Chapter 152: War of Atrition
Huang Meng only then knew that this was the first chance of life left by the system to the player, to put it bluntly, this is indeed a bit of a trick, if the player does not have extra [water avoidance beads], wouldn't it be equivalent to ending the dungeon journey in advance. Besides, even if the players have extra [Water Avoidance Beads], it may not be enough, because no one knows how much [Water Repellent Beads] need to be consumed to reach the end of the maze.
In other words, even if there is no boss in the maze at the end and there is no need for the player to fight, it will also require a lot of consumption, even if it is not a medicine, it is also a full war of attrition. If Huang Meng hadn't specially prepared a bunch of [Water Beads] when he came today, he would definitely have been pitted by the system.
Of course, even if it was Huang Meng, he didn't have many of these beads, after all, he needed to kill a large number of beach monsters, and besides, some of the beads were given to Huang Meng by players in the gang, otherwise Huang Meng wouldn't have been able to get these beads. Therefore, Huang Meng was reluctant to consume these beads like a waste.
But no matter what, Huang Meng has to take that step, knowing that he has to consume it. Again, what comes is safe.
So Huang Meng confirmed the system message and consumed a [Water Repellent Bead], which really made Huang Meng a little painful, because he didn't know how much more he needed to consume before he could get to the end of the maze, in case he consumed all the beads he carried, and still couldn't get out of the maze, wouldn't it be a big joke to come here today.
System Message: Consume [Water Bead] x1, and restore the initial value of the fog concentration in [Kanshui Array].
Sure enough, as soon as the system message fell, the visibility around Huang Meng was greatly improved, and he could see more than 10 meters away.
This time, Huang Meng didn't dare to waste any more time, and strode directly to the three-way intersection. However, this time he did not throw the gold coin to choose the direction, but used the gold coin as a mark and threw it on the intersection he had walked. In other words, if Huang Meng takes the wrong path at most twice, he can find the real way, and by looking at the gold coin marks on the ground, he can rule out the wrong way.
He would definitely consume a lot of gold coins by doing this, but Huang Meng had no choice, it was much more cost-effective than consuming [Water Beads], and Huang Meng was not short of these gold coins now. If he could, Huang Meng could use the drug to make a mark, but if the medicine was thrown on the ground, it would soon disappear. So replace it with junk equipment? That's not good, because no matter how garbage the equipment is, it is more than the value of one gold coin, so Huang Meng thinks it is more cost-effective to throw gold coins. What's more, Huang Meng didn't have too rubbish equipment on his body at all, because the equipment that was lower than the blue quality Huang Meng had no interest in picking it up at all.
In this way, Huang Meng turned on the acceleration skill
Huang Meng ran quickly, keeping an eye on the road he had walked and the gold coin marks at the intersection. I silently thought in my heart that I must not make a mistake, otherwise the gold coins and beads will be lost in vain. At the same time, Huang Meng also thought that this copy was estimated to be a solo copy, even if other level 25 players came, they would not be able to enter in a team, otherwise if a group of people came in and compared the route answers with each other, wouldn't they be able to get out of the maze lightly.
Yes, Huang Meng did guess correctly, this [Kanshui Array] is indeed a solo dungeon, and it cannot be entered in a team, which is completely different from the previous [Fire Separation Array]. The [Fire Formation] may be able to be won through the guò crowd tactic, but this [Kanshui Array] can only be completed by a single player. Of course, it must be a very wise player, perhaps a relatively "rich" player like Huang Meng.
It can also be said that [Kanshui Array] is a benefit given by the system to individual players, those who have money can use money to pass guò, and those who don't have money can also pass guò by thinking about it on their own. On the pebble path in the Kanshui Labyrinth, the colors and order of those stones are different, as long as you find the rules in them, you can successfully clear the level, and you don't even need to make marks like Huang Meng.
As for Huang Meng, he didn't have the patience to study the specific method of cracking the maze, so he could only choose to solve it with money, although this method was stupid, but it was one of the ways after all.
It's just that Huang Meng seems to have miscalculated a little, he thought that he could find the real road by throwing at most two gold coins at each three-way intersection, and if he went on like this, it wouldn't take dozens of gold coins to reach the exit of the maze. But Huang Meng used gold coins as a mark while running, and it was not until he threw nearly 100 gold coins that he could get out of the way, and finally ran to the end, and there were no more three-way intersections. There was only one road in front of us, and it was no longer a cobblestone path, but a path paved with fine yellow sand.
"It's finally out! It's not easy to really tm, it took 3 [water beads] to consume, and more than 90 gold coins to get here, I hope the system doesn't play tricks, and there is a fork in the road not far away. Huang Meng naturally walked up the yellow sand path to himself, leaving one footprint after another behind Huang Meng.
This can't blame Huang Meng for complaining, because he really should complain. These more than 90 gold coins are equal to a few hundred yuan, not counting the value of those beads. In other words, Huang Meng has already invested at least a few hundred yuan in this copy before he has passed through it. Coupled with the value of those beads, maybe thousands of RMB have been smashed into it, and if he continues to play like this, even if Huang Meng has some funds, he can't stand it. It's not that you spend too much money, but that you spend too much pain. And so far, I have only seen the investment, and I have not seen the return. Anyone else will feel distressed, not to mention Huang Meng, who has always been more economical.
There were more and more footprints on the yellow sand path, and Huang Meng walked farther and farther until the surrounding fog disappeared.
Huang Meng finally came to the last treasure of the [Kanshui Array], but it seemed that Huang Meng had to make a little effort.
I saw a huge shell about two feet or so lying at the end of this yellow sand path, and it was not difficult to guess that this guy was the ultimate target.
【Millennium Mussel】
Rank: None
Durability: 1000 points
The mussel, whose body has long since died, is left with an empty shell, but it seems that something is sealed in its shell, and it needs to be broken to get it.
"That's it." After Huang Meng finished speaking, he raised his long sword, cut it, and cut it again. You don't need any skills, just a normal attack, the durability of this shell is limited, and Huang Meng's weapon is of dark gold quality, and it won't be long before it can be broken.
It seems that this shell is the last difficulty set by the system, in order to prevent those who have money, but their own attributes are very rubbish, in order to prevent them from being opportunistic. In other words, not only do you need to have money, but you also need to have a certain amount of strength. Otherwise, if the player comes in, it is only level 25, and the other attributes are all whiteboard studio trumpets. If they can get this copy for money, then what's the point, it's no different from other garbage games.
Bang! Bang!
Huang Meng slashed at the hard shell with one sword after another, although it was a little shocking, but Huang Meng could only do that. Fortunately, the durability of the shells is rapidly decreasing, and cracks are gradually appearing on the surface of the shells.
It didn't take long to pass, finally
Click
The huge shells were torn apart, and shards were scattered everywhere. Seeing that there was something shining behind the fragments, Huang Meng did not hesitate, and walked forward directly, picked it up and held it in his hand to check, and sure enough, it was it.
【Gossip Fragment】Kanshui
The magical fragments produced in the Bagua Labyrinth can be used to create dark gold quality equipment at the blacksmith shop in the city, or after collecting the entire set of fragments, you can awaken the sleeping demon dragon, and kill the demon dragon to obtain the rich treasures of the demon dragon's collection.
At this time, the surrounding qiē slowly disappeared, the scene began to change, and Huang Meng returned to the gossip platform in the crystal hall, and there was still the path with the word kan written in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that Huang Meng was still holding the Kanshui fragment in his hand, Huang Meng would even wonder if he had been to the Kanshui Array. This is a side effect of virtual games, which can make it difficult to distinguish between real and fantasy at some point. Of course, that's what makes virtual games so fascinating.
The current Huang Meng suddenly felt a little aggrieved, and he really wanted to find someone to fight, that three-way intersection maze really almost drove Huang Meng crazy, if he didn't have enough gold, he might even give up that copy. Such a complicated and cumbersome copy is really annoying. But fortunately, Huang Meng still got through guò after all. Although I didn't get the XP reward, I still got the gossip fragment after all.
So Huang Meng really wanted to find a place to vent his battle feelings, but he couldn't choose other maze formations lightly, or it was more reliable to choose the [Leaving the Fire Array] that he had been to, at least that dungeon had been there once yesterday, and the chances of clearing the customs were greater.
In this way, Huang Meng circled around the gossip platform for another half a circle, came to the path with the words written on it, stepped onto the high platform in a few steps, and after getting the system prompt, he directly entered the [Fire Leaving Array] without hesitation.
In [Leaving the Fire Array], it was still the last time Huang Meng came here. There was rubble everywhere, and salamanders that littered the hills.
So Huang Meng hurriedly ran around and looked for the hidden cave according to the coordinates of the last time, but when he arrived at the designated coordinates, he did not find the cave.
It turns out that the system set this cave is
Sure enough, after Huang Meng ran around taking medicine for a while, he finally found the low entrance to the cave, although the coordinates were different, Huang Meng could easily recognize that it was this cave.
I saw Huang Meng rush through the encirclement of a salamander and rush into the cave. Although it is inevitable that he will be bitten by a salamander, he must rush into the cave, otherwise even Huang Meng will not be able to withstand it. Because the endless salamander didn't have to wait for Huang Meng to consume how much medicine he could consume before he could solve Huang Meng. Although the medicine Huang Meng was carrying now was better than the last one, in the face of the boundless sea of fiery red, Huang Meng knew that it was better not to take risks.
In this way, Huang Meng began to kill in the [Fire Separation Array], and finally came out with the evil breath he had when he was in the [Kanshui Array]. Anyway, now that I'm in a cave, those salamanders can't rush in too much at once, so it's cool to kill. Although these salamanders will not provide Huang Meng with experience points, they will also make Huang Meng feel secretly refreshed.
