264. Tunnels

The road ahead is not easy.

The path behind the stone statue is quite narrow, not to mention, the whole process is still shrouded in wind and snow, and the line of sight can only be seen less than two meters, and the landing can only be felt by feeling.

If there is an emergency bend at the front of the path, those walking on it may fall into the abyss below because they can't see the road clearly.

The two of them crouched down again, this time walking harder than the last, and the wind and snow gave them a buff that reduced their movement speed, slowing them down to the point of crawling on the ground.

Fortunately, the distance of this road is not too long, and after there is no road in front of him, Bai Ye raised his head tremblingly, observed a circle nearby, and found a place on the opposite cliff where he could hang his hook and claw.

He had already discovered some patterns in this scene, such as that when there was no way ahead, there must be a foothold for people to crawl around, or a place where the hook could be fixed.

"Fly over with your hooks, be careful."

After reminding Ding Ri behind him, Bai Ye took off the hook on his waist, slashed it twice in the air, and then threw it towards the fixed point.

This hook has an automatic lock function, as long as its flight direction is directly facing the fixed point, the system will help the hook lock the fixed point, unless Bai Ye throws it too far, otherwise there is no need to worry that the hook will not touch the fixed point.

Along the way, there was a lot of use of hooks, and by this point, Bai Ye was already very proficient in this prop.

After the hook was successfully secured, he jumped out of the way from the end of the road.

The furious wind and snow immediately blew him off the original course of the fall, and the rope of the hook claw shook violently, and the whole person spun in the air like a spinning top.

Bai Ye gritted his teeth and grabbed the rope with both hands, blown by the wind like a kite with a broken string.

Shaking and spinning......

After about ten seconds, he finally flew through the chaotic and violent wind belt, and his back slammed into the opposite mountain wall.

"There is no danger."

Bai Ye gasped, feeling his heart pounding and beating hard.

From the moment he was crawling along the path, the tension quickly took over his whole body.

Although I know that this is just a game, even if I fall from a high platform and fall to my death, it is not real death, but people's eyes often deceive the brain, when seeing the scene realistic and terrifying to a certain extent, even if everything in front of you is fake, but there will still be a subconscious sense of nervousness and fear in the mind.

After Bai Ye reached out and grabbed the rock wall, his other hand shook the hook rope, and the hook automatically retracted.

Ding Ri, who was lying in place in the distance, saw that Bai Ye had successfully landed, and he also followed Bai Ye's example and threw his hook towards the fixed point.

……

After some tossing, Ding Ri also lay down on the cliff side by side with Bai Ye.

"I almost let go."

Ding Ri's face was pale, and he didn't know if he was frozen by the cold, or if he was frightened by hanging above the abyss just now.

"The difficulty of this game is definitely level 3 or above, level 35 or even level 4."

Half a month after the game was launched, players have a good understanding of the game, and they have also made a 15-level division for the scenes encountered in the game, the higher the level, the greater the difficulty of the scene.

"There may be more difficult areas ahead, so let's keep going, don't stop here."

Bai Ye didn't care about this kind of difficulty level, because most of them weren't too difficult for him.

The two of them continued to climb along the cliff, and the path ahead began to skew downward, and the storm became much smaller as they distanced themselves from the Altar of the Gods.

Finally, the bottom of the valley covered in snow and ice can be seen ahead.

"I couldn't see clearly when I was blown by the wind just now, and it turned out that I was only so far away from it."

Even if you jump directly from the table, I'm afraid you won't lose too much health.

"With such a strong wind, you think you can fall to the ground smoothly?"

Bai Ye continued to walk forward without looking back.

The road ahead became narrower and narrower, and as the road was about to come to an end, several half-man-high caves appeared in the sight of the two.

"It's all about climbing mountains and drilling holes along the way, and each level is arranged so tightly that the system can't arrange a normal route in the middle for us to take a break?"

Ding Ri once again complained about the 'unusual' arrangement of the system.

"The main test of this game is this."

As he spoke, Bai Ye squatted down, looked for one of the caves, removed the snow from the cave entrance, and began to drill inside.

"Hey, can you get through this hole? There are several more that look exactly the same outside. ”

Ding Ri complained and complained, the hole still had to be drilled.

"It's right to follow me."

……

Sure enough, after a few hundred meters in the narrow cave, the road ahead gradually became wider.

The temperature is gradually rising, the wind is passing through the cave, and the air is not muddy.

There were water dripping on the rocks at the top, and Ding Ri took a few sips in his hand, boasting that the natural water was cold and a little sweet, and the thief Jill quenched his thirst.

A few more steps on, a branch appears at the end of the road.

"It's ...... Tunnel? ”

The road extended to a T-shape, and the two of them stood at the intersection to look at the newly emerged branch, and found that the road had quite obvious traces of artificial mining, the cave wall was quite flat, and a line of railroad tracks for mine carts could be seen on the ground.

"Someone mining here?" Ding Ri squatted down and touched the railroad tracks, and then looked in the front and back directions, "Someone is moving, indicating that it is not far from the exit." ”

"I think it's better not to meet people."

"Huh? Why? ”

Ding Ri was a little incomprehensible to Bai Ye's statement.

"There's no reason why a tunnel is being opened here because it's mining, it's something that has nothing to do with the main story."

Bai Ye said as he began to walk along the railroad tracks.

"Then why do you want to open a tunnel here, there is no road behind here, and if you go there, you will go to the sea, unless you ......"

The setting of this game is a very low island, which is not very large, and it would be unreasonable to open a north-south tunnel on such an island.

"Unless these tunnel-digging people are also fighting the idea of that golden palace?!"

Ding Ri quickly reacted.

"It turns out that this tunnel is likely to have been opened by a competitor?!"

"So, when they suddenly see us coming out of the tunnel, what is their first reaction?"

"Of course, I was directly arrested."

The tunnel has not yet been dug to the Golden Palace, it is a dead end, if the person digging the tunnel guards the starting point of the excavation, there is no other way to enter and exit the tunnel in the caretaker.

And the fact that Bai Ye and Ding Ri were able to walk out of the tunnel unharmed only meant that they had found another way to the Golden Palace.

Then further reasoning, they can all reach the golden palace, then naturally they will also obtain the treasures in the palace.

Well, of course, the people who dug the tunnels will not help them and let them go.
