darkest personality

Chapter 264 264. Tunnel
The road ahead is not easy either.

The path behind the stone statue is quite narrow, not to mention, the whole journey is still covered by wind and snow, the line of sight can only be seen less than two meters, and the foothold can only be felt.

Once there is an emergency bend at the front of the path, people walking on it may step on the air and fall into the abyss below because they cannot see the road clearly.

The two crouched forward again, this time walking was more difficult than last time, Fengxue also added a buff that reduced their movement speed, making their speed slow to the point of crawling on the ground.

Fortunately, the distance of this section of road is not too long. When there was no road ahead, Bai Ye raised his head tremblingly, looked around, and found a place on the opposite cliff where he could hang his claws.

He has discovered some rules in this scene. For example, if there is no way ahead, there must be a foothold for people to crawl around, or a position where the hook can be fixed.

"Fly over with the claws, be careful."

After reminding Ding Ri who was behind him, Bai Ye took off the claws on his waist, swung it twice in the air, and then slammed it towards the fixed point.

This claw has an automatic locking function. As long as its flying direction is facing the fixed point, the system will help the claw to lock the fixed point. Unless Bai Ye throws it too far, there is no need to worry that the claw will not touch the fixed point. point.

He used the hook and claw a lot along the way, and Bai Ye is already very proficient with this tool.

After the hook was successfully secured, he jumped out from the end of the road.

The howling wind and snow immediately blew him away from the original falling route, the rope of the hook claws vibrated violently, and the whole person spun in the air like a spinning top.

Bai Ye clenched his teeth, grasping the rope desperately with both hands, blown by the strong wind like a kite with a broken string.

Constantly shaking, spinning...

This state lasted for about ten seconds, and he finally flew over the turbulent and violent wind belt, and his back hit the opposite mountain wall heavily.

"There is no danger."

Bai Ye took a breath, feeling his heart beating very hard.

From the time when he was crawling forward on the small road just now, the tension quickly occupied his whole body.

Although I know that this is just a game, even if I fall from a high platform and fall to my death, it is not a real death, but people's eyes often deceive the brain. Yes, but there is still a subconscious sense of nervousness and fear in my mind.

After Bai Ye stretched out his hand to grab the rock wall firmly, he shook the hook rope with his other hand, and the hook retracted automatically.

Ding Ri, crouching on the spot in the distance, saw that Bai Ye had successfully landed, and followed Bai Ye's example and threw his claws towards the fixed point.

……

After some tossing, Ding Ri also lay down on the cliff side by side with Bai Ye.

"I almost let go just now."

Ding Ri's face was pale, and he didn't know if he was frozen by the cold, or he was frightened by hanging above the abyss just now.

"The difficulty of this game is definitely above level 3, level 3.5 or even level 4."

Half a month after the game was launched, the players already had a good understanding of the game, and they also divided the scenes encountered in the game into a 1-5 level. The higher the level, the more difficult the scene is.

"There may be more difficult places in the future, let's move on, don't stop here."

Bai Ye doesn't care about this level of difficulty, because most of them are not too difficult for him.

The two continued to climb along the cliff, and the route ahead began to lean downwards, and the storm became much smaller as the distance between them and the Altar of the Gods became farther away.

Finally, the bottom of the valley covered by ice and snow could be seen ahead.

"Just now it was blown by the wind and I couldn't see clearly. It turned out that it was only a short distance from the top."

Even if he jumped off the platform directly, he probably wouldn't lose too many health points.

"With such a strong wind, do you think you can fall to the ground smoothly?"

While continuing to walk forward, Bai Ye said something without looking back.

The road ahead became narrower and narrower. When the road was about to come to an end, several half-person-high caves appeared in the sight of the two of them.

"This journey is full of climbing mountains and drilling holes, and each checkpoint is arranged so tightly, can't the system arrange a normal route in the middle for us to take a break?"

Ding Ri once again complained about the 'unusual way' arranged by the system.

"The main test of this game is that content."

Bai Ye squatted down and looked for one of the caves, pushed away the snow on the entrance of the cave, and began to drill into it.

"Hey, can you go through this hole if you choose it? There are several others that look exactly the same outside."

Ding Ri complains and complains, the hole that should be drilled still has to be drilled.

"Follow me."

……

Sure enough, after drilling several hundred meters in the narrow cave, the road ahead gradually opened up.

The temperature is gradually rising, there is wind passing through the cave, and the air is not turbid.

There were drops of water dripping from the rocks at the top, and Ding Ri took a few sips of it, boasting that the natural water was cool and sweet, and Thief Jill quenched his thirst.

Go a few steps further and there is a branch at the end of the road.

"Is this... a tunnel?"

The road extended here and became a T-shape. The two stood at the intersection and looked at the newly-appeared branch. They found that there were quite obvious traces of artificial mining on this road. Passing railway tracks.

"Someone is digging here?" Ding Ri knelt down and touched the rails, then looked in the front and back directions respectively, "Someone's activity means that the exit is not far away."

"I think it's better not to meet anyone."

"Eh? Why?"

Ding Ri didn't understand what Bai Ye said.

"A tunnel will be opened here is definitely not because of mining, it has nothing to do with the main plot."

While talking, Bai Ye started to walk along the railroad tracks.

"Then why do you want to open a tunnel here? There is no road behind here. If you go there, you will go to the sea, unless..."

The scene of this game is an extremely low island with a small area. It would be foolish to open a north-south tunnel on such an island.

"Unless these tunnel diggers are also thinking about that golden palace?!"

Ding Ri reacted quickly.

"It turns out that this tunnel was probably opened by a competitor?!"

"So, when they suddenly saw us coming out of the tunnel, what was their first reaction?"

"Of course I grabbed it directly."

The tunnel has not yet been dug to the golden palace, and it is a dead end. If the person who digs the tunnel guards the starting point of the excavation, there is no other way to enter and exit the tunnel.

The fact that Bai Ye and Dingri could come out of the tunnel safely only meant that they had found another way to the golden palace.

Then, after further reasoning, if they can reach the golden palace, they will naturally obtain the treasures in the palace.

Well, of course whoever dug the tunnel wouldn't help them and let them go.
