The famous circular altar of Arret's Sacred Mountain is the gateway to the Stone Fortress of the World, and the last point of supply along the way.

As long as you can pass the test of the altar, there will be a completely safe area behind, including a mountain path and the outer perimeter of the World Stone Fortress. I don't know when several huts have been built here, including inns, blacksmiths, and potions, to provide resting and recuperation for players who have worked hard to make the trek here.

"I've also played Diablo 2...... Isn't it possible to get here quickly after exiting the teleportation station of the Ancient Path? Cheng Peng listened to Shen Qi's introduction and asked curiously, "This journey is very simple, is there a need for supplies?" ”

"Going up the mountain from the ancient road is a treatment that only the protagonist can enjoy, we players are just dragons and miscellaneous fish, the ancient road is not open to us at all, we can only fight hard from the bottom of the mountain." Shen Qi pointed to the hillside below that was shrouded in fog and said, "This hillside is terrifyingly steep, and there are so many monsters of all kinds, and the most important thing is that it is not even a copy mode, but a large map that is infinitely open...... The speed of monster farming can be imagined! ”

"Although we can fly up on the Arowana, the vast majority of players don't have this kind of mount that can disperse those monsters in the air and fly up directly from the bottom of the mountain just by relying on their own coercion...... So they had to fight their way through the ever-changing and crumbling mountains as they fought their way through the ever-changing and crumbling mountains...... The vast majority of people arrive here exhausted and in need of supplies. Adventure 23

"But...... Didn't I remember this place to be put to the test, to fight the three ancient Guardians? ”

"Yes, but as long as you take the test once, you can pass it directly in the future - the test is a copy, and it doesn't affect the hurry." Shen Qi was naturally familiar with the situation here, and explained to him, "It doesn't affect business." ”

"That guy who came up with the idea of setting up shop here is a genius!"

"Well, he's a bit of a genius, and basically whenever he goes to a place, the first thing he thinks about is whether there are business opportunities here, whether there are opportunities to make money...... If it weren't for the arrival of Datong World, maybe he would have become a world-famous businessman! ”

Cheng Peng frowned slowly, he felt that the person Shen Qi was talking about was ...... It seems a bit familiar......

This feeling was soon verified - when they walked through a group of stone pillars overgrown with creepers, they suddenly saw a puppet girl with white hair, simple clothes, delicate and beautiful face, but a cold expression, holding a sign that read "Welcome to the Arrett Mountain Service Area of Fengyue Merchant Bank", standing on the side of the road as a greeting, and immediately reacted. --（

Fengyue Firm! Isn't this the shop of the 'traitor'!

"This guy is amazing! A service area was built on the top of Mount Arret...... Why didn't the barbarians of Harogas tear down his illegal buildings? ”

"Those people can't get in." Shen Qi couldn't help but laugh a little and said, "The three guardians are iron-faced and selfless, no matter what the reason, if you want to go up the mountain, you have to be tested. The NPCs of Harogas couldn't pass the test at all, so they could only watch him build illegally in the mountaintop holy place, and he was so angry that he couldn't do anything about it. ”

"This guy is really talented!"

The two laughed as they slowly made their way through the toppled stone complex, which was still a dungeon area, and no matter how many players were walking through the nearly half-ruined complex, all they could see was their teammates.

If you want to meet other players, you must pass through the large ring in front of you, which is the open safe zone.

The two of them came to a moment in front of the ring-shaped altar made of solid granite, and stopped for a moment.

In the center of the altar stands a stone platform, on which is placed a magic book made of unknown metal, and on the three corners of the altar, there are three bronze statues of gold "color".

These three bronze statues are warriors who were inspired by the spirit of the sacred mountain in ancient times, and they volunteered to become the guardians of the sacred mountain, becoming immortal beings and guarding the sacred mountain forever.

Everyone who wants to move forward must activate the magic in the spellbook, and then the three Guardians will awaken and attack. Only by defeating them and passing their test can we be qualified to move forward.

Of course, the system is not unkind, and it will not force everyone to burst out with their strength - the three guardians are all seven-star NPCs, and it is definitely impossible for the vast majority of players to fight three. In fact, players can form teams up to 20 people per team!

As long as there are no people in the team who have passed the test, the magic can be activated smoothly. And if you can't defeat the three Guardians with the strength of twenty people...... Then let's go down the mountain and continue leveling, the World Stone Fortress is not for guys like you who are not strong enough.

In other words, this "Test of the Ancient Guardians" is a copy of twenty people...... But Cheng Peng and his team only have two people. Adventure 23

"It's a little crazy to have a copy of two people over twenty people."

"That can't be said, the twenty people of this dungeon are for six-star players, and seven-star players don't need so many people to form a team in the first place." Shen Qi knows the information of the dark world well, and he can say it without checking the information, "The current record for the lowest number of people to challenge this dungeon is held by the elite adventure team of the 'Blood' Crown', three people. ”

"Three people? One? ”

"It's not one-to-one, it's one-to-three." Shen Qi shook his head and emphasized a detail, "Those three people happen to be the classic battle method of the Iron Triangle, the warrior is responsible for frontal resistance, the mage is responsible for output and field control, and the priest is responsible for adding blood and support...... A battle lasted for two hours, but fortunately, none of the three Guardians recovered their skills, so they slowly grinded to death. ”

"What a lack of courage!" Cheng Peng unceremoniously gave a bad comment to the three masters who fought hard for two hours to set a record - when there were only two of them, he would often say something from time to time that he would not normally say, which can be regarded as the original form of "dew".

Husband and wife are the most intimate relationship in the world, even if they are usually sanctimonious characters, when husband and wife get along in private, they often show that they are not so upright and not so tall.

Cheng Peng is no exception.

For his performance, Shen Qi not only did not feel abnormal, but liked it very much, perhaps it was her instigation that in turn contributed to Cheng Peng's transformation when there were no outsiders......

"Qiqi, you can help me take a camera next to you, I'll try one to three." Cheng Peng smiled, took out the spear, put on the golden armor, and the Lun Divine Script under the tip of Kungunir's spear spun rapidly.

A smart player will make reasonable use of various system settings to increase their chances of winning as much as possible, and since this challenge does not prevent players from using some buffs for themselves before the battle, then Cheng Peng naturally needs to prepare well.

Shen Qi was not idle, she walked around the altar, looking for suitable camera spots, and then set up the camera elves one by one.

In fact, if you use the panoramic camera mode produced by the system, you can easily get high-quality all-round video, and it is easy to edit and cut as much as you want. But the charging standard of the panoramic camera mode is too high, and Shen Qi, who has always liked to spend general points on the knife edge, always tries to avoid using this tricky function as much as possible.

After about ten minutes, Shen Qi's setup work had been completed, and Cheng Peng's combat preparations had come to an end.

The ruan inscription that swirled around Kungunir had gradually stopped, but what was "revealed" in this stagnation was not a feeling of slowness and weakness, but a calm that was like a volcano about to erupt, full of pressure and spirit.

Anyone can see that at this moment, these divine texts have accumulated terrifying power, and once they burst out, they will have earth-shattering power!

Cheng Peng, who was ready, took a deep breath, took a step forward, and reached out and pressed on the metal magic book.

You have arrived at the altar on Mount Arret, which is guarded by the ancient guardians, and if you want to advance, you must pass their test - defeat them! Only the strongest warriors are eligible to travel to the World Stone! 】

He was about to prepare for battle, but received a second message from the system.

[Note: If the challenger is detected to also have the identity of an 'Ancient Hero', you can activate the special challenge mode, which is only a special battle of the "sexual" nature of the easter egg, which does not affect the normal task flow, but may cause the difficulty of this battle to increase.] Do you activate the Special Challenge mode? 】

Cheng Peng was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

"Interesting!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed [Yes] on the virtual screen in the air. Adventure 23
