Chapter 16 Being Separated

"Don't worry, this place can't be endless, it's just that the fog blocks your sight and makes you feel impatient." I comforted Zhenhong and tried to calm her down, but unfortunately the effect was obviously not good. Zhen Hong has been in a very excited state.

I was persuading Zhenhong, but Christina suddenly stretched out her hand to signal us to be quiet. Both Zhenhong and I looked at her in confusion, not knowing what she meant, but Christina pointed in one direction and said, "Don't you feel it?" ?"

"What do you feel?"

"Energy shock wave. It's like a heartbeat, very rhythmic."

"Why can't I feel it?" Jin Coin asked doubtfully. "Do the rest of you feel it?"

Zhenhong shook his head. "I didn't feel anything anyway."

The gold coin then looked at me. I sensed it carefully and then shook my head and said, "No, I can't feel anything. But just because we can't feel it doesn't mean there is nothing. Christina is the most sensitive to magic fluctuations here. Her senses The scope and intensity are certainly greater than ours.”

"Then what should we do now? Let's go?" Zhenhong asked me.

"Anyway, it's just an aimless search for a target. It's the same wherever we go, right?" Jin Coin said.

I thought it was right, so I simply said to Christina: "Take us there."

Christina nodded and walked directly along her own induction. The death guards on our side also followed the collective turn and continued to form a protective circle around us while we stepped on the mines.

The room we are in is probably a very asymmetrical rectangular room, if you zoom out and look at it. This place is probably more like a corridor, its length is much greater than its width. The position of the wave that Christina sensed was located to our side, so our movement direction changed from vertical to horizontal. As a result, we found a wall before we went far, which meant that we had reached the edge of the room. , if the distance between the left and right sides of this room from the door we enter is the same, then the width of this room is actually less than one thousand meters, and its length is at least five thousand meters. After all, we started from entering We have walked more than five thousand meters, and we still don’t know how far ahead we are.

Although after seeing the wall, I didn't find anything like a door. But if you can see the wall, you at least know that this place is not boundless. So Zhenhong's mood has obviously stabilized.

Jin Coin looked at me and asked: "Should we continue to move forward or retreat in this situation?"

Christina pointed at the wall and said: "If possible, I would like to open a hole here and have a look. That thing is not far away from us."

"Are you sure?" I glanced at Christina and asked.

Christina nodded and said, "Let's take a look if you can."

I nodded and asked the Death Guards on both sides to get out of the way. Then I took out Eternity and pointed it at the wall with a sudden force and stabbed it with my sword.

The walls are not very strong, and the granite body is fairly hard, but it is no better than tofu in the face of eternity. Easily penetrated with one sword. It even made me feel some unusual touches. So much so that I snorted in confusion when I inserted the sword.

Christina heard my voice and asked me in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"It doesn't feel right."

"Is there something hard?" Christina asked.

Jin Coin immediately said to Christina: "What do you think is hard for the boss's eternity?"

Christina thought for a while and nodded: "That's right! President, what do you feel?"

"I don't know. It feels soft and elastic. It doesn't seem to be completely pierced. I can feel a certain resistance, but the thing still has a certain elasticity."

"Why does it sound so disgusting?" Zhen Hong said.

I shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know, it just feels weird. I'll find out after I remove the granite outside."

It didn’t take much effort to cut through the granite. We peeled off a large piece of the surface granite in a few moments, but what was hidden under this layer of granite that was 60 centimeters thick left us a little confused. .

Behind the granite is actually a layer of blue-grey, with a little bit of transparent gel-like stuff. Of course, the thickness of the material in front of you is quite amazing, because it is very soft, and if it is not thick enough, it will be easily destroyed. But in fact, this thing, even my Eternal Sword, is difficult to cause any substantial damage. It's not that my Eternity is not sharp enough, but that this thing is too soft and has no force at all.

Gold Coin went up and tentatively poked it with his Tianzun Sword a few times, but the result was the same as Eternity, completely useless. This thing has high toughness and is extremely soft. The tip of the sword will create a pit when touched lightly, but as soon as you stop holding your hand, it will immediately return to its original state and it will not be able to cut at all.

Christina also came over and felt the thing with her hands, and what surprised us was that she actually pressed her palm into the inside of the thing with one force, and even she was stunned for a moment.

When we heard Christina's voice, we immediately looked over and saw Christina's palm sinking into the gel. But what surprised us even more was that there seemed to be something pulling on Christina in the gel. Na, actually took advantage of Christina's unprepared opportunity to pull half of her body in. When we saw that it was okay, we quickly went to help. Jin Coin and I directly grabbed Christina's exposed body and began to pull it out with force, while Zhenhong simply used the power-injection technique and punched directly on the surface of the soft gel-like substance.

Normally speaking, punching this soft object is of little use, because this thing is soft and will absorb your punching force, so it won't produce much power at all. However, the force-feeding technique is a technique that can control the location of the burst of power. There are many types of boxing techniques that use this technique, among which the most well-known is probably beating a cow across a mountain. This is to beat the cow across the mountain by pouring power into the obstacle, but the power body is holding it in but not releasing it. It is a Kung Fu that does not explode on the target behind the obstacle to form a killing effect until it passes through the obstacle.

The application scope of Guanli can be said to be very wide, and its connotation is far from just sending power a certain distance, because it can also allow you to easily face situations such as the one before you. If you are an ordinary person, as long as you don't know how to apply force, even if you are the reincarnation of Hercules, you will probably be blinded when you encounter something that is so soft and completely powerless, because this thing cannot be handled with great strength. But we are very lucky, because the True Red knows the power-gathering skills, and it is at the master level. Apart from me, in our guild, the only one with the highest level of power-gigming skills is the True Red. And because Zhen Hong’s power is greater than mine. So although her technique is slightly worse than mine, the effect she produces is even better than mine. With a loud bang, the gel-like thing surrounding Christina exploded outwards, and as the gel exploded. Christina and we fell off the wall and rolled into a ball.

Zhenhong didn't care about our side. Because just now she had discovered something more important. An arm actually appeared in the gel that exploded just now. The arm looks like it could be a human hand. At least it used to be, but now the hand is quite rotten and it's obvious that it didn't just fall off a human body. Looking at the decomposition speed, a corpse that has been dead for at least several days can reach this level of decomposition, and it must be in a very hot and humid place to achieve this level of decomposition. It would take at least ten days for it to decompose like this in an ordinary area. It's possible.

It was such a rotten hand that was almost reduced to bones, and it almost pulled Christina into the gel just now. This shows that this hand could still move before, but if it can still move after it is rotten like this, then it can only It could be an undead creature.

"Undead creature?" Zhenhong said with a frown as she looked at the rotten hand on the ground.

I got up from the ground and walked over, squatted down and looked at the hand. After confirming that there was no danger, I reached out and picked it up.

"Why did you catch such a disgusting thing?" Christina shouted immediately when she saw the thing in my hand.

"It's okay, I've seen a lot more disgusting things than this." I said and re-examined the severed hand in my hand, then threw it away and said to Zhenhong and the others: "This thing is very strange, it doesn't feel like an undead spirit." Living things, but with the presence of death.”

"It has death aura but is not an undead creature? Is it an Eastern ghost?" Christina asked.

"I don't know about this. Anyway, this shouldn't be an undead creature."

Zhenhong looked at the big hole opened by herself on the soft wall and said, "It's dark behind here. Do you need to go in and check?"

"It's better to go in and take a look." I said and walked directly to the entrance of the cave and stepped in.

In fact, according to the standard procedure, when encountering such a hole, I should throw lighting magic first, and then the next step is to explore the path with a magic pet or summoned creature, and finally it is my turn to enter, but the current situation is slightly different. Everyone didn’t have much magic power, and we still had a main quest that we hadn’t completed yet, so I was a little more anxious, but something happened in my haste.

It's not a big deal, it's just that the big guy and I... got lost.

Behind the big hole that was blasted just now is an unknown type of space interface. When I drilled through the hole, I actually reached the other side of the passage. Moreover, I don’t know if the hole was one-way, disposable, or something else. The reason is that after I got in, I found myself in the center of Huangshi Village, next to the dry well that we passed through.

Although I know this place, the current situation is quite bad. First, there is no other teleportation port near me, which means I can't use that portal to teleport back in reverse. Second, although I recognized that this was Huangshi Village, I was not sure which Huangshi Village it was.

In fact, this is the third Huangshi Village I have seen so far. The first Yellowstone Village we saw was actually on the normal game map, which was the Yellowstone Village wrapped in thick fog. That can be said to be the starting position of the buff mission. Later, when we jumped from the dry well in the center of Huangshi Village, we arrived at the second Huangshi Village. This Yellowstone Village is already one of the official maps in the buff mission, and we took the mission to destroy the soul collector and infiltrated back. but. Now the third Huangshi Village appeared in front of me.

The difference between No. 3 Huangshi Village and the first two Huangshi Villages is very big. I can recognize it at a glance because it is the only one of the three Huangshi Villages that remains intact.

Both the Huangshi Village that served as the entrance to the mission and the Huangshi Village where you encountered the walking corpses after entering were already half-ruins. Most of the buildings in them had collapsed, and the rest were in tatters, and some only had One or two walls and some roofs are open, but there are no good houses anyway. But now I am in this third Yellowstone village. Although its internal architecture is not that new. But they were all complete, not even a speck of dust could be seen, as if someone had cleaned them.

Of course, although this third Huangshi Village is far superior to the previous two Huangshi Villages in terms of the newness and neatness of the buildings. But I still recognized this at a glance as Huangshi Village. Because the architectural structure and layout of the three villages are all exactly the same. Especially the well in the center of the village. This thing is simply a huge sign telling me that this is Huangshi Village.

After confirming that this place is Huangshi Village, what I want to confirm most is the whereabouts of Christina and Zhenhong. But the result is very worrying, because I tried all the contact methods available except offline, but none of them worked. I couldn't find them at all, and I didn't even know if they followed me into the teleportation channel behind the big hole.

Since I couldn't contact Zhenhong and the others, I had no choice but to act alone.

Holding Eternity in my hand, I carefully walked towards the house of the girl I met when I took on the mission. Since this is the largest house in the village, I am generally more likely to encounter situations. Don't think that encountering a situation is a bad thing. In fact, it is not a bad thing to encounter various situations in this kind of mission that is destined to be dangerous. On the contrary, the worst thing is not to find anything, because that will mean It seems that the entire difficulty of this mission may be concentrated in one or two battles. Such missions are mostly gambling, and the hope of victory is actually very slim. Therefore, not encountering things during the mission is not a good thing, but a bad thing.

The house where the girl was at that time was near the wellhead, not far away, but now this place is much more gorgeous than the house that she encountered when she first took on the mission. The most important thing is that when we took the mission, we met the girl's house. Only half of the house collapsed. Lying on the tatami, you can directly see the sky. It is no exaggeration to say that it is in ruins. However, not only is this house connected to three houses in the front, back, left, and right, but the materials on the surface of the building look very new. There are even gold-plated Jiahui logos and other things in some places, which are incomparable to the previous ruins. .

Although the house is very new, this house does not feel more humane to me than the previous ruins. Although this house is very beautiful, it is full of weirdness, and as I continue to approach, the increasingly strong smell of death in this house clearly tells me that this is not a good place.

Although I can clearly sense the weirdness of this place, it is useless to shrink back. I am already here, how can I be willing to do it without investigating clearly? Besides, I have lost contact with everyone when I fell into Huangshi Village. I can't go back at all unless I investigate the situation here, right?

He carefully moved to the gate. Unlike last time, the gate of the house was closed this time. However, just when I walked to the door and tried to push it, the door suddenly slid to one side. In fact, I came here intending to knock on the door, but when I got to the door, I discovered that the door of the house was made of paper, and it was impossible to knock on it, otherwise there would be a hole in it. But there's no need to worry about it now. The door has already opened by itself. All you have to do is go inside.

The house when I took on the previous mission had no roof, so the brightness was just right, but the house in front of me is new, and the third Huangshi Village itself has lower light intensity than the previous two Huangshi Villages, so It's almost invisible now in the house, and even my dark vision can only make out some rough outlines.

Although the view was not good, this place still had to be entered, so I had no choice but to hold on to Eternity and be cautious while walking forward.

As soon as you enter this room, there is a fan-shaped area. This area is paved with rock floor, which should be a place to change shoes. Behind it is the raised floor with tatami mats, which is at least 20 centimeters higher than the outside of the threshold.

Following the light coming from the door, standing in this fan-shaped area, you can see the general situation in the center of the room. It is now empty, and there is no girl who posted the mission before. Of course, the girl should be in the main world now and should have died, so it is normal that the girl is not found here.

Although the total area of ​​this house is not small when it is in good condition, the characteristic of Japanese architecture is that it can make good use of space. There is no single piece of furniture in the house. Everything is either against the wall or under the tatami. Anyway, it is rare to see such a dense variety of furniture in Chinese homes. Precisely because there was no obstruction from furniture, I relied on my perfect dark vision to confirm that no one existed here just by taking a few casual glances.

"Strange, it's not here!" I couldn't help but mutter to myself after searching all over the house. It is said that triggering the task should be relatively simple! But why is there not even an event that can trigger the task for me?

While I was chanting, before I even walked out of the house, I suddenly felt a chill spreading from my tailbone to my scalp. I instantly tensed up all my muscles, and then slowly turned my head back. I want to see who the owner of this place is. (To be continued...)
