Chapter 122 Deep Dive
Chapter 122: In-depth dive
Anubis waved, and all five spacecraft flew over and lined up in front of us. Then the five ships turned around with the same movement and began to descend towards us. The strange sails on the side of the ship strings gathered together and pointed to the sky with tightly attached to the side of the ship. A strait board was opened on the side of the hull, and a folding staircase stretched out from above. The five ships did not land until the end, but maintained a few centimeters of gap with the ground, but the escalator had already touched the ground and could be used.
Kohopra told us: "This is the only ship that can sail on the Styx - the Extradition Boat. Now everyone is on board, we will take you to the final test site."
This so-called test is really mysterious. Not only did it drive away the audience, it also took us to an unknown location on the Styx. Anubis urged everyone to get on the ship quickly. Although the players were a little confused, they still got on the ship quickly.
After arriving on the ship, I carefully observed the situation above. The upper layer of this ship is basically no different from ordinary wooden sea boats, but since it can fly, it must have a special driving device. The two sides of the sails on the side of the hull are obviously not real power equipment. In this completely windless environment, the only function of the sail is to act as a resistance plate, and there is no possibility of providing power. I am sure there must be many secrets hidden under the deck of this ship.
After we got on the ship, the spaceship left the shore and began to fly towards the Styx. Koh Pra and the other gods also boarded five ships. Anubis stood on the bow of our ship and said to us: "Next we will wait for a relatively long journey. I hope everyone will not cause trouble among the sailors. In addition, let me say to the adventurous people, the Styx is the River of the Dead. Its function is to separate the human world and the underworld. No one can fly on it by relying on his own strength, so don't think about leaving the deck range, otherwise we will ignore it if it falls."
"Since you are responsible for leading the team, at least we have the responsibility to ensure that we are safely responsible before the test, right? If someone falls behind, you should always save it, right?" asked a player.
Anubis stretched out a finger: "First, I said, this is the Styx River. No one can fly alone here, including us gods. Second, I am not interested in being a nanny for you, so don't expect me to help. Third, the Styx River is the River of the Dead. As long as you adventurers fall down, you will be invaded by the wronged souls and die immediately. And then, even if your souls are recalled by the mages of the Resurrection Temple, your souls will be dirty and carry more than ten thousand evil souls. Oh, by the way, it seems that being touched by the Styx River water will erase your experience level. How much is it?" Anubis pretended to be thinking. Then he suddenly turned around with a smile and said, "Ah! By the way! Level 30. How about it? Is it satisfying? Hahahaha!"
"What does he mean?" A female player asked the people around him carefully.
The player next to him explained: "If we say it, as long as we touch the water below, we will die immediately and drop to level 30. And after resurrection, you will appear in the red state, and the evil value is more than 10,000."
"Such a serious punishment? The loss at level 30 is very serious!" the girl said in surprise.
Another player said: "It should be level 31! It is impossible to wash away ten thousand evil values. If you bring that evil value, leveling will be very hard and very troublesome. It is better to commit suicide again and lose level 31 and then practice back. This is faster."
"Level 31!" The fourth player sighed. "I'm already over eight hundred levels now, and falling thirty-one levels means I have to go back to more than seven hundred and ninety levels to get back to the most difficult bottleneck to get up again!"
With Anubis' warning, the people on the ship were much more honest. Obviously, the loss of level 30 plus 10,000 evils is enough to scare most people. Of course, there are also people who can't be scared. At least I am one of them. The River Styx! Which is better, or the Sea of Silence? If I guess correctly, the River Styx will eventually converge into the Sea of Silence, which means its composition should be roughly the same. Since there was no problem with me falling into the Sea of Silence last time, the water of the River Styx should not pose a threat to me, of course there is no need to
It was better for me to stand on the boat. It was not worth it. Another thing is that last time I was not affected by the Sea of Silence, I guess it was because my evil value was too high. The Sea of Silence, full of evil power, recognized me as its material of the same attribute, so it was completely unattacking to me. But now in the whitewashing state, it will definitely be done if I fall down. After thinking about it, I would summon the second generation immediately. According to the attributes, the second generation can help me change the attributes of evil and justice at any time. Now it is better to change it to the attributes of evil.
I found a quiet corner for the second generation to help change the attributes. The process is very simple. As long as the second generation and I were facing each other with the index fingers of each other, then the attributes of our two places suddenly changed. However, according to what Anubis said, I should have replaced me with the evil attribute, but the second generation has not changed, but now there has been an exchange. After I became the evil attribute, the second generation was actually whitewashed. The reason is probably because the evil value on me was too much, which led to the second generation's evolution surpassing Anubis's expectations, so there was a situation outside the scope.
After the exchange, I took back the second life first. Then I saw that no one around me was paying attention to me, so I began to move carefully to the cabin entrance. This is a spaceship. If it can achieve its core technology, it will have a great effect on our guild. Now the energy consumption of land anti-gravity devices is too high. If there are devices like gods that can drive them with magic power, it will be great.
I moved to the door carefully and confirmed the positions of several ship gods again. Fortunately, they were all at the bow of the boat, and I was the stern of the boat, which was relatively safe. While the people around me were not paying attention, I suddenly opened the cabin door and flashed in.
This is just the entrance room of the lower cabin. There is no one inside, only a few wooden barrels piled up. There is a downward staircase in the center of the room. I didn't step on the stairs and slid down the handrail. This is the cabin area. At first glance, it was all rooms, probably the crew warehouse. Continue down the stairs, but the result is the same cabin area. I slid down the floor again, and as soon as I entered, I found that the situation was different from the above.
There was a sound in front of me. I dodged and hid behind a huge pillar on the side. Two soldiers from the Death Legion who looked very similar to Anubis climbed up the stairs and almost saw me. After they got up, I stretched out and looked at it. This floor was full of thick earth pillars, without rooms, and looked like a cargo hold. However, there was light shining in the center of the cabin. There were too many pillars, and I couldn't see anything in the center, but I just saw a very strong light source there.
Move carefully between the pillars and gradually move closer to the center. Soon I discovered the secret hidden in the middle. There was a golden ball of light floating there, and there was nothing around the ball, just it was suspended there, slowly rotating while emitting bright golden light.
"Ayue, the energy is almost insufficient. Go and call Class 3 to come and replace people." A voice came from the opposite side of the light ball.
"I understand, I'll stop first, you guys." Another voice sounded. Then a guy who looked like a priest walked out from the opposite side, and I hurriedly hid behind the pillar. The guy walked up the stairs I had come down, and then I quickly ran towards the pillar that was farther away. Not long after I hid, the guy walked down the other person.
After those people came to the light ball, one of the bald heads said, "Okay, we'll start relaying. You're ready to withdraw."
"Okay, we're ready." The voice opposite replied.
The bald man waved his hand, and the few people he led recited a spell together, and then suddenly raised his hands at the same time. Each of them shot a golden light belt from each palm to connect to the golden light ball. Then the group of people opposite and the light bands automatically disappeared, and then all of them came out.
"It's so exhausting. Okay, let's go and rest." The leader of the group led the people away, and the new arrival continued to input yellow light belts into the light ball. These were obviously the ship's controllers, and they were all very advanced mages, and maybe even some particularly low-level gods. The light ball in the middle should be the power device of the ship. But it seems that it's not easy to steal this thing. First of all, I'm not sure whether this thing is a driving device. Secondly, what if I take this thing and sink the spaceship? Although I don't care about the water of the Styx, it's very troublesome to get lost in such a place.
After thinking about it, I decided to give up theft plan. The target value is uncertain, the danger is uncertain, and it is possible that the gods may offend this. The overall analysis result is very unprofitable. I carefully returned on the same route, but when I arrived at the second floor cabin, I suddenly heard the sound of the door opening on it, and it was obvious that someone had come down. There was only a straight passage here. There was no place to hide people. In a hurry, I ran to the nearest cabin and pushed the door, but it actually locked it. I quickly changed the door opposite. Fortunately, there was no lock here. After entering, I quickly closed the door and scanned the situation in the room.
Cargo hold. So lucky! Wait. Cargo hold? What will be the cargo delivered by the gods? Treasures?
There were more than 30 boxes of large and small in the cabin. I carefully walked to one of the boxes and took a look. The box had a lock, and the structure was very complicated. There seemed to be a light red light wandering outside the box, probably with a magic seal.
Open the Phoenix Dragon Space and called Ling out. "Shh, don't say anything, help me see if the magic protection above can be turned on?"
Ling just took a look and said, "This is a very powerful seal, but not to the outside world."
"What's the meaning?"
"The seal is not to prevent anyone from opening the box. If you want, this seal has no effect on you. Its function is to prevent things inside the box from opening the box by itself. There should be something very dangerous. Moreover, this kind of thing has an independent consciousness, at least it has some supervisory thinking, otherwise there is no need to add such a seal."
"That is, the things inside are very dangerous, right?"
Ling nodded, but then shook his head again. "Not necessarily. The Dark Temple has done this before, adding such seals to the storage of important treasures to deceive some people who know how to do it. With such seals, the more masters are, the less they dare to move."
Ling’s words make sense. A fully armed soldier would be scared by a heavy machine gun, but the primitive man would not. This does not mean that the primitive man is stronger than the soldiers, but it just means that the soldiers are higher. This seal also has the same effect. Only masters can recognize how powerful the seal is, and the more you understand the seal, the less you dare to touch it. But although I know that there is such a possibility, I will be really scared. What if the seal is not used to confuse people, but is really sealing something that should not be released, then am I going to suffer?
"Ling, do other boxes also have the same seal?"
“It’s all the same.”
"Okay, I understand." Open the Fenglong space and let Ling enter first, then I walked carefully to the gate and listened to the sound outside. The person who came down just now should have gone down to the cabin below, and there was no sound outside. I carefully opened a slit and glanced at the situation outside. Fortunately, there was no problem. I opened the door and quickly flashed outside. Sure enough, there was no one. I ran to the stairs and quickly climbed to the entrance cabin above, opened a slit, then looked at the situation outside, and then confirmed that no one was paying attention to me before I got out. I pretended to be nothing and slowly swayed out, then walked to the side of the boat, and moved to the bow bit by bit. It seemed that no one noticed me.
This damn ship is so mysterious. It was so depressing that he had discovered a special power device and a strange box, but he didn't dare to move one of them.
The spacecraft sailed on the River Styx for nearly an hour before finally reaching its destination. This place is quite different from the place where you boarded the boat. The ground here is not rocks, but sand. From here, it can be seen that it is an endless desert. It seems like it has returned to the surface world. There is a little difference here that the cave top is very high, or there is no cave top at all. Anyway, there is only darkness above your head and you can't see anything at all.
The spaceship landed on the edge of the desert and put us all down. The gods also walked down. After we all came down, Kohpura stood on the boat and said to us below: "This is the place where you are about to start the test. Now get the pointing needle from the gods you lead."
After Kohpura said that, he began to distribute some small things to the players responsible for themselves. Anubis also gave us one. This thing is a golden ball. I don’t know what it is for.
After seeing that everyone has obtained it, Koh Pra continued: "The thing in your hand is the pointing needle pointing to the end point. You can only rely on him to identify the direction for the next test. When you need to know the direction of the target, just take it out and silently recite the two signs in your mind, and it will point you to the direction. Your task is very simple, go towards the direction pointed at by the pointing needle. At the end point, you can see a teleportation array. Walk up and teleport back and complete the test. There is no personnel restriction for this test, and everyone here will participate in the test together. During the test, you can use props or summon creatures.
It is also considered a complete journey of riding the magic pet, and if you think it is necessary to attack other participants, we will not ask. In short, everything is up to you. As long as you can teleport back from the teleportation point within the time limit, it is considered qualified." A huge hourglass suddenly rose from the sand. Kohpura pointed to the hourglass and said, "This is the timer. Your pointing ball can also help you see the remaining time. The method is to silently recite the word time. Your time limit is six hours. It must be completed before this, otherwise it will be eliminated. Okay. Is there anything else to add to other gods?"
Anubis walked to Kohopra and said to us: "Remember, we allow each other to attack, but we don't encourage each other to attack each other. You are not responsible for it because of the time you are unable to complete the test. Also, there are many difficulties along the way. We are not trying to test your movement speed. Don't think that running fast is enough. Let me remind you first that the desert in front of you is not as simple as it seems, so be careful for seconds. Then, the test begins now."
As Anubis said, the huge hourglass was turned over and the gravel began to flow downwards, but the speed was very slow. After six hours, the test was over when it was all flowing.
More than a thousand players present here saw the hourglass being turned over, and they all hurriedly activated the pointing ball, and I was no exception. I saw a golden arrow appeared in front of each of us, and the arrow pointed in the same direction, facing the depths of the desert ahead.
An impatient player first summoned his mount and stepped on it. The strange creature with markings all over his body encountered trouble just after running twenty meters. The desert was completely frozen sand, otherwise Anubis said that the desert was not as simple as it seemed. The player's mount rushed too fast and found that the situation was wrong and it was too late to turn around. He quickly fell into half of it. Fortunately, this guy was smarter and jumped out on his mount. His mount was swallowed by the quicksand, but he jumped out himself.
With this lesson from the previous car, the people behind also learned their lesson. A player summoned a Pegasus and rode it on and flew out proudly. However, he had just flew over the position where the player was suffering, but the Pegasus suddenly took it down. The Pegasus that fell into the quicksand encountered the same situation as the previous mount. They could not move in the sand. They quickly sank down. His master also jumped out, but the mount was still finished.
Several smart mage players released creatures condensed by magic and experimented on it. It turned out that there was a forbidden airfield above the quicksand, and nothing could fly here. A large group of players gathered at the junction of quicksand and solid sand and searched anxiously, but found that the quicksand seemed to extend infinitely to both sides, and there was no place to go around at all.
There were many people and many ideas. Just when everyone was at a loss, a player suddenly made a strange move. The warrior, like me, had two large shields. He wisely threw one of them on the quicksand. As a result, he found that the shield had not sunk, so he stood up carefully. The shield sank slightly, but it did not sink. He immediately excitedly spread the other shield before the shield, and then stepped on the shield in front. Then he turned around and took the piece just in front and pounced on it, and then laid the shield alternately.
Although quicksand easily causes things to sink, its essence is the same as the soft snow. As long as you understand how to disperse the pressure, you will not sink. This warrior's method is a bit slower, but it is also feasible.
Inspired by this person, a large number of followers appeared, but not all of them. The professions with shields are only classified by warriors and knights. Moreover, not every knight and warrior will carry two shields, so this method has a limited range of benefits. However, three cobblers can still beat Zhuge Liang. More than a thousand people here are equivalent to hundreds of Zhuge Liang. The new method is soon released.
This is a player of the mage profession. He lay clumsyly on the edge of the quicksand, and then tried to roll around, but found that he did not sink, so he rolled forward and quickly caught up with the shield-mounted people in front of him. It was very troublesome to move the two shields back and forth, so the speed was naturally not fast. Rolling on the ground was much faster than them, and although the method of rolling on the ground was not elegant enough, it was very simple. It was personal. So in an instant, more than a thousand players rolling forward along the ground appeared in the desert. The scene was really spectacular.
Although most people adopted the simple and convenient method of rolling around, not all of them. There were only a dozen people left. Three of the women gave up directly because they felt that this was uncivilized. Girls' thinking was indeed quite different from men. The remaining people showed their magical powers. One of them actually took out a strange large package and summoned a toad-like demon pet to blow the air. After a while, the package completely unfolded and turned into a huge ball of earth.
I have seen this thing in reality, and many amusement parks have it. It consists of two transparent spheres, filled with air in the middle, and then people drill into the center of a sphere inside. This thing can walk on any quicksand, snow or even water surface, and you will not fall if you jump from the cliff when you drill in. The special forces seem to be equipped with this thing for the rapid departure of special mountain terrain. Unexpectedly, this player actually has this thing in the game, but it is obviously simpler than the display, as if it was sewn out of some animal's airbag. No matter what, this thing is more comfortable than rolling, and it is very fast. After that guy got in, he started running forward quickly. The sphere was influenced by the people inside and rolled forward. The huge sphere dispersed the pressure and did not react at all on the sand. He ran away with the ball like a hamster in the hamster ball, and the speed was much faster than the people in the previous two methods.
Anubis said to Kohopra: "The players are getting more and more powerful nowadays. I didn't expect that such tools can be brought."
Kohopra also said: "I hope to choose the right person, otherwise things will be difficult to deal with afterwards."
After seeing that guy run out, I looked at the person standing and laughed. The rest of the people were almost all the magic pet masters. It seems that our profession has a bright future. The magic pet masters summoned their magic pets one after another. One of them summoned a huge water spider, which can walk on the water surface with a huge foot pressure structure, let alone quicksand. The other guy actually summoned a sand scorpion, which was simply a quicksand prince. The magic pet masters appeared one by one, and finally came to me.
The huge body of the Trail Blazer was shocked by everyone around him. Although the size was not of level, the large magic pet was generally not too bad. Because my attributes were exchanged with the Second World, the Trail Blazer had also turned back to black.
Under my command, the Trail Blazer's huge body slid into the quicksand like a snake, revealing only a long strip on the top of the spine. I walked to the Trail Blazer's head, and there was a relatively flat place for standing.
"Okay, go ahead."
The huge body of the Trail Blazer was spread flat on the quicksand like a centipede. Although it was huge in size, the pressure on the surface of the quicksand was actually not as strong as that of a human, so there was no need to worry about falling into it. After receiving my order, the Trail Blazer quickly ran forward. Although he was only responsible for digging holes, the Trail Blazer was actually not slow. This time he completely allowed me and the people around me to see what the real desert ark is. Oh no. He is not a desert ark, but a desert speedboat.
Chapter completed!
