Arad's Sword

Chapter 477
The path of strength and the path of wisdom seem to be a choice between the tester who is good at "strength" or "wisdom".

But in fact, this is not the case at all.

Among the fighters who entered the underground dragon tower, which one would lack "strength"?
To put it bluntly, "Only under the age of 30 are eligible, and can only enter once." This harsh premise itself has the most direct high requirements for strength.

Therefore, when everyone has enough power, the choice of so-called "strength" and "wisdom" is fundamentally a kind of confusion and misleading.

In Midi's view, what Longshou really offered was two choices, "conservative" and "challenging".

Choosing the path of strength means that the tester is quite conservative and cautious, and does not dare to take risks easily. At the same time, it is also a proof of not being confident enough about himself.

And choosing the path of wisdom, in essence, is tantamount to choosing to face almost completely unknown challenges.

To dare to face the unknown, you not only need to be extremely confident in your own strength, but also have enough courage and a good attitude.

It can be said that when a tester makes the decision to "choose the path of wisdom", it can be regarded as having overcome a difficulty.

Choosing the "tenth floor" of the road of wisdom can be said to have overcome the most difficult level of difficulties.

The choice itself means overcoming fear.

Therefore, although the specific test content of the path of wisdom is alchemy, according to Midi's inference, this content should not be too difficult.

After all, judging from his contact with the dragon head, the Dark Dragon God should choose the heir of the true dragon inheritance, and definitely not a master of alchemy.

Therefore, when Midi found that the mechanism room was flawless, he was not particularly panicked. On the contrary, he thought that this might be a reminder to the experimenter not to think too complicated about alchemy.

In the end, as long as the hourglass is smashed into a specific area on the ground, the teleportation circle can be activated, which proves Midi's deduction——

The alchemy trial is completely a cover.

That is a trial that even adventurers who don't know alchemy, as long as they are resourceful and experienced enough, can complete the trial.

It can be said that the first level of entry into the Underground Dragon Pagoda, the question of choosing a path, is fundamentally a thorough test of one's character.

Unfortunately, almost everyone was deceived by it.

It's no wonder that the experience accumulated by so many big families in Menzoberranzan over the past 1000 years is useless in this underground dragon tower.

As for Midi, he has mastered alchemy, even if his deduction is wrong, he still has the ability to face the test of alchemy head-on.

Even if this alchemy is beyond his domain, he can still ask the eighth apostle Rotes to do it.

Therefore, Midi not only saw something strange, but also dared to try it without hesitation.

The final result was a smooth pass and a huge reward.

Go directly to the tenth floor of the Underground Dragon Tower!
There is no doubt that once entering the tenth floor, it is tantamount to a big step ahead of everyone else!

You know, the first floor to the tenth floor, in the final analysis, are all connected. In other words, if a team teleports directly to the fifth floor, and Midi and the others teleport to the fourth floor, then wait until Midi and the others teleport to the fourth floor. After finally coming to the fifth floor, what I saw should be a fifth floor that was looted.

Not only that, but there is also a possibility that Midi's team is directly teleported to a floor already occupied by other people, thus causing a conflict on the spot.

Whether it is eating other people's exhaust or conflicting on the spot, it is a disadvantageous situation for exploration.

To avoid these two situations, the most important thing is to be able to directly reach floors that no other team has ever set foot on.

In other words, the lowest floor.

However, this is easy to say, but in practice, how easy is it to do?
Before Midi's arrival, the three teams of Death Scorpion, Red Blood Bat, and Two-headed War Wolf had already entered the underground dragon tower.

In other words, even if they entered the same floor, Midi and his party, who were late, might only eat the exhaust of other people. They might not even have a chance to have a frontal conflict, and they could only follow behind them all the way.

And if you want to enter the lowest floor on the "Road of Power", this is almost impossible.

Although Midi, who has been reborn from the ashes after obtaining the "True Dragon Inheritance", is extremely powerful, he doesn't think he has reached the point where he can sweep Crystal Dragon Castle.

Not to mention, he still can't see through Alex and Thor.

Especially the "King of Fighters" Thor.

This level 67 powerhouse can undoubtedly hold down Midi in terms of pure strength.

It can be said that if you choose the road of strength, you will definitely suffer from Thor's exhaust, and after catching up, it is impossible to take advantage of it.

But at this moment, Midi chose the "Road of Wisdom" and directly passed the test, jumping to the tenth floor.

This is equivalent to solving all the above troubles at once.

No more falling behind on exploration progress, or jumping into frays as soon as you get up to the advantage of third parties.

From now on, Midi is the frontrunner.

All the people can only follow behind Midi, walk the path that Midi has explored, and rob Midi to pick up the remaining treasures.

"Let's go, let's see what's in this underground dragon tower." With a hint of expectation, Midi launched the psychic power "half-scene sensing", and strode towards the depths of the darkness.

At the same time, when Midi went straight to the tenth floor, the other three teams that entered the underground dragon tower in advance were also marching hard.

On the fourth floor of the Underground Dragon Pagoda, the team of two-headed war wolves is about to break through this floor and is about to reach the entrance to the fifth floor.

The chief core disciple named Curt is a level 65 Dacheng. In terms of level alone, he is on par with Daheni of the Flaming Snake, but because he lacks a strong blood, he usually keeps a low profile.

However, it is precisely because of the lack of blood power that this person is usually extremely cautious, and will never do unsure things, and will never engage in unsure battles.

Along the way, after entering the fourth floor, Curt also took one step at a time, steadily and steadily, so that he could directly reach the entrance to the next floor at the cost of zero casualties.

However, it is a pity that when Curt really reaches the fifth floor, he will definitely become very disappointed.

Because, the team of the Red Blood Bat Family has already wiped out the main area of ​​the fifth floor.

The fifth floor is a bit more complicated than the fourth floor, but Alex is in the Red Blood Bat Family.

Although Alex has always kept a low profile, at least on the surface he looks a bit worse than Simon, but he is a high-level psyker, a real powerhouse that even Midi can't see through.

As long as you use the psychic power "half scene induction", you can easily discover various traps and mechanisms in the fifth floor, and then influence the thinking of others, and the whole team will easily follow Alec's instructions. Stephen's pace went into action.

Compared with the two-headed battle wolf's step-by-step approach, the red-blooded bat can be said to have traveled very smoothly, without encountering too many obstacles at all, and directly arrived at the entrance of the sixth floor.

However, compared with the Death Scorpion team of the first family, their record is not enough.

"King of Fighting" Thor also chose the "Road of Power".

However, this is not because he is not confident enough in his own strength, nor is it because he has not seen through the misleading Longshou's words, but because he wants to get more spoils.

If he chooses the path of wisdom, Thor will undoubtedly directly choose the challenge on the tenth floor, but that means that he will miss the first nine floors.

Forget about the first five floors, from the sixth to the ninth floor, based on the previous experience of the Death Scorpion, there are quite a lot of exciting materials and inheritances.

Therefore, this "fighting king" simply chose the path of strength, and then controlled the strength within a range, so that he could search all the way down from the sixth floor.

However, after all, it was Thor's first visit to the Crystal Dragon Castle, so in the end, he failed to get his wish and was directly transported to the seventh floor.

Although I feel a little regretful, it obviously won't hinder the speed of his advance.

Along the way, all kinds of alchemy organs, magic circles, traps, etc., could not become obstacles at all.

Thor didn't try to disassemble these mechanisms, but directly crushed them all the way with an extremely powerful level!
With this incomparably domineering way of opening the way, the exploration team of the Death Scorpions naturally advanced at an astonishingly fast speed.

While the other two teams had just cleaned the floor, the Death Scorpions had already cleaned the seventh and eighth floors directly, more than twice as fast as their opponents!
At this moment, they have reached the end of the eighth floor, before the passage leading to the ninth floor.

In front of this passage, there is a huge alchemy door tightly closed, and only by opening it can one enter the ninth floor.

As usual, Thor stepped forward directly, stabbing out with a silver spear in his hand, like a streamer.

Only this time, the stab hit the alchemy gate without leaving even a trace.

From the seventh floor to the entrance of the ninth floor, the strength of the alchemy mechanism is constantly improving. At this place, even the 67th-level "fighting king" Thor can't continue to crush it.

"Humph, it seems that something interesting finally appeared in this underground dragon tower." Thor said so plainly, and then made an ordering gesture to the back.

Immediately, Akdina, who was ranked third, and Loki, who was ranked fourth, stepped forward at the same time and began to check the alchemy gate.

Both of them have certain accomplishments in cracking the magic circle. At this moment, they want to try to eliminate part of the protection on the alchemy gate, and then Thor will break it.

However, this is only a stopgap measure after all.

The best way to crack it, of course, is to try to find a master of mechanics and directly open the door of alchemy.

Doing that would not only save time and effort, but also ensure the integrity of the alchemy gate.

When the next team came here, they had to face another obstacle from the Alchemy Gate, which was tantamount to tripping up their competitors.

But it's clear that "King of Fighters" Thor has never been one to wait.

Over the years, only others waited for him, and no one waited for others.

Midi deliberately delayed improving his cultivation in the crystal forest, and Thor would naturally not stay for him alone, even if Midi was a master of mechanics.

"It's a pity. If you were willing to use it for me, you would have gained a lot of benefits. Now, without the protection of the team, you and the fighters from those small families can get you from the first place in the Underground Dragon Pagoda. What floor does the adventure start?" Thor whispered to himself, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.
