Chapter 60 Yu Che's Speedrun Plan
Inside the scout corridor, the three advanced in formation with You Che in front, Luna in the middle, and Qing Ling behind.
Although Luna is the highest level, she is a prayer master dressed in simple clothes, so her defense is only so-so and her health is not high. It is safer for her to stay in the middle.
The three of them moved forward close to the wall of the corridor, mainly to avoid the traps on the floor. This intricate corridor, which seemed to stretch on forever, was filled with all sorts of trigger traps.
"There are trap stones in the middle of the road ahead, be careful not to step on them."
Yu Che, who was walking at the front, naturally took on the responsibility of observing the environment. When he discovered traps or mechanisms, he would warn the two people behind him to be careful.
But traps and mechanisms are not the main threat in this corridor; the wandering spirits are.
"Crack!"
A barely audible cracking sound made You Che prick up his ears. Within this passage, any sound not made by a member of their own side meant one thing.
"call out--"
"clang!"
A rusty dagger emerged from the mist and stabbed at Yu Che's waist from the side and behind. But Yu Che turned around suddenly as if he had gained full vision, and the hound's claws pressed down, accurately blocking the slash.
Due to the angle of attack, Yu Che was unable to parry the attack in time and could only maintain a stalemate.
But that's enough.
The next moment, several vines suddenly swept over like venomous snakes, tightly wrapping around the extremely blurry figure in the mist, so tightly that he could barely hold the small knife.
You Che took the opportunity to create some distance, and at the same time blinked.
It wasn't very obvious before, but now it seems that Qingling's vines are much stronger than her own strength...
At least 7 points of strength are absolutely insufficient to achieve this level.
"Throw a fireball!"
Just as You Che created some distance, Luna's fireball arrived. The explosion briefly dispelled the surrounding mist and revealed the attacker's figure.
[Wandering Soul Scout]
[Level: 13]
[HP: 109/160]
"Click—"
You Che immediately drew his sword, unleashing another abnormal double strike. Then, with the team's coordinated attack, they quickly depleted the enemy's health.
After the guy fell, Yu Che went up to loot the corpse as usual, and found only a rusty dagger.
[Rusted Dagger (Broken)]
You Che shrugged and tossed it away casually.
This thing is only worth a few copper coins if you take it out to sell, and he even finds it takes up too much space.
Luna didn't say anything. After they entered the corridor, they encountered four Wandering Scouts and had already obtained their second Echo Crystal.
So even if this scout is only LV13, it's unlikely he'll get another one.
If that stuff were so easy to obtain, it wouldn't be a rare material.
So she simply said to You Che, "We've been walking through the corridors for quite a while now, but we still haven't found the small room... Isn't this going to be bad?"
The small room she mentioned is a rest area that appears randomly within the area.
Including the Scout Corridor, the six parallel areas within the Watcher's Fortress maze are all places where once you enter, you can't easily get out.
To leave this small map, you either need to defeat the mini-boss guarding it, or stall for time until the entire maze refreshes its state, at which point those still inside will be forcibly teleported out.
However, the Watcher's Fortress takes a whole day to refresh its status, and most adventurer parties around level 10 are not capable of engaging in such a long continuous battle.
Fortunately, rest areas such as "small rooms for storing miscellaneous items" will randomly appear in the maze, where adventurers can rest and sometimes even find some small treasures.
Luna asked about this very thing: if they couldn't find the small room, they would just keep going back and forth in the corridor.
While this method allows you to collect the necessary materials, it makes it difficult to sustain your fatigue level.
You Che turned to look at her: "It's only been a short time. There's no need to rush to rest."
"Hang in there, the first furnace is just ahead. We'll light this one and then move on to the next one. After we've lit all three, a small room will automatically spawn, and then you can rest."
Luna was taken aback: "Huh?"
No, what did you just say?
You want to light three stoves?
Just the three of us?
The question returned to Luna's mind, and she almost blurted it out.
Unlike before, in the Scout Corridor, the three randomly appearing furnaces are the most important mechanisms, which can open the path to the gatekeeper BOSS.
No, it should be said that after lighting the three furnaces, the boss guarding the gate will come to you on its own!
You Che actually plans to trigger the BOSS when there are only three of them?
Luna suddenly regretted it: Did I get on the wrong bus?
Is it too late to jump out of the car now?
You Che knew what she was thinking at a glance, and just smiled: "Don't worry, the BOSS here doesn't even have a separate battle arena, so it's the easiest to deal with. Just follow my instructions."
Luna actually wanted to refuse, but then she thought that they hadn't even found a small room yet. If she separated from You Che and Qing Ling and acted alone, she would probably only face certain death. So she could only force herself to nod and say, "...Okay."
"Let's go then. Don't worry, this corridor may seem endless, but it isn't. The appearance of the three furnaces is also in a regular pattern."
Yu Che comforted Luna, "Don't worry, I never risk my life. Oh, by the way, there's a trigger mechanism on the wall next to you, be careful not to touch it."
Luna was about to lean against the wall to catch her breath when she heard this, and immediately jumped back like a startled rabbit.
"That was close!"
She couldn't help but glance at You Che, but in the dim light, all she could see was that charming smile.
Luna sighed silently.
Whether Yu Che did it on purpose or not, she clearly didn't have the option of leaving the team.
From the moment she didn't immediately choose to go to another area at the entrance of the corridor, there was no turning back.
You Che chuckled to himself: You think you can just run away once you're on my ship? You'd better work as my laborer!
A team can only stay in the maze until the next refresh. If they followed the habits of people in their world and honestly conquered it step by step, they would have to enter the maze several times to get that many materials. This is without even considering the situation of taking turns entering with other teams.
You Che doesn't have that much time to waste here; his goal is to clear the game in one go!
As for how to do it, he has his own plan.
This time, his teammates had already been bound to You Che's heart like a war chariot.
Of course, he wouldn't do anything like sabotaging or betraying his teammates just to clear the game quickly. As long as they follow his plan, their companions will not only be safe, but they won't even have to think much and can just sit back and win.
As long as they follow orders...
