Chapter 417 White Horse!
Driftwood.
Or rather, a raft.
As soon as Shen Ye entered the ancient ruins, he landed on the sea.
There was only a small raft rising and falling with the waves.
It just so happened that the person supporting the raft was an acquaintance.
"Is it you?"
The two of them shouted together.
Opposite him was a man holding a pipe in his mouth, wearing a gray leather armor, with two daggers tied around his waist, and he looked alert.
——The frontline leader of the Brotherhood of Shadows!
"Brother Page, is it really you?"
the person in charge asked.
Shen Ye made a secret gesture of "I love you" without hesitation and said in a deep voice:
"It's really me - why are you here?"
The person in charge couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the brotherhood gesture.
"Whenever ancient ruins appear, the existence of our nightmare world will be forcibly absorbed into the ruins. As a neutral party, we will provide various supports for team battles."
He pointed to the wooden oar in his hand and continued: "I have to be a good ferryman here so that I can get a little reward and then return to the nightmare world."
"Have you always been the ferryman?" Shen Ye asked.
"No, in the last team battle, I was a grocer, responsible for selling all kinds of information and sundries in safe areas outside the battlefield." The person in charge of the Brotherhood said.
Many memories flashed through Shen Ye's mind.
——I remembered something again.
The nightmare world is now a world that no one can enter.
Apart from this, none of the things he had done in the nightmare world had changed.
"Does everyone have to do something here?"
Shen Ye asked.
"That's not true. According to the opening of the ruins, there will be a draw." The person in charge said.
Shen Ye nodded.
Unexpectedly——
The beings in this world were turned into a neutral force by the ancient ruins.
"Are you going to that island? I'll take you there and then you can get off work."
said the fraternity leader.
"Okay, please send me there." Shen Ye said.
The raft moved again.
Soon.
The island ahead can basically be seen clearly.
The raft washed up on the beach.
"Just here." The person in charge of the Brotherhood said.
"Okay." Shen Ye prepared to disembark.
"Wait a moment--"
The leader of the brotherhood took a revolver from his waist and handed it to Shen Ye.
"The last person to enter will get this technological creation."
"Thank you." Shen Ye took the pistol.
This is a gleaming silver revolver. The base of the gun is pure black and has six cylinders.
A glimmer of light emerged in small letters:
"The Proclaimer."
"Blue equipment, individually customized."
"Description: Knock back the enemy, making it unable to attack for one second."
“Six rounds of specialized ammunition are available per day.”
"——The glory of the meritorious."
Shen Ye gradually came back to his senses.
"Is this gun from the nightmare world?" he asked.
"No, this is a request that was suddenly issued just now. I must give it to the last person to join." The person in charge said.
"Who posted it?" Shen Ye asked.
"I don't know." The person in charge said.
Shen Ye nodded.
——It seems that it was given to me by the multi-layered universe.
"One last tip:"
"In the prehistoric ruins, strength will not be suppressed, and the strength of the legal world will be fully displayed."
"Okay, I understand. Goodbye." Shen Ye said.
"Goodbye."
The raft gradually disappeared.
Shen Ye stood on the beach, first put away the pistol, and then looked at the dense jungle.
wrong.
Something seemed to be shining beneath my feet.
Shen Ye lowered his head and saw that it was a drifting bottle.
Picking up the bottle and opening the cork, he saw an old note lying inside.
When he unfolded it, he saw scrawled small words written on it:
"The power of the era has finally unfolded."
"Our victory will be duly rewarded."
"The person who made this happen—"
"You naturally know all the information about the ruins."
Shen Ye finished reading it quickly.
intelligence?
Naturally aware?
interesting.
The multi-layered universe is very generous!
As he was thinking about it, suddenly a gust of sea breeze blew by, and the old note broke into countless pieces and drifted with the wind.
There was a "pop" sound.
A book fell down and landed in his hand.
I saw two big words written on the cover of the book:
"intelligence."
Great, let’s get straight to the point.
Opening the cover, I saw on the first page:
"This book is the result of your three arts. It can be connected with the ultimate power of the fifth era - 'Prehistoric', and you can know all the information in it."
"Current location: Sea Serpent Island ruins."
"The distribution map of monsters and treasure burial locations are as follows:"
"Please turn the page."
Shen Ye turned to the second page.
The second page was blurry and nothing could be seen clearly, except for a line of small words:
"Paid chapter."
Damn it!
Shen Ye wanted to throw the book on the ground.
Isn't this the result of my three skills?
Why still charge?
Perhaps he knew what he was thinking, but two more lines of small words appeared:
“Contact ‘Prehistoric’ to obtain information. Precious metals and various treasures are needed to open the teleportation array.”
"——That makes sense."
That’s reasonable, your sister!
Use my wisdom against me, right?
Shen Ye was a little unhappy and was about to say something else when he heard a deafening roar coming from the depths of the island.
The sound wave caused by the cry turned into a strong wind, swept around and dispersed in all directions.
So strong!
No, we can’t talk anymore, we must find out the situation immediately!
Shen Ye directly put a pile of gold on the book.
The gold disappears.
A line of small words quickly appeared on the book:
"Thank you for the genuine subscription. Every support you have will promote original creation——"
"Hurry up! The situation is not good!" Shen Ye interrupted.
——I heard a faint scream just now.
On the page, new small words quickly appeared:
"Notice!"
"There are three beings from other ultimate creations lurking on the island."
"The purpose of this appearance of prehistoric ruins is:"
"Tell the world what fear is."
Shen Ye's heart skipped a beat.
Tell the world, what is fear?
Your idea is a bit cruel.
broken.
In addition to himself, Sword Princess is also inside.
You can't play, you have to run away!
——Is there a way to survive?
While he was thinking about it, he saw the book disappear with a "pop".
Immediately afterwards.
A map emerged in his mind.
There are various marks on the map, covering monsters, mazes, treasures, hiding spots, safe houses, etc.
——And the six people who arrived first.
Yes.
That piece of information was created when my three skills were upgraded to the highest level, and it was originally my ability.
Shen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and began to observe the map.
——First of all, I saw a moving professional, marked as "Magician" on the map.
In front of the "Magician", there is a monster called the "Slaughterer".
The moment the two sides met——
The word "death" appears above the "Magician".
Another breath passed.
The "magician" disappeared.
Was it eaten, or would the dead disappear automatically from the map?
unknown.
But to die in such a short period of time is really terrifying.
It stands to reason.
Not only will you be given a quota, any other professional must weigh their own strength after being selected.
Professionals who really dare to enter the prehistoric ruins must be the top players in the universe.
In the end, he couldn't hold on for a single round?
Chen Ye couldn't help but think of the scene when he broke through the barrier and reached the well of human heads.
The monsters there also come from other ultimate creations.
Even the Creator died there!
At this time, another person marked as "Magic Spear Warrior" moved towards the direction of the "Slaughterer".
He must have heard the noise.
"Don't go-"
Shen Yeqing couldn't help but said something.
"Magic Gun Warrior" and "Slaughterer" collided!
A "death" mark jumped out from above the "Magic Spear Warrior".
"Magic Gun Warrior" disappears from the map.
Another one dies!
——This is still a joke.
Shen Ye immediately looked towards the other side of the map.
A target labeled "Swordsman" is moving quickly.
This should be the Sword Princess.
She quickly encountered a monster labeled "The Climbing Demon".
Shen Ye's heart was in his throat.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Sword Lady is not dead!
She struggled with the monster for a few seconds, then suddenly disappeared from the road and appeared on the other side of the island.
——It is a special mobile treasure!
Chen Ye came back to his senses, pulled out the cards, and sent a communication to Sword Girl through the Tarot Tower.
Sword Girl has just found a secret passage leading underground.
Sensing the movement of the card, she took it out, took a look, and replied: "Shen Ye? I'm in the ruins of the ancient world. Let me talk about anything when I get back."
As she spoke, she spit out a mouthful of blood.
The battle just now was too dangerous.
If it weren't for a tarot card that forced movement, I might have been killed by a monster right now.
"No - Sister Jian Ji, I got a piece of information that I must tell you about that ruins." Shen Ye said quickly.
Jian Ji was stunned for a moment, but did not hang up the communication.
"Listen, if you can find a secret passage that leads to the underground maze, don't go down the secret passage. There is a most powerful guy down there."
"You have to explore the wall on the left side of the secret passage to find a hollow location. There is a mechanism there and a safe room inside."
"——This is the information I paid a lot of money to buy!"
Shen Ye finished speaking quickly.
Sword Girl listened and looked around.
The secret passage leading to the underground maze——
Aren't you on this road?
What a coincidence.
"Is the information accurate?" Sword Princess asked.
"Accurate! Trust me!" Shen Ye confirmed.
"Okay - if I can gain something, go back and protect your parents for a while."
Communication hung up.
Sword Girl put away the cards and quickly bandaged her left arm to stop the bleeding from the wound.
She reached out and tapped on the wall.
The crisp sound spread far away.
After closing her eyes and listening for a few breaths, Sword Girl suddenly flew forward several hundred meters and pressed her hand on a piece of brick.
in a deep voice.
The walls open.
There is indeed a secret passage inside.
"This kid can actually get this level of information."
Sword Girl praised and walked into the secret passage.
Rumble——
The walls close.
The candle lights automatically.
The Sword Girl held the hilt of her sword with her hand and looked around.
What I saw here was an extremely simple warehouse with all kinds of old and rotten objects piled up.
No danger induction.
Sword Princess breathed a sigh of relief and began to check the items here.
She opened a dusty box, took out a tea set and looked at it carefully.
"It's a very beautiful pattern, and it has a certain meaning."
"I've traveled through many levels of the universe and never seen this kind of civilization creation..."
"Take them all back."
A moment.
Everything was put away by her.
Continuing to walk along the road in the warehouse, you will see a wooden door.
Sword Girl opened the door.
Inside is another warehouse.
However, the warehouse is not full of things.
Floating on the high platform was a pair of gloves emitting a faint cyan light.
"It seems to be a treasure..." Sword Girl stepped forward and took off her gloves.
Rumble——
The door at the back of the warehouse opened again.
She put away her gloves first and continued walking forward.
Go through the door——
"Huh?"
Sword Girl looked around in surprise.
This is the secret base of the Tarot Tower.
She had completed the teleportation here before and entered the ancient ruins.
"Come back so soon?"
Xu Xingke asked in surprise.
"...It's pretty fast," Sword Princess said with a somewhat complicated expression, "I have a pair of gloves. I want you to identify them."
"Good harvest?" Xu Xingke laughed.
"Thanks to that student of yours, otherwise I don't know if I would have come back alive." Sword Girl said.
"What's going on?"
"This time it seems to be serious, not a trivial test like before."
"...The monster is very strong?"
"Very strong. I have completely unleashed my strength, but I can only barely hold on until the Tarot cards activate."
"That would be troublesome."
…
other side.
Shen Ye also breathed a sigh of relief.
When Sword Lady walked out of the door leading to the outside world, the secret passage and the warehouse disappeared together.
——It seems that the ruins only allow one person to go back through that road.
What will everyone else do?
Chen Ye silently observed the map and suddenly discovered a hidden location marked "Abandoned Exchange".
The name sounds interesting.
It doesn't look too far from the map, and there aren't many monsters on the road.
But why take the risk?
The two professionals were killed in an instant.
If you encounter other ultimate creation monsters on the road, it will be very difficult to survive.
Wait a moment--
Shen Ye looked at the map carefully.
The screen is full of monsters.
——Besides himself, only one professional is still alive.
This professional is also very powerful and can actually fight monsters for a long time.
Do you want to help?
Although I am not strong enough, I have a revolver that can temporarily make monsters lose their attack power.
Shen Ye was thinking about it when his eyes suddenly froze.
I saw that professional marked as "Hammer Knight" on the map, but during the battle with the monster, the mark suddenly changed to "Word Spirit Spell Master", then to "Five Elements Magic Cultivator", and then to "Wind and Thunder Warrior" ".
He has four careers!
Chen Ye was shocked, but saw that the mark on the professional's head was still changing crazily.
In just a few breaths, the occupation above his head has changed dozens of times.
The monster next to him suddenly stopped in place.
——The monster stopped chasing!
strangeness.
Did he kill the monster?
But the monster's logo still appears on the map.
The professionals gradually moved away from the monsters.
——Now his logo is "Magic Killer".
The sign moved slowly on the map, then suddenly accelerated, speeding towards Shen Ye.
There were many shadows in Shen Ye's heart, and his spirit became muddled.
It's a very strange feeling.
——It's like being bound by something invisible, sinking down bit by bit, towards decay and death.
How can you influence yourself even though you are so far away?
Shen Ye took a deep breath, put his hand in the air, and shouted:
"Door!"
A door to the sky quietly emerged.
Use the distance between yourself and the "Abandoned Exchange" as an obstacle, then open the door and step across.
The next moment.
Shen Ye appeared in a dark room.
Looking out through the closed doors and windows, you can see a huge figure on the field ridge in the distance.
It was a humanoid monster with the name "The Embodiment of Despair" on the map.
Frankly speaking, it looks more like some kind of limbed insect than a human, but it has a human body.
Shen Ye closed his eyes slightly and looked at the map again.
I saw the professional on the map suddenly stopped.
He stood still, seeming to be exploring something——
Two patrolling monsters appeared from the front and back, trapping him all of a sudden.
The battle begins!
Chen Ye felt relaxed all over.
The previous feeling of being cursed suddenly disappeared.
——Something is wrong!
This is obviously what the other party did.
It's really amazing. You don't even know who you are, but you can influence yourself from a distance.
Shen Ye looked at the abandoned house while paying attention to the movements on the map.
There are three rows of long file bookcases here, a large desk, and two chairs behind the desk.
Shen Ye opened the bookcase and looked at it.
It was empty inside.
But the desks, bookcases, and chairs were all clean, as if they had just been wiped.
It looks like someone has done some work here.
But now the building is empty.
It is indeed an "abandoned exchange".
Shen Ye pondered for a few breaths, and suddenly recalled the words of the person in charge of the Brotherhood:
"Whenever ancient ruins appear, the existence of our nightmare world will be forcibly absorbed into the ruins. As a neutral party, we will provide various supports for team battles."
Neutral party.
But--
There's no one here anymore.
Shen Ye crossed his arms and meditated for a few breaths.
The existence of a nightmare world...
I have one on my hands.
"Big Skeleton."
Shen Ye called out.
The void opened, and a large skeleton fell into the room, looking around warily.
"What is it? Do you want to fight?"
"No need for now, you go and stand behind the table."
"Why?"
"I don't know either, give it a try."
"……good."
The big skull knew that Shen Ye's brain was not on the same frequency as ordinary people, so he didn't bother to ask more questions and simply stood behind the table.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
"Hey? What's going on!" The big skeleton suddenly shouted.
A formal black business suit suddenly appeared on it, with a red bow tie on its throat.
Immediately afterwards.
A scale appeared quietly on the table.
There's drama!
"Have you gotten any tips now?" Shen Ye asked.
"I received a message in my mind. It seems that I can complete an underground transaction with professionals here, specializing in selling a kind of equipment modification and upgrade certificate."
The big skeleton said, taking out a palm-sized document from the drawer and placing it on a tray of the scale.
"You have to put treasures of sufficient value on another tray, balance both sides, and then take away the certification documents."
The big skull explained.
Shen Ye nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
Although I can’t figure out why this abandoned exchange has not been opened, it obviously needs someone to operate it before it can take effect.
Now the people in the nightmare world have become a neutral party, serving the team battle.
It must be done by them.
The big skeleton comes from the nightmare world and is always with him——
It is like a "laizi" in cards and can act as a neutral player in any vacant position.
Shen Ye touched the ring, took out some gems and gold, and placed them on another tray of the level scale.
When the two trays were level, the gems and gold disappeared.
The big skeleton stood up and saluted:
"Congratulations, respected adventurer, this equipment modification and upgrade proves to be yours."
He handed the document to Shen Ye.
"Put it over your equipment to take effect."
Shen Ye answered it and was about to recall the big skeleton when he saw it winking at him.
Skeleton winks are hard to come by.
It has no eyes, and there are only burning soul fires in the eye sockets.
Therefore, for a skeleton to wink, the soul fire must flicker continuously, and then the bones around the eye sockets are slightly squeezed together, causing some cracks.
——What else?
Shen Ye was a little confused.
"Your wisdom, remember, your wisdom!" the big skeleton said quietly.
"Hahaha, dear trader," Shen Ye laughed, handed a piece of gold to the big skeleton, and asked, "I am an old customer. What good things do you have? Don't forget me!"
"Go ahead!" The big skeleton secretly praised.
It took the document out of Shen Ye's hand, opened the bottom drawer, and pulled out a document printed with golden patterns.
"We will serve you wholeheartedly, dear VIP member." The big skeleton said.
Shen Ye took the document and looked at it again.
——Is it over?
The big skeleton suddenly jumped up, first tore off the red tie, then took off his work clothes, and shouted:
"It's done!"
"Do you get any reward?" Shen Ye asked.
The big skeleton spread its hands, revealing the faint soul fire of the dead.
"Completing the work has strengthened my soul fire by 30%." it said excitedly.
Shen Ye nodded.
In this way, the operating mechanism of this abandoned exchange is basically understood.
"Your equipment modification and upgrade certificate is a treasure. It is recommended to use it for good things."
The big skull warned.
Shen Ye took out the Spring Rain Knife and tried to stick the document on the back of the knife.
The golden document quietly disappeared.
Lines of dimly lit characters then appeared:
"Your long sword 'Spring Rain' has been baptized by the power of the Fifth Era and has increased its power. The details are as follows:"
"Spring Rain."
"Mythical sword with special power: wind and thunder (+1)."
"Description: The wind condenses as an extension of the blade, and its power is undiminished; the thunder gathers as the power of the blade, which cannot be resisted."
"(+1) Effect: Each time it hits the target, the target will lose 1% of its health."
"——The prehistoric divine power of the fifth era."
"This sword has a mythological entry: Xiaolou listened to the spring rain all night (+1)."
"Description: Use your sword skills to connect with the vast legal world, and let the endless laws deduce sword skills for you until your sword skills improve. It is limited to once a day."
"(+1) Effect: You don't have to pay the price to learn sword skills."
——This trip was not in vain!
Shen Ye put away the knife and was about to speak when an unpleasant feeling suddenly appeared in her heart.
Look at the map in your mind again.
——The "Magic Killer" is missing!
wrong! ! !
A black shadow flashed across the map, and then overlapped with Shen Ye's position.
Shen Ye thought about lightning and suddenly took out a rooster and put it on his shoulder.
Renshen cock!
I saw the rooster in high spirits, holding a round branch ring in its sharp beak, standing with one leg on his shoulder, and looking around.
All of a sudden.
Small, shimmering letters popped up like crazy:
"The rooster of Renshen held the strange ring 'Frost Snow Xiaomei' in its mouth and completed an emergency disguise."
"'Chicken Too Beautiful' has been successfully cast!"
"Hold the 'Chicken Too Beautiful' to intimidate the enemy. The enemy will use the changes in your power fluctuations to confirm that your strength is not inferior to them."
Shen Ye looked around.
Didn't see that guy.
But on the map, that guy is in this abandoned exchange!
Why didn't he show up?
he--
What was found?
“Friend, since you are here, please come out and see me.”
Shen Ye spoke coldly.
A dull and stiff voice suddenly sounded:
"Unexpectedly, there is a being here who can reach above the level."
The void was distorted.
A person appeared next to Shen Ye.
——He was wearing a monk's robe, his face was pale and his expression was cold.
"Your knife is good."
the man said.
"Of course it's good." Shen Ye said.
"But you don't know how to use a sword?"
"You can try."
As he spoke, overlapping images of hell appeared quietly behind Shen Ye.
The exclusive method of sword technique "Wu Jian"!
"Good sword skills." The man said with an moved expression.
"Play with both hands?" Shen Ye raised the Spring Rain Knife and invited.
The sound of wind and thunder slowly rose from the long sword.
——Every hit will lose 1% of life force.
Would you like to try it?
The man stood blankly, paused for a few breaths, and then said:
"A strong man like you is qualified to join us and explore the ancient ruins with us."
"You?" Shen Ye repeated.
The man slowly said: "Yes, we are the strongest human organization in the universe. We are called -"
"White Horse Club."
Shen Ye's heart skipped a beat.
White Horse Club?
——A white horse is not a horse!
