Chapter 4 The Famous Cheating Mission in Iceland

Seeing the giant beast rushing towards him, Lucky was not timid at all. Instead, he lowered his head and swooped down towards the thing. Then the two giant beasts collided with each other and rolled in the air without any intention of confronting each other. While fighting, he fell to the ground.

"What's going on? Why is that thing attacking us?" A player in the Wiki team asked in panic.

I didn't answer his question because I wasn't sure exactly why, but I might know something, but I wasn't sure. After thinking about it, I turned around and told Vicky that they should not move yet. Then I summoned Ling and Jingjing to let them guard here, and then I jumped out.

Unable to maintain balance due to being entangled together, although the two giant beasts could fly, they were falling rapidly at this time. After I jumped down, I caught up with them as quickly as possible without opening my wings. Instead, I pressed my limbs close to my body and lowered my mask to reduce wind resistance. My whole body rushed towards the ground at high speed like a discharged cannonball.

Although the two giant beasts were temporarily unable to use their wings to fly, they could slow them down to a certain extent, so I quickly caught up with them. Just before contact, I suddenly opened my wings and slowed down, and then I landed directly on the back of the giant beast.

The thing was fighting with Lucky at this time. Both sides wanted to bite each other, but they were blocked by the other's head. The claws of both sides were also tearing and scratching at each other, but it seemed that the thing and the giant were trying to bite each other. The scales on the dragon's body can actually block the dragon's claws, but its claws don't seem to be able to hurt Lucky, so the claws of both sides scratched each other with sparks flying around, but there was no real damage at all.

Although I smashed the guy's back with a lot of force, the two giant beasts were so fierce that they had no time to care about my existence, so the monster had no intention of dealing with me. But it has no time to care about me, and I won't show mercy to it. He stepped on the guy's neck and rushed all the way to his head, then turned Eternity over and stabbed the sword in the back of the guy's head where it connected to his neck. Even though this guy's scales are comparable to dragon scales, they are still not much stronger than window paper in the face of eternity, and he was easily penetrated by my sword.

The giant beast that was fighting didn't expect that I could cause such a big attack damage. For a moment, it opened its mouth and roared in pain. Lucky saw the opportunity and bit the guy's neck and twisted it as hard as he could. My muscles tried to resist Lucky's power, but I grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled hard. The wound was cut instantly. The strength on the guy's neck immediately dropped a lot. Lucky took advantage of the situation and twisted it hard, and only heard a click of the guy's neck. The head was directly twisted to an abnormal angle, and its resistance disappeared instantly. The huge body completely lost its strength and fell rapidly to the ground.

I held Eternity and kicked off the guy's body, then spread my wings and flew up. Fortunately, I opened my wings and broke away from it. The monster's body flipped and fell in the air without anyone paying attention, and finally hit the ground with a loud bang, crushing a large area of ​​the forest and causing many small creatures to flee.

When I saw the thing landing, I ignored it and flew towards Lucky. Then I grabbed Lucky's horns and climbed onto his head. Then Lucky started to flap its wings vigorously and flew towards the crack in the passage above. Taking advantage of Lucky's climb, I looked at the attributes of the creature I just obtained in the battle, and found that the attack power of this thing seemed to be only slightly lower than Lucky, but its defense seemed to be slightly higher than Lucky's. I just don’t know if this thing can do magic. If it can do magic and its intelligence is okay, then the combat power of this thing can basically be on par with the dragon.

Wiki and the others also saw us kill the creature in the sky. When we flew up again, Ling and Jingjing each took one person to fly first, and then the two players in the team with flying ability also used their flying ability. After flying up, the remaining three people jumped out directly from the entrance of the passage. I flew up to catch Vicky, and Lucky held the other two with one claw.

After everyone caught it, we started flying down. After the previous passage broke, it was not just as simple as a crack. Instead, a long section in the middle collapsed and fell into the underground world below. Because the collapsed area was very long, the opposite We need to search carefully to confirm where the entrance is. However, according to their description on the Wiki, the original passage should be relatively straight with no curvature at the base, so we can find the entrance as long as we follow the original direction. This saved us a lot of trouble. Of course, traveling such a long distance on the ground is not that safe. At least judging from the previous creature, there are not only many creatures here, but also quite powerful. Although it is not a problem for me, it is not a problem for Wiki and others. It is a very difficult existence to say.

Like the flying creature just now, the reason why Lucky and I killed it so easily is because we can both fly, and secondly because Lucky’s strength is not inferior to that creature at all, and he can also suppress the opponent in terms of strength. And my eternity has a bug-like ability to break defenses, so it seems so easy. But if you think about it from another angle, if Wiki and the others face this thing, only two people can fly, and they still rely on props to barely fly. Such a team is almost waiting to be tortured when encountering an aerial unit. In reality, it is not unreasonable to call for air supremacy whenever a war breaks out. Even if other attributes are exactly the same, the combat effectiveness of flying units will be at least 30% higher than that of non-flying units.

I don’t know if the creature that fell to the ground made too much noise. We didn’t seem to find any creatures after we landed on the ground. They were probably all scared away.

We started to move forward according to the direction of the passage above our heads, and we were always paying attention to whether there was a passage opening above our heads. However, according to Wiki and others, the possibility of this passage opening on the ground was higher. The reason for such speculation is mainly due to the angle of the channel. According to them, the previous break in the passage was a place where the same passage changed direction, but instead of turning left and right, the passage began to turn into a large-angle rural slope. So, if calculated according to this tilt angle, if we advance seven or eight kilometers and still cannot see the passage entrance, then the passage entrance should be at a height similar to where we are standing now.

In fact, the ground in this underground world is not completely flat. In the direction we are going, the ground is gradually rising, while the ceiling above our heads is swooping down, so the height difference becomes smaller as we go forward, which is convenient for us. Looking for the entrance.

Although the terrain is very good and suitable for finding the entrance, I soon understood why Wiki and the others did not dare to come down to find the entrance. Although they themselves said it was because they didn't have the ability to dig into the soil, in my opinion the bigger reason might be that they couldn't deal with the monsters here.

Although the monsters around where we landed just now were scared away by the falling beast, as we gradually moved forward and away from that area, the number of monsters around us began to increase significantly. In addition to the surprisingly large number, the monsters here also have three characteristics: first, they are extremely aggressive and will almost attack any non-kind creature they see without hesitation; second, the creatures here are either extremely powerful individually, or they are... Appearing in groups, low-level creatures cannot survive here; thirdly, the experience value of the creatures here is extremely low. It is difficult to defeat them, not to mention the fact that they have less experience. A creature with a level of 1,200 is much better than a creature with a level of 1,400 or 500. They are all difficult to defeat, but their experience value is similar to that of level 1,000 players. Naturally, no one wants to mess with such a thankless beast, but one or two of these guys are like being cursed with violence. When they see something moving, they immediately pounce on them and attack them with all their might, without stopping.

Less than two kilometers along the road under the jungle, we encountered at least three waves of Warcraft attacks. In one of them, a large Warcraft almost dragged away a Wiki team member, which made me dare not pretend to be 13 anymore. A bunch of magic pets were surrounding me, and the desperate monsters rushed into the encirclement a few times. Fortunately, I kept a reserve team in the team after releasing a large number of magic pets, so there were no adverse consequences.

"Are all the Warcraft here taking stimulants?" After continuing for a while, a male player in the Wiki team couldn't help but complain after we successfully killed the fifth wave of Warcraft.

Vicki didn't show any nervousness about this, but just calmed the team members' emotions. Obviously, as the captain, he had a much better psychological quality than the team members.

It’s not dangerous, but it’s extremely frustrating. After finishing the tenth batch of Warcraft, we finally moved forward to a place six kilometers away from the landing location, and here we finally saw the disconnected entrance, but...

"What should we do?" They were all dumbfounded as they looked at the entrance that had turned into a waterfall.

This entrance should have been connected to the entrance we came down from through a collapsed underground pipe, which means that the previous pipe was sealed, and the lava tube usually has a lot of pressure due to its own temperature. This pressure is enough to resist the pressure of sea water. However, now that the pipe has burst, the pressure is no longer there. Since the other outlet of this inlet pipe is on the sea floor, that means this thing leads to the sea, and now the pipe is connected to the underground world, and the underground world does not have enough pressure to seal the sea water outside, so the original lava tube It became the current waterfall. A huge water column with a diameter of ten meters gushes out from the entrance. From time to time, you can see some fish and even large aquatic monsters flying out of the water column, and where the water column lands is a large ocean. Judging from the messy plants around, this place turned out not to be a water world, but it was now submerged. But fortunately, there is an underground river next to it, and its width is not low. The water accumulated here will flow into that river after it covers a certain distance, and it seems that the river is also running water, and there are other outlets. , so the influx of seawater did not flood the underground world. Of course, considering the size of this underground world, it would take at least several months for this water column to fill it, so even without this river, there would be no problems in a short time.

Although the creatures in this underground world are extremely ferocious, these violent monsters are not opposed to getting something for nothing. At this time, many large monsters gathered in the jungle that was washed away by the sea, and they were fishing here.

The resistance ability of marine creatures sucked into the shallow water plummets in this shallow water area, and they are no match for these large monsters. Some of the unlucky ones have already fainted when they are washed out by the water flow. After all, the speed of the water flow in the pipe is very fast. Come on, back and forth collisions are definitely inevitable, and the larger the creature, the greater the impact it will receive. Therefore, if the creature that falls is either stunned by the impact or exhausted from struggling. Coupled with the fact that the water is shallow and cannot be used, the marine life base here can only wait to die.

We don't care about the fate of these creatures, but the terrifying water column can fly forward for more than a hundred meters after it sprays out from the mouth of the pipe before starting to fall. From this you can see how high the water pressure is. If you want to use such a channel, It is basically impossible to get in and swim upstream. Besides, we are not salmon in a hurry to spawn, but we do not have the courage to fight the river desperately.

Carefully avoiding the swarm of monsters vying for fish, we walked directly under the water column. Although this is a water outlet, the water pressure is too high and the water jets fly out. There is no water here, and naturally there are no fish, so none of the monsters come.

Looking at the water outlet hanging above our heads, sixty or seventy meters away from us, we all frowned. It's not really impossible to pass through the water, at least I can definitely get by. It's amazing to activate the Divine Realm Fusion. In that attribute mode, even if the water pressure doubles again, I can still pass through. The problem is that it consumes too much, and Wikipedia and the others can’t afford it!

"President Ziri, do you have a way to get through? I think we probably won't be able to get through the water. Even if you have a way to pull us forward, we certainly can't stop the water pressure!"

Hearing Wiki's question, I frowned and started thinking, but after only hesitating for a short while, an idea suddenly came to me.

"Yes. Vicky, how far is it from the entrance to the sea?"

"About three or four kilometers. What's wrong?" After hearing that I had a solution, several people gathered around me and wanted to hear my solution.

In their expectant eyes, I smiled and said: "If it's only three or four kilometers, it'll be no problem." I pointed to the water outlet and said: "The water flow at that water outlet is too fast, we will definitely not be able to get through it, even if we can In the past, the price paid was too high. So I thought, instead of studying how to force through that water flow, it is better to open another way. As long as we drill a hole next to the water outlet, and then follow the underground pipe all the way forward Dig. The noise generated by the water flow in the pipe can help us determine its location. As long as we don't leave the main pipe too far, we don't have to worry about finding the way to the exit."

They were not immediately relieved after hearing my explanation, but were even more worried. One of the female players asked: "President Ziri, there are two problems with your method. I wonder if you have noticed?"

"Problem? What problem?"

"First of all, it is not that simple to open a three-kilometer-long passage. Are you sure we have that kind of excavation capability?"

I nodded and said: "I have a magic pet that specializes in underground activities. The normal digging speed is probably slightly faster than the walking speed of a normal person. It can dig more than three kilometers in an hour. If he digs with all his strength, the speed can be even faster. quick."

After hearing this, the female player immediately said: "But there is still a problem we need to solve. After we dig to the seabed over there, once we dig through the last layer of rock wall to connect to the seabed, the channel we just dug will It will become a waterway like that. The high pressure on the seabed will quickly cause the surrounding seawater to rush into the pipe and wash us all back. Moreover, even if we can fix ourselves in advance and not be washed away, the high-speed inflow of seawater into the pipe will form a formation at the entrance. Big whirlpool, we can’t escape from that whirlpool, right?”

"I've thought about this too." I said without worry: "I don't have just one digging pet. We can delay it a little longer. Instead of digging a straight channel, dig out a spiral like a spring. channel, and every time we excavate a section, we go back and fill up the back. In this way, after we dig out the seabed, although seawater will pour in, there will be no water flow. After a small section of the connected channel is filled, there will naturally be no more water flow. It’s generated, and we don’t have to fight the vortex at all.”

The players around me immediately felt relieved when they heard my explanation, because although my method is simple, as long as you think about it, you will know that it is absolutely effective. Of course, this method can only be used in the game, but it is definitely impossible in reality, because the water pressure on the seabed is too terrifying. When the channel is connected to the outside sea water, the incoming water pressure will drive the gravel like a cannonball. Generally speaking, not to mention that there are not many diving suits that can withstand the pressure of the deep sea in reality. Even a submarine will definitely not be able to withstand the stones pushed by the sea water.

But we don't have to worry about this because we are in the game. In the game, players can enter the underwater scene map to increase the fun of the game, so the problem of water pressure is ignored. As long as you have armor or magic to resist water pressure, you don’t have to worry about the pressure of the deep sea, not to mention those rocks and so on. Worried. With my defense power, I can easily withstand it with a shield, so the impact of rocks is not a problem for us at all.

After we thought of the solution, we immediately started executing it. However, some preparations need to be done before digging the tunnel. The water outlet is sixty or seventy meters above our heads, not on the ground. Although the pioneer is very good at digging, he can't fly, so we have to go up and dig a deep enough hole first. At the very least, the pioneer can tuck himself into the rock, otherwise we can't start digging at all. ah.

It wouldn't be a big problem if we just made a hole in the rock. Many of us here can do it. However, considering that there is a high-pressure water pipe next to it and this is an underground world, we are worried that too much vibration will cause the rock formation to break. The previous collapse here means that the rock formation is already unstable. If we act recklessly, we may completely break the rock formation, so we must find a gentler excavation method.

If you can't excavate violently, you can only use corrosion methods. Compared to relying directly on brute force or blasting, although the corrosion rate is slower, the movement is minimal. However, even the problem of slow speed does not exist here. Yin Ling's god-level darkness corrodes rocks at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye. Ling pressed her hand against the wall. In less than a second, the rocks around her palm began to turn black and then pulverized, while the surrounding black area continued to spread to the surrounding area.

As the black area spreads, a large black area soon appeared on the wall, and a second or two after it turned black, that area would begin to powder and fall, and the position where Ling's hand directly touched It has already sunk a large piece inwards. As the rock gradually dented, Ling began to move inward, and the black area continued to expand forward. Soon Ling's entire body disappeared on the stone wall, and behind her was a three-meter-diameter hole. There are many big holes, and the edges of the big holes are still brown, and sometimes debris will fall down. It is obvious that the corrosion has not completely stopped, but has just slowed down.

Wiki and others looked at Ling's movements as if they were seeing God. Of course, I am talking about God in reality. Jehovah in the game is just a wanderer, wandering around within the sphere of influence of the Holy See. He is the most uneasy. One of the group of gods.

"Um, President Ziri, is the demon pet that you are talking about that can pierce holes the same as this female demon?" asked a team member.

Of course I shook my head in denial, and the other party immediately asked me how she could dig holes so quickly. I had to answer him: "This is one of my most powerful demon pets. He is an all-rounder. He can do anything. The magic of the hole is called dark erosion. It is a kind of black magic. It is offensive. It is mainly used to kill people instead of digging holes. You may think that the digging speed is fast, but it will not last long. Only my magic pet has enough magic power. , if you learn this magic, your magic power will be at its bottom within six or seven seconds at most, so you can only use it temporarily and hope that it will not work if you rely on it to open a way."

"But this is pretty awesome." Vicky said, "At least no one here has this kind of speed."

"You're just not good at it."

As soon as we finished talking, we saw Ling flying out of the hole above. Then she didn't come down. She pointed at the hole and a space crack appeared directly at the hole. The pioneers followed the hole and drilled into the newly dug hole. The cave, and then the moment his head touched the rock in front, his speed began to accelerate suddenly, and the huge body drilled into the cave in front of him in the blink of an eye and went all the way deep.

The pioneers dug underground and relied on a magic rather than a physical method. Those creatures that can dig holes are relatively small creatures. Large creatures encounter too much resistance underground and cannot move forward by digging holes. The pioneer's ability is completely magical. There is a constant on his head. In other words, it is a mud spell, and it is many times faster than the magicians. The magic power consumption is also much lower. After all, people with such a skill are naturally much more specialized than those magicians who can do everything.

As the pioneers went deep into the rock wall, I directly asked Lucky to send Wiki and the others to the entrance of the cave one by one, and then I followed them in to retrieve Lucky and their magic pets and started walking forward along the cave dug by the pioneers.

According to my previous plan, the channel cannot be dug in a straight line and needs to advance in a spiral. Otherwise, even if we block the channel at the back, the newly filled channel will be forcibly penetrated by water pressure due to the unstable structure of the newly filled channel. In contrast, spiral Due to the different load-bearing methods of the shape structure, there is no need to worry about this problem. However, we originally planned to dig a hole on one side of the main channel, but later the pioneers felt that digging would go astray, so they simply dug in a circle around the main channel that had already entered the water. The benefits of this are obvious, because the main channel is right next to the main channel. Being surrounded by the spiral of the channel we dug can ensure that there will be no problems with our direction.

Wiki and the others only know the route leading to Duludu after exiting the main passage. If we deviate too far and cannot find the exit of the main passage, Wiki and the others will not be able to find Duludu City according to the markers they know.

The underground distance of more than three kilometers could be dug through at the speed of the pioneers in up to an hour. However, since we were digging a spiral tunnel, the speed was naturally much slower. In the end, it took us an hour and a half to dig to the exit. .

Because the Trailblazer is very sensitive to ground vibrations, the Trailblazer felt the vibration caused by the vortex at the exit before we approached the exit. This vibration was transmitted along the rocks into the channel, which also proved that we were not far from the exit.

In order not to be sucked back by the vortex at the entrance of the main passage, after confirming that we were almost at the exit, we began to dig horizontally for a distance away from the exit, and then opened the passage here after sealing the previous passage.

When the sea water poured in, the impact was indeed quite large, but I placed two magic shields in front of it. Although the sea water defeated them, the impact force also dropped a lot. As for the water pressure, this is not a big problem due to the system settings. .

After the seawater completely filled the last remaining section of our passage, we immediately felt a huge pressure on our bodies. The game only reduces the impact of pressure on the human body. In addition, the players' physical attributes are much stronger than in reality, so they can move in the deep sea. However, the pressure will still be reflected on the human body, that is, if you dive too deep, Deep, you will still feel suffocated, and the quality of your equipment and the amount of personal magic power are directly related to your ultimate diving depth. After all, warriors rely on armor for diving, and mages and other professions without armor rely on magic power to support their diving. Anti-stress barrier, so it doesn’t mean that everyone can go to the bottom of the deep sea.

The depth of the place we are now is obviously not low, but it is not high enough to kill people. At least Wiki and the others did not die even though they looked uncomfortable, which shows that the water pressure is still within the tolerable range.

After the water flow stabilized, I was the first to get out of the channel and check the situation outside.

Because this place is deep sea, it is completely dark underwater, but I have perfect night vision, so this has no effect on me. In my sight, the surrounding seawater seemed unusually clear, and marine creatures of all sizes were swimming nearby, far or near. Compared with reality, the seabed in the game is obviously more vibrant. After observing several deep-sea species nearby that looked like alien creatures for a while, I moved my eyes to the main channel.

Just as we guessed before, there is a thick underwater tornado, or a large whirlpool, located above the main channel. But what is more reassuring is that the whirlpool is relatively far away from us. Although we can clearly feel the water flowing in that direction from the exit position, the impact is not great. If we pay a little attention, we will not be sucked in. In fact, the main power of the vortex is concentrated at the top of it, which is the central circle. If we are above it, let alone the distance of only more than a hundred meters, we will definitely be sucked in even if we stand a thousand meters away. past.

After confirming that there was no danger outside, I turned around and waved, and then Vicki and the others immediately followed me and filed out. However, after they came out, their eyes were completely dark and they could not see anything.

Although underwater maps are available in "Zero", the difficulty of such maps is generally relatively high, and the investment cost is not small. Firstly, you need to resist the resistance of water underwater. Secondly, underwater monsters are aquatic creatures. They are more adaptable to the underwater environment. After the player enters the water, the combat effectiveness will plummet. After all, even if the system does not set the murderous underwater pressure, the buoyancy will cause The problem of body balance is enough for players to have a headache. The underwater map in "Zero" is not the kind of copycat underwater map in other games where you stand on the seabed and fight. The underwater map here is a real water environment, just like you are underwater in reality, except Except that you can use magic to solve breathing and pressure problems, everything else in the game is no different from reality. Of course, while the difficulty is high, the experience value of monsters in underwater maps is generally three to four times higher than that on the ground, and the density is high, and they also produce a lot of valuable materials. This is the main reason for attracting players to go into the water, and it can also be regarded as a kind of compensation. After all, If such a difficult map was the same as the ground, who would come down?

In fact, in addition to the problem of body balance caused by buoyancy and the problem of movement deceleration caused by water resistance, underwater maps also have a very serious problem - visibility.

Although there is no environmental pollution in the game, and the water in various underwater maps is very clear, no matter how clear the water is, it cannot be as transparent as the air, so in the underwater environment, people's visual range will be greatly affected. Of course, some people would say that sound becomes very useful underwater because sound travels farther underwater than in the air. However, although sound is very effective underwater, it is almost impossible for players to take advantage of it.

If you have ever put your head underwater while swimming and listened carefully to the sounds under the water, you will find that there is no way for people to distinguish the direction of the sound through the sound underwater. The reason why human ears can confirm the direction of sound is because we have two ears. Our brain will perform triangulation positioning based on the order and intensity of the sounds received by the two ears, so that the target sound source can be confirmed. approximate location. This ability to triangulate sound is an ability that all mammals have. It is an ability that our mammals have evolved during the long-term evolution process. However, this ability has evolved based on the atmospheric environment. . During the triangulation process, our brains will perform some special operations. This operation is completed by some neural units solidified in our brains. This is like a hardware decoder that can adjust the intensity of the sound input from both ears. and the time difference to calculate the target orientation, but the calculation units are fixed and cannot be changed at all.

When we are in the air, the propagation speed of sound is roughly fixed, and the range of change is very small, and the attenuation speed of sound when it propagates in the air is also roughly fixed. The decoding area in our brain has these two fixed data, so it can be brought into the calculation to get the final accurate answer. However, the speed of sound propagation in water is different from that in air, and the attenuation rate of sound waves in water is also different from that in air. However, the decoding area in our brain that is responsible for calculating this thing is a fixed system and cannot be changed. Therefore, it uses the speed and attenuation rate of sound waves in the air to calculate. The final result is a bunch of messy data. , not only can't confirm the direction, you can't even accurately determine the type of sound.

Black dolphins have the ability to locate underwater sonar because they have evolved for many years and adjusted the sound positioning calculation system inside their brains from generation to generation. Then they have two sets of data areas, so they can rely on sound underwater. To locate the target, and even if we can emit ultrasonic waves and hear the echoes like dolphins, our brains cannot interpret the data at all, so we cannot rely on underwater sounds for positioning, let alone It fought.

When Vicki and the others climbed up, the surroundings were pitch black and there was no sound reference, so now they were as if they were deaf and blind, unable to see anything. But since they have been here before, they are naturally well prepared. A player in the team suddenly folded his hands in front of him, then separated them. Then he pushed forward with one hand, and the palms of his hands suddenly lit up like two flashlights. The powerful light beam was very dazzling, and the light reflected from the seawater around his palm was already very dazzling. However, although the light in the distance was extremely dazzling, the light beam did not spread very far. Even though the depth of the seawater here is not as exaggerated as the Mariana Trench, it is not shallow either, so the propagation distance of light here is greatly limited. The transmitted light beam can only illuminate a place seven or eight meters away. , there is still darkness further away. However, although the distance is not very far, the impact is not big. Anyway, we are just looking for road signs. As for fighting and other things, it is not a problem at all with me. My field of vision is not affected by darkness. In a place like this, I have a field of vision of at least five hundred meters. I believe that the aquatic monsters here may not have as wide a field of vision as I do.

Because we are not at the original exit of the passage, we have to find the nearby signs first to find the way. However, we cannot enter the original exit, otherwise the suction of the vortex will become stronger and stronger, and eventually we will be sucked in. go back. Fortunately, according to Wiki's description, there is an obvious ravine ahead of the exit. If you follow that, you can see the first road sign. Although Wiki and others only have a sight range of seven meters, I have a sight range of five hundred meters. The range of sight allowed me to see the ditch from a distance, and then I guided Vicky to avoid the whirlpool and walk into the ditch.

This ditch is actually not very deep, probably only a little more than one meter, but because the surrounding ground is flat, it is more conspicuous here. After entering the ditch, Vicky began to walk forward along the ditch, while I walked on the ground outside the ditch. Vicky's teammates were also following me. Anyway, as long as they don't leave this small ditch, they won't walk. Wrong direction.

Less than five hundred meters along this gully, the gully began to gradually become shallower, and finally it was completely level with the surrounding ground and was no longer visible. But we don't need it when we get here, because I have already seen the so-called road sign ahead.

That road sign is actually a search for a sunken ship, no, it should be said to be part of a sunken ship. This is a section of the hull of a wooden sailboat. The head and tail are missing, only the middle section is missing, and a large piece is missing. I jokingly asked Wiki if they had found pirate treasures on the ship when they first came here. As a result, several players in Wiki's team who relied on spells to resist water pressure without masks looked at me with weird expressions. The other people's expressions couldn't be seen because of their helmets, but seeing them looking at me, I knew their expressions should be the same as everyone else's.

"What's wrong? There's something wrong with this ship?"

After a moment of silence, Wiki said: "There is indeed pirate treasure in the ship, but the players have more treasure."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

A young player who was following Wiki said quickly: "Last time we went treasure hunting, we were robbed. Everyone lost two of their best pieces of equipment, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get through that fault. "

"Robbery?" When I heard this word, I immediately became interested. "Are there other players here?"

The same fast-talking young player said: "There are indeed players, but the ones who robbed us were not players but NPCs. This ship is a famous mission location, and there is a large group of undead pirates living in the ship. They don't know how to rob us." We posted a mission over there, asking players to come here to hunt for treasures. As a result, not only were the players unable to take away the treasures, they also had to leave behind two of their best pieces of equipment, otherwise their souls would be sucked by those guys. Oh, that soul sucker The effect is to permanently reduce one-fifth of your mental power, one-sixth of your strength, and one-sixth of your physique."

"Damn it, isn't this account useless?"

"So the players who were cheated chose to throw away the two best pieces of equipment to redeem themselves. As time went by, there were more and more good things here, but most of the players outside also knew that this was a cheating mission, so except for those from other places, None of us except the unlucky ones will accept this mission."

"Then you still dig in?"

Another player sighed: "It's because everyone knows that this mission is a scam, so no one comes. We have never taken this mission before. We just know that this mission is a scam, so we don't take it. But if you don't accept the mission, you won't take it." Knowing the specific location of the ship, no one wanted to come anyway, and no one would deliberately inquire about it. When we first saw the ship, we did not expect that it was the ship in that mission. We only wanted to come after we were captured. This turned out to be the ship in that mission, but unfortunately it was too late to regret it at that time!"

Although what they said was quite miserable, I didn’t know why but I just felt like laughing after listening to it. Sure enough, people’s happiness should be based on the pain of others?

Although I wanted to laugh, I also knew that it would be rude to laugh at this time, so I had to change the subject and asked: "Are the undead pirates you met here very powerful? You can't even play with so many people accepting missions?"

Vicky nodded, then shook her head, and finally said: "I don't know if they are great. Or it can be said that these guys are not very good. The key is that the ship is a bit weird."

"Weird?"

"Yeah. It's just weird. Although the ship we saw outside is only a small section, as soon as you step in, you will immediately find yourself entering a ship sailing on the sea. There are many pirates on that ship , they were plundering a merchant ship, but as soon as they stopped the confrontation, they found a large group of warships approaching. Then the captain of the pirate ship you were on ordered to rob the merchant ship first and then run away. In the end, although a full ship was robbed treasure, but was unable to escape due to wasted time and was surrounded. Although the pirate ship resisted fiercely, it was eventually sunk, and you will also sink to the bottom of the sea with the ship. Whether you can fly or can It's useless to swim, even if you fly away from the ship as soon as you find yourself on the ship, as soon as it sinks you will automatically return to the ship and sink to the bottom of the sea, and then you will see the pirates die and become Become an undead. Only then will the scene you see outside appear, but the undead pirates inside will ask you to let them suck souls, or leave the two most valuable items on your body. If you don't agree, the previous naval battle It will appear in a loop, and they will ask you once after every shipwreck, and you can't run away as long as you don't agree. Players who took on the task before have tried almost all methods, and some people have looped it 200 times in a row, which took two days. After several weeks, he finally compromised and handed over his equipment and was released."

"From what you said, it sounds like it's a mental environment?"

Wiki shook his head and said: "Some people on our side also speculated like this before, but then a spiritual mage took over this task. It turned out that it was not a spiritual environment. There were also people who killed all the undead pirates on the ship, but the result was still the same. , when the illusion starts to cycle, the pirates will appear again, and then die again and become undead. Anyway, if you don’t hand over the equipment, your soul will be sucked, otherwise you won’t be able to figure it out.”

"Sounds like a cheating mission." I sighed at first, and then asked: "But are there really a lot of equipment and treasures there? And what is the reward for this mission?"

Vicky jumped up in shock as soon as she heard my question, and then asked me in a trembling voice: "You are not going in, are you?"
