Unexpectedly, Xiao Fen only had time to utter a vicious curse before he fell into the pit. Then the flap above his head suddenly flipped over, making a muffled sound, and then the surrounding space became silent again.
"Feather Falling Technique!" Xiao Fen shouted in a low voice from the pit, and a burst of yellow light emitted from his body. His descent suddenly decreased, and he slid down slowly like a feather.
Floating to the center of the pit, he looked at his feet. There were sharp spikes dancing with flames. Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out behind him. If he fell like this, there would be no hope of survival. He looked around, and then stretched out
He pressed his left hand against the wall, feeling the cold metal touch coming from his fingers.
"Metal! Damn it!" Xiao Fen immediately gave up the idea of walking through the wall. He waved his staff with his right hand and whispered: "Spider Walking Technique!"
The Spider Walking Technique allowed him to easily walk on the wall. He slowly clung to the metal wall and climbed towards the top of the pit. Then he raised a finger and was about to use a tapping technique to open the trap door. Unexpectedly, at this moment
A dull sound of footsteps came from the west side.
"Someone is coming!" Xiao Fen suddenly became alert, his muscles contracted violently, and every nerve became tense.
The wooden door on the other side of the stone chamber opened with a click, and then, a burning mage wearing a black robe with red edges on the cuffs walked in. He held a torch in his hand, and the beating light of the torch reflected half of his body.
A pale face.
"Has someone touched the trap?" The mage murmured to himself. He walked towards the pit with a torch, carefully observed the trap's left and right sides, then nodded and inserted the torch into the wall, and then grabbed a handful of crosses from the wall next to it.
He took the bow, twisted the string, and then leaned down to open the flap.
Clasping the wooden lid with a withered hand, the other hand hooked the trigger of the crossbow and aimed at the entrance of the trap. The mage hesitated for a moment, then stood up straight, waved his hand and shouted: "Mage Armor!"
A circle of translucent force field armor bounced off his body. He nodded with satisfaction, then bent down and pulled open the flap. With this movement, a darkness appeared in the pit in front of him, yes.
, absolute darkness.
"Darkness!" Mage Burning Ember gasped, and immediately realized that something was wrong. He quickly threw away the crossbow in his hand, then raised his hands and began to prepare an attack spell, but it was already a step too late. In the darkness of the pit, this
Then a low chant came out.
"Any door!" This was Xiao Fen's voice.
A white halo of light appeared above Master Burning Jin's head, and then Xiao Fen fell out of any door.
Master Burning Jin turned around in horror, and what greeted him was Xiao Fen's elbow that was getting bigger and bigger - "Bang!" There was a crisp sound of flesh, and Master Burning Jin was severely hit by Xiao Fen's perfect mid-air elbow.
He was beaten into the pit. He screamed and fell heavily to the bottom of the pit, and then his body was pierced by flaming spikes, emitting an unpleasant burning smell.
Then Xiao Fen, who had poor balance skills, also fell to the ground with a bang. This time, he was really "throwing himself to the ground". The pain was so painful that he almost screamed. But he had to endure the pain and got up, and looked closer to the trap.
He glanced at the scorched corpse at the bottom of the pit, smiled evilly, then slammed the trap door shut, sat down on the ground and gasped for air.
"Damn! It's so exciting!" He wiped his forehead and was already covered in cold sweat.
After resting for a while, he got up again and went out through the door the mage came in. He found a corridor outside the door. He turned his head and looked to the left. There was no one here. He breathed a sigh of relief.
, and turned to the right.
As soon as his eyes moved to the right, he saw a bad old man wearing a black robe with four red edges appearing in front of him. This surprise almost made Xiao Fen scream out in fright, and he took two steps to the left.
, looked at this old man with a white head warily, raised the rules of the dark secret law, and made magic gestures with his left hand, but did not dare to act rashly.
Six feet in front of him was an old man with a wrinkled face and a hunched body. The old man was holding a fiery red staff. He half-squinted his eyes and raised his head slightly to look at Xiao Fen. But Xiao Fen noticed
The color of the opponent's robe was black with four red stripes. In his mind, he had never seen a Burning Ember Mage dressed like this.
"Oh...who is this?" The old man blinked, with a trace of doubt in his cloudy eyes.
Xiao Fen opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer. He was extremely nervous now, his body was shaking slightly, and beads of sweat fell from the tip of his nose little by little - the other person seemed to be very strong, but his eyes seemed to be not working well.
He didn't recognize himself as the enemy, but he didn't dare to speak or move at the same time. If the other party was alerted, everything would be over.
The old man raised a finger and shook it. This action made Xiao Fen alert.
"Oh... let me think about it, young people like you rarely come here, and I don't know you very well!" The old man clapped his hands, showing a thoughtful look.
Xiao Fen took a step back, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in his heart. If the old man in front of him really thought that he was someone else, he might have been able to get through this level of confusion. As if to enhance the effect of deception, he flicked his fingers and cast
He used a magic trick to tattoo a red border on the edge of his black mage robe.
"I know! You are the same Faith last time! Yes! The guy who was sent to the guide by me." The old man suddenly raised his head, snapped his fingers, and said to Xiao Fen with certainty.
"That's right, I..." Xiao Fen spoke subconsciously, suddenly realizing something was wrong, he hurriedly shut up and nodded.
"That's right! You're lucky today! Don't worry, I won't send you to the guide again! Because I'm short of manpower here!" The old man nodded, touched his chin with his dry hand and said:
"Come and do something for me, do you have time?"
Xiao Fen immediately shook his head. He didn't have time to mess around with this confused old guy now. God knows if he would suddenly wake up and use a spell to blast him into pieces or something.
"Well..." the old man showed a troubled look, "This will be troublesome. In this case, I will have to tell your guide that you have entered the restricted area by mistake again... Hey, really, how can you young people make the old man distressed?
Woolen cloth?"
Xiao Fen's eyelids were twitching. He finally understood a few meanings of this sentence. First of all, this is a restricted area, which is good news, but the bad news is that he was discovered, and he was discovered by a very powerful old guy.
and another good news is that this old guy seems to regard himself as another person, and the bad news that comes with it is that this person seems to have something to be caught in the hands of this old guy... and according to this old guy
He said that as long as he did not agree to his request, he would take him to see the so-called guide. By then, it would be difficult for him to identify himself or not.
Xiao Fen sighed and nodded in agreement.
"Young man, don't sigh all day long. Come on!" the old man said with a smile, and the wrinkles on his face smoothed out. He stroked the beards on his chin, "Faith, don't you complain about me all the time?"
Can't I give the task to Demi? I'll leave it to you for my last task this month! As for the reward for the task, it depends on how well you complete it."
Xiao Fen was slightly stunned. He scratched his head and thought disapprovingly. This old guy really couldn't understand the situation and actually asked the enemy to help. But at the same time, he also felt a little vigilant. He was a little suspicious that the old guy in front of him was actually
Playing dumb.
Thinking of this, he looked warily at the black robe of the old guy in front of him, with four red lines. If he guessed correctly, according to the order of the red lines of Master Burning Ember, this old man should be at least level 2o*
*Master. Logically speaking, there is no need for mages above level 20 to pretend to be stupid in front of him. With his strength, he can directly erase himself from here without leaving any traces.
The old man thought for a moment, raised a withered finger and said: "Go left from here to the construction showroom, pull out the ruby on the plate and give it to me... Well, this is the first step, the rest
, you should finish this first and then talk."
"System prompt: The mission 'Old Tust's Request' has been triggered. The mission level is F. Do you want to accept it?"
Xiao Fen nodded, mechanically turned around and walked to the left. There was a trace of disapproval in his heart. Once he was out of sight of this old guy, he could go wherever he wanted, no matter what the mission was.
Just as he was walking forward with this complacent thought, the old man's laughing voice came from behind: "Faith, don't be lazy. If I don't see you back within fifteen minutes, I will
I found you by sensing your location! Old man, I will have no choice but to send you to your guide! Last time, yes, just like last time!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fen felt that his feet were weak. He groaned in his heart and thought to himself: "What a fate!"
…………
Although unlucky things continued, fortunately there seemed to be no one else in this so-called restricted area. Ten minutes later, Xiao Fen finally arrived at the construction showroom that the old guy mentioned safely. He gently opened the door and walked in.
As soon as I looked at it, I suddenly took a breath of air. This showroom is indeed a construction showroom. From left to right, fourteen steel demonic statues are neatly placed there, but their surfaces are covered with dust, and they look like they have aged.
Long lasting steel statue.
Xiao Fen shrank instinctively and found that the steel demon elephant had no reaction at all. He blinked and secretly said, "Aren't these things activated yet?"
Carefully pushing open the huge iron door and walking into the room, he looked around, and his eyes quickly fell on the iron plate in the center of the room. On it was a beautiful gem that shone red, far away.
Looks extremely charming.
Xiao Fen looked around again, but there was still no movement. He breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that this was indeed an ordinary F-level mission. It looked very simple. He clapped his hands and approached the gem and looked carefully.
After a moment, he reached out and pulled it up, and at the same time said: "I hope the next task will be so simple. I don't want to stay in this place anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, a metallic voice came from behind.
"The power source is activated, and the demon elephants will start to move from 1 to 14."
"Demon Elephant No. 1-14 begins to execute the final order, alert!"
"Alert and kill all non-Burning Masters! Over!"
Then, a clear sound of metal friction came over...
Xiao Fen let go of his hand, and the ruby fell to the ground with a clang. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he finally realized that he had been played by the other party from the beginning.
He turned around with a pale face, and fourteen steel demon elephants were taking the first step towards him...
The ground shook, and there was the sound of steel hitting...
On the other side, in the corridor, the old man just now was smiling and hunched forward with a red staff, and kept saying: "The mage possesses not only spells, but also wisdom. Yes, wisdom...
...It's a pity that these young people just don't understand..., but the young man just now seemed quite fun. It's a pity that I have used up all my spell slots today, otherwise I could use arcane magic to play with him..."
"What a pity, what a pity..." He smiled and shook his head, his white beard shaking.
