Chapter 37: Demonic Sound

While we were wondering, we suddenly found the sound of horse hooves behind us. When we turned around, we found that the three-minded cavalry was rushing along the avenue. I knew the vanguard of the cavalry, the small team leader I just met in the city lord's mansion. They immediately shouted after seeing us, and we watched them rush to us in confusion. The captain immediately jumped down and pulled out a scroll from his armor and handed it to me. "It's good that I caught up."

"What's this?"

"That's right." The cavalry captain explained: "Because several of us just came to inquire about the task that the team took on, our city lord recalled the task that was released at that time. However, after talking to you, he felt something was wrong, so he checked some written records and found that he had sent the wrong task."

"What? Send the wrong task?"

"Yes." The captain said angrily: "It's almost the careless secretary. The city lord is tasked with finding high-level iron ore, but the secretary got the wrong task scroll. This is their scroll."

Zhenhong approached and asked, "What mission are they taking?"

"Our City Lord checked the task record, but found that what was taken away was the task of looking for the Stone of Blessings. This task could not be completed with the personnel quality of that team. Although the secretary had received the punishment, the problem was that the team had already set off, so the City Lord hoped that you could save them if possible. I would go back and report and say goodbye." The team leader and his subordinates ran away hurriedly.

Jin Qin said: "I said why did I give such a fatal task to such a small guild? I have been doing it for a long time and sent the wrong task."

I thought for a while and said, "I think it's not the case, because the system doesn't know that we will come to find these people two days after the task is issued, so it's impossible to imagine our rescue when we sent the task before. The system will not release unfinished tasks. Based on this situation, it is inferred that the original setting should be possible. So I think this is probably the case. They received this task first, but the difficulty is a little bit high, and it is very likely that they will encounter special situations such as the Earth Demon being not at home. In this way, the task can be completed. However, because of our sudden appearance, the difficulty of the task has increased. The city lord sent a new task scroll to indicate that we were also included. In this way, the difficulty of the task is calculated based on our comprehensive strength. If I am here, the difficulty of the task will probably rise to an unimaginable level."

Crystal Flame also said: "The openness of Zero is too high. Many players use a few people to apply for tasks and then lead large groups of people to do tasks to take advantage of the system. As a result, the system will temporarily increase the difficulty and cause trouble to make those people dirty. I think the system considers us as foreign players this time. I have never encountered such a high-intelligent main system before, and can actually take advantage of the player loopholes."

In the past, online games were players trying to use system bugs to exploit loopholes. Since the IQ of the landlord system in Zero was too high, this situation turned out to be reversed. The system's intelligence has surpassed humans, and it is impossible to exploit loopholes. Although there are still bugs in this system, as long as you use bugs, you will definitely be discovered. The main system will immediately modify the data and make up for bugs, and at the same time take special measures to offset the effects caused by bugs. For example, a player used to discover a place called the forest holy land that can make lucky values, and it is a permanent lucky value, which will not be automatically eliminated due to long time. The bug was filled within three hours after he used it. Later, he was encountered a system that set it to him for a task, but he was hit in the super curse technique in the task, and all the luck that was brushed was cursed back, which was equivalent to not brushing anything.

In fact, the system is quite reasonable. He allows others to use bugs. But it cannot be overdoing it. As long as it does not exaggerate, he will generally let you use this bug once as a reward for finding bugs. However, if that guy swipes luck for more than 100 yuan, it is a typical lack of greed.

No matter what, now we are counted in the mission, if we don’t hurry up and support, the chances of the team’s survival are infinitely close to zero.

"What should I do now?" Jinzi asked me.

"Go and save people. What else can you do!"

Since we knew the route in advance, we were moving forward very quickly and we soon arrived at the gate of the Earth Demon Grotto. This was actually a small cave, nothing special. However, because there were no animals nearby, I judged that there were indeed troublesome things here. However, when we were about to go in, we suddenly heard a messy throat scream from the cave, and it was obviously coming towards the entrance.

"Be careful, everyone." I reminded me and put on a defensive posture, and everyone else was also ready to defend. In fact, the only ones who could fight here were me, really red, gold coins and crystal flames. Bingbing is a pure auxiliary system, and Bingling's combat ability can be ignored. No matter how you think of the organ of Crystal Princess's organ, it doesn't look like you can fight.

Just as everyone was about to defend against the attack, the sound finally reached the entrance of the cave. Because the light outside was good, the inside looked relatively dark, and we couldn't see clearly what was happening inside. We could only judge from the sound that the other party was approaching. Suddenly, a large group of monsters rushed out of the darkness at the entrance of the cave. Most of these things were upright creatures walking on two legs, but their figures and heads were all kinds of strange heads. The monsters were tall, short, fat and thin. Their shoulders were all kinds of strange heads. The heads of these monsters did not look like mammals. Instead, they looked like some kind of bird. There were a wide and sharp mouth in front of the round heads. Of course, not all monsters had the same heads. A few monsters also had heads that looked like insects or strange shapes.

The monsters are not naked. They are all wearing clothes. Most of the short monsters are surrounded by animal skins around their waists, while taller and stronger monsters usually have tops, a few have shoes, pants, and even scarves. In addition to clothes, the monsters also have weapons. Although most of them only hold rusty broken swords, they have weapons after all, and a few monsters also carry shiny high-end weapons.

At first sight, we were really shocked when we saw so many monsters rushing over. We immediately moved closer to each other to form a defense circle, protecting Bingbing and Crystal Princess who could not directly participate in the battle. However, just as we were careful and ready to start fighting, the monsters ran past us as if we were not there. Some monsters were running while waving their arms, as if they were crazy.

We all stood there stupidly, watching nearly ten thousand monsters rushing past us, none of them wanted to attack us. Zhenhong and Jinzi looked at me with inexplicable expressions, and I could only respond to them with a confused expression.

"This...? What's going on?" Bingling asked.

I said with uncertainty: "It seems they are running away from something, and there may be stronger monsters chasing them."

"Can it be that Earth Demon?" Jin Coin asked.

"Is it unlikely?" Zhenhong said: "If the Earth Demon is so powerful, why do those monsters enter the cave? If they take the initiative to attack the Earth Demon, they shouldn't have been so embarrassed, right?"

I nodded and said, "Those monsters don't look like they are here to attack the land, they are like the men of the Earth Demon."

Bingbing thought, "Then what she said might be...what would be...?"

"That guild?" we almost shouted out together.

"Is it unlikely?" He began to doubt as soon as he called out the gold coins. "Do they have this ability?"

Zhenhong also said: "The possibility of NPC monsters running away is very low, and it is even rarer when defending their nests. Who has ever seen the other party run away with his younger brother when fighting the boss?"

"It's better to go in and take a look here," Bingling suggested.

We adopted this suggestion and began to walk carefully into the hole. We couldn't see clearly just now because the light difference was too big, so we felt much better when we came in. The hole was actually still full of brightness, at least it did not affect our observation of the surrounding environment.

The cave is a very ordinary hole. It is about ten meters wide and a height of about four meters. There are many forks in the cave, but when it is interspersed, it is actually the same as it takes. The entire cave is extending downwards, and the slope is not large. However, when you walk down like this, the bottom of the hole will probably be quite deep.

As we were walking, a strange sound suddenly came from the front. Judging from the figure, it was that kind of monster again, and this time it was even larger. It was mixed with echoes from the cave. It sounded quite messy. Zhenhong frowned and said, "Why does this sound sound like a crying sound?"

"I listen, too." Bingbing agreed.

As the sound got closer, I quickly asked everyone to lean on the cave wall to form a defense circle again, but obviously our actions were in vain. These monsters, like the previous group, ran past us like transparent people. However, these monsters also had different parts from the previous group, mainly because they were more embarrassed, and they threw away their armor one by one, and they were thrown away all the way. Moreover, when they passed by us, we could hear their crying more clearly, and vaguely hear some of the monsters shouting "Help" in strange tone.

We were even more inexplicable. What made them so embarrassed? It would be nothing more than to throw away their armor and armor. We had to shout for help. Moreover, although these monsters seem to be not very strong, these two groups have already run over more than 20,000. If they unite, they should be a very terrible force. What is so cruel? It is much more difficult to scare away 20,000 monsters than to defeat them. The power of this deterrent is definitely very strong.

After the monsters passed, we began to continue walking forward. Not long after we got away, we encountered a relatively large space, but there was no one here. In such a huge crypt space, there was no personal hair except a downward stair entrance in the center. However, the ground was full of discarded equipment, which made it very chaotic. Look at the style of those equipment. It was probably left by the group of monsters just now. It might also be left by the previous monsters.

We quickly reached the entrance of the lower crypt, and then went down a dozen meters long stairs to enter a new earth space. There was the same passage here. We had to continue moving forward. Not far away, we encountered the third wave of monsters, which was more numerous than the sum of the previous two gangs, and the embarrassment was greater than the previous two teams.

Jin Coin sighed: "Good guy, it's over 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. What's so awesome inside?"

Zhenhong said: "If you meet again, just catch a prisoner and ask how about it?"

It seemed as if it was to respond to Zhenhong's call to send us prisoners, and then three more monsters ran over crying. This kind of single three-person team was a waste not to catch them. Zhenhong and I, as well as gold coins, caught one of them. The monsters' strength was around 700 and their combat power was already quite strong, but they did not pose a threat to us masters. The three monsters were quickly subdued, but they seemed very excited and could not calm down.

"What's going on?" Zhenhong kicked the monster beside her who was tied into rice dumplings. "This seems to be mentally ill."

"Me too." Jin Qin gave up the interrogation helplessly.

I threw what I caught onto the ground, and then used eternity to cut a long bloody hole on his arm. The severe pain really restored the guy to a little bit of rationality. He stopped screaming in a crazy throat. But as soon as he recovered, he immediately started shouting: "Let me go, let me go, please don't let me stay, let me go!"

We were all confused by his words. Why did this monster react so much?

Because we were still dazed by his performance, the monster thought we were unwilling to let him go, so he immediately changed his words: "If you don't want to let me go, then be a good person and kill me? Please, kill me quickly? I don't want to hear that sound anymore, please!"

"It's okay to let us let you go, tell us what exactly is it that makes you run away so crazy?"

"It's the magic sound!" The monster immediately cried and replied, "Those people are even more terrifying than our monsters. Their magic sound is really powerful! Please. Let me go or kill me soon? I don't want to be here! Please."

Instead of answering him, I continued to ask, "Tell us who are there?"

"In addition to those ten outsiders, there are more than thirty guards, and our king is still below."

“How far is it from here below?”

"You'll be there when you walk to the bottom."

"Okay. You can get out." I picked him up and threw him out. The monster ran out and ran out. The other two monsters who were still experiencing nerves were solved by Zhenhong and gold coins. Experience values ​​were provided without providing information, which was very fair.

I said to Bingbing and the four magic sound masters with some excitement: "It seems that the allies we are going to fight for are very powerful!"

Bingbing also smiled and said, "Yes! The super magic sound that can scare away tens of thousands of monsters must be very strong. Moreover, the other party seems to be using offensive magic sound, which is exactly the part we are missing."

Bingling has a different view. "I don't think it's an aggressive magic sound, maybe it's a mental system. For example, the fear technique can also achieve such an effect. At this time, this fear technique is obviously very powerful, and it can scare away monsters at about seven hundred levels."

Princess Crystal suddenly said timidly: "I have a little different view."

"Tell me," I asked her with a smile.

Crystal Princess thought for a while and said, "I know there is a difference between players, but I am also a high-level magic sound master after all. It's hard for me to imagine that anyone's magic sound can be so strong."

Jin Qin said: "But that monster clearly said it was because of Mo Yin?"

"So I find it strange, too." Princess Crystal replied.

"It's not far anyway, go down and take a look." I took the lead in walking into the depths of the crypt.

Just as the monster said, it was indeed not far from the bottom of the cave. We soon reached the deepest part of the passage, where there was indeed a downward staircase, and there was a layer of magic barrier that was faintly visible at the entrance of the staircase. After a little reconnaissance with magic power, this seemed to be an ordinary defensive barrier, as if it was a sound insulation barrier. Since there was no danger, we boldly walked through it.

Walking in front, I passed through the barrier first, and as soon as I came over, I immediately didn't wrinkle. I instantly understood the pain of the monsters just now. And it was obvious that we misunderstood the meaning of the monster. There was indeed a powerful magic sound here. But it was not magic music, but the sound of the devil.

"Damn. No matter who you are, stop me immediately." I started screaming before I could see the situation in the crypt, and rushing down while covering my ears, wanting to see which bastard was making fun of it.

The entire lower crypt was filled with this unpleasant but harsh sound, the sound that was as ups and downs as music but had no sense of beauty at all, was even more noisy than noise. This sound was like the sound of using metal to scrape porcelain or glass, and the listeners felt furious. The hairs on my body almost instantly stood upside down, and a wave of nausea turned up from my stomach. "Vomit..." I vomited before I rushed down the stairs. Fortunately, I didn't wear a helmet to speak on the road, and it felt bad to vomit in the mask.

Zhenhong, who followed me, was so surprised that she actually rolled down the stairs. It was possible to imagine the destructive power of this sound that could make a martial arts master who was mainly training below the plate to lose his balance and roll the stairs. To say that it was a magic sound was simply praising it. This sound was a hundred times more terrifying than magic sound. Zhenhong rolled all the way to the middle of the stairs and was held by me, but when she saw that she was looking like she was about to hang up.

The girls behind them entered the sound insulation barrier together, but they turned around and ran out almost in a consistent manner. Damn, why am I so stupid! I shouldn't have rushed down at that time, but should have retreated to it. There was no way to fight normally in this deadly sound, and the guy who made the noise had no response to my throat just now, and I don't know if he didn't plan to pay attention to me or didn't hear it.

"Zhenhong, are you okay? I will take you out." I forced Zhenhong to hold her out, and as soon as I passed the barrier, I collapsed to the ground. "Huh, it's really a life-threatening! Your magic sound can only kill people. This sound is simply a matter of life. Can you create a soundproof barrier for gold coins? Add one to each of our ears. If this continues, you will have to be neurasthenized by the sound."

Zhenhong said to Jincoin weakly: "Do you have dizziness medicine? I'm dizzy and the whole world is moving."

Jin Coin gave Zhenhong medicine, and then said to me: "This is the level of those two people in the information? It must be a limit if it sounds ugly!"

Crystal Flame also said: "That's it! The intelligence collector also said that the other party's strength is very good. Is this considered good strength?"

Bingling said: "In a sense, music is unheard to a certain extent, it can be considered one of the manifestations of strength, right?"

Bingbing shook her head and said, "No, right? The sound I heard just now is so ugly, it is not made by the musical instruments. The Qingxin and Mingjing used the Guzheng and the Pipa. No matter how much these two pieces are traditional musical instruments in our country. Even if you find someone who can't play it, it will be untuned. You will never make such a sound, right?"

I remembered it when Bingbing said this. "Yes! That's not the sound of a musical instrument at all. It sounds like a kind of metal friction sound, as if there were still people talking inside. Could it be that the source of the sound was the Earth Demon? But it was wrong! If it were the Earth Demon, those monsters that ran out were all his subordinates. He should have known that he had this ability, so why did he scare them away now?"

"I'm so dizzy." Jin Qin said: "Is there a third team below?"

"It is unlikely that the mission area will generally not allow two teams to appear at the same time." Crystal Flame said.

Bingling immediately said: "But the problem is that this is not their task at all. They came here after getting the wrong scroll."
Chapter completed!
