Chapter 39 Online for an average of five hours a day? What is offline?
Yiye Zhiqiu's vigilance is correct.
As soon as the two people ran down the stairs, more than 20 fully armed soldiers rushed into the maze after them.
The man who ran back from Sayazi to report the news stood among them.
Seeing his shield being taken away by the skeleton soldiers, he almost vomited blood out of breath.
The commander of the leading team didn't care so much. He directly pulled out his short flintlock gun and pointed it forward.
"Fire!"
The two players running towards the maze couldn't understand what he was shouting. They only heard a gunshot from behind, followed by crackling gunfire!
Lead projectiles flew wildly in the dark open space, hitting the ancient stone bricks and granite columns, splashing large amounts of gravel and dust!
The two sides are already far apart.
In addition, the two of them are skeleton soldiers with their own "long-range dodge buff", otherwise I'm afraid they would have been killed in this round of volley!
But even so, Yiye Zhiqiu still saw with fear that a bullet passed through the middle of his ribs and dug a hole in the ground!
"Holy shit! It's just two skeletons. How about sending a division to chase them?!" Hu Wan ran while cursing at the group of musketeers who were reloading on the steps behind him.
It seems that this bad planner deliberately doesn’t want them to go upstairs, and specially sent a group of super soldiers to punish them!
Watching the two skeletons disappear into the darkness, the human commander leading the team raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to stop shooting.
"Damn it, we should shoot the flares first." The adjutant cursed, with a frightened expression on his face.
Once they heard that there were undead, everyone was so panicked that they completely forgot about the content of their usual training... although they didn't usually train much.
The reason why they were so panicked was not because the undead themselves were scary, but because the undead appeared in the maze.
This is not a good sign.
"Are you going to catch up?" A militiaman swallowed and looked nervously at the commander on the side.
The officer said nothing, weighed the pros and cons for a long time, and finally missed the best opportunity to pursue, and then made a decision.
… First report to Sheriff Adelai, and then notify the Adventurer's Guild!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They are not adventurers, just militiamen in the town.
Although their job includes guarding the entrance to the maze, they are really not good at the high-risk task of exploring the maze...
…
The other side.
Official website of "Natural Disaster OL".
Brother Yiye Zhiqiu, who had disappeared for most of the day, finally reappeared in the sight of netizens.
Zhiqiu Yiye: "Brothers! I found another exit from the maze!"
Zhiqiu Yiye: "!"
Tauren warrior: "You went outside?!" br/>
· Hu Wan: "md, as soon as we were about to go up, a bunch of soldiers came out of the door. I almost broke my legs running."
· Gou Shi: "Hahahahahaha! Have you stirred up a hornet's nest? (Funny)"
· Yiye Zhiqiu: "I don't know, anyway, the human I met looked like he had seen a ghost."
It took about a few minutes for Yiye Zhiqiu to tell the story of what happened to him and Hu Wan in the maze.
Including the discovery of new monsters "Slime" and "Lizard Man".
Including new maps "Sewer Corridor" and "Maze Entrance B".
Including his division of forces in the labyrinth and his conjectures about the forces on the ground.
Everyone was fascinated when they heard it.
I didn’t expect that this game, which is still in the closed beta stage, would be so complete.
There is so much new content waiting for them in areas they have not yet explored.
Of course.
This also means that they will soon face new challenges.
Judging from the adventurer’s body and the reaction of the maze guards after seeing the skeleton, it is very likely that the enemies in the maze are no longer just monsters!
Gou Shi: "It seems that there is going to be a wave of adventurers in the maze. (Funny)"
Pig-head Knight: "Whose side are we on? Monsters? Adventurers?"
Sugar-coated haws: "It's obviously a third party."
/>
Explosive knowledge: "To put it mildly, it's a three-party melee, and to put it worse, it's like being caught in the middle and a mixed doubles fight. (Khan)"
Gou Shi: "Exciting. (Funny)"
Ichiba Zhiqiu: "That's not the case. Even if it's a mixed doubles match, we are not the ones caught in the middle and beaten. First, the entrance B of the maze is quite far away from our location. The distance on the ground is unknown, but we walked all night to get there. Secondly, there is a lizardman tribe in the sewer corridor that can use tools and breed slimes in an organized way. Adventurers on the surface will probably have to spend a lot of effort to reach our area."
< br/> Gou Shi: "Let's make some traps! Ambush them on their only way! (Smirk)"
Ichihaki: "I think so too. We can make some traps on the only way between exit B of the maze and the exit A at our feet, and then set some signs around them that only the players can understand. According to the information revealed by the Demon King before, there should be decent rewards for capturing adventurers."
Ichiba Zhiqiu: "By the way, speaking of rewards, when we were farming slimes, we found that killing monsters would drop magic crystals. Although we don't know what the use of that thing is yet, it would be better to collect it if we can." Lord Demon King organized us to touch a bunch of corpses."
Kebab: "I peeled 100 spiders last night, but I was exhausted. T.T"
Unparalleled. Yanxiong: "But the profit is not bad, I earned 10,000 hell coins!"
Ayanami little devil: "Me too!"
Yiye Zhiqiu: "..."
苟始：「我猜某人已经开始流汗了。（滑稽）」
一叶知秋：「……」
……
雷鸣城的冒险者公会，今天也是一如既往的忙碌。
What is different from usual is that this time, not only the adventurers looking for commissions in the hall, but also the gentlemen sitting in the office on the second floor drinking tea and reading newspapers are sweating profusely.
The cause of all this is a report from the Silver Pine Forest in the northwest of Thunder City.
At the entrance to the maze, something unusual happened.
The conference table.
Secretary-General Ruskin held the report in his hand and made a simple statement on behalf of Lennon, the president of the Thunder City Adventurer Guild.
… "...Organized undead activities have appeared at the entrance of the maze in Silverpine Town!"
A man with a beard so long that it dragged on the table and looked like a mage asked with a serious expression.
"Are there any casualties?"
His name is Angelo, a magician from the northern academic state. He is also the resident advisor of the Thunder City Adventurer's Guild, an expert in the field of labyrinth research, and a guest of Archduke Campbell.
Not just knowledgeable.
His own strength should not be underestimated. He had reached the gold level as early as twenty years ago.
If his soul level had not limited his development, his strength would probably be far more than just gold.
But even so, in a place like Thunder City, a gold-level strongman is enough to be called first-rate.
This is especially true for magicians.
"Not yet... As for the maze, it's hard to be sure. Adventurers disappear there every day." Faced with Angelo's inquiry, Secretary-General Ruskin answered respectfully. After hearing this, Angelo thought for a long time, stood up and left the conference table without saying a word, and walked out the door.
The people sitting at the conference table looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment.
An official sitting in the corner whispered.
"Since no one is dead, what is there to panic about?"
Another official said with a trembling voice.
"However, undead... are said to not be generated in dead mazes." The adventurers inside will also become undead... This is the same as the guys wandering in the forest. "
As long as they die without receiving the blessing of Saint Sith and the body is not eaten by wild beasts, there is a certain probability of standing up again.
And this probability is not small.
This is especially true for some adventurers who possess extraordinary powers. It is said that they will turn into relatively troublesome skeletons.
However, just when everyone was relieved, another consultant sitting at the corner of the table suddenly said to the point.
“But if there is no restraint from the Demon King, they will soon be eaten by slimes...”
The atmosphere at the conference table became tense instantly, and there was an uproar.
"What do you want to say?"
"The core of the labyrinth... may be reviving."
"How is this possible?! I have never heard of——"
"That's because you have little experience, and there are many resurrected demon kings on the front line. To hell, it is just a matter of sending another demon king!"
"Some time ago... I think I heard from the church that they did sense the fluctuations of the teleportation circle, but the energy was too weak and they couldn't find the specific direction..."
"Is there another demon king?!"
The expressions on everyone’s faces varied.
Part of it is fear, part of it is expressionless.
In addition, there is also a hint of secret joy that is not easy to detect.
Although the Demon King is scary, it does not necessarily mean bad things. It's like if no one gets sick, hospitals risk going out of business.
Although the Adventurer's Guild will not collapse, its voice and budget will undoubtedly be reduced.
For a labyrinth city that has lost its Demon Lord, they will become redundant sooner or later.
Secretary-General Ruskin quietly looked at President Lennon, who had been silent since the beginning of the meeting, and asked in a low voice.
"Do you want to report it to the mayor?"
The guild leader thought for a long time and then slowly spoke.
"There is no need to rush the report. Even if there are undead activities, it does not mean that it must be related to the Demon King... Moreover, Archduke Campbell has been in poor health recently, and the mayor may not have time to deal with such a trivial matter."
Anyway, the militiamen stationed at the entrance of the maze will report it to the local sheriff, and as the news is uploaded layer by layer, it will eventually reach the mayor.
kovatch her ″ The Demon King’s Territory.
Today is the third day of the official launch of the "Catastrophe OL" server, and it is also the first day that Luo Yan has made up his mind to gradually remove the air wall at the entrance of the mine and gain a pawn outside.
However, what he didn't expect was that just as his Demon King Territory was on the right track, he heard a piece of bad news from Yuyou who was monitoring the official website -
While he was boiling the potion, these players had already provoked the people from Thunder City on their behalf.
Very good.
It seems that I don’t have to worry about how to make the necropolis famous. It won’t be long before a large wave of adventurers come here.
The only good thing is that that place is quite far away from me, and it would take me a whole night just to walk around the maze.
According to the players, there seems to be a lizardman territory between them and Thunder City?
I hope those unlucky guys can carry it for me for a while.
Just when Luo Yan was thinking this, a line of dark green pop-up windows suddenly appeared in front of him.
【Task: Ensure that the average daily online time of closed beta players is more than 5 hours for three consecutive days (completed)! 】
【Reward: 400 beta test qualifications! 】
The five-hour mission completion conditions are still too conservative. Many players did not even log off a few times yesterday, hoping to gain more experience before new players enter the game.
With the completion of the task, 400 closed beta qualifications have been automatically distributed to the players who won the lottery.
At the same time.
· New tasks are also triggered at the same time, and appear immediately below the completed tasks.
【Task: For three consecutive days, ensure that the average daily net gain in faith value exceeds 1,000 points. 】
【Reward: 500 beta test qualifications! 】
This task does not seem to be difficult, after all, each player will provide 1 point of faith by default.
Including the 400 new players, his average daily faith gain has reached 500.
Although soon after players summon it, the average daily consumption will reach 500.
However, at this moment, Luo Yan suddenly noticed the word "net" in the mission description.
In an instant, he was not calm at all.
"Good guy... It's hard for me to keep a low profile."
Yoyo: "There is no other way, Lord Demon King. It seems... we can only invade the surface in a big way!"
Luo Yan: "Do you want me to die?"
Diamond-level fear demons are all rushing outside!
And he is just a steel-level necromancer who has just been promoted.
Yoyou whispered.
"But, but... we can't hide forever, right?"
I don't know if it's because of the fusion of the devil's personality, but this guy is surprisingly more warlike than himself.
However, it also makes sense.
If the Demon King doesn't do something bad, even if people outside know his existence, they won't take him seriously at all.
Over time, he, the devil, has become a joke, and it will be difficult to regain his faith.
Luo Yan closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, trying to find a way to break the situation.
At this moment, Youyou's voice suddenly sounded again.
"Lord Demon King! There seems to be something going on at the intersection on the first floor of the maze!"
Luo Yan was shocked.
"Archduke Campbell came here with the adventurers?!"
Youyou: "No, that's not the case...but there is a lizard that can speak human language, and a spider that can speak human language. They are clamoring to negotiate with you."
Luo Yan was stunned at first, then immediately thought of something, stood up and ordered.
"Let the players leave them alone!"
Yoyo: "I've already held them down! By the way, what kind of acting method, cg animation... Anyway, hurry up and get there!"
