Chapter 378: One Scissor Cut and You're Off to Another World
Chen Ye nodded, then shook his head and said, "In theory, it is like this, but I have already said that this is just my judgment. But whether it is true or not, we have to go in to know."
Strict... But this also makes sense!
Wang Jing and others nodded like chickens pecking at rice, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. In this "Weird Era", if you want to become a master, you really need to have such thinking!
Judgment is necessary, but you can't blindly believe that your judgment is correct.
After making some thinking, you still need to leave some room for error.
In this way, when taking more radical actions with high risks and high returns, you can bring yourself more living space.
The figures of the crowd passed through the miasma and went to the depths of the Grand Canyon.
A protective light was released around Chen Xi, covering the surroundings.
Sizzle! ! !
When the surrounding corrosive breath fell on [Xiguang Guardian], it immediately made a scorching sound.
However, these corrosive effects could not even reduce the halo of the shield.
It can be seen...
This formation is at most a little bluffing in appearance, but its real power is not as great as imagined.
Only a small part of the star spirit body is needed to successfully resist it purely by relying on the passive effect of [Dawn Guardian].
There is no need to swallow even sugar-roasted chestnuts...
In the natural state of the morning light, a shallow meditation can make up for the deficit.
With the help of [Dawn Guardian], everyone naturally entered the canyon smoothly.
The surrounding vision was also compressed into darkness.
After Chen Ye summoned the light of the soul-guiding lamp, he could barely see the vision within a few dozen meters around.
And more, he had to rely on mental power to perceive what was happening around him.
However...
This kind of vision suppression has no effect on the pupil of luck.
Chen Ye can still see the overall luck aura of this area.
If there are other players nearby, or indigenous people, then the corresponding luck aura will also be displayed.
At this moment.
At this place, the number of players is obviously much less than that at the entrance.
"It seems that... the formation at the entrance is still somewhat effective. At least the number of players coming here has become much less." Shen Meng looked around the surrounding scene and said aloud.
"Not entirely." Wang Jing shook his head, "We have all bought maps, the Grand Canyon is very large, almost occupying one-third of the underground world, and it is a very vast area."
"Even if the flow is the same, it will appear much thinner when compared with the narrow place at the entrance."
"What's more, those who dare to take the risk to enter the canyon are generally high-end players. They must have the means to hide their tracks and have certain tactical reserves, and will not expose themselves at will."
"Therefore, although there are no other players here, it does not mean that they do not exist."
At this moment.
Chenxi's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and he said, "Be careful! There seems to be some bloodthirsty breath nearby... It seems to be... some kind of monster."
Chen Ye said, "There are many polluted monsters in the Grand Canyon. They are generally insects with combat capabilities of about the second and third turns."
Just then, a "click" sound suddenly came from the deep soil next to him.
A translucent fish with a lantern on its head, with scales all over its body, rising and falling.
Although the scales were as ugly as charcoal, when they opened and closed, the meat exposed inside was abnormally white and translucent, crystal pink, like pearls.
Without saying a word, Chen Ye cut directly with a pair of scissors.
The body of the fish was divided into two parts and snapped instantly.
"Why is there a fish here?"
Everyone looked at the body of the fish curiously.
As expected of the boss, he was quick to act!
The other players were startled by the sudden movement, but once Chen Ye made a move, everyone seemed to be able to eat the grilled fish.
Chen Ye looked down and found that the grilled fish was so crisp that it was gone with one scissor cut...
It didn't even struggle!
It seemed to be different from the bloody centipedes with particularly strong vitality that we encountered before!
The nine-tailed fox stroked his chin and said, "This is a rock fish, which can swim actively between the rock layers. However, rock fish are also a kind of fish. They are generally distributed in the deep reefs of the sea. They rely on the movement of the seabed crust to form a geographical environment, so as to find a habitat with complex terrain."
"It doesn't mean that rock fish will live in this rock!"
"It is a creature belonging to the sea, which can be roughly classified as a sea monster and a rock system. How could it appear in this place?"
"Is there... a sea area nearby?"
The nine-tailed fox, with its rich record knowledge, saw the origin of this rock fish at a glance and spoke out curiously.
Although there are many rocks in the underground world...
But the living environment of rockfish is not actually here.
At most, it will only be active at the estuary leading to the lower reaches of the Xijiang River.
It should be a long distance from the underground world, right?
However, it is a bit curious that rockfish appear in this place.
Chenxi thought about it and suddenly realized something. He said, "Didn't we pass through the lightless Sea of Dead Bodies on the way here? I remember there seems to be such a special path that can reach the underground world. Could it be that we ran from there?"
But Chen Ye shook his head and denied:
"Indeed... you can reach the world through the lightless Sea of Dead Bodies."
"But it should be noted that the sea is full of undead. The living cannot pass through and will be rejected."
"So, how do you think a half-step second-turn monster can cross the Sea of Dead Bodies if it follows that path?"
As soon as this was said, the team members immediately fell into deep thought...
The path that Chenxi mentioned is indeed not suitable for rockfish.
After all, a small rockfish can go to another world with a scissor cut...
How can it be possible to cross the dangerous Sea of Dead Bodies?
Even if it is a higher profession, it is impossible to travel back and forth so easily without a ghost ship or a special profession.
Therefore, it is obviously unlikely that the rockfish followed the route that Chenxi said, crossing the lightless sea of dead bodies and arriving here.
So where did this thing come from...
It is unknown.
A piece of [Rockfish Brain] did fall from the rockfish.
Swallowing it can gain rock-type characteristics.
However... as a characteristic item used for the second job change, it is obviously not very useful for everyone in the group.
The dropped characteristics are not that rare or precious...
It may not even be sold for the price of a bloody centipede.
"Hey! I thought there would be a pie in the sky, but it turned out to be just such an ordinary second-job monster. The characteristic items dropped can't be sold for much..."
Wang Jing said with a little regret.
"That's not the case." Chen Ye smiled, "At least... this rock fish has tender meat, and it's a good choice for making dishes."
"That makes sense!"
Wang Jing smiled immediately. When he heard that it could be used as food, his regretful look disappeared.
"Let's go!"
Chen Ye said in a deep voice: "The road conditions ahead may be a little dangerous. If you encounter a situation where you can't walk, just tell me in advance and don't be stubborn."
The terrain of the canyon is like an abyss, constantly going down.
There are only jagged rocks around for climbing.
However, since the terrain of the canyon is very irregular, it is shaped like a nine-curve coiled dragon, and it is easy to find corridor-like stairs for walking.
Of course...most of these stairs are sloped, and some are covered with jagged rocks, like the teeth of a beast, bursting out abruptly.
Walking here in a dark environment, no one knows whether a rock like a saber tooth will appear at the next intersection, and suddenly hit you head-on, which is scary.
For a profession of about the first level, coming here is almost the same as sending heads.
Even if you don't encounter monsters, if you have full luck points, facing this terrain, there will be a lot of risks.
Only those who have reached the second level and have excellent mobility can walk here.
Everyone moved continuously towards the bottom of the canyon.
Although Chen Ye did not use the [Lightless Stalker], his [Air Slash Demon], which reached the half-step fourth level, provided excellent physical fitness. With his agile movements, climbing with bare hands, it was no problem to overcome this terrain.
Chenxi's side was even simpler. Originally, the [Guardian of Dawn] she took was more inclined to warriors in the Lieyang sequence. The physical fitness provided was not much inferior to that of demons. After reaching the fourth level, she could move even more easily than Chen Ye when climbing with bare hands.
Of course... if compared with the state of dark elementalization, there is no comparison.
It is not a thing of the same level.
The nine-tailed fox directly gave itself a pair of demon wings with the ability of [Recorder].
After being given the ability to float, this kind of leyline is no different from a decoration.
Of course, Chen Ye can also obtain this demon form by swallowing [Golden Fried Griffin].
But he thought that the other members in the team probably couldn't keep up, and swallowing a piece of food would waste another piece of meat... It's a bit painful!
Well, the other members can't walk fast anyway, and they always use the dark action mode. It's harmless to change to a new one occasionally.
What's more... You can't rely on darkening to move in any battle. After all, [Lightless Stalker] can only be used in lightless conditions. What if there is light?
You still have to rely on your own strength.
So, take this opportunity to adapt to the current physical activity state. In the subsequent actual combat process, the control of yourself will become stronger, which is also part of the strength.
As the team walked down, Shen Meng's performance was a bit unexpected.
She was originally the lowest-level member in the team.
But with the dexterity of the "Cat Demon", it can shuttle through complex terrains. Judging from its performance, it is not inferior to Chen Ye and Chen Xi who are climbing barehanded.
On the other hand, although the King Realm is a little higher in level than Shen Meng, few of its own characteristics are related to agility and speed.
Even if it swallowed [Honey-Grilled Chicken Wings] and gained a percentage increase in speed, because the foundation is too poor, no effect can be reflected.
There were many sections where I had to wait for Wang Jing for a while.
It was really a drag...
Finally, the Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't stand it anymore, so he summoned a demon griffin and dragged Wang Jing, and then he caught up with the pace of the main force.
"Eh? You can actually summon demons? When did it happen?"
Wang Jing looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox with a little surprise.
"It was after I absorbed the [Devil's Fairy Tale Town] last time that I gained the ability to summon a series of abilities."
"But... I didn't know much about demons at that time."
"Recently, there are many posts selling information, books and intelligence on the [Weird Black Market]. I went to find some information related to demons, recorded it, and slowly I can summon demons."
The Nine-Tailed Fox explained.
"It's worthy of the characteristics of [Recorder], it's really convenient!"
Chen Ye looked at the summoned demon griffin and sighed slightly.
Last month, when he captured the Bloody Building, he obtained the electronic music characteristics and encountered a group of griffins on the roof.
At that time, I thought these monsters were difficult to deal with...
But I didn't expect that the employees around me now have the ability to summon such monsters.
The griffin with demon blood has a back length of seven meters, which can accommodate five adults.
Anyway, the griffin has been summoned...
This part of the mental power must be consumed.
So I simply invited Chen Ye, Chen Xi and others to sit on it and move together.
Chen Ye originally wanted to exercise his mobility more, but when he saw Chen Xi, Shen Meng and Wang Jing sitting on it without hesitation, he would delay the team's progress if he walked so slowly!
Okay!
With a sigh in his heart, Chen Ye also stood on the broad back of the griffin.
Suddenly, under the leadership of the griffin mount, everyone's mobility rose to a higher level.
Suddenly...
There seemed to be a huge monster in front, trying to pass by here.
"Be careful!"
Chen Xi said, and sprinkled star-like powder to the side.
The powder immediately formed a small barrier around them, protecting everyone's figures.
Just then...
An ancient, huge ghost ship passed through here with a translucent shadow.
When it met Chenxi and others, the ghost ship paused.
But soon, the ghost ship showed weakness, floating in the air, passing by Chen Ye and others, and did not stop here.
"As long as this barrier is not broken, it can hide our existence, and they should not have discovered it." Chenxi looked at the ghost ship's shadow going away and said slowly.
