The sound of footsteps dragging rocks gradually appeared from opposite the wall in front of several people, falling through the gaps in the wall to the ears of Duan Qing and others. The crackling sound of torches also brought the excitement of countless players who were illuminated. His figure was reflected in the dark depths on the other side of the wall. He was gradually approaching, and he seemed to have no intention of deliberately concealing his whereabouts: "Is it this direction?"
"I definitely heard it right. Someone's voice came out just now. Why is there no road?"
"Maybe because of the earthquake, the access here has been blocked. After all, we have encountered many places that do not match the map before we came -"
"We also encountered many monsters we have never encountered before! This is definitely a new adventure destination!"
Excited sounds quickly spread from the depths of the passage, and a team of several players suddenly passed by Duan Qing's eyes. Without noticing anything unusual, they then ran past while holding their own torches and roaring. On the other side of the horizontal space, looking up and down passed the cracked wall surface: "Look at this structure! Look at this pattern! Have any of you seen this kind of thing elsewhere? This definitely represents something Plant a new civilization!"
"It's over. Lao Liu gets so excited when something like this happens that he can't help himself. It's better for us to leave him alone... Well, what is this?"
"There are still traces of moisture in the gaps. It should be that previous floods have ravaged this place. What, what problem did you find?"
"There seems to be movement in here, it should be the sound of water, and other sounds..."
Duan Qing, who urgently leaned his body to the side to avoid eye contact with the players on the other side of the wall, then held his breath, and the atmosphere gradually tightened on both sides of the wall as time went by. It gradually dispersed, and was finally torn apart with the exclamation of a certain player who didn't know where it came from: "Look! There is a new passage here! And it's downwards!"
"Sooner or later, we will all be scared to death by you, Sixth! Can you be gentler when you shout next time? What if someone is nearby?"
"How can someone be faster than us? Don't worry, we found that entrance with great difficulty. There is absolutely no one who can walk in before us."
"I remember you said the same thing last time at the Taloa ruins. The result - hum, let's be careful. Even if no players become our competitors, the monsters here are still relatively difficult to deal with."
The sound of rustling footsteps gradually faded away along with the sound of conversation, and slowly disappeared into the depths of the space on the other side of Duan Qing. Duan Qing and others, who were holding their breath tightly, just released their respective coverings at this time. He put his hand in front of his mouth, and then he gasped loudly: "Huh, huh, huh, huh... What's going on? How come a player has already found this place?"
"The entire city has been destroyed like this. It's probably only a matter of time before this hidden area is discovered." Xue Ling Huan Bing let go of her hand that was tightly gripping the handle of the gun, and her voice was filled with gasps. Meaning: "It's just that the progress of these players going underground is a little faster than I thought."
"After all, they are all greedy adventurers, and they can do anything for treasures and trophies." Asahi Dongsheng then waved his hands with a meaningless look: "If it were me who discovered that there is a large adventure area under Tania, I would also Will bring people in."
"New maps, new elements, new mutations, and new civilizations." Snapping his fingers, Duan Qing sighed and looked around him: "Just like the Violet Tower before, this place has probably already It has evolved into a brand new dungeon area after the war, plus those mutated monsters——"
"They must have been affected by the previous energy shock, right?"
He said these words in a low voice, and Gedman, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly said: "The attack power has increased, the defense power has decreased, the sanity has been completely lost, and the number has become uncountable... This is similar to the monster lair. What's the difference?"
"Judging from the red light emitting from their eyes, it should be like this." Duan Qing also nodded his head: "Otherwise, judging from the strength of the monsters we encountered before, this map is probably not suitable for us. A lot of players come to explore.”
"You mean that this place has been adjusted by the system into an area suitable for players to come to fight monsters and upgrade?" Looking around him, Asahi Dongsheng's voice also had a sense of surprise: "Increase the number and remove the defensive hardness of the scales - is the current system so smart?"
"The system will adjust this kind of environment in the direction where players can fight monsters and upgrade. We have seen this situation many times." Xueling Huanbing on the side also said in time: "But Who will provide the rewards for defeating monsters?”
"It is true that ordinary monsters do not have any drops, because this is a unique setting of the free world system that pursues reality. The rewards of the dungeon should have been calculated and redeemed by a certain force. Unfortunately, the entire principality has now been paralyzed. It’s impossible to shoulder this responsibility.” Duan Qing also pinched his chin: “But there are still things like monster teeth or monster fur, which can be used to make weapons or equipment. Materials, like these dragon-man monsters...well."
"Have they used weapons before?"
Duan Qing seemed to be remembering a certain scene that had happened in front of him, and Duan Qing cast his gaze on the faces of the others: "Where did they come from?"
"How do I know? Maybe it's given by the system." Asahi Dongsheng shrugged his shoulders: "According to the usual style of the free world, they will probably set up a weapons depot or something like that, and then be discovered by the monsters. Category……"
"It may also be caused by the previous war." Xueling Huanbing frowned and continued: "The underground battlefield was very chaotic at that time. Maybe some players accidentally lost their equipment and were picked up by these monsters."
"Unless the player abandons it voluntarily, general equipment will not drop from the player at will." Duan Qing shook his head: "Of course, there are exceptions in some special circumstances, such as I accidentally fell into the furnace. The time...is right."
"Have any of you seen my magician's disk?"
Duan Qing tilted his head and turned his attention to the other teammates: "I didn't find that ancient relic in my options at that time. It should be because the level was too high and it was excluded from the fusion range, but I I didn't find that thing in my inventory later. It should have been accidentally thrown to the ground when I dropped it for the first time..."
"Have any of you ever picked up that thing?"
"Of course not."
Faced with Duan Qing's seemingly casual question, Asahi Dongsheng, who was the first to speak out, then waved his hands: "How is that possible? We don't know what you lost..."
"You didn't find it either? Then forget it." Glancing at Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was lowering his head next to him, Duan Qing also retracted his searching gaze: "Let's look for it when we find the ground. Anyway, that thing Ordinary people won't be able to use it if they pick it up... What are you going to do?"
"What do you mean?"
"Of course how to leave this place."
Facing the confused looks from Asahi Dongsheng and Gedman, Duan Qing asked helplessly: "The normal access to the safety well is at the bottom. Ling Bing also went down to verify it just now. You two They are all heavily armored warriors, but they cannot swim while carrying hundreds of kilograms of weapons and equipment."
"And you're still injured." He pointed in the direction of Gedman: "We can't leave you two here. Let's move on, right?"
"this……"
Looking at each other with Gedman, who was half sitting on the ground, Chao Ri Dongsheng stretched out his hand to wipe away the cold sweat that had just appeared on his forehead: "This road won't work. There will always be other ways to go. If it really doesn't work, We can still crawl back."
"Is there any way to eliminate the weight?" Gedman gasped and asked: "It doesn't work if you put it in a package. The total weight will not change. Or do you have any floating skills? Relief?"
"That kind of magic only manipulates the relationship between the human body and the air, and the weight cannot be stolen." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "There are useful spells in the magic system that can help people, but apart from underwater breathing Apart from magic, I have never been exposed to other related spells."
"Forget it, if it doesn't work, we'll break out of the wall!" Turning around and patting the wall behind him, Chao Ri Dongsheng grinned: "I think where the team just went is pretty good, we can follow them Later, then find an opportunity to rob—"
Plop.
The sound of falling into the water came to the ears of several people. Accompanied by it was the last white figure of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice that had disappeared in front of the water. Looking at the long white hair disappearing under the water Duan Qing had no choice but to open his mouth, and his movement to speak was later replaced by Gedman's wry smile: "You go first."
"How is this possible? That guy probably fell down accidentally-"
"My serious injuries are a real liability."
Interrupting Duan Qing's excuse, Goldman, who was sitting on the ground, waved his hand in the direction of Duan Qing: "No matter which way you go, it's not a good idea to take me with you. You might as well just Just leave me here, and then find a way to notify me after the situation outside is safe."
"The captain's decision is quite wise and decisive." He pointed to the pond in front of him, and his expression became relieved: "Go, don't make the captain wait too long, in case if you encounter any danger ——”
"I'll call her back."
Duan Qing took a deep breath and stopped talking, then turned around and jumped into the temporary well. The endless darkness and the cold feeling invaded Duan Qing's senses, leading his downward body towards The deeper places keep sinking away. After groping for changes in the surrounding water flow, the gray-robed magician quickly found the entrance to the passage mentioned before by Xue Ling Huan Bing. He swam with all his strength and then appeared at the end of the long passage. Light suddenly emerged, and the white figure dimly came into view: "Haah, haah, haah... This waterway is really long enough."
"Why did you run away alone!" He walked in the direction of the motionless figure, and at the same time wiped the water droplets dripping from his head: "This is not like your leadership style. .”
"Because I did it on purpose." Staring closely at the movement ahead, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was leaning on the wall at the edge of the passage, replied in a low voice: "Since you think there is something wrong with those two people, then we should simply act separately. Bar."
"Do I think there is a problem?" Duan Qing, who was stunned for a moment, then pointed to his nose and asked, "Why do I think there is a problem with them?"
"……Is it."
Turning her head and looking at the other party's face, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who fell silent, stopped talking. She quietly looked at the front of the passage she was waiting for for a while, and then replied in a low voice in a warning tone: "Anyway, the two of them There is no way to catch up now, so just think of it as my temporary capriciousness...be careful ahead."
"I said -" He was slightly stunned when he wanted to continue speaking, and Duan Qing's voice became a little more alert: "Well, have any players been here before?"
"On the second day of the eruption, a lot of players rushed to Tania after hearing the news." Xueling Huanbing replied without looking back: "Even if only one tenth of the players found out In the underground world, the number of people coming in will also be very considerable.”
"No one from either side can continue to hide the secrets of this underground world." She quietly discerned the movement in front of the passage: "This is also the second reason why I am anxious to move on: if I don't act quickly, If so, we may not have a chance."
"what you up to?"
After looking at each other for a while, Duan Qing slowly opened his eyes: "Did you mean... there?"
"If this place is really distributed according to Redkar's palace, there will definitely be a lot of wealth there."
With a smile on his face, Xueling Huanbing nodded with satisfaction: "It's the place we have been to. I still remember it in my Adventurer's Handbook."
"I can understand your worries." Duan Qing lowered his voice unconsciously: "But now the terrain has changed a lot, and most of those roads are impassable."
"This must be one of the obstacles given by the system." Nodding his head, Xue Ling Huan Bing analyzed in a low voice: "If the players who enter here are mixed with the Empire, they may be able to easily identify this place, so in order to make the treasure a real treasure, disrupting the map is also the most basic operation.”
"As long as there are no mistakes in the general direction, we will definitely find the location before others." She listened to the surrounding movements for a while, then took Duan Qing's arm: "Let's go."
“This time we can’t let others take the lead.”
