Chapter 1418: Chapter 1303: Hidden Space (Two in One)_2
But to his surprise, when these people arrived at a fork in the road, they actually split up.
One group took the left passage while others took the opposite one. Su Ran found this quite unexpected; the guy leading was extremely cautious!
Left with no choice, Su Ran had to summon his avatar, the Dark Bone Eagle, to follow them separately, curious to see what was so special about being so discreet.
However,
just as Su Ran was pondering this, the small troop in front of him was enveloped in a great light and vanished before his eyes.
"Teleported? Have they reached a special terrain already?"
Su Ran dared not take the risk himself and summoned Wang Cai to the spot where these people disappeared, yet it didn’t trigger any teleportation effect. Seeing this, he immediately switched his gaze to the Dark Bone Eagle avatar, and that’s when he noticed that the group of players who had disappeared reappeared in the other passage.
"So they were summoned over there. I almost got fooled!"
Su Ran was shocked by their anti-tracking methods and immediately set off toward the other passage.
What he hadn’t expected was that the group once again split into two teams, each moving in different directions.
Now, this was problematic.
Su Ran was at his wit’s end, as his true self wasn’t there yet. He had to place his hopes on the 50% chance and instructed the Dark Bone Eagle to pursue one of the passages. Riding on Wang Cai’s back, he burst into full speed and disappeared into the darkness in a moment.
With his deft control, Su Ran added an extra point of speed to Wang Cai, his advantage fully displayed.
Fortunately, Su Ran’s gamble paid off. Through the Dark Bone Eagle’s vision, he discovered that this group had subsequently crawled into a hidden cave entrance and quickly vanished from sight.
"Damn, so there’s a passage here too, and it’s so well-hidden!"
Arriving at the spot on his dog, Su Ran couldn’t help but marvel as he gazed at the cave mouth concealed by weeds, pondering that even if he searched for a year, he wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual. Whoever found this hidden terrain must be a genius!
After retracting his avatar and Wang Cai, Su Ran carefully made his way into the interior, feeling as awkward as if he were crawling into a dog hole.
Inside, Su Ran realized it was a three-way fork, and the group he had followed was nowhere to be seen.
"This is the kind of situation that would drive anyone with decision-making issues crazy!"
Exhaling a sigh, Su Ran summoned the Dark Bone Eagle again and randomly chose a path to dart into.
...
"Bro, you’re being too cautious. There’s not a soul in this underground space, and we’re wasting Summoning Scrolls. Isn’t this redundant?"
"What do you know? Caution ensures a long safe journey. As long as this hidden space isn’t exposed, it will always belong to us!"
The leader of the warrior players spoke with a grave expression, his voice stern, "This time, we must topple that BOSS!"
"But we’ve killed several BOSSes already and didn’t get any equipment or experience. Could it be fake BOSSes?"
"Even if they’re fake, we must kill them. If we miss out on a real one, we’ll regret it too late! Let’s go, aim to take down three BOSSes today. The potions we brought should be enough!"
As everyone was gearing up to move out, a player at the back glanced unintentionally at the path behind them, only to catch sight of the approaching Dark Bone Eagle, and was taken aback.
"Look, there are creatures spawning behind us!"
"What?"
"Damn, it’s a bone eagle. That’s not right. Why would an Undead creature spawn in the territory of the God Race?"
"That’s strange, why does this bone eagle look so familiar?"
The team leader scrutinized the Dark Bone Eagle for a moment before reacting, urgently saying, "Go quickly, Overturning Water is here!"
"Oh no, how did he find this place?"
"Let’s hurry, we’re no match for him. We can’t let him find us!"
"It’s fine, with so many diverging paths, let’s see if he can find us by luck!"
"Little Grey, you stay behind and block this bone eagle, you’ll get a share of the loot once the BOSS drops it!"
After finishing, the team leader led the others and hurriedly left the place, leaving only the mage player called Little Grey at the entrance, waiting for the bone eagle to arrive.
"Pfft, just because I picked a name that screams ’cannon fodder,’ I always get picked for these suicide missions. I despise you guys!"
Cannon Fodder helplessly pouted his lips, wishing he’d never chosen such a crappy name...
However.
To his surprise, the Dark Bone Eagle actually turned a corner and left.
"What’s the meaning of this? Got scared off by my imposing presence?"
Cannon Fodder was a bit stunned; he had braced himself for certain death, but unexpectedly, he dramatically survived.
At this moment, he didn’t dare to stay any longer, chasing after his distant team, afraid of meeting Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained in person; if he did, not even a hundred lives would be enough for him!
It wasn’t long before Su Ran strode into the scene. He had no intention of hunting down these people; instead, he stared blankly at several passages.
"You’ve got to be kidding me, why are they all etched with suns? Isn’t this deliberately making things difficult?"
Su Ran felt like he’d been duped by the system, but from these sun patterns, it wasn’t hard to guess that the secret chamber was hidden right here. Narrowing down such a large scope could also be considered lucky.
But then again, thanks to these pathfinder players, he was able to find the hiding place of the secret chamber with ease. The system, that little brat, really hid it deep!
Su Ran wasn’t anxious about those players who had gone further in; even if those guys got there first, they wouldn’t be able to get the treasure of the secret chamber. After all, these six gems weren’t just for show!
"Ah well, might as well start the search from the beginning. I’m just destined to toil..."
He sighed and entered the first space in order. After taking a look around, he turned and left, as the terrain here bore no resemblance to what was marked on the map, clearly not the secret chamber he was seeking.
With the map’s guidance, Su Ran’s search was much more efficient; in no time, he had already checked several passages.
"I’m already at the seventh passage, when will there be an end to this?"
After several bouts of vain hope, Su Ran was growing impatient, but as he entered the seventh passage, he unexpectedly heard the sounds of fierce fighting.
"So they are here!"
Not wanting to disturb the players, Su Ran summoned Wang Cai, hid their presence, and then charged into the space without any concern.
"Huff, puff!"
A wild boar with dark skin and a robust figure entered Su Ran’s view. The boar was crashing around in the crowd, and the players were dodging in complete disarray; one inattentive moment and they were sent flying, their screams echoing through the entire space.
"Hey, even the God Race is raising pigs with pork prices shooting up. Tsk, tsk, all that muscle, must be quite the chew!"
Su Ran’s eyes gleamed as he stared at the wild boar, and the saliva would have been drooling if the conditions had been right.
"Even for pigs, birth determines strength and status. Born in the newbie map, you’re just meat to be slaughtered; born in the Celestial Realm, not even so many people can do anything to you; born in heaven, and you’re the Tianpeng Marshal."
He watched the battle briefly and soon lost interest. He scanned the surroundings carefully.
Unfortunately, this still wasn’t the place he was looking for, and his eyes filled with disappointment.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, he unexpectedly noticed a wooden door on a stone wall not far ahead. The door’s color clashed with the wall, sticking out like a sore thumb, making it hard to miss.
Su Ran glanced at the players battling intensely and decided to take a risk. Even if they discovered him, it didn’t matter. With the boar brother causing a distraction, it would be easy to shake them off.
"Screech."
Approaching the wooden door, Su Ran didn’t hesitate to open it. Before he could even see what secrets lay within, countless wild boars charged out. Without any command from Su Ran, Wang Cai immediately fled to the side, unwilling to face the charge of the boars.
For a majestic Platinum Artifact Beast to be this frightened, one could imagine how terrifying the onslaught of these wild boars must have been.
"Holy shit, a pigsty!"
Su Ran watched the frenzy of wild boars with an odd expression, then looked back at the distant players and felt a bit cruel...
