Chapter 73: Pit you to death(1/2)
"Now you can communicate with us and tell us what happened just now? Why did you attack us?"
"Because you are outsiders." The other party said after calming down for a moment.
Some people may think that this answer is not convincing enough, but in my opinion, this is enough. Sometimes conflicts actually come from very simple questions, excluding outsiders and people who are different from themselves, which is the basic characteristics of human beings. This situation is more clear in the primitive tribes than in modern times. Modern people at least have a civilized and polite attitude to suppress it. Even if they don’t like it in their hearts, they will not say it directly on the surface, but for the primitive people, they will take action directly.
"Well, since you know that we are outsiders and that we are very strong and cannot be dealt with. Then, as the leader of this tribe, don't you plan to make any compensation for the offense just now?"
"Compensation?" The other party was stunned for a moment, then began to think. After pondering for a while, he suddenly said excitedly: "By the way, I remembered it. We have a magic axe here. If you can move it, I will give it to you as compensation."
"Why do I sound a bit like Sun Wuzi's stick?" Zhenhong said.
I hadn't thought of this before, but I heard from Zhenhongyi that it was a bit of that. But I still said, "How do I know if that thing is worth the price? You also know that in my opinion, your weapons are all ragged, including the one you use."
"No, no, the magic axe is a different existence." The leader of the savage said excitedly: "The magic axe was given to us by a mountain god a long time ago. It was an axe with divine power. It was not only very heavy, but also extremely sharp. It was not something that our weapons could compare with."
"Gived it from the mountain god?" When he heard this, he felt that this thing was 80% not very good. You should know that the mountain god system can only be considered a god in the heavenly court, which is only a little higher than the heavenly soldiers. It is definitely a miscellaneous soldier level. What good things can this existence give? As for the savage leader saying that this thing is very heavy and can't take it, I think it's just that the equipment attribute requirements of this thing are relatively high. The power points required are too large, so they can't take it.
"Although what you said seems to be very precious, we are really unable to be sure of the value of this thing without seeing the real thing."
"It's okay, I can take you to see."
Under the leadership of the savage leader, we quickly left here from an exit behind the city and then walked around the outside of the city. The savage villages were not far from the periphery of the abandoned city. As for why I didn't take Christina and the others to chase Matsumoto Masaki and the others. This is not that I was wasting time, but that Masaki and the others had just sent a message that they had come out of the underground world and were moving towards the forest area behind the city, so it would be meaningless to go down again. Why don't you just take a shortcut and go over the ground and save some time. As for the part of the underground world, let's leave it for Ghost Nobunaga and the others to play slowly.
After following the savage all the way to their village, a large group of female savages and children came out of the village. These were obviously family members. After seeing us outsiders, the women and children did not show any fearful gazes, but looked at us with a curious look, not knowing what it meant.
The savage leader who led the way waved away the women and children, and then took the three of us to a square behind the village. We found the axe from a distance because it was inserted into a large stone in the center of the square. And this axe was not an ordinary product. I have said before that the level and appearance of the equipment in "Zero" are directly linked, unless some very familiar equipment, generally speaking, the more gorgeous the appearance of the equipment, the higher the level of the thing. The axe in front of us knows that it is definitely not an ordinary product just by looking at the appearance, because it is really too gorgeous.
This is a giant golden axe with golden light shining all over the body. It is inlaid with more than twenty gems of various colors, and there is a dragon relief with coiled axe handle on the axe body. The dragon head extends out from the top of the giant axe, forming a three-dimensional sculpture of the dragon head with its mouth open. The giant axe is vertical there, and the length of the axe handle inserted into the stone is not very clear yet, but the part exposed in seconds is two meters long. It is estimated that the total length of the entire axe may be about two meters two. The upper axe blade is made of a standard crescent blade. This is different from the carpenter's axe, after all, this is an axe for combat. In addition, the back of the axe
A very large structure like a hammer was designed, which is mainly used for counterweight. After all, the part of the axe blade is too thick. If there is no weight here, the weight of the axe itself will be tilted, and the accuracy will be affected when swung horizontally, because additional power is required to stabilize the axe itself. However, a little different from ordinary giant axes is that the counterweight part of this axe looks like a slightly protruding rectangular drooping structure, but in fact there are more than a dozen short and thick nails on the drooping head. If this hits a person, even if it is not directly killed, it will definitely hammer more than a dozen holes at a time.
Overall, this thing is a very domineering golden axe. It feels like you have a great momentum as long as you hold it in your hand. Of course, not everyone can play with this thing. After all, such a big piece of iron lump is absolutely considerable when you wield it.
"Is this what you said about the apology gift?" I asked looking at the axe.
When I asked, Zhenhong walked over with a little excitement, but she did not touch the thing directly, but turned to look at me and asked, "Can you try it?"
The savage leader over there immediately ran over and said, "This is the apology gift I want to give you, so of course it can be used, but I will agree first. This magic axe is very heavy. If you can't pick it up, I won't blame me."
Of course I didn't respond to that guy like this. After all, we still have a strange woman here. Even if this thing is pure gold, don't expect that it will be impossible to get a real red one.
Ignoring that guy, I nodded directly and signaled that Zhenhong could touch her. Zhenhong immediately rubbed her hands excitedly and walked around the thing twice, then held the long handle of the thing with both hands and lifted it up.
After pausing, Zhenhong didn't lift this thing up. This result made us all stunned. The savage leader looked at us with a smirk. I now understand the reason why this guy was going to give us this thing. I guess he couldn't pick it up at all, so he was so generous. Although he was shocked by our strength before, the savage leader did not really intend to bow to us, but just wanted to send us away.
Although she didn't pull it up completely for the first time, Zhenhong did not intend to give up. This time she adjusted her posture. Then she held the long handle of the battle axe with both hands and started exerting force. The way she used it before was actually to rely on the arm strength to lift it up, while this time she used the strength of the waist and legs, which was naturally much greater than the simple arm strength.
As Zhenhong exerted force suddenly, there was only a click, and the stone slab under her feet was directly trampled, and the battle axe was finally lifted upwards in Zhenhong's hand.
The bottom of the golden giant axe was probably fixed before. It was not simply because it was too heavy to pull it up, but as it was lifted up a little more this time, the fixed position was obviously separated, and the remaining part would not require too much power. Zhenhong simply lifted the giant axe up.
After lifting it up, Zhenhong immediately excitedly held the giant axe and waved it horizontally in her hand. Only a sound of breaking the wind was heard, a golden arc of light flew out horizontally, and the leader of the savage directly squatted down with his head in his arms. The arc of light was moving forward, first cutting off the upper half of a house, and then flew into the woods behind. After a few seconds, he saw that the house began to collapse, and the trees behind also fell one after another. It was this simple axe that actually opened a passage directly in the forest behind.
"Damn, your axe is too cruel, right?" Zhenhong looked at the golden axe in her hand and couldn't believe that all the things in front of her were caused by herself. She had not seen high-end weapons before, but they were all short-type weapons. This was the first time she saw such a large-sized high-end weapon. Moreover, she just swung the light arc just now, and she had no skills at all. In theory, that kind of thing shouldn't have appeared, but this obvious forest passage is the best proof.
"Good thing," said Christina. "It's so hot, it seems you're going to take advantage of it. You probably can use this thing here."
Although the fist is really powerful, no one will think that there are too many good weapons, right? Generally speaking, advanced weapons are often of special use. Especially heavy weapons, which are of special use in violent dismantling and sabotaging mechanisms.
Faced with such powerful weapons, ordinary people will definitely not be able to bear the attack of such things, and the attack mode of this axe just now was obviously ordinary attack. That is, the axe in the club can release this light arc without activate the skills. This is definitely a ability to greatly improve combat effectiveness. Such a good thing is just an apology and compensation made by a group of savages hitting us. This feeling is like picking up for free.
"Okay, we are very satisfied with this thing. Even if we accept your apology, this thing will be ours in the future." I looked at the savage leader and said.
The other party looked at us with some reluctance, but after looking at the house that was half missing and the trees behind it, he finally held back his words. He knew that once he regretted it, he probably lost more than this weapon.
Under the default of this unlucky savage leader, we finally left the village with their village treasures. Although the savage leader was angry, he did not take any further action. He even stopped some of the arrangements he had made before, because he already knew that our strength was too much higher than them, and a rash fight would only lead to self-destruction.
After leaving the village, we moved forward directly under the coordinate guidance given by Matsumoto Masaki and others. Although there is no specific coordinate axis to use during the task, this place is a bit good, that is, there is a big mountain slightly farther away. The mountain is very high, and there is a horizontal part on the top of the mountain. This thing is like a road sign standing there, and everyone can see it as long as they climb up the treetops. Therefore, the coordinate axis established by Masaki Masaki was used by Masaki, and soon let us know the relative position of ourselves and them.
In fact, this relative position is not very accurate. But as long as it is probably correct, we have many ways to scan each other within a certain range.
As Matsumoto Masaki and his friends kept correcting the deviation for us, we quickly met them in the central forest area, but we couldn't stop after meeting, but we still needed to continue walking because the destination this time was not this place.
"What is your mission?" After finally meeting, Zhenhong couldn't help asking. She had wanted to know it before.
The gold coins did not answer, but Masaga Matsumoto explained: "Actually, anything is very simple." When Masaga Masaga said this, he suddenly signaled. Then the gold coins took out a badge from the mezzanine of the clothes.
"What is this?" Christina asked. "I felt a huge magic fluctuation on it."
Masaga Matsumoto said: "This is a mission item, a magic badge carved from a very huge energy crystal. It can use magic itself and it is extremely powerful. But our mission is to take this thing to the crater and throw it down."
"Why does it sound like the story of Lord of the Rings?" Christina said again.
"There is a little different." Matsumoto Masaga said: "There is a Vulcan in the volcano over there. Although this thing is to be thrown down, the main purpose is not to destroy it, but to return this thing to the Vulcan. After that, this thing can be exchanged for the Vulcan forgiveness, and the Vulcan will relieve his curse on the NPCs in the place where we took the mission before. Anyway, as long as this thing is delivered, our mission will be completed."
"What a pity, if this is not a task item, I want to take it for myself." Looking at the attributes of this badge, I found that there are quite a few attributes listed on this thing. If this thing can be brought out for equipment, it is definitely a treasure that is even more magical than a magical tool. Unfortunately, let alone taking it out. Even in this task, the attributes of this thing still contain the eight words "Task props cannot be equipped".
Although this thing is a mission prop, it does not prevent us from checking its attributes. To be honest, the attributes of this thing are so beautiful that we all sigh that such a good thing must be handed over. I really want to wait until the mission is completed before turning back to kill the Vulcan and get this thing back.
Of course, this is just our delusion. First, the Fire God is not so easy to solve, and second, since the other party is a god, his intelligence should be fine, so the other party will only hide when injured. When the other party is injured, he will not be able to move through the underground appearance pipeline. If that is the case, we will be miserable. The Fire God may appear from somewhere, so it will be difficult to catch him. Besides, even if the other party does not run away, he will kill a god here. That is not a simple matter. In addition, don’t forget that there are the existence of the Ghost Nobunaga and the group of people behind us. This is a real threat, and it is not possible to not think of some solutions.
Although there are many threats, it is when we snatch this thing. As long as we honestly ask for a task, the difficulty of this task is actually not high. The real difficulty is just like what Matsumoto Masaga and Jinko said before, those creatures living here are the real dangers.
After the meeting, everyone started to move. Anyway, when they encountered problems, they just solved them. With our strength, ordinary wild animals will not easily hurt us. However, the current situation cannot be said to be accurate. Approaching this place is the mission space, which is different from the outside world. The main game map outside is managed by the system through rules. Those rules are absolute restrictions, no exceptions are allowed, and the main system itself rarely interferes directly in the matter on the main map. However, the mission space is different. If it is a single-player task, the system can even change the internal time flow rate, etc. In short, this task time has a high degree of freedom for the system, and anything may happen.
We walked along the way and said that after walking about three or four kilometers, we suddenly heard a loud bang from behind, and then we saw a cigarette rising up, obviously somewhere exploded.
In fact, we can probably guess what it is, because after the convergence, Matsumoto Masaki and others once laid a large number of mines near the exit of the underground world there, and the explosion just now was probably someone who stepped on one. Although those were not liquefied magic crystal steam, their power should not be underestimated. Otherwise, they would not have heard such a loud explosion from such a distance.
"It looks like your little gift works." Christina said, looking back in the direction behind her.
August Xun smiled and said, "Actually, the gift we designed is not as simple as this bomb."
"What else have you arranged?" Zhenhong asked.
Matsumoto Masaki said with a proud smile: "We have set up a lot of monster-induced incense in the forest over there. After we left, there should be a lot of monsters gathered there. There were no people there just now, so there should be no problem, but once those Ghost Nobunaga's people appear, they will just go directly into the monsters' cages and will definitely be attacked."
Just as Ghost Nobunaga and the others were rushing forward in a mess, we finally arrived at the reserved location, which was at the foot of the mountain.
This is a mountain that looks very tall, but its structure is quite special. Generally speaking, there are plants on the mountain, and the plants on the mountain will also change their species according to the altitude. From the bottom, you can find some relatively clear plant areas in different regions. This is to use the higher the mountain, the colder the growing plants are divided into several layers.
However, the characteristics of the mountain in front of you are just opposite to the ordinary mountain peaks. The foot of the mountain here is full of cold-distance plants, and the more plants you go up, the more plants you get, the less you look at the foot of the mountain.
I attribute this strange phenomenon to the heat distribution problem caused by volcanoes. Although the temperature at high places is generally lower, because there is a volcano below, the central location is connected to the lava cavity, and the internal temperature can be along the lava cavity. In the principle of hot air rising, it naturally rises along the pipeline, so that the top part of the mountain with an air outlet becomes hotter. In this way, the higher the plants, the more they tend to be more tropical plants.
Although the plants here are very strange, our target is not outside the mountain, but inside the mountain, so we directly searched for the entrance position on the mountain.
According to the previous task introduction, there was no mention of the entrance to this place. However, according to what the previous NPC told Matsumoto Masaki and others, this place definitely has an entrance, so we need to look for it carefully.
After thinking about it, this entrance is always very difficult to find. We searched back and forth on the mountain for many times, and even the big enough stone was lifted up by us to see if there was a hole underneath. Unfortunately, we didn't find any entrance at all.
"Did you miss something before?" Christina asked anxiously.
Masaga Matsumoto grabbed his hair and said, "No! We didn't need to play hostile parties with the gold coins before. So the mission went smoothly, so there should be no problems."
"But we have been searching here until now, but we have not found any entrances and exits. This is obviously because there is something wrong with your information."
"But we really didn't miss anything!" Jin Coin also said.
Christina suggested: "You think about it carefully, some details may not be clear, but some special statements or something else should be given. In short, the way this door should be opened should be very special."
Hearing Christina say this, Matsumoto Masaga and Jinzi and others began to lower their heads and think. After thinking for a while, Jinzi suddenly looked at Masaga Masaga Masaga and asked, "By the way, Masaga Masaga, do you remember the woodcutter we met before?"
"Woodman?" Masaga Matsumoto was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted and dealt with him after a while: "I understand. Everyone, please scatter out and find those big trees. Some big trees may be the entrance underneath."
"Big Tree?" We looked at Matsumoto Masaga in surprise and wondered what he was selling in the gourd.
Seeing us so confused, Matsumoto Masaga immediately explained: "Actually, it was a woodcutter we met before we met you. When the guy was chatting with us, he said that there was a cellar in his backyard, which was originally used to store vegetables, but later they dug a new one, and the old one was not used. As a result, after a few years, the entrance of the cave was blocked by a big tree. The plants in this place grew very quickly."
"That means that the hole here may have been blocked, right?" Christina asked.
"It should be like this." Masaga Matsumoto confirmed: "At least we can think of this now, so you all hurry up and look for it!"
After getting such an answer, we had to look for it separately. This time, I didn't care whether it was convenient or not, so I directly scattered all the ghost insects and started to help find the entrance. Not to mention, I finally found an entrance according to Masaki Matsumoto.
The entrance of this place is a vertical downward passage, but after the passage drops for more than two meters, it begins to tilt downward and penetrate deeper. Because the entrance is vertical, the seeds of a big tree fell into it, and as a result, a raised part on the wall at the entrance of the hole began to grow. As a result, the seed finally grew into a big tree, which actually sealed the entire entrance. This is why we couldn't find this entrance at the beginning. After all, no one would have thought that the entrance would be filled with a big tree!
After confirming the entrance location, the remaining part was much shorter. Zhenhong used the axe she had just received and put down the big tree with an axe. Then we pulled the remaining part out from under the ground and cleaned up the soil that collapsed from the entrance below.
This entrance was not useful for a long time after it was repaired. In addition, the roots of the big tree were drilled everywhere, and the walls and ceiling were no longer like this. A large amount of soil fell down and lifted the ground up a lot. Some of our initial functions were crawling on the ground because they were not high enough to stand up.
After moving forward along the passage, we heard a sound behind us. It was obvious that Ghost Nobunaga and the others were chasing us. I don’t know what, these guys actually increased their speed significantly after we overtook them.
Rose inferred that the reason why Ghost Nobunaga and his friends suddenly accelerated, there should be two reasons. One is that they discovered traces of our journey while continuing to move forward after the battle, and Ghost Nobunaga knew that we had surpassed them. In this case, Ghost Nobunaga naturally did not dare to neglect. He could only continue to urge the acceleration, but the result was that these people's speed increased significantly, and they rushed forward a little slower along the way, and did not catch up with us.
In addition to the above reasons, Rose guessed that Nobunaga and his team had a faster speed, that is, the number of people in the team has decreased.
The more people the large army marched, the slower the speed. The first one was more than ten people from Ghostou Nobunaga and others. During the battle, there were constant deaths in people. Now there must be only a single digit, and maybe less than five. In this case, Ghostou Nobunaga and others were naturally faster. After all, the lonely spirit outside was specifically attacking the weakest, so all the weak players died. The remaining humans have good physical properties, so naturally the movement speed is much faster.
Faced with the acceleration of Ghost Nobunaga and others, we did not dare to neglect it. We all accelerated and climbed forward. Soon the road became spacious. Everyone accelerated and ran forward. They deliberately threw some blood on the way, making Ghost Nobunaga and others see these things and think that we were fighting here. Moreover, we would use our skills to collapse a passage from time to time, in order to slow down the guys behind. Of course, this method cannot last long, and we will be caught up sooner or later.
Of course, even if we catch up, we are not afraid. We have already made plans. After waiting for Nobunaga and the others to come up, I can start to cheat Nobunaga. This time, Nobunaga caused such a big mess for us, so we can't just let it go. We must let him have a better memory.
After continuing to move forward for a while, the temperature in the passage began to rise significantly, and it was obviously close to the lava pool there. However, at this time the passage suddenly turned into a huge cave, which was difficult to defend and not to cause landslides. I could only think of other methods.
"How far is it ahead?" I asked the gold coins.
“At most one thousand meters.”
I pondered for a moment and said, "Don't run away. Just divide the troops here."
"Split the troops?" Jin Qin looked at me in surprise.
"Didn't I tell you before? I want to cheat Nobunaga. This is already at the end of the mission, and your statement is that the mission itself is not dangerous, the environment is dangerous, so there should be no big problem here. If you go to the mission to perform the gold coins, the rest of us will help you fight Nobunaga behind it, so you should be able to complete the mission, right?"
To be continued...
