Take the Advancement Path First
"Thanks, this is just what I need. I won't be polite, here you go. It's just a little gadget, it's not worth much, you can just play with it."
As Gu Xi spoke, he gave Hart a small gift in return.
That was a strange little item that Gu Xi obtained in the world of the Bailian Grand Ceremony: Flying Balloon.
Hart took the Flying Balloon, examined it for a moment, and then laughed.
"This is interesting. Thank you, Gu Xi."
"Don't mention it, I'll be going now. Oh, by the way, this is my owl. If your family needs to contact me, you can send the owl to find me."
Gu Xi handed an owl to Hart before leaving.
The battle here clearly doesn't require his participation, so he can simply bypass it.
Following the direction Hart pointed, Gu Xi circled around a small path, then suddenly paused.
At this moment, he had seen a completely different world.
The world before me is still normal in terms of mountains and rivers, but the buildings in this world are colorful and gaudy, like enlarged Lego toys.
The mountain road in front of us, in particular, has a very plasticky feel to it.
Behind the White Castle, by the lake, stands a red and green train station.
"Does this mean they treat the whole world like a toy?"
No wonder this evil god called Lida Juan is so disliked.
After muttering something to himself, Gu Xi led his troops along the path. He did not approach the lakeside train station, nor did he have any intention of flanking and attacking the White Castle.
Gu Xi discovered that several factions in the Stuttestrup World had recruited people, and they had already started targeting the Evil God Believer.
This is the perfect opportunity for Gu Xi to complete his own career Advancement Task.
In Gu Xi's view, no matter where he fights now, he will inevitably clash with other summoned experts.
Other players are probably not as easy to talk to as Fang Kang.
Right now, no matter where Gu Xi goes, he will be on guard, so he might as well complete his own advancement first.
Once you have the job, things will be easier.
Even if the Evil God Temple descends and everything he gained in this world is returned, he's already reached level 5, hasn't he? Once the experience is replenished, his advanced class won't disappear again.
Who knows, you might even exploit a bug to advance again and get an extra chance to choose talents.
With the idea of exploiting a bug in mind, Gu Xi stuffed the map into the Evil Coffin, put away the main force that was following him, leaving only the Flying Troops suitable for long-distance travel outside, and headed towards the location on the map where the Thorns Golden Crown was hidden.
To ensure he wouldn't be ambushed, Gu Xi deployed Flying Troops consisting of Gargoyle for scouting, Bone Dragon, and Nether Soul Dragon.
They flew through the sky, their presence commanding respect.
The Evil God Believer learned of Gu Xi's existence immediately.
However, Gu Xi's timing was perfect; the Evil God Believer were being attacked by several other powerful figures.
Even after discovering Gu Xi's actions, no one took the initiative to provoke Gu Xi.
This made Gu Xi's progress quite smooth, and soon the Evil Coffin led Gu Xi to the place where the Thorns Golden Crown was hidden, based on the map.
When Gu Xi arrived here, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
The current situation worried him somewhat.
According to Lin Qi, the Thorns Golden Crown was hidden in a Princess's Forest full of Princess's Forest, where a hidden castle was located.
Gu Xi's first task was to find the right path through the thorny Princess's Forest and enter the castle.
The Flower of the North was stuck at this very step.
In fact, not only the Flower of the North, but everyone who came to take on the challenge got stuck at this step.
This thorn Princess's Forest is quite strange. No matter how a normal person tries to cut it down, they can't cut it down, they can't burn it, and they can't fly over it.
If attacked by physical force, the thorns will reflect the attack effect back at you.
The only way to deal with it is to use the Death Avatar's death attack.
Only by using this method can we cut through the thorns and make a way in.
After that, the castle had no gate. To enter, one had to open the City Gate of the Death City and create a gate for the castle.
As for what lies further inside, Lin Qi had no idea.
Because over the years, no one has ever come into contact with the Thorns Golden Crown. All they know is from the earliest records of the Shadow Crown Speaker.
In the records of previous Speakers, the Thorns Golden Crown has been obtained six times. Four of those times were for advancing to a special class, and two times were for Lich of level 15 or higher who had other options.
Besides these six times, there are more than ten other records of contact with the castle.
However, those people never came out after entering the castle.
So nobody knows whether they came into contact with the Thorns Golden Crown.
Of course, there are reasons why the Shadow Crown people value players' search for the Thorns Golden Crown so much.
The crowns on all their heads were replicas of the Thorns Golden Crown.
As long as someone comes into contact with the Thorns Golden Crown, the energy accumulated by the Thorns Golden Crown over the years will be automatically distributed to all the imitations, and through the imitations, everyone's strength level will be improved.
It can be said that every time someone comes into contact with the Thorns Golden Crown, it is a celebration of crazy power boost for the Shadow Crown members.
They wished they could pave the way for everyone who wanted to find the Thorns Golden Crown.
If they could get closer to the thorny Princess's Forest, they would have carried the person to the edge of the Princess's Forest.
But if we tell them everything we know, they will definitely do it.
While waiting for Shadow Fortress to arrive at Soul-Devouring Valley, Lin Qi made sure to explain all the details clearly so that Gu Xi wouldn't Gu Xi things.
He described every detail except what one might encounter inside the castle.
The guide explains in great detail which route to take, where to start your attack, how to place the castle City Gate, and whether there is a moat outside the castle.
It could be said that Gu Xi already knew about the situation here.
But what Gu Xi saw before him was not what Lin Qi had described. Thorns were entwined among the trees, and the castle's spire could be faintly seen behind the leaves.
But the situation before us is completely wrong. The Princess's Forest is still full of thorns, but the color of the trees is obviously wrong. These trees look like they are made of plastic, and every leaf is an unnatural green.
Looking again at the castle spire nestled in the Princess's Forest, Gu Xi felt increasingly uneasy.
The spire had already extended Lin Xu, and what was once a tall tower had now transformed into a massive wooden handle resembling the tower itself.
The evil god has attacked this place.
