All members of the immediate team immediately gathered at the north gate. ’

Lin Ze suddenly felt a shock to the nameplate in his pocket, and when he picked it up, he saw this message.

He pondered for a moment, only to remember that today was the 31st day of entering the assessment dungeon, which happened to be a monthly exploration day in the core area.

"I didn't expect it to be 30 days. Lin Ze shook his head with emotion.

In the past 30 days, he has been earning merit promotion sequences, but unfortunately he has only been promoted to Sequence 4 deputy team assistant so far, this promotion speed is like a rocket for the dungeon natives, but as far as he is concerned, it is still not enough.

After all, the most critical existence of the customs clearance assessment copy, the disaster beast, he has not even seen it so far, let alone contact.

Fortunately, I was able to see it for myself today.

Putting away the nameplate, Lin Ze left the room resolutely and hurried towards the north door.

After being promoted to assistant team, the clothes on his body had been changed into high-level uniforms exclusive to the high order, and the guardians he met along the way stopped one after another, greeted him respectfully, and cast curious glances at the new star who had recently become famous throughout the White Palace.

Because he was in a hurry, Lin Ze couldn't respond one by one, he only bowed his head slightly, and in the end, he simply sped up and jumped forward like lightning, and the people along the way only felt that their eyes flashed, and an afterimage had passed by, and they couldn't see who it was at all.

In less than two minutes, Lin Ze passed through the north gate.

As always, Luo was already waiting outside the north gate, with his back to him quietly looking at the black and white satellite city in the distance.

Lin Ze looked around and found that there was no one present except for himself and Luo, and he was still the second to arrive.

"Captain. ”

Luo turned his head and said calmly, "You're here." ”

Lin Ze shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Are we going on a core exploration mission today?"

"That's right. Luo bowed his head slightly, "Go to Satellite City Three." ”

After a pause, she added, "It's your first time entering the core, remember not to be surprised if you see anything inside, and don't be more than 100 meters away from your companions." ”

Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask why he couldn't be separated by more than 100 meters, but he heard the sound of breaking the air behind him, and when he looked back, Yaoguang and the others had already arrived, and they swept in front of him in an instant.

"I was preempted by Lin Ze again, and the captain doesn't care, why is it that you are the second to arrive every time, obviously I left immediately when I received the notice. When a team member saw Lin Ze, he immediately scratched his head and said.

Yaoguang laughed and said, "That's because Lin Ze's strength is stronger than you." ”

Many team members smiled when they heard this.

In the past month, Lin Ze's strength has won their recognition and respect, although he is still the deputy assistant, but everyone has faintly regarded him as the number two person below the captain.

"Everyone is here, let's go. Luo interrupted everyone's laughter, "Destination Satellite City No. 3." ”

Everyone suddenly looked solemn, nodded yes one after another, and followed Luo towards the third satellite city.

During this time, Lin Ze followed his direct team to the No. 3 Satellite City to perform tasks, and he was already familiar with the road here, and after arriving at the destination, he consciously came to the front of the team, slightly behind Luo.

It wasn't until Luo Shi unleashed his giant longsword enchantment and escorted the team through the outer ring area that he reached the inner ring that he broke out of the enchantment and killed the high-level Darkspawn who was blocking his way.

About twenty minutes later, everyone was standing in front of the junction, and more than ten meters in front of them was the core, a dark area so deep and dark that it seemed to engulf all the surrounding lights.

"Be prepared and don't fall behind. ”

Luo's gaze swept over everyone, focusing on Lin Ze and paused for a moment, and commanded in a solemn tone.

As soon as the words fell, he was the first to step into the darkness, and his petite figure disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

And the rest followed.

The moment he crossed the junction, Lin Ze only felt that his eyes were dark, as if he had passed through a layer of foam, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was in a strange space.

As far as the eye could see, there was no boundless darkness, and there was no light, as if the whole world was swallowed up by darkness.

However, to Lin Ze's surprise, there was no light, but he could clearly see the figures of everyone in the team, and this contradictory visual feeling made him feel awkward.

"It's peculiar. ”

Yaoguang walked to Lin Ze's side and said in a condensed voice, "The light reflection here is very special, within a hundred meters, except for the environment is dark, we can clearly see ourselves, and any attacks we send out, but once we are more than a hundred meters away, we can't see anything." ”

"So remember to keep up with the captain, only the captain has the means to get in and out of the core, once you are separated from the captain too far and can't be found, you will be stuck here forever!"

Lin Ze nodded, secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect it to be so special in the core area.

At this time, he suddenly realized why Luo would not tell him not to be separated from his companion for more than 100 meters, once he exceeded this distance, he would lose his companion's figure, and in this kind of environment where he could not even distinguish up and down, left and right, and only saw darkness, it was almost impossible to find his companion again.

"Let's go. ”

Luo's calm voice came from the front, strangely with a sense of calm, and everyone in the team quickly calmed down and walked forward behind Luo.

Lin Ze looked around, pondered for a moment, and asked in a low voice to Yaoguang, "What are we going to do next?"

"Look for the plague beast. ”

Lin Ze was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted.

I can't see the beast if I dare to love it for more than 100 meters.

Isn't the so-called search almost like luck, can you really find the disaster beast by this method?

As if sensing Lin Ze's thoughts, Yaoguang explained softly: "The core area is the territory of the Calamity Beast, and all outsiders who enter here will unconsciously move closer to its location, which can be regarded as a special rule here." ”

Lin Ze was stunned.

Yaoguang continued: "The calamity beast usually wakes up every other month, and our task is to go deep into the core area, find the calamity beast to fight with it, and let it vent its excess energy, otherwise this guy will can't help but run out of the core area and return to the inner and outer rings to stir up the wind and rain, and maybe gather a large number of dark descendants to attack the Daylight Palace." ”

"Something similar has happened before?" Lin Ze asked.

"More than once. Yaoguang shook his head, "It was only later that we gradually figured out the pattern. ”

Lin Ze nodded solemnly, this simple sentence contained no idea how much of the blood and lives of the guardians were contained in it.

At this time, his expression suddenly moved, and he looked up as if he had a feeling, and saw that there was a blue-gray arm in the darkness about a hundred meters in front of him.

The arms are about three meters long, including the palms and part of the elbows, and the skin is rough and dry, and the obesity is abnormal, giving people a fat feeling.

In front of the team, Luo paused slightly, raised his hand and made a gesture, signaling everyone to prepare for battle, and then walked forward cautiously again.

Lin Ze and the others also slowed down their steps and cautiously approached the arm.

As the distance closes, it is as if an invisible paintbrush is drawing in the darkness, gradually revealing the part behind the arm, first the arm, then the shoulder, then the feet, the torso, and finally the other arm and head.

A moment later, a huge monster that was twenty meters tall, round and gray, looked like a giant potato with a head and limbs.

Lin Ze stared intently at the monster in front of him, and his breathing couldn't help but stagnate slightly.

The appearance of this meat ball monster looks funny, but he doesn't have this feeling in his heart, when his eyes fall on the other party, he only feels a primitive ferocity and cruelty rushing towards him, and a cold air suddenly rises on his back, almost making him unable to hold it and directly turning into a rising sun dragon.

Fortunately, Lin Ze was not a rookie who had just experienced the battle after all, so he held back the throbbing in his heart at the first time, took a deep breath, and quickly regained his composure on his face.

Several nearby team members have been paying attention to his performance, and they can't help but secretly marvel when they see this.

Yaoguang patted Lin Ze on the shoulder, lowered his voice and exclaimed: "Your heart and perseverance are really powerful, when I first saw the disaster beast, I was so shocked that I directly attacked with all my strength, if the captain hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid I would have gone straight to the disaster beast to kill." ”

When the rest of the team heard this, a look of apprehension flashed across their faces, apparently they had had the same experience.

Lin Ze glanced at Luo when he heard this, and happened to see her facing him, and took back his footsteps that stepped forward slightly, and his heart was clear.

After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "In that case, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"It's useless to say this kind of thing in advance, you can only understand it if you experience it yourself, not to mention that only by doing this can you test your heart to the greatest extent and decide how to arrange your position in the next battle. Yaoguang spread his hands out.

Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, listening to Yaoguang's meaning, it seems that he will encounter a similar situation in the battle with the disaster beast?

However, there was no time to inquire in detail at this time, and as the direct team approached within thirty meters, the mountain-like meat ball monster seemed to finally sense their arrival and turned around slowly.

The eyes and nose of the beast were so fat that it was almost invisible, except for a large mouth full of fangs, which was particularly eye-catching, occupying almost a third of its face.

His eyes fell on the people in his direct squad, and the disaster beast paused slightly, and then suddenly opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, moved its body with difficulty, and rushed towards them like a chariot charge with heavy steps.

"Prepare for battle and keep an eye on the distance between each other!"

Luo's calm and powerful calm voice sounded in his ears, Lin Ze looked up, and saw that a huge translucent long sword had condensed four or five meters above the girl's head, and with the swing of her palm forward, the giant sword roared out, and the piercing sound of breaking the air tore through the silence around it, and stabbed at the disaster beast with the air waves.

Judging by the Scourge Beast's bloated size and sluggish movements, it was extremely agile and unable to dodge Cairo's attacks.

In fact, the calamity beast had no intention of dodging, and rushed directly towards the giant sword, allowing the giant sword to hit its chest like a cannonball, exploding countless blue and gray flesh and blood, and blood splattered.

In an instant, there was a huge gap in its chest.

Then the blood from the wound stopped flowing out in the next second, and the blue-gray flesh wriggled violently, rapidly proliferating and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few seconds, the wound on the beast's chest was repaired and restored to its original state.

Lin Ze couldn't help but take a breath gently, this recovery ability is too perverted.

Yaoguang and the others were accustomed to it, and they launched an attack without changing their faces.

For a moment, the dark space lit up with a multicolored light, and countless energy attacks overwhelmingly attacked the calamity beast, almost drowning it.

Since it was not a battle of life and death, Lin Ze did not intend to cast the Rising Sun Flame Dragon, so he only condensed the Red Lotus Armor and the Golden Blade, and also pounced forward.

The blazing blade condensed by the fire of the red lotus slashed at the small foot of the calamity, but only an inch-deep scorched black wound was left, and the blood inside was instantly evaporated, but within a few seconds, new blood gushed out, and the charred waste meat was squeezed out of the wound and fell off the ground, while the new flesh and blood quickly filled the wound, and the injury on the little foot was instantly healed.

This scene made Lin Ze secretly amazed.

On the other hand, others were facing the same situation, no matter how serious the injuries inflicted on the Plague Beast, they would be healed in the blink of an eye.

Luo's injuries still have some effect, the wounds she caused are deeper and heavier, and the recovery is naturally slower.

It is precisely because of this that the disaster beast among all the people hates Luo very much, and ignores the others, only chasing her to attack.

It's a pity that the calamity beast's movements are too slow, and it can't catch up with Luo's actions at all, so it can only let out a futile roar.

On the other hand, everyone was helpless against the plague beast.

More than ten minutes later, seeing that several members of the team had tired faces on their faces, Luo said in a condensed voice: "Okay, that's it, we're ready to retreat." ”

Everyone responded with a bang, and they all pulled back, no longer entangled with the disaster beast.

Seeing the enemy retreating, the disaster beast pursued and killed relentlessly, but because the speed was not as fast as the people in the direct squad, it was quickly thrown away a hundred meters in a flash, and the huge figure was quickly engulfed by the darkness, and even the roar disappeared in an instant.

After running wildly for a distance, everyone stopped and turned their eyes to Luo.

Luo stood motionless, as if contemplating something.

After a moment, her body suddenly trembled slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in her usually calm voice.

"The exit can't be opened!"

Yaoguang and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and after coming back to their senses, they all showed a look of confusion and panic.

"Why can't it be opened?"

"What's going on?"

"Captain, try again!"

It's the first time they've encountered such a thing as not being able to open the exit, which will inevitably make them panic.

At this time, Lin Ze's expression suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look behind him suddenly.

A hundred meters away in the darkness, a blue-gray arm was revealed.
