This was the first time Yang Yu had seen such a task.
The entire task was displayed with a row of question marks. The border of the task was not obvious and was a dull black iron color.
But this color is not the color that should be used for this task.
According to Yang Yu's speculation, the appearance of this task will most likely be gradually upgraded as the clues are collected, from black iron to bronze, from bronze to silver, and finally into the king's color that he has never seen before.
If you can complete that mission, the reward will probably be even more generous than the source-defending missions.
However, high-paying missions often come with extremely high risks.
For example, in the hidden mission [The Ancient Hero Laux], the reward will be higher for each underground maze built by the hero Laux. However, each underground maze left by the hero Laux is extremely difficult. If Yang Yu follows the regular strategy, it is impossible for him to conquer any of them.
This task is estimated to be very difficult, and may even be related to the main storyline.
Just from the perspective of collecting clues, it is quite difficult.
The bat fluttered a few times and then completely disappeared. No information could be obtained from it.
In the game process, collecting clues is also the most tedious process.
Because we don’t know where the clues are, we can only collect them by constantly talking to others, conducting a thorough search, and trying various decryption methods.
So far we have only eradicated a bat that came from somewhere unknown, and God knows where the relevant clues are.
Iyas seems to be able to sense the dark energy of the bat, and with her help, we may be able to find a lot of clues.
but
It’s hard to describe Iyas now.
After closing the task panel, Yang Yu issued the next instruction with a serious expression.
"Get ready, we're going to the last floor."
Slowly loosening the string, Iyas put the arrow into the quiver, her eyes never leaving Yang Yu. She bit her lips lightly, did not ask anything, and followed Yang Yu silently.
Going down the winding stairs, the white spider webs in the corners and the faint light coming from the walls set off the gloomy atmosphere of the underground maze.
Stepping over a spider web on the ground where there was no spider, Yang Yu asked Bai Jin and Iyas to stay away from him so that if they encountered any danger, he could notify them immediately to leave quickly. Then Yang Yu walked down the last step.
The view ahead suddenly opened up, and a large circular arena appeared in front of Yang Yu. The floor of the arena was made of brown stones with words engraved on them.
There were no signs of a fight in the arena, and there were no people or monsters there. It was completely empty.
Yang Yu gently threw a stone into the room. The stone bounced on the complex ground, making crackling sounds that echoed in the empty room.
The stone jumped to the center, swayed and stopped, and the surroundings fell into silence again, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Yang Yu looked at Iyas who was standing aside. "Iyas, you are very sensitive to darkness. Don't you feel anything?"
Finally finding an opportunity to talk to Yang Yu, Iyas pursed her lips and said, "No, and I was the one who found the bat just now, why didn't you ask me to take action, but asked Bai Jin to do it instead?"
"It doesn't have any special meaning. It's just that at that time, the first person I thought of was Bai Jin, so I asked her to do that."
After perfunctorily answering Iyas, Yang Yu reminded them again. After he told them that they could come in and out, Yang Yu carefully walked into the last floor of the underground maze.
At the entrance to the last level of the underground maze, there is a huge silver door that is more than five meters high. There are no fancy decorations on the door, only black lines.
These black lines intertwine with each other and converge into a groove in the middle of the door, which looks very much like a phylogenetic tree in biology.
And around this "phylogenetic tree" that looks like a round cell, there is a circle composed of raised white strips, as if this "phylogenetic tree" is radiating light.
Outside this phylogenetic tree, there is a small ball of light that stands alone. It is a circle composed entirely of white protrusions.
These two things, one big and one small, are like the earth revolving around the sun.
Yang Yu couldn't figure out the meaning of these two things at all, but he felt that the person who made this maze would not make such a boring design, so he kept this strange design in mind in case he needed it in the future.
The center of this door is undoubtedly the place where the gem is stuffed in Yang Yu's hand.
As long as he places the [Goblin God's Hand] in that place, the final boss behind the door will appear in front of Yang Yu. At that time, Yang Yu can complete the hidden mission he has been dreaming about and inherit the legacy left by the Goblin King.
Unfortunately, the setting hole is three meters high, so it takes some effort to place the gem perfectly there.
But now is not the time to think about this.
Yang Yu walked to the center, kicked away the small stone he had thrown in, and waved to Iyas and Bai Jin outside the door. Only then did Iyas and Bai Jin dare to walk in with peace of mind.
"We haven't seen any of them yet. I can't believe we made such a wasted trip. What should we do now?"
Iyas walked to the center with an unhappy face and joined Yang Yu, but before she could finish her words, Yang Yu pushed Iyas and Bai Jin away at the same time and shouted:
"Prepare for battle! The enemy is right above us!"
What
Iyas took advantage of the situation and rolled sideways, took out the bow and arrow, put the string on it, Bai Jin chanted magic, weaved a magic shield to mitigate the impact, and landed steadily on the ground.
They all looked at Yang Yu at the same time, and saw three silver spears attacking Yang Yu.
Thanks to his nimble body, Yang Yu dodged the attacks of two of the spears, but one spear went straight in and cut Yang Yu's right waist.
Blood instantly bloomed like flowers, dyeing Yang Yu's clothes red.
If Yang Yu didn't have to push away Iyas and Bai Jin, he would have a 100% chance of dodging all attacks.
But the guy above his head was very calm. If Iyas and Bai Jin had not entered this space, they would not have been able to launch an attack, and they would not even have shown up.
Only by letting Iyas and Bai Jin step into danger with him, can Yang Yu know what exactly happened in this underground maze.
Yang Yu took out a bottle of medicine and poured it into his mouth, then looked at the ceiling.
At the top of this space, silvery-white threads are stretched out radially, weaving into a huge network that resembles a five-pointed star.
It looked like some kind of decoration, but the sharp-eyed Yang Yu recognized at a glance that it was not a simple decoration, but the nest of a giant spider.
The owner of this nest was staring at them with eager eyes, and seemed not to welcome these uninvited guests.
