Chapter 259

Anyway, there is still one day left until dawn, and since we can’t talk about the other network and the past, we can only chat.

It doesn't matter. You've been nervous for so long, just take a break.

Although some people followed the Tree of Life along the way, none of them found Lin Zhipei sitting on the dense tree canopy.

Lin Zhipei listened to the information conveyed by the plants and roughly understood the distribution of the contestants currently in [Spring].

Two of the [Kings] have already left, and the remaining three kings are wandering in [Spring].

The ones who left were of course Lan Yi, and the suspected female "Wang" who had followed them all the way.

Before the strange flowers that served as clues bloomed, Lin Zhipei came to the Tree of Life and paid solemn tribute to Ju Mang who was buried there.

If we were to say who Lin Zhipei respected most in his life, it would only be Ju Mang.

"I don't know what to call you, maybe Senior? Would you like this title?"

In addition to receiving the favor of the Sealed Heart, Ju Mang was also a student of the predecessor of the Secret Script Academy of Supernatural Powers and a senior of Lin Zhipei.

Therefore, the title of senior is most appropriate.

"My name is Lin Zhipei, and I am also a student of Secret Writings. I have also studied in the Lingyan class!"

The wind blows and the branches sway, and the tranquility of this moment is eternal.

"I have some very good friends, and they are also in the Lingyan class."

Even though she knew that Ju Mang could no longer hear her, Lin Zhipei still expressed her good wishes.

"We met Mr. Yigong together and learned about your past. Therefore, we decided to reveal this dusty memory. We will never forget it."

People always need to persist in their lives, and Lin Zhipei is sure that this is what they must do.

Lin Zhipei believes that the beliefs of the dead will become the driving force for the living to move forward.

By night, quite a lot of people had gathered around the Tree of Life. Apparently, they all knew how to pass through Spring.

Now, even with the cover of the plants, Lin Zhipei would be discovered if he continued to stay there.

So the Tree of Life directly allowed Lin Zhipei to take away a small piece of its branch.

"Whether dew drops condense on the leaves is up to me, so don't worry, Master Pepe."

Lin Zhipei solemnly thanked the Tree of Life and then blended into the crowd.

Of course, he also paid attention to the locations of the remaining three [Kings], but perhaps he knew that it was too dangerous to get close to them now, so he stayed relatively far away.

Maybe... he could try to snatch the embers from these people.

I don’t know where I will go after leaving [Spring], or what their current situation is.

Even though it has left its main body, the branches of the Tree of Life are still alive and can still communicate with Lin Zhipei.

"There must be no problem with Master Pepe's friends."

The main idea is to love the person and love his dog.

But Lin Zhipei also thinks so.

"Of course!"

——

From the dark night of the [Dead Burial Cemetery], to the lonely [Dusk], to the [Spring] that left all things alive, it finally arrived...

"Hmm? Why is it different from what I imagined?"

"What are you imagining?" Lan Yi asked back.

"It's a place that connects the past and the future! But this is clearly..."

Li Ke didn't know how to describe it.

The twelve ribs of the giant beast pierced the sky like giant swords, and spider-web-like blood-red covered them. The scorching sun poured down, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, blood and rust.

And located in the center of the dead beast is an altar full of religious meaning.

There are many stained glass windows inlaid behind the altar. Although most of them are broken, you can still see the shadow of the evil dragon biting the brave man's neck.

Located in the center of the altar is a gorgeous yet dim throne.

A three-meter-high brass scale was placed on the throne, the left tray was filled with broken weapons, the right tray was filled with dried black blood plasma, a dried corpse was nailed in a high-hanging iron ring of thorns, and a long sword was stuck between the ribs, still dripping with blood.

And they stood on this altar.

This is——【Arena of Death and Death】

"Ahhhh don't stay there leave now!!!"

Before the four could react, a girl's scream rang out. There was a flame burning on the hem of her clothes. It was obviously the "King" they had been tracking all the way.

Before anyone could react, the throne on the altar began to tremble.

The four of them jumped back at the same time, and after leaving the altar, the throne returned to peace.

Xi Siling looked at the girl who spoke. She looked much younger than he had imagined.

The fact that he would risk having the remaining fire robbed to come out and remind them means that the thing on the altar must be extremely dangerous.

But what attracted his attention more than all these was the man in a baseball cap next to the girl.

Isn't this the man he met before entering the ceremony and made him feel a little concerned?

Fia stared at the being on the throne nervously, and when she saw no special reaction, she breathed a sigh of relief.

What bad luck! There were so many possible checkpoints, but they chose to come here.

"Is there anything special about that altar? What will happen if we stay there?"

Li Ke asked curiously.

Fia looked at the four young men; none of them looked like bad guys at first glance.

"This is the [Arena of Death and Death]. If we get too close, the skeleton on the throne will awaken. He will chase the one who possesses the ember. He is powerful enough to kill all of us in an instant."

But...the clearance conditions of this level are really related to it...

"Why do you know so much?"

Lan Yi was very sure that this girl was the one who woke up from the throne of the [Sacrificial Site] with him.

In fact, he had been a little confused before, since he had been tracking this girl since he reunited with his companions.

Being always a step behind is explainable, but this speed of clearing the level is abnormal, as if they knew how to clear the level from the beginning.

"...Why should I tell you? Anyway, I saved you! Stop staring at my embers!"

Of course, Fia was worried that the guy would wake up and implicate herself, but objectively speaking, she did save four people!

"Then how do we pass the level?" Xi Siling felt that the way to pass the level was related to the skeleton.

"..." Liu Huaqi had no intention of snatching Fia's remains. His attention, like Xi Siling's, was on the man next to her.

The mist outlined the man's appearance and turned him into someone familiar.

What's wrong?

No... How could someone come to Yiwang with their original face? Did they deliberately create the image of Nai Tiaosheng?

It was quite obvious that someone was staring at him directly, so Nai Tiaosheng lowered the brim of his baseball cap by three points.

His disguise wasn't very clever, he was just betting that no one would notice.

but...

At this time, Fia stepped forward and blocked him behind her.

"The way to pass the level is to sit on that throne, but you must be the one who possesses the ember."

In other words, only five people can leave the [Arena of Death and Death].

Liuhuaqi withdrew her gaze from the man.

"Then why did you remind us just now? After we lead the Skeleton King away, can't you leave?"

Fia swallowed her saliva and felt that this young man was the one who gave her the most oppressive feeling.

But she didn't know how to explain it. She just saw them standing there in a daze and shouted out subconsciously.

This sounds too unimpressive.

"Of course I'm worried that you're too inexperienced! Instead of that, why don't we discuss it and maybe we can benefit each other!"

Nai Tiaosheng was quite helpless. The little girl was not only silly, but also a little arrogant.

He walked out from behind the little girl.

"You don't seem like members of an organization with a superior-subordinate relationship, but more like companions who are adventuring together."

Nai Tiaosheng's judgment was spot-on. At least it could be confirmed that they were not a group of vicious criminals and could be trusted to a certain extent.

"Although it's true, unfortunately we also have our reasons for passing the level." Li Kecai would not let the man 'morally blackmail' them.

On certain issues, the bottom line must of course be more flexible.

"That's not what I meant, but cooperation is the best option before those people get here, isn't it?"

Who would come to attend the ceremony without a reason?

If she doesn't seize this opportunity, this little girl Fia will be eaten up by those people until nothing is left.

Li Ke looked at everyone. Although he believed that they could deal with the so-called Skeleton King on their own, this girl provided a lot of important information and they were not bad people.

"Si Ling, you decide. You must keep moving forward." Lan Yi has made up his mind to hand over the remaining fire in his possession to Xi Si Ling. He keeps it now just to provide help. Now it seems that this is the end of where he can reach.

"40, that man is Nai Tiao Sheng." Only his friends could hear what Liu Huaqi said, although he was still in doubt just now.

Xi Siling was stunned for a moment, "Why is he here?"

Nai Tiaosheng? According to the timeline of his previous life, he would soon be the one to resign as the head of the Institute of Supernatural Powers and disappear.

It turns out that he has also been to the Yiwang ceremony?

but...

"77, how did you recognize him?"

"Because he used his own image to enter the alien network, the mask and the baseball cap do not affect the observation of the fog." Liu Huaqi was also confused, but it was not easy to ask at this time.

Since the other party wants to hide his identity, they should just pretend they don't know until it is necessary.

Xi Siling thought about it but didn't make a decision immediately.

"I have some questions that may be offensive. If you mind, you don't have to answer them."

Fia nodded nervously.

"Is the reason you want to move forward for the so-called reward?"

"Of course not!" All Fia knew was what was told to her by the notes left by her mother. The notes did not mention anything about rewards. She tried her best just to find her mother.

Seeing that the little girl was about to tell others her purpose in excitement again, Nai Tiaosheng grabbed Feiya's shoulders and pulled her back.

"This child is going to meet someone. She has no intention of rewarding anyone and knows a lot about the ceremony. As long as you can lead her forward, it will be fine."

Feiya was stunned, "Uncle... you..."

But Nai Tiao Sheng also has someone to look for...

"Si Ling, go ahead, we will try our best to catch up."

Keeping the little girl is indeed beneficial to Xi Siling, as she obviously knows a lot.

Xi Siling also knew that now was not the time to be humble, so he nodded.

"Thanks."

Nai Tiaosheng also visibly relaxed a little.

Now, it's time to awaken the king on the altar.
