Chapter 384: The Night King's Sorrow (1/4)
Wailing Canyon, Cave. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nana was behind him, so whose arm was he just touching?
Van Knos only felt that his pores exploded, and cold sweat covered his back, and he almost had the urge to turn around and run wildly.
'Peng' Link lit a light spell, and a faint light lit up the cave slightly.
In the dim light, Link saw two round-eyed faces full of horror, one was Fanknos and the other was Malinda, the Jobian girl.
As for Nana, he was still the same, and the black cat, he was curled up in Nana's collar and licking his paws leisurely, as if everything that happened outside had nothing to do with him.
Look around again.
This cave passage is already very spacious, 15 meters wide, more than 4 meters high, the ground is full of gravel, not far from the left front there is a huge semicircular rock more than three meters high to block everyone's view, the top of the cave is a large number of spike-like stalagmites hanging upside down, in front of it are two black and secluded passages, one of which has a passage on the right has a wind blowing out, making a strange sound of 'woo woo'.
"No..... Nothing to do? But I had just touched something, soft, and it seemed to be a little warm. Fankonos wept with a sad face, his body leaning against the stone wall, his dagger in both hands, and put on a defensive posture, only in this way could he have a little peace of mind.
'Poof~' Link lit the magic light again, he lit a total of three, three fist-sized balls of light emitting a milky white soft light flew out, one of them stuck to the head of Fanknoth, one stuck to the top of the cave, and the other turned a corner and flew behind the boulder in front of him.
Suddenly, this space was illuminated, and there was no dead end left.
Van Knos was much more at ease, and he took the dagger, and moved little by little towards the boulder, which he thought was the only possible hiding place behind the boulder, and if the creature he had encountered really existed, he could only hide there.
He was ready for battle.
One meter, two meters, three meters, and then two meters behind the rock, here, Fankonos experienced a rush forward, and after landing on the ground, he was the first to roll quickly, the man was already behind the rock, and he was still half-crouching on the ground, with the dagger horizontal in front of him, left and right on guard.
If there was someone hiding behind the rock, he would rush out in such a way that he would not be attacked.
"What about people? What about people? Still no one? Vankonos felt like he was about to collapse.
The cave is so big, and the only hiding place behind this rock is not here, so what the hell did he just encounter?!
"Fankonos, no..... It can't be your delusion, right? Malinda asked in a whisper, curled up on Nana's back, eager to shrink her body.
Van Knos was also not confident, he looked down at the ground around him, if that guy really existed, there should be his footprints on the ground, so he also began to suspect that he had just felt wrong, because there were no footprints on the ground at all.
"My lord, are you aware of anything unusual?" Van Knos felt that he might have been too nervous and had made a mistake, which was a really low level.
Link hadn't spoken since he lit the magic light, he was carefully observing the traces around him, and by this time, he had already noticed some unusual clues.
"You're right, you should have touched something, look here." Link said, pointing to the middle of the rock.
Fankonos looked over, just more than two meters high, there was a small scratch, the trace was still fresh, depending on the situation, it was going to the depths of the cave.
"It should be able to fly, but when you accidentally touch it, it is also startled, and it flies away immediately, and it makes no sound when it flies (see nocturnal birds, such as owls, which are almost inaudible to the human ear when flying), and perhaps the sound is very small, muffled by the sound of the wind in the cave on the right."
As he spoke, Link put away his magic and kept the last one glued to the top of Vanknoth's head.
He continued, "If my guess is correct, there must be something unusual in this cave, and what we just encountered should be a detecting sentinel. ”
In the game, such a sentry is called a 'Night Sentinel', and is a trained bird endemic to the Howling Canyon, and once a Night Sentinel is found in a cave, it means that there must be a copy of it in the cave.
If Link is not mistaken, the copy in front of him should be called 'The Night King's Sorrows'.
Due to the relatively small detail of the map in an enclosed space such as a cave, the situation in the cave in this reality is almost exactly the same as in the game, especially the appearance of the familiar semi-circular boulder in front of him, which immediately confirmed the speculation in Link's mind.
After knowing that it was this copy, Link breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but there was also a hint of pain.
The reason is very simple, the final boss in this dungeon, the Night King, is not particularly powerful, but the passing mechanism of this dungeon is very, very perverted, and if you are unlucky, it can make people want to break their heads, and even burst their brains.
The name of the quest is Night King's Sorrow, but if you don't get it right, it will become the player's Sorrow.
In the previous game, he came to this dungeon about 100 times, and each time he racked his brains to clear the level, just to brush a double mount dropped by the Night King.
After he swiped it, Link immediately swore that he would never come to this perverted place again in his life, but now that he came to reality, he actually went back around.
On the other side, as soon as Fankonos heard that there was a sentry, he scratched his head and said, "Lord Lord, there are two roads ahead, where should we go now?" ”
"To the left, the windless one." Link said.
"Ah~ There is wind on the right, which means that there is an exit." Van Knos was puzzled, he liked to take risks, and he still knew these basic common sense.
Link had already walked towards the hole on the left: "The wind on the left is not naturally generated, this is a wind elemental magic, I can feel that this way will definitely be a dead end in the end." ”
In fact, Link couldn't feel it at all, in his opinion, this wind was completely no different from the natural wind, and the reason why Link knew it was because he had been trapped.
This is the first place where 'The Night King's Sorrows' first tricked people, and those players who open up the wasteland saw that it was so dead and silent on the left, and the wind was constantly blowing on the right, and instinctively felt that there was something on the right, so they went all the way to the right.
As a result, they will be led around the underground labyrinth of mountain paths by this abominable wind, and they will encounter a large number of wind elemental monsters along the way.
Walking to the right, the final result is generally two: First, the player accidentally attracts too much wind element and is beaten to death by the group. Second, being dizzy in the maze and unable to find a way out, in this case, there is basically only suicide to return to the graveyard to resurrect (the game does not have Hearthstone).
In the end, those who can get out of this maze are either those with extremely high IQs, or those who are unlucky and can buy lottery tickets.
There are novices and veterans in this pit, and Link is ready to deal with the trap laid by the Night King.
Link's words were still very reliable, and since he said that the right side was a dead end, Fanknos walked to the cave on the left without any suspicion.
"Wait, we've left some traces."
With that, Link walked to the right entrance, his wand pointed forward, and a magic light appeared, flying all the way to the depths of the cave.
One of the peculiarities of magic is that it has a very, very long range.
Its magical energy structure is restrained and very stable, and once it is built, it will begin to release light steadily, and will not be extinguished until the magic energy is exhausted, and the whole process does not require the mage to expend energy to maintain its existence.
This results in its extremely long range, which is basically capable of shooting magic through as long as it is in sight.
Link controlled this magic light technique to fly along the cave, swaying and swaying, and flew more than 200 meters before sticking to the stone wall.
He explained, "This magic light technique will last for three minutes, and a large amount of magical energy will be released during the whole process.......
Before he could finish speaking, the black cat poked out its head and said, "Then, the demon leader will chase in, and finally enter the labyrinth, meow, Link, you are so sinister, I like it." ”
Link shrugged his shoulders and acknowledged.
He has some admiration in his heart, this black cat is worthy of a god, and he knows the structure of the cave at once, of course, although this guy has a cute appearance, but his character is very indifferent in nature, for freedom, he can sacrifice everything, just look at what he did.
Link always guarded it.
When Van Knos heard the two of them say this, he became more and more distracted, and under the guidance of the magic light above his head, he took the lead in walking towards the depths of the cave on the left.
He walked in front, and Link cleared the trail of their walk behind him, like a fox sweeping away the snow, clearing all traces of footprints, magical breaths, smells, and so on.
The journey was fairly smooth, and there were no unusual situations.
The further he went, the more spacious the cave became, and after about five minutes of walking, Link suddenly felt a movement in his heart, and as he followed, he heard a loud 'bang' coming in from behind him.
"That's?" Fankonos paused.
Link was slightly surprised by the result: "My magic gate has been breached, it seems that that demon lord is really powerful, and he can only fool him for so long." Don't panic, let's keep walking. ”
After walking more than 100 meters, a magic door emitting a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in front of it, and a sentence was written on the door with magic runes: 'Mortal, what is the biggest lie in life?' ’
Below this sentence are three options: love, power, money, and finally a space.
There is also a note below: want to enter the door, answer the question.
Link sighed, this is the place where the first pit veteran is, in the previous life game, countless heroes and heroes were brought back to life by the death of this magic gate pit. (To be continued.) )
