Chapter 950: Seeking the Secret in the Center of the Earth (23)

A cold wind blew out of the deep secret passage, and an ominous cold wind blew out from the underground palace of the Jilimajaro volcano, as if to warn the intruders that there was great danger hidden in this underground palace.

Sir Cador read aloud:

"Now, in the first place according to the average number of points: Group 9 - Bereld, Logan, Hilhardt. You're ready to go. Gladiator Bereld, Wizard Logan, and Viking warrior Hillhart nodded to the examiners and walked into the secret passage.

The scene was as dead silent. Candidates are looking forward to being named in their group so that they can start the exam.

It was five minutes before Kador turned his gaze to his electronic notepad and read: "Second place in the average points: group 22 - Farris, Beite, Melun. You're ready to go. Sharpshooter Faris, Poison Master Beit, and Scimitar Molon nodded to the examiners, and then walked into the Jilimanjaro Volcano Underground Palace.

Only then did Bediwell understand what was going on. This is what Kay previously referred to as a "points advantage".

The order in which the candidates start is calculated based on the average of the scores of the candidates in that group.

Bereld, Logan, Hilhart, Farris, Beiter, and Morun were the first to arrive at Mount Jilimanjaro in the first stage of the exam. When they are placed on the same team, their score is much higher than that of the other teams, and the two teams are scheduled to set off first.

And the fifteenth group where Bediwell is located, because the points of werewolves and Solal are very low, it also drags the "chief" Tristan back in disguise, and it is estimated that he will be arranged to set off in a very late time.

According to the current arrangement, a team is released every five minutes, and the Bediville are expected to have to wait one or two hours before they can leave. They are far behind the other teams from the start, and the shape will be very disadvantageous.

No. Their situation is not the worst. Bediwell looked sympathetically at Albert's team.

The Tiger team consisted of Albert, Elaine, and Chanel, and they were all the last candidates to reach Mount Jilimanjaro, which means that all three of them were crane tails. Without a doubt, their average ranking is 42nd - the team that was placed at the end of the race. In this way, only a group of people is released every five minutes, and the Tiger's team has to wait until three and a half hours later to set off!

Thinking of this, Albert clenched his fists unwillingly.

Time, fate, and luck. Some people are unlucky and lose at the starting line from the start. How can the gap between them and the first place be made up for by 3.5 hours?!

While the tiger was wondering, Kador had already used the electronic notepad in his hand to project the number of candidates in groups and the average ranking, and used the stone wall of the cave as a screen to show each candidate.

Bediwell glanced at it hurriedly, only concerned about the situation of his companions:

Group 15: Bediwell, Tristan, Solal (average position 32)Group 23: Albert, Elaine, Chanel (average position 42)Group 27: Paramidis, Evan (average position 15)Group 37: Zhalfir, Segrade, Mordred (average position 35)Sure enough, Bediwell's heart tightened, they were ranked 32nd, and they had to wait at least an hour before the exam started.

Tristan immediately lost his energy, and lay down against the stone wall of the cave: "Alas, I'll sleep first, and then wake me up when the time comes!" "Sleep, my friend." I'm in charge of standing guard. Solal was tolerant of the Fish-Man Prince's rudeness.

And Bediwell simply sat down with his back against the cave wall, took out all the weapons in his hand and continued to recuperate. He didn't really have much to do, that is, to continue sharpening the wooden arrows and sharpening the knife to kill time.

The wait time is long and boring. But the more they waited, the more nervous the candidates became, and they all rubbed their hands uneasily and impatiently.

The team that is placed later in the departure is at a greater disadvantage - not only is "that thing" in the dungeon easily acquired by the team that starts first, but there will also be fewer and fewer monsters in the dungeon, because they are all hunted by the team that starts first.

But there is no way to do it, who calls them not good enough for others, or bad luck, and are dragged down by the crane tails in the same team.

But luck is also a form of strength.

Guys who are unlucky by nature will eventually be at a disadvantage in various important tests and become a loser in life. Only those who have both strength and do not lose luck can truly climb to the highest peak of reputation and status and achieve the hegemony of emperors and generals.

Thinking of this, Bedwell couldn't help but raise his head again and cast his gaze far away at Albert on the other side of the cave. Not only is the strength of the tiger far inferior to that of people, but even the luck is extremely poor. Just looking at it makes the werewolf's heart ache immensely.

It was only about half an hour later that the Knight of the Round Table called out, "Fifteenth in the average points ranking: Twenty-seventh - Palamides and Evan." You're ready to go. After being named, the leopard warrior walked past his sons: "Let's go first, you have to come on." "Come on, Dad, meow. "Good luck meow. Both cats replied at the same time.

The Leopard Warrior nodded, and with Ivan, he stepped into the Jilimanjaro Volcano Underground Palace.

"You seem familiar with the terrain here?" Ivan asked curiously, seeing that Palamides was walking with ease.

"Oh, I've been here once. The big cat walked cautiously with a spear, shuttling through this complex dungeon with countless forks in the road: "Remember, Arthur called me to help Kai seven years ago. I followed his signals and finally found this place. "Well, this is indeed the—" "Yes, the place where [Flame Demon Sword - Revatin] is sealed. The Leopard Warrior explained in a low voice, "And it's also the home of the guardians of the Demon Sword, the Fire Giants." The hometown of Kay's wife, Frey. Hey, hey, looking back now, it's really funny. I was ordered to come to Kai, but I was chased by Frey for dozens of kilometers and almost died in her flames.

The matter was eventually resolved, and Kai also got the Flame Demon Sword from Frey, and even married such a hot beauty as his daughter-in-law. It's really gratifying. "But that's not all. Ivan interrupted Palamides, "There must have been something going on that made this place look like this, right?" he rubbed the walls of the dungeon, his fingers sticking a thin layer of frost. It's hard to imagine a volcanic dungeon surrounded by geothermal heat and lava suddenly turning into such a bone-chilling ice cave. The mutation here is absolutely abnormal - so abnormal!

"Then again, what did [the Flame Demon Sword] do with in the end?" Ivan asked.

He thought back to the final battle of the [Battle of the Five Kings] seven years ago.

At that time, Arthur defeated the Grand Duke of Parinlore, and there should have been no opponent, but he was pursued by the ebony knight Gonser, who suddenly rushed into the venue.

Beware of the unscrupulous person holding the [Flame Sword - Revatin], and the magic sword will take on a cursed form - surrounded by terrifying black flames, [Sword of Extermination - Ragnarok].

Under the joint efforts of everyone, the [Sword of the King] in Arthur's hand collided with the [Sword of Extermination], and both of them broke. The Sword of Extermination, which was broken in two, was taken away by Kai and Frey.

They should have sealed that terrifying sword forever, somewhere in the world. However, seven years ago, at the end of the [Dawning War], Evan once again witnessed Kai take out the magic sword and use it.

Or, rather, he took out half of the magic sword, which was the hilt of the Flame Demon Sword. It was used against one of Morgan's Emerald Knights, burning the stubborn Emerald Knight to ashes.

The hilt of the magic sword that Kai took out should still be kept by Kai and his wife, and only they know its whereabouts in the world.

But what about the other half of the magic sword, the sword body of Revatin?

"What are you doing in a daze?" Palamides tapped Ivan on the head with the handle of his gun, "We can't afford to be lazy with [the guest] coming." "An enemy has sprung out of the intricate passages of the dungeon and appeared in front of the big cat and the half-dragon youth.

The monster was strangely shaped, and its whole body was made up of rocks and ice crystals - no, it was more accurate, it was a rock the size of a man, with only its hands and feet being ice crystals. The hands and feet of the strange monster are controlled by some kind of magical power, which makes the seemingly lifeless ice block form joints, constructing complex movements.

The walking block of ice was slowly walking towards the leopard warrior and the half-dragon youth, and his arms were even more transformed into five-foot-long ice blades.

"Damn!" Ivan drew his saber in frustration, "I'm unlucky, I chose the wrong weapon!" The sword he drew was a weapon enchanted with ice, and judging from the frosty aura that emanated from the sword, it was more focused on freezing the opponent when slashing. Of course, this weapon is of little use to an enemy that is already made up of ice and stones, and can only be wielded as a sharper blade.

Palamides also drew his spear, his Mithril spear with a thunderbolt arc of lightning, very handsome. But its electric shock power was not much better than Ivan's Frost Sword - and it was useless against such an insulating monster made entirely of stone.

Although he had a spare weapon insert that emitted heat, it was too late to change it at this moment.

"Hey, hey, it looks like neither of us was lucky. Palamides raised his gun and pointed it at the monster, ready to sprint: "Okay, let's get on it like this!" The two of them rushed out at the same time and attacked the monster!
