Chapter 290: Luck (Ai)
"You all come down!" Under Alfie's careful manipulation, a spiraling downward path of ice crystals appeared in front of Rebecca and the others.
Alfie estimated the distance, and was almost at the point where the water barrier had been, as evidenced by the slight change in the ice surface in front of him. Alfie noticed that the ice surface of the ice below had darkened significantly, indicating that the barrier that had been frozen along with the pool was still there.
Hearing Alfie's greeting, Zambit, who couldn't wait, rushed down first. The anxious Zambit even ignored the ice steps that Alfie had deliberately created, and instead used the entire tunnel as a giant ice slide and slid straight down from it.
Rebecca and Barnett couldn't bear to cover their eyes, such a high spiral slide, they would definitely be dizzy if they slid down. Sure enough, when the two of them came to the end of the road, Zambit, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was lying on the ground with gold stars in his eyes, and he couldn't care about the biting chill coming from the ice at this time.
"Did you mean to?" Rebecca asked softly.
"Can I be blamed for this?" Alfie glanced at Rebecca, "You are all persecuted people, if I had done it on purpose, you and Barnett would have been like Zambit by now!
Alfie's dissatisfaction made Rebecca, who knew that she was speechless, look embarrassed, it was really Alfie's impression on her that was too bad, which made her think badly of everything.
"The view is so beautiful, haha. Barnett chuckled dryly, relieving tension wasn't what dwarves were good at.
"Indeed, it's like a crystal palace. "The crystal clear ice crystals glow with a mesmerizing halo under the torches, and they look beautiful. Rebecca wouldn't mind staying here if she could.
"Let's talk about the scenery later. Alfie tapped the ice beneath his feet, "I'll emphasize now that there's an invisible barrier in the waterhole not far below. I'll pour the corrosive agent on it in a moment. No one can predict what will happen next, so I hope you will be prepared for any danger. ”
"Alfie, don't be alarmist. Don't you notice that the danger you prophesied hasn't happened once since you entered this cavern?" said Zambit, relieved, rising from the ground.
"Indeed, as if we were not in any danger. Barnett nodded, compared to what happened to Serent and the others, it was not too easy to be with Alfie, it was like a vacation.
"Enough of you!" Alfie was bitter and didn't know who to pour it to. A few of them felt that there was no danger, but they didn't know that almost all the dangers they might encounter were strangled in the cradle by Alfie. The devil knows how much Alfie has paid.
Alfie even felt that in the future, the cause of his death would not be to be sucked dry by the Demon Notes, but to be squeezed out of his brain by these living treasures.
"Alright, alright, stop making a fuss. Forcibly breaking the barrier will cause a magic backlash, don't you even have this common sense?" Rebecca couldn't stand it anymore. This level is almost all due to Alfie, and of course Zambit has also contributed a lot. She and Barnett were a bit less than satisfactory.
This made Rebecca's self-esteem a little unbearable, she wasn't here to be a vase.
"That's true. The last time Celent broke the barrier, he caused a huge waterspout, this time it can't be an ice tornado, right?" Seeing that Rebecca had spoken, Barnett hurriedly made up for her.
"Ice tornado?" Zambit shuddered unconsciously, he was fed up with the biting chill.
"We're going to have to get through this as soon as possible anyway, it's been too long. Alfie didn't seem to take Barnett's words to heart, he raised the spoon in his hand, "Are you ready? I'm going to start~"
"Come on!" Zambit clenched the spear in his hand, he had already made up his mind that if he did produce an ice tornado, he would immediately dig out the cave. Poor Zambit doesn't know that as long as he enters here, it is equivalent to going on a one-way street, and he can't get out of trouble unless he clears all ten levels.
Under the nervous gaze of the other three, Alfie slowly poured the corrosive potion onto the ice, and after a corrosive sound, the barrier under the ice that was originally an enchantment disappeared.
The expected mutation didn't happen, as if the barrier had never existed.
"I'll just say it~ Alfie, your danger prophecy has long been gone!" Zambit waved his fist excitedly, he couldn't count the first time he could speak to Alfie like this as a winner. In fact, after entering this level, Alfie predicted the danger of failure too many times.
"No danger is better!Let's get down!" Alfie glared at Zambit helplessly.
At the same time as the corrosive agent destroyed the barrier, a piercing alarm sounded from the underground of Ingnier's laboratory: "Alarm, alarm. Significant dangerous goods found...... Analyzing...... The results showed that the dangerous goods came from the Potion Creation...... It is recommended to increase the threat level of the flask...... Proposal adopted...... Start a known potion formulation...... The current progress is one percent...... In order to avoid further damage to Defensive Heart One, it is advisable to abandon the counterattack plan...... Proposal adopted...... Processing...... Done...... The counter-attack plan has been abandoned...... Over!"
Of course, Alfie and the others couldn't imagine that the reason why they were not in danger was that the Heart of Defense system automatically gave up counterattacking, otherwise it would have been Alfie who had the last laugh, not Zambit.
"Look, there's a big hole in that?" After getting past the barrier, they soon reached the bottom of the pool, and the sharp-eyed Zambit immediately spotted the passage to the spider cave not far away.
"This should be the way to get through. Alfie breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how many miscalculations there are in the front, as long as you can pass the test smoothly, those efforts will not be in vain.
"So what are you waiting for?" the anxious Zambit snatched the spoon from Alfie's hand and poured the last remaining bit of corrosive potion on the ice that covered the entrance of the passage.
As Zambit had predicted, nothing happened, and the passage to the third level appeared in front of them without reservation.
Seeing this, Alfie swallowed the words that he was about to reprimand Zambit for being reckless. There's no way that Zambit is definitely the one favored by Lady Luck today, and in the face of bad luck, it's useless to say anything.
Deep down, Alfie even hoped that Zambit's shit, shit, and luck would last a little longer, so that he would undoubtedly save a lot of worry and effort.
