Gu Sanqiu was the first to step on the ice, leaving deep footprints on the thick and smooth ice, and then moved towards Kaiya step by step.
The people at the back naturally understood. Arataki Yidou followed Gu Sanqiu, and Diluc and Abedo stayed behind. The group lined up in a straight line and stepped on the same footprints to move forward steadily.
Water elements came from all directions again, and at the same time, the ice surface instantly began to reshape, trying to freeze the people who were trying to take advantage of it and fix it in place!
"Continue to go."
Gu Sanqiu in the front used a little force to crush the reshaped ice surface. Diluc and Keli in the rear set up a curtain of fire in mid-air, evaporating all the water elements launched.
When a sharp arrow struck, Gu Sanqiu concentrated on sensing the direction, and then quickly told Hanhan to fight, and Hanhan picked up the thick red-horned stone pestle and swung it wildly, smashing it into pieces.
"Hehe, it seems that this test is not that good either."
Gu Sanqiu reminded: "Pay attention, the speed and number of attacks will increase by more than one level as you go to the back. Don't capsize in the ditch."
"Don't worry, boss. After all, I also accepted a short-term commission from the Adventurers Association. I will never take it lightly before I step out on the ice!"
The falling speed and frequency of attacks from the rear were indeed much higher, but with the combined efforts of everyone, they were finally able to escape the attack, and even allowed Barbara to practice her control of the water element.
However, the reason why they could be so relaxed was because of Kaiya's fearless behavior of stepping on thunder. Otherwise, they would not be able to be as ready as they are now if they were always on guard against possible attacks.
When Albedo, who was at the end of the team, successfully landed, the ice disappeared, followed by roars. The ground that originally supported the ice collapsed instantly, and strong winds suddenly vented, catching the unprepared people.
Everyone blew it directly into the sky!
"Sanqiu."
"I know."
Gu Sanqiu shook his right hand hard at his feet: "There are no other big guys here. Are you trying to test your attributes by giving me food?"
"Certainly!"
The violent wind subsided, but there were still two rays of light of different colors flying out from deep underground and flying in two different directions!
"It's prism chips. Grab them. This is probably the key item to find the big devil!"
Gu Sanqiu waved his left hand and used the wind element to gently send the others to another direction. He and Abedo chose to fly after the second chip.
"We will split up and work separately. No matter whether we succeed or not, we will gather outside the valley in two hours."
"One fight and they will be handed over to you."
"Don't worry, boss!"
Hanhan roared angrily, and the weapon on his shoulder suddenly revealed its true form, exuding an intimidating and terrifying aura.
"Let's see who dares to come here to seek death!"
Gu Sanqiu and Abedo chased the prism chip away from the valley. As the two masters with powerful power energy tried their best to chase, Gu Sanqiu successfully held the prism chip that opened the key seal in his hands.
"Hey, it's really a perfect craft. I wonder if I can take it back to the secret library after using it to analyze the craft ingredients on it."
Whether this is a technology from the previous era, or a chip made by Alice through some forging technology from outside the world, it should be a good reference for the scientific research madmen in the secret library.
"If we get it, let's go look for them. None of them are good at speed. I'm worried that they will encounter some danger during the chase."
"Don't worry, they will not be in danger."
Gu Sanqiu threw away the chip in his hand, put it away and flew to Albedo's side. Holding the long sword in his hand, he held Albedo's shoulder and just put the blade of the sword against his neck.
"You don't think I made the decision of 'two flying units chasing the same chip' without really thinking about it."
"It's time for you to explain it to me, old friend. I'm curious about what you wrote on the back of your letter."
Abedo was quite calm: "Can't you use a tactful way when asking questions?"
"Obviously not."
Gu Sanqiu rolled his eyes: "Three handprints that are just right, the input is still rock element. When Kaiya passed by, there was quite dangerous ice surface, but when we passed by, most of them were water element attacks, and we didn't see many physical arrows.
.”
"I thought it was Ms. Alice who arranged other programs on this archipelago, or that the robots were on-site maintenance and test sites were created."
"But then I thought about it, and it seems that there is such a buddy around me who can do related things."
Gu Sanqiu began to analyze: "The front of the letter I received is a pretty average challenge letter from the Demon King Dudu, but on the back, Ms. Alice has revealed her identity."
"I guess the front of the letter you received asked you to cooperate well, and the back asked you to be responsible for guiding us to each testing location."
"Thankfully, I thought you were trying to drag me to set up a trap or something in advance, but after doing this for a long time, you were still able to hide your secrets!"
When he realized this, he almost couldn't stand it. The ghost was next to me for a long time!
Abedo responded calmly: "This is just your guess."
Gu Sanqiu looked at Abedo with dead eyes: "Then tell me whether my guess is correct."
"Okay, your guess is correct."
Abedo admitted that he was the man behind assisting Alice in causing trouble, that is, the hidden third party that Gu Sanqiu had always guessed.
"I'll just say it."
Gu Sanqiu put away the long sword: "Can there be more trust between people? If you told me about this earlier, maybe I can help you make the levels more complex and fun."
Abedo shook his head: "This is not a complicated question. This is a test that is just a joke. The difficulty is already met. There is no need to make it more difficult."
"Then have you considered that if this happens, the other people will become suspicious. To be precise, they should already be doubting the authenticity of the existence of the Great Demon King Dudu."
"It's not necessary, because this so-called test is basically over."
Abedo and Gu Sanqiu flew in the direction of Keli and the others: "Find the last chip and use the instrument to open the seal set by Ms. Alice."
"So it was basically all planned?"
"right."
Abedo glanced at Gu Sanqiu: "Originally, starting from the first test, the number of people was supposed to be gradually reduced, and then after Keli defeated a 'real' Dudu Demon King, the seal would also be opened.
"
"But Ms. Alice seemed to have a problem with everyone's strength estimation. Until the final explosion of the Wind Cave, there was no attrition."
Gu Sanqiu was stunned: "First of all, let me ask you, the attrition situation you mentioned is probably not attrition in the true sense. Isn't that right?"
"Of course, the so-called attrition is just that I will find an opportunity to tell them the truth after they fall behind, and then reunite again after the seal is released. Ms. Alice's original intention may be to give Keli a chance to grow.
"
"forget it."
Gu Sanqiu waved his hand: "Opportunities for growth are everywhere, but in the extremely hot summer, there are not many opportunities for fun without work and life pressure. This is true, right?"
