Chapter 265: Temple in the Lake (Part 1)

Time passed by minute by minute. Looking at the last second of the countdown, the four gray words "Task failed" displayed on the screen, Zhang Mu pressed his temple hard.

Zhang Mu was very unhappy, very unhappy because he had already opened the entire tunnel and just saw the last "boss 安安安安" and several teams of hellhounds who were following her closely.

After the mission failed, Zhang Mu and his master were instantly teleported to the entrance, and a big golden question mark appeared on the head of the previously dead explorer.

"Did you fail? My friend? Well... this is reasonable, but do you still want to try it?"

Looking at the dialog box popping up on the screen, Zhang Mu was a little amused and asked himself: "Big book, do you want to try again? This task can be repeated."

After a few seconds, a slow reply came from the other end of the deity: "It doesn't matter, try again, well, the merits obtained by fighting those tunnel guards were pretty good, and it increased by 30% in 4 hours."

Zhang Mu shook his slightly sour right arm and said, "I have to give you a vaccination first. In the next 4 hours, unless we can complete the task, there will be no merit to kill monsters. The hero's invincible system is very complete, and it is difficult to take advantage of loopholes."

"No merit?" I thought about it, then shrugged my shoulders and said, "As long as I can pass this task, I'm fine anyway, if you want to fight, continue to fight."

"Hehe, if I don't finish this task, I won't sleep well." Zhang Mu rubbed his palms hard: "I'm starting!"

"Um."

...

4 hours later—

"Fuck! Even if there is an extra 30 seconds, it will be enough..." Zhang Mu finally couldn't help but curse.

"Well, indeed, there are only two teams of troops left in Mauna..." The original person smiled and said, "Do you still have the strength? If you have the strength, then the next time?"

Before they knew it, the two had been doing 8 hours of tasks in a row, and if they were others, they would have gone crazy. Doing tasks is not as interesting as in a maze or treasure house. They repeatedly walked the same path and fought the same monsters, and they had no merits or resources. Such an expedition was extremely boring. Zhang Mu had calculated it patiently, but his patience was also limitless.

"You still have the spirit?" Zhang Mu said weakly, and at the same time, he opened the 'Red Bull' drink handed to him by Deng Jie.

I smiled and said, "I am tired, but since we have learned the lessons of two failures, I believe we will definitely pass this time. If we give up halfway, wouldn't our previous efforts be enough..."

"Since you said that... then, let's do it again!" Zhang Mu gritted his teeth and gave up halfway? What a joke!

"Only one last chance is left, my friend! Do you still want to try it?"

"yes!"

The tactical keyboard was pounded by Zhang Mu and five extremely clever fingers were jumping rapidly on the cold metal buttons.

"This is the last chance. If you can't finish this mission this time..."

I snorted: "Don't be the crow's mouth, speed."

It was already late at night, and Zhang Mu and his master were still fighting on the expedition, while the "only" and "twelve" members who were relocating accurately were staring at each other in the former 6th-level town group of the United States.

"Fuck, what are you looking at? Do you want to fight?" The fat man was very upset and sent out rows of provocative words. The prince's town was next to him. The two of them were only a short distance from the town, and the others were the same.

"Slim figure, you're so fucking arrogant!..."

"Arrogant is arrogant, what's the point?"

"you…"

This is a very wonderful relationship. The bosses of the two studios are teaming up to do tasks, while their studio members are engaged in a verbal battle full of gunpowder when there is an alliance. Of course, they can only curse. In order to avoid the previous grudges of the two sides after entering the 6th level map, Zhang Mu and the master tacitly asked them to sign a Class A covenant that lasted for a month.

In the mission time, 3 hours and 45 minutes, Zhang Mu and the master finally found the silence. After a battle against time, the battle ended in 3 hours and 57 minutes!

A brilliant victory!

The 12-hour mission has finally been completed!

The terrible expedition is not difficult to fight the boss at the end, the difficult thing is that there are time limits!

"Huh...huh...huh..." Zhang Mu wiped away the sweat from his forehead. Although the indoor temperature has been maintained at 20 degrees, he was still sweating because he was too nervous. Now he was blown by the air conditioner, which was really a bit cold.

I sighed happily: "It's not easy, it took a full 12 hours."

The pleasant and inspiring music sounded in the ears of the two of them. The 12-hour effort was not in vain. Looking at the massive merits and a large amount of gold coin resources rewarded by the mission, the previous fatigue seemed to disappear in an instant.

"Congratulations on your meritorious service xxx."

"Memphira, Adrie has to move to level 17."

"Congratulations on obtaining 150,000 gold coins and 400 resources of various types."

"Congratulations on your 'Expeditionary Force title'."

“Congratulations on obtaining the ‘underground treasure map’ x1.”

Expeditionary Force (Title): When walking in underground tunnels, the movement speed increases by 10%.

Underground treasure map: You can excavate once at a specific location, and there are chances of: gold coins, resources, strategic treasure drawings, soldiers, heroes, etc.

“Happy cooperation.”

"Ha, when will we use the key to the 'Shrine in the Lake'?"

"Let's rest for a night, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm bored." Zhang Mu chatted with the master for a few casual words, and then turned his attention to the fat man and Long Gen who were playing a "war of words".

Too lazy to pay attention to them, Zhang Mu ran into the bathroom and took a hot shower, returned to his seat with great energy, told Daotian and the Mythical Swords about the dungeon, and asked them to move the hero over now.

After the notice was completed, Zhang Mu found the architect Xiao K and started to build a "portal". The starting position of the portal is Zhang Mu Ghost Clan Town, and the teleportation location is close to the center of the road group of the crowd towns. With the portal, they can save a lot of distances, which is quite convenient.

It was still early to see that Zhang Mu switched back to the RPG mode, redeemed a large number of gold coins using the Hero Trading Network, and began to wander around the market, buying some "life treasures" that are likely to increase in value in the future. Never underestimate these life treasures, as their importance in the future is no less than strategic treasures.

After nearly 2 hours, Zhang Mu finally spent all the gold coins on his body, worth 200,000 yuan. Looking at the cheap treasures, materials and drawings full of backpacks, Zhang Mu then switched back to the strategic mode with satisfaction.

Such speculative transactions are really difficult to do without rebirth.

After lunch the next day.

All the staff of the Twelve Studios, the only studios, and 20 people who were hurt by myths and guilty were gathered neatly, waiting to enter the temple in the lake.

In the absence of war, do everything possible to loot gold coins and resources. This is what the master does.

As the saying goes, if you raise troops for a thousand days, you can use troops for a while. If you don’t have these most basic resources, what can you use to fight against players from other countries?

Although Zhang Mu seems to have sufficient inventory now, in fact, once he builds the 7th-level Dragon Knight Camp, he may not even have enough upgrade resources.

I took the lead in using the temple key. As several thunder sounded, the sky above the small Lake Vill was covered with dark clouds, and several Neptune snakes who had just settled in the nest were trembling and sneaked into the bottom of the lake.

After the dark clouds formed, a series of golden lightning slashed into the lake, and the originally calm little lake suddenly blew up. About ten seconds later, the dark clouds dissipated, and the entrance of the temple in the lake appeared in the middle of the lake, next to the Neptune Snake's nest.

"In!" Zhang Mu took the lead in.

"So beautiful!" Deng Jie looked at the background of the copy in surprise. Not only her, but everyone was attracted by the beautiful scenery.

The background of the temple in the lake is sky blue, with rippling water patterns, and bubbles float up from the crowd in a bunch of them. A group of lake-type hermit crabs slowly crawl over people's feet. The strange little fish and shrimps chase each other and play with each other. At the same time, some giant fish shuttle comfortably between the lake, giving people a feeling of coming to an aquarium.

The outdoor buildings of the temple in the lake are completely different from the ground, and are a brand new world.

Zhang Mu said with a hint of regret: "When I am honored by the country, I should really buy a few virtual helmets and come back... I will wear a virtual helmet and enjoy the beautiful scenery here, that's great!"

"Brother Mu, stop enjoying the scenery. Tell me how to fight this temple in the lake." Long Gen asked.

Zhang Mu then remembered and explained to everyone: "There are 20 tunnels here, one of us attacks one, and slowly attack it. However, you have to be careful. The monsters here are all two-headed dragons. The 7th-level troops are not so easy to deal with. If you take it lightly, you will definitely be destroyed. It is important to note that you can open the entire tunnel to find the magic well, so the hero's magic must be saved and saved!"
Chapter completed!
