Heavy footsteps came from the other end of the corridor, the sound was low and rhythmic, as precise as the beating of the heart, mixed with the sound of some stones colliding. The thief and the mage stopped, they squatted down, and Xiao Fen looked at
Teyi gestured for him to go up and have a look.
Teyi nodded and carefully entered stealth mode. He groped forward along the large shadows in the corridor. After about a few minutes, the human thief came back from the other end. He lowered his voice and said to the mage: "
Brass Golem!”
Xiao Fen frowned when he heard this. The brass golem doesn't use magic. It's better not to count on Teyi for physical attacks. You can't count on him as a mage to cooperate with him in sneak attacks, and thieves who don't have the ability to sneak attacks are the only ones in Canaan.
A piece of trash.
"Shall I summon a monster to cooperate with you?" The mage moved his fingers. The spell was ineffective, which made him feel helpless.
Teyi glanced at his dagger and smiled awkwardly: "I don't have a dagger as perverted as Qiqi! Besides, golems are immune to sneak attacks... so I hate golems!"
"Damn it! You forgot all about it!" Xiao Fen heyed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
"Why don't you try being invisible!" Teyi looked around nervously. The footsteps of the brass golem were getting closer and closer, and the ground could feel a slight vibration.
"Being invisible isn't enough. The Brass Demon Elephant has a keen sense of smell. You can't avoid its detection just like this." He thought for a while and gestured toward the top of the corridor: "Let's go up!"
"Go up?" The thief was slightly stunned. "How to go up?" He glanced at the smooth wall and asked with some doubts.
Xiao Fen showed a stupid look on his face and lowered his voice: "Nonsense, of course it's magic!" As he said that, he began to murmur spells in a low voice.
"Sorry, you know we don't have a mage in our team, and I'm not used to cooperating with you yet!" Teyi smiled awkwardly.
The mage raised his finger, and a circle of water-like waves shot out from his fingertips. Starting from the center of the water pattern, the mage disappeared little by little, and finally disappeared. Then the water pattern continued to spread out to all sides, covering Te Yi who was not far away.
It was also wrapped in. "Invisible ball." Xiao Fen ended the spell with a low murmur.
The human thief twisted his body uncomfortably, and asked doubtfully: "Are we invisible?"
"Nonsense!" Xiao Fen raised his staff and shouted: "Levitation Technique!"
A circle of soft yellow light shot out from them, and the two of them gradually flew off the ground, and finally landed gently on the ceiling of the corridor. "Cool! It's really amazing." Teyi swung his limbs as if swimming, surprised.
Feeling it, he sighed.
"Don't make such a fuss. Have you never been blessed by magic before?" Xiao Fen said angrily.
"Of course there is, although it's a little less!" Teyi said while swinging his arms in surprise: "But I haven't experienced the effect of flying since I became an advanced level. You spellcasters are so lucky... You must buy a pair of flying boots if you have the opportunity in the future.
Try it!"
"It's rare to see this!" Xiao Fen shook his head and sneered, then his expression became serious. "Hush, be silent!" He raised his fingers and made a silent gesture to his lips.
The two fell silent, and the only sound left in the entire space was the sound of heavy footsteps one after another. The mage felt the sound carefully. It was a sound of metal hitting the ground... but it was not heavy, indicating that the owner of the sound
It has great strength while also being extremely flexible.
"This sound is really oppressive. It is indeed a terrifying monster with a challenge level of 10 or above." The mage looked at the other end of the corridor attentively. Soon, a huge demon statue appeared in that direction with roaring footsteps.
It was a minotaur-like guy, but it was 16 feet tall. Its entire body was made of fine brass, which exuded a faint light in the dark. The brass golem was carrying a terrifyingly large weapon.
The ax was almost the same size as Xiao Fen's body. Its glowing red ruby eyes swept around, looking like a lord patrolling his territory.
Xiao Fen and Te Yi both held their breaths knowingly. They pressed their backs tightly against the ceiling and retracted their whole bodies as much as possible, as if this would reduce the chance of being discovered. The brass golem could walk easily.
It was not fast. It checked its surroundings every two steps and carried out its master's orders accurately - although this master no longer knew whether he was dead or alive.
The mage and thief looked nervously at this huge thing, only to see it slowly stop, twist its head and scan the flashing red eyes towards the ceiling. At that moment, Xiao Fen felt his body tremble.
"Damn it, go away...boss!" He prayed in his heart.
The demon's gaze swept across the ceiling, not even stopping for a moment. It swung its neck and continued to walk forward. After about a few minutes, the footsteps of the Minotaur demon disappeared at the other end of the corridor...
The mage and the thief carefully floated down. At this time, even their vests were soaked in cold sweat. "Damn it!" Teyi immediately cursed from the bottom of his heart. He twisted his head and squeezed out a few
Come dripping water.
"It's okay..." Xiao Fen floated down with lingering fear. The big guy's body and ax were too oppressive. Many warriors probably wouldn't dare to confront its huge ax head-on, let alone a mage...
And a no better thief.
"Damn, the only thing more exciting than this time is probably the last time I met a dragon!" Teyi walked forward with a somewhat wandering step. As he spoke, he turned back and glanced at the mage.
Xiao Fen let out a hey, until now he remembered that time when he 'dominated' the red dragon Tenglas to attack the bloody slayer at King Asuo's secret treasure, he felt passionate. The scene was so spectacular. But he was proud of himself.
, but the mage did not relax. He thought for a while and said to the thief: "Don't you have anything?"
"What is it?" The thief who was walking forward became nervous, and he glanced ahead and behind him warily.
"No." The mage patted his shoulder to let him relax, and explained while walking forward: "Brass statues are generally used to protect important places, such as... temples. It will only move when it is activated by a touch.
.”
"You mean?" Te Yi was slightly startled.
"I suspect that the guy responsible for chasing you has already arrived here." Xiao Fen raised his eyebrows and said.
Te Yi was stunned. He nodded and showed an indifferent smile. "Come on, come on. It's not yet certain who will kill whom!"
The mage pursed his lips. He quite admired Teyi's attitude - you must maintain appropriate vigilance, but you cannot scare yourself. This is what is called strategically despising the enemy, but tactically paying attention to the enemy. With this
With such appreciation, Xiao Fen began to try to talk to the thief. The two of them chatted in low voices and walked along the corridor. Soon they stopped in front of a small stone door.
Teyi gestured for the mage to stay back. He whispered: "Behind here is the labyrinth on the fourth floor. If you want to reach the temple area, you must pass through this maze full of traps. Be careful!"
, he attached himself to the stone door and began to disarm the trap.
Xiao Fen nodded, knowing that this was the maze that the thief had just mentioned to prevent enemy invasion. In addition to puzzles and traps, there were also a large number of magical monsters. The challenge difficulty was between 6-11. In fact, it was
A place suitable for leveling and adventure for teams above level 10.
"If the Fortress of the Gods can survive this time, it will probably become a popular leveling spot soon," the mage said with a low smile.
"Maybe! But it's not suitable for a lone ranger like me!" Teyi inserted the wire and tools into the keyhole, and then gently moved it with his hand. His movements seemed quite cautious. After all, once the trap here is touched, it will be there.
The ending of death and no life.
'Click!' There was a soft sound from the door. "It's done!" The thief rubbed his hands, obviously very satisfied with his method. He gently opened the door and took a look inside, and whispered: "Safe.
, no wonder!”
The mage glanced left and right and found that there was a brass pedestal on the left side of the stone door. It was obvious that the demon statue just came from here. He thought for a moment and raised his hand to summon the evolved Sha - according to his words,
The falcon turned into a crow.
"Master!" Sha let out a cry of surprise. She flew onto the mage's shoulder and rubbed her little head against Xiao Fen's hood, greeting her affectionately: "Hello, master! I miss you so much!"
"Do you miss me? You miss my black crystal, right?" Xiao Fen pushed Sha aside with disdain and whispered: "There is no crystal!"
Sarah's small red eyes immediately shone with dissatisfaction, and she hummed: "Then master, go to hell!" After saying that, she immediately took two steps back and stood on the other side of her shoulder.
"This dead bird!" Xiao Fen groaned in his heart.
"Come here, Master Mage, what are you doing standing there?" Teyi stuck his head out of the room and waved to Xiao Fen.
Xiao Fen hurriedly followed. Behind the stone door was a fairly spacious round hall. There was a door on each side of the round hall. There were some twisted and strange patterns carved on the doors. The colors of the patterns were yellow, white, red and
Blue. The mage searched for some strange symbols in the knowledge, and finally he found the corresponding meaning in the mysterious knowledge - the red symbol represents fire, the blue symbol represents water, the white symbol represents wind and the yellow symbol
The symbol represents earth.
"If those patterns represent different elemental monsters..." the mage murmured.
"What do you mean?" Teyi raised his head curiously.
Xiao Fen explained the meaning of those symbols to the thief, and the latter's eyebrows gradually gathered, and finally the serious expression turned into a curse: "Damn it! I hate elemental monsters! Just like I hate undead creatures!" he cursed.
"You just say you hate monsters that are immune to sneak attacks." The mage raised his eyebrows and forced a smile. He recalled the spells he had memorized and said, "Then let's go to the room marked with the water element."
The thief nodded, checked the door for traps, and finally waved his hand reassuringly: "It's safe! Follow me!" As he said that, he picked up the dagger and pushed open the door - what appeared in front of them was
A dark corridor.
Xiao Fen only glanced briefly before following Te Yi in. He vaguely felt something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't tell where the strangeness came from. Then, the fan that was said to be 'ordinary' did not
The door of the trap closed gently behind the two of them without any human push.
"Is this the so-called 'ordinary' door?" The mage raised his eyebrows and glanced at the thief - but he immediately caught the feeling that something was wrong. Dark, yes, darkness that could not be seen. The mage discovered that his
My eyesight cannot penetrate the darkness here.
"Sorry, there were indeed no traps there when I checked just now! Maybe my skills are not up to par..." Teyi spread his hands and lit a torch, but the light of the torch had no effect in the darkness.
"Damn it! Magical darkness!" the thief screamed. He threw the torch in his hand to the ground and immediately drew his dagger and leaned against the mage. "Dispel this darkness, quickly!" he ordered hurriedly.
Xiao Fen felt nervous again at this time. He had not experienced the feeling of darkness in a game for a long time. This sudden feeling made him feel a deep helplessness. "Try it!" Xiao Fen raised his head
The finger tried to cast a daylight spell.
"Come on!" The mage raised his staff and chanted the daylight spell. White light suddenly shot out from the top of the staff, but was immediately swallowed up by darkness without a trace.
"Now...what's the situation now?" The thief began to realize that something was wrong.
"It's not good! The situation here is beyond what I could predict..." Xiao Fen stepped back and put his hand on the door. He pushed it, but the door didn't move at all. A sense of fear swept over him, and the mage shouted
: "Knocking Technique!" The magic power poured out of his staff like a tide, but the door absorbed the magic power like a water-absorbing sponge and remained motionless.
The mage stopped what he was doing, confusion and fear enveloped him. He just stood there quietly, seemingly helpless, waiting for the attack to come.
"Is there no other way?" Teyi lowered his voice. He covered the mage behind him and used his senses to feel the surrounding sounds and air flow - but the surrounding darkness seemed to be alive, tightly covering all his senses.
It was wrapped so that he could not judge.
Boundless silence surrounded the two of them. The silence seemed to carry the aura of death. It was suddenly near and far away, making it impossible to comprehend...
But the expected attack did not come. The mage forced himself to calm down. He closed his eyes and said: "This situation is not right. Let me think about it. Don't move." Just as he said don't move, an idea suddenly came to him.
:What is the purpose of this darkness? Since there is no attack, why would the person who built this room cast this terrible darkness here? His purpose is to make us lose our calm. Yes, calm down!
The mage raised his finger and cast a dispel magic, but this time the system reminded him that there was no magic effect nearby.
"Just kidding!" The mage almost jumped up. This time he couldn't calm down anymore. Regardless of the purpose of this guy using this darkness - the question is, how could this kind of darkness that can cover his eyesight not be
Magical darkness!
The space once again fell silent, leaving only the soft breathing of the mage and the thief...
…………
On the other side, the battle between the mage and the ranger is coming to an end——
An arrow grazed Yun Na's cheek, tore a hood and flew out into the darkness. But at the same time, the elf female ranger also lost her final chance of victory - three skeletons put their swords on her neck.
The female mage hurriedly turned her head away and hid a wisp of stray silver in her hood. Then she turned back to look at Ke'er, who was being held by three skeletons with long swords on her neck, revealing a worried look.
"Ke'er...sister, are you not hurt?" Yun Na asked in a soft and concerned voice.
"Well, I lost." The female elf ranger lowered her head, seeming a little sad, but she quickly showed a smile. "But I won't give up. Thank you Sister Fengling for showing mercy!"
A gratified smile appeared on Yun Na's lips: "Sister Ke'er, have you admitted defeat? Then I will make those skeletons not like this... put the sword on your neck."
"Well, I won't stop you anymore...I mean this time, but next time it will depend on your own strength!" the female ranger said easily.
The female mage smiled and nodded, but this smile soon turned into a kind of shock - she saw a faint black shadow gradually appearing behind Ke'er, and the black shadow's left hand was obviously holding a cold light.
dagger……
"Be careful—!" Yun Na shouted excitedly—but it was obviously too late.
Ke'er's smile froze on her face. She turned her head slightly, just in time to see a cold silver blade stab into her neck...
