Abnormal paradise

A fair deal allowed Ember and the Mimic to each get what they needed. Considering that the current situation did not allow him to fight with a two-star legend, they gave up the robbery and instead pursued a long-lasting relationship. Both parties waved to each other and forgot about each other.

Yi Yan picked up the abnormal equipment exchange coupons and continued to sweat profusely in the mine. Practice has proved that the world of the mine is indeed full of dangers. In addition to the visible dangers coming one after another, there are also many invisible dangers lurking secretly.

Just when the embers had just passed through the "surface layer" and entered the "shallow layer", the good mine tunnel actually collapsed...

Boom!

Countless sand and stones fell suddenly. Although there had been slight signs before, it was as fast as the overturning of a mountain. It still made the "unidentified" ember extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, the super-high-level power blessing greatly strengthened the charging effect. , this helped him forcefully escape. In addition, the protective effect of the headlamp helmet on the head also played a key role. If he was stunned by a falling rock, he would definitely die and be buried by the sand waterfall from the mine.

"Ahem, cough...could a mining accident happen in this damn place?"

Ember slapped the dust on his body and couldn't help but complain, but then he discovered that the mining disaster was actually not that bad.

Although five blocks of space were blocked by sand and gravel, Yi Yan used the double vision of the safety helmet to see the "natural" mine tunnel caused by the collapse at the edge. Although the extension direction was slightly away from the position of the opera house, it was in line with the location of the opera house. The conch coordinates moved closer. Worried about the remnants of the mining disaster, they simply changed the direction of the excavation to connect with it. As a result, they found a third-order fragment of an abnormal alloy nearby, which barely soothed the thrill of the sudden mining disaster.

Afterwards, Ember moved towards the Shadow Lady's opera house at full speed. At the same time, Lanftaili also spared no effort to complete the sprint.

As a player who later became the Dark Veil Messenger, the biggest advantage of Sparrow Tail over Ember is that he has a giant standing behind him. He can not only easily have information advantages, but also enjoy guild supplies at all times. Just talk about the resource reserves in his backpack. , Holding the Sparrow's Tail is obviously richer than Ember.

A high-explosive grenade with an inducing effect made the Shadow Eaters, who were baring their teeth and claws, choose to give up the siege and grab the bird's tail, and instead pounced on the cold object that could knock off their fangs, and then died in the blazing flames as expected.

"There are three left."

Lan Quewei thought silently in his mind, holding a shotgun that spit out flames and continuously killing targets with low health.

At least so far, the Shadow Devouring Insects dispatched in swarms have not brought him unbearable combat pressure. This is because the Sanren Alliance has a life player who is proficient in grenade modification and can produce many high-explosive grenades with different effects. Previously [ The freezing grenade used by Biao Xue was also made by this person, and Biao Xue, who left a deep impression on Ember, is also a member of the Sanren Alliance.

Relying on the control effect of the grenade, Lanfang Tail can not only ensure his own safety, but also maintain the propulsion speed at a certain level. However, the closer he gets to the Shadow Lady's opera house, the harder it is for him to calm down. For five seconds, He felt anxious during the excavation time and sighed helplessly at the dead-end traps that often appeared. In his current state, if the mine tunnel collapsed, he would most likely be trapped in it, but Huan Yan was not the only one with the lucky bonus.

Until the Opera House with the Shadow Lady appeared in his field of vision, Lantiao Tail did not encounter any serious emergencies. The endless stream of shadow-eating insects did not slow down his pace due to the wild bombardment of high-explosive grenades. This gave Lan Quewei great confidence in getting there first. Although the resources in the backpack were enough to support two or three copies and were completely exhausted, for Lan Quewei, as long as he could surpass the embers, he could meet the Shadow Lady first. , it’s worth it.

[Tip: You have found the "Shadow Lady's Opera House", where you can submit the "Adventure Diary" in exchange for corresponding rewards. 】

call!

Finally arrived!

Lan Quewei breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped into a fantasy space. The three-meter-square dark mine before always gave people a sense of depression. This time, he suddenly appeared in the extremely wide and solemn theater hall. Lan Quewei was relieved of his depression and became more confident. What excited him the most was that the shadow lady on the stage was sitting alone in front of the piano, with no Ember around her. This made Lanquewei wave his hands fiercely. Clenching the edge of his fist, he smiled secretly: "It seems that I was worried in vain before. Ember is not as strong as I thought!"

Walking quickly to the stage, facing the shadow lady with a cold temperament, Lan Quewei tried hard to suppress the surging emotions, but suddenly solidified in the depths of his heart because of the other person's words.

"You are late."

…

After the mining disaster, all dead end traps seemed to have disappeared, leaving Ember to concentrate on dealing with the endless stream of Shadow Eater Insects. In order to ensure the speed of advancement, he spent a lot of money to tear up two summoning cards and borrowed the human sea tactic. Combat pressure is further reduced.

The killing methods of the three mantis leaders prevented Ember from taking action for a long time. It was not until the quantity and quality of the Shadow Eaters behind him forced him to take action that he stopped wielding the mining pick and transformed into a pyromaniac. The explosion of soft bombs will quickly clear the threat.

Without a fortune as rich as that of Lan Quewei, Yan Yan could only pursue "making the best use of everything", instructing the three mantis leaders to divert the shadow-eating insects, thus helping him effectively utilize the group attack effect of the incarnation ability. When the Shadow-Eating Insect once again exceeded the limit of the Mantis leader's containment, he immediately activated the Demonic Incarnation, and once again completed the clearing with the burning blood explosion of the Corpse Poison Plague, so that the threat from the Shadow-Eating Insect could no longer affect him. Move forward, succeed in catching the sparrow's tail, and step into the opera house of the Shadow Lady.

Clang, clang, clang!

Clang, clang, clang!

I don't know how many times I heard this familiar melody. Ember couldn't help but guess that Ms. Shadow seemed to have a special liking for "Symphony of Destiny".

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Hearing Ms. Shadow's cold voice ringing in his ears, Yi Yan immediately saw the elegant figure on the empty stage slowly stand up, and said to him calmly across the audience: "Your last breach of trust made me a little disappointed. Although your The final answer exceeded my expectations.”

"I couldn't help myself!" Yi Jin shrugged, "I just wanted to help, but ended up getting involved in a high-level struggle inexplicably."

"That's why I decided to give you another chance. Fortunately, you didn't let me down again. Although I have a lot of followers under my command recently, you are still the only collaborator."

[Tip: You stepped into the "Opera House" first and completed the instructions of the Shadow Lady, which brought the relationship between the two parties back on track. You can continue to receive exclusive tasks from the Shadow Lady in the future. 】

Exclusive mission!

The reason why Yan Yan hurriedly rushed to meet the Shadow Lady as quickly as possible was because the exclusive task of his second immediate boss would allow him to gain huge benefits. Regarding this, Yi Yan couldn't help but smile, thinking that he would have to behave well in the future to avoid letting this living cornucopia in front of him suddenly fly into other people's arms.

But somehow, the shadow lady looked through the black veil and suddenly looked at Ember: "You came a little early."

"What? Didn't you ask me to come first?" Yi Yan was stunned, confused.

"I mean, it's better to come to my place after completing the hidden mission." Ms. Shadow paused, and found that Yi Yan's eyes were helpless, and immediately changed her words, "Forget it, I asked you to see me as soon as possible, I shouldn't be too harsh on you. Harsh, if that’s the case, I’ll go with you.”

"No, what do you mean?"

The more Ember listened, the more confused he became. Is there something else that matters about the order of completing the hidden mission and arriving at the opera house?

"Don't you think this opera house is too deserted?" Ms. Shadow asked without answering.

"It's deserted enough." Yi Yan nodded. There was only one piano and one performer in the huge opera house, and there was no audience in the audience. If Ms. Shadow hadn't said anything, he would have thought it was arranged this way on purpose.

"Actually, this opera house is transformed from the White House. Don't be surprised. After I refine the White House, I can decide its display form at will. The more instruments and players here, the better the opera house will be. The greater the power provided to me, and how much the instruments and players can fill it will largely depend on how many hidden tasks you fire seeds can complete."

Ms. Shadow's explanation made Ember suddenly wake up, but he couldn't help but ask: "If the fire seeds cannot be brought back this time, will the Opera House remain empty?"

Only after a complete trip can you appreciate the difficulty of completing the hidden mission. Not to mention anything else, not many people can meet the activation conditions of the sacrifice circle.

"Of course not. If I want, I can manifest a grand orchestra at any time, but I would rather use the battle between light and darkness to get a share of the fairy tale world." Ms. Shadow chuckled softly, "The White House is actually somewhere These aspects are related to the fairy tale world, and the salary king happened to decide to participate in the cooperation and let many fairy tale creatures give gifts, so I plan to borrow your hands to further strengthen the opera house."

"Oh~! Feelings are like shedding wool!" Yan Yan said in a long voice. He caught a glimpse of the sudden coldness in Ms. Shadow's eyes and hurriedly restrained her understanding smile.

"Every time you complete a hidden task and reveal a fairy tale, you can create a performer here. Of course, you can also get certain benefits."

Ms. Shadow glared at Ember: "As for what the specific benefits are, I suddenly am not in the mood to talk about it. Anyway, you will know it yourself later."

"..."

Yan Yan bared his teeth and muttered in his mind that he hadn't seen him for a few days. Why had his boss become so petty?

After all the fun, Lady Shadow still decided to leave a shadow clone to sit in the opera house, and she personally accompanied Ember to search for the other half of the conch, which shows how seriously she takes the hidden mission.

Thanks to the powerful influence of the Shadow Lady, the roadblocks and traps, not to mention the Shadow Eaters, disappeared without a trace. The journey was smooth and easy, and the durability of Ember's mining pick was increased. Some.

Although he could understand the urgent mood of his immediate boss, Yu Yan would not let go of this great opportunity. He kept using his double vision to search for various props left in the mine, and he actually found a good thing. .

…

【Gold Digging Stone】

Type: Strange Object

Introduction: The special metals that were born in the gold mining "mines" are very precious.

[Tip: This item is a rare product of "Gold Rush Town" and only exists in the "shallow layer" and the mine space below the shallow layer. You can use it to exchange for many rewards including exchange coupons from the foundation. 】

…

Playing with the warm gold mining stone, Yi Yan ignored Ms. Shadow's slight frown and asked in a very unsightly manner: "Madam, does Gold Rush Town really exist, or is it just a derivative of the TV picture?"

"No, Gold Rush Town does exist, but no one knows where it is."

Seeing the embers and not forgetting to wield the mining pick, the shadow lady replied patiently: "It is said that items that cannot be destroyed in the mystery of reincarnation and the end of the world will be gathered into a special plane in the dark sky, and that place is called [ Gold Rush Town], many people dream of finding a gold rush town and grabbing endless wealth alone. Walter White is one of them, but no one has ever succeeded. Therefore, the gold rush town you see outside is actually just the designer. It’s just an imagination, and even all the performances in the mine scene are just to test you.”

"Then this gold mining stone..."

"Of course it's fake. Anyway, its only purpose is to exchange for rewards. Even if you take a piece of scrap metal, you can name it 'Gold Digging Stone'."

"..."

Ember was left speechless by Lady Shadow's frankness, but he couldn't help but wonder in his mind, when and how Gold Rush Town would meet the players? This kind of important scene that can appear in two important dungeons and has legendary characteristics will logically surface as the players gradually improve. This makes Ember want to know whether there is also a real gold rush town. Is there a Mad Hatter Jack in a pub?

Getting back to the subject, although Ember had some occasional gains along the way, there was nothing worth writing about. He soon arrived near the coordinates where the conch was hidden.

"Much smoother than expected."

Yi Yan smiled slightly, and immediately swung his pickaxe to knock open the last blocking stone in front of his destination. However, what he didn't expect was that what appeared in front of him was not the other half of the conch at all, but a tombstone, and on the tombstone It is written clearly——

Nina's Tomb!

"What's going on? Nina is dead? No, even if she had died long ago, she shouldn't have died here..."

Ember frowned deeply, but felt that the appearance of Nina's Tomb in the mine world was in line with the previous plot development. After all, Nina broke into the gold rush town a long time ago, and he followed her all the way. The whereabouts and trajectory have led to this point.

However, with Nina's special status, living is more in line with the character setting, even if she is just a gray-haired dying old woman now, holding the other half of the conch as a companion in loneliness, just waiting for the player holding the other half of the conch Come and tell him the fairy tale that became a tragedy. Even if he dies with a smile at that time, it would be better than such an unreasonable death.

It was such an abrupt imaginative impact that Yu Yan couldn't understand it.

"Nina is indeed dead." The shadow lady's dark eyes were like an ancient well.

"I shouldn't be surprised by this." Ember shrugged, reluctantly allowing himself to accept this unsatisfactory ending.

"No, I mean, Nina's death was actually earlier than you think."

Facing Ms. Shadow's cold words, Ember couldn't help but ask: "Earlier than I imagined? What do you mean? Could it be that she died in Gold Rush Town very early?"

Hearing this, Ms. Shadow shook her head, and with a wave of her fingertips, the game animation at the beginning of the copy was reproduced. She pointed at Nina running towards the TV secret door, and said inexplicably: "Do you think... Nina really ran away?" Have you arrived in Gold Rush Town?”
