Chapter 209 (1/2)
I'm listening to Murong Ying explain the trace part of the Jianghu, as well as the little sigh and sad spirit who are underground. I've also heard the prompt of the main task update. Although the information they get from the only words prompted by this task is limited, the two keywords of ”lingzhongjing” and ”soul” are enough to let them understand that this script is not just a martial arts world.
”This' ring in the middle '...” Xiaotan walked along and said, ”is it the same as the settings of” huzhongjing ”and” Tianshu world ”in Xuanyuan sword series?”
”If so, the script will change from martial arts to immortal and supernatural.” ”But the giant crocodile monster we met before is a supernatural one. It's nothing strange.”
”Well In any case, the main task now has some clue. Maybe before we get out of here, brother Jue and sister Yu will go through the customs directly. ” Said little sigh.
”Don't dream...” Sad spirit immediately poured cold water on him: ”from the initial introduction, it can be seen that no matter what setting is implied in the script, the plot can't be separated from the duel between the two swordsmen, but we haven't found the connection yet. But as the exploration of the script increases, we will definitely be led to the duel by the cable in the end. ”
”Well Is there a huge conspiracy behind every duel between peerless masters... ” Little sigh.
”What do you think?” Sad spirit replied: ”in duel, two people will make an appointment to find a space, and they will win or lose. I went to this ghost town specially, but I didn't have a plot to choose a full moon night. ”
During the conversation, the tunnel in front of them has come to an end, and there is a dead end in front of them. A rock wall keeps the road airtight.
”No way...” ”I think your luck has always been good,” said the mourning spirit
”Ah?” ”Small sigh Leng for a while:” is it because of this reason before that let me guess
”What do you think?” Said the sad spirit weakly. She was rather discouraged. Because the road from the intersection to the end is quite long, it took them more than half an hour to get here. If they hit the wall here, it means they waste a lot of time and energy.
From falling into the pool, Xiaotan and Beiling swim to the shore. Explore, encounter, turn back, fight. Move on, explore By the time they got here, they were more than half fit. Although they can stop and recover at any time, they can rest as long as they want, but it is clear that they spend their time here, which will be a potential threat to the team. When the sun sets, if they don't return to the Inn room as planned, it will definitely affect the next actions of their teammates, which may lead to a series of unpredictable changes and risks.
So. Their main purpose is to leave the underground cave as soon as possible and safely.
”Well...” Little sigh seems to be affected by the sad look of sad spirit. I frowned and thought, ”eh? Maybe this wall, like the previous metal body, can unlock something? ” He said, went up to touch the rock wall with his hand, and tried to see if there would be a system menu popping up in the sight.
Sad spirit sighed: ”the unlocked system creation is very obvious, and this kind of scene is used to seal the road......” But before she had finished speaking, the rock wall changed unexpectedly.
This is not really the system setting that will give the player menu prompt, but after Xiaotan touched the rock with his hand, a layer of rock debris on the surface of the rock wall fell off instantly, and a circular concave area was exposed in the middle of the rock wall. The diameter of the groove is about fifty centimeters, and the interior is flat and smooth. In the light, you can see a symbol of Taiji in the groove.
[the branch task has been triggered]
[find Yin and Yang stone slabs, open the stone gate]
”that's all right?” Sad spirit is stunned. As soon as the task is triggered, she understands Before the intersection, it is estimated that every road must be taken back. There is a slate on the left and right sides, and in the middle here is the stone gate.
”So, if you try everything with tolerance, maybe something good will happen.” Small sigh says with a smile.
”Are you a good sir?” ”Don't worry about it. You have to go back to find the slate. Objectively speaking, it's still a waste of an hour's time and energy to take the middle road first.”
Xiaotan helped the miner's cap, bypassed Beiling, and walked in the opposite direction: ”objectively speaking, you let me guess at the beginning, and the result Alas... Well, it's my fault! ”
They turned back all the way and came to the crossroads. This time, they chose the road on the left.
Fortunately, the tunnel on this side didn't extend far. After only five or six minutes, they came to another open cave.
In fact, at the intersection, Beiling also considered to split up. It can save a lot of time for two people to pick up a slate. But she quickly dismissed the idea I'm not sure about Xiaotan's ability to deal with problems alone, for fear that he will never return.
”Look around.” After sighing, Beiling gently reminded her that after entering the cave, she was obviously alert.
Small sigh replied: ”ah I see. ” He also knows that according to the game's consistent urination, there must be some kind of flag to test the players, either a monster or a puzzle.
Sure enough, they had just walked in less than 10 meters, but when they saw the fire in the deep cave, they saw a strange shadow that was burning all over.
The speed of the shadow's skill is unimaginable. Three or two times, it jumps to the player's front not far away. Then it jumped up from the ground, as if it was completely free from the influence of gravity, jumped directly onto the top of the cave, held a stalactite hanging upside down on the top of the cave, looked at two players from a high place, and made a strange sound.
