161 After the catastrophe
"Whenever I'm in such a big way, I can't help but think...... Why do we always end up in such a tragic end? ”
"Why is this happening, I don't care, but ...... Can you move Lao Tzu somewhere first! ”
In an unknown cliff cave on the Falling Star Mountain, several adventurers who had just gone through a catastrophe were leaning against the wall and resting as much as possible, due to the previous fierce battle, the three of them were almost exhausted, so it was a little difficult to find a good place to rest with their own strength at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Fortunately, there was also a young man of the Norsrid tribe present, although he claimed to be a scholar and had little combat ability, but it seemed that it was still possible to let him do the work of supporting and bandaging.
However, this young man's strength is limited after all, and he doesn't seem to have any experience in placing the wounded, so he accidentally piled Duan Qing and Nantie Mountain together just now - based on his familiarity with the terrain, Duan Qing finally avoided the earth-shattering explosion at the entrance of the cave before, but that didn't mean that he was unscathed. In order to unleash his most perfect attack at the most perfect time, Duan Qing had to forcibly pass through the earth thorn group that the earth elemental kept casting, and at this time, the countless wounds he had scratched all over his body were the price he paid for it.
But no matter how you compare, he seems to be better than Nantieshan.
The black-armored man who used to be majestic was already lying on the ground like mud, at a point where he couldn't move no matter what. His black armor had been deformed by the previous attack, his chest was almost flattened, his face was covered with blood, like a ghost who had just crawled back from hell, and the bruises on his head and left shoulder were not caused by the boulder or when he fell to the ground, but judging from the bleeding that had stopped, the wound was still not fatal - in fact, judging from the fact that he was able to carry the stone himself at the last moment, the big man's body was still intact.
And he seems to be in good spirits as well.
"Aha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I'm ...... right now It's painful all over. ”
Saying this, Duan Qing still moved to the right with difficulty, and then leaned against another fallen rock: "It's still the eldest brother who is powerful, not only is he still alive, but he also smashed that metal bump down......"
"Then what do you think is the reason why I am lying here now and can't move?"
Dahan's limbs were wide open, and his eyes were looking at the sky, but he had just made some kind of breakthrough, and he seemed very excited: "That's labor-management...... When I completed the resident mission, the skills I realized, the thrill of that time, is not much better than this time, hahahaha...... Ahem! Ahem! ”
"Big brother, don't get excited...... And what are the resident missions? ”
“...... In order to prove that you have the strength to establish your own garrison in the Tania wilderness, those officials will give you a test, which is similar to fighting monsters. As long as you and your guild members are able to defeat the designated monsters and then hand over the loot, you will be granted permission to build a station. ”
Looking at the negative state of his body in the system prompt, the big man in black armor shook his head, and continued to happily recall these unbearable pasts: "Judging from the information collected by players in the past, the targets given to the resident mission are all wild monsters near Talon, at most plus a demonization level, so it's not a dish for me, but ...... When we went to apply, it was just in time for the Imperial invasion, and it was almost Tania, and many spies within the Imperial Army had already touched the vicinity, and those officials and old men were also frenzied, so they simply gave us a task to kill one of the spies......"
"Hah, Scout of the Empire." Under the black hood on the other side, a low chuckle suddenly came out: "You guys have to take it." ”
"Of course!" Dahan glanced at Xue Ling's Phantom Ice with his peripheral vision, and then continued his recollections: "The information is not wrong, we found them, but we really didn't expect that those online games are the same as usual...... Uh, no, it's that the standard soldiers in other worlds are so strong, and many of the brothers have fallen in the end, and in the end I am left with myself and the last two people on the other side, hehe......"
"I know the result is definitely that you won, so don't blow it."
“...... You girl, don't like to joke, forget it, don't let others brag. Nan Tieshan twisted his body twice a little uncomfortably, and then continued: "Actually, there is nothing to brag about, I was ...... Almost didn't think about anything, just thought about avenging his brother, desperately killing one counts one, desperately kills two...... Count me as a winner, what task, difficulty, reward, I couldn't care about it at the time, but I didn't expect to survive in the end......"
"Later, I flipped through the skill list, and there was one more skill of 'Storm Force'."

"This skill ......" Duan Qing's eyes straightened when he heard it: "Awesome......"
"Awesome ......" Dahan thought for a while, and finally swallowed back the word he wanted to say: "Didn't you hear that last sentence?" I've never used this skill since I learned it......"
"Not enough, right?" Xue Lingphantom Ice interjected again: "I don't believe that a person like you can still have such a high spirit. ”
"yes, I've never wasted my talent elsewhere since I was born, so I don't know why I realized this skill, and I don't know why I used it again...... But I was able to afford to move that big rock, so if I think about it now...... There are other reasons. ”
"Oh? What's with? ”
"The stone became lighter." Dahan closed his eyes, as if recalling what he had just felt: "I don't know why, but I just feel this way." ”
"I guess it's because of the elementals." Duan Qing shook his head and pulled out another bandage, and then continued to bandage the previous progress of Art: "What happened in that hall just now should not be an explosion, but an explosion of some kind of wind element. ”
"Elemental Burst?"
"Yes, the elemental explosion is spectacular, before ...... In short, if you have the opportunity, you can see and learn. As he spoke, Duan Qing looked at the woman on the other side, who bowed his head consciously.
“...... I don't know what you said, but judging from the wind just now, it ...... It should indeed be spectacular as well. ”
"I don't know why there was such a phenomenon in that hall all of a sudden, it could have something to do with that elemental creature, it could have something to do with what we did, or it could be ...... It has something to do with the hall itself. ”
Duan Qing gritted his teeth and tore off the last bandage, then tried to stand up slowly: "I can bet that hall must still have the same appearance as it was just now, and the wind from before...... It must be caused by the saturated wind element. ”
"They've chased the earth elemental away for us, by the way...... Saved you from being crushed by a boulder. ”
"Well, well-reasoned and convincing." The big man who was still lying in place nodded: "But I can't verify it now, and I still have a long time to be weak......
"Art, take care of him." Listening to the young man in the clouds to the side, Duan Qing began to walk towards the direction of the hall with difficulty: "Let me verify it." ”
"You're on your own?" The black-armored man raised his head slightly: "There's no need, we're all seriously injured now......"
"I'm fine." In a senseless tone, Duan Qing's figure had gradually moved away: "And ......"
"Now if we want to move on, we can only count on that hall."
"Hey, aren't you worried about your boyfriend?" When the man walked away, the big man lying motionless on the ground brought up the topic again: "Did you quarrel?" ”
"You have to figure out who is the one who is seriously injured now." The woman's voice was cold, "If you don't want me to cut off your head, don't talk about similar topics." ”
"Hehe, hehe, I'll be respectful first." Nan Tieshan put his head back on the cold ground: "But seriously, in case there is another earth element ...... drilled in front of you."
"He'll take care of it." The woman interrupted Nan Tieshan's words: "Even if he can't handle it, he will escape back." ”
"It's so confident." The big man muttered, "But I should have seen it a long time ago, the swords that disrupted the rhythm before, and the last blow......"
"Whether it's power, speed, or timing...... Tut-tut, aren't these things that people like us who practice martial arts pursue in the end? ”
"What are you talking about?"
"I thought it would be a big mistake to look at you, but I didn't expect ......" Ignoring Xue Ling's question, the big man who looked at the sky still said to himself: "Both of them have looked away......"
Seeing that the other party seemed to have entered some kind of fugue state, the woman shook her head helplessly, and then slowly stood up with her long sword.
"I'm going to the front, too." Looking at the wind and snow outside, and then looking at the situation around her, the woman nodded to Art, and then followed the path reflected by the two rows of stone pillars that still glowed blue-green, and walked to the stone hall before.
The situation at the scene was just as Duan Qing had guessed, and there seemed to be no unnecessary changes except for the damage caused during the previous battle. The stone pillars that had been smashed by various external forces were still lying there quietly, while the remaining stone pillars were still standing on both sides, and judging from the light on their surfaces, these stone pillars seemed to be much less bright than before.
"It seems that this is indeed the case......
Affirming some of the previous conclusions, the woman looked around the hall, but did not find Duan Qing's figure. But the next moment, the man who was unusually conspicuous because he was wrapped in bandages jumped out of the square hole in the middle.
"I really admire you, you still have the energy to play acrobatics." The woman dragged her long sword and slowly walked to his side: "And I didn't miss it." ”
"Don't think all day about how I'm going to die, okay? People will be very sad to hear it. Duan Qing sighed helplessly, and then continued to look left and right: "Don't look at it, this pit is bottomless, and the elevator before is also going up, so don't expect it to come up from below......"
"This elevator is very high." So the woman took her head back.
"Of course, there are probably ......" Duan Qing smiled and gestured: "The entire Falling Star Mountain is so high?" If we can get on that elevator, maybe we can reach the bottom of Falling Star Mountain and find some big devil who is suppressed inside......"
"If I want to beat you, I won't fight anyway." The woman said angrily: "It's so tiring to fight the earth element...... By the way, did you comprehend the blow you had before? ”
"That's it...... Understood. Duan Qing scratched his head.
[Lethal Attack: A lethal blow that can inflict a lethal blow when accurately hitting the enemy's weak point.] 】
[Skill Power: 100% (missed)]
[Skill Required: None]
"That 'missed' note at the end...... Is it not meant to hit the opponent's vital point? ”
"Probably, after all, many people have experimented with it, and it is ineffective to hit non-critical parts with such an attack. But how much damage can it do...... Nobody knows. The woman's voice was deep and explained, "Anyway, when you use it successfully, the target is already dead." ”
"Sure enough, the skill is as good as its name." Duan Qing shook his head and said, "However, this skill has no demand for attributes, which I didn't expect." ”
"Why?" Xue Lingphantasm asked curiously, "Such a beginner's skill, there is no requirement for even the weapon used......
"I know that you can knock someone to death at once with a staff." Duan Qing continued his work as he checked it out while explaining to Xue Ling Phantom Ice, "But theoretically, it would be very difficult to complete a similar attack, especially in ...... The free world is a highly realistic simulation of the situation. ”
"That's why it reminds you with a note of what the effect of a miss is, isn't that normal?"
"It's not that simple." Duan Qing still shook his head: "Although I can't say anything wrong now, one thing is certain." ”
"What?"
"Spiritual...... It must be a useful attribute in the future. ”
Knowing what the other party wanted to say, Duan Qing immediately looked back at the other party and said, "It's not that what is said for the legal profession is useful, but ...... Useful for everyone. ”
"Oh? What can a melee class do with a spirit? ”
"It's just a guess now, but ...... Just think about that skill of Nantieshan. Duan Qing, who had been wandering for a while, finally stopped somewhere: "Could it be here?" ”
The place where the two of them stopped was the small hole they had found in the wall earlier.
"What's wrong?"
"We're going to find a way to get that elevator down!" Duan Qing pointed to the small hole and said, "We used this switch before, but the stone platform did not respond, and then I pulled out the stone pillar...... Now that I think about it, the stone pillar must be the kind of thing that blocks the power supply, right? ”
Xue Lingphantasm looked at Duan Qing's face, and only after a long time did he suddenly realize.
"You're saying that this thing is the key to controlling the stone platform?"
