Chapter 90 – Flame maze

For the real world, every arrival is a cruel test. If not handled in time, the consequences will be very serious.

Last year, a B-level small-scale instance appeared in a remote mountainous area. It was not discovered by players in the first time, resulting in the annihilation of a mountaineering club.

The official announcement claimed it was a mountain landslide, but in fact, the disaster scene was far more terrifying than a landslide.

Not to mention the S-level instances.

Fortunately, the fortunate thing about this instance is that it is relatively small. The upgrade from A-level to S-level did not expand its map area. The Grey Rock Guild quickly found the location of the instance arrival through known instance information and temperature detection.

Qu Valley Amusement Park.

The temperature here is much higher than other places, and the area of this region is basically the same as the estimated map size in the information. It should be correct.

The official department received the notice and has dispatched personnel to evacuate the crowd as soon as possible.

At this time, Yunhai City is like a big steamer, with frequent high-temperature accidents, causing traffic congestion.

The vehicles coming out of Qu Valley Amusement Park are lined up in a long queue on the highway. Gu Chi and Xia Ling ride shared bicycles against the flow of traffic.

There are many traffic police along the way, but no one stops them.

At this time, the official personnel on duty have received the notice from above, not to stop people at will. On the contrary, they will relax the rules appropriately to let them pass faster.

The task of checking identity is left to the temporary checkpoint set up in the rear.

The cooperation between various departments is tacit, and the security line has been pulled up. Obviously, this is not the first time they have done this.

"Both of you, please prove your identities."

Outside the security line, a player from the Grey Rock Guild wearing auxiliary police uniform said to Gu Chi and Xia Ling, who had parked their car.

Gu Chi took out the big machete that Xia Ling gave him from his backpack.

It is not impossible for players to turn empty hands into big knives.

Xia Ling raised her hand and cast a full-level healing spell on Gu Chi.

Gu Chi was caught off guard and felt a sudden sense of comfort: "Oh~"

The auxiliary police player: "..."

"Go in."

"Thank you."

After walking a few steps, Gu Chi glared at the girl: "Didn't you say you're not a healer?"

Xia Ling innocently said, "But I didn't say I can't heal."

Little Broken Game has no profession setting. As long as there are enough old coins, it can do everything.

The two of them walked all the way to the entrance of the amusement park.

A large wave of players wearing vests and bare-chested has gathered here, just like an adventure team waiting for the dungeon to open.

Not all of them are from the Grey Rock Guild, many of them happened to be nearby and rushed over to help—or to take advantage of the rewards.

These two things are not contradictory.

It is also because of this that the atmosphere on the scene is slightly subtle.

With more than three hundred people, it should be enough to quickly clear an S-level instance. In the case of determining that it can be cleared quickly, how to obtain a higher rating becomes the key.

Everyone is both teammates and opponents.

When Gu Chi and Xia Ling came over, everyone couldn't help but take a few more glances.

But it was just a few more glances.

The appearance of the two of them is outstanding. If one person comes alone and asks for a player ID, it would be fine. But when the two of them walk together and seem to have a close relationship, then it's fine.

Li Tianque didn't pay much attention to Gu Chi and Xia Ling.

These two people are obviously just casual players who came to join in the fun. Whether as teammates or opponents, they won't bring much help or threat.

Li Tianque is now focused on finishing this instance as soon as possible. On the one hand, to resolve the crisis in Yunhai City, and on the other hand, if he's lucky, he might get some good equipment drops.

Without the Heavenly Demon Soul Refining Banner, Li Tianque feels that he is not complete. Every time he thinks about being forced by someone, he gets annoyed.

After playing the game for more than a year, he has never seen such a dirty person!

Next time they meet, he must make that guy suffer!

Beside the flower bed, Gu Chi suddenly sneezed.

With such a high temperature, it is definitely not possible to catch a cold.

So he came to a conclusion.

"My sister is thinking of me," Gu Chi said.

"Vain," Xia Ling quickly waved her hand to fan herself and lightly spat, unable to bear the heat, she opened a bottle of mineral water, took two sips, and handed it to Gu Chi. "Drink it while it's cold. It will turn into hot water later."

This statement is not an exaggeration at all.

As time passed, this area became increasingly hot and dry. The air felt like it was being roasted by flames, and there were already signs of distortion. You could even faintly see floating sparks.

The atmosphere also became more and more oppressive as the temperature rose, as if it would explode at any moment.

The sky had already darkened, and people stopped chatting and just kept wiping sweat.

Li Tianque stared at the system announcement without blinking.

[00:00:05]

[00:00:04]

[00:00:03]

[00:00:02]

[00:00:01]

"Boom!"

At the moment when the countdown to the arrival reached zero, the flower beds extending from both sides of the entrance of the amusement park suddenly burst into flames without any warning.

Gu Chi and Xia Ling were standing next to the flower bed and quickly pulled the girl in front of him.

Flying Egret shouted in the crowd, "Be careful!"

Immediately after, the ground trembled heavily.A large splash suddenly erupted from the pool in the water park area. Before the water droplets could fall back down, they were evaporated by the terrifying heat. What followed was the emergence of a massive burning structure, like a flame palace buried deep underground breaking through the earth, shattering the pool, pushing the water slides and bridges into mid-air, and burning them into ashes that drifted away.

Elsewhere, amusement facilities such as the Ferris wheel, roller coaster, and carousel were all set ablaze.

In an instant, the entire Qu Valley amusement park was almost turned into a sea of fire, illuminating half of the night sky.

Only the open ground was not ignited.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

On the ground, clusters of flames appeared out of thin air, with noses and eyes, wandering around.

Up until this point, the scene was consistent with the information about the instance.

All they had to do was kill these small monsters, rush into the cursed library, go up to the third floor, and deal with the red-clothed administrator, Suo Tu.

The clearance process was that simple.

This was a test of combat power. The difficulty lay in the high attack and stickiness of the small monsters, their large numbers, and the difficulty of handling them when they swarmed. Administrator Suo Tu seemed to have some skills, but they were not really clearing the instance now, there was no limit on the number of people, even the most badass team instance could not withstand the bombardment of hundreds of people.

But just as Li Tianque was preparing to lead the charge, an unexpected change occurred.

"Boom!"

A hot wall of fire erupted from the ground.

Like a fiery red barrier, it was wide and high, blocking his face perfectly. The surging flames almost singed his hair.

Li Tianque quickly hit the brakes.

A second, third, fourth wall of fire erupted from the ground...

More and more, denser and denser.

These walls of fire had edges and corners, winding and twisting, overlapping like a jigsaw puzzle, forming a super-large flame maze under the stunned gazes of everyone.

And the walls of fire were moving from time to time.

After several movements, the entrance was completely sealed off, leaving no gap.

Everyone: "???"

This question wasn't in the book, was it?
