Chapter 6: The Labyrinth (3)

After having dinner together, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain walked around Hatsuba Castle together and exchanged views on adventure.

Time passed little by little in the walk, and it was ten o'clock in the night. At this time, most of the players had already rested, and Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain walked out of the gate of the East Ward on the contrary to the others.

This, of course, has something to do with the task that the two of them set out to do.

A mission is a purposeful action, and if it is carried out in daylight with a good view, it will inevitably be noticed by someone with a good intention. In order to avoid some trouble, the two specially chose to go out of the night.

"This way. As soon as he stepped out of the city gate, Hinata Nayin shouted Li Mengxi from behind. The latter naturally turned, while Hinata Naine was already walking towards a shadow under the castle roots.

With a hint of puzzlement, Li Mengxi followed.

Hinata Naine stood still in that shadow, turned around and saw Li Mengxi standing face to face with him nearby, and couldn't help but show dissatisfaction because of the difference in his comprehension.

"Hey, you don't have to carry it yet!" she said, a little angrily, with a finger at her finger.

"Huh?"

After a brief period of confusion, Li Mengxi finally realized what Hinata wanted to do. She was going to change into a combat uniform, but even then there was really no need to hide anything.

"There's no need to do that. The dressing system is instantaneous, I can't see anything. ”

"Less nonsense, let you carry it!"

"Alas. With a light sigh, Li Mengxi had no choice but to turn around, even so, Hinata Nain was still not at ease.

"No peeping!"

"I can't see it. ”

The conversation was closed, and while Hinata Nayin was changing her clothes, Li Mengxi also operated her own props library and selected an item called "Wolf Whistle". When a wolf-headed flute materialized in his hand, the sound of "Okay" happened to come from behind him.

So, Li Mengxi turned back.

Sure enough, Hinata changed into the blue female swordsman suit she wore in the afternoon, and the leather sword pouch on her left waist contained a high-speed narrow-bladed sword.

"Let's go. While habitually tidying up her appearance, Hinata Nayin said. Then, she saw Li Mengxi raise the wolf-headed whistle and blow it.

"Whew!"

As a deep voice sounded, a field of light quickly gathered and formed not far in front of the two of them. Immediately, the shell of the light shattered, revealing a giant wolf the size of a dark gray horse, with a saddle and bridles.

"It's a mount!" "Naine Hinata, who saw it for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim, "How did you get such a rare thing!"

"It's not rare. It's just going to take a little bit of work. Saying that, Li Mengxi looked at the mountains and forests to the east.

"There's a kind of monster in the early leaf forest that only appears at night called the 'Wolf Goblin', you know?"

"I don't venture out at night, only once or twice. Is this wolf mount a drop?"

"Sort of. That kind of goblin is called 'Wolf', but it didn't bring a wolf in the first place, right? ”

"At the beginning, even in the end, I didn't see a wolf jumping out. That's what it should just be called. ”

"No, it's actually going to call a wolf, but that skill is very random. Saying that, Li Mengxi showed the "Wolf Whistle" to Hinata Nain, "As long as you knock it down as soon as it takes out this thing, there will definitely be this 'Wolf Whistle' in the drop." The wolf riding speed summoned with this is not bad, but it can only be used three times. ”

"Three times, I always feel that there is no value in starting with it. ”

"Maybe, but aren't we going to use it now? Saying that, Li Mengxi stepped on the back of the giant wolf smoothly with the saddle, and then stretched out his hand towards Hinata Nain.

"Come on. ”

"Hey?" Hinata was stunned at first, and then immediately blushed, "......"

"You're not scared, are you?"

"Hmph!" responded a little angrily, and Hinata Nain couldn't help but scold Li Mengxi in her heart, stupid!

"Alas. It's not close, and you won't want to run behind. ”

"I know!" said Hinata Nain, who held Li Mengxi's hand a little shyly, turned it over with strength, and sat in the back. Although her movements are a little clumsy, she has enough ability points to guarantee it, and it is not a big problem.

Immediately, Li Mengxi first reminded Hinata Naine to "hold on", and then shook the reins to drive the giant wolf into the mountains and forests at night.

As mentioned earlier, there are many aspects of MysteryWorld that are realistic, and now it seems that riding is one of them.

This isn't the first time Hinata has ridden a ride in a somatosensory game, but other games use system assistance to remove the bumps and airflow during riding. MysteryWorld, on the other hand, has gone to great lengths to reproduce the real situation.

The seated wolf let go of his four legs and ran wildly through the mountains and forests, and the strong wind blowing in his face hit Hinata Nain's face painfully. And the big bumps from time to time gave her the illusion that she was going to fall.

As a result, Hinata Naine can no longer take care of the girl's shyness, and can only feel safe by hugging Li Mengxi's waist hard.

On the contrary, Li Mengxi is calm about all this. This made Hinata Naine couldn't help but ask loudly, "Have you ridden a horse?"

"My grandfather often took me to the mountain racecourse during the summer vacation!" Li Mengxi also replied loudly.

"How does it compare to here!"

"What's that!"

"I mean it's not real!"

"It's still a bit of a gap, after all, it's more or less system-assisted, and the degree of bumps and the power of the wind are weaker! The mount is also more obedient! In short, it's easier to ride. ”

It's easy!

Hearing this, Hinata Nain couldn't help but complain in her heart, and then shouted, "Do you think I can ride!"

"Have you ever studied?"

"Nope!"

"Motorcycles and stuff!"

"I can ride a bike!"

"That's probably no fun!"

Hearing this comment, Naine Hinata was a little lost and silent.

Li Mengxi may have noticed something, and then said, "Do you want to learn!"

Hearing this, Nayin Hinata cheered up again.

"You're willing to teach me!"

"If you can persevere, I'll teach you!"

"Alright, we'll start as soon as we get back!"

"No problem! By the way, the terrain ahead is more complicated, don't talk anymore and be careful to bite your tongue, the pain engine here is not ordinary sensitive!"

"Hmm!" she agreed, and Hinata hugged her tighter.

Feeling the squeezing sensation coming from behind, Li Mengxi's face couldn't help but flash a crimson at this time.

In this way, after almost two hours of riding the wolf, the two finally arrived at the location marked by the treasure map. It was the entrance to a cave deep in the mountains.

Li Mengxi restrained the riding wolf in a small open space in front of the cave entrance, and after it stopped, he jumped down first, and then stretched out his hand to Hinata Nain. But the latter's eyes wandered, and he never had any intention of grasping it.

This look combined with the situation when he rode the wolf earlier, Li Mengxi blurted out his own guess.

"You're not afraid of heights, are you?"

Hearing this, Hinata Nain's face immediately showed a gloomy color, which just gave a reason not to help Li Mengxi's outstretched hand.

"That's not the problem!" said a little angrily, and Hinata herself jumped off the wolf's back.

Seeing this, Li Mengxi only thought that she was so strong, and opened the operation window with her right hand to cancel the standby state of riding the wolf. As a result, the giant wolf turned into photon powder in an instant and disappeared.

"What should I do when I go back?" Seeing that the wolf rider had disappeared, Hinata Naon asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, the wolf whistle can be used again. Saying that, Li Mengxi strode towards the entrance of the cave.

Hinata first dodged out of the way, then followed him, and at the same time asked, "In this case, it is twice, and what are you using it for?"

"Explore the map. ”

"Not really. As she spoke, Hinata let out a laugh uncontrollably. "Chu Yelin can't even see the edge when he stands on the city wall. ”

"I know. ”

"Then you still explore?" Hinata Nain asked puzzledly, Li Mengxi gave her the impression that she was not a person who "knowingly committed crimes". Unless...... Mapping is not the goal, simply running wild with wolves is.

Thinking of this, Hinata Nayin couldn't help but show a smile of "I guessed", and ran two steps to Li Mengxi.

"What are you doing?" Seeing her like this, Li Mengxi asked with a chill down her spine.

"Hehe, seeing that you are always serious, isn't it quite playful. ”

Li Mengxi immediately realized that it was Hinata Nayin who guessed what he had done, and was a little embarrassed to find a reason casually.

"In this case, I also need to vent my stress from time to time. ”

"That's it. Hee-hee. ”

After smiling slightly, Hinata simply turned around and jumped into the cave first. Looking at her back, Li Mengxi sighed dejectedly and followed in.

The interior of the cave stretches forward in a corridor, and it is very dark.

Seeing this, the two nodded to each other, then each took out the prop used for lighting, "glowstone", and drew their weapons.

"I'll go ahead. Saying this, Li Mengxi took a step and chose to walk in the forefront. This decision is not only based on his status as a boy, but also on the personal situation that can only be avant-garde.

And Naine Hinata also understands this and acts as a defender without any opinion. If anything, she can use magic to help.

In this way, the two officially began to explore in vigilance.

They kept moving forward, one after another, and sometimes whispered a few words to relieve boredom. After almost an hour, the boring distance finally changed, and a hole in the hole appeared ahead.

So, the two stopped for a moment in front of the entrance of the cave.

"You think this is not ......," Hinata began.

Coincidentally, Li Mengxi had the same guess and smoothly picked up the second half of the sentence: "Boss room." ”

"But there are no sentinels along the way, will the game be designed so easily now?"

"I'm not sure, what do you think?"

"Hmm......" Hinata hesitated for a moment as she stared at the dark cave in front of her, "Anyway, let's go and have a look." Even if there is a boss, you can just quit when the time comes. ”

Somatosensory games are designed with the player's psychological capacity in mind, and it has always been a practice for the player to escape in front of the boss. Even the boss room will not block the entrance and exit like a PC online game.

Therefore, Li Mengxi felt that Hinata Nain's idea was feasible as long as he was careful, and he was a little unwilling to go back after tossing all night and getting nothing.

So, the two reached a consensus and carefully moved into the cave. And they completely underestimate the madness of MysteryWorld. In fact, since 10,000 players were trapped here and the death rule was enforced, there should be no hope for any conventions to follow.

The moment Nane Hinata, who was walking behind, stepped into the vast space, it was as if someone had suddenly pulled the lamp rope, and the bright light fell from above. Immediately after that, I heard a "bang", and a sealing stone rose from the ground to block the entrance.

"Trap! how could this be!" Hinata Naine said in shock when she looked back and saw the retreat disappear.

At the same time, Li Mengxi stared intently at the front and said nervously: "I won the lottery." ”

In the middle of the semicircular cave with wide space, a behemoth slowly stood up.

It was, a skeleton with only a skeleton left, a piece of armor that was degraded by only the metal part, a large ring knife with a ghost head in his right hand, and a metal shield with a red shield in his left hand.

It was six meters tall and could be called a giant, and the next moment it stood up completely, it let out a loud roar in the sky.

"Wow!"

Bearing the turbulent waves of qi head-on, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain focused their attention on the monster in front of them.

The name is "Sleepless Dead", and the HP gauge is three times the length of the dark green barbarian with the thickest known HP, and it is two and a half pounds, so it is undoubtedly a boss-level monster.

"What should I do!" asked Hinata in a bit of a panic.

"I can only take it!" Li Mengxi casually threw away the fluorite and put on a posture of making a move.

"That's the boss, there are only two of us!"

"Death and life!"

The words were closed, and Li Mengxi rushed straight towards the sleepless dead man with all his strength. The boss's reaction was not slow, and he immediately raised his shield to parry from the state of showing off his might.

The tip of the sword and the shield collided violently, making a "bang" sound. This time, the confidence in Li Mengxi's heart was also a little firmer. Although I don't know how much the real attack power of the boss is, judging from the feeling of this time, at least the two sides are equal in terms of strength.

After the collision, Li Mengxi and the boss bounced in opposite directions at the same time, and they all entered a state of hard stun. At this time, a blue flash passed by Li Mengxi.

Put it in the place of death and then live, put it in the place of death and live after it...... Repeating Li Mengxi's words just now in her heart, Hinata Nain plucked up the courage to attack the sleepless dead man who showed his flaws.

First the basic martial art called "Charge", followed by two bursts of spurs. Three consecutive moves accurately pierced through the gap in the armor and slammed into the large skeleton's spine from the abdomen.

As a result, the boss's HP has decreased a little more obviously, and it itself has been hit and retreated three steps in a row.

Immediately, as if enraged, the Sleepless Dead let out a roar and slashed the Great Ring Knife at Hinata. However, it seems to have forgotten that its opponent has two people.

Li Mengxi quickly approached with a "charge", and saw the opportunity to flick off the falling big ring knife. At this time, Naine Hinata also completed a short charge of strength and launched a single-shot martial art, "Sudden Burst".

However, what the two didn't expect was that the boss waved the shield in his left hand.

"Bang" explosion,The boss was still hit in the spine by the "slamming", although it was stocky, but the "slamming" had the effect of knocking it away, so it was still knocked out.

However, Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain couldn't chase after them.

The confrontation just now can only be said to be a lose-lose situation, although the "Fierce Rush" hit, but Hinata Naine was also beaten up by the boss's shield, and even knocked Li Mengxi away. Both of them had their HP cut by quite a bit.

However, not only were they not frightened, but they stood firm. Because I know that this boss is not as scary as I thought at the beginning.

The two of them got up from the ground, and while the boss was also struggling to get up, they took out the red recovery potion and drank it down.

Throwing away the empty bottle and letting it shatter and disappear, Li Mengxi said while putting on a posture: "Give it to me head-on, you attack from the side, be careful of the shield." ”

“ok。 If this big skeleton doesn't have any other tricks, it's going to die!"

Everything is as Hinata said.

After about an hour, the battle ended. Except for the panic at the beginning, this boss battle was unexpectedly relaxed. Although Sleepless Dead's attack power is high, he will only use pure physical attacks, not even combos. Its attack routine was quickly figured out by the two, and all that was left was to spend time on the amount of health.

"Wow!"

When the HP was completely empty, the sleepless man let out a strange wail and fell under the front and back of Li Mengxi and Hinata Nain, and before he could completely fall to the ground, his body shattered and disappeared.

But after all, the two of them were frightened by the unexpected situation at the beginning, and they didn't relax for a while, until the drop list popped up in front of them.

MysteryWorld's drop mechanic is that items other than equipment are distributed to everyone in the party in duplicate, and equipment is then distributed to one or more people.

There were only six materials in the window in front of Hinata Nain, so she closed the list and walked to Li Mengxi. She put away her weapon as she walked, and asked, "How's it going?"

"Does this count? There's a weapon. ”

"Really!" At this second, Naine Hinata shouted excitedly, and the next second her face was blackened.

Because, judging from the appearance, what Li Mengxi materialized was the ghost-headed big ring knife used by the Sleepless Dead just now, but the size was reduced to match the player.

"One-handed knife, attack power 200, knife damage bonus 1.5, dark magic bonus 1.3, weapon attack speed decay 2.0. After reading out the specific attribute parameters, Li Mengxi looked at Hinata Nayin and handed the knife over at the same time and said, "Do you want to use it?"

Seeing this, Hinata Naine immediately shook her head and said, "This is your drop, or you should keep it for yourself." ”

"Then go back and deal with someone casually. As soon as Li Mengxi let go, the big ring knife was released and returned to his warehouse.

At this moment, a very eary "Kara" sounded. The two of them were originally blocked by the entrance, but they didn't expect a new exit to appear on the opposite side.

They looked closer. Behind the entrance is a large platform, in the middle of which is an incomparably wide spiral staircase leading to the bottom, beyond which it is impossible to see. But in the vast vertical cylindrical space crisscrossed the dazzling silver-white road, on which monsters could be faintly seen. The reason why you can observe so much is because there are bright lights everywhere that I don't know what they are.

"It seems that this is the essence of this dungeon. That boss was just a janitor. After seeing it, Li Mengxi said.

"Hmm. Go down?"

"Even if I can't say no, there's no way back. Saying that, Li Mengxi and Hinata Naine looked back at the sealed entrance together.

Then, the two turned around and raised their steps, with a little helplessness, more excitement.
