Chapter 223 Cang Ling Sword Discussion (Thirty-Eight)

()    When the new main task prompt sounded, Xiao Tan and Bei Ling, who were underground, were still walking through the cave, looking for a way out.

Although the stone said before ascending that it would definitely get out in a day and a night, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the guy's calculation method.

What it meant by a day and a night was probably 24 hours of sleepless and continuous progress.

Xiao Tan and Bei Ling naturally couldn't move forward like this. They were constrained by the consumption of physical energy and had to stop and rest from time to time. Both of them were level 17 at this time, and the full state was 1700 points of physical energy. Even if you are arrogant, you have to keep your physical energy at least one-quarter, otherwise if you encounter an emergency and your physical energy happens to be at the bottom, wouldn't you be in trouble?

Although the monsters and puzzles in this cave are not like the endless triggering method of stepping on landmines like Pokémon, there are enough FLAGs distributed on the map. Generally speaking, you can't bypass it if you want to move forward. From time to time, there will be a reward or something, just like a candy after a slap in the face... So the two of them basically entered a state of playing a traditional RPG game... exploring, triggering events, getting rewards, resting, continuing to explore... repeating over and over again. Unknowingly, the map they explored became larger and larger. Since they didn't know the exact location of the exit, they would explore as much as possible when they encountered a fork in the road.

In this way, when the two finally found the exit, it was already midnight on the second day. And it was about 35 hours since they first fell into the cave.

This kind of long-term script in Horror Park will produce a very strange feeling of fatigue in the later stage. The player's body is in a sleeping state in the game cabin, and the spiritual world seems to be active in a controllable dream.

If the dream lasts for a long time, more than one day, or even two days, the time of the player will be very long. This situation is not too strong in the script, and the real impact should be when the player leaves the game cabin. At that time, the player will have the illusion that they have not slept all night, but in fact their body is not tired, but they feel that they have not rested well mentally.

"It should be here, right?" Xiao Tan took off the miner's hat and put it away.

Bei Ling also turned off the flashlight, raised her head, and looked up along Xiao Tan's gaze, "It is estimated to be higher than the place where we fell."

At this moment, Bei Ling's flashlight has been replaced with batteries twice. She did not expect that the lighting equipment would be needed for a long time in this script, so she only brought four spare batteries, which are now all used up. In fact, after talking with the stone , Bei Ling realized that the flashlight battery might not last for a long time, and once the lighting was lost, her and Xiao Tan's actions would be several times more difficult and dangerous. So she quickly proposed that the two of them should not turn on the light source at the same time, and turn off the lighting equipment when resting, so as to save some electricity.

Fortunately, they finally found the exit before the power ran out.

This is a cave similar to the place where they fell. There is no roof and a passage above. The passage here is not the shape of an inverted funnel, but an ordinary cylinder. There is a pool of water in the middle of the cave, and the walls of the cave are covered with thick and tangled yellow vines. These vines are like natural ladders. , intricately and densely covered on the stone wall, extending all the way to the top (similar to the demon vine in Darksiders).

Looking up, you can see light coming in from the top of the cylindrical passage, which is covered with vegetation, like a ceiling covering the top of the passage.

Looking up from the bottom of this dark cave, the moonlight sprinkles through the gaps in the plants, hazy and dim. Although it cannot be said to be a gorgeous wonder, it is indeed a pretty good view.

"Well... then I'll go up first?" Xiao Tan asked: "Oh... by the way, should we get a rope to tie each other together, like the safety rope when climbing mountains and rock climbing."

"You occasionally come up with some good ideas." Bei Ling replied, which is also a rare compliment.

Xiao Tan just smiled and didn't answer anything. His character is considered an advantage. If Feng Bujue was praised, he would definitely be arrogant and brag about himself.

Bei Ling's bag was equipped with ropes, and they were the kind of mountaineering ropes with safety buckles. This item was a store product and was expensive, but it was undoubtedly practical and worth the money.

They tied the ropes to their shoulders and waists, leaving seven or eight meters of rope between the two people, so that they could move without affecting each other's climbing movements. If one person fell accidentally, the other person could withstand the impact of the step difference in time. Of course, this was just a safety measure, and it did not rule out the possibility that the other person would also be taken down by the force of the fall.

Before climbing, they rested for a while to let their physical energy reach a safe level as much as possible to avoid falling halfway through the climb. Then, Xiao Tan took the lead and started climbing.

Climbing a wall is a basic ability that an assassin must master, just like eating, sleeping, breathing, and blinking. An assassin can forget how to speak, but he will not forget how to climb a wall.

Of course, Xiaotan is not an assassin, he is just a player wearing the classic Assassin's Creed attire, with agility as his development tendency, and fighting and investigation as his main specialties. But facing the well-established climbing path in this game, it was relatively easy and comfortable for him to climb up. After all, the wall was full of footholds, and the vines were extremely strong and tough, making it impossible to miss anything.

Although Bei Ling is inferior in physical strength and agility, her weight is relatively light and it is not difficult to climb. Because there was a path up there and there was a rope on her body, she was relatively relaxed mentally. Following Xiaotan's rhythm, she quickly climbed halfway through the climb.

I lowered my head and looked down. It was pitch black under my feet. I could only vaguely hear the faint sound of water in the pool, but I couldn't see the bottom. Looking up, the moonlight penetrating through the vegetation becomes brighter.

The climb has lasted for nearly twenty minutes, and they are gradually approaching the exit at the top. The excitement and joy of finally escaping has diluted the physical and mental fatigue accumulated in these dozens of hours. The hardships and dangers along the way are vivid in my mind... It seems like an endless tunnel, monsters that don't know when they will appear, and mysteries blocking the road. Questions, sudden shocks... these are finally coming to an end.

My mood at this moment was as refreshing as taking a sip of ice-cold beef after taking a bath.

"Huh... finally out!" After the two returned to the ground, they both lay on their backs on the grass under the starry sky, breathing a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, they were in a mountain forest, and the bright moonlight illuminated the surroundings like daylight. The trees in this area are sparse and the terrain is slightly sloping. Anyway, I haven't seen any obvious dangers yet.

"I said...is it already the early morning of the third day?" Xiao Tan asked.

"Yes, the duel is tonight." Sadling continued, "There are still about ten hours."

"Uh... Judging from the main mission, Brother Jue and the others should still be in the place called Bell Middle Realm, right?" Xiaotan said again.

When Bei Ling heard this, he seemed to have thought of something: "Yes! How will the matter of helping Na Su Nu break through martial arts end?"

Xiao Tan showed a slightly worried look: "Well... Anyway, judging from the team column, Atobe is not dead yet..."
