Chapter Eighty-Five: The Cave Is My Home

9.5 per cent for option I, 61.9 per cent for option two, 4.8 per cent for option three, 19 per cent for option four and 4.8 per cent for option five.

……

[Option 2]

[Mine]: There are a lot of metals and abandoned mine tools.

……

The earth rumbles and the sky changes color.

The moving, ambushing, and fighting monsters raised their heads.

The timed field effect is here. Mountains rise, plains concave.

And many terrains are affected by this, cracking from them.

Opportunity!

The "Alliance" who had left the Abyss Field in the first round—and now, the four of them were acting together—looked at each other.

They have always feared the elusive summon of the former Chief Tao Tao: the Abyss Dragon. Powerful hot rays, invulnerable scales, and giant claws and tails more powerful than any weapon.

Be sure to set fire to get rid of it.

As soon as the fog cleared, they went in search of the Abyssal Dragon.

Now, all the sites are put together, and there are quite a few observation points with a wide view. Its size must be eye-catching!

…… However, they were wrong.

Can't find it.

Thirty minutes had passed since the start of the game. They even sacrificed part of their time hunting demonic beasts to go to the narrow abyss massif. However, the Abyssal Dragon was still nowhere to be seen.

"It must be hiding somewhere......"

The male player led by him gritted his teeth.

That's when the venue began to change.

"Field Effect!"

The male players were overjoyed.

The Abyssal Dragon's size is extremely large! When the venue changes, it is bound to reveal its form—

"Find it! I'm sure I'll find it this time! ”

He commanded the crowd to disperse.

……

What the player didn't know was that no matter how much he scattered to search, he couldn't find the Abyss Dragon.

Because, Tao Tao is not summoning the Abyss Dragon. Moreover, she is not in a striking environment at all.

Mine.

Ding——

Ding Bell –

The sound of percussion echoed deep in the tunnel.

In the darkness, the darker fur of the giant bear-man filled all the space. It slowly lifted the abandoned minecart and placed it on its giant claws.

The minecart was flipped over, revealing the steel wheels underneath.

The bearman threw his fist at the top of his fist.

Ding-bell!

The bottom of the minecart collides with the surface of the mine, and sparks splash in the dark.

When the long grow!

A large chunk of copper-iron ore was knocked off the surface of the cavern and fell to the ground.

"Well done."

Tao Tao slowly approached in the darkness and whispered. With a slight wave of her hand, the bearman threw away the minecart that had turned into a pile of wood chips and picked up a pickaxe.

Knock, knock.

The bearman hammers the bottom of the draft into the stakes scattered along the tracks.

Bells, bells.

The bearman then hammered the ends of the pickaxe into each end of the large ore mixture.

"Roaring ......"

The bear-man let out a low roar and raised an upgraded pickaxe.

Now, that can't be called a pickaxe. Now in the bearman's hand is a large, double-edged blunt axe.

"Excellent, bearman."

Tao Tao whispered praise to her summoned beast.

"Next, let's try our weapons."

The bear-man turned back with a double-edged blunt axe.

Overhead, a huge centipede that did not appear rashly because of the loud noise. Slowly, its tentacles peeked out of the darkness.

……

【Tao Tao: Points +5】

"Damn it!"

Seeing Tao Tao rise one place in the order to fifth place, the male player, who is the leader of the "League", smashed his fist hard against the mountain wall on the side.

"Damn, her score keeps going up...... Can't find ...... What's going on!? The Abyss Dragon is so eye-catching, how can it not be found? ”

"Because she didn't summon the Abyss Dragon at all."

A female voice came from behind. The male player jerked his head back.

"Yo, Zida."

A female contestant waved at him.

"Guo Shuang......"

The leader of the league named Zida stared warily at the female players.

"Hey, you don't have to be so vigilant, I'm here to help you."

“…… Guo Shuang, your actions are also very strange. Zida lowered his voice and said, "For so many years, you have been using the magic sniper rifle, and the positioning has always been to support the combat squad players behind the back. However, when you signed up for this year's competition, you suddenly announced that you were partnering with a classmate from the Magic Guidance Department and using the Magic Guiding Machine. ”

"You're really well-informed."

“……”

"It's all said, don't be so vigilant."

The female contestant named Guo Shuang smiled.

"I know where Tao Tao is. I'm here to tell you about it. ”

……

The earth rustled. After a moment of silence, a massive double-edged blunt axe slashed through the boulder blocked at the end of the tunnel.

The tall bear-man crawled out from beneath the mine with its magister in his arms.

"Hoo ......"

Tao Tao wiped the ash and sweat from his forehead and opened his watch.

[Fifth place: Tao Tao: 98 points]

"Hit several large monsters...... No one came to the mine, which was a great help. She looked at the scoreboard, "Fifth place." ”

Forty minutes have passed. The players who chose to hunt certain medium-sized monsters at the beginning of the sprint were tired, and the players who chose to hunt small monsters alternately took the top spot, while the players who chose to hunt large monsters slowly rose in the rankings.

Regardless of the change in form, Tao Tao's ranking has remained very stable.

She glanced at the bear-man with the giant axe.

"Good. The weapon is also quite handy. Take advantage of this opportunity to go to more venues that are less popular with others—"

However, she couldn't finish her words.

Rustling.

The bushes at the exit of the mine shook.

"Warcraft!?"

Tao Tao's first reaction was to be wary, but soon, she realized that something was wrong.

"It's not like ...... That's a lot ......"

Rustle.

Rustle.

The groves parted.

The Magister stepped out from behind the bushes. One, two......

More than a dozen Magisters surrounded Tao Tao from different directions.

And Tao Tao saw at a glance the male player who was the leader of the "Alliance" who had seen in the [Abyss Field].

"I said I couldn't find it."

The male player smiled narrowly.

"It turns out that you changed one. There's a lot of summonings. What's this time? Bear people? ”

“…… Ambush ......"

Tao Tao saw sweat on his forehead.

How do they know they're here?

Tao Tao was already shocked in his heart, but he didn't dare to show a panicked expression on his face.

"Roar......" the bearman growled, twin-bladed blunt axe across his chest.

The location is completely touched. What's going on? If you don't use the Abyss Dragon, you can be found too? Did anyone spy on me?

(There are too many people!) Must retreat first! )”

Tao Tao patted back. The bearman stepped back, trying to hide back into the tunnel—

"Don't let her run!"

Zida gave an order. Colorful spell light shoots into the entrance of the mine.

"Block!"

The Great Axe is unleashed. The spell light slammed into the great axe, clanging and refracting in all directions.

"Okay, good, steady, bearman, back off-"

Just when Tao Tao thought that "you can still fight and retreat, there is always a chance to escape".

Suddenly, she lost her balance.

“——!?”

It's the bearman who has one foot in the air!

In the tunnel, which was still solid ground, a large hole appeared at some point.

"-Oops-ah!!"

"Roar!"

Tao Tao exclaimed. She and the bear-man fell into the darkness together.

……

Dark.

Tell me about it.

The snort and footsteps of the monster.

“…… Mutter...... Hmmm......"

Tao Tao propped his head and got up from the bear man's belly.

She looked up. Above, the hole when it fell into it was so small that it was almost invisible.

The bear man also slowly got up.

With the light falling through the hole, she saw herself fall into the depths of the mine, where she had just passed through it.

In terms of drop location, it doesn't seem bad.

And the bears ......

Roar.

The bearman let out a low growl. It seems that its armor and long hair are stronger than expected.

"It's best that you're okay."

Tao Tao whispered.

……

How could there suddenly be a big hole in the mine?

At present, the change of the venue makes Zheng Zhuo, who is in charge of the change of the venue, also puzzled.

The foreman has not yet given any instructions, which is ......

Change Lighting Status.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the foreman's instructions.

It's not about changing the venue, it's about changing the lighting.

For Tao Tao who fell into a deep pit for unknown reasons, will this be a well-timed field effect?

……
