Returning from the abyss

Chapter 305 Gradient
After confirming to everyone that everything that should be bought has been obtained, Lu Ning gave up the seat next to the merchant.Behind her was Sun Bin and his group. They had already seen Lu Ning and others shopping together as a team, and their eyes were a little more probing and cautious, but after all, time was running out and they didn't say anything else.

Teng Zijian and the others stood beside the purple smoke at the door and waited for Lu Ning and his party. They looked a little anxious, and didn't ask them what they bought. When they saw someone walking over, they immediately turned their heads and walked into the smoke.

The torrential rain was still pouring outside, and it brought people back to the world where the monster was hiding.

"Let's go back quickly." Teng Zijian deliberately raised his voice and said.

"Any questions?"

"The time given by the businessman is stuck at the time of world switching. An hour is not long. We have to prepare."

The so-called preparation, of course, is to prepare for the state that may be encountered after the switch.Because the location remains the same, but the monsters are almost different in each world, so it is not impossible to parachute to a certain monster. If you are in danger, it may become safer, and safety may also become dangerous.

There was no accident on the way back, but I ran into a ghoul coming out of the corner of the building. This time, Yan Rong just tried the new weapon a little bit. The blade picked off the ghoul's head.

Even the speed of the team didn't slow down for half a second, and no one even picked up the two copper coins on the ghoul.Soon everyone ran to the downstairs of the dormitory, at this moment, Cang Su suddenly asked: "Do you feel that the surroundings have become dark?"

"It's not an illusion."

Even in the dark night, it was not completely invisible before, not to mention that they brought some light sources for lighting when they went out.But now even the rain a few meters away can no longer be seen clearly, the light appears brighter at this time, and the beam of light from the flashlight appears pale and concentrated in the extremely dark environment.

Uncle Bin and Lu Bin ran to the door of the dormitory building, and by following the flashlight, Lu Ning could see that the people upstairs had gathered at the door at this moment, and they rushed to open the door for everyone and welcome them in.As soon as Teng Zijian put his bag on the ground, he didn't bother to wipe the water on his body and started to distribute things.

"The gradual change is about to begin." Liu Shan stood with her arms folded to maintain order, and chatted with Zhou Weiyuan and Lu Ning by the way.

"Is it the switching of the world?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.

"Well, have you heard the saying that the darkest hour is before dawn? Gradients are like that. The darkness will gradually cover everything, and even the light can only shine a meter or so before it can no longer be seen. We It is impossible to know when the world will switch, but in order to avoid danger, we must make some preparations..."

"Then what are you doing with information from other worlds?"

"What we want to sell is information about monsters and world characteristics. It is impossible for you to know what the whole world is like in one switch."

From the things Teng Zijian gave out, there was really nothing to be seen, a medicine, a bottle of water, a pack of what looked like compressed biscuits, and a small box the size of a palm.Except for the small box at the end, which can't be seen to be of any use, everything else is just a general-purpose material.

"I think they should have something that can be used more, like that thermostat." Ning Yeyi whispered in Lu Ning's ear.

"Well, what Teng Zijian replenished this time is all consumables. They should have brought the really useful things with them, but it's okay if the next world is something else. If it's an extremely cold world, we really have to find a way to dry ourselves It's one o'clock."

"Don't worry." Ning Yeyi stuffed something into Lu Ning's hand. It was a little cold and about the size of a button. Lu Ning touched it, and there were some mechanical lines on it.

"what is this?"

"The miniature evaporation button can quickly vaporize the water to achieve the effect of rapid drying, but it will not affect the moisture in the organism, so it can be used directly on the clothes. The disadvantage is that it can only be used three times."

"You took a silver coin to buy these things?"

"Some gadgets that seem insignificant but are actually very useful." Ning Yeyi smiled lowly, "But this is considered to be self-serving, so I don't intend to let others know."

Lu Ning nodded slightly.

As Liu Shan said, the light gradually becomes unable to illuminate the distance, and the surroundings gradually become darker and darker, and even people are almost invisible.

In the darkness, Liu Shan went to sigh softly.

"But the dawn that follows the darkness never comes."

====================
You may have seen a solar eclipse scene.

Around the pitch-black shadows, a slightly gloomy copper-colored flame is burning, and the clear boundary between light and darkness makes people have a different perception of the universe than usual, which is not a spectacular scene.

But what if there were nine such stars?

They appeared together in the sky, the stars themselves were not visible, only the flames at the edge were constantly burning and dancing, and some of them were relatively close, and their irregular orbits could even be seen clearly.

In addition, if each of them has a tail cone of flame, it hangs down to the ground in a straight way, and even maintains the same thickness in a way that does not conform to the principle of perspective... so what?

A dark red light shone into the dormitory building from the window, making the surroundings light up again, but no one spoke, and everyone suppressed their emotions, refusing to look out of the window—they had to do this because of the strangeness of the sky. The elephant is too easy to make people feel broken, maybe even looking directly at the stars itself is a kind of destruction of self-cognition.

The tourists, by contrast, are slightly better off, and only slightly better.Lu Ning has experienced a lot of things like this, where a little more contact will make her spirit suffer, but those are almost all when the scene is about to enter the final scene and face the final enemy. This is the first time I have seen such a normal state .

"vomit……"

Someone on Teng Zijian's side quickly retched, and they were in extreme pain. The pungent smell quickly made more people join the vomiting army. Lu Ning stood a little farther away. These people's spirits are very fragile, and there are no tourists. That kind of rich experience support, a little stimulation will start to cause problems.

"The world of lamps."

Liu Shan's complexion was not very good, she kept pinching her eyebrows, and her breath was a little confused: "It's just a lottery, and I have to survive here for nearly twelve hours..."

"What danger is there in this world?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.

"You can feel the main danger without us telling you." Teng Zijian is in good condition, "A piece of advice, don't go out casually, we have only been to this world once, and that time reduced our team of 30 people to seven. indivual."

What's out there?Even Teng Zijian couldn't make it clear that the survival experience they had accumulated before could not provide much help in this world, and the previous transactions became not particularly critical.

Just as everyone fell silent, footsteps came from the corridor.

"Oops, there are monsters in the dormitory building in this world that haven't been cleaned up, let's hurry—"

Before Teng Zijian could finish speaking, a heavily armored knight stepped down from the stairs at the end of the corridor.

The knight's body was covered with dark blue armor, and there was a spiral-shaped black hole near the heart, which was even turning slowly, pulling the surrounding black patterns into the black hole.Whether it is from the helmet or the joints where there is no armor covering, no human part can be seen, but it is bottomless black, only scarlet flames burn on the dark surface, matching this is the knight's Weapons—the tower shield in the left hand made entirely of blue light and the flaming greatsword in the right hand that danced with fire.

This knight is two meters tall, looks quite burly in the corridor, and has extremely strong perception ability. As soon as he stepped downstairs, the helmet turned to Lu Ning and the others, and the eyes made of two flames "looked" at this side.

"This guy has noticed us!" Rong Han whispered, "Everyone be careful!"

"Hey, Teng Zijian, we won't meet the top combat power in this world, right?" Yan Rong raised the gun horizontally in front of him, turned his head and asked.

"It would be great if it was really top-notch combat power." Teng Zijian grinned, cold sweat dripping from his head, and he was also extremely nervous, "This guy is a knight of lights, a low-level soldier who patrols everywhere in this world of lights. At least a hundred of them are patrolling!"

"Inferior soldiers? Are you kidding?" Qin Yulou raised his gun and pointed at the knight, but he didn't know where to shoot the weak point.The rest of the people also understood Qin Yulou's meaning. If only Yan Rong could feel the danger in the treasure guard's weak appearance, then the oppressive feeling on this knight was almost overflowing.

Although this means that this knight is indeed no stronger than the treasure guard, but they are not qualified to weigh the strength of monsters in various worlds today.

"Don't fight hard! They have a fixed patrol line! We just need to find a way to leave the dormitory!" Teng Zijian said loudly.

"Who told us not to go out casually just now?"

"Crazy is better than dead!"

Just as he was talking, the Knight of Lights had already walked to a position about 20 meters away from the crowd, and then he crouched slightly, put the tower shield in front of him, and raised his flaming sword——

"Back off!"

No one here has a more accurate intuition than Yan Rong. When she yelled this sentence, everyone ran back without hesitation.And at this moment, there was a cracking sound from the knight's feet, and he directly crossed the distance of 20 meters in one second, and at the same time, the flame sword swept a crossing oblique sweep with a radius of more than one meter in front of him!

Lu Ning could even feel the scorching heat sweeping across her neck, and it burned a few hairs.The warmth is like death breathing on the back of your neck.

Before, a person squatting on the ground and vomiting, and had no time to run was directly swept by the flames, and he was not directly cut off. When the Knight of Lights returned to an upright standing posture and approached step by step, pain appeared on his face Then the moment the knight passed by him, scarlet flames sprang up from his body, and before he could even scream, he was burned into a mass of black matter.

Then, under some panic and vigilant gazes, this mass of black figures turned around with burning flames on their bodies, and followed the knight and approached everyone like a follower.

Lu Ning was already thinking about how to run away.

Now people are also desperately fleeing to the other end of the corridor, but the light from the nine stars outside is obviously harmful, and running out like this in a daze may not end well, and the light knight in front of him can really beat them all alone No, everyone didn't even have the idea of ​​trying weapons on this guy.

"How to get out?" Yan Rong asked suddenly.

"Of course directly—" Teng Zijian was about to speak, but she immediately interrupted him.

"I don't want to die, and I don't want to go crazy, Lu Ning, Ning Yeyi, Zhou Weiyuan, can the three of you think of a way?"

Yan Rong stopped backing, pointed the tip of the gun at the knight of lights, stepped back with one foot, and tied his body.

"Give me a satisfactory plan."

"Yan Rong! Come here!" Zhou Weiyuan changed his previous lazy attitude and shouted with the loudest voice.

"It's not good to just run out like this, we can't make too much sacrifice at this time, Zhou Weiyuan, use your brain, and..."

Yan Rong looked at the knight standing about two meters in front of her.

"This guy won't be able to kill me for a while."

Facing Yan Rong, who was in a fighting posture, the knight stopped, stood the big sword on his chest, pointed upward, and then swiped his hand sideways, cutting out an arc of fire, and leaned forward in this posture , and sprinted towards Yan Rong!

A sound of metal collision sounded between the lightning, stone and fire, and the flaming sword was deflected. Yan Rong did not choose to parry, but directly pointed at the wrist of the lamp knight, deflecting the attack line of the sword.After all, her gun is longer and can attack the target before the opponent.

"Now tell me about the light outside." Lu Ning also calmed down again at this moment, and asked.

"The night of the world of lights is illuminated by those black stars. It is dusk now, when nine stars are in the same sky, and it is the most polluted time. The light illuminated by those stars can cause obvious physical discomfort. There will be hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, and even the companion as an enemy, the final result is complete madness, at this time that person will start to turn black, and the surface of the body will catch fire... just like what you saw." Teng Zijian didn't care too much at this time, and told everything he knew in one breath.

"How long does it take to hallucinate? How long does it take to go crazy?"

"Looking at people, the speed of hallucinations is about 10 minutes to 10 minutes, and the shortest time to go crazy will start to blacken in an hour."

"That's really not good." Lu Ning turned her head and looked out of the window, the dim light stained the surrounding scenery, and the groggy feeling was extremely unbearable.

At this time there were two loud bangs again, and Yan Rong and the Knight of Lights began to speed up their fight. It seemed that they could hold on now, but no one dared to go up to help. This is the battlefield of top combat tourists, and those who are less skilled will die.

"Is it because of being illuminated, or because of seeing the light?" Zhou Weiyuan asked suddenly.

"This..." Teng Zijian froze for a moment, unable to answer.

"It's okay, just verify it a little bit."

He tore off the hem of his clothes and covered his eyes.

"If you can't see it, it will be much cleaner, but you can still see something, that's why."
