Chapter 4153 North 1
Chapter 4153 Bei Yi
In a newly built crystal hut, Angell saw the "Northern One" team of the Shadow Clan.
Through their conversation, Angel quickly figured out the team's background and tactical approach.
The team consists of three people: Bei Debao, Bei Ang, and Bei Jiji, all of whom are raiders from the Per Shadow Clan's military.
Their tactics were exactly the same as those of other Amber Shadow Clan squads before them—relying on their clan's innate talent for extreme speed, they used speed to restrain the Golden Phantom while using gold artifacts with acceleration effects to avoid instant-kill attacks, and combined this with the Fairy Realm item "Speed Bow" to shoot while retreating.
This "speed bow" has a special feature: the faster the wielder runs, the more powerful the arrows become. However, accuracy still requires hard practice, as hitting a target while running is not so easy.
To put it simply, the Shadow Clan's fighting style is to take "kiting" to the extreme.
The three-person team each targets one of the Golden Phantoms. If they can eliminate one of them first, they can immediately break the balance and seize the initiative. Looking at the tactics themselves, there's really nothing wrong with them.
However, the current problem lies in the choice of gold equipment: not all gold equipment is compatible with their speed talent, and the side effects of some gold equipment can even become a fatal hindrance.
Just like the leg ring that Xilaiguo chose before, it not only didn't help, but the added fear of gold caused him to completely collapse while speeding.
However, the Shadow Clan has already selected two suitable gold artifacts, and now only one more is needed.
Therefore, the clan's instructions to the North One team were clear: there was no need to rush to pass the level; the primary task was to find the third suitable piece of gold.
Once this gold artifact arrives, the subsequent North Second and North Third teams may be able to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop.
Previously, Angor only had a general understanding of how the Shadow Clan dealt with the Golden Phantom, but after listening to the details, he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
The Shadow Clan's tactics are really good.
Based on his own talent, he also encountered the "Speed Bow," a magical item that could perfectly utilize his talent, and then designed a strategy to counter the Golden Phantom.
It has to be said that if they were given a few more days to explore and restart, they might actually be able to clear the Golden Land.
Unfortunately, time waits for no one.
Even if the rabbit girl doesn't conquer the Golden City tomorrow, someone else will... for example, Miss Gossamer.
Angel had already learned from Shretta that Miss Gossa had chosen the Golden City.
Since Miss Gossa has chosen the Golden Land, she must be confident in clearing the level. This is something Angel is very certain of.
The current wait for the leaderboard is also a way of seeing if Miss Gossa's team can clear the level today.
Setting aside Miss Gossa for the time being, Angor concealed himself and arrived outside the door of the North Squad. Through the door, Angor pointed a finger inward.
The Nightmare Nodes, invisible to the naked eye, slipped in through the crack in the door like an invisible stream of air.
It split into three and silently attached itself to the three members of the North First Squad.
After doing all this, Angell gave them one last deep look before turning and leaving.
……
Twenty minutes later, the North First Squad silently entered the Golden Township checkpoint.
Meanwhile, Angel appeared on the second floor of an unmanned crystal house in the players' camp.
He leaned against the wall, gazing at the illusory sand table in the sky.
He appeared to be gazing at a sand table wonderland, but his thoughts had actually entered a god-like perspective, attempting to delve into the six layers of the puzzle...
There was no obstruction during the insertion process.
Apart from the already sealed Nereid, all other checkpoints were presented to Angor in their true form.
Just like before, the maps for the five levels are completely static and deserted, like a miniature garden model.
Although Angell had expected this, he still couldn't help but sigh.
However, Angor didn't dwell on it too much. Following the previous plan, he began to sense the Nightmare Aura left on the North First Squad.
It would be quite difficult for Angor to sense a mere illusion. After all, the aura of the Nightmare Realm is omnipresent in the Dream Crystal Plains.
However, the Nightmare Aura that Angel left on the North First Squad had a special divergent structure, similar to radio waves, constantly releasing coupling signals outward, so it was relatively easy to perceive.
Soon after, Angell spotted his target.
When the location of the target was determined, Angell's expression became slightly strange...
The lingering aura of nightmare emanating from the North First Squad now lingers in the void outside the Golden Land.
"So, the situation in Golden Land should be the same as it was in Nereid before," Angel murmured to himself, then began to follow the signal source into the void.
Normally, Angor would focus his attention on the miniature garden levels and wouldn't enter the void. Because the void represents nothingness, even if Angor activated his god-like perspective, he would still lose his way in this false, boundless space.
Perhaps only the creator of the Fairy Realm Power could achieve a perfect positioning in the void.
However, now that Nightmare has the ability to locate targets in the void, Angel is able to lock onto them with some difficulty.
Before long, he found the Nightmare Aura he had left on the North First Squad.
But when he saw the situation clearly, he couldn't help but sigh.
Bubbles, bubbles everywhere.
The three members of the North Team were also curled up in the bubble, fast asleep.
This is exactly the same situation they were in at Nereid.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the three members of the North Team are already in a "golden land," but it's still an illusion of a golden land...
Angel had originally thought that he might be able to use the Nightmare Aura to livestream the North One team's journey to the Golden Land.
But seeing this, he realized that live streaming was impossible.
His God's-eye view may illuminate all rivers and lakes, but it cannot illuminate illusions and dreams.
Therefore, we can only hope that after the North One team escapes the level, the Nightmare Aura will record their journey.
Angel withdrew his gaze from the bubble of the North Team and instead scanned his surroundings.
This area is filled with countless glowing bubbles, like a sea of light studded with starlight, and a challenger sleeps in each bubble.
Angel didn't try to figure out what the other challengers were thinking. The reason he turned his attention to the sea of bubbles was because he saw a figure that had broken free from the bubbles.
She was a girl who was less than 1.6 meters tall, with golden eyes that shone like polished amber.
Wearing a red and white tutu, the plain white dress was covered with all sorts of dolls: a little white horse with a rainbow mane, soft pink clouds, a chubby bird with a round silhouette, and several crooked cartoon rainbows...
It looks like he's taken apart an entire toy box and sewed it onto his body, giving off a childish yet quirky otaku vibe.
At this moment, the girl was lying on the edge of a bubble, her golden eyes wide open, peering curiously inside. She gently flicked her fingertips in the air, as if manipulating some invisible thread, and the surface of the bubble shimmered with tiny golden lights, clearly indicating that she had attracted some unseen force.
Angel didn't know her name, but he could roughly guess who she was.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a special NPC from the Golden Country, similar to the Observer in Montedan.
"So this is how the observer observes the challenger's trajectory—by lying on the bubble?" he thought to himself, subtly moving closer using his God's-eye view, hoping to use the other party's access to see the progress in the normal version of Golden Country.
But upon closer inspection, it became clear that the permissions the girl was using were protected by an invisible barrier, visible only to her.
If Angell were here, he could forcibly observe using his authority, but what he is casting now is merely a gaze, which cannot affect the presentation of the view.
Angel shook his head helplessly, looked at the girl for a moment, and finally decided to leave.
Before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at the bubble the girl was observing. When he saw the sleeping person inside, Angor paused, a subtle glint in his eyes.
because……
Sleeping inside the bubble is Miss Gossamer.
……
In the athletes' camp, Angel opened his eyes.
Recalling that brief experience, Angel felt a mix of emotions.
He was somewhat disappointed not to have seen the situation of the North First Squad, but it was within his expectations. What concerned him most was Miss Gossa.
Miss Gossa has already attracted the attention of the observers, and perhaps the vast majority of their points will be awarded to her.
In addition, she herself has a chance to clear the game...
Based on this calculation, Angell felt that the rabbit girl's chances were slim.
About half an hour later, the North One team appeared silently at the players' camp.
Seeing their dejected appearance, it was clear that their challenge had probably failed again. Angor gave them a deep look and withdrew the Nightmare Aura that had been attached to them.
He didn't check the records immediately, but carefully put them away first, and then waited quietly in the camp.
After a while.
As the clock struck midnight, the sand table projection on the floating island flickered, and a flood of light poured onto the island like flowing water.
Looking up at this moment, it's as if a giant, flowing sky lantern has appeared in the night sky.
The changes to the floating islands naturally did not escape the notice of the challengers in the camp.
Everyone looked over, and Gray Porcelain and Gabriel were among them.
As they watched, the flowing light in the sand table projection began to transform into a stream of information, flowing into the text boxes of all the contestants.
Gray Porcelain and Gabriel immediately clicked on the text bar, and a new Wonderland prompt appeared before their eyes.
"A perfect clear record has been achieved for the six-piece puzzle level 'Nereid'. The current level is now complete."
"The Sandbox Wonderland Ranking feature is now officially launched. (Click to view)"
The appearance of the leaderboard was recorded in the rules of the Sandbox Wonderland from the beginning, so no one was surprised.
Gray Porcelain and Gabriel had been waiting outside, also waiting for this ranking list.
Without hesitation, they clicked to view.
The moment they saw the leaderboard, Gray Porcelain and Gabriel both breathed a sigh of relief. The Rabbit Hole team was in first place, far ahead with a score of 130; second place went to the Lord of Ten Thousand Games, and third place to the Divine Dragon Team.
Based on the current ranking scores, it is clear that Nereid's completion results will be the standard.
As for the other levels, none of them have been perfectly cleared yet, so they won't appear on the leaderboard since no scores are calculated.
"Great!" Gray Porcelain couldn't help but whisper with joy, a huge weight lifted from her heart. Since no one could threaten Rabbit Hole's leading position for the time being, it was highly likely that Rabbit Girl would be facing Golden Land alone next.
And I was liberated!
On the other hand, Gabriel, though slightly disappointed—it wanted the team to maintain its advantage while also wanting to participate in the challenge of Golden Country—accepted the result with equanimity.
Compared to the understated expression of the gray porcelain and Gabriel, the surrounding crowd erupted in a commotion, with gasps of astonishment rising and falling.
Not everyone knows that Nereid has been perfectly cleared, especially those outside the core information circle who have no way of knowing this news.
Now, the sand table projection clearly displays the rankings, which is tantamount to announcing this matter directly to the world.
Originally, this matter only sparked heated discussions within the challenger community. Now, with the release of the leaderboard, the discussions instantly broke through the camp's boundaries, with even passersby on the outskirts joining in. The buzzing discussions spread like a tide.
Just then, Angel appeared beside Gray Porcelain and Gabriel.
With a single glance, the two immediately understood and followed.
“I have some new intelligence here. Let’s go back to the manor for a meeting first.” After saying this, Angell led the two back to the Text Manor.
When they returned to the manor, Angell noticed that Laplace had arrived before them.
Clearly, everyone is waiting for the leaderboard results at midnight.
Everyone reunited in the garden surrounded by the Big Mary Rose, and Gray Porcelain and Gabriel were the first to report the latest situation on the leaderboard.
Upon hearing this, the rabbit girl immediately stood up: "Then I'll go conquer the Golden Land right now."
"Don't rush," Angell raised his hand to stop them slightly. "I just received some information; you can take a look first."
All eyes turned to him.
Angel didn't say much, he just snapped his fingers lightly.
The next second, a faint light appeared on the stone table, and an illusion slowly unfolded like a holographic projection: it was the entire process of the North One team of the Amber Shadow Clan entering the Golden Land.
“???” Gabriel and Montedan looked at Angor, wondering where this came from.
Gray Porcelain, on the other hand, remained calm. He was already used to Angel occasionally providing some surprising information.
This time, Angel didn't try to hide anything and said frankly, "Before the North One team entered the Golden Land, I left some illusion nodes on them to see if I could record their process in the Golden Land."
"It seems feasible at the moment."
"Alright, stop looking at me, watch their process." Angell: "Speaking of which, this is my first time seeing this too..."
Although Gabriel and Montessori still felt a little strange, they were now beginning to learn from Gray Porcelain and accept Angel's...specialness.
The illusion continued to play.
You can clearly see the scene of the Bei Yi team selecting gold items at the gold market, as well as conversations among team members.
Angell chimed in, breaking down the Shadow Clan's tactics: "They didn't split up their strategies. Instead, they had teams take turns challenging the same level. The first team would summarize their experience, and the next team would take over. By constantly trying and failing, they would select suitable gold artifacts and then combine them with their own talents to maximize their combat power."
