"You mean...... There are secret underground passages in the wilderness?"

On the empty grassland of the four-difficulty wilderness, Shen Yi was talking to Zhang Jianjun and Lan Mei'er.

Since Shen Yi and Zhang Jianjun separated, Zhang Jianjun and Lan Meier came together, and soon established a team called the Warriors.

Shen Yi knew about this, because soon after the team was established, Zhang Jianjun spent money to buy a team assembly order from Shen Yi, and Shen Yi gave him a preferential price.

However, after Shen Yi was promoted to the third difficulty, due to the inconvenience of coming and going, the contact between the two sides gradually decreased, so Shen Yi did not know that the original Warriors had also been promoted to the apartment area not long ago and completed two tasks.

After having the team assembly order, Zhang Jianjun became more and more bold and dared to enter the wilderness again. However, due to his limited strength, he didn't dare to challenge those powerful beasts, so he tried his best to find some places that were not so strong, but might give good things.

Eventually, he thought of the City of Ashes.

He decides to go to the City of Ashes to get the mission command card.

Since quest cards are obtained through mining, unlike other special items, it takes luck rather than strength to get more quest cards.

For example, although the Broken Blades team is rampant in the wilderness, they just can't get the mission command card.

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that they cherish their time and do not want to waste it in such an uncertain area - for those who have strength, controllability is the most important thing, and for those who are not strong, luck is also a good choice.

The capital of ashes is a special area across the second and third districts, and the most special thing there is that the fierce beasts that inhabit there are all undead transformed by adventurers after death, and they are extremely cunning and have a huge activity area.

Due to the cross-regional movement of the undead in Zone 3, the City of Ashes is one of the most dangerous areas in the Tier 2 Wilderness for Zone 2, but for adventurers in Zone 3, the danger of the City of Ashes is greatly reduced, and it is also the most suitable place for low-level adventurers to go on adventures.

So Zhang Jianjun went to the City of Ashes not long ago, hoping to try his luck there.

He was indeed lucky, it only took two days to collect seven kinds of jadeite, and when he saw a task command card in his hand, the members of the Warriors were excited, their confidence soared, and they continued to mine with joy, and even the fierce beasts in the mine became cute in their eyes.

Unfortunately, their good fortune seemed to have come to an end, and in the time that followed, they were not able to dig up a few decent pieces of jadeite.

Seeing that the delay was getting more and more, but the gain was minimal, even Zhang Jianjun was in a hurry.

He eventually made a risky move: he went deeper into the mine.

"You went to the lower mines, are you crazy?" Shen Yi was taken aback by Zhang Jianjun's choice.

Zhang Jianjun sighed: "I was also carried away by interests at that time. ”

The mine cave in the ash capital is divided into three layers, upper, middle and lower, and the monsters living in it are also different, corresponding to the second, third and fourth layers of difficulty, respectively, as for the fifth difficulty, since there is only an interstellar world, the mission command card has no effect, so there is no corresponding mine area.

Zhang Jianjun They are three-difficulty adventurers, so it stands to reason that they can mine in the middle mining hole. However, Shen Yi knew that mining was the same as hunting fierce beasts, and the probability of going down to the lower level was higher, but the Broken Blade team that was mining in the second difficulty didn't dare to break through the area and go down to the middle level, and a few of them who were just barely fighting in the middle layer dared to run to the lower level, and they could only say that this was really asking for money and dying.

This is the harm of gambling, most people are only a small gambling pleasure before indulging in gambling, but later it always develops into a big gambling injury, and finally ends up in a strong gambling ashes.

Zhang Jianjun also had the intention of gambling, wanting to put a few hoes near the entrance of the mine before encountering the four-difficulty beasts of the lower mine, and retreat with the mine once there was danger.

He thought that he could be like Shen Yi, relying on the teleportation point to enter and exit repeatedly.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the mine, he encountered a large number of dense and countless fierce beasts, which almost killed him in one blow, and even blocked his retreat, forcing him to use the teleportation scroll to escape.

Later, he realized that someone had already done this kind of thing, and the consequence was that the lower mine naturally attracted a large number of monsters to block the door. Adventurers almost come and die one by one, and even adventurers of the fourth difficulty will not dare to enter easily.

However, this lower mine was actually a self-contained area, and then the teleportation scroll did not teleport him away, but directly teleported to any point in the mine.

This time Zhang Jianjun is in big trouble, he immediately teleported out, the team assembly order has been used, and a large number of monsters have been blocked at the entrance of the cave, the people above can't get down, and the people below can't go up, it has become a dead end of sitting and waiting for death.

Zhang Jianjun had no choice but to look for a way out.

Eventually, he discovered that there was an underground river in the mine.

At that time, Zhang Jianjun was already trapped and waiting to die, so he simply jumped into the underground river and went against the river to see if he could find a way out.

Fortunately, his adventurer physique can withstand a long period of not breathing, and in the end, he really let him return to the wilderness along the river, and he is still in the city of ashes, and finally found a life.

"Then why did you go into the mine again, and you appeared here directly?" Shen Yi was puzzled.

Zhang Jianjun sighed: "You know that people's hearts are always greedy. At the beginning, a large number of monsters surrounded the entrance in the lower mine, and the result was that there were few monsters in other parts of the mine, but it was much safer, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get out in the first place. Then I thought, if I could swim into the mine from that river again, I could mine there freely. ”

"I see. ”

"But I didn't expect that when we entered the river again, we stumbled upon a secret door. ”

"Secret door?"

"Yes!" Speaking of this, Zhang Jianjun's face suddenly became excited: "It turns out that under the lower mine, there is a secret underground passage!"

"And then you broke into the passages, like in the novel, expecting to discover some hidden secret cave?"

Zhang Jianjun smiled embarrassedly, lowered his head and replied: "Yes, we did think so at the beginning, and you also know that many things in this world do not exist for no reason." When we saw the secret door, we were very excited, thinking that we had discovered some secret nest that no one knew about, and we were looking forward to making a fortune from it. ”

"The result?"

Zhang Jianjun had a bitter smile on his face: "We opened the secret door and found that there was a long passage behind the door. So we walked down the passage, thinking that if there was danger, we would withdraw. Unexpectedly, after walking through the passage, we found that the passage was actually a branch of a labyrinth, and we came to an area with seventeen or eighteen forks. Just as we were discussing how to go, a fierce beast suddenly rushed out of a branch road, it was a fierce beast of about the same strength as the Shadow Leopard, but since there was only one, we were not afraid of it. We got into a fight with it, but soon we found out we were wrong......"

Shen Yi thought for a while and asked, "Are you lost?"

Zhang Jianjun smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes." ”

Fierce battles often make people lose their direction, and when the battle is over, Zhang Jianjun and the others find that they can no longer distinguish which one is the passage in for them.

In this case, they can only try one way at a time, but new beasts continue to appear, and soon they are completely lost in the underground labyrinth.

"How did you get out?"

"Break in, try your luck. Zhang Jianjun replied honestly.

After the Warriors found themselves completely lost, they simply let go of their scruples and wandered around, unexpectedly, they finally found a stone chamber.

There was nothing in the stone chamber, only a magic circle.

After Zhang Jianjun and the others stepped on the magic circle, they were directly teleported out.

They thought they had regained their freedom, and when they were excited, they didn't expect a large group of shadow beasts to come out. It turned out that the place where the teleportation array teleported them turned out to be the dark jungle in the fourth-difficulty area.

At this time, the warrior team was frightened, and could only run all the way under the pursuit of a large group of shadow beasts, if it wasn't for Shen Yi, this team was afraid that all of them would have died.

Listening to Zhang Jianjun's narration, Shen Yi frowned.

I don't know why, after hearing Zhang Jianjun's account, he had a faint sense of familiarity, as if these places had some wonderful connection with him.

He stood up and walked a few steps repeatedly with his hands behind his back, pondering, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he took out a map from the coat of arms and spread it in front of Zhang Jianjun.

This is the map that Shen Yi took out with the Eye of Hades in the Netherworld Valley.

There are many strange markers on this map, mainly used to indicate which places are more dangerous, but due to the age and the great changes in the wilderness city, many of the information on it has been distorted, so it is not of great use to Shen Yi.

It's just that there are some areas on it that are marked with special symbols, but Shen Yi has never been able to find out what this mark represents.

Until this moment, he took out the map, pointed to one of the ~ numbers and asked Zhang Jianjun: "Is this the place where you enter the underground passage from the river?"

Zhang Jianjun looked at the map for a long time, and hesitated: "It should be...... I can't be too sure, but it looks like the area represented by this marker is very close to where we first entered. ”

"And what about this?" Shen Yi pointed to the dark jungle part of the four-difficulty region, which was a * on it.

Zhang Jianjun was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the * mark and shouted: "That's right, we came out of here......! Hell, this * is a lot like that teleportation array!"

The * sign represents the six-pointed star array. Shen Yi said lightly: "~ represents the river." ”

And not far from the ~ number, there is a peculiar ∞ number, Shen Yi pointed to this ∞ number and said: "∞ represents infinity, which should refer to the meaning of the labyrinth." ”

Then his gaze rested on the ⊙, not far from the ∞.

"There is also such a symbol here, which should represent the deepest secret of the labyrinth...... You've been so close to it, but you've missed it again. ”

Zhang Jianjun looked at Shen Yi dumbfounded, but his finger was already pointing elsewhere, which was another * mark.

Shen Yi has already said: "On this map, there are a total of nine such * markers, and it is very likely that each mark represents a teleportation array, but its end point actually points to one place, which is the underground labyrinth...... It seems that there are indeed some secrets hidden in this labyrinth, waiting for us to uncover...... like the valley of the beasts. ”

Shen Yi had already put away the map and said, "There are a total of nine *-shaped symbols, which should represent different entry locations. ”

He looked at Zhang Jianjun and said with a smile: "Are you interested in going to the underground labyrinth again?"
