The Age of Machines

Chapter 495 Snowman
Judging from the news on the team channel, several people seem to have found a treasure chest underwater.And the treasure chest was of sub-legendary level, and the boss Wei Shengmo said that the chest was not ordinary, so everyone couldn't help guessing whether it was a special chest.It is the key that needs to be dropped from a specific monster to open it.If the treasure chest does not require a special key, thieves can use the lockpicking skill to open it.

But judging from what Wei Shengmo said just now, the box cannot be opened with the lockpicking skill, and there are no monsters now, so other methods should be needed to open it.

Hong Jiao, Wang wearing long johns and others squatted by the pool and looked down. From the perspective above them, they could no longer see the Beixi Five.

All I could see was the crystal buds that hadn't changed in appearance swaying in the water.Presumably, this situation is also an illusion created by something in the depths of the pool.

"Wow~ I really want to go down and take a look." Hongjiao sighed, they moved too fast in the Lost Hall before, and a few people didn't get the water drops, and now they can only wait for the president and the others to give news.

While a group of people were waiting, Xia Beixi and the others had been studying the treasure chest.

Wei Shengmo stared at the keyhole for a few seconds, and then took out special props under the watchful eyes of several people.It was a liquid in a red bottle. The liquid shone brightly when the micro-generated ink was taken out, and it disappeared in an instant.

Holding the liquid, Weisheng Mo unscrewed it, tilted the bottle to the keyhole, the liquid flowed out slowly, and dropped a drop into the keyhole.

It was just a drop, and the few people only heard a "click", and the box seemed to be opened.

Eternal Buluo is very surprised. What is this thing? It opens the box with one drop... If the player has it, even if he doesn't know the lockpicking skill, what box can't be opened in the wild?
Some words were too late to ask, Weishengmo had already opened the box...

At the same time, a whirlwind suddenly rolled up around the ice block, and the water formed a tornado that enveloped the five people.The people above only heard the sound of "rumbling" coming from the pool, and then a momentum drove the water flow, several water jets rose into the sky, figures flew out, and the water splashed randomly, scattered all around.

"Damn, what's the matter?"

Isn't the figure rolling to the ground the Beixi Five who went down?

Everyone hurriedly helped them up. At this time, there was another sound of "Ka Ka Ka" from all around. Everyone couldn't help but stop and looked around. The place where the water splashed was covered with ice, and the ice and snow were still spreading. .

The water flowing down from the clouds was gradually frozen, and the Hongqiao was also covered by a piece of ice. Everything in front of us was moving towards a world of ice and snow.

Ten seconds later, the world was clean, but it also became pale and colorless.

"what happened?"

They felt the chill, but the wind was piercing, the sun was dark, and even the golden staircase that came was frozen.

"Where is the opening method wrong?"

They have been here for a few minutes, but it turned out to be nothing to blame, there is no boss, just a pool.Finally, I was able to go down to the pool to find out, but I didn't know what was under the pool.

"We moved the treasure chest."

Eve choked, and complained: "I'm sorry, opening a treasure chest will trigger the mechanism, and this game is not allowed to be played."

"No, it doesn't have to be an agency."

If it's an agency, it's been a minute, and it's impossible for them to stand here and talk properly now.The desert that was triggered before almost took them all back in just five seconds.

Wei Shengmo walked to the side of the pool, looked at the water surface that was not affected by the cold ice and had been flowing, and said lightly: "It's open."

Beixi slowly stepped forward and looked down.

Crystal buds are blooming, one after another.

This is different from before.

"What's in that treasure chest?" Beixi was about to probe at that time, but was swept out by the current in the next second.

When the zebra brought out the crystal bud directly before, the mechanism was triggered, but this time it was different from before.They don't know if the treasure chest is a mechanism, but the contents inside should be very important, otherwise it is impossible for the crystal buds to bloom suddenly.

"a flower."

Beixi was stunned by this answer.

what kind of flower
Before I could say this, Wei Shengmo continued: "Burning flowers. However, the moment I opened the box, the flames were extinguished by the cold water rushing in."

So, the ice froze the place.

Bei Xi stared at the pool in deep thought, Wei Shengmo glanced at her, and then walked to the periphery of the table.There are golden columns all around, and now they are also frozen by ice and snow.

Standing on the edge, with the vast sea of ​​clouds in front of him, there seems to be nothing unusual.Wei Shengmo looked around to see if they had missed something.

After a few minutes in the map, there are no mobs or bosses, which means there is a mechanism.As for the organs, there are those that can make the boss come out, and there are also deadly ones.This is the so-called right and wrong way to open...

What is the mechanism that makes the boss come out?
"I'm going to go down and have a look."

Illusions are illusions, not reality.

What they see above may be unreal.After saying this, Beixi jumped directly into the pool, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

"Uh... this speed."

A few people in the Lost Hall wanted to say follow her, but they jumped in as soon as they finished speaking.

After entering the water again, Beixi looked cautious.

Soon, they reached the depths of the water again, and the others followed closely behind.

The crystal flowers in front of them were indeed in full bloom, just like what they saw above.Beixi looked around the ice cubes and flowers, and then swam to the treasure chest. The flowers inside were frozen into ice in the shape of flames.

Reach out and take out the flowers.

Ding, you get [Fire and Cold Flower] X1.

[Flower of Fire and Cold]: Fire is born in ice, which is its most complete form.The heart of the flower is fire, the petals are ice, and the ice encloses the fire, which has infinite power and can annihilate all evils.

What is the use of this flower?
Holding the fiery flower, Beixi swam back to the ice stone.The stone is very big. She felt that there was something in the stone before, but with the strength of the player, such a thing cannot be broken easily.

Either with the help of props, or the task guide directly to the method.

But they don't have both, so they can only think on their own.

Wei Shengmo stopped beside Beixi, looked at the flower in her hand, and then at the fully bloomed crystal flower on the ice block in front of her.

Wei Shengmo couldn't help but took a step forward, propped himself on the ice stone, and looked at the crystal flower carefully.

Beixi saw him like this, what did he find?
People followed suit.

The two stared at the crystal for a while, and suddenly they both smiled inexplicably.Seeing the two of them like this, civet cat couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Afterwards, I saw Beixi rubbing the root of the flower in his hand, which was as thin as a needle of ice.

It should have been weird.

Why is the root of a flower so thin.Beixi smiled, and under the gaze of the people around him, he climbed up the ice stone, holding the flower of fire and cold in one hand, and then condescendingly examined the crystal.

The appearance of this flower is like a sun flower, but the angle of the petals is not so open, and it is a bit clustered.

There is a small hole in the stamen in the middle, which is impossible to detect if you don't pay attention.If they didn't feel that there was something flowing in the root of the crystal flower, the two of them would not have seen that its root was hollow.

After confirming that there is a hole in the stamen, Beixi believes even more that the fiery flower is going to be inserted into the crystal.Because it is impossible to have a box at the bottom of the water for no reason, and the things opened in the box are useless to the player, neither equipment nor skill books.

After much deliberation, it is the key thing to summon the boss.

It’s just that Beixi can’t figure it out, and there is no blame on the above. If the player does not have the [Erosion Liquid] held by Weishengmo, how to open the box?
Maybe somewhere above, there is a mechanism to get the key or summon a specific monster.It's just that they have a faster way.

After finding the small hole, Beixi inserted the fiery flower into the crystal flower little by little.When the three people who were making soy sauce saw this situation, their expressions were very exciting.

When the flower of fire and cold is completely integrated with the crystal, I thought the shape would be very weird, but I didn't think that the two seemed to be integrated, which was surprisingly suitable.

The flame burned again in the ice, and several people watched the bright red color pass through the flower to the root, and then covered the crystal, and then flowed into the ice boulder, spreading continuously.

"Crack."

Bei Xi felt that the ice cubes under him were about to shatter.

Looking down, the light flashed by, and the appearance of the objects in the ice was also clearly visible.

In the next second, the ice burst.

The water column rose again, and Beixi and the others were sent out again.Immediately afterwards, another ball of light drilled out of the pool. Everyone only watched the water in the pool surging. As the ball of light rose into the air, it continued to gather into the shape of a throne, and then gradually condensed into ice, forming a veritable suspension. Seat in mid-air.

The huge ball of light landed on the throne, and then shattered with a "chi", and when I looked again, the silver-haired woman sat on it enchantingly, showing a charming smile, looking down at the crowd, and said softly but with majesty: " I have seen the rise and fall of countless empires, and the birth and extinction of countless species. For thousands of years, the stupidity of the mortal race has not changed. Your appearance is more proof of this."

She stretched out her right hand to the people below, "Come on, let me see your abilities... This is the price for waking up the king's beauty sleep."

Crowd:  …

As soon as the woman finished speaking, countless "bang bang bang" sounds sounded, and in the blink of an eye, countless ice cones appeared on the entire platform.In the group of towering ice cones, everyone dispersed into several teams for a while, feeling a little nervous.

Afterwards, mobs descended from the sky and landed on the ice cone, which turned out to be many snow monsters.The round butt fell on the sharp cone without feeling pain.

"What a cute snowman~ oh! Damn it!" Just as Hong Jiao finished speaking, the snowman above his head threw a snowball at him unexpectedly, and it fell straight on his face, excruciating pain.

The red dragon slapped the shattered ice off his face, and the system prompted.

Ding, you are slowed down for 10 seconds.

Everyone was also attacked by these snowmen one after another. This monster's attack would not only slow down, but also deal very high damage.Under the deceleration, their walking became more and more difficult, and the snowman's hit rate was also greatly improved, and because they were all above, they had a geographical advantage, and everyone could only be in a passive position.

Everyone is thinking that if you hit that thing down, the hits should be reduced in the same position.I don't want to, when a few groups attacked, those snowmen dropped blood, but their fat bodies dangled a few times on the ice pick, and then stood firmly on the ice pick.

"Can't beat it?"

Ukiyo-e didn't believe in evil, thinking it was because the skills were not strong enough.Combining several points of output and then aiming at dense points to play skills, I don't want the result to be exactly the same.

"Tumbler?" Xiaoshang raised his eyebrows to avoid the opponent's snowball attack. Thinking about it, this snowman is probably the same as a tumbler.And with the skills down, the snowman's attack range seems to be far away, and he used to attack with one hand, but now he is throwing snowballs with both hands.

In an instant, the number of snowballs increased.

"If this continues, we will be slowly worn to death." The deceleration is a very annoying state, and it is constantly being decelerated. Monsters are not players. They have no MP. If they are not killed, their attacks will not stop.

"It must be a second." After Beixi finished speaking, he shouted to the fan. "fan."

The fan who was not far away raised her hand and gave her a disperse. After Beixi recovered his speed, he jumped in the air, and the two guns began to gather light.

"Output in the direction of my one o'clock."

It was a relatively dense area. Before, everyone scattered their output, and the damage was not concentrated, so there was no way to kill too many snowmen.

Beixi stagnated in the air for a few seconds, and the red beam broke away from the barrel and turned into a meteor, drawing two obvious tracks in the air.

However, when it landed on the ground, it was the power of a meteorite.The heat wave of the explosion swept past, and at the same time, everyone's skills were smashed down one after another.

After a wave of skills, finally an area is clear.

"Come again." As long as the boss doesn't attack, these low-level mobs will be wiped out sooner or later.It's not like everyone is falling into the hands of mobs.

Soon, under Bei Xi's command, the snowman monsters were cleaned up one by one.After the fight against monsters was over, none of the 45 people was at full health.

The priest saw that the battle was over, so he hurriedly healed the blood of those around him one by one.

At this time, the woman above who had been watching the show spoke again.

"Oh~ I underestimated you."

With that said, his eyes fell on Beixi. "Familiar taste..." After saying that, he opened his palm towards Beixi, and a force restrained Beixi.

"Let me see what it is~" She smiled charmingly, and grabbed it suddenly.

Beixi couldn't move. At this moment, the three keys in the package popped out and floated in the air, each flashing with different lights.

Everyone was shocked, what happened?
Beixi said lightly: "It's okay, I still have the right to control the key." In other words, this is the required step for the boss to start fighting with them.

Seeing her say that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the key, the woman pursed her lips, her expression gradually turning cold.

"What a disappointment... stupid servants."

She stood up slowly, the long skirt on her body exuded a faint silver light, and the end of her long hair was covered with ice.

"Humans, this Cerro Hall is your final burial place."

Combat is imminent.
