Chapter 184: The Labyrinth of Sand
Now Xiao Hua can only advance but not retreat, and if he retreats, he will have to go back to dig the mine for more than half a month to refine a sulfur powder, and he will not do it if he is killed.
Xiao Hua didn't think much about it, so he summoned the fake image out and let the fake image go in to explore the way. The maze of high yellow sand is very narrow, more than a meter wide, and there are many brownish-yellow, almost dry thick rattans climbing on the sand wall, but what impresses Xiao Hua more is the slightly raised carvings on the sand wall like monster images.
Not long after the illusion entered the sand labyrinth, and I don't know if it was the effect of the grandmaster's stealth, Xiao Hua found that the illusion did not encounter any monsters, not only that, but this maze did not seem to have any traps, and the several forks in the road that appeared in front of him were quickly eliminated one by one!
Xiao Hua felt strange in his heart, but he only had three days of food with him, and after a little hesitation, he sneaked forward and followed, in case he spent too much time in this maze and starved to death when he got out of the maze, it would really be a joke.
More than twenty minutes later, sneaking up to the time, the illusion revealed its figure in the maze, just in case, Xiao Hua planned to wait for thirty seconds to pass before continuing to move forward, but he didn't expect that at this time, a monster carving on the sand wall two meters away in front of the illusion was broken, and a monster composed entirely of yellow sand emerged from it!
Xiao Hua's figure was seven or eight meters behind the illusion at this time, because the sneaking time was a little later than the illusion, and the sneaking time had not yet arrived, Xiao Hua didn't know the monster's attack method, and he didn't dare to rush up to help, so he transferred his consciousness to the illusion, and controlled the illusion to fight with the yellow sand monster.
Controlling the illusion, Xiao Hua first photographed the yellow sand monster that was nearly two meters tall and occupied an entire passage with an identification technique, and obtained the general information of the monster.
Sand Controller: Lv65, HP60000, Attack???,Defense???。
Level 65 monster! Xiao Hua couldn't help but gasp, this level of monster, even the role of grandmaster-level identification is not very obvious. Although the monster's attack and defense can't be obtained, a monster of this level, without thinking too much, is not easy to mess with, but what makes Xiao Hua care more is the name of the monster!
Sand Controller, can this monster control the sand around it?
When Xiao Hua had this thought, the sand controller also began to move, huge size, in this narrow place, the movement of the sand controller looked very sluggish, but with a wave of the sand controller's hand, Xiao Hua suddenly found that a small vortex suddenly appeared on the ground full of yellow sand, and the movement of the illusion was immediately very sluggish!
The vortex at the foot of the illusion, although it does not suck the illusion in, but it also produces a huge suction, and it is very difficult for the illusion to move!
It was extremely agile, and he also had the illusion of a phantom ring, but under the gravitational pull of the vortex, his movements were even slower than those of the sand controller!
Xiao Hua hurriedly controlled the illusion, and reluctantly took two steps back, wanting to escape from the vortex under his feet first, and then test what other means the sand controller had. But as soon as the illusion retreated, the vortex under his feet also moved, and it seemed that it was almost impossible to escape the vortex tracking of the sand controller!
The attack of the sand controller also fell at this time, and in such a narrow passage, the illusion had no room to completely dodge. Xiao Hua tried to make the illusion attack the defense of the sand controller twice, and found that it was completely impossible to break the defense of the sand controller, so he simply gave up resistance, and the illusion of nearly 3,000 hp let the sand controller be killed with four slaps, and the attack of the sand controller was also amazingly high!
After killing the illusion, the sand controller looked up and saw no enemies, then turned and walked to the nearby sand wall. The sand wall loosened for a while, and the body of the sand controller turned into wisps of quicksand, which were contained in the sand wall, and the previously broken carving was immediately intact.
The sand controller is undoubtedly a very BT monster, but why no one appeared in the town of Hasamo, Xiao Hua is still very puzzled. More than a month ago, Grandmaster-level stealth was not an uncommon thing, and if a large group of hundreds of assassins passed through this labyrinth, those petrified Medusa snakes would not be able to stop them!
Shaking his head, without thinking much about it, Xiao Hua summoned an illusion and continued to move forward. After learning of the existence of the sand controller, Xiao Hua first tested the hatred range of the sand controller to eliminate the possibility of the character being targeted by the sand controller.
And it didn't take long for Xiao Hua to discover an important reason that could explain that no one passed through the maze!
This maze of sand is not fixed, the sand under his feet seems to flow slowly, and the sand walls that make up the maze actually move with the sand! In this way, if you want to use the tactics of crowds, it may not work!
After discovering this situation, Xiao Hua had no way back, so he could only move forward. However, Xiao Hua is not very worried, walking back from the only exit, the maze is relatively simple, and he still has the means of illusion, don't worry about being trapped, if he can't get out of this maze in such a situation, then this maze is simply unsolvable!
The Sand Labyrinth was obviously very large, Xiao Hua was careful along the way, and it still took six or seven hours to pass through the Sand Labyrinth without touching the sand controller again. This labyrinth, according to Xiao Hua's approximate estimate, is not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and more importantly, a sand controller can make people prohibitive.
At the exit on the other side of the sand labyrinth, Xiao Hua spent a lot of effort to remove the large handful of dried rattans that were intertwined at the exit. These thick rattans have completely blocked the exit.
Drilling out of the exit, Xiao Hua found that on the other side of this sand maze was a large expanse of endless desert yellow sand, and the sand maze behind him was in a row of high and continuous Gobi sand cliffs, and countless brown and yellow rattans hung down from the top of the sand cliffs, intertwining and completely covering the entrance of the sand maze!
Xiao Hua finally understood that the real reason why the town of Hasamo was not known was not how difficult the maze was, but that no one had discovered the location of the maze at all! Even if Xiao Hua hadn't written down the coordinates in advance and came to this area again, if he hadn't stepped on the shit luck, he wouldn't have been able to find the entrance to the sand maze at all!
And for ordinary players, this area is already close to the border, the monster level is around 60, and without knowing it, no one will come all the way to lift the rattan to play.
After marking the entrance seat, Xiao Hua raised his head and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky. In the distant sky, there seemed to be endless yellow sand, and Xiao Hua couldn't help but worry about whether his food was enough.
"I hope I don't get lost, if only Abri were here. Summoning the chocobo out, Xiao Hua got on his mount, looked in one direction and walked straight forward. Getting lost in the desert is still a very possible thing, Xiao Hua couldn't help but think of the benefits of Abri at this time, if Abri was there, naturally he didn't have to worry about getting lost.
It was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Xiao Hua began to walk vigorously in the desert. After a few hours, there were not many monsters on the desert, but high sand cliffs appeared in front of him from time to time, blocking Xiao Hua's way, I thought it was a flat and unobstructed desert, but it didn't seem as simple as Xiao Hua thought. After bypassing one high sand cliff after another, Xiao Hua didn't know if he was lost.
Under the scorching eyes, the physical strength was consumed quickly, and the food in Xiao Hua's backpack gradually decreased.
The sky soon darkened, and Xiao Hua continued to walk under the dark starlight, and began to feel that he might be lost, because until now, he had not found any players!
This is not a normal situation, generally speaking, the ordinary monster area on the periphery outside the city, sitting on the mount, can almost walk to the border without a road in more than ten hours, and he has been walking in this desert for ten hours, or wandering around the monster area of level fifty or sixty, which is obviously abnormal. What's even more abnormal is that according to Xiao Hua's guess, there should be many players with a level of around fifty-five now, but after turning around here for so long, he didn't find a single player, Xiao Hua naturally had reason to guess that he was lost.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day, and the buns in Xiao Hua's backpack were consumed, and by twelve o'clock in the evening, he could no longer find the location of this nearby city, so he had to starve to death and return to the small town of Hasamo to work as a miner.
"Dog, which game plans to make such a big map!" The sun in the sky seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and Xiao Hua complained that the map was too big.
Swallowing a bun and replenishing some physical strength, Xiao Hua felt very thirsty in his mouth, although it is said that as long as he has physical strength in the game, he will not starve to death, but this water, too lacking, will also make people feel a little uncomfortable, especially like Xiao Hua who has been exposed to the sun in the desert for more than a whole day.
More than two hours have passed, and the food in the backpack is getting less and less, Xiao Hua can't help but be irritable, this idea of not knowing when the end is very tormenting, but at this moment, Xiao Hua's eyes looking into the distance can't help but narrow!
One or two hundred meters in front, a male archer was being chased and run by two monsters, the speed of the male archer was very fast, and he knew that it was an agile profession at a glance, but the two wolf-like yellow monsters behind him were also dissatisfied with their speed, and they followed closely behind the male archer, it seemed that the male archer would have to be chased by two wolves sooner or later!
"Your sister of the system, thank you so much! And that brother, don't hang up, wait for me to save you!" Xiao Hua couldn't help but be ecstatic after realizing that it was not an illusion. After walking for so long, he finally met a player, which was even happier than seeing an unsuspecting super boss now!
Slightly pulling the direction of the chocobo, Xiao Hua ran towards the male archer at full speed, how could he not let this person hang up!
