Water Breaking Arrow led a small speed team to the designated location. There were no guild leaders in the team. Coincidentally, none of the guild leaders of the big guilds in Cloud Cloud City were of the speed class. They could only lead the short-legged team from afar. In the team, all the guild leaders sent their trusted aides, such as Reflection of Years and Shan Ziling. They were all core members of the guild who were second only to the guild leaders. Although the quest could only belong to Rosy Cloud Space, hope was something that would last forever. Players with a heart that pursued miracles would never die.
Water Breaking Arrow led the team to a cave. There was not a single blade of grass at the entrance. The color of the soil was clearly different from the surrounding environment. It was clearly a different type of soil. It was similar to the Cloud Cloud Mine.
"This is an abandoned mine." Water Breaking Arrow explained to everyone.
Wing, who was carrying an item, came over. He glanced into the cave and was speechless. "This is a mine? I think it's just a cave? "
The cave in front of them was extremely shallow. It was so shallow that three to five people could fill it. If it had to be called a mine, then it could only be said that it was a very shallow mine with very little mining.
Water Breaking Arrow said disapprovingly, "You can think of it as a geologist who originally thought that this place was rich in minerals. However, when they were about to mine, they realized that this location was very unsuitable and could only give up."
"You mean that if we continue mining, we will dig to the water system hub of Cloud Cloud City?" Wing asked.
"That's right." Water Breaking Arrow nodded.
"F * ck, is it that serious?" Wing also disagreed. It was just a game setting. Did it have to be designed with such a cause and effect?
"Yes." Water Breaking Arrow nodded seriously. In reality, his understanding of online games was on the same level as Gu Fei. However, he was familiar with Ye Xiaowu. He learned from Ye Xiaowu that the design of the parallel world's setting had a set of logic. It was because of this that the unique random assembling quest system could continue. The change of the setting would change the quest. The progress of the quest would also change the setting. The new logic would create new quests. This was how it worked.
"What should I do?" Wing obviously wasn't interested in discussing this with Water Breaking Arrow. After entering the cave, he looked around.
The Water Breaking Arrow was not Ye Xiaowu, who knew its location directly. He also needed to find it with the information provided by Ye Xiaowu. However, it didn't take much effort to dig such a small hole. After the Water Breaking Arrow entered, it quickly confirmed the position. Reaching out his hand to dig a few times on the wall, it quickly revealed a mechanical device attached to the soil.
"How should I use it?" Wing took out a tool. The others outside the cave couldn't squeeze in, so they stared at it. They saw Featherwing take out something that looked like a small test tube, and there was some kind of liquid swaying inside. Everyone had the urge to rush forward and snatch it, but they tried their best to restrain themselves.
"Give me a moment to study it." Of course, he didn't know how to use the Water Breaking Arrow. He had to read Ye Xiaowu's instructions and continue to dig the soil while looking for the location that Ye Xiaowu had described.
"Oh, it should be here." Water Breaking Arrow finally found the mechanism. There was an empty groove somewhere on the mechanical thing, and the size matched the small test tube in Feather Wing's hand.
"Put it in here." Water Arrow said.
Wing carefully placed the small test tube into the groove, but did not see any changes. Looking at the Water Breaking Arrow, he asked, "And then?"
"Run!" Water Breaking Arrow turned and dashed out. Feather was shocked and hurriedly followed behind, but he still couldn't help but look back at the thing out of curiosity. He saw that there was indeed a change. The liquid in the small test tube suddenly bubbled like it was boiling, and then there was a creaking sound from the mechanical thing, and the liquid in the small test tube was sucked out with a whoosh. At this time, Feather had already rushed out of the cave. He couldn't see clearly, but he heard Water Breaking Arrow call for everyone to quickly dodge. He didn't dare to be negligent, and followed the others to dodge in all directions. Someone was puzzled. "Won't the cave collapse if we blow it up like this? Then we dig it up again? Will this be faster than directly digging it up? "
Water Breaking Arrow, who had been a soldier, knew better than the average person that this explosion didn't make sense, but he thought that this was a game, and there might be something strange about this explosion, so he didn't have any doubts. After escaping with the other players, everyone quietly waited for the earth-shattering explosion. In the end, the cave suddenly flashed with light, but there was no sound at all. Everyone thought this was the precursor to an explosion. Some people obviously didn't like sudden fright, and they all covered their ears.
Unexpectedly, the light became brighter and brighter. When it reached its peak, it overflowed from the entrance of the cave and shrouded the entire cave in light. Then, it began to fade and gradually weakened until it disappeared. However, the earth-shattering sound that everyone was looking forward to did not appear.
The players didn't know what to do, and all looked at Water Breaking Arrow. Water Breaking Arrow was also very confused, so he asked Ye Xiaowu.
Ye Xiaowu was very proud. "It was an explosion, but not the kind of explosion you imagined. This was a magic explosion. To put it bluntly, there was actually a magic potion in the test tube. After adding it, it activated the magic array set up there. It used magic, not explosives."
"Is it okay now?"
"As long as the light dissipates."
"It's okay." Water Breaking Arrow said to the players.
"Huh? It's over? "The players didn't understand.
"It's over." Water Breaking Arrow was actually also at a loss, but he always believed in Ye Xiaowu, so he was the first to go up to check.
As expected, the cave had been blown open, but there were no traces of the explosion that Water Breaking Arrow had imagined. The place where the suspected mechanical object had been placed in the test tube had simply disappeared, and a pitch-black passageway appeared in front of everyone. Water Breaking Arrow walked up to take a look. The place where the "explosion" had been made was really neat, as if someone had repaired it.
The other players followed in one after another, looking at the passageway that had appeared. They were all a bit baffled.
"Where did all the exploded items go?" Feather Wing asked.
"This isn't a normal explosion, this is magic." Water Breaking Arrow could only explain it this way.
"Could it be teleportation? The thing that was originally blocking here was teleported away, so this passageway was revealed? "Some players guessed.
Water Breaking Arrow realized that in terms of the game, these players' IQ was indeed higher than his. He didn't think that it was a teleportation array that teleported the original obstacles away. Although Ye Xiaowu didn't say so, the player's explanation was quite plausible.
"Let's hurry up!" Water Breaking Arrow looked at the time and was a bit short. But the passageway was pitch-black, and it was obviously impossible to walk by foot. This wasn't Xia Wu City, and players didn't have the habit of bringing torches or lanterns. After asking around, it was fortunate that there were two Life Profession players who played Chef who brought fire tools, and another player just happened to have a torch. So they started a fire and lit the torch. A bunch of people surrounded this guy and carefully began to step into the passageway.
The passageway wasn't flat, and clearly wasn't built for people to walk on. Moreover, it was overflowing with a strange smell. There were even puddles in some places, and if one accidentally stepped into them, the muddy smell would be even more nauseating. Which player living in the Happy Era would go through this sewer-like place? It was extremely painful, but for the mission, they endured it!
They fumbled their way forward, and their speed was very slow. Water Breaking Arrow was very anxious. There wasn't much time left, and A Thousand Miles Drunk was probably closer to the goal than they were. If they let him arrive a step earlier and find the key to complete the mission, then everything would be for naught. But it was useless for him to be anxious. These players had just entered this kind of environment, and they couldn't go faster even if they wanted to, especially the players at the back who couldn't be illuminated by the torches. They were completely dragging the clothes of the players in front of them as they groped their way forward in the dark, bumping into each other countless times. At this time, the speed team really couldn't go any faster.
At this time, Unsworn Sword and the others with short legs had already reached the edge of the passageway. With the report from the players in front, they were a little prepared. They took out torches and lit the entrance passageway, and advanced as well. But they had plenty of light, so they were slightly faster than the speed team in front of them.
"Everyone, hurry up. If we continue to be so slow, we'll come here for nothing." Water Breaking Arrow couldn't help but urge them.
"How can we speed up in this place!" Actually, it wasn't that the players didn't want to get out of this smelly waterway as soon as possible.
"Even if it's A Thousand Miles Drunk, he won't be able to run fast in this kind of environment, right?" someone mumbled.
Water Breaking Arrow was startled, but after thinking about it, it made sense. In this kind of situation, A Thousand Miles Drunk must be very difficult to move forward.
Gu Fei's progress was more than difficult. The magic bubble allowed him to walk along the waterway without oxygen and with illumination. He could feel that the passageway was gradually going up, as if it was an upward slope. Finally, before the bubble disappeared, Gu Fei walked out from the bottom of the water. But the passageway didn't end here. Gu Fei walked for a while more, and was dumbfounded. The magic bubble was no longer his oxygen extraction tool, but a tool for illumination. After it finally disappeared, Gu Fei's eyes were filled with darkness, and he couldn't see anything.
Gu Fei didn't bring any miscellaneous items like torches with him, but fortunately, he was a Mage, and he could cast spells to illuminate the path. But if this path was straight, it would be fine. A fireball could illuminate a large part of the path, but the problem was that the path wasn't that easy. From time to time, it would be bumpy. Gu Fei once threw a chain of fireballs right at the wall, and the fireballs directly exploded on him. Gu Fei advanced under such difficult conditions, and he didn't fare much better than Water Breaking Arrow and the others.
But he didn't pay attention to the time. He didn't know how long he walked, but the path seemed to have no end. Gu Fei sighed, and threw out another fireball. The fireball illuminated the path, and it wasn't very clear. Gu Fei hurried to catch up, and he didn't care that his steps were shallow and deep. Seeing that the fireball didn't hit a wall along the way, Gu Fei was happy, and quickly accelerated. It was rare to find such a straight path to speed up!
The small fireball didn't fly far before it was extinguished, but this small skill had a short cooldown, and Gu Fei could already shoot another one. The road was still perfectly straight. Gu Fei was extremely excited and quickly chased after it. Who would have thought that after taking a few steps, he would suddenly discover that the fireball was just that brilliant, and there was nothing in front of it, left, right, and front of it. Gu Fei was shocked, and quickly stopped. With a wave of his hand, he shot out another chain of fireballs. This time, he didn't rush, and took the opportunity to look around. He found that the passageway had finally ended. The exit was obviously a very large space, and the light from the fireball couldn't illuminate the four walls at all, so it looked so lonely.
Have we arrived? Gu Fei let out a long sigh, and took a step forward. But suddenly, there was nothing under his feet. The exit was actually suspended in the air. Gu Fei's reaction was really amazing, and he immediately retracted his foot that was stepping on empty air. His waist and abdomen exerted force, and he used both his hands to support himself on the wall, so he didn't fall.
"There's no path?" Gu Fei muttered in his heart. He stretched out his foot to try, and sure enough, there was nothing in front of him. Gu Fei thought that it might be a relatively high step, so he used another skill. This time, he could finally see clearly. There really was no path in front of this cave, and the path was on the left. After this intersection, the path turned, and it seemed to be winding down along the wall.
Gu Fei was about to use another skill to continue on his way, when he suddenly heard a scream coming from not far away. Looking in the direction of the sound, in the darkness, there seemed to be a flash of light coming down, but he couldn't see where it was. But Gu Fei heard that scream very clearly, and knew that someone must have arrived. As for the incident, it was probably similar to his own. When he walked out of the intersection, he was careless, and stepped on nothing, and fell down before he could react.
"It's someone from the attacking side … Red Dust Smile led him here …" Gu Fei's mind worked quickly, and he knew very well what Red Dust Smile's advantage was. That guy didn't need any plot hints to know the quest, so Gu Fei wasn't surprised that he could lead the other party to this place.
"Just what's here?" Gu Fei's quest so far actually lacked any related quest hints. Frankly speaking, if it was a normal player, they definitely wouldn't have come to this place without knowing what the benefits of coming to this place were. Gu Fei was the only one who decided to come to this godforsaken place, even though he didn't have all the information he needed to gather. It was really sloppy, and it was also because he didn't treat this as a game quest at all, just like how he had tormented Giordano in Dawn Fog City.
"I wonder how many people they have. Looks like I can't run away from battle …" Gu Fei was a little excited. Ever since he entered this place, he realized that his vision was completely dark, and he could only use spells to move forward. Gu Fei had been quite depressed, and now he finally found a little fun.
Gu Fei didn't know if the other party had discovered him, but the other party had just fallen down, so they probably hadn't seen the spells that Gu Fei had used before. After that, Gu Fei didn't have any light left. Thinking about this, he decided to continue, and no longer used spells to illuminate the path. He felt his way down the wall next to him, and slowly walked down.
The wall was very damp, and it felt like a handful of mud. At first, Gu Fei carefully probed the path step by step, and the more he walked, the smoother it became. He discovered that the path after exiting the cave seemed to be quite orderly, and so he walked faster and faster. Unexpectedly, he stepped on empty air, and in a panic, he hurriedly twisted his waist and used his other hand to grab the wall. But this time, the wall didn't give him any face, and threw a large clump of mud at Gu Fei's hand. Gu Fei grabbed the mud, and without anything to rely on, twisted his waist, it wasn't enough to pull his body back, and he miserably fell down.
Gu Fei didn't know how high this place was, and he didn't know if he would die from the fall. He didn't want to try his luck, so he pulled out the Night Streamer in mid-air, and with a sweep of the blade, he used Dual Flame Flash. But this instant-cast spell came and went quickly, and it didn't last long. In that moment of light, Gu Fei didn't see the ground, and knew that there was still some distance between them. But now that Dual Flame Flash was on cooldown, he couldn't use it a second time. Skills like Fireball couldn't be used in this state, and couldn't be used.
"Lightning Spell!" Gu Fei summoned another instant-cast spell. But this lightning was even faster than Dual Flame Flash. Gu Fei only saw a bright flash in front of him, and a patch of white appeared. But was that white the ground? Gu Fei didn't have time to judge, and the lightning had already disappeared.
"I'll take it as it is!" Gu Fei clenched his teeth, and prepared to Teleport. Suddenly, his hand stiffened, and a strong force came through. Gu Fei was startled, and knew that he had touched the ground. But the sword was completely unguarded, and it stabbed into the ground. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop it. Gu Fei's hand went numb, and he let go of the sword. But then, he pointed with a finger, and Teleported. His figure flickered, and Gu Fei steadily landed on the ground.
As a fighting expert, Gu Fei's understanding of equipment wasn't as simple as an ordinary player's. Ordinary players only paid attention to equipment's damage or additional stats, but Gu Fei would also pay attention to some of the more basic stats, so basic that the system didn't give them. For example, the length of the weapon.
To Gu Fei, understanding this was even more important than understanding the Night Streamer's attack, and how much Agility it added.
So the moment the sword touched the ground, Gu Fei already knew how far he was from the ground.
He let go of the sword, and used the recoil from the sword to make his body pause in the air. Then, he used Teleport, and very accurately moved to the ground.
Actually, Gu Fei didn't have to be so exaggerated. Even if he wanted to teleport six meters, the skill wouldn't send him underground, and the result would still be the same. But Gu Fei didn't make use of the game's settings. He used his own method, and perfectly completed the teleportation.
"Fireball!" After Gu Fei steadied himself, he immediately summoned a fireball to act as a light bulb. He had to hurry and find the sword that had fallen to the ground.
But the string of skills from before had already been seen by Broken Arrow and the others, and their voices were clearly heard by Gu Fei.
"It's him!"
"He's also here!"
"Thousand Miles Drunk is over there!"
"I think he fell down!"
"Did he fall to his death?"
"He definitely fell to his death, that idiot!!!"
In the end, this fireball was a very good answer. Gu Fei didn't die, and was waiting for them on the ground!
The one with the torch in Broken Arrow's group accidentally fell to his death, and they didn't have any light. They didn't have any Magicians among them, and after that, they completely knew that they had to stick to the wall and feel their way. But at this time, there was a sudden flash of light at the entrance of the cave. Unsworn Sword and the other short-legged team, lit up with bright torches, had finally arrived.
