Chapter 262 Illusion or Reality
Chapter 62 Illusion or Reality
The stone gate is like a huge black mouth, and the Doro people are standing in the mouth like this. The one who is the leader walks out of it, holding a bright torch in his hand, and the Doro behind People followed suit.When all the people came out, this is the leader, Doro, who approached the stone gate and pressed lightly on an ordinary stone that cannot be placed on the ordinary stone.Ye Ci heard that crisp "click" sound again, and then, the stone door slowly rose up.

"Lord Nob is relieved now. As I said at the beginning, it is impossible for the White Elf and Dilo to discover this secret. Darufar will never discover this secret."

"Be careful sailing for ten thousand years. That white elf is so valued by Darufar. It is normal for Master Nob to be careful." The leader of the Doro finally showed a smile on his face, and he directed at the other Doro. Luo Ren nodded: "Okay, let's go back quickly, we have stayed here for a long time, I am afraid that we will be discovered, met by Darufar or that white elf, we will even risk the extra things Out."

"Yes!" A group of Doro people lined up in front of Ye Ci and left quickly.

They were still talking in a low voice while walking, but at this time, no matter what they said, they no longer had any attraction to Ye Ci.Because of the current Ye Ci, all the attraction is placed on the stone gate just now.

She followed a group of people and confirmed that they had all left the dark cave and began to crawl towards the tribe. Then she quickly reached the bottom of the dark cave and found Arauna.

"Where have you been?" Arauna crawled out from the crevice of the thin stone, and exhaled a long breath. "Just now I saw a member of the Norb Guard approaching. It scared me to death. Fortunately, he didn't find me. If he found me, I didn't change my clothes. I don't know how to explain it."

"Isn't this not discovered?" Ye Ci smiled slightly.

"It's too thrilling." Arau patted his chest and let out a long breath. He could see that the search by the Doro just made him extremely nervous, and then he looked at Ye Ci again: "You You haven't answered me yet, where did you go just now?"

"I went with the Nob Guard."

"Ah! Are the Nob Guards here? What are they doing here? Are they here to arrest me!" It can be seen that Arauna is very afraid of the Nob Guards, which may have something to do with the fact that he is often bullied by these people. Even though he is now a powerful shaman, he still sweats nervously when mentioning these people.

"No, they're just looking for something." Ye Ci waved at Arau, motioning him to follow him.

"what?"

"I don't know that."

Arauna scratched his hair and looked very strange: "Looking for something in the dark cave? What could it be?"

Ye Ci looked at Arauna with a smile, then turned around and walked in front, and said as he walked, "Arauna, is there any forbidden area in your tribe?"

"Forbidden place?" Arauna followed Ye Ci, he turned his head and saw Ye Ci's pointed ears, and he began to reach out and touch his ears again, "What forbidden place?"

"It's a place that no one can get close to." Seeing Arauna's strange expression, Ye Ci explained again in words he could understand.

Arauna shook his head like a rattle, and said, "No! In our tribe, where can we go? Master Darufar has not marked down any forbidden areas." Having said that, he tilted his head and frowned. He frowned and said: "However, a few years ago, Lord Nob told Lord Darufar that the magma people in this dark cave were very dangerous and could hurt people at any time. Lord Darufar himself After seeing it, children are no longer allowed to come near here. Until now, even going down into the tiankeng to mine is restricted.”

"You mean, so you children can come here at will?"

"Yes! However, no child dares to enter the dark cave. The magma man inside is so fierce that the children are scared to death, so they only dare to play outside." Arauna seemed to think of his childhood: " When I was a child, I used to bring Mara to the sinkhole to pick up rocks for fun, but later, the sinkhole was not allowed to enter. Only those who have the permission of Lord Darufar can enter here." Arauna affirmed Answer: "After I joined the Nob Guard, I never came in. I brought you here according to my childhood memory."

Ye Ci nodded, as if he had a general understanding of what was going on.

It turns out that this forbidden area has not always existed, but was slowly formed recently.The question that Nob raised to Darufar did not appear recently. According to Arauna, these magma people had it when they were young, but why didn't Nob raise it before?After he brought it up, he even invited Darufar to inspect it in person, which shows that he is not afraid of what Darufar will find out, or that he is open-minded.

If, indeed, that is the case, what is that door?
Ye Ci fell into deep thought, it seems that it is useless to think about it now, the easiest way is to open the door directly, and then go behind the door to see what is going on.

Nob must be hiding some secret, as the saying goes, villains are always close.This is inevitable.

However, is Darufar necessarily a gentleman?If he is a gentleman, why didn't he tell Ye Ci that this is a forbidden place?Did he feel that there was no need to say it, or did he simply forget about it, or did he have other deep meanings?

As Ye Ci walked towards the Shimen, he secretly speculated about these things in his heart.

Because it is a holographic game, all NPCs in all games are independent individuals, especially NPCs like Darufar are representatives of high intelligence. They are no different from ordinary humans, except for some Except for the basic attributes left by the NPC itself, he is basically a living person.He has human IQ, human emotion, human desire and weakness.Therefore, Ye Ci needs to be more cautious when dealing with such NPCs, or he will be calculated if he is not careful.

Arauna looked very strange, he was chirping and saying something along the way, but Ye Ci was thinking about other things and didn't hear what he said, just perfunctory him, he was not angry, this He is a simple child who often talks to himself and is easily satisfied and happy.

Soon, Ye Ci took Arauna to the front of the stone gate. Arauna looked around, but found nothing. He looked at Ye Ci and said strangely: "White Elf, where are we going? Here is already It's the end, and we've already been here just now."

Ye Ci narrowed his eyes and didn't directly answer Arauna's words. Instead, he walked to the position of the Doro who was the leader just now, stretched out his hand and carefully stroked the area he had searched just now.The movement of the Doro just now was so fast that Ye Ci could only see a rough area clearly, but she couldn't see which stone it was, so now she can only touch it one by one.Fortunately, the range is not large, as long as she doesn't miss any stone or any gap, she will never miss this mechanism.

Arauna stood beside Ye Ci, leaned closer to the place Ye Ci touched, and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and gently pressed it down on a protruding stone.Next, a rumbling sound was heard, and the stone gate slowly fell down.

Arauna was obviously frightened by this situation, he jumped back suddenly, and then hid behind Ye Ci, until he found that a stone gate had fallen, he poked his head out to look at the stone gate and said: "This what is the place?"

And Ye Ci looked at the stone door in amazement, she looked back at Arauna and then at the stone door, and finally looked at the place where Arauna pressed just now, but she still couldn't see anything. "Arauna, where did you press just now?"

"Here." Arauna looked at Ye Ci strangely, pointing to a protruding stone: "Didn't you see such a big stone?"

Ye Ci was horrified, she really didn't see it, even now that Arau pointed at the stone, she still didn't see anything, but when she stretched out her hand to touch it, it was blank, there was nothing at all!She was shocked!No wonder these Doro people have no fear, no wonder they can't find the mechanism anyway, so it is so, so it is!
This mechanism is basically impossible for outsiders to touch or discover except for the people of the Doro people's own race!Ye Ci didn't know what they got here. In short, this concealed effect made Ye Ci unable to help but exclaim.

Ye Ci took a deep breath, she glanced at Arauna, nodded: "Okay, let's go in."

No wonder Nob asked Arau to follow him.It seems that in addition to hating Arauna, it is also because Arauna doesn't know his secret at all.He is so confident that he allows himself to enter the dark cave every day, because although he is keen, he will never find this mechanism, and although Arauna is a Doro, he is not keen and understands this kind of thing. If no one points it out As for the agency, Arauna would never find out in his lifetime.

Ye Ci couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart.She thought Nob was an NPC with a relatively low IQ, but judging from this matter, this guy might not be much stupider than Darufar, or in other words, he would be smarter.

"Go in?" Arauna looked at the dark cave and couldn't help shivering.I don't know why, looking at this hole that looks like a devil's big mouth, a trace of deep fear welled up in his heart, swallowing his courage bit by bit.

"Are you afraid?" Ye Ci glanced at Arauna, his pale face was filled with fear of this place.

Arauna glanced at Ye Ci, remembering what Ye Ci said to him when he and Ye Ci first arrived in the dark cave.He took a deep breath and tried hard to get the fear out of his mind. After a while, he finally calmed down the agitation in his heart before shaking his head firmly: "No, I'm not afraid."

Ye Ci raised his eyebrows. This child has grown up. Sooner or later, he will become a senior shaman, or a top shaman. Ye Ci seems to have seen that day.She nodded and walked towards the dark hole: "Do you have lighting skills?"

"Yes." Arauna froze for a moment, quickly chanted a spell, lit a bright ball of light in his palm, quickly caught up with Ye Ci's footsteps, and followed her towards the bottom of the cave.

This is a staircase that seems to have no end, and it is so boring that people can't breathe.Ye Ci walked ahead cautiously. She amplified her perception to the highest point, turning her 360 million pores into radars. No matter where there is any problem, the arrow in her hand will not hesitate. shoot out.

This is Nob's secret, it must not be so safe, there must be a mechanism.

This is what Ye Ci guessed, but after walking all the way up the stairs, Ye Ci didn't find any mechanism.Could it be that I was thinking wrong?
Ye Ci stood at the last step of the stairs, looking around carefully, but found nothing, nothing.Ye Ci took a breath, maybe he was really wrong.She was about to step down the stairs, but was grabbed by Arauna behind her, Ye Ci turned to look at Arauna, a little strange: "What's wrong?"

"Wait a minute! I'll lead the way!" Arauna shook his head immediately, signaling Ye Ci not to go down.

"Why?" Ye Ci felt that his perception was much stronger than that of Arona. If he led the way, at least he could find many traps, but if Arauna led the way, he might not be able to find anything.

Arau took a look at Ye Ci, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, his expression seemed to be that there was something wrong with Ye Ci's strength.Ye Ci couldn't help being a little amused, and stretched out his hand to pull his hand: "What are you doing? I'm not blind."

"If you're not blind, don't you see the magma under the stairs?" Arauna's face was pale, and Ye Ci's almost stepping on it just now made him panic, so he grabbed her in a hurry.

"Magma?" Ye Ci looked in disbelief, she looked down at the dark ground, how could there be any magma?Moreover, if there is magma, it should be very hot, but why can't she feel the heat at all?Did I see it wrong, or did Arauna hallucinate.She shook her head: "There is no magma here, isn't there a black ground underneath?"

"No, there must be magma." Arauna insisted so rarely. He still shook his head, denying the words. In his opinion, this place is full of danger.

Ye Ci frowned, starting from the mechanism just now, what he and Arauna saw were different, who had hallucinations?Ye Ci looked at Arauna, should he believe in Arauna?She thought for a while, then pulled out an arrow from behind, and then threw it towards the black ground, and then, she saw that the arrow was swallowed by the ground in an instant, without even leaving a trace of green smoke. Down, it's like being thrown into magma!
Ye Ci was horrified!

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly so!

She has always been very confident in herself, but now, but now, everything in reality told Ye Ci that she was blinded by her own eyes!She looked up at this extremely ordinary cave, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised in her heart. In her eyes, this is what it looks like, but what does it look like in Arauna's eyes?Ye Ci turned her head to look at Arauna, and saw that although the child was pale, his eyes were as tenacious as thunder. She thought, she might be able to guess how terrible this place looked in Arauna's eyes. He didn't back down, but offered to lead the way at such a time. What kind of courage is this?
Just looking at Arauna for a while, Ye Ci showed a slight smile on her face, she stretched out her hand and patted Arauna on the shoulder: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I confirm." Arauna nodded vigorously, and then took a deep breath: "My father is a Doro warrior, I will never be a coward, I swear in the name of my deceased father, I Make sure to do this."

Ye Ci raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

And Arauna continued: "White Elf, you were the one who taught me and protected me from the beginning. This time, I will protect you."

Ye Ci looked at Arauna for a while, finally lowered her eyelids, took a few steps back, and gave Arauna the vanguard position, her voice was low and calm: "I will give my life to your hands superior."

Ye Ci's words made Arauna's body shake. It seems that Ye Ci's words are a very heavy pressure on Arauna, but this pressure may not be able to crush him. Nodded, then walked to the front, stood on the last staircase, took a deep breath, and said to Ye Ci: "In front of us is a piece of magma, and there is a passage above the magma. However, the stones in this passage are extremely narrow, you must walk where I stepped, otherwise you will fall."

Although Ye Ci saw no difference in the pitch-black ground ahead, Ye Ci still nodded.She has never been so passive like she is now. Everything she sees and hears may be false. She cannot make any judgments. In the end, she can only entrust everything to an NPC child and trust him unconditionally .

For Ye Ci, this is really too risky.

However, since ancient times, benefits and risks have coexisted.Ye Ci never thought of herself as a good boy, she knew that she was actually only a gambler, and now, she just wanted to make a bet with herself.

Arauna started to walk, his steps were steady and powerful but very slow, as if to let Ye Ci behind him see clearly.He raised his foot and stepped on a stone. Ye Ci memorized the stone clearly. Just as he was about to step on it, he heard a rumbling sound from the top of the stairs behind him.Both Ye Ci and Arona looked back, and it seemed that the stone gate at the entrance had been closed.

Ye Ci thought to himself, he knows the location of the mechanism that comes in from outside, not the location of the mechanism that goes out from inside. Even after exploring this forbidden area, he may not be able to go out, which is a bit embarrassing.However, things must have come to this point, and it is a bit redundant to think about this problem again. Now we can only go on and go to the innermost to see what we can find.

Ye Ci walked step by step with Arauna, she was impartial, she would never act casually by herself, she must walk in the place that Arauna stepped on, which made both of them a lot easier.

I don't know how long I walked, but Ye Ci looked up and saw a lake with crystal clear water.However, she didn't quite trust her eyes, but stopped, and asked, "Arauna, is there a lake in front of you?"

"Yes." Alona wondered why there was such a clear lake in an underground place full of magma, but he still answered Ye Ci honestly: "There are many flowers blooming on top of the lake. The flowers are so beautiful, I have never seen them before."

However, Ye Ci was at a loss for these things, she didn't see anything, except for a clear lake, she didn't see anything.Arauna looked at Ye Ci's dazed expression and knew that she was different from what he saw, so he could only sigh: "There are still a few stones left and we will go ashore, follow me."

Ye Ci stopped talking, nodded, and stepped on Arauna's footprints and quickly went ashore.

Although in Ye Ci's view, the so-called shore is no different from the place she just walked by, but now she doesn't believe her eyes anymore.

"In front is a very clear lake. The lake is full of flowers and filled with mist. I don't know what this means." Arauna stood beside Ye Ci and described what he saw to Ye Ci. listen.

Ye Ci nodded, although what she saw in front of her eyes were all illusory scenes, it didn't mean she lost all her abilities.At least she hasn't lowered her map sensitivity at all.She stood by the lake, walked left and right, finally found a place, took the arrow from behind, and shot an arrow towards the middle of the lake.The white bone arrow made a sharp whistling sound, and moved quickly as it scraped the surface of the water.And the traces it left on the water surface became Ye Ci's best reference for judgment.

Sure enough, in the place where Arauna described flowers, the bone arrow would be somewhat blocked, which can be easily seen from the traces on the water surface.Ye Ci has a good memory, and after releasing more than 30 arrows, he remembered the positions of the relatively large clusters of flowers on the entire lake.The next thing she wants to test is whether the lake water is poisonous.

She looked at her body, and there was an intermediate-level antidote, which could cure normal poisons, and even if her own blood thickness couldn't cure the poison, with the support of the blood bottle, it shouldn't be fatal.Squatting by the lake, Ye Ci stretched out his hand, gently stroking the clear water.

Ripples immediately appeared on the calm lake, and the clear water droplets rolled up with Ye Ci's hand.There are many beautiful stones under the water, Ye Ci stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful, wanting to test if there is any danger, but nothing happened.Ye Ci then straightened up, and said to Arauna, "Can you swim?"

"Of course, we often deal with mermaids. If you can't swim, you won't be able to live."

"Okay, let's swim over."

Arauna nodded and followed Ye Ci into the lake.Ye Ci did not forget to tell Arauna: "I can't see those few flowers, so I have no way to test what will happen to them, so don't get close to them, and remind me if I get close."

Ye Ci was a little discouraged, she didn't bring any water breathing medicine with her, and she even put the fishing rod with water breathing ability in the warehouse. It seems that the plan will never change quickly, and you will never know I need something.It's a pity that the package on my body is too small to fit so many things.It seems that after going out from here, she has to find a way to change to a few bigger packages.

Arauna and Ye Ci were swimming slowly in the lake, Arauna's cane was illuminated with lighting, so that the two would not lose their way in the dark environment.

Suddenly Ye Ci heard some voices, very sharp and piercing, which made people upset.She looked around but couldn't find it, and Arauna said in panic, "Look, White Elf, you're under the water!"

Only then did Ye Ci lower his head, only to see that many mermaid-like monsters were constantly swimming under himself and Arauna. They wanted to rush up, but they seemed to be scruples, so they hesitated.Ye Ci threw a scouting technique to them and found that their level was not high, all of them were ordinary monsters around level [-], but there were too many of these monsters.

"What is this?" Arauna was very nervous, and tightly held Ye Ci's arm: "They look like mermaids."

"This is a water demon." Ye Ci looked at the monster attribute in the scouting technique and told Alona: "It's actually similar to a mermaid, and they all eat human flesh for a living."

"What!" Arauna was taken aback, the lighting technique on the staff almost went out, and the water monster below was about to move immediately, and even a brave one rushed up to the two of them, jumped out of the water, opened his blood Basin opened his mouth to attack the two of them.

"Illumination!" Ye Ci yelled quickly, and Arau took a spirit and immediately ignited another illumination technique. With a wave of Ye Ci's hand, the ball of light raised by the illumination technique jumped up and rushed towards him. The water demons of the two of them shot away.Unbiased, the ball of light just hit the water demon's face, and the water demon's sharp fingers immediately covered his face, screamed, and jumped into the bottom of the water again, daring not to come up again.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Ci could clearly see the appearance of the water demon.

In fact, water monsters and mermaids look very similar.However, the upper body of a mermaid is exactly the same as that of a human, while the upper body of a water demon has many characteristics of a fish.For example, their scales are distributed to the chest, there are webbed between the hands, there are many fins under the arms, the ears are also fin-like, and the face looks like a human, but there are no eyes in the eye sockets. Yes, but a piece of smooth skin.

After Ye Ci knocked out Arauna's lighting technique, Arauna quickly ignited another lighting technique, and took a look around according to Ye Ci's instructions.The pure white light reflected on the water surface, illuminating the pitch-black lake surface with a morbid light.

The water demon who was attacked by Ye Ci just now seemed to be injured, and has been curled up in the group of water demons, unable to move, while the other water demons surrounded him, grimacing at the direction of the two of them, while still hesitating. He hesitated and dared not go forward, but wandered back and forth at the bottom of the water not far from the two of them.

Ye Ci looked at the water monster under the water, thought for a while, and said to Arauna, "Throw this ball of light towards the place where the water monster is concentrated, and then click another one."

Arau nodded, and immediately threw the ball of light in his hand towards the place where the water monsters were most densely populated, and lit up another ball of light in the other hand.The ball of light that was thrown into the water immediately caused panic among the water demons. They fled in all directions, screaming and looking very scared.

Arauna was a little strange: "They seem to be very afraid of light."

"Well, don't you see that none of them have eyes?"

Arauna saw this just now, so he was even more surprised: "Yeah, they don't have eyes, why are they afraid of light?"

"Ordinary water monsters have eyes, but these water monsters have no eyes, which means it has something to do with the environment they live in. You see, the sun is not visible here, so over time, the eyes of these water monsters have degenerated As for the water monsters who have lost their eyesight, their other organs must be more sensitive. I don’t know where they are particularly sensitive to light sources. There is no need to be afraid that these water monsters will approach us." Ye Ci analyzed his understanding of water monsters for Arau.

Arauna nodded, and kept lighting the lighting with both hands to ensure the safety of the two of them.I don't know how long I have been swimming forward, Ye Ci stopped again, pulled up the bow and arrow and released the arrows in all directions, the bone arrows brought a string of water marks on the water surface, Ye Ci used the water to Hen confirmed the direction again.

"It's foggy ahead." Arauna reminded Ye Ci, but Ye Ci couldn't see it.

Ye Ci sometimes feels that there is nothing wrong with this, she can make the most accurate judgment based on the combination of Arauna and what she has seen.

"Don't stop the lighting technique. Let's keep swimming forward. According to the direction where the bone arrow stagnated just now, I think there should be a platform in front." Ye Ci judged from the sound of the bone arrow that there was at least one hard stone directly in front of her just now. The table, but it was invisible in her field of vision.

"I don't know. I can't see it. I just feel that there is fog all around." Arauna looked around, but couldn't see anything. He didn't dare to stop the lighting in his hand at all, and even released it more eagerly than before.

Ye Ci raised his bow again, and fired a few arrows straight ahead. After listening carefully to the echo, he said to Arauna, "There is a platform thirty yards ahead, I don't know where it is. There is a place to go up, you look at it."

Arauna kept throwing the ball of light in front of the two of them, hoping to dispel the dense fog, but it was in vain. They had to swim forward for a certain distance, and Arauna finally fainted. A dark high platform was found in the fog.

"I found it!" Arauna said excitedly, he lit the lighting technique with one hand, and swam towards the table with Ye Ci with the other hand.Swimming all the way to the edge of the platform, Arauna put the ball of light in his hand on each step: "White Elf, look at the ball of light, the place where the ball of light is placed is the steps."

This is a good way, Ye Ci quickly climbed up the ladder.The ladder is not long, only about ten steps, and then Ye Ci stepped on a cold and hard platform.

Ye Ci couldn't see anything in her eyes, it was pitch black everywhere, she seemed to be floating above a lake.

"What's on this table?" Ye Ci stood in place, looked around, but found nothing.

"There is a stone pillar three yards in front of you, and there is a book on the top of the pillar." Arauna looked at the environment in front of him and described it carefully to Ye Ci: "I don't seem to be able to get close to that stone pillar. Walked over and was pushed back. You can try to see if you can touch it."

Ye Ci nodded, and walked straight ahead according to Arauna's description. Sure enough, when she walked about three yards, she felt her toes touched something hard.It can be seen that this is the invisible pillar in her eyes.She raised her hand, put it on her chest and asked, "Is the book here?"

"A little lower." Arauna now seems to be Ye Ci's eyes, guiding her in the direction ahead.

Ye Ci began to correct the position according to Arauna's guidance. Soon, she adjusted her position, took a deep breath, and slowly and gently put her hand down.The moment Ye Ci's hand touched the rough touch, she only felt a white light flash in front of her eyes. This set of white light was so dazzling that she didn't even realize what happened, and fell into dizziness directly. among.

In the dizziness, Ye Ci heard the system prompt beeping.

"You found a mission map: Saga Temple."

Saga Temple?

Ye Ci's mind was muddled, but his eyes were blindingly white, he didn't know where he was, he just felt that his hands and feet were so soft that he couldn't exert any strength.But despite this, there is still a question that keeps lingering in her mind, making her already confused mind even more confused.

Why is the Saga Temple so familiar?Where did it come from, why can't I remember it at all?
He was in a daze all the time, until someone pushed him, and Ye Ci woke up in a daze.She raised her head and looked, only to see a person squatting in front of her, against the light, she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but she could hear his hasty voice keep saying: "White Elf , White Elf, what's wrong with you?"
