Chapter 38 Special Incident of the Statue
After clearing the low-level gray area on Huotan Road, Chu Wei quickly asked the driver to take them to another gray area location.
This is an ordinary village outside Dongjiang City. One day ago, a gray field fell in a small forest on the edge of the village. Since the place where it fell was uninhabited, the gray field dragged for a whole day. The genius was discovered and reported by the village chief. By this time, it was almost solidified. Therefore, the cleanup task of Wang Zhifan and others must be completed as soon as possible, otherwise this gray area is likely to solidify in the real world.
"Brother Fan, A Liao, inside this gray area is a winding dark cave with a total length of nearly one kilometer. There are many low-level lizard and bat monsters inside. We'd better kill them within half an hour. "Destroy them all."
Before entering the dense gray forest in front of her, Chu Wei, who used her summons to complete the investigation of the entrance situation, introduced the basic situation to Wang Zhifan and the others not long ago. Compared to the Gray Domain mission, their time was even more pressing this time.
"Well, I'll go ahead and clear the way."
After hearing this, Wang Zhifan quickly stepped into the gray area in front of him.
In a blink of an eye, the originally dark and blurry forest scene in front of him transformed directly into the rock wall and the dark passages to the left and right illuminated by the beam of light above him. The beam of light came from the miner's hat with a light on his head. Chu Wei had specially found this thing from the trunk of the Administration's car just now, and each of them put one on.
Without waiting to see clearly what was happening in the passages on the left and right, Wang Zhifan suddenly slashed the Wolf Slayer Blade in his hand to the upper right side of him, and then there was a sharp scream and some kind of small object. The sound of landing.
“You little thing, how dare you sneak up on me, don’t think I can’t find you if you hide in the dark.”
As Wang Zhifan turned his head and looked down at the ground, he discovered in the light that the person he had suddenly slashed to death was a small monster that looked like a bat. The monster had now fallen to the ground and turned into two equal parts. corpse.
As for why Wang Zhifan was able to spot it in the dark and hit it directly with a knife, it was actually due to his high perception brought about by his spiritual attributes that are higher than ordinary people.
Wang Zhifan's current mental attribute value is 16, which is more than half higher than the average value of a normal young adult male. This high mental attribute is not particularly useful for a melee profession like him, because his All sensory abilities are normal, there is no need to rely on perception to judge What to guess, but the situation is different in the dark. In the dark, the vision he usually relies on is useless, so the advantage of high perception will be highlighted. Anything that is not very good at concealment wants to approach quietly. He will be noticed immediately and the specific location can be determined.
"Wow! It's so dark here! It must be exciting to fight monsters in there!"
The second person following Wang Zhifan to enter the Gray Domain Cave was the young gunman A Liao. The guy actually expressed praise for this place where his vision is relatively limited.
"Brother Fan, you are responsible for defending the back of the team, and A Liao and I are responsible for cleaning up the front."
After the third one came in, Chu Wei first took a look at the environment of the cave passage, and then quickly made a plan Cleanup strategy.
"Well, let's get started."
Wang Zhifan has no objection to the strategy formulated by Chu Wei. He joined this team as a temporary worker just to be a bodyguard. He doesn't have to worry too much about cleaning up the monsters. suspicious.
Immediately, Chu Wei released her female ghost summon, and performed some ability to explore the path through the wall in this cave environment. Her female ghost summon was responsible for exploring the route and cleaning up along the way. For some of the difficult monsters, Aliao was responsible for shooting at all the enemies in front of him. Anyway, Chu Wei's summons were physically immune, so he didn't have to worry about accidental injuries.
As for Wang Zhifan, he was responsible for the defense work at the rear of the team. He originally thought that this task would not be too troublesome, but he did not expect that a steady stream of monsters would soon attack him from the back of the team, making him almost all the way. The workload of wielding a knife to kill monsters is not much less than the previous two people.
This situation should be caused by the light they brought in this dark environment attracting the monsters on both sides. Fortunately, this relatively narrow passage environment is very suitable for Wang Zhifan's performance. He only All you need to do is keep swinging the knife in front of yourself, and sometimes you can even kill several charging bats or lizard monsters with one knife. After fighting continuously for about twenty minutes, the three people who kept walking all the way came to the end of one end of the cave passage. That is, they had cleared one direction and reached the end, and they had to turn around and go back.
"Everyone, please rest here for a minute. There are more monsters in this gray realm passage than expected. You must be tired all the way here."
At this time, Chu Wei was probably a little tired from the continuous fighting, so she announced that the team would rest for a while.
"I'm a little tired, but looking back, there shouldn't be so many monsters to clean up."
Wang Zhifan also squatted down and sat on the rock wall on one side.
He was really a little tired. The monsters he killed at the back of the team along the way were not much less than those at the front. For a melee profession like his that requires constant swinging of swords, continuous combat consumes even more physical energy. It was more intense than Chu Wei and the others.
Aliao, who always talked the most among the three, rarely held his rifle and closed his eyes, leaning against the rock wall to rest. It can be seen that clearing two gray areas in one day has taken a toll on this young man. Mental challenges.
But just when the three of them were about to take a rest at the end of the gray cave passage, Chu Wei, who was closing her eyes to rest, suddenly let out a soft cry, which attracted the attention of the other two.
"Brother Fan, A Liao, there is something in that rock wall!"
As she said this, she changed from a sitting position to a standing position, and walked more than ten meters in the direction back to the passage. Then she put her hat on her head and shouted The light shone on an unremarkable rock wall of the passage.
“What?”
Wang Zhifan immediately stood up alertly when he saw this, and went closer to check, but he could not find anything unusual on the rock wall. It looked like just This small, unremarkable part of the gray cave rock wall consists of nothing but bare and uneven stones.
“It’s a humanoid statue. My summons found a hidden humanoid statue inside.”
Chu Wei then explained to Wang Zhifan. While she was speaking, her female ghost summon appeared from the rock wall in front of them. It seemed that it had accidentally passed through the wall and discovered the abnormality here.
"Human statue? Ah Wei, if such a thing really appears in a place like this, we'd better leave quickly."
Wang Zhifan's hair on his back almost stood up when he heard what Chu Wei said. , just imagine, discovering a humanoid statue in the rock wall of a gray cave passage where monsters are densely populated, would that be a good thing?
But Chu Wei was not as nervous as Wang Zhifan at the moment. She quickly took out the special instrument she had for the Administration, clicked on the screen, and called up a page.
“According to the image seen by my summons, this kind of statue seems to have been recorded in the gray domain database of the Administration. It may be that we have encountered a special event.”
She then said while showing Wang Zhifan the information displayed on the instrument.
