Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sweeping

April 13, 5th year of the federal calendar

Our plans are always frustrated in their implementation. Yesterday, I didn't stay in the martial arts gym for too long, but I further learned the more advanced swordsmanship of the Frostblade school under the guidance of my instructor. I still vividly remember the coach's resentful eyes at that time, and he told me with a little melancholy that I had far surpassed him in terms of realm, and the only thing I lacked was to further improve my sword skills. He explained in detail the description of Master Bingyu's swordsmanship in the school, and then told me that there was nothing left to teach, and the rest could only rely on his own comprehension.

After solemnly thanking the coach, I returned to the player station in a happy mood, and I was greeted by Genya's depressed eyes. From his childish and eager actions in the past two days, it could be clearly felt that he was fanatical about those runes, and several research maniacs, including him, had long been eager to go, but the other members' learning progress was extremely slow. By the time I got back to the station, there were still quite a few players who were still learning hard.

I shrugged helplessly, saying that I couldn't do anything, and then obediently stood aside and practiced the sword moves I had just learned. If I can become more proficient, maybe next time I have a chance to master more runes.

……

After a night of practice, players have finally mastered the knack of driving the runic energy in their bodies. After a short rest, the departure time was set for 8 o'clock in the morning.

As the discoverer of Teleportation Stonehenge, Duqi was honorably qualified to be the first experimental mouse. Anyway, players can now be resurrected unscrupulously, so naturally they don't have to worry too much about accidents.

So, under the expectant gaze of the players, Du Qi walked into the teleportation array alone, knelt on one knee in a circle covered with runes, and touched the lines on the stone formation with both hands. Activating this stone henge was more complicated than unlocking the iron walls of the Great Library, and Duzi was a little worried about whether the beginners would be able to complete it, but fortunately he had already had an experience, and he had lived up to the expectations of everyone.

Countless mystical translucent runes rose from the bottom of the stone platform, and Du Qi's body suddenly disappeared.

After a whirlwind, Duzi felt himself touch the ground again. Just now, he felt a strange feeling as if he had been forcibly pulled into space, and then he drifted with the angry waves, which was very uncomfortable. But the moment the teleportation was completed, the feeling suddenly disappeared, as if it was just a temporary illusion.

"Lord Duqi? Lord Duqi? Diye's characteristic old voice wanted to go.

"Ah...... Oh......" Du Qi shook his head, he still maintained his previous position, but the lines under his feet changed. This is a major feature of the teleportation array, which is divided into a teleportation point and a receiving point, which avoids conflicts caused by people using the teleportation array at the same time. Of course, if a more complex transmission network is deployed in the future, more complex rules will need to be used to limit it. "I'm experimenting with whether the teleportation array can be used smoothly, and it seems to have been successful. Wait a minute, I'll go back and inform my partner. He shifted to another position on the teleportation array, where he had reactivated and vanished again.

"Everyone, ......" When Duqi's figure reappeared in the teleportation array, the players immediately cheered. Duqi raised his hands and pressed the cheers, and continued, "Then, we'll see you on the other side. As he spoke, he skillfully activated the teleportation array once again.

According to the original plan, they did not immediately go to the temple, but first cleaned the inside of the Eye of Ryer to ensure safety. Therefore, the team that went to the underground world was divided into two teams of five people, Qi Xin, Xiao Fu, Li Xi, Empress Min, and a cute little boy who was only fourteen years old, Lu Ze, and Yuan Ya, Kui Qu, Xia Ying, and Hui Yi of the Du Qi team. Among this group of people, except for Genya, who is obsessed with studying the attachment, including Xiao Fu and Li Xi, all of them have rich combat experience.

Among the Du Qi squad, Kui Qu is the best at hand-to-hand combat, and his strength is extremely strong, using a two-handed greatsword called "Dragon Tooth", which is good at suppressing enemies with a furious attack. The equipment on Quit's body is similar to Duqi's, and is a mix of two outfits, one from the Black-crowned Helmet, Starry Armor, and the Dragon's Tooth Greatsword, Green Hone Gauntlet, and Roaring Pendant in the "Starry Night" set.

The so-called cyan phantom was obtained by players during the period when Duqi was absent when they went to the Black Pine Forest, and it is said to have been dropped from the elite lizardmen. The set consists of a total of five pieces of equipment that feature a bonus to strength.

Xia Ying's fighting style is similar to that of Du Qi, but after all, girls are naturally slightly different in terms of strength, and the advantage lies in speed and flexibility. As such, she chose to equip the Raging Sword and Blackcrown Helmet from the Starry Night set, as well as the Pride Armor, Roaring Pendant, and Phantom Boots from the Teal Phantom.

Hui Yi is a good hand with a bow and is mainly responsible for long-range attacks in battle. The equipment he uses comes from a monster known as the "Crimson", a strange creature with fiery red feathers that resembles a combination of an ostrich and a dodo. Since there were very few players with bows, he and his sister were able to craft the entire set with the help of other players when they set out to conquer the Black Pines Forest. The set is called "Crimson Vision" and contains the most six pieces of equipment to date, namely the Sunfall Bow, Hawk's Head Helmet, Tempest Gauntlet, Crimson Ring, Steel Feather Armor, and Red Feather Arrow.

Of course, since arrows are consumables, even if they are very strong, they will break after multiple uses, so they will only be used against tough enemies.

As for the last Yuan Ya, this big brother who is obsessed with research has almost no equipment, and the only star armor is borrowed from Yue Min before leaving. However, based on his own research on runes, it is unknown whether he really needs the assistance of other equipment. After all, Du Qi didn't have the habit of probing other people's old backgrounds, so he didn't know how many runes Yuan Ya knew and how many divine words he could release.

With the Temple of All Souls as the center, the two teams divided the Eye of Leyer into two parts with the north-south line as the boundary, and each began to clean up the city full of monsters.

With the cooperation of their partners, their actions are no longer restricted, and if they are not worried about the existence of horrors like the Abnormal Negative Xuan, they can almost be said to be unscrupulous. If they encounter a squad of ordinary jailers, they just need to swarm and kill those monsters like melons and vegetables; If you encounter a large number of teams, Kui Qu's Dragon Tooth Greatsword and Yuan Ya's Divine Words of Area Attack will show their magical powers; As for the clumsy negative Xuan, they almost became a live target for Hui Yi, and their thick skin couldn't stop the terrifying penetration of the red feather arrows at all, and in the end, they could only return with hatred.

If such a fight is seen by unsuspecting people, it will probably condemn these players as being too cruel. With such efficiency, in just one afternoon, Du Qi had completed his research on the negative mystery and obtained detailed information about this monster.

"Negative Xuan is a native species of the Black Domain, and since they have no eyes, nose, or other organs, they rely entirely on two pairs of ears above their front legs to observe the world. The appearance and personality of the negative Xuan are very elusive, and almost every individual is a special existence. Some speculate that this is related to the fact that they only absorb certain substances from minerals, but devouring different ores over the years will have a subtle effect on the associated minerals on their backs, resulting in subtle differences in appearance and color. In addition, since most minerals have varying degrees of energy inside, it is likely that this energy is the reason for the huge difference in the negative metaphysical character; Normal attributes: Blood Lv3, Stamina Lv1, Magic Lv0, Attack Lv2, Defense Lv3, Resistance Lv0, Speed Lv2, Berserk Lv0; Weakness: Abdomen"

"I see, although it's just speculation, it's no wonder that the mutant negative is so manic." Du Qi suddenly realized, "In other words, could the reason for its mutation be because it accidentally devoured the Celestial Fragment?" ”

After a whole day of fighting, Du Qi and the others finally cleaned up the upper and middle districts, and the lower districts planned to leave it for tomorrow. When the work was done, everyone returned to the Temple of All Souls to eat something, and tirelessly marched towards the temple that Duqi had mentioned, accompanied by several Roland people, including Diye.

"If adults are interested in these statues, there is actually another place to ......" Thiye's attitude towards the player can already be described as pious, in his own words, the presence of so many gods at the same time is a miracle that has never happened until the birth of the Rolands. Even if Du Qi and the others still didn't admit it, he had already regarded this group of people as messengers sent by the gods to redeem them in his heart. "Actually...... When the Roland people first came to the underworld, they didn't live here. Far away in the western part of the Underworld, there is a passage that leads to another large cavern, where the Roland people originally lived. Later, we were attacked by a terrifying monster, the ...... of Leyer, whom I had told Master Dozi."
