Which way to go?

"Men on the left and women on the right, so of course Erxiao chooses to go to the left!"

"What's there to worry about? No matter which way you go, there must be a way to come back in the end, and that's the case with Ori. ”

"It's over! Rush Rush! ”

The barrage was also right, Er Xiao nodded slightly, and then decisively chose the right.

On the platform on the right, I saw a new little bug, round and oval-shaped, which looked quite cute.

The monster was weak and was hacked to death with only three swords, but it still heroically hit the little knight and caused him a little damage.

But after three attacks, he also managed to accumulate the soul value used to return one block of blood, and in general, he did not lose or earn.

For now, Er Xiao still hasn't felt the difficulty of this game.

Jumping up to the right with the platform, in the background of an unusually empty large room, stood a semi-circle, like the head of a bug, a strange building appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Are the three masks on this door exactly the same as the seal in the opening CG?"

"Erxiao, go in and have a look."

As you walk into this building, the words "Black Egg Temple" appear in the lower right corner of the screen.

In the center of the room, a seal with three masks on it is the same as in the CG and comes into view.

Next to this seal, the little knight also ran into a second NPC, Quiroh.

This is a slender insect with a sword on its left waist.

He claims to be a traveler who is especially fond of unknown places, and the seal in front of him, known as the "stone egg" in his mouth, is the biggest puzzle of the kingdom.

The conversation with Quiro did not reveal much of the secrets of Hallownest, but only increased our suspicions.

"Why are the NPCs here all riddlers, I still don't know what the little knight is going to do."

"yes, what the hell is this stone egg, can't you say it more clearly?"

"The plot of Ori is quite clear, and we knew from the beginning that Ori was to save the dilapidated Nepalese mountains."

It wasn't until this NPC had no new dialogue that Er Xiao still explored the inside of the Black Egg Temple, and it wasn't until she found nothing that she reluctantly retreated.

Continuing to the right, Er Xiao finally encountered the first difficulty in this game.

A large insect with a huge weapon like a mammoth's tusks.

At the beginning, Er Xiao didn't know how to go up and slash at this big insect, but when the giant tooth smashed on the top of the little knight's head, and two of the original five masks disappeared in an instant, Er Xiao panicked.

"! Brothers, this monster's attack power is so high! ”

Er Xiao hurriedly retreated, trying to distance himself to restore his own HP.

But as the big insect sat down behind him hard, a huge white shockwave struck, and Er Xiao, who was recovering his blood volume, was directly hit and was deducted a mask again.

The less blood volume, the more panicked he became, Er Xiao's heart was crossed, and he rushed over directly and waved the weapon in his hand again, wanting to directly fight the damage and kill the big insect in front of him.

The reality is that the weapon in Er Xiao's hand is like tickling, and the big insect is not moving, but as he slashes down, the little knight who was hit died violently!

As the black substance in his body continued to spew out, a pitch-black soul emerged from the little knight's body.

As soon as the screen turned, the little knight appeared on the bench in Delmouth.

"Dish!"

"Laughing to death, Erxiao stood there like a pig's nose and was beaten by others, hahaha."

"When someone beats you, you just stand there and let people beat you? Can't you hide back? ”

Looking at the barrage on the screen, they were all talking about their own dishes, Er Xiao waved his hand and said calmly:

"It's not a big problem, okay, I already know how that monster should have fought just now, who hasn't died a few times after playing the game?"

But then, Er Xiao seemed to have discovered something.

"! Brothers! Where's my money? And why did my soul groove break? ”

Isn't it, the original more than 100 pieces on Erxiao's body have disappeared directly, and the soul slot in the upper left corner that could originally return to the blood volume of three masks is now limited to the level of two masks.

There were also different opinions on the barrage.

"Won't you...... Death loses all the money, and the more you die, the heavier the punishment? ”

"I'm playing with something very new, I really don't think that permadeath in the Dark Dungeon is the best design, right?

Don't count the sales gap between Ori and the Dark Dungeon? ”

"After I died, I remember that the little knight had a dark soul floating out, and Erxiao will go back and take a look."

Because of the ultra-high death penalty in front of the dark dungeon, for a while, many netizens in the live broadcast room also got the same PTSD.

To be reasonable, the death punishment of Ori at that time was very well designed, why are you not good at learning the dark dungeon?

"Don't worry, brothers, I'll go back and see what the situation is."

Er Xiao was afraid that the rhythm would be brought up by some people again, so without saying a word, he went directly down the well and walked again.

Because he already knows the distribution of the monsters on the right, Er Xiao is also a lot more proficient, without saying a word, he exploded and slashed, and he came to the room of the big bug just now in a minute.

At this moment, a soul that looked exactly like us, except for the pitch black, floated in the air of the room.

The moment they saw us, they flew towards us.

"What is this?"

Er Xiao manipulated the little knight to actively want to collide with this soul, and at the moment of contact between the two sides, with the familiar injury effect, the mask in the upper left corner was directly rubbed off.

"Why is my soul still attacking me!"

Er Xiao's face was puzzled, but the movements in his hands did not stagnate.

With just two swords, the black soul was killed by the little knight, and turned into a black substance, which was poured into the little knight's body.

At this time, in the upper right corner of the interface, the little knight's originally broken soul groove was repaired, and the lost more than 100 yuan was also returned.

"It turns out that this is the design, after death, there will be a legacy, as long as you can go back and pick up your soul again, it is equivalent to no punishment."

"Then the question is, what if you don't pick up your soul after you die, and then you die again?"

"I suggest trying."

The audience in the live broadcast room was still discussing fiercely, but Er Xiao was already waving his weapon at this time and rushed towards the big bug that killed him before.

It's bound to be shameful!

A minute later.

"Ahh

With a scream from Erxiao, she was knocked to death by a stick from the giant fangs.

Although the screen is almost full of dishes, there are still helpful suggestions from those who can see clearly:

"Pig nose! I can see it all, this big bug's attack method is very simple, it hits you, you just go backwards, he puts a shockwave and you can jump up and dodge.

Don't be greedy for knives, just hit it every time. ”

Erxiao's eyes lit up, he was full of confidence, and immediately decided to fight again!

Running the map, picking up souls, being killed, and so on.

But each time, Er Xiao left more wounds on the big bug's body than before.

Finally, when Er Xiao died for the fourth time, as Er Xiao jumped high to avoid the seismic waves set off by the big bug, the moment when he swung a knife at the bug!

The big bug fell to the ground with a bang!

And then, there were coins flying in the sky!

"Wuhu!"

Er Xiao jumped up from the seat excitedly, his face filled with infinite excitement,

"Brothers, do you think of my cock?"

"Shut up, you don't have that thing?"

"I don't really approve of such a simple mob that has died three times."

“GKD！”

Er Xiao didn't care if she didn't get the praise she wanted, because defeating a strong enemy had already brought her an indescribable sense of satisfaction in her heart.

After a strong enemy, there must be treasure.

A green caterpillar locked in a purple jar is making some cute little noises.

Without saying a word, the little knight broke the jar, but the expected thanks did not appear, and the little insect just croaked, and then disappeared into the ground.

Er Xiao didn't care, and continued to explore the map downward.

Underneath the room of the great monster that had killed her three times, a landscape completely different from the Forgotten Crossroads came into view—the purple color that represented crystals.

Here, Er Xiao met a bug lady named Mira who likes to hum songs while mining.

She claimed to have come here for the ore and the abundance of treasure.

But after that, the little knight spoke to her, and there was no more useful information, and she was silent in her own world, intently digging for the purple crystal.

Erxiao continued to go up, and soon, there was no road ahead.

It's just that when the little knight stepped on it, the rock wall that kept trembling told everyone that this was a "puzzle" like Ori that needed to be broken before it could continue to go down.

"Dead end, this should be explored later."

Er Xiao explained, but there was a vague feeling of happiness in his heart.

For a road idiot like her, finding a dead end will inexplicably have a sense of peace of mind.

It's probably a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder of "since it's a dead end, then I haven't leaked anything".

The little knight came out of the mine again, and the road led to the left, and the monsters on the way were not particularly powerful.

This continued to the left until the young knight came to a room with a dense platform running through it.

This time, Er Xiao chose to go up.

According to the map design of Ori, the various parts of the map must be connected and not linear.

She chose to go right at the mouth of the well just now, and now she has walked so much distance to the left, and it is possible to come to the place where she goes down the well.

Erxiao didn't talk nonsense, and manipulated the little knight to climb up cautiously.

And the results naturally confirmed Er Xiao's speculation.

When the little knight stood on the platform on the left side of the shaft and looked out over the passage leading to Uttermouth, the big guys were excited.

"That's right, that's right! It should be designed like this, there are many options for routes, but in the end, they will definitely end up in the same way! ”

"So, it doesn't really make a difference whether you end up to the left or right, and as we explore, we will eventually see all the scenery."

"To be reasonable, I've played a lot of Olympic-like games on the market, and I can really make the picture so comfortable, only the original intention, only Mr. Luo!"

Erxiao didn't return to Uttermouth, she turned to the left, but she was also pleasantly surprised to see the final destination of the little bug she had just saved.

A hill made of countless stone eggs with small holes stood there.

The worm we had just rescued had made its home in one of the stone eggs, and at the top of the mountain, an old bug with a white beard was standing, looking very depressed.

But as we approached, he waved his hand and threw coins at us, as a reward for saving the little worm.

"Old guy, it's a hard shot!"

"He's so old and loves to scatter coins, so let's call him old coins."

"It's okay to shave coins, hahaha."

"This should be the in-game collection element, and there must be a lot of bugs hidden on the map waiting for us to rescue."

"But what's the use of money? Now Er Xiao has also saved three hundred dollars. ”

What exactly is the use of money? You'll find out right away.

As the knight descends the room, he finally meets one of the game's most useful NPCs, the Cartographer.

It was a large mosquito in a pile of scrolls, wearing thick glasses and a bloated body.

However, in the conversation with this cartographer, there was a sentence that made Er Xiao feel deeply:

"My nature is passionate about exploration, and the joy of finding the right path again after getting lost is incomparable; You and I are very lucky. ”

For 30 bucks, you can buy a map of Dentmouth and the Forgotten Crossroads from the Cartographer.

However, when Erxiao pressed the map button on the controller......

"This is the map? It's too abstract, it's just some simple dotted lines, and you don't even know where you are. ”

"You get what you pay for, it's only thirty yuan, what else, hahaha."

"This big mosquito sticker should be where we are, to be reasonable, people are still very accurate.

From this map, I was able to recognize the Black Egg Nest we had just passed. ”

As we continue to talk to Big Mosquito, he will also tell us that his wife, Isselda, has a small shop in Detemouth, and all we need to do is buy a compass from her to find her location on a map.

Just because he was afraid that he would encounter some difficult strong enemy on the road, causing him to lose all his money, Er Xiao did not continue to explore downward, but turned upward and returned to Detmouth.

The main thing is to be cautious.

By this time, a small shop had opened in Dentmouth.

A thin female mosquito stood behind the counter, complaining fiercely about her husband who liked to run around uncontrollably, which made people laugh.

And when she opened her shop, there were two useful things among the many items.

"Wayward compass", "quill".

The former can indicate our location on the map for 220, and the latter can complete the map that the Great Mosquito has not finished drawing, and costs 120.

Because of a lot of money piles cut on the road, and because he died a few more times, the money on his body was just right.

And as the little knight sat back in his chair.

[Mapping]

Immediately, we also equipped the first amulet in the game, "Wayward Compass". And in the Equipment & Items tab, we see our weapons and abilities.

Old bone nails, gather souls.

Further to the left.

A new, more detailed map has appeared.

With the compass equipped, the position of Dentmouth appeared with a small knight's head sticker, which was extremely intuitive.

"It's much more convenient to have a map, and it's clear what places you've been to and what haven't been."

"I should have come to the left first."

"Actually, there is no difference, even if you come first and get the map on the left, you can go to the right to see it later."

Fantastic worlds, interesting bugs, NPCs with different classes, powerful monsters, malicious traps, and collectibles scattered around the map......

Although it is only a half-hour journey, including Er Xiao, and all the players in the live broadcast room, they have been deeply immersed in the wonderful and magnificent world in front of them.
