"You mean...there are secret underground passages in the wilderness?"
On the empty grass in the four-difficulty wilderness, Chen Yi was talking to Zhang Jianjun and Lan Meier. "" ()
Since Chen Yi and Zhang Jianjun separated that time, Zhang Jianjun and Lan Meier got together and soon established a team called the Warriors.
Chen Yi knew about this, because shortly after the team was established, Zhang Jianjun spent money to buy a team assembly order from Chen Yi, and Chen Yi gave him a preferential price.
However, after Chen Yi was promoted to the third difficulty, due to inconvenience in contact with both sides, Chen Yi did not know that the Warriors had also been promoted to the apartment area not long ago and completed two tasks.
With the team assembly order, Zhang Jianjun became more and more courageous and dared to enter the wilderness again. However, due to his limited strength, he did not dare to challenge those powerful beasts, so he tried his best to find some less powerful beasts. Strong, but it is possible to give good things.
Finally he thought of the Ashes Capital.
He decided to go to the Ashes to get the mission token.
Since task tokens are obtained through mining, unlike other special props, the acquisition of task tokens requires more luck rather than strength.
For example, although the Blade Blade Team is rampant in the wilderness, it just can't get the task command token.
Of course, this is also related to their cherishing time and not wanting to waste it in this uncertain area - for those with strength, controllability is the most important thing, and for those with insufficient strength, it is also a good idea to try your luck The choice.
Ashes are special areas spanning the second and third zones. The most special place there is that the ferocious beasts living there are all undead transformed from adventurers after their deaths, and they are extremely cunning and have a huge area of activity.
Since the undead in the third zone will move across regions, for the second zone, Ashes are one of the most dangerous areas in the second difficulty wilderness. However, for the adventurers in the third zone, the danger of the Ashes is greatly reduced, and it is also The best place for low-level adventurers to go to adventure.
So Zhang Jianjun went to the Ashes Capital not long ago, hoping to try his luck there.
He was indeed lucky. He collected seven kinds of jade in just two days. Seeing that a task command was obtained, the members of the Warriors were excited, their confidence increased greatly, and they continued to mine happily, even those in the mine cave. In their eyes, the ferocious beasts became cute.
Unfortunately, their good luck seemed to have come to an end. In the following time, they were unable to dig a few decent pieces of jade.
Seeing that the time wasted was getting more and more, the gains were minimal, and even Zhang Jianjun was anxious.
He eventually made a risky move: to go deeper into the mine.
"Did you go to the lower mine? Are you crazy?" Chen Yi was startled by Zhang Jianjun's choice.
Zhang Jianjun sighed: "I was also blinded by the interests at that time."
The mine in the Ashes Capital is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, and the monsters living inside are also different, corresponding to the difficulty of the second, third and fourth levels. As for the fifth difficulty, since there is only the interstellar world, the mission token has no effect, it does not exist. Corresponding mine cave area.
Zhang Jianjun and the others are adventurers of the third difficulty, so they can just mine in the middle-level mine. However, Chen Yi knew that mining is the same as hunting beasts, the higher the chance of going to the lower level. However, the broken blade that was mined at the second-level mine was The team did not dare to break through the area and go down to the middle level. The guys who were just barely hang out in the middle level actually dared to run down to the bottom level. They can only say that this is really a waste of money and life.
This is the harm of a gambling game. Before most people get addicted to gambling, they just gamble to make fun of each other, but in the end they always develop into big gambling and eventually end up in a situation where forced gambling is destroyed.
Zhang Jianjun also had the intention of taking a gamble. He wanted to put a few hoes near the entrance of the mine before encountering the four-difficulty beasts in the lower mine cave. If there is any danger, he would return with the mine cave.
He thought he could go in and out repeatedly with the teleportation point like Shen Yi.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the mine, he encountered a large number of countless ferocious beasts, and almost killed him in one blow, and even blocked his retreat, forcing him to use the teleportation scroll to escape.
.
Later he realized that someone had done this kind of thing, and the consequence was that the lower mine naturally attracted a large number of monsters to block the door. Adventurers almost died, and even adventurers of four difficulty levels did not dare to enter.
.
But the lower mine cave was actually a self-contained area, and the teleportation scroll did not teleport it away, but directly sent it to any point in the mine cave.
Now Zhang Jianjun is in trouble. He immediately cannot teleport out. The team assembly order has been used, and a large number of monsters are blocked at the entrance of the cave. The people above cannot get out, and the people below cannot get up, and they become sleepy and waiting to die.
Death situation.
Zhang Jianjun had no choice but to find a way out everywhere.
Finally he discovered an underground river in the mine cave.
At that time, Zhang Jianjun was already trapped and waited for death, so he simply made up his mind and jumped into the underground river, and flowed along the river to see if he could find a way out.
Fortunately, his adventurer's physique could withstand a long time of no breathing, and in the end he actually brought him back to the wilderness along the river, and he was still in the Ashes Capital, and finally recovered his life.
"Then why did you go into the mine again later? And you even appeared here directly?" Shen Yi was puzzled.
Zhang Jianjun sighed: "You know that people's hearts are always greedy. At the beginning, a large number of monsters in the lower mine cave surrounded the door, and the result was that there were few monsters in other locations in the mine cave, but they were much safer. Otherwise, I would not have been able to run out at the beginning. Later, I
I think if I could swim into the mine from that river again, I could mine freely there.”
"So that's how it is."
"But I didn't expect that when we entered the river again, we accidentally discovered a secret door."
"Secret door?"
"Yes!" Speaking of this, Zhang Jianjun's face suddenly became excited: "It turns out that there is a secret underground passage under the lower mine cave!"
"Then you broke into the passage? Just like in the novel, looking forward to discovering a hidden secret treasure cave?"
Zhang Jianjun smiled embarrassedly and lowered his head and replied: "Yes, we did think so at the beginning. You also know that many things in this world do not exist for no reason. When we saw the secret door, we were really excited and thought we could find it.
I have found some unknown secret nest and look forward to making a big splash from it.”
"What's the result?"
Zhang Jianjun showed a bitter smile on his face: "We opened the secret door and found a long passage behind the door. So we walked along the passage, thinking that if there was any danger, we would withdraw. Unexpectedly, after passing through the passage,
But we found that the passage was a branch of a maze. We came to an area with seventeen or eighteen forks. Just as we were discussing how to go, a ferocious beast suddenly rushed out of a branch.
It was a ferocious beast with a similar strength as the Shadow Leopard, but since there was only one, we were not afraid of it. We fought with it, but soon we found out that we were wrong..."
Chen Yi thought for a while and asked, "Are you lost?"
Zhang Jianjun nodded with a wry smile: "Yes."
Fierce battles often make people unable to tell the direction. When the battle ends, Zhang Jianjun and others find that they can no longer tell which one is the passage they come in.
In this case, they could only try one way or another, but the new ferocious beasts continued to appear, which soon made them completely lost in the underground maze.
"How did you come out later?"
"Travel around, try your luck." Zhang Jianjun answered honestly.
After the Warriors found themselves completely lost, they simply let go of their worries and walked around, but they finally discovered a stone chamber.
There is nothing in the stone chamber, only one magic circle.
After Zhang Jianjun and his team stepped onto the magic circle, they were directly teleported out.
They thought they had regained their freedom, but when they were excited, they didn't expect that a large group of shadow beasts would kill them. It turned out that the place where the teleportation array teleported them was actually the dark jungle in the four-difficulty area.
The Warriors were frightened now and could only run wildly under the pursuit of a large group of shadow beasts. If it weren't for Chen Yi, the team would have probably died.
Listening to Zhang Jianjun's narrative, Chen Yi frowned.
For some reason, after hearing Zhang Jianjun's account, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if these places had some wonderful connection with him.
He stood up and walked several steps behind his back, thinking hard, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he took out a map from the emblem and spread it in front of Zhang Jianjun.
This is the map that Chen Yi took out with the Eye of the Underworld in Netherworld Valley.
There are many peculiar marks on this map, mainly used to indicate those places that are more dangerous, but due to the age of time and the changes in wilderness cities, many of the information on it has become distorted, so it is of no use to Chen Yi.
However, there are some areas above that are marked with special symbols, but Chen Yi has never been able to find out what this mark represents.
Until this moment, he took out the map and pointed to one of them. He asked Zhang Jianjun: "Is this the place where you enter the underground passage from the river?"
Zhang Jianjun looked at the map for a long time and hesitated: "It should be... I can't be too sure, but it seems that the area represented by this mark is very close to where we entered."
"What about this?" Chen Yi pointed to the dark jungle part of the four-difficulty area, which was a * number.
Zhang Jianjun was stunned at first, then pointed to the number * mark and shouted: "That's right, we came out from here! This number *... Hell, this number * looks like that teleportation array!"
"No. * represents the hexagram array." Chen Yi said lightly: "No. ~ represents the river."
And not far from the ~ number, there is a strange ∞ number. Chen Yi pointed to this ∞ number and said: "∞ represents infinity, which should mean the maze."
Then his eyes stayed on the number not far away.
"There is also such a symbol here, which should represent the deepest secret of the maze... You were once so close to it, but unfortunately you missed it."
Zhang Jianjun looked at Chen Yi's finger in amazement but pointed at other places. It was another * mark.
Chen Yi said: "There are nine such numbers * marks on this map. It is very likely that each mark represents a teleportation array, but its end point actually points to one place, which is the underground maze... It seems that there are indeed some secrets hidden in this maze, waiting for us to dig...it is like the valley of strange beasts."
Chen Yi had already closed the map and said, "There are nine *-shaped symbols in total, which should represent different places of entry."
He looked at Zhang Jianjun and smiled and said, "Are you interested in going to another underground maze?"
