Chapter 291: Kingdom Transmission Room

Chapter 1345: Kingdom Transmission Room

Many fantastic scenes flashed before the eyes of Judai and others who sank into the water.

A giant stood up from the river, was surrounded and killed, and fell to the ground; a strong man faced many people's weapons and took the attack with his invulnerable body, but was easily killed when a blind man threw a mistletoe; the illusionist who was weaving a net was exposed and intended to turn into a fish to escape, but was caught by the net he wove

There were so many scenes that they could only see a few moments clearly and could not remember what they saw specifically, but soon those scenes disappeared from their eyes. A few people just realized that they were falling and wanted to scream, but the next moment they were standing on a solid ground, as if they had been here from the beginning.

In the center of the huge and magnificent palace, a hollow "tree" grows here, surrounded by a circle of pools. The roots of the "tree" not only extend into the pool to build a not-so-wide platform, but also extend all the way outside the pool to form a bridge composed of roots, which is facing the direction where Judai and his friends are.

"Woooaaaaa! We are going down - eh? Not sinking?" Maruto Sho lifted his legs off the ground and hugged Maeda Hayato, looking like a little koala carried by a koala.

However, Maeda Hayato was not much better. When he sank into the water just now, he hugged Judai's arm tightly at the first time. At this moment, he still held Judai's hand tightly, so that he could feel a little safe. As for Judai's other arm? It was occupied by Daitokuji. He was a teacher but hid beside his students in such an embarrassing way.

On the contrary, Judai, although he was also frightened at the beginning, he felt relieved after coming to this palace. Although this palace looks dark and mysterious because there is no light source at the moment, it is better than the simple cave, right?

Yes, Judai's amazing wisdom reminded him of the experience not long ago. He and his friends were dragged into the other world under the hot spring after taking a good bath in the hot spring. They were also forced to play cards with a guy who called himself [Seahorse Man]. Not only did he lose, but he also lost miserably. Judai has always remembered this incident and always thought about going back to play cards with [Seahorse Man] to win back.

And now, the same thing happened, sinking from the water to the water, and then suddenly entering a closed environment. The whole person did not seem to be soaked in water and was in a dry state. How could Judai's amazing wisdom not connect what he was experiencing at the moment with the spirit world under the hot spring?

This time it must be [Seahorse Man] who did it!

Although the process was completely wrong, the answer was correct to some extent. The temple that Judai and his friends entered was indeed related to the true identity of Kaibaman, Seto Kaiba.

Although the overall framework of the virtual world "Duel-Links" was handed over to AI to automatically generate and fill in the content this time, Kaiba still arranged an overall storyline to guide the players entering this world. He personally came forward and directly pointed out that their destination was the World Tree. As long as they hurried forward normally, it would not take long for someone to easily discover this strange open space on the road and the runes hidden around it.

Even if no one discovered it, when someone was smart enough (Manjomu: A-choo!) to use a card monster as a mount and ran to the area around the World Tree that was deliberately blocked by Kaiba's design, they would know the existence of the teleportation array and had to return the same way, or they would be willing to be killed once and teleported back to the resurrection point quickly.

As for the players who were killed instantly and returned to the resurrection point because they entered the blockade area without knowing the existence of the teleportation array, Kaiba also arranged a special surprise for them, that is, two hostile NPCs who have the method to open the teleportation array, namely [Iron World War - Dwarf United King] and [Light World War] who appeared on Misawa's side.

Among them, the attitude of [Iron World War - Dwarf United King] is completely hostile, and it can only be conquered by fighting to obtain the props to open the teleportation array, while [Light World War] is a communication target. Whether it is defeating the former in battle or satisfying the latter by accepting and completing a series of side quests, players will soon be able to obtain the ability to open the portal.

In this way, under the guidance of all aspects, players will soon be able to know the existence of the teleportation array, obtain the ability to open the teleportation array, and find the location of the teleportation array, so as to embark on a real journey towards the world tree.

——However, compared with what he expected, the actual situation cannot be said to be a deviation, but it can only be said to be a world of difference. Manjome and his team had just learned about the teleportation array, and Misawa had already defeated [Iron Realm War - Dwarf United King] by force, and obtained the props to open the teleportation array from the treasure chest it dropped.

Judai, who had no information and no props, found the teleportation array by luck, and then accidentally opened the teleportation array with the analysis of Daitokuji, a rare guy who knew some runes, and then came to this teleportation temple.

Manjome and his team, who "took a shortcut", took the longest detour, and their progress was not as good as Misawa who just stayed where they were, while Judai, who "took a long detour", seemed to have taken a shortcut and walked ahead of almost everyone.

"Hey, Judai, don't walk around, nya!" Seeing that the thick-headed Judai was not worried about the dangers around him, and literally walked ahead of a few people to explore the temple, Daitokuji said anxiously. Said, "There may be some danger here, meow!"

"For example, a few skeleton soldiers suddenly jump out from around the corner and slash you wildly, or the floor under your feet suddenly disappears and makes you fall down, or another example is a corridor with walls on both sides suddenly blocking the escape route, and another one Huge boulders rolling towards you or something like that!”

"Although I also feel that this place may be a little unsafe, but Teacher Daitokuji, have you played too much of the recently released game called "Shadow of the Silver Tree"?" Maeda complained, "How long have you been resurrected? ah?"

"About a month or so? I was actually resurrected just when you started the academy exchange competition, nya, but after all, it takes a while to adapt to the new body. It takes a certain amount of time for people to undergo several surgeries. Recovery period and rehabilitation training, not to mention I have a new body.”

While saying this, Daitokuji and Maeda watched Judai walk for a while without any danger, and followed him. This made Sho Marufuji, who was still a little hesitant, immediately follow everyone because of fear of the dim environment around him. action.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about danger or anything, right? Although it is quite realistic, this is a game world after all. It is impossible to lose in this game, and we will be killed in reality, right?" Judai was generous and still had the energy to say to Daitokuji and the others with a smile, "And since we can enter here, it means that this must be part of the design. There is nothing to worry about."

"Well, even though you said that, brother," Sho Marufuji felt a little safer walking among a few people, but he was still a little timid and afraid of whether something would come out of the darkness, "It would be great if there were more bright spots here." ”

Just as he was talking, Judai, who was walking at the front, had already reached the root system of the "tree" extending to the shore. Standing in front of the "bridge of roots", he greeted the three people behind him and said, "What are you talking about here?" It’s quite bright, and there seems to be something inside the tree.”

As he spoke, he tested the load-bearing capacity of the "Tree Root Bridge" with his feet, stepped on it to confirm that it was very stable, and immediately walked towards the gap in the center of the "tree" without waiting for the others behind him. .

It's not that Judai forgot about his friends as soon as he started exploring, but he actually knew that although it seemed safe here, there was still the possibility of danger appearing from some inexplicable place. Instead of dragging others along and letting them Instead of taking risks with yourself, it's better to take action yourself and help them scout out potentially dangerous places.

The fact is that even when Judai reached the center of the tree and saw a pool of water with many miniature architectural models placed there, he still did not encounter any danger.

"It's so exquisitely done, the things on it." Judai looked at the models curiously, but did not touch them, but counted them, "Two, four, six, eight, nine, there are exactly nine. A small architectural model, plus a soldier model, is this some kind of board game equipment?”

"That sounds impossible. Don't move around yet, Judai. Let us come here first." Daitokuji complained. Seeing that Judai was very interested in the things in the pool, he quickly reminded him to save him. Accidentally touching something activates the mechanism.

Standing in front of the "Bridge of Tree Roots", Daitokuji decided to let Hayato Maeda, the heaviest, walk at the front, and planned to wait until Maeda reached the opposite side before he and Sho Marufuji walked. There are a lot of scenes like this in movies, where the bridge suddenly starts to break halfway through. They don't want to play the game of "being gentle to avoid accelerated damage to the bridge". Anyway, they don't need that little time to let Maeda It doesn't matter if we finish first.

The "Bridge of Tree Roots" is far stronger than many people imagined. Although it looks like a bridge made of several branches stuck together side by side on the shore, even if Maeda walks on it, it does not bring any damage to the bridge. There was a slight sway. It was not until Maeda successfully reached the other side and walked to Daitokuji Temple on the bridge that he leaned down and touched the "roots" on the shore, only to find that it was not so much a plant, but something with the texture of a tree. The stone is hard, cool and very smooth.

However, while stroking the tree roots at Daitokuji Temple, Sho Marufuji suddenly noticed that a few of the tree roots forming the bridge behind him seemed to be trembling and about to be withdrawn? He quickly reminded Dadeji: "Don't touch Master Dadeji yet, that thing seems to have become shorter!"

"Huh!?" Dadeji also noticed something unusual. He turned his head and saw that the tree roots were actually shrinking and moving away from the shore. If the two of them were still on the shore, it would be too late to step onto the bridge. And even now, if they don't move faster, they seem to be about to fall off the bridge!

Dade Temple has looked at the pool on the side. The water there is quite clear and it seems that you can see to the bottom at a glance. However, due to the dim environment, it is difficult for light to penetrate too far underwater, so Dade Temple can only see The upper part is clear, but even this part is almost ten meters deep. Considering the height of the bridge, if you fall, will you never be able to climb up again? Because, Daitokuji can’t swim!

Even without Daitokuji's reminder, Maruto Sho and Daitokuji had already accelerated their running, wishing they could grow two more legs to run faster, but the speed of the root system's contraction was beyond their imagination. They were about to reach the center of the pool, but the roots had already retracted to their feet.

At the last moment, the two could only use their greatest strength to push against the ground and try to jump forward. Judai and Maeda on the opposite side had been waiting for a long time, and they also lived up to their trust and pulled Daitokuji and Maruto Sho's outstretched hands, grabbed them and pulled them up, so that they would not fall into the pool below.

"Huh, huh! I'm saved, meow~" Daitokuji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Thanks to you, Judai, I almost died for the third time."

"Daitokuji teacher, are you still not used to it?" "Who can get used to this kind of thing, meow!"

Maruto Sho was also scared. Although he can swim, if he falls into the pool below, who knows if some aquatic monster will emerge. He said with some fear: "It was just that close, fortunately we reacted quickly."

"However, why did those tree roots suddenly disappear? Obviously, Maeda was fine when he walked, and Daitokuji teacher and I didn't have any problems at the beginning when we walked up together." As he spoke, he looked at Daitokuji who was also sitting on the ground, "Could it be because Daitokuji touched the tree roots with his hands?"

"Don't make it sound like my hands are dirty, so the tree roots dislike me, meow." Daitokuji complained helplessly, "Maybe it has something to do with the pond that Judai saw?"

Hearing Daitokuji's words, Judai quickly clarified: "But I didn't touch anything, absolutely not!"

"I just stood there in front of the pond and looked at it, huh?" Turning his head to look at the pond, Judai suddenly realized that he clearly remembered that among the nine building models, there were two models next to each other with lights on in the middle. Although he didn't remember the colors carefully, there were indeed two models with lights on.

But when he looked again, he found that only one model was lit now, and the other model that was still lit just now had its lights dimmed and became similar to the other models. Could it be that this is why the "tree root bridge" disappeared?

"Did you find anything, Judai?" Daitokuji asked curiously when he saw Judai looking at the pond seriously. Judai immediately shared his discovery. What they didn't know was that it was just the moment when Misawa used [General-Purple Flame] to clear the basic points of [Iron Realm King War-Dwarf United King]. Those who didn't know this information naturally couldn't use the existing information to analyze the truth.

But - although there was not enough information to reveal the truth, Judai and his team still had a secret weapon, which was Judai's amazing wisdom!

"Since the bridge is gone, we can't go back to the other side for the time being. It seems that the only thing we can contact next is this pond, right?" Judai looked at the exquisite relief on the edge of the pond, and curiously pushed it, and found that the metal ring where the relief was located could actually rotate, and at the same time it also drove the rotation of the soldier in the center of the pond, making it face other architectural models.

Moving away from the original position, Judai rotated the relief and pointed the soldier at the only lit building model and said, "My amazing wisdom tells me that now is the time to use my amazing intuition, and my amazing intuition says that this is the right thing to do!"

The next moment Judai pointed the soldier at the lit building model, the platform where Judai and his companions were suddenly rotated, causing their direction to change. They were no longer facing an empty wall, but a closed door. The previously contracted tree roots extended out again to build a bridge, and extended all the way to the closed door.

A gem on the door suddenly lit up, and the gap in the closed door emitted light. Then the extended tree roots took the initiative to open the door, revealing a back facing several people.

Marufuji Ryo turned his head and glanced at Judai and others who appeared behind him, then slowly turned around, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

As the title and illustration show, the temple here is actually referenced from the Kingdom Transmission Room in God of War 4

And, the voice actor of Manzhangmu, Taiki Matsuno, passed away,
