Chapter 2 Digging to Survive
Compared with other demon souls and their innate abilities, the innate abilities of the Destroyed Soul is very trash in the early stage of the game.
Because of the shortage of resources in the early stage, it is difficult to survive, so how can you have the energy to break down the materials?
But as a player who passed the internal test, Xia Chengfeng knew very well how important it is to have decomposition ability in the later stage!
When resources meet the needs of survival, a survival base, equipment, etc. is required, and various rare materials are difficult to collect.
If you have the ability to decompose, you can collect materials as quickly as possible and make them into targets.
As for the early survival issues, Xia Chengfeng believes that as a veteran player, he cannot even be able to pass the first level!
"Choose the Soul of Fusion!" Xia Chengfeng made a choice.
Game prompts: "The Destroyed Soul is being fused, please stay awake. Once you fail, your mind will be occupied by the demon soul!"
"Is there a chance of failure?" Xia Chengfeng was surprised. During the internal test, the game did not have this setting.
There must be some changes in the public beta, so you should pay attention to it in the future.
A phantom suddenly emerged from the underground cave, and it directly penetrated into Xia Chengfeng's body.
In Xia Chengfeng's mind, some vague fragments appeared.
It seems like there is an ancient evil god, whispering in the abyss, spreading indescribable fear to the world!
"Submit to me, I will give you eternal life and an immortal body!" A voice tempted in his mind.
"I'm just surrendering. If you can immortalize, will you become a remnant soul?" Xia Chengfeng complained.
The demon soul seemed to be angry with him and began to impact his consciousness.
Xia Chengfeng felt like a small boat in a storm, surrounded by stormy waves, and the deep sea seemed to be about to swallow him!
He gritted his teeth and persevered, silently reciting in his heart: "All monsters and monsters are paper tigers!"
After a moment, the impact of the demon soul became weaker and weaker, and the storm gradually subsided.
Game prompt: "You have successfully merged with the Soul of Destruction (one star) and gained the talented ability - Destruction Evil Eye."
On the panel, it has been shown that he has a demon soul and his talent is first-level.
Xia Chengfeng saw that there was also a mark on it: [Devouring other demon souls can allow demon souls to grow. But be careful that devouring powerful demon souls may encounter backlash!]
"Can you still devour other people's demon souls?" Xia Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw this.
According to the prompt, all human beings have entered the world of caves, and everyone has merged with the demon soul. Doesn’t this mean that in the future, they will not only face the danger of the world of caves, but also face attacks from the same tribe who are also humans?
"No matter what, that's the future, let's take care of the situation first."
Xia Chengfeng picked up the shovel on the ground, and the message of the shovel appeared in front of him:
"【Ordinary shovel】: A very ordinary shovel with no auxiliary capabilities and extremely rough workmanship. It cannot knock on rocks."
"Durability: 100. (The shovel will be damaged when the durability is zero.)"
"No, I should have a space to store supplies and build a survival base." Xia Chengfeng asked the system.
The system prompts: "The space you are currently in is your space bubble. When you leave this hole, it will be printed on the back of your hand in the form of a space inscription. Please leave the current space as soon as possible!"
"So that's how it is." Xia Chengfeng looked at the space, which was about 5×5×5 space, with a very small range.
The system continued: "Using space crystallization can increase the size of the space bubble."
"By the way, where is my big gift bag?" Xia Chengfeng asked, "Didn't I get the big gift bag in the internal test?"
System: "The big gift package has been sent, please check it."
In the space where he was, a lockless wooden box appeared. When Xia Chengfeng opened the wooden box, there was a fist-sized crystal ball inside, and there was also an instruction manual attached below.
Information about a crystal ball appearing in front of Xia Chengfeng:
"【Divine Crystal Ball】: It can be used to divine the future and obtain the omen of the future. Divination will consume spiritual power, and the accuracy is related to the strength of the diviner."
"【Instruction Manual】: Make sure you are full of energy before each use and there is no danger around you. Hold the crystal ball in your hand and think about what you want to divine. Relevant information will be displayed on the crystal ball."
"It's actually a metaphysical prop!" Xia Chengfeng was delighted. The effect of this metaphysical prop can be big or small, and the key depends on how to use it!
The best way to use it now is to use it to estimate the information in the cave world!
For novices, every hole is in danger! If you are not careful, you will die!
If you can predict good and misfortune, it will greatly increase your chances of survival!
The system prompts: "You can choose to dig up, down, left, right, front and back six directions, and holes will be dug out in each direction."
"Don't worry, let's divine first!" Xia Chengfeng held the divination crystal ball in his hand and faced forward, thinking in his heart: "If I dig forward, what will happen?"
He felt that the crystal ball had taken away a certain amount of his spiritual power, which made him feel empty, as if he had suddenly entered the sage time.
If I come here a few times, I am afraid my body will not be able to hold it back!
The crystal ball gradually changed color and turned into a ball of black, with a sentence written on it: "The dead spirit in front of you is filled with death, and there may be dangerous undead sleeping, they just want to get your body!"
"There is danger!" Xia Chengfeng recalled the information he had played the game before, and there were many types of undead in the cave world.
Generally, newcomers will not encounter very powerful undead at the beginning. At most, they will be skeletons, zombies, or other high-level vampire dukes, and unknown red-haired monsters in their later years. They will not appear near newcomers.
But thinking that he doesn't know anything now, he just has a shovel of weapons. Even a skeleton monster is difficult to hit and can be dug, but there is no need.
Xia Chengfeng began his second divination, "If I dig to the left, what will happen?"
The crystal ball absorbed another wave of his spiritual power. He felt like he was in an Internet cafe all night, exhausted and could fall asleep after falling back.
The crystal ball turned gray, and the prompt reads: "The hard rock blocks your way. Can you turn back if you hit the south wall?"
"There is a rock ahead, I can't dig it now!" Xia Chengfeng knew very well. If he digs in this direction, it might be a waste of effort.
If he could dig a rock, there would definitely be holes behind him, but he lacked tools now.
"I can't hold it anymore, let's take a break first." Xia Chengfeng felt deeply sleepy. He closed his eyes, worried that there would be a sudden danger, so he dared not really fall asleep.
After sniffing for dozens of minutes, Xia Chengfeng felt difficulty breathing and hungry in his stomach.
On his personal status bar, it shows: "Current status: mild hunger, mild dehydration, mild mental fatigue. Physical strength: 9."
"We have to start work quickly!" He knew that this could not continue, otherwise the suffocation of the air would make him suffocate to death before he was starved to death!
Xia Chengfeng held the crystal ball tightly again: "If I dig back, what will happen?"
After another sense of emptiness, the crystal ball turned green, and it showed on it: "The space that is bred by vitality, green, makes you strong!"
"Maybe there is food! Just dig it backwards!"
Xia Chengfeng immediately started construction and excavation.
The soil here is relatively soft and easy to dig. If it is the elderly, children, women and other people who are in poor physical strength, the soil near the cave where they were born is easier to dig, and it is more likely to appear food and water resources, which will help them survive.
The system prompt "Physical strength-1, soil resources+1." appeared in Xia Chengfeng's mind.
His physical strength is constantly decreasing, and the dirt he excavated is piled up in his small space.
Earth resources can be used to farm, make pottery, bricks, tiles, etc., but they are also the most space-consuming resource and can be thrown away if you don’t need it.
After being exhausted and sweating profusely, Xia Chengfeng, who had spent four points of physical strength, finally dug a hole in the ground.
He jumped from the hole, and the space was more than twice as large as his initial space. At this time, his initial space had become a space mark, imprinted on the back of his hand, and he could enter and store supplies at any time.
Now, some soil and air are stored inside.
This space is as stated by the divination crystal ball, full of vines.
They absorb the light from the bubbles in the space and grow tenaciously. There are some fists-sized red berries between the branches and leaves.
"Cranberry!" Xia Chengfeng had eaten this fruit in the game before. This is a common food in the cave world. It is non-toxic and slightly sweet, and can supplement vitamins, sugar and water.
Xia Chengfeng immediately ate one, which was tender and juicy, sweet and delicious, which made him feel great.
There are about fifty cranberries here, so it will be a week since he can survive!
"In addition to cranberries, this kind of red plum vine is also a good thing!" Xia Chengfeng was preparing to dig some vines and plant them in his own space.
This vine has strong vitality and is easy to plant and live. In addition, it can provide enough oxygen for the space bubble.
After resting for a while, Xia Chengfeng's physical strength was basically restored, and his hunger and thirst were relieved.
At this time, the system again heard a prompt: "All players please pay attention."
"More than one billion people have dug the first cave, and "Grotto World" will open the World Forum."
"Currently players can communicate and trade in forums in their area to survive better."
Xia Chengfeng opened the panel and found that there was an additional function of a game forum.
He opened it, and this thing is no different from other online forums. Currently, only two sections are opened.
The first is the 2222 regional information sector, and the second is the 2222 regional trading sector.
System prompts: "Each area has 3,000 players. If the local cave world is explored within a certain range, the area will be expanded."
"There are 3,000 people in one area, and I don't know how big the area is." Xia Chengfeng immediately entered the information section, and the default name on it showed that his default name was Xia Chengfeng. There is currently a chance to modify it.
Xia Chengfeng did not want to reveal his identity, so he put on a vest, called "Qingfeng".
