Chapter 123: The Valley of Atonement
Outside the valley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The sunset shines obliquely.
Ron scratched his head a little irritably, opened the door and jumped out of the car, threw the cigarette butt that was only half left on the ground, raised his foot to extinguish it vigorously, looked at the time again, and involuntarily looked towards the entrance of the valley.
At this time, nearly two hours have passed since Liu Minghao and the others left, and I don't know how long it will take for someone to appear, Ron frowned and took a deep breath hard, wanting to relax his tense nerves.
The few people who stayed behind knew the danger in the valley, and they had also seen the horror of zombies, and before leaving, they were repeatedly warned by Jiang Jie to keep as quiet as possible to avoid alarming the zombies and causing danger.
As time passed, the long silence made the nerves of several people tense more and more, and the occasional bird passing by caused a panic.
"Look, boss." A soldier suddenly reached out and tugged at the dazed Ron, and whispered.
When Ron came back to his senses, he heard a rough birdsong, and followed the sound to see several vultures hovering in mid-air on the rocky hillside to the northwest.
They stayed here for a long time, and they hardly saw a few living creatures, vultures usually eat carrion, and only when they find prey, they will gather together, seeing those vultures gradually landing, Ron's heart moved, and he tilted his head to the two people beside him, "Go over and have a look." ”
Two soldiers approached cautiously with their guns in hand, and one of them looked over, whispered in surprise, and beckoned to Ron, "Boss, it's Dr. Kenny." ”
Ron was slightly stunned, and immediately ran over quickly, not noticing the two figures standing in the dark on the mountain range in front of him.
Jiang Jie and the tattooed man stood behind a huge rock, watched the crowd below rush for a while, and carried Kenny to the car.
Before entering the valley, Liu Minghao greeted Ron, and as soon as he saw Dr. Kenny, he left to return to the safe zone.
Ron searched around for a while, but found no trace of Liu Minghao and others, so he took people away.
Seeing the gray-green military vehicle pick up a puff of smoke and dust and gallop away, Jiang Jie didn't pay attention to the tattooed man beside him at all, and turned around and jumped off the rock with an expressionless face.
Before that, Yexue arrived in time and activated the teleportation skill to take everyone out of the underground base and to the top of the mountain.
Liu Minghao was seriously injured, although he had taken the recovery potion before, and he also needed a little rest, Yexue finally forcibly blocked the little girl's attack, and he was also injured a lot, the short man had already woken up, but he had been looking sluggish, sitting on the ground with his head bowed, and Jiang Jie and the tattooed man could only send the unconscious Kenny out of the valley.
Liu Minghao sat on a rock, closed his eyes and recuperated, and the roar of the military vehicle gradually faded away, and he received the system prompt that the task was completed.
"Continuing with mission two, redemption. Done. ”
"2,000 reward points for the task and 3 points for basic attributes."
"Trigger a hidden quest to kill the HIO virus variant."
"Mission completion, elementary, minor trauma to the HIO virus variant."
"1,000 points for task rewards and 2 points for basic attributes."
Before being teleported, Liu Minghao saw that the little girl was as hideous and terrifying as a demon, and it seemed that Yexue's attack had caused a heavy blow to it, and it was only a slight trauma, so the strength of this virus mutation was simply unfathomable, if Yexue was one step late, or the teleportation array could not be launched in time, then what was waiting for them was the end of the entire army.
The gravel rolled, and hearing Jiang Jie's footsteps coming over, Liu Minghao slowly opened his eyes and stood up, "All gone?" Let's go, then. ”
"Huh?" Jiang Jie was originally holding back the fire in his belly, and was about to go over the old accounts with Yexue, when he suddenly heard Liu Minghao's words, he couldn't help but immediately widen his eyes. Stunned, "Where are you going?" ”
Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Jiang Jie's eyes as if questioning his IQ, "Of course we are entering the Valley of Atonement, our task has not been completed yet." ”
Jiang Jie immediately jumped up, "That's all before that." ”
Liu Minghao tilted his head slightly, reached out and tapped the watch on his wrist, interrupting Jiang Jie's words about to exit, "We only have less than 10 hours left, time is pressing, we must act as soon as possible, or are you planning to spend so much time here that you directly abandon the task?" ”
Jiang Jie's face changed slightly, if he failed this trial mission, although he would not be wiped out, the punishment of deducting all the points and props was definitely not something he could bear.
Completing the quest is the highest priority as soon as you enter the space, this is the only criterion that every trialist must imprint in their minds, and all those who forget this have already paid with their lives, proving the consequences of ignoring this criterion.
"That can't be ......" Jiang Jie understood what Liu Minghao meant, and he was still a little overwhelmed in his heart, and muttered unwillingly.
"There's nothing you can't do." Liu Minghao waved his hand casually, no longer paying attention to Jiang Jie's dissatisfaction, turned his head to look at Ye Xue, and motioned to the other party to lead the way.
Ye Xue's injury was basically recovered at this time, after Jiang Jie's tossing, she originally thought that Liu Minghao must get to the bottom of it, and she was ready to deal with it in her heart, but she didn't expect Liu Minghao to send Jiang Jie away so easily, and she didn't say a word about the matter of the underground base, as if it had never happened, which made her feel weightless when she punched the cotton, and she felt more and more unable to understand the other party's thoughts.
But this is naturally not the time to be entangled, Liu Minghao's words are not wrong, the Valley of Atonement is not so easy to break through, if you want to get the heart of a saint, you have to go through a vicious battle, and you really can't tolerate their delay.
"There are two entrances to the Valley of Atonement." Ye Xue gathered her thoughts a little and said, "The closest entrance to the Saint Temple is down there, and the other entrance is a little further from here, about 20 minutes away. ”
Ye Xue paused slightly, Liu Minghao didn't speak, just waited quietly for her to continue.
"If you go into the Valley of Atonement, I think the second entrance is the best option." Ye Xue stomped her foot slightly, "Although the front entrance seems to be the closest, it is actually full of dangers inside, and there are many formation traps, once trapped, it will be difficult for us to get out in a short time." Although the side entrance is a little farther away, it is extremely hidden, and there are no ambushes along the way, so as long as you destroy the undead creatures you encounter, you can reach the temple of saints. ”
"Really?" Jiang Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, "Don't let us go in, we still have to destroy any little boy to pass the level." ”
Yexue was slightly stunned, and was about to speak, but Liu Minghao suddenly said, "Lead the way, just enter through the side entrance, time is pressing, let's set off immediately." ”
Seeing Liu Minghao speak, Jiang Jie shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more, and Yexue breathed a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly.
The short man had been looking at the two nervously, for fear that the two would have an argument, and when he heard that he was about to leave, his face eased slightly, and he immediately stood up.
Night Snow led the way, and the group walked down the hillside, along a winding mountain road, quickly towards the southeast mountain range.
Twenty minutes later.
Everyone came to a towering rock wall, a huge crack lay halfway up the mountainside, and at the edge of the crack there was a gap nearly two meters wide, like the tail of a giant beast, hanging down and extending to the ground.
"From here, it's the entrance." Yexue jumped onto a boulder, looked carefully, and looked up at the top of the rock wall.
Jiang Jie and the three of them also gathered around, looking up at the bare cliff.
Liu Minghao walked near the crack, on both sides were smooth rock walls, nearly ten meters from the ground, there was a narrow platform, and in front of it was a dark hole that led to the inside of the cliff.
At this time, the setting sun was obliquely shining, and only the last rays of afterglow remained, and a dim glow shone near the entrance of the cave, as if it had fallen on the calm water, refracting fine pieces of light.
Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly, and outside the seemingly empty hole, there was an invisible barrier.
"That's a reverse enchantment." A cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Ye Xue didn't know when he walked to Liu Minghao's side, "The Valley of Atonement is actually the name of this mountain, once you enter it, it is equivalent to entering another space, and ordinary people can't see the existence of this entrance." ”
Liu Minghao knew in his heart that in the last mission, outside the entrance of the only path of the dead in Hamna Tower, there was also a reverse enchantment, which could only enter but not exit, but this was not a problem they needed to consider, as long as they got the scripture manuscript, they would automatically leave this world and return to space.
The entrance to the mountain wall was as smooth as if it had been cut, but it was not easy for the trialist to climb, and even the weakest short man could easily reach the platform above.
Liu Minghao grabbed the edge of the platform with both hands, bent his arms slightly, and with a slight force, his feet stepped on the narrow platform, and then jumped upwards and jumped into the hole.
Ye Xue and a few people followed, and soon entered the entrance of the cave, Liu Minghao took out a strong flashlight, and the bright pillar of light immediately illuminated the dim cave.
The cave space is long and narrow, there is no end in sight, and the four walls are uneven, but there are obvious traces of artificial excavation, and you can see a large number of remnants of complex lines like formations, which seem to have been violently destroyed by something and become unrecognizable.
"Because of the influence of the demon spirit, there are many undead creatures on the periphery of the Holy Temple, this section of the way, there should be no danger, passing through a cave in front, the second time can be regarded as truly entering the scope of the Valley of Atonement, you must be vigilant." Ye Xue took out a few pills, "The undead creatures here can devour the life force of living beings, try to be careful not to get hurt, this is the elixir of demon repellent, it can resist the invasion of the undead qi, and the time limit lasts for 3 hours, which is enough for us to reach the Holy Temple." ”
