Chapter 132 The ruins under the ruins

"Now I can't even figure out the north, south, east, west, what do you want me to do?"

"But it's too much to try your luck...!"

"Don't worry, the game will not publish impossible missions, so don't be afraid even if you get lost, just keep moving forward. In the end, you will definitely encounter either a reward or a boss. It's best to have rewards, and it's okay to encounter a boss. It’s not that we will definitely die. If I’m an ordinary boss, it won’t be a big concern. If there is a boss that I can’t defeat, then just accept your fate!”

"You are really an optimist!"

"I'm not an optimist but an activist. Instead of wasting time trying to think of a solution, it's better to get started first." I said as I walked towards the nearest door. It was just a matter of luck anyway, it didn’t really make any difference which way I went, so I just didn’t have to think about it. The female archer hesitated a little and followed. After all, it would be unwise to separate from me at this time.

The structure of the passage here is exactly the same as the one we came here before, so most people can't remember those details at all. Of course, I can remember it. We dragons have electronic chips in our brains. If necessary, we can archive what we see at the photo level. Of course, the details can be preserved according to our ideas, but there is a prerequisite for this kind of preservation, that is, I have to Consciously save it actively. Under normal circumstances, the auxiliary chip in the brain will only make conceptual fuzzy memories of the environment and will not really record all the details. Otherwise, no matter how big my brain capacity is, there will be A full day's worth.

Not far along this passage, a wall suddenly blocked the way. At first we thought we had reached a dead end and were about to go back when suddenly another wall fell down in the passage behind us, sealing the place where we were standing into a sealed room like a small elevator. As soon as the room was sealed, the ground shook violently, and the feeling of weightlessness reappeared. It was obvious that the room was falling down again, and the depth of the drop this time was considerable, because the elevator remained in the weightless state for a long time before gradually slowing down. But new problems soon emerged.

This ancient "elevator" did not stop after decelerating for a while. Instead, it descended at a very slow speed. Water suddenly began to seep into the electricity from the cracks in the surrounding walls, but the speed was relatively slow. Look at the progress. It will probably take several minutes to completely fill it up. The female archer started to panic as soon as she discovered that the elevator was flooded, but she calmed down after I handed over a pendant with a breathing function. Most warrior helmets have underwater breathing functions, and most non-warrior players will choose to buy water-proof pendants. Because some of the maps in "Zero" are underwater environments, the lack of underwater combat capabilities is a headache.

With the protection of the amulet, the female archer is no longer afraid of rising water levels. Soon the elevator was completely filled with water, but the elevator was still descending. After another ten minutes, the elevator suddenly shook, and then obviously stopped descending. However, it did not stop, but suddenly began to move sideways. After gliding like this for a while, the small elevator finally stopped, and then the wall on one side suddenly rose up, revealing a short passage. I took the female archer's hand, then floated up and pushed hard on the wall in the opposite direction, and my whole body immediately jumped forward. After passing through the passage that was only a few meters long, my eyes suddenly opened up, but what I saw shocked me very much.

The location we are currently in is the exit of that passage, and to our left and right are a large row of identical exits spaced five meters apart, and they extend to a place beyond my sight. Above these exits is a wall that rises vertically, the height of which cannot be judged as the top cannot be seen. Below this row of passages is a huge slope that slopes downward at a steep angle of sixty degrees. This slope is almost more than three hundred meters long, and at the bottom of the slope is a huge city, or the ruins of the city.

If we ignore the rock formations above us and the surrounding water, what is behind us can be imagined as a dam, and what is below us is the city protected by the dam. It just depends on the nearby water and the depth we are in. It doesn't seem like it.

"How magnificent!"

"It's very grand, but what I'm more concerned about is where this place is!" I asked the female archer: "What level are you now?"

"Eight hundred and three."

I nodded. "Not too low." In fact, judging from the situation of ordinary players, the level of the female archer is not simply "not too low." Her level should be "quite high." It's just different from me. Compared with the level, it can only be said that it is not too low.

"You put on this first." I threw over a set of special equipment, and the female archer looked at me in confusion, wondering why I suddenly gave her a set of equipment. I had no choice but to explain: "Now I am not sure whether this mission is for you or for me, so you must not die before confirming this. And I am not sure what dangers you will encounter in the future, so I will change it for you." If you wear better equipment, you will at least have a better chance of survival. Don't be too impressed, this equipment is not a good thing for me."

Although I said this, the female archer couldn't help but be excited for a long time. This set of equipment is indeed not a good thing for me, but it is different for her. It's like those royal members in Europe don't take ordinary small diamond rings seriously, but ordinary girls don't care about small diamond rings? I'm numb to the good equipment, but she has never seen equipment with such good attributes. In fact, the stuff I gave her wasn't too bad. It was originally a speed-type agility combat suit, but it was just fine for archers. Although it lacked the auxiliary attributes that archers need to increase their hit rate, But at least the agility attribute of this thing is quite high, so the hit rate will also be increased. The most important thing is that the defense of this equipment is very high. It is warrior equipment after all. By the standards of an archer, she can at least beat the resistance of three ordinary archers when wearing this equipment. At least it is basically impossible for others to beat her. The archer profession is destined not to rush too far forward in combat combinations. As long as she pays attention to replenishing blood in time, it is unlikely that she will die.

With equipment protection, the safety of female archers is guaranteed. I grabbed her shoulders with both hands and spread my wings to slowly flap in the water. Although my wings are used for flying in the air, as long as I use full speed, the propulsion force in the water is just as powerful. With the help of our wings, we slid across that slope at a very fast speed and reached the ruins of the city below.

I couldn't see it from a distance just now, but when I got closer I realized that this ruin was not actually a ruin. It can be said that the entire city is basically intact, at least it does not look dilapidated, and due to the isolation of air under the water, there is no oxidation effect. The only problem is that the ground of the city has been covered with a dense layer of covered with aquatic plants. The underwater world in which this city is located seems to be completely closed, and the water in the entire environment hardly flows. In addition, the water itself is very clear, so there is not much sediment, and because this is a closed underground Environment, so there is not as much sunshine as in ordinary lakes or oceans, so although there are many aquatic plants, they all grow very small. However, although this is a closed environment, it is not completely dark. In fact, when we just left that passage, I noticed that there were many pillars evenly distributed on the streets of this city like street lamps, with five luminous crystals hanging on the top of each pillar. The blue light emitted by these crystals is the only light source here, but this is a cold light that itself provides very little energy, so there are no large aquatic plants here, and without large aquatic plants, a large-scale food chain cannot be formed. Therefore, there are very few small fish and shrimps here.

"What a magical place!" the female archer sighed as she looked at the city below.

"It's not magical, it's weird."

"Um?"

"Don't you think it's too clean here?"

"clean?"

"Have you seen any aquatic animals after being down for so long?"

"That's not true."

"Such a large area of ​​aquatic plants, even if it grows slowly because it is only illuminated by cold light, should at least be able to breed some small fish and shrimps, right? Then will there be larger aquatic animals above the small fish and shrimps? But you Did you see any large aquatic animals?”

"you mean……!"

"I mean certain things are bound to exist."

The female archer thought what I said was strange, but then she noticed that my face was always facing in one direction, and she immediately turned her eyes and understood what I meant. I saw a huge black shadow rising slowly in the ruins not far away. It seemed that this thing was at least as big as a blue whale.

"Ah! Run! There's a monster!"

"It's good to have monsters." I said and suddenly let go of the female archer. "Go down and wait for me for a while. Be aware that there may be other monsters nearby, so be careful." After saying that, I immediately flapped my wings and started to rise, and activated a lighting spell. My goal now is to lure that guy to me. The female archer's combat power is definitely no match for that monster, so it's best to keep a distance to avoid affecting her.

The fact that the monster will rise already means that it has discovered us, and now my lighting technique has pointed the direction for this guy. But after the black shadow rose for a while, something strange happened. Many dark red areas suddenly appeared on its body. These areas just formed circular patterns. As these patterns began to get brighter and brighter, they soon surpassed the brightness of my lighting technology, so that I had to adjust the goggles of the magic dragon suit to blackout mode to resist the strong light.

"Damn, you think you are the sun?"
