In Li Ziqiu's story, there was a part about the key to breaking the door, and he mentioned a person at the end.
Yes, one person!
Moreover, Lin You was not unfamiliar with this person. Although he had never met him formally, he had a deep impression of him.
There is no other reason, this person seems to be impersonating himself after entering the underworld this time!
Moreover, the impersonation was so similar that even Guo Rui was almost fooled.
Chu Ke also had a deep impression of that person.
Face Changer!
A bastard who pretends to be himself, searches for students and launches sneak attacks.
Of course, he may not just be impersonating himself. There may be other people, some well-known students, who may be his options for impersonation.
The most important thing is... the opponent can also summon sleep-inducing monsters, and the summoned sleep-inducing monsters are extremely powerful in this aspect.
It has stronger penetrating power against soul barriers.
According to Lin You's guess, this person might be related to Instructor Jia, or he might be the work of the owner of the magic field.
No matter which one it is, there is only one purpose, which is to make trouble for these students.
But now it seems that it is not only troublesome, but also plays a key role.
The key to the palace gate is with the face-changer!
At this time, thinking back to the constantly changing figures on the gate, Lin You understood that they had a specific meaning.
However, this hint is somewhat useless. Just looking at those changing graphics, who would think of the face-changing man?
It’s almost like being misled!
Maybe... they are just trying to mislead you. Do you have any solution?
At this point, I have finished reading several excerpts of this book.
Lin You frowned slightly and murmured, "The Face Changer... is also a trouble!"
Not to mention how difficult it is to snatch the key from the other party, just trying to find the other party is probably difficult enough.
But if the key can be obtained successfully and the palace is opened, most of the sleepers can be freed in one fell swoop.
In addition, according to the book, those super black star sleep-inducing monsters are just tributes. Once the door is opened, what will be the fate of those guys if they rashly break in?
Will it really turn into nutrients for 'that person' invisibly?
'That' person lives in the palace?
It shouldn't be. If that were the case, it would be impossible for these students to liberate the sleepers in the palace.
The owner of the magic field is a bit tricky, but he won't give them unsolvable problems.
After thinking for a while, Lin You stopped thinking about it.
We must find a way to find the Face Changer, but not now.
If I go out now, I don't have to worry about not being able to break through the encirclement because of the two treasures, but where can I find the face-changing man?
It's obviously a waste of time to try your luck like a headless chicken.
I'd better continue reading to see if I can find more clues.
Besides, there is a door in front!
The first door is the training room, the second is the library, what about the third?
Maybe it’s a treasure trove!
If it's true, then I'll post it. I just don't know how many slashes are needed to enable it this time.
According to the previous rules... three?
It’s a bit expensive, but acceptable. After all, there are still many slashes now, four in total!
Um?
Suddenly, Lin You's eyes moved. There are more?
At this moment, there were six slashes on the direction paper.
There are two more!
This means... two more sleeping houses have been liberated.
After counting, the number of liberated buildings has reached ten!
This progress is really fast!
You know, if the instructions on the door of the side hall are correct, the total number of eternal sleep chambers is only fifteen... Ten is already the majority!
Only five more are left to complete the task of liberating all the sleeping chambers. It’s not easy!
How long has it been now?
Since the concept of time is almost lost in this underworld, Lin You perceives that only three days have passed at most.
There is still a long way to go before the transmission channel is opened.
In three days, ten sleeping houses were liberated. If the time is correct, it is really amazing.
After sighing for a while, Lin You quickly withdrew his attention, took out another book and started reading it.
Reading is important!
There are a vast number of books here, but Lin You is not planning to read them all. That would be a dream.
He only looks at what is valuable!
Yes, after reading books for so long, Lin You gradually developed a subtle feeling for these books.
Only books with this kind of feeling can be valuable books.
This is the case with the previous books.
Obviously, this is also a setting of the magic field, or a reward.
A reward for those readers who turn a deaf ear to the books outside the window and immerse themselves in the sea of books!
After the feeling emerged, when I went to choose books, the options were reduced by 90%!
The more you look, the more obvious the sensation becomes, and then it is likely that further screening will be possible.
It was for this reason that Lin You was able to be patient, otherwise, he would have opened the next door long ago.
…
While Lin You was concentrating on studying, five sleep-inducing monsters had gathered outside the palace.
At this moment, they all seemed extremely restless, constantly blasting the door, and it had been going on for who knows how long.
Before, they failed to stop several prey and let them hide in the side hall. Without a target, they had to vent their anger on the main gate.
But after venting for a long time, there was still no result. Finally, three of the monsters roared, hit the door hard one last time, and suddenly turned around.
No more!
It’s not like they are really brainless... Well, they really don’t have much brains, otherwise they wouldn’t vent their anger on a door that can’t be blown open for so long.
But no matter how stupid you are, if you do stupid things for a long time, you will realize that something is wrong.
At this moment, he suddenly set off.
I won’t hang around here anymore, I’m going to actively search for prey!
They realized that there was a considerable risk in intercepting them nearby.
It’s so frustrating to always watch the cooked duck fly away!
It would be better to take the initiative and see if they can catch some lost prey. Although for those targets that cannot be sensed, they are just playing the blind cat catching a dead mouse, but what if they encounter one?
Now, that’s the idea.
However, that’s not all of them. There are still two of them who are still hitting the door relentlessly, as if they will not give up.
These two are naturally the ones who arrived later, and now they are following the old path of the giant evil spirit.
They were too lazy to deal with the giant evil spirit.
Nonsense, the three of them ignored each other, not to mention the two newcomers.
At this moment, they moved quickly and left here soon, leaving only the two sleep-inducing monsters to continue bombarding the door.
But in fact, at this time, it was not only the huge evil spirits wandering in the wilderness.
The liberation of each sleeping house will trigger the emergence of a super-black star-level sleep-inducing monster.
And now, ten sleeping houses have been liberated, and the number of monsters is naturally ten correspondingly!
Among the ten, two were shooting at the goal, but eight were wandering around aimlessly!
No, the ones who are really wandering around aimlessly are actually only the three of them, including the giant evil spirit. The remaining five still have a target.
The target, of course, is the liberated sleeping house!
The food that belongs to them is imprisoned in the sleeping house. When their home is robbed, their first reaction is, of course, to rush back home in a rage. If they see the thief, they will definitely attack him in anger.
Of course, it is unlikely that you will encounter a thief, but you may run into some unlucky people who are unaware of the situation.
For example, Guo Rui almost became one of them before.
…
While these extremely troublesome super-black star monsters were taking action, the students who were still conscious were also taking action on their own.
The most eye-catching among them are Song Ming and his two companions on a flying monster. This flying monster is nothing special, but it is carrying a girl who exudes a super black star aura and holds a holy sword.
Behind him, there was a broad-backed gorilla running at an extremely fast speed, who was also at the super black star level.
If you don’t know, you might think it’s a chase scene between beauty and the beast.
Of course, there was also a pitch-black flying dragon following, and there were also several monsters on the dragon's body.
At this moment, guided by the direction paper, the three of them were rushing to the next sleeping house, which was also the third sleeping house they were about to liberate.
As we were flying, the fog ahead suddenly dissipated.
The next moment, a roar was heard, and a huge human-shaped evil spirit rushed towards them.
Seeing this sudden evil spirit, Song Ming and his companions had not said anything yet, but the red-eyed flying dragon flying side by side with them suddenly let out a manic roar.
The huge evil spirit is cooked!
In order to cover Lin You’s retreat, the Red-Eyes Flying Dragon flew him a considerable distance.
At this moment, seeing the red-eyed flying dragon, the huge evil spirit's empty eyes were filled with silver light!
It came here because it caught this familiar breath, and ended up running into the owner of this breath.
Its target was not the Red-Eyes Dragon, but now that the target was lost, it had time to settle accounts with the opponent.
This flying dragon had previously hindered his good deeds, so naturally he couldn't let it go.
Besides, there's more here!
Song, Ming and the other two were an unexpected surprise.
The giant evil spirit also sensed a sweet scent from these three people, although that sweetness had not yet fully erupted due to a lack of some opportunity.
But even so, in its eyes, it is still an extremely fat prey.
At this moment, the huge evil spirit roared: "Food--!!"
The sound spread, and Song Ming and Ji Ming's faces changed slightly. Deng Yuxin's face also changed, but she said irritably: "You ugly thing, stop yelling there. You suddenly appeared in my way and polluted my eyes, and you dare to yell so loudly. I must chop you in half today!"
“…”
Song Ming and the other were both speechless. Girl, is this the point?
He spoke!
That's a monster. Would you believe it if it spoke human language?
Well, in the secret realm, some powerful monsters are quite intelligent, and if they have had some contact with humans, they can also speak a little.
Song Ming knew this, but this person obviously hasn't reached that level yet!
The super black star rating is not low, but logically speaking, it should be at least a red star.
Could it be that the owner of the magic field did something?
Thinking of this, Song Ming felt relieved.
Whether it can speak human language is not something we should consider now. This wild monster actually has super black star-level capabilities. It may take a lot of time to deal with it.
They also have to liberate the sleeping house and get more points.
It is not a good thing that Deng Yuxin is now in conflict with the other party.
Song Ming was somewhat helpless, but at this moment, he quickly said: "Ji Ming, make your move, and make a quick decision."
He knew Deng Yuxin's temper very well after spending time with her along the way.
Everything is fine. She is very kind and cute. She likes cute things. She is a very energetic girl and very pleasing to the eye!
But once something irritates her, she becomes very stubborn and won't give up until she's settled the score!
Until now, I still miss the face-changing man I met a long time ago.
Therefore, since the huge evil spirit has provoked her, she should be dealt with quickly.
It’s just a super black star monster... It’s powerful, but to the three of us, it’s just that!
Ji Ming also understood that people who are ruthless don't talk much, so he directly let the broad-backed gorilla attack.
The Holy Sword Girl rushed forward first and slashed with her sword, but the giant evil spirit did not dodge and punched out as well.
The silver shock wave spreads!
The holy sword and fist collided with each other, and the power of the holy sword continued to erupt. Tiny scars gradually appeared on the tip of the fist, mixed with a little blood.
In terms of strength, the petite Holy Sword Girl actually has the upper hand.
But at the same time as the collision, she was also affected by some silver shock waves.
I wasn't injured, but my energy level was subtly declining.
At the same time, the broad-backed gorilla also rushed over and made a hugging gesture, intending to hug the huge evil spirit!
The giant evil spirit is tall, but the broad-backed gorilla is even taller and can easily catch the opponent.
Just when it was about to be caught, the huge evil spirit suddenly withdrew its fist, tapped the ground with its toes, and rose into the air.
Then, he flipped in the air, changing his normal posture to facing the ground headfirst.
Then, he rushed to the ground in this posture, with his fists extended forward.
The broad-backed gorilla roared wildly, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes. He was not afraid at all. He exerted force on his wrist and swung forward with a back fist.
Bang!
Taking advantage of the momentum of falling, the huge evil spirit quickly collided with the broad-backed gorilla. At the center of the collision, a sound of gas explosion was heard.
Click.
Cracks appeared on the ground where the broad-backed gorilla stood.
Soon, the ground exploded and the broad-backed gorilla's position sank, but his body did not lose its stability.
Try your best to stalemate!
It seemed that they were evenly matched, and even the Holy Sword Girl took advantage of the flaws of the giant evil spirit and chopped it wildly, but Ji Ming's expression changed slightly.
He frowned and said, "Something is wrong. My War Ape King seems to be a little distracted, and the connection with my soul has become somewhat disconnected."
Song Ming's expression also changed slightly. He looked at the huge evil spirit again and quickly concluded, "That's right, that guy is also a sleep-inducing monster, a super-black star-level existence. I didn't expect that."
They had seen many sleep-inducing monsters since entering the underworld, but the highest level among them was the Black Star.
It is only one word away from the super black star level, but there is a world of difference.
The most basic one is the Black Star Sleep Monster. Using a Black Star Monster can pose a threat to it. A Super Black Star-level monster can even be killed alone, but it takes some time.
But the super black star level, coupled with the life characteristics of the sleep-inducing monster, is really a bit tricky.
At least two super black star monsters, combined with some card assistance from the duelist, are needed to compete with it.
Note that it is a confrontation, not a solution!
If they really want to solve it, even Song Ming and his men will probably have to go all out.
"It's a lot more troublesome than I thought."
Song Ming looked a little solemn and a little tired.
How come they always run into trouble?
The face-changing man before was the same. He actually disguised himself as Lin You. If the real red-eyed flying dragon had not appeared in time, his evil plan might have succeeded and their entire army would have been wiped out.
After seeing through the other party's disguise, the captain summoned by the other party was also extremely powerful.
Although the captain himself could not be compared with the huge evil spirit in front of him, the ghosts he summoned were extremely difficult to deal with and could even penetrate the soul barrier to a certain extent.
Put the duelist to sleep directly!
Can this super black star sleep-inducing monster do this?
This is what Song Ming is more worried about.
If it is possible, it would be a disaster!
But now, the opponent didn't seem to have this intention, and instead started fighting with two super black star-level monsters.
Is it impossible to do it, or did you not think of doing it?
Also, why did the Red-Eyes Flying Dragon react so violently when it saw the other party?
The more crucial point is... the other party seemed to react just as violently when he saw the Red-Eyes Flying Dragon.
This is a little unusual.
Although Red-Eyes Flying Dragon is a well-known monster in the Red-Eyes series, it is just Shirahoshi. How could the other party care about it?
While thinking about the connection, Song Ming swallowed the magic recovery product to restore his magic power.
His sea snake was not present at the moment.
He had taken it back after he had dealt with the captain.
There's no way. After all, it's a sea monster and isn't very suitable for traveling.
In addition, having two super black star monsters in charge is enough. There is no need to maintain the speed all the time. Just summon them when needed.
Although summoning again consumes a lot of energy, it can be handled with magic recovery items and some cards with recovery abilities.
I didn't expect that I would run into such a super black star-level sleep-inducing monster while on the road. What bad luck!
"roar!"
At this time, the Red-Eyes Flying Dragon roared again, but this time it was no longer aimed at the giant evil spirit, but at the fog ahead.
It seemed to have discovered something, but it didn't look sure, and its pair of dark red eyes looked around.
Song Ming also noticed this, and soon, he thought of something and had an idea in his mind.
He quickly looked at the angry Deng Yuxin and said, "Something's going on. Lin You might be nearby."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Ming looked at him in surprise. Deng Yuxin, who had been paying attention to the battle situation, turned around suddenly and asked in surprise, "Really?"
Then, he asked suspiciously, "You're not lying to me, are you? You can't contact him, so how do you know if he's nearby?"
"So, I'm just saying maybe."
Song Ming said, and then said: "But it is quite possible that the flying dragon seems to have some sense and may have captured some of Lin You's remaining aura."
"You are lying!"
After hearing this explanation, Deng Yuxin complained, "That water elf is a Black Star monster. According to your previous guess, her master should be traveling with Lin You. If even she can't sense it, how can the flying dragon sense it?"
Song Ming shook his head and smiled, "There are many possibilities. For example, they got separated during the subsequent operation, or Lin You's aura is more obvious. Besides, the perception of Black Star monsters is not necessarily stronger than that of White Star monsters. Some White Star monsters have an extremely deep connection with their masters' souls, or they are extremely sensitive in this aspect. It's not surprising that they can detect things that Black Star monsters can't perceive. In short, there are many possibilities."
Deng Yuxin fell into deep thought for a long time before nodding and saying, "Okay, I'll trust you this time. Let's go find him now?"
Although she was very dissatisfied with this huge evil spirit that was looking for trouble, after a battle, she also knew that if she really wanted to deal with him, it might be very troublesome, and she might not be able to get rid of him even after paying a considerable price.
"Okay, I have no objection."
Song Ming nodded naturally. This was your own suggestion, not mine. Whether you find it or not by then is another matter. Anyway, you will not fight to the death with this huge evil spirit.
On the side, Ji Ming was speechless. Is this considered a scam?
Lin You is nearby, Thaksin.
After all, the soul connection is not broken, so it is normal to be nearby.
But this 'nearby' is not that 'nearby'. Who knows what the maximum distance of soul connection is in this magic field.
Besides, distance is one thing, but isn’t there fog blocking the way?
But no matter what, at this time, Ji Ming had no intention of fighting to the death with the huge evil spirit.
After fighting for a while, his War Ape King had been greatly affected by the sleeping effect.
If the time goes on for a long time, he might really fall asleep.
However, the giant evil spirit had to fight one against two such powerful super-black star-level monsters, so it also had many scars on its body.
But these cannot threaten him.
Duels between super-black star-level monsters, as long as they do not involve combat skills, are often very long.
Even if it's two against one or three against one, it will take a lot of time to easily deal with a super black star monster of the same level.
This is two extremes compared to awakening combat skills, that is, reaching the duel level.
Duel-level super black star monsters often end up in a situation where both sides suffer losses after using their ultimate moves on each other, and the winner is decided very quickly.
But now, before reaching that level, it is indeed difficult to deal with the huge evil spirit.
But the opponent is different. He is a sleep-inducing monster. With the sleep-inducing effect, he has the upper hand in the war of attrition.
At this moment, after observing for a while, the Red-Eyed Flying Dragon seemed to be certain of something. He looked back at Song Ming and the others, then flew over there.
This means leading the way!
"Really sensed it?"
This time, Deng Yuxin was also surprised, and she was happy in her heart, and no longer looked at the huge evil spirit.
Find Lin You and go see the cute little animals!
I've seen too many ugly and smelly things along the way, I really need to cleanse my eyes!
The flying monster quickly took off.
Seeing that they were about to leave, the huge evil spirit roared again, trying to stop them.
But the Holy Sword Girl and the War Ape King are no pushovers either. They are indeed no match for him in a war of attrition, but they can still hold him back and prevent him from causing trouble.
After all, even a huge evil spirit couldn't put them to sleep in a short period of time.
Soon, the flying monster carried Song Ming and the other two away from the war zone.
The huge evil spirit that was intercepted looked at them unwillingly as they went away, and roared to the sky!
No!
The prey slipped away right under his nose again. At this moment, he was heartbroken. Although his emotions were not clear enough due to his lack of intelligence, they were still so profound!
Simply put, the giant evil spirit didn't know that his current emotion was called a breakdown, but he really couldn't hold it in any longer!
The next moment, he attacked the Holy Sword Girl and the War Ape King crazily, punching and kicking them, as if he was going crazy.
But the Holy Sword Girl and the War Ape King did not tolerate him and took turns serving him with their sharp holy swords and strong punches.
The three monsters fought fiercely, causing the air within a radius of hundreds of meters to vibrate and the soil to fly.
…
now.
Inside the library.
Lin You read the book for a long time again, but this time, he gained nothing.
I have already browsed through most of the books that I have some inspiration for at the speed of light, but found nothing.
As he watched, Lin You, who originally had a smile on his face as if he was enjoying it, gradually became stiff in his smile.
What does it mean?
Are you kidding me?
Are all these sensations just for show?
Or... simply haven't discovered it yet?
Okay, I'll bear it!
Look again!
Lin You suppressed his displeasure and soon a smile appeared on his face again.
The world is so wonderful, reading is the best way to go!
I watched for half an hour, didn't notice anything, and was still laughing.
The world is so wonderful, reading makes people happy!
I watched for another half an hour, but still found nothing.
The path to the mountain of books is through diligence, and the boat to the boundless sea of learning is through hard work. Read, read good books!
Another hour has passed!
Lin You's face was full of smiles, a very bright smile, holding up a book.
The next moment, he suddenly threw the book in his hand away.
Read your uncle!
Fuck you!
That book is the last book in the induction.
As soon as I finished reading, I felt that there were the same number of books as before.
Lin You was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
The owner of this magic field is really a mess.
When someone said he was Jia Jiao, Lin You wanted to believe it, even though he knew that Jia Jiao was not good at this.
But who can be sure?
Maybe Instructor Jia has another trick up his sleeve.
“Huh~”
Taking a deep breath, Lin You tried his best to calm down and stop thinking about these unfortunate things.
At least, he did not gain nothing in this library, but learned a lot of important secrets.
Anyway, it’s enough!
It's worth spending so much time.
It’s okay if it’s a bit of a scam, at least it’s not an unconditional scam.
Thinking of this, Lin You felt more open-minded. He looked at the direction paper again and found that the number of slashes had not changed, it was still six.
Then, his eyes turned to the door inside the house.
Behind that door is the third room, or... the third building!
It’s hard to say specifically. After all, from the outside, some of the buildings in this side hall seem to be connected as one.
In addition, each time you enter the door, you need to consume a certain amount of energy. Perhaps this energy will trigger some teleportation power, which will teleport the person entering to the key rooms in different buildings.
Of course, whether it is the power of teleportation is not the point. What Lin You cares about and looks forward to at the moment is what is behind the door.
I hope it is a treasure house. If not, a pharmacy will do. At worst, a monitoring room will do!
At this moment, Lin You thought a lot, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly froze.
After waiting for a while, his expression changed even more.
What's the meaning?
Looking at the direction paper in his hand, the direction paper at this moment was motionless and showed no signs of reaction at all.
But before, there was a reaction, which could resonate with the door, thereby consuming the energy of the slash to open the door.
"You won't open the door?"
Lin You was stunned for a moment, unable to accept it, so he simply took the direction paper and stuck it on the door.
Is the 'signal' of your paper not very good? It's not receiving the information. I'll bring it closer to you and let you react better.
The direction paper was stuck to the door, motionless.
Lin You tried to let go of his hand and stop pressing it, but as soon as he moved his hand away, the direction paper fell from the door.
It floated for a while, then fell to the ground, lying quietly, motionless.
At this moment, the direction paper is no different from ordinary hand towels.
The only difference is probably that the slashes on the paper are still there.
Lin You was dumbfounded.
It really can't be turned on!
After a while, he picked up the direction paper with great depression.
Okay, can't go on.
There are only two doors.
So many slashes, are they just wasted?
No, there is a row of side halls on the other side, which may be useful.
Another thing is that these slashes may be useful after the palace gate is opened.
Thinking of this, Lin You felt a little comforted and reluctantly accepted this fact.
Forget it, it’s time to do some real work.
It is important to find the Face Changer, otherwise it would be embarrassing if the mission is not completed by the time the exit to the underworld opens.
According to the game, liberating those sleepers is the main task.
The rest are just side quests!
Thinking about this, Lin You walked back and soon reached the door on the other side.
This door naturally leads to the training room.
This time, the direction paper finally responded and was willing to work.
The direction paper trembled slightly, and the next moment, it flew up by itself and lightly touched the door.
Bang.
The door just opened.
No slashes are consumed!
Lin You was a little surprised, this was actually good news.
No need to consume slash energy to go back!
Soon, Lin You returned to the first floor.
As soon as I entered, I saw Chu Ke and the other man concentrating on carrying the pressure.
Still under pressure?
Lin You was surprised. How long has it been?
Haven’t digested it yet?
Well, I almost forgot, not everyone is a monster like him. It will take a lot of time to digest these crazy biscuits, even if they are divided into several halves, if you eat too much, it will take a lot of time to deal with the magic debris.
What's more, there were not just one, but four cookies.
Absorption + magic pressure purification, plus the rest time in between, it is normal to take a few days.
That's fine.
It just so happens that this trip out might still be a little dangerous. If I take these two with me, I might end up cheating them and I might also get cheated!
It is more convenient to go out alone.
At this moment, Chimera also came out of its dormant period.
In terms of magic, Lin You also took a lot of magic recovery products during his studies to help him return to his peak state.
The only thing left is the magic green bean, which has not been used yet.
There is no need for it now. At the critical moment, this thing is very effective. Within ten seconds, it can restore 300 magic points to the duelist.
After thinking for a while, Lin You prepared to leave.
It's safe for Chu Ke and the other person to stay here, so you can rest assured.
Judging from the current situation, whether I leave or not will not affect their cultivation.
I was worried before that if I went to the next floor, they would be kicked out. Now it seems that my worry was unnecessary.
"It's time to go out and take a look. I wonder if those guys are still outside."
When Lin You thought of this, he smiled and felt no longer under any pressure.
It’s simple, it’s just a matter of upgrading!
With two A-level treasures on hand, why should I be afraid of it?
