Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 34: Solving the Mystery

The more clumsy the way the maze, especially the unfamiliar one, is, the more it works.

It's like now, a row of ten people stick to the wall and move slowly, even if they encounter the intercepted monster on the way, they won't easily leave the wall along the way, with this insistence, soon they will see the results.

After a corner, the priest found a very unnoticeable gap. This gap is hidden in the corner, small enough to hold only one person sideways. Not only that, but it is also cleverly located in the dead corner of the basement light, it is already dark here, and there is no fire inside that gap, it is hidden in the dead corner, if it did not touch the wall, it would not have seen the gap with the naked eye at all.

“Yay, the exit is actually here.” The Reverend was surprised: “I've been back and forth here so many times, I haven't noticed a single one, it's too hidden.” Several sighed at the hidden location of this gap, and the leaves just stood at the end of the team laughing without saying a word.

In fact, such a design is only a calf test knife for later copies of the labyrinth. The maze replica requires not only the player to start his mind, but also the player's ability to observe and collaborate so that the maze replica can be broken as quickly as possible.

A few people faced that gap for a while, and after a discussion, Qi looked back at Ye and said, “Son, are we going in now? ”

“Me and the bandits go to the front, I suspect the organ inside, you law professions are careful to protect yourselves.” Leaf looked behind the lacquer gap and spontaneously said.

The presence of thieves in the team is to improve the overall team's survival rate, so in a deserted copy it is usually a thief probe, and their perceptions are high so that the presence of the various organs in the copy can be felt. However, in this team, Ye Yi decided to explore the path ahead with the thief, because she didn't believe in the thief's technology, but as captain of the team, she needed to step forward and think about how the entire copy would be cleared faster.

Two highly perceived career paths are quick indeed. Though the gap is followed by darkness, it does not pose a threat to the progress of the entire team, with Leaf words following behind her eight players with her high perception and constant command.

At first, the eight players weren't used to walking in the same way as the blind, but they got used to it for a while, and they were all familiar with it and traveling a little faster. On the other hand, the bandits in the forefront were very careful on the way, from time to time stopping to shake their heads in search of organs. His dismantling apparatus was highly proficient. Six apparatuses were dismantled continuously along the way. Only one of them was dismantled. Fortunately, the milk of the priests and priests in the team was sufficient to allow the whole team to pass through the apparatus without harm.

Soon, it was at the bottom of the road.

However, there seemed to be no further way forward, there was only one wall, and there were no gaps in the stiff seams.

A group of people kept searching at the end of this dead road, did not find any particular abnormality, but the leaf words stood in front of the wall, reaching out and gently touching the masonry on the wall, the slightly rough marks seemed to be somewhat different. She hurriedly pulled out the torch she was carrying and lit it, then raised her head over it and directed it towards the wall.

I just noticed that the wall seemed to have a lot of strange patterns engraved on it, but I couldn't see anything.

“What is this?” One of the MTs stared at the trace on the wall and looked to the left, but couldn't see anything.

Leaf words also stared at the wall, only to see that the masonry coming out in the lower right corner of the wall was smooth and blank, and the whole wall looked out of place. Suddenly Leaf seemed to think of something, and she let the people around her lift the torch, and she retreated a distance, then looked at the wall and smiled: “This is a puzzle. ”

“Puzzle?” A few people obviously did not think of this answer.

“Stand back and you'll see.” Leaf words command an MT to try to move the masonry on the wall, if not, it's movable. Now that we have determined what it is, it is easy to decrypt it. The three stinking leathersmiths make up a lot of bright pieces. Even if the puzzle is complicated, under the wisdom of so many people, the puzzle is completed in less than three minutes.

At the moment of completion of the puzzle, everyone found that the ground under the feet began to vibrate strongly. Such vibration caused some palpitations in the heart, but the system did not prompt any danger or anything, the leaf words did not move, quietly awaited the vibration of the past, others saw the leaf words did not move, nor panicked, and stood with her in place to await the vibration of the past.

The vibration grew stronger and stronger. Ye Zheng looked around for a moment, only to see that the wall carrying the puzzle mural did not open as she had expected, while the wall on the right hand side of the puzzle was open, which was a bit against the minds of normal people. However, now that there is an exit, there is no need to stay here and wait.

The wall on the right hand side slowly moved away, and the ground vibrated more and more violently, the heart of the leaf word suddenly raised an idea. I was afraid that the place I was walking would never come back. I don't know why I had this idea. Anyway, the leaf word came to me in the team channel and said: “Everybody stay close to me and stand to the gap that the wall is moving away. ”

Everyone immediately followed the leaf words, just when a group of people just stood in the gap, they heard the system prompt: “You don't know what strange device was touched, the whole basement began to tremble violently, you looked at the rocks and dust that kept falling from the top of your head, suddenly a bad idea came to your mind, maybe it will collapse here...”

At the end of this narrative note, the soft but cold female voice of the system echoed: “The tunnel began to vibrate strongly, about to collapse, and the escape counted down to sixty seconds...” Say it, and it started reading seconds.

As soon as Ye heard this prompt, he shouted: “Run!” Just the first one went into the broken corridor of the wall, and the rest of the team didn't even think to follow her immediately and jumped into the corridor and kept running.

“Careful with the accelerating potion, don't get buried!” They had just jumped into the tunnel, and suddenly a lot of rubble had fallen off the ceiling where they had just stood a second earlier, and the quicker that rubble had fallen, the quicker it was like chasing their footsteps, following them quickly. Ye looked back and ran at the end of the day, the magician and the priest, both professions are indispensable in the team, so don't leave the team, so at the same time as you escape, Ye also don't forget to remind everyone to have a short leg and drink some potion.

Players who can get into two groups every day are definitely not grass bags, although they are not top players, but consciousness is definitely good. Several law professions had begun to pick up accelerating potions in their pockets before the leaf words shouted for them to take them, and after hearing the leaf words, they poured them into their mouths with no hesitation, and then drove forward with no life.

This passage is narrow and long, black paint doesn't know where it leads, okay, there is no pervert on the road to design any organ, a group of people just buried their heads forward and flushed it out. The more rock falls in the back, the faster it falls, and finally, not only is the law profession drinking accelerator potion, even the warrior MT is starting to drink potion.

One minute is usually so short, but now, without exception, everyone thinks it's so long, as if it can't be consumed all the time. Just when you feel like you've been gone 10,000 years, a little burglar behind the leaves shouted with surprise: "I see the light, I'll be out in a minute. Come on, everybody! ”

This message is undoubtedly like a needle, immediately giving all players a thrill, seems to have made their footsteps a lot lighter, each biting their teeth off for a final punch.

It just felt so bright in front of me that everyone jumped out of that narrow, elongated passage and appeared in a hall. And just after everyone had rushed into the lobby, they only heard a few loud rumblings. Looking back, the smoke and dust were scattered, and the passage they had rushed out had been blocked to death by the boulders.

Looks like we can only go forward, and this copy of the maze has blocked all the way back, and now the only way left is to go forward.

The crowd took a moment off before they began to measure the hall. All they saw was a chessboard in the middle of the hall. They walked over and saw that there was an unfinished game of chess. From the chess game, both black and white chess players are killing each other.

The lobby is a confined space and the only way out has been blocked, so the only clue left to leave is the unfinished game of chess in front of it.

Leaf reached out and wanted to pick up the black chess, not only did he not move the half, but he also got a systematic prompt: “Your chess is white. ”

Looks like, to get out of here, we're going to have to finish this game. The player side is white chess, and the black side is system. There was no difficulty in this setting, but... Leaf doesn't play chess, not only chess, but she's not really good at all the game of chess.

There is no way, nobody is perfect, forgive me for being such a master of games as Leaf Word, but also has a short length.

She looked at the wreckage, grabbed her head and turned to the nine people on the team and said, "Which one of you will play chess? ”

In fact, at this time, Yip is ready for the worst. No one will make a big deal of it. Just walk a few steps, lose to the system, and be punished for what you are doing. Ye's idea is to pinpoint the key to gaming companies designing games - planning will never make difficult questions that players cannot overcome.

It's like this game of chess right now, planning may be a master of chess, but he can't guarantee that all players will play this thing. After all, this thing is not as common as five chess and flying chess, so even if the player loses to the system, there has to be this difficult solution.

It is precisely the experience of the last decade of gaming, so Leaf is not worried about this problem.

But she didn't realize that there was actually a chess player in this team, the magician. He put away his staff and said, "Let me try.” Then he walked to the front of the chess board, watched the chess game, and sighed after a while: "This game is a bit difficult, I can't guarantee that I will win, especially from the current chess game, white chess is temporarily in the downwind. ”

Everyone told him not to bear the psychological burden, so the magician took a few deep breaths and started playing chess.

It wasn't until after we started playing chess that Leaf and the rest of us knew the real purpose of designing this chess board. Turns out the system defaults to an optimal solution, and White Chess can beat Black Chess in about twenty steps, but in those twenty steps, if White Chess goes wrong, there will be an elite monster in the lobby with strong attack and defense, and the player has to destroy it within two minutes, otherwise it will be full of blood and blue in two minutes.

This is not the most perverted, the most perverse thing is that the default maximum thinking time for players is also 2 minutes for each step of chess. If the player hasn't figured out how to take the next step after these two minutes, then the system will default to the player taking the wrong step of chess and will brush another elite weird out...

As for the players going right, a color ball will also be painted in the lobby, adding an effective advanced BUFF that lasts up to two hours, and all BUFFs will not be repeated and concealed from each other.

After the magician took a few steps, everyone figured out the middle way. This BUFF must be absolutely effective for the battle below, while the elite monster is consuming the player's supply and strength, making the player's chances of winning the next battle even lower. After learning about this setting, the magician's pressure suddenly got a lot bigger. Every time he took a step of chess, he had to think left and right. He had to figure out the best step to put the chess down.

So, under the pressure of a high concentration of sorcerers and others, the sorcerer finally finished the game, three steps more than the system's default optimal solution, which means that they added only 17 BUFFs to the leaf word, and killed three elite monsters. Although not very full, the score is already very good.

Anyway, the leaf word is very satisfied with this result.

Just after the magician's final step, before he had had time to express his nervousness, he saw a wall suddenly fall in front of him, and a huge deep valley appeared in front of everyone… (to be continued.
