Hearing Lin Liyu's words, Qin Feng was a bit speechless.
This girl was really something. Could she even get gains just by running around outside?
Although she had died several times while exploring outside, anyway, since the lifespan was stored up, the loss wouldn't be too great.
Of course, Qin Feng still reminded her, "Try not to die if you can in the future. Don't let your non-tradable lifespan drop to zero, or it'll be very dangerous."
Lin Liyu nodded seriously, "I understand. I know that you, big shot, have a skill that can absorb other people's lifespan... We've taken precautions. Anyway, we'll explore the area outside the city ruins first and then replenish our non-tradable lifespan later."
Qin Feng was a bit surprised, "Do you have a stable channel to replenish it?"
Lin Liyu pursed her lips and smiled softly, "Yes. We lured some monsters that had absorbed non-tradable lifespan inside the city ruins to a hidden place and killed them there."
"After killing them, the dropped non-tradable lifespan was all kept and not absorbed away. We'll go back to replenish it when we need it."
This was indeed a way.
But only the authorities had the ability to implement it.
After all, except for the authorities, any other guild wouldn't enforce a strict'real-name system' too strictly.
And the real-name system of the authorities gave them enough binding force over their players.
It could make the personnel guarding that batch of non-tradable lifespan less likely to embezzle it... Although it couldn't be completely prevented, the security could still be relatively guaranteed.
At this time, Qin Feng followed Lin Liyu and walked all the way in this temple maze.
Qin Feng found that although this place was a maze, the map wasn't complicated. Most importantly, there were no traps.
Compared with the temple in the novice town that he had spent three hours exploring last time, the difficulty was much lower.
Moreover, Lin Liyu also said that the monsters they encountered along the way were all small monsters. Not to mention Qin Feng, even Lin Liyu now could kill them easily.
More than ten minutes later.
Lin Liyu led Qin Feng to the deepest part of this temple ruin!
Although this maze was cleared by their team of six people together, now the others had all gone back, leaving only Lin Liyu here to guide Qin Feng...
"This is it, big shot."
Lin Liyu came to a white spherical light sphere that was taller than a person!
When she got here, she stretched out her hand and directly put it into the white spherical light sphere, waving it around.
Even her figure in the black robe passed through the white light sphere back and forth, but the white light sphere didn't have any reaction at all.
"See? The system prompt told me that I'm not the fated one..."
Lin Liyu was a bit gloomy and then looked at Qin Feng with some expectation, "Big shot, why don't you give it a try? We all guessed that this temple might be linked to the one in the previous town."
"Since you've explored that temple, maybe you can trigger this teleportation light sphere."
Qin Feng nodded.
He took two steps forward and reached out to touch the white light sphere...
Suddenly, the white light on the white light sphere spread all over his body!
This scene made Lin Liyu's eyes light up beside him.
"Sure enough, there's a reaction!"
Before she could react, Qin Feng in front of her was completely covered by the white light and disappeared completely in the next moment!
Lin Liyu was a bit excited. She opened the private chat channel with 'Shadow' and sent several private messages to ask about the situation. Unfortunately, she didn't receive any response...
She didn't care too much either.
After all, she also knew that in many places in the God Forsaken Game, remote communication would be blocked!
...
——
[You have come to the 'Ice Tide Cave'! Your remote communication will be blocked.]
——
Qin Feng was a bit surprised when he heard the prompt ringing in his mind.
He originally thought that he would come to a place like a hall. Unexpectedly, he came to a pitch-dark cave.
Shadow Concealment!
Qin Feng subconsciously entered the invisible state.
As the invisible state was maintained, his invisibility level gradually increased and soon reached Level 8!
After a while, a ray of ice-blue light gradually lit up more than ten meters in front of him.
"A blue crystal?"
"Wait, this thing seems to be..."
Qin Feng's eyes narrowed.
He recognized that the crystal emitting ice-blue light was an unstable ice element mineral - Ice Tide Crystal!
Once attacked, it would release the ice element energy inside and burst out a violent and surging tide of ice!
If he couldn't leave this cave, then once the ice tide burst out, Qin Feng would surely be doomed.
"I definitely won't touch this crystal myself."
"But..."
Qin Feng began to observe the surrounding environment.
As the ice-blue light of the Ice Tide Crystal lit up, the whole cave was illuminated. It could be seen that this was a circular cave with a diameter of more than twenty meters. Around the cave, there were a total of seven passages, and it was unknown where they led to...
When the blue light spread out along the passages, soon, Qin Feng heard some'shushing' sounds coming from the seven passages.
"Are there monsters?"
"What's this..."
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.
He quickly realized that he was supposed to protect the Ice Tide Crystal in the middle.
Monsters kept emerging from the seven passages.
Once these monsters attacked the Ice Tide Crystal in the middle, then everything nearby would be annihilated in the ice tide!
Qin Feng would naturally not be spared either.
"These seven passages are far apart from each other. The farthest ones are even forty meters apart."
"They are even in different directions."
"Under normal circumstances, if there was only one player, it would be impossible to defend them all completely..."
Even for Qin Feng, his Instant Shadow Slash and Dark Night Ring Blade couldn't cover the whole cave at all!
What's more, if he used a skill with too large an area of effect and his attack hit the Ice Tide Crystal, then the crystal would still burst...
"Last time in the temple, I relied on summoning devout believers to reach the end safely."
"And even with summons, without enough exploration experience, I would have died at least several times in the middle..."
"Unexpectedly, this time, I'm supposed to guard the crystal?"
"It seems that the skill I just learned will come in handy..."
Poison Trap!
As long as he placed Poison Traps in all seven passages, then he could ensure that no monster could safely pass through the seven passages and attack the Ice Tide Crystal in the middle!
"How abnormal."
Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh.
This kind of defense mission was usually prepared for teams.
But now he was asked to do it alone.
If he hadn't just learned the Poison Trap skill, he would really have died here.
With his current defense attributes, it was impossible for him to withstand the eruption of the Ice Tide Crystal.
However...
With the Poison Trap, this mission seemed simple.
Of course, Qin Feng didn't let his guard down.
Based on his rich experience, he looked up at the top of his head...
Sure enough, he found that there were two cave passage exits side by side on the top of this cave!
"Sneaky, so sneaky!"
"Even for a team, their attention would be attracted by the seven passages around them. How could they notice that there were two passages on the top?"
"Halfway through the fight, if two monsters dropped from the top, it could directly wipe out the whole team!"
It could be said that this was a mission almost impossible to complete alone!
This made Qin Feng look forward to it very much.
What kind of rewards would he get after completing this mission?
