Chapter 14: The Labyrinth of Darkness (Part 1)

The night was thick, and the thick window paper blocked the moonlight, making the room extremely dark, and not even a trace of light could be seen. Zhao was lying on his bed, covered with a palm-thick cotton quilt, with his eyes closed and immersed in the system

, flipping through the contents of the copy. If he only entered the system to check things, his five senses would not be affected. His ears could still hear the snoring of the two roommates, and his skin could feel the warmth from the quilt.

After so many days of accumulation, Zhao Zheng's points have exceeded 200 and he can unlock a new dungeon. He is hesitating which dungeon to unlock.

Among the five dungeons of Dark Labyrinth, Tangled Wooden Pillars, Shooting Range, Endless Sand Land, and Wooden Man House, the two more useful ones at the moment are Dark Labyrinth Cave and Wooden Man House. From Dark Labyrinth Cave,

You can find treasure chests hiding various items, and the wooden house can improve your actual combat experience.

Zhao Zheng had just learned the skill of small grappling. He only learned a trick and did not know how to use the moves in actual combat. From this point of view, opening the copy of Wooden House is the most suitable choice, but from another point of view,

If you look at it, that's not the case.

Zhao Zheng came to Hongchen Inn in order to obtain the high-grade martial arts "Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing", rather than to learn some small grappling skills. In order to obtain the "Nine Meridians and Six Yuan Jing", he must first learn a middle-grade or above Qinggong.

And he will have to practice to a certain level before he can do it. Therefore, what he lacks most now is Qinggong secrets, not actual combat experience.

Among several Gui-level dungeons, only in the Dark Labyrinth is it possible to get the martial arts secrets by luck. Although the chance of getting the secrets is very low, it is worth a try. Moreover, Zhao Zheng's points have just exceeded 200, and he has just activated the Dark Labyrinth.

Well, if you want to activate the wooden house, you have to wait for quite a while.

After much thought, Zhao Zheng decided to open the Dark Labyrinth first and try his luck in this dungeon. As for the other dungeons, he could only put them aside for the time being. Having made up his mind, he moved his mind to the Dark Labyrinth.

Above the options, click the unlock button.

[Tip: Does the host need to spend 200 points to unlock the Dark Labyrinth of Gui and other dungeons?]

【whether】

Now that Zhao Zheng had decided, he no longer hesitated and clicked yes directly.

I saw a rosy cloud flash across the panel, and the Dark Labyrinth Dungeon copy that originally only had a brief introduction now had more detailed content and became accessible.



Dark Labyrinth: A complex labyrinth located in the underground world. The space is very large, and it is extremely dark inside. You can only rely on torches to illuminate it. There are no dangerous creatures in the labyrinth, but you must be careful of some sharp stones. Inside the labyrinth

There will be a mysterious treasure box hidden. Every time you enter the maze, the location of the treasure box will change. What items will appear in the treasure box will appear completely randomly.

Points required to enter: 2.

Supplies: 1 set of cloth, 1 pot of water, 3 bottles of golden sore medicine, 1 bundle of bandages, 3 torches.

Time limit: 5 hours.



The Dark Labyrinth is very different from the Kongming Quiet Room. First of all, the supplies have changed a lot, and secondly, the time limit has been greatly shortened. Obviously, if it is for cultivation, the Dark Labyrinth is not a suitable choice. It is only suitable for use here.

Come and try your luck on adventure.

The supplies in this dungeon include medical supplies such as gold sore medicine and bandages. It can be seen that there are certain risks in the maze, and you can easily get injured, so you need to be careful.

Zhao Zheng had a young heart at heart and was very keen on exploring. He could not help but feel excited. This excitement far outweighed his fear of this cave. He excitedly used his mind to enter the dark cave, but there was no trace of it.

Can successfully enter, but caused a prompt sound.

[Tip: If there are other people around you, the copy function is temporarily locked. If you want to enter, please find another place where there is no one]

Zhao Zheng slapped his forehead. He was so eager to explore new things that he even forgot this rule. There were two other waiters in his room. As long as others were present, he could not enter the dungeon. In order to enter the dungeon, he had to

I uncovered the warm quilt, got out of bed, put on my cloth shoes, walked all the way in the dark, unlatched the door, opened the door and left the house.

When he got outside, Zhao Zheng turned around and closed the door. He closed his eyes and tried to enter the dungeon again. Since there was no one in the corridor, he successfully entered the dungeon this time. His eyes suddenly turned black and the touch of his body disappeared, as if he was weightless. When

When he regained consciousness, he was already in another unfamiliar environment.

This is a part of the cave. There is endless darkness in front and behind. There is a burning torch stuck on the stone wall. The fire dances fiercely and makes crackling sounds from time to time. Under the torch, there are

A cloth bag and two bare wooden sticks. The cloth bag must contain gold sore medicine and bandages. These are all the supplies in the dungeon.

Zhao Zheng looked around. Under the light of the fire, he could see the surrounding area of ​​about ten feet. The stone walls in the cave were gray, the ground was uneven, undulating, and some stones were very sharp, enough to scratch the skin. From both ends of the cave,

In the darkness, there were various sounds, including the sound of dripping water and the sound of wind blowing. The sound of wind sounded particularly scary, just like the scream of a ghost.

Zhao Zheng felt a little nervous when he heard the wind. He raised his fist and hit his chest twice to give himself some courage. Then he walked towards the stone wall, pulled out the torch from the crack in the stone, and held it in his hand. The flame was hot.

The blow to his face was very roasting. He leaned down, picked up the cloth bag, and slung it on his shoulder. Then he picked up two spare wooden sticks and inserted them into his belt.

Zhao Zheng looked at the front, then at the back, and randomly chose a path to move forward. If you are lucky, you can find a treasure box hidden in the cave. Once you open it, you can get the items in it. The items in the treasure box are

The ones that appear randomly may be martial arts secrets, or they may be swords and sharp edges, just like a lottery. Zhao Zheng really hopes to get a secret book teaching Qing Kung in the treasure box, so that he doesn't have to learn Luo Yan from Shen Luoxia.

Stepped.

Among Zhao Zheng's innate attributes, luck was particularly poor, so he didn't expect to find the treasure chest on the first exploration. This time he came in just to explore the way. He held the torch and moved forward slowly.

The cave seems to be naturally formed. The terrain is high and low, wide and narrow, and sometimes there are forks in the road. The ground under your feet is extremely bumpy, and it is very painful to walk on. Some stones are as sharp as awls. If you step on them accidentally,

, you have to pierce the soles of your feet. If you move forward in this kind of terrain, you can't go too fast even if you have a torch in your hand.

Zhao was moving forward with concentration, not daring to be careless at all. If he encountered a fork in the road, he would make a choice based on his sixth sense. He walked like this, and unknowingly spent more than half an hour, and the torch in his hand had burned out.

Most of it was left, but not much was left. Because the flame was too close to his hand, the skin on his hand was burned hot. If it was baked for a while, he would definitely be burned.

"The time limit for this dungeon is five hours, but the three torches can only be used for more than two hours, which means that I have to spend more than half of the time in the dark. It turns out that this is the difficulty of this dungeon.

"Zhao Zheng complained secretly in his heart. In order to save the use of torches, he was not willing to throw away the half-burned torch, but changed his hand to hold it.

After walking forward for a while, Zhao Zheng couldn't hold his hand any longer. The sparks falling from the flames had burned the skin on his hands. In desperation, he used the remaining torch to ignite another fire.

Then he inserted half of the torch into a crack between stones and continued moving forward. The stone is not flammable anyway, so there is no need to worry about the torch causing a fire.

Zhao was walking along the rugged road and entered a dead end. A huge stone stood in front of him, blocking the cave airtight. He was not discouraged. He checked around the dead end and found nothing.

, turned around and looked for another way.

Choosing a new path to move forward, Zhao Zheng discovered a rather special path. The terrain of this road was very low and extended downward. After reaching the bottom, turbid water began to appear on the ground, and the further he went, the more he walked.

The deeper the water.

The more special the place, the more likely it is to find special things. This is Zhao Zheng's experience in playing games before. He faced the difficulties and continued to move forward through the water. The bottom of the water was as uneven as the previous road, so he walked very slowly.

He was slow, for fear of being scratched by invisible stones. The light from the torch shone on the water, reflecting Zhao Zheng's blurry figure. He didn't know what was hidden under the turbid water, and he couldn't see through it at all.

At first, the sewage only reached Zhao Zheng's ankles. As Zhao Zheng went deeper, the sewage had already submerged up to his waist. Every step forward required a lot of effort. If he went further, he would probably have to swim.

But if he swims, the torch will inevitably go out. He has no tools to start a fire. Once the torch goes out, it can no longer be ignited, and the rest of the way will have to be in darkness.

Zhao Zheng was standing in the water. He was sweating from the fire above his waist, and his joints were aching from the cold water below his waist. It was really like a world of ice and fire. He was already quite tired, breathing heavily and showing hesitation on his face.

At this moment, his feet were numb from the cold and his senses were reduced. He became unsteady and slipped from the surface of the stone. He screamed and fell on his back towards the sewage, trying to stabilize his body.

It's too late.

With a popping sound, Zhao Zheng fell into the water together with the torch in his hand. As soon as the torch met the water, it was immediately extinguished, a puff of black smoke floated up, and the surrounding area immediately fell into oppressive darkness. There was less than one hour of water here.

Rice can't drown anyone. Zhao Zheng splashed twice in the water and stood up quickly. He was like a drowned rat. He was soaked all over, and the cold water flowed along his hair and the corners of his clothes.

It flows down, and drops fall on the water.

"What a cheat!" Zhao Zheng looked around at the boundless darkness, feeling like he wanted to cry without tears. He was now in a dilemma. The water was too deep to go forward, and the distance to go back was not short, and the road

It was twists and turns and it was extremely difficult to move forward in the dark. After thinking about it, he was unwilling to retreat halfway, so he chose to bite the bullet and keep moving forward.

Without the torch and the light, he walked more carefully, groping in front of him with his hands as he walked. The coldness in the water was like maggots on the tarsal bones, cruelly spreading up his legs and reaching his whole body. Accompanying

What followed him forward was only the endless darkness and the weeping sound of the wind in the cave.;
