Neil is dead.

Leah struggled from her grief, and she analyzed the information she had found to Li Yi one by one.

Ten minutes later, the centaur creeps appeared outside the cage on time, and Li Yi rang the iron bar on the cage like a death knell.

Leah, who knelt down and prayed, raised her head and instructed Li Yi: "Li Li Changchang, if you have the opportunity, help me collect his body." ”

Li Yi nodded heavily in agreement.

To Li Yi's surprise, the centaur soldiers took him directly to the main camp tent, and he was greeted by a dazzling golden light.

Li Yi covered his eyes with his right hand and looked through his fingers towards the golden light, in which the phantom flickered.

"Human, we meet again." A nice radio voice came from the golden light, "Tell me, where are your comrades now?" ”

Li Yi didn't answer and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Jin Guang said suspiciously, "As a Seraphic Commander, you don't even know me?" ”

"Why should I know you?"

Jin Guangdao: "Just because I have fought with you intermittently for ten years, just by virtue of the name of Mordir Voulgas." ”

"Nobody, I haven't heard of it."

Jin Guang's tone froze, and then he smiled: "I haven't heard of it, it's not the point." I'll give you a chance, and if you tell you the whereabouts of your comrades, I can let you go. ”

"Old-fashioned."

Jin Guang smiled angrily: "Toast without eating and drinking." ”

Hearing the tone of Jin Guang's words, Li Yi only felt an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Just when Li Yi was puzzled, Jin Guang summoned a centaur soldier, who knelt in front of Jin Guang with great reverence.

Jin Guang gave instructions to the soldiers in the language of centaurs: "Take the bear with the next block, and wait for the next day to die and release the water from the west, and the thick swing will die in the pile." ”

The centaur creeps nodded again and again, and resisted Li Yi to come to the Colosseum.

Li Yi, who was in the clouds, was so rushed by the strong smell of blood in the Colosseum that he wanted to vomit, and after forcibly suppressing his nausea and nausea, he began to look at the Colosseum carefully.

When he was in a cage before, the two sisters Lydelia had more or less talked about the situation in the Colosseum, and he already had a general impression in his mind, and now that he was there, he quickly combined the concept in his mind with reality, and looked at the north gate at first glance. There were three grizzly bears locked in the gate, and as Leah had said, the red light on the grizzly bears' paws was conspicuous.

On the west side is the weapon rack, which at a glance contains three one-handed swords, a small shield, a large shield, and a horned bow. However, none of these weapons were in line with Li Yi's wishes, and what he liked was the torch next to the weapon rack.

It is natural for animals to be afraid of fire.

Li Yi symbolically took a one-handed sword, and then copied the torch in his left hand.

Everything was ready, the floodgates opened, and the grizzly bear with V-shaped white fur on his chest shook his head and walked towards Li Yi. It was the first time he had seen a moving grizzly bear, and unlike the rigid image of anatomical holographic projections, the moving behemoth would exert tremendous invisible pressure.

Li Yi's heart trembled slightly, his hand holding the sword trembled a little, and a familiar feeling came up.

That's right, that's how it felt when you killed a pig for the first time.

Three points of nervousness, six points of fear, and one point of desire.

"Come on." Li Yi cheered himself up with a low snort, and the hand holding the sword relaxed slightly, no longer shaking.

Wearing the game's ultimate armor - blue over-the-knee pants - Li Yi stood sideways, his legs slightly opened, his whole body weight sank, his left hand in front of the fire, his right hand sword at the level of his chin, and his eyes were like lightning staring at the pace of the bear monster.

The bear monster looks ferocious, but Li Yi is confident that he has a way to defeat it.

Animal dissection is not learned in vain, although the bear creature is extremely ferocious, its nose, head, eyes, ** are all weaknesses.

As long as the skill is used properly and attacks the weak points of the bear monster specifically, it is not impossible to kill it.

And the player has an advantage that NPCs don't have, healing skills.

[Healing Crest] is just a one-time consumable in the hands of NPCs, but in the palm of Li Yi's hand, it is a steady stream of vitality.

The bear monster ignored Li Yi's gaze, and it squatted on the ground three meters in front of Li Yi playing with mud.

"Don't be deceived by their casual illusions, these monsters are actually eyeing you in the first place, but they don't know your strength, so they will test you by pretending to have nothing to do. Don't be impulsive, try to stalemate with it, and drag it out until the end of the round if there is a chance of survival. ”

Leah's admonition was still in his ears, and Li Yi didn't dare to act rashly.

Time passed little by little, and the bear monster turned its head to look at Li Yi from time to time, it couldn't figure out why the human in front of him could keep a vigilant posture all the time, wasn't he tired?

Li Yi is certainly not tired, because the fatigue system of Guild Wars is not strict.

There are only three situations in the game when a player can feel tired.

One, when the stamina is exhausted.

Second, when using certain skills.

Three, when affected by the plot.

The first case has been introduced before, and the third case will be explained in detail later, and the second case will be mainly discussed here.

Any game has a skill cooldown, and Guild Wars is no exception, but this game has a somewhat unique approach, and in order to increase the player's sense of engagement, the game has a separate cooldown system for each skill.

For example, Li Weiji learned [Claw of Claw], this skill requires the player to throw the dagger in his hand, in order to ensure that the player can recover the dagger, the game cleverly implants the spring system, the spring needs 15 seconds to be wound, and these 15 seconds can be regarded as the skill cooldown time of [Claw of Claw].

Another example is the [Shield Holding Stance] that Li Yi learned, this skill blocks attacks for 3 seconds and has a cooldown of 25 seconds. In the game, it becomes a sore arm after 3 seconds of raising the shield and can no longer maintain a blocking position, and after 25 seconds, the soreness of the arm disappears, and the skill is cooled down. This may seem like a hassle, but it can be incorporated into the player's muscle memory. There's no need to rely on additional cooldown alerts, and the exhilarating feeling is self-explanatory.

Again, this is not a technical flaw, but a compromise on realism for a better gaming experience.

Most people don't like the reality that they get tired from running and jumping and swinging in games.

In front of Li Yi's motionless posture, the bear monster played with mud for more than ten minutes.

Li Yi was actually impatient in his heart, although he was not tired of standing like this, he was really bored.

"Shouldn't the centaurs be a demon in such a boring scene, why haven't they moved?"

Taking advantage of the moment when the bear monster lowered his head, Li Yi quickly turned his head to look at the east wall, and to his shock, there was not a centaur on the viewing platform.

There was no audience in this fight.

What's going on?

The bear monster finally found an opportunity, arched its waist and sank down, kicked out with its hind feet, and stretched its front paws, and pounced at a distance of three meters.

The black shadow flashed in front of him, and Li Yi knew that it was too late to dodge in a hurry, and the claws of the bear monster were inserted into his collarbone.

The huge impact knocked Li Yi to the ground, and the feeling of death instantly rushed into his mind, and everything in front of him gradually turned black.

Only then did he realize how terrible the bear monster was, and that he was not its enemy at all.

The bear monster didn't expect this man who stood motionless for more than ten minutes to be so vulnerable, it grinned its teeth, its right paw pulled out, and a strange red light flowed.

Li Yi closed his eyes and waited for death, muttering in his heart: "Lao Ji, remember to give me the spoils after clearing the customs." ”

A strange whistle and a gong sounded at the same time.

"The game is over? Twenty minutes so soon? It shouldn't be, it feels like it's only been more than ten minutes. What's going on? ”

The terrifying bear claws did not fall on Li Yi after all, and the bear monster threw him out like garbage.

The centaur soldiers resisted Li Yi and embarked on a strange path.

"This is definitely not the way back to the cage, nor is it the way back to the main tent, where is he going to take me?"

Li Yi's question was quickly answered, and the centaur soldiers threw him into a natural stone pit far away from the Colosseum.

There were no torches, no moonlight, and it was pitch black.

In the darkness was the smell of blood, stronger than the Colosseum.

"I guess I won't survive, so you dumped me here?"

Li Yi muttered about to use the [Healing Crest], but heard someone shouting eagerly, "Who is it?" Who is it? ”

The voice was a little familiar, but Li Yi couldn't remember where he had heard it, and he replied tentatively, "I'm Seraphic Commander Li Yi." ”

The man was overjoyed and said, "I am the leader of the Seraph's ninth squadron in the Valley of the Queens. Long live the Queen. ”

Lindeno?

Isn't he dead?

There's one of his legs in the cage.

"You, you're still alive?" Li Yi will be skeptical, this is likely to be a plot arranged by the game.

Lindeno followed the sound and crawled in the direction of Li Yi, and said as he crawled, "You know me?" The beasts thought I was dead and threw me into this pit. ”

"Of course I know you, and I've fought with you." [Healing Crest] injected life into Li Yi bit by bit, and the wound that was badly wounded by the bear monster was quietly healing, and he could feel that death was moving away.

"Are you...... You are Li Li Changchang, oh my God, I don't think you are simple, it turns out that you are the commander of the Queen's special mission. Lin Denuo had already crawled to Li Yi's side, he grabbed Li Yi with his cold hand and shouted excitedly: "It's really worth my life to see you before I die." For the sake of Corita, for the sake of the Queen. ”

Li Yi's wound was pulled by Lin Denuo a little painful, and he couldn't help but say, "Don't be excited, let me rest for a while, maybe I can climb out of this pit." ”

Lindeno sighed: "This pit is too deep, your injuries are too serious, and I only have one leg left, we can't climb out." ”

Li Yi took a deep breath and said, "You can't give up, there is hope in life." ”

Lindeno replied, "You're right. Seraphs never give up. ”

Li Yi lay on the ground and stopped talking, the passive effect of [Heal Crest] was a bit slow, and he was hesitant to use the active effect.

"Did you get caught alone? I was arrested with Leah and them. In order to save a few civilians, we encountered a siege of centaurs, and we had a chance to break through under the command of Neil, but those centaurs seemed to be familiar with Neil's tactics, and they shot overwhelmingly with thorny arrows with paralyzing effects, and we ......"

Li Yi felt the nourishment brought by the vitality and said casually: "I know. I was also shot by an arrow. ”

"Did you see Leah and them?"

Li Yi said: "I saw it." ”

"How are they now, are they alright?"

"It's not good, Neil is dead, and both Lyddy and Leah are seriously injured. ”

"Oh my God. How so, how so. Lindeno said in an anxious tone, "May Grunse lead my brother on his last journey, and may my brother rest in peace in the mist." May the goddess Devina bless my sisters with peace and joy, and may my sisters suffer no more. ”

Hearing Lin Denuo say the words peace and joy, Li Yi's heart warmed: "Lao Ji always says these four words, I usually get tired of hearing them, but now I think about them tightly." ”

Li Yi said: "They should be fine. The Colosseum is unattended, and most of the time there will be no more tragedies. ”

Lindeno was suspicious: "There is such a thing. Centaurs love to torture humans the most, so how could they stop. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

Lindeno hurriedly denied: "Impossible, impossible." ”

Li Yi asked: "What can't be?" ”

Lindeno had to reply: "As a general rule, centaurs will never stop their bestiality unless they find more interesting prey. ”

"Oops." Lindeno suddenly exclaimed, "Did they find your companion?" ”

A word wakes up the dreamer.

The centaurs must have discovered Lao Ji's whereabouts, so they poured out of the nest.

What can I do?

The best way is to climb out of the pit to find Lao Ji before the centaur, but how do you climb out?

"It seems that this is the task that the game sets for the player." Li Yi had a plan in his heart, "Since it is a task, there must be a way to complete it." There are only two people in this pit, me and Lindeno, so he must be the breakthrough of the mission set by the game. ”

Thinking of this, Li Yi asked, "How long have you been in the pit?" ”

"I can't remember clearly, I still counted at first, but then my leg hurt so badly that I was confused."

Li Yi asked again: "This is a special place to throw corpses, right?" ”

"Yes. Before I came down, there were already a lot of companions here. I sang eulogies for them. ”

Li Yi's brain turned quickly, he promised Leah to retrieve Neil's body, just now he searched around the fighting beast and found nothing, if this pit is a place dedicated to dealing with dead bodies, then Neil should also be here, it seems that his luck is still good.

Thinking of this, Li Yi said: "You have a heart." These fallen colleagues will not die in vain, and when we escape, we will have to pay for the blood of those animals. ”

Lindeno laughed miserably: "I don't expect to leave alive, I just hate not killing a few more centaurs before I die."

Li Yi clenched his fists, he already had a little strength in his hands, he pursed his lips and squeezed out a few words: "There is a chance."

Lin Denuo was a little surprised and said, "Your voice is much stronger, is it some kind of secret method?"

Li Yi denied: "No. My body is inherently incredibly resilient and can recover quickly as long as I don't die. ”

Lindeno said happily: "This must be the favor of the goddess Devina."

Li Yi heard what was in this and asked, "How do you say it?"

"When I fell, I noticed a few stout vines on the pit wall, but unfortunately the vines were so high that I couldn't reach them," Lindeno said. If your body can recover, we can definitely escape by borrowing vines when we stack them together. ”

"Good. Wait for me. Li Yi stopped moving, he gave up the idea of using the "Healing Crest", because he didn't know how long the cooldown time of the [Healing Crest] was, and if he encountered a more urgent situation after going out, the healing crest in his palm would be the last straw.

Lindeno said respectfully, "You have a good rest. ”

After speaking, Lindeno crawled to the side and sighed with self-pity: "I don't know what happened to my sister." ”

Li Yi asked out loud, "Who is your sister?" ”

"You should know her, she's the one who receives you during the day, and her name is Lindell," said Lindle. ”

Li Yi remembered that the first person he met when he first entered this dungeon was her.

"Lindeno and Lindell are like brother and sister names. It's a really weird game. If I weren't from the East, the siblings would be called Deno Lin and Del Lin. ”

The whimsical Li Yi laughed out loud for no reason.

Lindeno didn't know why, and asked, "Why are you laughing?" ”

Li Yi hurriedly covered up and said: "I naturally laugh when I think of good things." Don't worry, your sister is safe now. ”

Li Yi was telling the truth, when he was almost killed in the prisoner camp before, Cali saved him with a team of Seraphs, and there was Lindell in this team of Seraphs, but the situation was a little complicated at that time and he didn't remember Lindell well, so he didn't recognize her immediately, but now when he heard Lindeno say this, he had an impression.

Lindeno was overjoyed when he heard that his sister was safe: "Have you seen my sister? Where is she now? ”

"If nothing else, she should be with my companion by now."

Lindeno asked earnestly, "Really?" When and where did you meet her? ”

"A few hours ago. I was in a prisoner camp and nearly died, but it was your sister who saved me, and then she went with the liberated civilians to join my companions. ”

"Is that so?" Lindeno couldn't believe it, "You just said that the centaurs terminated the entertainment, did they track my sister's whereabouts?" ”

Li Yi said: "Probably not." Judging by the pace of the march, your sister should have joined my companion two hours ago. ”

"Two hours ago?" Lindeno asked, "In which direction is she going?" Could it be that he was discovered by centaur spies on the road? ”

Li Yi suddenly became worried, there was indeed such a possibility.

"She's headed for Falling Rock Falls, and my companion is in the mountains. It stands to reason that ......"

Li Yi didn't finish his words, because he saw a flash of fire.

In the firelight, Lindeno stood up.

Lindeno stood up on his legs.

"You ......" Li Yi was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"Thank you, dear commander." Lin Denuo held a sword and a torch and walked towards Li Yi step by step.

"Isn't it strange that I don't have anything at all?"

Lindeno approached Li Yi and stabbed his collarbone wound twice with his sword, and the wound that had finally healed opened again.

Li Yi gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and shouted angrily: "Dog thief! Traitor! ”

Fear to the extreme, anger is the worst.

Seeing Li Yi's panic, Lin Denuo raised his sword and stabbed him again, and said unhurriedly: "A dog thief is better than a dead man with a broken leg." Traitor, where do you start? ”

Lindeno sneered: "I worked hard for the Seraph, and I couldn't even eat enough all year round, but the centaurs could give me money to support my family." It's not that I'm a traitor, it's that I'm sorry for me. ”

There is no arguing.

Of course, Lindeno did wrong in terms of loyalty and morality, but Li Yi could not use his own standards of behavior to measure a person who could die in troubled times at any time.

"Can you tell me when you joined the Centaur?"

Li Yi said this just to delay time, Lin Denuo saw through what he meant, waved his hand and said: "What's the use of knowing this, let's go on the road with peace of mind." Gourneth leads you. ”

The villain didn't say much, and the sword slowly stabbed into Li Yi's chest.

Lindeno stuck his sword on Li Yi and walked towards the edge of the stone pit with his torch, where the vines were thick.

As he walked, he said, "Don't you have amazing resilience?" I'd like to see if you're recovering faster or bleeding faster. ”

Lindeno grabbed the vine and climbed up a few steps, and Li Yi's voice sounded behind him: "You are wrong. ”

"As a villain, although you don't talk much, you are not neat enough after all."

"As a soldier, although you are ruthless, you are not cautious enough."

"A warrior never gives up his weapon."

Lin Denuo turned around and saw Li Yi holding a sharp sword with a straight waist and a murderous face.

The fire shone brightly, and the shadow of Li Yi's black hole was like a demon.

"How is this possible!" Frightened, Lindeno stepped up and climbed outward.

Li Yi dared to let him escape, and chased him under the vine in two steps. It's a pity that Lindenuo is really agile, and after all, he escaped from the pit first, and when Li Yi saw the light of day again, Lindenuo was already gone.

"Oops." Li Yi said badly, "That dog thief knows Lao Ji's location, and he must have gone back to report the news." It's all my fault for being careless and defenseless. ”

Li Yi dropped the long sword in his hand and hurriedly ran in the direction of the falling stone waterfall.

Half an hour later, he found himself lost.

The place was overgrown with oak trees and grass, and Li Yi was lost in it, unable to find a way out.

Li Yi, who was fruitless in his search, leaned on an oak tree surrounded by five people and complained in a low voice: "The broken game doesn't even have a map. ”

"At present, it seems that there is no way to find Lao Ji in front of the centaur, and I must outrun the centaur in the future." Li Yi told himself a cold joke to relieve his worries, "It would be nice if this cheating game had a private chat channel." It's good to have a map channel, I shout, and Lao Ji can hear it 800 miles away. Garbage games, what are you doing so really. ”

But complaining is complaining, thinking of the centaur's means of amusement, thinking of the injuries he has suffered, and thinking of Lao Ji being captured alive by the centaur, Li Yi can't help but become anxious.

"No, there shouldn't be a dead knot like that in the game."

Li Yi cheers himself up, and staying optimistic is the best way to face difficulties.

"I've been missing for more than four hours, and it's impossible for Lao Ji not to look for me. With his ability, he should have found me a long time ago, why didn't he show up? Is it delayed? What could delay him for four hours? ”

A series of questions surfaced in Li Yi's mind.

"Even if he is delayed, it is absolutely impossible for him to be delayed for so long." Li Yi trusted Li Weiji's ability very much, "Is it possible that he actually knows my location, but he can't rescue me from the centaur camp with his strength, so he hasn't appeared?" ”

At this point, Li Yi's face was happy.

"In other words, I've escaped from the Centaur camp now, so he should show up soon."

Li Yi couldn't help but shout: "Lao Ji, Lao Ji, where are you." ”

I only heard Li Weiji say: "I'm behind you." ”
