Chapter 38 The World Outside the Cave

Just as Yiye Zhiqiu and Hu Wan continued to move forward along the corridor of the maze, three skeletons holding woodcutters' axes and singing songs had already arrived at the entrance of the Beifeng Mine.

Looking at the air wall that blocked countless players, Xiaosha suddenly waved his hand, stopped Jingluo and Xiaowan, and handed the axe to Jingluo.

Just when Jingluo and Xiaowan were confused, she rubbed her hands, made a standing long jump and jumped out of the cave, passing through the air wall unhindered.

"It's done! Hahahaha! I'm the first one to set foot in the new world and play aaaaaa!"

It was just dawn, the ground was cool in autumn, and a layer of wet dew condensed on the steep mountain road.

In addition, the skeleton's soles were leaky, so the little shark, with both feet on the ground, sat down directly on the ground and rolled down the slope with a scream of fear.

Fortunately, it hit a huge rock, otherwise the slide would have definitely rushed down the mountain.

"Neuropathy……"

Whale Fall walked up speechlessly, reached out to pull up the little shark whose head was stuck on her butt from the ground, and then hit her hard on the head.

Covering his forehead that was about to crack, Xiaosha's pitiful voice sounded as if he was about to cry.

"Damn it... I'm already in such a miserable state! Don't you have any sympathy for women?"

Knowing that this guy was pretending, Jingluo said bluntly.

"What are you talking about, you corpse? At least you should look more beautiful than the moon."

"Damn it! You wanna fight?"

Just when the two funny guys were fighting, Xiao Wan, who was standing on the slope, was attracted by the scenery in the distance.

I saw the brilliant glow engraved on the corner of the horizon, like a rising fire. The mountains stretched as far as the eye could see, and the forests were all dyed red in autumn.

It's so beautiful.

Perhaps it was because she had stayed in the mine for too long, the sharp contrast made her feel that the world was so beautiful, and she even had the urge to stay here forever.

Here, she can jump around without any scruples...

You can go wherever you want.

“I didn’t expect the world outside the cave to be so vast!”

Looking at Xiao Wan who was gazing into the distance with a look of longing, Whale Fall and Little Shark, who were struggling with each other, looked at each other, smiled, and let go of their entangled skeleton hands.

"Really? A dog who hid such a good thing——Ahem! The planner is really too much!"

"It turns out that the map outside has been completed a long time ago," Jingluo walked to Xiaowan's side, followed her gaze into the distance, and said with a faint smile, "I thought the outside was all stickers... It seems that I underestimated the strength of the development team."

Who knows, even the human towns on the surface may have been completed.

Not going south, right?

It seems to be in the south.

Xiao Wan: "Come to think of it, when I was in the mine, I didn't feel it at all...it was actually already daybreak outside."

Whale Fall: “Yes.”

Little Shark: "The sunrise in the morning is great!"

Xiao Wan: "I mean...it's already dawn in real life. We've been online for almost 24 hours, right? Do you guys usually play games like this?"

Little Shark: "How is that possible! Being online for 24 hours straight is too much! We still log off every now and then, like getting up to eat or something."

Xiao Wan stared at the smug Little Shark in amazement, totally unable to understand what the latter was so proud of.

Whale Fall said with a slight smile.

"Yes, Xiaosha ate two takeouts today."

Little Shark's whole body froze and he couldn't help but cough.

"Hey! I'm still growing, what's wrong with eating a little more? And don't make it sound like I ate two servings in one meal!"

Whale Fall: "Oh? I'm almost 20 years old. Is there really still hope?"

Little Shark: "Go to hell!"

Seeing the two people bickering again, Xiao Wan couldn't help but ask another question out of curiosity.

"Do you two...know each other in real life?"

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"Rather than knowing each other..."

"It's better to say we've known each other for many years!"

"That's great..." Xiao Wan looked at the two of them enviously and couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if she had friends in real life.

"Let's not talk about this anymore and get to work." Whale Luo picked up the two axes on the ground and threw one of them into Little Shark's hand.

Xiao Wan: "Wait, don't you really need to log off and rest for a while? Like, do some exercise to recover or something..."

Shefting the axe over her shoulder, Little Shark looked at her strangely.

"What are you talking about?"

Jingluo looked at her with confused eyes as if it was natural.

"That's right, what are you talking about? We are from another world, and it's enough for the Earth to provide us with nutrients."

Xiao Wan: “…”

…

On the other side, in the "sewer corridor" on the first floor of the maze, two skeleton soldiers were still advancing forward.

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu has already reached level 5, and is only one step away from level 6.

His current attributes are 4/6/3/1/1. His strongest attribute is still strength, and his second strongest attribute, physique, is almost catching up with the old farmer of the Os Empire.

Surpass the living as a skeleton soldier.

Even by undead standards, this is a remarkable achievement.

The two were originally planning to return along the same route, but they encountered a lizard man on the way.

The guy had dark green scales, a short bow on his back, and was crawling in the dark waiting for his opportunity to strike.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The two immediately chased after it, but the monster did not launch an attack. After realizing that it was exposed, it turned around and ran away.

Yiye Zhiqiu and Hu Wan chased for a while, but ultimately failed to catch up and instead came to a strange place.

"Let that guy get away."

Looking at the shadow disappearing in the distance, Yiye Zhiqiu showed an expression of regret on his face.

"Where is this?" Hu Wan looked around and saw a large hall paved with stone slabs.

Towering granite pillars connected the dome, and dark steps with extinguished braziers on both sides led all the way to the entrance at the dome.

There was a circle of railings with extinguished torches on them, like an abandoned lookout tower.

"I don't know..." Yiye Zhiqiu was also observing the surroundings and felt that the situation here looked somewhat familiar.

After a long while, he suddenly realized that this was the entrance to the maze without the cobwebs!

"I see... this might be another entrance to the maze."

As he said this, a faint green light flickered in the deep eyes of the skull.

"Another entrance?!"

Hu Wan was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed Yi Ye Zhi Qiu's gaze and looked towards the end of the stairs connecting to the dome.

Really a bit similar?!

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu continued speaking thoughtfully.

"From previous CG animations, we can infer that there should be adventurers in this world... However, so far, the only adventurers we have encountered are those in the cage. In this case, there is only one possibility, that the maze entrance we occupy is just one of them, and it may even be the least popular of all the entrances."

As he spoke, he stared intently at the end of the stairs, as if his eyes had already passed through the tightly closed archway and seen the scene beyond.

That should be the human world! "Want to go take a look?"

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu looked at Hu Wan, who, as expected, gave him a firm look in return.

As a closed beta player, how could I miss this opportunity to experience the game content first?

“…Let’s go take a look!”

The two men climbed up the stairs, climbed over the railing of the lookout tower, and came to the gate. Just as they were about to open it, they saw the door creak open by itself.

A middle-aged man in standard armor walked in from behind the door, yawning.

He had a mace on his left waist, a flintlock on his right waist, and a shield worth 50,000 ghost coins in his left hand.

Perhaps because he had just come out of a pub, there was still beer foam hanging on his beard, and he was mumbling something in an incomprehensible language.

The two sides met each other and were stunned for a moment.

Just when Yi Ye Zhi Qiu opened his mouth to say something, the human soldier smashed the shield in his hand at the skeleton as if he had seen a ghost, then turned around and ran away.

"Undead!!! It's the undead! Ring the bell!!!"

He ran while shouting in shock, and soon disappeared into the darkness, scaring Yi Ye Zhi Qiu and Hu Wan who were standing at the door, and they were so shocked that they were at a loss for a moment.

Hu Wan: "What is he shouting?!"

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "...I don't know, maybe it's 'seeing a ghost'."

As the two were talking, there was a hurried bell ringing behind the door, followed by the sound of running footsteps.

His intuition told him that this was definitely not a good sign.

Without any hesitation, he picked up the shield that had fallen on the ground and ran down the stairs.

“Run!”
