This circular altar on the Holy Mountain of Arreat is very famous. It is the only way to the Worldstone Fortress and the last supply point on the way.
As long as you can pass the test of the altar, there will be an absolutely safe area behind it, including a mountain road and the outskirts of the World Stone Fortress. I don’t know since when, someone has built several cabins here, including a hotel and a blacksmith shop.
and a pharmacy, providing a place to rest and prepare for players who have made the hard journey here.
"I've also played Diablo 2... Aren't you able to arrive here quickly along the exit after coming out of the teleportation station on the Ancient Road?" Cheng Peng listened to Shen Qi's introduction and asked in confusion, "This road is very long.
It’s simple, do you need supplies?”
"Climbing up the mountain from the ancient road is a privilege that only the protagonist can enjoy. We players are just helpers. The ancient road is not open to us at all. We can only climb up from the bottom of the mountain." Shen Qi pointed to the area shrouded in fog below.
Zhong Shanshan said, "This hillside is terrifyingly steep, and there are an incredible number of monsters of all kinds. The most terrible thing is that it is not even a dungeon mode, but an infinitely open large map... The speed of monster spawning can be imagined."
Know!"
"Although we can fly up on the dragon fish, most players don't have the kind of mounts that can drive away those monsters in the sky with their own pressure and fly up directly from the mountain... So they have to fight back and forth.
The monster army is fighting while finding its way forward on the rugged mountains that are constantly changing and collapsing... The vast majority of people are exhausted when they come here and really need supplies."
"But... I remember, aren't I going to be tested here and fight three ancient guardians?"
"Yes, but as long as you accept the test once, you can pass it directly in the future - the test is a copy and does not affect your journey." Shen Qi was naturally familiar with the situation here and explained to him, "It does not affect your work either.
Business."
"The guy who thought of opening a store here is a genius!"
"Well, he is indeed a bit of a genius. Basically, every time he goes to a place, the first thing he considers is whether there are business opportunities here and whether there are opportunities to make money... If the world of Datong had not arrived, maybe he would have become a world-famous businessman!
"
Cheng Peng slowly frowned. He felt that the person Shen Qi was talking about... seemed a bit familiar...
This feeling was verified soon after - when they walked through a group of continuous stone pillars covered with ivy, they suddenly saw a doll girl with white hair, simple clothes, delicate and beautiful face but cold expression, holding a piece of "
"Welcome to the service area of Fengyue Trading Company in Mt. Yarete" read the sign. He stood on the roadside as if to welcome guests, and he immediately reacted. --(
Fengyue Trading Company! Isn't this the shop of that profiteer?
"This guy is so amazing! He actually built a service area on the top of Mount Arreat... Why didn't the barbarians in Harrogas demolish all of his illegal buildings?"
"Those people can't get in." Shen Qi said with a bit of laughter, "The three guardians are selfless. No matter what the reason is, if you want to go up the mountain, you have to accept the test. The NPCs in Harrogath simply cannot pass it.
It was a test, so I could only watch him build it illegally on the holy land on the top of the mountain, and I was so angry that I couldn't do anything."
"This guy is really talented!"
The two were chatting and laughing while slowly moving forward among the collapsed stone buildings - this section of the road still belongs to the dungeon area. No matter how many players are walking in this almost half-ruined building complex, they can only watch.
to your teammates.
If you want to see other players, you must pass through the big circle in front, which is the public safe area.
The two came to the circular altar made of solid granite and stopped temporarily.
There is a stone platform erected in the center of the altar. On the stone platform is a magic book made of unknown metal. On the three corners of the altar, there are three golden bronze statues.
These three bronze statues are warriors who were inspired by the spirit of the Holy Mountain in ancient times. They voluntarily became the guardians of the Holy Mountain, becoming immortal beings and protecting the Holy Mountain forever.
Everyone who wants to move forward must activate the magic in the magic book, and then the three guardians will wake up and attack. Only by defeating them and passing their test can they be qualified to move forward.
Of course, the system is not unkind, and will not force everyone to use their base strength to fight against three - the three guardians are all seven-star NPCs, and it is certainly impossible for most players to fight against three. In fact, players
You can form a team to challenge, and a team can have up to twenty people!
As long as there is no one in the team who has passed the test, the magic can be activated smoothly. If the strength of twenty people cannot be defeated by the three guardians... then it is better to go down the mountain and continue to level up. The World Stone Fortress is not suitable.
You guys are not strong enough.
In other words, this "Test of the Ancient Guardian" is a copy of twenty people...but Cheng Peng and his team only have two people.
"It always feels a bit crazy to have two dungeons with twenty people."
"You can't say that. The twenty people in this dungeon are for six-star players. Seven-star players don't need so many people to form a team." Shen Qi knows the information about the dark world very well, and he can do it without looking up the information.
Say it, "The current record for the lowest number of people to challenge this dungeon is held by the elite adventure team of the 'Blood Crown', with three people."
"Three people? One to one?"
"It's not one-on-one, but one-on-three." Shen Qi shook his head and emphasized a detail, "Those three people happen to be the classic iron triangle of tactics and animal husbandry. The warrior is responsible for frontal support, and the mage is responsible for output and field control.
The priest was responsible for adding blood and assisting... The battle lasted for two hours. Fortunately, none of the three guardians had recovered their skills, so they were slowly worn to death."
"It's such a lack of courage!" Cheng Peng gave a very unkind comment to the three masters who worked hard for two hours to set the record - when there were only two of them, he would often do it from time to time.
Saying something that you wouldn't say under normal circumstances can be regarded as showing your true colors.
Husband and wife are the most intimate relationship in the world. No matter how sanctimonious a person is, when they get along in private, they often show that they are not so upright and not so tall.
Cheng Peng is no exception.
Not only did Shen Qi not feel anything unusual about his behavior, she actually liked it very much. Perhaps it was her instigation that in turn encouraged Cheng Peng's transformation when there were no outsiders...
"Qiqi, please stay here and help me take the camera. I'll try one versus three." Cheng Peng smiled, took out the magic gun, put on the golden armor, and the runes under the gun tip of Kungunir
Spin rapidly.
A smart player will make reasonable use of various system settings to increase his chances of winning as much as possible. Since this challenge does not prevent players from using some buffs before fighting, Cheng Peng naturally needs to be well prepared.
Shen Qi was not idle either. She walked around the altar, looking for suitable camera points, and then placed the camera elves one by one and made the settings.
In fact, if you use the panoramic camera mode produced by the system, you can easily get high-quality and all-round video, and it is very simple to edit and crop any way you want. However, the charging standard for the panoramic camera mode is too high, and I always like to spend the general points.
Shen Qi, who is on the edge of a knife, always avoids using this cheating function as much as possible.
About ten minutes later, Shen Qi's setup work was completed, and Cheng Peng's battle preparations came to an end.
The runes revolving around Kungunir have gradually stopped, but what is revealed in this stagnation is not a feeling of slowness and weakness, but a feeling like a volcano about to erupt, full of pressure.
and the calmness of spirit.
Everyone can see that these divine words have accumulated terrible power at this moment, and once they burst out, they will have earth-shattering power!
When he was ready, Cheng Peng took a deep breath, took a step forward, and put his hand on the metal magic book.
[You have arrived at the altar in Mount Arreat, which is guarded by ancient guardians. If you want to move forward, you must pass their test - defeat them! Only the strongest warriors are qualified to go to the World Stone!
】
He was about to prepare for battle when he received a second system message.
[Note: It is detected that the challenger also has the identity of an 'ancient hero', and the special challenge mode can be activated. This mode is only a special battle with an easter egg nature. It does not affect the normal mission process, but it may increase the difficulty of this battle. May I ask if
Activate special challenge mode?]
Cheng Peng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.
"interesting!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed [Yes] on the virtual screen in the air.
