Chapter 240 Brave Sacrifice

"Lin Huaien...save me!"

However, before he could react, half of Leonardo's body had been sucked in by the boulder.

Lin Huai'en was startled. He turned his head and looked at his arm. The part pressed against the boulder had also been swallowed.

"You wait outside!"

Lin Huai'en only had time to issue an instruction to Yuan Ximu before his body was already pulled in by the boulder.

"Hey!"

Leonardo's screams sounded in the distance, Lin Huaien pushed himself on the ground and stood up.

The dazzling white light in front of him made him unable to help but cover his eyes.

When he lowered his arms, he looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Welcome to the Kingdom of Evernight, heroes."

The girl with a white wolf head bowed slightly to Lin Huai'en. She spoke in a strange Slavic language. Her speech was unclear, but it was obviously the language of the earth.

Lin Huaien glanced at Leonardo subconsciously. The Italian young man who was proficient in multiple languages ​​was obviously shocked.

"Ahhhh——!"

However, before Lin Huaien could figure out the situation, Yuan Ximu also rushed out of the circle of light behind him. She waved her arms and tried hard to maintain her balance, but she still fell down the stairs.

He threw himself at Lin Huaien's feet.

"Damn... why are there stairs here..."

Lin Huaien glanced at her and was speechless for a moment.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to call her reckless or that she actually wanted to stand firm in this situation.

"But this kind of risk-taking... or the spirit of committing suicide is quite qualified."

Lin Huai'en was too lazy to scold her, and just pointed the martyr sword in his hand at the white werewolves in front of him.

In front of him and Leonardo, there were dozens of White Wolf Knights.

They were taller than the white werewolves Lin Huaien had seen in the fortress. They were covered in armor and had an astonishing aura.

But through their translucent bodies, Lin Huai'en could vaguely see the palace in the distance, which was why he and Leonardo did not launch an attack immediately.

"This is the "Kingdom of Eternal Night"?"

Lin Huai'en thought for a while and let out a series of short roars.

This startled him, as he had no idea that he could speak a language other than Slavic.

The werewolves in front of him were even more commotion. The white wolf "girl" who was standing in front of them and leading them had a look of surprise on her face: "...This is the first time I heard a human brave say that I Is the language of the clan...the power of destiny?"

"[Power of Destiny]?" Lin Huai'en frowned subconsciously.

"Yes." The white wolf girl nodded: "In your words, it is [Dungeon Skill]."

Lin Huai'en was silent for a moment: "So, the [brave] you call..."

"[Dungeon Explorer]." The white wolf girl nodded, "That's what you seem to call yourselves now."

"So, are you dungeon monsters or "deviants"?"

Lin Huaien looked cautiously at the werewolf silhouette in front of him.

"We are neither 'Dungeon Monsters' nor 'Abnormals'." The white wolf girl shook her head: "We once had a world of our own... But Your Excellency [The Original Brave], in order to obtain the [Power of Destiny] , entered our kingdom and slaughtered most of the people in the kingdom."

"In the end, the Holy King devoured the brave man, and then we, the dead people, were resurrected in his spiritual world."

The White Wolf Saint took a step back: "Please come with me, I know your purpose of coming."

"What's your reason for coming?"

Lin Huai'en hesitated for a moment, looked at the translucent werewolves, then turned to look at Yuan Ximu and Leonardo.

Yuan Ximu pointed to the tuberose pendant around his neck and whispered: "We are not in the spiritual world..."

"Of course you are not in the spiritual world."

Seemingly hearing Yuan Ximu's voice, the White Wolf Saint turned her head, looked at the two of them and smiled: "The Kingdom of Eternal Night is the slit between reality and the spiritual world. Here, ghosts like me and you are... Such creatures can communicate and live normally."

"It's just that individuals in different worlds cannot touch each other."

With that said, the white wolf girl walked to Lin Huaien, raised her right paw, and penetrated his body under his vigilant gaze.

"Look, is it the same as what I said?"

The white wolf girl waved her hand and said with a smile.

"What is she talking about?"

Yuan Ximu looked at the white wolf girl with some confusion. She was holding a mobile phone in her hand - but like Siberia, the temperature in the Evernight Kingdom was also unusually cold. Coupled with the vague accent of the white wolf girl, Lin Huaien felt that even if Leonardo could only understand a little bit.

It can be seen from the fact that the Italian young man is not interrupting now - of course, it is also possible that he is simply frightened by the sight in front of him.

Thinking of this, Lin Huai'en patted his neck and summoned his external brain——

"Be patient, it might hurt a little."

He lowered his head to look at Yuan Ximu, and in the dazed look of the girl, he attached the external brain to her body.

When the tentacles of the outer brain penetrated Yuan Ximu's spinal cord, she held her neck and shivered, but the reaction was so strong that it was beyond Lin Huai'en's expectations.

"what are you doing!"

Yuan Ximu jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and looked at Lin Huai'en with a flushed face, not knowing whether she was shy or something.

Noticing the movement behind her, the white wolf girl turned her head: "What's wrong? What happened?"

However, the white wolf girl's question made Yuan Ximu suddenly stunned: "Is this...?"

"One of the uses of external brain."

Lin Huaien nodded.

Lin Huai'en pointed at the spiritual body on Yuan Ximu's neck - now Yuan Ximu can also see it: "I have shared the [Psychic Language] with you, and you should be able to understand what they say now."

"In that case... let me let you go..."

Yuan Ximu rubbed her neck and gritted her teeth looking at Lin Huai'en's expression. It was probably because she was really in pain:

"Next time you use this skill, be sure to tell me in advance - and on others too!"

"Okay." Although he didn't know what Yuan Ximu was struggling with, Lin Huai'en nodded.

Seeing Yuan Ximu limping to her feet, Lin Huai'en helped her up, and the three of them followed the virtual image of the white wolf girl into the white palace in front of them.

"May I have your name?"

After gaining the ability to communicate, Yuan Ximu couldn't wait to chat with the white wolf girl.

"Ulora, or you can call me 'Lu' in your language."

The white wolf girl nodded and replied: "I am the saint of the white wolf clan, and I am responsible for receiving you human braves."

"'Dew'... What a nice name."

Yuan Ximu said with some emotion.

"Thank you for your compliment... I didn't expect that you would also be interested in my clan's culture."

"Lu" glanced at Yuan Ximu and said with some surprise.

"My name means 'sunset'."

Hara Yumu proudly showed off to "Lu" - not caring at all that the other party was a dungeon monster.

Perhaps only non-combatants like them could do this kind of thing.

Lin Huai'en put his hand on the martyr's sword, and the guards on both sides of him were also looking at these outsiders, their eyes full of vigilance and murderous intent——

It seems that this is the relationship between the white werewolf and the dungeon explorer.

"Please wait here for a moment." Lu led the three of them to a very beautiful ice and snow courtyard: "The Brave Festival will not start until three days later. Before that, we have to wait for other people who can find "Eternal Night Kingdom" Brave."

Lu bowed and said, "If you need anything, you can tell me. Our companions and I are right outside the door. If you want to go out and walk, you can call us."

Lin Huai'en looked at the courtyard.

Except for the direction of the entrance, there are three rooms in total, which correspond to the three people here.

"Does each group of heroes correspond to three people? What is the Hero Festival?"

Lin Huaien thought for a while and asked.

"Because there are three people in total between the [original hero] and her companions, the number of participants in each group of heroes in the annual Hero Festival is also limited to three people."

Lu nodded and explained to Lin Huaien: "As for the Warrior Festival, it is a great festival to commemorate the promotion of the Holy King to God and the birth of the "Eternal Night Kingdom"."

"On this day every year, we invite human braves to enter the Kingdom of Eternal Night, and imitate the challenges that the braves faced against the Holy King back then, and fight one on one."

"Lu" bowed slightly and said calmly: "If humans defeat the Holy King, the Holy King will hand over the Heart of the Wilderness. In this way, not only the Holy King will die, but also "The Kingdom of Eternal Night" 》will be destroyed accordingly.”

"If the Holy King defeats the Brave Lord, then all human braves who are invited to enter the "Kingdom of Eternal Night" on this day will be executed. The 'Power of Destiny' is absorbed into the 'Heart of the Wilderness' and becomes Lord Holy King and The nourishment of "Kingdom of Eternal Night"."

"...What will happen if you absorb enough 'power of destiny'?"

Lin Huai'en was silent for a moment and asked.

"The "Kingdom of Eternal Night" will come to the real world, and we [Dead Souls] will all be resurrected in the real world."

.

"Brave Festival... Is this the strategy for defeating "The White Wolf King"..."

Seeing Lu bowing out of the ice and snow courtyard, Lin Huai'en and the other two people gathered together.

"They are indeed spiritual beings. If we don't use spiritual attacks, we can't do anything to them."

Leonardo seemed to have had experience fighting against the spiritual body as he frowned and said.

"As for mental attacks... I do have them."

Lin Huai'en thought of the "Human Bullet" in his "Star Deer Forest", "But the question is, what will happen after attacking them...besieged by other white wolf guards, or kicked out of the "Eternal Night Kingdom"?"

"It would be great if Tanya was here, she must have a lot of 'inside information' there."

Yuan Ximu sighed and said.

However, Lin Huai'en frowned and shook his head: "I suspect Tanya doesn't know much about "The Kingdom of Eternal Night"..."

"Why?" Yuan Ximu and Leonardo were both a little surprised.

Lin Huai'en hesitated and said: "Do you still remember what 'Ulora' said? Once a human warrior is defeated in a one-on-one duel with the Wolf King, everyone will be executed... So, except for the Wolf King who wants to lure the expedition The 'rumors' spread by the participants, and other information will not be known after the death of the participants."

"That's why Tanya used the message of "White Wolf King" as a condition to lure me to send her back to Siberia..."

"In the end, if you want to defeat the "White Wolf King", you must have a one-on-one duel with it..."

"This is probably something no one expected."

"The restriction is actually 'one-on-one', this is outrageous!"

Hearing this, Leonardo couldn't help but complain: "What kind of explorer can defeat an "Abnormal Body" in a one-on-one duel..."

"Perhaps, "White Wolf King"'s personal strength is not strong."

Lin Huai'en thought about it and replied: "From the perspective of "Eternal Night Kingdom", "White Wolf King" is probably a "One Sin Can Become a Hundred Good" type of "Abnormal Body". I also defeated "The White Wolf King" in a single fight. "Silver Queen", so it is clear that the individual combat effectiveness of this commander-type "abnormal body" is average."

“But the crux of the matter is ‘who’ will challenge ‘It’, and whether it is possible to break the challenge rules and attack ‘It’.”

Lin Huai'en replied without hesitation: "Judging from the meaning of 'Ullola', among all the people, there is only one who can challenge the "White Wolf King". And there are six of us in total - three of us, Tanya , Vaskov and Pavlov.”

"Except for me, Tanya and Pavlov all have the chance to kill the "White Wolf King", but I don't know what other people will choose."

"Will the werewolves deliberately let the weakest of us challenge the "White Wolf King"?"

Yuan Ximu said with some worry, obviously thinking of herself.

"……probably not."

Lin Huai'en thought for a while and replied: "From what Ziyuan said, the 'Brave Sacrifice' should be related to the "essence" of the "White Wolf King" as an "abnormal body". It will not deliberately choose the weakest human being as its opponent. ——Just like Shion cannot keep us trapped in the "Perfectly Forgotten Dreamland" after her reincarnation ends."

Having said this, Lin Huai'en looked at the other two people: "The reason why the "White Wolf King" holds the 'Brave Festival' is to 'accumulate strength' so that the 'Eternal Night Kingdom' can come to the earth, so it will not do anything like this. Make trouble."

"Furthermore, have you realized that the existence of Ulora is, for the "White Wolf King", its "Declaration"..."

Looking at the expressions of the two people who suddenly understood, Lin Huai'en nodded: "Next, we have to see how the "White Wolf King" plans to hold the 'Brave Festival'."
