Chapter 1,519 Everyone crosses the lake and enters the Hell Palace
We are on an unknown island in the middle of the lake.
The lake in front conveys a faint and breathtaking atmosphere.
There is some kind of terrible power brewing in it, which is enough to cause outsiders some suffering.
In fact, the fact that the lake water in front of you reduces the maximum health value by 1.5% every second is not terrible.
But when coupled with rules that limit self-healing and various healing abilities, it becomes quite tricky.
In addition, various means of rapid passage have also been restricted, which undoubtedly shows that the goal of the test is to force the lord to swim across.
The most intuitive solution is to sacrifice the lives of his men.
Use the rocks temporarily transformed by the victims to help the lord reach the shore.
Of course, this is not the only solution.
The Lord System will never issue questions with only one answer.
There are always some new and different ways hidden in it that can be discovered.
It just requires the lord to have some courage, wisdom, vision, and most importantly, strength.
In addition to individual strength, the number of props and rare objects possessed is naturally also a very important reference indicator.
Take Zong Shen for example, he has many rare items on hand.
Facing these weird lakes, you must use water-based props to deal with them.
Thinking of this, he flicked his wrist and took out a crystal drop of water in the next second.
It is the semi-god-level wonder-[Rong·Water Drop]!
It has an almost unlimited capacity to absorb water.
Able to absorb these strange lake waters like a glutton.
I'm afraid I can't take the lake out of the projection copy, but with the powerful ability it gives Zong Shen to avoid water, he should be able to get through it safely.
You must know that this water drop has three major water control passives.
They are:
[Water Blessing (can be immune to 70% damage to seventh-level water magic, 85% immune to sixth-level water magic, and 100% immune to six-level water magic below)]
[No drowning (you can breathe freely in water and high-density water elemental magic, and will not suffer related damage. At the same time, it can also reduce 90% of the basic pressure in environments with ultra-high water pressure such as deep seas, polar trenches, etc.)]
[Water control dance (when moving in the water, you can control the water flow around you to assist in moving forward, and can isolate part of the water element magic to a certain extent)]
…
No matter which one is picked out alone, it will be enough to help Zong Shen survive safely.
Although this is a copy scene with rule restrictions.
But you must understand that its level upper limit is not demigod, but the legendary mid-level.
Because the highest-level BOSS or core target [Dark Hell King Ming] stationed here only possesses legendary mid-level strength.
Therefore, facing the power of demigod-level wonders, a mere special lake is simply irresistible.
After calming down for a moment, Zong Shen raised his hand.
The [Rong·Water Droplet] in the hand lit up with a misty light.
The passive ability [Water Control Dance] was activated first, and the lake in front of him automatically separated to both sides and sank about eight meters.
This was not over yet, one of the knuckles on his palm flickered.
The cold light shines through the gauntlet, which is the effect of [Silver Dragon's Cold Cloud Ring (7th Level of Shining Light)].
When the skill [Cold Crystal Barrier] is activated, the frost spells are not weakened here. This is also one of the problem-solving methods Zong Shen saw from the rules.
The mysterious spell model was completed almost in the blink of an eye.
Along with the faint roar of the white dragon, countless amounts of frost magic swarmed in.
I saw a tall frost barrier suddenly appeared in the path constructed by [Water Control Dance] in the lake, and advanced as much as a hundred meters forward.
This is the effect of [Cold Crystal Barrier].
It can activate the frost element when activated.
A cold crystal barrier with a length of 100 meters, a height of 20 meters, and a width of 8 meters condensed from behind the ear, straddling a certain area.
This barrier has a solid value of 1.5 million points and a double resistance of 2000 points.
At the same time, it can weaken the magic damage of ice, fire and water elements.
It also has a certain probability of blocking long-range physical attacks, and its existence time is related to the environment. It can exist for a long time in extremely cold environments.
The skill cooldown time is 168 hours, which is not too long compared to its energy level and practicality.
When the [Cold Crystal Barrier] was completely formed, Mr. Zong immediately waved his hand.
The eight hundred and twenty soldiers on standby behind them hurriedly moved forward to separate the ice wall.
Although the barrier can only extend 100 meters in length, it is thick and long enough to hold it up.
If it is cut properly, it can be divided into ice slabs with a thickness of 40 to 50 centimeters.
Although this lake has serious erosion effects on living individuals, its buoyancy coefficient is normal.
A piece of ice can be used to build a floating ice road.
Yes, Zong Shen plans to take all the soldiers away from the island in the middle of the lake.
If he chooses to leave alone, there is no need to go to such trouble.
The main reason is that the number of surviving soldiers is also an important factor in the dungeon score.
The more soldiers who survive, the higher Zong Shen's score will be.
It is worth mentioning that the second phase of the challenge has a hidden time limit.
Even though there was no countdown, the slowly rising lake level still made Zong understand that it was not a wise choice to delay here for too long.
In line with the principle that great efforts can produce miracles, with the concerted efforts of more than 800 high-level soldiers, approximately a thousand ice slabs 2 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 40 centimeters thick were cut out.
These ice slabs are placed 3 meters apart, with frozen hemp ropes used as temporary connections between pairs.
The [Ring of Cold Cloud], which can breathe out cold air, becomes the most powerful productivity at this moment.
Zong Shen also enjoyed it endlessly.
Although he has a faster way to cross the lake, but given the conditions to strive for excellence, he doesn't mind doing better and trying to get the best rating possible.
After all, each lord can only clear the monster room instance once.
Come all come.
When the ice slab is ready, the lake is almost level with the shore.
The movement of the soldiers and the movement of the ice plates were carried out simultaneously, and Zong Shen was the only one holding the battle on the shore.
When the ice slab was laid, the first-ranked soldier also jumped onto the shore, and quickly grabbed the hemp rope hanging on the other side to help stabilize the ice slab.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then jump ashore one by one.
All the soldiers who came ashore would help pull the hemp rope.
Even with the control capabilities of most soldiers, the ice plate can be made relatively stable after jumping.
However, the jumping of more than 800 people will inevitably cause the ice board pontoon to shift.
Fortunately, everyone got ashore smoothly in the end.
During this period, some soldiers slipped and fell into the water, but were quickly pulled up by their colleagues.
The 1.5% blood deduction per second is not fatal, as long as you escape within 60 seconds without letting your health drop below the death line.
By the time all the soldiers came ashore, the lake water had covered about half a meter of the island in the middle of the lake.
But Zong Shen was still standing firmly where he was without any water around him.
Then he jumped across the ice and moved forward with a particularly graceful posture.
Every time he fell, the ice beneath his feet only sank slightly and was not overwhelmed by his growing weight.
This represents Zong Shen's improvement in controlling his own power.
In other words, he has become more and more accustomed to his extraordinary posture and is able to lift heavy weights with ease.
After successfully landing, the second stage of the test was passed without incident.
The surrounding scene gradually blurred and became clear again in just a few seconds.
Originally, there was a blue-gray rock wall right next to the shore.
But after the scene was restored, the rock wall disappeared and was replaced by a wide passage.
The width of the passage exceeds one hundred meters, but the front is gray and cannot be seen clearly.
At the front of this passage there is also a simple and broken stone pillar porch.
There is actually a plaque hanging at the top.
Very typical oriental style.
Zong Shen nodded slightly, as this violation seemed to be expected by him.
I don’t take anything seriously about the Eastern elements in [The Dark King of Hell Ming].
After all, just the word "King of Hell" in the name can explain something.
Of course, Zong Shen also knew very well that this guy must be different from the mythical King of Hell. He should be a special kind of extraordinary creature that has connections with the Eastern Continent.
This can explain why it can control the power of life and death at the same time and also has a unique military system.
The Eastern Continent is very mysterious to the current Endless Continent.
A lot of information cannot be exchanged.
This does not rule out the possibility that [Dark Hell King Ming] accidentally came to the Endless Continent, and eventually became a "local snake" and was defeated by King Arthur, the overlord of the kingdom at the time, and imprisoned in the Little Demon Abyss Prison.
Leaving aside the related origins for the time being, Zong Shen is more concerned about the information he may obtain about the Eastern Continent and the power of reincarnation after conquering [Dark Hell King Ming].
As well as the prison-type arms with independent characteristics.
Even if this system can only be developed to level 6, it will have far-reaching significance for someone in the sect who is launching a grand march plan.
He wants to develop more mass-produced arms as soon as possible in addition to the arms of the Kingdom of Avalon, which accounts for the largest proportion.
There are several current directions.
The first is the Elf system, followed by the Undead system and the Wild Wolf clan system.
However, because the corresponding recruitment volume is too small, he still needs to obtain more relevant relics materials or wait for time to accumulate enough independent soldiers.
Under such a general background, the emergence of the Hell-type arms is undoubtedly a good supplement.
Now it seems that the emergence of the Hell soldiers is not only related to [Dark Hell King Ming], but also has an inseparable relationship with the current environment.
Therefore, someone from the sect may consider creating a demiplane or other secondary space of a high level for [Dark Hell King Ming] alone.
All this is just the result of his speculation based on experience and partial known information.
We have to wait until we conquer [Dark Hell King Ming] to know the truth.
Zong Shen put away his thoughts and looked around again.
This place looks like a large underground cave somewhere, and the plaque on the passage in front also has three big characters "Dianyan Palace" floating in the gray mist.
These three characters look similar to ancient Chinese characters in that they are all composed of characters.
It's just that they are more complicated than ancient Chinese characters, and there are more peaks and ridges in the strokes.
Although he has never seen similar words, Zong Shen has no reading difficulties at all.
There is no doubt that these three words also have some characteristics of psychic words.
While he was observing silently, a new prompt appeared before his eyes.
This means that the second phase of the test is officially over.
[The second stage goal: cross the Hell Lake and reach the Hall of Dark Hell]
[If the lord successfully crosses the lake, he will be able to enter the next stage]
[The current stage has been completed]
[Time taken 57 minutes and 29 seconds]
[Rating: 135 (15 points deducted for time) 30 full points]
[The next phase announcement will be pushed in 5 minutes]
…
Zong Shen did not get full marks this time.
He spent too much time, which resulted in 15 points being deducted.
But it's still a good deal in comparison.
Because the full score is as high as 30, this gives him a total score of 165 points at this stage.
If Zong Shen chooses to speed through, he will have to abandon his soldiers due to the restriction that he cannot use space means.
He can still tell which is better between 150 points and 165 points.
Normally, the full score for a stage should be 150.
In addition, there may be some achievement-based score rewards, but they will never be too easy to achieve.
It doesn't matter, as long as you can pass the level with a high score.
Instead of running around randomly, Zong Shen sat down on a raised rock.
He looked boredly at the foggy passage.
The mist there is so misty that it blocks out the prying eyes that enhance vision, but it does not block out the ability to sense.
Zong Shen has a keen sense of perception, so he can feel the fierce and aggressive aura within it.
The five-minute countdown to the announcement will soon end.
Regarding the third stage, it is also the last stage of the Hell Monster Room.
【Evolution completed】
[The goal of the third stage: Enter the Palace of Dark Hell and defeat the King of Dark Hell, Ming]
[Countdown: 5 minutes]
[Restrictions: No flying, space movement]
[The environment automatically enters the dark state]
[The King of Dark Hell, Ming, who is in the Palace of Dark Hell, can recover 1.5% of his health per second, and all attacks received will be reduced by 30%]
[Mist of Dark Yan: The hall is shrouded in the fog of Dark Yan. Ming can escape into the fog at any time and has an invisibility effect equivalent to ninth-level stealth]
[All magic types and elements in the hall are extremely thin, and the spellcasting effect of the corresponding type will be weakened to 10% of the normal state]
[Every life that dies in the Palace of Hell will become a Hell Warrior fighting in the Hell after its death, with 80% of the attributes of the lifetime, and can last for a maximum of 30 minutes]
[After the countdown ends, you can enter the Hell Palace. Note that all members must enter before the final challenge of the third stage will begin]
…
Zong Shen quickly read the announcement in front of him.
It can be seen that the lord system does not give the lord a chance to hide troops at all.
For most lords, the accompanying soldiers are a great help.
But to Zong Shen, these soldiers were a burden.
But only by bringing them along can we try to get the highest score possible.
Otherwise, he would rather travel alone.
The five-minute countdown is not long.
After he ordered his soldiers to simply complete the new formation, the fog dispersed.
The interior of the huge passage has a clear view without any obstruction.
At the end of the passage is an ancient palace full of desolation.
The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the giant columns on both sides of the passage.
Each one is several meters in diameter and connects straight to the top of the channel.
There are still traces of peeling red paint on it, which is really an oriental style!
