Chapter 268 The first act opens

In such a void of darkness, if they stay for a long time, many people may have a nervous breakdown.

Although Wang Ke usually had a calm expression, but at this time facing this endless empty darkness, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She reached out her hand and wanted to hold the old demon's hand, but because of the two of them, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

The degree of intimacy was not high enough, so the female player protection system set up by the system suddenly took effect. As soon as her hands came into contact with the old demon, they were bounced away.

This scene made Wang Ke slightly stunned, and then he raised his hand to take a look... "Don't worry, I think this scene will disappear soon!" Seeing her like this, the old demon couldn't help but comfort her.

One sound.

Wang Ke nodded and said nothing more.

Things were as expected by the old demon. Due to the agreed time, Puppet Wolf and Shahu came in quickly. After they came in, they were suspended not far away from the old demon and Wang Ke, so although they were also stunned,

But then I realized that this was the special waiting setting of the Dark Arena.

"The entry has been confirmed, the number of players is 4, the number of teams is 2, the default is hostile relationship, and the opening conditions are met. The dark arena system will be loaded and opened soon, please wait..."

As the sound of the system echoed emptyly, the four of them knew that the Dark Arena was about to open, so Shahu smiled at the old demon from a distance and said: "I didn't expect you to come in, I thought you would

You are escaping from battle!"

The old demon curled his lips and said: "Actually, I really want to say this too. If you surrender, you will lose half the money. You might as well surrender as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may not even have time to regret it later!"

"Oh, really? Then we are looking forward to it!" Puppet Wolf and Shahu looked at each other and smiled.

While talking, the Dark Arena system seemed to have been opened, and the infinite darkness around them slowly disappeared. When they came back to their senses, the four of them discovered that they were already in an ancient basement room.

"The first act of the Dark Arena, the endless maze opens!"

The empty system sound echoed again, letting everyone know the name of this level.

"Next, please listen carefully to the rules of the Dark Arena! First, players can use any items and skills in the Dark Arena except for Town Recall Scrolls. Second, the Arena mode is a survival challenge, but the opposing parties can freely proceed.

Attack. 3. In the dark arena, no resurrection props can be used. Once dead, it will be considered a failure, all items will be exploded, and the level will be reset to the initial level 1. 4. After the competition starts, players cannot quit midway.

Forcibly logging off will be judged as abstention, and the penalty of death will remain the same."

After such rules were explained by System 1, except for the old demon and the king, the puppet wolf and the sand fox were all stunned!

"What...what's going on!?" Puppet Wolf exclaimed: "Didn't you say that you only lose 100 million experience points after you die!? How could it become a level reset!?"

"Damn it! That guy Lin Feng! How dare you lie to us!?" Shahu said angrily.

Looking at the two people who were panicking due to the unexpected death penalty rule, the old demon smiled coldly and said: "How about it, I just told you to surrender and you lost half of it. Who told you not to listen?"

Shahu reacted immediately, turned around and looked at the old demon and said coldly: "I'm afraid you have known about such death punishment for a long time, right? Otherwise, you should have the same reaction as us!"

The old demon didn't speak, just nodded.

"Damn it!" Puppet Wolf couldn't help but also cursed loudly, pointing at the old demon and said: "Then why didn't you tell us in the first place!?"

"Telling you?" The old demon suddenly laughed: "Why should I tell you? Don't forget, you proposed to enter this dark arena. We are hostile, how could I tell you such a situation?

If it were you, would you tell me?"

Puppet Wolf and Shahu were immediately speechless. Indeed, they had no obligation to tell themselves this... 100 million experience, for Puppet Wolf and Shahu, even if they lost it, they would only drop their level to around level 30, and

It's not a hindrance. This is why they agreed to use the dark arena method in the first place. If they wanted to reduce the old demon's level by more than 10 levels on the peaceful map, they would probably have to chase the old demon hundreds of times.

It is precisely because they are aware of this trouble that they use this once and for all method.

But now, things have gone beyond their expectations. They have lost 100 million experience points and dropped to level 30. They can quickly get their level back by completing tasks in the battlefield, but clearing the level means they have to return to Novice Village and start over again.

At the beginning, the contrast between the two was completely different... "What should we do?" Puppet Wolf privately chatted with Shahu anxiously, asking: "The risk we take is too great!"

"Don't worry!" Contrary to Puppet Wolf, Shahu quickly calmed down and replied: "You should think of it this way. Both of us are in danger of having our levels cleared. If we fail, our levels will be cleared, and so will they if they fail.

The same, the risks are the same for both parties, there is no need to panic now!"

The two of them were whispering there, and the old demon looked at their actions and smiled coldly. The old demon and Wang had known about the dark arena for a long time, and they knew the danger in this way.

In extremely extreme circumstances, if the two of them want to come in, they will naturally be mentally prepared for it. But Puppet Wolf is different from Shahu. They only learned about it after they came in. Even though Shahu has a higher IQ, he is very smart.

They can quickly analyze the pros and cons and calm down, but in any case, their mental preparation time is much shorter than that of the old demon king. Even though they calm down quickly, in fact, death

The impact of punishment is not so simple to eliminate. Their calmness is actually just a superficial phenomenon... This is the advantage of Lao Yao and Wang Ke. Although they don't know what kind of survival challenge they will face next,

The level of tension is not simple just by imagining it. Different emotions will affect the subsequent performance of their respective strengths. No matter how powerful the puppet wolf and the sand fox are, as long as they are slightly affected in the competition, it will probably be fatal.

...The system naturally ignored the psychological activities of both parties. The Dark Arena was still opened step by step. In this room, a stone door appeared on the left and right sides. The system prompted the two teams to choose a door to enter.

Lao Yao and Wang Ke walked into the stone door on the left without hesitation, while Puppet Wolf and Shahu looked at the stone door, still hesitating.

"You can't quit, you can't give up, and you can't even force yourself offline!" Puppet Wolf scratched his head in annoyance and said, "What on earth are we going to do? How about going in?"

Shahu looked around and said: "According to the system, this first level looks like a maze, and since it is a survival challenge, there might be powerful monsters in the maze. Let's just go inside this room."

Wait and see, if they are killed by monsters as soon as they enter the stone door and enter the maze, maybe we can win without a fight!"

I have to say that Shahu is indeed a bit smart, and he actually thought of using this room as a safe zone... However, Lin Tiansheng, who saw this scene on the background monitor, couldn't help laughing.

Said: "You can think of things, how could our programmers not think of it? If you had reacted faster before, you might have been able to kill the opponent in the room, but now... you have no chance for the time being!

"

As expected, things were just as Lin Tiansheng said. Puppet Wolf and Shahu had not stayed in this room for long before they heard the voice from the system: "Please select the stone door to enter as soon as possible. The remaining time is 30 seconds. If the countdown ends,

After that, if there is still no choice, the system will regard it as a waiver and the death penalty will remain the same!"

Puppet Wolf and Shahu were dumbfounded. They did not expect that this room could not be used. In the end, they had to rush into the stone door on the right... "Okay, now it officially begins!" Lin Tiansheng held his hands and said with a smile: "Switch

Let’s make it into two pictures, one on each side, so we can observe better..."

...After coming out of the stone door, what appeared in front of Lao Yao and Wang Ke was a dark corridor, just like what was shown in a horror movie. It stretched straight, but there was no light in front of it.

, seems a bit eerie.

Having said that, in fact, most of the content in this game has an obvious dark style, which seems to follow the style of Diablo, a game long ago. Of course, there is no exception here... Lao Yao and Wang Ke

Not long after we walked forward carefully together, we encountered the first fork in the road!

"This first level seems to be in the form of a maze!" The two stood in front of the fork in the road, and the old demon said: "In other words, the road needs to be explored, and how to get out of the maze is the key."

Wang Ke nodded and said: "I seem to have heard someone say that the general way to walk in a maze is to go to the right?"

The old demon shook his head and said: "Don't listen to this. The way to navigate the maze depends on trial and error anyway. You can't know what the designer is thinking. How can you use routines to substitute it?"

"Then, should we go separately?" Wang Ke asked.

"Can't separate!" The old demon rejected Wang Ke's proposal and said: "Have you forgotten, didn't the system say that this is a survival challenge? In other words, there are likely to be a large number of monsters in this maze. Originally, we

The number of people is small enough. If we go separately, we will be unable to survive alone when encountering monsters, so it’s best to go together!”

"Well, it's up to you!" Wang Ke nodded.

Since we decided to explore the road first, it didn't matter which way we went. Lao Yao and Wang Ke turned to the right and walked into the fork on the right.

The old demon was walking in front, and Wang Ke was following behind him. There was a small distance between the two of them. This was to prevent the two of them from being hit together in the event of an emergency. But what happened next?

But it completely disrupted their original thoughts... Not long after walking into the corridor on the right, Wang Ke from behind saw that the entire space around the old demon's place suddenly blurred, no, to be more precise.

Say, it’s twisted!

"Old demon, be careful!" Wang Ke said quickly.

The old demon was in the middle of it, but he didn't notice anything unusual around him. When Wang Ke shouted, he realized that something was wrong, so he quickly wanted to retreat.

But it was too late at this time. After the surrounding space was distorted for a while, Huo Di emitted a ray of light, which stung Wang Ke and blocked his eyes with his hands. However, when the light disappeared, the old demon's figure had disappeared!

"Old demon!?" Wang Ke exclaimed. After reacting, he quickly tried to contact the old demon using a friend message, but found that he could not be contacted at all. The system kept sending prompts saying that he was currently in a special map and could not be contacted.

Looking at the empty corridor, Wang Ke was a little confused for a moment... Lin Tiansheng, who saw this scene at this time, recorded in the notes in his hand: "In the first scene of the Dark Arena, there are endless mazes and a large number of space traps.

Among them, entrants will be separated from their teammates one after another at the very beginning, and will be unable to contact..."

"What will you do?" Lin Tiansheng looked at the screen with a smile and thought to himself: "How will you get out of this maze when you lose your teammates and are left alone?"
