'All members of the direct team will gather at the north gate immediately.'
Lin Ze suddenly felt the nameplate in his pocket vibrate. He picked it up and saw this message.
He pondered for a moment, then remembered that today was the 31st day of entering the assessment dungeon, which happened to be the core area exploration day once a month.
"I didn't expect that 30 days would pass like this." Lin Ze shook his head with emotion.
In the past 30 days, he has been earning meritorious service to advance to the rank. Unfortunately, he has only been promoted to rank 4 as deputy team assistant so far. This kind of promotion speed is like a rocket for the natives of the dungeon, but as far as he is concerned,
For me, I still feel it's not enough.
After all, he has never even seen the most critical entity in the dungeon, the Disaster Beast, let alone come into contact with it.
Fortunately, today I can finally see it with my own eyes.
Putting away the nameplate, Lin Ze left the room resolutely and rushed towards the north door.
After being promoted to deputy team assistant, his clothes have been changed into high-level exclusive high-level uniforms. The guardians he met along the way stopped, greeted him respectfully, and cast their eyes on this new star who has recently become famous throughout the White Palace.
Curious eyes.
Because he was in a hurry, Lin Ze couldn't respond one by one. He only nodded lightly. In the end, he simply accelerated his speed and jumped forward like lightning. People along the way only felt a flash in front of their eyes, and an afterimage passed by them.
Can't see clearly who it is.
In less than two minutes, Lin Ze passed through the north gate.
As always, Luo was already waiting outside the north gate, turning his back to him and quietly looking at the black and white satellite city in the distance.
Lin Ze looked around and found that there was no one else present except himself and Luo. He was still the second one to arrive.
"team leader."
Luo turned around, nodded and said calmly: "You are here."
Lin Ze shrugged and asked, "Are we going to carry out a mission to explore the core area today?"
"That's right." Luo nodded lightly, "Go to Satellite City No. 3."
After a pause, she added, "This is your first time entering the core area. Remember not to be surprised by anything you see inside, and at the same time, you must not be more than a hundred meters away from your companions."
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask why they couldn't be separated by more than a hundred meters, but he heard the sound of breaking through the air one after another behind him. When he turned around, he saw that Yao Guang and others had already arrived, and they rushed in front of him in an instant.
"Lin Ze got the better of me again. Forget it, captain, why are you the second to arrive every time? I obviously left immediately when I received the notice." When one of the team members saw Lin Ze, he scratched his head and said.
Yaoguang laughed and said, "That's because Lin Ze is stronger than you."
Many team members smiled knowingly after hearing this.
In the past month, Lin Ze's strength has won their recognition and respect. Although he is still the assistant of the deputy team, everyone has vaguely regarded him as the second person below the captain.
"Everyone is here, let's set off." Luo interrupted everyone's chatter and said, "Destination Satellite City No. 3."
Everyone suddenly looked solemn, nodded in agreement, and followed Luo quickly towards Satellite City No. 3.
During this period, Lin Ze often followed his direct team to perform tasks in Satellite City No. 3. He was already familiar with the place. After arriving at the destination, he consciously came to the front of the team and fell slightly behind.
When Luo used the giant sword barrier to protect the team through the outer ring area and arrived at the inner ring, he rushed out of the barrier and went straight to kill the high-level dark descendants blocking the way ahead.
About twenty minutes later, everyone was standing in front of the junction. More than ten meters away in front of them was the core area, a darkness so deep that it seemed to swallow up all the surrounding light.
"Be prepared and remember not to fall behind."
Luo's eyes swept across everyone, focused on Lin Ze, paused for a moment, and ordered in a solemn tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to step towards the darkness, and his petite figure disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
And the others followed suit.
The moment he passed through the junction, Lin Ze felt his eyes go dark, as if he had passed through a layer of foam. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was in a strange space.
All you can see is boundless darkness, without any light, as if the whole world has been swallowed by darkness.
However, what surprised Lin Ze was that even though there was no light at all, he could clearly see the figures of everyone in the team. This contradictory visual experience made him feel awkward.
"It's very strange."
Yaoguang walked to Lin Ze and said in a solemn voice, "The light reflection here is very special. Within a hundred meters, except for the dark environment, we and any attacks we send can be clearly seen, but
Once the distance exceeds 100 meters, you can't see anything."
"So remember to follow the captain closely. Only the captain controls the way in and out of the core area. Once you are too far away from the captain and cannot be found, you will be trapped here forever!"
Lin Ze nodded, secretly amazed in his heart. He didn't expect that the core area was so special.
Only then did he suddenly understand why Luo Hui had told him not to be more than a hundred meters away from his companions. Once this distance was exceeded, his companions would be lost. In this kind of environment where he couldn't even distinguish up, down, left and right, and all he could see was darkness.
, it is almost impossible to find your companions again.
"Let's go."
Luo's calm voice came from the front, with a strange and peaceful meaning. Everyone in the team quickly calmed down and followed Luo forward.
Lin Ze looked around, pondered for a moment, and asked Yaoguang in a low voice: "What are we going to do next?"
"Looking for the disaster beast."
Lin Ze was startled for a moment, then reacted immediately.
You can't even see the beast of love if it's more than 100 meters away.
So isn't the so-called search similar to luck? Can we really find the disaster beast by this method?
As if aware of Lin Ze's thoughts, Yaoguang explained softly: "The core area is the territory of the disaster beast. All outsiders who enter here will unknowingly move closer to its location. This is a rather special rule here.
.”
Lin Ze suddenly realized.
Yaoguang continued: "The disaster beast usually wakes up every other month, and our task is to go deep into the core area, find the disaster beast and have a fight with it to let it vent its excess energy, otherwise this guy will
They can't help but run out of the core area, return to the inner and outer rings to stir up trouble, and maybe a large number of dark descendants will gather to attack the White Palace."
"Has something similar happened before?" Lin Ze asked.
"More than once." Yaoguang shook his head, "It was only later that we gradually figured out the rules."
Lin Ze nodded solemnly. This simple sentence contained so much blood and lives of the guardians.
At this time, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up as if feeling something. He saw an unknown blue-gray arm in the darkness about a hundred meters ahead.
The arm is about three meters long, including the palm and part of the elbow. The skin is rough and dry, and it is abnormally fat, giving people a fat feeling.
At the front of the team, Luo paused slightly, raised his hand and made a gesture to signal everyone to get ready for battle, and then cautiously stepped forward again.
Lin Ze and others also walked lightly and cautiously approached the arm.
As the distance got closer, it was as if there was an invisible paintbrush painting in the darkness, gradually revealing the part behind the arm, first the arms, shoulders, then the feet, the torso, and finally the other arm and head also appeared.
came out.
After a while, a huge monster that was twenty meters tall, round and gray, and looked like a giant potato with a head and limbs jumped into view.
Lin Ze stared intently at the monster in front of him, his breathing stagnating slightly.
The appearance of this meat ball monster looked funny, but he didn't feel this way at all in his heart. When his eyes fell on the opponent, he felt a primitive ferocity and cruelty rushing towards him, and a chill suddenly shot up his spine.
He almost lost control and transformed into a rising sun flame dragon.
Fortunately, Lin Ze was not a rookie who had just experienced a battle. He immediately suppressed the throbbing in his heart, took a deep breath, and quickly regained his composure.
Several team members nearby had been paying attention to his performance, and couldn't help but secretly marvel when they saw it.
Yaoguang patted Lin Ze's shoulder, lowered his voice and exclaimed: "Your character and perseverance are really amazing. When I first saw the disaster beast, I was so frightened that I attacked with all my strength. If the captain hadn't killed me
If you stop it, I'm afraid I will go straight to kill the disaster beast."
After hearing this, the rest of the team members had frightened expressions on their faces, obviously they had had the same experience.
When Lin Ze heard this, he glanced at Luo, and happened to see her facing him. He stepped back slightly, and he suddenly understood.
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask: "In that case, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"It's useless to talk about this kind of thing in advance. You can only understand it by experiencing it yourself. Moreover, only by doing this can you test your character to the greatest extent and decide how to arrange your position in the next battle." Yaoguang.
He spread his hands and said.
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows. Listening to what Yao Guang said, it seems that he will encounter a similar situation in the battle with the disaster beast?
However, there was no time for detailed questioning at this time. As the direct team approached within thirty meters, the hill-like meat ball monster seemed to finally notice their arrival and slowly turned around.
The eyes and nose on the face of this disaster beast were so squeezed by the fat that they were almost invisible. Only a big mouth full of fangs was particularly eye-catching, occupying almost one-third of the face.
The eyes fell on the people in the direct team. The disaster beast paused for a moment, then suddenly opened its huge mouth and let out an ear-splitting roar. It moved its body with difficulty, and with heavy and booming footsteps, it rushed towards them like a chariot charging.
Come.
"Prepare to fight and keep your distance between you!"
Luo's calm and powerful voice came to his ears. Lin Ze looked up and saw a huge translucent long sword condensed at some point four or five meters above the girl's head. As she waved her palm forward,
, the giant sword roared out, and the harsh sound of breaking through the air tore through the silence around it, and it stabbed at the disaster beast along with the air waves.
Judging from the disaster beast's bloated body and slow movements, it can be seen that its agility is extremely low, and it cannot dodge Cairo's attacks at all.
In fact, the disaster beast had no intention of evading, and rushed forward directly facing the giant sword, allowing the giant sword to hit its chest like a cannonball, exploding countless green-gray flesh and blood, causing blood to splash.
In an instant, there was a huge bloody gap in its chest.
Then the blood at the wound stopped flowing out in the next second, and the blue-gray flesh squirmed violently, rapidly growing and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, the wound on the beast's chest was repaired and restored to its original state.
Lin Ze couldn't help but take a breath. This recovery ability was too abnormal.
Yaoguang and others had become accustomed to it, and they all launched attacks without changing their expressions.
Suddenly, the dark space lit up with colorful lights, and countless energy attacks attacked the disaster beast overwhelmingly, almost drowning it.
Since it was not a life and death battle, Lin Ze did not intend to use the Rising Sun Flame Dragon, so he only condensed the red lotus armor and golden blade, and jumped forward.
The blazing blade condensed from the fire of the red lotus struck the calamity beast's little foot, leaving only a charred black wound that was an inch deep. The blood inside was evaporated in an instant, but within a few seconds, new blood appeared
The charred waste flesh was squeezed out of the wound and fell to the ground, while new flesh and blood quickly filled the wound, and the injury on the little foot healed in an instant.
This scene made Lin Ze secretly amazed.
On the other side, other people are also facing the same situation. No matter how serious the injuries they inflict on the disaster beast, they will heal as before in the blink of an eye.
Even though Luo's injury still had some effect, the wounds she caused were deeper and more severe, and her recovery was naturally slower.
It is precisely because of this that among the people, the Disaster Beast especially hated Luo, leaving the others alone and only chasing her to attack.
Unfortunately, the disaster beast's movements were too slow and it couldn't catch up with Luo's movements, so it could only roar in vain.
On the contrary, everyone was helpless against the disaster beast.
More than ten minutes later, seeing fatigue on the faces of several members of the team, Luo then said in a solemn voice: "Okay, that's it, we are ready to retreat."
Everyone responded with a roar and stepped back one after another, no longer entangled with the disaster beast.
Seeing the enemy retreating, the disaster beast relentlessly pursued it, but because it was not as fast as the members of the team directly under it, it was quickly thrown away for a hundred meters. The huge figure was quickly swallowed up by the darkness, and even the roar was extinguished in an instant.
After running for a while, everyone stopped and turned their attention to Luo.
Luo stood motionless, seeming to be concentrating on feeling something.
After a moment, her body suddenly trembled slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in her usually calm voice.
"The exit cannot be opened!"
Yaoguang and others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and when they came back to their senses, they all looked confused and panicked.
"Why can't it be opened?"
"What happened?"
"Captain, try again!"
This was the first time they had encountered the problem of not being able to open the exit, so they couldn't help but panic.
At this time, Lin Ze's expression suddenly changed and he suddenly turned his head to look behind him.
A hundred meters away in the darkness, a blue-grey arm reappeared.
