Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 189 There is a hidden road below
After being resurrected, Li Miao stood on the edge of the cliff, looked across the bloody wooden bridge, then looked at the thick fog below, and touched his chin thoughtfully.

The game experience of prison players told him that the cave he saw when his soul was led up just now should not be an illusion.

I guess there really is some hidden map or something under this cliff.

However, when he was just resurrected, he was teleported out for a walk. Although other players also mentioned it, they still didn't know how to enter it.

There are even many players who have jumped over the cliff many times but still haven't found a way to get in.

So most people have put it aside for now and continue exploring.

Li Miao had also planned to withdraw.

But when he looked at the audience on the podium opposite, he suddenly had a bold idea.

Since it is impossible to reach that place by normal cliff jumping, does it mean that certain necessary conditions are required?
Like...flying?
Thinking of this, Li Miao couldn't help but think of an interesting thing.

Normally speaking, a suffering open world combat game like Lingzhu would most likely not provide skills related to flying.

However, some players discovered that Mage Burton's shop actually sells flying magic called [Mitres Sky Spell].

It was a charcoal-grade spell, which made the mage players very happy. Some of them were even considering issues related to game balance.

Although Mage Burton warned them that this spell would not be used most of the time and might not be very practical for them, how could these proud and rebellious players listen to his advice?

So, after a certain unlucky player saved up money to buy the spell, the result was disappointing.

This thing consumes too much magic power!
Some mage players didn't even get any response when they started chanting the spell, and then they realized that their mental strength was not enough to support the initial consumption of the spell...

In this regard, some players also asked the NPCs, and the explanation given by Mage Burton and the Candle Keeper was more tactful - "Candle Spirit warriors are different from ordinary people."

In other words, the blue bar cap is not enough.

However, when the unbelieving mage player added all the blue bars to the attributes, he discovered that this spell consumed a lot of energy, and when it was used, it was equivalent to casting a spell, and he couldn't use the recovery wax block...

But despite this, if the mana bar is high enough, you can still take off for a certain distance... roughly equivalent to a double jump, which is not bad.

Of course, you have to be careful when the magic effect disappears, otherwise you may fall to death.

While players feel regretful, they also understand it. It's just a walking chicken character with myasthenia gravis. It's normal and they're used to it.

[Mitres Sky Spell] is therefore nicknamed "Blue Bar Pole Vault" by players.

After this incident, many players naturally tacitly accepted one thing, that is, the game Lingzhu probably would not allow players to have the ability to fly...

Closer to home.

Although the "blue bar pole vault" is a bit clownish, it is still useful sometimes.

If it were the current situation, Li Miao might be able to use this magic to enter the cave while falling.

Of course, you have to get the timing right, which is much more difficult than jumping off a lift.

But unfortunately, Li Miao didn't even have the chance to seize the opportunity.

His spirit value has not exceeded ten points yet.

However, although Li Miao cannot fly, there is a small monster on the opposite side that can fly!

If I could lure that flying monster over and use it as a parachute, maybe I could find a chance to enter that hidden cave.

Thinking of this, Li Miao became somewhat interested.

Although this method has many loopholes, some ideas are difficult to dispel once they come up.

"Whatever, try it!"

Li Miao gritted his teeth, rolled up his sleeves and put his idea into action.

Go up the bridge, lure the monster, grab its feet, all in one go.

Wow!
It was unclear whether the audience on the high platform with wings were mute or not. Although they looked extremely ferocious, they did not make any strange noises.

But its eyes were red and it tried frantically to attack the guy who grabbed its feet.

"Oh! Oh! Wuhu——"

Li Miao's pupils also contracted and he exclaimed.

In the chaos, a man and a monster fell rapidly.

Although Li Miao was not hurt, he felt very disappointed.

Even though the audience on the high platform were flapping their wings, they could not stop their falling trend!

At most, it falls a little slower.

This idea is really unreliable...

Just when Li Miao was about to give up resistance, they passed through the thick fog and suddenly caught a glimpse of dense blood-red vines clinging to the cliff below.

This made his eyes light up.

Then he made a choice in a split second with the fastest reaction speed, and exerted all his strength to swing his center of gravity toward the cliff.

The audience on the high platform were affected by such weight and their bodies inevitably tilted.

It's now!

Li Miao stretched out his hand without hesitation and grabbed the bloody vine fiercely.

Wow!
In an instant, a cloud of blood-colored soil fell down, and large pieces of vines were fallen off due to Li Miao's huge weight.

But the vines below were growing thicker and denser.

Finally, the vines stopped falling off and Li Miao's falling trend also stopped.

"Huh...huh..."

"Fuck...ha...exciting...really fucking exciting..."

Li Miao's pupils gradually recovered, and he was breathing heavily, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

Lingzhu is still better, it’s much more fun than Earth OL.

After recovering for a while, Li Miao began to observe his surroundings, but the first thing he noticed was that the feeling in his hand was a little bit wrong.

Upon closer inspection, his pupils, which had just relaxed, suddenly contracted again.

This is not a "vine" at all. It is clearly a bunch of bloody intestines connected to each other, with some things that look like thorns on it.

No wonder it feels sticky, damn!
Li Miao felt sick, but he was not stupid enough to let go. Instead, he looked around, observing the location of the cave.

Li Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the guidance of the stone platform and spirit candle on the lower left.

After lighting the spirit candle, Li Miao stood on the slightly protruding stone platform in the middle of the cliff and observed the cave and the surrounding environment.

Above was a thick fog, obscuring the sky.

In front of him was a pitch-black cave with a faint blood color. Several thick blood intestines extended from the cave, clinging to the rock wall, constantly splitting and spreading in all directions.

“Ahahahahahaha…”

“Woohoooo ...

There were bursts of strange sounds coming from the cave, like wailing and crying, or singing and clapping with joy, which made people feel creepy.

Sure enough, he was not mistaken. The sound he heard when he first entered the dungeon came from this cave.

Go in and have a look.

Li Miao, who had put on his equipment again, took a deep breath and then stepped in.

However, an invisible force rejected him and pushed him back violently.

【An unknown force has denied you entry. 】

[You need to meet certain conditions to enter. ]

"..."

Li Miao was silent.

He felt as if his nose had turned into a round red...

I've become a clown. No wonder it's so hard to get in here, it feels like you need to meet the prerequisites...

However, it is not bad to light a candle, so I don’t have to bother with it next time.

While Li Miao was comforting himself in his heart, he searched around without giving up.

After confirming that nothing was missed, he reluctantly spent some wax to teleport it up again.

After staring at the single-plank bridge quietly for a while.

He suddenly seemed to think of something, bent down, and left a wax mark.

[There is a hidden road below, it's time to fly the monster! ]

After doing this, Li Miao brushed off the dirt on his hands and raised the corners of his mouth.

……

Li Miao came to the other side of the single-plank bridge, put his hands on his hips and looked around with a refreshed look. Behind him were the bodies of a group of listeners on the platform that were gradually disappearing.

Since the hidden road below was blocked, he naturally had no choice but to take the single-plank bridge.

In fact, the single-plank bridge is not difficult to cross. As long as you are not scared by the sudden appearance of the eyeball hand and make a sound, you can cross it safely without attracting the audience on the platform.

"Why is it still an empty island?"

After walking around, the corner of his mouth twitched and he was speechless.

However, no matter how empty the island is, there is still a road ahead. This time it is not a single-plank bridge, but a spacious stone bridge that looks quite artistic.

In front of the stone bridge are the milestone spirit candles and an ordinary-looking brazier.

When Li Miao approached, the brazier ignited with a crackling sound, and a string of messages appeared in the orange-yellow flames.

【Listeners from afar, welcome to the Quiet High Stage to listen to my performance. 】

[However, please keep quiet as soon as possible. Only in this way can you hear the most beautiful music. ]

【Please follow the message and take a seat in the audience. 】

【Courteous Stone Bridge】

"Listeners... Was the message written by the boss of this instance?"

"I think the name of this bridge should be Protocol Stone Bridge..."

Li Miao thought secretly in his heart.

The next moment, he seemed to sense something and looked up. Unexpectedly, a clear, bright moon appeared in the sky, which made him feel peaceful.

The clouds in the night sky seemed to begin to move gradually.

'Is there normal weather in this place?'

Li Miao frowned slightly, instinctively realizing that something was wrong.

Instead of moving forward rashly, he took out some cheap props such as pathfinders and began to explore the way carefully.

But it seemed that he was worrying too much, there was nothing unusual on the bridge.

Li Miao stepped onto the protocol stone bridge with some suspicion, but he did not let his guard down.

As they gradually passed the halfway point of the journey, two sitting "platform audiences" suddenly appeared on both sides of the stone bridge. They stared at the bridgehead quietly, as if welcoming every visitor, and had no intention of attacking Li Miao at all.

Despite his doubts, Li Miao had no choice but to move forward.

It was not until halfway through the journey that the changes began to escalate.

The space suddenly twisted, blood appeared, and all the surrounding environment changed rapidly at this moment.

The originally clear and tranquil full moon suddenly turned into a scarlet full moon, as if it would drip blood in the next moment.

The stone bridge under his feet turned into pieces of hard bones with blood stains, and vines of intestines crawled out of the guardrails. The two pillars on the opposite side of the bridge were each connected to a floating eyeball, like a venomous snake swimming in the air, staring straight at him...

A faint laughter sounded in my mind, but my ears did not hear any sound.

Crunch.

The two audience members on the platform were already furious. They twisted their necks and fixed their eyes on Li Miao.

"he he he he he……"

“It sounds good! It sounds good!!!”

This time, the two audience members on the platform opened their bloody mouths and clapped their hands to express their joy. The blood from the corners of their mouths stained their hair and dripped onto the ground...

[You are infected by madness, the upper limit of mental value is -1, and abnormal progress is accumulating...]

Before Li Miao could react, a blurry bloody figure gathered and rushed towards him.

"Worthy!"

This sudden scene frightened Li Miao so much that he was terrified. He subconsciously raised his Frost Lance and struck hard at the bloody figure that suddenly appeared in his face.

Swish.

The ice-blue traces of the charge seemed to have cut through the blood just now, and everything quickly returned to its original state as if time had gone back.

Swish!
As if because they heard the sound, the two audience members on the podium turned their heads in unison and stared at him with calm eyes, but their appearance was not as terrifying as before.

It seemed that they turned their heads because Li Miao made a strange noise.

The Protocol Stone Bridge is still the quiet Protocol Stone Bridge, as if nothing had happened.

"This……"

Li Miao put away his Frost Lance, feeling a little confused.

The scene just now was... an illusion-like magic?
Crazy infection...same as the seaside town, but why is there an illusion?
Is the "crazy" here more advanced?
However, after a careful investigation, Li Miao found nothing.

At least there is a lighthouse in the coastal town, but on this courtesy stone bridge...

Even the two audience members on the podium were dealt with by him, but he still couldn't find the reason for the situation just now. It was very strange.

"strangeness……"

Li Miao secretly took note of what had just happened and became more alert.

It is possible that some terrible monster is secretly influencing...

This made him observe his surroundings very carefully in his subsequent actions.

But he was soon surprised to find that there was not only no scary boss on the road after the Protocol Stone Bridge, there wasn't even a single small monster. The environment was empty and dead silent, which was frightening.

But no matter what, Li Miao successfully passed the protocol stone bridge and lit the spirit candle.

After passing the protocol stone bridge, the "empty island" that could be seen at a glance was no longer in front of us. Some dilapidated stone houses appeared in front of us, but it seemed that no one had lived in them for a long time.

There are quite a few branches among them, some of which even lead to unknown places below.

Just when Master Li, who was suffering from decision-making difficulty, was thinking about which path to choose.

The blood color reappears again.

This time, the situation is even more dire.

The sudden blood moon in the sky, buildings formed by flesh tissue, and extremely eye-catching monsters.

On the ground, there is a big mouth shaped like a big mouth, full of sharp and black teeth. The [Mouth of Madness] seems to be crying and laughing, just like a vicious dog.

In the corner, the [audience on the high platform] looked straight up to the highest point, where the largest building was located, with their heads slightly lowered, as if they were on a pilgrimage.

A small eyeball monster [Torn Eyeball] with roots on the back of the eyeball was floating in the air, seemingly on patrol.

The [Pale Zombie], whose abdomen and chest were connected by only a few blood threads, also walked back and forth aimlessly...

There were also some monsters whose information Li Miao couldn't see clearly, mixed with the blood.

Everything before my eyes was like a bloody hell.
