Chapter 133 This Is Our Agreement (Asking for Monthly Votes)

In the hall on the eighth floor of the underground maze.

Huang Bing turned around and went to a corner.

Ryan took her place and guarded with Qing Ling.

The empty hall seemed particularly quiet.

Ryan and Qing Ling were dozens of meters apart, one on the left and one on the right, guarding in front of the gate.

Miss Assassin's body was in the shadows and could not be seen clearly.

Ryan withdrew his eyes from Huang Bing's back.

He had many doubts about this "Ice Witch".

There was a "Witch Club Branch" on the off-island, but Ryan did not hear from the Magic Beast Witch Meloye that there were other witches on the island.

In fact, the number of witches was extremely rare, and it was already quite rare to have a witch on the off-island.

If there was a second witch, unless this witch had never used magic from beginning to end, it would be impossible not to be discovered.

No, that's not necessarily the case.

Ryan remembered what the Beast Witch, Meloye, had said during their previous conversation: "I have just taken over this 'branch point' for less than two months, and the previous person in charge disappeared without reason, so I lost a lot of intelligence sources, so..."

Before the Beast Witch, Meloye, there was another person in charge of the Witch Branch on the island.

It's just that this person in charge has been out of contact for a long time, so the Witch Headquarters sent Meloye to take over.

Could it be that the Ice Witch is the previous person in charge or a person related to the previous person in charge?

"Huh..."

Ryan exhaled lightly and stopped thinking about it.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he silently thought about his own affairs.

Now, the biggest thing in front of him is the "joy ritual" of [Glutton Hunter] and the "rule resistance" of [Pirate].

The problem of [spirituality] has always troubled him, especially the use of "True Charge Slash" and the rigid 10.0 [spirituality] requirement, which makes Ryan's desire for spirituality more urgent.

At his current level, if he wants to make a big breakthrough in [spirituality], he must get a promotion.

"Pleasure Ritual": In a grand occasion, complete the "pleasure" act recognized by more than a hundred people - the desire for desire and the pursuit of excitement are the most extreme manifestations of "pleasure".

In essence, "pleasure ritual" and "rule resistance" do not conflict, and even the two can complement each other.

One of the things that people like to hear and the easiest to recognize is: challenging the power represented by the rules.

Whether it is a ring match or a forced attack, as long as there is a legitimate and appropriate reason, it can be done.

If the challenge can be successful in public, there is no doubt that it is very consistent with the requirements of "pleasure ritual" and "rule resistance".

But the problem is that the reason why power is called power is because of its incomparable authority and strength.

If you want to challenge rules and power, first of all, you must be prepared for defeat.

The current island is in a chaotic period of breaking the seal of the underground maze, and it is difficult to find a suitable opportunity. Otherwise, Ryan really wants to disguise himself and find a reason to challenge the Libra Holy Church.

"I really don't know how other [pirates] were promoted to the second level."

Ryan couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Shaking his head, he suppressed his inner thoughts. No matter what, everything has to wait until this special mission is over.

Closing his eyes, Ryan began to meditate silently.

On the one hand, it is to deepen his understanding of [Storm Sword Skills], and on the other hand, in the state of meditation, his perception of the outside world will become more acute.

Ryan knows his shortcomings in spirituality. In this case, he will use the sixth sense brought by a strong physique to make up for it.

The perception derived from [physique] has a relatively small range, but the accuracy is higher. In the state of meditation, the range of perception can be widened by reducing the accuracy.

It is not certain which is better or worse. It can only be said that the applicable occasions are different. The former is more suitable for close combat, while the latter has more advantages in vigilance and exploration.

As the perception circle widened, Ryan could clearly sense the situation of other members.

Lanshan slept very deeply, snoring gradually, and it was obvious that he had entered a deep sleep state, which meant that Lanshan usually had teammates to help him and could rest at ease.

Lvchao, on the other hand, slept much more lightly, breathing steadily and smoothly, and was in a light sleep state. As long as there was a slight disturbance in the outside world, he would wake up immediately.

As for Huang Bing... she built an ice crystal sphere around her body to protect herself. Ryan's perception could not penetrate the ice layer, so he could not "see" her situation.

The same was true for Qingling.

Ryan could only vaguely sense where Qingling was, but he had no idea what she was doing, what posture she was in at the moment, and what expression she had on her face.

After simply sensing the situation of his teammates, Ryan no longer paid too much attention. He divided his attention into two parts, focusing mainly on the perception of sword skills, and a small part on perception and vigilance.

In this way, time passed little by little.

...

What surprised Ryan, Huang Bing and others was that

The group guarded the eighth floor for more than 20 hours. When the time came to the night of the second day, no enemy appeared.

It seemed that the eighth floor of the underground maze had become a restricted area, and no one dared to approach.

Such a strange situation not only did not make Ryan, Huang Bing and others feel relaxed, but made them more vigilant.

This brief calm before the storm is the most depressing.

The longer the enemy accumulates, the more violent it will be when it explodes.

Although they know this, Ryan and others can only choose to guard the entrance to the ninth floor. There is no other way - if the "Hanged Man" is lurking around and opens the stone door to the ninth floor while they are away, then this special mission will fail directly.

After a period of rotation and rest, the physical strength and energy of the people in the Overturned Palace have been well restored.

The five people gathered in front of the stone door and guarded together.

There are only one or two hours left before the one-day deadline.

Although Ryan and others don't know why the Palace Master "Chi Yuan" set the time for this special mission to one day, there must be her reasons.

And this should also be related to the purpose of the Hanged Man.

In other words, no matter how forbearing the "Hanged Man" is, he will definitely take action in the last one or two hours.

And what Ryan and others need to do is to guard this last hour or so.

...

Off-island, Saint Tos City.

It has been nearly 23 hours since the underground labyrinth was unsealed.

Under the high price of the Saint Tos royal family, almost all the professionals have gone deep into the underground labyrinth.

There are at least hundreds of people.

Although most of them are only first-level, third-level heroic professionals only account for a small part, but it is also terrifying.

Including the professionals of the Saint Tos royal family and Libra Holy Church, except for a small part of them who stayed behind, most of them also joined the crusade against the monsters in the underground labyrinth.

There was bloodshed, sacrifice, and naturally there were gains.

The underground labyrinth, which has been sealed for hundreds of years, has a terrifying amount of resources.

There are many rare monsters and magic plants in the outside world. It can't be said that they are everywhere in it, but it is not rare.

Saint Tos City, Central District, Royal Palace.

The water droplet princess Ariel moved lightly and came to the deepest part of the palace.

This is a forbidden place that no one knows about, created by her herself.

A faint glow emanated from the night-shining pearls inlaid on the wall.

On the ground, a faint blood was accumulated, and in the center of the room, there grew a strange tree about three meters tall and blood-colored.

The roots of the tree extended to every corner of the blood pool, faintly glowing, as if breathing rhythmically.

The water droplet princess Ariel strolled on the blood pool, and with every step she took, a liquid lotus would form to support her body.

She walked under the tree, lowered her head, and looked at the ice coffin in front of her, which was made of ice crystals, with a complex look in her eyes.

A few seconds later, the water droplet princess Ariel turned her head and looked at the blood pool that was gradually rising in level, and whispered: "It's almost there... Please wait a moment..."

"This is our agreement, I will definitely fulfill it!"

...

Underground maze, eighth floor.

Ryan, who was meditating, suddenly noticed something wrong.

It wasn't that there was any sound, but the spirituality in the environment suddenly became cold, giving people a feeling of being in the cold winter.

Ryan opened his eyes immediately. At the same time, Huang Bing, who was not far from him, noticed something strange and stood up. The strong spirituality and magic power mixed together, radiating around with her body as the center. In an instant, the whole hall was turned into an ice crystal world.

During the waiting period, the people in the Overturned Hall did not do nothing.

This "Frost Field" is a "special magic circle" formed by Huang Bing laying out several base points in advance and then interweaving and connecting.

Being in it, Huang Bing's combat effectiveness can be greatly improved, and she marked Ryan and others in advance, so the low temperature here will not have any effect on them.

The "Frost Field" unfolded by Huang Bing immediately alarmed Green Tide, Green Bell and Blue Mountain.

The three were weak because they had not sensed anything yet, but this did not prevent them from entering the combat state at the first time.

Ryan raised his hand, grasped the hilt of the greatsword behind him, and stared at the exit of the passage in the distance.

There was the only entrance to the upper maze passage.

Under the gaze of everyone, a drop of sticky black liquid appeared above the edge of the cave, and then stretched and fell.

With a crisp "click", the black mud splashed down. This sound was like the first domino to fall, triggering a violent chain reaction.

A large amount of black mud rushed in from the passage like a surging wave. Not only that, black mud also began to drip from the rock wall of the ceiling.

Huang Bing's eyes changed slightly. She half-knelt down and pressed one hand on the ground. The next moment, the "Frost Field" burst into brilliant light, forcibly stopping the falling and surging black mud outside the stone gate.

The surging black mud that gathered into a ball was like a hideous monster, twisting and roaring violently. Soon, it pressed the "Frost Field" back step by step until both sides occupied half of the area of ​​the hall, and then it eased.

The black mud that gradually calmed down began to condense and formed a black mud swamp, and in the center of the mud swamp stood a skeleton altar.

On the black inverted cross, the "Hanged Man" slowly raised his head, and the blood-red eyes behind the layers of hair fell on Ryan and Huang Bing, who were in the lead, and made a creepy low voice:

"You leave now, it's still in time..."

Ryan and others did not speak.

There was only one hour left before the mission deadline. At this time, how could they withdraw just because of the enemy's words?

The Hanged Man didn't care that he didn't get a response, or he didn't expect Ryan and others to give way obediently from the beginning.

Veins as dark as ink spread outward from the skeleton altar, and then dozens of figures slowly rose above the black mud.

It was not a human being, but some kind of deformed monster similar to a dog.

They roared and charged towards Ryan and the others.

"Bang bang..."

The moment they rushed into the "frost realm", the body surface of these deformed black dogs was covered with a light layer of white frost, causing their running speed to drop sharply.

Behind Ryan, Green Wave and Blue Mountain looked at each other, and they both launched a charge at the same time.

As the other two melee professionals in the team besides Ryan, they must take the lead at this time.

"Clang!"

The strong and burly Lan Shan, in the process of sprinting, kept tapping the mace in his left hand on the shield in his right hand, emitting bursts of special spiritual music, and the body of the deformed black dog affected by the music seemed to be out of control. Like this, he turned around and rushed towards the Blue Mountain.

——This is one of the third-level derivative professions of the "Soldier Path". [Shield Knight]'s signature skill, [Taunt], can not only improve its ability to resist attacks and resist knockback, but also forcefully "taunt" enemies within range. , causing it to only attack the Shield Knight during the duration of the skill.

Just as the second level of the "Vigil Path" is divided into shadow assassins and night knights, the main trunk of the path cannot be changed, but the details above have evolved slightly with the development of the times.

The methods of employment in these derived professions are only in the hands of a few people, and families with different characteristics have developed from this.

Of course, these are all things for later.

As Lan Shan's [Taunt] skill was fully activated, all the deformed black dogs rushed towards him. The individual strength of these deformed black dogs was not strong. At best, it was between the second and third levels. space, but there are too many to support it.

Lanshan alone can't hold on for long before he will be torn to pieces by these deformed black dogs.

Fortunately, Blue Mountain is not fighting alone.

Green Chao and Qing Ling are fighting alongside him.

There is Blue Mountain to attract hatred, and Green Wave's "Chao Hai Great Sword Technique" is called Qingtu's magical skill. Every time the big sword is swung, it can take away two or three deformed black dogs. Although Qing Ling's efficiency is not as good as Green Wave's So high, then she would guard the edge of the Blue Mountain. Whenever a deformed black dog wanted to sneak attack on the Blue Mountain from behind, she would kill it with her own hands.

Ryan and Huang Bing did not move.

The two of them observed the "Hanged Man" on the skeleton altar, their eyes full of solemnity.

Under their gaze, there was a "tearing" sound, and the straps binding the "Hanged Man" to the inverted cross suddenly broke.

The "Hanged Man" continued to fall with his head on the ground. When he was about to hit the ground, his hands hung down to support his body as his feet, while his legs stretched out to both sides to look like hands.

"Click... click..."

Amidst the deafening sound of bones twisting, the "Hanged Man" turned around in a strange posture.

The "head" below is not his head, he, no, it should be more appropriately described.

Its head was prominently located where its buttocks were originally.

The "Hanged Man" that had just landed stretched its body. In the process, the skeleton altar behind it began to melt and become smaller like black wax under high temperatures. Finally, it formed a handle that was inserted into the ground and made entirely of bones. The alien giant sword.

The hand stretched out from the tattered sleeve was as dry as firewood and like a corpse. He gently held the giant skeletal sword, and bloody flames ignited in the eyes of the "Hanged Man".

"Boom——!"

Like a thunder that exploded on the ground, the body of the "Hanged Man" revealed his true body and disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Huang Bing.

"Stab-"

The giant skeletal sword slashed downwards, swallowing the cold wind, which stung Huang Bing's skin and made the hairs stand on end.

The terrifying and gloomy spirituality is dense on the giant sword. This spirituality is so powerful that it even faintly exceeds the limit of the third level.

When the crisis struck, Huang Bing's eyes were still frightened.

An icy blue light flashed across her pupils, and a cluster of icicles rose rapidly from the ground, colliding hard with the slashing skeleton sword.

"boom!"

The ice crystals exploded, and under the attack of the giant skeleton sword, the icicles shattered inch by inch, making them vulnerable to a single blow.

However, the existence of icicles also hindered the falling speed of some giant skeleton swords. Taking this opportunity, Huang Bing quickly pulled away.

The blood-red eyes of "The Hanged Man" followed Huang Bing's body and followed closely. However, as soon as it took a step, large ice prism pillars exploded from the seemingly normal ground, like ice flowers blooming on the ground. , fixing the "Hanged Man"'s body in place.

At this time, Huang Bing, who seemed to be retreating, raised her hand and pointed her palm at the "Hanged Man". With the blessing of the "Frost Domain", an ice-blue, rolling ice ball quickly condensed in front of her palm. liquid sphere.

"go!"

With a soft drink, Huang Bing pushed his palm forward, and the ice-blue liquid sphere flew out. In an instant, he arrived in front of the "Hanged Man".

The skeleton sword in the hand of "The Hanged Man" rose up, trying to intercept the attack in the air, but the ice blue liquid sphere exploded before the skeleton sword could touch it.

The violent cold current swept across all directions, and even the air was frozen into ice wherever it passed. The "Hanged Man" who bore the brunt was naturally unable to survive. In the cold current, he turned into a lifelike ice sculpture.

Not far away, Huang Bing took a breath. The series of attacks seemed simple and casual, but each one required a lot of her mind, spirituality and magic power.

Huang Bing's eyes suddenly changed when she saw the blurred black shadow reflected on the ice crystal ground.

The figure of the "Hanged Man" in the ice crystal melted into black mud, and behind Huang Bing, the "Hanged Man" suddenly appeared, and the skeleton giant sword in his hand, wrapped in huge spirituality and power, slashed down.

"Bang!"

In the critical moment, Huang Bing controlled the magic power to form a diamond-shaped square shield, blocking the slash of the skeleton giant sword, but how could the ice shield condensed in a hurry block this powerful sword?

The ice shield was broken, and the skeleton giant sword paused slightly, but it continued to slash towards Huang Bing.

The pupils reflected the gradually enlarged skeleton giant sword, and Huang Bing's pupils shrank into needles.

There was no escape!

At the critical moment, a black and yellow sword came from the side and knocked the skeleton giant sword off.

Huang Bing felt her body lighten, and the whole person was pulled by a warm and powerful hand and flew backwards.

She looked at the back that appeared in front of her, which made her feel safe, and an inexplicable feeling emerged in her heart.

The friction between the black and yellow sword and the skeleton giant sword caused a large number of sparks to explode. When their eyes met, Ryan's mouth slightly grinned, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"You just rush to the long-range in a team battle? How can you not take me, a front row, seriously..."

The increasingly huge and surging black spirituality rose from the "Hanged Man", forming a substantial spiritual pressure, pressing in all directions.

The war is about to start!
