The first thing that appeared here was a novice task, and Han Du saw that there was a text introduction on it: Welcome the host to receive the task for the first time, given that the host is a novice on the road, the system randomly selects a low-difficulty task for you.

Please arrive at the northern outskirts of Guqing City before 8:30 tonight, there is an abandoned tunnel, the host needs to enter the tunnel on time at 8:30, reach the end of the tunnel and return safely to the entrance of the tunnel, the time limit is 15 minutes.

Hint, this task is low difficulty and carries certain risks, so please take it seriously.

Han Du was silent after reading this information, as a native of Guqing City, he knew about the abandoned tunnels in the northern suburbs.

At that time, it was still the period of the Great Leap Forward, Guqingcheng organized a large number of manpower, opened the mountain and blew up rocks, to dig a tunnel, introduce the water from the next big river into the tunnel, and build a power station, but due to the lack of scientific demonstration of this plan, the tunnel was only half dug and was forced to stop, and many people died.

Now it is deserted, few people visit, and some people have happened to see a huge python infested at the mouth of the tunnel, and it is pitch black, thicker than the mouth of the bowl.

Guqing City belongs to the mountain city, has a long history, surrounded by mountains, this kind of sighting of the python rumors is not uncommon, there are many places of interest, famous mountains and rivers exist inside and outside the Guqing City.

Faced with such a seemingly low-difficulty task provided by the system, but in fact it was life-threatening, Han Du was still a little difficult to accept, if it weren't for the system that really existed in his mind, he really wouldn't take this task seriously.

What to do now, Han Du wants to form an expedition team, and he must undergo these tests, but he is really a novice on the road, and he has no experience in exploration, and in case of danger, he doesn't know how to deal with it at all.

At this moment, Han Du suddenly noticed that there was a line of reward at the bottom of the task bar: once the host completes the task on time, he will receive a reward of 10,000 yuan for expedition funds.

"10,000 yuan?"

Han Du liked this very much, and felt that the reward of the system seemed to be deliberately luring him to the bait, because the two-month rent arrears of this two-story small building were exactly 10,000 yuan.

But he thinks that things are a little unreliable, do you system say that you will send money? Where did you get the money?

"Host, please don't doubt the Explorer King system in your heart, as a high-dimensional technology, I can do anything on Earth."

Han Du's thoughts in his heart naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the system, and when it said this, Han Du said: "What you said is easy, do you have a bank account on the earth?" Even if you have an account, do you have a deposit? ”

"If the host doesn't believe it, I can advance a part of the expedition funds to reward you, and if the host fails to perform the mission, the advance amount will be forcibly recovered."

As soon as the words of the system mechanic were finished, the mobile phone on Han Du's body rang, and a reminder appeared.

Han Du opened his mobile phone and found that there was an extra entry in the payment software, amount: 250, payer: Adventure King System.

Looking at this amount of money, Han Du seemed to feel the system's deep resentment towards him.

At this moment, Han Du didn't believe it, and immediately said happily: "Okay, for the sake of the expedition funds, I'll set off!" ”

Han Du is mainly to understand the immediate urgency, the rent is 10,000 yuan for two months, and if he doesn't pay it, he will be swept away by the landlord Ye Jianguo.

Although Han Du has his own home nearby, which can also be used as a station for the expedition, but after all, the home is the private territory of the residents, and it is better to separate it from the expedition, and an expedition team must have its own base camp.

Han Du prepared a little and went out.

He found a pair of long black rain boots on the first floor to put on, because there was water in the abandoned tunnel, and then found some flashlights and lights that Uncle Li and they didn't take away.

The light is a simple lighting device that can be fixed to the stone wall, the light is not as bright as the flashlight, and the electricity can only last for half an hour, which is a kind of disposable equipment that will be used during the expedition.

It was dark outside, and Han Du had already gone out at half past seven o'clock, and there was still almost an hour before half past eight as stipulated by the system, so he found a shared bicycle outside and immediately set off to the northern suburbs of Guqing City.

Riding along the familiar streets, Han Du left the city after half an hour.

There were cars coming and going on the road, and no one noticed the young man riding a shared bicycle.

When he arrived at the outskirts, the abandoned tunnel did not appear immediately, because the area of the suburbs of Guqing City was not small, but Han Du could already see a big river more than twenty meters wide, which was the one that was ready to drain into the tunnel back then.

Han Du rode on the shared bicycle, stopped on the bank of the river and looked at the direction, according to his memory, the abandoned tunnel was in the vague mountain opposite, shaped like a huge monster lying there.

It's just that there are different river banks, there are no street lights, and the surrounding terrain is uneven, so the car under him can't ride it.

So he parked his bike in the grass on the side of the road and rode it out when he came back.

If he stops on the side of the road and is ridden away or thrown into the river by some immoral person, if he comes back alive, he can only take the "Eleventh Car" back.

Han Du took out the flashlight he brought from his body, and stepped directly into the farmland by the river embankment with the help of the light, muddy all the way. However, Han Du tried his best to avoid the crops, and it was a lack of virtue for the crops that the farmer had worked so hard to grow was trampled on by him.

In the dark night, Han Du finally walked out of the farmland, and walked into a vast field of weeds, where some broken stones could be seen everywhere, which were scattered here when the mountain was blown up.

Han Du walked in here alone, even if he had a flashlight, it made him nervous all the way in the dark, after all, he didn't have as many adventures as his parents, and his courage hadn't been trained yet.

At this time, there was a sound of rustling in the nearby grass, and I don't know what creatures were moving there, and there was a faint long whistling sound on the blurred mountain opposite.

Han Du could hear that it was a wolf howl.

He looked at the Blurred Mountain with a worried expression, and had to admire that the ecological balance of Guqing City had been restored well over the years, and even the wolves that were almost extinct in the past had returned.

"Oops!"

Suddenly, Han Du, who was groping his way forward in the grass, shouted, and one foot seemed to have kicked something hard, and it hurt a lot.

He threw himself on the ground, the flashlight flew out half a meter away, and the whole person was surrounded by darkness at once.

His heart tightened, and he hurriedly crawled over to pick up the flashlight, looking at the bright light, and his heart was a little more stable.

Then he looked at the place where he had fallen, and it turned out that a long horizontal stone in the grass had tripped over him.

"It's just a stone, not anything else."

Han Du was even a little lucky, he was most afraid of encountering some beasts here.

Han Du glanced at the long horizontal stone a few times, and was about to continue walking in the direction of the abandoned tunnel, when he suddenly noticed that there was a long, honeycomb-shaped, light gray thing next to the horizontal stone, looking at the length, it was estimated to be more than ten meters long, like a thick long rope.

Observant, he immediately crouched down, picked up a piece of honeycomb and looked at it, but he was suddenly startled and threw the honeycomb thing away.

Because in the dark, he suddenly discovered that the thing in his hand was not a rope at all, but the skin shed by a python more than ten meters long.

He couldn't help but think of the rumored big python, which was pitch black and thicker than the mouth of a bowl.
