The Age of Machines

Chapter 825

"It's more difficult to deal with elite monsters."

The civet cat said it lightly, but other people can imagine that in the dark waters at that time, they could not see anything and were surrounded by rotting corpses, plus an elite, compared to others, the civet cat encountered more danger.The two were the civet cats they met on the way upstream. At that time, she had just come out of the encirclement and was struggling to swim upstream with less than 5.00% of her HP.

Fortunately, I met two people.

In the case of residual blood, the player's body is extremely weak.In the game, as long as the player's blood volume is lower than 5.00%, generally speaking, he can no longer act, and all attributes will be reduced by 5.00%.But that doesn't happen in competitive games.

In the game, there is an extremely obvious difference between field battles and competitive battles.

If it weren't for the two of them, the civet cat would indeed be in danger.

Looking at Beixi and the others, the civet cat smiled: "Fortunately, you caught up."

Ukiyo-e hugged her hands, "It's also thanks to you." Originally, I wanted to say that I should tell them first about the situation at that time, no matter what the situation was, there was a way to help her.But after thinking about it, they themselves also encountered a situation where a bunch of rotting corpses were entangled. Not to mention typing and sending messages, it was already difficult to get weapons.

Moreover, water is not the domain for them to play human players on land, and their actions are slow after all.He simply went ashore safely, so he didn't say more about some things.

Lollipop healed the civet cat and said, "Of course, the civet cat is of course powerful, so there's no need to talk about it?"

One day is one day and he laughed: "We are the great god of the legend group."

"Civet cats say the third and no one dares to say the second."

"What about Ning Que?" Ukiyoe raised an eyebrow.

Lollipop snorted coldly: "It's fine not to be at the bottom."

One day at a time, he thought of the day when he was beaten by Ning Que, and touched his nose. "I still don't talk anymore, why do you make us who have not made the top ten in the competition?"

Rashomon squinted at the side and smiled: "Where is Starlight? Speaking of which, after the last internal competition within the Legendary group, there was no competition again, right?"

Naturally, Rashomon was the first one.

Weishengmo and Beixi didn't participate anymore, they couldn't win anyway.After that time, the people in the legend group didn't PK each other very much, and in addition, I am Xingguang entered later, and then Jiujiu's group.

"I think the civet cat's strength must be among the top three." Lollipop said.

"Indeed." Ukiyo-e still agrees with this point.

The civet cat was embarrassed by what they said, and joked: "You praise me like that, but I wouldn't treat you to dinner."

Lollipop: "Get out."

"I'm Xingguang and I'm pretty good. Why haven't I heard of this person's name before?"

"It's normal. The game of Prosperous Age is somewhat different from other games. The early stage is more difficult, and the resources are scarce. Players have to rely on their skills to develop. At that time, it took a few months for Holy Heaven to establish a guild. .And now it is very easy for players to upgrade, and the level is no longer a problem.”

Later players want to upgrade quickly, as long as there are connections, it is not difficult at all.And if you want to make a name for yourself in today's game where masters are everywhere, skill is still the most important thing.

If you want to obtain a legendary outfit, you naturally have to have the ability to explode, right?

I am a person like Xingguang, even if I enter the game later, there is no possibility that he will be buried.Technology doesn't lie.Since he has the ability to fight bosses, he can naturally unleash equipment of corresponding value.The Rise of the Machine Age is another example.

"Either keep a low profile, or just enter this game." Lollipop laughed.

In fair competition, level is actually one of the least important factors that distinguish players from high to low.However, Prosperity is not a complete competitive game, and some factors still have to be taken out to measure the level of players.

Beixi didn't have much reaction to their conversation.She knows better than them that I was the time when Starlight appeared in the game, and some things after that.This person is a very powerful person, and Beixi lost to him in his last life.

As for this life, she herself doesn't know if she can defeat him, I am Starlight.And Weishengmo...Bei Xi couldn't help but look at the man standing quietly beside him, did Weishengmo and Starlight ever meet?
She still doesn't know if the two have fought against each other.This time I joined the legend team as Xingguang and beat everyone, except Weishengmo and Beixi.Some things, they still know each other very well.

While speaking, the sound of water came from the direction of Heihe.

Several people stopped talking and looked towards the river.With the help of the not-so-bright blue light above their heads, they saw densely packed black spots swaying on the pitch-black river surface.

"These carrion corpses are really lingering!" Lollipop frowned, his tone aggravated.

However, unexpectedly, they just stayed quietly on the river surface for two seconds before submerging into the river one after another.The black shadows disappeared one by one, and the river surface gradually returned to calm.

The boat was wrecked.

Before going to the palace above, Lollipop was thinking about how they would go back later.But when he thought of Beixi's mechanical beast, Lollipop shrugged, there is still a way, isn't it, although it will be a little troublesome.

"Tangtang, let's go."

The voice of day is day pulled her back from her thoughts.

Lollipop came back to his senses, and followed the army with the civet cat on his arm.There is a winding road close to the stone wall on the side of the stone mountain, which presumably also leads to the palace.

Looking up, you can see the huge palace falling in the blue light, but walking, this long road seems to be endless.After walking a few steps, they encountered wild monsters spawned from the magic circle.

A group of dead souls.

Ding, you were attacked by [ ], and your soul was corrupted, and you fell into a state of confusion for four seconds.

It took one day to receive the system prompt, and my mind began to be in chaos, but in just a second, my heavy body and head became lighter in an instant.Knowing that it was the lollipop that dispelled it, he raised the shield to a suitable position, rushed over, and pulled a few monsters.

Ridiculous, seductive, demoralizing and roaring.

He was in the middle, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, while the other wild monsters circled around him.In fact, they don't want to either.The warrior's lock-through is a skill that can force nearby monsters within the attack range to gather around him, and in order to prevent them from escaping, chains will appear under his feet to bind them around the warrior, which is beneficial for teammates to output.

The roar of a soldier is generally external and internal.External roars are mostly negative states, weakening the fighting spirit of hostile targets, and can also be used in team battles to save people, first reducing the monster's hatred value and then better taunting.The internal roar is gain, self gain or team gain.The effect of the buff is generally offensive or defensive, and these abilities are not particularly brilliant compared to a good team support priest, but they can be extremely useful at times.

Ukiyo-e and the others took one move, basically in seconds.

Stop and go all the way, it took 3 minutes to get to the gate of the palace.But they encountered "difficulties" again.

"The door can't be opened." I pushed the door day after day, but there was no response.

He can't push the door even a strong fighter, and others don't have to try.Although Beixi's mechanical gloves have increased strength, they are actually only an increase in attack, not a substantial increase in arm strength.

There is a difference.

The gate of the palace is covered with withered flower branches, the stone pillars on both sides are entangled with basilisks, and there is also a strange snake hovering in the center of the gate.One body with three heads, the snake tail is connected to the keyhole, and the three heads face different directions of the keyhole.Apart from the fact that the lock is impenetrable, the distorted text and patterns on the gate are also puzzling.

"Trick it up." Said the civet cat.

"Look around to see if there is a switch."

A group of people dispersed and searched for each side of the gate.The palace stands in the center, with bluestones piled up on both sides, and then to the edge, there are various stones connected together, forming an uneven fortress.

Both sides of the palace are still walkable.But what is behind this huge palace, no one knows.Two teams were divided, one went to the right and the other to the left.

"I don't think I'll get anything." Lollipop didn't know that he would have such an idea, but felt that the lock was too weird.Because the keyhole is too big, as big as a baby's future fist.If there is a key, it is estimated that the volume must not be small.

The words of the agency are currently invisible.

Wei Shengmo hasn't opened his mouth yet, and he probably doesn't know whether it is a kind of mechanical lock or not.

That's what relics are.

No one can fully understand what's in it [-]%, whether it's a mechanism or a mission.Taking risks without knowing anything feels different for every player.

Some find it novel, while others find it too difficult and meaningless.

But even though it doesn't make sense, you will subconsciously look for it.Perhaps curiosity will not stop people from exploring.

After some searching, no one has found any information.They also met at the back of the palace, looked at both sides, and spread their hands helplessly.

After returning to the gate for 1 minute, I was at a loss.

All the monsters they met on the road to this palace came out to make soy sauce, right?
It is extremely stingy not to give any clues.Of course, it was the planning team who were scolding. Speaking of which, this kind of difficulty can already be said to be the highest level.

In the case of the player's complete ignorance, he does not give a clue that connects the beginning and the end, and scatter the entire chain in every corner.This is the highest level of ruins that allows players to fend for themselves.

Even ordinary difficult relics have clues in series.They were able to get to this point really thanks to being able to persevere.

"Now we have two options," Ukiyo-e said.

One day at a time, he also interjected: "And the other method may not work."

One, find clues to open the door.Second, smash the door directly.

The second method is a bit hanging.Some doors are directly immune to player skills, and cannot be broken or destroyed.

"The word earthworm on this should be a clue." The civet cat said.

But who understands?
After a few seconds of silence, Beixi stepped forward and pointed to the pattern on the door on the right. "Is this a snake?"

The patterns used by the ancient races always require them to guess.A few people took a closer look, and they were too similar to those earthworm characters. If it weren't for the more obvious head, it would be hard to distinguish.

So what if it's a snake?
"See if there are any birds."

This is an unknown area on Juling Island, and it is also the [Restricted Area] mentioned by the bird monster before.And this restricted area must be related to Goulds and Meredith.

To say how to open the door.

In fact, it is impossible for the system to let them come here without any reason, nor can it let them come here without any clues.If you think about it carefully, you still need to take Goultz into account.

Meredith...

"There are no patterns of birds."

Rashomon searched very carefully.Looking at it seriously now, the text is still very easy to distinguish from some pictograms.

"Only snakes, only snakes." The civet cat didn't find any bird patterns either.

Wei Shengmo observed carefully in front of the lock for a while, and he looked at Beixi. "This is not a mechanism lock, nor is it an ordinary lock."

Bei Xi was taken aback, "Magic lock?"

A magic lock requires a spell or the power to activate the lock.

"There is still something in this keyhole." Wei Shengmo said, "It's the magic runes, and how to activate these magic runes requires strength."

Wei Shengmo's eyes fell on the lollipop.

Feeling the gazes of other people one after another, Lollipop looked bewildered. "What?"

"If there are no accidents, this is where the Meredith is. In fact, it is easy to understand that this character is mentioned or related in all the contacts."

Beixi also said: "Either it is the final boss, or it is the key figure in the whole mission."

"Tangtang your book." The civet cat said.

Lollipop suddenly realized, quickly took out the book, and trotted to the gate.

It's all because the system didn't prompt, she almost forgot the [Book of Punishment] that she still had with her.

"How to do it?" Lollipop thought, do I need to open it? But when I opened the book, I don't know if there will be monsters running out.

"Come closer and try."

Lollipop obeyed Bei Xi's words, and put the book facing the keyhole, less than two centimeters away.There was no response, and the civet cat said again: "Paste it directly and have a look."

Lollipop followed suit, still no response.

She couldn't help suggesting. "Can I just open it and have a look?"

At this time, Rashomon said: "No need, Tangtang, you can change the noodles."

Lollipop looked at the book and couldn't turn around. "Noodles?" Turn the book over and look at Rashomon. "so?"

The back of the book is not smooth, but there are the same earthworm characters as the gate, but the number is not many, and the few scattered strokes are the most important [key].

Rashomon first discovered this when Lollipop was about to use the front to open the lock.

If they had paid attention to these details from the beginning, presumably the previous search would not have existed.

In the end, the most critical key is in their own hands.

"It would be better if you paid attention earlier."

Lollipop has no choice but to look back and say to each day:
"This earthworm character is uglier than my brother's character. If I can recognize the GM, it must be your own father."

A day is a day:  …
