On the same stage.
In three secret palaces.
In three small groups.
Only two groups could get food. This was indeed a race of life and death. Spells couldn't be cast in the Land of Forbidden Magic. Apart from a few races that didn't need food, all creatures needed energy. Monk Warriors with strong physiques could last for years or even decades, but after a long time, they would run out of energy.
The Land of Forbidden Magic was so strange that even "eating" became a danger.
Tang Shidao looked around.
A series of knocking sounds came from the secret palace on the left.
Soon, Rotten Bones laughed. "Hahaha, it's done. It's just a one-star Lother copper dagger. I can make it in one minute. Owl Hunter, why aren't you doing it? Do you know what kind of Lother copper is? Don't confuse it with Windsala ore. Hahaha … "
Rotten Bones reacted quickly. He took the dagger and quickly put it into a keyhole.
The Lother copper dagger was put in.
The mechanism rumbled. Soon, a conveyor belt appeared. White eggs that looked like soft cocoons were placed on it. They looked like the eggs of some kind of large insect. Rotten Bones signaled with his eyes. A magic apostle held back his fear and took a bite.
The egg liquid flowed out. After a few breaths, the magic apostle's expression was still normal.
"It's not poisonous."
"Take it all away. We don't know when we'll have more." Rotten Bones ordered everyone to collect the food.
The conveyor belt kept moving.
Soon, the white eggs were piled up, but the conveyor belt didn't stop. It was as if the winner had unlimited food, enough to fill the entire secret palace. On the other hand, Tang Shidao and the cloth-robed woman's wall didn't move. There was nothing but refining materials.
"That's enough. There's too much. There should be an unlimited supply of food. There's no need to store it." Rotten Bones stopped everyone.
"I thought so too. Unless we go to the next level, the winner won't lack food." Rotten Bones carefully checked the furnace. He found that the energy here was connected to the underground molten fire. No wonder the underground world had enough energy. To be able to do this in the Land of Forbidden Magic, Evil Eye lived up to his reputation as one of the seven heroes. If they won this time and got Evil Eye's treasures, his brother's status would rise by at least five levels.
He turned to look at the other two secret chambers.
The cloth-robed woman also gently hammered for a while to forge a Lother copper dagger. The wall opened, and the conveyor belt moved the food, but the cloth-robed woman did not take it.
He didn't take a single one, as if he didn't see them.
Xie Gu and Xie Xue were shocked. She doesn't need food? Or was it just an act? She had already won, so she deliberately put some pressure on others. Hmm, hmm, there's nothing that can be done to refine an artifact. Maybe there really is such a possibility.
At this moment.
Neither of them pressed the button to enter the next floor. They just stared at Tang Shidao and wondered how capable this' Owl 'Mage was.
Tang Shidao did not start forging.
He stepped forward.
They found some dried corpses in the Great Secret Palace.
Rummaging through the books, he found another dozen or so refining manuals and some miscellaneous materials. Tang Shidao thought to himself, 'This kind of competition wasn't just once. These withered corpses are from different time periods, and the style of their armor and the degree of rust also proves that … they are at least a few hundred years apart!' With such a difference, they were naturally not the same group of people.
Xie Gu and Xie Xue had already noticed it, but they were too lazy to remind him.
Tang Shidao flipped through the books for a while.
He slowly walked to the stove.
"That's not Lohser copper ingot, that's Water Rock Iron." Xie Gu deliberately reminded him with a smile. He almost snorted 'newbie'.
Tang Shidao ignored him.
Ding ding dang dang, the forging was finally completed. As soon as he put it in the keyhole, it immediately popped out without even checking.
"Haha, the materials are all wrong. I say, Owl, do you even know how to refine artifacts? Do you think you can get away with this? To tell you the truth, even if a refiner dies, his skills won't die. You want to use a fake to trick a refining genius? Just wait to starve to death. "Xie Gu laughed loudly. He was very happy to see a hunter being defeated.
The other members of the Inverse Mage were the same. They were very happy to see a hunter in danger.
They had already foreseen it.
Soon, this hunter would starve to death in front of them … … The top team of the Mage Net, the enemy of the Inverse Mage, the hunter that everyone respected, would starve to death in front of them.
Xie Gu and Xie Xue saw that the cloth-robed woman didn't leave, so they also stayed to watch.
After waiting for a long time.
Finally, Tang Shidao reluctantly forged a Lohser copper dagger. He gently put down the keyhole. This time, there was no food conveyor belt, only a button to go down. At this time, all three sides knew that regardless of skill, only the top two would get food even if they succeeded. If they failed, they wouldn't even have the chance to go down. They could only starve to death on the first floor.
Unless, you had the ability to break through the steel wall.
Xie Gu and Xie Xue had already tested it. There was no such possibility!
The wall here wasn't made of ordinary steel, but a metal called Dragon Tendon Steel. It had super hard properties, and at the same time, it had the strange toughness to absorb shock waves. That was why it was named Dragon Tendon Steel. In places with magic, Dragon Tendon Steel was a very strong defensive material. In a place where magic was forbidden, even a dragon's claws wouldn't be able to scratch it.
The transparent crystal wall was the skin of the Aqua Luminous Whale. There was no mistaking it.
It wasn't as thick as the wall, but its defensive power was three times better.
Trapped in a place like this, even the Warriors from the twenty or thirty stations might not be able to escape. Those who were active around the second station could only obediently compete.
"Go down."
After seeing the situation clearly, Xie Gu didn't stay any longer. He immediately ordered to press the button to enter the second stage.
Great Secret Palace descended.
Very soon.
It stopped at a certain point, and the button above their heads slowly closed. Tang Shidao and the cloth-robed woman, who were one level above, couldn't even see what the people below were doing. The last thing they saw was Xie Gu waving his hand, as if he knew that he had a chance of winning just by looking at the mission.
The cloth-robed woman glanced at Tang Shidao, and also pressed the button to enter the next stage.
Tang Shidao reached out his hand.
He didn't press the button to go down. Instead, he pulled the Lohser copper dagger back.
It was also a copper dagger.
Opening the handbook he looted from the corpse, Tang Shidao noticed a line of words: It's a perfectionist!
These words appeared a few times.
Many handwritten letters appeared.
Tang Shidao guessed that this wasn't a coincidence, but an epiphany 'before death'. If so many people had such an epiphany, it proved that it was really important. In terms of refining, Tang Shidao admitted that he was only at the beginner level. He would definitely lose to masters like Xie Gu and Xie Xue. However, there was an eternal benefit to joining the Sorcerer's Web: You can learn if you don't know, you don't lack time!
Other people would be in danger of starving in the Forbidden Land, but Tang Shidao wasn't.
Cultivating the Primordial Black Flame.
Slowly.
Carefully.
Tang Shidao identified the materials one by one to see what could make the Lohser copper dagger more perfect.
After a while.
A rumbling sound came from the bottom left. It seemed that Xie Gu and Xie Gu had successfully completed the second stage and were heading to the third stage. After waiting for a while, the same sound came from the right. The cloth-robed woman had also completed and was heading to the third stage.
Tang Shidao ignored them and continued to read slowly. He felt that cultivating the Primordial Black Flame here would absorb more energy.
After reading all the materials.
Tang Shidao tried to forge all the materials once to see which one was more suitable.
He forged once.
He gained nothing.
"Continue." Tang Shidao wasn't discouraged. If he gained something after just one try, he would definitely suspect that something was wrong. He reforged the second time, gained nothing. He reforged the third time, gained nothing. He reforged the fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time … Until the rumbling sound came again, Tang Shidao still didn't gain anything.
This was a competition between a novice and a group of masters.
This result was very normal.
However.
The seventh time, the eighth time, the ninth time, the tenth time … Even if he didn't gain anything, Tang Shidao was more familiar with the technique. His movements were more agile, faster, and the forging was better. Even the cultivation of the Primordial Black Flame had slightly sped up.
He continued to hammer.
Soon, the materials were used up.
Picking up the last set of materials, Tang Shidao suddenly found that there was a button and a line of words under the giant box containing the materials: When the materials are used up, press the button below to obtain new refining materials. The forging could be thrown away or put back and dealt with at will. Congratulations on discovering this secret. The order of your discovery is: 26!
The last one was the number on the metal wheel.
It proved that there were 25 people who had used up the materials before him.
The Lohse copper dagger was a one-star weapon.
In theory, anyone who had a little knowledge of refining could successfully forge it. Even if they didn't learn alchemy, ordinary people had a chance to forge it, as long as they happened to choose the Lohse copper ingot. Those who could forge the materials were definitely not rookies. They must be people with great imagination.
Looking at the bones around him, Tang Shidao thought, "Are the 25 discoverers also here?"
He pressed the button.
The machine moved slowly. There was plenty of time for Tang Shidao to throw back the forging materials. Slowly, a new batch of materials was sent out.
It was worth noting.
There was no chance to escape from the passage where the materials were sent, unless you could turn into an ant to crawl through the gap.
Tang Shidao didn't think much about it.
The boring movements were repeated over and over again. Every time he felt "very good," but after another round of forging, he found that he was still a little short. As he forged, he cultivated the primordial black flames. Soon, time passed without him noticing. From time to time, there was a rumbling sound from underground. Tang Shidao was too lazy to argue about who had advanced.
In terms of fighting, he wasn't weak, but in terms of forging … he was really far behind.
That was it.
Tang Shidao repeated the extraction of materials seventeen times. Finally, there was a Lohse copper dagger that he was satisfied with. This didn't mean that it was the best it could be, but that Tang Shidao felt that the Lohse copper had been used to the limit. It was perfect to use it alone.
If he wanted to improve the quality of the Lohse copper dagger, he would have to add other materials.
Tang Shidao felt that he shouldn't do that.
The Lohse copper dagger was a Lohse copper dagger. Evil Eye wanted it to be a one-star weapon, not a gem.
He submitted again.
The mechanism rumbled.
After a while, the conveyor belt opened, but it didn't deliver food. Instead, it delivered a Spell Sealing Bottle and a Mana Sealing Bottle. Tang Shidao opened the Mana Sealing Bottle and instantly increased his Mana by one point. He didn't think about whether Evil Eye was stingy or not. He opened the Spell Sealing Bottle again. This time, he received a spell called "Swing Speed."
"Is it suitable for swinging a blacksmith's hammer? Forget it. Spells can't be used in a Forbidden Land. "Tang Shidao didn't think too much about it. This was the perfect strategy for the first level.
There were nine levels in total.
The first level rewarded one Mana … The second level rewarded ten Mana? The ninth level rewarded one hundred million Mana?
Tang Shidao shook his head.
The first few levels were possible, but the later levels wouldn't reward so much Mana. Maybe Evil Eye didn't lack Mana, but this way of "gaining Mana" wasn't desirable. Evil Eye wouldn't do something so useless. Besides, Evil Eye might not be able to make a Magic Sealing Bottle with one million Mana.
He didn't think too much about it.
He pressed the mechanism and entered the second level.
