Jibu, who was listening to Murong Ying's explanation of Jianghu affairs one by one, as well as Xiao Tan and Bei Ling who were underground, also heard the reminder of the main mission update. Although they got limited information from the few words of this mission prompt,
But the two key words "ring in the realm" and "soul" were enough for them to understand that this script was not just a simple martial arts world.
"This 'Bell Realm'..." Xiao Tan said as he walked: "Is it similar to the 'Hu Zhong Realm' and 'Heavenly Book World' in the Xuanyuan Sword series?"
"Yes, the script has changed from a martial arts to a fairy tale with a supernatural feel." Sadling replied, "But the giant crocodile monster we encountered earlier is already a supernatural setting, so there is nothing surprising about it.
"
"Well... Anyway, I have some clues about the main mission now. Maybe Brother Jue and Sister Yu will clear the level before we get out of here." Xiaotan said.
"Stop dreaming..." Sad Spirit immediately poured cold water on him: "It can be seen from the initial introduction that no matter what setting is hidden in the script, the plot will eventually have nothing to do with the duel between the two swordsmen.
It’s irrelevant, but we haven’t discovered the connection yet. But as the exploration of the script increases, there will eventually be clues that will lead us to that duel.”
"Hmm... Is there a huge conspiracy behind every duel between peerless masters..." Xiao Tan continued.
"What do you think?" Bailing replied; "For a duel, two people can just make an appointment to find an open space and decide the winner. Why did you come to this ghost town on a full moon night?
, it would be strange if there is no conspiracy."
While they were talking, the tunnel in front of the two of them had reached the end, and there was actually a dead end in front of them. A rock wall made the road airtight.
"No way..." Sad Ling muttered, "I also think your luck has always been good."
"Ah?" Xiaotan was stunned for a moment: "So it was for this reason that you asked me to guess?"
"What do you think?" Sadling said feebly. She was quite discouraged. Because the road from the intersection to the end was quite long, and it took the two of them more than half an hour to get here. If they hit a wall here,
, which means they have wasted a lot of time and physical energy.
Starting from falling into the pool, Xiao Tan and Bei Ling swam ashore. They explored, encountered monsters, turned back, and fought. Then they moved forward and explored again... By the time they got here, the two of them had already reached half of their physical fitness. Although they could stop at any time.
They can recover in place and rest as long as they want, but Sad Ling knows very well that spending time here will be a potential threat to the team. Wait until sunset, if they do not return to the inn room as originally planned, it will definitely affect
Depending on the next actions of his teammates, this may lead to a series of unpredictable changes and risks.
Therefore, their main goal is to leave this underground cave as quickly as possible and safely.
"Hmm..." Xiao Tan seemed to be infected by the sad expression on Sad Spirit's face. He also frowned and thought deeply, "Huh? Maybe this wall is the same as the previous metal body and can be unlocked or something?" He said,
I stepped forward and touched the rock wall with my hands, trying to see if a system menu would pop up in my sight.
Sad Spirit sighed: "The unlockable system creations are all obvious, and this kind of scenery is used to block roads at first glance..." Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, the rock wall changed unexpectedly.
This is indeed not the kind of system setting that will provide menu prompts to the player, but after Xiao Tan touched the rock mass with his hand, a layer of cuttings on the surface of the rock wall instantly fell off, and the center of the rock wall was exposed.
A circular concave area, the diameter of this groove is about fifty centimeters, and the inside is flat and smooth. Under the light, you can see that there is a Tai Chi symbol printed in this groove.
[Side mission has been triggered]
[Look for the Yin and Yang stone slabs and open the stone door]
"Is this okay?" Sadling was dumbfounded. As soon as this task was triggered, she understood... At the previous crossroads, you probably have to walk every way. There is a stone slab on the left and right sides, and here is the middle
The location of the stone gate.
"So, if you give everything a try, maybe something good will happen." Xiao Tan said with a smile.
"Are you a good gentleman?" Bei Lingxu replied with eyes: "Stop blaming, you still have to go back to find the slate. Objectively speaking, taking the middle path first is still a waste of an extra hour of time and effort.
physical strength."
Xiao Tan supported the miner's hat, walked around the sad spirit, and walked in the opposite direction: "Objectively speaking, you asked me to guess at the beginning, but in the end... oops... okay, I was wrong!"
The two of them turned back all the way again and came to the intersection, this time they chose the path on the left.
Fortunately, the tunnel on this side did not extend very far. They only walked for five or six minutes before arriving at another more open cave.
In fact, at the intersection, Bei Ling also considered splitting up. It would save a lot of time for the two of them to get a stone slab each. But she quickly gave up the idea... Mainly because she was not confident about Xiao Tan's ability to handle the problem alone.
I'm afraid this kid will never come back.
"Be careful and pay attention to your surroundings." Beiling reminded softly from behind Xiao Tan. After entering the cave, she became obviously alert.
Xiao Tan replied: "Ah... I understand." He also knew that according to the usual nature of the game, there must be some kind of flag to test the players, either monsters or puzzles.
Sure enough, the two of them had just walked within ten meters, when they saw a fire appear deep in the cave, and a strange figure whose whole body was burning with flames came out.
The shadow's agility is simply unbelievable, and it rushes to a short distance in front of the player in a few seconds. Then it jumps high from the ground, as if it is completely unaffected by gravity, and jumps directly to the top of the cave.
He hugged a stalactite hanging upside down from the ceiling of the cave, looked at the two players from a high place, and made a strange noise from his mouth.
"Is this guy a Digimon..." Xiaotan said while looking at the monster. At the same time, he had already taken out the shotgun.
"Shoot carefully, don't let the opponent get close to you when changing bullets." At this moment, Beiling ignored Xiaotan's complaints and gave an instruction very seriously.
Xiao Tan stopped joking and focused on the battle in front of him.
The monster in front of me is about 1.6 meters long, looks like an ape, and has a ruby-like face that seems to be made of crystal. Its fur is golden red, and its body surface is actually burning with a layer of flames. It also has a long curly tail like a whip cord.
Behind the buttocks, the tip of its tail is also a diamond-shaped red crystal.
The way this fire ape appears is quite sharp, and with its unique shape, it is basically a mini-boss level monster.
Another ape cry came, and the fire ape ducked down, moved laterally, and hid behind a rock. From this moment on, the battle officially began.
…………
Feng Bujue and Siyu each held a bell and jumped into the crack in the ground. They didn't know how long it took before the black velvet-like darkness in front of their eyes finally faded away.
When they came back to their senses, they were standing side by side on a plain with magnificent scenery. The sun was high in the sky, and the white clouds were misty. Under their feet were lying green grass, an expanse of green grass. And in the far distance as far as the eye could see,
In the misty clouds, you can see the surrounding mountains standing tall, and the cliffs piercing the sky, as horizontal as a screen.
Turning around and looking back, there was a different scene dozens of feet behind the two of them, as if it were the end of the world. However, they saw long slopes and steep slopes, boundless and boundless, and the mountains and valleys were closed by clouds and fog, making it bottomless.
.
About ten meters to their side, there is a stone tablet standing tall. The body of the tablet is like a hill, standing tall, with three large characters "Ling Zhong Jing" engraved on it.
"This is interesting." Feng Bujue looked at the stone tablet from a distance and said with a smile, "The handwriting seems familiar."
"Cangling Town?" Siyu continued. She didn't have much research on handwriting, but she could guess what Feng Bujue was referring to.
"Yes, it seems that 'Hidden Ling' will become 'Cangling'. There is indeed some reason..." Feng Bujue said facing Xiyu. Suddenly, his eyes changed and a smile appeared on his lips.
: "Oh, there's a beauty here."
Xiyu inadvertently avoided his gaze: "What is this...do you think I will be happy if you compliment me without any warning during the conversation?"
"Well... I mean she..." Feng Bujue tilted his head slightly, looked over Xi Yu's shoulder, raised his hand, and pointed in the direction behind Xi Yu.
Xiyu turned around and looked around, and found a woman walking slowly towards this side of the plain.
The woman wears a plain green robe and wears a long sword at her waist. She has a graceful figure and a strong gait. Although she is still some distance away from the two of them, her appearance can already be seen, and she must be a beauty.
"Hmph..." Xiyu snorted coldly and turned to face the person who came, looking in the direction of the figure with Feng Bujue.
"Although I put on an attitude of 'I won't be happy even if you praise me', you didn't seem too happy when you found out that I didn't praise you." Feng Bujue said with a smile.
"Am I such a childish person?" Xiyu replied coldly.
"This is not a question of childishness..." Feng Bujue said: "You should have read such a sentence in "The Second-rate Detective and the Cat"..." He paused: "Women need food, water, and horses.
Farts and a pair of versatile shoes.”
"I have read it, but I disagree." Siyu replied, "This deeply sexist and one-sided subjective argument has no logic at all."
"Ah... so I wrote in this month's manuscript..." Feng Bujue said: "And men only need the approval of a certain woman to survive."
While they were chatting, the woman had already come closer. She glanced at Feng Bujue and Siyu respectively, then clasped her fists and said, "Where is Mei Jianlu Qingning? I accidentally entered this place. I wonder if you two knew this place."
Where is it? How do I get back to Cangling Town?"
"Luo Mei Sword..." Xiyu whispered in his mouth after hearing the words, and quickly remembered that this person should also be one of the Six Swordsmen of Huaying.
Feng Bujue said directly: "Oh? Are you Lin Chang's junior sister?"
Unexpectedly, when Lu Qingning heard the word "Lin Chang", he immediately put on a hostile look, raised his sword horizontally and said, "Could it be that you are the people sent by Lin Chang?"
