When a certain number of keys are gathered, the keys will resonate and give guidance, but Yi Zuo is not sure how many keys are needed. He suggests to Yang Yu that every time he collects a key, he should put all the keys together randomly.
It seems that a certain number of keys must be collected and put together to unlock the hidden mission.
After all, it is the key left by the brave man, so the reward for the hidden mission should not be bad.
Don’t worry about how many keys you need. You can take your time. Anyway, you are a weak person and can’t pass the hero’s underground maze every time.
After asking some important questions, Yang Yu asked some trivial details.
Yang Yu also knew a lot about the demon king in the past.
Since we can't confirm whether the previous Demon King was completely dealt with or sealed, it wouldn't hurt to have more intelligence.
Just as Yang Yu wanted to ask something about the last four kings, Yi Zuo suddenly closed his eyes, opened and closed his mouth, and said:
[Someone has passed the final test.]
"What trial? Are there others taking the test besides us?"
Yang Yu suddenly remembered that the Broodmother Spider had said that other adventurers had entered this underground maze before them. Although from the Broodmother Spider's tone, they were all caught, the adventurers who could not be eaten would definitely be tied up in the web as food storage.
If there was someone who secretly cut the thread with a knife and arrived here like them.
Just when Yang Yu was thinking about something, Yi Zuo said a name that surprised Yang Yu.
[It is a man named Qingshi, and he has passed the test. ]
Yang Yu looked at the chess pieces on the board. Qingshi, the soldier, was steadily approaching the corner of the board and was about to be upgraded.
If Qingshi is not here, there is only one explanation for this situation.
"So that's what happened. What I saw were all illusions. You were stalling on purpose. To be honest, you don't want me to win. You're really a man who can't stand losing."
[I'm not someone who can't afford to lose.] Yi Zuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, [In the beginning, you were the one who asked the question first.]
"Don't give me such excuses. It's just that you play chess too slowly. If you think faster, I promise that I can finish the game within three minutes."
Yi Zuo's face was full of helplessness. When he was young, he was the only chess player in the country. In order to find an opponent of equal chess ability, he even issued a reward in the country. But now, he was disliked by others for playing chess too slowly.
[Don't keep looking at me with an expression that says 'this guy definitely doesn't want to give me the real treasure'. In fact, when you made that move, I had already seen where the situation was headed. I was doomed to lose.
I have to admit that your chess skills are indeed better than mine.
But rules are rules, and I will give the key to the first person who passes the test.]
"Are you kidding me? After all this talk, you still don't intend to give me the key."
[I can't give you the key, but I will give you the reward for clearing the level. First, let's go to the seventh floor, and I will also call back your other companions. ]
Yi Zuo waved his hand, and everything around him became illusory and turned into hazy white clouds. A red teleportation magic circle appeared under Yang Yu's feet.
Not only that, this red teleportation magic circle also appeared under the feet of other people one after another.
During Bai Jin's trial, Bai Jin and Yang Yu hid behind a bunker, and the severely injured guardian Yi Zuo was slowly moving towards the bunker.
The rest of the team were seriously injured and on the verge of death, and they were the only two who were able to move.
They only need one strike to knock down the guardian, but the problem is that the seriously injured Yang Yu and Bai Jin are unable to launch normal attacks, so someone has to act as bait.
And the person who serves as bait will definitely be killed by the guardian's attack.
Yang Yu has made his decision. He will rush out to provide cover and let Bai Jin deliver the final blow.
Bai Jin had different ideas. At this time, she should make the sacrifice. She had made up her mind to disobey Yang Yu's orders at all costs and rush out as soon as the order was given.
However, before that, she still had something very important to say to Yang Yu, something that she would definitely regret for the rest of her life if she didn't say it.
But Bai Jin just couldn't muster up the courage and didn't know how to accurately express the feelings in her heart. Before she could make up her mind, the cruel battlefield disappeared in an instant.
In Iyas and Hak's world, Yang Yu was imprisoned in a cage and secretly tarnished the queen's reputation. Only by drowning him in a pig cage could the public anger be appeased.
In order to prevent Yang Yu from being thrown into the pig cage, Iyas and Hake ran around everywhere, but they couldn't find a way to save Yang Yu. As a last resort, they could only kneel down to the Elf Queen and beg her to spare Yang Yu. However, the Queen insisted on her own opinion, and she argued and loudly scolded Iyas and Hake.
Just as Iyas was about to plead again, the scolding stopped abruptly.
Lotkar looked up at the azure sky. Beside him, another silver wolf knelt on the ground covered in blood, mocking his ignorance and naivety. But Lotkar turned a deaf ear to it and just waited for the azure sky to turn into pure white clouds.
And, Qingshi, a seemingly honest young man, stood in the middle of the desert, stretched out his hand and slowly caught the red key that was falling slowly from the sky.
When Qingshi saw the note Yang Yu left for him, he hesitated.
Qingshi could see that this place was located in the center of a dangerous desert. Allowing Yang Yu and the others to wander around would only put them in danger and be buried by the yellow sand.
But Qingshi was reluctant to take a step forward. He had never entered the dangerous center of the desert alone. His activities were always around the edge of the Gobi desert.
In fact, Qingshi already possessed all the knowledge needed to be a desert guide and knew how to act with caution.
But he always believed that he had to be as good as his father in order to lead people through the desert.
Faced with the yellow sand, Qingshi hesitated countless times, but every time he thought of Yang Yu and the others fighting bravely, the trembling of his body stopped a little.
"Compared to what they did, I am a coward now, and what I did is just a small thing. But this is the path I have chosen."
Qingshi took a deep breath and smiled with relief.
"Didn't I tell you that the desert is dangerous? You just won't listen to my advice. I have to find them all and talk to them."
Overcoming the fear in his heart, Qingshi moved cautiously in the desert, overcame numerous dangers, and finally found everyone.
After receiving the key, everything around Qingshi became illusory, and finally his sight flashed and he came to a space full of stars.
Here, Qingshi saw Iyas, Bai Jin and Lothkar. Like Qingshi, they looked around confused about the situation.
Only Yang Yu chatted with the young man sitting on the throne as if nothing had happened, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.
