Chapter 143: The Altar of Immortal (Three)
The day after they arrived at the altar, Liu Zhe and Feng Lei had a day of rest and their energy returned to their best state. During their rest, the Nightmare Knight passed by them twice. Seeing this scene, Liu Zhe and Feng Lei were completely convinced that the altar was indeed the target that the Nightmare Knight was guarding. Not only the Nightmare Knight, but also the Skeleton King, were the same.
According to the experience of meeting the Nightmare Knight twice, Liu Zhe and Feng Lei's judgment, the Nightmare Knight will return to the altar every two hours. Therefore, if you want to act, it is naturally best to choose when the Nightmare Knight is away. Otherwise, a skeleton king who has been stationed for a long time will be difficult to deal with. If a Nightmare Knight is added, Liu Zhe simply surrenders with both hands.
After calculating the time, Liu Zhe said to Feng Lei: "The Nightmare Knight has been away for about twenty minutes. We will set off now. We must first try to use the hidden cloak to hide it from the Skeleton King and get close to the high platform."
When Feng Lei heard this, she nodded, and at the same time she glared at Liu Zhe with beautiful eyes, warning: "You'd better not do anything unusual later, otherwise if we are discovered, we'll die together."
"I try not to touch you." Liu Zhe said in a cold sweat, and at the same time, the helplessness in his heart was that the space for hiding the cloak was too small, and he didn't want to touch it.
Although I was complaining about justice in my heart, after this period of time with Feng Lei, Liu Zhe knew that it would be useless to explain it...
"Stop being idle, let's go." Feng Lei said, and the next moment he took steps and slowly moved towards the direction of the platform.
Liu Zhe and Feng Lei were very careful in their actions. They walked for ten minutes from the hiding cave to the edge of the platform space just a short distance of only 100 meters.
Ten minutes later, Liu Zhe and Feng Lei were standing at the junction of the passage and space. In an instant, both of them couldn't help but feel nervous. They didn't know whether there would be any warning magic within this space. As long as they stepped in, they would be noticed immediately. It was because of worrying about this that Liu Zhe would stop Feng Lei from stepping in yesterday. Otherwise, if he touched some magic, it would not be a joke.
Stopped at the junction, Feng Lei asked in a very low voice: "Are you ready? I'm going in."
"Let's go." Liu Zhe felt a little nervous and said in a low voice.
"Well." Feng Lei nodded, and after that, she did not waste any time and stepped directly into the range of the high platform space. The high platform space mentioned here refers to this huge space with a length of more than 100 meters.
The moment Feng Lei stepped in, Liu Zhe felt that his heartbeat seemed to be beating slowly, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead. At the same time, Liu Zhe watched nervously at the situation around him.
One second...two seconds...five seconds...ten seconds passed. At this moment, Liu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. There was no movement for ten seconds. It seemed that they were not discovered.
As soon as she entered the high platform space, Feng Lei stopped talking, but instead conveyed a message of "continue to move forward" with her eyes. Then she took another step and walked carefully towards the central platform.
The distance between the passage and the central high platform is estimated to be one hundred meters. However, at this time, Liu Zhe and Feng Lei were walking on thin ice and did not dare to be careless at every step. If they accidentally step on the gravel on the floor, as long as any sound is made, it may attract the attention of the Skeleton King.
"..." While paying attention to his feet, Liu Zhe tried his best to control his nervous mood and slightly disordered breathing.
Feng Lei in front of Liu Zhe may not be able to see her expression, but she was also very nervous. Compared to Liu Zhe, Feng Lei had another thought. It doesn’t matter if she died, but if she died, who else could save her sister?
No...no one! Feng Lei felt awe-inspiring in her heart. She was the only one who could save Si'er. She could only succeed and not fail!
Ten minutes passed, but at this time, Feng Lei and Liu Zhe had not even finished a quarter of the journey. There were many factors that they had to worry about. While they had to lighten their footsteps, they had to worry about whether there was any gravel at the landing point under their feet. If under normal circumstances, even if they paid attention to these two points at the same time, ten minutes would be enough for them to walk a hundred meters.
However, the situation is even more steep now. Don’t forget that they are hiding in the cloak together. At this time, the space for the cloak has almost reached fullness. It would be fine if they do not move, but in the moving state, as long as one person’s pace is faster or slower, it may lead to the exposure of another person’s body.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them are one. When walking on the side, they also need to pay attention to their movements. At such a slow movement speed, they are not worried about being exposed, but about whether their movements will affect the other party. Especially Liu Zhe, Liu Zhe is now even more terrified, fearing that he accidentally touches Feng Lei's body, which will lead to the woman's instant explosion.
Liu Zhe and Feng Lei did not stop for a moment, ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...
After walking for forty minutes, Liu Zhe and Feng Lei breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, they had arrived at the edge of the blood pool surrounding the platform. The distance between them and the platform was less than ten meters!
"..." Liu Zhe gently wiped off the sweat beads beside his cheeks, but walked forty minutes in a short distance of 100 meters. He only walked for two and a half meters in one minute. He didn't consume much physical strength, but his mind felt a little tired.
On the other hand, Feng Lei raised her gaze at this time. There was nothing else in her pair of beautiful ruby-like eyes. There was only a black bead on the top of the platform in her gaze. It was the treasure she had been looking for over the past year, the Heart of Darkness!
For the sake of the Heart of Darkness, Feng Lei, a girl, left her hometown and came to the Lieyang Empire alone from the Golden Dragon Empire. More than a year has passed, and today she finally saw the Heart of Darkness with her own eyes.
Seeing Feng Lei's emotional fluctuations, Liu Zhe was like a mosquito and whispered in Feng Lei's ear: "Calm down."
"..." Feng Lei nodded and soon recovered her normal mind. The more she was at this critical moment, the more she had to be cautious. It was a little earlier to be happy now. The heart of darkness has not yet reached her hands.
At this time, Liu Zhe looked at the dark heart at the top of the platform, and he couldn't help feeling distressed. The platform was ten meters high and there was no place to climb around. It was obviously impossible to move to the next to the dark heart.
Not only Liu Zhe, but Feng Lei was also in trouble at this time. If she wanted to reach the top of the platform, she could undoubtedly fly by herself. However, the space for hiding the cloak was too small and it was not enough to accommodate two people flying at the same time. If she was alone, it would be possible...
When Feng Lei thought of this, she turned her head and looked at Liu Zhe. At this moment, Liu Zhe happened to look at her. When she saw Liu Zhe's eyes at this time, Feng Lei immediately noticed that Liu Zhe and she had thought about going together.
Seeing the madness in Liu Zhe's eyes, Feng Lei quickly whispered: "Don't tell me that you want to be a bait, you will definitely die."
When Liu Zhe heard that Feng Lei had expressed his thoughts, he was stunned for a moment and was silent for a while before saying, "...This is the only way. It is useless to make you use bait. I can't fly and I can't get close to the platform at all. But you are different. If I can attract the attention of the Skeleton King, you can take the opportunity to fly to the top of the platform and quickly take away the heart of darkness."
"Your head was caught in the door? Do you understand what I said? I said you will die, but you will really die." Feng Lei said with a stern tone.
Liu Zhe said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense. Even if you die, I am not you who die. I am not worried about what you are worried about. Do you still want to save your sister?"
"You..." Feng Lei was speechless. She was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke: "Why did you sacrifice so much for me? There is only one life, and there is no special friendship between us. Do you need to even want your life for me?"
After hearing this, Liu Zhe thought for a while and said, "I think there should be no reason for my friend to pay. Also, don't curse me to death all the time. I don't plan to die, okay? What I mean is going out to attract the attention of the Skeleton Monarch, not saying that I want to commit suicide. No matter how bad the situation is, it will be no problem to fight for you for about ten seconds."
After hearing what Liu Zhe said, Feng Lei couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. He said to be a friend? Did he regard himself as a friend?
For a moment, Feng Lei felt a little mixed in her heart. Liu Zhe regarded herself as a friend. So did she regard him as a friend? Feng Lei really didn't know about this, because in her life, there were no people close to her except her sister. Since she was born, she has not made half a friend. Without the previous example, how should she compare?
Liu Zhe did not pay attention to Feng Lei's pause and continued, "Can you cast space magic now? If possible, as soon as you get the Heart of Darkness, you will immediately cast space magic and take me to escape. If not, don't worry about me and leave here with the Heart of Darkness."
Thinking of his sister, Feng Lei did not think about the details anymore. With his thoughts turned, he said seriously: "It takes three seconds to cast space magic. If you are really confident and strive for ten seconds, it doesn't take only seven seconds, and this plan is feasible."
Feng Lei looked at Liu Zhe seriously. The plan proposed by Liu Zhe was actually the best way they can implement now. After taking the treasure, they immediately teleported it away!
However, the key to this plan is based on one premise, that is, Liu Zhe must hold on for a long time. Although seven seconds seem to be short, if the Skeleton King becomes serious, with the huge gap between them, it will not take three seconds to kill Liu Zhe with the huge difference in strength.
Liu Zhe said confidently: "Seven seconds... don't worry about leaving it to me. Okay, let's not waste time. If you drag it down, the Nightmare Knight will be back. If you run into the Nightmare Knight, these seven seconds will probably be hanging."
As he said that, Liu Zhe took a deep breath and looked at Feng Lei deeply.
Feng Lei looked back at Liu Zhe and whispered, "You haven't fulfilled your duel with me yet, don't die."
"I know, I don't want to die yet." Liu Zhe chuckled, then his face sternly, and said, "I count to three, and when I get three, I will rush out, and you will immediately go to the heart of darkness."
"..." Feng Lei nodded solemnly.
After seeing Feng Lei nodding, Liu Zhe suppressed his beating heart and said calmly: "Okay... Then we'll start, one... two..."
