"Sixth, you stay here, Xue Yang, come with me."

After receiving the news of the home-cooked food in the northeast, Jiang Qian quickly rushed to the center of the island.

After the cracked earth pattern, the gate of time and space is still located above the source of the leyline, and the door with a heavy metal texture is still immovable after several battles, quietly hidden at the intersection of countless worlds, temporarily sealing countless desires.

However, "this door" cannot be stored in the player's locker.

In order to stabilize the conditions for victory and avoid extraneous branches, Jiang Qian strictly controlled the use of all the keys of time and space. In addition to the two keys obtained from Brother Tu and Zhang Bi, a total of 6 keys were obtained from various cities and received payments from those who surrendered to Cheng later, all of which were held in Jiang Qian's hands.

He quickly passed through the gate of time and space, and as he walked, he instructed the Northeast home-cooked food: "Stay here, and send a message to the movement of this door in 5 minutes." ”

"Okay!" Northeast home-cooked food replied attentively.

Jiang Qian kept going underground, through the transparent wall, to the cave where the source of the leylines had been found.

Brother Tu was frowning at the place where the transparent cover prop disappeared.

"When?"

"Just now." Hearing Jiang Qian and the others approaching, Brother Tu turned around and pointed to the sky above the source of the leyline, "When the waves outside were at their peak, this cover suddenly shattered. ”

Jiang Qian looked around: "It's probably the time limit." ”

Brother Tu also nodded in agreement: "Today is the last day here." ”

But there is another possibility, which is related to the reappearance of the Behemoth of the North Sea.

Suppose the Behemoth of the North Sea is the gatekeeper of the Creator's Creation's watchman over the seals, and we are the guardians of the mysterious land from being violated; The hunter represented by the previous Snare had killed another North Sea Behemoth for the first time. It is clear that the Guardians are on the same side as the Behemoth of the North Sea.

It's helping us, and may even have solved some of our unseen problems......

Jiang Qian thought about this, crossed Brother Drag, and walked towards the source of the leyline: "Go to the cave entrance and guard." ”

"Hey, we're about to leave this place, is this necessary?" Brother Tuo symbolically persuaded.

He knew what Jiang Qian was going to do.

Now that the general trend has been decided, Brother Tu believes that Jiang Qian's personal behavior will no longer cause a reversal of the results of the dungeon, as long as it does not affect the victory, then how Jiang Qian "dies" is not his concern.

Even based on the unhappiness of the previous forced contract, he was a little hopeful that Jiang Qian would be unlucky, the car would be destroyed and people would die, and the contract would be directly invalidated.

"Yes for me."

Jiang Qian tightened the watch on his wrist, took out his pen, and threw it down and inserted it into the rock crevice. The fountain pen stretched its neck like a living poisonous snake, and used the tip as an "eye" to watch around.

"Okay, then you pay attention!" After speaking, he walked out.

"Xue Yang, come here." Jiang Qian greeted Xue Yang.

Xue Yang stared at the turbid water surface of the source of the leyline, and after dragging his brother out, he wondered: "Old Jiang, what are you going to do when you call me here......

"Take this."

A key of time and space was placed in Xue Yang's palm, followed by neatly stacked invisibility cloaks.

"Old Jiang, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Qian's eyes were deep, and his tone was as usual: "I am going to use the rest of the time to suck up all the poisonous pollution in the source of the leyline. Later, if I have any accidents, you will put on this invisibility cloak and quietly use the key to open the door of time and space to return to the present moment, this moment, and stop me from doing this. ”

"This, I ......" Xue Yang frowned as he digested Jiang Qian's words, and slowly reached out to take the thing.

"Promise me, Xue Yang, if something goes wrong, I may die."

"it!" Xue Yang almost knocked things over.

But seeing Jiang Qian's consistent expression, Xue Yang knew that it was not a joke.

Therefore, he was so nervous that his tone trembled: "Why, why take such a risk?" You said you wouldn't do meaningless things......"

Jiang Qian smiled: "Do you think I took the risk to eradicate the hidden danger because I was worried about the spread of toxic pollution again?" ”

Xue Yang nodded in a daze, and shook his head desperately.

"It's not meaningless, Xue Yang."

Jiang Qian calmly explained:

"Not to mention the value of this special energy of poisonous pollution, I suspect that the existence of the 'Hungry Ghost Apocalypse' depends on some kind of force beyond our understanding."

"There are many strange things in this, and so far, there is no reasonable answer."

As he spoke, Jiang Qian picked up the key of time and space again from Xue Yang's palm:

"Like this. You know, the Space-Time Gate can't fit into the player's locker, but this Time-Space Key can. ”

"Does this mean that the space-time gate is a copy, but its access is not limited to this copy? Think about it, let's say that one day we need to do things with the help of this prop, what is the most likely way to open it? ”

Xue Yang replied as if he didn't understand: "Come back here and open the door of time and space in the dungeon?" ”

"By anchoring props. I hope that the next time I come back, the world will still be functioning as it is now, and the super-species players will cooperate with the natives here, and no one will wait to approach or disturb Davosae. ”

Xue Yang nodded.

"I see." He held the thing that Jiang Qian handed him steadily, swallowed his saliva and said, "Old Jiang, how sure are you?" Let's make it clear first, no matter how valuable it is, I can't afford to explain it to your sister if something happens! ”

"Remember the time and repeat what I said." Jiang Qian dodged Xue Yang's question.

Although Xue Yang was extremely nervous, he still clearly repeated Jiang Qian's advice just now.

Jiang Qian nodded with satisfaction: "I'll leave it to you." ”

Then he turned around and walked calmly towards the source of the leyline, one step, two steps, three steps......

When he reached a distance of one step away from the source of the leyline, Jiang Qian stopped, crouched down, and waited calmly.

About two minutes later, the pages of the exploration notes were ironed, and it was unfolded to be a message from the home cooking of the Northeast:

"The door isn't moving, everything is normal."

The notebook page burned at Jiang Qian's fingertips.

Jiang Qian stood up, returned to the nervous Xue Yang, and patted the other party's shoulder.

The test just now shows that assuming that Xue Yang acts according to Jiang Qian's instructions, but whenever Jiang Qian has any crisis situation, Xue Yang will come back to stop Jiang Qian's behavior "at the moment" through Jiang Qian's instructions.

Based on Jiang Qian's understanding of Xue Yang and his observation of his current emotions, Jiang Qian judged that he would definitely follow his orders.

But just now, Jiang Qian waited for several minutes and didn't wait for the "signal of obstruction", and the report of Northeast Home Cooking also showed that the door of time and space had never been opened.

In other words, excluding the negligible small probability time, Xue Yang "will never" use the power of the Gate of Time and Space.

Xue Yang stared at Jiang Qian who turned back strangely, and he hadn't reacted to what was going on at this moment.

"Don't worry."

After speaking, Jiang Qian turned back again, returned to the source of the leyline, and decisively stretched out his hands to dip into it.

The poisonous pollution flowed through Jiang Qian's hands and continued to store, gushing endlessly, and the entire leyline trembled.

Xue Yang held the invisibility cloak and the key of time and space that Jiang Qian gave him, and stared at Jiang Qian's back with a nervous expression.

It didn't take long for a familiar copy prompt to hear in my ears:

[The pollution concentration at the source of the leylines has < 50%, and the crisis has been temporarily lifted. 】

Every Guardian player has heard such a tip.

Brother Tu, who has returned to the ground, and the sixth brother of the canyon who is guarding the edge of the island, is a player who was forcibly reversed by Jiang Qian as an experimental subject......

"Someone is cleaning up the pollution at the source of the leyline, is it a hidden dragon that should not be used?"

"Remove all toxic contamination? Why, is that what we can do? ”

"What a daring artist! If I were him, I wouldn't bother to bother with this place, I really don't want to stay in this place for a day......"

……

Some people are surprised, some people sigh, and some people are suspicious.

However, these voices were eventually drowned out in the frequent dungeon prompts:

[The pollution concentration at the source of the leylines has < 40%, and the crisis has been temporarily lifted. 】

[The pollution concentration at the source of the leylines has < 20%, and the crisis has been temporarily lifted. 】

[The pollution concentration at the source of the leylines has < 10%......]

In the continuously decreasing pollution index, most of the doubts and sighs turned to amazement, marveling at the terrifying control of the "poison" by the hidden dragon.

The source of the leylines.

The continuous absorption of toxic pollution is causing Jiang Qian to be in a state of high tension and extreme excitement.

When the concentration of toxic pollution was reduced to 5%, Jiang Qian finally experienced a feeling called "fullness" for the first time, followed by a top-heavy feeling of "dizziness", a sign of overdrinking.

This means that the body's stock of "poison" is about to reach its peak.

But he didn't stop.

The "crossing test" on Xue Yang reassured him and boldly tested the threshold.

But Xue Yang himself was in a hurry!

"Old Jiang, are you okay?"

"It's coming." Jiang Qian's tone was calm, but the green tendons on his arms and neck had protruded, and the pressure was visible to the naked eye.

"No, that's not right!" Xue Yang realized that something was wrong, and he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, "Old Jiang, stop, now the dangerous atmosphere in this cave is about to explode!" ”

But Jiang Qian was like losing consciousness and had no feedback.

Xue Yang was in a dilemma for a few seconds, finally dropped his things, and rushed to Jiang Qian's side to try to pull Jiang Qian out of the water, but as soon as he got closer, he was stunned by a powerful anger on the spot!

"Don't come here, Xue Yang."

Jiang Qian "pulled" an arm from the source of the leylines with some difficulty, and the hand soaked in the leylines was torn and turned out, and there was dark black juice slowly overflowing from the dripping flesh and blood, and the state was cruel and terrifying!

"What the are you doing?!"

"To contain this kind of toxic pollution with special functions, there is always a price to pay, which is acceptable."

Xue Yang stared at Jiang Qian's arm in shock, unable to say a word for a long time.

He gritted his teeth and roared! rushed forward with a hard head, grabbed Jiang and dragged him back to the shore!

Almost at the same time, a prompt sounded in everyone's ears:

[The pollution concentration at the source of the leylines has <1%, and the crisis has been resolved. 】

[Hidden Mission: Leyline Crisis has been resolved.] 】

[Congratulations to the players: ...... You have survived the Hungry Doom quest for 72 days! The main quest has been completed, will it be settled? 】

……

Do you want to go to checkout?

……

In his increasingly chaotic consciousness, Jiang Qian looked back on the experiences of the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" for 72 days:

On the verge of uncontrollable hunger, the arduous choice of the path of appetite, the path of exploration deep in the ideal town, the source of the catastrophe; The alliance with the old six and others in the canyon, the chaos of the second coordinate announcement, the bait, the net, the postman, and the other five branches that surfaced; Crisis response, temptation, cooperation, bitter battles and pulls in the mysterious land of the North Sea military fortress......

And then, victory.

The nightmare cycle is broken, the Guardian Alliance participates in the grand event, and every means is used to break up the Hunter camp and incorporate itself, planting lies and beliefs, fulfilling lies, saying goodbye to human allies, fireworks spreading the night sky, and the carnival of Guardian players! Behind the pleasure, the elaborate ambush, the appearance of the giant beast of the North Sea......

Finally, the leyline tumor was completely eradicated.

What must be done, and what can not be done, have been done.

From the initial "I just want to take Xue Yang away safely", to the accidental completion of countless experimental exercises, to the thorough refinement of the benefits of healing mutations, and then to being attracted by the interesting side lines and high-value tools of this dungeon, and gradually going deeper and deeper to find the source.

】

What should be obtained and what should not be obtained has been laughed at.

Loaded on.

Jiang Qianqian opened his eyes!

It was still pitch black in front of me, and there was no light in sight.

But he still spared no effort to pronounce those two words—

"Settlement."

【Settlement......

Still a familiar sound, the data is tiled out of view in a familiar format:

【Initial State Loading ......】

[Player ID: Don't Use the Hidden Dragon]

【Identity Badge: Beetle Snake】

【Genus:Divine Beast】

[Level: Tri-State Fusion (5% of XP)]

[Skills: Spiritual Vision, Poison Resistance, Snake Shadow Sneaking; fangs, sacs, devourers; Scuba Swimming, Scale Armor, Wind Resistance】

【Identity Badge: Dragon】

【Genus:Divine Beast】

[Level: Evaluating ......]

【Skill: Unknown】

……

Jiang Qian felt that his consciousness was in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake, like a drunkard who thought he was awake, but his limbs and brain refused to cooperate.

Wait a minute?

Jiang Qianqian suddenly realized that his settlement interface seemed to have undergone some unusual change.

That ice dragon card at the bottom of the box seems to be ......?

Before he could turn a corner, a new list of information began:

[Dungeon cleared: AM2012 dungeon - The Hungry Ghost Apocalypse]

[Genre: Multiple Deaths]

[Difficulty Level: Nightmare (A)]

【Stake Chip: Super Matter Crystal*30】

[Main quest completed!] 80% completion rate (at the time of settlement, the player's breath is still alive, but it is only alive)]

[The side quest "Source of Cataclysm" has been completed!] 100% completion rate】

[The hidden mission "Nightmare Reincarnation" has been completed!] 100% completion rate】

[The hidden mission "Leyline Resurgence" has been completed!] 100% completion rate】

[Special Assessment: Congratulations to the player for not using the hidden dragon, and getting the evaluation of this "MVP player" of "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse"! ] 】

【Quest Reward Distribution......】

Jiang Qian frowned slightly.

In a series of "100% completion rate", there is a sudden rise of 80% of the main quest completion rate, which puzzles him:

It's just that the skin tissue of the arms is ulcerated, and the consciousness is affected by the toxic pollution, and it is not possible to think like a normal person for the time being, so there is no need to exaggerate the evaluation......

Fortunately, this did not affect him to get the special rating of "MVP player".

This is the first time he has received this kind of evaluation technique, and he remembers that Lan Junxian said it in one passing by at the beginning: This is an exclusive title that requires the duration of the dungeon and the player capacity to exceed a certain level before it can be issued.

Players who have obtained this title will gain more XP points when the dungeon is settled!

As soon as I thought of this, the settlement reward came to me:

[XP Reward: 120%!] 】

[Item Reward: Space-Time Gate (Imitation) Time-Space Key*5 (Consumables) 4-Panel Window]

【Chip Reward: Matter Crystal*30】

……

Experience points are indeed in excess of the supply.

120%, shameful waste...... Jiang Qian was a little sore at that time.

Obviously, you only need to add another 95% of experience points to achieve promotion qualification, isn't this extra 25% for nothing?

In addition, the imitation of the Gate of Time and Space, which corresponds to the Key of Time and Space, is also within the conjecture range of Jiang Qian's expected use of props.

The real space-time gate belongs to the dungeon and cannot be taken out in the form of items, so the dungeon gives the space-time gate the use function, and I am afraid that the number of times the item can be used is limited according to the number of keys. Great, even if you can only use it a few times, it's quite a reward...... Jiang Qian thought so, and at the same time quickly checked the specific content of the item reward:

[Name: The Gate of Time and Space (Imitation)]

[Type: Daily necessities]

[Function: Traverse]

[Introduction: An eclectic genius traveler visits many mysterious worlds, collects countless indescribable precious materials, and refines to create a magical tool that can go to any time and place, called "The Gate of Time and Space". The cost of using the door is pitiful, it only requires you to go from one side of the door to the other. But the cost of using it is terrifying. This imitation is a real "time and space gate", because this door is a fake, it can only go to a single place for a limited time; But fortunately, it's just as cheap to use and negligible. 】

[Usage: Open the door and walk in.] 】

[Note: You are separated from the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse". 】

Jiang Qian: ???

Typos and flaws are corrected first.
