Views:

At the bottom of the dark abyss, on the shore of a deep underground lake, several people were gathered around a bonfire.

"Ahem! Witch, what kind of fuel are you? You can even burn branches soaked in water... Ahem! It's just that the smoke is a bit big..."

A man in a Taoist robe was covering his nose and mouth, and was choked with smoke coughing.

"Stupid! Sit down in the wind, that's your own choke!"

Another man said lazily: "I think you are a very smart person..."

These two people are Wei Zede and Li Daoyi who have fallen into the abyss, and the two people who are in a coma are the targets that need to be protected in this mission scene-Liu Kai'an, Liu Ru and his daughter.

At this time, Li Daoyi was muttering to stand up from the other side of the bonfire, came to Weizede's side, and sat down in surprise.

"This damn wind! Waiting for me to go out..."

Speaking of this, Li Daoyi, who was complaining, suddenly asked: "Witch, do you think we can still complete the task?"

Tightening the clothes that were put on again, that had just been dried, Weizard shook his head slowly.

"It's hard to say!"

Weize German said gravely: "This mission can be said to be startling from the very beginning!"

"Now, the second link of our main mission hasn't been completed, and the rescue team has fallen apart... To be honest, it is fortunate for the two of us to meet Liu Ru here!"

Just as the two exchanged greetings, the "Woo" wind sounded again.

"Hmph! The wind has changed again... it blows out for a while, then it blows in! It's quite regular..."

Li Daoyi listened to the wind and continued to grumble.

After hearing Li Daoyi's words, the inspiration in Weizede's heart suddenly flashed, and some scattered memory images were quickly assembled together.

"The law of the wind... The time interval is the same... The direction of the wind is opposite... No way! Could this wind be..."

Weizard, who came to the inference, only felt a burst of suffocation in his heart!

"The wizard? The wizard!"

Li Daoyi looked at Weizede who was pale, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"This wind... This wind is not wind! It's not wind..."

While talking, Weizard took out the ancient book again and looked through it.

"What's the matter? Why do you only talk half way?"

Through the ancient books, Wei Zede confirmed his inference. He sighed with a deep heart, and recites "Xiaoyaoyou" written by Zhuangzi: "There are fish in the North Ming, and their name is Kun. Kun is so big, I don't know it. Thousands of miles. Transformed into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng’s back, I don’t know its thousands of miles. It flies in anger, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky..."

Listening to "Xiaoyaoyou", Li Dao narrowed his eyes and thought.

After a long time, he suddenly changed his expression and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Seven Star Panlong Locking Demon Array... "Easy Travel"... Kun... Kunpeng?"

Seeing Weizard nodded, Li Daoyi raised his voice in disbelief, and asked almost every word: "What do you mean... Under this abyss, there is a legendary Kunpeng suppressed?"

"... And the regular gust of wind that appears in this underground space is just this Kunpeng's breathing?"

"I... I should be dreaming, right?"

Li Daoyi muttered a few words, then stopped speaking.

At this moment, Liu Ru, lying on the ground, let out a weak cry. Perhaps it was the father and daughter's heart, Professor Liu Kai'an also coughed a few times.

"Huh? Are you all awake?"

"Xiaoning? Dad! Why are you two here?"

Rubbing his eyes, Liu Ru asked in surprise, "I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"of course not!"

Excited exclamations of joy sounded in the cold underground abyss.

Liu Kaian, Liu Ru and his daughter who survived the catastrophe cried and laughed, and it took a long time for their excitement to calm down.

In order to change the subject, Weizard asked, "Liu Ru, where are the other players in your team? Are they separated from you?"

Unexpectedly, after Liu Ru heard the question, her eye circles immediately turned red.

"They are all dead! To protect my captain, everyone is dead! Xiao Zhi, Xiao Gao, Da Zhuang... They are all dead! Uuu..."

Following Liu Ru's voice, the system that hadn't been seen for a long time popped out in Weizard's vision.

[Main task: 2. Enter the secret cave and search for the lost archeological team members. It has been completed. 】

【The task log is being updated...】

[Main task: 3. Reach the Lost City; during the task, the player must ensure the personal safety of Professor Liu Kai'an and Captain Liu Ru, otherwise the task will fail. 】

"Girl Liu, don't cry!"

Professor Liu Kaian comforted and said: "Let's hurry up and find other comrades who survived..."

"Um!"

Touching a tear, Liu Ru, with a sad look, said firmly: "In order to fulfill everyone's last wish, I must complete this scientific expedition!"

As a result, Weizard and his party of four went back on the road after packing up.

Under the illumination of the "Wolf's Eye" flashlight, several people walked in the abyss, where weird rocks are lined with overlapping wonders, and people have to sigh the wonders of nature.

In order to maintain physical strength and to take care of the elderly Professor Liu Kai'an, Wei Zede and others stopped and went.

"Oops!"

With Li Daoyi's exclaim, he suddenly disappeared.

Weizard and several people hurriedly leaned forward, and under the shining of the flashlight, a dark "crypt" appeared in the place where Li Daoyi disappeared.

"Taoist priest!"

"Comrade Li? How are you?"

Without much effort, Li Daoyi's voice came from the "crypt".

"I'm fine! But there is an artificial passage below, shall we go in and take a look?"

Weizard looked at Liu Kai'an, then at Liu Ru, and asked aloud: "Liu Ru, you are the captain of the archeological team, you are up to your mind!"

"It's not a way for us to go on purposelessly like this..."

Liu Ru thought for a while and replied, "Since there are discoveries here, let's go down and take a look!"

"I didn't expect that there would be artificial buildings under this abyss!"

Li Dao, who was walking in the underground passage, looked around, "I don't know how the ancients got down? Tsk tsk, this project can't be completed in a short time..."
