Chapter 383 Preliminary Exploration of the Second Basement
The temporary addition of the Dream Seeker made the team's armaments a little fun... But Liu Yifei was obviously not the kind of guy who would change his principles of action because of the surprised looks of others. He was preparing various dangerous items such as kerosene and alchemy bombs.
After being firmly tied to the other party, and conveniently giving the "detonator" to the Dreamseeker to hide, the group of seven people finally headed towards the real destination——
After four consecutive days of high-intensity "battle royale", although it was impossible to clear out all the monsters on the first floor of the sewer, at least Liu Yifei had collected the terrain trends of the underground floor...
Should we say that the game company’s settings really make sense?
Anyway, in the past few days, every time Liu Yifei's team entered the plot, they always turned on panoramic cameras to track and record various terrain information. Although it greatly facilitated Liu Yifei's efficiency in obtaining necessary information, the cost of the additional services
It's really a bit much...
Well! Based on the collection of camera service fees alone, I think the game company’s financial report for this quarter shouldn’t be too ugly, right?
There is nothing to say, the stocks on hand are bound to rise sharply...
Thanks to the crazy rush these past few days, Liu Yifei and the others had already determined the entrances from the first floor to the second floor. Today's mission was clear, so they simply chose the road closest to the sewer entrance and went straight in~
Compared with the environment on the first floor of the sewer, the walls and floors paved with artificial masonry on the second floor appear much older and dilapidated. It may be hundreds of years old, causing damage and landslides in a small number of areas here.
Although the road is difficult to walk, the ubiquitous stench in the sewers on the upper floor has been greatly reduced. Except for a strange musty smell that lingers in the nose... at least there will be no such thing here on the second floor.
Let the whole team endure too much pain.
To be honest, in the "battle royale" session in the past few days, as everyone in the team gradually became familiar with their captain's strange requirements, the difficulty of the battle was actually within the acceptable range... but that one in the sewer
The bad smell is really giving people a headache!!
Especially as the physical exertion intensified, everyone involuntarily began to take deep breaths more and more frequently... The feeling was really scarier than soaking in the toilet to purify the air in real life, and even forced Jiang Ruoyi to cannot help it.
I want to learn some water or air magic tricks that have the effect of purifying smells. Help~
Jiang Ruoyi could still count on the effect of the spell to save her nose, but the rest of the gangsters, including Liu Yifei, resigned early and tried to use other methods to save their respiratory tract that was about to collapse - damn battle mode
!
Unexpectedly, even the degree of realism cannot be reduced. The horrible smell that is indescribable to everyone's imagination has almost reached the "killing effect" of biological and chemical weapons! Even Liu Yifei couldn't help cursing in his heart that he was crazy.
Will lead people to crawl into the sewer...
But fortunately, it’s a little better now~
Especially since everyone originally had no expectations for the second underground floor, the sudden improvement in air quality here really made everyone feel relieved...
The team stayed for a while at the entrance to the second floor. After getting acclimated to the environment here, they then entered into serious preparations at Liu Yifei's request - everyone had their swords unsheathed, arrows unstrung, and always on alert! Be sure to do so!
Make sure you won't be knocked over by a dagger suddenly handed out from a dark place!
This place is under the control of dozens of black forces of varying sizes. It can be said to be a real chaotic situation where the heroes are divided. Whether the team's exploration progress can continue to advance depends on whether everyone can withstand the attacks from all directions.
"Tested"...
After going down to the second floor, the surrounding area near the entrance to the second floor was as dark and lightless as the first floor of the sewer. However, as we continued to explore outwards, at a certain moment, a hazy orange color gradually appeared in everyone's eyes.
Light!
Although the radiating and pulsing warm light was not very stable, it really made the people who had been in the sewer for a few days feel a different kind of longing and throbbing...
But this is not good news!
When the distance got closer, and after the dream seekers who explored the road in front determined that it was a rosin torch inserted into the wall, everyone had already determined that their home should have entered an area with human dark forces, otherwise they would have been living underground all year round.
The wild monster would only stick a lighting torch on the wall after seeing a ghost~
Gathering the team together, Liu Yifei took out the "rough map" that he had compiled from the intelligence of several small nobles. After carefully comparing the areas where everyone might be currently, he determined that there should be a person entrenched in the area.
The forces on the second underground level - the underground branch of the "Brotherhood of Thieves" in Standwick City...
In fact, in the battle world of "Invincible Heroes: World of War", there are countless local forces of various sizes organized unofficially by NPCs, including the Adventurer's Guild and the Assassin's Union, which have a high appearance rate in various other magical online games.
Well, the Knights of the Silver Dawn have it all~
The reason why these "unofficial organizations" have rarely appeared in Liu Yifei's field of vision is because Liu Yifei has made up his mind early on to develop along the serious military route!
Holding the golden thigh of the kingdom, blending into the regular army before the collapse of Erathia, and using the army's resources to enrich oneself, it is definitely much safer than going out to fight, rob, or play an adventurer's wild dog style to develop~
After all, going out for adventure is, to put it bluntly, "gamble on life." If you are lucky, you can make a lot of money, but if you are unlucky, you will be exposed directly in the wilderness...
In that case, if there is no reliable person to rescue, I am afraid that the character will enjoy "social death", which means that a long period of battle experience will be wasted, just like many players are constantly struggling in the bottom quagmire.
Like that, why would Liu Yifei want to be like that?
It's just that although Liu Yifei looks down on low-level adventurers (whether players or NPCs) who beg for food in wild adventures, it doesn't mean that Liu Yifei will blindly look down on all NPC unofficial forces... especially those who can
It can be said that among the powerful forces that have taken root in the city, any one of them has the most powerful force!
In general, the strength of the "Brotherhood of Thieves" is that they have many eyes and ears and are well-informed!
The "headquarters" of Standwick's Brotherhood of Thieves is located in the outer city area above ground. Unfortunately, it is not in the subdivision where Liu Yifei is responsible for public security. Otherwise, many things would be much simpler to deal with~
Although the "headquarters" building is on the ground, it is just a liaison office on the surface.
The real wealth of the Brotherhood of Thieves is actually located in the old sewers on the second underground floor of Standwick...
"Brother, we are about to reach the territory of the Brotherhood of Thieves. This is our first stop, and the opponent must have sufficient detective manpower... The rhythm of the team's advance and retreat will be left to you.
You must use all your skills to keep the bottom of the box!"
Liu Yifei softly asked the dreamer to give his solemn thanks. This retired veteran who was nearly forty years old did not waste any words and nodded seriously. It seems that he also knew that it was time to show off his skills~
"Wuying, follow me. If you encounter a surprise attack from the other party... just remember to push back the enemy. Bring the Dream Seekers back, and don't risk your life with the other party."
"I know, Captain~"
"Cupid, during the subsequent actions, you will be in the center to provide support. Again, if you find someone besieging you, chase Wuying and the others in front, and decisively support them, but try not to kill anyone, just aim at the opponent's thigh and shoot. For battle, you
Follow Cupid to protect her..."
In a moment, the team of seven divided into three groups: front, middle and back, with a distance of twenty meters between each other. Then the dream seeker led a little by little forward...
The pace of the exploration process slowed down at this point, because before coming down, Liu Yifei made it clear that not only might he encounter large groups of organized enemies, but there might even be various traps arranged by local forces in the deep and complex underground sewers!
Even Liu Yifei looked cautious, and the rest of the team did not dare to take it lightly. In addition, the Dream Seeker was arranging in front, so the whole team began to slowly move along the dimly lit ancient corridor as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
Move forward slowly...
Don't mention it yet! Not even 200 meters out, the dream hunter in front made a signal and sent back the news: They actually found that there seemed to be a hidden stake in front of them!
[Can you really discover the hidden stakes laid by the enemy in the opponent's home environment? 】
Liu Yifei raised his eyebrows, but he was a little surprised at the reconnaissance ability of this "dream hunter"...
Although the reason why he went to Tang Zhenting to "borrow someone" was that he was sure that among the veterans the other party had on hand, there must be masters with relevant skills, but this was just the first time they cooperated. When he really saw
After seeing what the other party did, Liu Yifei was actually a little surprised~
But what should we do with the hidden stake of the Brotherhood of Thieves in front of us?
If we put it in the previous life, the player team would not only have "scouts", but also rogues, assassins and other anti-reconnaissance vanguards. When encountering the enemy's hidden stakes, it is not impossible to sneak up on them and kill them...
But now, Liu Yifei's current small team is really poor. Even the first serious scout was borrowed from outsiders. Don't expect other types of special professions...
"Are you sure there is someone around? Where can I find it?" Liu Yifei had no choice but to touch it and discuss it in a low voice with the dreamer.
The dream seeker did not reply after hearing this, and continued to sit in the corner. He carefully stretched out his hand and pointed towards a dark place that was almost invisible in front of him...
Damn it!
Under the guidance of the dream seeker, Liu Yifei has opened his eyes to the limit!
But except for the vague possibility that he could see a corner or a collapsed rock wall in front of him... Anyway, except for an obstacle, he couldn't even see a ghost~
[Damn it, do the eyes of the reconnaissance veteran have built-in infrared scanning? This person can actually see people in the dark?!]
"Are you sure there is someone? How sure are you?"
The dream seeker thought for a while, then put his hand in front of Liu Yifei's eyes and made a "seven" gesture, and then added like a mosquito: "I haven't practiced for a long time, I'm a little rusty..."
[Fuck! Is this still a raw level? You can do it... Those who can become scouts in the real army are not ordinary people...]
Liu Yifei thought about it in his mind and suddenly walked out from where the dream seeker was hiding. He lowered his voice and called out from the darkness in front: "Hey~ Is there a 'long-short-handed' 'shabby cloak' in front of you? I'm looking for you to cover your face."
'Come out, I want to buy good fabrics!"
…
…
There was silence in the darkness. Although Liu Yifei carefully controlled his volume, the corridor was still quiet. His voice still produced waves of echoes after it spread, making the surrounding environment even more cold and terrifying...
However, Dream Seeker and other members who were cat-catting not far behind him were all dumbfounded~
Captain...what are you doing? Why did you suddenly start talking nonsense?
In fact, Liu Yifei was just telling the Brotherhood of Thieves a "code word"~
After ten years of ups and downs, what Liu Yifei learned in the game in his previous life was more than just sword-wielding?
Such as forging, such as refining medicine... Even if the level compared to ten years later is just superficial, but now, it is an amazing "achievement"!
And Dasji even saw his boss speaking "Goblin language"!!
What a pity~
In Dasji's worldview, he wasn't even sure whether goblins, creatures that could only purr and purr, could speak...
Similarly, as a local bug in Erathia, it is completely normal for Liu Yifei to know a few "slang words" of the Brotherhood of Thieves in the human camp~
What he just asked was, "Are you a friend of the Brotherhood of Thieves across from you? If it's convenient, let your boss come out. I have a business to do with you."
It's just that the so-called hidden pile in the dream-seeker's mouth didn't know whether he was dead or asleep, but he didn't even fart! It made Liu Yifei look like he was performing a funny show in front of him in the dark, which made people feel uncomfortable.
It's a bit embarrassing...
"Are you sure there is really someone there?"
Feeling uneasy, Liu Yifei even went back and asked again.
It’s just that I don’t know what flaw the other person showed. This time, the dream seeker was more confident and said, “There must be one!”
In this case, Liu Yifei was too lazy to test it, and simply picked up a pebble at his feet and threw it in the direction pointed by the dream seeker.
With little strength, the pebbles bounced in the darkness, making crisp sounds. At the same time, Liu Yifei spoke again: "Really, we are just here to buy some news, real money, cash transactions, we all see you."
Now, stop hiding it..."
After Liu Yifei finished speaking, there was still silence on the other side... After about half a minute of silence, some small commotion finally came from the other end.
The next moment, when a figure really walked out of the darkness, even Liu Yifei was stunned involuntarily, and his eyes narrowed dangerously...
