Chapter 8: An Adventure Like an Outing
(Two more today again, friends, ask for recommendations and collections)
"Turn left. Keep walking. Stop, now look to the right, there's a crack in the wall, get in. Stick to the wall on the right, okay, stop here. Look up, yes, it's the hole, jump up. Pannis, who was at the end of the way, just giving instructions to the team, and it wasn't long before a few people came to the end of a cave and looked up at the hidden opening at the top.
"Is it the lower level of the cave above?" asked Catherine, uncertain.
"Of course not, the person who came up with the name is not a fool. Pannis walked to the bottom of the hole, looked up and replied, "But it's not far." We need to jump directly, pay attention to activate the Douqi Shield before jumping up, if you don't want to dance a veneer dance with the Demon Mouse. ”
"Of course, I understand. Catherine's body suddenly became a little hazy, and a transparent and misty fighting aura covered her entire body. In Yara's world, only high-level physical professionals above the silver level have Dou Qi, and the protective effect of Dou Qi on physical professionals is far greater than armor. When a physical professional opens the Douqi Shield, there are only two ways to attack him, or to fight a war of attrition, because the consumption of the Douqi Shield is much greater than the consumption of attack skills, so after a certain period of battle, the user's Douqi will often be consumed, and the Douqi Shield will naturally cease to exist;
For gold and silver level professionals, the consumption of the Dou Qi Shield is too amazing, and the total consumption is far greater than the amount of recovery, so almost no one will hold up the Dou Qi Shield for a long time to fight, otherwise just a few minutes will be enough to consume the Dou Qi of a top Gold Rank professional, and then you can only continue to fight with the power of **. When you are fortunate enough to advance to the Legend, the recovery value of Dou Qi has approached the consumption of Dou Qi Shield, and it is possible to support Dou Qi Shield for a long time. But even so, if the battle is too long or the battle is too intense and too expensive, it is possible to fall into the dilemma of running out of fighting energy.
Only the demigods who have reached the apex of living beings can instantly transform energy from the surrounding environment at any time to replenish the energy consumed by themselves, and there is no problem of consumption at all, so that the Douqi Shield will be turned into a solidified state and covered on the surface of the body. That's why the world of Yara has an iron accepted law that only demigods can kill demigods.
Unsheathing her vindictive shield, Catherine jumped up to the hole above her head without stopping, looked around carefully before shouting, "Safety, come up." "Lina, though a priest, was clearly agile, and disappeared into the cave with a slight leap, completely looking at the distance of three meters as if it were flat ground. Only Vivien couldn't jump, but she reached out and pointed on the ground, and a finger-thick rope appeared on the ground out of thin air, wrapped around her waist as if alive, lifted her up, and sent her steadily into the hole.
"It's all very energetic. Pannis, who had been following the back of the line to help, shrugged his shoulders and jumped up as well.
The caves on the upper level are narrower than those on the lower levels, allowing only one person to walk through, but there are many forks in the road, and they are densely packed like beehives. Facing the dense road, just when Catherine felt overwhelmed, Pannis did not show the way, but leaned against the wall and twisted and moved a few times, and then came to Catherine and took the torch: "I'll lead the way, the road here is more troublesome." ”
"Of course, you're the explorer, and you're up to you. Catherine stopped talking, and followed Pannis, and the four fell silent, except for the sound of footsteps, only the crackling of torches.
"Attention, we're jumping. Pannis paused in a slightly larger space and pointed to his feet.
"So insidious. The three girls of the adventure group gathered around them when they heard this, and they were startled. A cave suddenly appeared on the ground, the swarthy hole was difficult to see in the flickering light of the torches, and if no one knew passed by, there was a great possibility that they would fall in unsuspecting and fall half to death.
"It's okay to fall in. Pannis took out another torch and lit it, threw it directly into the hole, looked at it and said, "This is the only entrance to this level to the demonized bat territory." ”
"Demonized bats?" Lina, who didn't have a book to read, was obviously a little lacking in interest, and said weakly, "Didn't you say that the entrance to the lower level is in the territory of the demonized rat?"
"Entering from the territory of the Demon Rat is a shortcut, and you can go directly to the entrance. If you take a long detour, it will take two days. Pannith said and jumped down and shouted: "Come down, follow me, this is the territory of the demonized bats, and they search for enemies by sound, if you don't hurry, the bats will all surround you." ”
Hearing Pannis's words, she turned around to catch Vivian who jumped down, Catherine didn't let go, and directly hugged Vivian and ran behind Lina.
After a few turns, the four of them ran into a narrow passage, and listening to the sound of dense wings flapping not far away, Pannis pointed to his feet and said, "Miss Catherine, inside is the entrance, Miss Vivien and I go in and open the passage, you stay here for a while, don't let the bats fly in and interfere." ”
"No, don't underestimate Miss Ben. Lina saw that the four people had entered the narrow alley, stretched out the index finger of her right hand, slowly drew a quadrilateral shape on her chest, and whispered: "In the name of Denia, the god of the earth." ”
As the quadrilateral drew closer to completion, dots of light gathered around Lina's fingers, and in the blink of an eye, the fingers became dazzlingly bright. When the quadrilateral shape was finally drawn, Lina pointed to the entrance of the narrow alley with her shining finger: "In the name of Denya, the Sacred Word, the Barrier." Following the pointing of his finger, the points of light suddenly exploded, evenly distributed at the entrance of the narrow alley, forming a transparent and shiny wall. Several fast-flying bats had already rushed to the front, crashing directly into the shiny wall, slowly sliding off against the surface of the light wall.
"Let's go, if it's just a demonized bat, it can last at least ten minutes. Lina imitated the movements of the spar gunman in the novel, blew her fingers in a dashing manner, flicked her hair, ignored Pannis's strange gaze, and proudly took the lead in the narrow passage.
"This is it. Turning a corner, the three maidens saw where Pannisy had stopped, although the light from the wall of light had dimmed much from the corner. The long passage continued to look forward, and the place where Pannis stood was just an ordinary cave rock wall in the middle of the narrow passage, with no features.
"It's too insidious. Lina made this assessment again: "The group of guys in the Adventurer's Guild are so cunning, who can find out if they put the mechanism here." ”
"It's just for fear that the rookies will find out by mistake. High-level veterans are still easy to spot. Pannis stroked the rock wall with his hand, suddenly stopped at a point, and said to Vivien: "Miss Vivian, come and point here with your fingers, and when you are ready, you will use the fire elemental energy to shake this point nine times, remember to complete the nine shocks in three seconds." A silver-tier mage can do it, no problem. ”
"No problem. Vivien's immature face was full of interest: "It's funny to have such a mechanism." ”
"There's even more fun, remember that the next step is the ice system. Pannis felt the end of the rapid oscillation of the fire element, his hand continued to grope on the rock wall, staying at the place below the first point obliquely, his fingers lightly tapped on the wall, silently calculated the time for a while, and suddenly said quickly: "Here, ice energy, five times in two seconds, right away." ”
Vivien, who had been prepared, quickly moved her fingers to act according to her words, and muttered in her mouth: "It's easy, don't underestimate an alchemist." ”
"It was perfect, the rest was my job. Pannis rarely said a word of praise outside of the guidance and introduction of the environment, his fingers skillfully found the third point, waited for a few seconds, and then the fighting spirit shook eleven times on the third point, before he withdrew his hand and patted the dust on his hands: "It's done, the passage will open for a minute." ”
The three girls stared curiously at the wall in front of them, but the rock wall did not change: "Where is the passage?"
"Follow me. Pannis said, not turning, and took a few steps backwards in the opposite direction from the agency. The cave passage wasn't narrow in this section, but Pannis took a few steps backwards and hit the rock wall directly, but amazingly, he didn't enter the wall at all, as if the wall didn't exist at all.
"What a sinister mechanism. Lina couldn't help but accuse again, and the first one followed Pannis to the rock wall, and then it was dark and he didn't fall into it. Contrary to what he imagined, the process of crossing the wall did not feel like hitting the wall, nor did he feel nothing like the illusion of passing through the illusion, but it was as if he was stuck in a cloud of colloid, and it was not until he took three steps forward in the dark that he passed through the wall and returned to his normal senses.
Passing through the rock wall, Lina found herself entering another cave passage that was not too wide, but strangely enough, even though Pannis had extinguished the torch, there was still a faint glow on the rock wall. In the faint light, Lina realized that the place she had walked into was also a rock wall, and suddenly there was a ripple on the rock wall, and Vivien and Catherine walked over one after the other.
"What is this? Lina looked at the wall, and when she remembered to reach out and touch it, she found that the rock in front of her had changed back to its original state, cold and hard, and couldn't help but admire: "Amazing." ”
"Apparently this is the work of a demigod. Vivien was also beside Lina, leaning her face against the rock wall, feeling something with her heart, and muttering dreamily: "The reversal of the virtual and the real, at least a collection of alchemy, change, and energy conversion three disciplines of magic masters, and then operated by the demigods, can have this effect." ”
Seeing Pannis's uninterested back against the wall impatiently waiting for the two girls to come back to their senses, Catherine clapped her hands and woke up the drunken Lina: "Girls, we should go." ”
Lina, who was awakened, forcibly pulled Vivien, who was still immersed in the world of spells, to move on, and did not forget to ask curiously, "What is on the wall? Is it the luminous moss mentioned in the book?"
"That's right, it's glow-in-the-dark moss. "It's a pity that there are only a few places in the lower caverns," said Pannis, "otherwise the exploration would have been much easier. ”
"Why are there so few?" asked Vivien, puzzled.
"It's been eaten. There are a lot of low-level monsters in it that are omnivorous, and the recipes also include plant ones. However, if you find the presence of luminous moss somewhere below, then you must be careful, there are often some powerful monsters in such a place, so that low-level monsters don't even dare to approach. Pannis walked a few hundred meters forward and turned to the three girls and raised his voice: "Alright, welcome to the lower level of the Weeping Cave." ”
