Pirate System

Chapter 483: Countdown

The fall continued for a while, and the longer it went, the greater the pressure coming from the darkness. Tang Ke and the other five strong men could still endure it, but the wreckage of the Strong Shield and the crew members on the ship could not. The wreckage turned into smaller fragments under the pressure, and even some metal objects were not spared and were severely distorted. The crew members were even more unlucky. They were all squeezed by invisible pressure until their orifices bled, and they died one after another.

Tang Ke and others fell faster, gradually throwing a large amount of wreckage and the bodies of the crew above their heads.

If you have to pass through this dark space every time you enter the Fountain of Death, this means that most of the people and things that break into the Fountain of Death will be destroyed here. Only people with the strength of Tang Ke and others can resist the all-pervasive pressure in the darkness.

The falling speed changed from slow to fast, and a propulsive force like a crashing wave came from above the heads of Tang Ke and others, pushing them downward rapidly. Several people gritted their teeth and persisted, resisting the pressure around them.

I don’t know how long it took, but the darkness finally came to an end, and a small white dot appeared below. The white dot grows from small to large, like an exit.

No one wants to be in this environment, and everyone is eager to leave here quickly and reach the deeper space of the Fountain of Death.

Tang Ke was determined to go down, but he didn't want to be the first person. As he was falling, he shouted to the alchemist No. 5 who was not far away: "Fly down and see if that is the exit."

No. 5 is simple-minded and in a daze, he regards this as an order that must be completed. It saluted Tang Ke, shook its arms, and spurted out a ball of flame from the bottom of the jar it carried behind it, accelerating downwards and falling.

Tang Ke whistled, feeling a little more favorable towards this dull-witted guy.

Sea Dragon Knight Ada, who was traveling with No. 5, was very dissatisfied with Tang Ke's bossy attitude. But he didn't say much, because he also hoped that No. 5 could go down to explore the road. It's better for No. 5 to go down first than for him to go down first.

After the white light is amplified to a radius of about five meters, it no longer amplifies. Number 5 took the lead and was the first to rush out and disappear.

Tang Ke and others invariably slowed down their fall. Waiting for a message from No. 5, but after waiting for about half a minute, there was no response in the white light.

"No. 5, how are you? What's out there?" Tang Ke asked loudly.

There was still no response, and No. 5 fell down as if he had been transported to another space.

Tang Ke was wary and used an investigation technique on Bai Guang.

But no results were obtained. The investigation technique is not omnipotent, and it cannot investigate information about everything in the world. For example, things like wind, frost, rain, and dew cannot be investigated at all.

The remaining four people wanted to slow down and observe the white light for a while, but the pressure above their heads did not give them this chance at all and continued to push them downwards ruthlessly.

Without a way out. The four of them could only bite the bullet and rush out of the white light.

Tang Ke flew down first this time. The moment he touched the white light, his eyes turned into a vast expanse of white, everything disappeared, and his body became lighter, as if he had turned into a light and fluttering stick. feathers. These abnormal feelings come and go quickly, and the white light disappears in the blink of an eye. And his weight returned to normal.

The darkness is gone, the pressure is gone, and there is another strange space under the white light.

The first thing that caught Tang Ke's eyes was a patch of emerald green. There were green things everywhere, green above his head, green under his feet, and everything around him was green.

These green colors are brought about by a special substance, which is a viscous liquid that appears green, under the influence of an unknown mysterious force. It formed some huge irregular blocks on its own. From a distance, these green blocks look like a pile of green building blocks that have been magnified countless times and then randomly pieced together.

These blocks composed of green liquid are connected together to form a complex and irregular three-dimensional maze, with some passages of different shapes for people to pass through. And there are quite a lot of passages, extending in all directions, and I don’t know where they all lead.

From a local perspective, this green three-dimensional maze should be very large. Only people with super memory can fly out, otherwise they will have to get lost in it.

Tang Ke was stunned by the strange sight in front of him. This was the first time he had seen such a strange sight after being in this world for so long. He stared for a while before he came back to his senses, turned his attention to the others, and glanced around.

Including No. 5, who was the first to come down, everyone was there, everyone.

Since there is no place to stay here, everyone still uses various methods to stay suspended in mid-air.

Looking at the top of the head again, the white light has disappeared, cutting off everyone's escape route. If you want to leave here, you can only go through this maze, get the Fountain of Death, and then be teleported out.

"It's very bad. The scene in front of us is completely different from the records I've read. This means that we can't rely on historical records to get through here. Next, we can only rely on ourselves to slowly explore." Amy. Li said in a deep voice, her face full of worry.

"Those messy records are inherently unreliable. The only ones that are truly reliable are the weapons in our hands." Tang Ke said, patting the soul-stealing knife hanging on his waist.

"The only one you can rely on is me!" No. 5 interjected from the side, raising his two metal arms, making a creaking sound with every move.

"Yes, and you." Tang Ke nodded in agreement. He felt that he could continue to let No. 5 be responsible for exploring the road. This iron lump was indeed reliable.

While a few people were talking, a new vision appeared in this strange space. Not far from the heads of several people, a translucent clock appeared. There was only one hand on it. It was unclear whether it was the hour hand or the minute hand. In short, it was not the second hand, because the hand moved very slowly.

Tang Ke and others were all startled, and each of them retreated a certain distance, but the clock above their heads seemed to be stuck to them, following them like a shadow and unable to get rid of it. Tang Ke also had the courage to swing his sword at the clock twice, but it had no effect. The clock was like air. There seemed to be no reaction at all. As for the investigation technique, it has no effect on this thing. After the investigation, a reminder will pop up: "Ding! The system has been seriously interfered with, the skill release failed, and the information about this object cannot be obtained!"

Similar tips. This was not the first time Tang Ke encountered this. This happened every time he dealt with some mysterious figures or artifacts.

The Fountain of Death is something created by the goddess of life. Even if there is divine power in this space, there is nothing surprising.

"It seems that my investigative skills will be difficult to use here." Tang Ke thought to himself and began to observe the clock with his naked eyes.

This clock is round. There is a pointer and many scales, and the whole thing is translucent. Other than that, there is nothing special about it.

Tangke stared at the clock for a while and found that the hands moved, proving that the time of the clock was passing.

"What do you think this clock is?" Emily asked, pointing to the clock above her head.

"I think this thing is a reminder that it's time to go back for lunch." Tonk shrugged. Answered casually.

"Or it could be a reminder that once the time is up, we all have to finish playing." Solu whistled and said grimly.

As soon as these words came out, the air immediately became tense.

Emily was silent for a while, nodded and said: "I think Solu may be right, we should hurry up. Find a way out from here quickly. Don't wait here stupidly."

"The way out is right in front of you, why bother looking for it." Tang Ke waved his right hand, and the Shadow Condensing Evil Sword worn on his wrist created ten sword energy. With another wave of his hand, all the sword energy flew out, and they were all shot ten meters away on the opposite side. green wall. If you can use your sword energy to carve out a path, there is no need to follow the passage of the maze. You can go straight to the exit in a straight line, which is undoubtedly much more convenient.

What is surprising is that the sword energy hit the green wall. It didn't trigger any reaction, just drilled in until it disappeared. Looking at the green wall again, the surface is intact and has not been affected by the sword energy at all!

This scene before my eyes. Tang Ke thought of the word "softness overcomes strength". If it is a solid wall, as long as it is blasted with sword energy, a gap will always be blasted out. But if it is a wall formed by the liquid in front of you, no matter how fierce the sword energy is, it will not have any effect!

Tang Ke didn't give up, and with a flick of his hand, he summoned hundreds of sharper sword energies, using these sword energies to focus on attacking one point on the green wall. But these sword energies are still the same as last time, like a stone sinking into the sea, disappearing in the blink of an eye, not even a ripple on the green wall.

"It seems that the sword energy cannot destroy this maze." Tang Ke retracted his hand depressedly, and he was very angry when he encountered something that the sword energy could not destroy.

"If the sword energy is useless, then the wind will certainly not be useful either." Emily discouraged.

"It would be a good thing if everything can pass through it, so that we can fly directly over." Solu stretched out his hands and made a little angel's wings movement.

"Good idea." Tang Ke nodded, looked at No. 5 and said, "I'll leave this task to you. Try crossing the green wall on the opposite side. If you succeed, you will have made a great contribution to the Dragon Tooth Country. Wait. After you return home, the king will definitely reward you."

"Yes! I'll rush over right now!" No. 5 agreed immediately without even hesitating.

Ada, who belonged to the Dragon Fang Kingdom like No. 5, couldn't stand it any longer. He frowned and said, "Tangke, you are so unkind. Why do you always trick him into taking risks? Those green things look weird at first sight. If No. 5 What should I do if I get in danger?"

"There are definitely dangers, but I think that with No. 5's ability, he should be able to deal with all kinds of dangers easily. To say the least, even if it encounters danger and suffers any damage, it can be repaired in the future, just like the one at my house. Like a broken heater." Tang Ke said nonchalantly.

"It seems that you are not only unkind, but also shameless." Ada said angrily.

"If you are very kind, why don't you go over and check the mysterious substance on the other side? You keep accusing me like this, no matter how high-sounding you say it, it seems to me that you are just making sarcastic remarks." Tang Ke snorted coldly. road.

"I'll go, I'll go." Ada agreed angrily, and then looked at No. 5, "You stay where you are, and I'll go over and try what's going on with the green liquid."

"Okay, No. 5 is waiting for your good news here!" No. 5 agreed loudly.

Ada rode the sea dragon on her crotch and slowly approached the green liquid. The sea dragon under his crotch is ten meters long, with a slender body and four wings. The surface is covered with smooth dark blue scales. There is no sea water around here, so Hai Long can only mobilize the water element to create a ball of sea water, wrap himself in it, and lift it up to fly.

After getting close to within ten meters. Ada stopped cautiously, took out a bottle of holy water from his body, and threw it into the green liquid. He had brought a lot of this kind of holy water, and losing even one of it didn't matter.

After the holy water entered the green liquid, it slid forward for a certain distance, and then appeared under the gaze of everyone. Melts quickly until it disappears.

Everyone changed color slightly, and then discovered that the green liquid was horribly corrosive and could quickly corrode objects that entered it. What I don't know now is how corrosive this green liquid is, and whether it can corrode the sword energy or magic elements in everyone.

This mystery hangs in the minds of everyone. But no one wanted to try it themselves.

"This green liquid is dangerous and unpredictable. I think everyone should just walk through the maze honestly. Don't expect to pass directly through the green liquid." Emily took a breath of air and suggested.

"It seems that this is the only way." Solu shrugged.

"If I had known that I was going to walk through the maze, I would have brought a fortune teller in and asked him to help us figure out which direction the exit would be." Tang Ke looked around and saw that the two-dimensional maze has several directions: southeast, northwest, and northwest. The three-dimensional maze has countless more directions to go. And in this strange space, there is no way to tell the direction. Everything can only be judged by memory and feeling.

"Look at the clock above your head." Solu reminded.

Tang Ke looked up and found that the hands of the clock had obviously moved a short distance.

No one knows what will happen after the hands of the clock reach the end, but there must be nothing good, and the existence must be reasonable. This clock must have a special function.

The translucent clock was like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads, bringing a real sense of oppression to everyone, forcing everyone to take action as soon as possible.

After some deliberation, everyone lined up. The stupid No. 5 took the lead in the front, Ada followed closely behind, Tang Ke and Solu took the third and fourth positions, and Emily held down the rear formation. A group of five people flew cautiously in one direction, approaching a spacious circular entrance little by little.

Everyone is afraid of what happens to the green liquid. Therefore, the speed was very slow, but as it flew closer, the green liquid still did not move, and still maintained its original shape.

No. 5 was braver than the ambitious leopard. He was the first to fly into the entrance, but nothing happened. It seemed that the green liquid maintained a very strong form, as long as he didn't touch it. The few people following him were relieved a little and speeded up to follow.

This passage is about thirty meters long, with a fork at the end, one leading to the left and the other to the right.

No. 5 stopped in the middle of the fork, in a dilemma, not knowing what to choose.

Tang Ke felt that making this kind of choice was all about luck and there was no technical content at all, so he asked: "We have to have a person who decides which way to go. Who among you has the best luck and memory?" Good? People with good luck can be responsible for exploring the path in the early stage, and people with good memories can be responsible for recording the paths they have taken so as not to repeat them."

"I have a good memory and can remember the path I have taken." Emily volunteered.

"Very good, it's up to you to remember the route." Tang Ke said.

In terms of luck, no one boasts of being particularly lucky.

Seeing that no one said anything, Tang Ke took the initiative to take on this responsibility and said with a smile: "I feel like I'm pretty lucky. I once used a skull gold coin to draw a sapling of the Tree of Life as a prize in the Pirate City. , it’s up to me to choose which path to take in the early stage, do you have any opinions?”

"Have you ever obtained a sapling from the Tree of Life?" Solu said in surprise, "That thing is a priceless treasure and can be sold for a lot of money."

"Yes, I have won one, but now I have given it to someone else, so you don't have to be surprised, let alone try to take advantage of me. I just want to tell you that I am pretty lucky. "

"It's not just good, it's just bullshit luck."

"In this case, it's up to me, a lucky guy like me, to decide which way to go." Tang Ke looked at No. 5 in front of him and ordered, "Tie Qiaoda, take the left That road, I have a hunch, will lead to the exit.”

"Okay!" No. 5 got rid of his worries and readily agreed. He flicked the flames behind him and flew towards the passage on the left.

Everyone followed closely, but before they could fly to the fork, No. 5, which had just flown over, flew back.

Tang Ke didn't know why and asked: "No. 5, why did you fly back again?"

"I had to fly back because the passage on the left was a dead end and there was no way to go." No. 5 said, spreading his hands.

Everyone turned their attention to Tang Ke and asked in unison: "Is this your shitty luck?"

Tang Ke cursed secretly and said harshly: "It took me several times to draw the Tree of Life. One defeat is nothing. Continue to listen to me and turn right this time."

"Okay!" No. 5 happily agreed again, this time flying to the right. Unexpectedly, not long after it flew over, it turned around and flew back, shouting as it flew, "No! The right side is also a dead end!"

Tang Ke chose two dead ends in a row. He lost all dignity and said angrily: "What the hell is this maze? There are dead ends on both sides."

"Okay, okay, I think your luck is not that good, so you'd better let me lead the way. Whether it's leading the way or recording the way, I will do it all by myself." Emily said in a big tone.
