Chapter 131 Secrets buried in the dungeon
Since Ji Chaoyang asked this, he should be the second person to eliminate the tornado.
The mysterious voice said that Xu Xin was "the first person among this batch of survivors to artificially eliminate the tornado". It also said the same thing when it discovered underground secrets before, [this batch of survivors].
Last time Xu Xin thought it meant [the group of survivors in Jungle Area 188], but based on what Chang Yin told him, he had already encountered five groups of survivors, and every twelve years, there would be A new group of survivors has come to this world.
So there is no doubt that the first place this time is not the first place in the entire region, but the first place among all the survivors this time.
If Ji Chaoyang is second, then their Jungle District 188 is quite powerful. They can grab the first and second positions among at least hundreds of districts. It seems that the two of them are among the best in any district. existence.
Xu Xin replied: "It is indeed me, are you the second one?"
Ji Chaoyang: "Yes, that voice told me that I am the second person among this batch of survivors to eliminate the tornado manually."
It was just as he expected.
Ji Chaoyang: "Have you returned to the tree house? Let's exchange information by voice?"
Xu Xin: "Okay."
After the voice connection was connected, Xu Xin could hear Ji Chaoyang's slightly heavy breathing on the opposite side.
He was a little confused: "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Chaoyang smiled bitterly: "It's not a big deal. When I came back, I found an ornamental fish near the tree house. It swam very fast, but I didn't catch it in the end. I just came back."
Not caught? Xu Xin blinked.
The ornamental fish on his side surrounded him when they saw him, and they let him catch them casually without resisting. Why did Ji Chaoyang still have to work hard to catch them?
Is it really the intimidation of his clothes?
It's not like that either. Whether it's the colorful scale fish or the Taichi fish, they all circle around him after seeing him. It doesn't seem like they are afraid because of intimidation, but rather like they are attracted by something.
He thought these ornamental fish were resources that were easy to catch.
"Since you know they are ornamental fish, you must have caught a lot of them. Is it that difficult to catch? I feel like I'm doing fine here." Xu Xin asked tentatively.
"There are not many. I caught three green-level ones here. They don't swim very fast, and they are not very vigilant. Just approach slowly and make a surprise attack. Is that how you caught them too?"
< br>
"Absolutely."
"So I suspect that this fast-swimming fish is a blue-level ornamental fish. The new blue-level resources are very precious, so I will keep chasing it. But unfortunately, I tried many ways and couldn't catch it. , and finally let it swim outside the protection range." Ji Chaoyang's voice was filled with regret.
It seems that these fish can indeed escape.
I'll ask Li Wenxi and others after they come back. If they are also in the same situation, it means that it's not the fish he met that is special, but that he himself is special.
As for what is special, Xu Xin doesn't know. Maybe it's the scale armor on his body, or maybe it's because of his creator authority.
"Blue-level ornamental fish? That is indeed a pity." Xu Xin also felt sorry for Ji Chaoyang. He wanted to know what other blue-level ornamental fish could do.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." There was a sound of wet clothes coming into contact with something on the other side of the phone. It must be Ji Chaoyang sitting down, "Let's exchange information, Xu Xin, I've seen everything you posted in the group Yes, my experience is actually similar to yours.”
"I've said everything I need to say in the group, so there's nothing more to say, right?" Xu Xin said. He didn't want to tell others about the abilities he had acquired for the time being. Even he himself hadn't understood the value of [an artist] yet.
"No, it's not this rainy season event, it's the last underground city event." Ji Chaoyang's voice became a little heavy.
"Dungeon activities?" Xu Xin felt a sudden thought.
His dungeon was completely different from others, so he never participated in other people's discussions.
The moment Ji Chaoyang mentioned the underground city, he suddenly thought that Ji Chaoyang seemed to be similar to him.
In addition to completing the dungeon in less than an hour at the beginning and releasing the dungeon guide to everyone on the regional channel, Ji Chaoyang never participated in the discussion again, and even did not participate in the [Explorer] until the end of the dungeon activity. Zhong said something again.
Xu Xin only parted ways with Changyin just before the event ended. His focus had always been on Changyin's family, so he didn't pay too much attention to what the members of the Explorers were doing.
Now that I think about it, could it be that he also encountered something special?
"Actually, I always thought that many people would be able to discover the information hidden in the dungeon, but I didn't expect that after I came out, no one in the regional channel was discussing it."
"...Hidden information in the dungeon?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly. Is the information he knows the same as the information he obtained?
"I've been thinking about whether to tell you this or not for the past few days. It wasn't until you came first again this time that I really made up my mind."
Ji Chaoyang began to tell about his experiences in the underground city.
His dungeon is no different from other people's dungeons, with a deep and dark corridor, dozens of dilapidated wooden doors, and a simple selection of mutated beasts, mechanisms, and treasures.
He had actually obtained all the treasures very early, but he was in no rush to get out of the dungeon.
He checked every room carefully again, and finally found a well-hidden mechanism in an ordinary stone room. After pressing the mechanism, a secret passage appeared.
He walked along the secret passage and finally came to another stone room. The stone room was damp and full of musty smell just like the outside. The only difference was that the walls of this stone room were covered with dense inscriptions.
"Engraving?" Xu Xin thought of the inscription on the stone table, but it probably didn't matter.
"That's right." Ji Chaoyang said.
These characters carved all over the wall are all characters on earth and are composed of a variety of characters, including Chinese characters. Although he could only understand this part of the Chinese characters, the secrets hidden in these words had deeply shocked him at the time.
Ji Chaoyang told Xu Xin his inference.
"You mean, we are not just trying to survive, but we are participating in a cruel selection?" Xu Xin's eyes narrowed.
"Yes, that's what the words engraved on the wall say. The people who engraved these words are the losers of this selection. The underground city we entered was originally a place for the losers."
The information on the wall was very detailed. Ji Chaoyang summarized all the detailed information and finally came to this conclusion.
"Detain losers? Simply detain them?"
"Many people were sent into that stone chamber and carved writings in the stone chamber. But it seems that when these losers were sent into that room, they themselves did not know what they were going to face."
"Are you...really sure? In those messages, did it say how many people would be selected, or for what purpose?"
Xu Xin had actually guessed it a long time ago.
Since the activities in this world have an elimination mechanism, it is most likely to select survivors. Otherwise, all survivors would not be forced to take action by elimination at the end. After all, some people do not know how strong they are unless they are forced.
But conjecture and fact are two different things.
Selection is much more cruel than a simple survival game. If you can cooperate in a survival game, you can stay together and work hard to survive.
As long as we can develop well, apart from not being able to see our former relatives, there is actually not much difference. At worst, we will create another human civilization in this world.
But if it is a cruel selection, it will be completely different.
Because the number of places for any selection is limited.
If only one person is selected from each batch of survivors...
If this is the case, then even Ji Chaoyang, who is on the opposite side of the voice, is even an enemy.
"I don't know about this. Many of the survivors who left words in that room are even as ignorant as us. Only a few are revealing these things. They seem to be survivors who have survived in this world for a long time and were finally eliminated. .
Among the words written all over the wall, some of them were: 'I failed, it seems I am not one of the last ones after all', 'We actually lost to those guys, I am not willing to accept it' and so on. ”
Xu Xin's frown relaxed: "One? That group of guys? In other words, the ones who can reach the end are a group of people?"
Ji Chaoyang's voice was no longer so heavy, and he said with a smile: "At least it's not alone. Otherwise, do you think I will share this information with you? You guys have been stepping on my head. If you really can only There is only one person left, and you are my biggest threat. I would be merciful if I didn’t stab you in the back.”
Xu Xin also smiled: "Do you want to be so real?"
Ji Chaoyang's voice became more formal again: "So, Xu Xin, let's really cooperate. According to the information I obtained, I am afraid that only a small number of people in our group will survive to the end. You and I are The first and second among all, as long as we cooperate, the possibility of surviving to the end is very high. ”
Xu Xin was naturally willing to cooperate with Ji Chaoyang. He joked: "It would be great if I could sign a contract, so that I wouldn't be afraid of you really stabbing me."
"Maybe there will be such a contract in the future?" Ji Chaoyang also joked, and then said seriously, "The cooperation I am talking about this time is not a simple alliance of interests."
"I understand what you mean," Xu Xin said, "You want to say that we form a joint external force, right? If this survival game is really a trial, then except for the mutated monsters above and below the ground, other survivors It’s also a big hidden danger.”
"It's easy to talk to smart people."
Xu Xin chose to believe Ji Chaoyang's words for the time being. Cooperation with a strong man was what he urgently needed.
Therefore, Xu Xin also told Ji Chaoyang what he knew, including his experience in the underground city.
Of course, he concealed the fact that the Changyin family had a good relationship with him and was brought out by him. He only told him that he learned about the original appearance of the world from the mouth of the stone statue, telling him that the world was like fifty years ago. In fact, it is no different from their world. At the same time, we also know that they are the fifth batch of survivors who came here.
After learning the news, Ji Chaoyang on the voice side also thought for a long time. Xu Xin did not interrupt his thinking, and was also thinking at the same time.
If the underground city is really a place where losers are imprisoned, then where do these losers come from? (End of chapter)
