Chapter 995 Fierce battle with Zi Yan (twenty-nine)
No matter what Hal, the leopard man boy, said, "This game has a glitch" or "You can't die, because death will affect our bodies in reality," Husky didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.
After all, this is just a virtual game. Will failure in the game affect reality? It's ridiculous.
Therefore, although he said that he would act carefully and try to avoid direct conflicts with the enemy, the dog-man boy was still planning to hunt down the big boss. If he was allowed to meet the big boss in the castle, he would definitely not do it.
Give up and rush forward to fight the big boss.
Husky raised his sword and smashed the ice blocking the entrance of the cave, and the three of them walked out of the cave together. The third underground floor seemed to have been swept away, and there were no more Zhang guards. It was still safe to walk here for the time being.
Huski spread out the map of the castle before walking a few steps, trying to find a safe way out of the castle.
"Very good, go forward two intersections from here and turn left. There will be a vent next to the stairs leading to the upper floor." Husky said as he led the way.
Calvin also came over to take a look: "There is indeed a vent system that can be used, but the vents are not marked in detail."
"It doesn't matter," Husky said confidently, "the underground levels of this castle are all below sea level. They must be pumping air down from the upper levels to ventilate the old city. So, we just have to climb up, as long as
If the direction is roughly right, you will definitely be able to go out."
"Is it really that simple, meow?" Hal, the leopard man boy, looked at Husky, the dog man boy, suspiciously: "Besides, Hal has a bad feeling, meow."
"This is the only way to get out. Even if you say no, you have to bite the bullet and fight." Husky frowned and replied, "Hal, this is just a game. What happened last time at Uncle Arthur's house
This thing can't happen in the game world. Don't worry."
"Okay... okay, meow." The leopard man boy couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the last incident. It seems that it's still too early for him to really feel relieved. There is some unforeseen danger factor lurking in Husky's body.
, Hal couldn't really relax for a day when that thing was around.
"In short------" the dog man boy walked to the vent next to the stairs, broke it hard, and took down the guardrail of the vent: "Let's go. We'll adapt to the situation when something happens."
"
He was the first to crawl into the vent. The fishman prince also smiled easily and happily, following closely behind the dogman boy------his eyes never left Husky's tail.
Hal looked at the deep and dark vent and hesitated for a moment, and finally got in helplessly.
Climbing into the ventilation duct, after his eyes got used to the darkness, Hal felt that this place was not as scary as he imagined. After Husky, who took the lead, lit the torch, the full view of the ventilation duct was revealed to everyone.
This winding ventilation duct, with sections roughly every five yards and made of a large number of stone bricks, seems to have a long history.
Due to the need to pump fresh air from the sea level to the third floor underground, the ventilation ducts were built quite wide. Not to mention the petite teenagers like Hal, even the strong Zhang Ren
Guards can also crawl in this kind of ventilation duct.
As for Hal and the others, adults had to crawl through ventilation ducts. They only had to walk half-crouched, just enough to avoid hitting their heads on the ceiling. In short, they were quite comfortable walking in such ventilation ducts.
relaxing.
"Uh------" It was easy to relax, but the pipe was very dirty. Hal walked with one hand holding the inner wall of the pipe, and found that his palms were soon covered with some kind of black and greasy substance. It was probably
The lack of cleaning all year round, combined with the darkness and humidity, has caused a lot of mold to breed here.
"Don't worry about this little thing." Husky, who was walking in front, advised: "This is just a game. In reality, we don't really get our hands dirty."
"Hmm..." Hal snorted in agreement. Despite this, this unpleasant feeling was still very real. They seemed to be walking in a dark and dirty sewer, and as if they had entered the belly of some huge creature.
Being constantly tested, touched, and licked by something dark and evil. This feeling really made Hal feel extremely uncomfortable.
"By the way, will our character in this game get sick?" The leopard man boy tried to talk to his friends to distract himself from the nauseating feeling.
"There doesn't seem to be such a setting." Calvin, who had read the guide, thought for a moment: "Hmm... no. The characters in this game are probably super healthy normal people. No matter how bad the environment is, they will not be infected by germs.
Being sick due to infection------is different from some frail people in reality, haha."
"Uh---" This sentence stung the Leopard Man boy. Without the assistance of a wheelchair and crutches, Hal couldn't even walk independently in reality.
"Can you find less trouble?" Husky snorted dissatisfiedly: "We are going to climb up, please pay attention."
"Wait. Go up----?" The Leopard Man boy couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the almost straight upward shape of the ventilation duct.
Under the light of the torch, their location was about thirty yards from the upper end of the pipe. Whether they would reach the top after climbing the mountain was still unknown.
There is a lot of mold growing and the ventilation ducts are very dirty. Although there are many stone crevices that can be used as footholds for climbing, the height is still scary. In addition, the mold is wet and slippery, and if you are not careful, you may fall from the pipes.
slide.
And if he fell from a height of thirty yards, he would probably be killed or injured.
In short, it is almost impossible to safely climb such slippery pipes.
"Hmm---are you encountering a problem right away?" Husky held his chin, seeming to be thinking about the same problem.
"If we had known this, we would have brought climbing tools with us before we came out." Hal not only complained. Before they set out to deal with Zhang Ren yesterday (during game time), they could obviously supply various wild supplies in the store of the Eternal Altar.
It was a device for adventure, but Husky rejected it on the grounds that it was "too expensive."
A mountain climbing tool costs one hundred gold coins, which is indeed quite expensive. But they can bring a lot of convenience to adventurers at critical moments. Why were you stingy with these three hundred gold coins in the first place? -----
-Hal finally learned this lesson.
"Well, what will this prince do?" Calvin stepped forward, raised his staff and prepared to cast a spell.
"No, God knows if we will have to fight against Wang in the future? Save your magic for Wang." Husky strongly objected: "Let's do this. Husky will climb up first, and then use the ropes prepared to lift you all."
Pull them up one by one. Wang Husky climbed the snow-capped mountains with his dad when he was a child. He should-----"
"If it's mountain climbing, Hal is better at meow than you." The Leopard Man boy couldn't wait to interrupt his friend and pulled out two daggers: "Hal grew up in the Turkic Swamp. Have you forgotten meow? Where?
Hal has climbed over most of the giant trees with his bare hands."
Calvin rolled his eyes at the leopard boy: "...are you sure you can climb up?"
Hal nodded confidently: "Compared to the giant tree in the swamp that is covered with moss and is slippery and difficult to climb, this ventilation duct with just a little mold is a paradise. With these two daggers, Hal can climb up.
Meow."
"Okay, well, since you are so insistent." Husky frowned: "Don't worry, even if it slips, we will catch you below."
The leopard boy nodded and walked to the ascending section of the vent.
The stupid and clumsy boy Leopard Man has never successfully climbed a giant tree in the swamp. Every challenge ended in failure, and he repeatedly asked his brothers to rescue him. He would brag, but he just didn't want his friends to take risks.
If Hal's character dies, the worst possible outcome is to be downgraded one level and resurrected in the Altar of Eternity. But Husky is different - he is possessed by the black spider, and if he dies in the game, he will immediately enter
In a comatose state, he was attacked by the Black Reaper in his nightmare.
This is something Hal wants to avoid happening at all costs.
Hal looked up. The road ahead was so high and dark. Unknown terrors and dangers were waiting for him. But he could no longer turn back. The leopard man boy took a deep breath, raised the dagger in his right hand, and dug it deeply.
The ground penetrated into the gap in the stone wall of the ventilation duct.
Well, it feels good in the hand, and there is no sign of the dagger becoming loose. If you use this to borrow strength, you won't be afraid of the slippery mold on the stone wall.
It should be successful, right?
No, he had to succeed for the sake of his little friends.
The young leopard man raised his left hand, borrowed strength from the dagger in his right hand, and pierced the dagger in his left hand deeply into the crevice of the stone higher up.
But he was a little negligent. He now has a human body, and there are no sharp cat claws on his feet. He is not as good at climbing as he is in reality. His feet tried to find a support point on the wall, but all of a sudden
I stepped on the slippery mold and slipped.
Bang! He slid down and hit his head on the wall. He fell very ugly.
"Hal? Are you okay?"
"Ouch---" the leopard man boy rubbed his forehead. Fortunately, the game blocked their pain, otherwise this bump must be very painful, right? Although it didn't hurt, he still felt dizzy after drinking. His character probably
The injury was serious.
"Well... I miscalculated, human feet are completely different from orcs, meow." He tried his best to defend his failure.
"If you can't do it, forget it." Calvin took the opportunity to ridicule: "This kind of small slope should be solved by this prince. Obviously it only needs to cast a spell and it will be over--"
"No, let Hal try again, Meow." The leopard man boy seemed a little unreasonably stubborn. He thought about it again and found a compromise.
