Chapter 14 Abyss Trial Field

Shirley replied: "We have also obtained the spices. After discussion, one will be given to Baron Baron for auction. Miss Vivian is also planning to take the opportunity to show off at the auction. One will be used to make friends with the court mage Favna. She is also the desire of the Baron. The frost rose in the flower shop where I work was made by her. I have also met her, and being able to learn from her is also what I long for. I am now taking the opportunity of sending letters to visit her in the library of the Mage Tower. After studying for a day, she is using the strengthening effect of her mage tower to send you a message."

Big shot! The smoothness of this situation makes Dachun—no, this damn fat guy has a big appetite. Vivian, who is robbing labor and wages, is also eyeing female celebrities. Damn this fat guy!

Dachun was a little annoyed: "Such a big shot only allows you to study for one day?"

Shirley was anxious: "One day is extremely precious. Now let's teach you how to recognize magic stones. There are six types of wind, fire, water, earth, light and darkness. Find the heaviest one first, which is the stone of earth. Then find the lightest one. , that is the Stone of Wind. Have you found it?"

Dachun immediately compared the weight of the stones: "Found it!"

At the same time, I felt unbelievable: "You learned the space magic circle so quickly?"

"There is a blessing of wisdom in the mage tower, which makes me feel a little smarter. Besides, the space array you mentioned is based on the book. The difficulty lies in obtaining the magic stone."

Damn it, if you are so awesome, then studying for just one day is actually a big deal, right?

Dachun's confidence greatly increased: "My dear, continue teaching!"

"Look for the blackest one, that is darkness, and then find three rocks outside the wind and soil to hit, and the one that can create sparks is light..."

Dachun tested them one by one and successfully identified 6 stones.

"Prepare to set up the formation, and the sequence and timing must not be wrong!"

Any time requirements? This is really not something that players can figure out on their own.

Dachun stabilized one group first: "Wait until the elevator comes before setting up the formation. I'm afraid the elevator will come down in the middle of setting up the array."

"Alright."

Dachun noticed another detail: once he teleported away, the boss behind him noticed the exposed magic circle that had been dug out, so wouldn't it be clear to him that someone had been here?
Dachun immediately piled sand and stones in a circle around the magic circle, forming a "crater" half a person's height. It should be flattened when the elevator comes down, just enough to automatically bury the magic circle.

At the same time, I don’t know where it will be teleported. If it is too far away and I can’t contact Shirley, it will be troublesome, so I will explain the safety arrangements first: “My dear, there will be a lot of noise on your trip out of the city, and there will definitely be bad guys targeting you. , is there any way you can avoid these bad people?"

"Indeed, when we left the city, two obstacles were set up on the road. I have a way to avoid bad people, just put on makeup."

Da Chun was stunned: "Make up?"

"Yes, in the legend of Cinderella, a girl looks two different ways before makeup and after makeup."

Well...it's true that she is hard to recognize as a passerby NPC.

Dachun expressed his thoughts: "Then when we perform tasks together, you will dress up beautifully. How about being Cinderella in private?"

Shirley smiled: "It feels like a romantic fairy tale. It's interesting! Okay, let me teach you the steps first. Remember it clearly and review it later. First, put the Stone of Light in the first star position. Preheat it for five minutes, then put the Dark Stone on the fourth star position to preheat it for five minutes..."

Dachun’s careful record...

Finally, the elevator came down and flattened the "crater" around the circle.

As soon as the elevator left, Dachun immediately stepped forward to check, and sure enough, the magic circle was automatically buried, perfect!
Dachun immediately dug out the magic circle and built a crater again, confirming that the details were in place: "I'm ready!"

"Then let's start, let's release the light stone first..."

Dachun operated carefully and steadily, and installed the six magic stones in place. Sure enough, as long as you know the method, this magic circle seems simple, but it is not difficult at all. At this time, the underwater light surged and twisted.

"Stand in the middle of the magic circle! The magic stone will also be transferred there. This stone is very, very expensive. Once transferred, it becomes lighter and can be recharged. You must remember to take it with you."

"understand!"

The next moment, Dachun felt that the surrounding space was twisting and fluctuating in the light. Then the scene changed, a hot red light rushed towards his face, and the sound of mining filled his ears.

——System prompt: Warning! You enter the first level of the Abyss Trial Field, and you must make every effort to pass the trial.

Dachun was shocked. Isn't this the abyss lava scene in the opening animation? Quickly contact Shirley: "Can Shirley hear me?"

But there was a blind tone, and the contact was indeed interrupted.

The teleportation light dissipated, and I saw a large group of half-human level 1 red little devils with high pointy ears mining in a large fiery red underground mine! In the middle of the mine is a small magma pool the size of a well, with several tunnel entrances connected around the mine.

They also suddenly looked up and saw the spring! Then they all looked at Dachun's feet - it was the magic stone that was teleported over!
Dachun hurriedly picked it up and found that it was indeed lighter, but the total weight was still more than 100.

The next moment, the little devils swarmed in waving hoes!

Damn it! Dachun didn't even think about it, so he ran at full speed towards the entrance of one of the tunnels.

But with more than 100 pounds of weight on his body, the cost of full speed is doubled physical exertion. At the same time, Dachun also realized a more serious thing: he is a big red name, and once he dies, his equipment and items will be exploded. These 6 The stone cannot be saved! And I don’t know where Resurrection is. If Resurrection is in the city, my trip will be in vain.

Then there is only one way to think of, find a corner in the passage against the wall that is not besieged and fight to the death one on one! The attributes of this level 1 little devil should be half lower than those of level 1 players. Even if they have a mine hoe, they still have 5 points of defense. As long as they explode their mine hoe, they will have weapons...

After rushing into the tunnel, Dachun was shocked to find that there were rows of level 1 little demons mining in the tunnel. But they only looked up at themselves and did not participate in the containment.

Understand, this is not an ordinary wild monster that just beats up on everyone! They only attack and rob when they see the magic stone. It’s also possible that since he’s a big name, he’s in the same camp by default?

Soon Dachun saw a damaged abandoned mine car leaning in the corner of the tunnel in front of him. At this angle and height, he could climb up and stand down from a high position!
——System prompt: Your weight is too high and the climb failed! You gain climbing proficiency.

Damn it! At the critical moment, it was actually because of my lack of climbing skills!
The little devils were chasing after them, obviously not giving Dachun a chance to continue climbing. Dachun had to rely on the mine cart and the corner to face him. Although this position would not be besieged, it would be one-on-two or even one-on-three.

A little demon had already raised his pickaxe and was chopping down! Suddenly, the screen zoomed in to give a close-up of the pickaxe handle—the system prompted: You have triggered the combat effect of your talent skill, Master Level Pickaxe Mastery!

What? Dachun didn't have time to think, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand like this - snap! He actually grabbed the opponent's hoe handle, and at the same time, a fluctuating progress bar appeared!
——System prompt: You trigger the disarming effect of the ore hoe! Note: This effect will seize the opponent's ore hoe for your own use, and cannot seize the ore hoe that has been bound by insurance.

What the hell!

Dachun was shocked beyond belief! Disarm is clearly a warrior skill, but it only prevents the opponent from using weapons for a period of time. This is basically robbery, the equivalent of exploding equipment! Or does it only work on hoes?

The little devil pulled the hoe back with all his strength in fear, and the progress bar moved back a little in its direction, but it was obvious that he was no match for Dachun. This kind of strength contest depends on the load value!
At this time, another little devil chopped down from the side, and the close-up picture was triggered again!

Dachun was shocked and quickly caught it with his other hand!
Now it was a one-on-two situation, two tug-of-war progress bars, and the three parties were deadlocked, with only physical strength left! Fortunately, these two kicked and jumped to block the little devils behind them, so theoretically, one could still get in.

Dachun's mind raced as he found himself in a stalemate. Even if he managed to win, his stamina wouldn't be much. He wouldn't have the energy to face the constant onslaught from behind. He had to find a way to recover! There was only one way: drain the opponent's stamina, leaving them unable to fight, but also prevent them from letting go. He had to keep them stuck here...

After figuring it out, seeing that the other party's progress bar was about to run out, Dachun deliberately let go of his hand!

As expected, the opponent forced himself to rally and win back a point, Dachun tightened up again, once again pushing the progress bar to the limit, and then after two minutes of this, the two little devils were exhausted and dragged their hoes as crutches to catch their breath, and Dachun's physical strength began to recover. At this time:

System prompt: Congratulations! Your remarkable wisdom and ability have combined with advanced fishing techniques to upgrade your advanced fishing skills to Level 2! Achievement Rewards: Carrying Weight +1, Stamina +1.

……

Holy shit! !
Dachun couldn't believe it. This was even more outlandish than surrendering! How could he learn to fish in such an unrelated setting? That's right, fishing techniques also require flexibility, so this is a case of applying what you've learned to others. This game has a truly high degree of freedom!
As the two little demons could no longer jump, a third little demon finally squeezed in from the right and chopped them down with a hoe!

Dachun could only free his right hand to catch the new hoe first, and then look nervously at the little devil who was still breathing and whom he had just let go.

The only plan now was to use my left hand to alternately deal with the two panting demons. I had to interrupt their rhythm and not let them attack at the same time...

Finally, the little devil recovered his breath and immediately began to attack. Dachun immediately released his left hand and caught it again! The other little devil who was released took the opportunity to catch his breath.

Very good, the rhythm is staggered.

Dachun's right hand loosened and loosened, constantly fighting the third demon. His left hand held two demons, constantly defusing their attacks! His fishing proficiency also soared, and what was coming came again:
——System prompt: Congratulations! ...Your Advanced Fishing Skill has reached Level 3! Achievement Rewards: Carrying Weight +1, Stamina +1.

In this situation where the three parties were at their limit, the 1 point of weight-bearing stamina added by this achievement was like a weight on a scale that moved slightly towards Dachun, instantly establishing Dachun's advantage. Dachun finally exhausted the stamina of the third little devil with just one right hand.

By this point, the three little demons in front of Dachun were exhausted and formed a human wall blocking Dachun. Dachun performed a circus act like a catching apple, alternating between the three hoes with his hands, and his strength was slowly recovering.

Just at this moment, a shocking roar like the breath of a wild beast came from the passage!

Dachun was shocked. What happened?
The demons were even more frightened, screaming and tumbling as they immediately ran out of the tunnel and back into the mine. The demons in the tunnel suddenly started mining at a high speed, with a clang clang clang sound that never stopped.

Only the two little ones who were caught by Dachun's hoe were left. They were impatient and broke out in their final struggle, but it was of no avail. They suddenly knelt down and cried bitterly!

——System prompt: You understand that the two little devil miners are willing to follow you. Do you accept?
Dachun was stunned! It could even recruit minions? This wild monster wasn't just ordinary, it was actually intelligent?

Hearing the roar getting closer, Dachun didn't think much about it and accepted it!

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have your own vassal army, and you have unlocked the team legion attribute: Command! Your current command is 0.

Leadership: Improve the overall status of the team and legion.

……

Damn, the attributes on the Legion Order have been activated!
Leadership is a profoundly metaphysical attribute, randomly granting certain attributes to team members, with the values ​​also being random and low. It's like a team buff that doesn't require casting and can't be dispelled. The higher the total leadership value of the team members, the better the overall effect. Legend has it that reaching a certain level of leadership grants the ability to comprehend an aura, and above the aura is the domain, and above the domain is the god. Therefore, leadership is the attribute of godhood! Paladins naturally possess aura skills, so leadership is a natural attribute for them...

At this time, the two little ones also let go of the hoes in their hands, and Dachun held a hoe in each hand!
System prompt: Congratulations! You've successfully mastered the Master Pickaxe skill, achieving Level 1 in the primary combat skill "Disarm the Pickaxe," allowing you to seize the enemy's pickaxe. Achievement Rewards: +1 Health, +1 Stamina, +1 Carrying Weight, +1 Block Rate.

System prompt: Congratulations! You've successfully mastered the Master Pickaxe Mastery Combat Production Skill, "Dual Wielding Pickaxes," allowing you to mine and fight with two pickaxes simultaneously. You've received the following achievement rewards: +1 Health, +1 Stamina, +1 Carrying Weight, +1 Accuracy Rate.

……

Holy shit, this is so mind-boggling! Dual wielding is also a Warrior skill! I've never heard of a miner dual-wielding a hoe while mining! So this is the Master level. Master-level breakthroughs unlock all sorts of freedom. The higher the level, the easier it becomes. It's gradually refreshing my superficial understanding of the public beta!

The next moment, the little devil squeaked - the system prompts: You understood the little devil's danger warning.

Then run! It seems that the only way is to run towards the mine.

But the two little ones were exhausted, so they were asked to drag the hoes along. But Dachun was also weak and couldn't drag them along, so they had no choice but to return the hoes to them and let them run on their own.

After the two little ones got the pickaxes back, they immediately rolled and crawled towards the mine. Dachun suddenly felt something was wrong.

——System prompt: Sorry! Two of your servants have defected.

Wow… Holy shit! I haven’t been the boss for even a few seconds!
Dachun also ran back to the mine, only to see the same group of little devils digging like crazy, never once looking up at him. He understood, it was the overseers! Dachun probably understood why the two had knelt; losing the pickaxe was probably a capital offense.

Well, now I don't even know what's going on here, or what to do. I really don't need to worry about the two little ones defecting. Just being able to master these few skills is already a huge win. Just because ordinary little demons don't attack me doesn't mean the Overseer won't attack either. It would be terrible if they caught me mining.

The only option was to escape through another entrance, then find a hidden corner to sit and eat some rations to restore his stamina and clear his hunger bar. Dachun was worried that the little demons in the tunnel would come and snatch the rations. Then he realized he was running low on rations; he had already eaten some while AFK in the flooded pit.

Soon, from the other side of the mine came the roar of a giant beast, the sound of whipping like thunder, and the screams of little demons.

Maybe he was chasing me and delayed his mining business, so he was beaten anyway. It was so brutal!
But this also made Dachun suddenly alert: If I delay mining and lose my hoe, I will be punished. If I kill a few miners or recruit two of my younger brothers, will the supervisor chase me all over the field?
Anyway, first, we need to understand what this "Abyss Trial Level 1" trial is. It's a true hidden quest that doesn't even have a hint of the objective. We also need to find food. With so many little demons, there must be a canteen or something. As long as there's enough food, we can stay here and max out our skills...
