At the same time, the last 10 seconds countdown came to an abrupt end, and the barrier became unattackable.
In front of Jiang Bai's eyes, a selection box appeared with only two simple options.
"yes!"
"no!"
"What do you mean by stepping on a horse?"
Jiang Bai stared at the 10-second countdown next to the selection box. It was obvious that the system was giving him time to make a choice.
Until Jiang Bai saw the name of the little blue dragon Tilias gradually turning red, and then a red cross appeared on his head.
Obviously, the system wants Tilias to die!
"Isn't it too much!?"
For a moment, large beads of sweat broke out from Jiang Bai's forehead. He was unprepared and could not imagine that he would have to face such a choice.
The numbers on the selection box timer were beating rapidly, and every change severely stimulated Jiang Bai's nerves.
9…
8…
7…
"System, Tilias is my mount. If she dies here, can she still be resurrected as my mount?"
With some hope, Jiang Bai tried to ask.
"No, she will disappear forever in the "Creation" continent."
The system responded unexpectedly, but the result made Jiang Bai's heart sink to the bottom of his heart.
After listening to the system's reply, Jiang Bai fell into silence again.
6…
5…
4…
"Made!!!"
Jiang Bai, who was hesitating, felt that his head was about to explode.
Little Tilias obviously still didn't know what happened. Her clear eyes looked at Jiang Bai anxiously, full of doubts and worries. Under the sun, her sparkling eyes were very beautiful.
In Jiang Bai's mind, the scene when the two met for the first time suddenly flashed back. He was holding the conch that contained Tilias' thoughts blankly, looking at the dense girl coming out of the small hut, although it was just a surprise.
One glance is enough to make people remember it deeply.
And the melancholy in the girl's eyes that cannot be erased.
3…
2…
"MLGB's! I won't do it!!!"
With a curse, Jiang Bai directly chose No!
The system is also crisp and clear. The moment the choice is made, the barrier that became as dark as ink turns transparent again, and the status changes from unattackable to attackable. The stagnant timer starts counting down again, only this time there is another one on top of the barrier.
Without any buff, Jiang Bai can only rely on his own ability to deal this 140,000 damage!
The results are often cold and ruthless. Miracles do not happen to Jiang Bai every time, and the system will not be biased against Jiang Bai because of his integrity or deep love.
So even if he tried his best, he would only do over 100,000 damage in these 10 seconds.
This is reality.
“Still 4w away!!!”
When the timer completely ran out, the magic barrier with only 40,000 health left instantly returned to its full state, and everything returned to calm, as if it had never happened.
And the six-pointed star at Jiang Bai's feet also dimmed,
According to the system prompts, the six-pointed star will be activated again after 1 minute, which means that Jiang Bai can catch the power of the six-pointed star every time as long as he is within the range of 3 challenges.
"Why……"
Jiang Bai, who was sweating profusely, sighed dejectedly, and then sat down on the ground.
"Woooo..."
As if feeling Jiang Bai's emotions, little Tilias stretched her head over and rubbed Jiang Bai's cheek affectionately.
"You are such a little baby."
Touching Tilias' soft little head, Jiang Bai felt a little comforted.
While resting, Jiang Bai stared at the six-pointed star pattern and slowly fell into deep thought.
"Something's not right..."
For a long time, Jiang Bai frowned slightly.
"If this six-pointed star is really here to help players, then it shouldn't make such unreasonable demands as [Darkness], which goes against the original intention of helping players."
"Then can I understand that every transformation and every buff before the Hexagram is a kind of foreshadowing, all preparations for [Darkness]. In other words, the Hexagram is just an inducement, and the previous few
The buff is just a sweetener, and its true purpose is only exposed when the most critical moment comes."
"That is the blood of Tilias. At this critical moment, when success is one step away, most players will choose to abandon Tilias."
"It's just a mount."
"Damn it! That's wonderful!!"
After figuring out this truth, Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh, "This horse riding is just a step by step, and all the calculations are done."
"Then the question is, since there is a purpose, the person who arranged this hexagram must not be the system, but an NPC with ulterior motives. Who wants Tilias's blood?"
Of course, Jiang Bai couldn't figure out this answer even if he tried hard, and it was impossible to figure it out, because he only knew a few NPCs?
"The real plot of the game has not yet unfolded..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Bai vaguely felt that this fantasy mission was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and Jiang Bai became more and more interested.
"I just like this kind of challenge."
After a rest, Jiang Bai stood up again, patted his butt, and stared at the six-pointed star pattern on one side, his eyes gradually becoming serious.
"Last chance."
Jiang Bai didn't dare to start rashly, because it was foreseeable that the owner of this six-pointed star must have calculated the damage, and calculated the result that it would be impossible to break this barrier if he disagreed with [Darkness] no matter what.
Therefore, if Jiang Bai continues as usual, it is basically impossible to pass this barrier.
"But there is really no other way now..."
Anxious Jiang Bai paced around the six-pointed star.
"Made!"
“Isn’t the plot of the game a bit too much?”
Jiang Bai couldn't afford to delay, because the [fusion] time was only 30 seconds, which was 5 minutes, and now more than two minutes had passed.
In desperation, Jiang Bai looked at his packed parcels.
After searching for a long time.
Jiang Bai's eyes gradually brightened.
"Yes!!"
"This is the only way to try!"
"Dry!!!"
Having an idea, Jiang Bai once again stepped onto the six-pointed star formation. As the disappearing barrier appeared again, a tense battle began again.
The first five times, randomly, were still buffs similar to the last time, which Jiang Bai was not surprised about.
The sixth random time, that is, in the last 10 seconds, the [Darkness] buff arrived as promised, exactly as Jiang Bai guessed.
At this time, the barrier still has 160,000 HP, which is not even as good as the damage done in the first 50 seconds of the previous round.
Faced with a choice again, Jiang Bai didn't hesitate at all this time.
I saw him wave his hand, with flames burning in his eyes, and directly choose "no"!
"Get out of here!!!"
Amidst the roar, Jiang Bai took out his trump card.
