Chapter 74 The Gauntlet Is Released
When we got home, people asked us what we were doing. Jackson and I just laughed and said we went to the cafe to drink a cup of coffee.
Although the others were not satisfied with this answer, judging from our expressions, they probably couldn't ask any more questions, so they had to give up.
The lights in the Phoenix three girls' room were turned off, so they must have fallen asleep.
Originally, Phoenix and Barbara were very good at staying up late. God knows where Cagalli heard about the theory of beauty sleep. Since then, the three girls have started a life rhythm of going to bed early and getting up early.
I looked at the magic clock and saw that it was already a quarter past ten, and it was indeed time to go to bed.
Lying on the bed, Jackson tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
"Do you miss her or are you overwhelmed with desire?"
I said with my eyes closed.
"None of them." Jackson turned over again, sighed unhappily, and said, "I don't know why, but I just can't sleep."
Forehead. .
Suddenly I remembered that more than an hour ago, we both drank coffee, which was still very strong. Now we are just in the process of the effects of the drug, and the whole body is excited, let alone sleeping, just resting. Sitting still is very torturous.
Listening to the sound of turning over in my ears, I closed my eyes and ignored him, silently saying in my mind: "You can continue to toss, I'm going to sleep anyway."
After posing, and just as he was about to fall asleep, his mind suddenly woke up, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly.
It's over, it seems that the ****** in my body has begun to take effect. .
So, I had no choice but to start spending sleepless time doing all kinds of tossing, turning around, and changing positions.
Early the next morning, Jackson and I walked out of the room listlessly with dark circles under our eyes, shocking everyone.
The three girls, Phoenix, Barbara and Cagalli, reacted particularly violently. They gathered me in the middle one by one and asked questions with concern. I waved my hands repeatedly to indicate that it was okay.
Billy looked sarcastic and said: "Hey, Xiaoyi, you wouldn't have been doing that all night, would you?"
As he spoke, he made masturbation movements.
"You think I am you!"
I said angrily, and then I rolled my eyes and had another bad idea. I smiled mischievously and said, "Hey, Billy, is your anus still intact?"
Billy had already been teased once by me using the word anus, and this time he was also furious. He was about to start a fight, but Cagalli glared back fiercely, and his head drooped again.
I looked at Cagalli, who was clinging to my right arm, and smiled. I didn’t expect that President Cagalli’s reputation for being tough was indeed well-deserved.
After dinner, we continued to the dungeon.
On the way, I bought a compass and explained the situation on the twelfth floor to Phoenix and others, asking them to prepare in advance.
Cagalli listened to my words and generously spent money to prepare an exquisite compass for everyone.
I looked helpless and said, "Hey. Don't be in such a hurry to buy it. You won't need it until you get the twelfth floor."
“Be prepared.”
Fighting monsters went relatively smoothly this time. Along the way, I didn't encounter a ghost-faced spider on the eleventh floor, nor did I get lost on the twelfth floor.
After several frictions and fights, I gradually mastered the information about the stone shell monster.
Generally speaking, there are two types of stone shell monsters. One is that the shell is very thin and fragile. After being broken, it can be restored in a short time, provided that the irregular spherical object in its body is not broken.
This kind of stone shell monster is different from anything seen before. They can release earth-attribute magic, but there seems to be only one type of magic, which is restraint.
For this kind of magic, as long as you move quickly, you won't be hit.
The shell of the other kind of stone-shell monster is relatively hard and can even withstand the blows of my Zanmatada sword, and there are many of them, usually ranging from a few to a dozen.
Although they have advantages such as hard shells, fast movement speed, and large numbers, they also have an obvious fatal weakness, that is, they must be attached to the stone shell monsters who know how to release magic. Once they are out of a certain range, they will disintegrate on their own.
With the compass pointing, I walked through half of the twelve floors, and also found a small number of bones of adventurers who had been killed, as well as their broken and damaged weapons and equipment.
After rummaging through the broken and discarded breastplate, except for a few fragments of bones covered underneath, nothing valuable could be found.
He took a drink of water from the water bag, kicked off the sword hilt with only the end remaining, stared at the compass, and continued walking deeper into the twelfth floor.
When walking on the 12th floor of this Gobi desert, the most important thing to pay attention to are the towering stones. You may not be sure which one is the real body of the stone shell monster.
Of course, you should pay more attention to those isolated high and steep cliffs and river beds. No one can be sure when or where a stone shell monster will pop up waving a weapon and attack you.
He killed more than a dozen magical stone shell monsters in a boring way, picked up the coins they dropped, put them in his pocket, and then continued walking around aimlessly.
After walking for more than an hour, I had already drank more than half of the water in the water bag, and it was time to go back.
I wandered towards the portal on the eleventh floor again.
This continued for several days, and finally I browsed through the entire twelfth floor.
The edge of the twelfth floor, like the edges of the floors above, is a bottomless cliff.
Once it falls, it is estimated that it will either fall to death or fall to other levels like me before.
Ji Lingling shivered, and I quickly retreated from the edge.
Except for the cliffs, the twelfth floor is full of yellow sand and steep cliffs. Except for the stone shell monster, there is no stone statue that is not a monster.
There is no river, no food. The only thing you can eat here is a nasty and deadly beetle. Don’t ask me how I know that.
Time flew by, and the semi-finals of the Zephyr Championship were halfway through.
On this day, I was walking slowly and leisurely towards my home alone. When I passed by the weapons shop, the old goblin Patch quickly poked his head out of the shop door and stopped me.
"What's up?"
I asked.
"The gauntlets are ready." Patch's expression was a little disappointed, but he seemed relieved and said to me, "Come in and take a look."
I nodded and entered Patch's weapons shop.
He took out a cloth bag from under the counter and opened it layer by layer. Inside, there were two gauntlets lying quietly.
The gauntlet is dark gray and densely covered with tiny particles. Although the tiny particles are scattered all over it, they seem to be arranged in a regular order, like a dark transparent belt.
The handguard is much narrower than before, and it also has more obvious texture and curves. Compared with the previous wide and bulky appearance, it looks more sophisticated and capable.
"Try it."
Patch smiled at me.
I heard that you guys are about to take the exam, come on! Rabbit has been watching anime these days, a new episode, hehe, I’m lazy~ I’ll be back in shape soon
