After leaving the auction house, Miao Anyun separated from Laurie. Because he had already carefully recorded where he was going next, he was too embarrassed to bother Laurie again. This friend from the Celestial Clan has helped him enough today.
First, I took out some food and medicine from my bag to replenish my physical and energy bars, which were almost bottomed out after running around all day. If it is not supplemented, it will not be able to support him to move or do anything.
Then Miao Anyun ran towards where the village chief was. Although he got a considerable amount of materials from the auction house, which made him feel a little more relaxed, he still couldn't relax too much.
"'Light is Ever Silent', you're here!" Village Chief Tuttle, who seemed to have the same kind smile as when he first met many years ago, greeted Miao Anyun, as if he already knew that Miao Anyun would come to see him.
"Village chief." Miao Anyun saluted respectfully.
Due to a series of main missions with rich rewards, Miao Anyun's level has improved rapidly, showing a leap in growth, and has now reached level ninety. However, this rapid level improvement did not throw away the players on the level list. They seemed to have received some high-reward tasks, and their levels increased equally quickly. Therefore, no one was surprised by Miao Anyun's upgrade speed.
He was previously able to see Ankara's level due to the level reached. But he found that he still couldn't clearly see the rank of the village chief. Then the village chief's level is at least level ninety-five.
Miao Anyun only felt that the Novice Village he was in was becoming more and more mysterious... The resources of high-level casting masters, pharmacy masters, and even auction houses were quite huge. Miao Anyun didn't think that ordinary auction houses could take out the items on his list so easily.
"You're here to ask for [High-grade Sky Spring Water] from me, right?" Tuttle put his hands behind his back and glanced over with a smile as if he was seeing everything.
"Yes." Miao Anyun nodded, "Can the village chief give me three bottles?"
"[High-grade sky spring water] is my treasured potion. Since the precious materials used to make it have been exhausted, I only have a few bottles there. Under normal circumstances, I will not give it to others easily." Tuttle said As he said this, the implication was rejection.
However, there is not really no room for change in this matter. Tuttle paused deliberately and then said: "However, if you can pass the test I give you, then I will give you three bottles of [Advanced Sky Spring Water] potion It’s not impossible. So young people, please make a choice!”
[Ding! System prompt: Dear player, NPC Tuttle has issued a task [Village Chief's Test] to you. Do you accept or reject it?]
[Side mission: Village Chief’s Test: The test set by Village Chief Tuttle, maybe there will be a surprise if you pass it?]
"I accept." Miao Anyun said firmly.
"Very good..." Tuttle seemed to smile with some relief, "Then please come on."
The next moment, the scene in front of Miao Anyun changed.
0237 popped up a very considerate prompt: [Ding, congratulations to the player for entering the special copy [Trial Gate], please kill the monsters and try your best to complete the trial!]
The place where Miao Anyun was located was a place similar to a gladiatorial arena, and there was no one around except him. It seems that the player has been detected. White lights flashed in front of his eyes, and then a large number of wild boar-like monsters appeared in front of him.
A cold, mechanical, emotionless voice came from the sky: [Beep! The player 'Light is Eternal' has been detected and the first level of the trial door has been opened. Kill 1,000 monsters on this level to enter the next level...]
As the voice fell, the red-eyed monster seemed to be unchained, roaring and running towards Miao Anyun standing in the center of the field. The densely packed figures make one's scalp feel numb.
Through that system tone, Miao Anyun already had a general understanding of the rules here. As long as you kill enough monsters, you can advance to the next level, right? Thinking like this, Miao Anyun took out the golden book belonging to the priest and chanted a spell.
The monster approached quickly, but it could not affect Miao Anyun at all. He chanted the spell quickly. As the long and complicated incantation was finished, the golden light on the book shone brightly, and a transparent golden light shield enveloped him inside. Afterwards, Miao Anyun chanted an offensive spell slowly.
At this moment, those monsters were already in front of Miao Anyun, and were about to hit him. The transparent light mask that looked extremely fragile actually showed surprisingly strong defense, performing its duties conscientiously and blocking all attacks from the outside. No matter how the monsters attacked, it showed no intention of breaking into pieces.
Of course, this has something to do with the lack of attack strength of the monsters on the first level of the Trial Gate.
Miao Anyun stood in the turtle shell he released and read the message peacefully, without any need to worry about his own safety. Soon, Miao Anyun's singing ended. A thundercloud suddenly appeared above the monsters. The thundercloud squirmed, and a large piece of golden thunder fell from it, slamming into the pile of monsters. Many monsters were killed immediately, turning into his experience value.
After repeated blows several times, the thunderclouds hovering above the monsters seemed to slowly and contentedly dissipate.
Miao Anyun watched the progress bar in the upper left corner of his field of vision change from 0/1000 to 131/1000. In other words, this attack killed 131 monsters.
When Lei Yun killed the monster, Miao Anyun was not idle. He strengthened his protective shield and added several BUFFs to himself, and then continued to stand and read.
Standing mages are very violent. This is a common knowledge among gamers.
Although Miao Anyun's profession is a priest rather than a mage, he follows the path of a violent priest, so his attack power is not much weaker than that of an ordinary mage. Therefore, this statement also applies to him.
Miao Anyun stood still and dealt without any pressure. Soon, he had killed 1,000 monsters. At this time, all the remaining monsters disappeared.
The cold mechanical electronic sound sounded again: [Beep! It has been detected that the player 'Bright Silence' has killed 1,000 monsters and will be automatically promoted to the second level. The second level of the Trial Gate will open in five seconds. Kill 100 monsters on this level to enter the next level.]
[five four three two one…]
Five seconds later, a group of large bird-shaped monsters with electric arcs on their bodies appeared in front of Miao Anyun. It can be seen that the number of monsters this time is much less than the number on the previous level. But that doesn't mean the trial has become easier.
On the contrary, the difficulty has increased.
Although the number of monsters has decreased, the quality has increased a lot. One of these monsters now can compare with several previous monsters.
But despite this, it still does not pose much of a threat to Miao Anyun. Miao Anyun used the same method, and after fighting for a while, he successfully achieved his goal and advanced to the next level.
…
five days later
Miao Anyun has arrived at the last level of the Trial Gate, which is the twelfth level. Only one monster appears here. It took a full five days to reach the bottom floor. Although there were reasons for being offline during this period, it was enough to illustrate the difficulty of the trial gate.
The bottom class deserves to be the bottom class. Just such a monster made Miao Anyun miserable.
After a long battle, Miao Anyun won with remaining health. At this moment, both his blue medicine and red medicine are on CD, and his ultimate move is also on CD. If the monster had been able to hold on for a little longer, Miao Anyun really couldn't tell what the outcome would be.
During the period of fighting with monsters, Miao Anyun had to superimpose various BUFFs to prevent himself from being seriously injured by the monster's excessive attack power. He recovered his own blood while attacking the monster, using this kind of attrition battle to deplete the monster's blood. strip. Because the mana consumption was too high, Miao Anyun had to constantly calculate the mana lost to avoid a tragedy caused by a blue sky.
Although the process is quite difficult to describe, in general, he still achieved victory.
After completing the trial, Miao Anyun was automatically teleported out. Speaking of which, the setting of this trial gate is somewhat like the twelve trials of an ancient Greek hero.
As soon as his eyes flashed, he saw the village chief Tuttle turning his head and smiling back at him.
"You came out, I really saw the right person."
"Village Chief, have I completed my mission?" Miao Anyun asked.
"Of course, my child." The village chief nodded lovingly, "This is the reward you deserve."
With a tinkling sound in his ears, Miao Anyun received the reward. In addition to the three bottles of mission material potions and rich experience points, Miao Anyun also got something quite powerful.
[Heart of Light (Bound): A bright stone ring blessed by the God of Light... Effect: Intelligence +180, Singing -50%... Level requirements: None (Growth type) Career requirements: None]
The orange quality ring is the first artifact that Miao Anyun got. In addition to the pretty good attribute bonuses, this ring also comes with a pretty useful skill.
Putting on the ring directly, Miao Anyun said goodbye to the village chief and rushed towards the promised dream lake.
Due to the delay in this task, Miao Anyun had no time to pick up the remaining small amount of materials. Now he can only give up those materials temporarily, because the agreed time is already very close.
Quickly running towards the outside of the village, Miao Anyun spread the wings behind her slightly and jumped into the air lightly with her body.
…
Entrance to Dreamland Lake
Except for Miao Anyun, everyone else has basically arrived. Now they stood at the entrance, waiting for the last person to arrive. Each one's level has improved a bit, and their expressions are calm. They have probably collected a considerable amount of materials.
"Sorry, something delayed me. I'm late." Miao Anyun fell from the sky, folded his wings, and looked at his friends apologetically.
Several people shook their heads, obviously not paying too much attention to this.
"Now that everyone is here, let's count the collection of materials." The steady Lu Jiamu said, and he took out the materials he collected from the system backpack.
Several people nodded and took out the materials they collected. Miao Anyun made some arrangements and was relieved to find that they had gathered together the materials needed for the task.
"Let's go." The burden in his heart finally fell, and Miao Anyun felt a lot more relaxed. He smiled at his friends and said.
"Yes." Everyone nodded and entered the Dream Lake together.
Soon, the figures of several people were buried in the thick fog.
The journey went smoothly to the depths where Partridge was. Miao Anyun saw Partridge waiting there early, and he waved to Partridge.
"You..." Partridge paused, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then asked, "Have you found all the materials?"
"Of course." Miao Anyun placed all the materials in front of Partridge.
"Great! Now there's no problem!" There was joy on Partridge's young face. Over the years, it was not just Miao Anyun and the others that he had entrusted to him, but everyone before that had unfortunately failed.
Immediately afterwards, he began to set up a magic circle to teleport to the Dragon Clan's territory.
Partridge set up the formation very quickly, and his technique was as skillful as if he had practiced it countless times before. Under his hands without any trembling, the teleportation array began to form bit by bit.
This process was not too long, so everyone waited patiently.
"Okay." When Partridge finished the last stroke, he sat down on the ground as if he had lost all strength. His face was a little pale, as if his strength had been greatly overdrawn, and even his body had become a little transparent, but there was a bright smile on his face.
Partridge made a gesture, and the complex-patterned teleportation array was activated bit by bit. Every few moments, a ray of light flashes out of it. Bright light spread across the teleportation array at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, except for the core, other places became bright.
Partridge suddenly frowned and looked at a certain place in the teleportation array, his face turning pale bit by bit.
"Oops!"
Everyone looked at him in confusion, but he just looked at the teleportation array, motionless. So everyone also turned their attention to the teleportation array.
When the light spread to the core position, it suddenly stopped. In the center of the teleportation array, there is a silver scale with cracks. Under the gaze of everyone, the cracks on its body spread to the entire scales, and they suddenly burst apart. In Partridge's frightened eyes, it turned into powder and was blown away by the wind.
Seeing the scales crack, Partridge's face turned even paler now, and despair spread in his eyes. This was his last chance... and now it seemed like he was going to fail. Is he destined not to go back? Can't you take another look at that beloved land
He desperately squeezed out a voice from his throat, hoarse and almost moaning: "That is the core of the teleportation array, an item with the aura of the dragon. Once damaged, the teleportation array will soon fall apart. The construction of the teleportation array must fail. Already…”
Is it going to fall short like this? Everyone looked at the teleportation array rather reluctantly. The white light continues to flow towards the core, but it has been unable to pass through, forming a complete loop. The increasingly intense white light wants to force its way through, but the position of the medium at the core has been vacated, making it impossible for it to successfully connect to the magic circle at the other end.
Depending on the situation, the teleportation array will collapse due to energy disorder in a short time. But everyone could only watch this scene happening and were helpless.
"Partridge, is there anything else that can replace the broken core as a medium?" Miao Anyun could not do anything.
"No..." Partridge's voice was weak, "I didn't expect it to be damaged. This is my old dragon scale. Only this piece is left, so there is nothing that can replace it..." If not, he would replace it directly. If only the media were fine, they wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Is it an item with the aura of the dragon?" Miao Anyun rummaged through his system backpack, hoping to find a replacement. When he glanced at a certain place, his gaze suddenly stopped, and a smile emerged from his eyes.
Partridge nodded weakly. It's not that he hasn't thought about finding a medium again, but in such a short period of time, where is he going to find items with a dragon flavor? You know, since that incident, the Dragon Clan has been closed off. There are almost no dragons who will go to other tribes' territories, and if you want to find the one or two exceptions, you will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Can this be used?" Miao Anyun took out a dusty scale from his backpack, which he got when he completed Laurie's mission in Novice Village a long time ago. Since the specific use and properties could not be determined, Miao Anyun threw it into a corner and put it aside, and then forgot about it.
If it hadn't been for giving Laurie all the materials that were of little use this time, and the backpack had been mostly emptied, Miao Anyun might not have been able to find this thing. When he looked at the scales placed in the core before, he felt that they looked familiar.
"..." Partridge looked at the scales, his eyes suddenly widened, and he snatched the scales away. After taking a closer look, he exclaimed almost incoherently: "Oh, great! This is so great!"
All of a sudden, things took a turn for the worse, and the feeling of being pulled back from despair to heaven made him so excited that he was speechless.
Facing Miao Anyun's questioning gaze, Partridge nodded fiercely and smiled happily: "Although I don't know where you got the dragon scales from, now the teleportation array is saved!" He hurriedly put the scales away. Enter the core of the teleportation array.
This time, the energy of the teleportation array was finally able to pass through smoothly. Almost at the same time, the teleportation array glowed with dazzling light and started to move rapidly, wrapping several people inside.
The light dissipated, and what appeared in front of Miao Anyun and the others was a huge valley where giant dragons flew over from time to time—Dragon Valley!
