Chapter 123 The Most Difficult Scene
As we prayed, the system suddenly said: "The special scene of this application is the most difficult experimental site prepared by the system for the advanced player league, so the natural environment is extremely dangerous. To prevent unnecessary accidents, please send Stay standing and don't move around to avoid non-combat casualties. Let's start teleporting the target."
Before we could figure out what the system meant, we felt the picture in front of us suddenly change, and then we felt as if we had regained our ability to move. However, instead of bringing us any sense of relaxation, this regained mobility made us tense up. Because just after we adapted to the environment in front of us, everyone was surprised to find that there was a large and terrifying magma pool under our feet. Of course, we are not standing directly in the magma, but on stone slabs floating on the lava. It would have been nice to have a stone slab station, but the problem is that the area of these stone slabs is only a few dozen square centimeters. If we stand on them and move our bodies casually, the slabs will shake around, and we may fall in if we are not careful. Go inside the magma.
Originally, it would be fine if everyone stood on the stone slab, but what makes us extremely uncomfortable is that the only people on our side who appeared on such an extremely dangerous small stone slab, and Ghost-hand Nobunaga and the others were all standing on the stone slab. It's a whole piece of stone slab that's about the size of a basketball court. Although their slate is also floating in the lava, it is big enough after all. Even if it shakes due to the movement of people on it, the degree is very slight. At least there is no need to worry about it accidentally happening like ours. Flip into the lava.
Although the situation between the two parties was unfair, the system was the system, and there was no point in being angry with it, so we didn’t complain. After confirming that it was temporarily safe, we immediately began to observe other situations around us.
The place we are now is a large lava lake, which is very wide in front, back, left and right. Although the walls can also be seen, the distance is only about one or two kilometers, so the space is still quite large. However, although it looked like a lava lake at first, as we spent more time here, we discovered that this should actually be a lava river rather than a closed lava lake. As for the evidence, it’s these rocks beneath our feet. Since we appeared here just now, these rocks have been moving in one direction, and the rocks themselves should not move. So the only explanation is that the lava is flowing, so the rocks floating on it are also brought with it. Moving. However, compared to the flow of lava, the bigger problem is that the rocks under our feet do not seem to be able to withstand the high temperature here. As the time we stand increases, the rocks supporting us actually begin to melt, crack, and move downward. sinking trend. Judging from the situation, we can't stand on a rock for long. But luckily, as the lava flows, rock fragments are constantly washed down from the upstream, so as long as we have a good balance, we can jump back and forth on these rocks floating on the surface of the lava, so that we can ensure that we Always standing on the rock.
In fact, this section of the lava river is not entirely filled with floating rocks. There are about seven or eight stone pillars that will not flow with the lava, and there is also a field about the size of half a basketball court in the center of the entire area. Fixed land. This piece of land plus the eight rock pillars is the only safe area here, at least it is much safer compared to the swaying floating rocks that may melt at any time.
This scene is described by the system as an ultra-difficult test scene. Of course, it is impossible to rely solely on the constantly moving lava blocks to support the scene. After all, the people here are all masters, and their physical agility is first-rate. Even if mages like Kristina are not good at jumping, there are spells like teleportation that can ensure that they can safely replace rock blocks. Of course, in this environment, you have to pay attention to when the rocks under your feet will melt, find the next foothold, and fight the enemy at the same time. This is an extremely complicated task in itself. But if there is only this little difficulty, it cannot be said to be the highest difficulty for us. The real difficulty of this scene actually goes beyond that.
Because this is an underground lava river, it actually has a roof. What's even more annoying is that there are actually two very annoying existences on the top of this cave - lava holes and face pillars. Lava holes are small holes ranging in size from the thickness of a finger to more than a meter in diameter. The holes themselves are nothing, but the key is that they will flow out a stream of lava from time to time, and this is not fixed, but appears randomly. This means that you have to pay extra attention to the top of your head when fighting and choosing to change rocks, otherwise it will not be fun if you are poured down by a pocket of lava. In addition to lava holes, lava pillars are also a nuisance. This thing is actually a bit like stalactites, hanging upside down from the ceiling of the cave. The first major harm is that it makes the cave space extremely complicated, pushing the already low caves even lower, making it impossible for people who can fly like me to fly at all, and the long and short ones are The lava pillar itself also makes the structure of the cave roof extremely complicated, making our plan to move on the cave roof with the help of rope grapples extremely troublesome. However, the biggest danger of lava pillars is not here. Their real danger is that these things are also full of holes. Although no magma will come out, it will emit a stream of high-temperature steam from time to time. Although high-temperature steam is not as lethal as lava, it erupts very quickly and frequently. In terms of cumulative damage, it is probably even worse than lava.
There are deadly lava flows and high-temperature steam above, and there are pools of lava and unstable rocks below. Fighting in such a scene can be said to be a torment. If you want to avoid the negative effects of this scenario, there are only two ways. One is to leave here, and the other is to stand on those rock pillars or land that won't move. However, the above two solutions are actually not very good.
If you want to leave here, you can only go up and down or left and right along the rocky river channel. Unfortunately, the rock walls on both sides of the river cannot be destroyed, and there is no way to leave through the hole. It's not that the system prohibits us from digging holes in the wall, but because there are a few small holes in the wall, but they are all spewing magma. This is equivalent to the system telling us that there is lava behind the wall. If we don't want to turn into a roast pig, we'd better not touch the wall. Except for the two walls, you can only move upstream or downstream of the river. Unfortunately, these two roads are not accessible. Although there is no cover in the lower reaches of the lava river, the problem is that the rocks under our feet cannot float that far. Because these rocks are constantly melting in the lava river, it is impossible to stand on them and float downstream. As for going upstream, there is no need to think about this, because there is a lava waterfall not far upstream of our river. The rocks and hot lava beneath our feet all flowed down from there. If you want to cross the waterfall, you are basically courting death. Except for me, probably no one here could wear it.
It is naturally safer to climb up those fixed rocks without leaving here. But don't forget it. We are not here for vacation, we are here to fight. Will Nobunaga and others share rocks with us? Of course not. Therefore, those fixed rocks will definitely become the main battlefield in a while, and there are lava holes on those fixed rocks. This does not mean that it is absolutely safe to stand on them. It can be said that there is no safe place here at all. Not to mention that there are enemies here, even if you are allowed to stay here alone for a while, it is extremely dangerous.
When we saw such a scene, we already thought it was perverted enough, but the system soon let us know what an extreme difficulty scene is. Just when everyone was observing the environment and preparing to start fighting, a strange fish with a body length of more than two meters and an ugly appearance suddenly jumped out of the lava between us. However, what is even more shocking is yet to come. Less than a second after the fish jumped up, a larger fish head suddenly appeared under the lava, and then bit the fish in half in one bite, and then disappeared into the lava again.
"President." Kristina looked at me and shouted, "It looks like my situation is not good!"
Following Kristina's cry, I turned my head and looked at her, only to find that three red dorsal fins appeared near the rocks under her feet and were swirling around her. Apparently there were three terrifying strange fish. Just under the lava, he was ready to pop out and bite her at any time. Originally, with our strength, these fish should not be anything to worry about. But the problem now is that although these fish can't hurt us, they can destroy our balance and make us fall into the lava. No one here except me can survive in the lava. In other words, once the lava is knocked down by these fish, it is equivalent to failure.
Seeing the dorsal fins of the strange fish that kept gathering together, I was about to go over and help Kristina out, but who knew that the system would take action first. Suddenly, a layer of yellow light curtain appeared on the surface of the entire lava river, suppressing all the lava below. Not only did it block the fish, but the rocks under our feet were also immobilized. And the user system said again: "Since the rules have not been read out yet, this system will temporarily turn on the protective light curtain, and then lift it when the rules are read out. Please pay attention to the next adjustments."
Although we were temporarily protected, looking at the strange fish that kept rising and falling under our feet, we felt uneasy at all. But at this time, we can't do anything anyway, we can only listen to the system for any other changes aimed at us.
"Since the player Ziri chose the highest difficulty mission, this system will further strengthen the strength of the Japanese players and weaken the strength of the Ziri side. The specific changes are as follows."
