Abnormal paradise

As a core member of the Giant Tree Research Institute, Thorns is a game character with independent intelligence. If you only want to take it away, it would be a waste. It just so happens that the Six-Eyed Preacher's ability to confuse is a special skill that makes him settle down. There was no way to resist, and he easily fell into the old magic stick's way, saying all the things that should be said and shouldn't be said, and also letting Yu Yan hold the opponent's life tightly, not afraid that she would suddenly regret it.

Of course, another important reason why we didn’t kill the opponent immediately was that the drops in the current copy were really unsatisfactory. We killed nearly a hundred monsters one after another, and ended up with a blood vine product on the left and a blood vine core on the right. In addition, there are a bunch of treatment items that cannot be carried in the pocket, and delayed medicines that cannot be used immediately. The only things that can barely be seen are the strengthening material [Ombre Cloth] dropped by the Six-Eyed Preacher, and an unopened bottle of Primary treatment agent.

Fortunately, that nightmare challenge allowed his Dire Wolf gloves to be strengthened by totems, so that he would not lose a real improvement in combat power.

Ember didn't know that this situation would only appear in games with difficulty or above. All the efforts in the early stage were all to prepare for the rewards at the end of the assessment. After the wine got thicker, after cleaning the battlefield, in addition to getting another piece Complete blood rattan products can no longer be harvested.

As for the Crown of Thorns, not to mention, as the crystallization of Thorns' ability, only she could use it, but the existence of this item opened Ember's eyes.

…

【Crown of Thorns】(Description)

Introduction: Ability crystals are the innate companion items of reality warpers and will grow as the reality warpers improve.

…

The properties of the Crown of Thorns made Ember understand why the Foundation and other major forces paid so much attention to reality benders. Not only does he have special abilities, but he also has some extra attributes than ordinary people. As the level continues to increase, the gap between the two sides will only become wider and wider. It’s no wonder that Thorns is so arrogant. He doesn’t even think about how it is possible for Ember and others. Continue to stay in the courtyard.

The stronger you are, the more you like to speak with your strength. If you are too lazy to use your brain, you will naturally be plotted by those who are good at using your brain.

Ember just made one more twist in his mind, and settled the victory with an ambush. As for the follow-up counterattack from the Giant Tree Research Institute, it was easily resolved. It didn't matter that Ember couldn't even level up, because the six-eyed mad believer had already summoned When he came out, he was blocking the front, which was the strongest barrier. Ember only had to hold up his arm shield to withstand the aftermath of the explosion, and the difficulty was minimal.

The entire battle, from the outbreak to the end, took less than ten seconds, and Yan Yan used two ambush plans to settle the battle. This made Jingjing, who had escaped from serious injuries and regained his mobility, regretful, but his own ability crystallization and blood vine products , all fell into the hands of the opponent, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, leaving no room for resistance. At this point, she could only act as a guide, guiding the path for Huan Yan and others.

boom! boom! boom!

The battle in front of the Temple of the Sun is still in full swing. After this period of fierce bombardment, the ground in front of the temple was in a mess, and several stone pillars collapsed. However, it did not cause a chain reaction, showing how strong the temple was. It was beyond imagination. At least Yuan Yan didn't have to worry about them being killed by shelling when they were about to sneak into the temple.

Relying on the special identity of Thorns, the process of sneaking in, which may be somewhat troublesome, has become extremely simple. As the embers and the glass of wine grew thicker, they did not even have to hide their identities. They were led by Thorns and bypassed the outer defense line of the Giant Tree Research Institute in a majestic manner. , arriving at a secret stronghold somewhere on the edge of the battlefield. Among the strongholds, there is an underground secret passage that leads directly to the interior of the temple. This is a secret shortcut discovered by Thorns through the temple structure map. In order to avoid arousing Qiao Mu's suspicion, Thorns only sent two confidants to secretly guard nearby.

Therefore, even without Thorns leading the way, it would not be difficult for Yu Yan and others to enter the secret passage. After walking half a circle under the leadership of Thorns, Yi Jin also discovered that this place was located behind the temple. Both the giant tree research institute and the patrol guards could not Not much combat power has been invested, so even if the key information cannot be obtained from Thorns, Ember will try to break out from here and kill Thorns' henchmen, thereby discovering the existence of a shortcut, which is at least a logical thing.

However, Ember felt that even if no shortcut was found, or there was no shortcut at all, there must be other routes that would allow them to enter the Sun Temple.

After all, no one knows what will happen when the door of the Temple of the Sun is blasted open by artillery. Is there no other powerful existence inside the temple except those two wise men?

Ember was skeptical about this. The deeper he explored, the more he felt that there were many clues that could be used or yet to be discovered.

For example, when they moved the corpse nest, they did not choose to destroy the blood vessels of the corpse nest, but used matches on the witch. What would happen?

Another example is why there are secret passages under the ruins. One can break through the blockade, and the other can go straight to the temple. This reminds Yi Yan of the disparity in the endings of the two temples again. He has a feeling that there are some secret passages that they don't know about. The inside story.

In addition, when a match is used to awaken the Six-Eyed Preacher, a special reminder appears. When the following time runs out, an unknown event will be triggered. So what impact will such an unknown event have on the subsequent direction?

In the dark tunnel, the Six-Eyed Preacher used soft white light to dispel the darkness and pointed out the way forward for everyone. The embers allowed the thorns to lead the way and raised the questions that had just arisen in their hearts.

"When you launched the general attack, didn't you think about any accidents? What if a powerful person appeared in the Temple of the Sun?"

"We have no time. The restriction ability of the Life Zone is recovering rapidly. Qiao Mu realized that he could not stay for too long, so he decided to make a desperate move." Although Thorns was a little unwilling, he still told the truth, "In order to achieve Qiao Mu's purpose, The Giant Tree Research Institute invested massive resources, and if it failed in the end, it would even affect the Giant Tree Research Institute's core position in the Wasteland Group, so he chose to take the risk and enter the Staircase of the Sun to find a decisive battle with the Gardener."

"It turns out that I was forced to panic!"

Ember suddenly realized: "But no matter how desperate he is, he is destined to fail. The secret of the Sun Staircase has been hidden, and the empire's treasure house has been exhausted. Even if he captures the Sun Temple, how much profit can he get?"

"No! What you said is not the purpose of Arbor, or in other words, it is only part of it." Thorns snorted coldly, "He doesn't want to know what the existence of the Sun Staircase means. He just wants to know how to build the Staircase of Life and how to obtain it. The original blood of the gardener.”

"Huh? Why?"

Thorns' words made Ember and others a little curious. When they came to the Life Forbidden Zone, they didn't plan for the Stairs to the Sun. Instead, they focused on the construction method of the Life Forbidden Zone? He is worthy of being a Frankenstein, his ideas are so clear and strange that ordinary people cannot fathom them.

"By personally experiencing the Life Forbidden Zone, he imagined a way for the wasteland world to survive the end of the world." Thorns paused, fear flashed in his eyes, "He hopes to obtain the construction method of the Life Forbidden Zone, and then improve it to make the Zone Not only can the scope include the entire wasteland world, but it can also adjust the strength of the ban at any time. If the gardener's original bloodline is obtained, follow-up plans can be launched based on the characteristics of the blood vine. However, he did not make it clear to me because I became a core member not long ago. I still can’t gain his absolute trust.”

Hearing this, the embers and the glass of wine gradually became thicker, but they once again lamented Frankenstein's big brain. Little Bob said angrily: "This is wishful thinking! What is he going to do? Does he want to help the wasteland world survive the end of the world? Want to take advantage of this opportunity to make money? Or directly become a modern emperor?"

"How can ordinary people like us understand a genius's idea?"

Thorns looked back at Little Bob with a mocking smile: "Your father can barely be regarded as a genius, but he just lacks strength. After being influenced by it all day long, I never thought that you would be so angry at Qiao Mu's actions. It seems that you are also an ordinary person! "

Little Bob was furious, and Ember signaled him to calm down: "Why bother? Don't forget the purpose of our trip, which will also stop Qiao Mu's ambitions. Relax and prepare yourself, and wait until you finish exploring the Sun Temple." , let’s go face to face with the Arbor Gardener!”

After saying that, he threw the Crown of Thorns to the other party. The meaning was self-evident, forcing Thorns to close his mouth and continue to lead the way.

This hidden underground passage was not too long, so it didn't take long to reach the end. The path was still opened by thorns. After the embers, everyone filed out and successfully arrived at the room in the corner of the temple.
