“...... Is this really the case? ”

"Damn, you don't believe my brother, ah-I've been hurt physically and mentally......"

"It's not that I don't believe you, don't you do less of this kind of thing?"

At the foot of Falling Star Mountain, next to the Stone Formation, a team of several players, like the rest of the team, had just set off towards the mountain. www.biquge.info One of the men, who was fully armored and looked like their captain, was hurrying along the way and asked a few other people.

What do you say...... Mi Zitou and I are both honest people, okay, how can we easily do something unkind? Even if we don't think about ourselves, we have to think about the other brothers and our guild......"

"Alright, alright, alright." The man walking in front hurriedly waved his hand, and then turned his national face back: "Anyway, it's up to me to wipe my ass in the end...... Who are they this time, are there any powerful characters or something? ”

"Well, the light in that cave was too dim and things were happening too fast, so I didn't even see it clearly." Another swordsman who walked behind continued: "But their team seems to be only three people, two men and one woman, the skills and equipment are very good, and the level should be very high......"

"I just don't know if they're still in that hole." The swordsman who spoke earlier had a fierce face: "Last time I stole ...... Uh, no, it was a sneak attack, so we were defeated, and this time our strongest team of Dawn Glory has finally gathered, I don't believe it......"

He pulled out his thin sword and played a sword flower in the air: "I can't find the field!" ”

"Come on, you, the strongest team ......" The first to stand up and dismantle the platform was the tall man in armor: "There are people in our guild who are stronger than you, and any one of them will not die like you, hmph, four fights and three ......"

"If you are allowed to represent our guild, it is estimated that the president will be angry to death."

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Maybe it was because of their friendship, and the rest of the team all chuckled for a while, and took what they just said as a joke. The player who played with the sword flower put away his weapon with some embarrassment, and continued to sketch out his revenge blueprint: "As soon as we find that hole, we will go in separately, and whoever finds it will not be silent, I will personally slaughter the black-armored man......"

"Are you sure you can find them?" The rice word on the side interjected again: "It's been so long, even if there is really something in it, I guess they've finished it, right?" ”

"How is it possible, we have been there for days, how can they have such good luck......"

"Don't compare luck with others easily, in case their character explodes, our old blood will have to be vomited, and ......" The man paused: "Don't forget the strength they showed, and the place where they appeared, if they say that they have no preparations and clues, I won't believe it." ”

“...... So what to do, do you want to guard the entrance of the passage? ”

"Those people must have come to Falling Star Mountain for a purpose, right? The level and equipment are so high, I want to ...... They probably came to climb the mountain. ”

"Nonsense, aren't we all mountain climbers......" The resolute man walking in front spat out, and then suddenly paused: "Huh? ”

"What do you mean...... Are they going to climb the Falling Star Mountain? ”

"That's what I guessed." On the side, he spread his hands with the stopped rice word: "Otherwise, what are these masters doing here...... What kind of ruin's news, only fools and rookies would believe it, right? ”

"Huh." The man in the lead waved his arm, then crossed his waist and asked, "Then how do we find them?" Shall we climb up too, you must know ......"

No one can climb the Falling Star Mountain at this stage - this is a truth that many players who have tried it have summed up, and those who are there are not newbies, so they have heard this phrase, and some of them have even tried it.

"I know, I know, you listen to me first." Mi Zitou smoothed his messy hair, and then looked ahead of the mountain road: "If they want to climb the mountain, they must pass through that fog, right?" ”

"Presumably, no one has found a second way up the mountain until now......"

"And no one has ever gone further than that fog." "Even if it's a master, they have to at least start from that place, so ...... It's possible that they're still stuck in that place, right? ”

"Uh, that makes sense...... the armored man nodded, "You mean we're going to go there, stop them?" ”

"Yes, those people are so strong, even if they can't get through the fog, they probably can go back, right? We'll wait there then, and kill them by surprise......"

"Hahahaha!" The night scales on the other side suddenly laughed: "Are you embarrassed to talk about me? Didn't you learn badly......"

"This is called strategy, do you understand strategy?" Mi Zitou argued: "And if we want to meet them, there is only one way, or do you have to bet on the slightest possibility...... Are they still fainting in that cave and not coming out? ”

“...... Okay, okay, that's it. Seeing that the other members, including Nightscale, had no words to refute for the time being, the man, who was the temporary rescuer and captain, took the lead in speaking: "Let's climb up, and then wait in that place for a while, if we can't touch it, forget it, if we do...... We'll meet them. ”

He slapped the shield on his back a few times, and said with some expectation, "If it weren't for the gods you described them as godlike, I wouldn't have come here to wade into this troubled water......"

"Yes, yes, we all know that Brother Tie is a benevolent and righteous person, and he will not shirk the knife for his brother......"

"Stop! Don't come to this set, let's go quickly, if everyone is gone in a while, don't blame me if you can't find anyone, the time is all delayed by you......"

"Maybe they'd already died in the fog...... I don't believe anyone can really get through that weird fog. ”

"Do you think everyone has the same dish as you?"

"Aren't you coming back to find a field? Okay, okay, I won't speak until I beat them, let's speak with strength then, okay? I've already figured out how to beat that guy all the way, and I'm going to try it later......"

On the sparsely populated road up the mountain, five people set off noisily.

****************

According to the usual practice, there must be some traps and traps to protect a place like this, but Duan Qing and the others walked cautiously all the way, but they still did not encounter any dangers worthy of vigilance - they had not even maintained this vigilance for long before they had already reached the end of the road.

Then, they were completely captivated by the sight of the place.

The wide hall and smooth rock walls are not very irregularly polished, but the large cavern that appears at the end of the road gives those who see it a feeling of relaxation. The light of the torches did not even give them a full view of the end of the hall, only a few steps further on, and the two rows of stone pillars that followed the path they had walked to this place spread out in the hall completely, and arranged in a regular direction to the end of the hall.

In that place, a huge boxy platform lay silently, its dark rock material and unfancy surface, as if to tell those who saw it of its composure and heaviness.

"This ......" Nan Tieshan, who was holding a torch, was the first to speak: "What ...... is this?" ”

"It seems to be a platform." Duan Qing, who stepped forward, half-knelt on the ground, reached out and touched the surface of the pitch-black platform: "Or is it an altar?" A circle? ”

He looked back at the others, and unexpectedly received a bunch of "I don't know" expressions.

"Until we know what this thing is for, let's not act rashly." Xue Lingxue looked around at the row of stone pillars surrounding the platform, and quietly looked at the face of the young man of the Norsr tribe who was already dull, and shook his head secretly: "So I suggest ......"

She looked into the darkness in the other direction of the cavern, "Let's split up and see if there are any other clues." ”

"Agreed." Nan Tieshan finally suppressed his excitement and took a deep breath: "We only have four...... Well, three people, it's better to find it separately. Do you need torches, I have two more ...... here?"

Duan Qing silently took out a torch that had been drawn before the fire at the entrance of the cave was about to burn out, and the woman in the black cloak ...... He had already taken out his own glowing rain white stone and walked to the side by himself.

"......Shh

The poor man had no choice but to choose a direction by himself: "Ahh ”

"What's wrong, big brother?" Duan Qing, who had already walked out, turned around and asked.

"It's okay, maybe someone is scolding me behind my back......"

He rubbed his nose and walked in the direction he had come from—the two men scattered left and right, and he had to choose the direction behind him.

Sure enough, there were still things around the cave hall, but Duan Qing, who had checked it, reluctantly found that these things similar to stone statues and carvings seemed to be just some decorations, and had no actual use. Some of the sculptures also appear to have collapsed due to the erosion of age, leaving behind an empty base and rubble all over the floor. Duan Qing squatted down and picked up a stone, wanting to find something under the light of the torch, but he didn't see it for a long time.

"No matter how you look at it, it's an ordinary stone......" He checked it over and over for a while, and finally reluctantly threw it back to its place, "Is this the same material as those stone pillars?" ”

"I'm sorry." Suddenly, a voice came from behind him. Duan Qing turned around and found that the young man from the Norsr tribe was standing behind him with his head bowed, looking ashamed that he didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong with our scholars? Don't be so discouraged. Duan Qing patted his arm a little funny, and then put away his smile: "It's okay, don't we adventurers also recognize anything?" You're a young man who just debuted......"

"I, but I...... I'm not even ...... I don't know how to use the stone pillars, and I don't know how to cause a 'miracle'......"

"Maybe you feel sorry somewhere, but ......" Duan Qing squatted down and looked up at the face of the young man whose chin was about to poke into his chest: "We don't think there's anything wrong here, that's enough." ”

"No one is born strong, and no one is ...... Born omniscient. ”

"As a Norsr, you may not be very qualified, but you have taken the first step on the path of adventurers, which is worthy of recognition, and the most favorite thing adventurers do is to take care of newcomers. ”

"We'll help you."

The young man looked at Duan Qing with some confusion: "I'm ...... Can you be an adventurer? ”

"Yes, yes!" Duan Qing had an expression of "you have finally come to your senses": "That's it!" Don't think about the holy places of the Nors, the sacred shadows or anything, explore the unknown like an adventurer, discover the secrets, and ...... Harvest what you deserve! ”

"As soon as I came over, I heard you fooling people."

A female voice suddenly came from the other side, and the two people turned their heads to look, only to see that the woman surrounded by milky white light had already walked in front of them: "Don't blow it, come and see, there is a discovery." ”

"But I haven't finished checking the statue here." Duan Qing scratched his head and said, "What if there's something strange hiding here......"

"No in case." The woman had already turned: "It's just a pile of broken stones, and if you want, I have a pile over there." ”

So Duan Qing had no choice but to follow honestly.

The three of them walked to the previous blackstone platform, and then, under the woman's instructions, went around the place and came to the wall behind the platform. Somewhere on the side of that wall, a wooden stick with only a short head sticking out of the rock wall, I don't know what it was for.

"There's some debris on the ground." Nan Tieshan, who had been waiting there for a long time, saw several people approaching, and slowly stood up from a squatting posture: "It should have been there before this thing, and now it has rotted." ”

What does this mean? There used to be a wooden shelf fixed here? ”

"I don't know, but nothing like it seems to be found anywhere else......"

"I think it's like a chieftain's weapon, and then he stabbed a spear into here on a certain day, a certain month, and a certain year, and so on, to vent his blood......"

"Then this chief's martial arts are really strong, there are not even cracks around this wall, only bullets can hit such an effect......"

"Maybe it's just the wreckage of an ornament, or a flag, or an ornament. Not...... Could it be a broken arrow? ”

"Well...... It's a hidden switch. ”

"Maybe." Duan Qing, who stepped forward, reached out and touched the wooden stick, and after finding nothing abnormal, he grabbed the tip of the wooden stick with one hand: "Then ...... now?"

"What should I do with this stick?"

He pulled hard.

With the sound of wood chips cracking, the sticks turned into debris in his hands, slowly floating on the ground.

"Uh......" Duan Qing waved his hand awkwardly: "No, no, no, don't blame me......"

"Hey, you broke it!"

"You don't blame me, this wooden stick must be too fragile to look good......"

"But you tried your best."

"Oh, how did I know this was going to happen, you would have done it anyway, right? Isn't that right, Yat, help me say a few words. ”

"That, that...... Don't worry, I won't just touch it. ”

"Not for you to say this!"

"Hahahaha......"

Several people quarreled for a long time, and finally Xue Lingphantom Ice ended the fight: "What do I think...... Where have I seen this ......"

"What?"

"Look." She pointed to the small hole left by the broken wooden stick: "Isn't it very similar?" ”

"Oh-" In the puzzled eyes of the others, Duan Qing suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "You mean that ...... at that time"

"When?" Nan Tieshan was still puzzled.

"That's the time." Xue Lingphantasm took out her long sword, and it seemed that she didn't want to talk any more. As she moved, the sword stabbed into the small hole with a single thud.

"I remember!"

At the shouts of Nantie Mountain, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice twisted the hilt of the longsword again, as before—and after a buzzing roar, there was finally movement on the platform behind them.

There seemed to be a flash of light on the surface of the black platform, and then as it vibrate, the entire cavern began to roar.
