It took more than two hours to finally clear away all the monsters around the resource point.
"Oh no, nothing exploded. The system is too messed up."
"It's not like we just found out today."
"It will definitely be a waste to farm monsters like this. Without resource points, it will be difficult to upgrade daily tasks. Canaan Company doesn't know what to think."
"The explosion rate of wild monsters is still acceptable."
“Aren’t we killing wild monsters now?”
"Maybe...maybe...how the hell would I know?"
The three teams were sitting outside the resource point to rest. The entrance to a dark mine was right behind them, surrounded by the bodies of kobolds.
The Black Pharaoh 'skinned and cramped' the corpse of a kobold, took out the still warm heart, wrapped it in leaves, and stacked it neatly together.
The captain came over and put all the skin, bones, and hearts into his backpack. He patted the Black Pharaoh on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job just now. Thank you for your hard work."
The Black Pharaoh raised his head and smiled with a mouth full of white teeth.
"Isn't this a totem pole like a pillar?"
"It should be."
"Totem...the god of the kobolds is called Maoqi?"
"right"
"If there is a totem pole, there should be high-level monsters such as kobold warriors, warriors and totem warriors. Why are they all kobold miners?"
"I don't know, maybe there is a surprise waiting for us in the cave?"
"Okay, get up and get ready to work."
The leader of the group clapped his hands and stood up. The team members who had not rested enough complained, but he ignored them. He walked to the totem pole alone and looked at it carefully.
"Captain, what do you see?"
"...This thing is a little different from the one in the dungeon."
"What's the difference?"
"I can't tell...forget it, I have enough experience, what about you?"
"It's almost time... Captain, what should I do if I have full experience, but I can't upgrade?"
"What should we do? Let's do it! What else can we do besides finding a job?"
"The task is too difficult. There are only three chances every day."
"Yeah, yeah, I guess I won't get the gold medal."
"Without a gold medal, there is no cape, no title!"
"No, I heard that only 500 combat power is enough, but the cloak requires merit exchange, 200!"
"There is no merit that comes from a gold medal?"
"On the battlefield, you can get silver medals, collect 500 combat power, and then go to the battlefield to earn meritorious deeds. Once you have enough, you will be extraordinary."
"real?"
"That's still false. There are detailed procedures on the forum. I heard that the battlefield is about to begin. We must hurry up and take office!"
"Easier to say, gold or silver?"
"Have you gone around and come back?"
"well……"
Today's players are generally troubled by this problem. The door frame for the gold medal is too high, and the silver medal is unwilling to accept it. As the game continues to advance, they have less and less time to hesitate.
When talking about this, everyone felt depressed. One Punch Man clapped his hands again and gathered the team, "That's why we have to make money, make money, make a lot of money. The more money, the more prepared we will be.
The more likely you are to win the gold medal, don’t you think this is true?”
"Yes, yes!"
"Damn it, I don't believe I can survive this with a magic resistance suit on."
"Earn money and get gold medals!"
"Get the gold medal!"
"Get the gold medal!"
Seeing that his morale had been boosted, One-Punch Man nodded with satisfaction. In a blink of an eye, he saw that the Black Pharaoh was still peeling the body and shouted: "Old Black, stop peeling, come and line up!"
Black Pharaoh giggled, Xuehuhu wiped his hands on his body, and came over obediently.
"Whether this guy is stupid or not, his operational awareness is really hard to say."
"Yes, maybe you have practiced it in real life?"
"Europeans and Americans have well-developed limbs and simple minds, so it is suitable to use it on him."
Now is the main meal. The three teams quickly gathered together, led by the Black Pharaoh, and lined up in front of the dark mine.
One Punch Man looked serious, waiting for everyone to be ready, "Old Hei, you go first, be careful!"
The Black Pharaoh nodded and took the lead into the mine ignorantly and fearlessly.
"Light the candles and protect the light source!"
"If you hold the red medicine in your hand, you will be smarter!"
"Retreat when the situation is bad, don't give up!"
"Just one chance..."
The wind seemed to be blowing from the thousand-year-old ice field, making people feel cold all over the body, and it was also mixed with an indescribable strange smell.
There is a saying that the so-called underground mineral veins are actually connected. In addition to the surface world, there is an equally vast world underground. That is why there is large-scale air flow underground, otherwise it cannot be explained.
In some mines, the wind is blazing, with a faint smell of sulfur, which may be blowing from hot underground volcanoes. In some mines, it is bone-chilling like this, which indicates that this mine may be connected to an underground ice field.
.
It’s not that no players have tried to go all the way down a mine, but the complexity of the mine is like a maze. These players either get hung up in the middle, or they crash around like headless flies and return without success.
In addition, the mines are also associated with various treasure legends. These rumors were originally only popular among the intelligent NPC group, but later spread to players, giving rise to many legends about hidden tasks.
But so far, I haven't seen that player succeed.
The Black Pharaoh was the first to step into the mine. He adapted to the suddenly changed environment. Seeing that he already had a negative state of -1 physical strength and agility, he moved his hands and feet extensively, waiting for his teammates to come in one after another.
At first glance, the mine inside the field is very cramped. The messy monster footprints extend into the dark depths. There are discarded scraps everywhere, such as rotten mining shovels, backpacks, burned candles, etc. It is very deep.
The wheel marks made players nervous because they were not found in other mines.
One-Punch Man squatted in front of the wheel mark and discussed quietly with the three captains for a while. He stood up and made a gesture, and the team cautiously walked deeper.
The Black Pharaoh was walking in the front, with a silly smile on his face, and he was mumbling something without knowing what he was talking about. When he passed a corner, a black shadow suddenly flew over and rushed towards the Black Pharaoh's face.
"Hey!"
The Black Pharaoh pinched the vampire bat the size of a house cat with lightning speed. The vampire bat struggled in his hand. He quickly dodged several bites from its sharp claws and screamed at him.
The whistling sound is extremely harsh, the frequency of the sound wave trembling is extremely high, and it feels extremely stuffy in the ears!
This was not fatal, but what was even more fatal was that more black shadows were flying from the darkness like raindrops, one after another like a fleet of aircraft flying from low altitude. The Black Pharaoh quickly threw away the LV vampire bat and turned around to take a look.
His teammates have disappeared.
Countless vampire bats surrounded him, and groups of them fell down to bite him. Black magic tried in vain to attack and drive him away, but he fell down in just a few seconds.
Two minutes later, all the vampire bats flew out of the mine. A cautious figure poked his head out from another fork in the road, looked left and right, and waved behind him.
One Punch Man and the others appeared from everywhere, with happy faces, and started blocking the entrance with waste ore that could be seen everywhere.
After everything was done, he breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his formation, and walked into the previous mine.
"Oh, this guy didn't die?"
The guy who thought he had returned to the city was lying on the ground with a mosaic of blood all over his body. The "Lengtou Lengnao" who was walking at the front squatted down and touched it, "The blood is still returning, so he is damn lucky."
"Isn't it?"
One Punch Man came over to check, and it was really...
"Old Hei, Old Hei!?"
"Y, Y0..."
"Yenima, what's going on?"
"Hey, hey, I took it, I took a mission."
"ah!?"
The teammates exclaimed, were stunned for a moment, and swarmed around him.
"What mission?"
"Say it quickly!"
"Hurry up and take a look!"
"Damn it, is it possible to say that resisting the attack of vampire bats is a condition for triggering the mission?"
The teammates were all talking, and their anxiety was palpable.
"I, I am seriously injured and cannot operate the panel."
"Give him the blood bottle!" One Punch Man gritted his teeth and said generously.
After drinking a bottle of red medicine, the Black Pharaoh's blood bar slowly increased, and the injuries on his body recovered visibly. He groaned and sat up.
[Inaugural mission of the Temple of Death——??(1)]
[Task triggering requirements: Character level 5, prerequisite tasks, Death belief reaching ‘Light Believer’ and above]
[Prerequisite: Devout Believer]
[Mission details: You discovered an abandoned mine, where the kobolds were trying to awaken the racial gods. You examined it carefully, found various clues, and reported it to the God of Death, successfully attracting her attention... You were on the verge of death.
Pray for the help of death, and death helps you. You have 3 chances to be immune to death, and the number of uses is 1/3]
[Task requirements: Clean up the kobolds in the mine, destroy their secret altar, find the holy symbol or statue of Moltke, and bring it back to the Temple of Death.]
[Task reward: Certificate of bravery, gold medal (1).]
Everyone was stunned and speechless for a long time.
A kobold warrior stepped out of the darkness, spotted them, and blew his whistle.
The sharp whistle alerted One Punch Man. He gave the Black Pharaoh a complicated look and said, "We'll talk about this later. Clear the monster first!"
Four or five kobolds and warriors rushed out of the darkness, shouting "candles, candles, Mao Qi Shen Da Da Da", and came in a swarm. They yelled "stupidly" like iron cans, and faced them angrily.
Envy, jealousy, anger... everyone vents on these blind monsters.
"hey-hey……"
The Black Pharaoh got up and giggled, then dwarfed and swam out like a fish.
"You don't have fucking eyes!?"
The Black Pharaoh raised his hands to make way for the attack.
"Gan, you idiot!"
The Black Pharaoh didn't care, and after a while he found an opening for the attack. He ducked in and killed a kobold miner with one blow.
"Damn, grab monsters, right?"
We are all in the same team, why are we robbing each other?
This time the Black Pharaoh frowned slightly, looking a little angry.
One Punch Man jumped out of the battle group and shouted: "Please be serious, fuck me, fuck me!"
The man was still unconvinced, turned around angrily, and took out a bottle of red medicine and a set of bandages from the monster's body.
After cleaning up these monsters, no one in the team spoke. One-Punch Man grabbed the Black Pharaoh's shoulders and took him aside.
"Old Hei, can tasks be shared?"
The Black Pharaoh shook his head.
"Fuck!", One Punch Man cursed fiercely to one side, and turned around with a smile on his face: "Can you tell me what your pre-mission is about, and how you came to be a shallow believer?
?”
The Black Pharaoh still shook his head.
"Brother, we are all friends, so we can't just hide them together, right? And you still need our help for this task, right? You can kill all the monsters by yourself? What kind of altar... can you do it by yourself?"
"I, I don't know how to say it..." Black Pharaoh scratched the back of his head with a silly smile, "I am not a shallow believer, but a true believer. From a shallow believer to a true believer, I need to complete a task."
"Is this the preliminary task?"
"yeah!"
"Go on, where did your true believer come from?"
"Pray!"
"pray?"
"Daily prayers and offerings, to the enemy of good, the hater of life, the bringer of darkness, the lord of gloom, the reaper of flesh, to Kelemvor, the supreme and holy one who holds the power of death from all eternity to this day.
Open your heart, talk to her every day, and listen to her teachings every day..."
As soon as he mentioned this, the Black Pharaoh became very happy and talked endlessly.
One Punch Man's face became increasingly weird. After hearing the last word, he patted his shoulder and forced out an ugly smile, "I understand, thank you!"
The Black Pharaoh was still unfinished and wanted to continue talking.
One Punch Man returned to his teammates, Didi cooed for a while, and called the Black Pharaoh to return to the team.
"We are all brothers!" One Punch Man said proudly in the team channel: "I don't care about you or me. Since Lao Hei can bypass the cheating copy and take up the job, we should help him, don't you think so!
"
"right!"
"brother!"
"Tired of logging!"
The Black Pharaoh was very moved, his eyes were red, "Three grams of oil, three grams of oil, brother, it's tiring to cut wood, yeah!"
"Besides, Lao Hei has taken office and won the gold medal. How can he forget about us? Don't you think so?"
One Punch Man looked at him with his eyes.
The Black Pharaoh nodded wildly.
One Punch Man was initially satisfied, but the monster appeared again.
"Go ahead and help Lao Hei get his job!"
This time, there was no nose or eyes, and although the atmosphere in the team was still a bit weird, the Black Pharaoh didn't notice it at all. With his trademark silly smile, the guy on his hands was not slow at all.
It took a whole day to clean up the forks one by one along the mine. Finally, deep in the mine, I found the same flags and totem poles as outside.
There are kobold warriors, kobold warriors, and an elite kobold totem warrior. It is extremely difficult to clear the team. It is inevitable that someone will die.
Fortunately, it took a lot of hard work to clear out this very empty cave. There are no roads left and right in front, but the altar is still missing.
"Old Hei, are there any reminders for the mission?"
One Punch Man came over and asked softly.
"yeah!"
The Black Pharaoh walked up to the totem pole and pressed lightly on a raised place. The ground shook, and a well-camouflaged floor retreated under the action of the mechanism, revealing a downward staircase.
