Chapter 68

The entrance to the second floor is very narrow, with a width that can only accommodate one person, not to mention the uneven stone walls on both sides, which feel like a mountain stream formed naturally without artificial carving. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

An Yizhi pointed at the light technique, a translucent magic shield faintly appeared in front of him, and a churning and burning fiery magic ball was condensed in his left hand, always alert to possible emergencies.

As for John's pit, he doesn't even know how to light or mage armor......

For the sake of insurance, An Yizhi consciously walked in the forefront. John followed closely behind him, for fear that Ann would walk away.

"It reminds me of that field test in second grade, do you remember? On that expedition to the ruins of the dwarven Moyaden pits, spiders the size of a plate actually made webs in my tent! I was so scared that I couldn't sleep well for several days. Another time I went to the grave chamber of the Third Age Lich, and thanks to you taking me to hide in the sarcophagus, I was not discovered by the ghouls. Before graduation, I went to the Emerald Forest, and that time was also ......"

The road is narrow and the view is limited. was already very depressed, and An Yizhi's nerves were tense. But the companion who accompanied him still couldn't stop chattering, maybe John used this method to relieve his fear?

In the spirit of thinking that it doesn't hurt to know more about the front-line intelligence, he didn't stop John from babbling endlessly. However, he couldn't interject, so he could only listen in silence as John recounted the past between him and Ann Yizhi.

Now An Yizhi doesn't know that there is such a hidden setting about the player's identity background in the game of the brave, he only feels that the background setting of the copy is really detailed, and Shenwei Company is also fighting hard to ensure the player's sense of substitution......

The Mines of Moadin, the Lich Tomb of the Third Age, the Emerald Forest, and many other dangerous places with danger and opportunity, as well as powerful characters from John's mouth.

An Yizhi silently wrote down these, maybe it will be useful in the future?

The narrow road is not very long, and there are no dangers on this part of the road, except for some unevenness that makes it difficult to walk.

Through a triangular gap, Ann and John came to the second level of the true Tower of Trials.

【Main Quest Update】

【Through the second layer, 葠 & destroy the * maze】

What maze?

An Yi pointed and secretly opened the task panel to check.

He found that the name of the maze could not be displayed correctly, and the picture was somewhat distorted and misplaced, and a bunch of garbled characters appeared. So I sent a message to the system to detect bugs.

This is also a feature added after the open beta to help players identify and eliminate bugs.

Soon, the system sent back feedback.

[Dear players, hello. The copy you're on is fine and doesn't have any errors.]

No bugs? How do you explain that pile of garbled characters?

The actual second labyrinth is much wider than the entrance, a full ten meters wide, and the walls seem to be made of a single piece of rock, and there are no joints at all, only a torch every 20 meters or so is considered decoration. It's just that I don't know if it's because of some special magic effects, those torches can only illuminate a small area, and even the burning seems a little weak.

"The content of each exam in the Tower of the Stars is confidential and difficult to find out. I begged my dad for a long time but didn't get any useful news, and I almost got into a rut...... Do you hear that? ”

John, who was talking loudly, suddenly discovered something, swallowed his saliva and said with some fear.

"What?"

"Over there, there seems to be something in the dark."

Ann pointed and looked over, but all he could see was the deep darkness. I couldn't see anything at all, and I didn't hear any movement.

"You heard me wrong, relax"

Having said that, An Yizhi still secretly cheered up.

He believes that the NPCs under the control of the system will not be untargeted, and in an environment where the field of vision is only about 5 meters, John's ability to spot a 'foreign object' in the dark is probably a reminder that players should be careful!

"Don't get too far away from me, you take out the rope and be ready to activate the rope at any time"

John nodded, pulling out a bundle of rope and clutching it - he only had one skill that could protect him at any time.

The two of them walked along the passage, and along the way, An Yizhi also heard what John said. What's even more terrifying is that sometimes the movement is in front of them, sometimes it runs behind them.

It's not that John misheard, there was something in the darkness.

"Go to the front torch and take a break, it's almost time for the Illumination Technique"

The Illumination Technique takes 30 seconds of CD time, and the effect can last for 10 minutes, after all, only level 1 can't ask for too much.

John had no objections, he didn't have any opinions at all, and he would listen to whatever Ann said.

Picking up the speed of their feet slightly, the two of them walked towards the light source at the torch.

"Ahh

At this moment, when An Yi's front foot stepped into the 'aperture' formed by the torch, the light technique above his head that was supposed to have dozens of seconds left before the end time suddenly went out, and then John's exclamation was immediately heard!

As if dragged by the darkness, he leaned back, and his hands subconsciously stretched forward, like a big fish caught in a fishhook.

As for the activation rope...... He had long forgotten about his grandmother's house.

At the critical moment, Ann Yizhi reacted extremely quickly, grabbed John's right hand and pulled it hard.

"It's broken! My hair is breaking! ”

Fortunately, the unknown creature that dragged John was not strong, and with only 2 points of strength, it was only slightly inferior, otherwise I am afraid that even An Yizhi would be dragged into the darkness together.

"Turn your head to the left!"

Hearing An Yizhi's order, John subconsciously turned his head away, and grinned in pain from the tearing of his hair that was caught.

Carefully controlling the direction, the blazing orb that had been churning in the palm of An Yizhi's left hand flew past John's cheek, and a low roar of pain came from the darkness behind him.

The burning of the Blazing Orb loosened John's strength, and An Yizhi took the opportunity to use both hands to pull John into the range of the light source under the torch.

At this time, the unknown creature lurking in the darkness was still not far away, and it tried to step into the firelight, and An Yiyi pointed to see a pair of terrifying rotten ghost hands similar to the color of black mud and scratched a few times in the air.

"Unstable Compound!"

Two test tubes mixed with explosive liquid were thrown, causing a violent storm that even knocked John, who was closest to the monster, to the ground, and the ghost hands shrank back.

An Yizhi didn't dare to be careless, the unstable compound didn't hurt in the first place, and that blow was just to prevent John from being caught by the 'ghost hand' again. If you don't deal with it quickly, it's not a pleasure to be targeted by a haunting monster that hunts in the dark.

The enemy is dark and I am clear, and An Yizhi chose a range attack.

"Roll !!"

The roar was like thunder, and the rolling sound waves came out with angry shouts, and the rolling words resounded throughout the passage.

The roaring technique was activated, and the effect was so strong that even An Yizhi, who was the caster, felt his ears buzz a little.

【You killed the Labyrinth Ghost】

Hearing the system prompt, An Yizhi knew that he was finally safe for the time being.

Picking out his itchy ear, Ann pulled John up from the ground with one finger.

"Woooooooo Thank you."

This thing actually cried......

"It scared me to death, it was even more terrible than the last time I drilled into the tomb"

That's a point......

"Don't cry, it's okay, it's easy to attract monsters if you cry again"

As soon as John heard that it might attract a monster, he immediately tried to hold back his tears, although the effect was not too great. Crying is called a sad heart, tears and snot all over the face.

I really want to leave him to fend for himself......

Let John live here alone for absolutely no more than five minutes, if it weren't for the side quest reward, An Yizhi would have left him alone.

Anyway, the roaring technique is slightly more powerful, or is it because the phantom of the maze has a sensitive sense of hearing, so it is so effective? The strength is also very weak, but the elusive attack method is really a headache.

An Yizhi carefully recalled the section of the player's manual about monsters, and found no record of the maze ghosts.

The monster introduction in the player's manual is not complete, and most of the monsters have no information, such as the maze ghost, so An Yizhi can only guess.

"Did you know there's a monster called Labyrinth Ghost?"

"Yes, yes, yes, a monster that can move quickly through walls in a place where there is no light."

John sobbed and answered Ann's question.

It's finally a little useful, and sure enough, no matter how much firewood is wasted, it has a bit of a role.

John, who didn't know that Ann had already treated him as a waste in his heart, continued:

"They're undead, they have a very, very keen sense of hearing, and they can hear very small sounds. Fear of light"

Photophobia? No wonder there's no way to get into the light source. So the torch along the way is equivalent to a safe zone?

"Did you bring a towel? Wipe your face quickly. We're going to move on."

"Hmm, uh-huh......"

Now that you know the weakness of the Labyrinth Ghost, there is naturally a way to deal with it. It's unclear how many are left in the labyrinth, and it's likely that John will be sad again if he continues to act in the same way he did before. So while John was wiping his face, An Yizhi took out an oil lamp-shaped prop from his dimensional pocket.

【Disposable two-way oil lamp】

Quality: Consumables

Effect: Cannot be turned off after starting, it can only emit light in the front and rear directions at the same time, and the light can pass through obstacles for 1 hour.

Description: Hell of it! Why is the grocery store next door doing better business than me! BY - the manager of the magic item shop

It also belongs to the finished product of disorderly training, and there are two more of the same things, which should be enough for the labyrinth on the second layer.

Flip the switch under the oil lamp, and a pale yellow light shines out. However, just like the Light Technique, it suddenly disappears at a distance of about 5 meters, and cannot illuminate further.

"You're holding this"

Something that has been a chicken rib since the Book of Eternal Light is now in use. Taking advantage of its ability to ignore obstacles, allowing John to hold it can prevent him from being attacked from behind by the Labyrinth Ghost.

"Illumination"

【Skill Release Failed】

An was stunned for a moment, he was fine just now, why did he fail?
