Absolute Destiny Game
Chapter 209: Retreat at the Peak
Xianyu was the first to lead the way into the tunnel. At this critical moment, even he, who was lying flat, finally began to take the initiative.
Everyone entered in a line. Fortunately, although it was a tunnel, it was not narrow.
Everyone went down to the bottom of the tunnel. There was a cave-like space below. Stalactites were hanging upside down above their heads. Not far ahead was a thick stone wall. It was obviously the ancient tomb.
Everyone looked around vigilantly, but did not find the existence of zombies. There were only huge bats hanging on the cave above their heads. Fortunately, they were all neutral monsters and did not take the initiative to attack.
Xiao Jie used the beast identification to check it out.
[Cave Bat (Beast), Level 5, HP 80.
Taming Difficulty: Difficult Level.
Skills: Sound Positioning, Flying, Biting. ]
Not a big threat - Hey, Sound Positioning? This skill is good. It would be great if I could learn it.
Unfortunately, I already have a big bear... By the way, should I let the big bear go and learn skills from the bat?
I am a bit entangled. Big Bear is a reliable meat shield after all, and can provide effective combat support. The combat power of this bat is too weak. Once it is replaced, there will be no baby who can resist.
How about learning directly? Taking the beast as a teacher does not mean that it must be your baby to ask for advice. Just raise the favorability.
It is easier to brush the favorability of the baby. You can use loyalty to replace the favorability. If you force it directly, it will be more troublesome.
I will find an opportunity to find a bat to get close to him. What do bats eat?
While talking, everyone came to the gate of the ancient tomb. There was a stone tablet in front of the gate with ten big characters on it.
There were dense records below.
Everyone stepped forward to read it carefully, and saw that it was written.
[The Tomb of Wang Chang, the Loyal and Martial Marquis of the Zulong Empire:
My name is Wang Chang, a native of Beimingzhou. I have been in the army for decades and have been in battle for a long time. I lament that I have too many killings and have no offspring. In the last years of my life, I finally have a son.
Chang was worried about the danger of the continuation of the incense, and worked hard to make a good plan.
There is a fellow Taoist named Yin Lingzi, who is good at Feng Shui. He specially found this Feng Shui treasure land to bury me when I die, so as to bless my descendants to prosper.
The burial objects in this tomb are only the armor, weapons, and military books of a certain person during his lifetime. There are no valuable treasures, and there are dangers of traps and weapons. If there are gentlemen under Liangxia who see this monument, please do not disturb my sleep and ruin my Feng Shui, otherwise you will be harmed. Don't say I didn't warn you. 】
Xiao Jie thought that Wang Chang was quite interesting. He buried a tomb and was afraid of being robbed, so he put up a warning sign.
But armor, weapons, and military books, aren't these all treasures?
The things used by the Marquis must be top-notch.
The Zulong Empire is probably the empire established by the Dragon Emperor when he unified the nine states. It has a history of thousands of years.
Hey, that's not right. Didn't they say that it was sealed by the ancient immortals? How could it be a general's tomb?
He glanced at the tomb door, and a faint magic aura suddenly appeared on it. A huge talisman was sealed on the tomb door out of thin air, with a groove on each side.
The seal on the tomb door was obviously added later.
Xiao Jie clicked the two grooves on the door with his mouse.
System prompt: Need spirit stone talisman.
It is indeed a seal left by an immortal, but what does it mean for an immortal to seal a general's tomb?
"Hey, there are words behind it." Someone suddenly exclaimed.
Xiao Jie walked around, and sure enough, there was also a paragraph of text written on the blank space behind the stone tablet.
[Letter to mortals:
In the year of Tai Sui, the white dog passed by.
I looked into the future, and blood appeared.
I explored and searched, and encountered this tomb.
It is a very evil place, and there may be changes.
The destination of the dead should not be disturbed.
Seal it here, do not open it.
The one who left the letter——Lin Xuance, the demon-killing master】
It was still an acquaintance. Xiao Jie thought that Lin Xuance was really a hard worker. He could meet him here.
And he liked to write doggerel as always.
He looked at the two paragraphs and compared them a little, and found the problem. According to what Wang Chang said, this was the Feng Shui treasure land that Yin Lingzi helped him find, which could bless his descendants to prosper, but Lin Xuance said that this was a very dangerous place and there might be abnormal changes——Isn’t that a corpse transformation?
In this case, the immortal’s words must be right. Then Yin Lingzi, the Taoist from Wang Chang’s hometown, is either a mediocre knife or has ulterior motives.
Tsk tsk tsk, thinking of the corpse king in the ancient tomb, Wang Chang was really caught in the end.
Over there, Xianyu finished reading the above content, but he didn’t hesitate at all.
"Okay, everyone, I'm going to open the tomb."
Xianyu said, filling the two spiritual stone talismans into the grooves one by one. The seal light on the door of the ancient tomb flashed a few times, and instantly turned into a stream of light and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the tall stone door of the ancient tomb. Xianyu went up and pushed hard, and the stone door of the ancient tomb slowly opened, revealing the dark tomb passage.
Haha, so cool.
"Let's go, everyone."
"Go!"
"Xianyu, you lead the way, we'll follow!"
"What are you waiting for, let's go in together."
Everyone was talking excitedly, but no one took the lead. No one was a fool. No matter how greedy they were, they had to wait for others to explore the way first.
Xiao Jie didn't rush to enter the door, but looked at the structure of the ancient tomb.
After all, the ancient tomb is different from the mine cave. The mine cave has no door or wall, and it is unobstructed. All you have to consider is the monster, while the ancient tomb has a door and a wall, and there are mechanisms and so on. If you are locked in it, it will be really fatal.
Xiao Jie has played so many tomb-exploring games that he knows that most maps of this kind are equipped with traps.
Especially the game of a certain old thief, which had tricked him to death.
There was nothing at the door, but when he stuck to the door and looked inside, he immediately found something disturbing.
Just above the tomb door, there was a thick stone slab. At first glance, it was integrated with the surrounding tomb walls, but Xiao Jie had been tricked by the tomb traps in the game countless times, so he instinctively noticed something wrong.
This can't be used to close the door and beat the dog, right?
Xiao Jie shot an arrow directly at the door with a bow and arrow.
Immune! A red word appeared.
Xiao Jie checked the battle record.
You caused 0 damage to the Dragon Breaking Stone (no defense).
Damn, there is indeed a problem!
"Stop, stop, stop shouting, there's something wrong with this door!"
"What's wrong, brother Suifeng? Do you see what's wrong?"
"Look at the stone above, that's the dragon-breaking stone, used to trap tomb robbers. I'm afraid the mechanism written on the inscription is this thing - lean against the door and look up."
Several people came up to take a look, but they couldn't see anything special.
Xianyu said: "What are you afraid of? It's just a broken stone. We have two wizards here. Can we be trapped by a stone? Besides, there are so many of us. If the mechanism is really triggered, we can just smash it open."
"No, absolutely not."
Xiao Jie was very determined this time. It would be fine to follow this group of rabble. After all, if they met a tiger, they just had to run faster than their teammates.
But if they were locked in a cage with the tiger, it would be useless no matter how fast they ran.
At most, it would be the difference between dying early and dying late.
As for the two wizards - he didn't want to rely on others for his life.
"Can your spells open the door instantly?"
Bai Ze said: "I can pass through walls, and can pass through models, but only I can pass through."
Deidara said: "This - definitely not possible. This stone looks like it must have a durability of thousands. It will probably take a while to blast it, but it's not a big problem. It will definitely be blasted open in a few minutes at most."
A few minutes? If they really encounter a big boss, a few minutes will be enough for these people to die twice.
"Sorry, I won't accompany you in this case."
Xiao Jie was decisive. In his opinion, doing anything in this game is risky, but this risk must be within a controllable range and must be solved by oneself through operation.
If it is the kind that cannot be solved by operation, it will give him a very strong feeling of being out of control.
And the situation in front of him is like this. If the door really falls, he must put all his hopes on others, and then it will be completely based on luck.
And luck is the most unreliable thing. As long as you lose a bet, there will be no play.
The appearance of this Dragon-Breaking Stone has made the risk of this matter beyond his acceptance.
In fact, if he were to enter the ancient tomb with a strong team like Qianlong Wuyong who has strict discipline and tacit cooperation, he would still consider it. After all, those people are more reliable and will definitely take responsibility if they really encounter danger.
Even if they encounter a BOSS, they can fight hard if they really can't.
But with this group of rabble now, they are reluctant to enter the door. If there is a change in the tomb, and the Dragon-Breaking Stone blocks the door, it will be a turtle in a jar.
Who can take up the heavy responsibility and take the blame? Salted fish? Or myself?
"Sorry, Xianyu, I don't think this is very reliable. Let's just forget it and don't tell all the brothers."
"Fuck, Brother Feng, you are trying to ruin my career at this time? Are you kidding me?" Xianyu was furious. "I know, you want to scare us away and then eat all the food yourself, right? Damn, I shouldn't have told you about the tomb robber's log."
Fuck, this idiot...
Xiao Jie was speechless. He now understood what it meant to be blinded by greed. This guy couldn't understand what people said at all.
"Xianyu, listen to my advice. Sometimes you shouldn't be blinded by interests. You can live a comfortable life if you quit the game now."
"Fuck, you are talking lightly - everyone listen to me, there is no BOSS here at all. If there is a BOSS, can I be so reckless? Look, this is the tomb robber's log I found before. It is clearly written on it."
So he simply posted the tomb robber's log to the chat channel.
"And the tombstone on the door clearly states that the corpse king in the ancient tomb yesterday must be Wang Chang. Now this ancient tomb is completely undefended, and there are all good things waiting for us to find.
Brother Suifeng, don't you want to have a share?"
Xiao Jie was unmoved, "I've said this, I'm going to withdraw anyway, you can choose whatever you want."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
At this time, several people wanted to retreat.
Monsoon Hidden: "Brother Feng, I'll go with you."
Beer Bubble: "Me too, it feels too dangerous."
Empire Xiaoqi: "Damn, why are you running? It's just a broken stone. With so many of us, we can break it if we really fall down and smash it."
Meng Zhangfei Xiuhua: "That's right, you are still too cowardly."
Seeing that the situation of division was inevitable, six or seven people wanted to retreat, and Xianyu decisively took out the trump card.
"Let me make it clear first. If you leave now, not only will you not get anything to share, but you will not get back the eight taels of silver. Anyway, the spirit stone and the talisman have been used."
Then the few people hesitated again. Eight taels of silver is nothing to Xiao Jie, but it is a considerable fortune for ordinary players like them.
Several people looked at Xiao Jie.
Xiao Jie said speechlessly, "Don't look at me. Your life is your own. I think the leader's words are still very reasonable. Everyone has to bear the consequences of their own choices. Maybe Xianyu can really make you rich. The key is whether you think it is worth taking this risk. Anyway, I think it is not worth it."
As he spoke, two more people returned to the team.
Finally, four people plus Xiao Jie chose to withdraw.
Xiao Jie turned around and walked away, sending a private message to Ye Luo.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Ye Luo, don't you want to withdraw?
Ye Luo: Don't worry about me. It's just a stone. It can't trap me. Don't worry. Even if something really happens, I will be fine.
Xiao Jie thought, are you so confident? But think about it, Ye Luo is wearing the black clothes of the dead, and has a passive affinity with the undead. In addition, he can be invisible in the dark, so he is indeed confident.
He couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only take a few newbies out of the cave.
Seeing Xiao Jie lead people away, everyone looked at him, and Xianyu was in a dilemma for a while.
"Damn, I will open the way myself, get out of the way!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the tomb door, but everyone followed him immediately. As long as someone took the lead, it would be easy to deal with, and even the most dangerous places could be tried.
When Xiao Jie brought the four newbies back to the first floor, Qianlong Wuyong was resting. The monsters in this game only spawn once in more than half an hour, and you can only wait slowly after killing them.
But even so, the leveling speed in this mine is also impressive, especially the digging zombies, each resurrection gives experience - of course, the experience given by not resurrecting is also halved.
Seeing Xiao Jie bring people back, Qianlong Wuyong was a little surprised.
"Hey, why are you back?"
"I encountered some potential risks, so I re-evaluated it and decided to withdraw my investment halfway."
Xiao Jie told him about the discovery of the entrance to the ancient tomb.
Qianlong Wuyong was a little surprised, "Haha, you are very cautious. Ordinary people can't resist such temptation, and even the money has been spent."
Xiao Jie laughed, "If you lead the team, I really dare to go, but if you are a slacker, forget it."
I have to say that seeing Qianlong Wuyong with a group of core members with distinctive armor, there is a sense of security.
Since I am here, it's just right to level up and get some experience.
Xiao Jie directly chose to apply to join the team, and Qianlong Wuyong also decisively accepted the application. Anyway, they are idle, so they might as well level up together.
Speaking of it, although the mine is a bit depressing now, the experience points are indeed high. Yesterday morning, I increased more than 30% of experience.
In two days, I can level up again.
In a week at most, he can reach level 19. With the two martial arts he has recently acquired, his strength has been improved enough. Then he can start the inheritance of the ancient Qi-refining master.
Let's set off quickly. He can't wait to experience the feeling of a magician.
I don't know how Ye Luo and the others are doing. If they really find some treasures in the ancient tomb...
Xiao Jie's mentality is quite complicated at this time. He also hopes that the gang can be safe and sound. After all, they are from the same guild, and they are all living lives. No matter what, he hopes that everyone is safe, not to mention that Ye Luo is still in there.
But on the other hand, Xiao Jie also hopes that something will really happen to these people to prove his foresight. Otherwise, if he retreats halfway and they find a bunch of treasures, wouldn't he become a joke?
In many things in this world, people always judge heroes by success or failure. As long as you make the wrong choice in the end, no matter how many reasons you have, you are still a fool.
As long as you make the right choice. No matter how adventurous or brainless you are, you are still a bold person with great skills.
The world is so realistic
