Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

After passing three challenges in a row, the two of them had accumulated more than a dozen rubies and sapphires.

Upon entering the sixth level, the road conditions ahead changed.

It's no longer a single, dead-end road; instead, a maze of branching paths has emerged.

[Hint: There is a dead end ahead. A boss pet or a hidden treasure chest may be waiting at the end of the dead end.]

Following the clues, Mo Fan and Feng Ling'er explored the area and found that it was indeed true.

At this moment, in front of the two of them.

Then a small flame appeared, guarding the place.

However, behind this small flame, there was no path to continue, only a wall.

The two stopped.

Feng Ling'er looked at Mo Fan: "Should we fight or not? Anyway, all we need to do to clear the level is reach the checkpoint. These dead-end guard pets are fine."

Whether we fight or not doesn't matter; avoiding the fight will actually reduce the pet's stamina consumption.

Mo Fan looked at the small flame with extremely high health in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Clear it all."

This game only offers one chance; once you complete a level, you cannot return to the original level. Defeating the small flames will consume resources, but you will also receive gems.

These gems are absolutely useful. If you don't take them now, you'll regret it later.

“Okay.” Feng Ling’er had no objection; she was also unwilling to miss this opportunity.

As someone who is equally proud, if I'm going to do something, I want to do it to the best of my ability.

Fortunately, both Fire Dragon and Elegant Swan are quite powerful pets.

When encountering a small flame, Fire Dance Dragon's dual Dragon and Fire type attacks provide four times the Fire resistance of the small flame. The Dragon type move Jump Jump allows for close-range combat, suppressing the small flame.

The Noble Swan uses high-pressure jets from the rear to deal high amounts of counter-damage.

Although the battle with small water droplets will be more difficult than with small flames, it will not put you at a disadvantage.

In this way, even if Mo Fan and Feng Ling'er actively confronted these stationed BOSS pets, they would not suffer significant losses.

Soon, they successfully passed the sixth and seventh levels, and the two of them obtained all the gems in the levels.

But the moment you step into the eighth level, a blinding red light suddenly pops up on the panel.

[Hint: This level is in time-limited mode! You have 10 minutes to complete it! Failure to complete within the time limit will result in game failure!]

Above their heads, a huge red countdown began to tick.

Clearly, the difficulty has increased again.

"Looks like we need to speed things up!" Mo Fan's eyes sharpened.

The two stopped exploring leisurely. Fire Dragon and Elegant Swan led the way, passing through walls and attacking any pets they encountered without regard for skill PP consumption.

Despite the time constraints, Mo Fan did not give up searching for gems in the side paths.

Finally, with only thirty seconds left in the countdown, the two people and their two pets stepped into the light circle leading to the next level without any major incident.

"Hoo." Feng Ling'er breathed a little heavily, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Mo Fan glanced at her, but didn't say anything, instead looking ahead.

Level 9.

[Hint: Final level! 5-minute time limit!]

5 minutes?

Mo Fan's brows furrowed instantly.

The level map in front of us is not complicated; in fact, it can be described as extremely simple.

There were only two straight passages ahead, which converged at the end of the line of sight to form a passageway that shimmered with golden light.

The map for this ninth level is actually a full-view map.

But the problem lies in what's inside these two channels.

Along the left-hand passage, at intervals, there are small flames and water droplets, at least five or six in total.

The passage on the right is lined with alternating walls of fire and water, and in the gaps between the walls are magnificent treasure chests.

Both roads lead to the destination.

But it only lasted for 5 minute.

If you go to the left.

We should have enough time to fight our way through, thanks to the power of the Fire Dragon and the Noble Swan, but we'll have to give up on all the treasure chests on the right.

If you go to the right.

You can open treasure chests by passing through walls, and there's plenty of time.

But that's only enough. It's practically impossible to go back to the left, defeat the guarding pets, and collect the dropped gems.

Feng Ling'er clearly saw the gravity of the situation: "There's simply not enough time for us to complete both paths; we have to choose one. Which one?"

Mo Fan stared at the two passages, his brain working at lightning speed.

Choosing either side means giving up some gems.

To be honest, the two of them had passed so many levels without missing a single gem in the previous levels, and had accumulated a lot of gems.

Logically speaking, this can already be considered an outstanding performance.

However, for Mo Fan, who pursues perfection...

It would be such a pity to give up like this.

Just then, Mo Fan looked at the passage on his right, a thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly remembered something.

"Take both paths," Mo Fan said in a deep voice.

Feng Ling'er was taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in her cool eyes: "How do we get there? There's no time."

"We'll split into two groups." Mo Fan turned to look at Fire Dragon and Noble Swan. "Fire Dragon, you and Noble Swan go to the left, fight your way through, and collect all the dropped gems."

Wind Chime and I went to the right to get the treasure chest.

After listening, Feng Ling'er frowned slightly: "It's fine for the pet to walk on the left alone."

But the right side is all walls of fire and water. Without the help of the Fire Dragon and the Elegant Swan to pass through the walls and trigger the mechanisms, how are we supposed to get through?

The game had rules set from the beginning, requiring fire and water-type pets to break through the corresponding elemental walls.

However, if Fire Dragon and Elegant Swan were to solve these mechanisms first before going to the left passage to fight, there simply wouldn't be enough time.

Mo Fan smiled and looked intently at Feng Ling'er: "Have you forgotten that we're not just players, we're also mages?"

Feng Ling'er was slightly taken aback.

Mo Fan raised his hand, and immediately, a faint blue ripple appeared around him.

"Fire control technique, water repelling spell."

Mo Fan's voice echoed in the empty passage, "The game only says that fire and water powers are needed to pass through the walls, it doesn't say that this power must come from pets. We ourselves are the best key."

Feng Ling'er's eyes lit up instantly.

Yup!

They have already learned two basic spells during the trials in the secret realm dungeon.

While it's not very useful for combat, it can be used to resist elemental forces of the same attribute.

However, whether it will work in this game remains to be seen.

Neither of them were cowards; they exchanged a glance and said nothing more.

"Walk."

Mo Fan turned to Huo Wulong and said, "Go ahead, the left side is yours. Make sure it's quick!"

"Roar!" The Fire Dance Dragon let out an excited dragon roar, its wings flapped suddenly, and it charged into the left passage like two streaks of light with the magnificent swan, engaging in battle with the guarding pet.

Mo Fan and Feng Ling'er exchanged a glance and rushed towards the passage on the right without hesitation.

What came into view was a wall of fire several meters high, burning fiercely, and the scorching heat wave hit us, even distorting the air itself.

Mo Fan did not slow down at all; his demonic power surged, and he activated his fire control technique.

"rush!"

The two of them crashed headfirst into the wall of fire.

The burning sensation lingered on the skin's surface for only a moment before being completely neutralized by the magic of the fire control technique.

"It really works!"

Mo Fan and Feng Ling'er were overjoyed.

They actually found this shortcut!

Immediately afterwards, the two activated the mechanism, opened the treasure chest, and took the gems inside, their movements fluid and graceful.

"continue!"

Water wall, fire wall, treasure chest.

The two seemed like tireless machines, alternating between water-repelling spells and fire-controlling techniques as they frantically advanced through the right-hand passage.

Meanwhile, on the left side of the passage, explosions and dragon roars echoed one after another.

The fiery dragon and the elegant swan, working in perfect harmony, are invincible and unstoppable.

Jump Strike, Flame Vortex, High-Pressure Jet, Wing Strike – several skills bombarded the enemy in turn.

Despite their considerable strength, Little Flame and Little Water Drop were still defeated by Fire Dance Dragon and Noble Swan.

Time passed by, second by second.

[Countdown: 1 minutes and 20 seconds]
