After finishing the backlog of tasks, Su Bai stopped exploring the four buildings.
What if another task is triggered?
Given his obsessive-compulsive personality, I wonder how much more time he'll waste on these things.
Leave the room.
Su Bai then headed straight for his target this time—Building Six.
The sky was overcast, with thick, leaden clouds hanging low as if about to touch the ground, as if brewing a torrential downpour that could engulf the entire world.
Towering buildings stood in the gloom, with giant vines stretching across the dark clouds like branches extending from a giant tree, connecting several buildings tightly together, or like blood-red pythons parasitizing a steel jungle, greedily devouring the few remaining sources of life beneath these ruins.
Six buildings.
Its main entrance and the doors and windows of every household have been completely blocked by tightly intertwined blood-red roots.
If the wealthy district itself is a forbidden zone for living beings, then this place is an even more forbidden zone within a forbidden zone. The greatest secret of the Demon Flower is hidden in these six buildings, and it does not allow anyone to set foot here.
Unfortunately.
Su Bai happened to know the only entrance to this building.
He avoided the gaze of the enormous, crimson flower that stood tall and fluttered in the center of the area, and cautiously circled around to the back of Building 6. Su Bai then crushed several bottles of pollen potion, poured it all over his body, and let the scent of pollen fully mask his own smell.
—When doing this, he didn't forget to take off the cleansing pendant; otherwise, its automatic cleaning function would have mistaken the pollen medicine for dirt and cleaned it away.
Achoo...
The strong scent of pollen even made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Su Bai lowered his head slightly, and a raven doctor mask appeared out of thin air and fell down automatically. The mask's built-in air filtration effect greatly reduced the annoyance from the fragrance.
"How's the search going on your end?"
He asked in the team chat.
"That's about it, shall we start? I've found a lot of good stuff here!"
Ning Hongchen sounded very excited.
That's true. The resource points in the Lost City are randomly refreshed, so it depends a lot on luck. She and Su Siyao, who is incredibly lucky, must have found a lot of treasures.
In comparison.
Nine Lives' reply is more reliable.
“We have basically located the room where the ‘Seed of Sacrifice’ is, but we haven’t found the ‘Painting Board’ yet. We are waiting for Lou Wei to enter the next cycle.”
He said.
The being chosen by the Demon Flower as the seed of sacrifice on the first floor was once a 'painter'.
He hid himself in the world of his own paintings.
Without a guide.
We need to find him.
Its difficulty is no less than navigating the extremely complex painted maze in Room 16 without any strategy guide—in fact, that maze was created by the same artist.
The key to finding him lies in the 'canvas' he once used.
With a drawing board.
Then you can successfully enter the world of his paintings.
However, in the world of the painting, the two also have to face various traps, enemies, and predicaments created by him.
This level may not require a very high output.
But you must have a strong ability to survive.
Secondly, there is the ability to observe.
As for Nine Lives and Cuttlefish, one is good at preserving his life and the other has keen senses, so they can be said to be the most suitable candidates to find the painter.
"Tch, I knew you guys were secretly chugging the progress." Ning Hongchen smiled smugly upon hearing this. "Didn't expect that, did you? I've already gotten the key item for this level: the [Capped Dice]!"
"Not bad, it's rare for him to be reliable."
Su Bai praised.
The lead-filled dice in Ning Hongchen's hand were indeed the key item needed by the Seed of Life they were looking for.
As shown in the props.
The second building's sacrificial seed is a gambler who is addicted to gambling.
To see him, Su Siyao will inevitably have to rely on her lucky charm.
certainly.
The key was still cheating by using lead dice.
Because that gambler also cheated; luck alone wasn't enough. In the end, when he got desperate, it was Ning Hongchen's turn to show off his fist, which was as big as a sand pot...
"Tsk, I don't like listening to you talk!"
Ning Hongchen retorted unhappily.
Su Bai hung up the voice message.
Both teams were making good progress, but his team hadn't made any progress yet. He immediately perked up, making sure he wasn't so busy urging everyone else that he would falter when it came to his turn.
Look up.
A blood-red root, more than half a meter thick, rose from the ground, resembling a giant python coiled around the entire building. Upon closer inspection, the root's outer skin was translucent, revealing bright red substances flowing within it, like a thick blood vessel exposed on the ground.
Su Bai placed his hand on it and could clearly feel its warmth and rhythmic movement.
Wind Control Spell!
He raised his hand and cast a spell on himself.
Surrounded by a gentle breeze, Su Bai suddenly felt much lighter. Using his hands and feet, he easily flipped over and climbed up the root. The root was very flexible and contracted slightly under pressure, but it was not crushed by his weight.
Use the roots of the Demon Flower as a ladder.
He climbed upwards.
Up to the top floor.
A stained-glass window, made of lead strips and colored glass with no roots covering its surface, appeared before his eyes.
Through the window.
You can vaguely see that it is a cozy young girl's bedroom.
Just as Su Bai was about to open the window, he suddenly heard a soft clang, and the tightly closed window opened automatically in front of him.
