was complete.

The other two unexplained evil spirits noticed the aura of the living and suddenly let out——

Soul screams!

The soul power rushes in, causing ripples in the air and causing sand and rocks to fly on the ground!

Bai Lan is holding an evil spear!

Give it a hard swing!

[Slash]!

It was as if Kuang Sheng had used a brush to draw an eye-catching black line in the void, turning into an arc and flying towards the two evil spirits.

boom!

They collided halfway and exploded.

Dark energy and soul power cancel each other out!

The evil spirit that was attacked first reorganized its body and was sluggish for a moment before instinctively rushing to seize Bai Lan's body.

"snort!"

Dark energy surged, covering Bai Lan's delicate right hand, eventually forming a huge palm one meter wide!

【Hand of Darkness】!

Magic skills specially purchased from Calcifer.

It has to be said that these forming magics are much stronger than the simple magics developed by Bai Lan himself.

The hand of darkness holds the evil spirit down.

The dark energy in Bai Lan's body surged out crazily.

Fingers clenched tightly!

Bang!

The evil spirits that had gathered together exploded again.

Poof!

Bai Lan's body shook, and two spiritual lights disappeared behind him, trying to control the living body.

In an instant, Bai Lan's eyes suddenly changed.

His eyes flickered and turned into the eyes of a demon wolf for an instant.

Those dark eyes were deep and vast.

"Get out of here!"

The characteristics of the demonic wolf explode in full force, becoming a sweeping force that repels evil spirits within the body!

At this moment, the evil deeds and spears clanked!

Dark energy poured into it, awakening the hidden power of the spear at this moment.

The sharp and straight tip of the spear seemed to be bleeding!

With him as the center, an invisible wave of energy suddenly arose!

The two evil spirits screamed and turned into auras and rushed out, unable to wrest the demon wolf's control over the body.

Bai Lan's mental toughness is extremely high, which is the effect given by the characteristics of the demon wolf.

As long as his mental strength does not exceed him by much, it is almost impossible to usurp control of his body.

But the forced explosion also caused Bai Lan's mental value to drop sharply.

After his breath stagnated, he looked up and saw two evil spirits launching soul screams again.

Evil deeds and spears contend!

Bai Lan raised his hand and threw the evil spear!

boom!

The spear broke through the air, pierced the soul power, and penetrated an evil spirit body. The evil spear was nailed to the huge stone pillar behind it.

Bai Lan jumped up, clasped his fingers together, and turned his gun into a fist.

[Piercing attack]!

With one punch, beat the last evil spirit into debris all over the sky!

…

【You killed the evil spirit】

[Your talent for killing and proving the path takes effect]

[Your physical value +0, your mental value +0.05, your energy value +0]

[Your talent has absorbed a trace of pure thought power]

[Your mental value is extra +0.1]

…

Bai Lan was surprised.

The three evil spirits combined actually provided him with nearly 0.5 spiritual points.

His mental value is now approaching 17 points.

This increase is extremely impressive.

"Different types of monsters have different improved attribute values."

Bai Lan naturally understands this truth.

His physique value exceeded the 20 mark, essentially because he killed too many physique-type creatures.

Such as werewolves and thieves.

So far ahead.

The disadvantage is that if the physical fitness value is too high, it will be difficult to improve in the future.

But the other two properties are different.

There is still a lot of room for improvement.

Evil spirits do not provide extraordinary properties, but after killing them, they can gain pure mental power.

This should be the essential power of evil spirits.

The pure power of thought is integrated into oneself, and the feedback received is higher than [Killing Enlightenment].

…

Bai Lan stood on the ruins and waved to the Pavilion Master and others from a distance.

"Are you done?"

The pavilion master's face was shocked. If it weren't for his appraisal talent, he would have thought that Bai Lan was controlled by evil spirits and was luring them here.

Bai Lan said: "The weakness of evil spirits is too obvious."

Just the [Kill] skill alone allows him to tear evil spirits apart with his bare hands.

The evil spirits have no protective power at all.

More importantly, they are ignorant and have no concept of escape and cooperation.

Everyone entered the ruins.

The master of the pavilion asked strangely: "Why do I feel that you can live a more prosperous life here without us?"

Bai Lan tilted her head and said, "Really?"

"What do you think?"

Bai Lan began to raise his head and think.

Demon wolf is the extreme way to survive.

The Lost Labyrinth is full of dangers, the vegetation is full of enemies, and the environment is extremely complex.

But it is not difficult for the demon wolf to survive.

No wonder Calcifer asked him to come here.

After all, the magic wolf has a strong ability to escape.

But on the other hand, the Demon Wolf does not have particularly powerful output capabilities.

A single tree cannot make a forest.

No matter which perspective you consider, it is necessary to cultivate other players.

At the very least, we have to wait until these people reach level 10.

"Maybe." Bai Lan said casually.

Seeing that Bai Lan had no intention of walking alone, the Pavilion Master felt relieved.

He is a businessman and his main idea is mutual benefit.

Therefore, the Pavilion Master did not think about what he could get from the beginning, but what he could bring to other players.

In the difficult period of land reclamation, players did not get many resources, but they were able to spend a lot of money to create forums and sacrificed a considerable amount of resources.

The 20 high-level players he summoned will get the opportunity to transfer to high-level professions because they obey his orders.

The Pavilion Master believes that only by bundling interests can we coexist stably.

Once one party cannot bring benefits to the other party, the cooperation can easily be broken.

But fortunately that didn't happen.

"Pavilion Master, use your talent to find out if there is anything useful here." The gambler complained.

This was originally a magnificent temple, but now the building collapsed, as if it had experienced a huge earthquake.

In this case, it is difficult to find things buried in the rubble.

Alex slipped into the shadows, into the buried room, and patiently rummaged through it.

Metatron uses [God's perspective] to observe different futures and find results by omitting the process.

Bai Lan looked at the ruins.

A huge hand of darkness gathered on the right hand, pulling at the ruins like the bucket of an excavator.

After a while, the five people piled all the things they found together.

…

From the rotting treasure chest, about a dozen golden magic gold coins were found.

Its style is different from the magic gold coins Bai Lan had obtained.

On the back is a magnificent temple, and on the front is a true god holding a battle ax high.

This is a magic gold coin exclusive to the dwarf kingdom.

They believe in the invincible god of war.

In that era, the God of War was also called the Sun God.

…

[Broken Whirlwind Ax]

The quality is extremely high, but it has been dusty for a long time, and this whirlwind ax had a huge chip before, so it was placed here.

I don’t know how many years have passed, but the mysterious properties of the Cyclone Ax have been lost.

Only the most basic hard and sharp properties.

Bai Lan, Alex and others also found some rusty weapons, all of which were of fine quality.

But they all failed to resist the passage of time and became scraps.

…

[The fully preserved crucible]

I don’t know if the crucible has a long shelf life.

All in all, this is the only complete prop found.

It can withstand extremely high temperatures and extract plant and mineral essences.

Whether it is making potions or doing other things, it can play a great role.

Bai Lan also saw the same props in the witch's hut, they should be very precious.

…

[Broken Warrior Secret Medicine Recipe]

This broken recipe is kept in a wooden box.

After the appraisal, the pavilion master's eyes widened and he said: "The effect of this formula is to enhance physical fitness."

Bai Lan was surprised.

Players will only have 3 free attribute points to allocate when upgrading.

But this is a novice benefit, and it disappears after becoming a transcendent.

If extraordinary people want to improve their physical strength, they can only do it through various unremitting exercises.

For example, werewolves use hunting rituals to improve their physical fitness.

The first thing to be clear about is.

Game level does not equal three-dimensional attributes.

A transcendent who adds balanced points to level 11 through interpretation of his own characteristics does not mean that each attribute value will be correspondingly increased to 11 points.

If you don't take the initiative to tap your own potential.

Even if someone reaches level 14, the physical fitness value will most likely remain at 10 points.

Of course, as the level of the game increases, the three-dimensional attributes will also increase.

Even if the magician is not good at close combat and does not exercise.

But Calcifer estimated that he could easily use his physical strength to lift the Sequence 9 warrior up and hammer him down.

Relatively speaking, it is normal for some three-dimensional attributes to be lower than the game level.

If there were additional ways to improve one's physical fitness, I'm afraid no one would be able to refuse.

"This formula is a constitution potion prepared by combining some extraordinary materials with powerful life forms and medicinal herbs..." The pavilion master frowned and identified the above content.

The warrior's secret medicine can also be called the constitution potion.

This secret medicine can help extraordinary people on the warrior path grow rapidly.

For non-supernormal people, its effect is even greater.

It shortens the time for ordinary people to become extraordinary by more than ten times, and can even help them develop the mysterious characteristics in their bodies in advance.

The pavilion master's heart was pounding.

In the beginning, humans only had one higher path: warriors.

The Knight Path is also an advanced path split from the Warrior Path.

In theory, the secret medicine that is useful for warriors is also useful for the knight path.

After all, both focus on physical fitness.

It can help non-super players quickly become super players.

Level 8 players themselves have a higher foundation.

If there was such a potion...

You can definitely become a transcendent person quickly!

But unfortunately... it broke.

Everyone was extremely disappointed.

Bai Lan was very sorry because his physical value was extremely high, but he didn't mind if it was higher.

Suddenly, the gambler said: "If the dwarf kingdom has a physical potion, then... the magic kingdom also has this potion."

Everyone looked at each other.

Metatron couldn't help but said: "Are you going to test whether the king's sword is sharp?"

This secret medicine must be specially preserved.

They haven't heard any news about the secret medicine yet.

Even if there is, it will not be spread easily.

Bai Lan remembered the church's [Spiritual Oil Formula], which even Calcifer couldn't produce.

The player has a high status in the border town, and the mayor has also transferred a lot of rights.

But that doesn't mean players can speak in front of the king.

Helka's Knight Guard is the king's third custodial army, which means there are two other custodial armies.

They are the Second Forbidden Army and the Warrior Guard.

The first imperial army, the Magician Guard.

It was obviously unwise to reach out to the king and ask for the secret recipe.

"Hahaha." The gambler scratched his head and laughed.

Alex said coldly: "But this temple has a secret medicine formula, which means other ruins may have well-preserved formulas, or other types of formulas..."

This is indeed possible!

Everyone's hearts became hot.

This maze is really full of endless treasures!

Recommended book, super nice!

…

Why should I go out and take risks when I can become stronger by playing games?

The so-called immortality is to live longer than anyone else!

Killing the enemy is not a skill, only living has a future!

Ancient Xiu Mausoleums, sect ruins, the ancient capital of Luocheng...

Lu Chen wandered through the dungeons in the game, exploring the unknown secrets one after another.

"It's just...how did my wife in the game come to reality!"

Lu Chen looked at the expressionless empress in red wearing a phoenix crown in front of her, sweating profusely.

All of this starts with him opening a coffin in the game...
