C26 The Throne of Bones the Staff of Darkness(4)
The round table in the middle began to shake with a bang. He had to exert a lot of effort just to stand up. He had to use all of his skills before he finally stabilized his body and did not fall to the ground.
Could it be that the hall was going to collapse? Looking at this world-ending earthquake, this kind of conjecture popped up in his heart.
The violent shaking caused the ceiling to shake off white dust, and a visible crack silently extended from the ceiling. He looked at the situation and secretly cursed in his heart, this house is really going to collapse!
I have to leave as soon as possible. He looked at Bai Yuqing who was floating in the air and felt anxious in his heart.
The magical thing was, as if responding to his thoughts, the black energy on the girl's body suddenly retracted towards her body. In a few breaths time, the wide wings on her back retracted back into her body and the black flames in her eyes also extinguished.
Bai Yuqing, who did not have the support of the dark energy, fell from the sky with a swoosh.
He was overjoyed and rushed forward to catch the falling girl.
The girl's eyes were closed and she was in a coma. The black mark between her eyebrows disappeared. It must have been absorbed into her body like the black energy. From the outside, it seemed like she was no different from before. She was breathing calmly, as if she had fallen asleep.
Alright, let's just carry the girl away like this! He encouraged himself in his heart as he carried the girl behind him.
At this moment, the doors on both sides suddenly opened, revealing the stairs leading up.
The two doors represent two branches?
As long as one chose, there was no way out. No one knew where they would lead to.
One might lead to death, the other to survive...
Looking at the stairs engraved with classical patterns, the scenery behind the two doors was exactly the same, except for the pattern of the door. One was a flaming purple fox and the other was a wind and rain mammoth.
His brain spun rapidly, trying to figure out which path he should take.
In just a few breaths of time, he had already decided on his choice... At this moment, the cracks on the ceiling were like spider webs as pieces of gravel fell from the ceiling.
After making his choice, he did not immediately rush out of the door. Instead, he took three steps forward and stepped onto the stairs leading to the Skeleton Throne, snatching the scepter from the black skeleton's hands.
He immediately turned around and ran towards the door.
Although the gemstone on the scepter had merged with Bai Yuqing's body, the scepter was the most crucial evidence that they had come to this hall. No matter what, they had to get it.
Of course, there was also his personal thoughts mixed within - a scepter that could be held in the hands of an emperor on the throne of skeletons, of course it would not be trash. Even if it couldn't be used, selling it would still be a huge amount of wealth.
- - - the path he chose was the door that depicted the flaming fox on the left.
Looking at the attributes of both sides, they were opposing each other. The fox was fire, the elephant was water. For the two elements, he preferred fire. After all, it was more aggressive and in line with his game principles.
As soon as he stepped onto the first step of the stairs behind the flaming fox's gate, he heard a loud bang behind him. The entire hall collapsed!
He had no time to pay attention to the sound. At this moment, there was only one word in his mind: Charge!
Following that, the rumbling sound seemed to chase after him as it came from behind him. Without even looking, he knew how that sound came from - - it was the loud sound of the staircase collapsing!
The stairs behind him collapsed, if he took a single step, he would be buried in hell.
His fat legs were like machines, continuously stepping on the stairs that were one step higher.
His weight, combined with the girl's weight, was quite heavy. A hundred steps were enough for him to pant, but now, after running past a hundred steps, there was still an endless flight of stairs and corridors.
His face was flushed red, and he held his breath as he madly rushed upwards. The muscles in his legs went from sore to painful, then completely unconscious. He had stepped on countless steps.
In his extreme fatigue, he also had the thought of giving up, but every time negative emotions appeared, they would be quickly dispelled by him, and then he would give himself encouragement.
Under this brainwashing self-encouragement, he kept climbing up.
Suddenly, a gentle light hit his face, full of warmth and hope.
That was sunlight!
After stepping onto the last step, he suddenly jumped out. He finally broke away from the staircase hell!
The beautiful green world stretched before his eyes, the sunlight shining down on his face. He fell to the ground, because he rolled a few times due to the force. He laid on the ground, breathing heavily.
The huge explosion that had been reverberating in his ears earlier had disappeared. The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of tiny insects chirping could be heard. Opening his eyes, he saw the twisted giant trees intersecting at high altitudes. The sunlight that had been sheared just so happened to land in his eyes.
The world was peaceful and beautiful, as if everything that had just destroyed the heavens and the earth was an illusion. Only the black scepter lying quietly beside him showed the true existence of that enormous and gorgeous dark space.
After resting for a long time, he was finally able to stand up, but his legs were still sore and weak.
Helpless, he drank a bottle of Elementary Health Potion. The Health Potion not only had the effect of recovering health, but it could also cure diseases and relieve pain and fatigue. It had the same effect as the Priest's Heal.
With the help of the Basic Health Potion, the pain in his body gradually disappeared. He stretched his muscles and bones, feeling that the world was so beautiful.
Looking around, this was a dense forest, but it was not the mountain wall when they accidentally entered the dark cave.
Observing the vegetation, they discovered that this wasn't even the Kaz Forest.
This gave him a headache.
The mission to rescue the young girl had to be completed within a month. Now, there were only around 20 days left. If they were sent to a place far away from the Kaz Village and the mission was not completed because they had not rushed back to the village and had their levels dropped, who would he find to cry to?
Thinking of the mission, he looked at the girl beside him. The young girl closed her eyes and breathed evenly, as if she had fallen asleep.
No matter what, it was good that she was still alive.
She turned around and looked around, only to find that there was also a cliff behind her.
She walked up to the stone wall and touched it. She found that the stone walls in this area were all real, and there was no place that could be directly penetrated. However, they had undoubtedly escaped from this place just now.
What exactly was the mechanism to enter the secret cave? He still did not understand. He was afraid that the cave had completely collapsed, and no one would ever enter again.
After falling into such a predicament, he rubbed his chin and pondered.
The key point was Bai Yuqing.
It was her performance in the dark hall that made her seem like an invincible goddess. She controlled the gem to burn the zombie to death, and only then could they escape alive.
The girl did not know when she would wake up, nor did she know what had happened to her.
A large number of questions surged through his mind.
What was that cave, who was the black skeleton, what did it have to do with Bai Yuqing, why did she know the ancient curse, why did the black crystal turn into a laser and fuse into the girl's body...
If he could solve these messy mysteries by just thinking about it, he would have become a god a long time ago. Putting all these aside, he should first find a way home and bring her back to the village.
Completing the mission was always the first thing in his heart.
The harvest he obtained in the hall was beyond his expectations. When Bai Yuqing used the black crystal to burn the zombie, he actually counted as an assistant.
But after thinking about it carefully, it should be because he caused damage to the zombie that he got the reward.
There were a total of eight system notifications, four of them were for killing the BOSS. The Oracle Continent rewarded him with experience and reputation. The other four were the rewards given by the Grand Knight passive system for killing the boss, which increased the Exorcist Knight Branch's experience points.
According to this plan, as long as they killed the boss, the Exorcist Knight Branch would be able to gain experience points. This method of leveling up was much better than the other knight branch who could only obtain experience points by completing quests.
In other words, out of the eight zombie, the reward was given to him. Only four. And he only managed to cause damage to the four zombie. So, as long as it caused damage, it could be considered as an auxiliary attack.
The level of these zombie must be ridiculously high. He had only dealt a weak amount of damage to them, but he had received a generous reward.
In total, he had obtained a total of 320 experience points, 100 reputation points, and 120 Exorcist Knight Branch experience points in this battle.
This allowed him to level up again, and his Stats Window changed to -7 (206 / 300).
100 reputation points in Carol Kingdom should be beneficial to the big cities in the future, so it would be useless for the time being.
120 points of Exorcist Knight Branch experience points had increased his Exorcist Knight level by 1. It had become: Exorcist Knight (Level 2, 20 / 100)
He had obtained 1 Exorcist Knight Branch attribute point. Adding the previous reward, he now had 4 Exorcist Knight Branch attribute points that were unprocessed.
In conclusion, his harvest was exceptionally pleasant.
