Chapter 40: There is a spirit fox in the depths of the earth
Shao Yang glanced at the "map" displayed on his mobile phone and estimated the position below, he should have entered the cave for more than 10 kilometers.
It's a pity that the mobile phone has long been unable to "locate" and can only estimate the location.
Even this map, Shao Yang used 2 points to redeem it from the official, E-602 Ruins, a map of more than 50% of the area.
Don't think it's a low percentage......
You know, the exploration of this kind of ruins has always required a lot of manpower and material resources, the area inside is very vast, all kinds of accidents, countless dangers, as far as the current map, is still the result of years of official exploration.
Of course, the so-called 50% is only a speculation based on the current situation.
In other words, if new discoveries are made later, the unknown area could become more numerous at any time......
The annotations on the map are still very detailed.
Among them, the outer 20%, that is, the areas where the major forces are often active, were mostly in this area before Shaoyang, and the last 10% are the areas where various official "tasks" are concentrated.
The further 20% is basically the area covered by "exploration" type missions.
Further down, a large number of unknown areas will basically be involved in high-level superpowers, or official large-scale operations.
- Of course, this is only an approximate proportion, not very precise.
After all, the cave is winding, there are many forks, and there is an area with a large underground river flowing through the depths, and it is impossible to accurately locate them, so the various areas are intersecting with each other.
It is likely that I thought it was the outermost 20%, but in fact, it has already involved deeper places......
Shao Yang entered the cave this time to complete a task of "collecting ironwood". Ironwood, a plant that often appears in the depths of such relics, contains a rich aura, and has a hard texture, like gold and iron, and is a material often used in refining low-grade magic weapons.
However, due to the need to search deep into the deeper 20% of the area, this mission is also very dangerous, and it is considered to be one of the more dangerous E-class missions.
Of course, in exchange, the rewards for this quest are also high:
1 point for every meter long.
This kind of iron wood is hard, so even in this kind of cave with a strong aura, it generally does not grow very tall, but it is always two or three meters.
In other words, if you find a piece of ironwood, you can generally always redeem 2-3 points.
If the quality is better, it may be higher.
It's a very rewarding quest.
Shao Yang wanted to accumulate points quickly, and after some consideration, he decided to try this task.
Of course, if you encounter other tasks along the way, you can also complete them easily.
The deeper you go, the darker it becomes, and there is hardly the slightest light. Shao Yang's eyes flashed with a faint glow, and he had already run the "Phantom Eye" technique, and his vision suddenly became much clearer, and the scenery appeared in shadows.
This is the eye technique that he spent 3 points to exchange before he came, plus the map that was exchanged for 2 points, and most of the points have been spent before the task is done!
Shao Yang was also helpless.
The ruins are so vast that you can't find your way without a map, and your vision is so poor that you can't see anything without all kinds of eyesight......
Along the way, Shaoyang only met a few spider people, and it was over.
There is little to gain.
Suddenly, Shao Yang heard a few small footsteps coming from the side, he didn't dare to be careless, knowing that all kinds of strange lives were emerging in this cave, so he dodged, and Shao Yang hid in a recess of a cave wall.
There was silence all around.
But Shao Yang was sure that he had heard the sound before, so he still lurked patiently. However, he was helpless, if he had more points in his hand, he should really exchange for secret techniques such as "Prophet", "Breaking Concealment" and so on, and the investigation in this case would be much easier.
Suddenly, Shao Yang's heart moved, and he turned his head to look to the left, but he saw that there was a gray shadow at some point!
Two faint rays of light appeared there, staring at it.
Shao Yang was startled, and his body quickly popped back!
Sure enough, he saw that the gray shadow opened its mouth, and no sound came out, but Shao Yang only felt that his head was buzzing, and where he was standing, the rock wall exploded with a "bang", and countless rubble rolled down one after another.
And in this mess, the gray shadow suddenly disappeared from the spot!
Shao Yang rolled, his heart was empty, and the thistle sword popped out of its sheath, bringing up a dark light, and slid towards his side.
Qiang –
In the sound of the clash of gold and iron, the gray shadow seen before was stopping there, and the two furry claws were held in front of him, and he actually caught one of his swords with a pair of fleshy palms.
"Earth fox?"
Shao Yang had already identified that this was the strange life that was quite famous in this ruin.
They are born like foxes, but their essence is like a gray shadow, as long as they lurk and do not move, they will melt into the rock wall like a shadow in a while.
Especially in the depths of the dimly lit ruins, it is even more difficult to read!
I don't know how many superpowers have been injured by them!
Of course, these ground foxes also have a high value, a complete ground fox, the corpse is worth 6 points, and the living one is as high as 12 points, and if you meet a buyer who is asking for these ground foxes, it is possible to sell them for a higher price.
A ground fox is already worthy of Shao Yang to do a few tasks, so Shao Yang is also very excited.
Nethereye!
Shao Yang's eyes flickered, and he tightly locked the position of the ground fox.
Swift forward.
However, this earth fox is really a very cunning and cautious life, and after two unsuccessful shots in a row, it already has the intention of retreating. Its figure was locked under Shao Yang's eyes, slowly crouching, silently blending into the rock wall.
Shao Yang swept in front of him, of course, he pounced, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, because of the fragments of time, there were really too many strange lives.
Of course, it can't be allowed to escape so easily!
Shao Yang ran the "Body Technique", stepped a few meters away in a hurry, followed the shadow of the ground fox on the rock wall, and stabbed straight with his sword-
Snort!
The ground exploded at any time, but the fox had already scurried to the ground, like a gray shadow wriggling, but the speed was extremely fast, and it had escaped several meters in the blink of an eye.
This is the reason why Dihu can redeem such high points!
Shao Yang's footsteps did not stop, and he continued to chase after the "body technique".
He learned this set of body techniques from Jing Ke in the fragment of time in "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin", and after leaving the dungeon, he practiced diligently and finally mastered the introduction. At this time, although it is far less agile than this fox, it is also fast.
Therefore, the ground fox was running in the fork in the depths of the cave, but Shao Yang was chasing closer and closer!
