Chapter 20: Entrusted conditions reached

With the violent shaking, the stone table in front of Kirito also rotated a circle and then began to sink, and a square area on the ground where the stone table was the center also began to move, and the cloud grabbed Kirito and Ai. Sha's hand ran to the rear abruptly, and shortly after the few people and the skeleton general left, the square ground retreated. And the stone steps one after another also formed a staircase leading down from the wall near them.
The shock disappeared after a while, and Yun and his group looked at each other, before they came to this stone staircase. They looked at the deepest part of the invisible darkness. If they guessed correctly, what they were looking for should be below, but it was also obvious that someone else had discovered the remains of the Skeleton King. It was hidden deliberately, but since there is a clue, it is better than rushing in place.
"It looks like it should be under this one!" Kirito glanced at the hidden mezzanine.
"But it's really weird? Didn't it mean that it was accidentally dropped? How could it be in such a complicated place?" Yun grabbed his hair with his hand and was puzzled.
"Okay! Let's go down and take a look! Maybe someone hid it deliberately?" Aisha patted Yun on the shoulder and signaled him not to think about so many things about mental work, after all, the current cloud is not fully equipped. The strength of this mentality.
"..." General Skeleton just followed him silently and still said nothing. Looking at this somewhat embarrassing atmosphere, Kirito took the lead and walked down the stairs, while Yun and Aisha and General Skeleton followed him.
The long stairs don’t know where it leads, and the clouds in the darkness can only rely on temporary torches in their hands to provide vision. From time to time, they think of the echoing water dripping around. It can be seen that the invisible darkness should be very empty. However, it is this familiar empty space that makes a few people have a bad foreboding, because so far the more empty places are bound to have the possibility of unexpected boss battles.
For example, the first time Kirito and Yun met the wild boss in the forest, or the bone king and the disappeared dragon, always felt that there would be no premonition of good things, just a few people guessed in their hearts, When he was uneasy, Kirito in front had already stepped on the continuous ground. He stopped and raised the torch in his hand to look around.
Seeing the actions of Kirito in front, Yun and Aisha also took the torch in his hand and came to the ground that Kirito was stepping on to search and explore nearby, while the skeleton general in the dark has a natural night vision ability, and now his eyes Seeing everything in this area clearly, when Yun looked back at the skeletal general with a calm face behind him, he walked to his side.
"Could the General Skeleton be able to see the terrain here clearly, right?" Yun looked at the general Skeleton staring at the surroundings intently, feeling novel!
Hearing Yun's inference, Aisha and Tongren turned their heads from the exploration situation, and saw that General Skeleton really seemed to be able to see things clearly in the dark, so they gave up searching and came to them.
"Really? General Skeleton!" Aisha looked at this General Skeleton who was still looking around with a little excitement.
"I think it should be correct, otherwise he wouldn't have been looking around seriously!" Kirito also vaguely felt the important use of General Skeleton, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Your Highness Kirito, if you put the torch in your hand on the torch in front, you should be able to trigger some mechanism!" General Skeleton noticed the three people surrounding him and stretched out his fingers. After seeing the darkness in front of a few people, Kirito, who knew what he meant, walked forward cautiously.
Slowly, he advanced not far, and saw a stone pillar welded on the ground about two heads shorter than himself. Above it was a torch with a hole similar in size to the handle of the torch. He didn't hesitate to insert the torch in his hand, and as soon as he let go, the torch slid a short distance with gravity, and it didn't take long for the entire space to vibrate again.
A lot of firelight began to appear around, and it immediately filled the space. It seems that the flames appeared in the center of the fire on the wall. It seemed that it was artificially brought up, but it was also because of this firelight cloud. I have cleared what this space looks like.
The whole is a huge irregular shaped cave. There are no other things or decorations besides the fire, except for a few people. There is a small step at a distance in front of them. There is a stone platform on it. A strangely shaped and unidentified object, a few people knew at a glance that this thing should be what they were looking for after all the hardships.
When the overjoyed several people were about to go up to take it, the Bone General silently watched the three of them walk forward. He hesitantly raised his hand, but finally put it down and chose to continue following them.
Every minute I approached this thing, there would be some subtle noises around. Although the sound was very small, Yun and Kirito, who had a sense of danger, felt a little unnatural at once. They stopped, and Yun moved behind him. Aisha took her in her arms. Before she could react when she was suddenly hugged Aisha, she held the sickle tightly with her right hand, paying attention to the surrounding situation very vigilantly, and Kirito pulled out at the same time. He held the black sword tightly in his hand, and looked around at the surrounding movement. Similarly, the skeletal general, as he had known it a long time ago, had already drawn out the Nagata sword from his waist in a fighting stance.
"Are there any enemies? Yun?" Aisha asked in a low voice while holding Yun's body tightly.
"Ah! It seems that it is still very troublesome! This feeling of being stared at in secret is really annoying!" Yun remembered the feeling of chills in his back for a moment, and his face was already showing disgust.
"Attention is coming!" The General Skeleton reminded a few people loudly, but as soon as they finished speaking, the wall on the right of the few people broke and made a huge noise, along with a thick whip-like hidden inside the gravel. Things swept towards them, and a few people jumped and escaped the fatal whipping, but they were blown away and scratched a lot by the accompanying storm and gravel, and the few people lost their balance and moved along with the arc of free fall. Falling on the ground in different locations.
The first one to get up was Aisha. Her bruises were relatively light, but it was always accompanied by a trace of pain, and when she turned to look at a few people, she pulled out the wooden stick with some worry and started to restore the people to the yellow blood position. hp.
A few people except General Skeleton climbed up with difficulty. Although they didn’t make a hit, they didn’t fall lightly, especially Yun. If it wasn’t for Yun to hold Aisha in his arms and force herself to bear the weight of the two of them, they would not directly. Fall to the extent of yellow blood.
As several people stood up, the enemy who had attacked them finally revealed its true colors. Although a serpentine snake was several times smaller in size than the previous dragon, it was still quite large for them. Creeps.
There are two blood tubes in "Cave Serpent" lv33. It is an elite mob. It is relieved to see that it is just an elite mob. After all, I have seen two bosses on the way before. One was erased by the system and the other He is still living happily in the hidden area outside, if another boss appears today, I don't know whether it is the broom star possessed or the goddess of luck is taking care of them.
Although it is an elite mob, the destructive power of the tail strike just now cannot be taken lightly. Soon several people returned to their regular lineup. Yun and Kirito fought from left to right, the skeleton general was in the middle to do a meat shield or wandering support, and Aisha It is the auxiliary work of buff and recovery.
Before the cave serpent displayed its supernatural power again, Yun and Kirito left and right with a charge and sword skill to force him to be stiff. When they saw that their sword skills were about to end, the General Skeleton had the opportunity to make up one. The 3hit triple blade dance of the sword system, the red sword skills are radiantly wrapped around the body of Nagata sword, using the standard three-stage knife method of downward splitting and back to the left and right diagonal traverse, which is a bit slow and long release time, It gave Yun and Kirito time to activate the next connection sword skill.
I don’t know why the three of them are very thankful that this NPC’s joining has made their attack formation visibly smoother. This way, the lack of an output wandering action position is supplemented, and Aisha in the auxiliary position can no longer be distracted to focus on herself. It didn’t take long for a more powerful elite monster to get rid of the compulsive rigidity problem except when it first appeared on the stage, but it didn’t completely get rid of the compulsory rigidity problem. It’s just like the first-tier boss. It turned into a polygon and disappeared in the room without a lot of joy.
The long-lost official battle caused several people to sigh uncontrollably, and then looked at this skeletal general who cooperated with them quite tacitly. They couldn't help feeling a touch of relief, whether it was the elite mobs who wanted to use their skills sometimes. The accuracy of the knife is still forced rigidity by skill or ability. The skeleton generals have done quite well, helping a few people to make up for the shortcomings of the team. Now a few people look at it like an old player who takes care of a few novice players. Same respect.
"Um... This is the first time I have met you with eyes like this? So how should I respond to you?" Looking at the eyes of a few people, it looked like many small stars appeared, and the General Skeleton didn't know what to do. It was a bit difficult to deal with these little guys' adoring eyes for a while.
"It's okay! The Bone General is like a senior with us! It feels really good!" Yun squeezed his fist as if full of strength and enthusiasm, and stared at the Bone General with fiery eyes.
"That's right! Whether it is to make up for our gaps in battle or to cooperate with our chain sword skills, it is an outstanding warrior performance!" Kirito also smiled and praised the hesitant General Skeleton.
"I also got a good support environment under the cover of the precise support of General Skeleton! It's really good!" Aisha also nodded. Before, she was busy with supporting tasks and had to help Kirito on the front line. It can be said that Heyun has been very tired through the crisis of hard sword skills. Having General Skeleton to help her share the task of combat support made her a lot easier.
Seeing the enthusiastic care of the few people, General Skeleton accepted the compliments of the others and urged them to complete the task, so they took the lead on the steps ahead, and the General Skeleton laughed as embarrassed. Looks like it follows behind it.
Only a short distance away, a few people surrounded this stone platform. Looking at the strange thing on the stone platform, Kirito clicked on its introduction:
"Strange Long Sword" seems to have been around for quite some time. It was a saber left over after the Skeleton King was defeated and fled, but I don’t know who made it such a ghost in the later stage and hid it in this basement. in.
A few people saw this thing and put it into the inventory. Now that the things that should be needed have been obtained, they left this meaningless basement in a happy mood and returned to the lowest level before, but it may be Because the mechanism in the basement has already been activated, the dark lacquered stairs have become brightly lit. Now if you open it carefully, if you can carefully decorate it, it must be a very good lower palace.
Once at the bottom, Kirito stopped and looked at the map. Several people came to him strangely, wanting to see what he wanted to do.
"What's wrong? Is there something weird?" Yun directly put his chin on Kirito's shoulder, looking a little lazy.
"If you guessed it correctly, this place shows a locked door, and behind it should be the boss room of the labyrinth?" Kirito pointed to a place on this floor that showed only one door, but behind it. But it was pitch black, which surprised several people. They didn't expect that they had obtained the map of the entire maze from the dragon but did not have the information behind the door, so they couldn't help but pay attention.
"I haven't noticed before! There is such a place not far from this place!" Yun finally saw the most suspicious place under Kirito's guidance.
"Why don't we go check it out and hand in the task?" Aisha suggested to several people after reading the map.
"I have no problem!" Yun looked at Kirito and General Skeleton indifferently.
"No problem, after all, I have already received the entrusted props! It is the same for early delivery and late delivery!" General Skeleton nodded without comment. Now that he has obtained important items, he is not as anxious as before.
"Let's go! I also care about this place!" Kirito nodded slightly, and the few people walked to the whole problematic place in unison.
When I got here, it was not as complicated as I imagined. There was nothing left except two stone gates with embossed carvings, two large holes on the left and right, plus a torch on the side. Several people tried to open the stone gate, but it still didn’t move. , It seems that its mechanism has not been found, and the permanent right of passage granted before has no effect on it.
After searching for a while to no avail, the few people temporarily gave up the idea of ​​opening the door.
"It looks like this can only be opened by an independent agency!" Kirito analyzed it objectively.
"Maybe! Forget it, let's finish the task first and slowly think about how to open it!" Yun didn't understand, so he directly suggested several people to complete the commission first and get the reward.
The few people also agreed to turn around and walked back to the original path. The wild monsters had been refreshed along the way, but they could not stop the pace of the return of the few people. They had returned to the top level belonging to the bone general field. Following the lead of the General Skeleton, they once again returned to the familiar hidden area and palace, still sitting on the throne, while a panicked Skeleton King did not notice that several people had already come to it...
