1308 Troops
The sound of footsteps dragging the rocks gradually appeared from the opposite side of the wall in front of several people, and fell into the ears of Duan Qing and the others through the cracks in the wall, and the crackling sound of the torches also appeared in the dark depths on the other side of the wall at this time with the posture of countless players who were illuminated, and the appearance of gradually walking did not seem to want to deliberately conceal their whereabouts: "Is this the direction?"
"I definitely heard it right, there was someone's voice here just now, why is there no way?"
"Maybe it's because of the earthquake that the passage here has been blocked, after all, we have encountered a lot of places that don't match the map before we came-"
"There were also many monsters that we had never encountered before! It's definitely a new adventure mecca! β
The sound of excitement then quickly came out in the depths of the passage, and the team composed of several players suddenly passed in front of Duan Qing's eyes, and they didn't notice anything unusual, and then they also ran across the other side of the horizontal space with their respective torches, and looked up and down over the surface of the wall full of cracks: "Look at this structure!" Look at this pattern! Have any of you seen anything like this anywhere else? This definitely represents a new civilization! β
"It's over, Lao Liu fell into excitement as soon as he encountered this kind of thing, so it's better for us to leave him alone...... Hmm, what is it? β
"There are still traces of dampness in the crevices, so I guess the previous floods have ravaged this place. What, what problems did you find? β
"There seems to be movement in this, it should be the sound of water, and there are other sounds......"
Duan Qing, who urgently leaned his body to the side to avoid himself from staring at the player on the other side of the wall, then also held his breath, and the gradually tense atmosphere gradually diffused on both sides of the wall over time, and finally was torn apart with the exclamation of a player from nowhere: "Look! There's a new pathway here! And it's downward! β
"Sooner or later, we will all be scared to death by you, the sixth child! Can you be softer next time you shout? What if someone is nearby? β
"How can anyone be faster than us? Rest assured, that entrance was something we had only discovered with great difficulty, and absolutely no one would be able to walk in before us. β
"The last time you were in the ruins of Taloa, I remember you saying the same thing, and as a result- hmph, let's be careful, even if there are no players to become our competitors, the monsters here are more difficult to deal with."
The sound of footsteps faded away with the sound of conversation, and slowly disappeared into the depths of the space on the other side of Duan Qing, and Duan Qing and the others, who were holding their breath tightly, let go of their respective hands covering their mouths at this time, and then gasped: "Whew, whew, whew, whew...... What's going on? Why have players already found this place? β
"The whole city has been destroyed like this, and it is probably only a matter of time before this hidden area is discovered." Letting go of his grip on the hilt of the gun, Xue Ling's voice was full of wheezing: "It's just that the progress of these players going deep into the ground is a little faster than I imagined. β
"After all, they are all greedy adventurers, and they can do anything for treasure and loot." Asahi Dongsheng then waved his hand meaninglessly: "If I found out that there is a large adventure area under Tania, I will also bring someone to break in." β
"New maps, new elements, new mutations, and new civilizations." With a snap of his fingers, Duan Qing sighed and looked around him: "Just like the Violet Tower before, this place has probably evolved into a brand new dungeon area after the Great War, plus those mutated monsters-"
"They're probably affected by the energy blast from before, right?"
The words were said in a low voice, and Gedmayne, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly said: "The attack power has increased, the defense power has decreased, the reason has been completely lost, and the number has become incalculable...... What's the difference between this and a monster's lair? β
"Judging by the red light coming from their eyes, it should be like this." Duan Qing also nodded his head: "Otherwise, judging from the strength of the monsters we encountered before, this map is probably not suitable for a large number of players to come and explore." β
"You mean to say that this place has been adjusted by the system into an area suitable for the majority of players to come and fight monsters and upgrade?" Looking around at his left and right, there was a bit of surprise in Asahi Dongsheng's voice: "Increase the number and remove the hardness of the scales' defenses at the same time - is the current system so smart?" β
"The system will adjust this similar environment in the direction that players can fight monsters and upgrade, and we have seen this situation many times." Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side also said in a timely manner: "But who will provide the reward for fighting monsters?" β
"It's true that ordinary monsters don't have any drops, because this is a unique setting for the pursuit of a real free world system, and the rewards of the dungeon should have been calculated and redeemed by a certain force, but unfortunately the entire principality is now paralyzed, and it is impossible to bear this responsibility." Duan Qing also pinched his chin: "But there are still things like monster teeth or monster fur, which can be used as materials for crafting weapons or equipment, like these dragon monsters...... Not. β
"They've used weapons before?"
As if remembering a certain scene that had happened in front of him, Duan Qing turned his gaze to the faces of others: "Where did they get it from?" β
"How do I know, maybe it's given by the system." Asahi shrugged his shoulders: "According to the usual style of the free world, they will most likely set up a place like an arsenal and be discovered by monsters......"
"It's also possible that it was caused by the previous war." Xue Lingxue frowned and continued: "At that time, the underground battlefield was very chaotic, and there may be players who accidentally lost their equipment and were picked up by these monsters. β
"Unless the player voluntarily discards it, normal equipment will not drop from the player at will." Duan Qing shook his head: "Of course, there are some special exceptions, such as when Lao Tzu accidentally fell into the furnace...... That's right. β
"Have any of you seen my magician disc?"
Tilting his head, Duan Qing set his eyes on the rest of his teammates: "At that time, I didn't find that ancient relic in my options, it should have been excluded from the fusion range because the level was too high, but I didn't find that thing in my inventory later, I should have accidentally thrown it to the ground when I fell down for the first time......"
"Have any of you ever picked up that thing?"
"When, of course not."
Facing Duan Qing's seemingly casual question, Asahi Dongsheng, who was the first to speak, then shook his hands: "How is it possible?" We don't know what you've lost......"
"You didn't notice either? That's it. Glancing at the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice that lowered his head next to him, Duan Qing then retracted his searching gaze: "Let's look for it when we find it underground, anyway, ordinary people won't use that thing if they pick it up...... What are you going to do? β
"What to do?"
"Of course how did you get out of this place?"
Facing the puzzled expressions of Asahi Dongsheng and Gedemaien who were handed back together, Duan Qing asked helplessly: "The normal paths of the safety well are all at the bottom, and Ling Bing also went down to verify it just now, the two of you are heavy armored warriors, and you can't swim with hundreds of pounds of weapons and equipment." β
"And you've got wounds on your body." He pointed in the direction where Gedmayne was, "You two can't be left here, let's move on, right?" β
"This ......"
He glanced at each other with Gedmayne, who was half-sitting on the ground, and reached out to wipe the cold sweat that had just oozed from his forehead: "This road doesn't work, there will always be other ways to go, and we can climb back if it's really not possible." β
"Is there any way to get rid of the load?" Gedmane gasped and asked, "Putting it in the package doesn't work, the total weight won't change, or do you have any levitation or lightening techniques?" β
"That kind of magic just works between the human body and the air, and the weight can't be stolen." Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "There are spells in the magic system that can help people perform useful spells, but except for the underwater breathing technique, I have never been exposed to other related spells. β
"Forget it, if it really doesn't work, we'll break through the wall!" Turning around and patting the wall behind him, Asahi Dongsheng grinned: "I think the whereabouts of that team just now are very good, we can follow them, and then find a chance to rob them-"
Poof.
The sound of falling into the water then came from the ears of several people, accompanied by the last white figure of the snow spirit phantom ice that had disappeared in front of him, only left above the water, looking at the long white hair that disappeared under the water, Duan Qing had to open his mouth, and the action of wanting to speak was then replaced by a wry smile from Gedmane: "You guys go first." β
"How's that going to work? That guy must have accidentally fallenβ"
"My serious injury is indeed a liability."
interrupting Duan Qing's defense, Gedmayne, who was sitting on the ground, then waved his hand in the direction where Duan Qing was: "No matter which way you go, it's not a good way to take me, you just leave me in this place, and then find a way to inform me when the situation outside is safe." β
"The regimental commander's decision was quite wise and decisive." He pointed to the pond in front of him, and his expression became relieved: "Go ahead, don't let the head of the regiment wait for a long time, in case there is any danger-"
"I'm going to call her back."
With a strong breath, Duan Qing, who no longer spoke, then turned around and jumped into this improvised well, and the endless darkness then invaded Duan Qing's senses along with the cold feeling, and his downward body continued to sink deeper and deeper. Groping for the changes in the water flow around him, the gray-robed magician then quickly found the passage mouth mentioned by the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice before, and then his swimming body with all his strength suddenly appeared in the light that appeared at the end of the passage for a long time, and the white figure was dimly included in his eyes: "Ha, ha, ha...... It's a long enough waterway. β
"Why did you run away alone!" He walked in the direction of the motionless back, wiping the water droplets that kept dripping from his head: "This doesn't look like your style of leading a team." β
"Because I did it on purpose." Staring closely at the movement ahead, Xue Ling's phantom ice voice leaning against the wall at the edge of the passage replied in a low voice, "Since you think there is something wrong with those two people, then let's just act separately." β
"I think there's a problem?" Duan Qing, who was stunned, then pointed to his nose and asked, "Where do I think there is something wrong with them?" β
ββ¦β¦ Yes. β
Turning her head to look at the other party's face, Xue Linghuanbing, who was silent, stopped talking, she quietly looked at the front of the passage she was waiting for for a while, and then replied in a low voice in a warning tone: "Anyway, the two of them have no way to catch up now, so you can take it as my willfulness for a while...... Be careful ahead. β
"I said-" The action of wanting to continue speaking was slightly stunned, and Duan Qing's voice became a little more alert: "Hmm, have there been players here before?" β
"On the second day of the eruption, there were already a lot of players who rushed to Tania after hearing the wind." The Snow Spirit Phantom Ice Head replied without looking back, "Even if only one in ten of these players discovers the underground world, the number of influxes will be very impressive. β
"The secrets of this underground world, no matter who is on either side, can continue to hide them." She quietly discerned the movement in front of the passage: "This is the second reason why I am in a hurry to move on: if we don't act quickly, we may not have a chance." β
"What do you want to do?"
After staring at each other for a while, Duan Qing slowly widened his eyes: "Do you mean...... There? β
"If this is really according to Redkar's palace, there must be a lot of wealth there."
With a smile on her face, Xue Lingphantasm nodded her head in satisfaction, "It's the place we once were, I still remember it in my adventurer's manual." β
"I can understand your concerns." Duan Qing unconsciously lowered his voice: "But now the terrain has changed a lot, and most of those roads are impassable. β
"That's definitely one of the obstacles that the system imposes." Nodding his head, Xue Lingphantom Ice whispered: "If the players who enter here are mixed with the Imperial people, they may be able to easily identify this place, so in order to make the treasure a real treasure, it is also the most basic operation to disrupt the map." β
"As long as there's nothing wrong with the general direction, we'll be able to find that location before anyone else." She listened to the surrounding movement for a while, and then pulled Duan Qing's arm: "Let's go." β
"This time we can't let anyone else take the lead."
