As we walked deeper into the cave, the air became more and more humid and stuffy, and the ground became muddy and slippery.

As if thinking of something, Phoenix suddenly reminded aloud: "There is one thing you must remember, don't think that the player has not yet come, we are absolutely safe, and be more careful with those awakened people who have entered the dungeon, don't believe other awakened people casually, if you meet, if you don't know each other, the best way is to walk away." ”

The royal sister's heart moved, and she asked in a low voice, "Among the awakened, will they also kill each other?"

Phoenix said in a somewhat angry tone: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and there are always some people who regard other awakened people as competitors and want to kill them quickly."

"But shouldn't the Awoken unite against the players?" Lori asked, frowning.

"Not everyone will think this way from you, there are always some people who think that although our world is a developed game, a considerable part of it should be a microcosm of the player's world, for example, as the leader of this world, human beings, should be created based on the leader of the player's world, and our historical myths and so on may be adapted from the history and legends of their world."

If this inference is correct, then it is possible that the game system of our world is copied from the setting of our world...... It's a bit tongue-in-cheek, can you understand? Speaking of this, Phoenix asked helplessly.

"I can probably understand, that is...... Is it possible that the settings of the various online games that have been created in our world are the same according to some of the settings of our world created by the development team? Lori bit her finger and said slowly.

"Yes, although there are many kinds of online games in our world now, basically, they all have one thing in common, you know what it is?"

Just when Lori and the royal sister were still thinking, a silent and flat voice slowly came from the front: "Member, charge money, buy equipment." ”

"That's right, according to the speculation of some awakened people, as players, when they enter our world, participate in dungeons, and experience the game, it is entirely possible that there will be a recharge system, and by recharging something similar to money, you can get points, which can be used to buy some high-level equipment, high-level pets, and enhance your own strength."

"Compared to players who can directly obtain equipment in this way and improve their strength, our awakened ones can only get some points by clearing dungeons, or kill players and grab some equipment."

"Think about it, those players only come when the quest is opened, so, on weekdays, the awakened want to become stronger, what should they do?"

"Therefore, there are some people, in order to pursue profit and strength, and set their sights on the same kind of awakened people, killing people and grabbing equipment." Phoenix said hatefully.

"If you say that, isn't there anyone in the copy who can't be trusted in the future? Originally, I had to fight against the monster attacks in the dungeon, and I had to be careful not to be discovered by the players, but now I had to beware of other awakened sneak attacks, which was too difficult to survive. Lori whispered.

"This kind of thing is the same everywhere, since some of the Awoken kill each other, then, maybe those players are the same." Silent chuckled.

"Yes, I heard from some old people that the players are indeed not monolithic, and it is said that some player teams will even invite the Awakened to join their team!" Phoenix said with a smile.

"The team of players invites the Awoken? Is this possible? Aren't the tasks of both of us different? Some are even opposites, so how do you accomplish the task together? The royal sister asked in surprise.

"You forgot? Team Rules. ”

Silently, he said lightly, "As long as you join the team, then whether this person is an awakened person or a player, he will not be drawn into the dungeon alone, so naturally he will not be issued a task alone, as long as the team task is completed, it will be fine." ”

"That's the truth, but I've only heard about the existence of this kind of team, and I'm not sure that there really is such a team." Phoenix whispered.

"Well, don't think about that, whether or not such a team exists, it doesn't matter to us."

"And we seem to be at the end of the road." Bu said with a faint smile.

In front of everyone was a wide underground canal.

The mountain walls around the river are bare, and when you look inside, the river meanders with no end in sight, and the occasional rustling of the wind is heard.

And where the cave meets the river, there are also several small boats.

The four men stepped forward, silently lifted a small boat with one hand, and laid it on the river.

The boat is very similar to the one often seen in TV dramas, with a leaf-like shape, pointed ends, wide middle, and two oars hanging from the hull.

Silent sat in the middle of the boat, rowing alone with the oars, rowing deep into the river.

The phoenix is in front, and the Gongkou sisters are behind, guarding everything in the river.

......

This underground river is winding and has many forks, which can be described as extending in all directions.

Although it was extremely dark in the river, the four of them did not use any lighting equipment to prevent some unknown creatures from coming to mind.

Fortunately, it is a zombie body, and it can be seen more clearly in this dark environment.

Bu Si rowed the boat alone, the boat slowly moved forward on the river, but it was not too laborious, and he did not choose when he encountered a fork in the road, because there was a flow in this underground river, and it was good to control the boat to go with the flow without saying a word.

When the boat came to the entrance of a wider river, Bu Su suddenly stretched out his arm, grabbed the rock wall, stopped the boat, and said in the team channel: "Be careful, there is a situation ahead, Lori, visual chains." ”

The visual chain is Lori's exclusive skill, which can link the vision of any four people within a radius of ten miles to achieve the effect of visual sharing.

Lori nodded slightly towards Bu Si, and after a while, except for Bu Si, the three of them were stunned by the scene in front of them.

In the field of vision of the three of them, on the river beach a thousand meters ahead, a black python coiled its body into a ball like a mosquito coil, like a piece of black strange stones, standing on both sides of the riverbank.

"Why are there so many? Both sides of the river bank are densely packed, and it is conservatively estimated that there are hundreds of them. Lori said with a pale face.

"Compared to this, I am more curious about how far is the limit of silent vision, in such a dark, without a trace of light, it is incredible that even objects from a thousand meters away can be seen clearly." The phoenix muttered.

"Compared to your abilities, my little eyesight can only be regarded as pediatric."

"Now the most important thing for us is how to get through here, and it has been observed that there are at least hundreds of pythons on both sides of the river. I'm afraid this copy is even more difficult than we imagined. Silent and low.

"What is certain is that it is definitely not possible to row by boat, and it is impossible to row at least three thousand miles without alarming these giant pythons."

"We can fly over, my ability is telekinesis manipulation, and I can control the four of us to fly over the river." Phoenix whispered.

After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice: "You can try, but there is still a danger of being discovered, after all, the height of this cave is only more than ten meters high, and it is difficult to guarantee that you can hide their induction and fly over directly without being discovered." ”

"And what do you mean?" Phoenix stared at him silently and asked.

"I mean, in a moment you control Lori and the Royal Sister to fly with you, and I make a noise in the water to attract the attention of these pythons......"

"No, it's too dangerous, are you sure you can deal with these pythons alone? You're only B+-level strong. Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the royal sister on the side interrupted.

"After listening to me, I don't want to face these pythons alone, but with your help, I want to kill them as much as possible."

"What do you mean?" Phoenix asked, frowning.

"It's very simple, as you said before, unlike the players, we can only earn points by participating in dungeons, or wait for the players to come and fight them. It's too slow to improve your strength like this. ”

"So, I want to complete as many extra tasks as possible in the dungeon to get more rewards."

"Take the copy I participated in before as an example, it's just a survival dungeon, and the system prompts that there is only one task, which is to live and live until the end of the dungeon."

"But as I kill monsters in the dungeon, after the dungeon ends, the system will give extra points according to the type and number of monsters I killed, so I thought, instead of sneaking around, I should try to kill these pythons."

"It's easier to kill these pythons than to fight against the players."

After the three of them looked at each other, Phoenix said slowly, "Tell me about your plan."

"My plan is very simple, I will make a noise in the water to attract the attention of those pythons as much as possible, and then the three of you will place a bomb on the roof of the cave to detonate the cave and cause it to collapse, so that not only can you cause the most damage to these pythons, but also cause the effect of blocking or delaying the movement of the pythons, killing two birds with one stone."

The phoenix's silent eyes were very complicated, and after a while, he said solemnly: "There are several explosion points, and my telekinesis control range is only less than 100 meters, so when we plant the bomb, it may take at least fifteen minutes, during this period, you will be very dangerous, you may die, and we can't take care of you." ”

"Otherwise, forget it, it's too dangerous, let the phoenix directly control us to fly over, and there is hope that we will not be discovered, even if it is discovered, everyone can escape together, it is safer than you dragging these giant pythons here alone for fifteen minutes." The Miyaguchi sisters on the side dissuaded.

"Don't worry, my physique is a little special, there is no sign of life on my body, as long as you successfully set up the bomb and leave, if I dive to the bottom of the river without making a sound, these pythons will not be able to find me." He said with a smile.

Hearing what Bu Yu said, the three beauties immediately focused their attention on Mo Si, and sure enough, they didn't hear the sound of heartbeat and breathing on him. You must know that as an awakened person, the body has been strengthened by the foundation, if there is a heart, even the heartbeat sound ten meters away can be heard clearly, and now that the silence is in front of them, they can't hear any breathing heartbeat, so they gradually believe the silent words and start to prepare.

"I redeemed thirty Gauss bombs in the system, which can be detonated by my mind, and will notify you through the team channel when we have planted the bombs, and when the time comes, you will lure these pythons to their current location and hide themselves, and when you come to us, we will detonate the bombs." Phoenix gritted her teeth and whispered.

Silent and unchanged, he nodded.

At this moment, there was a sound behind Bu Su and the others, and a modified boat gradually appeared in their sight.

"Go ahead, there's an idiot to help." said with a gloomy face.

The three phoenixes also changed their faces, and then floated out of thin air, sticking to the top of the cave, waiting quietly.

At this time, the small boat also sailed over, and after a few glances, it turned out that the team had a total of 6 people, four men and two women, and they installed an engine in the back of the boat and used it as a motor boat.

When the boat rushed into this wide river, the rumbling sound echoed in this closed cave, and silently saw that the pythons thousands of miles away seemed to be frightened, and they stood upright, and then suddenly went down into the water and swam towards the boat.

"Do it!"

Hearing the words coming from the team channel, the three phoenixes did not hesitate and quietly flew into the distance.

At this time, the boat also came to the side of the silence, and a burly awakened person standing at the bow of the boat looked at the silence, and then shouted loudly, "Newcomer? ”

He smiled faintly at him, didn't speak, turned his head and stared at the bottom of the river silently.

"Boy, what about Lao Tzu talking to you, are you deaf?"

The burly awakened man shouted in a very arrogant tone: "Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, give you a chance, join our team, be our little brother, and we will protect you to complete the copy, how about it?"

"It's not good, Lao Tzu has no intention of messing with the dead."

As he spoke, he jumped hard under his feet, then turned over his hand and took out a silver spear, and inserted it into the mountain wall, with his arm and waist, the whole person sat on the silver spear, quietly looking at the river below, the dozens of shadows that were swimming rapidly.

Hearing this, the burly awakened man's face changed, and just as he was about to say something, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the river, opened its bloody mouth, and bit his head fiercely.

This guy's reaction was also extremely fast, and with a wave of his palm, a big knife suddenly appeared in his hand and slashed at the python's head.

With a roar, a little python blood splattered onto the burly man's body, and then he heard a scream from the big man, only to see that the place where the python's blood was splashed was black gas, violently corroding.

With the rapid spread of the black qi, the naked body of the burly awakened person decayed at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, but in just a few tens of seconds, there was not even a trace of flesh and blood left in the corrosion, only a skeleton remained, and it fell into the river......
