Chapter 18 Strange Mission

"How's it going?" The wolf came over and asked about the situation first.

The little eagle didn't even raise his head: "Isn't this all? Take it quickly. Don't count 10 plants per person."

The five of them started to collect moonlight grass separately, and I could only watch from the side. I originally wanted to try to use my super space to help them install it, but I found that the grass would wither immediately as soon as I got close to it. Maybe the mission setting does not allow others to do so. bump.

There are quite a lot of moongrass on the door. After collecting enough, start to open the door. The mechanism is right next to the door, and it's quite obvious. With a slight pull on the handle, the stone door automatically fell outwards like a suspension bridge, and all the moonlight grass turned into vegetable puree. There are a lot of fluorescent stones in the cave, so the light is quite abundant.

"What does this smell like?" I smelled the strange smell in the air.

Xiong said: "Maybe it was closed for too long, and the smell of dead animals comes from it."

"What are you waiting for? Come in?" Xiaoying was more impulsive.

She was about to go in but I grabbed her. "etc."

"What are you doing?" Xiaoying looked at me strangely.

I stopped the wolf and spirit that were entering. "Wait, I remembered, it's swamp smell."

"Swamp gas?"

"Xiao Feng." I waved, and a black crack appeared in the air, and Xiao Feng landed on my hand in the form of a bird of paradise. "Borrow me some feathers."

Xiaofeng held a feather in her mouth and gave it to me. I took it and walked to the entrance of the cave. Let them all move aside, then walk to the cave door and lean against the rock wall, throwing the feathers into the cave. I saw a small group of blue flames floating in the air like a will-o'-the-wisp, and then the flames began to float into the cave.

They were all pinned down by me on the mountain and didn't know what was going on. The wolf asked anxiously: "How's it going?"

"Wait. One, two, three, four, five..." Boom! There was a sudden big explosion in the cave, and a ball of flame flew out of the cave. They were all frightened and squatted down with their heads in their hands.

"It's amazing!" Big Eyes looked at the blackened hole and said, "Fortunately we didn't go in hastily."

The bear also stood up and said: "Yes! It's really dangerous. Can we go in now?"

The others immediately looked at me, and I shook my head: "Not yet."

Summoned again, but this time a tank appeared. They were all startled. "Do you have such a big magic pet?"

"Hey, I'm a beast tamer. If you don't have many magic pets, you won't be able to get away with it!" After saying that, he stood in front of the tank and pointed backwards with his right thumb. "Put some air in it."

The tank immediately pushed up against the hole, and its six legs were stretched and inserted into the ground to fix the body. His chest suddenly began to expand, and then suddenly compressed. In addition to attacking, the air cannon can also be used to blow wind, but the wind force is a bit strong. This guy made a roar in the hole, and then the tank immediately dodged to the side, and another ball of flames spurted out from the hole.

"Why is there a second explosion?"

I smiled and said: "There is insufficient oxygen in the cave, so the explosion is incomplete. However, the remaining heat from the last explosion is accumulated inside. As long as there is enough oxygen, a secondary deflagration will occur immediately. But there should be no problem now. I have already put the remaining heat inside The air was blown out.”

"It's a good thing you came with us for this mission, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to get through the door."

"I just take on a lot of underground missions. Okay, let's go in."

After entering the tunnel, I discovered that this was not a man-made tunnel, but a natural cave. The roads were very complicated and some places were quite narrow. The most annoying thing was that many places were too narrow to pass through. I was pretty good and could barely get through the holes without my armor, but Jixiang and Ruyi were in trouble. Pandas are indeed not big, but they are too fat to get through. Jixiang simply got stuck at the entrance of a hole, with his head inside and body behind. He couldn't get in or get out. He couldn't get through by kicking his four little paws around.

Xiaoying shouted from inside: "I'm pulling here, you guys are pushing from behind."

"Okay." We helped push it in from behind, but Ji Xiang's belly was too big to fit through. We pushed hard outside, and Ji Xiang was chirping there but couldn't get through.

"This damn hole!" I looked at the rocks outside and said, "Little Eagle, use your shield to cover Ji Xiang's head."

"What are you going to do?"

"Just block him and then move away a little bit."

"All right!"

After the little eagle over there was done, I took out the magic dragon gun and shot it at the rock. The spear flew through the wall and flew around the rocks. After a few more patches, the wall turned into a hornet's nest. I kicked the wall several times and found that it still couldn't be penetrated.

The bear said: "I'll do it." He suddenly transformed into a giant bear and slammed into the rock. With a bang, the entire rock was smashed through, and Ji Xiang was immediately free. It's good to have someone with strong strength.

The road after that is almost the same as before, but now we have learned the lesson and go straight through the narrow passage when we see it. Soon we arrived at the mechanism that required many people to open at the same time. The wolf asked strangely: "The mission said there are many monsters in the tunnel? Why didn't we see them along the way?"

"Really? Where have all the monsters gone?" We were all very curious.

In fact, right next to where we were standing, separated only by a five-meter-thick rock and soil wall, there was a large group of monsters. At this time, they were crawling out of the soil with difficulty. We tore down a lot of walls after Ji Xiang was stuck just now. The vibrations during the demolition of the wall collapsed the tunnel where the monsters were hiding. As a result, the monsters were all buried. They are busy crawling out now. Who has time to care about us?

We are now studying the mechanisms on the walls, which are not only things that can be opened by a large number of people. Next to the 12 handles on the wall are different biological patterns, and there is a huge disk on the floor of the cave, with 12 biological patterns evenly distributed on the plate like a clock.

"This is obviously a cryptographic mechanism." Ling quickly determined the situation.

I nodded: "The one on the ground is obviously the clock, and the one on the opposite wall is the control system."

"But what should be done specifically?" Xiaoying asked.

"Don't worry, let me think about it." I looked at it for a long time and then said, "What time is it now?" My system clock is Beijing time, and it must be American time.

"Nine forty."

"That's this and this pattern." At nine forty, the hour and minute hands happened to correspond to the patterns of the two creatures. After finding these two creatures on the wall, I said to them: "The mission said that as long as 10 of the mechanisms are activated, the two extra ones must be the two that don't need to be pulled."

"Then try it once. There won't be any problems if you make the wrong one, right?"

"I don't know, there is no other way anyway, so let's just experiment!"

I summoned Ling, Xiaochun and Jingjing Lingling, so there were 10 of us in total. The five of them were basically used to my endless supply of magic pets, but the sight of four beauties still made the four boys excited for a while.

Choose the handle and I'll give the order: "Three, two, one, pull."

With a click, many spikes appeared on the roof, which were densely covered with the roof, and then all the mechanisms we pulled down rose again.

"It doesn't seem right!"

Big Eyes said: "If you make another mistake, those nails may fall down."

"Ruyi, don't move." Xiaoying suddenly discovered that the naughty Jixiang and Ruyi had stacked up on top of each other to reach the mechanism, but it was too late to shout. When Ruyi reached it and pulled her hand down, our hearts skipped a beat. But there was only a click, and all the long thorns on the top of the head went back, and the disk on the ground suddenly rose, then rotated 90 degrees and began to fall. This time the disc fell all the way down, revealing a tunnel entrance.

"Is this okay?" Xiaoying looked at the two pandas and was completely dumbfounded.

I reminded them: "Hurry in, this kind of mechanism usually closes automatically after a delay."

Everyone listened to the suggestion and hurried down, and the two pandas were lifted down together by the four magic pets I summoned. As soon as we entered, the disk automatically rose up and sealed the entrance. The large group of monsters above rushed to the mechanism room in disgrace. The leading monster shouted to his subordinates in monster language: "Didn't I ask you to 'mess up' the mechanism activation sequence? What's going on?"

The little monster said aggrievedly: "I made a mess! Maybe they bumped into each other!"

"Stop explaining, open the mechanism quickly and let's go after him."

The little monster went to pull the mechanism that Ji Xiang Ruyi had just pulled, and then looked back at Yuanpan, but after a few seconds there was no movement. The little monster turned around in surprise and pushed it up and down, but still nothing happened. In a hurry, he tried to pull the mechanism next to him, but the roof clicked, the spikes came out again, and then the entire roof suddenly fell down. The monster below was more than half smashed before it could even react to what was going on.

At this time, we have moved very far below, but still can't meet the monster. But everyone thought that the monsters must be trying to surprise them, so they were more careful. Little did they know that the monsters were fighting against the mechanism above.

We encountered strange things along the way. First, we encountered a stone golem that could attack automatically. However, after just two cuts, it suddenly stopped. After checking for a long time, we confirmed that the energy had just been exhausted. Later, we came across an agency room and locked us in a small cave to fill with water. Little did we know that there was a mouse hole in the ground and the water drained away! It took us more than an hour to dig the entrance of the cave. After coming out, I encountered a nail board array, and the walls were all squeezed together. As a result, the gears broke, and the mechanism wall stopped with a gap as wide as one person. Along the way, we encountered all kinds of strange mechanisms, almost all of which malfunctioned for various reasons. They were all lamenting that they were lucky today, and of course I knew that 10% of the time it was the reason for the good luck.

What we didn't know was that the monsters chasing us were in bad luck. The mechanisms that had malfunctioned when we passed by along the way were all activated by then, causing the monsters to suffer numerous deaths and injuries without catching up with us.

We also asked Jixiang Ruyi to open the subsequent trap locks. No matter what trap they pulled, they would always open the correct passage. Even choosing forks was 100% correct. The maze was always accessible and never led to a dead end. I never dared to tell them that Ji Xiang Ruyi was the mascot of the guild. I just said that their luck value was relatively high, which made them jealous to death.

After walking through the cave for more than two hours, a stone door with strange symbols finally ended this long and boring tunnel journey. The wolf took out the Book of Ancestral Spirits and unfolded it in front of the door. The things recorded on the scroll were exactly the same as those on the stone door. Although we don’t know what they mean, at least we know the truth. But the problem of opening the door came up again. Good luck didn't help this time, because there was no mechanism to be found. There was really no other way but to use my customary method - smashing the door.

The stone gate is quite strong, but it cannot withstand our indiscriminate bombardment. Ling and Xiaochun first used high-speed magic to attack the stone door to reduce its durability. Finally, Lingling used the holy sword to split the stone door in two. Little Eagle and Wolf all agreed that my magic pet was much more savage than it looked, and that such a door could be blown down.

"Can't do it?" We were all dumbfounded after the Shimen fell down. The empty room behind the door can be seen at a glance. The small room, which is not too big, is completely artificially constructed. There is no place to hide anything in the room, and there is nothing except the glorious walls.

Everyone was dumbfounded. There was no need to search the empty room. Was there something wrong with the mission statement? impossible! Although I was a little surprised, I wasn't nervous because I didn't want to take anything. What disappointed me the most on this journey was that I didn’t meet any monsters rather than not seeing the baby. I don’t mind if there is no baby, but it doesn’t make sense without monsters!

"Could we have taken the wrong path from the beginning?" I asked the wolf: "Is it possible that there is something like Cave No. 2 here?"

"I'm not sure about this. It's not mentioned in the mission!"

"It's really a ghost. Why does this passage look like someone has swept it? Not a single monster was seen or mentioned, all the mechanisms are broken, and even the treasures are missing!" Xiong looked quite unwilling.

"But it doesn't make sense!" Xiaoying looked around the room. "Is there someone who has taken on the same mission as us and completed it first?"

I shook my head: "Zero uses a real-time mission system. The missions each player receives are formulated on the spot based on the situation at that time. There is no possibility of repeated missions. Besides, if someone comes in first, those mechanisms should be activated in advance. Rather than waiting for us to arrive before something breaks down.”

"But where have all the things gone?" Ling asked anxiously.

"Is there any mechanism in the room?"

"It's impossible! The structure of this room is obviously made of a whole piece of rock hollowed out. If there is a mechanism, you can tell it at a glance."

"You don't have to look for it, we have already hidden the things." The sudden voice made us all turn our heads to look at the passage we came from, only to see a large group of mummy creatures filling the passage. The person speaking was the mummy in the middle wearing a crown and a scepter. In fact, what I hate most are mummies. Not only do they look disgusting, but they also have extremely high defense power. The most terrible thing is that mummies are different from ordinary undead. They do not abide by the order of the undead world, and unlike ordinary skeletons, they can be commanded at will.

Although the opponent was not an ordinary undead, Ling still stood up. We plan to be polite first and then fight. If it makes sense, we can avoid fighting. Although I am here to level up, mummies are definitely not a monster suitable for leveling up. "You are all undead. If you don't want to rest in peace, you must belong to the leadership of the Dark Temple. Why do you want to stop us?"

The Mummy King suddenly laughed, and his voice was like speaking in front of a strong wind fan, with a strong vibrato. "Hahahaha! Since you are from the Dark Temple, you should know that our mummy family has never belonged to the Dark Temple. Besides, you are just the person in charge. It would be easier to say something if the Lord God comes."

It seemed like there was some trouble now. This guy didn't want to buy it and had to use force to solve it. Without me having to say anything, Ling automatically retreated to my side, and Xiaochun walked up with Jingjing and Lingling. "Since you are looking for trouble, then completely erase your existence here."

"Don't be too boastful. We are not ordinary mummies. Come on over and kill them all." After the Mummy King finished speaking, he immediately backed away, and a large number of mummies rushed over along the passage.

"Shine - Baptism of Holy Light." Xiaochun's light magic suppressed undead creatures 100%. As soon as her magic weapon was illuminated, the mummies that were illuminated immediately began to smoke.

But the problem is that there are too many mummies here. The mummies in the front are indeed badly illuminated by the holy light, but the ones in the back are blocked by the ones in front and cannot be illuminated at all. The mummies that were not illuminated pushed the mummies that were illuminated forward, and as a result, the team became just us.

Lingling drew out her long sword with a clatter, turned around and said to us: "Master, step back." After saying that, she suddenly held the sword in both hands and jumped over Xiao Chun to the front of the passage. "Holy Sword - Explosive Slash." A dazzling white light suddenly lit up on the Holy Sword, and then it slashed down. The huge white light beam rushed forward along the tunnel, and everything it touched turned into dust. Lingling's blow was enough to blow up all the mummies within 30 meters in front of her into powder. Not only the mummy king was frightened, but also our five Indian friends here. The mummy is a level 500 creature. Although its level is not high, it is definitely not something that can kill hundreds of soldiers with just one strike. Lingling killed at least seventy or eighty mummies with this blow, and the power was a bit scary.

The remaining mummies were not afraid and immediately rushed up through the thick layer of beige powder on the ground. Lingling has lost her strength, and the violent slash is extremely powerful, but like all large-scale skills, it has serious side effects. I quickly stepped forward and hugged Lingling back, and Jingjing's shield immediately hit her. The passage was not big to begin with, but Jingjing's holy shield defense could make the shield larger. Now the entire passage was sealed, and the mummies over there were beating on the shield but couldn't get through. It's a pity that this place is too narrow. It would be nice if there was more space to summon large magic pets like Lucky or Tank.

Ling held up a small black light ball in her hand. She often used this thing, but today's one was particularly small. As soon as Jingjing's shield time was up, Ling's black ball was thrown out. The black light bullet moved forward, and there was nothing that could stop it from moving forward. Everything it encountered disappeared.

"Lie down!"

"ah?"

I was baffled by Ling's sudden shout of "down". I had never seen her use a move before saying "down!" But this time she quickly pushed me down, and the others behind me also quickly got down. There was only a boom in the distance, and then a burst of green smoke floated down the roof of the cave. As soon as all the mummies touched the green smoke, they immediately turned into black coke-like things, and there were constant rustling sounds from the top of the cave.

Soon the green smoke disappeared, and it seemed that instead of dissipating, it turned into something else. Everything the smoke touched, whether it was the rocks on the wall or the mummies, all turned into a charred black color, looking as if they had been roasted by fire.

Only when they saw us standing up did the wolves dare to stand up. Big Eyes asked in surprise: "What kind of magic is this? Why is it so powerful?"

Ling smiled and said: "This is the cloud of death, but it is compressed into the dark erosion using compression technology, so when it is fired, it is a ball of light, and when it explodes, it turns into smoke. Originally, this move The power shouldn't be so powerful. The main reason is that this is a cave and the cloud of death cannot be dispersed, so the power is relatively concentrated. In normal battles outside, this skill only plays a supporting role."

"No wonder it's so scary." Xiaoying came over and said, "I thought the average strength of your demon pet was so exaggerated!"

In fact, what she said is correct or not. The average strength of my magic pet is indeed like this, but this time it is not the strongest magic. But I don't want to explain, otherwise it will be more troublesome.

"Where's Jixiang Ruyi?" Ling suddenly realized that the two most troublesome members were missing.

When I heard the shouting, I quickly looked around and found that the two troublemakers were missing. "Good luck? Good luck?" Really! Where have you gone? Just this passage, we have been watching the front, but the back is a dead end. Where can they go?
