Chapter 102: The Underworld II
As the Sky Dance girl said, Otherside Town, a large town located on the border of the underworld, is shrouded in sand and dust all year round, and it is difficult to find its trace. However, the beings that survive here are neither necrons nor demons, they are genuine human beings, to be precise, they are the descendants of humans who have strayed into the underworld.
Within the Underworld, all living beings have a long life, even the human race that lives on the edge. After tens of thousands of years of reproduction, human beings have gradually gained a firm foothold in this desert desert, but they are subject to the orders of the 'king', they cannot enter the inner realm of the underworld for life, and they are not allowed to get the right to live. The harsh environmental conditions have constrained the expansion of the human population, and to this day, there are only seven human settlements in the entire continent, and the town of Heterobian is one of them.
Traveling in the desert is not an easy task, due to the system's complete restoration of the player's physiological state, coupled with the harsh climate and the relentless scorching sun, after about four hours, everyone has been losing strength and urgently needs to be hydrated.
"But there's water in this place?" Bu Ling looked at the raised scenery in the distance that looked like a small town building, but it turned out to be just a mirage, "And it took four hours to cover five kilometers, are we sure that our route is not wrong?" ”
"The sign does say five kilometers to the west, and judging by the position of the sun, we should be in the right direction." Thor gasped for breath, even his strong physique could not stop the fatigue caused by dehydration.
However, Zhen Shifeng frowned, covering his forehead with one hand to look at the sun in the sky, and the other hand stroking his chin as if thinking about something, and suddenly exclaimed: "Maybe we were wrong from the beginning, it is true to judge the direction according to the position of the sun, but this is the underworld and not the earth, I am afraid that all common sense must be changed." As he spoke, he pointed to the sun in the sky again, his expression was slightly solemn, "Since just now, I have observed the position of the sun every ten minutes, and with the virtual scene in the distance as a reference, its position has not changed at all in two hours, in other words, this thing is not the sun in our impression at all, and it must be wrong to judge the direction by it." ”
Brother Feng's explanation really surprised everyone, everyone fell on the sand like a deflated ball, only the man in sunglasses still stood upright and calmly drank the water in the cup.
"Ah, hey, you guy actually eats alone behind our backs, I can't bear it!" The already dry mouth hurriedly snatched the sunglasses man's water glass, but accidentally knocked it directly to the ground, and the last trace of life-saving water turned into a wisp of steam and completely disappeared into the air.
"Ah, hey, I'm embarrassed to say that others eat alone, I think you did it on purpose, right?" Thor struck the hurried girl on the head, and the latter had to stick out his tongue and shrug his shoulders and smile as if he were cute.
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on the man in sunglasses again, and the man in sunglasses shook his head, very helpless, "That glass of water was accidentally put into the space backpack in the last script and forgot to take it out, it was a coincidence, and I definitely don't have the rest." ”
The hope ignited by the ".................." was shattered again, and this time everyone really fell on the sand and could not get up again.
The most dangerous of the six is the Sky Dance Girl, whose health is constantly decreasing at the moment, and her physical strength is only about half. But compared to these innocuous data, it is the physical and psychological pain that is the most torturous. Fortunately, with the company of Bu Lingdu, Tianwu's mood gradually stabilized, but it is not a way to hold on so hard, and everyone will definitely GameOver within a few hours.
"Am I hallucinating, why do I always feel like the ground is shaking?"
"Eh, me too, the sun in the sky is jumping around, it seems that even my brain is about to evaporate."
"It's all hallucinations caused by dehydration, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will ............"
"Illusion of wool, look at the soles of your feet!" Thor suddenly roared, and everyone who woke up realized that it was not a hallucination caused by dehydration just now, and the ground was really shaking, "Quick, rush out of this area!" ”
However, it was too late, a huge whirlpool suddenly formed in the center of the sand, and its suction force made it impossible for the six people to move forward at all, and then there was a loud bang, and a huge figure gradually flashed in the center of the whirlpool.
This is a powerful underworld beast, shaped like an octopus but covered in black scale armor, the ends of the limbs are spread out like sharp knives and saws, and rows of sharp teeth are attached to the bloody mouth at the top.
"Roar~~~" Just the roar caused a violent storm to roll up around, and in an instant, the sand waves were horizontal. In the face of the underworld beast in front of him, Bu Lingdu, as a novice, is simply a cannon fodder-like existence, and the others have also become weak and powerless due to excessive dehydration, so it seems that only Thor can hold up the scene.
"It's better for you to keep your strength to deal with those boss-level monsters, and I'll deal with this kind of unpopular thing!" The man in sunglasses decisively stopped Thor who was about to step forward, but he put his right hand on the space backpack, and his eyes became colder and colder.
"Brother, you ............"
Before Thor could finish speaking, I saw the man in sunglasses wave his right hand violently, and in an instant, a dark green sword qi came out, as if the momentum of opening the world caused the earth to tremble violently. The Underworld Behemoth seemed to feel the monstrous murderous aura in front of it and turned around in fright and drilled straight into the sand, but it was cut in two on the spot, and the piercing blood instantly stained the entire sand.
In response to that old saying, my friends and I were all stunned, even the well-informed Thor had never encountered such a trick against the sky, and he could directly kill the powerful Underworld Behemoth with just one blow, I am afraid that it would be difficult for him to do it.
"Damn, this guy is deeply hidden, just by this trick just now, his strength is no less than Thor!" Zhen Shifeng and the hurried girl were surprised.
"It's just my skill, don't be surprised, not to mention that there is still thirty minutes of cooldown, there is nothing to show off, and regular battles have to rely on Thor." The man in sunglasses said modestly and then found a rock and sat down.
At this point, others don't pursue it too much, after all, the strength of the skill cannot be equated with the strength, at most, it can only be regarded as this kid's luck to get a skill with low use conditions and extremely powerful skills, otherwise his name would have already been on the combat power rankings.
The threat has been eliminated, but the danger posed by water scarcity has not been abated in the slightest. Just when everyone was at a loss, they saw Zhen Shifeng pick up the water cup that fell to the ground, and then walked towards the corpse of the giant beast that had been cut in two, and then ............ I took a cup of the blood of the giant beast and drank it all.
"Tsk, ah, it tastes pretty good, aren't you going to have a drink?"
This scene really scared everyone enough, especially the two girls couldn't look directly at Brother Feng's perverted behavior. However, if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the only thing that can quench your thirst at the moment, and if you drink it, you will only be nauseous for a while, and if you don't drink it, you must GameOver, choose one of the two, and finally Thor decided to take the lead in drinking a cup.
"Sure enough, there is no fishy smell, and it feels like wine."
Bu Ling Jue also took a bite with guts, "Not bad, it looks terrifying, but it tastes unique." ”
After tasting a glass of sunglasses, the man still replied expressionlessly: "Well, it's okay." ”
"Look, I'll just say it's fine, then............ Would you like to join us and other vampires in the feast of blood? ”
