Chapter 233 Giant lumen stone vein!
He knew that most of the apprentices who disappeared from the rankings died in the secret world at the hands of apprentices who knew nothing about killing other apprentices to increase their strange power.
This also means that even though Yihua and the hundreds of Illuminati apprentices under his command try their best not to kill other apprentices, they try to spread the news that dead apprentices will enhance the strange power of the secret world.
Still unable to stop more apprentices who didn't know the news from killing each other.
In other words, Yihua can at best slow down the increase in strange power in the secret world, but he cannot stop the general trend of increasing strange power.
"As long as my intervention plays a role in preventing the strange power from being enhanced to the level of a fourth-level apprentice at the end of the final exam, it is enough." If the strange power
in the secret world is only at the third-level level, relying on the third-level skills under his command Undead and third-class semi-dead witch bodies, Yihua is fully confident that he can save the Illuminati disciples from possible attacks by strange forces.
But even if Yihua and his Illuminati apprentices tried their best to stop it, after losing the life-saving card of giving up and leaving the secret world, there will be thousands of apprentices who died in the secret world.
The death of such a number of apprentices will have a terrible increase in the strange power in the secret world. Whether it will reach the fourth level is still unknown to Yihua.
Thinking of this, Yihua frowned and looked up at the sky.
His eyes looked through the darkness beyond the light zone high in the sky, as if trying to see the outside world.
"It's strange that until the last apprentice entered the secret world, none of the fifth-level tutors from the outside world entered the secret world to check the situation or even terminated the exam." Yihua's eyes flashed and he realized that this move was extremely
abnormal, so he guessed:
"Could it be that It is said that the fifth-level tutors from the outside world did not notice the abnormal situation that no apprentice left the secret world, or that the strange power in the secret world somehow concealed it from the fifth-level tutors from the outside world?" "Now it is lost
. With the ability to leave the secret world, the fifth-level tutors from the outside world are unable to learn about the changes in the secret world. It seems that they can only wait for the apprentice exam to be over. I hope that during this period, the strange power in the secret world will not cause any more changes. For the best."
Although all the apprentices who took the exam have entered the secret world, Yihua temporarily lost the means to learn about the outside world, but based on the information Yihua obtained from a defeated apprentice.
Even if the fifth-level tutors from outside do not take the initiative to open the passage to the secret world.
After three days, when the apprentice exam ends, the secret world will automatically open the passage to the outside world due to the mechanism that the fifth-level instructors have already set.
Time passed bit by bit, and scenes of apprentices fighting and killing each other took place in every corner of the secret world.
Due to the activation token, giving up and leaving the secret world is a proactive act.
In the fierce fighting between life and death, many apprentices were often alive and kicking one moment, and then turned into charred corpses under the enemy's witchcraft fire the next moment.
Even before, when the ability to leave the secret world through the token had not expired, most apprentices were unable to react in time and make a decisive decision to give up the exam qualifications at the moment of death.
Now that the token's ability to communicate with the outside world and leave the secret world is ineffective, once the apprentices in the secret world have a real fire, the party that is at a disadvantage will lose their only chance to survive.
Unless a very few apprentices can take advantage of the chaos and seize the opportunity to escape.
Most battles end with one side's apprentice group being wiped out.
But almost no one noticed that not long after the death of these apprentices, wisps of pitch-black power quietly seeped out of the corpses, seeming to penetrate deep into the ground in a certain direction.
And deep in the secret world, at least 10,000 meters deep, there is a huge underground space.
At a glance, the rock walls and every corner of this huge underground space are covered with lumen mines of astonishing scale.
Under the light of these moon-white lumen stones, the entire underground space looks like daylight.
In the center of the underground space, the seemingly empty ground is engraved with countless complex wizard runes.
If you stand in the distance, you can see that these runes have a clear direction, as if they are a giant wizard array covering a radius of several thousand meters.
Judging from the rune composition of this wizard array, it can be barely seen that this seems to be a sealed wizard array.
However, its inscription and construction methods are incompatible with today's wizards, but it has certain similarities with the wizard arrays in the ancient wizard ruins.
Within the scope of the giant wizard array, there is a layer of moon-white, eggshell-shaped film covering everything inside the wizard array.
In the center of the wizard formation, there was a pitch-black body filled with purple vein-like lines and a heart-shaped piece of flesh and blood. Along with the thunderous heartbeat, it exuded terrifying power fluctuations towards the surrounding underground space within a radius of several kilometers.
Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang!
But these waves of dark power eventually dissipated the moment they touched the wizard array surrounding the dark heart.
It seems that this wizard formation is as solid as a rock, and the power of the dark heart cannot leak out at all.
But if someone were here, they would notice.
The sealing barrier at the top of the dark heart broke into a gap at some point.
At this moment, there is a steady stream of jet-black power falling from the heights of this underground space.
Following the tiny gap where the seal was broken, it flowed down the river and merged into the dark heart at the core of the sealed wizard array.
As the jet-black power continues to pour in, the jet-black heart beats more powerfully, and the crack at the top has a faint tendency to expand as time goes by.
If Yi Hua were inside, he would be able to sense that this huge black heart exudes a terrifying pressure that is superior to that of fifth-level apprentices.
This coercion is even a hundred times more terrifying than the pressure that Melkor exudes from the bloodline of the Shadow Serpent, an extraordinary life that is comparable to a formal wizard! ——At
the same time, in a forest somewhere on the ground in the secret world, there is an area of light that is astonishingly large.
In this huge bright area covering several kilometers in radius, there is a huge lumen stone vein that shines silvery white and magnificent like moonlight.
Under normal circumstances, a fist-sized lumen stone contains one unit of lumen stone energy.
Judging from the astonishing scale of this mineral vein stretching for hundreds of meters, it contains at least tens of thousands of units, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of points of lumen stone energy!
This giant lumen stone vein is located in the center of this giant bright zone covering an area of several kilometers in radius.
If you want to create a giant light zone covering thousands of meters in radius, even if you put aside the giant lumen stone veins containing tens of thousands of units of lumen stone energy, you will need tens of thousands of points to create it.
Right now, the apprentice with the highest points only has 7,000 points.
This means that at this moment, there is a high probability that there are a large number of apprentices around this giant lumen stone vein.
This is indeed the case.
Now there are hundreds of apprentices around the giant lumen stone veins!
And these hundreds of apprentices are distributed among the five forces, confronting each other.
Due to the pressure from other parties, although everyone coveted the giant lumen stone vein in front of them and wanted to monopolize it, no one force dared to take the lead.
So the situation fell into a continuous stalemate.
Located on a mountain peak in the north is Rey, who is currently ranked second in the standings, fully armed and seemingly unscathed, and more than fifty Silver Star apprentices who follow him.
On Rey's waist, hung the reward for being the first place in the academy competition.
It was a grey-black, fourth-class demonized object in the shape of a voodoo doll, with messy sutures covering its eyes and mouth. It looked a bit strange—a cursed doll.
This fourth-level magical item can withstand three fatal injuries for Rey and teleport him to a safe area a thousand meters away.
But with the second-class Life Orb that Yihua sold to him yesterday, its defensive power was second only to the Holy Light Orb that he had used in the competition.
So far, the strongest enemy he has encountered is Rey, who is only among the top 20 in the standings. He has never used this fourth-level magical item once.
To the east of the giant lumen stone vein, on a hillside hundreds of meters away, an undead army consisting of thirty three-meter-tall and sturdy death guards arranged neatly like a military formation appeared.
At the center of these undead legions was the one who had briefly fought with Yihua before.
After revealing the Dark Magic Crystal Necklace that doubled the limit of control over the undead, he was instantly defeated by Yihua who suddenly burst out with astonishing strength. Enzo managed to escape through a life-saving magic item similar to Rey's.
Although Enzo did not have the opportunity to learn the soul retrieval technique given to Yihua by Simon.
But through the remaining consumable demonized items that could restore magic power, Enzo once again raised an undead army composed of thirty third-level undead death guards.
As for the third party force, they are the Illuminati apprentices who are located in the west of the mine and are forty or fifty people who hold the Life Orb and are led by Gabriel, who has not yet met Yihua.
The remaining two forces are located in the southeast and southwest directions hundreds of meters away from the mineral vein.
The former is a loose alliance composed of nearly a hundred first- and second-class scattered apprentices.
The latter is a temporary alliance formed by Rapp, who broke into the top ten in the academy competition, two other third-class apprentices, and more than twenty first- and second-class apprentice followers of each of the three.
Since the former does not have anyone strong enough to lead the whole group, although they are numerous in number, they will most likely be vulnerable to a real fight and will be easily scattered and routed by other forces.
There was a mix of good and bad among them, and except for some scattered people, most of them came from small organizations in the academy.
If Yi Hua were present, he would be able to spot at a glance several apprentices from the Gnosis Society, including Fa En and others who met Levi and Laman when they met.
If you look closely, you can even catch a glimpse of five apprentices wearing the scarlet vertical pupil badge of the Freemasonry.
As for the latter...
the apprentices under the three third-class apprentices are basically from the forces in the academy next to the Silver Star Society, Freemasonry and Illuminati.
Take the Burning Hand, for example, where Rapp was born. Compared with other small organizations or individual disciples, the average combat effectiveness of apprentices from these large forces is much stronger.
In other words, the larger apprentice forces in these colleges have more capital to select apprentices than other small organizations.
If the Illuminati apprentices did not have the help of the Life Orb, their side would even be able to barely rank among the top three among the five forces with the help of three third-class apprentices.
Compete with Rey, who is the strongest among the third-class apprentices, and Enzo, who is a third-class Necromancer apprentice.
Although the latter is stronger, because the three third-class apprentices only formed a temporary alliance due to the situation, all of them have evil intentions.
Therefore, once a fight actually breaks out, the three third-class apprentices and their subordinate apprentices may fall apart and fight on their own at any time due to different situations.
Among the five forces present, the only ones who can truly advance and retreat in unison and have high combat effectiveness are the first place in the academy competition, the president of the Silver Star Society, Rey, the third-class necromancer apprentice Enzo, and the temporary vice-president of the Illuminati. Gabriel's three parties.
The stalemate around this giant lumenite vein didn't last long.
Although apprentices such as Rey and Enzo knew that once they successfully occupied this giant lumen stone vein, they would be able to become the first place in this apprenticeship examination with the tens of thousands of points contained in it.
As long as he continues to collect points, he can firmly occupy the first place in this apprenticeship competition in the next two days.
Even if he cannot get the points from this giant lumen stone vein, in order to ensure that other apprentices do not get these tens of thousands of points, the other apprentices must try their best to prevent others from seizing this giant lumen stone vein.
After a short period of judgment, I realized that procrastinating would only increase the variables and increase the possibility of other apprentices discovering this giant lumen stone vein.
So Rey's eyes flashed, and as the only one present who was on par with Enzo, who was guarded by thirty third-level death guards, he decisively said: "Miss
Enzo, you and I are the two strongest forces present. , how about we join forces and eliminate the rest of the forces first?"
Since Rey did not hide his voice, the other three forces except Enzo also heard Rey's proposal.
Their faces tightened, and they turned to look at Enzo with anxious eyes.
The leaders of the other two parties except Gabriel immediately made plans to join forces with the other two parties to fight against Enzo once he agreed.
"Hmph, since you were the first to propose cooperation, shouldn't you show your sincerity?"
Enzo could see what Rey said at a glance. The cooperation was fake, but the test was real.
The other party's inquiry did not have the intention of sincere cooperation at all.
If they really cooperate, Rey can communicate with her in a more secretive way instead of openly making his thoughts public.
Therefore, whether you agree with Rey's proposal or not, you will only play into his hands.
Rey's purpose is to judge her general strength through Enzo's answer, whether she is confident in solving the other three parties.
