Volume 19, Chapter 128: Being Attacked

"No. 1 Forest Avenue, the Hell Snake Residential Area, intruders will be killed without mercy. The death toll so far is 77,617." After reading the words on the sign at the entrance of the cave, the ghost turned to me in confusion and asked: " Is this really where the treasure is? Why doesn’t it look like it?”

"This is what is pictured on the map. I don't care if he goes in first to take a look. Anyway, I don't expect to get those treasures, as long as the hell snake really lives here."

After hearing what I said, Ghost and the Queen of Blades had no choice but to follow me and walk inside. The place where this hell snake lives is located in a cave. The exit of the underground cave is a slightly raised hill, with an area of ​​only a few hundred square meters. The highest point is only six to seven meters above the ground, so it is basically not a mountain.

The entrance to the cave is on the side of the mound. The entrance first extends diagonally upward for more than two meters, and then begins to spiral down, just like a spiral staircase. The difference is that there are no steps, only smooth ground. Speaking of smooth floors, though…

"What is this?" Queen of Blades asked as she squatted down and touched the light green jade-like ground on the ground with her hands. Although she is only a constructed creature, because of her special abilities, she also has a sense of touch like ordinary creatures and can feel the texture of different materials.

After the Queen of Blades asked, I smiled and said, "It's best that you don't know."

"What on earth is this? Why don't I know?" Queen of Blades asked in confusion.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Um."

I thought for a while and then said with a smile: "This is the skin secretion of snakes. It's a bit like the mucus on fish. It can lubricate. Even if there are no hell snakes, there are definitely a lot of snakes here. Creatures often pass here, and over the years, a slide composed of solidified slime is formed."

When the Queen of Blades heard that this was the skin secretion of a snake, she quickly shook off everything in her hands. Although she was a constructed creature, her soul was set according to the female gender, and women are very Few people like disgusting things.

Following the passage filled with dried mucus, it spiraled downwards. After at least a few kilometers deep underground, this damn rotating passage finally reached the end. However, the end of the passage is not a cave, but a portal.

"President, shall we enter or not?" They both stopped looking at the portal ghost and the Queen of Blades in front of them. Teleportation gates are different from teleportation arrays. If it is a teleportation array, you can go through it and then come back. But teleporters are classified. In addition to two-way teleporters, most of them are one-way teleporters, which means that you can't come back after you go through them. Therefore, you must not enter a portal like this randomly. If you rush in without being prepared, you may be trapped and die in it. It would be better if you could go home and resurrect after death, but if it were an independent world with an internal resurrection system, you wouldn't be able to get out even if you died. Just like the old Dragon Island, players who were trapped there before it was officially opened couldn't even think of getting out. Even if you die, Dragon Island has its own resurrection hall. You can't resurrect anywhere else, so no one can come out before Dragon Island is officially opened. If this portal is connected to a similar location, and it happens to be a one-way portal, it will be really troublesome.

After a slight hesitation, I decisively decided to go in and take a look. Firstly, the passage here and the signboard outside show that this is not a one-way street. Secondly, even if you enter a closed space, you should be able to get out through some methods. Thirdly, the scroll clearly has people who have been here before. The records left by players indicate that at least someone has left. Since someone can come out, I should be able to come out too, so I don’t need to worry too much. Fourth, and my greatest guarantee, is that I have the Gate of the Earth. If I really encounter an independent space that I can't get out of at all, I can enter the back garden of Mother Earth, and then borrow a passage from her to return to the outside world, so that nothing can seal me off.

Because I was confident, I took the ghost and the Queen of Blades into the portal over there with confidence, but when we came out, we were dumbfounded.

"What's going on?" What appeared in front of us was a passage, and it looked very familiar, because we just came down from this passage. I turned around suddenly and found that the portal behind me was still there. I reached out and tried to make sure it was not a one-way door, and then I checked the passage carefully. After repeated comparisons, I even asked Bailang to come out and smell it, and finally determined that this was the road we just came down.

"Is this a reflection door?" I finally thought about what the thing that looked like a portal was. This is not a teleportation gate, but a reflection gate. Unlike the portal, the reflection portal will not teleport people to anywhere, it will only make you turn around. Suppose the door of your house is a reflective door, and then you stand outside the house, and then you open the door and step through it. If it were an ordinary door, you should step into the house in one step, but the reflective door will let you step back out of the house in one step, and the person will turn around and the door will appear behind you. Of course, this kind of reflective door doesn't just reflect people, it actually reflects everything. For example, if you throw a stone at the door, the stone will fly out the moment it flies into the door, and then it will most likely hit you.

The reason why the reflective door is called a door is because it has the two basic functions of a door - blocking and passing. When the reflective door is activated, it can completely seal the space behind it, because every time you try to pass through the reflective door and enter the space behind it, you will be reflected back, so you will never get through. . Of course, the reflective door is not a wall. It can also allow specific people to pass. Of course, this must be set by the owner of the door.

The Queen of Blades turned around unbelievingly and hit the firing door again, only to emerge from the door again the next second. She was obviously startled when she saw us again, then immediately turned around and got back in. As a result, when she came out again, we were still waiting for her outside the door.

Seeing that she still wanted to continue trying, I simply reminded: "No need to try, you will still be here even if you wear it back and forth ten thousand times. The reflection door cannot be removed by brute force."

"What should we do?" Queen of Blades asked.

"There are many methods, and in our current situation, the simplest method is..." I suddenly pulled out Eternity, and then continued: "Cut it directly."

When I finished speaking the last three words, the sword-shaped eternity had been cut into the launch door by me, and then the originally silver-white reflection door was suddenly covered with water. A black crack was cut out. After cutting it with one sword, I quickly pulled out Eternity and cut it a few times horizontally and vertically. In the end, I cut out a big black hole in the silver-white portal, and other places around it also flashed. Okay. It seems like it will go out at any time.

Looking at a completely different passage exposed behind the big hole, the ghost asked with a little doubt: "President, didn't you say that the reflective door can reflect anything? You How did your sword cut through the door?"

"Eternity is a regular weapon. It has cutting rules and can cut off everything, including space. This reflection door is actually just a variant of the space door. I can even cut through space. Isn't it trivial to break the door by cutting it? Okay? Come on, hurry in, this door has the ability to repair itself, and it will restore itself after a while."

At my urging, the ghost and the Queen of Blades quickly got in, and I quickly followed suit and quickly jumped into the reflective door that was about to be repaired.

The environment behind the reflection door is very different from the slide that came down before. This is not a narrow passage, but a gradually enlarging cave. The cave is full of red, glowing mushrooms, so the cave is much brighter than the passage. Those mushrooms didn't grab my attention, though, because I saw something that caught my attention more.

"Holy shit, is this hell?" Although I have seen a lot of corpses, such a large-scale gathering is still quite shocking. The floor of this cave is actually densely covered with the corpses of various creatures. Among them are large creatures comparable in size to dragons, and small animals less than one meter tall. But without exception, these creatures are now dead. , and the most disgusting thing is that many of them are very rotten, not only smelly but also look extremely disgusting.

The ghost asked me with some uncertainty: "President, is the Hell Snake really a descendant of Nuwa? Nuwa is the God of life! Why do her descendants act like the devil of hell? This place is worse than a slaughterhouse. Is it scary!"

"Nuwa is indeed the God of life, but in addition to giving life, her ability also includes taking away life. The ability of the Hell Snake is specifically to take away life."

"No wonder this ghost place is like a slaughterhouse!" Queen of Blades said and then asked: "Are the ghost and I immune to the attacks of the hell snake? Our life forms seem to be different from ordinary creatures, right? "

"I guess you are probably immune to the Eye of Death's attack, but the Hell Snake is not only capable of this attack, so you still have to be careful. Moreover, I am not sure whether you are immune to the Eye of Death. I just I guess this trick may not be useful to you, but I can’t be sure. So if the Hell Snake uses the Eye of Death on you, it’s best to avoid it if you can.”

"clear."

After talking to Blade and Ghost about the precautions, we continued to move forward, but because the ground was full of disgusting corpses, we all chose to go to the roof of the cave. Fortunately, all three of us have the ability to hang upside down on the cave ceiling, otherwise our whole bodies would feel numb just thinking about dripping through those disgusting corpses.

Move all the way along the roof of the cave to the deepest part of the cave. There is a small hole here that connects to a new cave on the other side. I stretched my head and took a look. Fortunately, it was not as disgusting as here. After crawling through the cave entrance, there is a clean rock cave here, but I don't know why there are no glowing mushrooms here. Fortunately, the three of us have dark vision, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

There is a clear difference between this hole here and the previous one. The previous hole was basically the shape of a root, while the hole here is crescent-shaped, but the entrance we entered is not at the sharp corner of the crescent, but in the middle. There is a large cave space on our left and right sides. The difference is that there is a passage at the bottom of the cave in front of us, which should be connected to other caves.

After confirming that there was no hell snake in the cave here, we touched the entrance of the cave over there, but as soon as we got through, we were dumbfounded.

"Huh?" As soon as we entered the cave, we discovered that it was actually a small cave less than two square meters. It is estimated that some people's toilets are larger than this. There is no way to hide anything in such a big cave, and we confirmed at a glance that this was a dead end. The cave here was a dead end, so we retreated and searched the other half of the crescent moon again, but we found nothing.

"It doesn't make sense?" I stared at the empty cave in a daze.

The ghost asked: "Is it possible that the Hell Snake just went out? You know that some boss-level monsters don't always stay in the nest. Maybe it doesn't matter if he goes out?"

"No." Blade immediately retorted after hearing what the ghost said: "We must have missed something. Don't forget that the Hell Snake is the treasure guard here. Even if the Hell Snake can run away, what about those treasures? The Hell Snake can't take it with him. Did you go for a walk with the treasure?"

Just as Blade finished speaking, Ghost suddenly stumbled back two steps as if someone had slapped him with a stick, and finally sat down on a big rock behind him. But even though he almost fainted, he still shouted: "Be careful, something is attacking me."

With a swish, the blade claws on the hands of the Queen of Blades and I popped out together, but when we looked around, we couldn't see anything. It was not because it was dark, but because there was really nothing that looked offensive. In this entire cave, except for the stalactites above the head and the big rocks on the ground, there is no existence that looks like a living thing at all, so for a while we can only stare at it with weapons raised. , and I don’t know what to attack.

We were looking for a target here, and suddenly we saw the Queen of Blades who was in a defensive posture, as if she had been hit by a bullet, her whole head jerked back, and then she took several steps back before being hit by a stone. He stumbled and sat down on the ground. I found the Queen of Blades falling to the ground. Before I could react, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my head, as if someone had hit my head hard with a stick. In an instant, I felt like there were stars in front of my eyes, and my body also lost its balance. He took a few steps back before holding on to a big rock and narrowly avoiding falling.

"Holy shit, soul shock wave!" After recovering from dizziness, I immediately knew what happened just now. This feeling of having my head smashed by a gun is all too familiar to me. I once made a joke with the princess and made her angry. As a result, she played Soul Shock Wave with me. The feeling at that time was the same as now, but the degree was to a lesser degree. After all, the princess just wanted to take revenge on me and had no intention of killing me. Of course I can't explode with all my strength.

"President, are you okay?" The first attacked ghost over there had already stood up from the ground. In any case, his soul was composed by consuming the soul of a protoss, and its strength is roughly equivalent to the soul strength of a protoss. Coupled with the overload protection ability of the soul carrier itself, theoretically speaking, the ghost and the Queen of Blades The soul defense should be much higher than that of the Gods.

Before I could answer the ghost, I just opened my eyes and saw the ghost tilt its body again, and then fell directly to the ground. It seems that the opponent is still launching attacks, and the battle of souls is obviously not what I am good at.

"Ling, help me!" I just finished shouting when I felt another hit on my head. This time it was obviously more serious than the last time. I collapsed immediately after the hit.

"Ah..." As soon as I fell down, Ling appeared next to me, but she was immediately targeted. However, Ling is also a soul expert after all, and it is not easy for the other party to attack her. As Ling fell to the ground with his hands on his head and screamed, a black object not far to our right also fell to the ground.

Now we finally found our target. What attacked us was a small snake, a super small snake less than twenty centimeters long and no thicker than a finger. However, despite his small size, we did not dare to neglect him at all, because I had already read his identity from the attack prompt - Hell Snake.

To be honest, I never thought that the Hell Snake would be so big, otherwise it wouldn't be missed. This guy has actually been hanging on the stalactite above our heads before. We didn't notice it because it was too small. After all, according to our original idea, the hell snake should be at least dozens of meters long. Guys, who would have thought that this guy is only one chopstick long?

After successfully attacking us continuously, this guy thought that we were easy to deal with. But when Ling appeared, he threw a soul shock wave over without even thinking about it. Unexpectedly, Ling actually had soul reflection ability, and the result was a soul. The shock wave hit Ling and immediately bounced back, stunning the Hell Snake himself. Just like us, after being stunned by the soul shock wave, we will temporarily lose the ability to control the body. As a result, the hell snake hanging on the stalactite fell directly to the ground.

Although Ling lost both sides in the first battle with the Hell Snake, we have an advantage, that is - we have more people.

"Yeyue, Princess, Chili Pepper, Xiaochun, everyone come together."

"Everyone close their eyes." As soon as Xiaochun appeared, he immediately lit up a small sun, and then threw it towards the prison snake, and then nothing could be seen in the entire cave. With our dark vision, we are not afraid no matter how dark it is, but in this over-lit state, it doesn't matter what vision you have.
