"……call."
A slight sound of landing then echoed below the hollow. Duan Qing, who had entered here without his body, used the slightest method he could use to land on the warehouse-like ground, groping and rummaging around. The voice then disappeared along with the gray-robed magician who continued to penetrate into this dim area, and gradually appeared in the lower corner beyond the sight of Xueling Huanbing: "Hey! How is the situation down there?"
"It went well." Duan Qing, who was also heard from a position she couldn't see, deliberately lowered his voice and responded quietly: "And don't ask questions in such a loud voice, okay? There are so many zombies outside. And skeletons and stuff are waiting for us.”
"You have turned me into a post-apocalyptic survival game." Trying hard to identify the metal shelves that might contain clues and tools, Xueling Huanbing, who was sitting on the edge of the cave, unconsciously turned his gaze to the one that had just been cut off. Deep inside the hole melted by Qing Suo: "And you can actually come up with such a super-scientific method. The floor was dug like this by you..."
"Wrong, it's a magical method." He no longer knew where he had groped, and Duan Qing's voice came back to Xue Ling Huanbing's ears helplessly: "In any world where magic and science coexist, in the end, the one who has the upper hand will have the upper hand. They are all on the magic side. This method, which can rely on unlimited imagination and exert unlimited power, is often incomparable to theoretical science."
"Just stay there and wait for news from me."
Without too much explanation, the re-expanded figure of the gray-robed magician gradually disappeared into the darkness in the corner of the room. The surfaces of the shelves separated from each other by metal supports were also covered with symbols representing The heavy dust of the years, and the various parts and items placed on it were filtering through Duan Qing's eyes again and again: "Cobalt pentagonal screws, compound triple helix electric coil, element rectifier, Kegel reactor... … Damn it, is this a large future hardware supermarket?”
"Let me think about it, what is the name of that part?" Duan Qing, who kept comparing the system information that popped up on his character panel and racking his brains to recall something, also frowned more and more: "There are so many things, and the names are all different. This is the rhythm of looking for someone to die - huh."
"Is it this thing?" His steps paused for a moment, and the arm he slowly stretched out due to hesitation gradually landed on one of the ring-shaped metal objects: "Ring circuit board SK-II type? Still What kind of uncharged reset version? What kind of nonsense is this? Can you explain it in human terms again?"
The hope that he had found the target was quickly shattered. Duan Qing, who was a little annoyed, just wanted to lift the metal part and throw it away, but finally slowly retracted it: "Wait a minute, there seems to be a magic circuit on it. ? If it matches the magic circuit required by that place——"
A muffled popping sound then sounded in the back of Duan Qing's head, accompanied by the dust that was raised in the sky when a white figure fell into the warehouse at an unknown time, and the still weak Xue Ling Huan Bing. Then he kept coughing among the countless raised dust, and struggled to get up, but was put down by an outstretched hand: "You, why did you get down?"
"Of course I have to come down. Seeing how hesitant you are." He made such a voice with sweat on his face, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of Xue Ling Huan Bing's mouth: "And it doesn't seem to be safe up there. I It seems like I heard the warning from the collision of bones.”
"...Really, why are these guys so haunted?" Duan Qing, who pinched his fingers tightly and raised his head, involuntarily focused his eyes on the only hole above: "When we usually fight, I didn’t see how high his IQ was, but he was very smart when he was craving for living things... You should hide over there first, and stop acting rashly."
"I'm not that fragile." Pushing away Duan Qing's support with his own hands, Xue Ling Huan Bing turned around and walked towards the outside with a pretended relaxed expression: "And now is not the time to waste such time, you How long do I need to look for?"
"If it doesn't work, I will pack all the parts here." Looking back at the various metal parts and items neatly placed on various metal brackets scattered around the room, Duan Qing's forehead gradually became covered with Full of black lines: "As long as we make sure what we want is here, let Kyle II figure it out for himself."
"It turned into robbery in the end." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who tilted her head and was about to walk to the corner, turned her head when she heard the sound: "Does your robe have enough space?"
"Theoretically it should be enough. If not, I will find a way." His expression seemed to be tangled together, and Duan Qing answered with a hint of reluctance in his voice: "Isn't it just emptying warehouses and backpacks? As a former professional gamer, I am familiar with this kind of thing."
"I can help you carry some things - I wanted to say this originally."
Looking at the gray-robed magician who quickly disappeared into the distance of the warehouse, Xue Ling Huan Bing leaned on the side of one of the metal supports in vain: "But since you plan to come alone, I naturally have no objection. "
"Looking at the way you can't even walk now - you should just wait patiently." Duan Qing's response came from the front where the sound of sweeping was constantly heard: "Time is tight, just finish sweeping the goods and leave as soon as possible. "
"According to the information currently displayed on the adventurer's map, we have reached the depths of the encirclement." No longer focusing on the gray-robed magician, Xueling Huanbing raised the adventurer in his hand. Reader's map: "Be careful not to attract the enemies outside."
"No matter how hard I try, the noise I find out will not be louder than the noise you jumped down just now." Still rummaging in front, Duan Qing's voice gradually came from the dark depths ahead. : "You haven't even broken the soundproofing effect of this room, so what else do I have to be afraid of - well."
"Oops."
The sound of rummaging and moving stopped for a moment, and the gray-robed magician suddenly stopped his movements. A metal shelf that he had just plundered also twisted in his sloppy movements. After a while, it collapsed behind Duan Qing with a creaking sound: "Tsk, it seems the quality is not that good."
His words paused for a moment, and the steps he wanted to continue to take stopped in place as his eyes widened. The broken wooden door exposed from behind the collapsed scaffolding also fell apart due to the same inertia. On the ground around him, a pair of black eyes staring back at him appeared in front of him: "——!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The screams full of confidence then echoed in every corner of the room together with the sounds of falling. The screams that complemented the roars of the skeletons were also followed by more collapsed metal supports colliding with each other. Covered by the chaotic sounds, the man named Duan Qing then climbed up from the ruins in that direction with staggering steps, and ran back to Xue Ling Huan Bing in three steps and two steps: "They actually It’s really coming in!”
"Should I call you a performer in the professional world, or should I call you an unlucky guy in the adventure world?" The answer was Xue Ling Huanbing frowning and sighing: "Such things will happen to you. ...Stop pretending, and quickly find a way to leave."
"Hey, they are really scary, okay?" Duan Qing's face turned pale at this time as he pointed at the exposed black bone eye sockets that were being uncovered by the collapsed ruins and metal support plate fragments. A few points: "And their sudden appearance in this direction is really detrimental to our current situation."
"Don't I know what you are thinking? You greedy guy." The movements of knocking on the head became much weaker. Xueling Huanbing replied angrily: "Ignore the extra parts and props. , are you really planning to vacate this place?"
"Okay, okay, that's it." Feeling the roars that were approaching quickly and the bright sword light in the hands of those undead souls, the pale color on Duan Qing's face quickly disappeared: "It turned out to be I planned to use the Breath of Wind to take myself up and leave easily, but now there is an extra one like you."
"Then I have no choice but to find a more practical method." He lifted the body of Xueling Huanbing half on his shoulders, and at the same time reached out and took out another bottle of frost potion from his arms: "Earth Wall Technique! "
A rumble of earth-shaking sounds sounded at the feet of the two people. The rising earth wall also pushed the figures of the man and the woman to the top of the room. Duan Qing, who had already taken his position, took the lead and pushed Xueling Huan Bing threw his body from the nearby circular hole, and at the same time dropped the frost potion in his hand directly under the earth wall: "This is the last bottle of frost potion, I don't have the materials for more." Made...Frost Nova!"
"This should last for eight seconds." He faced the sight of the dispersed frost and air suddenly spreading to cover the feet of the skeletons and fixing them in place. A proud smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Eight seconds. After that, the earthen wall will fall down, and there should be nothing they can do—"
Whoosh!
The sound of arrows piercing the air then broke Duan Qing's words, and the light of a bow and arrow suddenly lit up in the corner and then cut through the darkness of the room. Duan Qing, who realized that the situation was not good at the last moment, also felt embarrassed. He twisted his head and moved the arrow that had grazed his shoulder, along with the splashing blood, to the ceiling hole behind him: "What——"
"Hey! How are you!" Xue Ling Huan Bing's exclamation sounded immediately behind him: "Are you okay?"
"Here he comes, the skeleton archer in the classic setting." The corner of his eye paused for a moment on a swaying figure holding an archer among the countless mixed skeletons below. Duan Qing stood up again and couldn't help but He let out a bitter smile: "Although I thought of this possibility when I saw those undead people appearing with weapons, I didn't expect retribution to come so quickly."
"Stop making any exclamations there, come up quickly!" The voice belonging to Xueling Huanbing then appeared above his head, and an equally pale hand appeared between the two people close at hand: "Eight seconds The clock is about to pass! If you don’t come up—"
"Don't worry, I still have a way."
The blowing of the strong wind was accompanied by the sound of the earth wall collapsing under his feet, sending Duan Qing's figure and the empty bottles scattered in his hand to the top of the hole: "A magician may really be helpless, but Alchemists who have stored up their magic for a long time are never afraid."
"But the situation seems to be getting worse." Without any buffering action, the gray-robed man who fell to the ground in a panic raised his gaze and then fell behind Xue Ling Huan Bing: "It seems that you just didn't I heard that right.”
"——What to do, we are already surrounded."
Staggering and sitting next to Duan Qing, Xueling Huanbing stared closely at the wound exposed on Duan Qing's left shoulder: "Can you still move?"
"It doesn't seem to have triggered any curse effect." After struggling for a while with bared teeth, Duan Qing stood up from a squat and then relaxed his left arm covered with blood with a serious look on his face: "But the wound is not shallow, and it will definitely affect my actions. .”
"Then let's focus on escaping." The shadowy scenes began to get closer and closer with the sound of bones colliding, and the movements of Xue Ling Huan Bing supporting each other were full of endless bitterness: "There are other Can I choose the path? It can go back or up."
"It's a good way to continue going up, but the terrain there is even more unfamiliar to us." Looking up at the dark ceiling above his head, Duan Qing shook his head solemnly: "And this is just a detour, getting further and further away. It doesn’t bode well for us.”
"Let's go north first. I remember there is another corridor space over there." He patted Xue Ling Huan Bing's back, and at the same time took the lead to stagger towards behind him: "If we are lucky, we might Find some way around it."
"But it is possible to encounter more enemies." Following the opponent's footsteps, Xue Ling Huan Bing began to move with tired sweat beads on his forehead: "My physical strength is limited, and I don't have the ability to rush or run. If something unexpected happens again——"
boom!
A heavy muffled sound suddenly sounded in front of Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huanbing. It was the sound made when the side at the end of the passage was suddenly smashed and bricks were scattered in all directions. Countless black bone fragments At this time, the scattered swords were accompanied by a drunken man's staggering appearance, shooting towards the invisible end on the other side of the passage: "I wonder why I haven't waited for you to come back for a long time."
"It turns out that 'Merakwo' is hidden here."
