Chapter 505 The Mysterious Shaft

"Did you find anything?" Radamance also came up and asked.

I made a gesture to lower my voice, and then pointed forward. Radamance and Christina immediately lowered their voices, and then followed me and moved forward carefully.

In fact, we don't need to be so careful, because first of all, we have an absolute advantage over the previous group of people in terms of strength. This can be seen from the time when Pandora killed everyone, although the other party almost killed Pandora in the end. Death, but that's because the opponent has something to restrain divine power, but we are not just the gods here. Christina and I, True Red, and Gold Coin are all players, and Hongyan is the guild guardian, and Not affected by that kind of thing. Therefore, we still have the absolute initiative here.

Secondly, no one on our side used torches, that is, there was no light source, and Gold Coin did not worry about taking a sneak talisman for each of us, so under normal circumstances there is no possibility of being discovered on our side. of. Of course, the normal situation I am talking about does not include deliberately exposing the target ourselves.

After carefully approaching the entrance of the passage, we immediately discovered where the other party was. Since they both held torches, they were the only ones in the dark hall that were bright, so they could naturally be seen at a glance. But I didn't pay too much attention to the positions of these people. Instead, I looked at the structure of the hall first.

This hall is actually very huge, much larger than the indoor stadium. The center of the hall is the lowest, and the surrounding circles rise upwards. It looks a bit like the structure of a Colosseum. However, there are many pillars in the center of this hall and some horizontal passages connecting them. It seems that it was not originally a place used to watch beast fighting games. After all, those things might help the creature in the center run into the audience. Of course, it is not ruled out that things like magic ban will be activated when using it.

The entrance to the passage we are in is not on the ground, but in the middle of the wall, which is still more than ten meters above the ground. Coming here, there is a very fast step that extends all the way to a horizontal passage below, and there are stone steps connecting to the ground on that passage, but the entrance is inexplicably broken. It looks like It was destroyed by something.

Because there is a missing step, the nearest step on the opposite side is still more than five meters away from us. It is very difficult for ordinary people to get over this distance, but we are not ordinary people here. And we didn’t plan on going up the steps. The steps are unobstructed on both sides. If you go up, you will be completely exposed to the air. Although it is darker here, we do not rule out the possibility of being discovered.

After looking at the situation over there, I turned back and whispered to them, asking everyone to keep quiet. Then he took the lead and ran to the entrance of the passage and jumped down from here. As soon as the body lost support, it immediately began to fall. And I spread my wings lightly. But it didn't flap. It just relied on the buoyancy of the air to glide and land, and finally landed on the ground below as lightly as a cat. Not a single sound was made.

As soon as I landed, others also landed one after another. Although they used different methods, they were all very quiet. In addition to the protoss, there are high-end players here who have very rich combat experience. Secret infiltration is an important part of combat experience, so we all arrived on the ground very quietly.

After landing, I gestured for everyone to come closer, and then started to move forward first.

To be honest, it is actually quite rare to sneak in a place like this. Mainly because the environment here is relatively bad. First of all, the ground here is not flat, but a multi-step structure with a certain slope, so you need to be careful under your feet. Secondly, this place is full of stone fragments, just like mines, and we will make a sound as long as we touch them slightly. Third, this place is a closed environment. In this environment, the echo will be very strong. In addition, there is no external noise, and the noise intensity here is very low. Therefore, any small sound will be amplified very clearly, so our movements are greatly restricted. However, we were relatively lucky, because the other party's people were digging somewhere in the middle of the hall. The sound of them banging stones is now the loudest noise here, and some of them are talking, so the noise is quite loud, just enough to cover up some of our voices.

Taking advantage of this hidden advantage, we carefully touched the vicinity of the opponent's team, and then began to observe the team.

At first, when I heard Bailang's narration, I thought these people were all NPCs, but when I got closer, I realized that this was actually a team of players, and not only was it not an NPC team, there was not even an NPC among them.

These players are obviously all from the same guild, and the emblems on their bodies prove this very directly. From the type of their dialogue, we can see that these people are actually Korean players. Most of them are Koreans, but among the small group of people who are the leaders, there are two white people and three Japanese. The three Japanese are easy to recognize because they all have Japanese professions, one of them is an onmyoji, there is a ninja and a Japanese samurai. Unsurprisingly, those two white men must be Russians, because there is one guy I seem to have met once before. Although I don’t know his name, he did appear next to the Frozen Banshee, which means that this guy is Ice Seal the Banshee’s men. It is not easy to compare the other white person with the one next to him, because although this person has obvious white characteristics, he still has some characteristics of other races, and it seems that he is most likely to be a mixed race.

These leadership members gathered together to discuss something in low voices and did not participate in the excavation work. In the central place, several Korean players were busy digging holes, but they didn't know what they were digging.

When I first saw these people digging holes there, I was surprised that these people were so stupid that they were digging there. After all, the skills of the players in the game are very powerful, and many of them can be used to open mountains and quarry rocks. Of course, it is very simple to dig a hole in the ground. but. These people didn't use any skills, but simply used the metal tools in their hands to knock around. Not to mention the speed was slow and laborious.

However, I soon realized that there might be something weird on the ground, so I quickly lowered my head and put my hands on the ground. When Christina and the others saw my movements, they also put their hands on the ground and carefully sensed it. They found that the rocks on the ground actually had the effect of shielding magic. If it weren't for the fear of being heard by the other party because we were too close, we would almost have screamed.

Because we didn’t know what the other party was going to do, we didn’t act rashly, but planned to see what they were digging for. Most of these people are enemies anyway, and we expect to dig it out ourselves after killing them. It's better to let them use their remaining heat to help get things out first. Then we grab it again, which is called waiting for work.

Although the opponent's digging method was laborious, the speed was not really slow. In less than twenty minutes, a hole with a diameter of more than one meter was dug out on the ground. There is a large pit at least two meters deep. Then. Just when we were worried that the other party would have to dig for a long time, there was a sudden bang in the big pit below, and then a scream.

Hearing this voice, we immediately cheered up. The other party immediately rushed to the entrance of the hole, and then pulled out a player from inside, while the other guy who went down to dig the hole disappeared.

"What's going on? Where's Jin Er?" After pulling the opponent out, the leader of the Korean players asked the player.

The guy named Jin Er immediately said: "It fell down! We were digging and digging, and suddenly something opened underneath. I held on to the walls of the cave on both sides to keep from falling, but Jin Er fell in before he could react. "

The Korean player was obviously not really worried about that Jin Er. He just wanted to know what was going on below. Hearing that he fell down due to a collapse, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he directly ordered the people around him: "You guys, get down." Look at the situation."

"Yes." Several Korean players quickly walked to the entrance of the cave and put down a triangular derrick, then hung up the pulley and rope, then grabbed the rope and jumped down, while several players were pulling on the other side of the rope.

As the player continued to fall, the player's voice came from below. At first, he was asked to throw a few torches to him, and then he was asked to play with him and throw more torches. After a few seconds, the player shouted: "President, it seems to be very deep down there. Our rope may not be long enough!"

"Then you cut the rope first and fly down to have a look."

"Okay." After the player finished speaking, he began to untie the rope. As soon as he let go of the rope, he screamed and fell down like a weight. The people above were stunned, and then someone reacted Come here, there must be a forbidden area below.

Although I couldn't see the situation in the cave, I could roughly guess what the situation was. There is probably a very deep cave underneath this one, and it's also the kind of cave with a forbidden area. In a place like this, you can only use a rope to lower yourself down. If you want to fly down, it is basically equivalent to jumping directly from the building. Therefore, the previous player was planning to fly down, but ended up committing suicide.

"What should we do now?" Several players nearby looked at the president and asked.

The president of the Korean player was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and then turned to look at the Russian and Japanese players beside him. The two groups of players were also at a loss. In the game, people don’t care about many things that they dare not do or cannot do in reality because there are many ways to do these things in the game, and they are very simple. However, this underground cave is now obviously depriving the players of their abilities to something similar to reality. There is no visible edge around the huge hole, so climbing the wall is completely useless because you can't touch the wall. However, the rope was not long enough and the flight was restricted, so there was no way to descend safely.

Fortunately, these people came prepared. One of the Russian players quickly took out a large bundle of special ropes from his storage space and threw it on the ground for them to replace the original ropes.

In fact, the rope brought by the Korean players was not long enough, but unusable. Rope is not valuable. There are so many Korean players here, so bringing hundreds of kilometers of rope is not a big deal. But the problem is that the rope itself has weight. If you hang a rope vertically, there will be a limit length based on the strength of the rope body and its own weight. If the length exceeds this limit, the rope will pull itself apart due to its own weight. In this case, the longest rope can only reach a certain length. To make the rope longer, you can only consider reducing the weight of the rope or making it high-strength. However, most of the ways to reduce the weight of a rope is to reduce the diameter, and the diameter of the rope is often proportional to the strength, so simply using a thinner rope cannot increase the limit length.

The rope contributed by the Russian player was obviously not an ordinary rope. After the Korean players hurriedly changed the rope, they tied one end to a player and let him jump down, while the person above was pulling the rope. Start slowly lowering the rope and let him go down gradually.

As the player continues to go deeper, the rope above also keeps getting shorter. but. When the rope above was about half way up, those who were pulling the rope suddenly slid forward. Then many people reacted and started to pull back hard, but it seemed that something below was tug-of-war with the people above. . Even though I tried a lot of strength, I still couldn't pull it. And just when the two sides were at a stalemate. Suddenly a bang was heard. It turned out that the tripod used to hang the pulley broke because it could not withstand such a large force.

After the tripod was gone, everyone suddenly tilted backwards, and then fell down together. However, these people quickly stabilized the rope. What's strange is that this time he didn't use much force. Those who had felt the huge pulling force before were a little confused. The leader among them looked at the leader of the Korean players. The other party understood that this person was asking for his opinion, so he shouted: "Pull up."

With this signal, the people behind immediately started to pull up, and soon the rope that was lowered was pulled up, but in the end they only pulled up the rope, and the player was gone. What's even more terrifying is that the break of the rope is not a sharp cutting mark, but an explosion shape, which shows that the rope was broken.

Another person was lost inexplicably, and the Korean players started to get a little confused. However, these people's discipline was relatively good. They just talked in low voices and didn't really do anything.

Christina carefully approached me and said to me in the guild channel: "Guild President, what do you think is down there?"

Gold Coin's voice said on the channel: "Do you still need to guess? It's definitely a monster!"

Christina immediately said: "Of course I know it's a monster, I'm letting you guess what kind of monster it is."

"There are so many monsters in this game, how do I know what they are?" Jin Coin said.

I immediately said: "No matter what kind of monster it is, it will be our turn after eating all these people first. Then we can at least know what kind of thing we are fighting. But I don't think it is a particularly powerful creature." .”

"What?" Christina asked along with the gold coin.

"Because I didn't feel any energy fluctuations."

"Maybe there is a magic restriction in that shaft or something?" Christina asked.

Not to mention, I really forgot about Christina until she woke up. This monster is not directly exposed to us, but is separated by a floor more than two meters thick. The material on the ground is obviously very special, and it is very normal that there are settings on it to isolate energy fluctuations.

"It's hard to say what level it is. But I don't think it's anything smart at least."

"This is true." Christina did not refute.

In fact, everyone can see that if this monster is very smart, it will definitely cut the rope immediately instead of playing tug of war with the person above. In this case, it can only be said that the creatures below have no foresight. They must have bitten or grabbed the target as soon as they found the target. Then when they pulled down, they found that the rope behind them could not be pulled, so they could only Played tug-of-war with the people above. If a person with intelligence sees a rope tied to that person, even if he doesn't cut the rope immediately, he will at least kill the player first and then cut the rope. Anyway, he will definitely not play tug of war with the person above.

Regardless of whether that creature is very smart, we feel that this thing is definitely difficult to deal with, otherwise it wouldn't be so terrifying and kill a player in one go. Since the player who was put down can be used as a vanguard, he will naturally not be the weakest. Cannon fodder is used on the battlefield. In this kind of exploration mission, the person in the front is either the strongest combatant or the master of agency or pathfinding. Anyway, it is not an ordinary person, so the person below has no reaction or any signal. Being attacked immediately after sending it out only shows that the creatures below are very powerful. They killed the player in an instant, without even leaving a chance for him to send a signal to wake up the people above.

Because this man's death was obviously not an accident, but something attacked him again, there were some disagreements over the selection of the next person to enter. After all, no one here is stupid, and no one wants to hang a monster, right? However, these Korean players have not yet come to a conclusion. Instead, the samurai among the three Japanese players suddenly stood up and volunteered to go down the well. Not to mention, Bushido is sometimes useful. At least the Japanese never lacked suicide squads.

"How long do you think that guy can last?" It didn't matter to us, we made a bet among the Japanese players who were watching the man go down the well. Anyway, it didn't make any difference to us whether he died or not. Unfortunately, the results came out before we could even place our bets, because the monster had obviously climbed up. That day, as soon as the player was put down, maybe less than five meters away, he suddenly screamed, and then the rope broke.

"Damn, you can hold on for two more seconds!" (To be continued...)
