"How did you get down so deep?"
Walking in the dark depths of the corridor, the conversation between Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing also sounded again after a period of silence: "Didn't we escape from above together? Even if it was because we were in a panic or because we were desperate
If they got separated while rolling around, the gap on the floors shouldn't be too big."
"Of course it's because I got lost - I don't know whether those paths lead up or down."
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who took the initiative to walk to the front between the two people and focused on the surroundings of the passage, replied without looking back: "It's the same as the current situation, I just randomly found someone after I woke up.
The direction started to move, and then we encountered those skeleton enemies."
"What about the middle? Have you found anything in the middle?" So Duan Qing pointed to the walls around the corridor where the two people were: "What's the situation on the other side? Is it the same terrain and layout?"
"I don't know, the light is too dim." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was walking ahead and groping for the road, shook his head and glanced back involuntarily: "But at least there are corridors and artificial walls.
Countless places that look like doorways to rooms—well.”
"Just like here." She said this, and her footsteps stopped at the door of one of the rooms they had just approached: "I had been playing with those skeletons before, and I didn't have the chance to come in and explore. Now I finally have one.
for such an opportunity.”
"Don't worry, we haven't smelled them yet. Even if there are a lot of skeletons inside, we still have ways to deal with them." Duan Qing, who was following behind against the wall, responded with a smile: "Open the door.
I cover."
"...Why did I open the door?"
"Because I am weak."
Pointing to the metallic light buried beneath the heavy dust in front of the two people, Duan Qing smiled at the other person. Facing this face, Xue Ling Huan Bing also curled her mouth helplessly and moved her body slightly.
Then he also took a step back: "Then get out of my way."
"Drink!"
boom!
A harsh muffled sound accompanied by a bright metal collision appeared in front of the two people. The white-haired woman with raised eyebrows then flew up and kicked the seemingly solid door backwards, bright and clear.
The radiance was then accompanied by the appearance of two magic barriers covering the human body, shining towards the suddenly unfolding space behind: "——Hu."
"There is no one there." Facing the unobstructed view in the small room, the two players gradually relaxed their tense bodies: "Really, we are so nervous in vain."
"It's always okay to be careful, at least there won't be any accidents." Duan Qing gave out two comforting smiles, and then took the lead to enter the scope of the room in front of him: "After all, we are in the enemy's lair.
Inside, any form of inspection or exploration puts us at risk."
"It looks like a warehouse." Xue Ling Huan Bing walked into the same room holding up his sword and shield. He looked around with a frown, and then his sighing eyes fell on the one he had just kicked open.
On the surface of the metal door: "It's not locked either...Has the contents been emptied?"
"No, it looks like there are still a lot of things stored." Squatting on the ground not far away from her, Duan Qing leaned over and pointed at the countless metal parts scattered in front of him: "But it has been so long, these
I’m afraid the thing has lost its original function.”
"At least it doesn't look like a key prop." Xue Ling Huanbing also walked behind Duan Qing and looked at the strange metal objects in front of Duan Qing: "There are no hints or clues...
Hey, it would be nice to give you a map or something."
"Let's go back to the previous topic." Duan Qing tentatively reached out and touched one of the metal parts, and then carefully picked it up: "What evil things did you do over there? How did you attract so many
Skeleton enemies?”
"Why can't it be because I'm more charming?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who reached out and brushed the braids on her shoulders to the back, then bent over and struck an enchanting pose, also puffed out her chest.
: "When you see an urban beauty like me, any monster will rush towards you, right?"
"..."
"Okay, actually it was because the field of vision was too poor, so I accidentally attracted some of them." Faced with Duan Qing's reaction of still checking carefully, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was pouting, also put away his joking posture.
And the expression: "I don't know the road, so I can only resist and run around. As a result, not only did I not find the exit, but I attracted more and more enemies."
"This train finally reached the exit I just saw, right?" He carefully put down the metal part in front of him, and Duan Qing also turned his head: "Fortunately
I happened to see it, otherwise you wouldn't even have a chance to hang it on the wall."
"I didn't expect to run such a long distance." He stretched out his hand to open his adventurer map, and Xue Ling Huanbing's eyes kept crossing the positions he had experienced before: "Logically speaking, we should come from the same place.
You are the one who escaped from this place. Even if you were separated, you probably wouldn’t have traveled such a long distance..."
"Relics, any possible situation is acceptable." Duan Qing tilted his head, clapped his hands and stood up, and replied in a low voice: "Just like these metal parts we see now -
—”
"I didn't expect that the Wind Continent, which is so backward in magic and technology, would actually have such high-grade metal parts buried in it."
He said these words, and at the same time stretched out his hand to gesture back and forth between the large number of unknown objects scattered on the ground in front of him. He noticed a trace of abnormal Xue Ling Huan Bing and turned his sight when he heard the sound, with a look of curiosity that could not be concealed.
Asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with these metal parts? What are they used for?"
"I don't know." His eyebrows seemed to be tangled together again, and Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "But I can feel other things, such as the seemingly small component I just checked, but it is actually
There are twelve layers of circular magic circuits hidden."
"Although I don't understand what you are talking about, I can still understand part of it." Xue Ling Huan Bing also curled her lips: "If we use the real world to explain: this little
There are actually a large number of precision electronic circuits hidden inside the parts, is that what you mean?"
"Yes, all the parts are likely to be like this." Staring at the front of this small room, Duan Qing took a deep breath: "Although it is not standard production, there is a high possibility of it being discarded, but
The person who controls so many precision components——"
"This Varro ruins may be a place left by a tribe with great technology."
Quickly looking around at the undecorated walls, Duan Qing gradually calmed down his sighs. After contemplating for a while, he turned around and walked towards the door where he came from, taking firm steps as expected.
This aroused Xue Ling Huan Bing's doubts: "Hey, why don't you take a few parts with you?"
"I don't know where these parts should be used." Duan Qing paused for a moment, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "And the most important thing is, I don't know whether these parts are the same as those black skeletons.
Regarding it, it’s best not to take these things that may attract their attention.”
"Is this another unfounded guess about game design?" With a slight sigh, Xue Ling Huan Bing also turned around and chased after Duan Qing: "Since we can't find a use for them, let's not bring them."
"Don't forget that our goal now is to leave here." Duan Qing, who had walked out of the warehouse room, had also turned the corner in front: "It is not a good thing for us to know too much history of this place.
I won’t pay attention to these things. The most important thing now is to find a way out. After solving the problem of a certain missing person——"
His words suddenly stopped, and the sound of his footsteps suddenly became much softer. Then Xue Ling Huan Bing, who walked out of the warehouse, couldn't help but tighten his hands on the sword and shield, and his voice also changed as he followed him.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Are there any enemies?"
"Probably so." Duan Qing, who answered her, was already lurking against the wall at the edge of the corridor: "But I just smelled the rotten smell belonging to those skeletons. I'm not sure which side it came from."
"Which side?"
Subconsciously asking this question, Xue Ling Huan Bing quickly found the answer to why the other party asked such a question. An arch at the end of the corridor was also illuminated by Duan Qing's magic light source.
Two staircase-like passages downstairs appeared in their field of vision: "...I see, it's upstairs or downstairs."
"Is your nose working? Can you find their origin?"
"Do you think I'm some kind of animal?" He knocked Duan Qing's head angrily, and then Xue Ling Huan Bing ducked over the body of the gray-robed magician: "We use more direct methods.
means."
"Hey you--"
The low shout did not stop the white-haired woman from moving forward. The light footsteps and silent forward gesture quickly disappeared behind the arch. Duan Qing, who had no time to react, had to
He raised the magic stick in his hand, trying to put more light that could help the opponent into the scope of the arch: "Really, even if you really become stronger, you don't have to think of yourself as omnipotent.
Let the talented people use it... Huh?"
"So fast?" He looked at Xue Ling Huan Bing's figure reappearing in front of the light source, and the steps he just wanted to follow stopped in place: "You won't be blocked at the door, right?"
"No, it's almost the same." Duan Qing's body was quickly pulled away in the direction away from him.
It's approaching us, and it will probably come out soon."
"How many are there?"
"I don't have such a strong visual inspection ability. Anyway, I saw a dark place."
He hurriedly retreated to the entrance of the warehouse where he was just now, and Xueling Huanbing, who was hiding in the corner, stretched out his head again: "I don't know how their eyesight and hearing are. Have they noticed that we are nearby?
"
"If that's the case, it seems we can't compete head-on." Duan Qing, who also hid here, also began to look for countermeasures in a hurry: "Hide here and wait for them to pass? Is there any way to close this door?
"
"This, this...after all, after such a long time, it is normal for damage to occur..."
"It was obviously your kick just now that broke it! Damn it, are our luck so bad that even a random kick will become a foreshadowing?"
The sound of bones colliding with each other immediately appeared in front of the two people. The approaching smell of decay and the urgent sense of crisis also quickly suppressed the words of the two people.
He felt helpless and helpless, and his body that was ready to go tensed up towards the end of the corridor. It seemed that he had also discovered some kind of abnormality, and the swaying steps of the skeletons all stopped at the next moment.
On the same spot, the breathless silence spread out as the two sides almost separated by a wall became silent at the same time. It seemed that even the sound of sweat dripping from Duan Qing's forehead and falling to the ground became clear and audible: "——"
“Threat found, cleanup begins.”
The sudden mechanical and electronic sound then sounded at the end of the corridor. The first thing to break the tense atmosphere was another human-shaped black shadow that suddenly appeared behind the arch. The shadowless blade dance was also followed by
The silent buzzing echoed under the declaration-like electronic sound, and at the same time, Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huanbing's actions that they had just planned to launch an attack were pushed back. The clicks and dark red sounds belonging to the skeleton
The pupil light then flashed in the center of the corridor, and the next moment it turned into a harsh scream when countless bones and metal collided with each other. The ground bone powder and cut into countless bone fragments followed
Accompanied by the tooth-painful sound of metal cutting passing by one after another, wave after wave reached the back of the corridor where Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huanbing were hiding: "...I'll kill you, this...
It’s too miserable.”
"It's nothing more than crushing bones and scattering ashes."
The one-sided smashing sound soon showed signs of fading, and the sound that seemed to represent the end of the massacre gradually attracted the surprised attention of the two players again: "What happened? Who is it--"
"Discovered life forms, identified: first-level organisms."
The next moment heavy footsteps fell in front of the two people, the foot representing the figure was also reflecting the bright light of metal in Duan Qing's eyes, and the half of the body reflected in the warehouse door was also sweeping across the entire
The emerald green ray in the room slowly froze in front of the two players who were very close: "Comparing the stored objects - the comparison is over."
"No corresponding identity found."
The mechanical figure made a ticking sound, and finally announced in a low voice with an emotionless tone.
