The system's beep sounded in the minds of everyone in the group.
"ha?"
"what happened?"
"What's wrong?"
Everyone was stunned and turned around.
But all I saw was.
Of the originally five-person team, there were only four left at this moment.
And in everyone's team panel, there are only four player avatars left.
Within "Holy Spirit", whether in the jungle, a copy or a secret realm.
Player team members must stay within a physical distance from each other.
Once this distance is exceeded, members will disconnect and automatically leave the team.
So a lot of the time.
When players are leveling up in places they are not very familiar with, group members will not be too spread out, just to avoid similar things happening.
Especially in places like and.
Because in this kind of place, the function cannot be used.
There is only one way to communicate, and that is the team voice channel.
"Lu...where's classmate Lu?"
Melanie looked around blankly.
"Classmate Meng En."
"Didn't you see him just now?"
Chen Xun blinked and asked doubtfully:
"You were walking at the back just now. Did you see where he went in the end?"
Meng En shook his head:
"No."
"He seemed to have discovered something just now, and he has been observing the situation under the cave entrance."
"Then I didn't pay attention to him for a while, and then I suddenly heard the notification sound just now."
Meng En took a few steps back, frowning, pointing in a certain direction with a serious expression:
"He seemed to be in this place just now."
"But now I can't see anyone else."
"Oh my god..."
Milani's originally pink and tender face suddenly turned pale at this moment:
"Student Lu, he doesn't know how to do it. He shouldn't know how to..."
"Drop it, drop it..."
Chen Xun was also frightened. He quickly rolled his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly toward the bottom of the cave entrance:
"Classmate Lu!"
"Lu Qingge!"
"Are you there, Lu Qingge!"
"Squeak, Lu Qingge!"
"..."
A roar like a loud bell immediately echoed throughout the open room.
However, no matter how hard Chen Xun tried, no one got a response from Lu Qingge.
"Ruined……"
Chen Xun leaned against the rock wall, his body went limp, and he weakly slid down along it:
"Student Lu must have fallen!"
"Then what should we do?"
Milani's voice was trembling as she said: "
Do we still want to move forward? "
"Should we hurry back to the exit and report to the academy?"
"But even if I go back and report it, it's useless..."
Chen Xun unconsciously grabbed his hair hard:
"The entrance has been closed!"
"No one from outside can get in. There is no way to send a search and rescue team over!"
Milani is already sluggish:
"Then...then should we go down and save the way...Student Lu?"
Chen Xun looked into the deep darkness:
"I think so too, but this..."
"Isn't it possible?"
Meng En sighed and said:
"indeed so."
He closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows anxiously:
"This cave entrance is really too deep."
"And there's just no way down."
"What's more, we have no idea what's going on there."
"The most important thing is that we can't get a reply from Lu Qingge."
"So the high probability is that he has encountered something unexpected down there."
"If we continue to follow blindly at this time."
"The absolute possibility is that the same ending awaits us."
Chen Xun was a little anxious:
"Then there's really nothing we can do?"
Chen Xun stood up and clenched his fists tightly:
"Lu Qingge is our teammate!"
"Although I'm terrible at my cultural classes."
"But I still remember the first article of the World Brave Charter."
Chen Xun said excitedly: "Believe in your teammates, protect your teammates, and never give up on your teammates!"
"Calm down first, Chen Xun."
Meng En patted Chen Xun's shoulder, sighed softly and said:
"None of us want this to happen."
"But what we need to do now is to think carefully about what we should do next."
Under the patient comfort of Meng En's soft words, Chen Xun and Milani's emotions gradually calmed down.
From beginning to end.
Xia Yubing just stood aside quietly, silently.
Her eyes looked at Meng En calmly.
Under the calm lake of eyes, there seemed to be some undercurrent slowly surging.
…
ten minutes later.
After some discussion, everyone decided on their next plan.
——Keep moving forward and conquer the copy.
Until the end, the BOSS was killed.
And this is almost the only way it is possible to find Lu Qingge.
Because as long as they kill the lord, they will have cleared the secret realm.
As long as they clear the secret realm, they can tour the entire secret realm in any character form.
They can fly around the secret map like dragonflies.
It can penetrate rock walls like a transparent soul and ignore the obstruction of any object.
As early as version 1.0, a group of more leisurely and sentimental players gradually emerged.
They like it after clearing the [Secret Realm].
Spend several days traveling around the secret realm and then return to the town.
Their purpose is, first, to satisfy the leisurely elegance of sightseeing and travel, and to accumulate experiences and photos that can be shown off in Moments and forums.
The second is to find [Easter Eggs] hidden in various dungeons and secret realms.
Compared with the former, the display value of this thing is obviously much higher...
After all, finding a hidden easter egg is as valuable as discovering a rare [natural object].
But this time, hiding Easter eggs naturally has nothing to do with them.
Everyone has only one purpose in clearing the secret realm.
That is to use the free form after clearing the level to go to the bottom of the cave entrance and find Lu Qingge.
Even though they had made preparations in their hearts, there was a high possibility that they would only find Lu Qingge’s body...
But even so, they must do their best.
So everyone started immediately and walked quickly towards the door leading to the next dungeon room.
This time, Xia Yubing slowed down and walked silently at the back of the team.
After Meng En saw this, he calmly walked to the front of the team.
The look on Meng En's face also unconsciously became a little complicated.
Because something appeared on the system panel in his field of vision that made him feel a little uneasy.
——His [moral value] has not changed much.
It was 100 points when it came, but now it is 99 points.
The difference is only 1 point, which is almost negligible.
See this.
Meng En's back felt slightly cold.
Although players kill people in non-[town areas], no amount of [moral value] will be deducted.
But it’s not to say that it’s only reduced by 1 point.
So, from this point of view.
There is only one explanation -
…
…
Like twenty thousand miles under the sea, in the extremely dense darkness.
Lu Qingge.
Slowly opened his eyes.
Some people died, but not completely...
