Chapter 238: Hidden Mission

Just a few steps, a loud sound echoed in his ears, Wang Zhaolin raised the flashlight to shine, and saw that the original road had been completely blocked by the collapsed rockfall, so he had to go to another way, that is, to condense spiritual power, cast a flash step to jump over the suspension bridge, and walk along another mine road to the bottom of the pit.

The surroundings are very humid, with many abandoned wooden beams and oil tanks along the way, and at the end of the road there is a wooden gate chained to the right, and a steep slope on the left.

When he saw that he couldn't find a tool to pry the door nearby, he riveted his strength and walked to the left. At the top of the slope is a minecart parked on railroad tracks, and the downward pointing arrow is posted on the wall, and the deep meaning of it is self-evident.

So Wang Zhaolin pulled down the brake brake and used the gravitational acceleration of the minecart to crash open the door.

In addition to the sound of vehicles colliding, there was a strange scream in the air, which was terrifying.

When you hear it, it doesn't look like a human voice, and the one who attacked Yan Zhiyu was obviously some kind of unknown monster.

Wang Zhaolin lit the torches on the stone walls at both ends, and the debris-ridden mine suddenly became clear, and there was a retro storage box next to the elevator, and there was a group photo of the miners in the investigation, and the back read: This team blasted in the Northeast Mine in October 711 of the Yingxing Era.

The elevator couldn't work, so he had to find the power switch, so he shook his flashlight behind him, and saw an iron ladder on the edge of the cliff that extended to the mine, so he grabbed the handrail and climbed down. Unexpectedly, the ladder suddenly broke halfway, causing him to fall from a height, and he came across a corpse head-on, so frightened that he scolded, rubbed his abdomen, and struggled to get up.

The light source was full of bones from near and far, and it is not difficult to imagine the tragic situation at that time: the miners who were still working lost their lives before they could even notice the gas leak. He roughly counted the number of corpses, about 20 corpses, and estimated that at least nearly 100 people died in the mining disaster.

A mining disaster of this magnitude would have made headlines back then, perhaps before he was born, so it was not known.

Walking down the mine, there was another wooden door that opened with a slam in the center, and a scrawled line on the ground: If any one of us dies, the living can eat him.

There was no doubt that there had been "cannibalism" here, and he couldn't help but retch at the thought of the "terror pact" made by the surviving miners almost lose his grip on the slippery rock wall. Fortunately, he had some climbing skills to climb out of the mine and jump to the edge of the iron ladder.

On the other side of the pit he had been to before, there was a control room, and according to the prompts on the wiring box, he quickly found the power switch and flipped the switch.

There was a roar of machinery in the distance, and Wang Zhaolin crossed the suspension bridge, returned to the elevator room, and pressed the up button.

When the elevator stopped, the light from outside the cave passed through the stone hole, but the stone slope leading to the entrance of the cave was too steep for him to go up with a flash step, so he had to find another exit, next to the broken oil tank there was a mound with a cross buried, and next to it was a second and third ...... When he counted to the fifth, he gasped.

Yan Zhiyu's sword was stuck in it, and he himself was tied to a wooden cross.

Seeing this, Wang Zhaolin hurriedly untied Yan Zhiyu, but when he saw the other party's "woo", he screamed, as if he was reminding him to pay attention to something.

"Watch behind you!"

When Wang Zhaolin untied the strip of cloth, he realized that Yan Zhiyu was warning himself, but fortunately, when he turned around, the space-time abyss sword was in his hand, so he was not injured to the point, and in a hurry, he swung his fist into the monster's abdomen and struck hard, forcing it to let go, and then picked up the sword and used the Lianying Sword Technique.

But the monster moved too fast, and its skin was like a rock, invulnerable, Wang Zhaolin's attack did not work at all, it made a strange sound of "bang", and instantly attracted dozens of its kind, they had amethyst-like scales, grinning and crawling towards Wang Zhaolin and Yan Zhiyu, enveloping them.

"Oh my God, run!" Wang Zhaolin saw that the situation was not good, pulled out the sword on the mound and threw it to Yan Zhiyu.

Yan Zhiyu nodded in agreement, and hurriedly drew his sword to cover Wang Zhaolin, repelling waves of attacking monsters, taking this opportunity, Wang Zhaolin found a minecart located at the top of the slope, and beckoned Yan Zhiyu to evacuate quickly.

After Yan Zhiyu jumped onto the minecart, Wang Zhaolin quickly pulled down the brake brake and swung his sword to repel a monster that tried to attack them.

They used the difficult terrain to speed through the tunnels, or bow their heads to avoid rock walls, or accelerate over broken railroad tracks, and the monsters chased after them so tightly that Yan Zhiyu forced Yan Zhiyu to speed up to the top, but even then, they couldn't get out of the way. Wang Zhaolin was in a hurry, he pointed to a log hanging on the mine beam in front of him, Yan Zhiyu understood, and at the moment when the mine cart was about to rush into the tunnel, the two of them swung their swords at the same time to cut the rope that tied the log.

Only to hear a loud "rumble", the monsters were hit by the falling logs one after another, and fell into the abyss.

The light at the end of the tunnel fades to light, and when the minecart stops at the end of the track, the two hurriedly close the door for fear that they will chase after them.

Wang Zhaolin had to admit that it felt good to be lucky to escape.

Yan Zhiyu didn't see it that way at all, he gasped and burst into a foul mouth: "Thank you for coming to the rescue in time, otherwise I would have been eaten alive by them." ”

"Is this also part of our test?" Wang Zhaolin touched his chin and guessed.

"If that's the case, I'd rather not answer this question, in order to join the Langtian Adventure Group, it's not worth losing my life. Yan Zhiyu said, taking out the signal canister from his bag.

"Why are you going to give up?"

"No, someone can answer my question. Yan Zhiyu pressed the launch button of the signal canister, and a pale yellow firework burst into the sky.

"Each player only has one flare, what if you get into trouble again?"

As soon as Wang Zhaolin's words fell, the teleportation light gate appeared again, and the black-clothed masked man jumped out, looked at Yan Zhiyu in front of him, and said with a smile: "This player, I see that you are fine! Why do you send a distress signal?"

"Who said there was no danger, I almost died. Yan Zhiyu pointed to the car door behind him and shouted, "Didn't Mo Yi say that each player only needs to deal with the beasts, and what the hell is the monster hiding in the mine?"

"Congratulations to the two of you for discovering the hidden quest of the tryout, "The Crystal Monster of the Mingye Mine": five points will be added for each crystal monster you kill, and if you can kill all the crystal monsters, your chances of winning will be greater!"

Yan Zhiyu was bored with the man in black, and sneered: "Don't make up such high-sounding reasons, I won't listen to the instructions of the Ziwu Mo family." ”

"I'll just say it once, believe it or not. The man in black suddenly said in a deep voice, "The Forest of Purple Mist is actually the territory of the Crystal Monster, and there is a curse circulating here......

"Ahh Wang Zhaolin smiled knowingly, and honestly he was impressed by this way of telling stories.

"Shut up—" The man in black coughed, touching the mask on his face, "As long as someone is forced to eat their own kind in this forest, the purple mist will mutate him into a monster." ”

"Is there any way to deal with them?" Wang Zhaolin asked.

"More than fifty years ago, the reporter of Haojun City interviewed more than a dozen survivors of the Mingye Company's mine disaster, and it didn't take long for them to all be infected with unknown strange diseases, in order to treat them, the city lord of Liang You built a sanatorium in the forest. The man in black took out a map from behind him and handed it to Wang Zhaolin, "This is the location of the sanatorium, if you want the answer, follow the map to find it." ”

Wang Zhaolin took a cursory look and took it to Yan Zhiyu to share it with him.

"Go on your own, I'm not going to go with you. ”

"Let's go together! If there are many people, there will be a response. ”

"Why are we competitive, and if you don't eat anything in the forest, I'm afraid it will ......" Yan Zhiyu licked his lips and grabbed Wang Zhaolin's shoulder.

"Brother Yan, don't be scary, okay?" Wang Zhaolin broke free of Yan Zhiyu's hand, "Whatever you want, I think you should try to get these extra points." ”

"So—I'll go first, good luck!" Yan Zhiyu said, waving his hand, and walking towards the dense forest in the distance.

Seeing that Wang Zhaolin hadn't left yet, the man in black kindly asked.

"One more thing I'm curious about, is the proprietress of Tiangong Cottage also related to this selection competition?"

The man in black straightened the ends of his hair and said with a smile: "What's the matter! Play well, don't think too much." ”

"I hope the organizers will not increase the difficulty, there is a limit to patience. Wang Zhaolin stretched his muscles and walked in the opposite direction of Yan Zhiyu.

After Wang Zhaolin walked away, the man in black immediately ripped off his mask and revealed his true face, it was Lin Yaoxi.

"The rules of the tryouts are up to us, and if you can't stand it, you can quit, right, cousin!"

This is reasonable, it is difficult to join the Langtian Adventure Group by luck alone, and it depends on personal ability. A man in black walked out of the light gate, this person was Song Zixi, "I didn't expect you to be recognized so quickly, Wang Zhaolin is really a talent." ”

"Since you admire him, why don't you make him our partner?" Lin Yaoxi followed Song Zixi to the car door.

"Let's observe a few more days, judging from his performance in the Qishui Dragon Palace, he does have this qualification. Song Zixi put his hand on the door and asked Lin Yaoxi to push the door with him to a position just enough for one person to pass through.

"We didn't discuss it with my aunt, what if we kill someone?" Lin Yaoxi clapped her hands clean and put on her mask again.

"If you want to be a good adventure traveler, you have to be prepared to put your life on the line, don't you?"

Lin Yaoxi nodded and returned to the Light Gate with Song Zixi.

The teleportation door disappeared in a few seconds, the lawn on the hillside squirmed, and the monk Pei Qiu appeared from behind a tree.

He happened to pass by the outer edge of the mine just now, and was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he hid here, the man and woman behaved strangely, why did they have to open the door halfway? What was hidden inside?

Not to mention, this teleportation spell is unfathomable, and can only be cast by placing an enchantment outside the entire Purple Mist Forest in advance, and these two people are here to make things difficult for the players at first glance, perhaps there are countless traps in the mine, and they deliberately pull the car door in order to create an illusion that the mine has been abandoned for a long time.

Although he didn't want to be taken lightly, his innate desire to explore tickled his heart, and he paced back and forth in the woods until it was getting dark, and finally made up his mind.
