Chapter 168 The top of the sacred tree, the battle of the Dark Night Lord Dragon

[Goal 1 of the second link: Arrive at the resort on Hawaii Island and learn about the sacred tree from the village chief.]

In Car No. 15 of the Sea Train, five people from the Weird Guild were sitting at a square dining table. They had finished breakfast and were tasting desserts while chatting about their future plans.

"Tell me, am I the only one here who has never been to Hawaii?" Anson Deer took a bite of the salad.

"I haven't been here either." Yuri turned the pages of the book.

"Please, of course you have to use your travel voucher to visit such a holy resort. I called you before, but you didn't know where you went." Asuka said contemptuously.

"We adults are very busy." Ansonlu said perfunctorily.

He seemed to remember that Asuka told him about this. During the third and fourth rounds of dungeons, Asuka asked him to go to Hawaii, but at that time he was busy investigating the principal's affairs and had no time to pay attention to others.

"You have just turned eighteen and you are qualified to call yourself an adult?"

"Otherwise?" Anson Deer said, "So Crow, have you ever been to Hawaii?"

"I have a friend in the gambling industry in Hawaii. He lives in seclusion, but his gambling skills are still as superb as ever, so I often come here to compete with him." Qi Yuanlu smiled.

"Oh, what about you, Teacher Chu?" An Senlu looked at the silent Chu Qimo.

"My master lives in Hawaii. I come to see him every six months to show him my progress in swordsmanship." Chu Qimo took a sip of tea and said calmly.

An Senlu remembered that Chu Qimo said that his master was a descendant of Huashan. He had adopted Chu Qimo since he was young and taught him swordsmanship day after day. Although it sounded nonsense, it might be true.

"That's it." Ansonlu stretched, "Anyway, we've eaten our food, let's go."

"Lu Jun, before that, didn't you say you had something to discuss with me alone?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, we need to discuss it first."

"You two are indeed gay, right?" Asuka Uesugi drank the milk in one gulp and said disdainfully.

The two ignored Asuka and just came to a corner of the restaurant car, leaning against the wall and talking in low voices.

Yuri raised his eyes from the book and quietly stared at the silhouettes of Ansenlu and Qi Yuanlu.

When she was playing chess with Ansenlu in the principal's office, she asked Ansenlu about the "principal", but he didn't answer and just said that he had his own reasons.

At that time, on the night of the fourth round of dungeons, when Anson Deer called her on the phone at a hotel in Tokyo, it was the first time she heard Anson Deer's voice collapse, and it was the first time she saw him look so fragile.

Obviously this person has always been so strong, mysterious, and unshakable by the outside world.

But at that moment, Ansonlu was like a child who had let go of all his defenses, unreservedly pouring out his suppressed emotions to her, saying that he missed the person he called the 'principal' so much.

Combining various facts, even she can see that the principal of Shangshi High School is a very important person to Ansonlu.

But Ansonlu didn't mention anything about the principal in front of her.

But he only concealed this matter.

Therefore, Yuri didn't think too much, he just looked away and continued to read the words in the book.

"The principal sent you a scheduled email two months ago." Qi Yuanlu concluded, "He said that in the fifth round of dungeons, you will fight yourself in the parallel world?"

"That's right." An Senlu shrugged, "And, the key thing is... the principal himself has experienced this incident, and he is evenly matched with himself in the parallel world."

"According to this statement, isn't this an opportunity to test your strength, Mr. Lu?" Qi Yuanlu raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, as long as I can win the game in the gladiatorial arena, it means that at least at this point in the fifth copy, I am stronger than the principal at that time." Ansondeer shook his stiff fingers.

"Yes, the principal should also want to see... you accomplish what he failed to accomplish."

"That stinky old man didn't send this email to provoke me. What is he going to do? I will definitely kill him to pieces."

"You are really full of fighting spirit, Mr. Lu, I feel relieved now."

"Let's go..." Ansonlu left the carriage, walked down the stairs, and stepped on the dark beach, "Let's not talk about the third part for now, the second part seems to be boring enough."

"So, why is the beach black?" He asked casually, looking down at the beach.

"The molten lava produced after the eruption of Kilauea volcano poured hot into the cold sea water. The molten lava was pushed by the passing waves and continuously impacted the rocks and reefs, gradually forming a black beach." Urushihara.

Law said slowly.

"Oh, you are indeed a classmate of Crow." Ansenlu recognized Crow's erudition.

"I just heard a little bit about it."

In contrast to the strong color of the black sand, the waves appear particularly dynamic. The reciprocating waves crash against the dark beach, as if soothing this dead, scorched earth.

From time to time, the cry of seagulls can be heard from the sky, bringing some coolness and vitality to the scorched earth.

"It's quite different from the Hawaii in my impression." Asuka stepped out of the car and stared at the giant tree built in the crater.

"It seems that the game system has made some adjustments to the terrain for the operation of the dungeon." Chu Qimo said.

"We are playing the role of the crew of the Rescue Ship in this dungeon. It seems that we have to listen to the villagers' requests for help." Ansenlu said helplessly, "So, we have to find nearby villages and towns first."

Yuri used the method Anson Deer taught her to navigate on the map and find the location of the resort. She raised her head and looked around, her clear eyes stopping at the resort at the end of the forest, "That direction."

"Go." Anson Deer took the lead in moving.

Twenty minutes later, Hawaii resort.

In this resort, Ansonlu couldn't see a single figure, and every house had its doors closed. When he passed by the beach villas, he would take a look to see who was inside, but he only saw some NPCs with stiff faces.

"Sure enough, the villagers are all NPCs." Ansenlu spread his hands.

Soon, an old man wearing a floral shirt and carrying a cane came from the other end of the village.

"I have heard of your name. You are the crew members of the rescue ship. You are drifting in the sea and specialize in saving islands where extradimensional events occur. I am the village chief here and I need your help." The old man said in an old voice.

"Good RPG lines." Ansonlu narrowed his eyes, "So, what help do you need?"

"A month ago, the gods appeared on our island and brought this sacred tree. According to the gods, only by entering the high-dimensional arena at the top of the sacred tree and winning a battle in the arena can we win.

Get its approval." The village chief coughed: "In this way, we have a chance to make this sacred tree disappear completely."

"Oh, in short, we want to go to the top of the sacred tree and enter the arena?"

"That's right." The village chief sighed, "If this sacred tree is not destroyed as soon as possible, it will absorb the lava from the volcano, and one day in the future, it will erupt with violent human energy and level our village to the ground."

"Okay, let's leave it to our rescue crews—Xiao Lu, Xiao Xiang, Xiao Rui, and Xiao Mo." An Senlu patted his chest.

"President, please don't act awkward." Chu Qimo said calmly.

"You didn't say a word about yourself!" Asuka complained.

"By the way, the brave men of the rescue ship, when God created the sacred tree, he also created a dark giant dragon. That dragon will protect the sacred tree and prevent any outsiders from approaching." The village chief said tremblingly,

"Because of this, no one of us can get close to the arena on the top of the tree during this month, so we can only ask you for help."

"Just kill it?" Anson Deer confirmed to him.

"Yes." The village chief lowered his head.

"This makes the idea clear." Ansenlu nodded and looked at the four people behind him: "Did you hear that, the crew of the rescue ship shouted our slogan - kill the black dragon, overturn the gladiatorial arena, and destroy the sacred tree!

"

[The goal of the second stage has been updated - kill the black dragon and approach the arena at the top of the sacred tree. 】

"Who gave you the rescue number?" Asuka held her forehead, she was almost turned off by the name.

"Asuka-san, girls who swear can't get married," Chu Qimo reminded.

"The earth is going to be destroyed, and I can't get married yet. Besides, it's enough for me to be alone." Asuka hugged her shoulders and snorted coldly.

At this time, Yuri raised his head and looked at the other end of the crater. The huge black dragon mentioned by the village chief was located at a height of about 600 meters in the lower part of the sacred tree, resting on a huge branch.

The width of the branch is exaggerated, and it can carry at least two or three football fields. It is more than enough to stop the giant dragon. Compared with the sacred tree, the figure of this dragon is extremely small, like a grain in the desert.

dust.

"How do we get up there?" she asked emotionlessly.

"My sleigh can seat two people." Anson Deer spoke first.

"I allow two people to stand on my back." Asuka pouted.

"I can create an ice surface, but it consumes too much mana, and I won't have much combat power when I get up there." The Icelandic girl said.

"Miss Yuri and I are in the same situation. Mr. Lu, the crow I created will disappear after flying a certain distance. It consumes too much mana for me to use my skills to travel." Qi Yuanlu spread his hands.

At this time, they looked at the last person who had not spoken.

Chu Qimo shrugged his shoulders and responded honestly: "I don't have the ability to fly. It's up to you to arrange it."

"Can you please stop persecuting Teacher Chu?" An Senlu put his hand on Chu Qimo's shoulder, "Isn't it embarrassing to not have the ability to fly? Isn't it the only person in the union who can't fly? What's there to be embarrassed about? Shuye

It’s good to specialize.”

When he said this, Asuka smiled and said angrily:

"Please, who is persecuting Teacher Chu?"

"President, I also think you are the one who has the biggest opinions on me." Chu Qimo said deeply.

"Agree." Asuka nodded.

"Please, fellow flight attendants, please stop talking nonsense, finish the dungeon as soon as possible, and go back for vacation as soon as possible." Anson Deer changed the subject and called for the Christmas sleigh in his heart.

"Yo——"

There was a soft cry from the other side of the sky, and two elk dragging sleds galloped over. Lightning splashed between their hooves, shaking away the dense gray mist.

"I think we can try to avoid the black dragon first and approach the arena secretly." Anson Deer said without thinking, "If that fails, then we can fight it head-on."

"Deer-kun, in my opinion, it is impossible to avoid that dragon." Urushihara put his hand on his chin and thought for half a second, "Besides, fighting at a higher place is not good for us.

On the contrary, it is even more disadvantageous."

"Step by step is the safest way." Chu Qimo agreed.

"That seems to be the case." Ansonlu scratched his hair, "Then let's just kill the black dragon at a height closer to the ground."

"So, who are you going to follow?" Uesugi Asuka put her hands on her hips and frowned slightly.

"I'll just stay with Miss Asuka." Teacher Chu said.

"Okay, okay, but can you please stop calling me Miss Asuka, Asuka is fine." Asuka said helplessly.

"This is not etiquette." Chu Qimo said calmly.

Asuka exhaled, "Please, where are you from as a primitive person? Did you become stupid while practicing swordplay with your master in Huashan Mountain?"

Chu Qimo defended himself: "I only practiced swordsmanship in Huashan Mountain before I was ten years old, and traveled around the world with my master after I was ten years old. I have not practiced in a closed way since I was a child. Please don't misunderstand me."

"Then you're just an idiot." Asuka added.

"What about you, Crow?" Ansenlu ignored these two people and looked at Qi Yuanlu.

"I am the same as Chu Qimo." Qi Yuanlu said calmly, "Lu Jun, with your strength, we naturally don't have to worry, but my skills can be used to ensure the safety of Mingrixiang and Chu Qimo."

"Okay." Ansonlu thought that what this guy said was quite reasonable and he couldn't refute it.

He turned around. While the four of them were talking, Yuri quietly sat down on the sled. She was playing with her phone with her head down, and the screen showed the system's built-in game "Mine Sweeper".

As if imitating Anson Deer, this Icelandic girl will also play Minesweeper for a while on her mobile phone when she has no books at hand. Moreover, she also likes to borrow Anson Deer's mobile phone.

However, what is different from Anson Deer is that she even plays this kind of puzzle game very seriously and passes the basic game.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sun was shining brightly and the mist between the volcano and the sacred tree was not that strong, Asuka Uesugi moved forward, unfolded her dragon wings, and her beautiful cheeks were gradually covered with layers of scales.

A few seconds later, a crimson dragon descended on Hawaii Island.

Under the scorching sun, the red dragon's eyebrows curved slightly, as if it was frowning. It snorted coldly and reluctantly spread one of its wings, allowing Chu Qimo and Qi Yuanlu to stand on its thick legs.

on the shoulders.

Seeing this, Anson Deer also sat down in the Christmas sleigh with peace of mind. He glanced at Yuri next to his shoulder and looked at the minesweeper record she had just typed - 29.05 seconds.

"Is this a record for intermediate difficulty?" Anson Deer asked casually.

"advanced."

"Uh, you wouldn't just break the world record casually, would you?" Anson Deer said in surprise.

He remembered that the official world record for advanced mine clearance was 33.95 seconds, and Yuri's record was 29.05 seconds, which was a full 4 seconds faster than the world record. Can he only call this a genius?

"I wrote down the formula and saved the calculation process."

"As expected of you." Ansonlu was speechless. He thought about people who have a photographic memory. It's really easy to play any game.

"I just want to know what you usually play."

"Very good, you have successfully frustrated my self-esteem. Is this the genius girl from Iceland with super syndrome?"

"Liar." Yuri flipped through the historical clearance records on his phone, his face expressionless, "The highest record on your phone is 24 seconds, which is 8 seconds faster than the world record."

"I must have pressed it randomly. Haven't you seen that I usually struggle to play on the intermediate difficulty level?"

"The record of random pressing," she paused, "is 8 seconds faster than the world record?"

"Sometimes this happens."

"Forget it." Yuri tilted his cheek and returned the phone to him.

"You are already very powerful, classmate Yuri." Ansenlu sighed. He knew that Yuri was inexplicably competitive, especially towards him. Others had never seen her compete like this.

"Hey, have you had enough chatting?!" Red Dragon, who had already spread his wings and was flying in the sky, asked in a deep voice.

"That's enough, that's enough. I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet." Ansonlu clicked his tongue. If he continued chatting, he would have to fight two bosses later - a red dragon and a black dragon.

"The Christmas sleigh, take me to the top of the sacred tree." Anson Deer raised his eyes and looked at the giant dragon in the sky, "Get closer to the black dragon and keep your voice as low as possible."

"Yo——" The two reindeer stepped on the thunder light, dragged the sled hard into the air, and rushed out towards the top of the sacred tree, with a speed no less than that of a helicopter.

"Mine sweeper."

"What?" Anson Deer turned his head, his eyes hurting from the wind.

"Next time, teach me how to play." Yuri's snow-white hair was blown by the wind in the air.

"I have to teach you this. If you don't teach me, forget it." Ansonlu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll show you how I came up with that record next time."

The Christmas sleigh swept up the sacred tree like a crimson bird flying across the sky, passing through countless twisted and huge branches, and in an instant it had reached 600 meters of the sacred tree.

There, there lived a giant dark dragon with a length of more than twelve meters. It suddenly raised its scarlet pupils and caught the uninvited guests from the island.

[Boss name: Dark Night Lord Dragon (young body)]

[Boss level: level 27]

[Boss kill reward:???]

[Boss killing difficulty:???]

[Attention, we are about to enter a very difficult Boss crusade. Please be alert and prepared. Once the battle begins, the Dark Night King Dragon will do its best to chase its enemies to the other side of the world!

!!]

"Go all out." Ansonlu raised his lips, "It looks quite fun."

The next moment, the sled landed at the end of the branch, and the Anson deer fell from the sled. Just at that moment, a scarlet dragon flew over with its wings spread, and slowly closed down and landed next to him.

Chu Qimo and Qi Yuanlu fell from Honglong's shoulders, and Yuri slowly took his feet out of the sled and stood on the branch.

"Chess field."

The young man took a deep breath, and the ice chessboard unfolded along the branches, covering the black dragon that was still lying on the ground. In an instant, the Dark Night King Dragon was completely furious.
