"It's too difficult."
"The screen is going to go black, the screen is going to go black!"
"Fuck! If you fall into the lava, don't splash me!"
"send!"
"I'm burning up too!"
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. With one wailing after another, the individual players who were at the front were basically all dead.
Most of them do not have high enough concentration of red dragon blood to adapt to the high temperature inside, nor can they breathe the hot and highly toxic volcanic gas.
It can be said that they were ruthlessly eliminated before the trial officially began.
The magma in the cave flows slowly, and only small paths made of pieces of lava are accessible.
Many players fell into it, and with a series of "hissing" sounds, their bodies were charred, and finally they were completely swallowed up, as if they had never been there.
“Is the first level so difficult?”
"Slip away."
"Go together."
"I'm afraid this trial is prepared for those big guys, it's too late."
"The damn official is really inhumane. The level is so stuck. Go to the forum and scold him."
"Youyou Cang Tian, why do you treat me less favorably?"
"Could it be that the authorities want to block the path for ordinary players like us?"
Many players who were watching outside the cave knew that they had no hope of passing the trial and did not want to waste experience and resurrection opportunities, so they called their friends and went back home, calling it a "strategic retreat."
Those who are still in the cave and able to hold on are mostly old players who have made it all the way from the internal testing period to the present, or elite players who have been cultivated by wealthy guilds with all their efforts.
And the way they survived this burning road can be described as eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.
"Ow—"
Mantou and Singo rode on the back of the wyvern, allowing them to cling to the rock walls of the cave, ignoring the magma and heat below.
Xia Ye Qiu Yu smeared heat-resistant and breath-holding potions on himself and walked carefully in the cave.
"Look at me!"
The natural war maniac was quite confident. Not only was he not afraid of high temperatures and hot air, he also made a big jump over several pieces of lava, moving a distance of nearly ten meters.
The players of the Mechanicus are even more outrageous.
The leading player raised his arms and shouted, and the remaining players took out small imitation mechanical clocks and rang them one after another.
"Praise the God of All Things! Everyone, ring the bell four times!"
"Come out - Fire Keeper!"
"boom!"
They raised their hands, and a multi-person-capable arcane armor dropped from the sky.
Its body is made of high-temperature resistant materials, the gem-like nodes installed on its fists can emit lightning, and its surface is covered with a force field shield to protect against flames.
The warlock that the Mechanicus wants to advance to is located in the heart of the armor, protected by heavy shells.
She was a petite female player with short hair and black-framed glasses. The nickname on her head was [Art is Explosion].
"Hahahaha, who can defeat us with the Fire Keeper?"
"Skirtari, charge!"
This specially made [Fire Guard] armor rushed into the cave like a bull, with flames emitting from the thrusters on its back.
"As expected of the Mechanicus."
"You're really rich."
Mantou looked at the huge armor and couldn't help but sigh sourly.
After the establishment of the Clauber Military-Industrial Corporation, these guys in the Mechanicus became increasingly wealthy, even to a level that ordinary players could hardly reach.
After all, as the heads of the empire's military technology, they often work in military-industrial groups.
It is said that for this advanced mission, the head of the [Mechanicus], Iron Frenzy, spent 3,000 gold coins to create this [Firestopper] armor. And the [Royalty] Guild was not to be outdone.
"Glory to the King!"
"Heroes are immortal!"
"The quota for the Dragon Bond Warlock belongs to our royal power!"
Their paladins raised their shields, releasing auras that could block the flames, and their mages waved their staffs, creating gusts of wind to disperse the surrounding volcanic gases.
The two dragon vein warlocks, who were protected by shields, stretched out their arms and controlled the flames around them.
"March! March!"
With all kinds of luxurious equipment and the efforts of high-level professionals, they almost formed a mobile fortress that could block all external invasions.
"I go."
Lonely as the Snow looked at the two powerful guilds and couldn't help but speak.
"President, we are known as a wealthy guild, how can we be so shameless? Look at them, tsk."
Charlotte looked calm and indifferent, and snorted coldly: "Humph, it's just a face-saving project. It's still unknown who will win."
"We, the Magic Coin, are determined to get this kind of advanced magic profession!"
"As the president of a wealthy guild, I have come here in person to assist you. Isn't this a big enough sign?"
Well, it's not necessary.
——It’s definitely not because Charlotte couldn’t resist opening another wave of boxes recently and spent all her savings.
Charlotte and the magic coin's mages and warlocks all raised their staffs.
【Flying Technique】
Everyone with the magic coin flew up and hovered in the air, even Lonely Ruxue who was wearing heavy armor was no exception.
"Look at me."
"This is something I got from Trump after spending a lot of experience."
Charlotte waved the staff again and chanted an obscure spell, and the magic crystal on the top of the staff emitted a purple light.
[Nieziran Amethyst Aura]
Suddenly, a crystal-like bright purple halo surrounded everyone, making them temporarily immune to toxins and diseases.
"Mingyue, it's your turn."
Summer season.
Mingyue, the vice president of [Magic Coin], immediately understood what he meant and raised the carved wooden staff in his hand, making it glow slightly.
[Protection from fire damage]
A translucent light film appeared around the body, which could absorb flames within a certain limit and protect everyone from passing through the burning road.
Several mages also cast protective spells such as shield and spiritual armor in succession.
This is the essence of the magic coin.
Apart from the unlucky president, this guild owns a "magic office" with more than a dozen powerful spellcasters who have reached the level 8 limit.
Lonely Ruxue looked at the layers of colorful spiritual light on her body, and suddenly felt safe. She nodded with satisfaction: "This is pretty good."
Then he whispered, "Fortunately, the witch sister didn't come."
Yes, the mainstay of Magic Coin, the famous "dog luck warrior" Flying Witch was not present.
Charlotte and the others investigated the trial in advance and knew that the entire army could be wiped out if there was even the slightest mistake. Therefore, even though the Flying Witch begged desperately, Charlotte was determined not to bring her here.
In the end, out of the three hundred players, only more than eighty players successfully entered the trial, and the remaining more than two hundred players were all eliminated.
Xia Ye Qiu Yu also cast the flying spell on himself and floated in the air.
She looked into the depths of the cave illuminated by firelight, her brows slightly furrowed - she seemed to have discovered something active in the magma.
"Look there."
