Chapter 121 There Is a Hidden Secret Inside
The rules are indeed very simple. Kohopura said that they are the same as the first level, that is, you can't wear your own armor, you can't use summoned creatures, in short, you have to do everything by yourself. But this time it's a little different. It's not that you can't wear armor in this game, but you're not allowed to use your own armor. Kohopura said that he would provide us with game-specific armor, but we haven't seen it so far.
The twenty people present looked at each other, and then one guy suddenly started to take off his armor. The others also understood and started to take off their armor. A large group of people suddenly appeared on the sand dunes near us. They seemed to be just ordinary players, probably the ones who became spectators after failing the test.
In addition to those spectators, my summoned creatures are also nearby. After all, this is my home field, and I did not recycle them after the last level. Between the auditorium and my summoned creature is the group fight area for twenty of us. It is not yet clear whether we can leave this area.
The first person to take off his armor did not start attacking immediately. Instead, he ran towards a female player and protected her. The two people must have known each other before.
The other seventeen people quickly took off their armor and distanced themselves. Like them, I also chose to temporarily distance myself. Judging from my personal attributes, even without equipment and summoned creatures, I should be much stronger than them. But without equipment, it means that everyone's strength is drawn closer. If these people gang up to deal with me, then Ruined. Without summoned creatures and equipment, I think I can deal with up to five to seven people. Any more may cause problems.
The twenty people including me are now in a group of nineteen. The man and the woman will definitely advance and retreat together, and the two of them obviously have an advantage over the others, so they are also the most confident. The man who moved the fastest said loudly: "Since everyone is going to fight with each other, how about we report each other's situation fairly? Looking at each other like this is not the answer anyway."
Seeing that no one seemed to have any intention of objecting, the man himself spoke first: "Then let's start with me. I am currently level 799, and my profession is a hateful warrior."
The female player behind him followed: "Priest of the Underworld, level 799."
After the two of them finished speaking, before the third player could speak, Anubis's voice appeared first. "I don't care what agreements you make during the competition, but lying is not allowed under my supervision. Please reintroduce the lady just now."
The female player spoke again in embarrassment: "Priest of Hades, level 803."
I really didn't expect this girl to have such a high level. The current mainstream level seems to be level 700 to level 780. Those who exceed 780 are generally relatively strong players, and those who exceed 800 are generally top players.
With this girl's precedent, others did not dare to make false reports, and they all revealed their actual grades and occupations. In the end, I was the only one left. Everyone's eyes were naturally directed at me.
"I am a three-professor. The first profession is the Judgment Knight in the Chaos Knight category, the second profession is the Guide in the Order Mage category, and the third profession is the Spirit Control Mage in the Special Profession category. The current level is 898."
After I finished speaking, these people were confused at first. Then came the surprise. They are confused because they have never heard of the three professions, and they have no idea what the characteristics of our three professions are. As for the surprise, it's because my level is a bit scary.
The girl with the profession of Priest of the Underworld suddenly asked: "We have never heard of these three professions. Isn't it the same as not saying it if you said it? You should explain the characteristics to us, right?"
"I reject."
"Why?"
"No reason, I just don't want to say it."
"It's not fair, we all said it. You're fooling us with a profession we have no idea about."
"I don't know if it's your business, not mine."
The girl immediately shouted angrily to the sky: "Your Majesty the referee, this guy doesn't fulfill the agreement, can you sanction him?"
Anubis's voice sounded again: "The agreement is an agreement between you. I am not a notary and have no obligation to help you maintain the agreement. Besides, according to your verbal agreement, you only need to name the professional name and level. He He didn’t lie, so why should I punish him?”
The girl was immediately speechless and could only look at me angrily.
Now that the professions and levels of twenty people have been revealed, only six of them, including me, four other players, and the girl, have exceeded level 800. Most people stay between 780 and 799. The fact that those of us can pass the first three levels so quickly shows that we are very strong, so out of the twenty people, six of them exceeded 800.
The girl suddenly said: "It seems that the problem is very simple." We looked at her together, but she smiled and said: "I heard that there will be several mixed battles between players in the future, and the elimination rate will be very high. , and if the enemy is too strong, we will suffer a lot. There are six people here, including me, who have passed level 800, but I only have 803. Then the other five are all higher than me. In other words, they are all very powerful. The five of you are We all jointly threaten in the future, if we don’t eliminate five of you in this game. In the only game, the five of you will definitely pass, and fifteen of us will be eliminated."
"What do you mean?" Another player who was over level 800 shouted immediately.
"It's not interesting. Take advantage of the crowd to eliminate the strongest opponent in advance. This is the simplest tactic in the game. Everyone is here to compete, and the comparison is based on overall strength. You have nothing to resent. So, let's get started?"
The other four players who were over level 800 immediately retreated to my side, obviously wanting to share my hatred. The fifteen people on the opposite side have set the five of us as targets for elimination. Naturally, the five of us have to help each other, otherwise we will really be eliminated.
A level 837 warrior player said: "The five of us are of high level. Even without equipment, we should be better than them. As long as one of you kills one of us, we will be safe."
Another level 821 beautiful mage said angrily: "I want to kill that bitch first. After all, they are competing with each other, so they should lose in a big 'chaos' fight. Such an arrangement is too immoral."
I walked between the female mage and the warrior. "Leave her to me. After all, she is over 800 years old. It may take a long time for you to struggle with her. There is a big level gap between her and me. It shouldn't take much trouble."
The female mage smiled and said: "Then it's up to you. Beat her hard, it's best to beat her into a pig's head."
"I'm not a boxer." After I said that, I squatted suddenly and a magic bullet flew over my head. If I hadn't reacted quickly, it would have hit me in the chest. That woman was really shameless and actually attacked me.
Seeing me looking at her angrily, she yelled arrogantly: "Haha, it's useless for you to look at me. Fifteen against five, without equipment, you won't be much stronger than us. Just wait and be eliminated. Bar."
"It is true that ordinary people cannot demonstrate combat effectiveness without equipment, but I am not an ordinary person." After saying that, I took a step forward. "Beast transformation."
The female mage next to me watched my body suddenly grow to more than two meters tall. She clapped her hands and jumped and shouted behind her: "Haha, that's great. I didn't expect you to transform into a werewolf."
The biggest reason why players cannot demonstrate their combat effectiveness without equipment is that without weapons, they only have empty attribute points. People without weapons have unimaginably low attack power. But werewolves don't use weapons, their claws are weapons. The rules of the competition do not allow the use of equipment, but the werewolf's claws are not considered equipment, and the claws do have the effect of weapons and can convert the power in the attributes into attack power.
The faces of the fifteen people opposite them all turned ugly. Everyone knows that the werewolf form actually circumvents the rules of the game. The lack of weapons and equipment has almost no effect on werewolves, and those unarmed people will only become more dangerous when facing me.
I said to the people over there: "Don't make any trouble. I want to kill that woman and the soldiers around her first. The remaining three spots will be divided among the thirteen of you. But don't mess with the five of us again."
The thirteen people looked at each other and then backed away obediently. They all know that it is impossible to fight players in werewolf form without weapons.
The woman kept retreating in panic. "Hey, brother, don't be angry, this is just a competition, we also want to win!"
"I also want to win, so you two have to be my stepping stone to victory." I said as I walked towards them. The thirteen people stepped aside far away, for fear that I would suddenly attack them.
The woman suddenly stretched out her hand: "Light Thunder."
A white ball of light flew over. But the speed of that thing is too slow and fluttering. The werewolf form pays more attention to strengthening speed than attack power. If I get hit by something like this, I don't have to mess around. With a flash step, he passed the thunder ball and appeared in front of the man. He looked at me blankly, swallowed, then yelled and punched me. I raised my right hand and the guy screamed and was knocked away.
The woman looked at me and then at the man, then turned around and ran. Unfortunately, she fell down after just a few steps. I jumped up and jumped in front of her. The fingers of the right hand are pressed together. Then he thrust hard into the woman. In her panic, the woman actually touched something in the sand, and without caring, she pulled it out and blocked it in front of her. There was only a squeaking sound of metal tearing. My hand penetrated the metal object and stopped just one centimeter away from the woman's chest.
I straightened up and looked at what was on my arm. "Shield?"
This thing has been penetrated by me. It seems that it should have been a shield before, and it was of a very low level. This is probably the competition equipment that Kohopura mentioned. Just now I was wondering why I didn't see this equipment, but I didn't expect that it was buried under the sand. These things were originally arranged to adapt to the competition, so the levels are very low. After transforming into a werewolf, my attack power actually did not drop much. Compared to my normal attack power, such a shield is about the same as a piece of paper, even if it is penetrated. normal circumstances.
The woman dug desperately under the sand as if she had seen a savior, and she dug out a helmet. Without even thinking about it, she threw away her helmet and continued digging. Suddenly she pulled out another staff. She turned around and stood up with a wild laugh. "In the name of Death, expel your soul and die."
A black ball of light suddenly flew out from the tip of the staff. It was too close and I didn't have time to get out of the way. After the black ball hit me, my body immediately flashed with several black arcs. Then he disappeared inexplicably, but outside the venue, my newly acquired Demon Pet II screamed excitedly.
It seems that this light ball belongs to dark energy. According to II's ability, the dark energy that hits me will be transmitted to him to ensure my light attribute, so this attack is completely ineffective.
The woman looked at me and then at her staff in surprise. "impossible!"
"Everything is possible." I stepped forward and grabbed her head. In werewolf form, the body became huge, and he held her head like a small rubber ball. Behind me, a person with the smell of blood was approaching quickly. Without even thinking, I grabbed the woman's head and threw her up, using it as a weapon to sweep at the people behind me. There was a bang sound of breasts colliding. The man behind me was knocked away again by me, and I chased after him directly, using this woman as a whip, raised it above my head and hit him hard. With a snap, the man spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and at the same time, the woman was broken into two pieces from her neck.
"It's your turn." I threw away the deformed head and looked up at the thirteen people.
Thirteen people looked at each other, and then suddenly a scuffle broke out. Soon three of the weaker ones died first. The voice of Anubis appeared above us at the right time. "Very good, five eliminaters are enough, then you can move on to the next level."
A flash around. The environment has changed, but everyone around us is still there, except that the bodies of the five people who were just killed disappeared, and the five of them actually resurrected and appeared in the audience. I saw the woman pointing her middle finger at me and shouting something, but I couldn't hear anything. They are separated from us and appear to be together, but in fact they do not belong to the same space. What I find strange is that the auditorium seems to be very wide. There were not many people watching our game. At this time, the number suddenly increased dozens of times, and it was full of people.
Anubis and Kohopura suddenly appeared in front of us, and then there was a flash of light not far from us on our left, where Tetu, the god of wisdom, and Maat, the goddess of truth, appeared together with his wife. Anubis said hello over there. "How is it going?"
Ma'at shook his head: "They are all waste, there are only a few qualified ones." After she finished speaking, seven players suddenly appeared in front of her, and these people were all looking around to observe the environment here.
After listening, Anubis turned his head to the other side, and we discovered that two other gods and another group of players had appeared over there. Then there were flashes like this one after another near us. Teams of players appeared nearby, each team led by two gods.
When the teams gathered around us exceeded several hundred, Anubis said to us: "Okay, from here on we need to wait for other personnel to arrive, so we will not start the following tests until noon tomorrow. As for now, you guys You can choose to stay or leave. If you want to leave, there is a teleportation array over there. If you don’t want to leave, you can play whatever you want. This is called the River Styx. When you want to come back, you can use any teleportation station to teleport here. But only you guys pass the test. Local people can come back. Others cannot teleport here. Also, if you don’t want to be eliminated, you’d better not be late. You must arrive before noon tomorrow, I don’t have the habit of waiting for others. Disband now.”
The surrounding teams and gods all issued similar notices, but the difference was that they spoke much more politely than Anubis.
After the team dispersed, I first opened the space door and took back the Evil Spirit Knight and the Ring Knight, and then stuffed the Demon Pets back into the Phoenix Dragon Space. Originally, I planned to find a place to practice at the guild level first, but Kohopula suddenly stopped me.
"Your name is Ziri, right?" Kohopura is much kinder than Anubis, but I always feel weird looking at this humanoid beetle.
"Is there anything else you can do?" Kohopura is a grandpa-level god after all, so he must be polite.
Kohopura said gently: "According to the regulations, the person with the best performance in the four tests in each team can ask for a reward from each of the two leading gods here, and you are obviously much better than others in our team, so You can make requests."
Wow haha, there are indeed benefits to respecting the elderly and loving the young, and Kohopura is actually here to give you a reward. But what is good? I first asked tentatively: "Are you allowed to ask for anything?"
Anubis said very fiercely: "Of course not. What do you think we are? Simply put, don't go too far. You can mention it to me first."
I thought for a while and said: "You also saw the space gate that I just summoned those cavalry. That thing can only be opened three times a day, so it is very restricted. If possible, can you help me modify it to unlimited times?" After thinking about it, this is it. More realistic. The Evil Spirit Knight and the Bell Knight are both very powerful in combat, but since the Earth Gate can only be opened three times a day, I dare not summon them many times. It would be great if you could summon them unlimited times, and many tasks would become very simple.
After hearing what I said, Anubis immediately said impatiently: "I refuse your request. Okay, you go and make your request to Lord Scarab."
"Huh?" I was stunned. "Aren't you going to help me fulfill a wish?"
"According to regulations, each leading god must listen to a wish, but there is no rule that this wish must be fulfilled. I heard your wish, and then I won't help you fulfill it. It's as simple as that."
faint! Anubis is truly a demon.
Kohopura said tolerantly: "Is this your wish? I can help you realize it."
"Yes, that's the wish."
Kohopura nodded, and then asked: "How did you open the passage there?"
I quickly summoned Fenglong and took out the teleportation ring. "Rely on the gems on this. As long as the ring belongs to me. Whether I take it with me or not, I can open this space door at any time, but only three times a day."
Kohopura took it and looked at it. "It's very simple. The limit on times is just because of energy issues. Let me help you figure it out." Kohopula took out some black powder and kneaded the ring in it a few times like rolling dough. Then he handed it back to me. "That's no problem. Although it's not unlimited summons, it can be opened ten thousand times a day. I don't think you're so bored that you open it four or five hundred times every hour, right?"
"Thank you, thank you. Thank you so much." Resolutely answering this question helped me a lot.
Kohopura said: "Then you can leave now, just remember to arrive on time tomorrow."
"Understood."
After leaving this so-called Styx, I can only go leveling. It's still early morning. The so-called noon tomorrow is actually more than thirty hours later. If you seize this time to level up, you might be able to level up again. Anyway, you are almost full of experience.
Not to mention, after more than a day of leveling up, I actually got a level up. Although the level is now higher and it is more difficult to upgrade, I took nearly 9,000 evil spirit knights to clean up the monster area by sweeping the streets, and the efficiency was still very good.
When we returned to the River Styx again, everyone was almost there, and there were many more people. You don’t have to take part in the test on the Day of Chosen right from the start. Our extra day of waiting is actually waiting for those who come after us to take the test. The location test has now been closed, and new arrivals can no longer participate. In other words, everyone who has passed the fourth level is here.
I looked around and saw that there were almost a thousand players participating in the test, which was much more than I expected. It seemed that everyone was of good quality.
Kohopula flew into the air and said to all the humans participating in the test: "Now we start the fifth test. If we can pass this level, then we can participate in the last two tests." Kohopula's voice caused a stir. There was a commotion. And he waited silently until everyone was quiet before continuing: "I know some of you have participated in the test before. I also know that there are quite a lot of test rounds, but this time the situation is special. So we merged some projects to improve The difficulty of individual tests has been reduced in order to select the most suitable people. Now I can tell you that the first four tests you have passed are actually auditions, and their only purpose is to screen out people who are not suitable to participate in the real test. From now on you still have three levels to pass, and these three levels are the real test."
There was another discussion below. After everyone calmed down, Kohopura continued: "I don't want to hide it from you. We gods are not just doing this test because we are bored. We are selecting suitable candidates to complete the subsequent tasks. , and I can’t tell you the content of the task until you pass it. But I can guarantee that the reward for the task is very generous. Now I will lead you to start the real test. The audience can leave. The next test Not open to the public.”
Kohopura's words immediately aroused a lot of scolding, because the audience and the test participants are not the same. The contestants who participated in the test were able to move freely from early yesterday morning until now, but the audience cannot come back once they are teleported away, so many people waited until now, only to be told that they are not allowed to watch, and it would be strange if they didn't scold them!
After Kohopura finished speaking, the audience disappeared behind us, and the environment around us changed. Until just now, the so-called River Styx has been flowing in front of us like an ordinary river, surrounded by the most common desert in Egypt, with a few plants on both sides, that's all. But the environment suddenly changed after the audience disappeared. The bright sun suddenly disappeared, and we were actually in a huge cave. The place is quite dark, but not so dark that you can't see anything. Above our heads is a cave roof made of rocks, and behind us is a stone wall with an entrance. In front of us is a black river with black liquid flowing in it. This is not the first time I have seen this water. The Sea of Silence that pulled me into the eighteenth level of hell last time also looked like this.
Because the channel itself was dark and the river was quite wide, we couldn't see what was on the other side. Anubis walked to the river and snapped his fingers, and then we saw five small bright spots emerging from the darkness in the distance, and those bright spots were gradually approaching us.
As those bright spots gradually approached, their true bodies finally appeared. Those things are actually - spaceships?
The thing coming from afar is a ship, and its shape is very similar to the ancient Egyptian warships. The middle of the hull is straight, but the ends are sharp. There are no oars or rudders on the boat, only two sails, and the shape is very strange. The two sails are not above the ship, but on the sides of the ship, spread out like two pairs of wings. It looks like a huge folding fan inserted into the two strings of a ship. But the strangest thing is the way the ship sails. It does not touch the water at all, but floats three or four meters above the water.
