Chapter Ninety-Four: The Labyrinth of Ancient Ruins
Before crossing over, Wang Xiao had read the historical introduction in the game manual, and at that time, he was holding the mentality of playing games, so the historical introduction was used as a background setting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The historical information in the playbook is only introduced from a thousand years ago.
Later, Wang Xiao crossed over and immediately realized that the history of the other world could not be only like this.
Especially after receiving a few mysterious main lines.
Especially the task of the mechanic goddess in it, and the task hint is also written.
'The goddess of mechanics is an artificial god created by humans in ancient times to rebel against the gods. ’
At that time, Wang Xiao realized that the ancient period was an era with a longer history in the other world, but Wang Xiao didn't know how far away.
And Wang Xiao at that time thought that the ancient period was just a general term.
After all, there is no relevant history.
This time, Selion said that he wanted to explore the ancient ruins, and Wang Xiao once thought that 'antiquity' was a general term, and he felt that the mission of the goddess of mechanics might be related to this kind of ruins, so he participated in this mission.
Otherwise, he who just knew what was going to happen in this world, he would definitely go to find a place to level up in case of trouble.
But unexpectedly, all of a sudden, I learned the meaning of the word 'antiquity' from the mouth of an elf who could be regarded as completely unknown.
Antiquity is the abbreviation of an era, and the antiquity period is a period of 10,000 years ago.
Judging from Wang Xiao's understanding after the crossing, what happened in the past thousand years is very little known to human beings.
Not to mention 10,000 years ago.
"Does the elf have a detailed historical record?" Wang Xiao couldn't help but ask.
"And not in detail. The elf shook his head slightly and said, "The elf clan can get a lot of information from the tree of life, but what they get is also some rough information, and the records of the times are also included in it. ”
I see.
The Tree of Life is indeed a very important thing for the elves.
At this point, Wang Xiao did not guess wrong.
"Are the relics of the ancient period dangerous?" Wang Xiao asked again.
"It should be dangerous, the information obtained from the tree of life says that the creatures of the ancient times were generally dozens of times more powerful than the creatures of the present. Elf said.
Dozens of times!
It's no wonder that this elf didn't immediately explore the ruins after discovering that the teleportation array was chaotic teleportation, but waited in place, apparently wanting to wait for more people.
When Wang Xiao didn't wait for anyone to come, he said that he could start exploring the ruins, but the elf spoke in a cautious tone.
"But you can't wait here forever. Wang Xiao said: "If we can't fight the demonic beasts we encounter next, then don't fight, go around, and give priority to finding teammates to meet, whether it's your companion or my companion." ”
As Wang Xiao said, it is pointless to wait here.
The elf could only nod slowly in the end.
"Since we are acting together now, then don't call each other humans and elves, you can call me Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao saw the elf nodding and said again.
The elf hesitated for a moment, then called out a name: "Avri." ”
After exchanging names, the two walked together towards the only passage.
……
Wang Xiao got some information from Avri.
The first is the division of eras.
The elven record of history is collectively called the continental calendar, and the elven tribe calls the current time the year 998 of the continental calendar.
The 0th year of the continental calendar is the opening of the Sky Sword Saint era, and the 200th year of the continental calendar is the end of the Sky Sword Saint era.
In the same way, the 500th year of the continental calendar is the beginning of the overlord era, and the 700th year of the continental calendar is the end of the overlord era.
In the period before the 0th year of the continental calendar, all relevant records were destroyed.
The only thing that has been recorded is the Elven Tree of Life.
But the account is very sketchy.
The continental calendar - 4000 years, known as the Middle Ages, that is, 5,000 years ago.
The continental calendar - 9,000 years, known as the Antiquity period, that is, 10,000 years ago.
The year 19,000 is known as the ancient period, that is, 20,000 years ago.
Even before that, there was no record of the Tree of Life.
It was at this time that Wang Xiao learned that the so-called ancient period in the mission of the goddess of mechanics refers to the period 20,000 years ago.
So it seems that this relic left by the 10,000-year-old ancient period should not have anything to do with the mission of the goddess of mechanics.
However, this ancient relic itself triggers the main quest, and there is a penalty for failing to complete it......
Then there's race.
Humans and elves are the only two races that have existed since ancient times, and the rest, like orcs and dragons, have gradually appeared later.
Even the dragons are a new race that only appeared in the Middle Ages, which means that the dragons are less than 5,000 years old, and even the orcs have a longer history than the dragons.
Moreover, after the dragons, no other new races appeared.
In this regard, Wang Xiao sighed.
……
It had been an hour since Wang Xiao and Avri began to explore the ruins.
In this hour, the two of them encountered the group of demonic beasts twice, and they did not encounter a lone demonic beast at all.
The first time was 1 four-star high-level demonic beast, 3 four-star intermediate-level demonic beasts, and 5 four-star low-level demonic beasts.
The second time was 2 four-star high-level demonic beasts, 5 four-star intermediate demonic beasts, and 8 four-star low-level demonic beasts.
Both of these monsters were blocked in the ruins passage.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Xiao and Avri could both use the dimensional leap to jump over the Warcraft group, I am afraid that when they encountered the first Warcraft group, they would not be able to move forward.
And for the duration of the hour, there was only one passage in the ruins.
But now, things have changed.
After jumping over the second horde of Warcraft with a dimensional leap, the two walked along the passage for another ten minutes.
Then, a fork in the road appeared in front of the passage.
In addition to the front, there are passages on the left and right.
"Wait, Avri. Wang Xiao stopped Eriva, who was about to move forward.
Avri paused when she heard this, and wondered, "There is no difference between these three channels in my perceptual range. ”
"Wait, let me think. Wang Xiao waved his hand and said.
Avri didn't know why, but she didn't bother.
Wang Xiao didn't have a map of the ruins, so of course it was just an excuse to think about it.
He first glanced at the quest, and his exploration progress went from 0.22% to 0.33%.
Wang Xiao frowned secretly, walked through the passage for an hour, and the exploration progress only increased by 0.11%.
After not paying attention to the progress of the task, Wang Xiao used analysis on himself.
The analysis inherited the vision of the Eagle Eye Technique, and the vision of a radius of five hundred meters appeared in Wang Xiao's mind.
Wang Xiao has tried before, and theoretically speaking, it should be the analysis of the top-down field of view, and the information on the other side of the wall cannot be obtained.
Of course, Wang Xiao, who can penetrate some objects, has also tried, but he can't penetrate the walls either.
This time, unlike the previous attempt, Wang Xiao was given the situation that the three passages were not separated by the wall within 500 meters each.
However, there is no useful information, and in the analysis, it is just three channels in different directions.
This time, Wang Xiao really could only think about it.
After thinking for a while, Wang Xiao spoke: "Let's choose the passage on the right." ”
I thought that Avri would ask, but Wang Xiao also thought of a statement.
But Avri just nodded, and then walked towards the passage to the right, not asking anything.
Perhaps in Avri's opinion, there really is no difference between the three routes.
So Wang Xiao could only swallow back the prepared statement.
An hour later, he used the dimensional leap to skip two waves of Warcraft.
Then, another 'crossroads' appeared in front of the two of them.
Wang Xiao continued to choose the right, and Avri didn't ask either.
After going through this four times, the fifth fork in the road that appeared in front of the two of them changed from the first three on the left and right to two on the left and right.
After Wang Xiao and Avri glanced at each other, they chose the right side again.
This time, the two walked straight for more than twenty minutes, and they didn't encounter a group of monsters during this time.
Then what appeared at the end of the line of sight of the two was finally no longer the wall.
So the two quickened their pace.
PS1: What Wang Xiao wanted to say but didn't say was 'The best way to get out of the maze is to keep walking along the wall on the right'.
PS2: Although there is only one passage, it doesn't go straight all the time, so don't feel like the protagonist is going in circles.
