Chapter 505 Mysterious Shaft
"Did you find something?" Radamantis also came up to ask.
I made a low voice and pointed to the front. Radamantis and Christina immediately lowered the volume, and followed me carefully forward.
In fact, we don’t have to be so careful, because we have an absolute advantage in strength compared to the previous group of people. This can be seen from Pandora’s previous killing of all sides. Although the other party almost killed Pandora in the end, it was because the other party had something to restrain the divine power, but we are not only gods here. Christina and I, as well as Zhenhong, are players, and Red Flame is guarded by the guild, and are not affected by that kind of thing. So, we still have absolute initiative here.
Secondly, no one here uses a torch, that is, there is no light source, and the gold coins are worried about taking a sneaking talisman for each of us, so under normal circumstances there is no possibility of being discovered here. Of course, what I mentioned does not include our intentionally exposing our target.
After carefully approaching the passage, we immediately found the location of the other party. Because they were all holding torches, the dark hall was bright, so we naturally saw it at a glance. However, I did not pay much attention to the location of these people, but first looked at the structure of the hall.
This hall is actually very huge, much larger than the indoor sports venue. The hall is the lowest, and it rises in circles around it, which looks a bit like the structure of a Colosseum. However, the hall has many pillars and some horizontal passage connections. It seems that it is not originally used to watch beast fighting competitions. After all, those things may help zhong yāng creatures run into the audience. Of course, it is not ruled out that magic bans will be activated when used.
The entrance to the passage where we are located is not on the ground, but in the middle of the wall, and it is more than ten meters high from the ground below. Originally, there was a very fast step extending all the way to a horizontal passage below, and the passage also had a stone step connected to the ground. However, I don’t know why the entrance was broken inexplicably, and it seemed that it had been destroyed by something.
Because there is a shortage of steps, we are more than five meters away from the nearest step opposite. This distance is rare for ordinary people to pass through, but we are not ordinary people here, and we have no intention of going up the steps. If the steps are unobstructed, it means that we are completely exposed to the air. Although we are dark here, the possibility of being discovered is not ruled out.
After looking at the situation over there, I turned around and talked to them in a low voice, so that everyone could keep quiet, and then ran to the entrance of the passage and jumped down from here. As soon as my body lost its support, it began to fall immediately. I spread my wings lightly, but did not flap, so I landed on the ground below by gliding and gliding. Finally, I fell lightly like a cat, without making a sound.
As soon as I landed, others also landed one after another. Although the methods used were different, they were all very quiet. Apart from the gods, they were all high-end players, and they were all very rich in combat experience. Secret infiltration is an important part of combat experience, so we were also very quiet on the ground.
After landing, I gestured to everyone to get closer, and then began to move forward first.
To be honest, it is actually quite rare to sneak in such a place. The main reason is that the environment here is relatively bad. First of all, the ground in this place is not flat, but a multi-stage structure with a certain slope, so you need to be careful at your feet. Secondly, the place is full of stone fragments, just like mines, and we will make a sound as soon as we touch it a little. Thirdly, this place is a closed environment. The echoes in this environment will be very strong. In addition, there is no external noise, and the noise intensity here is very low, so any small sound will be amplified very clearly, so our movements are greatly limited. However, we are quite lucky because the other party is knocking and beating at a certain position in the hall and I don’t know what to dig. The sound of their knocking on the stone is now the biggest noise here, and there are some people among them talking, so the noise is quite loud, just covering some of our voices.
With this hidden advantage, we carefully touched the opponent's team and began to observe the team.
At first I heard Bai Lang’s narration that I always thought these people were NPCs, but after getting closer, I realized that this was actually a player team, and not only wasn’t an NPC team, there wasn’t an NPC team.
These players are obviously from the same guild, and the badges on them prove this very directly. From their dialogue language, we can find that these people are Korean players, most of them are Koreans, but there are two whites and one and three Japanese among the small group of people as the leader. The reason why those three Japanese people are well recognized is that they are all Japanese professions, one of them is Onmyoji, one of them, a ninja and a Japanese samurai. The two white people should be Russians if nothing unexpected happens, because there is one guy I seem to have seen once before. Although I don’t know what it is, he does appear next to the Frozen Banshee, which means that this person is a subordinate of the Frozen Banshee. The other white man is not very sure about the other white man, because although this person has obvious white characteristics, he still has some characteristics of other races, and it seems that he is mostly a mixed race.
These leaders gathered together to discuss something in a low voice, but did not participate in the excavation work. In the place where zhong yāng, there were several Korean players busy digging holes, but they didn't know what they were digging.
When I first saw these people digging pits there, I wondered why these people were dug there stupidly. After all, the players' skills in the game are very powerful, and there are many skills that can be used to dig mountains and quarry. Of course, it is very simple to dig a leaf on the ground. However, these people do not use skills, but simply use the metal tools in their hands to knock around. It is not only difficult to say that the speed is slow.
However, I quickly realized that there might be something strange on the ground, so I quickly lowered my head and placed my hand on the ground. Christina and the others saw my movements and then put my hand on the ground and carefully sensed it. They found that the rocks on the ground had the effect of shielding magic. If it weren't for the distance that was too close, we would almost have called out.
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. Anyway, most of these people were enemies, and we expected to dig ourselves after killing them. It would be better for them to use their remaining energy to help get the things out first, and then we snatch them. This is what we should wait for the effort.
Although the other party's excavation method was difficult, the speed was not really slow. In less than twenty minutes, a large pit with a diameter of more than one meter and at least two meters deep was opened on the ground. Then, just when we were worried that the other party would have to dig for a long time, a loud bang suddenly came from the big pit below, and then a scream.
When we heard this sound, we immediately became very energetic, and the other party rushed to the entrance of the cave immediately, and then pulled out a player from it, while the other guy who went down to dig the pit had unknown whereabouts.
"What's going on? What about Jin Er?" After pulling the other party out, the leader of the Korean player asked to the player.
The guy named Jin Er said immediately: "It fell down! As we dug, we suddenly opened down. I held the hole walls on both sides before it fell down, but Jin Er fell down without any reaction."
The Korean player obviously wasn't really worried about that Jin Er, but just wanted to know what the situation was below. I heard that it fell down because of the collapse, so I didn't ask too much, but ordered a few people around me, "You guys go and see what the situation is."
"Yes." Several Korean players quickly walked to the entrance of the hole and put down a triangle derrick, then hung up pulleys and ropes, and then grabbed the rope and jumped down. On the other side of the rope, several players were pulling it.
As the player continued to decline, the player's voice came from below. At first, someone threw a few torches at him, and then someone let him play him with him for a little more. A few seconds later, the player shouted and said, "President, it seems that the bottom seems very deep, and our rope may not be long enough!"
"Then you cut off the rope and fly down and take a look."
"Okay." The player started to untickle the rope after he said that. As soon as he untied the rope, he screamed like a weight and fell down. The people above were stunned, and then someone realized that there must be a ban on air below.
Although I can't see the situation in the hole, I can roughly guess what the situation is. This place is mostly a deep hole, and it is a hole with a forbidden airfield. You can only put yourself down with a rope in this kind of place. If you want to fly down, it basically means jumping off the building directly. So the previous player was originally going to fly down, but it turned out to be suicide.
"What should I do now?" asked several players next to me, looking at the president.
The president of the Korean player was stunned when asked, and then turned to look at the Russian and Japanese players around him. The two groups of players were also a little at a loss. In the game, everyone didn't care about many things that they dared to do or could not do in reality because there were many ways to do these things in the game, and it was very simple. However, this hole now obviously deprived the players of their abilities to something similar to that in reality. There was no way to see the edge around the huge hole, so the method of climbing the wall was completely unused because the wall could not be touched at all. However, the rope was not long enough, and the flight was restricted, so there was no way to descend safely.
Fortunately, these people were prepared. One of the Russian players quickly took out a large bundle of special ropes from their storage space and threw them on the ground to replace the original rope.
In fact, the rope brought by Korean players is not that it is not long enough, but that it cannot be used. The rope is not valuable. There are so many Korean players here, and it is not a big deal to bring a rope that is hundreds of kilometers long. But the problem is that the rope itself has weight. If you hang a rope vertically, an extreme length will be formed based on the strength of the rope itself and its own weight. If the length exceeds this limit, the rope will break itself because of its own weight. In this case, the rope can only reach a certain length at the longest length. To make the rope longer, you can only consider reducing the weight of the rope or increasing the strength. However, the method of reducing the weight of the rope is mostly to reduce the diameter, and the diameter of the rope is often proportional to the strength, so simply using thinner ropes cannot increase the limit length.
The rope contributed by Russian players is obviously not ordinary ropes. After the Korean players changed the ropes in a hurry, they tied one of them to a player and then let him jump down. The person above pulled the rope and slowly put the rope down to let him go down gradually.
As the player continued to deepen, the rope on the upper part also became shorter. However, when the rope on the upper part was about half, the people who pulled the rope suddenly slid forward. Then many people reacted and began to pull back with force, but it seemed that something was tug of war with the people above. Even though they used a lot of force, they still couldn't pull it. And just when the two sides were in a stalemate, they suddenly heard a loud bang. It turned out that the tripod used to hang the pulley was broken because they could not bear such a large amount of force.
After the tripod was gone, everyone suddenly tilted backwards and fell down together. However, these people soon stabilized the rope again. It was strange that they did not use much power this time. Those who had felt the huge pulling force before were a little confused. The person who led the lead looked at the leader of the Korean player. The other party understood that the person was asking for his own opinions, so he shouted: "Pull it up."
With this prompt, the person behind immediately began to pull up, and soon the rope that was put down was pulled up, but in the end they only pulled up, and the player was gone. What's even more terrifying is that the break of the rope was not a sharp cutting mark, but an explosion, which means that the rope was pulled off.
Another person was lost for no reason, and the Korean players began to get a little confused. However, these people were still in good discipline, and they just talked quietly and didn't really do anything.
Christina carefully approached me on the guild channel and said to me, "President, guess what's down there?"
The voice of the gold coins said on the channel: "Does it still need to be guessed? It's definitely a monster!"
Christina immediately said, "Of course I know it's a monster, I'm the monster that you ask you to guess what it looks like."
"There are so many monsters in this game, how do I know what monster it is?" Jin Coin said.
I immediately said, "No matter what monster it is, it will be our turn to eat up all of this group of people first. At that time, we can at least know in advance what kind of thing we are fighting against. But I think it shouldn't be a particularly powerful creature."
"Why?" Christina asked with Jin Coin.
"Because I didn't feel any energy fluctuations."
"Maybe there is a magic restriction or something in that shaft?" Christina asked.
Not to mention, Christina really forgot if she didn't remind me. This monster was not exposed directly in front of us, but was separated by a floor more than two meters thick. The materials on this floor are obviously very special, and it is very normal to have a setting to isolate energy fluctuations on it.
"It's hard to say what level of things is there. But I don't think it's at least not a smart thing."
"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 at once, instead of playing tug-of-war with the people above. In this case, it can only be said that the creature below has no foresight. It must have bite or grasped the target as soon as it comes up, and then when it pulls down, it will find that the rope cannot be pulled, so it can only play tug-of-war with the people above. If an intelligent person sees that the person has a rope tied, even if it doesn't cut the rope at the first time, at least it will kill the player first and then cut the rope. Anyway, it will definitely not play tug-of-war with the people above.
Regardless of whether the creature is very smart or not, we think this thing is definitely not easy to deal with, otherwise it would not be so terrifying to kill a player. Since the player who was put down can be used as a pioneer, it will naturally not be the weakest. Cannon fodder is used on the battlefield. In this kind of adventure mission, the one who is not the strongest combat power must be a mechanism or a pathfinder. Anyway, it will not be an ordinary person. So the person below was attacked without any response and the signal was sent out. It can only mean that the creature below was very powerful, and it fell off the player in an instant, and even the chance to ask him to send a signal to remind the person above was not left.
Because this person's death was obviously not an accident, but something attacked him, there were some differences in the candidates for the next person to enter. After all, the people here are not stupid, and no one wants to go down to hang monsters, right? However, these Korean players have not yet reached the conclusion, but 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 have never shortage of suicide squadrons.
"How long do you think that guy can last?" We, who were not concerned about our affairs, watched the Japanese players going down the well, made a bet. It was no different for us to die or not. But unfortunately, we didn't even have time to place the bet, because the monster obviously climbed up. The Japanese player might have screamed less than five meters after he was put down, and the rope broke.
