Chapter 20 The Ghost Alliance’s Nest

Dozens of these things spewed out from upstream and downstream of the river, and there were sounds in the distance that kept gathering here. "Looks like I stabbed someone in their lair." I summoned the Pioneer. "Luckily, you go back first, and the pioneers will dig over there quickly."

The pioneers quickly found a softer place and started digging downward. They continued to dig deeper for more than ten meters before starting to move laterally. I took back my luck and jumped down into the hole. The pioneer took me across the bottom of the river and continued moving forward. I placed a bunch of bombs at the bottom of the river. If the monsters catch up, at least this will stop them for a while.

After running for a long time, the monster didn't catch up, so it was probably safe. I asked the pioneer to start digging diagonally upward, but the pioneer stopped just after digging for less than a hundred meters.

"What happened this time?" I patted the pioneer's tail and asked him to move aside. After the Blazers got out of the way, there was another hole in front. rb There is a lot of volcanic activity in this place, and the underground volcanic veins often produce a large number of bubbles when they flow. After the magma solidifies, such holes will be left. In fact, it is very dangerous to be in a place like this. The underground cave is the gas emitted from the volcano. This is not air, but hydrogen sulfide. If my mask could not provide backup oxygen and filtering function, I would have been smoked to death.

This hole, like the previous hole, is a completely sealed underground space. I asked the pioneers to ignore these holes and just go forward and upward, digging to the ground first. After traveling so far, they were already out of the search circle of Nobunaga. After receiving the order, the pioneers stopped closing the holes and drilled forward.

By the way, Ghost Hand Nobunaga's encirclement and suppression failed. He thought I escaped using the teleportation scroll, so he ran back with his troops. There is a small city not far from the forest. This place is a player city. Many people don't know how it was established because its establishment is very secret. This city is actually the location of Nobunaga's guild headquarters, but few people know it. Nobunaga's thoughts were completely different from those of Masamoto Matsumoto. Masamoto Matsumoto's idea was to form a large guild for better control and command. Ghost Hand Nobunaga's idea is to only form an elite small guild to be used as a special force. He will let other RB players form an organization with a rough alliance nature, as long as they can be mobilized.

It is based on this theory that Ghost Hand Nobunaga established his guild in such a remote place, and hid it like a secret base, and no one knew about it.

Nobunaga, who returned to his hometown, immediately summoned his group of capable men and began to discuss why I appeared in the ghost gate. Ordinarily, I should fight with them in Kyushu.

A player from the Ghost League said: "I think this guy Ziri must have some evil ideas. This guy never fights normally and always makes trouble with us. It's really troublesome."

Another player said: "No matter what he wants to do, sending someone to keep an eye on him is the top priority."

Ghost-hand Nobunaga held his chin and said: "But the problem is that the encirclement and suppression just now failed. To keep an eye on him, you must at least know where he is first!" Ghost-hand Nobunaga was talking when he suddenly felt the ground starting to It shook violently. "What happened?"

"Probably a volcano." A player said calmly.

Nobunaga Ghost Hand said nervously: "There are no volcanoes near us, so where can we get volcanoes and earthquakes?"

"What could that be?"

"Who knows... wow...!"

They were asking each other when suddenly the big table surrounding them flew upwards. They were pushed to the side, and the two people who were slow to dodge were smashed under the table. A big hole appeared under the table, and a huge jaw protruded from the hole, swinging around. Suddenly the jaws retreated again, and then a gorgeous helmet was seen sticking out from below. The familiar voice of Ghost-Handed Nobunaga also came from the helmet. "Did you get through? Strange, where is this?"

That's right, it's me who comes out from under here. The pioneers were really fast at digging holes. It didn't take long for them to dig all the way down to Nobunaga's house. I saw a circle of people outside staring at me in surprise. I also realized that things were a little bad.

"Hey... I'm sorry I went to the wrong place." I suddenly lowered my head and shouted: "Trailblazer, run."

Ghost Hand Nobunaga also reacted. "You bastard, run away. Chase me quickly." He took the lead and jumped down.

The pioneers immediately started to clear the bypass road as soon as they got there. I thought it was probably too late to get there. Although the Pioneers are digging very quickly, they cannot run faster than Ghost Hand Nobunaga and the others, so it is definitely too late to dig and run. I simply took back the Trailblazer and ran back along the original road. Nobunaga and the others no longer had to look at the road, they just chased along the road.

I ran all the way back to the river before, but I forgot that I put a bomb here and stepped on it. There was a muffled bang. The bomb exploded. I was fine, such a bomb wouldn't kill me, but the river bed was above my head, and the place was very thin, so it couldn't withstand such an explosion. As the shock wave of the explosion was offset, the river bed collapsed. All the water in the underground river rushed in at once, and the huge water rushed into the tunnel and pushed me backwards.

Ghost-handed Nobunaga was chasing after him vigorously when he suddenly heard something not quite right. He stretched out his hand to block the person behind him. "Wait. What's that sound?"

A player stretched his head and listened. "It sounded like water."

"Sound of water?" Nobunaga Ghost Hands was confused and wondering where the water came from. But he soon had an answer, because the water was rushing over. Ghost-handed Nobunaga quickly shouted to the back: "Run back quickly."

Although shouting quickly. But it takes time for people to react. The river rushed all the way along the channel, and I was also rushing here. But Nobunaga Ghost Hands can't control me at this time. The most important job now is to escape. Unfortunately, the speed of the water was much faster than him. The river quickly took me to catch up with the ghost-hand Nobunaga and sucked him in. Then he moved forward and sucked all those guys in.

A large group of us just rolled through the passage and reached the dense area of ​​caves. The water rushed us out from the entrance of the first crypt, and then began to fill the place with water quickly. It seemed that the place would be filled in a short time. Although we were hostile to each other, we didn't care about fighting now and quickly climbed through the elevated passage into the next cave. Then keep running. The river was chasing us all the way, so stunned that we didn't even have time to fight.

We finally passed through the cave area, and there were still three or four caves separated by the river behind us. It would take about ten minutes for it to flood over. Ghost-handed Nobunaga saw an opportunity and immediately attacked me. As a result, the attack failed and turned into a fight. The battle was still not over after more than ten minutes, but the river came over and rushed us into the passage together with a splash and took us out. Once entering the narrow channel, the flow rate of the river begins to increase significantly. We couldn't stop even if we wanted to.

A large number of Ghost League players gathered in the conference room of the Ghost League headquarters. The guards heard fighting and shouting in the room. When they rushed in, they only saw the overturned table and holes in the ground, but did not find the guild bosses who were supposed to be meeting, so they called other members over to plan. Go down and see what's going on. Just as they were discussing whether to go down, the ground suddenly shook.

Without any warning, a huge water column suddenly erupted from the hole, and then the water line in the room began to rise rapidly. Although the door is not airtight, the water leakage from the door crack is far slower than the water outlet. Soon the water reached the roof. Since the door opens inward, the water pressure presses it firmly against the frame, making it impossible to open it. Seeing that the water had reached the roof, and then quickly filled the entire house, the only outlet was the vent on the roof. The water flow reaches the vent quickly. Then it sprays out from all the gaps in the house like a fountain. Players outside see the players inside through the glass, floating around like fish inside the window. A player with quick reactions quickly shouted to the dwarf holding the warhammer next to him: "Quick, smash it open."

The dwarf player immediately swung his sledgehammer and hit it with a hammer, and a crack appeared in the wall with a click. Then the cracks began to spread around, and soon covered the entire wall. The players around them all realized that they were in trouble, so they turned around and tried to run away, but unfortunately they were a little slow. The wall suddenly exploded with a loud bang, and the river water spurted out like a flood, rushing out all the people outside. After the water pressure was balanced, the large hole inside the room continued to spray water outward like a fountain. After a few seconds, a black shadow suddenly flew out from inside. The nearby players have already gotten up. After seeing the black shadow falling, he quickly ran over.

Those players took a closer look and realized that this was the boss of their own guild. But after the boss got up, he coughed and pointed at the water column and said: "Cough cough... hurry up... cough... hurry up, Nobu... Nobunaga Still in there! Cough cough cough cough...!"

When the players around heard that the boss was inside, they hurried over to watch. After a while, another black shadow was shot out. The people around rushed to catch it and found that it was another veteran player in the guild. They quickly put him down and went back. Pick up the player who followed the flying out. Six people came out of the water, all from their guild. After the seventh black shadow flew out, they rushed to catch it. But when I put it down and took a look, I found that I didn't seem to recognize this person. As a result, he looked at the other person's chest. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, they were shocked when they saw it. Because pinned there is the logo of their mortal enemy, the Frost Rose Alliance.

After I was caught by the rb player, I also noticed the change in the other player's eyes. I turned over, jumped up, and threw the person who caught me with my hands. Summon a flying bird and jump on it. "Flash." A group of RB players chased after them, but were hit hard by the air wave emitted from behind the bird's tail. The flying bird disappeared into the sky with its long tail flame. The people in the Ghost Alliance didn't know whether to pursue him or not. After thinking about it, they decided not to pursue him. Their boss is still soaking in the water. If I want to chase him, someone will have to beat me!

Masamoto Matsumoto was the last one to come out of the water. As soon as he came out, he started looking for me everywhere. As a result, someone told him that I had been gone for a few minutes. He was so angry that he kept cursing, but it was useless. At this time, I was already dozens of kilometers away.

Speaking of which, it was also Guishou Nobunaga's bad luck. His city was built in a depression at the foot of the mountain, and the underground river I encountered before was actually at a high altitude. So although it is an underground river, it is actually much higher than the location of the Ghost League headquarters. As a result, after the next opening, the river water will not follow the original route, but will all pour back into this channel, and then from the Ghost League sprayed out in the middle of the city.

I made a long circle in the sky and flew back to the Kyushu area. This is the main battlefield of the Battle of Japan. Just halfway through the flight, I saw a large battlefield. The strange thing is that it is not the Chinese and the Japanese who are fighting, but a large group of Americans fighting against the Japanese. If you look closely, those American flags look a bit familiar.

Pat the birds. "Go down and fall behind the Americans."

As soon as Asuka broke through the clouds, he saw a large group of air cavalry fighting below. The air cavalry on the American side are quite neat and uniform, all looking like rainbow birds. When I saw this bird, I remembered who was underneath. If I guessed correctly, it should be the Rainbow Alliance. No one except them has such fancy flags and mounts.

There was chaos in the air, and no one paid any attention to me. It was only after I flew all the way to the rear of the military formation that the opponent's air defense force noticed me. The mage group immediately fired a row of magic bullets at me. Fortunately, the flying birds were able to dodge quickly. A straight line assault. I put away the flying bird and jumped directly from the sky. The mage group below retreated hastily, and the soldiers rushed up, but Yusina recognized me. "Stop, it's one of our own."

The soldiers looked at me, and then looked at Yusina in confusion. Yusina smiled and explained: "He is Ziri, Chinese."

In the eyes of Americans, Chinese people and Japanese people look exactly the same and cannot be recognized at all. They were fighting with the Japanese when they suddenly saw a Chinese landing. It was natural to think that the RB people had broken through to the rear.

After driving away the guards, Yusina came over. "Why are you here?"

"I was looking for someone. I happened to pass by you and saw you guys fighting here, so I came down to take a look."

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

"Tianzhao."

"That great god from rb?" Yusina was startled.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him."

"What are you looking for him for?" Yusina asked me very surprised.

I shook my head helplessly. "fight."

"Have you ever been able to beat him?"

"I don't know." I pointed ahead. "Stop talking about me. What are you doing?"

"It's not all the fault of that ghostly Nobunaga. That bastard can't escape easily. He has to come to the United States to cause trouble. Some time ago, our guild transported a batch of important goods from South America back to China. Unexpectedly, we were halfway there They robbed it. After the start of the National War, sea lanes were opened between the United States and Japan. I came to settle accounts with Ghost Hand Nobunaga."

"What? There is also a passage between the United States and Japan? What kind of passage is it? Where is it?" This is big news, so we must find out.

Yusina and I have a good relationship. Besides, there’s not much use in hiding this kind of thing, so she readily introduced it to me. "Actually, this is not a secret. After the start of the National War, an island appeared on the west coast of the United States. Although the island is not large, there are two large caves on its edge. These two caves are one facing south. A cave facing north and south can only be entered but not exited, and a cave facing north can only be exited but not entered. In addition, there is also a thick fog that will never dissipate on the Pacific Ocean on the rb side. . The ships on the American side go into the cave on the south side of the island, and they will come out of the heavy fog on the rb side. And the ships on the rb side have to go towards the fog. No matter which direction you drive from Entering the fog, as long as you don't turn the steering wheel, you will definitely drive out from the cave on the north side of the island on the American side. Later we determined that this is actually a sea teleportation point, and it is completely free, and you can teleport with the ship. .”

"No wonder that's not the case! Why do you have the time to go to Japan to fight a war? After a long time of work, a sea channel was opened. Oh, by the way. Isn't there just one external channel for the United States?"

Yusina nodded and confirmed: "Of course there is more than one. There is also a teleportation point on the east coast of the United States, but that teleportation point is across the Atlantic Ocean, and it is more exciting. Most people really don't dare to use it."

"More exciting? What stimulation method?"

"The teleportation point is a big whirlpool. Any ship that comes close will be sucked in, and then spin downwards along the vortex. Soon it will emerge from the opposite side of the Atlantic near Europe, although it usually does not do anything to the ship. But I heard that people often disappear after passing through the passage, and all the missing people are hanged back."

"Big whirlpool? It's really exciting." I thought for a while and said, "I heard that the Canadians are attacking you. What's the situation now? You don't resist the invasion at home, but come here. Don't worry that the other side can't resist it. Live?"

"Please, we are the United States, not Iraq. Is there such a thing as a bully? Yesterday morning we started to fight back. Those guys in Canada are no match for us at all. Now it seems that they have moved the battle line to the original border. It is estimated that today It’s time to hit Canadian territory tonight.”

"Are you really awesome?"

"Do you think it's easy to be the world's policeman?" Yusina showed her little fist. "This is how you speak in the world."

I smiled and didn't comment much. "So how are you doing with the battle with the rb people now? Just now I saw from above that you guys seemed to be overwhelmed."

Yusina said slightly sadly: "Speaking of which, aren't you Orientals used to doing things unconventionally?"

"Why do you have such a view?"

"Because you have always done things like this. This ghost-handed Nobunaga is just like you. He has no normal way of fighting at all. He tries his best to trick people with bad ideas. My people have suffered several big losses. I am really depressed! What if? I won’t say anything if I’m beaten upright, but I’m not willing to be beaten to death like this!”

I smiled and held out a hand. "If you give me money, I'll help you do it."

Yusina slapped my palm. "Being blackmailed by you is worse than fighting a losing battle!"

"You're kidding." I took back my hand and said, "I have to help even if you don't ask me."

"When did you change your gender?" Yusina asked me, pretending to be surprised.

"I didn't change my gender, but I saw an acquaintance in the other party's military formation. I felt the need to go and meet him."

"I just said it!" Yusina stretched out her hand a little above my head. "Okay, let's confirm that you have joined our battle formation. Now you will not be accidentally injured by your own people."

I nodded and turned around and rushed towards the battlefield. In fact, just now in the sky, I noticed that there was a large area of ​​white in the center of the battlefield below. Apart from that Xue Ji, I really can't think of anyone who can create such white snow.

After entering the battlefield, I discovered that the way Americans fight is very different from what I thought before. To be honest, it has been so long since the game started that I have never seen what a large-scale war between American players looks like. Today is the first time I have seen it. It turns out that the battles of American players are completely different from those of other countries. Their battles mainly use long-range weapons, and the firepower is divided into several levels.

The firepower of the nearest layer is supported by muskets. Since the muskets in the game have low power and short shooting range, they can only be used as the first layer of combat power. The second level is archers. The range and power of this primitive weapon using the throwing method are far beyond that of a musket, and it can just hit enemies at mid-range. The third level of firepower is the mages. The damage output of these people is probably the highest in the entire army. The magic is very powerful, covers a wide area, and the range is quite satisfactory. The only disadvantage is that the preparation time is too long, and the ammunition is limited by magic and cannot be used continuously. After the first three, there is a fourth weapon. These are large magic weapons with a long range and great power. However, they are generally not used in daily battles. They can only be used in defense and siege.

The Japanese suffered heavy casualties under the intensive weapons attack by the Americans. However, once they got close, the Americans' defense power was obviously ineffective. However, the Japanese lost too many lives on the way to charge and were no longer as numerous as before. , so it didn’t cross the defense line of American players at once.

I, dressed in black, am quite conspicuous among the colorful members of the Rainbow Alliance, and Xue Ji across from me saw me at a glance. She casually threw away a player she was holding that had turned into an ice sculpture, and then walked straight towards me.
