Chapter 2 Digging to Survive

Compared with other demon souls and their innate abilities, the innate abilities of Soul of Destruction can be described as very rubbish in the early game.

Because of the lack of resources in the early stage, it is difficult to survive. How can there be energy to decompose materials?

But as a player who passed the internal test, Xia Chengfeng knew very well how important it was to have the ability to decompose in the later stage!

When the resources are sufficient to survive, it is necessary to build a survival base, equipment, etc., which requires all kinds of rare materials, and these materials are difficult to collect.

If you have the ability to decompose, you can gather the materials in the fastest time and hit the target.

As for the problem of survival in the early stage, Xia Chengfeng believes that as a senior player, it is impossible for him to pass the first level!

"Choose to fuse the soul of destruction!" Xia Chengfeng made a choice.

Game prompt: "The soul of destruction is being merged, please keep your mind clear, if you fail, your mind will be occupied by the devil soul!"

"There is still 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, and we will pay attention to it in the future.

At the bottom of the burrow, a phantom suddenly appeared, and it penetrated directly into Xia Chengfeng's body.

In Xia Chengfeng's mind, some vague fragments appeared.

As if there was an ancient evil god, it whispered in the abyss, spreading indescribable fear to the world!

"Submit to me, and I will give you eternal life, an immortal body!" A voice tempted him in his brain.

"Submit your ass, if you can be immortal, will you become a remnant soul?" Xia Chengfeng spat.

The Demon Soul seemed to be provoked by him and began to impact his consciousness.

Xia Chengfeng felt like a boat in a storm, surrounded by turbulent waves, and the deep sea seemed to devour him!

He gritted his teeth and insisted, thinking in his heart: "All bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods are paper tigers!"

After a while, the impact of the demon soul became weaker and weaker, and the storm gradually subsided.

Game prompt: "You have successfully fused the Soul of Destruction (one star) to obtain the innate ability - Destruction of the Evil Eye."

On the panel, it has been shown that he has a demon soul, and his talent is first-order.

Xia Chengfeng saw that there was a label on it: [Devouring other demon souls can make demon souls grow. But be careful, swallowing powerful demon souls may encounter backlash! 】

"Can you devour other people's demon souls?" Xia Chengfeng was worried when he saw this.

According to the prompt, all human beings have entered the cave world, and everyone has merged with the devil soul. Doesn't this mean that in the future, we will not only face the dangers of the cave world, but also face the attacks of our fellow human beings?

"It doesn't matter, that's for the future, take care of the present 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, without any auxiliary ability, and the workmanship is extremely rough. It cannot hit rocks."

"Durability: 100. (The shovel will be damaged when the durability is zero.)"

"No, I should still have a space bubble to place 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 cave, 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!"

"It turns out to be like this." Xia Chengfeng looked at the space, it was probably a 5×5×5 space, and the scope was very small.

The system continued: "Using space crystals can increase the space size of space bubbles."

"By the way, where's my spree?" Xia Chengfeng asked, "Didn't I get the spree from the beta test?"

System: "The spree has been sent, please check."

In the space where he was, an unlocked wooden box appeared. When Xia Chengfeng opened the wooden box, there was a crystal ball the size of a fist.

A manual is attached below.

The information from the crystal ball appeared in front of Xia Chengfeng:

"[Divination crystal ball]: It can be used to divination the future and obtain the omens of the future. Divination will consume mental power, and the accuracy is related to the strength of the fortune teller."

"[Instruction Manual]: Before each use, make sure that you are full of energy and there is no danger around. Hold the crystal ball in your hand, and think about the things you want to divination, and the relevant information will be displayed on the crystal ball."

"It's actually a metaphysical prop!" Xia Chengfeng was overjoyed. The role of this metaphysical prop can be big or small, the key is how to use it!

The best way to use it now is to use it to estimate the information in the cave world!

For newbies, every burrow is dangerous! If you are not careful, you will die!

If you can predict fortunes and misfortunes, your chances of survival will be greatly improved!

The system prompts: "You can choose six directions to dig up, down, left, right, front, and back, and a hole will be dug in each direction."

"Don't worry, let's do a divination first!" Xia Chengfeng held the divination crystal ball and faced forward, thinking to himself, "If I dig forward, what will happen?"

He felt that the crystal ball took away a certain amount of his spiritual power, which left him empty for a while, as if he had suddenly entered the time of a sage.

If you come a few times, I'm afraid your body won't be able to withstand it!

The crystal ball gradually changed color and turned into a black mass, with a sentence written on it: "There is a dead air ahead, there may be dangerous undead sleeping, they just want to get your body!"

"Dangerous!" Xia Chengfeng recalled the information from the game before, there are many kinds of undead in the cave world.

Generally, newcomers will not encounter very powerful undead at the beginning, at most a skeleton, a zombie or something, a senior vampire duke, an unknown red-haired monster in his later years, etc., will not appear near the newcomer.

But thinking that he can't do anything now, the weapon is only a shovel, even a skeleton monster is difficult to fight, you can dig, but it is not necessary.

Xia Chengfeng started the second divination, "If I dig to the left, what will appear?"

The crystal ball sucked another wave of his spiritual power, and he felt as if he had been in an Internet cafe all night, exhausted and could fall asleep.

The crystal ball turned gray, and the prompt read: "A hard rock is blocking your way. Can you turn back if you hit the south wall?"

"There is a rock ahead, and now I can't dig it!" Xia Chengfeng knew very well that if he digged in this direction, it might be a waste of effort.

If he could dig a rock, there must be a hole in the back, but he lacks tools now.

"I can't take it anymore, let's rest first." Xia Chengfeng felt heavy and sleepy, he closed his eyes, and worried about the sudden danger, he didn't dare to really fall asleep.

After squinting for dozens of minutes, Xia Chengfeng had difficulty breathing and was hungry.

On his personal status bar: "Current status: mild hunger, mild dehydration, mild mental exhaustion. Physical strength: 9."

"Go to work quickly!" He knew that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise the suffocation of the air would make him suffocate before he died of starvation!

Xia Chengfeng clenched the crystal ball again: "If I dig to the back, what will happen?"

After another burst of emptiness, the crystal ball turned green, and it said: "The space nurtured by vitality, green, makes you strong!"

"There may be food! Just digging backwards!"

Xia Chengfeng immediately started work and excavated.

The soil here is relatively soft and easy to dig. If the elderly, children, women, etc. have poor physical strength, the soil near the burrow where they were born is even easier to dig, and resources such as food and water are more likely to appear, which will help them survive. .

"Physical strength -1, soil resources +1." The system prompt appeared in Xia Chengfeng's mind.

His physical strength is constantly decreasing, and the excavated soil is piled up in his own small space.

Dirt resources can be used for farming, making pottery, bricks, etc., but they are also the most space-consuming resources and can be thrown away when they are not needed.

After exhausted panting and sweating profusely, Xia Chengfeng, who spent four points of physical strength, finally dug a hole in the ground.

He jumped down from the hole, and the space was more than double his initial space. At this time, his initial space has become a space imprint, printed on the back of his hand, and he can enter at any time to store supplies.

Now, there is some dirt and air inside.

This space, as the divination crystal ball said, is overgrown with vine-like plants.

They absorb the light of the space bubble, grow tenaciously, and there are some fist-sized, red berries between the branches and leaves.

"Red berry fruit!" Xia Chengfeng had eaten this fruit in the game before. This is a common food in the cave world. It is non-toxic, slightly sweet, and can replenish vitamins, sugar and moisture.

Xia Chengfeng immediately ate one, it was fresh, juicy, sweet and delicious, which made him feel good.

There are about 50 red berries here, save some to eat, and he can survive for a week!

"In addition to red berries, this red plum vine is also a good thing!" Xia Chengfeng was going to dig some vines and plant them in his own space bubble.

This vine is tenacious and easy to grow. In addition, it can provide enough oxygen for space bubbles.

After resting for a while, Xia Chengfeng's physical strength basically recovered, and his hunger and thirst were relieved.

At this time, the system sounded again: "All players please pay attention."

"More than one billion people have dug the first underground cave, and "Crypt World" will open a world forum."

"Current players can communicate and trade in the forums in their area to survive better."

Xia Chengfeng opened the panel, and as expected, he found that there was an additional game forum function.

He turned it on. This thing is no different from other online forums. Currently, only two sections are open.

The first is the 2222 regional information plate, and the second is the 2222 regional trading plate.

The system prompts: "There are 3,000 players in each area, and the local cave world will expand to a certain extent when it is explored."

"There are 3,000 people in an area, and I don't know how big the area is." Xia Chengfeng immediately entered the information section, which showed that his default name was Xia Chengfeng, and there was a chance to modify it.

Xia Chengfeng didn't want to reveal his identity, so he put on a vest and called him "Qingfeng".

The forum has just opened, and the information section has already been swiped by hundreds of posts! All from the human players who were pulled into this world!
