"Are you kidding..." Ma Sen quit. He just came to participate in the trial, not to sacrifice his life. Shadow Valley is also a place where people go. Ma Sen didn't want to go in alive and come out as a mummy.
"I'm not in the mood to joke with you!" Because of today's mission, Medellin has long been angry, but this is the decision of the Supreme Council. Even if he is unwilling, he can only resolutely implement it. At that moment
When there was no place to vent his anger, Ma Sen actually dared to come to his door. The result was obvious, and he was scolded by Medellin on the spot.
"Do you think I am willing to take you to Shadow Valley? Damn it...this is the decision of the Supreme Council!" Medellin's goatee trembled, and his finger almost poked Mason's nose: "If you are not convinced, just
Go talk to the Supreme Council, there is no use yelling at me!"
"Do I dare to go? I..." Mason muttered in a low voice and ran away in despair. He did not dare to provoke the furious Medellin.
Medellin was indeed very unhappy. When he came out of the Magic Guild, his face was still full of anger. In Medellin's view, this time the Supreme Council was simply full and had nothing to do, so it actually put a trial
The mission leads to the Valley of Shadows, where there are always level 10 undead creatures. What should I do if something happens?
Especially Feyre, if something happens to this kid, he will be in big trouble...
Not to mention the bet half a year later, just one Anduin was enough to give Aldwin and I a headache. What is the relationship between the old guy and Feyre? Even a mentor can't be so close to his disciple, right? I think.
Thinking about a trivial matter that day, Huo Lun was seriously injured. If something big happened, the old guy wouldn't have to tear down the guild hall?
Lin Li walked down the street with his head down, not thinking too much.
After all, he came from the Sunset Mountains. He had seen countless ferocious monsters of all kinds. Even if the undead were rampant in the Shadow Valley, it was not to the point where he would definitely die if he entered. Now he thinks even more.
More, but the crystal in his pocket.
This crystal is so mysterious...
There was no magic fluctuation at all, and even the dense array of magic patterns on the surface seemed to be just decoration. Lin Li could not feel any power from it at all.
But just such a piece of crystal without a trace of magic fluctuation swallowed a nightmare alive in front of Lin Li.
Lin Li was very sure that it was real devouring.
Before going to bed last night, Lin Li deliberately took out the crystal and looked at it. When he was on the Nightmare Mountains, he was indeed right. The aura coming out of the crystal was the same as that on the Nightmare. It was the same violent evil and full of pain.
And despair, the thick dark red in the crystal is like the eyes of a nightmare, as if thick blood is flowing.
When he held the crystal, he could even clearly feel that the nightmare was inside the crystal. This feeling was ethereal but yet so real.
So much so that Lin Li couldn't figure out why a crystal buried in a fine gold vein had such magical power.
This is no longer something that can be summed up by magic equipment. It swallowed an eighteenth-level monster in an instant. Even Lin Li himself may not be able to create such a terrifying thing without worrying about the materials.
While walking on the road, Lin Li quietly made up his mind. After arriving in Shadow Valley, he must find an opportunity to try this crystal. If he could fully master that power, nothing would be able to threaten him in the future.
, even the eighteenth-level monsters can be swallowed instantly, so why do you need magic and martial arts? In the future, if you encounter danger, just drop the crystal, no matter what dragon, titan, ancient monster, swallow them all!
With some doubts and some reveries, Lin Li didn't feel too hard on the way to Shadow Valley.
Shadow Valley is surrounded by barren mountains and wild ridges. Even the ferocious monsters are unwilling to approach this legendary paradise of the dead. The withered and yellow weeds form a patchwork, as if they have just been burned by fire. The sky is dark and dark.
It seems that the sun will never be seen and it will always be cloudy and rainy, which makes people feel a haze in their hearts. From time to time, the cold wind blows through, rolling up the withered yellow leaves, swirling in the air and falling, which is even more...
This valley of death adds a bit of desolation and chill.
The Valley of Shadows is no better than the Nightmare Mountains, and it took the four of them two hours to get there in a carriage.
When Lin Li got off the carriage, he couldn't help but froze, because he found that there were several large and small tents set up on the hillside outside Shadow Valley, and from time to time there were magicians in black robes in the tents.
Going in and out, judging from their expressions, most of them looked extremely busy. Some of them were people Lin Li knew, such as... Mathias's two companions.
"What's going on?"
Ma Sen looked at the tent on the hillside and smiled happily: "The Supreme Council must have seen that we are working too hard, so they decided to organize an outing to relax us. No wonder my uncle said that the content of today's task will be unimaginable.
…”
"Idiot." Ou Ling walked past Ma Sen and added a rare sentence: "Only you will go to Shadow Valley for an outing."
"You have a beautiful idea..." As soon as Medellin got off the carriage, he was amused by Ma Sen's words: "You still want to go on an outing? I'm afraid you won't be able to cry for a while..."
"Mr. Medellin, what is going on? Why are other teams..."
"No way, this is the intention of the Supreme Council." Medellin shook his head, looking somewhat helpless: "Today's mission, the content of all teams is the same. If there are any acquaintances, you can go and fight now.
Say hello, because in the next few days, you may have many, many opportunities to meet..."
"Why how many days?" Mason looked confused.
"Idiot!" Medellin glared at him and asked angrily: "Didn't you see those tents? Do you really think they are here for an outing?"
"..." Not to mention Ma Sen, even Lin Li couldn't help being startled: "Mr. Medellin, do you mean that we have to live in Shadow Valley for several days?"
"
"Congratulations, you guessed it right! But there is no reward..."
Hearing this made Lin Li's head spin. He didn't care whether he got a reward or not...
Before setting off, Lin Li had already guessed the content of this mission. When he thought about it, the so-called Shadow Valley trial was nothing more than entering the Shadow Valley and killing some undead creatures. To be honest, at the beginning, Lin Li
He didn't take it seriously at all. To him, undead creatures were not scary. There were at least two undead nemesis in the Ring of Endless Storm alone.
But when Medellin said it, he suddenly realized that this was not the case at all.
Living in Shadow Valley for a few days is not fun...
"To be honest, this mission is really a bit troublesome..." Even Medellin himself couldn't help but show a bit of worry on his face: "The content of the mission is nothing. The only thing you have to do is to go to the shadow."
You have stayed in the valley for seven days. During these seven days, you can do whatever you want. Even if you do nothing, you can just find a place to hide. But I estimate that there is no safe place for you in the Shadow Valley.
Hiding..."
Lin Li curled his lips and thought, aren't you talking nonsense? Undead creatures are not Warcraft. They don't have a regular schedule. They wander around anytime and anywhere, day or night. It's easy to hide, but if you can't hide, you will have to hide.
It's another matter. If you encounter some high-level undead creatures wandering around, the trouble will not be as big as usual.
Moreover, the Shadow Valley is filled with poisonous mist all year round. If you stay in the same place for a long time, you will easily suffer bad luck due to inhaling excessive amounts of poisonous mist.
"Damn it, these bastards from the Supreme Council, what kind of trial mission is this? They are simply buying people's lives!" The more Ma Sen thought about it, the more furious he became. He even forgot that the person standing next to him was Mr. Medellin.
But this time, Medellin rarely cursed, and just took out three scrolls from his pocket: "It's not that serious. For this trial mission, the Supreme Council has specially prepared this for you. These three scrolls
Keep it yourselves, and if you encounter any danger, open the scroll immediately, and it will teleport you to the camp in an instant."
"But..." Medellin thought for a while and reminded again: "If the scroll is opened, your mission will be considered a failure, so you'd better think carefully and don't give up this easily unless absolutely necessary.
Chance."
"oh……"
"By the way, by the way, I wasn't joking just now. If you have any acquaintances, go and say hello now. When you get to Shadow Valley, you might still be able to use them."
Apart from his two roommates, where did Lin Li have any friends in Olanna? Although Medellin's advice was good, it didn't make sense to him. Oling's situation was similar to his. His natural indifferent personality made him
It's hard to make friends.
On the other hand, this guy Ma Sen is a social butterfly. As soon as Medellin finished speaking, this guy showed a lewd smile on his face: "That's right... why didn't I think of that?"
"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said, and you can take care of the rest by yourself..." After explaining the trial rules, Medellin gave another warning and then left with peace of mind.
"Mason!" Not long after Medellin left, he heard someone saying hello to Mason from a distance. Lin Li had to secretly sigh in his heart, the social butterfly is indeed a social butterfly...
The person who greeted Ma Sen was a dark and thin young magician who looked to be about the same age as Ma Sen. The two teammates behind him were very interesting. One was tall and the other was short. Walking together was full of comedy.
"Haha, Keira, why is it you?" Probably because he met an acquaintance, Ma Sen seemed very happy. While saying hello excitedly, he introduced to his two roommates: "Come on, come on, I'll give you
Please introduce me, this guy is my childhood friend, from the Sunrise City Magic Guild, his name is Keira."
"By the way, Keira, these two are my roommates. One is named Ouling and the other is Fei Lei. You two know each other."
"Nice to meet you two."
The magician named Keira is obviously more stable than Ma Sen, and her speech and behavior appear to be very measured. After greeting the two, she introduced the two teammates behind her. The taller one is called Lauren, who comes from Bingxue.
City Guild, the short one is called Frederick, from Dawn City Guild.
Suddenly meeting his former friend, Ma Sen seemed very happy. He took Kayla and started chatting. The chat lasted for almost half an hour. It was not until the mission was about to begin that he interrupted the conversation with some regret.
When Keira left, the two of them repeatedly agreed that if the two teams encountered anything in Shadow Valley, they must support each other and try to stay together for seven days.
"Don't worry, as long as I, Ma Sen, are here, you, Kayla, will definitely be here!" Ma Sen patted his chest and vowed.
"Then this mission depends entirely on you."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"
After the two made an agreement and chatted for a few more words, Kayla left with her two teammates.
While they were chatting, Lin Li remained silent. He just looked up and down at the thin black magician named Keira with a curious look.
Even from Lin Li's point of view, this is a good young magician, at least level 11, only slightly weaker than Ou Ling, and his two teammates, one taller and one shorter, are also
None of them are weak, both of them are at the top ten level, much stronger than this guy Ma Sen...
If we can form an alliance with such a team, it will indeed be helpful to successfully complete the trial mission.
It's a pity... I think it's helpful, but the other person may not think so.
There was a hint of sarcasm in Lin Li's smile, this Keira was indeed quite interesting...
…………
"Boss, are you familiar with that Ma Sen?" As soon as Keira returned to the tent, the short magician named Luo Lin asked curiously.
"It's just acquaintance."
"Then what did you do to him..."
"Why are you so enthusiastic about him?" Keira smiled and looked at the entrance of the Shadow Valley in the distance: "Enthusiasm doesn't cost money. If you become friends with him now, you might be able to use it in the future.
This mission is not easy. Even if Gryffindor enters Shadow Valley, they may not be sure to stay for seven days, let alone us. If we encounter any danger, it is better to have someone to help than to be attacked from behind.
Good at stabbing."
"But that kid is too strong..." The short magician thought for a while, but still didn't quite understand: "I think he is only level nine at most, and his teammate named Fei Lei is actually a level seven magician.
How can such strength help in Shadow Valley?"
"What do you know..." Keira glared at him with a look of disdain: "In Shadow Valley, luck is much more important than strength. Don't think that your strength is something to be proud of. I'm telling you... Enter
In the Valley of Shadows, let alone a tenth-level magician like you, even if you are an eleventh or twelve-level magician, you dare not say that you will be able to stay for seven days. Besides... enthusiasm doesn't cost money anyway, and so will a few more scapegoats.
OK."
"But..." After teaching the short magician, Keira hesitated again: "But that guy named Fei Lei is indeed too weak to be honest. He dared to take part in the trial when he was only at level seven.
Shadow Valley will have to be teleported back, so we'd better not have too much hope for their team."
The three of them were talking in the tent when an old voice suddenly came from the camp.
"Now I announce that the mission has officially begun. I hope everyone can successfully complete the mission this time." The voice was not loud, but it was unusually clear in my ears.
"Let's go, let's go!"
When Kayla and the others came out of the tent, the three of them on Lin Li's side had already arrived at the entrance of Shadow Valley.
As soon as Lin Li approached the entrance of Shadow Valley, he smelled a strong putrid smell. It was the smell of a rotting corpse. It smelled thick and thick, as if it had solidified in the air. The valley was filled with black mist.
, looking from a distance, all I can see is darkness, and I can’t see what’s in front of me at all. The soil under my feet is a little slippery, and when I step on it, I can always hear a squeaking sound.
"This place is really disgusting..." Ma Sen stared at his feet, fearing that he might accidentally step on something he shouldn't step on.
"There is no way, the undead don't understand the ecological environment."
"By the way, Feyre, aren't you a pharmacist? Is there any potion that can prevent us from being discovered by undead creatures?" Mason always likes to have whimsical ideas. In fact, when he asked this question, he didn't even think about it.
hope.
Who knew that Lin Li actually nodded and said with certainty: "Of course..."
"Ah?" Mason was startled, and even Ou Ling couldn't help but stop.
"There is a natural disaster strike potion that is specially used to deal with undead creatures. As long as you drink one bottle, you will not only be able to avoid being discovered by the undead creatures, but you can also bring divine power to the attack. Every attack can cause a lot of damage to the undead creatures.
"
"There is such a good thing! Why don't you hurry up and get a few bottles... Our mission this time depends entirely on you."
"No problem..." Lin Li nodded and stretched out a hand: "Give me a holy flower, and I will get you a few bottles right away."
"Depend on!"
After Lin Li made this joke, the three of them finally felt less nervous. Following the rugged path at the entrance of the valley, they reached the middle of Shadow Valley without even realizing it.
This place has entered the sphere of influence of undead creatures, and the surrounding black fog is getting thicker and thicker. Lin Li seems to hear some faint sounds, which are like spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves. "
The rustling sound kept coming, especially in the midst of the whooshing cold wind.
"Be careful..." Lin Li tightened the Winter Staff in his hand and whispered to the two teammates beside him.
"Yeah." Just as Mason nodded, he suddenly exclaimed: "Ah!"
Lin Li looked back in horror, and saw several white skeletal hands tightly grasping Ma Sen's calf. As those skeletal hands tore hard, all he could see were streaks of blood on his calf.
Several pieces of the black mage robe on Sen's body were torn off in just a moment.
"Tsk!" Lin Li reacted very quickly. With one move of the Winter Staff in his hand, a wind blade shot out like lightning. With just a crisp sound, a bone arm was cut off in an instant, and under the control of Lin Li's mental power,
This wind blade carried a strong spin, and after cutting off a bone arm, it used the power of the spin to circle back in the air, and suddenly there was another crisp sound.
At the same time, Ou Ling also raised the staff in his hand, but his mental strength was far inferior to Lin Li's abnormality. Although he reacted quickly, the time to release magic was always a little slower, waiting for him to get an ice pick.
When it was shot, Lin Li's second wind blade had already been released. In an instant, there was only a "click" sound, and the four or five bone arms that tightly grasped Ma Sen's calf almost instantly turned into
A pile of broken bones.
"Damn, you scared me to death..." Ma Sen took the opportunity to break free from the restraints of his bone arm and hid aside to take a breath, with a slightly frightened look on his face.
"Don't be too busy resting. Let's get rid of them first."
"Them?" Mason was slightly stunned at first, but immediately he knew who "they" were.
Amidst Lin Li's rapid chanting of spells, the slippery ground beneath the three of them began to tremble slightly, and the black soil turned up piece by piece, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
