The weird game of the ancient gods

Elise chuckled and said with a hint of irony, "People only want to believe what they see. For me, Azeroth is of course real. I have lived in this world for thousands of years, and everything here , good, bad, evil, kind, I have experienced them all personally, but it is you who make me feel unreal. Your behavior is too weird, not like normal people at all, although Mr. Wang Li said You come from another world, but is there really a world called 'Earth'? This name always sounds weird, as if it was made up."

The mechanic was unconvinced, "Then why do you speak Chinese?"

"To you, what I speak is the so-called 'Chinese', but to me, what you speak is the common language of Azeroth."

Nani? Xia Yu felt as if he had caught something. He was about to ask a question when Elise suddenly stopped and said calmly, "Okay, guys, I think we've arrived."

Sure enough, the edge of the jungle and the camp building in the open space could be vaguely seen ahead.

Several people immediately stopped chatting, and tasks were still urgent at present.

I found a high ground and climbed up. From here I had an unobstructed view of the camp below.

A dilapidated wooden house, a pitted ground, and a stone altar located in the center of the square. It seemed to be used to perform some kind of bloody ritual. The stone platform was soaked in dark red blood, and the bones of deformed humanoid creatures were on it. A circle formed around them, filled with the smell of blood and evil.

Fujiwara Fubuki exclaimed, his eyes showing horror.

Xia Yu was also shocked. In his memory, there were no such bones or altars in the camp. Could it be that they were harmonized later?

Maybe it’s because of the timeline.

Xia Yu calmed down, observed for a while, and soon came up with a plan.

"Mechanic, you cover us here, Fuxue, Yilis, you two go down with me and meet us at the edge of the jungle. Ergouzi sneaks in with me to see if we can find King Wa first. It's best to get him first. Rescue him and try to avoid conflicts until he finds the person. Is there any problem?"

Several people said there was no problem, but Fujiwara Fubuki raised his hand hesitantly, "Captain, I have a bad feeling. Something doesn't feel right here. I don't know how to explain it, but I always feel Better get out of here."

Xia Yu nodded, "It should be due to professional characteristics. It is easier for shamans to sense ghosts, gods and other things, but there is no need to be afraid. Even if there are real ghosts, don't be afraid. They will be killed with one knife."

Ergouzi also said: "Yes, Fubuki, you don't have to be afraid. Those bones and other things are used to increase the atmosphere of the game. It's not a big deal. You don't need to go in with us, just be responsible for supporting the outside."

Fujiwara Fubuki looked anxious, but seeing that none of the three boys took it seriously, he could only nod his head, "Okay, then be careful."

"Okay, let's start taking action."

Xia Yu waved his hand and led the three of them down.

The mechanic found a stone and set up the gun directly. It was only a hundred or two hundred meters away from the camp. This accurately calibrated rifle should be able to provide effective support.

A group of four people went down the hill and came to the edge of the camp. Chuixue and Yilis stayed behind, while Xia Yu and Er Gouzi sneaked towards the camp.

As soon as I left the jungle, I saw several Naga guards. These two-meter-tall monsters had a humanoid upper body and a snake-like lower body. They were covered with fine scales and had fins behind them. They looked slightly scary.

They gathered in groups of three and five, surrounding the waterholes, and were eating. The waterholes were full of a feast of various sea fish, crabs, shrimps, and shellfish. These seafood were very vigorous, and there were no After any cooking, those Nagas were taken directly from the water and stuffed into their mouths. They chewed them with sharp fangs and swallowed them with the shells and fish bones, which made people feel a bit toothache just looking at them.

Ergouzi pointed to the longhouse over there.

"Is he locked up in that long house over there?"

"No, there is a BOSS living there, Dr. Weiweier, and many of his subordinates, who are very tough, so it's best not to mess with him. King Wa should be locked up in the dungeon, guarded by a Naga BOSS called King of Tides or something like that. Let's go , let’s go in.”

The entrance to the dungeon was in the open space between the altar and the longhouse. It was a diagonally downward passage. It was dark. When the two of them walked forward, they found that the entrance was sealed by an iron fence. However, it was difficult to find this. Xia Yu couldn't help but walked around the naga twice, and soon found the one with the key. He went up and searched, and got the key.

The Nagas were still eating and didn't notice at all.

The two came to the cell door. Xia Yu was about to open the door when Ergouzi behind him suddenly bit Xia Yu's trouser leg and pulled it.

Xia Yu turned around and looked at him strangely, and whispered, "What do you want to do?"

Ergouzi asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Open the door."

"You're stupid!" Ergouzi raised his paw and pointed at the Nagas around him. Xia Yu immediately reacted. Monsters in the game are no threat as long as they don't enter the warning range, but these Nagas in front of him are not monsters in the game. , if Xia Yu really uses the key to open the door, the sound of opening the door will most likely attract the surrounding Nagas. Nagas are not blind. They will turn a blind eye when they see the dungeons opening out of thin air?

Xia Yu felt a little ashamed, but fortunately he didn't take action. Playing too many games is not always a good thing, as it has formed a habit of thinking.

How can I get in without opening the door? After thinking about it, an idea came to his mind. Shadow Step can teleport. In theory, teleportation can be done anywhere there is darkness or shadow.

It's pitch dark in this dungeon, so I should be able to sneak in.

"Wait for me here. I'll go in first to see if King Wa is there."

Xia Yu said with a shadow step and instantly appeared inside the iron gate.

The environment in the dungeon was not much different from what Xia Yu remembered, except that the scale of the dungeon was obviously much larger. Almost every cell in the surrounding cells contained people, some alive and some dead. , and more of them are half-dead. Through the iron door of the cell, you can see that the prisoners are either emaciated, or have demented faces like walking zombies, or they are holding their heads and saying weird and inexplicable crazy words. Nonsense, you can still see bones and skeletons in some cells. Obviously the guards here don't care about the lives of these prisoners at all.

He didn't know what these Nagas were doing by locking these prisoners here. Xia Yu was a little worried. The atmosphere here made him feel very uncomfortable. The corruption in the air and the fishy smell of the sea aggravated this uneasiness. He said to himself that he should find someone quickly.

Sneaking towards the depths of the dungeon, the surroundings became darker and darker, and gradually there was no trace of light. He relied on the thief's dark vision to barely see. When he passed by the cell door, he suddenly saw something from the iron bars. A hand stretched out from the gap and grabbed his arm.

Xia Yu was startled. The hand was surprisingly strong. He struggled to break away and took a few steps back. He didn't stop until his back hit the wall. He was horrified. He was clearly in stealth mode. How could the other party see him? ?

When he looked again, the hand in the iron bars had retracted, and there was only darkness behind the iron bars.

"Don't listen to that voice!"

A voice rang in his ears, and Xia Yu's hair stood on end. When he turned around, he saw a face covered with scales pressed against the iron railing behind him, with blood-red eyes shining with crazy colors, staring at Xia Yu with skeletal eyes. .

monster!

Xia Yu was so frightened that he almost slashed at the man with his sword. When the blade was pressed against the man's forehead, he realized that it was a man, but his appearance was a bit strange. His body was still in the shape of a human, but he was kneeling on the ground with rickets and long hair on his skin. Many scales appeared, the fingers became slender and sharp, and there were webbed mucous membranes between the fingers. The eyes also became obviously weird. If you look closely, you can see that there are biological organs like gills growing on his face.

"Don't listen to that voice, don't listen to that voice!" The man kept repeating the same sentence. As he spoke, his eyes gradually became blurred, his voice became blurred, and he gradually became silent.

At this time, a sound of scales rubbing against the ground came from the darkness ahead. Xia Yu hurriedly entered the stealth state again and pulled out both knives. Only then did he feel a sense of security.

He clung to the wall and watched a Naga guard pass by, his long tail leaving winding traces on the muddy ground. He didn't dare to breathe, because a backstab could kill the opponent in seconds. At this time, he was afraid of being discovered by the other party.

After finally waiting for the guard to go away, he breathed a sigh of relief, mustered up the courage, and groped into the darkness again.

Along the way, I saw a lot of Naga guards patrolling around, but the number of prisoners gradually decreased. The ground went lower and lower, and the surrounding area began to become damp. The prison was seriously leaking, and some places were even flooded by sea water. .

Xia Yu circled twice, but his eyes turned into a stone wall, and it seemed that there was no way out.

But Xia Yu knew what was going on. He remembered that there was a passage that required diving. He searched on the water-filled ground and found a puddle that collapsed downwards.

He stood in front of the puddle and looked around. He didn't know where the dark water was leading. It was bottomless, as if it was leading to an unknown abyss. The strange man's voice just now was still in his ears, "Don't listen to that voice." , although he didn’t know what he was referring to, but the fear in the man’s voice made him very uneasy.

For the first time, I retreated in my heart.

But he knew that he couldn't retreat. The players were counting on him to win the game. The Travelers were in last place. If they gave up rescuing people, their plans over the past few days would be in vain. He didn't want to lose the game. .

It's just a game! It's just a game! It's just a game! He recited it silently three times in his mind, took a breath, and plunged into the deep pool.
