Quadruple split

The light of the magic circle was extinguished. At the same time, the eyes of the majestic and stunning battle puppet in the center of the stone chamber also burst out with two blue lights. His arms shook, and the two giant swords hanging from the bottom of his back slid down. It fell steadily into its broad palm.

But after that, the battle puppet that wielded giant swords like a demon god did not kill the two people immediately. Not only that, the beast-like aura on it that chose people to eat was also much weaker than before.

Mo Tan, who was concentrating on keeping vigilant, heard a system prompt and quickly opened his taskbar...

[Passing the test of the Dragon King 3/5; reaching the deepest level of the tomb 0/1 (Note: This link is very different from your current strength. Please act with caution. It is recommended to significantly upgrade your level, equipment, and combat specialization before trying again. .)]

"I see."

Mo Tan was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully and put away the long sword in his hand, which surprised Ji Xiaoge who was still nervous and alert next to him.

However, out of trust in the former, the tense girl subconsciously relaxed, turned to Mo Tan and asked, "What's going on?"

"The system prompts me that I have just completed another test, and the progress has become 3/5."

Mo Tan didn't show off, and immediately explained his thoughts to Ji Xiaoge: "Do you still remember when I just left that illusion? The image No. 16 left by the Bosh Dragon King said that I passed The first test, but the actual mission progress is 0/5."

Ji Xiaoge will naturally not forget what happened just a few hours ago, and immediately nodded and said: "Remember, didn't you mention it to me at that time? What's wrong?"

"That's what happened. When we passed the knowledge and appearance test just now, my task progress was updated in real time. After finishing the paper, it became 1/5. After you blew up the mirror, it became 2/5, and Just now, after we temporarily turned off this magic circle that only leads to the vault for the first time, the mission progress was updated again."

Mo Tan tilted his chin and said to Ji Xiaoge, who was squinting his eyes and looking at the combat puppet from a distance: "So I came to a somewhat hindsight guess, that it was the first test set by Bosh, which included a total of three Each content must be completed in order to pass. Now it seems that they should be character, will and courage. The first two are what I experienced initially. As for courage, it is our decision to activate the test just now."

"Huh? Real or fake?"

Ji Xiaoge's understanding ability is very good, so he immediately understood what Mo Tan wanted to express, but he still felt a little unbelievable. He hesitated and said: "But this is too lax. The character and will in front of him are not bad. , I also think his design is pretty good, but courage...is this...a bit too far-fetched?"

Mo Tan nodded slightly and said softly: "You are right. After all, there were too many variables in the link just now, and the arrangement was not very rigorous. However, if you think about it from another angle, it may not be unreasonable."

"What angle?"

This time Ji Xiaoge failed to follow the train of thought.

"Bosh's physical condition."

Mo Tan sighed, spread his hands and said, "Do you still remember the first image we saw? Although it was just a recorded shadow, Bosh still felt very healthy at that time, at least for the two of us. There is no problem, but the image behind is..."

"It's becoming more and more obvious. Not to mention the final flashback, when he appeared for the second to last time, it seemed as if he might rush to the street at any time."

Ji Xiaoge nodded vigorously and pondered: "So you are saying that Bosh's physical deterioration is much more serious than he imagined, so much so that he no longer has time to pay attention to the details when arranging the final test?"

"It's just speculation."

Mo Tan did not give a definite conclusion, but calmly analyzed: "But the possibility of this guess is not low. The test just now, which was probably related to courage, gave people the feeling that they would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than anything else. I missed one."

Ji Xiaoge shook his ankle-length, dazzling long hair, and suddenly smiled: "Whatever, I think your guess is pretty reliable anyway, and no matter what, that thing doesn't Rush up and chop us to death as soon as possible, and the magic circle at the door can be restarted at any time, which can be said to be the best result."

"Also, maybe it's just my misunderstanding. The feeling of oppression exuded by that 'battle puppet' seems to be much smaller than before."

Mo Tan also imitated Ji Xiaoge and squinted his eyes, taking a closer look at the man-made object not far away that was obviously turned on, and said uncertainly: "And if my judgment just now is not wrong, then after passing the test of courage, After the test, the battle puppet not only suppressed its strength, but may not even kill the person being tested, but simply prevented us from passing through the door behind it. You step back a little, and I will go up and give it a try."

"Wow, are you serious? Are you sure?"

"Seriously, but I'm not sure at all."

"Hello……"

Ji Xiaoge raised his eyes and stared at Mo Tan.

"After all, it's just a guess. We don't have many choices anyway, and you also care about that voice just now, right?" Mo Tan smiled, grasped the Mandala of Justice again, and walked forward cautiously while calmly Said: "If you want to find out what's going on, you have to test it no matter what."

"Hey you……"

Ji Xiaoge frowned, but in the end he didn't run up to stop Mo Tan. He just silently took out the Catalin Valkyrie from his bag, filled the rice, knelt on the ground and steadily aimed at the battle puppet.

One step, two steps...

Mo Tan stared at the puppet and moved with difficulty. His heart was getting colder and colder, because the closer he got to this thing, the greater the pressure he felt. He had every reason to believe that if it weren't for the two The person has just passed what may be a test of courage, and the pressure of the thing in front of him is enough to clear his physical fitness level to zero on this journey.

Twenty-five meters...twenty meters...fifteen meters...

Mo Tan walked vigilantly in this extremely wide stone room, his forehead and palms covered with sweat, but the battle puppet in front of him, which was becoming more and more terrifying in his eyes, remained motionless.

[Is it broken? 】

The current personality of Mo Tan also has this kind of luck mentality, but he just doesn't rely on it.

Thirteen meters...twelve meters...eleven meters...

"ah!!"

Ji Xiaoge in the distance suddenly exclaimed, "Be careful! It doesn't..."

Boom——

The huge dark red sword blade was gently placed on Mo Tan's left shoulder. The battle puppet that seemed to be on standby just now actually appeared behind Mo Tan across a distance of ten meters in one second, and completely separated before appearing. The sight of the two of them did not reveal itself until the ferocious-looking weapon in his hand was placed on the side of Mo Tan's neck.

"See you..."

Ji Xiaoge finished what she just said in a daze, her whole body was frozen, but she still wisely did not choose to shoot indiscriminately, because judging from the appearance of the battle puppet, it seemed that she did not want to kill Mo Tan. Meaning, in fact, if it really had murderous intentions, Mo Tan's head would definitely fall off faster than Ji Xiaoge's reaction speed.

"Don't panic! I must have guessed it right! It didn't intend to kill me!"

Mo Tan immediately pulled his neck and shouted, then took a step back stiffly, letting the huge sword blade leave the side of his neck.

The battle puppet did not react, but the two pairs of blue eyes were staring at Mo Tan.

Mo Tan took another step back...two steps...three steps...then paused, and quickly jumped towards the stone door in front of him on the left——

【Crazy rush】!

Bang! ! !

Before Ji Xiaoge could see clearly what was going on, he felt his eyes blurred. When he came back to his senses, Mo Tan smashed down from mid-air and rolled all the way to his feet driven by inertia.

But the battle puppet returned to the place where it stood before at some unknown time, with its sword edge lowered and motionless.

"Well, how are you feeling now? Are you okay?"

Ji Xiaoge quickly threw Catlin aside and hurriedly helped Mo Tan up.

"In an instant, three punches and one kick knocked out 40% of my health. I feel a little bad, but it's nothing wrong."

Mo Tan poured himself a bottle of healing potion, clutched his sore chest and said with lingering fear: "Obviously it really doesn't want to kill the person being tested, at least... well, it will stay on the premise that it can prevent the other person from approaching the stone door. There’s room.”

Ji Xiaoge nodded: "Then do you think there is hope for us to get through?"

Mo Tan leaned against the wall and took a few breaths, then shook his head with a really ugly look on his face: "There is no hope...the gap is too big."

"Well, then you should rest first and I'll go take a look."

Ji Xiaoge was not very upset after hearing Mo Tan's conclusion. Instead, after patting the latter's shoulder, he suddenly fluttered his wings and flew straight towards the battle puppet who had just beaten Mo Tan.

"what are you doing!"

Mo Tan was shocked at that time, and immediately shouted: "Come back quickly, you can't beat it!"

"You don't have to say it."

Ji Xiaoge said without looking back, and then he made an emergency stop in the air, but he stopped steadily ten meters away from the battle puppet, which happened to be stuck where the opponent did not make a move when Mo Tan approached. At the extreme distance, he smiled and said: "I just want to take a good look at this thing."

Mo Tan was puzzled and asked hurriedly: "What are you looking at?"

"Don't interrupt, I haven't seen it yet."

Ji Xiaoge, however, waved his little hand, wandering around in the air for a long time, and finally fell back to the ground, staring hard at the battle puppet in front of him, as if he wanted to be as focused as possible.

Mo Tan was also very obedient and did not interrupt again. After taking a breath, he quickly felt Ji Xiaoge's side, holding his sword at her side to keep watch.

He knew that this girl would never do anything meaningless at such a critical moment. Combined with Ji Xiaoge's previous remarks that this thing looked familiar, he already had some speculations in his mind, but what concerned him even more However, this majestic puppet, which made him feel suffocated just by being close to it, actually had no effect on Ji Xiaoge.

[Is it some kind of immunity effect? 】

Mo Tan was guarding Ji Xiaoge vigilantly while thinking.

But this time he thought too much. The reason why Ji Xiaoge was not affected by this puppet was actually very simple. It was simply because the girl's absolute strength was too weak.

It is the same as fighting against those fortified martial arts masters in novels. People with a certain level can see the extraordinaryness of a peerless master at a glance, and may even be frightened to the point of being unable to move by a look from the opponent. However, those selling skewers on the street may not be able to move. You can feel how powerful the martial arts leader and evil demon lord who is passing by the Da Ya Festival is.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, simple realm is not enough.

Although Ji Xiaoge is not a calf, his level of strength is not as good as the 'Mo' in front of him. Even the 'Hei Fan' who does not do his job all day long and is a priest but has not replenished his blood a few times is not as good as him. Naturally, I don't feel any pressure.

It was precisely because of this that she was able to calm down and observe the familiar thing in front of her.

Time flies by, five minutes later...

"Ah! Sure enough! I know what this is!!"

Ji Xiaoge suddenly exclaimed, startling Mo Tan, who was nervous next to him.

"what?"

After Mo Tan finished dancing, he immediately asked: "Have you really seen this thing?"

Ji Xiaoge smiled and waved his scissor hands playfully: "I don't think I've seen it before, but I saw the drawings of this thing when I was helping the teacher organize things, but because I didn't pay much attention at the time, and the Dragon King seemed to It was dressed up in an outfit, but I didn’t notice it at first.”

"oh?"

Seeing that the girl was so confident, Mo Tan also looked happy: "So you have already thought of a way?"

"Well, maybe, actually, I'm not too sure."

Ji Xiaoge shrugged his shoulders, and then said seriously: "This thing is not a battle puppet. Although it has similar uses, its official name should be called [First Generation Rune Body V9.78]. It is the work of Teacher Lu Wei."

"The first rune body... the work of Master Lu Wei!?"

Mo Tan was startled again. He was too familiar with the term rune body. For no other reason than Cordoba's body was strictly a rune body, and his consciousness as a player was also part of the rune body. , it can be regarded as a detachable plug-in. By the way, those kobold bodies made by Lu Wei from scrap materials can also be regarded as rune bodies, whether they are with @@ or without @@.

"Yes, it is the first-generation rune body, and it is the final version that has undergone nine large-scale upgrades and optimizations."

Ji Xiaoge, who had completely recalled the relevant information, nodded vigorously and explained very seriously: "The combat effectiveness is very strong, the energy supply system is excellent, it comes with a free element absorption matrix and three sets of talisman energy converters, and the battery life is also very impressive. It is also equipped with fifteen spell-casting modules. Even without any auxiliary plug-ins, the factory strength can reach an epic level, and it is a double epic of spell casting and melee combat. It can be called the teacher's pinnacle work back then. As for the latest technology now Erdovar, compared with this first-generation machine, apart from the fact that the energy storage system is the same model, other aspects are..."

"How about everything else..."

"They're all so weak."

"..."
