Chapter 96 Protecting Alia
Deep in the Guerra Valley, Chen Ping followed Aaliya, feeling a little uneasy.
A day and a half has passed since entering the secret realm.
The quantum flame bomb that was originally intended to be the most important trump card has been used, and one of the two blood pills has been used.
Fortunately, the flight of Mechanical Wings has cooled down.
According to his current state, he has no problem dealing with level three scarlet beasts. He can even face dozens or hundreds of them at the same time as long as he turns on "Sacrifice", not to mention the level four Xiao Hei's assistance.
However, we have already encountered two scarlet beasts whose strength has reached level four, one is the Cat Demon King and the other is Kehel.
According to Chen Ping's experience, the final boss of this secret realm will definitely not be lower than level four, and the power of bloodline will be stronger.
In this way, even if you use all your cards, your chances of winning are less than 50%.
Just as Chen Ping was thinking secretly, bursts of "woo woo" sounds came.
"What is that?" Chen Ping looked carefully.
Mummy corpses with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks appeared in the distance, wandering aimlessly.
"That's...our dead elves, the undead souls of the elves...actually turned into zombies!" Aaliya's sky-blue eyes widened, and her fair and tender hands covered her slightly open lips, His face was full of disbelief.
At the same time, the wandering zombies also discovered Chen Ping and Aaliya.
They ran over crazily, and attacked Chen Ping with their sharp and dry claws.
"Level 3?"
The third level zombie is equivalent to the strength of the third level scarlet beast, and the zombies transformed from the elves have lower blood power than humans. Chen Ping said nothing, and the fire knife in his hand flew up and down. In a moment, he chopped it down. A big piece.
"You actually have so much experience?"
Chen Ping was surprised to find that the experience provided by zombies was much higher than that of ordinary third-level scarlet beasts. Originally, killing the Cat Demon King allowed Chen Ping to be promoted to two stars, which was still far away from three stars.
But now the progress bar is halfway through.
"To be able to resurrect so many elves in a short period of time, there must be something wrong with the big magic circle in the center of the Dawn Forest!" Alia said.
"The Great Magic Array?" One of Chen Ping's tasks is to repair the Great Magic Array. There may be key clues here.
"I can't remember things clearly either. I need to retrieve my memory!" Aaliya frowned slightly.
According to the sheepskin map, the treasure chest Alia is looking for should be nearby.
"Xiao Hei, go and investigate!"
The valley was so large that it was difficult to determine the exact location of the treasure chest. Chen Ping had to ask Xiao Hei to help while he continued to save the undead.
Time passed quickly and it was night. This was Chen Ping's second night in this secret realm. When he was looking for a place to rest, news came from Xiao Hei.
"Master, if you see a glowing box, it should be what you are looking for!"
"I'll go there now!"
Chen Ping responded, taking Aaliya and running towards Xiao Hei's position.
On the way, many undead souls were saved.
Passing through a bush, Chen Ping saw a wooden box that emitted a faint light.
The surface of the wooden box is painted with complicated patterns, which seem to have experienced countless years of baptism and formed a unique texture.
There is a lock on the front, inlaid with shimmering gems, sometimes shining with a faint blue light, sometimes glowing with a warm golden color, not strong, but enough for people to spot it in the dark.
As the night wind blows, the light of the wooden box seems to be brighter, as if it resonates with nature.
"Princess Aaliya, is this the treasure box?" Chen Ping asked.
"It should be!"
"Should?" Chen Ping frowned slightly, stepped forward to pick up the wooden box, fiddled with it a few times, but did not open it.
"You don't see the keyhole here either?"
When Chen Ping was confused, Aaliya stretched out her hand: "Dear warrior, let me try!"
When the wooden box was handed over to Aaliya's hand, it glowed brightly.
The lid of the wooden box also opens naturally.
Some blue fragments slowly rose up and turned into blue light, sinking into Aaliyah's body.
"Is this a memory fragment?" Xiao Hei landed on Chen Ping's shoulder.
"Maybe, it turns out that the memory fragments are literal!"
Chen Ping had experienced more than a dozen scarlet secret realms in his previous life, but he had never encountered this situation before. At this time, he could only watch silently.
It was originally thought that after those "memory fragments" entered Aria's body, she would be able to recover her memory and then start subsequent tasks.
But Aaliya seemed to be frozen, standing motionless, even her eyes were dull.
"What's going on?" Chen Ping walked around Aaliya.
"Master, isn't she the one?"
"It should be...impossible, right?" Chen Ping was unsure.
Just as he was about to test Aaliya's breathing, the bushes in the distance began to shake wildly, and then countless zombies rushed from all directions.
"Xiao Hei, protect her!"
Chen Ping confessed, immediately picked up the fire knife and went to intercept.
However, there are so many zombies that Chen Ping alone cannot kill them.
Fortunately, after Xiao Hei reached level four, his strength increased greatly and his speed increased several times.
Although those level three zombies are powerful and numerous, they move slowly.
One person and one insect could barely keep a vacuum around Aria, so no zombies could get close.
"Master, I'm so tired!"
"Xiao Hei, keep holding on!"
"How long will it take?"
"Uh... soon!" Chen Ping replied.
The high-intensity attack quickly pushed Xiao Hei and Chen Ping to their limits.
Chen Ping could still use potions to support him, but Xiao Hei was close to collapse.
"Master... I really tried my best. Can you let me rest for five minutes? Four minutes is fine!"
The two held on for half an hour, killing thousands of level three zombies during the period. Xiao Hei really put in a lot of effort.
If it was just Chen Ping, he could easily hold on.
But there was Alia next to him, and Chen Ping had to take care of the zombies in all directions, which made him a little overwhelmed.
The turntables exploded by the level three zombies were not few, and the most important thing was that many of them contained life potions!
The high-difficulty Scarlet Secret Realm did produce a lot of life potions, which was one of the reasons for the rapid depreciation of high-level life potions.
Chen An got the potion talent, which was only effective in the early days of the apocalypse and attracted many strong people. In the real late stage, life span was not so important. The most important thing was attributes and talent.
Without sufficient strength, even if you have a lifespan of 10,000 years, you are just a tool for the strong to extract the turntable.
"Xiao Hei, you take a rest first, I will guard for a while!"
Chen Ping directly activated the "Sacrifice" talent, and the bonus of all attributes increased by three times. Now the most important thing for him is agility, which can move faster to prevent zombies from approaching Alia.
"Master, you are really too strong!"
"If the master is not born, the universe will be like night forever!"
"My master has the talent of the emperor!"
"My master is the emperor of heaven, suppressing all enemies in the world!"
"Holding the sun and the moon and picking the stars, there is no one like my master in the world!"
"Master, I'm sleepy, take a nap first!"
After waving the flag and shouting, Xiao Hei suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep directly on Alia's head.
"Xiao Hei!"
"Hurululu..."
"Xiao Hei, help me guard for another wave!"
"Hurululu..."
Chen Ping was speechless for a moment, feeling that this Xiao Hei was really unreliable.
However, it has helped to guard for half an hour, which was the most intense period of zombies' attack. Now it has to relax a little.
Of course, if Chen Ping guards by himself, he still needs to use "Sacrifice" frequently, otherwise it is easy for zombies to approach Alia.
"Advanced Life Potion!"
"Intermediate Life Potion!"
...
While Chen Ping was saving the zombies, he drew the life potion in the scarlet turntable and fought sustainably.
As time went on, Chen Ping began to defend subconsciously, and the number of times the "Sacrifice" talent was activated was much less. Occasionally, he would use the "Speed" in the mechanical wings, which was enough to deal with these zombies, which only burned a year of life.
In the blink of an eye, there were fewer and fewer zombies, and the strong tiredness and fatigue could no longer be resisted by potions and willpower.
"Huh! I slept so well!" Xiao Hei shook his wings and twisted his body.
"Master, I'm here!"
"Can you defend yourself?" Chen Ping asked.
"Um... maybe, possibly, probably, I can't hold it..."
"Hey? Master, why did you fall asleep?"
"I said I might not be able to hold it!"
"It's a hard life for insects. I met such an unreliable master. There's nothing I can do. Who told me to be a loyal and good insect?"
After a night's rest, Xiao Hei has recovered to his peak state.
And after two days of fighting, Xiao Hei feels that his strength has improved a little. Now he is at the fourth level and is very stable.
There are not as many zombies around as last night. Xiao Hei can fight alone with ease.
"There's nothing I can do. It's just so powerful. I'm the queen of the alien insects!"
At the entrance of the valley, the two sisters Kher were looking worriedly into the depths of the valley.
"Those undead seem to be decreasing rapidly!" Kher was a little surprised.
"I believe in that upright and kind warrior. He will definitely bring light to the Dawn Forest!" Klar said firmly.
"I do feel that he is extraordinary!"
"Sister, if it weren't for him, I would have made a big mistake. He is my benefactor. If possible, I would like to follow this warrior and go to another world to experience!" Kral whispered.
"Are you leaving the Dawn Forest?"
"Our mentor once said that if you want to become a truly powerful magician, you must go through the test of life and death and tempering. In the Dawn Forest, I will never become stronger!" Kral continued.
Kher frowned slightly: "Do you want to become stronger? Or are you attracted to that warrior?"
"Sister, you..."
"I think the princess seems to have fallen in love, sister, you still..."
"Sister, I just need to follow the warrior, no other requirements!" Kral said.
"Sister, why are you doing this... um..."
"What's wrong, sister?"
"I, my chest suddenly hurts!" Kher suddenly sweated profusely, curled up, and squatted on the ground.
"This... what should I do?" Kral panicked.
