Chapter 44: A Sneak Attack from the Underground
Unconsciously, Fang Jin had stayed in the underground labyrinth for more than two days and two nights. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the darkness of the surroundings, where it is impossible to distinguish between day and night, the passage of time is greatly slowed down. Fang Jin even had a feeling that he hadn't rested for four or five days. The successive battles and the environment that could encounter mortal danger at any time made him mentally tense to the extreme.
It was as if the slightest sudden situation would break the string.
However, even so, the area he explored was still a drop in the bucket compared to the entire vast underground labyrinth, with only a small piece lit up.
"I have to go back and recuperate......"
When he struggled to kill an undead troll again, this realization flashed in Fang Jin's heart.
Although I know that a round trip will waste a lot of time, and there is a risk of being discovered and hunted down by the thunder soldiers, human will is not omnipotent after all. The rest of the unknown area can only be returned and explored......
Putting away the two magic gold coins that had fallen on the ground, Fang Jin returned along the same path.
Since the weaker undead monsters had already been killed when he came, the speed of going back was much faster. It was almost as he turned back to the previous fork in the road when his instincts suddenly felt something strange.
If it was outside, this inconspicuous intuition would be difficult to attract his attention. But in the dangerous underground labyrinth, Fang Jin had already experienced life and death risks more than once in the past two days, and was very sensitive to any inconspicuous signs. Almost immediately, he stopped his return and took a closer look at the spot.
In the field of vision of the goblin night vision device, everything is business as usual.
"Perhaps, it's because you're too careful?"
No matter how he looked at it, he hesitated, raised his vigilance again, and cautiously continued to move forward.
At this moment, the attack struck suddenly.
Not from all around, not from a monster like a ghost that can hide its body, but from underground!
Two dry but powerful bone claws suddenly burst out from under the ground and firmly grasped Fang Jin's feet.
"Not good!"
Realizing that something was wrong, Fang Jin reacted quickly and immediately tried to break free.
However, if the strength attribute does not reach a certain level, there is no way to break free of the bone claw in advance. He could only watch as the enemy who had unleashed his bone claws to bind him burst out of the ground.
It was a humanoid undead clad in tattered animal skins, with frighteningly long hands and legs, and thick and powerful bones. Challenge Level...... It's a red high-risk!
Get attacked by such a terrifying monster at close range!
Fang Jin's heart felt an unprecedented fatal crisis. He suddenly realized where the anomaly he had faintly discovered before had come from.
The color of the ground!
This undead monster that can burrow into the ground to sneak up on others, making the soil in the burrowing area slightly different from the other places. In addition, it was located in a dark cave, which caused a situation where even if Fang Jin deliberately observed, he didn't find any problems.
Trouble!
The undead's attack came quickly and ruthlessly, and with a single punch from the thick arm bone, it knocked out nearly eighty points of Fang Jin's health!
The three seconds that the bone claw was restrained, counting the time it took to break through the ground, made a total of three punches.
The drawbacks of the normal-level stealth skill are re-manifested here, even if Fang Jin immediately opens the Star Hidden Step, as long as the other party knows his location, he can still cause damage!
Just these inconspicuous three punches, Fang Jin's whole body skeleton was about to be scattered, and his blood volume plummeted to less than 100 points, which still had the damage reduction of the angry tooth leather armor and his own armor.
Thankfully, the time for bondage is finally over.
Fang Jin didn't hesitate, bypassing it and wanting to continue to escape towards the exit of the underground labyrinth.
A scene that surprised him appeared, probably because the difference in strength between the two sides was too large, coupled with the fact that the undead creature was naturally sensitive to the breath of life, this undead spirit actually felt his position vaguely. After chasing a few steps, the white light flashed on his body, and he actually jumped over more than ten meters, overtaking Fang Jin, and blocked his way.
If it drags on any longer, its bone claw skill may be cooled down......
Realizing that this guy really had the possibility of killing him, Fang Jin gritted his teeth, decisively turned back, and turned around again to escape into the maze.
The undead creature behind him seemed to be determined to kill this human, and they chased after it.
Its leg bones are long on its own, and its base movement speed is surprisingly fast. Fang Jin opened the acceleration of Xingyin's step, and he could only barely maintain the distance from it.
Not fast enough!
After almost being chased to death by Lei Bing not long ago, Fang Jin once again felt the importance of moving speed.
If you can get through this difficult time this time, you must find a way to get a boot that can increase the basic movement speed when you go back. Otherwise, if you have stealth skills but can't get rid of the enemy, it's too urgent.
In the dark and narrow passage, Fang Jin ran out of hundreds of steps.
It was about finally a little impatient, and the undead monster unwillingly stopped when Fang Jinxing's hidden step was almost over.
But it didn't mean to leave there, but wandered around for a while, and burrowed into the ground again.
Just on the way back to Fang Jin!
Having experienced the horror of this guy just now, Fang Jin didn't have the idea of turning back and facing it again. What if you anger this undead and chase after it?
After all, on that trip just now, this undead only needs to run for three or five seconds more, and he can wait until his invisibility is over.
Glancing at the only teleportation scroll in his backpack, Fang Jin hesitated a little. He was really reluctant to use the means of saving his life like this, and the price of the teleportation scroll was not cheap. But if not, God knows how long the guy blocking his way will leave.
Ordinary Warcraft, he still has the confidence to fight with the other party and be patient.
The opponent is the undead?
That's a race that wanders around one place for years and decades without doing anything!
If you don't want to try either of these methods, it seems that there is only one option left.
Detour!
The underground labyrinth extends in all directions, and the terrain is extremely complex. Fang Jin's location is relatively deep in the labyrinth, and there is no more way back to the surface. It's just that the road he marked when he came in was relatively the safest.
The risk of taking other unexplored paths is extremely high!
"That's it."
After being in a dilemma for a moment, Fang Jin felt that he still tried to take a detour to return. If you really can't hold it, it's not too late to use the city scroll.
So, after retreating to the innermost fork in the road, he gritted his teeth and chose the one that looked more spacious for the other two unknown entrances that led to nowhere.
However, after only a few hundred steps along this twisting and turning maze fork, Fang Jin felt that something was wrong. No matter how you look at it, the slope of the road is decreasing, and there is a clear path to deeper underground areas. If it leads to the surface, the terrain should be uplifted.
Fang Jin, who regretted it a little, immediately decided to turn around, ready to take the last unknown fork in the road.
But at this moment, in the dead darkness, there was a faint sound of rushing water.
