Chapter 205: The Sword of the Soul (20)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This underground cave is a fairly large map, with tunnels criss-crossing and many flags in the caves. There are a total of three entrances to this place, which are scattered in three hidden places in Cangling Town. No matter which entrance you enter, there is only one path to choose from when you first enter, but as long as you pass through some monsters, traps, and other levels, there will be more paths, and various rewards are distributed in the middle or end of these paths.
The pools where Sigh and Sorrow fall are, in theory, even players who can't swim can go ashore. The middle of the waterhole is deep, but it is getting shallower all around. Even if you hold your breath and sink to the bottom of the pool, and then walk up to the bottom, because the distance is not far. In addition, even if the player runs out of air and chokes on water, he will not lose consciousness, but his survival value will continue to be lost, and he will endure the drowning sensation simulated by the system for a certain period of time.
And if you continue to move forward from the road next to the waterhole, you will inevitably encounter a monster attack.
"Something seems to be coming...... "Listening to the strange sound in front of him, Xiao sighed and said nonsense again.
"I just wanted to ask you this." The sad spirit continued: "There are no plants on this rock wall, but the smell of fish in the cave indicates that some kind of animal is infested. The first part of the road we walked was tasteless, and the tunnel became wider here, indicating that the animal was probably very large and could only move around this section. As she spoke, she took out the MP5 from her bag, put her flashlight on the gun, and aimed it at the darkness ahead, ready to fire.
"Then let's run!" Xiao sighed, "Flee back to the narrower place than this passage, and it won't be able to catch up." ”
"And then?" The sad spirit turned his head and asked, "There is only one way to go, even if the waterhole is safe for the time being, but it can't get out." ”
"Hmm...... That's just as well. Xiao Si also took out his Winchester shotgun and loaded it.
In fact. If they escape back, it's also a way, anyway, in the script, the player doesn't have to eat, drink, and sleep, as long as they are not attacked by monsters, their survival is not threatened. When sunset arrives, the teammates find out that they haven't returned to the inn, so they naturally come out to look for them.
However, Feng Bujue didn't know what happened to Xiao Si and the sad spirit, and he couldn't have the concept of "these two people were trapped in some underground pit". He's more likely to deduce that the two were captured by NPCs or something. Therefore, even if they didn't feel that they were looking for the whereabouts of the two people from room to room, they would only roughly see if there were people in each empty house, and they might not be able to find the ground trap in the remote empty house.
In short, the countermeasures for escaping back to the waterhole. There is a high chance that no one will be able to spot them until the end of the script, which is the judgment of the sad spirit.
"It's coming, it's near......" said the sad in a deep voice, staring at the darkness. Both she and Sigh have E-level Scouting Specializations, but as a player with Shooting Specializations, her visual abilities are significantly better than Sigh's.
Xiao sighed and straightened the gun. Aim ahead and prepare to shoot.
Roar –
Another roar, mixed with a loud rumble, brought a car-sized giant monster into their sight.
The monster was so large that it was hard to see it in its entirety when it stood close. However, its skin showed a sticky and slippery glow in the light, revealing the outline of its back, which looked like a giant crocodile.
But the monster's head was slightly different from that of a crocodile, and it seemed to be closer to a canine. And the roar it made was like the roar of a bear.
Bang. The shotgun in Xiao Si's hand had already sounded, and at short and medium distances, this should be regarded as a fairly powerful attack, but at this moment, it failed to penetrate the crocodile's armor, and the shrapnel was at most embedded in the crocodile's back, unable to hurt the flesh and blood.
Almost at the same time, the Sad Spirit's MP5 began to pour fire, but her attacks were clearly more efficient and targeted, aiming at the monster's eyes and firing at regular intervals.
The crocodile knew that a shot in the eye would be very bad, so he opened his bloody mouth, shook his head to dodge, and continued to rush forward.
"Retreat!" The word "sorrow" is simple and clear.
Xiao Si also understood and knew that she was not saying "retreat", but "fight and retreat", so she shot while loading bullets, and walked back and attacked side by side with the sad spirit.
The monster was attacked, and although it was not damaged much, it could not be said that it was completely unaffected. In addition, in order to protect its eyes from attack, it constantly swings its head, and its crawling speed will naturally be affected to a certain extent.
As soon as the speed of the giant crocodile stagnated, Xiao Si and Sad Spirit became more comfortable, anyway, they all had long-range weapons in hand, and the ammunition was also sufficient, as long as they kept a distance of more than five meters, they would consume this monster to death.
The appearance of this monster is very powerful, and it is quite terrifying to come all the way in this narrow and dark environment. If the player really runs away with their back to it, then the sense of urgency to be chased is also very strong. However, this monster is actually not strong in terms of setting, and it is even easier to deal with than the demon tree that Feng Bujue and Qiyu encountered on the mountain.
Its speed is average, and it becomes slower with a little suppression; The defense is high, but the weaknesses are extremely obvious, and it is easy for the player to see through and concentrate the attack; The attack method is simple, it is a purely physical means, and its attack power may not be able to kill the player in one hit.
And most importantly, the surrounding environment has basically pointed out how to deal with it. Players who only have melee methods can choose to turn around and run away with all their might, and escape to the area where the monster can't chase it; And players who have long-range attack means, needless to say, use long-range weapons to delay their pace and fly their kites, anyway, this tunnel is just this place, and the target is big, and it is more difficult to hit than to hit.
In fact, if you knew the flag beforehand, it would have been easier to turn around and run away. Because the monster will eventually get stuck somewhere in the tunnel and lose the ability to move completely, it will be very convenient to kill at that time.
This kind of guided setting seems to make this battle too easy, but from a system perspective, it actually makes sense.
Hidden caverns like this, which obviously contain certain rewards or plot flags, are not likely to be routed to the player's death. If that's the case, it's better to design it to fall and die.
So, once the player has consumed two-thirds of their Survival Points and a certain amount of stamina in the first time they enter, the next battle will never be too difficult, unless it's a maddening nightmare difficulty......
Roar –
Sure enough, with another roar, the two people who had flown the monster's kite for five minutes were rather depressed to find out...... The monster chased after it, and then got stuck in a place where the rocks had retracted, and could not move. (To be continued)
