Chapter 268: Act 1 Begins
In such a void of darkness, if you stay for a long time, I am afraid that many people will be made to have a nervous breakdown.
Although Wang Ke has always had a faint expression, but at this time, in the face of this empty and boundless darkness, she couldn't help but feel a little weak, she stretched out her hand and wanted to hold the old demon's hand, but because the intimacy between the two was not high enough, the female surname player protection system set by the system suddenly took effect, and as soon as she and the old demon's hand came into contact, it was bounced off.
This scene made Wang Ke flute slightly, and then raised his hand to look at it...... "Don't worry, I estimate that such a scene will disappear in a while!" Seeing her like this, the old demon couldn't help but comfort her.
Wang Ke nodded and said no more.
Things were as expected by the old demon, due to the agreed time, the puppet wolf and the sand fox soon came in, and after they came in, they were suspended not far from the old demon and Wang Ke, so although they were also stunned, they immediately reacted, knowing that this was a special waiting setting in the dark arena.
"Confirmed entry personnel, the number of players is 4, the number of teams is 2, the default is a hostile relationship, the opening conditions are met, the dark arena system is about to load and open, please ...... later"
As the sound of the system echoed emptyly, the four of them knew that the dark arena was about to open, so Shahu smiled at the old demon from a distance and said, "I didn't expect you to come in, I thought you would escape!" ”
The old demon pouted and said: "Actually, I also want to say this, surrender and lose half, you might as well surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, you may not even have time to regret it later!" ”
"Oh, is it? Then we're looking forward to it! The puppet wolf and the sand fox smiled at each other.
As he spoke, the Dark Arena system seemed to have opened, and the infinite darkness around them slowly disappeared, and when they came back to their senses, the four of them realized that they were already in an ancient basement room.
"Dark Arena Act 1, Endless Labyrinth Opens!"
The empty system voice echoed again, letting everyone know the name of this level.
"Next, listen carefully to the rules of the Dark Arena! 1. In the Dark Arena, players can use any items and skills except for the Return to the City Scroll. 2. The arena mode is a survival challenge, but the opposing sides can attack freely. 3. In the Dark Arena, no resurrection props can be used, and once you die, it will be considered a failure, and all items will be exploded, and the level will be cleared to level 1 initial level. 4. After the start of the competition, players cannot quit halfway, and forcibly going offline will be judged as abstention, and the death penalty will remain the same. ”
After such rules were explained by the system, except for the old demon and Wang Ke, the puppet wolves and sand foxes were all frozen!
"This ...... What's going on!? The puppet wolf exclaimed, "Didn't you say that you only lost 100 million experience after hanging up!?" How did it become level zero!? ”
"! Lin Feng, that guy! How dare you lie to us!? The sand fox was also furious.
Looking at the two of them who looked panicked because of the unexpected death punishment rules, the old demon smiled coldly and said, "What's the matter, just now I told you to surrender and lose half of it, who told you not to listen?" ”
The sand fox reacted suddenly, turned to look at the old demon and said coldly: "I'm afraid you already knew about such a death punishment, right?" Otherwise, you should react the same way we do! ”
The old demon didn't speak, just nodded.
"Damn it!" The puppet wolf couldn't help but scold, pointing at the old demon and saying, "Then why didn't you tell us in the first place!?" ”
"Tell you?" The old demon smiled suddenly: "Why should I tell you? Don't forget, this dark arena was entered by you at your suggestion, and we are hostile, how could we tell you about such a situation? If it were you, would you tell me? ”
The puppet wolf and the sand fox were speechless for a moment, and indeed they were not obligated to tell them this...... 100 million experience, for the puppet wolf and the sand fox, even if it falls, it only drops the level to about level 30, which is not a hindrance, which is why they agreed to use the dark arena method in the first place, if in the peace map, if they want to make the level of the old demon drop more than 10 levels, I am afraid that the two of them will have to keep chasing and killing the old demon hundreds of times, and it is precisely because of the trouble of perceiving this point that they will use this method once and for all.
But now, things are beyond their expectations, the loss of 100 million experience has fallen to level 30, and they can also quickly brush back the level by doing tasks in the battlefield, but the level is cleared, which means that they have to return to the novice village to start again, the contrast between the two is completely two things...... "What should I do?" The puppet wolf chatted with the sand fox a little anxiously and asked, "This is too much risk for us!" ”
"Don't worry!" Contrary to the puppet wolf, the sand fox quickly calmed down and replied: "You should think like this, both of us are in danger of level clearing, we have to clear the level when we hang up, and they are the same, the risk is the same for both sides, there is no need to panic now!" ”
The two whispered there, and the old demon looked at the movements of the two of them and smiled coldly, the matter of the dark arena, the old demon and the king had already known about it, and in such a situation where they knew that the danger was extremely great, the two of them had to come in, so they were naturally mentally prepared, but the puppet wolf and the sand fox were different, they only learned after they came in, even if the sand fox had a higher IQ, he could quickly analyze the pros and cons and calm down, but anyway, Their psychological preparation time is much shorter than that of the old demon king, don't look at them calming down quickly, but in fact, the impact of death punishment is not so simple to eliminate, their calmness is actually just a superficial phenomenon...... This is the advantage of the old demon and Wang Ke, although I don't know what kind of survival challenge will be next, but its tension, just imagination can know that it is not simple, different emotions, will affect the next strength of each other, even if the puppet wolf and sand fox are powerful, as long as they are affected a little bit in the competition, I am afraid it will be fatal...... What is the psychological activity of the two sides, the system naturally ignores it, and the dark arena is still opened step by step, in this room, a stone door appears on the left and right sides, and the system prompts them to choose a door to enter.
The old demon and Wang Ke walked into the stone gate on the left without hesitation, while the puppet wolf and the sand fox looked at the stone gate, still hesitating.
"You can't quit, you can't give up, and you can't force you offline!" The puppet wolf scratched his head in annoyance and said, "What the hell are we going to do?" Do you want to go in? ”
Sand Fox looked left and right, and said: "According to the system, this first level seems to be a maze form, and since it is a survival challenge, then maybe there are powerful monsters in the maze, let's just wait in this room and see, if they enter the stone gate and enter the maze, they will be killed by monsters, maybe we can win without a fight!" ”
I have to say that this guy Sand Fox is indeed a bit wise, and he can even think of using this room as a safe area...... However, at this time, Lin Tiansheng, who saw this scene on the background monitor, couldn't help laughing out loud and said: "What you can imagine, how could our programmers not think of it?" If you had reacted faster, you might have been able to kill each other in the room, but now...... You don't have a chance for the time being! ”
Things are really as Lin Tiansheng said, the puppet wolf and the sand fox were in this room, and they didn't stay long before they heard a voice from the system: "Please choose the stone gate to enter as soon as possible, now there is 30 seconds left, if the countdown is over, there is still no choice, the system will be regarded as a waiver, and the death penalty will still be the same!" ”
The puppet wolf and the sand fox were dumbfounded, they didn't expect this room to be unusable, and finally they had to rush into the stone door on the right...... "Okay, now it's officially started!" Lin Tiansheng clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Switch to two screens, one on each side, so that we can observe ......."
…… After coming out of the stone gate, what appeared in front of the old demon and Wang Ke was a dark corridor, as if it was shown in a horror movie, a straight one stretched down, but there was no light in front of it, which looked a little gloomy.
Having said that, in fact, most of the content in this game has a distinctly dark style, which seems to follow the style of a game Diablo a long time ago, and this is certainly no exception...... Not long after the old demon and Wang Ke walked forward cautiously together, they encountered the first fork in the road!
"This first act level seems to be in the form of a labyrinth!" The two stood in front of the fork in the road, and the old demon said: "In other words, the road needs to be explored, and how to get out of this maze is the key." ”
Wang Ke nodded and said, "I seem to have heard people say that the general way to move the maze is to the right?" ”
The old demon shook his head and said: "Don't listen to these, the way to move the maze is to rely on temptation anyway, you can't know what the designer is thinking, how can you use a routine to substitute it?" ”
"So, shall we go our separate ways?" Wang Ke asked.
"Can't be separated!" The old demon vetoed Wang Ke's proposal and said, "Don't you forget, didn't the system say that this is a survival challenge?" In other words, there is a high probability that there are a large number of monsters in this maze, and our number is small enough, and if we go separately, we will be alone when we encounter monsters, so it's best to go together! ”
"Well, listen to you!" Wang Ke nodded.
Since it was decided to explore the road first, then it didn't matter where to go, the old demon and Wang Ke turned to the right and walked into the fork in the road on the right.
The old demon was walking in front, and Wang Ke was following behind him, and there was a short distance between the two of them, which was to prevent the two from suffering blows together when there was an emergency, but what happened next completely disrupted their original thoughts...... Not long after walking into the corridor on the right, Wang Ke in the back saw that where the old demon was, the entire space around him suddenly blurred, no, to be precise, it was distorted!
"Old demon, be careful!" Wang Ke hurriedly spoke.
The old demon himself was in it, but he didn't notice the abnormality around him, and when Wang Ke shouted like this, he also reacted that something must be wrong, so he quickly wanted to retreat.
But at this time, it was too late, and after the surrounding space was distorted for a while, Huo Di emitted a ray of light, stabbing Wang Ke to block his eyes with his hand, but when the light disappeared, the figure of the old demon had disappeared!
"Old demon!?" Wang Ke exclaimed in surprise, and after reacting, he quickly wanted to contact the old demon with a friend message, but found that he couldn't be contacted at all, and the system kept sending a prompt, saying that he was currently in a special map and could not be contacted.
Looking at the empty corridor, Wang Ke was a little stunned for a while...... At this time, Lin Tiansheng, who saw this scene, recorded in the notes in his hand: "In the first scene of the dark arena, the endless labyrinth, there are a lot of space traps in it, and the entrants will be scattered with their teammates one after another at the very beginning, and they will not be able to contact ......"
"What are you going to do?" Lin Tiansheng looked at the screen with a smile and thought to himself, "When you lose your teammates and are left alone, how do you get out of this maze?" ”
