Chapter 103: The Valley of Fall
"No, four people can't fight......" Su Xing panted and ran to the door of the dungeon, looked at the boss who was slowly returning to the back and sighed and said, "Speaking of which, since it is a team book, the minimum amount of blood is set." Even if there are only four people, the boss is still twenty people's health, so even if you run out of mana, you can't kill it......"
"No, there should be a fight." Xia Chiyu looked at the back of the behemoth and said, "It's just that the blood volume is twenty people, and the attack power has not changed, so there should be a fight...... With our technology. β
"However, after all, it is the most difficult team in AO at the moment, and it is really difficult...... "Gu Qinyan frowned and said.
Reis nodded and continued to ask, "Does this boss currently have a strategy on the Internet?" β
"Yes, there is, but ......," Xia Chiyu explained, "Let's go, let's go over again, and I may understand it after explaining it to you specifically." β
The Valley of the Fallen in front of him is a gray and gloomy canyon, and there is a large amount of dark green slime scattered in the canyon, as if it is alive and gently wriggling, this is the creature called "Fallen", a virus similar to the Flesh Curse, which can turn infected creatures into Fallen Guardians, the entire mountain. The valley has thus become a place of evil.
Near the entrance of the dungeon are five passages, and there are no mobs.
And these five passages, the most spacious avenue in the middle was blocked by a huge monster composed of dark green slime, this monster was like an octopus, and a huge and hideous snake eye at the top stared at them, moving with them, and the claws below spread out, like tree roots piercing the ground, blocking the most passage.
The other four passages are unobstructed, and these four passages lead to the four bosses, and after defeating the four bosses, the monster will retreat back into the canyon and get out of the way. There will be the last two bosses on that road.
"The strategies of these bosses are very valuable, so many guilds have not fully disclosed the details, and everyone has retained their own know-how." Xia Chiyu said, leading the three of them forward, "Let's try another way this time, there is no mandatory boss kill order here, you can choose at will, in short, try the other roads first." β
So saying, they came to the second junction and walked forward for a short time. A staircase descends and leads to an underground palace in front of you, but strangely, this underground palace seems to be more like a canal, with ditches scattered throughout the map, and a wide road in the middle that is clearly a river spreads from the front.
"Do you think the boss will be the four elements?" Su Xing asked with a pout in the back.
"Since that boss just now isn't a fire monster, I don't think it should be." Gu Qinyan crossed his arms and said, "I think it's probably the key to some kind of puzzle solving." The channel here is also related to water, so there should be some kind of puzzle to solve. β
Xia Chiyu held his chin and said, "I think so too, but the strange thing is that we didn't seem to have any mystery solving when we went to the flame boss just now, right?" In other words, you don't need to solve puzzles to fight bosses. So it's certain that solving puzzles will definitely weaken the boss, why don't you try it......"
"Anyway, let's search around here first." Lacey said, drawing his sword and shield.
Although when you first enter the dungeon, you choose the intersection and it is a safe area with no monsters. But once you enter these four intersections, you will start to spawn monsters. They followed one of the three forks in the road in front of them to a platform, and the dark green slime around them suddenly boiled and bubbled. Then he transforms into a horde of lizardmen-like creatures.
"Let's get rid of this wave of mobs first." Xia Chiyu replied that although the boss blood volume of the team dungeon is calculated according to at least twenty people, the blood volume of the mobs is still calculated according to the number of people who enter the battle, so it is set to facilitate the team's exploration.
After cleaning up the little monsters, Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan continued to move forward, and after clearing out several waves of monsters, they came to a closed gate. This kind of cell door is very common in this dungeon, but there seems to be no way to open it, and Xia Chiyu feels very strange about this: it doesn't look like a sign of a dead end, but there is no obvious mechanism prompt.
"That's the case with high-level dungeons, there are no obvious hints to solve the puzzle, so you can only figure it out on your own." Xia Chiyu frowned and said, "This door must be able to be opened in some way, but how ......?"
"Maybe if you press the wall casually like this, the door will open?" Su Xing smiled, crossed his legs, and leisurely stretched out his elbows against the wall, but unfortunately there was no reaction, and the cell door was still closed.
"Wait......" Xia Chiyu said, frowning. Directly in front of the cell door, there were some very inconspicuous dots, which were almost invisible because they had been worn down by age, but they were connected in an inconspicuous line and spread somewhere.
Xia Chiyu raised his foot to wipe the dust off the ground, kicked the obscured stone slab away, and more dots appeared on the ground. Gu Qinyan said with interest: "Oh? With a sound, he followed the dot to a wall.
"Guys, stand back." Lacey said, standing in place and making a gesture of drawing his sword, and then took a small step forward, but did not draw his sword, but slammed the hilt of the sword against the wall with the momentum of drawing his sword, and a shockwave spread. Immediately, there was a soft thud, and the wall cracked, revealing a ball glowing with black metal behind it embedded in a hemispherical hollow.
The black metal ball was about a man tall, and if you looked closely, you could see that it was the metal ball that emitted energy and passed from the dots on the ground to the door of the cell. Although it is not obvious, it is possible to see that the dots on the ground are flashing with a very gentle black circle. If you don't stare at it, you can't see it.
"There it is! This should be it! Xia Chiyu said, stretched out his hand and pressed on the metal ball, stretching out the spiritual force field. A transparent shockwave spread, and the metal ball rolled out of the mechanism, "Bang dang! The sound rang out from the previous door, and the cell door was lowered.
"I think that at the previous fork in the road, the other two roads must have a way to get directly to the boss's location." Xia Chiyu sighed helplessly and said, "Ordinary people must go back to another road first when they encounter a dead end, right?" Then I found out that the road led directly to the boss, so I didn't look at the other roads. β
"That's why I said that some of the settings in this game are particularly nasty, and they are simply flouting the player's IQ." Su Xing said with some displeasure. "I dare to say that if those game makers didn't know in advance, they wouldn't have been able to pass the test themselves."
"Actually, I think there are a lot of people who have discovered these skills, but since you can pass the boss if you don't understand the mechanism, then this kind of little trick can be done without telling outsiders, right?" Gu Qinyan sneered, "If it were you, would you sue someone else?" β
Su Xing shrugged his shoulders and smiled evilly, "It depends on whether it is good to sue others...... Anyway, I don't know what the benefits are after solving the puzzle. β
Walking forward from this prison door, another wave of mobs was spawned. After defeating them, they came to an empty room.
"What the is this? After solving the puzzle, there is nothing here? Su Xing couldn't help but scold.
"No, there's a canal." Lacey said, pointing to the channel that connected from the ground to the back of the wall.
"But it can't seem to be destroyed." Gu Qinyan bowed down and drew his knife, and slashed at the wall in a circle, "Ping-pong!" There was not the slightest trace on the wall, not even a scratch. Xia Chiyu nodded and said, "Judging from the sound of this sound similar to perfect defense, it should be an indestructible object." β
Then he woke up and raised his hand to try, and a few thin black mist gathered from all directions.
"What are you doing? The monsters are all gone. Xia Chiyu was puzzled.
"Look, there's the same dot here." Su Xing said. Coming to the source of the black mist, he swept away the dust on the ground, and sure enough, a black dot with a faint glow appeared below, connecting to the back of the wall on one side.
"Yo? It's finally time for your abilities to come in handy! Xia Chiyu was surprised. I followed the point of light on the ground to the wall, but unfortunately the wall was not as shatterable as it had been before.
But looking to the right along the dots on the floor, I found another dot line that didn't emit a faint black glow like on the left side of the room. Follow this line that doesn't light up. They came to the other side of the wall, which had some not-so-obvious transparent cracks that shattered and collapsed after a few blows.
Behind this wall. What appears is a hemispherical hole, but there is no black metal ball as an energy source.
"Are you the same as I think?" Lacey asked curiously, and then the four of them turned back together and looked at the black metal ball that was used to provide energy for the closing of the cell door......
"Hey." With a muffled grunt, Lacey kicked the black metal ball into the hollow behind the wall.
The black dots of light spread along the dots on the ground little by little, connecting with the circle of dots on the left, "Kerala! The dull sound of the springs moving from behind the wall, followed by the rattling of water.
After a while, the clear water flowed down the channel behind the wall and disappeared into the channel behind it.
"Oh? That's how it works. Xia Chiyu suddenly said, "It's really a troublesome place." β
After knowing the principle, the puzzle was much easier to solve, and they walked back and forth in the maze for more than an hour, and the canals in this part of the maze were finally filled with water, and even the middle channel was now full of babbling water. And the four of them returned to the entrance of this maze.
"This path leads directly to the boss, right?" Xia Chiyu looked at the road in front of him and muttered to himself.
"It should be, but I don't know what the use of solving these puzzles is, and it doesn't seem to have changed, and the mobs that should be brushed are still brushed." Gu Qinyan frowned and complained, "I hope the boss will be weakened." β
Xia Chiyu looked at the water flowing in those channels, frowned and groaned.
"What's wrong, Master Mage? Do you have any ideas? Su Xing asked on the side, Xia Chiyu shrugged: "No, although it's just an idea, but, does anyone want to see the boss over there?" β
"Makes sense." Lacey said suddenly, "If the puzzle isn't to weaken the boss here, then maybe ......."
Until the final release, they didn't defeat a certain boss, but they did get more important information than that.
"Well, in general, there is no problem with the first four bosses, and as for the last two bosses, you have to wait until the first four are knocked out to know." Xia Chiyu frowned and groaned.
"You said you were going to help other guilds with this book in a few days, what's the matter?" Gu Qinyan asked beside him.
"Oh. I've told you before that I didn't come back because I wanted to play, did I? Because someone paid me to help, simply put, I was the commander to help them make progress, and then it was convenient for the guild to expand its power and collect people. Xia Chiyu explained, "Of course, I told them about you, and I have left a place for you, and you can come together if you want." β
"Is there a girl?" Su Xing immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, Xia Chiyu compared his middle finger and smiled: "Ah! It's just a big beautiful woman who hired me to help. Not only are the people super beautiful, but the family is very rich. It also has a high status in the guild. β
"Okay, I'll go." Su Xing simply agreed, and Reis smiled and said, "If the mage needs help, I'll go, I don't care." β
Xia Chiyu patted Lacey's shoulder seriously and said, "Ah! Come and help! β
"Ah, it can be ......," Lacey said after a pause, and then Gu Qinyan replied, "Where's the progress of their guild?" β
"Defeated three bosses." Xia Chiyu said simply, Gu Qinyan groaned: "Three...... Not bad, either. As the most difficult dungeon at the moment, rush for its drops and experience ...... I reluctantly agreed. β
"Tsk, death tsundere." Xia Chiyu muttered in a low voice. Then, without waiting for Gu Qinyan's reaction, he smiled and said, "Okay~!" So let's do this today, it's useless to fight this dungeon, go back to the guild, right? Didn't you say before that you want to add some defenses to your guild to deal with monsters that may come at any time to attack the city? β
Thereupon. Everyone returned to the guild through the teleportation array.
Pepe, who had just entered the guild and went to the warehouse to get the materials, greeted Xia Chiyu and said with a smile: "Eat fish, are you back?" Exactly. There's a girl ......."
Xia Chiyu had just reached out to Pepe to help her take the things, when a crisp call sounded, and then a thin shadow rushed into his arms: "Brother~!" β
"Brother?" Wake raised an eyebrow. The smile on his face was subtle.
Xia Chiyu was hit by the girl and flew backwards together, and the two fell to the ground together.
"Whose bear child is this? How do you not know the severity? I'm a mage, hey, look, you've knocked out ten percent of your health......" Xia Chiyu frowned and complained, looking up, a sweet and pretty face appeared in front of him.
This is a girl with waist-length hair with bangs, big eyes and a heart-shaped face, and a height of just one meter six, but because of her slender figure, she looks very tall and has quite delicate facial features, but her skin is probably not so fair because of too much sunburn, but she is still quite beautiful and natural. Seeing this girl, Xia Chiyu was suddenly surprised: "Xiaofei? β
"Hee-hee, brother! I've finally found you! The girl smiled happily and pulled Xia Chiyu to stand up, she was a real-name player, named Li Feifei, a sixty-ninth level assassin, but she used a bow and arrow, and she should have turned into an archer.
"Xiaofei, how did you find me?" Xia Chiyu asked puzzledly, "Also, I heard Sister Yang Yang say, didn't you go to Australia to study?" How to ......"
"I've been back, I've been back for a year, why don't you come back after graduating from college? I don't want to settle abroad, even though my mom would love to...... But I was tired of eating bread and salad all day abroad! Li Feifei said, and said with a happy smile: "I, I heard from an old friend of the Falling Moon Guild that you are back, so I came to look for you!" β
"Really...... What about you, Sister Yang Yang? She also knew? Xia Chiyu asked with a sigh.
Li Feifei nodded happily and said, "Yes, but now that she is traveling in Tibet, she said that she will come to you when she comes back." Brother, it's been a long time. It's been more than three years, right? β
Xia Chiyu sighed slightly and said, "Yes...... It's been more than three years, and you're twenty-two years old. β
Immediately, Xia Chiyu patted Li Feifei's head with a smile and said, "Okay, can you go and sit in the guild first?" I've got some things to do, I'll look for you in a moment, okay? β
Li Feifei had just left, and when she woke up, she smiled obscenely beside her: "What's going on, brother?" β
Xia Chiyu turned his head slowly, with a kind smile on his face, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes......
"Silly things when I was young.,It's a bit of a secondary two.,Recognize brothers and sisters everywhere.,It's like being surrounded by a group of people in the game and it's really popular.,Yes.,To escape the unacceptable reality.γ Xia Chiyu sighed with a wry smile.
"I can understand ......," said Su Xing with difficulty. Pulling out the thin sword that pierced his chest, "But you just say no, do you have to give me a sword?" What if I really die......"
Even Gu Qinyan smiled slightly, albeit with a sneer: "Oh? I can't believe that you actually have such a time in the second year of secondary school, hum......"
"I really don't want to be told by someone who is in the middle two." Xia Chiyu smiled, a green tendon beating at the corner of his forehead, "But I won't deny and escape my own past, because those naΓ―ve people will slowly mature." β
"Yes. Eating fish is too good. Reis patted Xia Chiyu on the shoulder and smiled, "So, that girl is your godsister you recognize on the Internet?" I like you very much, it seems like a real brother and sister. β
Her ...... The technology is not very good, so it has always relied on me. Xia Chiyu held his chin and fell into memory, "In the end, that day I suddenly showed kindness and helped the rookie players in the guild answer their questions." β
"It's like picking up a kitten from the side of the road." Su Xing said with a smile. At the same time, the conversation on the other side continued. Liu Yiyu and others sat down in front of the bar around Li Feifei and asked her about Xia Chiyu's past.
"What kind of person was you before eating fish? Is it popular in guilds? I just heard that there seems to be a person who eats fish and says that there seems to be a Sister Yang Yang? Xiao You replied with his chin on his side.
"Brother, it's amazing!" Li Feifei sighed happily, "Before our guild, it was actually a small guild with only a few dozen people. The establishment time is also very late, but my brother has only helped the guild catch up with the progress in a few weeks, and he is also responsible for helping to collect people and expand something, which is really amazing. It feels like he made this game! β
"Yes, that's exactly what it feels like." Pepe said with a wry smile, putting a cocktail in front of Li Feifei.
"That. What's the deal with his black gear? Zhang Zhiwei asked, and Li Feifei said angrily: "Impossible! Although I was already out of the country at the time of that incident, I don't know the specifics, but it is absolutely impossible! Brother, he has always been able to let his equipment go, and he would rather wear worse equipment than give it to his teammates who have improved greatly! β
"But...... He himself admitted it, oh, the black equipment. Liu Yiyu asked with some concern.
Li Feifei groaned a little embarrassed, and said, "This...... I also...... There must be some reason for him. β
Saying that, Li Feifei said affirmatively: "I know my brother, others are very good, you must know it too, right?" β
"That's right, if it weren't for him, our guild would still be a small guild with dozens of people, and the level would not exceed fifty." Cheng Ming smiled bitterly, "So I will give him whatever he wants, and it can't be black or black." β
"Hmmm! That's it! Li Feifei smiled happily.
At this time, Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan pushed the door and came in, and Li Feifei immediately greeted him with a smile: "Brother." β
"It's so sweet." Xia Chiyu patted Li Feifei's head, "By the way, you girl came to me this time?" β
"No, I just haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to come and see you." Li Feifei pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll go to your place to play with you when I have time, okay?" I'm graduating from college now, and my mom doesn't care about me anymore. β
"Uh...... Okay, as long as you don't come here and pester me to play the game. Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly.
"And there are," Li Feifei said with a smile, reaching out and pulling up the social page, "I'm withdrawing, brother, you can add me to the club." Now you can't be angry with me, saying that I won't accompany you when you go to the small guild. β
"I was a kid myself." Xia Chiyu sighed, stroked Li Feifei's long hair and said, "I'm really sorry at that time, I said so many childish things." β
"Hmph, yes. I really don't know if it's a brother or sister or a brother and sister. Li Feifei smiled sweetly, and was immediately invited to join the guild, "You will take me to play this book together in the future." β
"Hey, why did you forget this stubble, you girl has no ability to take care of herself at all in this game......" Xia Chiyu said helplessly, "Anyway, I'll try to find time as much as possible." (To be continued......)
