Of course, there was another thing that Guhan was very concerned about. How did Tomono Kakaze know about the news from the outside world?
Since entering this instance dungeon yesterday, Tomono Kakaze had told Guhan very clearly that after she entered this instance dungeon, she had lost contact with the outside world, just like Guhan. Any news from the outside world could not reach Tomono Kakaze's ears. So, in theory, it was impossible for Tomono Kakaze to know that the Wu people were attacking.
According to Tomono Kakaze herself, she did not understand what was going on.
Just a moment ago, she inexplicably regained her connection with the outside world. Then, Tomono Kaekaze immediately connected to her own database, accepting the various data of the several thousand Tanks that the AI core hadn't received for the day.
It took Tomono Kakaze a few more seconds to analyze the information of these Tanks. Only then did she discover the news of the Wu people's unusual movements in Shanhaiguan. She did not dare to delay and immediately told Guhan.
After telling the information to Guhan, Tomono Kakaze instantly lost contact with the outside world and returned to her previous state of isolation.
"It seems that there is indeed a mysterious force secretly manipulating this instance dungeon!" Hearing Tomono Kakaze's description, Guhan was more certain about his previous speculation about this instance dungeon.
This instance dungeon was controlled by a hidden will, and this will could arbitrarily control everything in the entire instance dungeon. It could restore and isolate Tomono Kakaze's contact with its host computer according to its own will.
Tomono Kakaze was the highest intelligence in the entire game. In theory, other than the management authority of the research institute that controlled Tomono Kakaze, which was above Tomono Kakaze, no other will could surpass Tomono Kakaze in terms of authority.
However, in this instance dungeon, the will could wantonly control Tomono Kakaze. This was undoubtedly a very dangerous thing to do.
It would be fine if the consciousness's authority was limited to the Twelve Heavenly Palace Instance Dungeon. However, if the consciousness could surpass the Twelve Heavenly Palace Instance Dungeon and control the entire game, the humans in the game would undoubtedly be in an extremely dangerous state.
If this consciousness was like what was described in a certain novel, where everyone's consciousness was forcefully imprisoned in the game, and players would become idiots once they were forced to quit, then the entire human society would undoubtedly be threatened by this consciousness.
That explained why the Sword Committee had decided to reformat Sword Maiden Online. If they didn't remove the Twelve Skyscraping Palaces, which was an element that humans couldn't control, how could the Sword Committee let so many humans and sword bearers stay in a dungeon that could kill them at any time?
Alright, back to business. Under Guhan's strong request, Yan Hong reluctantly entered the Duo Pair with Guhan.
Although they were on the Duo Pair, they were actually on two completely separate paths.
The entire path was less than 50 centimeters wide, which was barely enough for a pair of feet.
The two paths were about 50 meters apart, and both paths were surrounded by bottomless abysses. It was as if the Skyscraping Mountain under the Yang Guang Temple had been hollowed out.
The participants who stood on this path were actually similar. A slight breeze would cause them to sway, and they might even fall into the abyss if they weren't careful.
When Guhan and Yan Hong stepped onto the starting point of the two paths, two screens automatically extended to Guhan and Yan Hong, displaying a notification.
"The straight-line distance between two participants is not allowed to exceed 100 meters."
"If one of the participants gives up, both of them will fail at the same time.
If one of the participants successfully passes the Yang Guang Temple, the other will also succeed at the same time. Falling into the abyss will not be life-threatening, and the participant will reappear at the place where he lost his footing. However, the other person will receive a punishment of increasing the weight he has to carry. "
"The first time you lose your footing, the weight you have to carry will be increased by 50 kilograms. The second time you lose your footing, the weight you have to carry will be increased by 100 kilograms. The punishment will continue until you fall 20 times, and each additional weight will be increased by 1,000 kilograms."
"Are you ready?" Guhan glanced at Yan Hong who was 50 meters away and asked.
"Ready!" Yan Hong nodded, and the two of them took their first step at the same time.
When they took their first step, countless laser guns extended from both sides of the Yang Guang Temple, and without any explanation, they began to shoot golden laser guns at Guhan and Yan Hong.
Although these laser guns were aimed at Guhan and Yan Hong, their speed had clearly been deliberately adjusted. They did not have the terrifying speed of light, and their shooting speed was about 1,000 kilometers per hour, the same as the flying speed of the dragon balls in the Dragon Ball Palace.
These laser guns shot at Guhan at a speed of about five per second. What he needed to do was to move forward while dodging these laser guns.
In the eyes of ordinary people, such a speed was naturally unavoidable, but in Guhan's eyes, it was not so fast that he could not deal with it.
These laser guns could not obstruct Guhan at all. Guhan twisted his body slightly and was able to perfectly dodge these laser guns.
In less than a few seconds, Guhan had advanced a distance of several tens of meters.
But at this time, Guhan had no choice but to stop because a red line had appeared on the road in front of Guhan.
This was the red line that indicated the distance between Gu Han and Captivating Red. Once he crossed this red line, it would mean that the distance between him and Captivating Red was more than 100 meters. Therefore, Gu Han could not cross this red line. He could only stand in place and make all sorts of strange movements to evade the laser attacks while waiting for Captivating Red's footsteps.
If Guhan's pace was like a rabbit's, then although Yan Hong's pace was not as fast as a tortoise's, she was only a little faster than a tortoise.
Dodging these laser guns was obviously a huge burden on Yan Hong. She had to maintain a high level of concentration to barely dodge these laser attacks.
So when Yan Hong arrived at the place where Guhan was, she had already spent a few minutes.
In just these few minutes, Yan Hong's face was flushed and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. At this time, Yan Hong's physical strength was almost exhausted.
"You can do it!"
Guhan looked at the road in front of him, but he could not see the exit. He estimated that this two-person passage was at least five kilometers away, and they had only advanced 50 meters. That was less than 1% of the total distance.
However, Guhan knew that in this situation, he could not give Yan Hong any pressure. The best choice was to let her move forward in a relaxed manner. So, other than words of encouragement, Guhan did not say anything else.
When Yan Hong arrived at the place where Guhan was, Guhan moved forward about 50 meters again.
Gu Han's advance was still as relaxed as ever, but Captivating Red's advance had become much more difficult. This time, Captivating Red was hit by the golden laser for the first time. Clearly, her stamina could no longer keep up with the laser.
Fortunately, when the laser hit Yan Hong, it only shook her Guard Armor. Yan Hong's body was still unharmed, and she was still standing firmly on the road. She did not fall into the abyss, adding another 50 kilograms to Guhan's weight.
"How much damage does this laser do?" Guhan asked loudly. He wanted to know how many laser attacks Yan Hong could withstand.
"Not much!
Less than 0.7% of my Guard Armor's damage! "
Sweet Crimson replied in a loud voice. 0.7% damage. It seemed that Sweet Crimson could withstand at least 130 laser attacks. This was good news.
After that, Guhan and Yan Hong took turns advancing 500 meters. During this time, Guhan was not hit by a single laser. However, as Yan Hong's physical strength was depleted, her movements inevitably began to slow down. The number of laser attacks also increased. By the end of the 500 meters, Yan Hong had been hit by the laser more than 20 times.
Such a situation had already made Gu Han feel very uncomfortable, but something even worse happened. As the distance they advanced exceeded the standard of 500 meters, the frequency of the laser attack directly increased by half.
Previously, there were five laser attacks per second. Now, there were seven laser attacks per second.
Although this rate was still within Guhan's capabilities, it was clearly not something that Yan Hong could withstand.
When the frequency of the lasers increased, Captivating Red was hit by five lasers at the same time because of her panic. Countless ripples appeared on her shield.
However, this was only the beginning. Although Yan Hong tried her best to avoid the laser attacks, it only made things worse. In just a few seconds, she had been hit by about 20 laser attacks. This was equivalent to the total number of laser attacks she had endured for the previous 500 meters. The energy of her Guard Armor had dropped to less than 70%.
"Don't dodge the laser attacks!
Just run forward with all your might! "
Guhan could keenly sense that Yan Hong was using up a lot of physical strength to move forward while dodging the laser attacks. At the same time, her movement speed was surprisingly slow.
It was better to let Yan Hong run forward. Although the chances of being hit by the laser attacks would be higher, her movement speed would be significantly increased. After thinking about it, the latter was more cost-effective, so Guhan said to Yan Hong.
Yan Hong did not answer Guhan. Instead, she used her actions to speak. She completely gave up on the idea of dodging the laser attacks and began to run like a long-distance runner.
Guhan immediately increased his movement speed to the same level as Yan Hong. However, compared to Yan Hong, who was able to take in all the laser attacks, he was able to move at high speed while dodging them all. At this time, Guhan's Guard Armor was still at 100% strength.
The two of them sprinted for about three kilometers. The frequency of the laser beams increased to fifteen per second, and Captivating Red was hit by about nine out of the fifteen laser beams. Finally, Captivating Red's Armor Shield could no longer withstand such a terrifying consumption. When it broke through the 3.5 kilometer mark, Captivating Red's Armor Shield silently exploded.
In the next second, the golden laser shot directly at Captivating Red's arm, and a deep wound immediately appeared on her white skin. Captivating Red gritted her teeth and did not let out a groan as she continued to run forward.
However, this was only the beginning. More and more laser attacks left countless wounds on her body. Although Yan Hong gritted her teeth and endured, her speed inevitably began to decline.
Finally, at a certain moment, a laser hit Yan Hong's temple.
Her vital part was hit by the laser. She instantly felt her vision go black, and then she lost control of her body. Her legs went soft, and she inevitably fell on the road, falling into the abyss.
The exit of Yang Guang Temple was still deep in the road. It was so far away that not even a trace of light could be seen.
