As they climbed higher and higher, the Negong Yakuza only felt that the power of absorption exerted on them by the outside world was continuously weakening. At the same time, the strange and powerful sense of restraint on the ground also faded away. Undoubtedly, the "friendliness" of the environment
"Transformation" immediately made Ji Dao's mood even more exciting. It seemed that going upward was indeed the "right" direction.
However, they passed countless pipes and pillars along the way, but could not find anything unusual or special. And after suffering several losses, they were fully vigilant about those seemingly empty rooms.
, they didn’t dare to step into it casually anymore. Therefore, until later, the five jidao all moved upward without looking around, just scrambling to see what was on the top.
They continued to go up in unison for about half an hour, and estimated that they had climbed several thousand meters in height based on the distance traveled by Ji Dao. Finally, the originally parallel stairs began to gradually get closer, and the entire space also showed a cone-shaped contraction.
Situation. Looking up again at this time, you can see a faint light above your head in the distance.
"That's it!"
Almost in unison, the five Negong Ji Dao shouted at the same time, and then suddenly climbed up with all their strength.
The target has appeared, and no one wants to fall behind at the last moment. Moreover, the binding force on the ground has weakened a lot at this time, making it easier for the Yakuza to charge quickly.
Among them, the sprint of Aurora of the Abyss is undoubtedly the fastest. Especially when "Mrak's Silver Emblem Cross Blade" rises dazzlingly again, Karasha transforms into a silver light and takes the lead.
Seeing this, the evil dragon Kabinsky and the beholder tyrant Barnier were both very anxious. No longer caring about retaining their strength, they soared into the sky with the "power of dragon flying" and "spiritual wings" respectively, but they were actually restrained by the remaining
Pulled by the force, Shengsheng floated into the air and flew after Karasha.
On the other side, Hathaway was not strong enough to resist the constraints of the floor and fly, so she had to continue to catch up on foot. Fortunately, she was an agile Yakuza, and even relying on her physical strength alone was not slow, and she was not far behind.
But only Cleveland is really relatively lacking in speed.
When he saw other extreme paths being activated one after another, the guardian of the labyrinth couldn't help but his eyes flashed. He looked at the dim light above his head again. The Minotaur Warrior finally made a decision. He saw the sacrificial fire on the horns above his head once again.
It became blazing. Immediately, the Magic Cube emerged beside him, covering the steps of a hundred meters up and down. It must be said that directly opening the domain power in the current secret place is very likely to trigger some of Marquez's rule settings.
The risk taken is not just one or two. It's just that if Cleveland wants to keep up with the big team, it has no choice but to do so.
Then, only Cleveland roared. The green flames above its head exploded, forming a film of fire that completely covered the figure of the maze guardian.
"Snapped!"
The next moment, the circular fire film suddenly broke open and turned into a patch of fire. But when the fire film dissipated, Cleveland was nowhere to be seen.
And at the same moment, at the edge of the upper end of the Magic Cube, a burly figure suddenly appeared. It was the missing guardian of the maze.
No distance within the domain!?
But as soon as the Demonic Cube arrived, the other four poles immediately noticed it and turned around to look back, wanting to see what the bold Minotaur Martial Saint was going to do. However, they did not expect that what they saw turned out to be the legendary creature.
"No distance within the domain" is only possible in fields above level 15!
When did Cleveland's power become so powerful!? Although he is only level 14, he can teleport over short distances with the power of his domain. Considering the powerful field control ability of the Magic Cube, such a maze guardian has already
With a strength close to level fifteen.
Immediately, the thoughts of other Nigonji Dao were spinning, and they also had a new understanding and positioning of the current competitive situation and strength distribution.
When he recovered from the short-term confinement of "No Distance in the Domain", Cleveland's face turned a little abnormally flushed. In fact, such domain stunts would still be too much of a burden for him, if it weren't for the certain spatial attributes implicit in the Magic Cube itself.
, it is impossible for a labyrinth guardian who is only level 14 to "perform" in front of other Yakuza so impressively. This not only exposes his trump card prematurely, but also makes the original "allies" become alienated or even
Hostile. However, if this were not the case, Cleveland would really be left far behind by other competitors, so it had no choice but to bite the bullet and act reluctantly.
Through such teleportation, Cleveland immediately erased the original gap, and even overtook Karpinski, Barnier and Hathaway. However, there is still a considerable distance on the way up, guarded by the maze.
The average speed of the players. If you want to maintain such a "team position", I'm afraid you will have to do it a few times in the future...
While the Yakuza were chasing after each other, at the lower end of the secret place several kilometers below the "altitude difference", Moriarty continued to walk alone on the road to the unknown.
Around him, the intensity of power extraction is increasing ruthlessly. Even from just now, Moriarty has felt that the loss of his physical strength and magic power has even doubled the speed of his own recovery. If it is allowed to develop like this, it will only last a moment.
If not, he will die due to exhaustion of physical strength and loss of strength.
Unable to do so, Moriarty began to drink an "Adventurer's Potion Set" every five minutes to relieve the rapid consumption of energy in his body. And such a "rich man"'s "drug-taking" style is actually very harmful to his body.
It will create a huge additional burden. After all, taking too many tonics can kill people, let alone eating them as food.
However, Moriarty no longer has time to think about this problem. Because the stairs under his feet still extend infinitely, with no end in sight, but at the same time, the supplies in his space pocket are disappearing as fast as ice and snow melt. Even if it is
With the reserves of this genius alchemist, he can only sustain it for about another hour. By then, if he still cannot reach the guessed "digestion" location, or if he breaks through the game through other means, Moriarty will undoubtedly die.
Go back? Or continue downward?
No matter how strong his will was, at this moment, under the condition that his life was seriously threatened, this question began to echo in Moriarty's mind instinctively.
This is not timidity, nor cowardice. It is the instinctive self-protection mechanism of any normal life form when facing desperate situations. Otherwise, if it is so emotionless to regard death as home, then this is no longer wisdom with independent control.
A living thing, but a puppet of some kind of thought.
Moreover, for Moriarty, whether he is going up or down, he must decide immediately. Because even if he stands still, the power of absorption is always "sucking" his life. If there is any further delay, even if he arrives
When the time comes and I want to go back, I no longer have enough supplies to go back.
How to go?
Facing the "torture" sent from his body to his mind, Moriarty was also struggling.
Downward is the unknown. Upward is also unknown... Downward is the danger of dying soon, upward is the risk seems to be reduced... Downward is the answer given by reason, but upward is the instinct screamed by the body...
Since coming to this world of swords and magic, Moriarty seems to have faced such a cruel test for the first time.
Because it is different from the previous life-and-death battles. This time, it is not only an external crisis of survival, but also Moriartich's own fear and wavering.
Because at this moment, the right to choose is really in his own hands!
When there is no choice, life and death are just monotonous results; but when there is choice, life and death become an extremely difficult process. In fact, this process will exceed the result of life and death, and become a greater burden and difficulty.
, to extremely painful torture.
And now, Moriarty is fighting against this torture.
Yes...combat...
Lowering his head, Moriarty moved his lips gently, but did not make any sound, as if he was talking to himself silently.
You can go up and down, but you can never stop!
Finally, after a moment's pause, Moriarty moved forward again.
The direction remains downward!
Yes, it's still downward. It's not that the brain has defeated instinct, nor has self-confidence taken over. The reason why Moriarty finally made such a choice is that he adheres to one point:
Up and down are actually unknown life and death, the probability is different. But if it goes down, it is victory in the battle.
When the choice of fate falls into his own hands, Moriarty must ensure that he can hold it tightly instead of throwing it away in fear. If he cannot do this, even if he obtains the legacy of Marquez, he will
After all, he is just a hollow shell with a weak heart, not worth mentioning at all.
Therefore, after letting go of the fetters of the final outcome of life and death, Moriarty grasped the choice more firmly in his hands and allowed himself to walk on the path of the heart of the strong. And in this regard, Moriarty was thinking
As it becomes more and more clear, there is no need to worry about destruction, even if the final outcome is to be sucked up on the stairs of the secret place.
Just like that, down...down...down...
When a quarter of an hour passed, the absorbing power enveloped in the space had reached three times the rate of Moriarty's own recovery. Body fluids began to leak from the surface of Moriarty's skin and even blood evaporated into the air...
When half an hour passed, Moriarty's stomach had been severely burned and even perforated due to an overdose of alchemical potions in a short period of time. Even any liquid could no longer pass through the throat, and instead was forced to vomit out by the body immediately. In this regard,
He had no choice but to swallow the medicine and the test tube into his throat, and then crush the wall of the glass tube in his esophagus...
When an hour passed, all the supplies in the different-dimensional pockets were exhausted, and Moriarty's body was severely damaged. The consumption of physical strength, energy, magic power and even life force were approaching the warning line, but there was still an endless downward staircase in front of him...
No matter how long it took, Moriarty's eyes were almost completely darkened, he couldn't hear any sound in his ears, and his body was as blurry as someone else's... But even so, he still walked on the downward stairs, walking
Very slowly, but did not stop...
Finally, when the boundless darkness completely fell, Moriarty even had an illusion in his daze, as if his body had shriveled up, and his soul was about to escape from the dying body, and then be completely devoured by the "hunger" of the secret place...
And at this moment, "Tong Tong Tong...", at the moment when his heart almost stopped, another strange but abnormally strong pulse sound began to sound deep in Moriarty's soul. Then, a cold silence filled his heart.
The fiery energy all over the human body begins to surge and stir in the withered bones and flesh like new blood...
At some point, Moriarty opened his eyes, filled with deep darkness and fierce flames. (To be continued...)
