The sword of the pinnacle of the country

Chapter 22
I have to say that, as a dungeon monster, the experience given by killing is quite considerable. Coupled with the compensation for the level difference, the progress on my experience bar is increasing rapidly.

After clearing the first wave of monsters at the entrance with ease, he continued to wander in the swamp, his vision gradually widening. Even if a few missed monsters came out from the side occasionally, they were killed in the middle of the road by a few skills of the remote profession.So far, this copy has not shown its terrifying side.

Haozi landed in the mud with one foot deep and the other shallow. As a heavy equipment professional, such terrain undoubtedly greatly hindered his actions.

"Wait a minute." The female pastor who was walking in the front waved her hand and stopped.

I looked forward, and the color of the ground in front of me turned sharply, showing a dark hue, accompanied by bubbles of distinct sizes constantly churning, apparently swamps.

"It shouldn't be. In my impression, there is no such difficult terrain." The female priest looked at the swamp, seeming to be talking to herself.

The setting of "National" is roughly based on real life. For this swamp that occupies the interrupted area of ​​​​the canyon, it is obviously unreasonable to force it through.In just a few days after the server was opened, there are no full-time life players yet, so some corresponding climbing equipment is still difficult to obtain at this stage.

But since the level is set up in this way, there must be a way to pass it, and it must be necessary to use the rock walls on both sides.Stepping on the rugged rocks on both sides, adjust the center of gravity of the body, find a point of strength, and then perform a second bounce to capture the next place where you can land in your field of vision.

This series of operations looks simple and unpretentious, but there are many difficulties in the actual operation. For a profession of cloth armor, it does not have such a high physical strength limit compared with a profession of heavy armor. In terms of action, there are disadvantages in itself.Fortunately, as far as the rock wall itself is concerned, it is not as steep as imagined. After finding the point of strength, it can be relatively stable, but at the same time, it has fallen into a situation where it is difficult to move an inch.

"How is it, Brother Shuangdong has found a way to pass?" The feminine voice that doesn't match the knight's figure faintly floated from below, I shuddered, and involuntarily increased the strength in my hands.

"It shouldn't be possible. There is no place to stay if you go up, and the dungeon setting should take into account that the leather armor profession at this stage has no ability to climb such a high wall."

I thought about slowly withdrawing from the rock wall, there should be another way to pass the rock wall.

The female pastor was in front of the team, shaking her head constantly facing the swamps: "I went to the forum to read the relevant strategies, and it seems that no one has encountered such a situation. The swamps in the strategy illustrations are all distributed in blocks. In this way, players can take the opportunity to pass this level."

"Could it be that the distribution of this swamp is randomly refreshed, and our refresh mechanism just happened to encounter a bug, which caused the swamp to become a whole screen full of swamps. Let's exit and come in to have a look?" Haozi looked worried. Looking thoughtful, in front of such swamps, there is really no way to pass.

"No, this is once a week. After quitting, the number of times for this week will be used up. You have to continue next week."

"Then we'll just wait here." Hao Zi shrugged helplessly, and threw his shiny silver epee to the ground.

Theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be such a bug that would directly cause the dungeon progress to fail. Just now, the heavily armored knight tried to force his way through, and within 5 seconds, the blood line had quickly dropped to half.Does this mean that there are other entrances, but recalling the pattern of the road when I came, it seems that there is no setting such as a fork, as if there is only one. . . .The chasm under that broken bridge.Although I'm not sure where it is, but judging from the current situation, it can only be understood by trying it.

I got up and walked towards the entrance of the dungeon. Haozi saw my movement and followed me in two or three steps, just as if I had discovered something.

"Why, did you see the clue?"

"You said that the previous rift valley might be the entrance of some place."

Hao Zi rounded his eyes, with an unbelievable look: "No way, it's pitch black down there, I reckon I'll jump down and send you back to the resurrection point."

"Then maybe, what if some peerless expert npc lives there, is there a better choice besides trying?"

"Hey, I have to remind you that there is no protection mechanism after level 10. You have only reached level 13, and you will fall back immediately. Besides, if you really die below, you will not be able to pick up any equipment you drop. Can't get it back."

Facing the empty darkness below the cliff, I thought about it, and guessed that it might be a bit of a waste of money: "You are right, I took off the equipment first, I just wore the blue suit for a long time. If I lose one, I will die of distress.”

"Okay, okay, don't be inked, act like a man, I'll wait for you at the nearest resurrection point." Haozi winked at me jokingly.

I shrugged my shoulders, pretending not to see it, turned my back and glanced down again, and when I confirmed that I couldn't find anything except the darkness, I bent down and jumped down in a posture as chic as possible.The surrounding light is dimming at an extremely fast speed, like a deep well, swallowing all the brilliance, and there is no sound around. I have experienced many high-level jumps in "God Realm" before, so this time Shi didn't feel a bit uncomfortable, the sense of this dangerous action had already been weakened dozens of times, so there would be no physical pain.

It's just that I have no idea about the time of the fall. I guessed it would be a matter of a few seconds. It would be a big deal to fall to the ground and return to the resurrection point. I didn't expect that it would continue to fall for more than half a minute. I was afraid that I fell into some kind of programmed hole. Among them, it is troublesome to get stuck outside the map.

I thought about sending a message to Haozi to report the situation, maybe it would not be so easy for him to go to the resurrection point to find me.

"The map you are on is temporarily unable to communicate with the outside world."

Well, what's going on?It seemed that I had fallen into an area where communication signals were shielded, and I was thinking about how to tell Haozi my current location, when suddenly my eyes went dark, and with the shaking of my vision, my blood line slipped down in an instant. It was a big cut, and finally stayed at one-third of the place.

Since I have been dealing with monsters in the wild for the past few days, I have no medicine for replenishment, so I can only choose the slowest way to recover in situ and wait for the blood line to rise.It seems that after leaving Novice Village, it is necessary to go to the main city to supply medicines. After level 20, the basic attributes of the monsters will inevitably be greatly improved, and it is impossible to upgrade as easily as this.

During the reply time, I looked around the surrounding environment. This seemed to be the bottom of a gloomy valley. The area I could see was very large, but there were very few places to stay. The dead tall trees with black luster, the strong trunks can be vaguely discerned, stacked vertically and horizontally, occupying most of the space.Far away, sunlight poured down from the top, but it was not enough to penetrate the deep darkness. It was constantly blocked and covered, and finally only a little scattered light was left, so that everything around had an unreal blur feel.

I frowned, and finally waited until the blood line had returned to a relatively safe position before standing up. Although the surrounding environment did not look like there were any living things, and everything showed an indescribable lifelessness, it was best to come It's better not to take it lightly, in case there are any undead creatures active here, maybe.

Struggling to get up, looking for a foothold between the branches. These dead trees are of different ages. They should have fallen from the top of the valley and accumulated over the years. Could this gloomy layout environment be trying to hide something?
It took about 5 minutes to move forward. The more we walked forward, the thicker and thicker the trees inside. It was almost impossible to simply step over. We could only rely on the texture of the trunk to climb over with difficulty. I don’t know how big the trees are inside. Space, I haven't sent a message to Haozi for so long, and I don't have time to take care of what's going on on the ground.However, judging from the current situation, at least this is not a loophole in the dungeon design, but a certain link, but the conditions for triggering it are indeed too harsh.

Time has passed, and I have already forgotten how long I have been walking. I even suspected that the bottom of this empty valley has no end at all. Haozi and others probably chose to quit the instance because they saw that I was not moving.

Just as I had fallen into an endless cycle of climbing over and over, and my spirit had entered a state of extreme slack, the trees under my feet seemed to have loosened to a certain extent. A piece of bark suddenly caved in.So, my body leaned back and hit the inside of the tree heavily. At the same time, along with the slanted arc, I began to slide uncontrollably, spinning around in an instant, and the flying pieces of wood rubbed against my face, causing a slight pain.

This is into a tree hole?
When I regained my senses, I was already in a closed black and lightless space. I raised my hand tentatively, and it was difficult to see the outline of my fingers.I wriggled my Adam's apple, and was about to ask if I wanted to, when a light suddenly lit up through my fingers.

I shrugged my shoulders, trying to hide the shock I received, only to see that it was a kerosene lamp held by a pair of dead wood-like hands that were more ancient than before. The glass flickered, as if it might go out at any moment.

Behind that was a black robe that almost blended into the night.
