Vol 6 Chapter 3044: High ground

   Chapter 3044 High Platform
  According to Speeding, its clone is in the area ahead where the lava river flows.
   Maybe the fire element and the earth element near the lava river are too powerful, and the energy perception has been disturbed in some way, and the speed can not be accurately positioned.
   However, most of the lava rivers can be seen at a glance.
  The only special place is...the high platform filled with flames.
   There is a high probability that the swift winds are on the high platform. If it is not on the high platform, it is only possible in the lava river.
   The probability of being in the lava river is low. Although the avatar of the speedy has no intelligence, the basic survival instinct is still there. It is impossible to dive into the extreme environment of a lava river unless you are seriously ill or forced to do so.
   Moreover, the avatar of the speed spirit really ran into the lava river, it is estimated that it should be cold.
  So, go to Lava Hanoi to look for it, and I will not consider it for the time being.
   Angel still put his eyes on the high platform.
  The behind-the-scenes wizard who made the game of Paradise should be there; the clone of the speed spirit may also be there... So, will there be any connection between the two?
   Is that space wizard who kept the Speed ​​Spirit clone forcibly?
   Angel thought about various possibilities in his heart, followed Doakes and walked towards the high platform.
  Although the high platform is surrounded by the lava river, the lava river does not completely cut off the communication between the high platform and the outside world, and there is a long straight road directly below the high platform.
   Lava rivers weave around this long road, but do not cut it off.
   Walking on this long road with lava rivers on both sides, Angel had a subtle feeling. The surrounding lava rivers are like guarding this high platform. Their existence is not to block, but to create a sense of oppression for those who come.
   makes people feel the urgency of "taking this road, it is hard to turn back".
   Maybe this is a psychological suggestion, or a special ritual?
   Soon, they walked this long road, all the way to the last section of the road under the high platform.
   The reason why this last section of the road is deliberately brought up is because it is different from the previous long road. The first half of the road they walked was basically a road paved with scorched earth. Except that it was not too bumpy, there was no other effect, and there were not too many artificial traces.
   But the second half of the road is different. It has obvious artificial traces, and the ground is not scorched, but composed of three-color gems.
The colors of the    stones are: red, reddish brown and black.
  Red gemstone and reddish-brown gemstone respectively correspond to Fire Amber and Burning Amber. These two types of gemstones are both fire-related gemstones, and they are also the best gemstone materials for fire-scattering reactions.
  The above two kinds of gems occupy 95% of the area of ​​this road, which is somewhat similar to the road surface.
   The black gem is the least, it is not paved in the middle of the road, but has a line of black gems on each side. And this black gem is a synthetic amber stone, which can make the wizard more concentrated when meditating.
  Although it is synthetic, its value is also the most expensive of the three gems.
   "The fire reaction...and the amber stone that enhances the effect of meditation." Doakes whispered: "This should be the original facility in Paradise."
  The so-called fire-scattering reaction refers to the effect that when two isotopic gemstones are combined with a special arrangement, the effect will be based on the highest gemstone energy level.
   is just like the fire aberdeen and the scorching aberde in front of you, the fire aberdeen is a fire-type gem that does not enter the stream, and the burning aberdeen is a low-level element gem.
   Generally speaking, if you want the surrounding element level to reach the energy level of scorching amber, it must be covered with scorching amber.
   But if you use the fire reaction, you can save a lot of burning amber. Three scorching amber and seven fire amber are combined in a specific arrangement, and the fire element energy released at the end will reach the effect of ten scorching amber gem energy levels.
   This is a very resource-saving method and maximizes the effect.
  Behind the Paradise is the Bliss Hall. As a shop opened in various wizard markets, the Bliss Hall can basically be equivalent to a "business alliance". And businessmen value profits, how to create maximum benefits with minimum costs is a must for businessmen.
   Huosan Reaction This method of leveraging most of the energy with a small amount of money is the most proficient in the entire wizarding world.
   There are both fire dispersion reactions here to improve the purity of the surrounding fire elements; there are also amber stones that assist in meditation. At a glance, this area should have been a cultivation place built by some fire wizards in Paradise.
   It's just that the space wizard has now transformed it into a burrow arena according to local conditions.
  This last section of the road, in addition to the gem paving on the ground, there is another place that makes them very concerned.
   That is... people.
   There are people on this road, and more than one.
   As far as Angel can see, he has seen a dozen apprentice wizards, but most of them are lying on the ground motionless... They are not dead, but they are all in a coma.
   There were only two people with their eyes open.
   These two are at the end of the road, that is, under the high platform.
   Soon, Angel and others came under the high platform and saw these two people.
   One is a female apprentice leaning under the torch stand. She seems to be under some kind of pressure, her eyes are bloodshot, and there are blue veins on her forehead.
   However, although she was very uncomfortable, she obviously still had a personal consciousness.
   Hearing the footsteps of Angel and others, he still held his breath and turned to look at them.
   She seemed to be looking forward to the person who came. When she turned her head, her eyes were still shining, but when she saw that the people who came were Angel, her eyes dimmed slightly.
   Maybe it was because she didn't wait for someone to make her eyes bright, and her mind sank, and because of this moment's relaxation, some kind of pressure on her suddenly increased.
   She even cried out in pain.
   "You, are you alright?" Kael asked in a low voice.
After a heart-wrenching scream, the female apprentice finally mastered the tricks of fighting stress again and calmed down a little; it's just that her appearance at this time is more scary than before, and the exposed skin on her body is full of blue veins. , and even seeped blood in some places.
   Before, she could turn her head to look at Angel and others, but at this time, she didn't even have the strength to turn her head.
   However, facing Kael's question, she gritted her teeth and tried her best to say a word.
  Her voice was very low, and it was mixed with the ambiguity of blood foam. Kael also listened to it for a long time before confirming what she said: "...Be careful with the statue?"
   "Statue? What is a statue?" Kael looked confused.
   The female apprentice obviously didn't have the strength to explain at this time, so Kael could only give up asking.
   At this moment, Doakes patted Kael on the shoulder and motioned him to look forward.
   Following Dox's guidance, Kael saw a "coiled mountain" staircase not far away.
  The stairs go around the mountainside where the high platform is located, all the way up, and finally reach the top of the high platform.
   They were still far from the high platform before, and the stairs were on the side, so I didn't see it. Now that I came under the high platform, I saw the stairs of the winding mountain.
   However, what Dox showed Kael was not the stairs, but a human-shaped statue standing beside the stairs.
The    humanoid statues turned their backs to them, and for the time being, I couldn't see anything tricky.
   But it's the only statue nearby... Maybe that's what the female apprentice was talking about?
  Anyway, the statue is nearby, and they will definitely encounter it, so Kael temporarily put aside the problem of the statue. Looking back at the struggling female apprentice.
   "We... Shall we save her?" Kael asked in a low voice.
As soon as    Kael's voice fell, Doakes sneered: "When did you become so kind? Why, was it influenced by Aix?"
  Kael: "I mean, after saving her, maybe I can get some information from her."
   Doakes snorted softly: "You only have 'she' in your eyes, don't you? I didn't see it, is there another person here besides her?"
   "I only saw a woman, didn't I see a man next to me?"
   There are two people nearby who are not in a coma, one is a female apprentice, and the other is a middle-aged male apprentice kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.
   "If you really want to get information, it's not the same as who you save, why do you have to save her?" Doakes put his face in front of Kael: "Or, did you like her?"
   Kael almost wanted to roll his eyes.
   He just asked casually, and Doakes went around to the horizon.
   He is also talkative! Knowing that Doakes is out of character, why ask Doakes.
"She should be under some kind of mental pressure now. If she can survive it, it will be good for her. If she can't survive it, it's just like other people. She fainted, and her life should not be in danger." At this time, Angel opened his mouth.
   Hearing Angel's words, Kael was a little stunned... It turned out to be some kind of mental oppression.
   That is not easy to save.
   involves the spiritual level, and a little carelessness will lead to the collapse of the spiritual sea. Moreover, according to what Angel said, saving her at this time might also make her a little less chance, so it is better not to save her.
   But then again.
  Why do people here suffer from mental stress?
  Kael turned his attention to another male apprentice who was not in a coma. Maybe he could get some information from him?
  Kail was just thinking about this when he heard the male apprentice say in a terrified voice: "It's not me, it's not me... I didn't spread the information..."
   "It's number three, number three asked me to do it!"
   "Why did you lie to me..."
   With his screams, he seemed to see great fear, his eyes slumped, and then he fell to the ground and fell into a coma.
   "Looks like he didn't hold back." Doakes whispered: "But, what did he mean by those words just now? Who is Number Three?"
   Doakes shook his head: "Forget it, it has nothing to do with us anyway."
After   , Doakes stepped forward.
   Since they are going to the high platform, it is definitely impossible to stay here.
   As for the "statue" the female apprentice warned them about, Doakes didn't care. Whether there is a problem with the statue, and how big the problem is with the statue, they must go and see for themselves.
   Also, Doakes didn't think there would be much of a problem with this statue.
   There were shouts above the high platform, and there were more than one voices, indicating that someone had entered the ring. Statues can't stop others, and that naturally can't stop them.
   After a while, they came to the vicinity of the Panshan Stairs and saw the standing statue.
  Before they were seen from the back, so they could only see a rough outline, which was a human shape.
But now, looking from the front, Doakes has only one thought in his heart... He now understands why he turned his back to them in the first place, because when his back is turned, at least there is still room for reverie; is really bad.
  Except for the facial lines on the face, other parts are just pinched with plasticine, without any details.
  Simply put, from a distance you look like a man, from a close up you look like a stickman.
   Those apprentices were all under a certain amount of mental pressure, maybe they saw the front of the statue and were spiritually polluted.
  When Dox was madly complaining in his heart, Human Face Pattern opened his eyes.
   Immediately afterwards, their familiar mechanical voice came from the mouth of the human face.
   "The new players are assembled, and the end game is about to begin."
   "The game is fixed as a ring match, and the winner clears the level; as long as he doesn't fall down, he can challenge again and again."
   "Before the challenge, you need to determine whether you are eligible to enter the ring. The way of qualification is: mental shock."
   "Please confirm whether or not to qualify. The countdown is five seconds."
   "Five, four, three..."
When the    face pattern was still counting down, Doakes and the others just skipped it and walked towards the stairs.
   "You need to be certified before you can enter the arena!" The face tattoo probably didn't expect someone to rush up, so he quickly stopped.
   But they ignored it at all and continued to walk up.
   Dox and Angel walked with great peace of mind, but Kael was a little worried, and said in the heart tie: "Can we really ignore it like this?"
  Doakes: "Don't worry, we are not players, what can it do to us?"
The voice of   human face pattern continued: "You need to be certified to enter the arena! If you don't stop, you will be attacked!"
   Doakes sneered, still ignoring the facial pattern, but continued to say to Kael in the heart tie: "I bet it will never attack us."
   However, as soon as his voice fell, an arrow of spiritual power spewed out from the mouth of the human-face statue.
  Target to Doakes!
  咻
Although the    mental force arrow did not insert into Doakes' body, it also made Doakes stumble and almost fell.
   Watching this scene, both Kael and Angel fell silent.
  
…

   Doakes: "It attacks better!"
   Doakes turned his head and took a big step, landed in front of the statue, and slammed his fist directly into the face with a huge force.
   Accompanied by a clicking sound, the human-faced statue shattered to the ground.
   Doakes said lightly: "Other people will be caught by it because they have signed a contract. We are not players. If the face print takes the initiative to attack us, then we can fight back."
After    Doakes finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and walked quickly to the front, leaving only Angel and Kael with a handsome back.
