Volume 20 Chapter 173: Hit a Ghost
After passing through the garrison camp, we had two more guides around us. (") Under the leadership of these two guides, we quickly entered the mine located halfway up the mountain.
I was quite strange at first. Generally, mine caves and other things are at the foot of the mountain. How did they drive up to the middle of the mountain? But after I came in, I found that there was a reason. This mine was not the mine cave dug by manpower as imagined, at least the first half was not. The entrance to the mine cave is a natural cave, or a crack is better. The opening of this place is about twenty meters long, but the widest place is only a little over two meters. Moreover, this is the center of the cave entrance. The entrance to the cave exceeds this range is usually only thirty or forty centimeters wide.
Because this place has been transformed into a mine cave, the entrance of the cave has undergone some manual processing. The most important thing is that a lot of wooden stakes are inserted into the edge of the cave entrance. With the help of these wooden stakes, even ordinary people can easily get up and down as long as they have better physical strength.
Matsumoto Masaki and I looked at the hole and asked the guide next to us how to walk the road behind. The other party said we needed to go down first. I thought about it and grabbed the belts of the two guides one by one and jumped down. They were so scared that they kept screaming and struggling. But after a few seconds, the struggle stopped because they found that I was jumping down in the hole wall, and they were grabbed by me, although the wind was whistling in my ears, there was no actual damage, so the two did not scream again.
Of course, this method is much faster than climbing a wooden stake. In less than a minute, we landed at the bottom of the hole, and then Matsumoto Masaga followed him after a few seconds. Although the two guides landed safely, they were obviously a little drifting when walking, which was probably scared. However, our identities were guests invited by the king, and they did not dare to get angry at us, so they could only continue to lead the way respectfully.
The passage we just came down was actually only the entrance part was wider. The more we went down, the closer the crack was to the circular passage. Moreover, the passage was obviously inclined to the second half, so the bottom of the passage was not directly below the entrance.
Now the area at the bottom of the passage where we are located is a natural cave. Looking at the traces on the surrounding walls, it is obvious that there was a river here before, because all the rocks on the walls have no edges and are smooth and smooth like pebbles.
Although the cave was not built manually, it had been made for a period of time, so it was obviously rested here. There were many mining tools piled up near the vertical passage, but because it was old, most of them were rotten and only shelves were left. In addition, there were two tables next to the other wall of the cave, with many bottles and jars on it. I don’t know what they were originally loaded.
If it is a mine mined by artificially, there should be a channel to the mining area. However, this is a natural cave. Therefore, although there is indeed a channel to the mining area, it is mixed in eight channels of different sizes and shapes. I have no idea which one is the one leading to the mining area. Besides, we came to chase Kris Dena and the others, not to mine, so it is useless even if we know which channel leads to the mining area, because we are not going there at all.
"Please go here, two sirs." After the guides came down, they led us into a small cave on the right. The cave is not narrow, and the width can be about 1.5 meters. It is more than enough for one person to go there, but unfortunately the height of the passage is only one meter. Although it cannot be considered very small, it is unlikely to walk in. There is no way, Matsumoto Masaga had to crawl in the cave with the two guides. Fortunately, such a section is not long. After turning more than three meters ahead, a new passage was entered. The passage here is obviously much wider. The width of the passage has increased to more than three meters and the height has also increased to 1.6 meters. Although it is still impossible to stand straight, it is no problem to move forward. It is much more convenient than crawling on all sides on the ground.
Entering the spacious new passage and continuing to walk forward, soon a fork with three forks appeared in front of us. The guides took us into one of the passages, and then one of the guides said to us: "The road ahead requires two people to walk by themselves. If we go down there, it will be inconvenient to come back, so please go down by yourself. Don't worry, someone in front will answer."
Matsumoto Masaga and I nodded and said goodbye to the guide and started entering the passage. After less than ten meters ahead, we found that the surrounding cave walls began to change. The originally pitch-black cave walls turned into a crystal stone with a light yellow color, which looked very smooth as if they were made of jade.
Because the hole wall is relatively smooth, and as we moved forward, the inclination began to increase, we finally gave up the plan to continue walking, but just sat on the ground and started to slide forward like a slide. This method is indeed much faster than walking, and the most important thing is that as the distance forward further increases, the ramp began to become steeper. At first, Matsumoto and Masaga Matsumoto also needed to push the walls on both sides to help themselves move forward, but after a minute we even had the intention to slow down, because our current speed is basically almost over a hundred kilometers per hour. Not everyone can play with this kind of slide, let alone we have never been here. It would be strange if the front slips well and suddenly ends, we don’t fall into meat pie.
Although we wanted to slow down, we still held it back because the guide could not harm us. However, the next journey was really similar to riding a roller coaster. No, this was much more exciting than a roller coaster. I don’t know how this passage was formed. The route during this period was not only bumpy up and down, but also had a big loop in some places, which made our hearts keep up and down with the regularity of the slide.
After wandering around this crazy slide for ten minutes, we probably had already penetrated a very deep position underground. Then we suddenly found that there was a light in front of us, but not a white light, but a faint blue-green. But before we could react, we suddenly felt that our body was weightless, and then we took it by ourselves and flew into an empty environment.
Almost as soon as I flew out of the passage, I realized that the surrounding environment was quite wide, so I spread my wings directly. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple, however, it was as if the plane was easily raised when throwing a paper plane. As soon as my wings opened, it suddenly rose because my body was too fast. Then I saw a huge black shadow hitting me. Because the speed was too fast, I didn't have time to dodge. I just had time to protect my arms in front of me and hit it with a bang, and then a splash of gravel. It turned out that it was a stalactite hanging from the top of the cave.
After I broke the stalactite, my body began to fall down because I lost balance. Before I could land, I heard a bang from behind. I didn’t have to think about it. Masaki Matsumoto was caught.
Because he did not use his flying ability in time, Matsumoto Masaki Matsumoto responded to the call of the earth after leaving the cave entrance. Of course, he did not fall on the ground, but fell into the water and splashed in the sky. He rolled forward like a stone drifting in the water. Finally, he rushed to the shore before stopping. I also fell down after Masaki Masaki landed on the ground, and hit him, almost venting his breath.
"Are you okay?" I found that Masaki Matsumoto hit me, so I quickly turned over and jumped up. The Dragon Soul suit could even block the attacks of the gods. This level of collision was really a small problem.
Masaga Matsumoto was lying on the ground and wailed, wiping his back, but he touched a hand of blood. He was so scared that he quickly turned around and looked at his waist. He found that there were two big holes on his waist and back that were bleeding. "Damn, I didn't even fall to death even if I was so tall, I actually made you sit two holes in your butt. What's wrong with your butt? "
Seeing the blood hole on Matsumoto Masaki, I quickly looked down at myself, but found that the two hidden blades behind the skirt armor were actually stained with blood, so I immediately understood what was going on. "I'm so sorry, this is a bulge on my armor, which is a protective weapon. I just fell down and I didn't know you were underneath!"
"Damn, this is OK? It's so unlucky to follow you! By the way, isn't there any healing technique in your magic pet? Hurry up, my blood volume begins to fall."
"Okay, okay, don't be spoiled, aren't it just two holes? When you were acting with you, you poked me and screamed at me?"
"I don't compare with you. You are a pervert." Masaga Matsumoto saw that I didn't summon the magic pet and got up and started to heal himself. After all, his profession also has basic healing techniques, but before he could release the spell, a white light flashed across his body, and the wound healed quickly.
"Looking at you, let Xiaochun help you with it." As I said, I began to observe the surrounding environment, and said, "Didn't someone say that someone will respond? Where are the people?"
Crazy... Just as I asked where the person was, a sudden noise appeared next to him, and Masaga Matsumoto shouted alertly: "Who is it?"
"Big... Sir... Help..." We saw a hand tremblingly under the pile of gravels in front of us, and it seemed that we wanted to catch something.
"Damn!" I suddenly remembered that the armor on this hand seemed to be the standard equipment of the local army. Then I looked at the pile of stones, which was obviously just here. I compared the shape and texture of the stones, and immediately found that this was the stalactite I bumped into, and the one below... May Jego bless him to persevere!
Finally, I remembered the reason, so I rushed forward and lifted the stone pressing on the guy's body twice, and then I saw the responder who was hit below. However, this guy was really lucky. He just relied on a large piece of rock beside him to hit the stalactite falling from above, otherwise he might have been crushed to death this time.
With Xiaochun here, he could be saved as long as he had breath. The responder had only a lot of scratches on his body, but it was not a big deal. Under Xiaochun's treatment, he quickly jumped around.
As I guessed, this person was responsible for receiving our support, but he didn't expect that the stone was received first, not us.
"Do you know how to walk the road ahead?"
The receptionist immediately nodded and said, "I know. Come with me."
Under the leadership of this receptionist, we left the underground cave full of water, and then walked forward. After walking less than 30 meters, the road was divided into two. The responding soldier told us to follow the road on the left, and then he said, "I am the last receptionist, and there should be no one in front of me. So, if there are any forks or something, please pay attention to the mark. Your companions said they would leave arrow marks on the wall."
I nodded and took Matsumoto Masaga Matsumoto to chase the passage on the left. After running for a while, Masaga Masaga Masaga began to complain: "This passage is so short! It would be great if it was a little higher. At least we can run on our mounts and the speed can be much faster."
"Mount?" I suddenly stopped hearing Masao Matsumoto's words.
Masaki Matsumoto looked at me in confusion and asked, "What? Is there any problem?"
I patted myself and said, "Damn it, why didn't I remember it long ago?" As I said that, I pulled out a machine with a very strange shape from the Phoenix Dragon Space under Masao Matsumoto's surprised gaze.
"What's this thing?" Masaga Matsumoto obviously had never seen this thing, and in fact he shouldn't have seen it, because this is an experimental instrument just created by our guild. I brought it out to test it and haven't equipped the personnel in the guild yet. (") Moreover, even if this thing is finalized and produced in the future, it probably won't be able to get the point where everyone in the guild has a set. After all, this is a high-end product.
I did not answer Masaki Matsumoto’s question, but directly showed it to him. I gently pressed a button in the center of the long box, and then grabbed a handle at the top of the middle of the box and lifted it up. I heard a clatter of the box. At the same time, the four robotic arms with wheels on the front end were extended to support the angle between the hole wall and the ground. Masaki Matsumoto didn’t understand what I was going to do, and I pulled and pressed the center of the box that had become more than one meter above the ground. After a clatter, four mechanical legs immediately spread out on the top of the box to support the angle between the hole and the wall, and the tips of the four legs also had wheels.
Although Masaki Matsumoto had roughly guessed something, I moved faster. I pulled the crossbar that broke the box and lifted it up, and something similar to the bicycle faucet appeared. When the faucet was in place, I quickly turned the handle of the faucet, and a thick bowl structure popped up at the tail of the box. Masaki Masaki knew at a glance that this was a jet thruster, because our guild used this thing on the mobile day.
The construction team ended here, and I turned over and jumped on the box and rode on it, then asked Masaga Matsumoto: "Come on, I'll take you for a ride."
"We guild actually have such things?" Masaga Matsumoto said as he jumped up and pulled out the safety belt that he had already found a seat and completely fixed his body.
After we finished the fixed work, I immediately turned the control handle again. The jet thruster behind the box we were riding instantly ejected a few meters of blue flame, and the machine under us also jumped out in the blink of an eye. The speed was simply unacceptable.
In fact, the maximum speed of this thing is only sixty kilometers per hour, which is not much. However, because we are in the underground passage, the surrounding reference objects are relatively close to us, so we feel that the speed is like lightning. Originally, if it was just a means of transportation at a speed of sixty kilometers per hour, it would not make much sense, but in an environment like an underground maze, this kind of thing has become more useful.
Because underground mazes are often narrow, and the structure of high and low undulations is relatively complex, most of the good transportation tools will fail here. However, this thing is different. The combination of mechanical legs and wheels attaches great importance to the passing ability while ensuring speed. The eight unfolded mechanical legs can actually be bent, that is, no matter whether the passage is wide or narrow, it can enter as long as it does not exceed a certain range. When encountering routes such as steps, sharp turns, etc. that ordinary transportation cannot handle, this thing can also be easily handled by mechanical legs. In short, it can walk the roads that people can walk, and it may not be impossible to pass if people can't get through it.
With this thing, we were obviously much faster. In less than ten minutes, the passage ended directly and entered a huge underground space.
The shape of this space is obviously not naturally formed, because this room is too regular. The regular octagonal room has an entrance on each of the eight walls, and the passage we enter is one of them.
"Damn, so many doors?"
"There are arrows here." As soon as I asked Matsumoto Masaga, I found the mark, which was on the ground in front of the door in front of us. The arrows were drawn on the ground in the form of a magic circle, and they were flashing and eye-catching.
"Since there is a direction, then chase it and take a look." As I said, I pushed the mechanical mount over, but this time I only walked less than two kilometers and couldn't continue to move forward, because the entire passage in front was flooded.
Perhaps because we were afraid that we would not go down when we saw the water, there was another arrow here, pointing directly into the water. Matsumoto Masaki and I had to put away our mechanical mount and follow us.
The water here is very clear and it is live water. You can clearly feel the water flowing, but the speed is very slow and does not affect our movement.
After the passage was drained, it turned into a transverse waterway. On the wall opposite us, there was another arrow pointing to the right. We immediately turned over. From this direction, we went upstream. Fortunately, the water flow was very slow, otherwise the movement would be limited.
Because the waterway here is very spacious, I did not swim forward with Matsumoto Masaga. I directly summoned Adina out and quickly pushed forward under her guidance.
After moving forward along the underground river for about two hundred meters, a large stone suddenly appeared in the middle of the shouting sermon. It seemed that this was not the stone that was originally there, but was dug from the wall and moved to the center of the river. Looking at the two rows of traces on the edge of the stone, this thing might have been moved here by Zhenhong with brute force.
The big stone was very smooth toward us. There was an arrow pointing directly above, but we looked up and saw nothing. The rocks above our heads were very flat and there was no special thing.
Matsumoto Masaki looked at the rock above his head, and then suddenly reached out to touch it for a while. As a result, we saw half of his palm disappear into the rock at the top of the cave. Because he didn't feel the pain, Masaki Masaki immediately understood that this was an illusion, and he pulled his hand back to let me see it. I also understood his discovery, so he reached out to touch it and confirmed the range of the hole.
Overall, the hole is relatively narrow, and it is almost enough for a person to pass through in armor. If he is tall and burly, he may not be able to get through it. At least I think the eagle may not be able to get through it. As for girls, most of them are fine.
After I figured out the structure of the cave, I took the lead in. As soon as my head passed the illusion barrier, I could see the situation above immediately. It was indeed a rock passage here, and of course it was also soaked in water, but this was more convenient. After all, we were moving upwards, and it was always much easier to help with the buoyancy of water than to go up by ourselves.
After I got into the hole, Matsumoto Masaki immediately followed me and followed me up. However, the passage was too narrow and I felt that the speed was really not fast. The main reason was that I always bumped into the protrusions on the wall. I had to move my body carefully to get out of it, otherwise I would be stuck. Although I could squeeze through with my equipment, the speed was slower, so I could only move forward carefully.
After climbing up for about ten meters, the passage began to grow bigger. Although it was not very wide, it could at least make people let go. Moreover, after continuing to rise for seven or eight meters, we left the water surface. Although it was still a passage, there was no water.
Seeing this situation, I no longer struggled to climb up. I directly summoned the dart and pulled out the rope head of the dragon gang cable for him. The dart immediately jumped up with the rope head in his mouth and jumped up. Although the rope line affected the speed, the dart still ran to the top in just over ten seconds, and then waited for more than ten seconds to find a place to fix the rope head and notified me that the task was completed.
I asked Matsumoto Masaki to hold my waist from behind, and then I started to use the retractor to tighten the cables. We were immediately pulled up by the retractor, which was much faster than we climbed by ourselves. In fact, the most annoying thing about this passage is that it is too narrow. If it is five or six times wider, I can summon the birds. If there is a bird, it will take at most one minute from here to the top. And even if I don’t use the birds, I will fly much faster than climbing with my wings.
As the wire collector continued to rotate, we began to gradually approach the exit at the top. However, just as we were more than twenty meters away from the exit, I suddenly felt a very familiar and comfortable atmosphere. However, the only one who felt comfortable was me, Matsumoto Masaga shivered directly.
"What a strong yin energy!"
"Well, it feels pretty good." I took a deep breath and said.
Masaga Matsumoto looked at me in surprise, and then thought that I was from the dark system, and all my equipment and attributes were biased towards the dark system. The reason why I don’t reject other systems now is because the patron saints of our guild are the chaotic and order gods, and the main function of Vina’s chaotic and order gods is to reduce the repulsion reaction. To put it simply, the attributes of darkness and light will be mutually exclusive, but in our guild, you can practice the two attributes of light and darkness together. Although there will still be a little resistance, there will be absolutely no danger. This is the benefit of the chaotic and order gods.
Even if the characteristics of the Gods of Chaos and Order reduce the repulsion, the affinity attribute will not change after all. Therefore, I have a strong affinity for all dark and negative energy. At the same time, when approaching this environment, my combat power will be improved and my body will feel particularly comfortable.
Although I feel quite good, Matsumoto Masaki was made all over. Don't forget that he is no longer the same Masaki Masaki used to be. In order to re-create him into a Japanese national idol and player representative, Masaki Masaki's attributes are almost all customized by our guild, including the set of Emperor Guangming suits on him. Moreover, when you hear the name of the equipment on him, you should also know that his energy attributes are biased towards the positive. After all, the Japanese are known as the Sunrise Country and worship the sun more, while Masaki Masaki is a national idol. The light attributes are obviously more suitable for attracting popularity. However, the light attributes are obviously at a disadvantage in such places with super yin energy. Even if there is no fight, he feels very uncomfortable.
As we continued to approach the exit, this feeling not only did not disappear but became more and more serious. After we completely left the entrance of the cave, we could see the bones all over the ground. Human, dragon, and various monsters, anyway, all bones were all filled with bones, densely packed with the entire ground of the crypt where we were. My dragon tendon rope was fixed on a huge dragon next to it by a dart. It seemed that this was a dragon king-level dragon, otherwise the bones would not be so big.
Because the corpses are everywhere and there is an underground environment, the yin energy cannot be dissipated and cannot evolve. On the contrary, the earth energy will warm these dark auras to make them grow. It is normal for a long time to accumulate strong yin energy.
After putting away the darts and dragon tendon ropes, we left the big hole and started walking forward. The place we just came up was at the edge of the cave, not near the ground, but on a small platform, which was a little higher than the center of the cave. When we walked to the edge of the platform, we could see an underground cave as huge as an indoor stadium. In this cave, we were now full of white bones in the pits and valleys. Moreover, not far ahead of us, several skeletons were still wandering aimlessly there, obviously a new undead that had been born.
I don't think it's strange that a naturally formed undead spirit appears in a place where the yin energy is so heavy, but the number of skeletons here is obviously a little smaller. Normally, it's like such a good living environment for undead spirits. I don't think it's strange that all the bones in this place are getting up and swaying around. On the contrary, the bones have no reaction. The condition of only two or three skeletons is quite strange.
"Ah..." I was thinking about why there were so few undead here, and suddenly I heard a tragic scream behind me. The owner of the voice was obviously frightened because even the sound changed. I was thinking about the problem, but I was shocked by this shout.
"Damn, Matsumoto Masaki, why are you so angry?" I looked at Masaki Masaki who jumped in front of me and asked angrily.
Masaki Matsumoto pointed at me desperately behind me, then opened and closed my mouth but couldn't speak. He was so anxious that he was sweating almost. However, his movements were so obvious that I calculated that the fool knew that there was something behind me. So, I turned around and looked behind me.
A dead soul. It's just like that for me. But Masaga Matsumoto was obviously frightened. Even though he was still shaking his hands and feet, it seemed that he could sit on the ground at any time.
To be honest, the undead in front of me is not very scary. Overall, she looks like a human. She is about 1.6 meters tall, and may be a little shorter. She is wearing a gray-white nightgown and barefoot. The skin on her feet is abnormally blue-purple, and there are purple blood vessels on the surface. Although it is not good-looking, it is not too scary. In addition, from her long hair to her waist, she should be a woman, but because the other party lowered her head and her long hair was all scattered forward in front of her, she couldn't see her appearance clearly.
It should be said that this is a standard Asian version of the female ghost style. Looking directly at me, I don’t understand why Matsumoto Masaki looks like a rabbit who has seen his natural enemy. I think he is almost scared to death.
"Hey, just a female ghost. Are you scared like that?" I have turned around and faced the female ghost, and looked back at Masaga Matsumoto and asked.
Matsumoto Masaga finally could speak after such a long period of adjustment, but he felt a little confused. He pointed at the female ghost and said with difficulty: "Saki... Sadako..."
"Sashiko? Is this female ghost named? Is it very famous?" I turned my head in surprise and looked at the female ghost in front of me, and then sighed: "Damn, I really didn't see it. A female ghost of more than three thousand levels! It's really scary."
"No, it's not a matter of level!" Masaga Matsumoto stammered: "Boss, have you never watched "The Curse"?"
"Critic? What is that? Is it a skill?"
"I..." Matsumoto Masaga felt like he was about to collapse. "You haven't even watched such a classic movie?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, I don't watch too many movies. It sounds like this is a star ghost."
To be continued...
