Chapter 650: Twenty-first Layer
At about six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Huang finally broke through the level of twenty levels and arrived at the twenty-first level.
Below the tenth floor, Lin Huang basically kept it within ten minutes to clear the customs. But from the tenth layer onwards, almost every layer of Lin Huang and Divine Power Ape took more than fifteen minutes, and some even exceeded twenty minutes. Especially in the twentieth level that had just passed, it took Lin Huang and the Divine Power Ape nearly half an hour to complete the breakthrough.
From the twenty-first floor, branches finally began to extend from the ladder tree.
Lin Huang looked up at the top of his head, and the branches pointed diagonally upwards into the distance, each of which extended to the end of Lin Huang's line of sight, like a giant pillar with no top in sight.
Originally, climbing on the trunk of a giant tree always felt like climbing on a huge wall, and I didn't have an intuitive feeling of the enormity of the ladder tree. After seeing the branches sticking out one by one, Lin Huang finally realized that what he was climbing was not a wall, but a huge ancient tree, and he finally had an exact feeling for the enormity of the ladder tree.
"Yao Lan said before that the Heavenly Ladder Tree is only safe where there are leaves above the twenty-first layer. The leaves at the end of each branch form a separate bubble space that provides shelter for trespassers. The recovery speed of the interloper's life energy in the bubble space will be increased to a certain extent, and the bubble space will not only not be attacked by the native monsters on the ladder tree, but also can isolate the attacks of other human powerhouses, and even the Imperial Palace realm cannot be damaged. ”
Lin Huang looked around, but he didn't see any leaves. But he knew that where there were branches, there would be human gatherings.
Below the 30th floor, only the 21st floor has tree branches sticking out, which is the first formal gathering point of human beings on the ladder tree, and it is also the largest gathering point.
After arriving at this level, Lin Huang had no intention of continuing to climb up for the time being.
It's not early, after dark, it's the time for the various parasitic monsters in the ladder tree to feed, and choosing to climb the ladder tree at night is called death. Besides, Lin Huang also wanted to see what the gathering place of humans on the Heavenly Ladder Tree looked like.
He instructed the Divine Ape to move in the direction of the branch closest to him.
The Divine Power Ape carried Lin Huang on his back, and quickly moved sideways to the location of the branch, and jumped onto the branch.
As soon as the Divine Power Ape appeared, it quickly attracted the attention of many people on the branches.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Divine Power Ape, many people showed panic, thinking that it was the native monster of the Heavenly Ladder Tree descending. Only a few people noticed that there was someone on the shoulder of the Divine Power Ape and knew that it was a summoned beast.
Lin Huang's figure jumped and landed on the branch, and he was about to take back the divine power ape, but he saw a young man in a white shirt walking towards him, and his combat power was one step long.
"Make a price and sell me your great ape. The white-lined young man was obviously a noble child, and his tone of voice carried an unstoppable sense of arrogance.
"Buy it?" Lin Huang suddenly smiled, turned his head back and looked at the power ape, "You have to see if it agrees." ”
The Divine Power Ape hurriedly shook his head, and a pair of angry eyes glared at the white-lined young man. It didn't want to leave Lin Huang, it was promoted three mutations in Lin Huang's hands, and the bloodline of the Divine Power Ape was also obtained from Lin Huang, and there may be four mutations in the future, so it was naturally reluctant to change hands. In fact, even without these benefits, the loyalty of card monsters will always be 100%, and it is impossible to turn their backs on their owners (except in a few special cases).
"See? It won't follow you. Lin Huang looked back at the white-lined youth with a smile.
"10 million life crystals. The white-lined youth still didn't give up, and directly quoted the price.
10 million life crystals is indeed a relatively high price. Although the three-mutated Immortal Realm Summoned Beast is a rare item, the market price below the three-step Immortal Realm is generally around 5 million, and even if it has the bloodline of an ancient beast, it can generally be premium to 8 million. Even if it is auctioned at the auction venue, it is unlikely to exceed 9 million. The young man directly quoted 10 million, obviously knowing the market price.
A group of spectators next to him were amazed when they heard this offer. Many people know the young man who is white lining, know his background, and know that his offer has enough confidence.
"King Li, go back and have a good rest. Lin Huang ignored the white-lined young man, and directly turned his head and said to the divine power ape. "Tomorrow we will continue to climb trees. ”
The voice fell, and the Divine Ape was retracted to a card state.
"12 million!" The white-lined youth still didn't give up.
"Not for sale. Lin Huang glanced at him, didn't bother to say anything more to him, and walked away directly.
A group of people watching the excitement around were talking.
"This fool, 12 million is not even sold. That three-mutant giant ape was put on the auction floor, and it would be good if it could fetch a maximum of nine million. ”
"This person is a royal envoy, maybe he really has feelings for the pet beast he raised. ”
"What if you have feelings, can you compare it to money? That's 12 million life crystals! It's enough to get a good primordial treasure. ”
"15 million!" The white-lined young man blocked Lin Huang's way with a flash, staring at Lin Huang with a dead gaze, "You have to be clear, 15 million is enough to buy a three-step mutated ancient blood monster in the nine-step long habitat." Your giant ape has only two steps in combat power. If you miss this opportunity, it will be impossible for you to sell it at the price I offer today. ”
"I said, don't sell it!" Lin Huang's eyes met with the white-lined young man without giving way, and the other party had been unrelenting, making him lose the patience to communicate with him, "Is this sentence difficult to understand?"
"Dare to talk to me like this, are you looking for death in a mere Lan Yan Realm?" The white-lined young man was also a little angry, on the one hand, because he was repeatedly rejected by Lin Huang, and on the other hand, because Lin Huang's tone made him unhappy.
"Then you can try it and see who is going to die. Lin Huang pulled the corners of his lips slightly, if the other party made a move, he didn't mind sending the other party to the starting point of the ladder tree at all. Kill the opponent, but you can directly plunder half of the opponent's points.
A group of people watching the excitement next to them were hotly discussed again, some took out chairs directly from the storage space and sat down, and some even took out snacks and ate them......
"I'm going to fight, I'm going to start a gambling game, have you come to play? Newcomer little ghost, buy one to lose five, Sun Yu to buy one to lose one and lose two!"
"The rookie ghost only pays five for one, Zhao San, your odds are too low, you should lose ten. ”
"One to ten, then you can start this gamble!" The black-faced man known as Zhao San glared at the man who spoke just now.
"Forget it, I'll win this new kid! 10 points. The man who shouted that he should pay ten for one shouted.
"10 points, you're too embarrassed to bet!" Zhao San gave him another roll of the eyes.
"Hehe, it's not a big loss if you lose anyway, and if you win, it's 50 points. ”
"I'll press Sun Yu with 100 points!"
"I'll press Sun Yu with 200 points!"
"I'll press Sun Yu with 300 points!"
......
Most of them were won by Sun Yu, and only a few people won by buying Lin Huang, and they were all bought with 10 points and 20 points, and only one of them had 30 points.
Zhao San, who opened the gambling game, looked a little ugly, ", isn't it a safe loss to make me a dealer like this?"
"Hey, can I participate in this gambling game?" Lin Huang saw that the gambling game was being opened lively, and suddenly turned his head to Zhao San and asked.
Zhao San was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, but you can only buy it yourself to win." ”
"Then I'll use all my points to press myself to win. Lin Huang was full of confidence in himself.
"No, you can only press half of it. Because if you are killed, half of your points will be directly plundered by Sun Yu, and at most only half will be left. Zhao San explained, "You don't need to transfer the points to me in advance, just hang the account, anyway, everyone is watching, you and I can't rely on it." ”
"Okay, so be it. Lin Huang nodded.
"What is your total points?" Zhao San was going to record it for Lin Huang, as a newcomer, the other party couldn't have too many points.
"5728 points. Lin Huang reported his points number.
Hearing this number, not only Zhao San was stunned, but the other spectators were also stunned, and even Sun Yu raised his eyebrows.
"How can it be so much, are you wrong?" Zhao San's figure appeared in front of Lin Huang, and looked at the personal information page projected by Lin Huang, except for the name Lin Xie and the force he belonged to as the Wild Alliance, there was only one point number visible, and this number was indeed 5728 that Lin Huang had just reported.
"How can you have so many points as a newcomer?" Zhao San asked with a puzzled face.
"In the process of coming up, I killed some monsters. Lin Huang explained.
Levels 1 to 10, and each level you pass is worth 1 point. From the 11th floor to the 20th floor, each level you pass will earn 10 base points. Kill monsters, the first of the Holy Fire Realm is 1 point, the one-step longevity realm is 10 points, the two-step longevity realm is 20 points, and the three-step longevity realm is 40 points.
The reason why Lin Huang got so many points was because he had killed a lot of monsters along the way, the weakest was the Holy Fire Realm, and the strongest had a three-step long habitat. Not only his kills, but also the number of kills of the Divine Ape as his summoned beast also counts as his kills.
But Zhao San and the others didn't think that these points were obtained by Lin Huang by killing them himself, and they didn't even think that these points were killed with the help of Lin Huang's summoned beasts, because below the twentieth floor, it was necessary to obtain more than 5,000 points by hunting monsters, and it was necessary to kill a large number of points. Many people felt that Lin Huang's points should have been transferred to him by other members of the same demonic force as him in order to facilitate his purchase of items in this virtual world.
Even Sun Yu thought so, because he didn't think that just a two-step Giant Ape could complete the acquisition of more than 5,000 points.
"Half of my points are 2864 points, so I'll just press that much, help me remember. Seeing that Zhao San was sure that his points were correct, Lin Huang reported the points he wanted to press.
"In that case, I'll play with you too. Sun Yu also smiled and spoke, "I now have more than 12,000 points, I will press 6,000, bet on myself to win!"
"Okay! I've written down all the points you both pressed. When the battle is over, the one who loses will transfer the pressed principal to me!" Zhao San also took the bet between the two of them.
Soon, all the gamblers bought and left.
Lin Huang and Sun Yu stood at a distance of about 30 meters from each other, and Zhao San, the dealer who opened the gambling game, also served as the referee of the battle.
"Three, two, one. The battle begins!"
