Looking at the world outside the Cordyceps Jade Mark, both Nicholas and Bai Qi's eyes were full of joy.
However, Nicholas was obviously more excited.
Originally, Cordyceps was fused with the green dragon's bloodline, and Nicholas had an inexplicable affinity for Cordyceps. Now that Cordyceps has understood the emerald mark, in Nicholas's eyes, even though it doesn't look like it, it is already the original green dragon.
"By the way, we entered here as soul bodies. If we go out now, won't we be able to return to the physical body?"
After the excitement passed, Bai Qi thought of another question.
"No, this dragon is just a soul body now. Leaving the dream is equivalent to waking up from the dream."
Nicholas shook his head, opened an exit and got out. Then Bai Qi saw a huge dragon head approaching the entrance opened by Cordyceps, beckoning them out.
Seeing that there would be no accidents, Bai Qi left the Emerald Dream with confidence and returned to his body.
"Bai Qi, what did you do just now? Why were you awake and asleep for a while? And that place just now..."
Seeing that Bai Qi and others finally woke up, Bai Qiucha couldn't help but asked her doubts.
"Strictly speaking, it should be just a dream."
Bai Qi simply told Bai Qiucha what he had just experienced. Only then did Bai Qiucha understand and felt regretful.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have resisted. Otherwise, I would have gone to see the legendary Emerald Dream."
"It's okay, we'll have a chance to go in soon."
Bai Qi grinned, and the idea in his mind gradually took shape.
"By the way, is the teleportation talisman array still there?"
"Still."
Bai Qiucha nodded and said, "But, Bai Qi, wouldn't it be best for you to rest for a while before going in?"
The gatekeepers on the fourth level are already emperor-level. It is conceivable that there is a high probability that there are emperor-level creatures in the fifth level.
Although it is possible to rely on Nicholas to defeat the enemy, in this case, the meaning of training is completely lost, and there is also the risk of triggering the counter-mechanism of the Dusk Tomb.
"It's okay, let's go take a look first."
Bai Qi picked up the teleportation runestones on the ground, sensed them carefully, and then walked towards the teleportation array with his six pets.
I finally collected the teleportation runes and opened the teleportation talisman array. If I didn't even take a look at it, I would feel really uncomfortable.
Anyway, there are teleportation runestones, so if you can't beat them, you can just run away.
Seeing Bai Qi's behavior, Bai Qiucha was helpless and could only follow him.
"Can I not go? It's really boring here."
Nioxi Snake, who had just woken up, saw the actions of Bai Qi and the two of them and raised his head reluctantly.
"I almost forgot about you."
When Bai Qi heard this, he suddenly thought about it, ran to the cowhide snake, and looked at it carefully.
"You were obviously sleeping just now, why didn't I see you entering the dream state?"
"Dream? I never dream."
Niu Shen looked at Bai Qi with an innocent face, and then Bai Qi remembered Granny Fan's evaluation of Niu Snake.
"Is there really a living thing that can live without a soul?"
Because of the bonus from the Emerald Dream, Bai Qi's desire to explore was particularly strong, and he once again wanted to study the cowhide snake, but thinking of the current environment, he suppressed it for the time being.
Anyway, this thing can't run away, let's wait until we have time.
Bai Qi threw the cowhide snake back to Nicholas, turned around and stepped into the teleportation array.
Then, the moment he was teleported out, Bai Qi felt a hot breath coming over him, and the strong sense of suffocation almost made him faint.
Fortunately, Gama immediately protected Bai Qi, and Bai Qiucha also quickly entered an armed state.
"This fifth floor is really not open to strangers."
Feeling the terrifying heat around him that was comparable to the fire elemental world, Bai Qi couldn't help but think of some bad memories.
"The temperature here is so high, the enemies must be undead with fire attributes, right?"
Bai Qiucha looked around and found no trace of the enemy.
"If I guess correctly, the fire-attribute undead in the Twin Towers of Ice and Fire should have been captured from here."
Looking at the steaming heat around him, Bai Qi quickly thought of the Twin Towers.
Since the Dharma Emperor arranged for Pyro on the fourth floor, he must have come to sweep the fifth floor, and maybe even grabbed some materials from here to take back.
However, there is obviously no flame in this place, but the temperature is so high, it is almost like a steamer, which is really weird.
"Jetta, let's cool down the surroundings first. This temperature will affect the performance of our combat effectiveness too much."
Bai Qi glanced at the husky who had already hid under the ether armor, then turned to look at Jeta.
Hululu~
(I know~)
Jetta nodded obediently and blew lightly around him. A blizzard suddenly blew up on the fifth floor, instantly freezing the area dozens of meters around Bai Qi.
"Sure enough, the contract with Jeta is extremely correct."
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this. Even if he didn't care about Jieta's mythical bloodline, this ice attribute ability was indeed very convenient.
At least, it can play a great role in this environment.
However, before Bai Qi and others could take action, the ice created by Jetta began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then evaporated, almost burning them.
"Is the temperature so high?"
Bai Qi frowned slightly. Although it is said that Jeta's combat effectiveness becomes stronger as he moves forward, it does not mean that Jeta's ice ability is weaker.
Whether it is the passive skill Ice Contract or the active skill Blizzard, they are both super skills. How could they be evaporated so easily?
"The temperature here is a bit abnormally high. I recommend not to stay for a long time."
Shuke carefully examined the surrounding environment and put forward his suggestions very seriously.
"If we fight in this environment for a long time, we can easily fall into passivity."
After hearing Shu Ke's words, Bai Qi couldn't help but remain silent.
Indeed, not even the Jet Tower can lower the surrounding temperature. It would be fine if the gatekeepers of the fifth-level secret realm appear soon. If it is delayed for a long time, both the pet beasts and them will probably be unable to bear the physical strength.
"Let's explore the area first and get a general understanding of the situation before going back. What do you think, Ah Cha?"
Bai Qi thought for a moment and made a suggestion.
"Okay, let's collect some information so that we won't be so passive next time."
Bai Qiucha nodded. Since they were already here, leaving like this would not be helpful for their next exploration. It was better to collect some useful information first so that they could make targeted preparations next time.
The two agreed and continued to set off, and Nicholas also transformed into a human and followed behind them.
This kind of temperature basically has no effect on him, and it is easy to help Bai Qi and others relieve their pain, but Bai Qidu said not to take action unless there is a life or death crisis.
Unless the Nightmare Dead Apostle actively seeks death like he did just now, he will not take action casually.
Compared to the fourth level, which has twists and turns and a pitch-black cave, the fifth level is almost flat, with no terrain undulations at all.
But even so, Bai Qi and the others still couldn't see even half of the monster.
The only thing it has is heat.
As hot as a steamer.
"It's not on the ground, is it underground?"
Bai Qi walked for a long time, but still couldn't find the monster. He patted Delta, and Delta transformed directly into a tyrannosaurus. The earth trembled and the surrounding earth was torn apart instantly, and streams of hot air surged out from the gaps, frightening
Bai Qi and others were in a state of panic.
But even so, no enemy appeared.
"Isn't this fifth floor a no-man's land?"
Bai Qi was confused. He had mentioned this situation during the training. Some secret realms had gone through too much time and if the original structure was too complex, there would be a situation where certain levels were left unmanaged.
If it is a trial-type secret realm, the challenger will definitely lose blood when encountering this kind of situation, but if it is an exploration type, it will be a blood gain.
Considering that the Emperor had been here before and the seemingly endless water and fire souls in the Twin Towers, Bai Qi had every reason to suspect that this place had been swept away by the Emperor.
"The people in the past planted trees and the people in the future are enjoying the shade. Although there is no challenge, it is good to be able to directly enter the next level."
Bai Qi grinned. There was no gatekeeper, so they only needed to find the teleportation talisman array to directly enter the next level.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
(Human, there seems to be something in front of you!)
At this moment, Beta suddenly issued a warning, and everyone immediately entered a fighting state, looking around vigilantly.
Just after waiting for a long time, Bai Qi and the others still failed to see any enemies appear.
"Is it an enemy that can become invisible or burrow into the ground?"
Bai Qi did not doubt Beta's perception ability, and after a brief pause, Alpha waved the sword of death, and the death sword energy flew out in a circular shape towards the surroundings.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Following a series of crisp sounds, the Death Sword Qi located not far in front of Bai Qi was blocked by something. Then Bai Qi saw that the "earth" in front of him actually stood up and stared at several people with a pair of fiery red eyes.
people.
"This is the Gatekeeper?"
Bai Qi was stunned when he saw this. Before he could figure out the enemy's level, Nicholas took the lead to stop him and said, "This guy is a legendary creature!"
"Legendary creature? Isn't this allowed to be played anymore?"
Bai Qi was dumbfounded. No wonder the teacher told him to just play on the first three floors and not take risks on the later floors.
This is not an adventure, it is clearly looking for abuse!
"Do you want me to take action this time?"
Seeing Bai Qi's irritable look, Nicholas volunteered to show off.
After training with Aletta for so long, he also wanted to perform well.
"Forget it, even if you defeat this level, you will still have to take action on the next level. It's not interesting."
Bai Qi shook his head, looked at Bai Qiucha and planned to leave.
"Human boy, don't leave in a hurry."
At this moment, the fire man suddenly appeared on top of the huge fire tiger and stopped Bai Qi.
"Assistant to the Emperor, why are you here? Moreover, you are still standing on that legendary creature?"
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, and then a bold idea flashed through his mind.
Could it be that this place has been completely controlled by the Fa Emperor?
