Chapter 22 The Key
It should be the same white bones, the same bone color, the same missing parts, and surrounded by three sword spirits.
It seems that it is really the key to this lost place, otherwise the system would not have to let itself encounter it again. In this case, it is obviously wrong to conclude that it is just a simple poor person.
In fact, this is no wonder Xiao Lang was "careless". Strictly speaking, it seems that the system deliberately misled Xiao Lang to ignore the existence of the residual bones. Because Xiao Lang's current thinking mode is still the same as that of most players, thinking that in a game,
The key points of the mission will always be prompted to the player in a more conspicuous way, rather than being placed casually on the road.
Although the appearance of the broken bones for the first time may seem rather abrupt, which will immediately cause some high-end players to be alert, in Xiao Lang's concept, there is no such idea, or in other words, in the game, he has not cultivated this idea.
To be alert, for the same example, before he entered the novice trial mission and met the veteran, Xiao Lang did not search every place that might have hints, but chose to wait where he was.
Although his conjecture was correct, there was indeed nothing of value around there, but if it were any game veteran, he would definitely not be as idle as Xiao Lang.
After all, Xiao Lang's gaming experience in this area is still too shallow. Even if he became a professional player before, he had no contact with such things. Fortunately, the standard for measuring the level of a professional player is not these, but combat.
ability.
But now, Xiao Lang needs to be responsible for all the equipment, levels, and recovery items of the characters he uses, so he has to start learning again. In fact, in a sense, [Fantasy World] is the first game that Xiao Lang has come into contact with.
It is normal for optical brain games to behave like this.
Xiao Lang has a strong learning ability, otherwise he would not have been able to gain a foothold in a bounty hunter profession in just a few years, where paying tuition equals death. He will not make similar mistakes again.
Encountering the broken bones again, Xiao Lang naturally did not just wait and see from a distance, but directly chose to walk over, holding the broken sword firmly at the same time to guard against any sneak attack that might appear at any time.
The sneak attack did not occur, but a very puzzling situation occurred. As if they were so far away, Xiao Lang could not get close to the bones. No matter how he walked, the distance between the two seemed not to be shorter than half a minute.
This skeleton is really the key to breaking the situation, but the question is, what’s the use of a key that can only be seen if you can’t get it?
Before Xiao Lang chose to get close to the bones, he knew that if it was really a key, the life and death box would not allow him to get close to it too easily. However, Xiao Lang naturally could not have thought at the beginning that the difficulty would be so.
Condition.
Then Xiao Lang really has no solution. Faced with this unusual situation, not to mention that Xiao Lang only has a useless sword in his hand. Even if the [Five Ghosts Soul Containing Jar] can be used as usual, it probably won't be of use.
.
If some ordinary players encountered this situation, they would probably be blinded, but Xiao Lang seemed unhurried and stopped moving forward in vain. Instead, he sat down on the spot and quietly
thinking.
In the life and death box, you can encounter this remnant repeatedly, and you cannot simply get close to it. This result will occur. The only explanation is that this remnant is indeed the end point of Wuguan or a node, but it requires experienced people.
Approach it in some way. Obviously, the method of approaching it is the key to breaking the situation!
But what is this method of getting closer?
Xiao Lang tried to use the detection function provided by the system to the player, and found that it did not work on the bones at all. It was just like the normal player's detection of targets that were too far away, and the results were the same. Nothing was displayed. Similarly, the three swords
Ling Ye couldn't detect any valid information.
One broken bones, three sword spirits, it seems that this is the only information that can be brought to Xiao Lang, one broken bones, three sword spirits, three sword spirits... three sword spirits!
Xiao Lang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and he finally caught the lost key.
Surrounding the bones were three sword spirits. However, in the process of killing the sword spirits, he only encountered partial overlap in the hatred ranges of the two sword spirits at most. He did not see three sword spirits appearing at the same time.
What does this mean? It’s not because this skeleton is very important and needs three sword spirits to protect it!
This ordinary person can't get close, so what kind of protection does it need? If the key point is just this skeleton, then why does the system, or the life and death box, specially arrange three sword spirits around it? What's more, these three
The strength of the sword spirit cannot be said to be outstanding, and it cannot play a protective role at all.
And since the hatred ranges of the three sword spirits overlap here, it means that these sword spirits can overlap. Then why has I never encountered one since I started killing sword spirits? I have only seen one alone.
One, there are at most two overlapping sword spirits.
Xiao Lang finally understood that as to whether this was indeed the case, he still needed to try it himself.
Xiao Lang immediately left the Bones and continued to walk in a random direction. When he encountered a lone sword spirit, he would avoid it. He didn't care whether he would get lost or not, and he no longer placed obviously useless road signs. After a while, he encountered
Two sword spirits came together.
Xiao Lang came to the place where their hatred overlapped, which naturally caused them to attack at the same time.
If Xiao Lang faced such a situation just now, he would only choose to kill one of them. Anyway, as long as he can open the way forward, if the two sword spirits are too close together and it is difficult to seduce them alone, Xiao Lang will choose to kill them together.
Kill. But this time, Xiao Lang obviously made up his mind to kill both of them at the same time, so he stepped directly into the place where their hatred overlapped.
It is definitely more difficult than killing someone alone. After all, this means that Xiao Lang has less room to move. However, based on the inferior swordsmanship of the Sword Spirit, it will not cause much trouble to Xiao Lang, but it will only take more effort.
That's all, it probably only took more than ten minutes for the two sword spirits to reveal their true colors one after another and fall to the ground.
After killing the two sword spirits, Xiao Lang just took a few steps and found that the visibility around him was slightly lower again, but the degree was very subtle. If Xiao Lang hadn't deliberately observed it, he would hardly have noticed it.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lang killed another lone sword spirit. This lone sword spirit was very easy to find and could be found almost everywhere.
Sure enough, as Xiao Lang expected, after killing the sword spirit, the visibility returned to its previous state.
No wonder Xiao Lang always felt that although the visibility around him changed occasionally, it soon returned to its original state. Xiao Lang didn't care at that time, thinking it was because he was too tired and his eyesight was dizzy. It turned out that he had killed two swordsmen at the same time.
After killing the sword spirit, it can be seen through the visibility scale that the progress has indeed increased, but then after killing the lone sword spirit, the progress returned to the original position.
Xiao Lang tried to face two sword spirits again, and only killed one of them at a time, because after all, their hatred ranges only partially overlapped, and they could be drawn out one by one to kill them.
Found that the ruler has not changed!
That’s it! Xiao Lang let out a sigh of relief. Although he still dared not say that he fully understood the key to this martial arts pass, he at least showed that the direction he had speculated was correct, and it would be easy to handle.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but now that the thread has been found, the rest will be much easier.
Xiao Lang found two sword spirits again. After killing them, when he encountered a single or two sword spirits, he went around directly. In less than two quarters of an hour, even Xiao Lang himself forgot that he had bypassed them.
After many sword spirits, Xiao Lang finally found three sword spirits distributed in an equilateral triangle, which were no different from the three sword spirits guarding the remaining bones.
If it were someone with a slightly weaker mind, I would probably sing "I shed tears knowing the truth" right now.
Xiao Lang was not so funny, but he still silently and cordially greeted the female relatives of the programmer who designed this task, including those eighteen generations up.
Xiao Lang could fully imagine that if a hundred players were put into Wuguan, it is estimated that only one or two would be able to complete this kind of "IQ" task within a certain period of time.
The reason why we emphasize a certain period of time is mainly because although in [Fantasy World], players do not have a satiety setting, that is, there is no risk of starvation or thirst. In theory, they can
You can survive indefinitely in a certain maze, but in fact, if it were replaced by an indigenous NPC
On the premise of not starving to death, after ten years of escaping from a certain maze, and thus achieving great feats, you may feel that you have made a profit. However, if the player is trapped for ten years, even if you can perform martial arts after escaping, you will be the best in the world.
First, so what? I think [Tianxia] has only been operating for about ten years.
In fact, Xiao Lang also mistakenly blamed other designers. The reason is very simple. The tasks in [Fantasy World] are so complicated that it is impossible for all the tasks to be designed by designers. What's more, even if each designer is only specialized in designing
A hundred such tasks, even if Conan Doyle came in person, his brain would not be enough.
Of course, since he had already sent greetings, there was no need for Xiao Lang to take them back again. Facing three sword spirits with overlapping hatreds, killing them was the first priority.
The overlapping range of hatred of the three sword spirits is a little narrower, but that's all. Although these sword spirits seem to have swordsmen controlling them behind them, the swordsmanship of these swordsmen is too lame. The best I can say is
It's a bit stronger than the enemy soldiers outside Novice Village who only know how to stab, hack, and slash.
This is because Xiao Lang's level is too low. As a result, today's sword spirits are only in the first and second levels, and their level is only equivalent to that of a low-level shrimp in the world of martial arts. However, Xiao Lang has combat qualities that far exceed the level of physical training.
It's no problem to get them down.
And if the realm of those who enter the life and death box experience is high, correspondingly, the sword spirit they encounter at this moment may be a high-grade yellow level, and the combat level will naturally increase accordingly.
