Chapter 56: The Sandstone Labyrinth
"I didn't force you to go into the snake cage, you can choose to be my dog or go back. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Victor still had an incomprehensible and confused expression, as if he couldn't understand the cause of Lu Pingchuan's anger, "I don't have any professional tasks that must be completed here, and I don't have any bizarre equipment that is particularly worth playing, and if you go back from here, you will lose some upgrade speed and gold rewards at most...... You see, I'm such a good person who is so honest and generous. ”
"So, what are the rules for being your dog and slave?" Just when everyone was dumbfounded, Xia Yan suddenly spoke coldly.
"It's simpler, there are no rules, as long as it makes me happy." Victor said, using the butt of his gun to sweep the leftover bones and metal plates on the table to the ground, smashing them in front of the four of them and saying, "For example, now, gnaw all the bones on the ground; Or a beautiful Oriental girl like you, as long as you are willing to sleep with me for one night, I will be happy to let you all pass. ”
"Hey, it's funny, it's so funny!" Zod, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly let out a cruel smile, rubbed his hands together and walked towards Victor, "I'm here to make you happy!" ”
Before the other four could stop it, Zod had already rounded his right fist and called out to Victor's face. Victor whistled while quickly turning his head to the left and avoiding - and the mechanical dog Kerberus jumped up from behind the chair at lightning speed, jumped over Victor and pounced on Zod.
The strength of the mechanical dog was staggering, and a giant man like Rao Shizod nearly fell to the ground under its lunge. Fortunately, Lu Pingchuan and others supported him from the side, so that he could stand firm. Seeing that he couldn't put Zod down, the dog took two steps back and arched his waist, and then pounced again.
"Enough is enough, Kberus, get down." Victor gave two short whistles to stop the mechanical dog from attacking. The mechanical dog heard the command and quickly lay down, but its head was still raised in the direction of Zod, and it did not go into a dormant state as before. Victor crouched down and patted the dog on the head, looking up at the five of them and grinning, "You guys are such an interesting team, much more interesting than the little guys yesterday...... I don't mind competing with you guys before the mission starts, but if you are rude to NPCs that are not mission targets in the team state, you will be punished for losing the qualification of the closed beta, so is it okay? ”
"As long as it's the target of the mission, it doesn't matter how rough you are." Xia Yan dismissed Victor's threat with an expressionless face, and said instead, "In that case, we choose 'Minos' Labyrinth." ”
"Ho-ho, do you count?" Victor glanced at the five people present.
"Of course, I'm their captain." Xia Yan's tone was still very calm, but this calmness was like a tight bowstring, making the people around her nervous for no reason, "Those who don't want to enter the maze can stand up now." ”
As soon as these words came out, the three men immediately stood in a neat row beside Xia Yan. Situ Nan was a little hesitant, but seeing that his teammates had already expressed their stance like this, he could only drag his feet to the back of the team and stand next to Zhu Yaoming.
"Well, now that you've made your choice, I'll wish you all a great time." Victor said, sling his rifle on his shoulder, and whistled at Kerberus, and the dog followed him outside, "Come on, I'll take you to the entrance to the labyrinth." ”
The group followed Victor through the farmstead to the sandstone hills at the end of the oasis. Victor pinpointed the location of the entrance in a row of stone walls made of red rocks, and pointed to the narrow tunnel that only allowed one person to pass through: "This area was originally a natural sandstone forest, but after the company took over this place, it has made some small adjustments, and now it is a semi-artificial labyrinth with an area of about 2 hectares...... There is only one entrance, and there are caves and tunnels for you to hide, but if someone tries to escape through the stone walls or sneak out of it, they will be permanently disqualified...... Okay, you can go in, I'll start the timer. ”
With that, Victor turned around and walked towards the farmstead, leaving Kerberus at the entrance of the cave, staring motionless at the five men. Xia Yan walked towards the cave without hesitation, Zuode and Lu Pingchuan followed, Situ Nan dragged Zhu Yaoming's arm all the way, and his expression was very nervous: "What should I do, why did this Yan girl enter the old perverted trap without saying a word!" Lao Zhu, can we pass the test? I don't want to go into that cage, you know I'm most afraid of snakes......"
"It's okay, just look at their confident appearance, Captain Xia has always been reliable, and you also know the strength of Lao Lu and Zode, we will definitely not lose!" Zhu Yaoming said with relief.
After passing through the tunnel, the five of them saw the true face of the labyrinth - as Victor said, this is a huge natural sandstone forest, but some of the rocks have been artificially chiseled or cemented to form numerous hidden tunnels and tunnels, which are indeed worthy of the word "labyrinth". The five of them walked and watched about two hundred meters or so, Xia Yan stood under a relatively hidden stone pillar, turned his head and said to the four team members: "It should be almost here now, let's discuss tactics and see if we will unify to resist the enemy or act separately." ”
"What? Engage in half-day Captain Summer, you don't have a preset plan? Situ Nan was shocked when he heard this, Xia Yan glanced at him, ignored him, and continued: "In view of the fact that this mission is time-limited, I personally suggest that we act separately, the other party only has one person and one dog, and the more we disperse, the more inconvenient it will be for him to find it." If each of us can survive more than 20 minutes, then clearing the game will not be a problem. ”
"It's true that splitting up can lengthen the search time of the opponent, but on the other hand, once one of us is discovered, the probability of being captured by the opponent will also be greatly increased." For the first time since the closed beta, Lu Pingchuan put forward a completely different view on Xia Yan's tactics, "Not to mention that mechanical dog - we have all seen its power just now, if it catches up, it can be said that none of us, including Zod, can escape from its mouth under the premise of acting alone." Do you think we should make five pieces of loose meat and wait for it to eat in one bite, or twist it into a rope with a better chance of winning? ”
"Tell me about your thoughts." Xia Yan looked at Lu Pingchuan's eyes and said.
