Chapter 6 Under the Cemetery
"Don't you wonder why the Guardian didn't kill you?"
Hearing Cao Xuan's words, the worker was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Yes! I was desperate just now, but the Guardian didn't kill me! Boy, why do you ask me that, did you save me? ”
Cao Xuan shook his head indifferently: "It's not that I saved you, but the rules saved you, and you can also understand that the spirit keeper let you go." ”
This made the workers even more puzzled: "What do you mean? Why can't I understand you? You mean that monster chased me for a long time, just to scare me into playing that? Didn't intend to kill me at all? ”
Seeing that the worker's mood stabilized, Cao Xuan analyzed unhurriedly: "It's not that it doesn't want to kill you, but it can't kill you, I have observed the Guardian from the beginning, with its power, any of us encounter an unsolvable mortal situation, such a huge gap, if we are found to be unable to escape at all, I also feel strange at first, until I just met you." ”
The worker put down the shovel in his hand and asked, "What does it mean to meet me?" Just say it! I'm a coarse person, and I can't understand the twists and turns. ”
"Do you understand the novice village in the game? At the beginning, everyone will have an invincible shield to temporarily protect us from attack, and I think the Guardian will appear in front of each of us once, not for anything else, just to let us see clearly the enemy we will face this time, this should be some benefits for the newcomers given by Infernal Academy, so that we can prepare for a general impression, but I am curious why the Guardian will chase you, according to my guess it should not have such a move. ”
Under Cao Xuan's guidance, the workers seemed to have remembered something, and their faces looked angry.
"It's all Chen Ming's bastard, originally after you left, the three of us didn't know where to go but to go around, who knew that we would meet that monster when we were going around, we hid well at first, who knew that the girl was scared and screamed and turned around and ran, the monster's attention was attracted at once, Chen Ming, the bastard turned around and kicked me out, the monster stared at me, and kept chasing me, you will know later."
Seeing that the limelight had passed, Yue Ruxue walked out from behind Cao Xuan and said empathetically: "That Chen Ming is the one in the suit!" I don't think he's like a good person, I didn't expect it to be so bad, Uncle Worker, don't worry, we will definitely not be so bad, Cao Xuan is very powerful, we will definitely be able to complete the task alive. ”
In fact, Cao Xuan is not optimistic, he still has some speculation that has not been said, now that the novice protection period has passed, the next thing to face is the real terrible guardian, maybe the frequency of chasing and killing at the beginning will not be very high, but as time goes by, the probability of a few people living until dawn is almost zero, and it is necessary to find the things in the mind of the guardian mentioned in the task as soon as possible.
"Where did you get that shovel?"
Hearing Cao Xuan's question, the worker scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "This is my talent, it's useless, with a little more strength and the tools that can be transformed into the construction site in each task scene, there are only three chances." ”
There is no intention to look down on the other party, this seemingly useless talent is actually very useful in Cao Xuan's eyes, and it comes in handy right now, you can use a shovel to dig up the grave and see what is buried inside.
The green grass shook slightly, a cool breeze hit, the leaves rustled, the temperature of the air dropped several notches in an instant, and the three of them shivered together, Cao Xuan felt bad in his heart, this sign was obviously that the spirit keeper was nearby.
Putting his finger to his mouth, he motioned for the two to silence, because the branches and leaves of the green plants were too lush, Cao Xuan couldn't be sure where the spirit keeper would appear at this moment, and he wasn't sure if the other party had discovered his group, so he didn't choose to act rashly, but gently pushed aside the green plant, trying to find the trace of the spirit keeper through the gap in the middle.
As time went by, the surroundings became more and more icy, and Cao Xuan still didn't have the figure of the soul keeper in his eyes, but he knew that he couldn't wait, the other party was already very close, and if he waited any longer, he would be killing himself, and he reminded everyone of the words: "Run!" ”
The pace was hurried, this time it was a real wild run, according to Cao Xuan's guess, the current spirit keeper would not be left behind, if he was caught, there was only a dead end, he ran desperately towards the periphery of the mausoleum group.
The temperature began to warm up, which proved that Cao Xuan had chosen the right direction, the distance between the guardian and Cao Xuan was getting farther and farther away, and his eyes were focused on distinguishing the direction in front of him, there were too few references here, there were too many trees and weeds, and it was very easy to get lost in the dark night, Cao Xuan had to make sure that he did not turn back.
It seems that as long as we maintain this speed, there will be no danger for the time being, and it is estimated that we can completely escape from the pursuit range of the Guardian at a distance, but how did the other party find our traces? Maybe I'm mistaken, it's not a search for prey by sight, it's another way.
Just in the middle of running, Cao Xuan suddenly stopped his progress, directly in front of his feet, the dark hole was mostly covered by vines, if it wasn't for Cao Xuan's timely discovery, I am afraid that he would have been planted directly.
After a general glance, the entrance of the cave was neat on all sides, looking at the deep darkness from below, I don't know where it leads, I wrote down this place in my heart, I wanted to check it afterwards, the urgency of the delay was to escape the pursuit of the guardian first, just about to bypass, a huge force suddenly appeared in the rear, Cao Xuan couldn't dodge, collided with the workers running behind, and fell down together.
There was darkness in front of him, and the pain of the bump on his body stimulated Cao Xuan, trying to move his body, but fortunately it was only a scratch on the skin, not a bone injury, this cave is inclined downwards and not vertical, it seems that my luck is good.
The temperature around was very low, but it was not the kind of cold that the Guardian appeared, but the low temperature of the cave itself, which showed that the Guardian did not keep up, and from the touch point of view, the cave wall was neatly incised, obviously artificially excavated, but it was too dark to find more details.
"Ahhhh
Bang...!
Exclamations and crashes rang out one after another, followed by the painful cries of the workers: "Oops! I've stoned Lao Tzu to death, who is on top of me, get up quickly. ”
It turned out that Yue Ruxue also fell from above and happened to press on the worker, and when he heard the voice of the worker, he hurriedly got up and apologized.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Worker, I'll get up right away, but it's so dark here!"
Cao Xuan came to the two of them with his voice and asked, "Uncle doesn't know if you can use your talent to transform the lights on the construction site, can you try it?" ”
"Don't call me uncle, I can call me Wang Erzhuang or Erzhuang by name, wait for me to try and see if I can conjure it."
The light of the lamp was lit up from Wang Erzhuang's hand, and most of the darkness was dispelled in an instant, and everyone could already see the surrounding scene clearly, maybe the brightness of the lamp was not enough, and the second half of the cave was still an unknown darkness, and while the three of them were looking, a strange percussion sound sounded abruptly in the silence.
Knock knock!
It is the depths of the cave, everyone's eyes are attracted to the past, the unknown sound makes the nerves of several people tense, the lamp is straight in that direction, knowing that they can't see anything, but they are still staring at the darkness at the end, but it is terrifying but makes people more and more curious, what secrets are hidden at the end of the dark cave.
