Chapter 332 Three Channels
After communicating with the dragon, Wang Zhifan stepped on the boulder and soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, his figure left the magma sea and went to the distant coast.
An illusory light gate appeared out of thin air on the coast the moment he arrived, indicating that he had passed this level.
"This fourth level is too easy."
Wang Zhifan sighed and went into the light gate, leaving only the magma sea behind him. A certain existence that stretched out its huge lizard head and looked at this side suddenly relaxed.
"He finally left... I haven't seen such a powerful human for at least a thousand years. Has mankind ushered in an era of strong people again?"
The dragon sighed in his heart, but soon decided not to think about this problem that bothered it, and his head quickly sank into the rolling magma around him.
On the other side, Wang Zhifan, who crossed the light gate on the coast, had arrived at a new space.
The light in this space was slightly dim, and it looked like a large cave. There was a bonfire burning quietly in the middle of the cave, and six humans with different looks and strong breaths were sitting around the bonfire.
Passing these six humans who might be resting, we can see three passage entrances standing side by side on the cave wall in front. The flames of the bonfire cast some light on their edges, but it makes people feel that their interior is getting darker and deeper.
"Is this level one against six?"
After examining the entire environment, Wang Zhifan replaced the Blade of Time in his hand with the Thunder Dragon Blade, because he hadn't used this weapon for a while, and this weapon is more suitable for one against more than one.
But when he approached the six people around the bonfire in front with a knife, he found that these people did not seem to have very obvious hostility.
Except for a middle-aged armored man who looked up and observed him in the direction facing him, the other five only turned their heads and looked at him twice without any other reaction.
"Hey! Friend! We are adventurers like you! Are you tired all the way here? Come and take a rest!"
The middle-aged armored man facing him stood up when he got closer and greeted him in a very enthusiastic tone.
"Thank you! But I don't think I need to rest yet."
Wang Zhifan did not relax his vigilance because of the other party's seemingly friendly attitude. He immediately answered loudly and observed the reactions of the other five people.
But the five people who were roasting by the fire did not seem to care much about his arrival. Some of them turned their heads to look at him, and some simply closed their eyes and rested in front of the campfire.
From the light of the fire, it can be seen that each of them has some injuries, some are pale, and some have bandages wrapped around their chests.
"Oh... That's a pity, my friend, if you don't want to sit down and chat, I can only wish you a smooth journey."
The middle-aged strong man standing in armor smiled and replied when he heard Wang Zhifan refuse to rest by the campfire.
Wang Zhifan could see from his eyes and expression that he was observing him carefully, but he seemed to be a little confused about his identity, and there was a flash of confusion in his eyes.
"Thank you for your blessing, my friend."
Wang Zhifan responded politely, and then passed by the campfire they were surrounded by, carrying the unsheathed Thunder Dragon Blade.
During the process, only the middle-aged armored man who stood up was watching him, and the other five still didn't pay much attention to his approach.
"Are you really going to let me go? Even if they are not enemies arranged by the tower, as adventurers, don't you play the whole drama of bullying the weak with the strong?"
When Wang Zhifan walked to the entrance of the three passages on the stone wall of the cave in front, he didn't feel any unusual movements from the six humans behind him. This kind of peace surprised him and didn't match his understanding of the adventurer group.
However, he wouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble to them if others didn't provoke him. Although these people looked well-equipped, they were not attractive to him, so he turned his attention to the three rock wall passages in front of him.
The rock above the leftmost passage was carved with a simplified image of a human head, not a skull, but a more upright and majestic human head.
A pair of crossed swords are depicted above the middle passage, giving people a sense of murderous aura.
On the right is a long-handled sickle, with wavy lines on the sickle that may represent flames.
"What do these mean..."
Wang Zhifan frowned in less than two seconds after scanning the patterns above the three passages one by one. He knew that these patterns must have their meanings, but he really couldn't figure out what they meant, and there was no reliable basis for guessing.
"Why don't we use the clone to find out first?"
After thinking about it, he decided to be patient and see what was going on at this level before making the next decision.
But before he was ready to take action, a figure approached him from behind, making him turn his head to look at the other party.
The person who came was the middle-aged armored strong man who had just exchanged several polite words with him. At this time, he still had that kind of enthusiastic smile on his face, and he took the lead in speaking to Wang Zhifan:
"Young friend, I see that you have been observing these patterns for a long time. Is this your first time to come to this level?"
Wang Zhifan turned around immediately after hearing this, and did not hide his lack of intelligence.
"Yes, can I ask what they represent?"
He asked directly.
The middle-aged armored man smiled even more warmly after hearing this, and a look of "as expected" flashed in his eyes, and then he explained:
"These three patterns represent three different types of enemies.
The human head has high defense and ordinary attack, but you can't fight it for too long.
The two swords are strong in speed attack and are a very dangerous enemy.
The scythe represents the opponent from the world of the dead, and it has some special abilities that are difficult to deal with."
"So that's the case... Thank you very much, your selflessness impressed me."
After listening to this man, although Wang Zhifan didn't know whether the other party lied to him, he immediately thanked him, and then turned his head to scan the three channels and thought.
Seeing that he was a little entangled, the middle-aged armored man next to him immediately gave advice:
"Young friend, the fact that you can come to this level of the tower shows that you have extraordinary strength, but any of the three enemies in front is very dangerous, much more dangerous than the enemies in the previous levels. It is irrational to choose to fight them alone. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to join us in the channel battle. One more person is good for both of us."
"Which channel are you going to fight?"
Wang Zhifan looked at him and asked, without saying whether he refused or agreed.
"It has not been completely determined yet, but it is likely to be the human head channel."
The middle-aged armored man answered immediately.
"The enemies in the human head channel are more focused on testing our attack destructive power. We have confidence in this. If we can add you, our friend, this confidence will be even greater, and all of us can pass the level smoothly."
He then explained the reason.
"It sounds like a good choice..."
Wang Zhifan nodded, and seemed to be a little moved by this cooperation. He thought for a while and asked for a more detailed plan:
"When do you plan to start? If it's fast enough, I'm willing to join."
"One day, just one more day of rest."
The middle-aged armored man immediately raised a finger after hearing this, indicating that their action would be launched soon.
"We consumed a lot in the battles on the lower floors, but we can recover after one more day of rest. At that time, we can break through the passage together, step into the treasure room to share the joy of success, and end this unforgettable adventure..."
The man seemed to have determined that Wang Zhifan would agree to cooperate with them, and even described the subsequent process.
Little did he know that Wang Zhifan was unhappy when he heard him say that he had to wait for another day. He didn't want to procrastinate, so he changed his attitude on the spot and refused.
"Sorry! One day is too long. I can't wait that long, so I can only go in first."
After saying that, he turned and looked at the passage on the far left, and stepped in quickly.
"Friend! Don't be impulsive! Only sufficient preparation can bring success! If you rush in, you may lose your life!"
The man behind saw Wang Zhifan change his mind so quickly, and hurriedly followed him two steps to persuade him, but Wang Zhifan ignored him and his figure was submerged in the darkness of the left passage.
"He actually broke in alone? I don't know where this arrogant man came from! I dare say he will die in the passage soon!"
At this moment, another man came from the campfire behind and commented on Wang Zhifan's behavior.
This man looked less than 30 years old, tall and thin, wearing a hooded robe, and his pale face showed that his condition was not perfect. When the middle-aged strong man turned to look at him, he immediately urged him to go back and rest.
"Adams, you should rest well now. It is not your responsibility to negotiate with others. If your magic power is not fully restored, we will not be able to pass this level."
"I know."
The hooded wizard answered immediately after hearing it, with a helpless expression.
"But that man is too arrogant. I want to see his defeat with my own eyes. This will greatly cheer me up and help me recover my magic power."
After speaking, the mage turned his eyes to the human head passage that Wang Zhifan had just entered. He saw that the human head pattern on the rock wall above the entrance of the passage suddenly emitted a bright red blood color, which meant that the battle in the human head passage had begun. During this period, this passage will be closed, and others can only choose the other two passages to pass through.
"Hehe... Although the monster in the human head passage has an attack ability that is not as good as the other two, if it cannot be dealt with as soon as possible, it will turn into the most terrifying one among the three passages. He is alone and is destined to not be able to pass through quickly. I conclude that he will die within half a solar hour."
Confirming that the battle in the passage has begun, the hooded mage inferred with a very certain tone, giving Wang Zhifan a very close death date.
"He is very strong if he can hold out for half a sun. You should know that the records in the past were left by team adventurers. There is a huge difference between a person and a team, and the pressure they need to bear is completely different."
Another companion came over to check the bloody head pattern. This was a petite female assassin, but her expression was as cold as the dagger on her waist.
"After we enter the passage tomorrow and finish the battle, I need the weapon he just used. I hope you won't fight with me for it."
The man then raised the issue of the distribution of the deceased's remains. It seems that Wang Zhifan is regarded as a dying person.
"I have secretly observed that although his weapon looks a bit strange, its quality is definitely not bad. If you want it, you will lose the priority to choose it after entering the treasure house. Only the treasures that others don't want can be distributed to you."
The middle-aged armored man emphasized the team rules when he saw this companion speak, and explained his judgment of the man just now. Although the other party was very reckless, the quality of the weapon he carried was very good, so it would not necessarily be a loss to choose it this way.
However, just as he finished speaking, the hooded mage Adams suddenly made a surprised voice:
"Look! The blood on the head has disappeared!"
The middle-aged armored man and the petite female assassin who were talking immediately looked up at the rock wall above the passage, and found that the pattern of blood just produced had returned to its original state, which meant that the battle in the passage was over! It ended much faster than they expected!
"Hahaha! I was wrong! I didn't expect him to die so quickly! Not even one percent of the solar time! This is definitely the funniest thing I have encountered since entering the tower!"
The hooded mage then laughed uncontrollably, and a few crystals flowed from the corners of his eyes, as if he had been made to shed tears by the unexpected result in front of him.
Although the two people next to him did not laugh as exaggeratedly as him, they also raised their mouth corners, and flashed a look of contempt or disdain in their eyes, and were speechless about the ending of Wang Zhifan who rushed in recklessly.
However, what these people did not know was that the facts were actually completely opposite to what they thought.
Not only did Wang Zhifan not die, he also killed the opponent he met quickly, which caused the situation that the blood light of the human head pattern disappeared quickly. After all, the battle ended when the enemy was killed.
However, in their subconscious cognition, they could not believe that such a thing would happen, so they naturally could not think in this direction.
Time went back to when Wang Zhifan entered the human head passage. When he first stepped into this place, he did not move forward all the way, but used the dream of my clone to explore first, but before the clone found any enemy first, he suddenly felt that he had come to a new space.
There was no entity above, below, left, or right here. The whole person floated in the air as if weightless. In the slightly dark space, the most conspicuous was a huge black human head statue like a hill.
This statue looked very heavy, but its reaction was not slow at all. At the moment Wang Zhifan appeared, its eyes emitted two purple spell lights to start the attack, which was avoided by Wang Zhifan's sensitive movement of his body.
But the next second, its eyes directly increased its offensive power, from emitting two spell lights to emitting four, which made Wang Zhifan understand that its routine was indeed like the kind that became stronger the longer it dragged.
