Chapter 60 The cold light in the black city (1)

"Joel, what 'special skills' have you possessed so far?"

After struggling through the corridor full of ice crystals, in order to drive away the cold, the four of them dug down the white frost on the wall and found a room, then went inside and started a fire with decaying wooden furniture.

And at this moment, Aleya asked Joel.

"Mr. Joel's words should be mastered many practical stunts, right?" Feiyu, who was in charge of the guard at the door, also turned his head curiously and asked. When he met Aleya's gaze, he immediately turned his head and continued to stare at the movement outside the door.

Joel stared at the fire, and the room was full of ash and smoke at this moment. Fortunately, the flames finally ignited, and the flames were beating in the dark and smoke. They stayed in such a dark and cold environment for a long time. Once they calmed down, people would stare at the warm fire and couldn't take their eyes off. "I don't know." Joel replied softly. He pulled up his hood to cover his face, took off his mask and put it next to his hands. After all, the air below was thin and turbid, and wearing a mask made him feel even more uncomfortable. But after all, he still knew that the burns on his face were terrifying, so he usually tried to cover it with a mask.

"You can try to call out the 'skill panel', it should be fine for you now?" Aleya sat opposite Joel's fire, holding her knees with her hands, and trying to wrap her body with her cloak. She also took out a thick cloak to keep the colder, and the colder it went down, which made them feel like they were back to the cold northern border.

"Generally speaking, when establishing an account, there is a probability that a special skill will be obtained randomly, but there are also no special skills but attribute points. Then there is only one way to obtain special skills, which is to obtain a probability when adding attribute points. However, long-term training can increase the chance of obtaining special skills when adding points. For example, if a player conducts scout-related training for a long time, then the probability of obtaining special skills of scouts when pointing attribute points such as ‘Agility’ and ‘Sense’ will increase."

Joel didn't say anything, but he did try to do it. He raised his hand, and had not said anything or made any other moves. A translucent square interface appeared in front of his fingertips. Through the interface, he saw the fire flashing in Aleya's eyes.

"What's on the panel?" Aleya asked through the fire.

"There are three," Aleya replied when she heard Joel's husky voice, "sensation, tenacity, and..."

Joel looked at the third line in the skill panel and couldn't help but frown and didn't continue talking.

"What else?" asked Feiyu on the side curiously, but Joel did not answer.

Seeing that Joel stopped explaining, Aleya coughed softly, and then continued: "The proficiency of the skill determines the extra bonus this skill can give you. At the end of the skill panel, can you see the last letter of the skill? The proficiency level is divided into six levels: a, b, c, d, e, f, among which there are detailed divisions such as a, a, a-, etc. You can understand that there are a total of eighteen levels."

"Proficiency is quite difficult to improve," Feiyu on the side couldn't help but say, "In addition to the probability of increasing when adding points, you can only improve by constantly working hard. For example, my 'tracking' stunt was obtained by accident when poaching and making money, but it has not been used much recently, so the proficiency is only e."

"The higher the tracking proficiency, the more extra intelligence you can get when tracking something. The famous killer "Blood Hand" Shanti on the forum has a c-proficiency tracking skill. It is said that he can obtain information from three days ago from the traces left by the target he tracked at most." Aleya added next to it, "Most special skills are passive, but there are also a very small number of special skills that can be used actively, such as instantaneously and quickly. This type of skill requires continuous active use to improve proficiency."

Joel looked at the end of his skill panel. Behind the sensing skill is c, behind the tough skill is d-, and the third skill is f-proficiency. Of course, Joel thought to himself as he looked at the proficiency of the last skill.

"For the 'sensation' skills, most of them are used by priests players," Aleya, opposite the bonfire, continued to say calmly, "There are extremely rare priests players. Most of them have obtained information such as 'sensation' because of the 'sensation' skill, and then went to the temple that serves the corresponding gods and then became priests. Do you still remember the giant bear Olaf? He was a priest who was inspired by the God of Justice, but because he also had the status of a mercenary, he could not stay in the temple. After all, the mercenary guardian god betrayed the God of Sword Swallowing Snake, so the people in the temple naturally would not accept him.

"Generally speaking, no god will accept mercenaries. Most of them will do this by treating the world's relatively neutral gods, such as the God of Justice and the Goddess of Crazy Moon." At this point, Aleya smiled, "Maybe when will you be inspired, Joel, you may consider becoming a priest at that time."

Inspired by God? Joel felt that his emotions were a little complicated at the moment. Are those "illusions" all because of this "sensation"?

"If it's 'tough', it can greatly improve the player's survival rate by matching it with high 'physical constitution' points, which is also a more mainstream addition point." Aleya continued to explain for Joel, "Special skills can be said to be an important means of survival for players, so please pay attention."

"So, Mr. Joel's two special skills are indeed very suitable for being a priest." Feiyu said with a smile.

Is the Priest? Joel first thought of Olaf, the strong and steady man, and then thought of Simoken. Simoken. Joel frowned slightly, turned off the skill panel, and then stood up, "We have to leave," Joel said lightly. Although his toes were still frozen, he no longer cared about this at the moment, "There is not much time."

That's right, there's not much time left, Joel thought to himself, the giant monster might have broken through the city gate and rushed into the city. Although he handed over Hemi and Simoken to Ethran, Joel still felt very worried.

No one opposed Joel, and Eleya also stood up. Carey, who had been keeping warm next to the bonfire in silence, stood up with the wall.

"Then you put out the fire and I'll go out and investigate it for a little bit."

Feiyu walked out the door while talking, while Kaili looked at Eleeya and asked, "Is it necessary to extinguish the fire? It should be nothing to keep it. After all, such a place cannot cause a fire. Maybe it can attract the attention of monsters for us, but it may not be certain."

"But it may also alert the monsters and search again and again, causing other players hiding in the room to be discovered. So start extinguishing the fire," Aleya said as she walked out the door, "Go and get some frost to put out the fire."

"I'll go." Carey said as she walked to the front of Ethran, "As combat power, you should rest as long as you can. Leave these chores to me. After all, my state and technology can't help you fight, so I can only do this, so please leave it to me."

After saying that, without waiting for Aleya to speak, he walked directly outside the door, leaving only Aleya and Joel in the room.

Joel bent over and took the mask under his feet and put it on his face. At this time, Eleya had already walked towards him. "So, there are only two of us here," Joel heard Eleya say in a low voice, "I have something to hand over to you."

"What?" Joel looked at Aleya in surprise, and saw that she had spread her hands and had three rings of different colors in her hand, which made him a little suspicious, "What is this?"

"This is the ring my sister made for me, but I can't use it anymore," Aleya said softly. "'Cat's Eye Ring', 'Nightingale Ring' and 'Eagle Ring' can improve the proficiency of the 'wildcat', 'Songsong' and 'Hawk' stunts. If you don't have these three stunts, you will temporarily obtain these three skills, but the proficiency is f-, and temporary skills cannot improve proficiency. In such an environment, you still need these skills very much. Although the proficiency is very low, it is better than nothing. Maybe you can help you."

Joel looked at the three rings but did not reach out his hand. He was hesitating.

"Just as Carey said, I can't become the same combat power as you. I said it from the beginning, right? After all, I don't want to die, and I still expect you to save my life at critical moments, so it is natural to improve your combat power and survival rate. We are a community of shared destiny at this moment." Aleya said with a smile on her face. Joel hesitated for a few seconds, but still reached out to take the ring. Aleya saw Joel taking the ring and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She nodded, "Then I'll go and do Carey's help, you can take a little rest here." After that, she turned around and walked out of the door.

Joel took off his gloves and brought three rings to his hands. His burned skin felt the coldness of the ring and the air. He saw the old ring on his ring finger, which contained burning marks. Alu Joel immediately put on the gloves. He raised his head and saw Feiyu rushing in with a nervous look on his face.

"Come!" Joel shouted when he heard him lower his voice.

Although Joel was shocked, he still asked calmly: "What's here?"

"Boss!" Feiyu swallowed, "I heard a huge squirming sound, and the sound of something hitting the ground, like a metal rod, it was probably the boss!"

...

The Alps leaned against the wall and didn't even dare to breathe. He used his cloak to block the lantern hanging around his waist, holding the steel sword in his other hand. Behind the corner, a wriggling sound made his scalp numb. The white frost on the ground was crushed by the monster. Opposite the Alps, he saw Robin's eyes. At this moment, they were at a crossroads, and the two were standing on the left and right.

Anthony held the sword firmly, and he heard his heart thudding. Fortunately, the armor was thick enough and the sound was not heard, otherwise the monster might have been heard. What made the Alps uneasy was that he did not know whether these monsters were looking for targets based on sound, smell, or light, heat?

He glanced at Robin. Light leaked from time to time under Robin's cloak. The monster squirmed and made other sounds. Alps inserted his sword into his hand and made a gesture. It was only after a long time that Robin understood. He took down the lantern at his waist and threw it towards the intersection opposite the monster. The lantern fell on the white frost so it was not broken, but it still made a sound. It seemed so loud in this quiet dark environment. The fire swayed a few times and almost went out. Fortunately, it returned to normal after landing, and the fire became brighter again.

Then the Alps heard the monster making a puzzled sound, and then the squirming sound began to move towards them. Is it because of light? Alps raised the sword in his hand while wondering, or because of heat?

Then the wriggling sound became closer and closer. Then the light of the lantern was raised. The Alps saw Robin holding up the sharp axe in his hand. They held their breath and waited for the monster to arrive. They stared at the intersection where the wriggling sounds were heard. The corridor was not spacious. As long as the monster appeared, they could attack immediately, and the monster had nowhere to dodge.

Then they saw a black spike piercing out. At first, the Alps thought it was just a shadow, but when he saw the reflection on the spike, he reacted. This monster was the kind that attacked them in the corridor covered with white frost. Then, after the spike that appeared as thin as a spear, the monster's red head, which was like an ugly skeleton that passed through a thin layer of flesh and blood, slowly poked out. The height of nearly eight feet made the monster's upper body hunched over. Unlike the lower body of the slug, the upper body was very thin, no different from the bones.

When all the monster's heads were exposed, the sharp sword in Alps slashed at him without hesitation. The sound of the armor collision made the monster's head turn suddenly. The grim bloody head and dark deep eye sockets made Anthony's heart stunned. He seemed to have been poured down from head to toe by someone. His back was cold and his body trembled. A white breath was spit out from behind his face armor. The sharp sword in his hand also lost its accuracy and strength, and it slashed on the monster's shoulder. However, the monster's body was very soft, so it was easily cut open, but the cut hand was the hand that did not hold the weapon.

Oh no! The monster turned half of his body, holding the black spike hand slowly turned the tip of the spike, aiming at the Alps. Just as the Alps was stunned, the sharp axe swung, without any drag, and directly hit the monster's hand holding the spike. Before the Alps reacted, Robin had swung the sharp axe three times in a row, slashing wildly on the monster's body, cutting off its arm for the first time, and watching it for the second time

On his spine, the monster's upper body became even more hunched, and the third axe decisively slashed the monster's head, and the blood-red head fell to the ground like a big meat ball. The Alps' body was finally able to move at this time. He waved his sword and cut the head in half, and then cut off the monster's double that was cut on the ground several times, because he knew that even if these monsters were dismembered, the corpse could still move.

After chopping these swords, Alps gasped and retreated repeatedly. He saw that Robin also kept a certain distance from the corpse mentioned by the monster. After all, the monster's slug-like lower body was still quite terrifying. If they moved again, neither of them would have grown weapons, and it would be difficult to deal with it.

However, after they looked at the corpse quietly for a few seconds, there seemed to be no sign of squirming. They looked at each other, Robin lowered his voice and shouted at the corpse. However, the insect body still had no movement. Finally, he plucked up the courage to go up and chop two axes. Seeing that there was still no movement, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy to deal with." Robin said as he bent down and picked up the lantern on the ground. "Why were we so scared by this at the beginning that we ran away?"

"Just just simply scared." Alps said, and remembered the terrifying face he had just seen. He lowered his head and found that he had stepped on something. He looked carefully at the head of the monster that was cut in half by him. He held back his disgust and raised his feet to cover the head with white frost.

"But it seems that killing this monster will not be rewarded. There is no equipment dropping, or anything like that," Robin held up the lantern and looked at the monster's body blocking the road. "Maybe the alchemists will be interested in this kind of thing? Don't they always collect some weird things?"

As he said that, he took a step forward and wanted to observe closer, but as a result, he kicked something, he frowned and looked at the ground. It turned out to be the spike held by the monster's hand. He bent down and picked up the thing. "Oh? This thing can still be used as a weapon," Robin said with a smile as he looked at the spike in his hand, "Skyman's spike? It's actually an agility weapon..."

"Wait, what did you say just now?" Alpine looked at Robin in surprise.

"What? Agility-based weapon, you can't use this thing. No matter how you look at it, it's all power-added." Robin replied with a frown. Obviously he was afraid that Alps would ask him for this weapon. "If you go to the craftsman to make a handle, this thing might be a good weapon."

"I'm asking the previous sentence, what's the name of this weapon?" Alps asked in a deep voice.

"The sky man is spiked." Robin looked at the Alps with some confusion, "What's wrong with this name? Do you think this name is stupid? It's obviously in the dungeon, but it's said that it's the sky man..."

Skyman's spike? Alps looked at the black spike in Robin's hand, and then looked at the corpse of the monster that could not move. Skyman? Does these things... have anything to do with Skyman? As far as the Alps knows, the only thing that has something to do with Skyman is the Misilian of the Sky, but at this moment, a Skyman's spike appeared...

"Then I'll take this thing." Robin said as he put the spike in his "backpack". "Really, what long weapons can be used for such a narrow space? You can't even turn around, so why should you assign this weapon to the monsters guarding here?" Robin said as he raised the lantern again. "The road ahead was blocked by monsters. Although you can crawl over it, I think it's better not to do this. Where will we go next?"

Just as Alps looked around and thought about what to do, they suddenly heard a strange sound. Alps felt like he had been grabbed by a handful of fingers. He turned to look at Robin beside him, and his face also showed a look of surprise, because he had heard the sound.

It was like a crisp sound from the collision of glass, which was the sound that crystallized in the white light emitted by the boss's staff.
