Legend of the Elven Investigator

Chapter 3 Trapped Underground



In the dim black gold coal mine, Zhenping struggled to find his way out in the dark.

"Damn it, this road also collapsed, let's go back." Shinpei sighed, and crossed a line in the notebook.In order to avoid getting completely lost in the dark, he recorded the route he walked in his notebook.Whenever you encounter a dead end or road collapse, you will fork it off to avoid losing your way.

It has been six hours since the collapse inside the coal mine. In such a short period of time, Shinpei already felt parched and exhausted.

Constantly searching in the dark is a great test of physical strength.In order to save the power of the flashlight, Zhenping adjusted the brightness to the lowest level, but now it seems that even this is difficult to maintain.

Haoli patted Zhenping on the shoulder and took the initiative to walk in front. Its perception ability is stronger and it can perceive the general environment ahead.

This relies on a special skill that Haoli has learned: seeing through
This skill can make fighting moves have the same effect when facing ghost spirits.When used in a non-combat state, Haoli is given a special insight perspective.

"I didn't expect a mere [See Through] to have such an important effect in this situation. I am too self-righteous." Shinpei admired in his heart, and the sense of pride brought by time travel disappeared.

Whether it is story clearance or PVP battles in the game, almost no one will pay attention to such auxiliary skills, but in a real world, these skills can play a greater role than output skills.

It's just that with the strength of Haoli, it takes a lot of physical strength to maintain the state of seeing through.One person and one elf help each other, struggling to survive in this underground environment.

Whether it is Zhenping or Haoli, they are very clear that if they cannot get out of trouble for too long, they may be buried here forever.

Zhen Ping only carried a small bottle of bottled water, two packets of biscuits, and some standard equipment for investigators.The latter can only become a heavy burden in this underground environment.Shinpei picked out useless things and discarded them all to reduce the consumption of physical strength.

Walking in the dark, Zhenping realized his position in the mine, and he was afraid that he was constantly falling.

The internal structure of the Black Gold Coal Mine is complex. Unlike the surface, the space here is three-dimensional.Every time you pass an intersection, pass a fork, you may step into the next floor.

The deep tunnel, the dark environment, the dirty air, all kinds of negative factors make Zhenping's pace slower and slower, but the most sinister thing is the oppressive feeling deep in the ground.

On the top of the head, there are immeasurable soil rock formations and charcoal mines. Perhaps as long as there is a tremor, the rock formations here move slightly, and a person and an elf will also turn into charcoal in this dark underground.Despair is like weeds, spreading rapidly in my heart.

"Damn, just came to this world, are you going to die here?" Shinpei felt a bit of difficulty breathing, but he still didn't dare to take off the mask around his mouth and nose, the consequences of inhaling the smoke into his lungs would be unimaginable.

"It's hurting you, Haoli." Shinpei stood up with a reluctant smile on his lips, supporting Haoli's shoulders.The latter shook his head silently, indicating that he didn't mind.

Following the trainer, even if it encounters such a desperate situation, what it thinks is not resentment and regret.

This is the bond between elves and trainers.

Holding Haoli's big hand, Zhenping suddenly felt a hot current gushing from the bottom of his heart, and the desire to survive was rekindled. No matter what, he had to take Haoli to escape from birth.

"Spirits are not data, nor are they tools, but living beings that actually exist." Shinpei muttered silently, with a clear understanding in his heart.

After groping in the dark, Shinpei encountered a fork in the road again.

There are two forked roads, maybe one of them leads to the outside world, maybe both... are dead ends.Standing between the side roads, Shinpei gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, chose one and walked in.

I don't believe it anymore, I just recite it like that!
It seems that Zhenping's luck helped out somewhere. The tunnel is extremely smooth, and there are not many trembling and falling gravels on the road. Zhenping's pace can't help but be a little faster.

Suddenly, Shinpei stopped again.

There was another wall in front of me.

"Damn it, damn it! It's a wall again, it's a dead end!" Shinpei despaired again, his physical strength and supplies could not last long.

"boom!"

Hao Li's eyes shone with sharp white light, and he entered the "see through" state. The powerful fighting air was wrapped around his hands, and the split tile fell down brazenly, opening a deep breach.

It's not a wall, it's a blockage of crumbling rock formations.

For these non-integral rocks, Haoli has no trouble handling them, and the rocks are destroyed in a short time.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and the texture of a rock on the cave wall was different from other places, so there must be something!
There is a situation!
Excited, he hurriedly urged Haoli to speed up the progress.

With the crisp crackling sound, a thin layer of rocks splashed fragmentarily all over the ground, wiping away the smoke and dust to reveal a different texture.The exposed rocks are light gray-brown, and the angular protrusions are naturally grown on the bedrock. Haoli's splitting of the tiles does not seem to have a significant effect.

Hao Li showed doubts on his face. There are really few stones that can withstand his fist. Is there one here?
However, this is not a special rock, but a very irritable rock elf whose sleep has been disturbed - Rumble Stone.

[Elf: Rumble Stone / Gender: ♂ / Level: LV26]

[Characteristic: Hard head / Attribute: Rock + Ground / State: Healthy]

Accompanied by a burst of sand and dust splashing, the rumbling stone embedded in the rock wall spun rapidly and turned itself face-on, and let out a roar with a fierce look on its face.

This big guy with four hands, like an enlarged version of a small fist stone, popped out of the cave wall and smashed hard at Hao Li!
Hao Li didn't react for a while, and was hit on the chest by this large-tonnage elf, and he staggered back a few steps.

However, the combat talent of the fighting elves quickly realized that Hao Li propped the Rumbling Stone away with both hands, keeping a distance from it, and then threw it flying with a flick.

The heaviness of the Rumbling Stone falling to the ground is particularly obvious in this confined space. Pieces of broken stones fell from the roof of the cave, and the sand and dust in Zhenping's hair were all covered, but there was no time to deal with it.

"Chop tiles!"

Shinpei shouted, stepping into the role of commander step by step.

Hearing Zhenping's voice, Haoli obviously calmed down a lot, and hit Longlongshi's body with his right hand.

The tile-splitting effect of the fighting type is very effective against the rumbling stone of the rock type. A small piece of gravel collapsed from his body, but this was nothing to rumbling stone.

"It's not enough to be tough from the front, Rumble Stone's physical defense is too strong, and Haoli's attack is not obvious." Zhenping's brain was running rapidly, and he changed his mind.

Shocked, Zhenping reacted quickly.

"Grab its hand and throw it over your shoulder!"

Breathing quickened, adrenaline pumped, elf and trainer entered fighting stance at the same time.

The Rumbling Stone rolled down from the cave wall, and came crashing violently with the gravitational potential energy brought by the drop. At close range, it was like a rock shell bombarding Haoli with astonishing kinetic energy.

In fact, in addition to his strange strength, Zhenping Haoli also has a good mastery of fighting skills, even surpassing ordinary wild ones.

Haoli's swollen arms saw the right moment, grabbed the two thickest exposed arms of Longlongshi like lightning, and then threw the whole ball over his shoulders, using the opponent's impact force for his own use, and slammed Longlongshi to the ground.

The shoulder throw is particularly effective against rough-skinned and thick-skinned opponents.The blow was effective, Hao Li immediately grasped the feeling, coped with Long Longshi's rough attack with ease, in the eyes of others, it seemed as if he was dancing casually.

With the violent collision sound, the jaw-dropping crackling sound exploded violently. This was the noise coming from Rumble Stone.

The rolling impact of the Rumble Stone didn't work, but it became Haoli's help to severely injure him. The violent beating made the rock elf, whose brain was not well developed, dizzy, wobbling and almost unable to stand still.With its poor brain capacity, I'm afraid it can't figure out the principle of leverage, let alone how Haoli acts as the fulcrum.

However, Shinpei would not fight with Rumbleshi in a turn-based manner. He quickly ordered: "Haoli smashed the tile and hit the joint of Rumbleshi's arm, and at the same time bluntly hit it on the head with his fist. Don't make it react!"

At this moment, Shinpei was extraordinarily excited, and his adrenaline was secreted extremely quickly. His consciousness seemed to be especially suitable for this kind of lightning-like fighting moment.

May I ask, for a stone-like elf, is the external arm the key to it?In any case, the arms are always fragile compared to the round body of rock.

Haoli in front of Longlongshi is like a heavyweight boxer, his fists hissing in the air, and he slams his bow left and right like afterimages, hitting the vital parts of Longlongshi hard, but Longlongshi is like a clumsy sumo wrestler, he is even more clumsy under Haoli's quick hits, and he hasn't hit back a skill for a long time.

Haoli's fighting skills have a very obvious ability to restrain Rumble Stone, and the power of attribute restraint is fully displayed at this moment.Every striker knife can chop off small pieces of gravel from Longlongshi's body, and every powerful blunt blow will cause heavy damage to the inside of his body.

This is a terrible thing for rumblestone, which is a pure rock polymer.It blocked Haoli's hand knife with its head, and retracted its arms at a speed that didn't fit its body shape, and the whole exposed outside was completely presented as a sphere.

"Is this the characteristic of the stone head? The strength of the head even exceeds the strength of the body, so it is very resistant to certain skills that will cause damage." Shinpei immediately reacted. The guy in front of him dared to use his head to pick up the skill. Obviously, he was more confident in the defense and resistance of the head, and the characteristics of the stone brain were undoubtedly revealed.

Long Longshi deftly responded to the enemy with his head, taking advantage of the narrow cave wall to always confront Haoli's hand knife head-on.It made the battle into a state of anxiety. Even with the double restraint of fighting skills, Rumble Stone is an elf who is very good at defense, and a powerful assault is not enough to defeat it immediately.

In reality, the characteristics of the head of the stone head are not only used to offset the damage of first-class anti-injury skills such as sacrificing the body, but also have a significant effect on improving the strength of the elf's body. The body hardness of this rumbling stone is slightly stronger than that of the same kind.

The battle fell into a stalemate, but Zhenping's heart was calmer. His eyes were as cold as ice water, and he calmly gave Haoli an instruction: "Haoli, attack the rock formation at the foot of Longlongshi with a knife, and push Longlongshi into the pit!"

Rumbling stones huddled together seem to have no vital points exposed, but a sphere with a limited rolling effect is most afraid of potholes, which restrict movement.

Hearing this, Hao Li resisted the Rumbling Stone with one hand, and quickly hacked on the ground with the other hand.The hard rock wall in front of the sharp hand knife is no better than biscuits, and soon Haoli dug a hole from the rock formation that is large enough to accommodate part of the rumbling stone, and then pushed it lightly like a bowling ball, and stuffed the part of the rumbling stone in.

The pitch-black Rumble Stone panicked, it immediately stretched out its head and arms and waved around in the air, trying to pull out its own head.But how could Haoli give him this chance? This big muscle tyrant hit Longlongshi exposed on it, and a burst of hand knives slashed at Longlongshi's fragile lower abdomen like the wind.

"This rumbling stone, I think it's male..." Shinpei suddenly remembered something, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere became weird.

The Longlong stone with stone brain characteristics is also very resistant to hitting. After Haoli hit more than a dozen rounds of splitting tiles, the stone lost its ability to resist, and its arms fell weakly on the ground.Obviously lost the ability to fight.

Seeing that Longlongshi no longer resisted, Shinpei was relieved. If he was on the ground, he would not have to be so nervous, but this is deep underground, and a mindless elf like Longlongshi might not be able to think about it. He resorted to a "big bang", and Zhenping in the tunnel had no place to cry if he wanted to.
