Chapter 293 Ever Dark City (Part 1)

Author: Half-wounded but not broken

Pei Renli hasn't figured out the specific principles of the Demon King's Arena yet, but he is very clear now.

The host must have a very strong lung capacity and a loud voice that makes people feel ears pricked.

As the white light transmitted by the representative dissipated, Pei Renli couldn't help but pick his ears first. He always felt that the host's high-pitched tail tone was still echoing in his ears.

Immediately afterwards, he found that the environment he was in was pitch black, and he literally couldn't see his hand.

He quickly drew a rune, and a warm bright light rose from the head of the Swift Light Staff, and the spreading halo of light dispersed the darkness.

"Confined space..."

Glancing around, Pei Renli was in a closed space of about ten square meters, somewhat similar to a scary castle, but this room had no furniture and no windows.

He saw a piece of paper taped to the wall on one side of the room with the rules written on it.

This map is called Ever Dark City. There are a total of 300 demon kings in this map. Of course, the difficulty level is still at the elementary level.

However, these three hundred demon kings are not all the newcomers from Pei Renli and his group. I heard from the host that because the old demon kings suffered serious casualties, one hundred new ones have joined the sequence of the demon king arena.

For this group of more pure newcomers, it is either fortunate or unfortunate that their first show will have to compete with the previous batch of newcomers, the Demon Kings.

Yes, the rules this time have a confrontational component.

The demon kings need to find something called a "light", and then take the light to a facility called a lighthouse and throw it in. This will count as passing the level.

It sounds simple in general, but the details are different.

First of all, there was no explanation of the location of the lights, not even a clue. Miles, the Elegant Demon, didn't know about this either. It was also the first time for him to see the map of Ever Dark City.

Secondly, just like the hunting ground of a fraudster, the location of the end point is not known. The so-called taking the light to the lighthouse is just a concept.

In addition, there are monsters in the map of Ever Dark City. They will attack all demon kings. Only when you have a light, the monsters will stay away.

But while holding the light, his existence cannot be hidden, and he can be discovered by other demon kings even from a long distance, and competition is inevitable.

In other words, in the process of finding the light, you will be attacked by monsters, and in the process of finding the light and taking it to the lighthouse, you have to be prepared for sneak attacks by other demon kings.

What's even worse is that the map of Ever Dark City inherits the characteristics of the Confused Snowfield last time, that is, the later you clear it, the more disadvantageous it will be.

Every time three lights are brought to the designated location, the lighthouse will be lit for three minutes. During this time, the monsters in the dark city will hide and ignore the actions of the demon kings.

But after three minutes pass, the number and strength of monsters will increase.

In other words, not only PVP but also PVE interference.

The reason why the difficulty is set as elementary is that, on the one hand, the participants are all newbies and the intensity of the confrontation stage will not be too high, and on the other hand, there are new rules for team formation this time.

Form a team through the Demon King system. A team can have up to four people. While their combat effectiveness is improved, they can also share a lamp.

If you don't form a team, one light can only allow one demon king to clear the level. If you form a team, one light can allow up to four demon kings to clear the level at the same time.

And although there is no setting that teammates will not be harmed, forming a team requires the consent of both parties, and the same goes for disbanding a team, so you don’t have to worry about working for a long time and the person holding the lamp disbanding the team at the last moment leaving the other three in a mess.

In any case, this time the Demon King Arena has very high requirements for combat power, and for the 100 newly joined Demon Kings, the danger is probably even higher. It seems that Pei Renli's first time in the Scary Castle was just luck.

alright.

Pei Renli is very confident. The previous few Demon King Arenas have proven the general level of the new demon kings in the same batch as him, and Pei Renli has also made great progress compared to the last time.

Not only did he have perfect magic items, he had also mastered spell penetration, and he also took the time to learn several new spells.

As long as there is no guy like Dürer, Pei Renli can handle most situations.

Except for the paper with rules written on it, there is nothing else in this room. The only material that makes up the room is cement, which makes Pei Renli a little concerned. But considering that Roman cement has existed for a long time, the magical world

It's not strange to have such a building.

He hung several commonly used defense and early warning spells such as mage armor and shield on his body. He originally planned to replenish the stone skin spell, but Siesta's blood was really low, so after thinking about it, he decided to save it for more updates.

When it's important.

Siesta's blood can activate the stone skin effect, but there are requirements for the amount applied on the back of the hand. If it is too little, it will not be effective. A bottle of blood is not much, considering that there is no stone skin in the school library.

Technique, this kind of useful and life-saving thing should be used sparingly.

Anyway, let's go out and check the situation first.

After getting ready, Pei Renli used his staff to push open the only thin door in the room. The illumination from the light spell shone outside, allowing Pei Renli to see clearly that there was a corridor outside the room.

Like the rooms, the corridors are a bit like rough-hewn rooms with no decoration at all. One side leads deeper, and the other side can see a little light, like an exit.

The narrow terrain is very unfavorable for Pei Renli. The use of powerful spells must be considered, and there is not much space to avoid danger, so if there is a choice, it is safer to go outdoors.

Pei Renli's course of action was the same as that of the deceiver's hunting ground. First, he needed to confirm where the end point was, and then find the location of the light.

In addition, given the confrontational nature of the Demon King Arena this time, even if Pei Renli had some confidence, he felt that teamwork would be more appropriate.

The first priority is of course Phil Fei, whose fairy magic can complement Pei Renli's, and the relationship between the two parties is good.

Followed by Du Le, he is very powerful and can cast spells better even with Pei Renli in the front row.

Thirdly, there are the girls who call themselves the Three Stars of the Demon King. Although their frontal combat effectiveness is not strong, they have powerful invisibility that can deceive the arcane eyes. If you can cooperate with them, they will also have quite an advantage in the map of Ever Dark City.

Those three girls may have been scared out of their wits by Pei Renli, and the possibility of cooperation is not high.

As for Kent the Lizard Man?

The grandson is not considered at all. Despite the cooperation last time, there is still no possibility of shaking hands and making peace. Pei Renli is even eager to meet him, so that he can justifiably blow up Kent.

Let me reiterate, Pei Renli is very vindictive.

He currently knows roughly so many demon kings. After all, he is different from others and has fewer opportunities to communicate with others.

It is not impossible to consider cooperating with a complete stranger, but it is just not as reassuring as someone you already know.

There is only so much that can be done at the moment. Of course, Pei Renli knows that the sooner he clears the level, the more advantageous it will be, but he still has to do it step by step, otherwise he may make serious mistakes if he is impetuous.

With these considerations in his mind, Pei Renli was about to leave the corridor.

The exit looked like a wide doorway, but it didn't even have a door. Pei Renli extinguished the light spell, because the dim light from the outside should be enough to see things, and the light spell might attract unnecessary attention.

But when he actually left the corridor and stood outside the door, his eyes immediately widened.

"Fuck!"

In his field of vision, rows of concrete buildings of different heights crowded in front of him. High-rise buildings and signal towers were flashing with red highlights. Not far away, he could see the familiar asphalt highway, even on the road.

The lines were very close to what I remembered, and I could even see a few cars parked in parking spaces on the side of the road.

The ever-dark city is a style of urban painting on Earth, and this style of painting should not exist in the world far away...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Pei Renli once wondered if he was dreaming.

Because the appearance of a modern city is completely in front of you, and even some details, such as traffic lights and store signs, are exactly the same as on Earth.

Perrenli didn't know whether there was a plane in the multiverse world with a technological level similar to Earth's, but at least within the scope of his knowledge, such a place did not exist.

What's more, even if there are places with similar technological levels, the degree of restoration is too scary. When Pei Renli looked left and right, he even found a store with a sign of 'Shaxian Snacks', and even the fonts printed on the computer were restored.

Already.

This is definitely no accident.

Pei Renli's first reaction was that his identity as a time traveler was exposed. The mastermind behind the Demon King's Arena threw him into the map of Chang'an City. It was obvious that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong.

But when I calm down and think about it carefully, it seems that this is not necessary.

Whether it is Balam, the god-killing demon king, or Black Butterfly, the supreme lord of Paradise, they all exaggerate when describing the real enemy.

In fact, this is also true. A guy who can treat tens of thousands of demon kings as leeks can easily deal with Pei Renli.

There is no need to scare him. It is not a big deal for Pei Renli to disappear without a trace.

In other words, Pei Renli came to the map of Chang'an City by chance and was not targeted at him.

But the painting style of Ever Dark City is so close to cities on Earth, so it’s definitely not an accident.

Is it because the real enemy knows about other time-travelers from the earth? Or...

That real enemy has also been to Earth?

Pei Renli composed himself, and he tried hard to remind himself that he needed to be calm. On the one hand, only a calm mind could make correct judgments, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that the people behind the scenes of the Demon King's Arena would see the flaws.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Renli looked around with curious eyes, like someone who had never seen this scene before, trying not to attract any attention.

There was only darkness in the sky above, with no moonlight or starlight, but it was bright enough to see things.

Holding his staff, he walked step by step to the car closest to him, and looked at it as if someone who had never seen a car was studying what it was.

He discovered that the car was actually just an empty shell, with no engine or anything inside. Looking inside through the window, although he could see things like a steering wheel and a steering wheel, the details were completely missing, including the fuel gauge.

There is nothing like that.

The streets were also deserted. Apart from Pei Renli himself, no other living creatures were visible. It was like being dropped into a ghost town.

But just when Pei Renli was checking how far the surrounding environment was from his own memory, he heard a soft 'pop' sound coming from behind, which sounded like something gelatin hitting the asphalt road...
