Chapter 143 Clearing the First Floor of the Sad Theater

August 15, 12 midnight. Google search reading

Accompanied by a moment of weightlessness.

The snow-white ceiling turned into a scarlet velvet curtain, and the modern ceiling lamp turned into a gilded crystal lamp with countless candles.

Li Feng knelt on one knee on the ground, looking at the delivery bed in front of him.

There was a woman with a bulging abdomen but a blurred face on the delivery bed who was giving birth. The woman looked very painful, and her eyes seemed to be begging to look at the other side of the delivery bed.

Xia was standing there.

As he returned to the game world of the Endless Sea and returned to the stage of the first floor hall of the Sad Theater, Li Feng lost control of his body again.

"What should we do? What should we do now?"

Xia, standing opposite Li Feng, anxiously asked Li Feng through the contract.

Her current facial expression was controlled by the Sad Theater to be extremely indifferent, but from the sound, she was almost scared to tears.

Indeed, it was too ridiculous to peel her own skin.

Unlike the last second when he had no idea, Li Feng had lived in the player world for 15 days and now had his own plan.

"Calm down first, Xia, listen to me now."

Li Feng's expression was controlled by the Sad Theater to be full of piety, but through the contract, his tone was firm:

"Feel the power that controls you, and then chant in your heart:

What will be lost?

Where can I find mercy?

What words make the earth sweet?

Before opening this road, please allow me to pass through the Gate of Daylight and obtain the power of the ancestors."

Li Feng said the short poem he translated from the gargoyle head.

Before seeing the paper servant, Li Feng didn't understand what it meant.

But when he felt the power of the black dragon on the paper servant, he suddenly understood all the clues he had discovered recently.

As early as the ancient times, when the Endless Sea was still a whole continent.

The dragon clan headed by the black dragon once went to war with the lava lord.

In order to suppress the lava lord, the black dragon ancestor gave up becoming a god and injected the power enough to become a god into the earth.

But the earth could not withstand the war between the two sides and eventually broke into countless small pieces.

The slightly larger continents formed islands, while the smaller ones, with the power of the black dragon, sank to the bottom of the sea and became the Lost Land.

The Theater of Sorrow is one of them.

After that, the sun and the moon rotated, the stars moved, the sea tides rose and fell, and hundreds of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.

Until the previous generation of the Black Dragon Queen, Xia's mother, she discovered that the islands in the Endless Sea and the Lost Lands contained the power of the ancestors.

In order to obtain those powers, she began to try certain spells and rituals.

Although Li Feng could not guess her specific methods.

But through historical materials, Li Feng discovered that the Black Dragon Queen had ordered all dragons to kill a large number of gargoyles and leave their heads.

Li Feng guessed that this might be related to the rituals she needed to obtain the power of the ancestors.

However, under the rule of the Black Dragon Queen, something must have happened within the dragon clan, which eventually led to the rebellion of dragons of other colors.

They turned against humans and helped Ponros Fell kill the Black Dragon Queen and slaughter the entire Black Dragon clan.

At this point, the Black Dragon Queen fell, and her plan to obtain the power of the ancestors was shelved.

The Lost Land was still sealed under the sea, and many years passed like this.

Until the Sad Theater, which was the Lost Land, appeared in the world.

After sinking for many years, the Sad Theater, with the power of the Black Dragon ancestors and the strange power of the seabed, lured and corrupted the player Paper Crane.

The power of the Sad Theater made Paper Crane suddenly promoted five levels, and successfully became a paper controller, and also created a servant.

But by mistake, Li Feng met Paper Crane in the game world and killed him.

And got a gargoyle head with words from the latter.

After that, the fifth cycle ended, and all players returned to the player world.

Paper Crane died, but his servant needed the heart of his enemy Li Feng to revive him, so he went to Li Feng to seek revenge.

Because Li Feng had fished for lightning eels before, he knew that paper people and paper spirits were afraid of lightning, so he used electricity to weaken the paper servant and killed it.

But during the fight, Li Feng discovered the power of the black dragon on the paper man.

He recalled the ancient stories he had read before, and suddenly realized that the Sad Theater that tempted the paper crane actually contained the power of the black dragon.

And the gargoyle head he got from the paper crane was most likely the extraordinary material used by the Black Dragon Queen to obtain the power of the ancestors in the Lost Land.

Then the short poem on the head was also most likely the key spell to gain power.

Moreover, this discovery also confirmed Li Feng's divination after returning from the Sad Theater.

The fortune teller's letter opener told him that if he wanted to escape from the Sad Theater, he needed:

"The Black Dragon Queen finds the power of the ancestors."

But the previous generation of Black Dragon Queen has fallen, so the current Black Dragon Queen is her daughter Xia.

After thinking about this, Li Feng couldn't help sighing, and he kept sighing that it was such a coincidence.

The Endless Sea is so big, but he happened to be in danger with this generation of Black Dragon Queen.

In fact, the above are all Li Feng's speculations, but there is one thing about Xia that makes him very sure.

Previously, because of fishing, he and Xia got involved in the strange lighthouse island related to the Sad Theater, and then they had that strange dream together.

In the dream, they used exactly the same way to deal with the crisis.

But when the dream ended, Li Feng did not change at all.

But Xia was suddenly promoted from the first level to the fifth level to the second level.

Like Paper Crane who gained the power of the Theater of Sadness, she was promoted to five ranks in an instant.

But unlike Zhihe, Zhihe has become a crazy and demented slave controlled by the Theater of Sadness in order to gain power.

But as a black dragon, Shia is really like the legend.

I gained the power of my ancestors, but there were no side effects.

So now, Li Feng asked her to read out the short poem on the gargoyle's head.

If this gargoyle head was really prepared by Shia's mother for the ceremony, then the short poem on the head is most likely a spell to gain the power of the ancestors.

After all, success or failure depends on this.

"Wha...what?"

Xia was stunned by Li Feng's words.

Li Feng's conclusion was reached after 15 days of research in the player world, but for Xia, it was just a moment.

She couldn't figure out why Li Feng, who was just as confused as she was just a second ago, suddenly had such a strange idea.

"Don't think so much, just do as I say."

Seeing Xia confused, Li Feng was a little anxious.

Because now, the pain of the woman on the delivery bed was intensifying, and the hand holding the knife was slowly raised under control.

He was about to aim and swing at his lower body.

Although the encounter occurred in a dream, Li Feng did not dare to bet that the dream would not affect reality.

"What will be lost?"

There was no time to explain anything else, so Li Feng began to guide Xia to recite a spell like a short poem.

"What will be lost?"

Because of Li Feng's determination, Xia did not doubt his presence and began to follow Li Feng in her mind, reciting short poems she had never heard before.

“Where to find mercy?”

“Where can I find mercy?”

"What..."

“What words sweeten the earth?

Before starting this path, please allow me to pass through the Gate of Day and gain the power of my ancestors. "

What Li Feng didn't expect was that he only taught Xia the first half of this spell. Xia seemed to have awakened some memory and recited the rest smoothly.

And as the incantation was recited, the entire Theater of Sadness suddenly entered a state of stillness.

The woman on the delivery bed stopped suffering, and the candlelight on the crystal lamp above her head stopped flickering.

Li Feng, who was controlled by a strange force, suddenly felt that the force pulling the dagger in his hand stopped.

Everything as far as the eye could see was still, except Shia.

The wind came from nowhere, blowing her dress and long hair.

The winds seemed to be gathering around her, and it seemed like she was the one controlling the winds to blow around.

But the stillness was only for a moment. As the spell continued, the entire first floor hall of the Theater of Sadness suddenly roared with strong winds.

Li Feng could feel that in those winds, there seemed to be huge power, coming from all directions in the west, rushing towards Black Dragon Xia.

After the initial shock, Sia quickly adapted to these powers. She claimed and took back the power of her ancestors from the theater.

The ground shook underfoot, and the ground covered with scarlet carpet shattered into pieces, and then floated in the air under the force of power.

"Bang——"

A series of explosions sounded above my ears.

Li Feng, who was no longer under the control, looked up and saw those brilliant crystal lanterns with candlelight hanging on the ceiling of the hall.

They couldn't bear the huge pressure and burst one after another.

But the broken metal and crystal fragments were not pushed around by the explosion. They remained still in the air in a quiet posture.

The velvet curtain was removed from the stage and the pillars around the hall were crumbling.

In an instant, the theater of sorrow that was killing him just now was now being destroyed at a devastating rate.

Suddenly, a flash of blue light appeared in the corner of his eye.

Li Feng looked immediately and saw that the blue was actually an erratic ghost.

It seemed to be dissatisfied with Sia taking away the power of the theater, and ferociously pounced on Sia.

Behind this ghost, there were dozens of screaming ghosts, and they all rushed toward the stage.

Looking at the number of those ghosts, Li Feng suddenly became worried. Just as he was about to take action, he was pulled behind by Xia.

The next second, he saw Shia, who had gained the power of her ancestors, crushing those ghosts.

There was a flash of light, and the ghosts didn't even show the slightest threat before disappearing.

‘It turns out that this is the power of the Black Dragon Ancestor. ’

Li Feng stood next to Xia and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the hall that continued to be broken but did not threaten them at all.

He discovered that in the lost land where the power of the black dragon ancestors existed, Shia, as a black dragon, was almost invincible.

And not only that, she can also absorb the power here.

‘This should be what the Black Dragon Queen wanted to do back then. ’

Just as he was guessing this, Li Fengjue's eyes suddenly darkened.

When he opened his eyes again, he was actually sitting at the desk in his room in Blue Jade Manor.

On the table in front of him, the snow-white gold-plated invitation was quietly placed.

‘Did you wake up from a dream? ’

Li Feng took a deep breath and moved his body.

Later he found that everything was normal and he was not injured at all.

'call--'

In any case, there was no danger, and I finally escaped from that place safely.

Li Feng was a little lucky, but also a little scared.

Fortunately, Shia fell into the dream with him, the last black dragon in the Endless Sea.

If it weren't for the power of her ancestors in that place, and she happened to be able to access these powers...

Alas, otherwise this matter would be difficult to handle.

Just as he was thinking this, the snow-white and gold-plated invitation letter in front of Li Feng suddenly burst into flames.

Ashes carrying sparks flew into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Something suddenly occurred to his mind, but at the same time, lines of text appeared in front of Li Feng's eyes amid the ashes floating in the air.

[You passed the Land of Loss - the first floor of the Theater of Sorrow]

[You gain the power of a hunter and are successfully promoted to a second- and third-level hunter]

[You have obtained the performance props in the drama - "The Birth of the Cinnabar Cup": the Cinnabar Cup]

'Uh this...'

As scenes of text flashed before my eyes.

A straight cup with a round bottom and a simple shape painted in vermilion with manic patterns appeared on the table in front of Li Feng.

‘This is...system reward? ’

Pick up the cinnabar cup that can be held with one hand on the table. In the performance just now, it was this small cup that killed the knight and the mother of the mountain.

But, is this a clearance reward given by the system?

Li Feng thought so, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

Probably not, the rewards given by the system will be directly put into the system backpack.

And this cup actually appeared directly like the dagger was taken out of the dream that day.

Therefore, the system prompt just now is just a prompt to digitize the promotion harvest.

Because he passed the first floor of the theater, he was successfully promoted to a higher level on the hunter path.

He also received a cinnabar cup, an important prop for the first-floor performance.

But Li Feng immediately realized that these were not the point. The point was - the first floor of the theater.

So, this theater of sadness should have many more layers.

Recalling the tower of the Theater of Sadness he had seen in his dream, Li Feng felt that this was indeed the case.

But compared to then, his mood has changed now.

At that time, the information given by the official players said that Transcendents below the third level must try to stay away from the Theater of Sorrow.

Similarly, Li Feng was desperately trying to escape from that strange place.

But now, since Shia is invincible in that place, and since she can be promoted every time she passes a level.

So for this tower, the higher it is, the better.

However, that invitation letter was...

…

"I've been promoted! I'm now a second-level, first-level Spellweaver! I've been promoted to a level all at once!"

"It turns out that the legend is true. My ancestors really injected power into the earth!"

"So you are saying that my mother collected the heads of gargoyles in order to regain the power of her ancestors?"

"But...where did you know the spells used in those rituals?"

"Oh, by the way! I see that the tower is so high, can we still go to the second, third, and fourth floors?"

"Eh? Can you please stop sleeping? The sun is shining on your butt. Wake up!"

The next day, when the sun had just risen, Xia ran to Li Feng's room, noisily asking questions around him.

Unlike Xia, Li Feng was nervous in the player world for half a month because of the Theater of Sadness.

Now that it's finally solved, it's time to prepare for a good night's sleep.

But he was woken up by Xia early in the morning.

Li Feng raised his eyes slightly and looked at Xia sitting on top of him. Li Feng felt that if she hadn't turned into a cat now, he would have picked her up and thrown her out.

As for Xia, she was so excited that she stayed up all night because of what happened last night, and she also held back everything she wanted to say to Li Feng.

Finally, until dawn, I felt that Li Feng would get up, but I also felt that it seemed wrong for humans to go to the opposite sex's room early in the morning.

But she was anxious, so she turned into a cat and came to find Li Feng like before.

But what surprised her was that this human being had an unusually lazy sleep today.

‘Looks like you’re tired——’

Seeing this, Xia stopped disturbing him and lay quietly on Li Feng, watching him and waiting for him to wake up.

After a long time, Li Feng, who had almost had enough sleep, finally opened his eyes and began to answer Xia's question:

"First, you can find ritual spells by reading more books."

Li Feng lied about the gargoyle head with the words on it.

"second."

Under Xia's expectant eyes, Li Feng continued:

"If you want to go to the second, third, or fourth floor of the theater, you must receive another invitation letter."
