The trio continued onward.
"We can only move forward now, cross this erosion-affected lake, and see if we can find the next safe place." They had wanted to wash off the mucus on their bodies as quickly as possible, but now they hoped it would be consumed more slowly.
Once an arrow was shot, there was no turning back. The previous foothold seemed to have come from the falling rocks from the dome above, and the maintenance time was not long... With all three stepping on it at the same time, it quickly cracked and lost buoyancy, sinking down.
"What exactly is this place?"
Cheng Feng looked around and couldn't help but say, "There are imprisoned mutants, monsters, and that feeding day... as well as the various scenes before us."
Although every instance in the Abyssal Paradise was different, with its own worldview and setting, it seemed that all were affected by some ultimate influence, with all worlds having some slight connections.
Sword White Clothes, with a solemn expression, said, "Unclear, but according to my thinking, it can be slowly figured out."
"After all, there are three types of optional tasks; the first should be the simplest, requiring only survival without exploring the worldview of this instance."
"But the second one, escaping from this place, would probably necessitate gathering all kinds of information and gradually delving into the world of this instance... Based on the few words from the yellow-suited personnel who pursued us earlier, we can deduce... There is an existence called the supervisor, who is extremely powerful... It's very likely that escaping from here will face a larger scale of pursuit, and that big BOSS called the supervisor."
Sword White Clothes quickly sorted out the previous information and his own thoughts.
He looked at Su Qi, "What do you think?"
After noticing previous details, although somewhat uncertain, Sword White Clothes couldn't help but regard Su Buxian's opinion seriously.
"I think..." Su Qi shook his head, "... those are not important."
"Worldview, main story, supervisor, put those aside."
"Just charge through and be done with it."
Cheng Feng had a bad premonition, "Charge through what?"
"Aren't you curious about what the third task is?"
Cheng Feng's eyes widened as he shouted, "I'm not curious, thank you!"
After hearing Sword White Clothes' analysis, he had already sensed the nightmare-level danger, and even the second option already made his scalp tingle, not to mention the completely unknown third task.
"Those without curiosity are incomplete."
Cheng Feng looked at Su Qi's burning gaze and trembled, "Bro, please don't, I'm scared."
He began to understand.
This guy was not a normal player.
Sword White Clothes coughed, "Brother Su Buxian, our most important task right now is class change, not pursuing higher difficulty."
Class change would be best completed here. Although passing this nightmare-level team instance also had a substantial reward, clearly class change had higher priority.
His path to changing class was that of a Sword Seeker, trial tasks... Sacrificial Refining Sword Heart, killing stronger enemies, or using himself as a sacrificial offering. The closer his Physical Strength and Vitality were to their limits, the higher the success rate of the trials and the greater the potential for development after class change.
Sword White Clothes thought that the first and second main stories were both very suitable for him.
"Don't worry, I have a plan."
You'd better have a plan.
After the trio charged through Erosion Lake, the path ahead began to transform again, this time into a land of gravestones!
A vast number of ancient gravestones stood densely packed within the land, filling the air with a fearsome breath that people found dreadful!
"What... what kind of godforsaken place is this! There's even a graveyard!"
"Plus, these gravestones seem to have aged a bit." Sword White Clothes looked over, instinctively smelling a hint of danger.
"Why do I feel like there's danger?"
There were at least a thousand graves; they bore no inscriptions as if they entombed nameless, Undead.
Su Qi said softly, "It's just to say your instincts are not wrong."
Something was reviving.
The soil in front of every gravestone was trembling slightly!
Sword White Clothes drew his longsword, focused and held his breath.
Cheng Feng also gripped a spear, his expression alert.
The earth in front of the gravestones was blown away harshly, and figures with remains of flesh on their bodies slowly crawled out from below!
"The power... of the Undead."
Su Qi's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't see any signs of living creatures among these skulls; instead, it seemed like these things were produced by some kind of power.
Sword White Clothes said with a serious voice, "They're charging at us, be careful!"
These skeletons... people were utterly unlike the ones in TV shows that hobbled and moved like rusted machines.
They were like living people, with torn clothes hanging from their bodies and emitting the battle cries of ghost soldiers as they raised their weapons and charged rapidly towards the trio!
If it was mainly about combat.
Su Qi immediately pulled out the Bone-Breaking Hammer and charged headlong into battle!
And as he fiercely swung his hammer, knocking two skeletons flying, then forcefully smashing another skeleton dead!
A message box appeared before Su Qi's eyes.
[Death Progress: 1/200]
His eyes paused slightly. Well then... is this the trial task?
The trial task for the Ancient God's Heart class change presented three keywords.
[Old Days, Abyss, Death]
Initially confused, now seeing the progress bar, Su Qi realized.
So this is what death is.
As for the Old Days and the Abyss...
The former... related to the era, he wondered if the "Horror Nursery Rhyme" could withstand it.
There was a horrifying existence that lived in the Abyss.
And in Su Qi's Item Slot... there happened to be an eyeball it had given.
Xun Xiaohuan, the man, and the scarred youth were all running together on the streets, their bracelets fully unlocked.
