Half Immortal - Chapter 22

      The initial players will start from the first floor, and only when they reach the top can they survive and leave, and bring the abilities obtained in the building into reality. ]

    […]

    [All information of the player is stored in the black ring, and can be consulted at any time if necessary. ]

    [The number of layers of this copy: 7 layers. ]

    [Location of this copy: Ankang Ancient Town. ]

    [Current player data: body index 11, perception 33, layer 1, points 12. ]

    [Players have arrived, the instance is open. ]

    [In the instance, players cannot kill each other. ]

    […]

    The prompt sound is almost the same as the last time Yan Wei entered the dungeon. He already knows the other information. The only useful information is the location of the dungeon—Ankang Ancient Town.

    The surrounding darkness dissipated, but the light in front of me was not bright.

    The skylight stretched the figures of all players extremely long, and the shadows overlapped, but in this quiet mountain area, it seemed quite shady.

    The place where they are located is a temple next to a very high mountainside. The temple is a very classical glazed tile building, but it is not a common color. The bricks on the walls are black, and the tiles on the roof are dark red, which is particularly eerie on this peaceful mountainside.

    At the top of the temple building, stood a half-open umbrella carved from stone.

    —as suggested on the invitation, a half-open umbrella.

    In front of the temple, the players who entered the seventh-floor dungeon were standing.

      At the handle, Yan Mingguang firmly grasped it in his hand.

    This is what they tried before they came in.

    This braid is made of the bones and blood of the victims in the copy of the Promenade Hotel. In addition to the basic attack ability, it also has the ability to see through the mind – that is to say, holding the whip handle and winding People with whiptails can talk directly in their hearts.

    The requirement is to tie both hands, but the two of them tried it, and it is fine to tie one hand.

    It just looks so weird.

    At the moment when the players gathered, almost everyone’s eyes were on Yan Wei’s whip wrapped wrist.

    Yan Wei: “…”

    Yan Mingguang: “…”

    Lin Zhen was still dressed in dark clothes, as if he could melt into the darkness at any time. He was carrying a jet-black longbow, and his dark red eyes were like rubies in the warm yellow sunset light.

    He smiled meaningfully at Yan Mingguang, and then actually walked in front of Yan Wei, raising his hand to pick Yan Wei’s chin, “You really followed Yan in? He can now You can’t protect yourself, you might as well beg me, I might be able to protect you.”

    Yan Wei stepped back and avoided Lin Zhen’s hand.

    At the same time, Yan Mingguang’s other hand that was holding the pocket suddenly stretched out, holding the folded short blade in his hand and stabbing towards Lin Zhen.

    Lin Zhen didn’t blink, raised his hand and confronted Yan Mingguang a few times.

    There are other players around, both of them are obviously not serious, they stop after a few tastes.

    Yan Mingguang’s eyes were cold: “Take care of yourself.”

    The corner of Lin Zhen’s mouth twitched, speechless.

    Yan Wei also recognized Jiang Xiu at this moment – this man’s hostility to Yan Mingguang was too obvious. Jiang Xiu descended the building with a purpose.

    Seeing Lin Zhen walk away a few steps, Jiang Xiu sneered: “Why don’t you fight? I’m still waiting to see the play.”

    Lin Zhen raised his eyebrows lightly: “How about you try it with me?”

    Jiang Xiu choked.

    Now that I have just entered the dungeon, how could Jiang Xiu think of such a hard idea as Lin Zhen?

    He changed the subject, looked straight at Yan Mingguang, and said, “yan? What a coincidence, I entered a dungeon with you… You went to a dungeon of a gambling building, and my brother lost because of the gambling. I died in a difficult dungeon, I didn’t expect that we would meet this time… It’s a pleasure to work together.”

    Yan Wei lowered his head slightly, rolled his eyes at Jiang Xiu without hesitation, and said in his heart: [Is it still a happy cooperation? He is obviously a player on the tenth floor, so he deliberately came down to find us, shameless. Teacher Yan, ignore him! 】

    Yan Mingguang’s expression remained unchanged and he said nothing.

    Including the four of them, there are twelve people in this dungeon, all of them experienced players. Without the trouble of newcomers like Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang’s first dungeon, everyone looked around nervously.

    About the matter between Jiang Xiu and Yan, players with a little experience and connections are well aware of it, and no one has broken it. Everyone stepped forward and introduced themselves briefly.

    Just as the last person finished speaking his name, the sound of the building sounded again.

    [All players in the copy are ready, and the copy of Ankang Ancient Town triggers the balance mechanism. ]

    [It is detected that there are a large number of players who lift up and downstairs in the dungeon, and the difficulty of the dungeon increases. This dungeon has changed from the player survival mode to the completely cracked dungeon mode, and the “ladder” can only be found by completely cracking the plot of the dungeon. In order to promote the enthusiasm of the players, the dungeon will take the initiative to release the task, please follow the basic instructions, actively look for the ladder, and strive to survive. ]

    [The difficulty reaches the critical value, and the casino mechanism is activated. ]

    At the moment when the prompt sound fell, Yan Wei immediately turned on the right of privacy, but Yan Mingguang did not turn it off this time – he was already standing on the bright side, it is better to stand firm.

    At this time, the casino area.

    A few months ago, the members of Mang knew that Jiang Xiu had entered the dungeon at this time, and had been waiting here for a long time – this is a dungeon that will definitely open the casino.

    As a novice on the first floor, yan directly declared war on the tenth floor player Jiang Xiu. Jiang Xiu went downstairs to find Yan. This matter is not a secret among low-level players. There are also other players who do not know the specific time wandering in the casino area, waiting to watch the possible casino projections for the first time.

    The moment the projection appeared, the surrounding players immediately gathered, crowding the empty space under the projection.

     “Sure enough, the casino is open! This dungeon looks like a big map, and there are twelve players, which is a big book.”

    “The one with the silver hair is yan? How does he use a whip to hold a man… Well, I can’t see his face, but it’s definitely good-looking in terms of temperament. Is this yan brought in for recreation?”

    “That’s for sure, isn’t there a lot of players like this? If you can’t survive on your own, you can rely on powerful players to protect yourself, and take the initiative to join people as entertainment, if you die in the dungeon, that’s Bad luck, if you don’t die and are brought out by the boss, you will make money.”

    “Oh my God, this dungeon Yu Feizhou is also there? what!”

    “This time, except for the burden that yan brought in, all of them are not fuel-efficient lamps. No matter how difficult the dungeon is, you can pass the dungeon. This time there is absolutely no suspense in the casino-“

    The player’s words caught in his throat.

    After the opening of the gambling building, whether it is in front of the projection in the gambling building area or in the copy of the ancient town of Ankang, the reminder of the building sounded again!

    [It is detected that there are players who use the “Best Player” medal in the copy, and the number is greater than one, and the balance mechanism is upgraded. ]

    [Dungeon will trigger a 10% increase in difficulty and a 10% increase in the probability of props appearing. ]

    [Dungeon difficulty exceeds the threshold again! The casino mechanism has been upgraded. In addition to winning or losing the bet, players must participate in guessing and predicting who is the best player, and choose one of the twelve players to bet. If the bet player obtains the best player medal, the bet Win the bet. ]

    In the copy of Ankang Ancient Town.

    Yan Wei raised her eyebrows lightly, and did not hesitate to place a bet on the information panel, choosing the medal that she would survive to the end and win the best player’s medal.

    The rest of the players were also shocked, and their expressions were serious and their eyes were slightly lowered.

    Even Jiang Xiu’s face was not very good-looking.

    Dungeon directly raised the difficulty to **** mode from the very beginning, and there are so many seeds in the dungeon, this dungeon must not be easy.

    The sunset on the horizon has completely fallen. The entire mountain was covered with stars and moon, and fell into boundless darkness.

    The ancient town did not have any modern equipment, the temple was retro and primitive with candles, and suddenly there was an ethereal song, like a cappella by children.

    “The stars are up, the moon is up…”

    “This is a mountain and river bestowed by God, this is a fertile field, this is a blessing from heaven…”

    “It will rain, it will rain, the crops will grow…”

    “We’ve got our umbrella…”

    Behind them, a witch in national costumes and a scarf hat watched the children leave, then walked down the stairs slowly and walked in front of the players.

    “The traveler is here,” under the starry sky, in front of the brilliant lights of the temple, the goddess smiled at them, “I received the news that you are coming here for vacation very early, we have a small place here. , there is no hotel, and there is no electricity and network in the big place, only the mountain temple has the guest rooms that the townspeople used to live in when they offered incense and worship, so I can only feel wronged that you live in the mountain temple in the town.”

    The goddess led them up the steps of the mountain temple. Twelve players formed a group and silently followed behind the goddess.

    The interior of the mountain temple is very clean and tidy. It is a temple built against the mountain wall. The main hall is against the mountain wall, surrounded by brick walls on three sides, and the other side is the mountain wall.

    On the mountain wall, there is a stone that is very similar to a human shape, and it looks like a man holding an umbrella. But there are no traces of man-made carvings on the stone, and the edges and corners of the stone are very smooth, as if they were formed naturally over time.

    Incense and other objects in the hall are enshrined in front of this human-shaped stone.

    We built a mountain temple around the statue of the mountain god. We rely on the protection of the mountain **** for good weather and good harvest. When tourists visit and play, please do not disrespect the mountain god. Recently, the town will hold a 12-yearly mountain **** festival. Everyone can participate in the town, but there needs to be a sacrificial ceremony in the temple, so please don’t walk around in the temple.”

    Everyone responded.

    Yan looked around the hall without a trace, and said to Yan Mingguang: [Listening to the meaning of this goddess, Ankang Town should be an extremely backward and superstitious ancient town. Naturally corroded to the point where it looks like the stone statue of a man holding an umbrella, it was enshrined as a mountain god, and over time it has come to the present. There seems to be no problem with this hall, but I feel very uncomfortable when I see the statue of the mountain god, and the black bricks they use, there is always an ominous feeling. 】

    [The copy in the building,] Yan Mingguang is only concise, [unknown is normal. 】

    While they were talking, the goddess had already taken out five keys to distribute to the players.

    There are twelve players, and there are only five rooms in the temple.

    Fortunately, this dungeon did not require the same number of people in each room as last time, Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang took a key – Yan Mingguang said that when he lived with Yan Wei, other The eyes of several players kept moving on Yan Wei’s face and the whip on Yan Wei’s wrist. I don’t know what to think.

    As for the others, Jiang Xiu did not come in alone, there were two other members of Yuemang, and the three of them took a key.

    Lin Zhen, who looked very alone, actually took the initiative to join a player named Yu Feizhou. The remaining players were divided into a group of three and a group of two. The five keys were completely well allocated.

    The ancient town with no power grid is very boring at night, and it seems that she is used to resting early. After the goddess gave them the keys, she led them to the door of the guest room and let them blow out the candles to sleep and rest.

    “Excuse me, can I come out at night?” a player asked.

    “Don’t run around in the mountain temple and affect the sacrifice.”

    This answer is very broad and generally means yes.

    Although it is possible, this is only the first day, and as soon as you enter the dungeon, you are asked to go back to your room to rest, and there is no active information. Players will naturally not be stupid enough to wander around immediately.

    As soon as the goddess left, everyone returned to their rooms.

    Before Yan Wei followed Yan Mingguang into the room, Jiang Xiu turned his head to look at them, his face gloomy and his eyes cruel.

    The man raised his hand and wiped his neck at them before returning to the room.

    Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang ignored his move.

    Jiang Xiu had no way to go against Lou’s basic principles to kill them. Now that the difficulty of the dungeon is mentioned again and again, the difficulty has long reached the point where Jiang Xiu can’t handle it with ease. The higher the frequency of this person’s harsh words and appearances, the more confident he is.

    “Do you remember the song the kids sang just now?”

    After entering the room, Yan Mingguang closed the projection angle, and immediately withdrew the long whip that always evoked reverie, Yan Wei said directly: “I took it down. But in order to prevent this Whether the song will have any death trigger, I will not repeat it.”

    “Remember.”

    “That’s fine. Whether it’s the shape of an umbrella half-opened at the top of the invitation, the symbolic umbrella at the top of the temple, and the statue of the mountain deity holding the umbrella, it all means that this copy is related to the umbrella .But there’s something strange about it…”

    Yan Wei took out a series of cleaning tools from the storage grid of the information panel, and in such a treacherous copy, he started a simple secondary cleaning of the place where he wanted to rest and the mattress.

    While wiping, he said: “If it is a town that believes in mountain gods and longs for rain, and uses umbrellas as symbolic figures, then this town should be full of umbrellas or umbrellas everywhere. Patterns. But since we came in until now, except for the statue of the mountain temple…”

    No real umbrellas at all.

    Just as he was about to continue speaking, there was a sudden sound of staggering footsteps outside the door of the guest room—the footsteps of the goddess.

      the sound of. She seemed to have passed five guest rooms all the way and left something at the door of the guest room.

    The two were so quiet that their breathing slowed down, and they listened without moving, until the sound of the goddess’s footsteps gradually disappeared, and Yan Wei was relieved.

    What was the goddess doing just now?

    Yan Wei glanced at half of the undead skills on the information panel, the status of the skills stayed in the normal state, and the undead skills could not be activated until midnight.

    In this case, Yan Mingguang is more suitable to deal with such a situation, otherwise he will easily drag his feet if he rushes forward.

    He blinked, his light brown eyes were clear and well-behaved, as if dotted with gentle but bright stars.

    “Mr. Yan, I’m afraid of the darkness… why don’t you go take a look?”

    Yan Mingguang glanced at him: “No.”

    He lengthened his tone: “Mr. Yan—?”

    Yan Mingguang raised his foot, holding a long whip in his articulated hand, silently walked to the door and looked out through the cat’s eyes.

    Yan Mingguang frowned slightly, and his voice was cold: “An umbrella.”

    Yan Wei’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Umbrella?”

    “The open umbrella.”

    Yan Wei raised her eyes and asked solemnly, “What about the other rooms?”

    This is invisible to the cat’s eye.

    Yan Mingguang naturally knew what Yan Wei meant, his long whip was ready to go, his back was slightly tense, he opened the door vigilantly and looked out.

    In the deep, narrow and dark corridor, in front of the five doors with the same interval, there are five long-handled umbrellas standing on the ground neatly arranged.

    The umbrella is white, the handle and rib are slightly pale white, the canopy is smooth and bright white, and the white is slippery to reflect the moonlight.

    The night was dark and the moonlight was as pale as snow, which made this umbrella even paler.

    “It’s all umbrellas,” Yan Mingguang said word by word, “five white, open umbrellas.”
