Chapter 42: Trapped
"I'm telling you, if we don't do what this note says, our characters may really not get out. Unless, of course, death rehearses. Xia Chiyu said, walking towards the depths of the temple, "Anyway, let's take a look at the situation first, considering that there are two ways to get out, maybe it would be better for us to act separately." What do you guys think? ”
"Let's go separately, this is not a copy anyway, it's better to go out as much as possible." Gu Qinyan said lightly.
Lacey asked, "Does Master Master bring a glamping tent or something?" How long does our food last? ”
There is also satiety in AO, and if you don't replenish food in the game, the character will reduce its stats until it dies, but this process is very slow, and it takes about a week to starve the character to death.
"Don't worry, it's going to be enough for us to get out of this place, and we'll talk about it when the hunger debuff is out." Xia Chiyu said, turned around, crossed his waist and asked, "Then, grouping, right?" Which of you is going to solve the puzzle and who is going to fight the boss? ”
"I don't solve mysteries." Gu Qinyan immediately said, Xia Chiyu sneered: "So every time you hunt for treasures, you kill monsters?" I'd like to know what your clearance rate is. ”
“82%。” Gu Qinyan replied lukewarmly, and then he raised his hand and smiled: "I don't want to solve the mystery either, I'll fight the boss with Your Excellency the Swordsman, right?" ”
Xia Chiyu looked at Reis, who smiled expectantly: "Ah, then let's go solve the puzzle, Master Mage?" I've always loved the puzzle mode in scavenger hunts. ”
"Oh? Is it? Let's go. Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows, "By the way, what is your success rate?" ”
"Oh...... I've only cleared the game in monster fighting mode, and I rarely succeed in solving puzzles. Lacey said as usual.
"Hmm......" The expression on Xia Chiyu's face suddenly became subtle.
The four of them marched forward in the temple, and it was safe to start this section, there were no monsters and no mechanisms, and after walking for a while, although there were two forks in the road in front of them, there was no way to clearly distinguish which side was the puzzle and which side was the monster.
"Well, it's up to luck. Choose one. Xia Chiyu said, bowing slightly to Gu Qinyan, "Lady first." ”
"Die." Gu Qinyan said coldly, then walked to the road on the left, shrugged his shoulders awakely, muttered "Male left, female right", and then followed behind Gu Qinyan.
Xia Chiyu then walked to the right side of the road with Reis. Although the place was brightly lit, the torches could not illuminate all the tall temple corridors, and there was only a deep darkness behind and overhead.
Not to mention the fact that the walls and ceilings are still dripping with mucus that seems to have melted human skin and muscles, adding to the eerie atmosphere here. The soft sound of "popping" kept ringing from the front and back of the hallway, and it seemed to be the sound of dripping water.
"Master Mage...... Reis whispered, Xia Chiyu nodded: "Ah, I noticed." ”
Lacey took the giant shield behind his back and the one-handed sword at his waist into his hands, and Xia Chiyu also slowly pulled out his staff and thin sword. The sound of those water droplets was closer to them, and then Xia Chiyu turned around sharply and threw a fireball at the darkness.
Something frightening happened, on the path of the fireball's flight, there were some spider-like creatures composed of human bones, and in the shadows of the ceiling and walls more than five meters wide, there were about thirty such creatures, cursed bones. After being discovered by Xia Chiyu, they "wailed" wildly.
But in fact, this wail was nothing more than a crazy collision of their upper and lower jaws, making a "snapping" sound of chattering teeth, and then they pounced on Xia Chiyu and Reis one after another. Xia Chiyu immediately raised his staff, but Reis had already blocked in front of him, standing the giant shield on the ground, and shouted: "The king's protection, justice!" ”
A circle of golden light spread from Lacey's shield and pushed forward, smashing the cursed bones apart, the light burning the bone spiders like blazing sunlight. Seeing this, Xia Chiyu immediately stabbed out the staff, pointed out six points of light in the air, and connected them into a six-pointed star array, and then Xia Chiyu raised his staff and aimed the six-pointed star at those monsters.
"Six stars break through the sky, light rain!" Xia Chiyu shouted, and a large number of light points flew out of the six-pointed star array, and after hitting the first batch of cursed bones, they immediately bounced towards the other cursed bones, and continued to bounce between them. These monsters are all undead creatures, and light spells have attack bonuses to them, plus this is a high-level spell, which directly beats these monsters to residual blood.
"Execution sentence, piety!" Lacey's long sword slashed, and a ray of light shone from the top of these cursed bones, and the shadow of a knight standing majestically with a sword in both hands appeared in the light, and raised the long sword in prayer, and those cursed bones shrouded in light were immediately greatly damaged, scattered into white bones all over the ground, and the rest fled back into the shadows.
"There are so many monsters, is this the monster room we chose?" Xia Chiyu raised his foot and kicked away the white bones that were blocking the road, and muttered to himself. Lacey put the shield on the ground, propped it up with his hand and said, "Really? It's a shame. ”
"Anyway, let's move on." Xia Chiyu said and took a step forward, at this time, the floor under his feet suddenly made a crisp "click" sound and collapsed, Xia Chiyu only had time to make an "ah-oh" sound, and the floor under his and Lacey's feet disappeared completely, and a red tornado sucked the two of them in......
On the other side, Gu Qinyan and Su Xing were being chased by a huge creature of more than three meters, this monster had no skin, red muscles and meridians were exposed, similar in size to a dog, but without a head, it bloomed like a flower from its neck, and it was full of hideous ring-shaped sharp teeth, moving extremely fast. The ID "Flesh Dire" on the top of the head has a golden five-pointed star border, indicating that it is a boss-level monster.
"Hell, that monster can't be killed!" Su Xing scolded angrily, raised his hand to the flesh and blood dinosaur behind him, and dozens of chains suddenly extended from the shadows in the corners of the walls on both sides to entangle the flesh and blood dinosaur, but in an instant, the flesh and blood dinosaur broke free from those chains and continued to chase after it.
"Bondage is also ineffective!" Su Xing scolded again, and simply ran forward with his head bored. Gu Qinyan glanced back and said, "I'm afraid this monster needs some special way to kill, otherwise it will regenerate infinite health, in short, let's get rid of it first." ”
As he spoke, Gu Qinyan burst out with a fighting spirit, and rushed forward several times in a row. Seeing this, he also turned his body into a black mist, followed behind Gu Qinyan, and shook off the flesh and blood dinosaur behind him.
After a while, a gate appeared in front of them, and the two of them pulled it open and rushed in.
As soon as he entered the door, he woke up and closed the door, and then pushed down the two totems by the door with all his strength and pulled them towards the door.
Gu Qinyan didn't help on the side, just stared at Su Xing for a while and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Don't you need to ask!? Shut the door, of course! Su Xing said breathlessly, pulling the pillar to the door and blocking it horizontally, "Don't you know that there is such a door-blocking mechanism in AO?!" ”
"Of course I do." Gu Qinyan said with a flat face, and pointed to the door, "But this door is open outward, and when you came in, didn't you find that the door was opened instead of pushed?" ”
"Hmm......" Su Xing suddenly raised his eyebrows, the scene fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
After a while, Su Xing suddenly said righteously, "Let's hurry forward, maybe there is some mechanism ahead that can help us defeat this monster." "As if nothing had happened.
Gu Qinyan didn't say anything, just followed after the awakening, and ran towards the other side of the temple together.
"I finally understand...... Xia Chiyu whispered as he hid in a corner with Reis, a huge skeleton more than seven meters tall slowly walked through the corridor behind the two of them, until the skeleton disappeared into the corner in front of him, Reis whispered, "I wonder what Master Master understands?" ”
"The puzzle ...... this place," Xia Chiyu said with a sigh of relief, "It is connected with the mechanism of fighting monsters." We've come across two monsters so far, one is the troll skeleton and the other is the visceral demon. Both of them are level 70 boss monsters, and it is absolutely impossible for us to beat them now, but do you remember the magic circle we encountered before? ”
"The one with the human skeleton sitting cross-legged inside?" Lacey continued to ask.
"Yes, I think that circle is linked to the troll skeleton, and as long as you destroy that circle, you can weaken the power of the troll skeleton so that you can defeat it." Xia Chiyu nodded, "There must also be a magic circle corresponding to the visceral demon." ”
"So that's ......" Reis said suddenly, Xia Chiyu held his chin and groaned, "I remember that a line of words was engraved on the ground in front of the magic circle just now, 'The white bones that have lost their bodies can no longer feel warm'......"
"What do you mean?" Lacey asked with a frown.
"This, right? One of the items I just picked up near the circle, the 'Soul Candle'. Xia Chiyu pulled up an item in the inventory and looked at it, "Look, it says 'It can give a warm fire to the cold soul'." There were candle tears burning on the five points of that pentagram circle, and I think there must have been four more candles in that room. ”
"I see! You're so good at eating fish, these details are actually ......," Lacey couldn't help but sigh.
"It's pretty ordinary, haven't you played any other puzzle games?" Xia Chiyu frowned and asked, Reis just smiled bitterly: "I've played, but I haven't played guò......"
"Then I wonder who gave you the courage to choose puzzle mode with me?" Xia Chiyu asked angrily.
