"Sure enough, a new area should be opened now." Xia Chiyu said, came to the operating table and pulled the lever down, only to see that the stone wall blocking the way in front of him suddenly flashed with a burst of magic array light, and then the stone wall disappeared, and a dark passage with a diameter of about twenty meters appeared. Xia Chiyu noticed that it was just enough for the previous mountaintop cave man to act.

"This is supposed to be the passage for the cavemen to transport the materials needed to make the golems, right?" Xia Chiyu muttered to himself, and the four magic puppets began to move forward, while Xia Chiyu and the others continued to follow.

After advancing like this for a while, they came to a stone wall again, and this time, without waiting for them to act, the four magic golems took the initiative to use the identification circle on their bodies to open the secret door.

Behind the secret door is another material warehouse, which seems to be a research institute, with some structural drawings of magic arrays and various grades of magic stones. The Philosopher's Stone is designed to power these magic golems and the like, but they are not currently available to the player, and will only be used to power some city equipment during city building matters.

"Project of the Ancient Kings...... This is Elrond's research room. Xia Chiyu looked at a copy of the text on the table and said.

"Can I go back now? The dungeon is already clear, what are we still doing here? Li Feifei said dissatisfied.

"Satisfy your brother's curiosity! You're good, after taking the equipment and experience, you will cross the river and tear down the bridge? Xia Chiyu said, flicking it on Li Feifei's forehead, the little girl covered her forehead and stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously: "I know, you just see it." I just want to go back and try out new weapons......"

Xia Chiyu continued to look around the research institute, and what made Xia Chiyu curious was that this place was different from many areas he had seen before. There are a lot of reels that can be viewed. Normally, AO is a library with a few simple summary sentences, not a whole book, but almost every scroll here can be viewed.

And each one has different content recorded on it, most of which are about how to make magic machines, and many of them are the application techniques of magic arrays. How to use the magic stone as the core to make the magic array work and the like is so comprehensive that Xia Chiyu has to believe it, and he believes that it can be realized in reality. If there's such a thing as a philosopher's stone......

Just as Xia Chiyu was walking and watching, he suddenly felt a sinking on his shoulder, and he didn't think too much, just reached out to brush off the foreign object on his shoulder. But all he felt was a slimy touch on his hands.

"What are you doing...... Xia Chiyu frowned and looked over his shoulder. It was a drop of saliva-like liquid, and when I looked up, I saw a hole the size of a watermelon in the ceiling, which seemed to have been brought out of the dormitory by the water for a long time.

Xia Chiyu was sure that he noticed a strange yellow light flashing from behind him. At this moment, the four magic golems suddenly stopped and spun in place, as if looking for something.

"Warning. Threat detected. Crazy Yan raised his hair slightly and gave a warning, Xia Chiyu was stunned. Then, before everyone could react, a loud bang was heard, and an incomparably huge black shadow in front of them smashed through the ceiling, and then instantly enveloped the body of the wild flame, engulfing it. Several girls screamed in fright.

"Damn, what scares me......" Xia Chiyu was also frightened, and turned his head to see that it was an incomparably huge snake head. This snake is really huge, with a diameter of four or five meters alone, and before its mouth is fully opened, it swallows the madness whole, and the hydra hatchlings he has encountered before can only be said to be cubs in front of this giant snake.

"Ahhh Lin Qianxue hugged her head and screamed, and the huge eyes with a diameter of more than one meter on the head of the hydra grunted a little, staring at Lin Qianxue and the others who were screaming on the side. Looking at the expressions of Zhang Zinuo and the others, it seemed that they were so frightened that they couldn't walk, and they sat down on the ground with trembling legs.

"Hey, this volume ......" Xia Chiyu looked at the snake head in front of him, it was so huge that just one head blocked the entire research room, and he hadn't seen the snake neck area yet. He looked up, and it was hard to imagine how big the giant snake really was. However, he had read in some literature that each of the Elder Dragons was more than 100 meters long.

So, there is no doubt that this should be Hydra Gaznos...... One of the heads is up.

"It makes more sense to fight it with just one head...... This should be the real boss fight, right? Xia Chiyu thought secretly, and then Gaznos slowly raised its head, hissing and staring at him with a snake letter.

"I remember you, I remember your scent, human ......" the head hissed, his voice hoarse and low, "the smell of you, I call it the revenge of blood, can you agree?" Human ......"

"Ah, I couldn't agree more." Xia Chiyu smiled, although he didn't know if this AI had a response mechanism.

"In your human terms, blood pays ......," Gaznos' head hissed, its mouth arching back slightly, the ceiling above its head crushed like tofu.

It's coming. Xia Chiyu thought secretly, then raised his right hand, and turned on the spiritual force field the moment the giant snake pounced, and then a soft sound of glass shattering came, and before Xia Chiyu could react, the snake head had already pounced in front of him.

But he only pounced in front of him, stopping about half a meter away from him. Because the previous movement was too fast, Xia Chiyu didn't see how the bloody mouth opened, but after Gaznos's mouth was fully opened, it was no longer something that this small research institute could hold, it was like a shovel, digging a deep hole in the floor and ceiling along the way, and the fangs more than a meter long had been attached to Xia Chiyu's back.

"I'll rely on ......" Xia Chiyu couldn't help but tremble for a while, anyone standing in front of such a bloody mouth, and it was such a real physical system that completely reproduced the real scene, he could even smell a strong fishy smell from this bloody mouth.

But when he came back to his senses, he realized why the snake head had stopped, and the two magic guards of the mountains and the cold tide pushed the corners of the snake's mouth from both sides, barely blocking it. The traces of gliding on the ground were three or four meters long.

"A threat is detected, ready to begin an exclusion operation. Those who are not related to the construction immediately began to evacuate. The flowing wind said, dancing gracefully. Coming to Xia Chiyu, he raised the longbow in his hand and aimed it at Gaznos's mouth and released several arrows, and several wind arrows shot out and disappeared into Gaznos's mouth.

"Woohoo!" The sound of the arrow sounded, and then Gaznos was in pain and struggled frantically, but only this head was still moving here. Xia Chiyu knew that this was because it was too large. The other snakeheads were too far away from here, and they were operating underground, so they couldn't catch up for a while. With the help of the remaining three magic golems, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat a snake head.

Taking advantage of the pain in Gaznos, Xia Chiyu raised his hand to Gaznos's mouth and shouted, "Dark Flame Technique." Fireballs! ”

Dark red fireballs fired wildly into Gaznos's mouth. A flash of fire came from it. However, in this way, Xia Chiyu discovered that the life of Gaznos was actually fifteen million!

Moreover, Xia Chiyu's series of fireballs just now had about 10,000 damage when it hit ordinary monsters, but when it hit Gaznos, it only caused less than 5,000 damage. Thinking about it like this, Xia Chiyu remembered. It is true that each of the Elder Dragons possesses terrifying magical and physical resistances, and Gaznos is the weakest of them all.

But. Although not as resistant as other Elder Dragons, Gaznos has its own unique ability: the powerful ability to restore fù. So even though Xia Chiyu had lost more than 5,000 of its health, he had already begun to recover immediately.

"It's impossible to kill!" Xia Chiyu said in disbelief, "Even if it is a fixed amount of blood, it is impossible for twenty people to kill it if they hit the wooden stake until their bodies are exhausted and their fighting qi is exhausted!" This battle ......"

Then, Xia Chiyu suddenly realized: This battle is probably not a boss battle, but a CG animation.

"Ahh Stupid humans! Do you think this little trick can hurt me!? Gaznos roared, then flicked his head to shake off the cold wave and mountains blocking it on both sides, the two magic guards were knocked away, and they slid backwards for a short distance to stop, and the three magic guards immediately grabbed two of Xia Chiyu's and flew forward around the snake's head.

"The threat is too strong, and the non-related personnel immediately went to evacuate." The mountains dragged Xia Chiyu and Lin Qianxue forward and replied. But Gaznos behind him had already turned his head and chased after them. It was rampage through the Institute, and nothing could stop it in its tracks, and despite the speed of the magic golem, the distance was still decreasing.

"Hey, hurry up! It's going to be overtaken! Li Feifei anxiously patted the armor of the cold wave and urged.

Even if Xia Chiyu knew that this was a scene similar to the CG link, he still felt extremely nervous under the chase of Gaznos in the rear. They followed the institute forward, and Xia Chiyu didn't know what was waiting for them in front of them, but after continuing to move forward for a while, the four magic puppets stopped, and they also came to a teleportation point.

"Please evacuate immediately." The three magic golems said as they threw them into the elevator-like teleportation point. Then the cold wave and the mountains turned and headed towards Gaznos, but now that they had come to a relatively wide area, Gaznos had more room to move, and with a deft twist, it took the cold wave in its mouth and swallowed it.

Immediately, Gaznos flicked again, trying to crash into the mountains, but the mountains reached out and pressed to the ground, summoning a stone wall to block the blow, and they themselves were knocked away. Taking advantage of the struggle between the mountains and Gaznos, the flowing wind activated the teleportation array.

"For the honor of the Empire." Liufeng raised his right hand flat to his chest, saluted Xia Chiyu and the others, and then turned his head to join the battle with Gaznos. As the vision in front of Xia Chiyu and the six of them gradually collapsed into green 0s and 1s, they just saw Gaznos open his mouth to bite the mountains, instantly crush them into a pile of circles and spit them out, and then opened his mouth and pounced towards the flowing wind.

"No—!" The roar of the hydra Gaznos echoed in the rear, but the scenery in front of Xia Chiyu and the others had completely dissipated and reconstituted a new scene.

"I thought I was really going to die...... Lin Qianxue fell to the ground and complained with a crying voice.

"Those four magic puppets, I suddenly think they are so handsome......" Liu Yiyu covered her mouth and sighed, Li Feifei also knelt on the ground and folded her hands and said, "Yes, I'm really sorry for scolding you when I fought before......

Xia Chiyu pulled Lin Qianxue and Zhang Zinuo to stand up from the ground and sighed: "This scene is really well designed. It's real, and the final moves of the four magic golems are magnificent, but ...... I still haven't explained the matter of Gaznos and the first alchemist of the empire, Eldron......"

said. Xia Chiyu looked around and said to himself, "What kind of place is this?" ”

They were teleported to a dilapidated log cabin, which was someone's dwelling, and from the dust it had not been inhabited for a long time, but strangely there was no moss, no other creatures nesting here, and it was supposed to be protected by some kind of power and magic array. Xia Chiyu looked in this room. A large number of studies were found.

"Damn, it's all the research materials of the first alchemist Elrond on the magic circle!" Xia Chiyu said in surprise, and then all the research materials in front of him turned into a blue light and disappeared. Then there's a "Congratulations!" The words emerged from in front of them, Xia Chiyu clicked and checked it, and it was written below that "The new version of the content is about to be launched, check it out in advance"!

"What!? NEW VERSION! Xia Chiyu said in surprise. But Zhang Zinuo and the four didn't seem to see the news. Wen Yan also asked in surprise, "What?" What's new? ”

Most of the version updates in AO are promoted by the players themselves, and unless the players have not developed new content for a long time, and the profits of the game company have declined, the white crane company will launch a new version on its own. The reason for the stagnation of the version is also mainly due to the fact that players who explore the new world are hindered by the princely generals.

For example, before, in order to prevent the change of a generation of princely generals, some princes sent people to snipe in the unknown world to explore the new version of the expedition, and the eighty-five version stayed for nearly a year. As a result, the White Crane Company forcibly updated the version, raising the level cap and updating a large number of new content. Players had to get used to the new version again.

The veteran players who were already familiar with the content of the game suddenly became novices, even the princes and generals. In the past, after the version update, most of the princely generals could basically be retained, but this time not only did most of the princely generals change and did not keep their positions, but also caused players to scold.

In between, the prince will never do such a stupid thing again. Of course, the version change doesn't have much impact on the tournament server, as all player levels on the tournament server are balanced to level 70. And it has been about half a year since the ninetieth level, but the new version has not been discovered for a long time, Xia Chiyu originally thought that something similar had happened again, but who wants to ......

"It turns out that I am in the wrong place, and the content of the new version is not in the Continent of Mysteries." Xia Chiyu muttered to himself.

Next, he clicked on the new version of the content, which is a privilege exclusive to players who discover the new version. Players who discover a new version can also make a profit by selling gossip to the game's black merchants, who will then see the changes in the version and raise the price of materials that are not worth much but are important for the next version, and then make a lot of money.

However, Xia Chiyu obviously won't do this, he has been cheated by these black businessmen many times, and the money these black businessmen buy news and their profit ratio is simply a drop in the bucket.

Xia Chiyu looked at the content of the next version, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "This is ......"

"What's up, what's in the next version?" Li Feifei jumped onto Xia Chiyu's back and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, there's no level cap increase, no class changes, it's just ...... It's interesting to have a new career and a new manufacturing major. Xia Chiyu said with interest.

"Really? What new profession, and the manufacturing profession? Zhang Zinuo tilted his head and asked curiously.

Xia Chiyu explained briefly, in fact, the new profession and the new manufacturing profession are related to what he found this time, that is, the information of Elrond. The new class is the "Array Mage", which uses a variety of magic circles to fight; The new manufacturing specialty is "magic weapons", which use magic circles and magic stones to create new magic weapons and magic golems.

"Are magic golems and magic weapons finally coming out?" Xia Chiyu muttered to himself, "Then the price of the magic stone that no one uses now should rise wildly, right?" ”

"Won't it?" Lin Qianxue frowned and said, "Now the production of magic stones is so large, and the demand is so small, no one except for the people who built the main city use it." And among so many players, how many people can own a territory? ”

This class uses a variety of magic circles to fight, and the advantage is that it does not need to consume blue and chant, as long as there are circle scrolls and rune paper, it can cast spells infinitely and instantly; The disadvantage is that the array mage needs to prepare the circle drawings in advance, and there is an upper limit on the number of circles to carry and the level of magic.

So, in fact, this profession is similar to that of a mage, but the number of spell casts may be more than that of a mage, but the compound magic circle and the like are difficult to depict, so you should prepare in advance before starting the battle every day.

In addition, the magic weapon is very interesting, each player can carry a number of magic weapons that can be used several times, and they can also carry a magic golem. The power of these magic weapons and magic golems increases depending on the maker's abilities and the magic stones used, but cannot be used in PvP.

Because magic golems recognize enemies, if the player counts the player as an enemy, the player who uses them will also be counted as enemies, and magic weapons are not suitable for use in PvP battles because they require temporary equipment to use. From this point of view, the new version of the content should not affect the current PVP style.

However, there are some large magic weapons, such as airplanes and tanks, which require multiple players to operate, which is more interesting. Moreover, Xia Chiyu continued to look down and found that the new profession and the new manufacturing profession were all prepared for this matter, and this is probably the most important content of the new version.

"A new type of forty-player dungeon/field boss, the Fury of the Elder Dragon......" Xia Chiyu muttered to himself, "It's finally here." ”

The so-called Wrath of the Elder Dragon, needless to say, is naturally a battle with the Elder Dragon.

In this version, the player will be fighting one part of the Elder Dragon, while the other part will be a potential ally of the player. But to destroy the Elder Dragons, players are left on their own.

"An ordinary dragon is enough to fight the armies of half a country, and to put it bluntly, there are at least two thousand players above level 50. If you convert it into a minimum of 100 level 70 players, even if it is level 80 players, there will be at least 20 or so, which is almost impossible to achieve in the current version. Xia Chiyu explained to Zhang Zinuo and others.

"So, even if you want some advanced level players?" Lin Qianxue pursed her lips and said, "However, the current version of the level cap has not been raised." Generally, the difficulty of leveling down will be reduced after leveling up, right? ”

After the player's level cap is raised, in order to avoid too high leveling difficulty, the low-level monster AI will be appropriately reduced, so that the high-level players will always remain in a small but not scarce ratio. Xia Chiyu nodded and said, "Yes, so to defeat this boss, you either rely on the collection of high-level players, or you rely on this new manufacturing profession." ”

"Magic golems and magic weapons? Ay? It's no wonder that Fish eats and says that the price of the Philosopher's Stone is going to rise. Lin Qianxue sighed.

"Okay, that's about it. The rest is nothing more than some new versions of drops and newly opened artifacts and holy artifacts and the like, so I won't look at it. Xia Chiyu said, canceling the content of the new version and sighed, "So, it looks like my death gaze debuff will not be eliminated until the next version." ”

"That said, the news ...... I can't announce it to the public, right? Zhang Zinuo asked hesitantly, Liu Yiyu held his chin and smiled innocently: "It's best not to tell them, otherwise those black businessmen will raise the price again." But I can buy a lot of them myself, and sell them to others at a high price. Hee-hee. ”

"Don't think about it." Xia Chiyu knocked her head on the side, "If the system determines that you have hoarded a large amount of something, it will block your account." You think that black merchants are so easy to be, they need to prepare a lot of accounts, and store items on them separately to take and sell, most of them rely on some automatic scripts, and there is also the danger of banning. ”

Saying that, Xia Chiyu sighed and said, "Okay, anyway, let's go back first, and tell the content of this upcoming new version to the middle two swordsmen." (To be continued......)
