Bai Xiaowen and the others continued to move forward. While Ya Han was exploring the way ahead, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi quietly opened the treasure box that Leona had dropped.
Leona's kill rating is A, and she has three draws without byes.
"You have obtained a special item: The Legend of the Abyss (book)."
"You have obtained advanced psychic crystal*7."
"You got the equipment enhancement card: four stars."
After three draws, no golden equipment was drawn, but Bai Xiaowen was not disappointed. At least, the four-star equipment enhancement cards and advanced psychic crystals can be used to strengthen equipment, which are the good things used by Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi.
No loss.
As for the book "Legend of the Abyss", Bai Xiaowen took a look at it.
"What is written in the book?" Li Shuyi asked in the team channel.
Bai Xiaowen said: "This book is about the latent shadow labyrinth that exists in the twilight abyss. It uses a lot of space to write about the dangers and opportunities in the latent shadow labyrinth. In the blank part of the book, there is also Leona as a human being.
Notes written at the time.”
Bai Xiaowen turned to the back and said: "Leona was originally a nun of the Church of Light. For some reason, she abandoned her original faith and began to pursue the power of the abyss. The notes above record her pursuit of the power of the abyss.
Well, finally there is information about Amotawa and the mysterious will... I understand why the extraction priority of this special item is so high. It turns out that it is this way to give us some information for reference.
"
Li Shuyi listened attentively: "What information do you have?"
"Amotawa is a legendary creature in the Kuroshio plane world. It is said to have nine heads, with a body as huge as a mountain, and its head towering into the clouds, level with the stars..." Bai Xiaowen shook his head and laughed, "This is of course an exaggeration.
, but there is no doubt that Amotava is very strong.”
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued: "When Amotava was causing trouble to the world, an organization called the Destiny Sect was born. Under the guidance of the prophecy slate, the warriors of the Destiny Sect found Amotava's weakness.
Kill him and seal his corpse in the latent shadow labyrinth under the abyss, and then the warriors each hold a part of the relics peeled off from Amotawa's body, and bring them back to the Kuroshio continent as proof of glory."
"These relics are the so-called 'Dragon Eyes', 'Dragon Teeth', 'Dragon Heart' and 'Dragon Scales'. Later, these relics were lost and no one mentioned them again, so there is no need for them.
Say more."
"Let's talk about the Destiny Sect first. After killing Amotawa, this sect had major differences. The prophet holding the prophecy slate was brutally killed. The prophet's disciples followed the teacher's orders and came to the latent shadow maze with the prophecy slate.
, sealed the stone slab and the remains of Amotava together to eliminate the source of the trouble."
Li Shuyi said: "Now, is Amotawa going to be resurrected?"
"It can't be considered a resurrection," Bai Xiaowen turned to the last few pages of the book. "According to Leona's records, the 'Lord' in her mouth, which is the mysterious prompt sound of the Transcendent game, is a more powerful existence than Amotava.
, just borrowed the remains of Amotava as a carrier to dominate the Kuroshio Continent... Therefore, the wreckage of Amotava should be regarded as some kind of container. I understand now that the other party needs to complete the remains of Amotawa,
The purpose is to make the container as complete as possible so that it can carry his power."
"So, if the opponent only has the Dragon Eye in your hand and the Dragon Scale in Yahan's hand, it can 100% complete the remains?" Li Shuyi asked.
"That's right, the completeness of his transformation is now 80%. This is the result I saw with my insight," Bai Xiaowen said, "I also doubt that the mysterious existence should be an awakened outsider who knows about you and me.
Identity, there is storage space. Unless I voluntarily hand over the 'Eye of Amotawa', he will not get it even if he kills me."
Li Shuyi had a sudden feeling: "That's why he went to such great lengths to come up with some kind of extraordinary game, just to trick you into falling for the trick and sending your eyeballs over to him."
Bai Xiaowen nodded, and then said with some emotion: "Actually, if the other party uses reasonable means to trade normally, I can't give him my eyeballs, as long as he can come up with something that satisfies me... Kuroshio Continent is not the earth, I
Even if it causes a huge flood, you can just pat your butt and walk away."
Li Shuyi can understand Bai Xiaowen's mentality. Awakened people are basically profit-seeking in the spiritual world. As long as they can get enough benefits, it is not a problem even if they are enemies of the entire plane world.
"But, the other party can't offer anything good in exchange for me." Bai Xiaowen concluded.
"When I pretended to pray before, I got a reminder of 'Abyss Infusion', which can increase our strength. Not only can the level be increased by 1 level, but the template can also be upgraded." Li Shuyi said, "If I can get this kind of benefit,
Then you’ll earn it.”
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "You are thinking too much... Well, this kind of strengthening is indeed possible, but the price is hard to say. You have to accept the other party's transformation. If I guessed correctly, the prerequisite for accepting this transformation must be
We must actively dedicate our whole body and mind to the other party and become the most loyal slave of the other party... If we really do this, we may never be able to return to the earth, and we can only live as a special person in the spiritual world."
Bai Xiaowen thought about the world of the King of Fighters, and the transformation technology of the Sound Nest organization, which is to tamper with the target's memory while transforming, and implant an order that is absolutely loyal to the Sound Nest. He has always been wary of the so-called transformation.
Suddenly, Yahan in front stopped.
"There's another fork in the road. Come on, prophet, guide us in the direction we're going." Yahan said the second line with a smile, which was a bit humorous.
Bai Xiaowen stepped forward.
This is a three-way intersection. In front of each fork, there is a statue sitting cross-legged. The statue has a human face and an animal body, and it looks inexplicably familiar.
"This is... a Sphinx? A Sphinx?" Bai Xiaowen came back to his senses, "Shouldn't they be able to talk?"
The riddle of the Sphinx is a story that even children on Earth know. However, the three sphinxes in front of us are obviously not something that can be passed away by just guessing a riddle.
The Eye of Amotawa emits green light, and a prompt text on the dome is revealed:
Three guardians before you
Keeper of the Path of Truth
Uphold the truth and always be consistent
Guardian of the Road to Rap
Sometimes true and sometimes false, it’s hard to tell
Guardian of the Path of Death
Abandon the truth and tell lies
O misguided traveler
You can tap the guardian's ear
Ask them where the truth lies
But every guardian’s patience is limited
I will only answer you one question
See through the illusion and get to the essence
Make the most important choice of your life
Hope it's not the last choice
This prompt text is relatively long. After Bai Xiaowen read it twice carefully, he said: "It's another reasoning question. I found that the builder of the latent shadow maze really likes to do this. We solved several similar problems along the way.
.”
"What does this passage mean?" Yahan asked.
"These three sphinxes are the guardians mentioned in the prompt text. The three roads behind them are called the road of truth, the road of rap and the road of death. Literally understood, the road of death should be
It leads to death, and the road of rap should be the kind of winding road that never ends. We must take the road of truth."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "The following words are the key point. The guardian of the road of truth will never tell lies. The guardian of the road of rap may be true or false. And death
The guardians of the road, exactly the opposite of the road of truth, will never tell the truth. Each guardian will answer a question. We have to think about how to ask it, get the corresponding logical information, and deduce the correctness of the road of truth.
Location."
Li Shuyi said: "There are three of us, plus Kits, there are four... If everyone can get answers from the three guardians, can we ask a total of twelve questions?"
"You are thinking too much... We are a group and we only have three questions in total. We will not give you more opportunities. In addition, the questions we ask are probably also limited. There are multiple questions in one sentence, or one question
It is invalid to ask for multiple pieces of information in the sentence, otherwise the fork in the road would be too simple."
In order to verify his guess, Bai Xiaowen tapped the ear of the first Sphinx and asked: "Where do these three roads lead to? Which one is the road of truth, which one is the road of rap, and which one is death?"
road?"
The Sphinx showed no reaction, and the suspicion was confirmed.
Bai Xiaowen tapped his fingers lightly and thought for a while.
Li Shuyi and Yahan automatically entered salted fish mode and looked at Bai Xiaowen.
"There is no way to get to the truth with 100% certainty. I can only give it a try."
Bai Xiaowen stood up, walked to the Sphinx on the first road, and tapped the other person's ear: "What road is behind you?"
The stones of the Sphinx trembled, and as the mouth opened and closed, a slightly older voice sounded:
"The sweat and tears of fools have soaked this road, and all they get is meaningless repetition."
Bai Xiaowen looked sideways at Li Shuyi: "The guardian of the first road claims to be the road of rap, so it cannot be the guardian of the road of truth. The reason is very simple. If it is the guardian of the road of truth, it must be the guardian of the road of truth."
Won't lie."
Li Shuyi nodded confusedly. She and Yahan had switched from salted fish mode to 666 mode.
Bai Xiaowen came to the Sphinx on the second road, tapped his ears and asked: "What is the first road?"
The Sphinx answered:
"The blood and broken bones of the dead paved that road, and they paid with their lives for their recklessness."
Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes, walked quickly to the Sphinx on the third road, tapped his ears and finally asked: "What is the first road?"
The Sphinx answered:
"The flowers of truth weave a garland of wisdom along the road, and by following that road you can reach the other side where destiny guides you."
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief: "It's easier to tell the difference now."
Li Shuyi nodded and said: "Since the guardian of the third path said that the first path is the path of truth, it means that it lied, which also means that the third path is not the path of truth... Then the path of truth is the path of truth.
Two."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "Yes, according to the answer of the guardian of the Road of Truth, we can also know that the first is the road of death, then the third is the road of rap. Let's go, I feel that we are getting closer and closer to our destination.
It’s close.”
Along the second road, the three of them moved forward.
It has to be said that the interior of the latent shadow maze is astonishingly large. The three of them clearly chose the right path of truth, but they still walked for a long time. They also encountered new deep-sea snake-man interceptors on the way, but the leader-level snake-man interceptors
did not appear again.
Bai Xiaowen was also silently calculating the time while walking. This aspect is very simple and does not require any mental effort. He only needs to temporarily take a look at the cooling status of the suppression of the ultimate move of Raging Claw. The cooling time of suppression is as long as 8 hours.
Both Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi really felt the difficulty of the Black Tide Plane World. He and Li Shuyi had both surrendered their ultimate moves. If they encounter the three snake-men leaders again before the cooldown time improves, I'm afraid it won't be the same as before.
It's so easy to deal with in the hub hall.
You must know that among the remaining three snake-men leaders, there is also a level 9 boss, Gerald.
In addition, those human leader-level and elite-level strongmen who have been bewitched by the mysterious will may also be being transformed at this moment. If they are transformed into snake people and receive a group of reinforcements, the situation of Bai Xiaowen and the others will be even worse.
Finally, there is the big boss, the mysterious will that resides in the wreckage of Amotawa. If it (gender/race is unknown, let’s use this word for now) regardless of everything, and forcibly descends using 80% of the current containers as a carrier, it will definitely change.
Becomes a huge hassle.
The only good news is that before the mysterious will determines that there is no hope of completing the wreckage, it should not come so decisively.
I walked forward for several hours, passing several hub halls and killing several waves of deep-sea snake monsters, but the same logical problem at the fork in the road never appeared again.
After passing a section of the downward corridor, Bai Xiaowen suddenly raised his head and whispered: "There is another hall ahead... It is much larger than the hub hall we passed through, and in it, I scanned the auras of some powerful people. Moreover,
, I can feel that the other party also has similar mental power detection, and we have been discovered."
"Do you want to wait a moment? Although the cooldown time of the Demonic Fire Jade Pendant has long since ended, the skills attached to my golden weapon have not been improved yet." Li Shuyi said in a low voice.
Bai Xiaowen is also facing a similar situation. The howling skill of Raging Claw has been restored, but there is still about 2 hours of cooldown time for the ultimate suppression. The condition at this time is not perfect.
