After killing the Wind and Fire Protectors, four teammates must die. It seems cruel, but this is the rule of the game and no one can change it.
Lin Feng even wondered whether the number of people who had to kill the Wind and Fire Guardians in this tomb was determined by a certain ratio of the number of people entering the tomb. If so, the ratio would be three to one, and a PVE team of three hundred people would only have one hundred people left in the end.
Among these one hundred people, the tank, healer and output professions may not be so balanced, which will increase the difficulty of fighting against the first BOSS.
If there are too many healers and meat shields, the damage to the BOSS will not be enough. When there are insufficient meat shields and healers, the team will be as thin as paper in front of the BOSS and will be vulnerable.
This is why the largest guild of the human race, the Pantheon, couldn't even defeat this BOSS.
After dealing with the Wind and Fire Puppet Guardian, the stone door of the next tomb slowly opened. At the same time, Lin Feng and the runaway Xiaoqiang received another system prompt.
—System Tips—: Use 1,000 gold coins to trigger the rock mechanism puppet in the secret chamber tomb. After defeating the mechanism puppet, you will be qualified to enter Tomb No. 1.
"My goodness, this is much more expensive than the admission fee to the scenic spot." The runaway Xiaoqiang couldn't help but sigh. This one thousand gold is a considerable asset in the game, and it is also sufficient even if it is converted into real money. Naturally, it is much more expensive than the ticket to the scenic spot in reality.
"This one has interactive elements, so it's probably worth the money." Lin Feng could only think positively, but he estimated that if he didn't kill the puppet in the tomb, the money would be wasted.
"Can the two of us deal with this puppet? If not, how about we wait for the main force to come in and then take action?" The furious Xiaoqiang was unsure.
"For this kind of large-scale dungeon with no limit on the number of players, the strength of the monsters is probably determined by the level and number of players. The more people and the higher the level, the stronger the monsters. In that case, you have confidence, but I don't."
"The key is that I'm short of money!" One thousand gold is a huge sum of money for the runaway Xiaoqiang. He has only saved more than a hundred gold in his pocket now. How can he afford this amount of admission fee
"I have it. Don't tell Ranran and the others. This is my private money, which I keep for emergencies. I didn't expect that I would actually use it!" Lin Feng had killed a large number of monsters in the world of the God-Slaying Cauldron and made money through the hidden attributes of the dagger Seven Kills. He has accumulated a lot of wealth. Although it was painful to pay one thousand gold, there was no pressure.
"How can you have so much private money? Then you can be responsible for inserting the coins, and I will just be a bystander in this process!" The runaway Xiaoqiang will save as much as he can and is not going to pretend to be rich.
Lin Feng found that this tomb was like a room, about five or six meters high, with an area of about one or two hundred square meters, and a regular rectangular shape. In the center of the entire tomb, there was a piece of ground that seemed a little concave, and that was where the coin was inserted to trigger the puppet's mechanism.
"How do I defeat this rock puppet?" The runaway Xiaoqiang logged into the forum in the game but found nothing. It seems that the major guilds have not revealed the specific methods of beating the copy of General Hayares's Cursed Tomb in order to make progress in the copy. The information released is just some players' speculation.
"Since it is a rock mechanism puppet, that method should be feasible. You just need to follow my instructions!" Lin Feng responded confidently.
The violent Xiaoqiang nodded, and then asked Lin Feng: "Are you ready?"
"Do you think I'm someone who needs to prepare? Just be ready!" Lin Feng did not forget to make a joke to ease the tense atmosphere.
"I'm fine!" The runaway Xiaoqiang took a deep breath, waiting for the showdown with the puppet later.
"Then I will start triggering the mechanism. Even if you are afraid, you can't retreat. It's still time to commit suicide now. The rock mechanism puppet is not indestructible as you say. I don't know if my plan will work." Lin Feng said jokingly.
"Don't worry, it's no big deal if I die. I'm going to die anyway, and I don't want to commit suicide and let you ride alone for thousands of miles!" The violent Xiaoqiang knew how powerful Lin Feng was. If he didn't hug him now, when would he hug him? Even if he was asked to commit suicide, he wouldn't do it, let alone he gave up his life voluntarily.
"Then let's get started!"
Lin Feng opened the package and threw 1,000 gold coins into the concave position. The whole process made Lin Feng feel relaxed and happy. Usually, the money in the package was just a number, but now he could see the gold coins one by one, which were real gold and silver. When the last gold coin slid into the groove, the groove began to react. The mechanism moved, and the 1,000 gold coins slid into an unknown place. Then the whole tomb creaked, as if a machine was running.
After more than ten seconds of silence, a rumbling sound came from the tomb again, as if there was an earthquake. Lin Feng found that a wall in the cave was gradually loosening, and a four-meter-high rock mechanical puppet broke away from the stone wall.
"How to deal with him?" Although the runaway Xiaoqiang was mentally prepared, he was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the rock mechanism puppet was so tall. One was enough for them to handle. He didn't know whether the number of these big rock mechanism puppets would increase as more people entered the tomb.
"I'll fly it as a kite, and you shoot it with burning arrows. One hundred arrows at first." Lin Feng estimated the health and size of the rock mechanical puppet and made arrangements.
The rock mechanism puppet, as soon as it was triggered by the mechanism, immediately locked onto the target in the tomb, and took a big step forward to chase after Lin Feng who was closer to him. Lin Feng quickly ran around in circles with the bulky rock mechanism puppet.
The runaway Xiaoqiang was not idle either. He quickly followed Lin Feng's instructions. The bowstring hummed, and one arrow after another shot a burning arrow at the rock mechanism puppet. Before long, the rock mechanism puppet was completely enveloped in flames. It seemed to have evolved into a flame mechanism puppet.
"Change to freezing arrows, and shoot another hundred arrows, let it taste the difference between ice and fire!" Lin Feng commanded.
"Understood!" After receiving Lin Feng's instructions, the runaway Xiaoqiang changed the ice arrows he brought with him, and shot one arrow after another into the red-burning rock puppet. After dozens of arrows, Lin Feng and the runaway Xiaoqiang were surprised to find that the puppet had cracks on its body as expected. It can be seen that the thermal expansion and contraction still have a great effect, causing the thick-skinned rock puppet to be seriously injured.
But the freezing arrows had no effect when shot downwards again, as if they did not hit any vital parts. Although the rock mechanism puppet was seriously injured, it just couldn't fall down.
"It's not easy to deal with!" Lin Feng found that the effect of these freezing arrows was only so far. He had to hit the fatal point of the rock mechanism puppet to make it collapse.
"Xiao Qiang, shoot freezing arrows at my Seven Kills Dagger!" Lin Feng suddenly had an idea. He threw the Seven Kills Dagger to the ground, letting the runaway Xiao Qiang shift his target and fire at the Seven Kills Dagger.
"What? Although I don't understand what you mean, can the dagger withstand it?" The runaway Xiaoqiang was confused by Lin Feng.
"You think this Seven Killings weapon is a knockoff, but mine is the legendary Nokia phone of the past, which can hammer nails and crack walnuts. Just attack it!" Lin Feng said.
"Yeah!" The runaway Xiaoqiang nodded and began to madly attack the Seven Killing Artifacts on the ground. The freezing arrows shot a layer of frost on the Seven Killing Artifacts.
"Okay, stop!" Lin Feng said, and then he flew forward and picked up the extremely cold Seven Kills Dagger with frost. Since Lin Feng's pain sensitivity was set to zero, Lin Feng did not feel any pain, but just felt his hands were a little numb and stiff.
After picking up the dagger, he turned around and faced the rock mechanical puppet. He dodged the attack of the puppet's arm, pointed the tip of the Seven Kills Dagger at the puppet's chest, and stabbed it hard.
The knife happened to pierce the crack, and the rock puppet was pierced through. Then, several cracks appeared from the pierced edge, and Lin Feng quickly pulled out the dagger and dodged. There was a bang behind him, and the rock puppet that was pierced by the cold dagger actually exploded and turned into a pile of broken stones, and died.
"Finally succeeded!" Both of them breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the rich experience and monetary rewards for killing the puppet.
There was a noise from the other side of the tomb, and a heavy stone door slowly opened. On the other side of the stone door was the passage leading to the depths of the general's tomb.
—System prompt—: Kill the rock mechanism puppet and open the passage to Tomb Chamber No. 1.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy!" The runaway Xiaoqiang was in high spirits and was about to step into the passage behind the stone door. He didn't expect Lin Feng to come up with such a simple yet effective method. In the end, he stabbed the low-temperature Seven Kills Dagger into the body of the high-temperature rock mechanism puppet, which really injured the vital parts of the rock mechanism puppet and disintegrated instantly.
"Wait, wait!" Although Lin Feng was also excited, he knew from many movies and TV shows, or tomb-robbing novels, that the treasures in the ancient tombs were not so easy to steal. At the very least, there were many traps, and at the worst, there were forbidden areas with curses. If you were not careful, you might not get the treasure but your life would be gone.
"I'll go first to avoid danger." Lin Feng felt that it would be safer for him to lead the charge, because he had a mirror clone that could explore the way for him. It only had a skill, and he wouldn't feel bad even if he died.
Lin Feng and the runaway Xiaoqiang stopped in front of the passage and watched Lin Feng's mirror image clone walk in. He walked all the way to the end of the passage without any danger. It seemed that this passage was safe.
But just when he thought that this passage was safe, the heavy stone door in front of him slowly closed, and the walls of the passage were slowly squeezing towards the center of the passage. When the mirror clone reached the end of the passage, it was too late to return, and he was left in this tomb passage.
Lin Feng and the violent Xiao Qiang looked stunned and even a little scared. This was really thrilling and full of murderous intentions. If they went in rashly, they would probably have been squeezed into a photo.
Not long after, the stone door of the tomb opened again. Lin Feng and the runaway Xiaoqiang still did not dare to enter. After Lin Feng's mirror clone cooled down, he released the mirror clone again and let the clone continue to explore the way.
Unexpectedly, the result was exactly the same as before. The clone still walked to the end of the passage, let the stone door at the back close, and the walls of the passage squeezed towards the center, and everything inside became the rhythm of the photo.
Then it was time to wait for the cooling time, and the mirror clone entered the tomb passage for the third time, and the result was still a replay.
"Damn it, is this ever going to end?" said the furious Xiaoqiang angrily.
"Three times is enough. Try it again!" Lin Feng was almost losing his temper, but he still patiently repeated it once. This was the fourth time, but the result did not change at all.
"Shit, does that mean there's no way to get through no matter what? Then how did the Temple of the Gods Guild reach Tomb No. 1 and get slaughtered by BOSS No. 1?" The furious Xiaoqiang expressed his confusion.
"There will always be a way." Lin Feng thought calmly, carefully looking for clues at the stone gate at the entrance of the passage. Sure enough, he saw four incomprehensible ancient characters. If he didn't pay attention, he would have thought they were decorative patterns on the stone gate.
After asking the elf who was called out to help, I learned that these four words mean - a narrow escape from death.
"It's a narrow escape from death. Can dying nine times mean that I can get over it?" The furious Xiaoqiang asked in confusion.
"Haha, if I'm not mistaken, we should be able to pass through this tomb passage on the tenth time after nine times." Lin Feng guessed the way.
"Then I'll tell the large group outside to wait patiently!" The runaway Xiaoqiang felt that he would not be happy even if he cracked the clue on the stone gate. He had to let Lin Feng's mirror clone repeat the past story five times before he could pass.
"Captain Feng, are you so sure? Why don't you try it with the mirror clone for the tenth time and then we can pass it again?" The runaway Xiaoqiang thought that one more time wouldn't make a difference, so it would be better to be safe. Death would only cause more trouble, so he asked Lin Feng.
"The tenth time, only the two of us can enter in person. If we miss it, we'll have to repeat the 'nine deaths and one escape' all over again. Even if you can bear it, I'll collapse!" Lin Feng didn't want to spend all his time playing with the mirror clone.
After using nine mirror clones to explore the way, Lin Feng and the runaway Xiaoqiang finally entered this passage which was longer and smellier than an old lady's foot binding.
What is smelly is not the smell of the channel, but the mechanism of the channel. What is long is not the distance of the channel, but the time spent passing through the channel.
The so-called secret room behind the stone door is actually a passage. The walls and the ground of this passage are very flat and it is completely artificially excavated. In the two ditches at the base of the walls on both sides, the eternal lamps are burning endlessly, and the whole passage seems brightly lit.
Lin Feng and the runaway Xiaoqiang stepped into the brightly lit secret passage, only to find that the walls on both sides of the passage were engraved with battle scenes.
The army that led the Kingdom's Eastern Expedition was invincible, conquered the Beacon Fire Canyon at night, and fought desperately to capture the most solid watchtower of the Supreme Kingdom. However, in the end, General Hayares was cursed by the wizard and was buried in the underground tomb in the Hexi Plain... (To be continued)
