Chapter 177 The last day of survival!
The torrent is wild.
After the Ghost Sea Demonic Whale lost control, the four of them were thrown back by the turbulent current.
Then, the magic whale left the four people behind and swam towards the depths of the trench.
"Damn, it was almost!"
Li Ran gritted his teeth and cursed as he stopped in the torrent.
The other three people also stabilized themselves in the turbulence.
But as soon as he stopped, the endless ghosts and ghosts surged up behind him, like dense clouds in the sky sweeping in in several waves.
Seeing this scene, the four people rowed their limbs frantically towards the end of the trench.
But the speed of human beings in the water is not as fast as the speed of underwater creatures.
He was about to be swallowed up by the dense crowd of ghosts.
"Uh-huh!!"
Zhao Yingzhi suddenly took out a scroll and made a "gulu-lu" sound under the water anxiously.
Then, the scroll in her hand disappeared, and the water behind her suddenly began to vibrate violently. The entire water swayed up and down, and rapids surged around, as if a deep-sea dragon was frantically stirring up the water.
It was like the water in a drum washing machine, sucking in the endless ghosts that were chasing after it.
That is the skill scroll [Raging Waves] obtained by Zhao Yingzhi in the mission, which can be released in designated waters.
This skill scroll is the same as the [Frozen Tomb] scroll that Li Ran once obtained. They are both disposable consumables. Although the skill is good, it can only be used once.
"Hurry up, this skill won't last long."
After Zhao Yingzhi released the scroll, she looked at the three of them, and then added hand gestures to ask them to speed up and swim towards the end of the trench.
Li Ran was possessed by a little witch. The little witch was already faster underwater. With a slight kick of his legs, his whole body was launched like a torpedo.
Xue Jin, Lan Defei, and Zhao Yingzhi took out the sneak flippers from the storage space and put them on their feet.
[Props: Weird flippers]
[Attributes: None]
[Function: Putting it on the feet can triple the player's stealth speed underwater. 】
This is also a prop that everyone decided to buy after discussion in Cangming Supermarket.
"Breathing potion." Li Ran gestured with his hands to remind them that the time for underwater breathing potion was coming soon.
The three of them swam quickly while taking out underwater breathing potions and pouring them into their mouths to extend the time of underwater breathing.
They swam forward for a while, but not long after, the effect of the raging sea waves behind them disappeared.
The ghosts were like clouds and densely packed with ghosts swarming in again. Even on the cliff of the trench at the end of the front, there was a group of ghosts rushing towards them.
Although there is a ghostly aura on them, it is very weak.
Only when the ghost gets close can you smell the scent.
But Li Ran believed that the effect of the Nightmare Clothes was useless. The group of demonic cloud-like ghosts behind them would instantly devour them. The endless ghosts would tear them apart. In the chaotic fight for food, They don't care if they have a ghostly scent on them.
Although the strange power flippers increase the speed a lot, and the end of the trench is right in front of us, the dense black tide of ghosts and monsters behind them are still chasing after them, getting closer and closer!
"The ghost world!"
Li Ran swam the fastest and opened a long distance.
Suddenly turning around, two wisps of demonic energy floated out of his pupils, and a black frame with a dotted line appeared in his pupils.
After three teammates swam past him, he spread his arms suddenly, and a dark ghost realm suddenly stood in front of endless ghosts.
The dark aura condensed in that area like thick ink, and instantly formed a dark curtain wall in the deep sea to separate the ghosts from Li Ran and the others, blocking the entire trench.
At the moment when endless ghosts rushed through the dark curtain wall, countless huge ghost worms appeared out of thin air in the trench.
They entangled, bit, and pounced on each other to fight with ghosts and monsters. Because the number of ghosts and monsters was huge and their targets were dense, the ghost world happened to generate dark worms according to the target number. Therefore, we saw endless worms growing in the dark curtain wall of the sea area. The dark worms are like a deep-sea worm hotbed, entangling all the ghosts and monsters.
But this only blocked the ghosts at the front. The ghosts at the rear circumvented the ghost realm and the human world, divided into two groups and swept in again.
Moreover, a group of ghosts appeared in front of the sneaking people.
"Entangle Lock Card!"
Xue Jin threw out more than a dozen cards in succession. These cards quickly slid through the water to create dark tracks. When the ghosts in front rushed into the range of the tracks, the dark tracks instantly turned into a The tangled dark chains imprisoned them on the cliff.
"Frozen arrows!"
The groups of ghosts and monsters on the cliff on the other side of the trench had just woken up. An arrow with ice marks cut through the torrent and hit the cliff. Immediately, the entire cliff quickly condensed into a thick layer. The thick ice layer froze all the waking ghosts.
"Hurry up, I won't be frozen for long." Lan Defei gestured quickly. Her sleight of hand was low, and she knew very well that freezing could only temporarily control the ghosts.
Li Ran quickly rushed from the rear to the front, and gestured with his hands: "Charge forward in one go!"
Zhao Yingzhi did not hold back, and directly used the Ghost Slashing Blade in the water, flashing the ghost figure three times in the deep sea, and killed the last one. In front, he then used Sky Splitting to kill all the sparse ghosts that were coming.
The ghosts in the trench have a low occult power, probably only about a thousand. Although their uncanny power is low, their numbers are extremely large and their speeds are fast. No wonder the ghost sea demon whales are as crazy as if they have seen a ghost when they come to this place. Dive, and throw them away as soon as the time limit is up. Even if they stay for a long time, the demon whale will be chewed to the bone.
The ghosts swept across like a demonic mist, like a giant deep-sea beast with its fangs spread out. In front of the fangs were four small struggling figures.
The four of them almost used up all their strength to mobilize all their cunning powers.
Almost at the last moment when the fangs of this terrifying deep-sea beast devoured them, it rushed out of the trench.
The moment they left the trench, the pressure that had gathered on everyone receded as quickly as a wave.
Li Ran turned around and looked in the direction of the trench. Countless ferocious ghost faces were crowded at the exit of the trench. Each face was filled with resentment, malice, and cruelty. If the gaze could kill, I'm afraid they would have been beaten to death by the gaze.鑑粉.
But now these ghosts and monsters could only watch them leave fiercely, but could do nothing.
Li Ran also noticed that some of the ghosts were smiling, sarcastically or gloating. Their expressions seemed to be saying: "Ignorant humans are scarier than us in the back." The exit of the trench is the limit of the rules
.
After breaking out of the trench, the ghosts stopped pursuing him, as if there was something more terrifying than them in this turbid and dark sea.
Li Ran took out an underwater diving mask. The diving mask is made of curved glass. When worn on the face, it will automatically drain the water inside and provide the function of a walkie-talkie. All it takes is to tune to the same channel.
There was no time to breathe before this, until now they had time to put on their diving masks.
and tuned to the same channel.
It wasn't until they heard the voices of their teammates that they seemed to dare to breathe, and their tense nerves relaxed a little.
"Is everyone okay?" Li Ran looked at several people and asked.
Several people were panting and nodded with extremely solemn expressions.
"I can't believe we actually rushed over from the trench?" Lan Defi said excitedly, patting her chest.
From the moment she left the hotel, her nerves were tense and her breathing almost stopped. Until this moment, she dared to take a big breath. ,
"That's the first level, I'm afraid it will be even more terrifying later on." Xue Jin suddenly poured a basin of cold water down.
Several people looked at this sea area.
Compared with the darkness and coldness of the previous trench, this sea area looks very filthy. The water under the deep sea is turquoise. Even with a diving mask, it is difficult to see things two meters away. You can only see this area hazily. There are many plants growing under the seabed, mostly seaweeds and seaweeds, which are distributed under the seabed.
Because the sea water is turbid and hazy, these vegetations look like a figure swaying in the sea from a distance. You may be startled when you turn around, making it difficult to tell whether it is seaweed or something else.
The four of them swam forward slowly, carrying underwater lighting equipment and watching the surroundings vigilantly.
Dark, turbid, and cold.
In such an environment, I felt inexplicably suffocated.
Lan Defei, who was very excited just now, suddenly turned pale and solemn again.
"The second rule: eliminate inner fear."
Li Ran emphasized this rule again.
It was obvious that they had entered an extremely scary area, and they could only pass through this area if they eliminated their inner fear.
"I am very worried about this rule, because fear comes from the heart. Seeing something you are afraid of or being suddenly startled will cause inner fear. How can you be fearless?" Lan Defei was worried. asked.
"You can only overcome this by yourself, restrain yourself, imagine everything that might happen or think everything you see is an illusion. When it really happens in front of you, you have to have a premonition of it in your heart. In this way, It can eliminate most of the fear in your heart, but if you are still frightened and fearful in your heart, no one can save you." Li Ran said slowly.
In fact, he himself didn't have much confidence in this level.
His equipment [Quietness] Necklace can eliminate the fear caused by his enemies, but it cannot eliminate the fear in his own heart.
In other words, his piece of equipment has no effect here.
At this level, his combat effectiveness is the same as anyone else's.
Only by eliminating the inner fear can one pass through this area of rules.
But now, they have no idea what is about to happen, and this is the most terrifying thing.
"Let's go first, the Demon Mother will be chasing us soon," Li Ran said.
Everyone nodded, suppressing the panic in their hearts and diving into this turbid sea.
Why not float to the surface?
Witch Mother, Night Heron, Volcano Poison Smoke, any one of them is enough to eat a pot.
Although the risk factor in the sea is not lower than that on the sea.
You know, this moment is already the tenth day of the Cangming Airport Dungeon.
The Last Day of Survival!
It is also the most dangerous day in the dungeon.
"The best way to eliminate inner fear is to be brave enough to face it." Xue Jin said suddenly. He looked at the turbid seaweed area in front and continued: "Especially those seaweeds that are swaying with the ocean currents. Sometimes they look like A figure looks like a tuft of hair. At this time, there will be a slight sense of fear in my heart, and I will wonder if there will be any ghosts emerging from the seaweed when I swim over." "Once I think like this, it's over
. , the fear will only get stronger and stronger."
Xue Jin's words are not unreasonable. Xue Jin, who has always been calm in situations, may be really good at restraining fear.
Several people continued to dive into the turbid sea.
Zhao Yingzhi asked curiously: "What's the method? How to overcome fear? I haven't told you yet."
Lan Defei also looked at Xue Jin curiously. She also wanted to know how to overcome fear, especially since her heart was extremely fragile and sensitive. The slightest movement in this lifeless environment will conjure up some terrible things.
You haven't encountered danger yet. If you do encounter danger, it will be too late, so the sooner you know how to overcome fear, the better.
"Actually, it's very simple." Xue Jin speeded up and swam towards a dense cluster of seaweed. The cluster of seaweed was so huge that it could easily swallow a person completely, and it felt like he was hiding inside when he peeled away the dense seaweed. Like a terrifying creature.
However, Xue Jin got directly into the cluster of seaweed.
Just when everyone was worried about him, Xue Jin emerged from the seaweed and swam back to the group of people with a calm look on his face.
"The best way to overcome fear is to face it bravely and use practice to crush all the terrible illusions in your mind." Xue Jin said seriously.
Li Ran still recognized Xue Jin's theoretical knowledge, but he did not recommend using practice to touch the unknown.
Because the unknown will always override your bravery.
It doesn't matter if you are brave enough, that means you have not encountered anything that scares you.
Everyone has fear, it just depends on what they are afraid of.
Zhao Yingzhi and Lan Defei seemed to have learned something from Xue Jin. At least judging from their faces, they seemed to be a lot more relaxed.
"Have you noticed that these seaweeds have grown taller?"
Li Ran suddenly said after swimming forward for a while.
"It has grown taller. In addition to the seaweed growing on the seabed and rocks, the slender seaweed has obviously grown larger." Xue Jin said.
"Please pay attention and don't get distracted. If you are panicking, speak up and we will solve it together." Li Ran said.
"Yeah."
People's inner fear cannot be seen or touched by others. At this time, if someone pretends to be calm and says that he is not afraid at all, but is already scared to death inside, he will become very nervous in this regular area. fatal.
As I continued to swim forward, there was no sound at all, it was as quiet as death.
It stands to reason that with so much seaweed under this turbid sea, there should be many living creatures, such as fish, crabs, octopuses and so on.
But after swimming for a while, they didn't see a single creature.
"If you are scared, you must say it!"
Li Ran emphasized again in such a strange sea.
The few people behind him nodded in recognition. Although their faces were a little uneasy, everyone took the rules very seriously.
During this period, Li Ran always turned on his spiritual sense to scan the area.
The result of the scan was just like what he saw, dead silence!
As we continue to go deeper into the sea, the visibility of the water is getting lower and lower, and it is so turbid that we can almost only see the field of vision in front of us.
Moreover, the seaweed is becoming more and more dense. Large areas of dense seaweed have appeared on the seabed below. Some are like a fat sea soaked in water, some are like dandelions that have not spread out, and some are nothing like anything. , is a large cluster adsorbed on the rocks on the seabed, but those fat and long seaweeds are floating like streamers in front of a few people.
Due to the turbid water, I swam very close several times only to find a ribbon-like seaweed appearing in front of me.
"The sea water is getting turbid." Zhao Yingzhi said with a frown.
Lan Defei's face turned pale and she whispered: "To be honest... to be honest, I'm really scared."
"Don't think about anything, just follow me." Li Ran turned to Lan Defei and said.
Lan Defei nodded and got a little closer to Li Ran. Looking at Li Ran's back, the fear in her heart instantly dissipated a lot, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Ah wuwu!!!"
Suddenly, Zhao Yingzhi screamed. As soon as she screamed, she realized that she was scared inside and hurriedly closed her mouth.
Several people immediately looked at Zhao Yingzhi, and their pupils shrank slightly.
I also understood why Zhao Yingzhi suddenly screamed.
Zhao Yingzhi bumped into a thick and wide seaweed. The seaweed was swaying in the water like a streamer, but a pair of feet was wrapped around the top of the seaweed. These feet came from a male corpse wearing overalls and Martin boots. The whole person was wrapped The seaweed is entangled, and the seaweed floats above and below your head.
After swimming for such a long time, I didn't see anything. With the visibility so low, I suddenly bumped into a seaweed with a person tied up in front of me. Who wouldn't be shocked.
Li Ran swam in front of the corpse and said in great surprise: "There are actually players who have been here before?"
In front of him was a corpse with a face soaked to pieces, with a diving mask similar to theirs hanging on his head.
After experiencing so many strange things and facing the corpse, Li Ran no longer had any fear.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Yingzhi discovered that Li Ran actually put his hand into the clothes of the corpse and touched it.
"Lick the bag." Li Ran said lightly.
A row of black lines immediately appeared on the foreheads of the three people.
Brother, you are just playing chicken and licking your bag, can you please leave here first?
"There is nothing, it may have been washed away by the sea water." Li Ran shook his head and expressed regret.
Afterwards, the group continued to swim forward.
Because the seagrass grows too high and the seagrass density is too high, they have to swim to higher places.
Li Ran, who was swimming at the front, suddenly raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop.
The three people behind him slowly swam to Li Ran and looked forward, their pupils trembling violently.
I saw countless ribbon-like seaweed floating in the turbid sea ahead. Each thick and long ribbon-like seaweed was entangled with a corpse. Each corpse was entangled in the ribbon-like seaweed at the feet and head. It feels like becoming a part of the seaweed, dancing in the water with the currents under the sea!
