Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 141 God's Relics
A team of nineteen players, not one can be missing, no matter what kind of danger they encounter, they must do their best to ensure the safety of every member, absolutely no mistakes can be made. Compared with Baiyunjian and Xijuanyikong, the defense capabilities and health points of Ferold, Hauge, Yun Wuying and Xiyang Canzhao are not much higher. Facing such a large-scale avalanche, their emphasis on agility is not very useful, it can be said that they are unavoidable, most of the damage can only be borne by the body, there is also a relatively large danger, and they need to be protected, and this responsibility falls on the ice master mage Haishang Mingyue. The five people squeezed together and hid behind the snow rock. Haishang Mingyue cast the "Ice Sealed Barrier" to protect everyone in it. Facing the impact of the snow waves, the protective magic of the same ice attribute has a better protective effect than Olympia's "Holy Light Barrier". She has the strongest anti-ice attribute and it is easier for her to lead the four of them out of the snow. The other melee professional players were all thick-skinned and strong, and there were snow and rocks blocking their way. The terrain they chose could effectively slow down the impact of the snow wave, and they would not be buried too deep. They should be able to survive on their own and not be crushed to death by the ice and snow so quickly. The most relaxed one was Real Madrid, riding a pterosaur in the air. No matter how large the avalanche was, it would not threaten him. Unfortunately, I needed to protect the silver suit, otherwise I could ride Taotao to hide in the sky and enjoy myself without suffering the impact of the snow wave.
The rumble was getting louder and louder, and the snow beneath my feet was shaking more and more violently. The surging snow waves were approaching rapidly, and seemed to be at least ten meters high. It was simply beyond human control. If I were to encounter such a wild avalanche on a flat slope, I would either be swept away or be smashed to death and buried deep under the ice and snow. Unless a miracle happened, there would be little chance of survival.
The snow wave finally rushed to our hiding place. The first to bear the brunt was Long Xingtianxia who was hiding behind the snow rock in the front. At the moment of being hit, he urged the "Poison Dragon Spear" and attacked the snow wave that was more than ten meters high, probably to reduce the damage of ice and snow and try to break through the snow as soon as possible. In the blink of an eye, the snow wave rolled in front of me and hit me on the head. I felt a black screen in front of my eyes. My body immediately became much heavier and was buried under the snow.
I can no longer feel the vibration. Finally, calm has been restored. The snow wave should be far away from us. The "Touch of Death" that my left hand has activated has not been retracted by itself, which means that the silver-clad person next to me has also survived the most dangerous moment of the snow wave and is still alive. I finally feel much more at ease that I have not made any mistakes on my side. I have the "Sacrifice" and "Unparalleled Guardian" magic as protection. Facing the impact of the snow wave, my health value has not been lost too much, but I was buried under the snow, and a chill came, indicating that my body has fallen into a frozen state. My movements are stiff and slow. Under the heavy pressure of the ice and snow above, it is very difficult to move even slightly. I am still suffering from the damage of freezing. My health value is constantly decreasing, and the values of various attributes have almost stopped recovering. If I can't break out of the snow quickly. I am afraid that I can't survive for too long to get rid of the danger of being frozen. Of course, we can't expect weak magicians like us to accomplish such strenuous work. It's time for Real Madrid, Long Xing Tian Xia and other strong and powerful players like knights and warriors to show their abilities.
Although I was buried under the snow, unable to move, and unable to communicate directly with other companions, I still maintained a spiritual connection with Xiaobai and other subordinates outside, and could clearly know what was happening. The first to take rescue action was naturally Huangma. He first helped Long Xingtianxia, who was shallowly buried in the ice and snow because of the "Poison Dragon Spear" for protection, to crawl out, and then rushed to the snow rock where several people from Olympia and Baiyun were hiding. Relying on the specific location indicated by the descending angels and their pets, they began to work hard to clear the ice and snow on it to save them from the predicament. Xiaobai also followed my orders and gathered the power of Feiying and other similar people to launch the "Wind Cracks the Sky" to help blow away the ice and snow on the surface. Long Xing Tianxia rushed to Hai Shang Mingyue and Yun Wuying and helped them break out of the snow first. As for me and Yin Zhuang Su Gu, as a great water magician, her ability to resist freezing is much higher than mine. After helping her to withstand the impact of the snow waves, I took back some of the protective effect of "Touch of Death" and strengthened my own protection. In this way, even if the time limit is exceeded, the "Sacrifice" and "Unparalleled Guardian" magics have lost their effectiveness and are buried under ice and snow and cannot be recast. I should be able to hold on for a while and will not die before Yun Wuying and Bai Yunjian.
Bajiugaoge, Afeng and the others climbed out from under the ice and snow with their own strength, dragging their stiff bodies and joining the rescue operation to dig us out one by one. Such delicate work can only be done by players, and the summoned pets, undead and angels are unable to intervene. Fortunately, because the terrain we chose can effectively weaken the power of the avalanche, and the protective measures we took are also quite effective, we finally succeeded in passing this dangerous pass, and none of the 19 members died.
The surroundings were in a mess, with all the remnants of snow waves rolling over. It was estimated that this should be a huge avalanche that swept across the entire Everest Snow Mountain. In order to keep the members energetic, the team generally chose to go offline and rest in stages. Now is the peak period of player activity, and basically everyone should be online, and all online player teams will be directly facing the threat of avalanches. If a single player can survive an avalanche, it may be attributed to luck. If a team of 19 players survived the disaster, it should mainly rely on strength - not only do they need to choose a relatively safe forward terrain, but also promptly detect the occurrence of an avalanche and make appropriate and reasonable responses. There must also be several members in the team who have the spare energy to protect those companions with weaker defense capabilities. Several factors are indispensable. Faced with such a sudden natural disaster, a team with weak strength or carelessness may find it difficult to maintain the safety of all members. As long as one member dies, in order to complete the mission. After resurrection, they still had to rush over and climb the snowy mountain. There were many dangers along the way, and the other members of the team would have to retreat to support them. All the efforts of the previous few days would be wasted. Everything had to start all over again. More than three days had passed, and there was only half the time left to complete the mission. The hope of success was probably not too great.
Although we have escaped the pain of being frozen by ice and snow, the danger is still not over. This avalanche seems to threaten only us, the foreign players, and does not seem to have much impact on the native ice monsters such as snowmen and snow monsters. We just broke out of the snow with the help of our teammates, and we haven't rested much. Our bodies are stiff and inconvenient to move. Our health and physical strength have not been restored. Some big and small snowmen and snow monsters have appeared on the snow nearby, wandering around. After discovering us, they rushed over one by one, howling.
There weren't so many monsters nearby before the avalanche. Perhaps they were swept here by the pouring snow waves. Because of the terrain, they stagnated and gathered more. There are only 19 of us. Even if everyone is a master and keeps in good condition, it is impossible to face dozens or even hundreds of monsters, including many level 9 snow monsters, and ensure that no one is lost. Moreover, many members are not in good condition yet. They have been buried in the ice and snow for too long and are still in a state of deep freezing. Even the Royal Madrid and Long Xingtianxia who escaped earlier have consumed a lot of energy to rescue us who were buried under the snow. They almost don't have much physical strength to evacuate as soon as possible. Facing the swarm of monsters, it is probably even more difficult to ensure the safety of every member.
After climbing up here with great difficulty, and luckily avoiding the dangerous avalanche. Before we had time to celebrate, we were attacked by these monsters. If we died at their hands, it would be too unfair to fail. However, the nineteen of us are all masters of various professions. We have been through many battles and have rich experience in fighting enemies. Naturally, we will not be frightened by the difficulties in front of us and lose our composure. After a few simple discussions, we decided on the strategy for the battle.
We can't retreat in a hurry. At this time, the status has not recovered. Many members are in a frozen state and cannot move easily. We may not be able to get rid of the monsters smoothly. If we are careless on the way, we are easy to be taken advantage of by them and face greater danger. It is best to stay where we are and take the time to rest. The flying pets, undead and angels that have not been injured in the avalanche will go forward and fight on the periphery to try to delay the monsters that rush over to ensure our safety and buy us more recovery time. While we swallowed the medicine that restored the three attribute values and replenished our losses, the silver-robed bishop Olympia, the only professional player who can eliminate the negative abnormal status, cast the "purification" magic to eliminate the physical strength of several players in the team who are still in a frozen state one by one, and restore their ability to move as soon as possible, so as to get rid of the monsters in time and avoid the battle lasting too long, which will not only waste time, but also easily lead to some unpredictable variables. Of course, the deep freezing state is not so easy to eliminate. Depending on the degree, it is necessary to repeatedly cast the "purification" magic. It cannot be completed in a short time. We must hold on here for a while. First, the freezing state of the silver-clad snow is completely eliminated. She is responsible for replenishing Olympia's mental power to ensure that Olympia continues to cast magic and activate the "Eye of Glory".
Now many members of the team cannot play their due strength, and they need to support and assist each other, cooperate against the enemy, and not disperse their actions. Therefore, they gathered around Olympia, under the cover of the "Eye of Glory", to prevent possible sneak attacks from the snowman and the snow spirit. Long Xingtianxia, Huang Madrid and other melee professional players guarded the outer layer, while our magicians, shooters and thieves stayed in the inner layer, trying their best to launch long-range attacks to assist in defense and prevent the approach of the monsters.
Facing a snow mountain beast of at least level 7, without the cooperation of the master, a general level 7 beast would not be of much use. Only the six-winged seraph summoned by Olympia, which might be of the lower level of level 9, could help a little. The main interception force could only be the undead under my command. Xiaobai used the ability of "gathering the dark wind" to condense the power of several ghost royals and some ghost kings, and at the same time cast the magic of "howling of the demon spirit" and "wind cracking the sky". Even the level 9 snow monster was like a drunk, staggering and struggling to rush forward two steps. The next moment, it might stagger back three steps. The level 8 snow spirit would be blown away by the strong wind as soon as it got close. Only the big and small snowmen could safely pass through its defense with the ability of "snow escape", but they had the "eye of glory" to easily see through their tracks. It did not pose much threat to us, and the power of the clan defended one side for us. Besides Taotao and Shaman, the weakest of the rest of the subordinates was also a green-bone dragon that was above level 8. Although they did not expect to have to fight so many monsters after the avalanche, and did not try their best to summon more undead, they were online for a few hours. The half-hour of "blood transformation" could not be delayed. They summoned six white-bone dragons, cooperated with the ancient book and some other bone dragons and green-bone dragons, and defended with all their strength. They even did not hesitate to lure the enemy with their own bodies, but they were still able to take on the responsibility of keeping the enemy out of the country. They blocked most of the monsters, especially the attacks of the snow monsters - not only because the snow monsters were high-level, but also because they were inconvenient to move and had to stick to one place. The snowballs they threw from a long distance also brought considerable trouble. Except for Yun Wuying and Xiyang Canzhao, whose bows and arrows had a range higher than the snowballs and could attack them first, the rest of the attack magic could not match the attack range of the snowballs, but the snow monsters liked to throw snowballs continuously. They would not rush to us easily, and we could not attack them actively. We could only let them stay a hundred meters away and throw snowballs, but we were powerless to fight back. Moreover, the snow monsters would not only attack in a straight line, but also throw parabolas, especially for teammates whose bodies were still frozen. Even if we arranged them to stay in the inner layer, it was difficult to ensure their safety.
We were outnumbered and needed to intercept the level 9 snow monster. It was difficult to take strict precautions against the nearly invisible snow spirits floating in the air and the snowmen who could "snow escape". Many of them slipped through the net and attacked us. However, we are all the best players. We were well prepared and naturally would not be easily defeated by these level 7 or 8 monsters. Under the illumination of "Bianguang Hua", those monsters that rushed to us would not be able to see and would be easily killed by us. Although the battle was fierce, the number of monsters attacking was not large, so we did not encounter too dangerous scenes. At most, we could say that we survived without any danger and persisted.
Relying on the powerful undead subordinates I summoned, as well as Olympia's "Eye of Glory" and "Purification" magic, and the concerted efforts of the rest of the teammates, we finally managed to hold on until all members were freed from the frozen state and restored their ability to move normally. As the battle continued, more and more monsters gathered around. In order to try their best to intercept the snow monsters, many of my bone dragons had been sacrificed, and some could not hold on. We dared not stay here any longer, otherwise we might be surrounded by more monsters, so we immediately began to evacuate. After adjusting the formation, Xiaobai used "Demon Spirit Howl" and "Wind Cracks the Sky" to open the way on the front, forcibly breaking through the encirclement of the monsters, and then he was the last one to block the pursuit of the monsters. After a lot of hard work, we finally succeeded in getting rid of the entanglement of the group of monsters and continued our mountain climbing adventure.
After this avalanche, I'm afraid that most of the expedition teams suffered casualties and had to start all over again. We went all the way up, and we didn't see any trace of other teams within our field of vision. This should be a good sign, as it meets one of the conditions for the appearance of the "God's Relics" - there is no second expedition team with complete personnel within a radius of ten miles. But I don't know how lucky we are and whether we can find the "God's Relics" as soon as possible.
Another two days passed, and we were still advancing cautiously. We did not experience any major dangers, nor did we encounter avalanches again, but we still could not find any trace of the "Relics of God". Even though we deliberately chose to force our way through several high-risk areas with dense monsters to meet the conditions for reaching areas that were difficult for other teams to reach, and we did not encounter other teams along the way, the "Relics of God" still did not show up to meet us, which made us more and more worried - it was very likely that it was helping other teams, who had worked hard for several days and successfully passed the test of avalanches. If another team took the lead in the end and did not even give us a chance, it would be too cowardly.
After resting and regaining our energy, we went online again and gathered with other members at the agreed gathering time to continue our expedition to Mount Everest. It was already the sixth day. If we could not find the "relics of God" today, as the end of the seven-day deadline approached, the hope of completing the mission would become smaller and smaller. After everyone arrived, they encouraged each other. We began to climb up. Just after more than half an hour, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed on the snow four or five hundred meters in front of the left, which immediately attracted our attention. We stopped involuntarily and looked over. The occasional exchange of eyes was full of hope and expectation, longing for the mercy of the god of luck. After flashing for a moment, the white light stopped and became soft. Finally, the true appearance hidden inside was revealed - the entrance of a cave appeared out of thin air on the snow, and the cave was white. I don’t know what’s inside, but the four large golden characters engraved above the entrance clearly indicate that it is the “God’s Relics”, the place where we have been looking forward to and trying hard to find treasures day and night.
Since the "Relics of God" appeared in front of our team, which had no casualties and was fully staffed, it must have been opened for us. This was beyond doubt. Many members, including me, couldn't help but cheer to celebrate this hard-won opportunity. Regardless of the outcome, at least we finally won a chance and can strive for the final victory through our own efforts. Even if we lose, it only means that we are not strong enough and we can't blame others. We won't blame bad luck and leave too much regret.
We saw the hope of completing the mission, but we were all experienced players, and we didn't let the glimmer of hope get us carried away and rush forward impatiently. Instead, we kept our battle formation and steadily moved forward. Anyway, there couldn't be another expedition team with complete personnel within a radius of ten miles. There were no competitors to compete with us. After all, the "Relics of God" was still four or five hundred meters away from us, and there might be some unexpected situation, creating a "darkness before dawn" to test us again.
It was a snowman. Wherever the "Eye of Glory" reached, it clearly showed that there were many snowmen around who were trying to approach us using the "Snow Escape". Once they entered the 50-meter protection range, they were forced to crawl out from under the snow due to the function of the artifact and showed their bodies. They were all level 8 snowmen. If it weren't for the protection of Olympia's "Eye of Glory", and we didn't relax our guard because of the hope ahead, we could launch an effective counterattack in time. Facing these many snowmen swarming out, I'm afraid it would not be so easy to deal with them. If a member died in front of the "Ruins of God" and lost the qualification to enter, the result would be too cruel.
In addition to Taotao and Shaman, I have used "Blood Transformation" to summon Xiaobai and six white bone dragons. It is relatively easy to deal with these eight-level snowmen, even though there are many of them, almost covering the three or four hundred meters between us and the "Relics of God". As long as we are careful not to be attacked by them using "Snow Escape" to sneak up on us magicians with weaker defenses, the snowmen are not superior to Long Xingtianxia and Huangma in close combat, and they cannot pose too much threat in a short time . We broke through all the way, but we fought steadily, maintained our formation, echoed each other and supported each other, and fought our way out, gradually approaching the "Relics of God".
Led by the melee professions, we entered the "God's Relics" one after another and got rid of the snowman's crazy attacks. The snow cave should be an independent space. Except for the members of our team that met the requirements, the rest of the players and monsters could not pass through, so our team of 19 members could search for the "God's Relics" in it with peace of mind.
The "Relics of God" is still a world of ice and snow. The walls of the cave are made of solid ice, and there is thick snow on the ground. There is a hall where we stand. There is a passage two or three hundred meters away, which is the only exit. Fortunately, it is wide enough to ensure that two or three white-bone dragons can fly side by side easily without affecting our actions. When the last dragon who stayed in the world also appeared beside us smoothly and gathered 19 members, the system prompt sounded in the hall, announcing that our team officially started the expedition of "Relics of God". As long as we can pass the test in the middle and successfully reach the deepest part of "Relics of God", we can get the reward of "Relics of God". Of course, in this process, we must also ensure that the personnel are complete, and no one can die, otherwise they will automatically lose the qualification to continue to complete the task and be forcibly teleported out of "Relics of God" immediately. We can't go offline in "Relics of God", otherwise we will be forcibly expelled. Lose the qualification to participate, and there is only eight hours at most. If you still can't get the "Relics of God" by then, it is equivalent to failure. There is no chance to continue.
After these were announced, the eight-hour mission countdown began. Time was limited, but we didn't know what tests we would experience. There were several difficulties waiting for us ahead. We didn't dare to delay any longer. The White Bone Dragon flew ahead to explore the way, and we followed behind, maintaining a battle formation, and walked into the only passage.
No ferocious monsters appeared. There were no traps. They walked carefully for nearly a thousand meters. They had seen the exit at the other end of the passage and had not encountered any danger. After walking out of the passage, there was a wide hall in front of them. However, it was not empty. Instead, there were thick ice pillars with a diameter of three or four meters. They were arranged very closely and did not leave too many gaps. According to the observation of the white bone dragon, the narrow part could only allow one dragon knight to pass alone, and the widest place could only barely allow three dragon knights to pass side by side. Fortunately, it did not reach the top, and flying pets and undead could fly freely. The exit was in front, and the straight-line distance was about 1,500 meters. Of course, due to the obstruction of the ice pillars, many places had to be detoured, and the actual crossing distance was probably much longer.
We had a brief discussion. We all agreed that there must be something strange about this hall. It might be the first test we face. We must first find out the truth before deciding on a strategy to pass through. No personnel can be lost. We can only rely on summoned creatures to explore the way. The most suitable land-based scout is definitely Saman. We assigned it to walk into the group of icicles. After walking a few steps, it was a little closer to an icicle. A white shadow flashed, and a big snowman rushed out of the icicle, swinging its arms and slapping Saman. Although it happened suddenly, with Saman's agility and high alertness, the big snowman naturally couldn't hurt it. It quickly dodged and jumped back to avoid it. After missing the first attack, the big snowman didn't fight back like it did on the snowy mountain. Without allowing Saman to launch a counterattack, it plunged into another icicle and disappeared.
After that, Shaman was attacked several times in succession. He suddenly rushed out from the icicles, slapped us, and then hid in another icicle. He didn't stay there whether he hit us or not. This kind of attack is more difficult to deal with than rushing out from underground. There is almost no time to stop. When he appeared, he was slapped. If he reacted a little slower, he would be in danger of being hit. The hall we had to pass through was full of icicles. Unless we flew over, we couldn't avoid the attack of the big snowman. The strength of the level 8 big snowman was not that strong for us. No one would take it seriously in a one-on-one confrontation. But it was quite difficult to ensure that everyone passed in such a complex environment. Real Madrid and I can fly over easily. With the skills of Long Xing Tian Xia, A Feng, and Ba Jiu Gao Ge, there should be no danger. The thieves and assassins are agile, and the shooter is not too bad. The most troublesome is the magician with weak defense and low agility. The frequency of the snowman's attack is quite high, and it may be launched once every few steps. The distance between the icicles is relatively close, and there is no way to deploy a formation to protect the magician in the middle. With their agility, once they encounter the snowman's attack, it is difficult to guarantee that they can successfully dodge. If they are slapped a few more times, their lives will be in danger.
There was not enough space between the icicles for the nineteen of us to move together, so we had to move in batches. The key was to ensure that all the magicians could pass safely. The attack of the snowman was too sudden and fast, and the distance was too close. Melee professional players could protect themselves, but if they had to distract themselves to take care of others, they would not have time to react, so they could only rely on some passive defense skills. Haishang Mingyue cast the "Ice Sealed Barrier" to protect the companions around him. In addition to weakening certain physical damage, it can also effectively reduce ice attribute damage and freezing effects. Olympia activated the "Eye of Glory". As long as the snowman left the icicle, it would be exposed to the "Blind Eyes" and blinded, thus affecting its attack. If we gain a little more time, the companions under attack will have more opportunities to dodge, and we can also treat the companions who were accidentally injured. The two of them joined forces to take on the responsibility of protecting the other magicians through the icicles. As for me, I relied on the protection of the magic of "Sacrifice" and "Unparalleled Guardian" to follow them in the sky in the form of a bat in case of critical situations. They need to rush down and use their own bodies to protect their severely injured companions. The life of each member determines the success or failure of the mission, and there is absolutely no room for loss. They must work together to support and protect each other and overcome difficulties together.
Although there is an eight-hour time limit. However, as the saying goes, haste makes waste. Considering the protective effects of the "Ice Barrier" and the "Eye of Glory", in order to ensure the safety of the members during the crossing, Olympia and Haishang Mingyue will divide into two groups to protect the five magicians Baiyunjian, Yinzhuangsuku, Xiquanyikong, Lansluo and Jinlui through the icicles. The first two are Jinlui and Lansluo, who will first accumulate some experience in cooperation, and then protect the remaining three to cross the ice column in the second batch, striving for safety. As for the other members, there is no need to worry too much. Two or three people form a group to take care of each other and remind each other. Collaborate and move forward, as long as you are careful. If there is no negligence, there should not be too much danger.
They were repeatedly attacked by big snowmen along the way, sometimes even four of them rushed out at the same time, but their speed and especially their accuracy were affected by the "Bridging Eyes". In addition, the protective effect of the "Ice Barrier" and Olympia's magic to restore the health of the injured in time, the damage they suffered was not enough to endanger their lives. They passed through the group of icicles without any danger.
After a short rest, Olympia and Haishang Mingyue had to go back to protect Bai Yunjian and the other two as they passed through the icicles. There were no other companions to protect, and it was naturally easier for them to travel with just the two of them. Although there was one more person in the team this time, it was a little more difficult to protect them, but the silver-clad snow could also restore the health of the injured companions, making them less likely to die. After a lot of twists and turns, they were escorted to the other side again. The other members had already arrived successfully, and they finally passed the first level of the icicle-hidden snowman safely.
There is still a wide passage ahead. Time is limited, and we dare not stay for too long. We continue to move forward. After walking more than a thousand meters, what appears in front of us is a flat open area extending into the distance. Unlike the solid ice ground in the previous level, there is a thick layer of snow here. The length cannot be seen for the time being. It is about 200 to 300 meters wide. The cave walls on both sides are full of caves. There is one cave every 100 meters in the row next to the ground. The cave entrance is relatively large. The cave entrance on the top is only one-third of the one in the lower row. It is much denser, almost one next to the other, and the distribution is disorderly and there is no pattern to speak of. Still not daring to take risks easily, I first sent a summoned green bone dragon to test it. As soon as it flew into this open area, I heard countless "howling" roars. White shadows swayed in the caves on the cave walls on both sides, and many snow monsters appeared. There was a snow monster in each of the small caves above. It stood at the entrance of the cave and was ready to throw snowballs. As soon as the green-bone dragon entered its attack range, it immediately threw snowballs. The snow monsters in the two rows of caves next to the ground rushed out directly, actively chasing the green-bone dragon and throwing snowballs. As they left, the second snow monster rushed out of the cave, followed by the third and then the fourth... There was an endless supply of snowballs. For a while, snowballs flew across the open ground. From top to bottom, every space was threatened by snowballs. The green-bone dragon exploring the way was also hit several times. Fortunately, the attacks in the air were not as dense as those on the ground, and the flying speed was relatively fast. As long as it flew forward along the central axis, it was far away from the caves on both sides. The snowballs were already close to the farthest range when thrown here, and the strength and accuracy were reduced. Finally, it was successfully flown to the other side. As the green-bone dragon left, the snow monsters stopped their impulses, looked around and wandered for a while, and then returned to the cave one after another, returning to the initial calm. This should be the second level, which is about three or four kilometers long. You will be threatened by snowballs at all times, especially for players walking. Snow monsters will constantly rush out of the caves on both sides of the ground to attack, which is more dangerous.
We will be attacked by snowballs at any point. There is no safe area to hide. To reach the other end and continue to move forward, we can only rely on our strength to break through. These snow monsters will continue to pour out, and they should be endless. To successfully pass through, we must first ensure that we move quickly and move quickly without delaying. The longer we stay, the more snow monsters will pour out in front of us, and the more difficult it will be to break through. Once we are blocked by the 9th level snow monsters, it is almost impossible for us to break through safely within a limited time without losing anyone.
After an urgent discussion, I, who had more than a dozen bone dragons of various types and the strongest combat power, was given a difficult task - to reach the exit at the other end as soon as possible. Harass and contain the snow monsters pouring out of the caves on both sides, and prevent them from gathering in groups and blocking our way out. Long Xingtianxia, Afeng, and Bajiugaoge marched along the middle road to avoid being attacked too much and affecting the speed of advancement. Of course, they also needed to launch assaults to the left and right sides or the front according to the specific situation. Contain the actions of the snow monsters and protect the safety of the magicians who moved relatively slowly. As a mobile force, the Pterosaur Knights Real Madrid provided timely support according to the actual situation in each place.
As long as one alien enters this area, all the snow monsters will attack, so we must act at the same time. I cast the magic of "Sacrifice" and "Unparalleled Protection" on myself, and heard the slogan of the start. I rode Taotao and rushed out with my subordinates who all had the ability to fly, rushing to the other side at the fastest speed. With the "howling" cry of the snow monster, many snowballs were thrown at me, but relying on the relatively large body of my subordinate bone dragon, I didn't need to dodge, and just forced my way through, successfully flying over the distance of three or four kilometers and reaching the other side.
Although I was not given a specific distance indicator to protect, in order for my companions to pass this test more smoothly, the more they are restrained, the better. Anyway, these snow monsters will attack any alien species they see, and they will not stop until they are dead. It is not easy to kill them, but there are ways to restrain them. Let the bone dragon fly close to the ground and try to harass the snow monsters moving on the snow, inducing them to turn around and chase. Shaman and Guben rely on their agility and stand on each side, making it easier to harass. One stabbed and shot, then turned around and fled. One spit out a blood mist, turned around and flew away, and the clumsy snow monsters could not keep up with their rhythm. They were teased and turned around, and they chased after us roaring, unable to effectively block our way.
At the same time, I stood in the safe zone, activating the "Touch of Death" to replenish my mental strength, and continued to summon undead, all of which were intermediate-level level eight jellyfish and crouching night shadows. I used their ability to deploy a large number of mines and stealth attacks to further strengthen the restraining effect on the snow monsters along the way, and tried my best to ensure that the middle road was unobstructed so that my teammates could pass smoothly as soon as possible.
I completed the assigned task successfully, or even exceeded expectations. Long Xing Tian Xia and his teammates did not make any mistakes and cooperated well with each other. Not only were they safe themselves, but they also successfully covered other teammates. With my support, they finally broke through the snow monster's interception and passed the second level.
After passing two levels, I still couldn't relax. Not long after, the third level appeared in front of me. It was a vast cave. The wind was howling, sweeping up the snow on the ground and blowing it into the sky, forming a heavy snowfall. There was also a little mist, and the visibility was relatively low, so I couldn't see too far. However, I didn't need to send people to explore this level. I already knew what kind of test I would encounter. With bursts of "crackling" explosions, sharp ice cones about a foot long fell from the sky. It might be just one, or there might be more than ten or twenty of them. It seemed that we had to pass through this ice cone array safely.
We sent our undead minions to investigate. We found that the length of this ice cone array was about 5,000 meters. The ice cones were broken and fell from the cave ceiling, which was 200 to 300 meters high. The entire cave ceiling was covered with ice cones, which broke and grew again, stretching endlessly, but there was no pattern at all. It might take a few seconds or a minute, and we couldn't judge. The falling speed of the ice cones was not very fast, but the wind and snow would affect our actions. The visibility was relatively low, and it was difficult to find the falling ice cones too early. When we could see them, they were about to fall on our heads. If we were not very agile, it would be too late to dodge.
Ice cones are inanimate objects, and Olympia's "Eye of Glory" has no effect on them. If we can't think of any way to protect ourselves from the wind and the piercing thorns of the ice cones, and just force our way in, I'm not sure anyone will succeed, but the chances of everyone passing are certainly not optimistic, and the risk is too great. We have come this far, and we may be only one step away from completing the mission, and we are even less willing to take risks and face the consequences of failure.
Suppress the wind so that our actions will not be affected too much, dispel the mist, see farther, find the falling ice cones as early as possible, and dodge them in time. If we can do this, our chances of getting through the ice cone array should increase a lot. None of the four artifacts have such ability, and the magic skills of each profession are not so powerful. The only one we can count on is Xiaobai, summon Feiying and several other ghost royals, as well as a large number of ghost kings and devouring ghosts, and use the ability of "gathering dark winds". Use "wind splitting the sky" to fight against this natural wind, facilitate our actions, and at the same time blow away the diffuse mist, improve visibility, and make it easier to avoid falling ice cones.
Long Xing Tianxia and Real Madrid had no better ideas. After a brief discussion, they all agreed to my plan. Although time was precious, in order to increase the power of "Wind Splitting the Sky", we had to summon as many Devouring Ghosts as possible to provide power for Xiao Bai, so we had to stay in the passage for a while. Let me cast "Summon the Dead" several times to gather an army of Devouring Ghosts.
I have performed a similar action once before. It is easier to arrange, but the ice cones can also cause damage to the Devouring Ghost. Place them in the passage first, and wait for the action to come, then rush in, rush into the ice cone array as soon as possible, and we must also seize the time to use the protection of "Wind Splitting the Sky" to pass quickly, and reach the other end before their connection is disintegrated by the falling ice cones. Pass the test of this third level.
Every time I cast "Summon the Dead", I can summon more than 10,000 Devouring Ghosts. With Olympia and Silver Suit restoring my health, I can summon continuously. After more than an hour of delay, I summoned Feiying and the other four ghost royals, more than 200 ghost kings, and more than 100,000 Devouring Ghosts, one next to the other, almost filling the passage. It should be enough to support us through this ice cone array. We don't know what test will come next, so we dare not delay any longer. First, command the Devouring Ghosts to rush in, and Xiaobai casts the ability of "Gathering Yin Wind" to condense their power and launch "Wind Cracks the Sky". The wind and snow blowing towards us were immediately weakened, and the light mist in the wind array was also blown away, so we can see the falling ice cones earlier and dodge in time.
There were constantly devouring ghosts being killed by ice cones, but Xiaobai had the ability of "teleportation" and "void form" as protection, so the ice cones were not too threatening to it. I could also use "Soul of the Dead" to heal its injuries, and it didn't matter if it took a few hits at the critical moment. I kept using "Wind Splitting the Sky" to cover our actions.
As long as we deal with it properly, the originally troublesome things will be much easier. With Xiaobai's protection in the air, we can identify the falling direction of the ice cones, and our actions are basically not hindered by the wind and snow. With our strength and experience, it is not that difficult to pass through this ice cone array. Be careful of Li Yi's progress, support and cover each other, and after a lot of trouble, we finally succeeded in breaking through this ice cone array, and all of us arrived at the other end safely.
The joy of successfully passing the level soon disappeared without a trace. The task has not been completed yet and we still need to work hard. Now is not the time to celebrate. There is still a passage ahead. After a short rest, we continue to move forward to accept the unknown test of the next level. We keep going through one level after another, and we don’t know when it will end and let us get the reward we have been looking forward to.
Finally passed the level! When we carefully broke into a hall again, the system prompted us to congratulate us on successfully passing the test of "God's Relics" and obtaining the "God's Relics" reward. We passed three levels in a row, and the mission time limit was eight hours, but it only took us more than five hours. We originally thought that there should be a fourth level test based on the time, but we didn't expect to pass it like this. We were really overjoyed. Come to think of it, we have four artifacts and happen to be able to use the appropriate method to pass the level, so the time spent is naturally less. If it were other teams, without Olympia's "Eye of Glory" and my strength, it would definitely be much more difficult to pass these three levels than us.
In front of us is an altar. According to the system prompt, the nineteen members need to worship in turn, and then the equipment or props awarded to us will automatically appear on the altar. This is different from the lottery when I participated in the "World Heroes Conference" and won the top ten in the individual competition. There may be any level of equipment and props, and you may not be able to draw a magic weapon in a hundred chances. But in these nineteen worship opportunities, a magic weapon will definitely appear. Who will get it? The order of worship is probably quite important. The first person to worship has a one in nineteen chance. I'm afraid no one will be sure that they have such good luck. The probability of the last few getting the magic weapon should not be too high. In theory, the middle few have the highest probability. There has to be an order for who goes first and who goes last. Everyone should come forward to worship in turn and cannot do it at the same time. And the order of arrangement must of course be fair. Especially since the 19 members who work together to complete the task basically belong to the two opposing camps of light and darkness. They are unwilling to be taken advantage of by the other side in the distribution of interests. Of course, no one wants to be the first to worship, and they will be even more unwilling to be the last ones to worship and watch the artifact fall into the hands of others.
After some discussion, they decided to draw lots to arrange the order of worship. The number from one to nineteen, the one who drew one would be the first to worship, and the one who drew nineteen would naturally be the last. Whether to be ranked first or last depends entirely on one's luck and has nothing to do with others.
Everyone drew a number. Xiluanyikong, who belonged to the Galaxy Mercenary Group, drew number 1, Real Madrid drew number 4, Longxing Tianxia drew number 5, and Afeng drew number 7, which should be an ideal position. Olympia drew number 11, and the worst luck was Baiyunjian, who drew number 19. The last one to come forward to worship, the chance of him getting the artifact was probably about the same as winning the lottery. After seeing his number, he was also annoyed, pointing to the sky and stamping the ground, and even couldn't help slapping his left hand that he used to draw the number. Of course, I am not much better than him. I drew number 16, and the chance of getting the artifact is also quite slim.
Xi Juan stood at the worship position designated by the system, and after he bowed three times to the altar, a white light flashed, and an equipment appeared out of thin air on the originally empty altar. At that moment, almost all of us held our breath involuntarily, and stared at the altar intently. The altar was emitting the three primary colors of red, yellow and blue. Immediately, many of us breathed a sigh of relief, while the players who were on good terms with him sighed with regret.
Next, the same scene continued to play out. Half of the players breathed a sigh of relief, while the other half felt regretful. It was the turn of the fourth player, Real Ma, to go forward and pay homage, but he only received a cross-shaped sacred necklace, which seemed to be an equipment with an additional prayer success rate attribute. The fifth player, Long Xing Tian Xia, drew a sacred helmet, but he also failed to become one of the lucky ones selected from the nineteen.
The artifact never appeared, and finally it was the turn of Afeng, who was ranked seventh, to come forward to pay homage. I was also secretly praying for him, hoping that he could obtain the artifact. Only with more powerful strength could he inflict a greater blow to Hua Mantian.
After three bows, a white light flashed, and another piece of equipment appeared on the altar. I couldn't tell what it was, so I first checked the light it emitted. It was not the monotonous red, yellow, and blue. Instead, it was a colorful divine light. Yes, it was definitely the colorful divine light. I couldn't help but cheering. It was great. Afeng finally had a magic weapon.
