"Crunch!!" When the falling rope swayed in the air with Wang Lei's body, even if he had challenged the mountain cliff in reality, he felt a palpitation at this moment. Because there was nothing to see below that could glow, as he continued to go deeper, even the midday sun could not penetrate the top of the cliff to the deepest part of the abyss.
He had already dropped a full three hundred meters, and even if the cost of the game was smaller than in reality, he was already out of breath now. He must immediately find a place where he can stay, as the first person to climb down the abyss, Wang Lei has to find a platform for the people who come down behind him in addition to exploring the path.
However, the light under the abyss is so scarce that even with a lighting crystal on his head, he can't see anything more than ten meters away. The deep underground world is showing its darkest side at this moment, in this world, black is the main body of the world, as Wang Lei continues to climb down, his vision is getting worse and worse, and he no longer knows how much he has fallen. The only belief that supported him to continue climbing down was probably the rope shaking above his head, as well as the experience accumulated from playing extreme sports in reality and the momentum of not admitting defeat.
In the end, after descending nearly 100 meters, Wang Lei finally found a place to settle as far as the eye could see. However, you have to be very careful to climb to this place, because it is nearly ten meters away from where the rope hangs, and this distance is nothing if it rests on flat ground, and it may not take a blink of an eye to run through. But on the cliff below the abyss, the distance of less than ten meters is as impassable as a ravine.
Because Wang Lei couldn't find a gap that he could climb. As far as the eye can see, the rock walls are extremely smooth. The most deplorable thing is that the rock wall he is now clinging to is as hard as iron, and even the sound of hitting it is not a stone, but a sound like metal crashing. At this time, Wang Lei had to wonder if he was climbing on top of a huge piece of metal ore, and the purity of this metal ore was still very high.
After several attempts in a row that failed to make a single hole in the rock or to dig a mace into the rock. Wang Lei had to choose to climb up, and then climb around this place and climb to the platform from other places. After nearly half an hour of continuous attempts, Wang Lei climbed to this rock platform with an area of only two square meters. On this platform, he lay down on it almost as soon as he was sure of the solidity of the rock platform. I breathed the air hard, as if all the strength of my body was gone.
However, after breathing for nearly a minute, Wang Lei finally sounded his mission and sent a signal to the people who had been waiting for him above. Chen Kai, who received the signal, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, although he paid for the task. But that doesn't mean he wants those players to run to their deaths. If it was possible to get the result without damaging the life, then Chen Kai would rather choose this one than get bad news at the cost of the lives of those players. Because if these players can come back alive, then it will definitely be good news for Chen Kai. Therefore, Chen Kai chose the former over the latter.
As the second player slowly climbed down, the time gradually approached a little in the afternoon. If they can't finish exploring before the sun goes down, it is estimated that Chen Kai and the others will return empty-handed today. Because the danger outside the town of Berkna at night is very high, even during the day if there is no cavalry force of nearly three hundred. Chen Kai was also reluctant to take the risk of coming to the wild.
It's not that Chen Kai is afraid of death, but because there are fewer people, he is completely sending him to death in the wild. No matter how many players there are, there is still a feeling of trembling in the face of demonized cavalry and soldiers who don't know where they will be killed. If you encounter a large-scale attack by demonized soldiers. And if Chen Kai feels that he can't defeat the other party, then Chen Kai will choose to leave these players and withdraw to the territory first. This is when they take over the task. Chen Kai specifically noted one, and because of this, this task is designated as a mortal task in the system rating, which is also displayed in red. Because even in the eyes of the system. Accepting this quest is similar to looking for death, whether you descend into the abyss or stay in the wilderness, you are in danger of being killed.
However, Chen Kai and the others were lucky, at least they had not encountered a large-scale attack in the past three hours or so. The only thing that can be called dangerous is that more than a dozen demonized pigs ran over and walked around, of course, they were directly slaughtered by Chen Kai. In the days when there was no Guan Yu to rob the monster, Chen Kai felt pretty good, of course, if there was no trouble with this abyss, it is estimated that he would feel even better.
When the figure of the last player slowly disappeared from view, Chen Kai had nothing else to do but stay above the abyss and wait. In fact, he could have entrusted the matter to others, returned to his lord's mansion to deal with affairs, or led people to clean up demonic creatures. But Chen Kai chose to stand on the top of the abyss and wait, watching the rope continue to shake in a daze or kill the demonized creatures that appeared around.
The breeze blew through the huge opening of the abyss and made a whining sound, as if a monster was roaring below, and Chen Kai, who had been in this place for nearly half a day, was already familiar with this sound, so he would not feel too shocked. And when Chen Kai stayed on the cliff and looked down, he basically couldn't see anything else except for a white point of light that was not shaking and was climbing below. If it was noon, when the sun shone directly overhead, maybe Chen Kai would have seen farther, but after the depth exceeded two hundred meters, he basically couldn't see anything. The endless darkness under the abyss swallowed up almost all the light, even the light emitted by the lighting crystal could only allow the user to see clearly the range of more than ten meters around him, and the lighting range of Wang Lei's lighting crystal, which had fallen to a position of nearly five hundred meters, could only be maintained in an area less than five meters square around him.
With such visibility, finding a new place to stay is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Most importantly, the world beneath the abyss is as dangerous as the scarlet words in Chen Kai's mission. The bright red blood stains on Wang Lei's armor are the best proof of this, and he has been attacked several times by creatures like lizards or rock snakes in the process of climbing the cliff wall.
If only that's fine. After all, these things are not very high in the system's judgment, just the beast level. The only threat to people is the suddenness of their attacks, or the toxins carried in their claws, saliva, fangs. As long as you pay a little attention, a little vigilance will basically not be attacked by them, and Wang Lei is naturally not worried about these. Rather, it's an unknown magical creature or a large rock lizard.
In this world where anything can happen, no worries are superfluous, and maintaining enough caution is the biggest guarantee for Wang Lei to survive in the game. As a normal man who loves extreme sports, Wang Lei does not pay much attention to the game world, and can be said to be a standard game rookie. If this game hadn't appeared, it is estimated that he would still be spending time in a real-life extreme sports club, or learning parkour in a reinforced concrete city or something. But as a rookie in the game, Wang Lei has enough channels to understand information, and the first way to survive in the game he summed up is to be cautious. Enough caution is the greatest guarantee for the life-saving career of extreme sports. After all, Wang Lei pursues excitement, not giving away his own life. So every time he goes skydiving or rock climbing, he will carefully check his equipment, so that he can participate in it with confidence.
It was because he was cautious enough that he did not lose his life. There was no blind rapid descent, but little by little groping the cliff wall and moving slowly. Of course, he would knock on the cliff wall from time to time, making a bell-belling sound. The sounds echoed far into the silent abyss, and when he finished, a response was heard above his head. This is the only way Wang Lei and them can pass messages to each other in the dark world. In addition to being used to confirm whether the opponent is alive, it also has a role to attract monsters in the abyss. Of course, the former is good news for Wang Lei. But the latter is really bad news.
In fact, as a player, Wang Lei really doesn't need to use this method to communicate, as long as they shout at each other in the team channel. But the abyss is too quiet, even if you can use the team channel to communicate, you will still feel very frightened after staying in this strange environment for a long time. So this is the way to convey sound. In addition to communication, there is another reason for reassurance. Of course, if someone suddenly stops tapping, it will make everyone else feel worried. Thus generating new fears.
After a long period of exploration, Wang Lei finally found a platform where he could settle down nearly 800 meters away from the top of the cliff. In fact, he had found several places to stay before. However, these places are either too small or not stable enough. The former can't accommodate two people, and even Wang Lei's feet can't fit alone, and once the latter collapses, it will cause an accident for Yanzhòng. Therefore, the platform where you can rest is very important, in fact, Wang Lei and they have another way to accommodate themselves on the cliff, that is, to directly use steel drills to nail into the rock.
However, because this method is too time-consuming, Wang Lei will not choose to do it if it is not a last resort. After all, no one knows how deep this cliff is, in fact, Wang Lei is ready for a long-term battle. In his backpack there were at least a dozen rolls of rope that were kilometers long, as well as nearly a hundred lighting crystals. Relying on these things, he can go deeper than ten kilometers underground, and in a straight line. If this abyss is really more than ten kilometers deep, then even if you stuff the highest mountain in reality, it is estimated that it will not show its head, and such a deep abyss is not something that can be climbed to the end in a day or two. So Wang Lei had to be well prepared, and in fact he did.
As time passed, when dusk was approaching, Wang Lei had climbed to a place minus 1.5 kilometers from the surface. He was now more than 1,500 meters away from the ground in a straight line, but in fact he had climbed more than three kilometers. Most of the time, in order to find a suitable place to stay, he has to climb several areas in one place repeatedly. If the world under the cliff can be seen, then it will be very simple to find a foothold, but the problem is that the place where Wang Lei is now is less than two or three meters in sight, so it can be said that he can't see his five fingers and almost can't see his toes. It is very difficult to find a place to stay, and it is extremely difficult to connect with each other.
In this case. Wang Lei: It was basically impossible for them to climb up, so after wandering for a long time, Chen Kai still chose to leave. Because if he stayed, he would not be able to return to the City Lord's Mansion, and there would be more than three hundred natives and a certain unlucky lord among the personnel. So after repeatedly making sure that Wang Lei and the others were fine, Chen Kai chose to urge the war horse to leave the abyss. And Wang Lei and several people rested on the platform established by Wang Lei. It took Wang Lei an hour to build this platform, although the platform is less than three meters long and more than two meters wide, but it is a relatively safe place in this extremely dark underground world. Because the platform was built on a small but strong stone that jutted out of the cliff. In addition to blocking the wind blowing from under the cliff, it can also give Wang Lei and them a lookout platform.
Of course, in this extremely dark place, it is estimated that no matter how wide your eyes are, you will not be able to see far. However, this rock platform has the added benefit of being used to light a campfire so that the group does not go without a mouthful of hot food. After all, wooden platforms are flammable. If you make a fire on it, you'll roast everyone.
"Brother Wang! How much more do we have to climb? A player named Fei Yongjun asked with his dinner, because Wang Lei's climbing skills are the highest, so he deservedly became the captain. Therefore, everyone is basically dominated by Wang Lei, and in fact, Chen Kai did not let them thoroughly explore the situation under the abyss. Just get some useful information.
"I don't know! After the system determines that the task is completed, it is estimated that we will be able to go up! Wang Lei and Fei Yongjun were holding their own dinner, although there was a rock as a support, but the whole platform was still very small. The five people crammed together can be a bit cramped, but this will be resolved once the tent is set up. Five people carry a small magic tent, enough for them to sleep as much as they want at night. This magic tent is a benefit for Chen Kai to support them, and the tent that can accommodate ten people rolling in it only needs less than two square meters to prop up.
"That's it! God knows when the system will decide that the task is complete! Heard Wang Lei's answer. One player couldn't help but wail, and of course his words were quickly pushed back. Because everyone heard some kind of sound coming from around them, it was the sound of some extremely large creature moving or more akin to the flapping of wings.
At that moment, Wang Lei took out the kettle directly from his waist to extinguish the bonfire, and then took out a huge cloth curtain from his pocket to cover everyone underneath. This curtain has a hydro-elemental cryotherapy attached to it. It can cause the surface of the blackened curtain to produce a temperature almost like that of a rock. With the color of the curtain, in the pitch-black underworld, you will only think of it as a rock. This is something that Wang Lei has carefully selected, and the effect seems to be very useful, at least for now.
Everyone tried to hold their breath. If you can't hold your breath, you will be gagged by a small object that is said to prevent the flow of human breath. Of course, this small object is actually a thing similar to a real-life gas mask, which can effectively filter the smell in the air.
It's a pity that even with such a thing. Wang Lei: They still smelled a very strong fishy smell. At the same time, a loud wheezing sound in the air was heard, which was the result of the gradual approach of some large creature.
Although all light sources had been extinguished, Wang Lei still saw two huge lanterns slowly approaching through the thin cracks in the curtain. However, Wang Lei knew very well in his heart that the so-called lantern was actually a huge bioluminescent eye. With eyes alone the size of two light bulbs, the size of this creature can be imagined.
The huge creature seemed to smell Wang Lei's breath of food left in the air, and slowly approached the place where they were hiding, which allowed Wang Lei to see its eyes that could glow in the dark. At the same time, as the other party approached, a huge air flow began to slowly blow on the bodies of the five people, even if it was covered by the magic curtain, it was useless.
"Brother Wang! What is this? Fei Yongjun asked Wang Lei in the team channel, but unfortunately the other party was not clear, so there were only three words back to him, "I don't know!" "But soon everyone knew the type of creature, because it was so close to the five of them that its whole head was almost on top of the group.
If it weren't for the magic sprinkled with a potion that masked the smell, it is estimated that the five of them would have been completely devoured by a large mouth. But even so, Wang Lei and the other five people were still almost scared to death, because the other party's size was too big, and the huge head was more than two meters long.
"Descendant of the Abyss Eater Zamaranchitosk!" This is the situation that Wang Lei saw in the information in the system log.,Although he's a rookie in the game, he still got some adventures after entering the game.,This special skill of checking the name of the target is what he got from an adventure.。 Of course, records are limited to something that is known, or the name of a similar creature, such as this wyvern. If it weren't for the fact that his elder, the Abyss Devourer, Zamaranchitosk, was too famous, and there was a record in the thing Wang Lei gotten, Wang Lei wouldn't have seen the other party's name at all. It is precisely because the other party is relatively close to its ancestors that it is named a descendant by that item. (To be continued......)
