The Age of Machines

Chapter 1178

After Beixi jumped into the water.

Eve was also worried about whether the cold water would cause her any harm, and Beixi quickly jumped out of the pool in the next 20 seconds.

Eve regained consciousness due to the sound of water, and the glutinous rice dumpling at the exit also cast her gaze.

Beixi climbed out of the pool, but Eve tried to help her but was stopped. "Don't touch me, I have ice worms on me."

Eve's movements stopped suddenly. After Beixi climbed out by herself, Eve looked carefully and found some silvery white dots on the equipment.At the beginning, she didn't notice it, because the water was still dripping, and she discovered it as soon as Beixi said it.

"Do you want me to purify or disperse?"

Beixi shook his head. "No, you'll die right away."

She knew that this kind of worm, generally speaking, grows in very cold areas, and must be attached to things with magical powers in the water.After leaving the water, it will die even in cold regions.

After Beixi launched into the water, he discovered it immediately through the investigation of the mechanical beast, so he returned a long way and got out of the water to avoid damage to his equipment due to bugs.

Five seconds later, as Beixi said, the bugs on her body were covered with cold mist one by one, and then turned into frost, shattered and fell to the ground.

Bei Xi patted the clothes on his body and took off the rest.

Nuomi Duanzi came over and asked concerned: "Are you all right?"

Bei Xi looked at her, "Maybe you have to give me a [Swallowing Black Hole]."

Nuomi Duanzi looked at the crushed ice on the ground, and she heard the conversation between Beixi and Eve.She also knew that the things they were attached to must be extremely magical.

Looking at the size of the bugs, you can know what level of things are below, and there are quite a few of them.This is something that Beixi never expected.

"Sure enough, Zero Eleven didn't get anything." Nuomi Duanzi couldn't help saying.

Beixi nodded.

With these worms, it was impossible for Zero Eleven, a thieves player, to hide in the water. Moreover, he himself estimated that he only found so many ice worms when he got closer to that area.

"But he's been down there for a long time." Eve asked doubtfully. "Then how did he not die?"

The glutinous rice dumpling said: "The gemstone on his neck is Mengma's life blessing. As long as the blood volume is lower than 5.00%, it will set up a shield for him no matter what the situation is, and he will be immune to some negative states."

"Besides, this gem has another effect, which is blood recovery."

Eve also understood.

Why were the two of them so sure that Zero Eleven hadn't gotten anything for so long.

Beixi returned because if she didn't come up, she would be frozen in the water because of the bugs.

The reason why Zero Eleven didn't come up for so long was because he was frozen, but he kept a hand, the gemstone on his neck was triggered passively, so he was able to escape.

Hence the incredible event of staying in the pool for 4 minutes.

It was originally that he had been frozen, but the player's blood volume was not enough to be instantly killed. It may be that his whole body was frozen and unable to move, and then the ice continued to invade, and his blood volume decreased little by little until his blood volume was lower than that enough. Triggered the passive value of the gemstone on his body, so he was rescued and swam up.

"If he really got to the bottom of the water and got something, he wouldn't come out like that. Maybe he would have come out of the pool as early as we came, and then fought with you."

Eve was still curious.

When Zero Eleven crawled out, she looked at him, but she didn't find anything except that he was extremely embarrassed.Can you guess that this person didn't get anything just by his embarrassed appearance?
"And how do you know he didn't get anything?"

"If we got something, we wouldn't be able to stand here safe and sound."

"What's the meaning?"

Nuomi Duanzi smiled and said: "These ice caves are closed spaces, and the exit needs to be triggered by sequential rotation of the magic circle on the icicle. If the player can't find it, you said that there are glowing ones below, which look like passages. Generally speaking , there is indeed a second channel, but more often it is an institution or something.”

"Hmm. So what?"

Eve still didn't know how to find out that he didn't bring anything out.

Nuomi Duanzi continued: "Except for the situation of the second channel."

"Why remove it?"

It is also possible that the following is the second channel.

"Because you have found the exit. Then there will be no passage below."

Sometimes in a closed space, there will indeed be more than one exit. This is to prevent the player from finding a way out and getting stuck here, so that the player will be given more opportunities. The difficulty is different.

Because if the player does not die and cannot find the exit, then he will really be trapped in the same area and cannot get out.

Unless the player chooses to commit suicide and return to the city.

However, returning to the city by suicide has always caused serious damage to the player's equipment, so this method is naturally not advocated.

Also, in an area, only one exit will appear at a time.Therefore, after Eve found the exit, there may be a passage under the pool, but once the exit comes out, it cannot be the exit below.

So how could there be anything else?
In fact, the exit is closed, and there will be a situation leading to another place again.This is often what treasure chests are rewarded with.Because the player found the exit and cracked the mechanism, the rewards appear below.

But there is also a situation, that is another kind of trap.And this kind of trap is precisely the wild killer who can easily take the player's life.

Even if Zero Eleven went down to make contact, he didn't dare to move.If you don't have enough time to observe, how can you know if you can get it yourself.

However, this situation should be ruled out, and why, because Zero Eleven was frozen after entering the water.

He didn't have time to continue digging or to get things, even if the gemstone triggered passively later, there was no time limit.

He must return to the ground within a certain time.

So when he came up, Beixi and Nuomi Duanzi noticed the fading of the gemstone life magic circle on his neck, and the ice slag that melted and shattered from the bugs that fell from his body, and clearly told them that this man should swim very well in the water In a hurry, that disordered breathing.

All these details are telling the two of them that this person did not go well after entering the water, so Beixi and the others did not intend to prevent this person from leaving.

First, the cave is too fragile to take a hard hit from the player.Second, they don't have time to spend with him.Third, this person didn't get what he had, so it shouldn't be possible for him to leave easily.

So Beixi didn't do anything.

Let him go, and let him stay nearby, watching them secretly.

"So there can be no exit from the bottom. There are only two kinds of traps or rewards. He has no chance to confirm, and when he came up, he found that the three of us are here, let alone do it."

First of all, he certainly didn't want them to know what was down there.If Eve's side is an exit, according to what he thinks, maybe the two of them won't think too much about leaving.

So he pretended to leave the appearance himself, and left the cave.But he's a thief, so what's the difficulty in coming back from stealth?
I guess I might be somewhere in the hole right now, listening to their conversation, I was surprised that they guessed the purpose of his actions.

One against three, he definitely has no advantage.

Eve curled her lips, but it was impossible for them to go three against one, this was not the style of their guild.It's just that she is rushing to her task progress now, otherwise Eve would like to teach this person a lesson.

It's downright arrogance.

"Give me a devour, Eve give me a shield, and I'll go down again."

Beixi was just a test, so she didn't go downstream on purpose. After she noticed the ice worm, she went upstream very quickly, so Eve felt that it didn't take long, and was surprised by the appearance of Beixi.

The two gave Beixi the state respectively. With the dual state and the elemental protection of the mechanical beast, Beixi jumped into the pool and made quite a splash.

Eve said, "It should be fine, right?"

Nuomi Tuanzi retracted her gaze and scanned the ice cave. She didn't feel anything. The other party was hidden very high, so she couldn't detect anything.

Said to Eve: "Be careful yourself."

Eve nodded, she understood.

The glutinous rice dumpling returned to the exit, and within a few steps of going out, I received a message from the civet cat and the waltz.

The two didn't fall in the same place, but they both found the exit now.As soon as Nuomi Duanzi got out of the ice cave, the communication resumed, and he sent coordinates to both of them. The red dots on the map representing the two were approaching them, and the distance seemed not far away.

Nuomi Duanzi opened the big map, and it was still the mountain range they were in before.The map hasn't changed much, so they are indeed still under the mountains now?
There is a road going forward on the map, but when you pull it to the end of the map, you can't go any further. Nuomi Duanzi thinks maybe that is the target area.

Seeing this, Nuomi Tuanzi turned off the map, and waited for the civet cats to come and gather. As for whether Zero Eleven was still nearby, they didn't need to worry about it at all.

Because the other party needs to be smart, it is impossible to show up when there are a lot of them.

It is impossible for a thief to use skills to enter stealth all the time, but if the opponent has a cloak of invisibility, they can stay invisible all the time by wearing a cloak, but this is no different from skills, as long as he moves, they will be able to detect it.

Therefore, the glutinous rice dumpling is not actually worried about the other party's conspiracy.

She just needs to guard the exit, if he makes a move, it will be impossible to fly, and there is no other choice but to die here.

After Beixi jumped into the water, he felt the ice worms swimming around him.She went into the water with a shield, so compared to before, she could clearly see the bugs gradually gathering towards her, forming a silver-white line, with her as the center, a silver vortex appeared.

However, they were not attached to Beixi, but were all blocked by the shield.Coupled with the devouring of the glutinous rice dumpling, the worms are constantly being absorbed, and the faster the North Stream goes downstream.

This was the first time she had seen so many ice worms.

This kind of bugs depend on magic to survive, and if there is not enough magic, they can't survive.Only now did Beixi understand why there was such an ice cave under the mountains.

The reason is that there are too many insects with this ice attribute.

So much so that they keep multiplying, and then they emit cold air, which overflows the pool water, making the entire area look like it is now.

This is also the reason for the extremely high degree of cold here.

This kind of bug may not be common in the general extremely cold area, but there are a lot of them here.

Beixi also knew clearly that even if there were rewards below, it might not be easy to get them.

To feed so many bugs and keep them frozen all the time requires an enormous amount of magical power.

After Bei Xi made up his mind, he became more vigilant.

When it reached 15 meters, the surrounding area became brighter and brighter. Beixi wore a badge when it was launched into the water, so it could breathe freely in the water.As for the erosion of the ice, because she has a mechanical beast, which has resisted most of the ice elements, she now suffers part of the damage.

She doesn't have much time either.

None of the props in the package can completely withstand the cold water temperature, even if it is a skill, it is impossible to completely weaken it.

Beixi's speed became faster as it went down, basically she didn't need to swim by herself.

Because of the heavy cold, the shield gradually weakened, and more and more ice worms piled up to form heavy ice blocks, pressing on the shield, and the devouring state was no longer enough to deal with so many ice worms.

Beixi is like carrying a huge mobile ice block, and the falling speed will naturally increase.

This was the purpose of Beixi from the beginning, to speed up her downstream speed through the characteristics of these ice worms.

A few seconds later, there was not much distance from the light source, almost within reach.

Beixi had to stop, fists collided, the force blasted away, the surroundings shook, and many ice worms fell.

However, most of them are still attached to the shield.Eve's shield was about to crack, and Beixi took out a yellow grenade from his pocket.

Then he pulled the switch, at this moment the shield shattered, cold water soaked his body, and the grenade made a muffled sound in the water.

Bomb smoke scattered.

The ice worms that gathered towards the Beixi River stopped moving, and then floated in the water without moving.

Downstream of the Beixi River, it falls at the end.

The ice treasure chest was placed on the stone platform, surrounded by white bones. Beixi stood in front of the treasure chest and did not move. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the keyhole on the treasure chest. It was somewhat familiar, like the clan emblem of the elves, but the keyhole It's not like the style of the elves.

Beixi has studied too many things.

So even the patterns alone can clearly know where these things come from.

This thing makes her feel familiar, but the content of the game is too rich, even if she knows it, she can't think of it for a while.

But I thought, it must not be ordinary.

He looked up and looked around, but found nothing unusual, Beixi stretched out his hand, intending to collect the treasure box directly.

Players must meet several conditions before they can take away treasures together with treasure chests in areas that are not safe areas.

One, you have [Hunter Badge] on your own.

Second, when the national prestige is higher than [-].

Three, did not enter the combat state [that is, was not discovered by the guardian monster].

And Beixi happened to be the person who met all three conditions.

So she pocketed the treasure chest and began to swim upwards.

At this time, the mutation happened.
