After passing the dangerous cave, Wang Zhifan and the others continued towards their destination according to the route map given by the guide.
This section of the road is not long, probably less than two miles. They only encountered a few mobs that ran out of the nearby solidified gray area. Chen Can, a gunner professional, easily solved them by shooting. They arrived quickly and smoothly. target gray area.
This so-called high-end gray domain is located in a forest on the roadside. It covers an area only half the size of a basketball court and looks very inconspicuous.
The three of them also found a lot of shoe prints, wheel prints, domestic garbage and other things on the dirt road next to the Gray Domain, which confirmed what the guide said that many people had been here.
“We’re finally here! But this gray domain looks so small. Are there no good rewards in it?”
Chen Ming, who was holding a white staff, was the first to approach the foggy edge of the gray area. He looked curiously, trying to see through this gray area that seemed to be able to pass through in two steps.
“The actual size of the gray area has nothing to do with the external area. Maybe it’s so big that you can’t see the edges, so the reward is hard to say. It basically depends on luck.”
Chen on the side Can quickly checked the magazines of his double guns, and then explained to his brother.
Wang Zhifan's observation point is different from the two of them. His eyes are mainly observing the situation around the gray area, that is, the numerous trees and the messy dirt roads.
“Brother Fan, have you discovered anything?”
Chen Can saw that he didn't know what he was thinking about, so he asked curiously, because he also checked the surrounding situation on one side, but did not find anything worth noting.
"I did find something small...but it doesn't matter. Let's go in."
Wang Zhifan then gave a simple reply and took the lead into the gray mist ahead. Chen Ming and Chen Can followed closely.
After the three of them entered the Gray Realm, somewhere in the woods about two hundred meters away from them, a man's voice suddenly sounded in the air, and then several other people responded.
“Boss, will that person just find us?”
"Impossible! If he found out that there are so many of us here, wouldn't he run away quickly? He is not an idiot!"
"That's right...many people in Xia are very smart, and you have to deceive them if you want to. Use some means."
"Boss, how long do we have to wait for them? Seeing as there are only three of them, they must not be able to defeat the gray domain boss inside, and they will not get double benefits."
“Fifteen minutes, no, twenty minutes! The informant said that the tall man is quite strong, so we have to let them spend a few waves in there, and then we can take them all down while they are injured and tired!
Remember, the tall one can be killed, but the other two must be kept alive! They are all the sons of big businessmen in Xia State, so their lives are very valuable!”
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
......
The ambush outside the Gray Realm has been formed. Wang Zhifan and the other three seemed unaware of it and were already inside the Gray Realm. The battle began.
As Chen Can said before, this gray area looks pitifully small from the outside, but once you enter, you will find that it is huge. It is a complex and old huge castle, larger than ten football fields. .
The location they entered was at the entrance to the suspension bridge outside the castle. The suspension bridge had been lowered and leveled. A lot of filth and blood could be seen on the suspension bridge, as well as various pieces of unknown monster corpses.
“Looking at the Western fantasy-style gray area, I guess the innermost BOSS is a vampire or a werewolf! It’s a pity that you can’t take pictures with a camera in this place, otherwise I will definitely make a strategy video and post it on the C site...”
Chen Ming, who was still underage, was excited as soon as he came in and used his imagination.
His brother Chen Can was much more steady. He glanced around the castle solemnly, and then suddenly shot in one direction with both hands, shooting down several small flying birds in the distance that wanted to approach. monster.
“Brother Fan, it seems that players have really visited this place. I don’t know if they are still alive. If we really encounter them, how should we deal with them?”
After Chen Can finished dealing with the mobs, he turned his head and stepped forward towards the suspension bridge and said to Wang Zhifan.
While observing the condition of the entire castle, Wang Zhifan replied:
"It depends on the situation and cannot be generalized. I will tell you when the time comes."
As he said this, he was the first to step onto the suspension bridge and stepped over the broken corpses of various monsters on the bridge. There were some humanoid ones and some non-humanoid ones, but it was certain that there were no humans.
The three of them then carefully passed the suspension bridge without any accidents and entered the gate of the outer city of the castle.
This city gate is also fully open. I don't know if it is like this originally, or if it is the result of the previous players who conquered it.
All in all, Wang Zhifan and the three of them traveled all the way without any obstacles.
After the city gate, they came to a relatively empty flat area. There were also many broken corpses of monsters, and in the dark corners farther away from the city gate, they quickly appeared. A large number of hidden monsters surrounded and charged at them.
These monsters are divided into two types. Half are black crawling monsters that charge collectively on the ground. They look like giant deformed scorpions. The other half are flying monsters that charge down from all directions in the sky. They are only larger than Sparrows are slightly larger, but have long beaks and are incredibly fast.
“Energy Shield!”
"Rain of bullets!"
Chen Ming and Chen Can saw this and started to cooperate. Chen Ming, a priest, was responsible for the defense, and Chen Can, a gunner, launched a range attack. The two of them worked together to block the monsters' first attack. A charge.
"Your cooperation is quite good, but you should save your energy and leave the rest to me."
Wang Zhifan stood in the transparent energy shield unfolded by Chen Ming and first observed a few things. After a few seconds of their skilled cooperation, they suddenly took action, instantly killing all the remaining monsters around them and turning them into ice slag.
“Here he is! Brother Fan’s signature ability is the invincible ice-breaking ice!”
When Chen Ming saw this, he immediately let out a slightly exaggerated voice of exclamation.
It's not like he has never seen Wang Zhifan use the source of ice, but every time he sees it with his own eyes, he is still shocked by this violent aesthetic.
Chen Can, who was on the side, was quite dissatisfied with Chen Ming's yelling behavior, and immediately reprimanded:
"Don't yell like that! You're killing all the monsters around you. You will be happy if I attract you!”
“Oh, brother, I’m not usually like this! Isn’t Brother Fan here?”
Chen Ming immediately responded, saying that he was not lacking in brains, but because Wang Zhifan was there, he was in a very relaxed state and did not want to always act like he was facing a formidable enemy.
"It doesn't matter. It's good for you to relax, but remember not to bring this habit into the dungeon."
The quarrel between the two brothers ended with Wang Zhifan's words, and Wang Zhifan led them through The flat area that had been cleared by the source of ice walked sideways.
This ancient castle has a total of three walls. They are currently located between the first and second walls, and are preparing to go deeper through the portal on the second wall.
As for directly climbing over these city walls, it is not impossible, but Wang Zhifan judged that that kind of behavior would trigger some special reaction mechanisms and greatly increase the complexity of the strategy with two people, so he decided to go step by step Come. Just like the first city gate before, after they found the second city gate easily, they found that this gate was also open, and there were also signs of fierce fighting around it.
But different from those outside, human corpses appeared here for the first time. Although the corpses were not complete, it could be clearly distinguished that they belonged to two men and one woman.
“Only players can appear in such a place. If you look carefully, you might be able to find some extra gains.”
Seeing this, Chen Can adjusted the black sunglasses he was wearing. , examined the corpses on the ground, and then stepped forward and started rummaging, hoping to obtain some equipment left by the dead players.
Chen Ming also quickly joined in. After searching for about ten seconds, he found a copper ring on a severed finger in the pile of corpses.
"Exquisite life recovery ring... This is worthless, so I don't want it. It belongs to a dead person, so bad luck!"
As a son of a rich man, Chen Ming doesn't want everything, so he took a closer look at the ring. Sophisticated-level rings left it alone.
Chen Can, who was not far away, came over to take a look after hearing this. He also did not pick up the copper ring. He turned to Wang Zhifan, who was observing the heights of the castle a few meters away and said:
"Brother Fan, the corpses of the players here have definitely been looted. No good equipment is left at all, only some scraps left to fool people."
Wang Zhifan replied without looking back:
"This is normal. It is estimated that it will be difficult for us to find anything from the players later. Maybe there will be surprises when we get to the BOSS room...and continue on the road."
The three of them passed this small pause and continued on their way, passing through The gate of the second outer wall of the castle came between the second wall and the third wall.
This area is not a completely flat structure. In front of them, there is a ditch more than ten meters wide. Behind the ditch, there is a huge hillside. The third outer wall and the core building of the castle are all Standing at the top of this huge hillside.
Passing through the ditch is an important hurdle they need to face, because the ditch is not filled with ordinary water, but some kind of black liquid that is constantly rolling and bubbling, which looks very wrong.
Jumping over directly seems to be the best option, but even if everyone has the ability to jump, the part of the black liquid in this circle of ditches that spreads into the air above them also indicates that they can force their way through. It won't be easy.
Upon seeing this, Chen Ming raised the white staff in his hand high and used a professional skill towards the ditch ahead.
"Purify!"
As a white light was emitted, a part of the ditch reacted slightly, but overall there was not much change, and it still looked very dangerous.
"This pollution level is so high! My purification ability is not enough!"
Chen Ming then looked at Wang Zhifan and Chen Can next to him and expressed that he was powerless.
"Can you open the cover and try again? As long as the cover can hold up for one second, we can jump over."
Chen Can saw this and gave suggestions.
"It won't work at first glance. You will definitely die if you try it!"
Chen Ming shook his head and answered decisively.
"Then let me do it, this thing is indeed not simple."
Since the two companions couldn't deal with the trouble in front of them, Wang Zhifan immediately took over.
His way of dealing with it was very simple, that is, he pulled out the Qingdi Sword and slashed forward with a normal slash.
As the clear light of the sword passed by, the unknown black bubbling liquid was instantly cut off, and a two-meter-wide passage was opened, as if the river water automatically separated to both sides to reveal the bottom of the river.
“Rush!”
Without Wang Zhifan’s reminder, Chen Ming and Chen Can quickly jumped into the new road and ran over, and the three of them quickly reached the other side of the black water.
"Wow! We are all here, but the things inside are still not closed. Brother Fan, the power of your sword is terrifying!"
After passing this level, Chen Ming looked back and noticed that Wang Zhifan had just struck a sword. The remaining energy is strong, and the separated black water still remains separated.
"It won't close again."
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhifan shook his head after hearing this, indicating that Chen Ming didn't know enough about the knife just now, so he raised his legs towards the hillside in front.
At the same time, many unknown black figures flew out from the windows on various floors in the castle high up. They all charged down towards them and merged into a torrent of monsters that seemed to completely submerge and engulf them.
"The source of ice."
Wang Zhifan instantly burst out with his epic ice power, killing all the monsters that wanted to attack, and passed another level of test.
As players with stronger physiques than ordinary people, the three of them were still fully equipped. It was quite easy to climb a hillside. They arrived at the bottom of the third wall of the castle in less than two minutes and found the key on the wall. The third gate.
This gate is in a rather special state. You can see that it is closed, but a large hole has been blown out of the door for people to pass through. However, the hole is dark and makes people feel faint. Feeling in danger.
“I’ll try it with a detector bomb.”
Upon seeing this, Chen Can unloaded the magazine of his silver pistol and replaced it with a special bullet, and then fired the bullet into the black hole of the gate.
After one shot, his detection bomb seemed to disappear, without causing any feedback on the other side of the black hole. It was obvious that the detection failed.
“There’s something wrong with this door, let’s just climb over the wall.”
Chen Ming then suggested, obviously not wanting to get into this weird black hole.
“Climbing the wall will cause trouble, it’s best to think of other methods.”
Wang Zhifan shook his head after hearing this. He moved his eyes upward to look at the huge building behind the wall. Through the energy trajectory observation ability given by his super perception, he judged that climbing over the wall would trigger a series of chain reactions in the castle.
Chen Ming and Chen Can were obviously convinced by his suggestion. Without asking any more questions, they began to wander under the wall and ponder it.
In a few seconds, Chen Can made a new discovery and raised his finger to point to a short hole behind a corner.
"There is a hole here! There is nothing abnormal inside! Why don't you crawl in from here!"
His voice fell, and Chen Ming, who came to check the situation, made an objection:
"No! This must be a dog hole! I don't want to get into a dog hole!"
Wang Zhifan ignored their quarrel. He carefully observed the door with a strange black hole in the wall for a while, and then walked to the side. In the distance, he raised his hand and knocked on the nearby stone, and a sound suddenly came from the door. (End of this chapter)
