After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 133 This is our agreement (please vote)

The eighth floor of the underground maze, inside the main hall.

Huang Bing turned around and walked towards the corner.

Ryan took her place and guarded the place with Qing Ling.

The empty hall seemed particularly quiet.

Ryan and Qing Ling were dozens of meters apart, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the gate.

Miss Assassin's body is in the shadows and cannot be seen clearly.

Ryan looked away from Huang Bing's back.

He had many doubts about this "Ice Witch" lady.

There is a "Witch Club Branch" on the outlying island, but from the mouth of the Phantom Beast Witch Meloye, Ryan did not get any news that there were other witches on the island.

In fact, the number of witches is so rare that it is quite rare to have a witch on an offshore island.

If there is a second witch, unless this witch has never used magic power from beginning to end, it is impossible not to be discovered.

No, that’s not necessarily true.

Ryan remembered the original words of the Phantom Beast Demon Meloye in the previous conversation - "It has been less than two months since I took over the 'branch point' here. In addition, the previous person in charge disappeared for no reason, and many intelligence sources were lost. so……"

Before the Phantom Beast Witch Meloye, there was another person in charge of the witch branch on the remote island.

It's just that the person in charge has been out of contact for a long time, so the Witches' Headquarters sent Meloye to take over.

Could it be that the Ice Witch is the former person in charge or someone related to the former person in charge?

"call……"

Ryan let out a breath and stopped thinking about it.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he silently thought about his own affairs.

Now, the biggest thing before him is the "Gluttony Hunter"'s "pleasure ritual" and the "Pirates'" "rules struggle."

The problem of [Spirituality] has always troubled him, especially the use of "True Charged Slash" and the rigid 10.0 [Spirituality] requirement, which made Ryan's desire for spirituality become more and more urgent.

But at his current level, if he wants to make a big breakthrough in [spirituality], he must get a career promotion.

"Happy Ritual": In a grand occasion, completing a "happy" act recognized by more than a hundred people - the desire for desire and the pursuit of excitement are the most extreme manifestations of "joy".

In essence, "pleasure rituals" and "rule struggle" do not conflict. In fact, the two can complement each other.

One of the things that the world likes to hear most and is easiest to recognize is one: challenging the power represented by rules.

Whether it's an arena match or a forced attack, it can be done as long as there is a legitimate and suitable reason.

If the challenge can be successful in public, there is no doubt that it is in line with the requirements of "pleasure ritual" and "rules struggle".

But the problem is that power is called power because of its incomparable authority and power.

If you want to challenge rules and power, you must first be prepared for defeat.

The outlying island at the moment is in a chaotic period when the underground labyrinth is broken, and it is difficult to find a suitable opportunity. Otherwise, Ryan really wants to disguise himself, find a reason, and challenge the Libra Holy Cult.

"I really don't know how other [pirates] were promoted to the second level."

Ryan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Shaking his head, he suppressed his inner thoughts. No matter what, everything had to wait until the end of this special mission.

Closing his eyes, Ryan began to meditate silently.

On the one hand, it is to deepen his understanding of [Storm Sword Skill], on the other hand, in the state of meditation, his perception of the outside world will also become more acute.

Ryan knows his spiritual shortcomings. If so, he uses the sixth sense brought by his strong body to make up for it.

The perception derived from [Physique] has a relatively small range, but a higher precision. In the meditative state, the range of perception can be broadened by reducing the precision.

It is not certain which one is better or worse, it can only be said that the applicable situations are different. The former is more suitable for close combat, while the latter has more advantages in vigilance and detection.

As the perception circle widens, Ryan can clearly perceive the situation of other members.

Lan Shan was sleeping deeply, snoring gradually, and he was obviously in a deep sleep state. This showed that Lan Shan was usually surrounded by teammates to help him, so he could rest peacefully.

Relatively speaking, green tide sleepers have much lighter sleep, their breathing is steady and smooth, and they are in a state of light sleep. As long as there is the slightest disturbance from the outside world, they will wake up immediately.

As for Huang Bing... she built an ice crystal sphere around her body to protect herself. Ryan's perception could not penetrate the ice, so he could not "see" her situation.

The same goes for Qing Ling.

Ryan could only vaguely sense where Qing Ling was. As for what she was doing, what posture she was in at the moment, and what kind of expression she had on her face, she had no idea.

After briefly sensing the situation of his teammates, Ryan no longer paid too much attention. He divided his attention into two parts, mainly focusing on the perception of sword skills, and a small part was used for sensing and warning.

In this way, time passed little by little.

……

What surprised Ryan, Huang Bing and others.

Everyone guarded the eighth floor for more than 20 hours, and on the second night, no enemies appeared.

It seems that the eighth floor of the underground maze has become a restricted area, and no one dares to approach it.

Such a weird situation not only did not make Ryan, Huang Bing and others feel relaxed, but also made them more vigilant.

This brief calm before the storm is the most depressing.

The longer the enemy accumulates, the more violent it will be when it explodes.

Although knowing this, Ryan and others could only choose to stay in front of the entrance to the ninth floor. There was no other way - just in case the "Hanged Man" was lurking around and opened the door to the entrance while they were leaving. At the stone gate on the ninth floor, this special mission was a direct failure.

After a period of rest, the physical strength and energy of everyone in the Overturned Palace have been well restored.

Five people gathered in front of the stone gate and guarded it together.

There are only the last one or two hours left before the time limit of the day.

Although Ryan and others don't know why the palace master "Red Kite" set the time for this special mission to be one day, there must be her reason.

And this should also be related to the purpose of the Hanged Man.

In other words, no matter how patient the "Hanged Man" is, he will definitely take action within the last hour or two.

What Ryan and others need to do is to guard the last hour or so.

……

Outlying island, Santos City.

Nearly 23 hours have passed since the underground labyrinth was revealed.

Under the high-priced recruitment of the Santos royal family, almost all professionals went deep into the underground labyrinth.

There were a lot of people, at least hundreds of people.

Although most of them are only level one, and level three hero-level professionals only account for a small part, they are still terrifying.

Including professionals from the Santos royal family and the Libra Holy Cult, except for a small number who stayed behind, most of them also joined the crusade against the monsters in the underground labyrinth.

Among them, there is bloodshed and sacrifice, and naturally there are gains.

The underground labyrinth that has been sealed in dust for hundreds of years has a terrifying amount of resources.

Many monsters and magic plants that are rare in the outside world cannot be said to be everywhere inside, but they are not uncommon either.

Santos City, central area, royal palace.

Waterdrop Princess Ariel moved lightly and arrived at the deepest part of the palace.

This is a forbidden place that no one knows about, built by herself.

A faint shimmer emitted from the luminous pearls inlaid on the wall.

There was a touch of blood on the ground, and in the center of the room, a strange tree about three meters high with an enchanting blood color grew.

The roots of the trees extend to every corner of the blood pool, glowing faintly, as if they are breathing rhythmically.

The Water Drop Princess Ariel walks on the blood pool. Every step she takes will form a liquid lotus to support her body.

She walked under the tree, lowered her head, and looked at the ice coffin made of ice crystals in front of her, with a complicated look in her eyes.

A few seconds later, Water Drop Princess Ai Rui turned her head, looked at the blood pool that was gradually rising in water, and said softly: "It's almost...please wait a moment..."

"This is our agreement, and I will definitely fulfill it!"

…    Underground maze, eighth floor.

Ryan, who was meditating, suddenly noticed something was wrong.

It wasn't that there was any noise, but the spirituality in the environment suddenly became colder, giving people the feeling of being in the coldest month of winter.

Ryan opened his eyes for the first time. At the same time, Huang Bing, who was not far from him, noticed something strange and stood up. The strong spirituality and magic were mixed together, centering on her body, radiating to all sides. Come, and in an instant, the entire hall turns into a world of ice crystals.

During the waiting period, everyone in the Overturned Palace did nothing.

This "frost field" is a "special array" that Huang Bing laid out several base points in advance and then intertwined and connected them.

Being in it, Huang Bing's combat effectiveness can be greatly improved, and she marked Ryan and others in advance, so the low temperature here will not have any impact on them.

Huang Bing's "frost realm" immediately alarmed Green Wave, Qing Ling and Lan Shan.

The three of them are weak because they haven't sensed anything yet, but this does not prevent them from entering combat status immediately.

Ryan raised his hand, grasped the hilt of the sword behind him, and stared at the exit of the passage in the distance.

There is the only entrance to the upper labyrinth passage.

Under everyone's gaze, a drop of viscous black liquid appeared above the edge of the cave, then stretched and fell.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and black mud splashed down. This sound was like the first domino toppled, triggering a violent chain reaction.

A large amount of black mud rushed in from the passage like a raging wave. Not only that, black mud also began to drip from the rock wall of the ceiling.

Huang Bing's eyes changed slightly. She knelt down halfway and pressed one hand on the ground. In the next moment, the "Frost Realm" bloomed with bright brilliance, forcibly stopping the falling and incoming black mud outside the stone door.

The surging black mud that gathered into a ball was like a ferocious monster, twisting and roaring violently. Soon, the "Frost Domain" was suppressed and retreated step by step. It was not until both sides occupied half of the hall that it began to ease.

The black mud that gradually subsided began to condense, forming a black mud pool, and in the center of the mud pool, stood a skeleton altar.

On the black inverted cross, the "Hanged Man" slowly raised his head, and the blood-red eyes behind the layers of hair fell on the leaders Ryan and Huang Bing, and uttered a penetrating deep voice:

"It's still too late for you to leave now..."

Ryan and others did not speak.

There is only the last hour left before the mission deadline. At this time, how can it be possible to withdraw just because of a word from the enemy?

The Hanged Man didn't care that he didn't get a response, or he didn't expect Ryan and others to give way obediently from the beginning.

Veins as dark as ink spread outward from the skeleton altar, and then dozens of figures slowly rose above the black mud.

It was not a human being, but some kind of deformed monster similar to a dog.

They roared and charged towards Ryan and the others.

"Bang bang..."

The moment they rushed into the "frost realm", the body surface of these deformed black dogs was covered with a light layer of white frost, causing their running speed to drop sharply.

Behind Ryan, Green Wave and Blue Mountain looked at each other, and they both launched a charge at the same time.

As the other two melee professionals in the team besides Ryan, they must take the lead at this time.

"Clang!"

The strong and burly Lan Shan, in the process of sprinting, kept tapping the mace in his left hand on the shield in his right hand, emitting bursts of special spiritual music, and the body of the deformed black dog affected by the music seemed to be out of control. Like this, he turned around and rushed towards the Blue Mountain.

——This is one of the third-level derivative professions of the "Soldier Path". [Shield Knight]'s signature skill, [Taunt], can not only improve its ability to resist attacks and resist knockback, but also forcefully "taunt" enemies within range. , causing it to only attack the Shield Knight during the duration of the skill.

Just as the second level of the "Vigil Path" is divided into shadow assassins and night knights, the main trunk of the path cannot be changed, but the details above have evolved slightly with the development of the times.

The methods of employment in these derived professions are only in the hands of a few people, and families with different characteristics have developed from this.

Of course, these are all for later.

As Lan Shan's [Taunt] skill was fully activated, all the deformed black dogs rushed towards him. The individual strength of these deformed black dogs was not strong. At best, it was between the second and third levels. space, but there are too many to support it.

Lanshan alone can't hold on for long before he will be torn to pieces by these deformed black dogs.

Fortunately, Blue Mountain is not fighting alone.

Green Chao and Qing Ling are fighting alongside him.

There is Blue Mountain to attract hatred, and Green Wave's "Chao Hai Great Sword Technique" is called Qingtu's magical skill. Every time the big sword is swung, it can take away two or three deformed black dogs. Although Qing Ling's efficiency is not as good as Green Wave's So high, then she would guard the edge of the Blue Mountain. Whenever a deformed black dog wanted to sneak attack on the Blue Mountain from behind, she would kill it with her own hands.

Ryan and Huang Bing did not move.

The two of them observed the "Hanged Man" on the skeleton altar, their eyes full of solemnity.

Under their gaze, there was a "tearing" sound, and the straps binding the "Hanged Man" to the inverted cross suddenly broke.

The "Hanged Man" continued to fall with his head on the ground. When he was about to hit the ground, his hands hung down to support his body as his feet, while his legs stretched out to both sides to look like hands.

"Crack...knock..."

Amidst the deafening sound of bones twisting, the "Hanged Man" turned around in a strange posture.

The "head" below is not his head, he, no, it should be more appropriately described.

Its head was prominently located where its buttocks were originally.

The "Hanged Man" that had just landed stretched its body. In the process, the skeleton altar behind it began to melt and become smaller like black wax under high temperatures. Finally, it formed a handle that was inserted into the ground and made entirely of bones. The alien giant sword.

The hand stretched out from the tattered sleeve was as dry as firewood and like a corpse. He gently held the giant skeletal sword. Bloody flames ignited in the eyes of the "Hanged Man".

"Boom--!"

Like a thunder that exploded on the ground, the body of the "Hanged Man" revealed his true body and disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Huang Bing.

"Thorn-"

The giant skeletal sword slashed downwards, swallowing the cold wind, which stung Huang Bing's skin and made the hairs stand on end.

The terrifying and gloomy spirituality is dense on the giant sword. This spirituality is so powerful that it even faintly exceeds the limit of the third level.

When the crisis struck, Huang Bing's eyes were still frightened.

An icy blue light flashed across her pupils, and a cluster of icicles rose rapidly from the ground, colliding hard with the slashing skeleton sword.

"boom!"

The ice crystals exploded, and under the attack of the giant skeleton sword, the icicles shattered inch by inch, making them vulnerable to a single blow.

However, the existence of icicles also hindered the falling speed of some giant skeleton swords. Taking this opportunity, Huang Bing quickly pulled away.

The blood-red eyes of "The Hanged Man" followed Huang Bing's body and followed closely. But as soon as it took a step, large ice pillars exploded from the seemingly normal ground, like ice flowers blooming on the ground. , fixing the "Hanged Man"'s body in place.

At this time, Huang Bing, who seemed to be retreating, raised her hand and pointed her palm at the "Hanged Man". With the blessing of the "Frost Domain", an ice-blue, rolling ice ball quickly condensed in front of her palm. liquid sphere.

"go with!"

With a soft drink, Huang Bing pushed his palm forward, and the ice-blue liquid sphere flew out. In an instant, he arrived in front of the "Hanged Man".

The skeleton sword in the hand of "The Hanged Man" rose up, trying to intercept the attack in the air, but the ice blue liquid sphere exploded before the skeleton sword could touch it.

The violent cold current swept across all directions, and even the air was frozen into ice wherever it passed. The "Hanged Man" who bore the brunt was naturally unable to survive. In the cold current, he turned into a lifelike ice sculpture.

Not far away, Huang Bing took a breath. A series of attacks seemed simple and casual, but in fact, each attack required a lot of her concentration, spirituality and magic power.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the blurry black shadow reflected on the ice crystal ground, and Huang Bing's eyes changed suddenly.

The figure of the "Hanged Man" in the ice crystal melted into black mud, and behind Huang Bing, the "Hanged Man" suddenly appeared. The giant skeletal sword in his hand, wrapped with huge spirituality and strength, was slashed down.

"boom!"

At the critical moment, Huang Bing controlled his magic power to form a diamond-shaped square shield, blocking the blow of the giant skeleton sword. But how could the ice shield condensed in a hurry block this powerful and heavy sword?

The ice shield shattered, and after a slight pause, the giant skeletal sword continued to slash towards Huang Bing unabated.

The gradually enlarging giant skeletal sword was reflected in his pupils, and Huang Bing's pupils shrank into a pinpoint shape.

Can't escape!

At the critical moment, a black and yellow sword came from the side and missed the giant skeleton sword.

Huang Bing felt his body light up, and his whole body was pulled by a warm and strong hand, flying backward.

The sight of her back appeared in front of her, making her feel safe, and her heart beat with an inexplicable feeling.

The friction between the black and yellow sword and the skeleton sword caused a large number of sparks to explode. When their eyes met, Ryan grinned slightly, and the fighting spirit rose in his eyes.

"You just stand out from a distance in a team battle? How don't you take me as a front-line person in your eyes..."

The increasingly huge and turbulent black spirituality rose from the "Hanged Man", forming substantial spiritual pressure and spreading in all directions.

The war is about to break out!
