Broken Arrow led a speed team to the designated location. The team didn't have any guild leaders. Coincidentally, none of the guild leaders of the major guilds in Cloud City were of the speed class, so they could only lead a short-legged team from afar to rush over. In the team, all the guild leaders had sent their trusted aides, such as Reflection of Years, Shan Ziling, and so on. They were all core members of the guild, 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.
The place that Broken Arrow led the team to was a cave. There wasn't even a 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, similar to the Cloud Mine.
"This is an abandoned mine." Water Breaking Arrow explained to everyone.
Wing, who was carrying an item, came over and glanced into the cave. His face was filled with black lines: "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.
Broken Arrow said disapprovingly: "You can think of it as a geologist who originally thought that this place was rich in minerals, but when they were about to mine, they realized that this location was very unsuitable and could only give up."
"You mean if we continue mining, we'll dig to the water system hub of Cloud City?" Wing asked.
"That's right." Broken Arrow nodded.
"F * ck, is it that real?" Wing also disagreed. It was just a game setting. Did it have to be designed with such a cause and effect?
"Yes." Broken 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 in the mood to discuss these issues with Broken 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 understand 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 it wasn't 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 was originally in the test tube had simply disappeared, and a pitch-black passageway had already 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!" Water Breaking Arrow looked at the time and was a bit pressed for time. But the passageway was pitch-black, and it was obviously impossible to walk by foot. This wasn't Xia Wu City, and the players didn't have the habit of carrying torches or lanterns. After asking around, fortunately, there were two players who played the Chef profession who had fire tools, and another player 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 obviously wasn't built for people to walk on. Moreover, it was overflowing with a strange smell, and there were even puddles in some places. If one accidentally stepped into the puddles, the muddy smell would be even more disgusting. 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 once Qianli was drunk, he would probably be closer to the goal than they were. If he was one step ahead of them and found 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 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 moved forward in the dark, bumping into each other countless times. At this time, the speed team really couldn't increase their speed.
At this time, Sworn 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 Qianli was drunk, he wouldn't be able to run fast in this kind of environment, right?" someone mumbled.
Water Breaking Arrow was stunned, but after thinking about it, it made sense. In this kind of situation, it would be very difficult for Qianli to advance if he was drunk.
Gu Fei's advance 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 ascending, as if it was an upward slope. Finally, before the bubble disappeared, Gu Fei walked up from the bottom of the water. But the passageway didn't end there. After walking for a while, Gu Fei was dumbfounded. The magic bubble was no longer his oxygen extraction tool, but a tool for illumination. When it finally disappeared, Gu Fei's eyes were filled with darkness, and he couldn't see a thing.
Gu Fei didn't have any miscellaneous items like torches on 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, and a fireball could illuminate a large part of it. The problem was that the path wasn't so easy, and from time to time it was bumpy. Once, when Gu Fei threw a chain of fireballs, he was even facing the wall, and the fireball directly exploded on him. Gu Fei moved forward in such a difficult situation, and he wasn't much better than Water Breaking Arrow and the others.
But he didn't pay attention to the time, and he didn't know how long he walked, but this road 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 hurriedly chased after it, and he didn't care that his steps were deep and shallow. Seeing that this fireball didn't hit a wall along the way, Gu Fei was delighted, and hurriedly sped up. It was really rare to have 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 hurriedly stopped. With a wave of his hand, he shot out another chain of fireballs. This time he wasn't in a hurry, and took the opportunity to look around, and found that he had finally reached the end of the passage. The exit was obviously a very large space, and the light from the fireball couldn't illuminate the four walls at all, which was why it seemed so lonely.
Have we arrived? Gu Fei let out a long breath, and walked out, but suddenly there was nothing under his feet. The outside of the cave was actually a place that was suspended in the air. In other words, Gu Fei's reaction was really amazing. He immediately retracted his foot that was in the air, and with force from his waist and abdomen, he used his hands to support himself on the cave wall, and finally didn't fall.
"There's no path?" Gu Fei muttered in his heart, and stretched out his foot to try, and sure enough, there was nothing in front of him. Gu Fei wondered if it would be a relatively high step, so he used another skill, and this time he could finally see clearly. There was indeed 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 a 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 pitch-black darkness, there seemed to be a light streaking down, but he couldn't see where it was. But Gu Fei always heard that scream clearly, and in his heart, he 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, stepped on nothing, and fell down before he could react.
"It's the people from the attacking side … Hongchen Yixiao led them here …" Gu Fei's brain worked fast, and he was very clear about Hongchen Yixiao's advantage. If that guy was a guy who didn't need any plot hints, he could grasp the quest, so it was not surprising that he could lead the other party to this place.
"What exactly is here?" Up until now, Gu Fei's quest actually lacked related quest hints. Frankly speaking, if it were an ordinary player, they would definitely not do this quest without knowing what the benefits of running to this construction site were. It was only Gu Fei who decided to come to this damned place without collecting all the information. 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 don't know how many people they have, but it looks like I can't escape the battle …' Gu Fei was a little excited. Ever since he entered this place, he had discovered that everything was dark, and he could only use spells to move forward. Gu Fei had been quite depressed, but now, he finally found some fun.
Gu Fei still didn't know if the other party had discovered him, but the other party had just fallen, so they must have just reached this position, and probably didn't see the spells that he had used before. After that, Gu Fei didn't have any light at all. At this moment, thinking of this, he simply continued to maintain it, no longer using spells to illuminate the way, and slowly walked down the wall beside him.
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 leaving the cave seemed to be quite orderly, so Gu Fei's pace became faster and faster. Unexpectedly, he suddenly stepped on empty air. Startled, he hastily pulled back his leg and twisted his waist, using his other hand to fiercely press against 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, but without support, just twisting his waist wasn't enough to turn his body back, and he miserably fell down.
Gu Fei didn't know how high this place was, and he didn't know if this fall would directly kill him. He didn't want to try his luck, so he unsheathed the Dark Streak Sword in midair and used a Dual Flame Flash. But this instant cast spell came and went quickly, and it didn't last long. In that split second of light, Gu Fei hadn't seen the ground, so he knew that there was still some distance between them. But at this time, Dual Flame Flash was on cooldown, so he couldn't use it a second time. Skills like Fireball couldn't be cast instantly, so he couldn't use it while moving.
"Lightning!" Gu Fei summoned another instant cast spell. But this lightning was even faster than Dual Flame Flash. Gu Fei saw a bright flash in front of him, and a white light shone in front of him, but was that white light the ground? Gu Fei didn't have time to think before the lightning 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 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 Fighter 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, such as the length of the weapon.
To Gu Fei, understanding this was even more important than understanding the Dark Streak Sword's attack power, 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 force from the sword touching the ground to make his body pause in the air. Then, he teleported, and very accurately moved to the ground.
Actually, Gu Fei didn't need to do it so exaggeratedly. Even if he wanted to teleport six meters, the skill wouldn't send him underground, and the result would still be the same. However, Gu Fei didn't make use of these settings in the game. He used his own method, and perfectly completed this teleportation.
"Fireball!" After Gu Fei steadied himself, he immediately summoned a Fireball to act as a light bulb. He had to quickly find the sword that had fallen to the ground.
But the previous string of skills had already been seen by Water Breaking Arrow and the others. Their voices were clearly heard by Gu Fei.
"It's him!"
"He's here too!"
"Qianli Drunk is over there!"
"I think he fell down!"
"Did he fall to his death?"
"He must have fallen to his death, that idiot!!!"
In the end, this Fireball was the best answer. Gu Fei wasn't dead, and was waiting for them on the ground!
The one who lit the torch in Water Breaking Arrow's group accidentally fell to his death, causing them to lose their 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 suddenly, there was a flash of light at the entrance of the cave. Unsworn Sword and the other short-legged team, with their bright torches, had finally arrived.
