Dongyang, West 143 District.
There are dense jungles everywhere in front of you, huge vegetation, and trees hundreds of meters high, which are completely different from the previous scenes in Dongyang. It looks like a virgin forest somewhere.
And this primeval forest is by no means alone, all kinds of roars are constantly coming from the depths of the forest, it is hard to imagine what kind of monster can make such a terrible roar.
But in this forest, which is definitely not suitable for human existence at a glance, there is a small group of people slowly advancing on the ground.
There are more than a dozen people in this team, and everyone is carrying a huge backpack, as well as guns and knives. Like some expedition, but also like an army.
In the center of the team is Claudia, the Queen of the Ice Castle with pink hair. At this time, she was wearing a dark green combat uniform, which completely highlighted her slender and graceful curves. The hair tied into a ponytail, together with the huge backpack behind him and the silver-white pistol on his waist, give people a capable and sassy feeling.
A group of people cautiously moved forward in the woods. The sweltering weather made Claudia wipe the sweat off her forehead. She let out a breath, and finally couldn't help asking the young man beside her: "How long will we have to wait?" To get to West Area 69."
The young man looked young, wearing the same standard equipment as Claudia, but he was one of the few people in the team who did not carry a gun. What's more special is that there is a small furry animal lying on his shoulder. It looks a bit like a squirrel, and a bit like a ferret, but it has golden fur.
Hearing what Claudia asked, the young man shrugged and said, "Area 69 is one of the most dangerous areas in the Western Region. In order to arrive safely, we have to take a long detour. It will take about ten days to travel." .”
"Ten days?" Claudia frowned, and then asked: "Is there no way to hurry up? Our progress is too slow. If you consider me, I have received rigorous physical training. Don't slow down like that."
The young man smiled and shook his head: "It's not because of you. If we walk too fast, we will easily attract attention. At present, more than 13,000 species of animals and plants have been discovered in Xindongyang, and the number is still increasing every day. Their common feature is that Each one can kill a person.
I've been here since the closed beta, if you want the whole team to reach West Area 69 safely, just listen to me. "
Claudia nodded without speaking. As the heir to the throne who received an elite education since she was a child, she certainly understands that such matters should be listened to by experts. But she really couldn't wait any longer. Originally, he had already discussed marriage with Li Anping, who knew that Li Anping immediately went into retreat as soon as he came back from Dongyang, not to mention marriage, even Daxia's emperor election was postponed indefinitely.
In desperation, Claudia could only wait in Tianjing, who knew that the wait would last for more than a year, and during the time she waited, the struggle inside the ice castle became more and more fierce, and Claudia's father also Even Ivan II is completely at a disadvantage.
Although the other three nobles did not dare to do substantial harm to Claudia's family because of Li Anping's power, the struggle for power and profit is inevitable. And Claudia has not made any further progress in Tianjing for more than a year, which made the other three nobles breed ambitions.
In the past six months, they have successively sent outstanding women from their families to Tianjing to study. Its purpose is self-evident, it is Li Anping.
Originally, Claudia still had a glimmer of hope that she had confirmed with Li Anping before, but she didn't know that Li Anping finally left customs half a month ago, but she didn't mention the marriage at all, and came directly to Xindongyang.
Under pressure from the three major nobles in the country, Claudia made a decision to take her family knights and hire some people familiar with Xindongyang as tour guides to take her to find Li Anping.
To put it simply, she came to force the marriage.
And the young man named Tares next to her is a professional explorer of Xindongyang. Since Xindongyang opened the closed beta half a year ago, it was the first batch of people who signed up voluntarily.
He once traveled alone throughout the West End and discovered more than 1,700 new species.
Just as a group of people were walking slowly in the dense virgin jungle, there was a sudden exclamation from the front of the team. Tares hurried up and saw dozens of butterflies appearing in the team Right in front of them, these butterflies shone with blue light all over their bodies, looking like a dream, making the whole team fascinated, looking at the butterflies dancing in the air with admiration.
Even Claudia showed a loving expression, thinking about whether to take some of them back as pets. It is rare to see such a beautiful animal.
But Tales on the side changed his face drastically, and shouted: "Quickly go back."
But it was already too late. At the front of the line, a big man stretched out his finger, causing a blue butterfly to land on his index finger. When he heard Tales' shout, he turned around with a puzzled expression.
"Damn it!" Tales' face sank, and with a movement of his hands, a pitch-black spear appeared in his hand, and then he threw it with one hand, and the spear instantly spanned a distance of tens of meters. The power directly passed through the big man's chest, and then the remaining momentum continued, directly leading the big man to fly to the rear.
Seeing that the big man was nailed to a tree by Tares' spear, the people around immediately drew out their guns and pointed at Tares in the middle of the team, their faces full of anger.
Claudia also pulled out a silver pistol, pointed at Tares' temple, and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
"kill him!"
"He killed my brother!"
Tares didn't speak, but just raised his hands above his head, indicating that he was not malicious, and pointed to the position of the dead man with his chin.
Just as everyone glanced at the big man's body. A blue flame had already enveloped the body of the big man. A few seconds later, there was only a bang. In the huge explosion, the body of the big man had already been turned into powder, and the blue flame even surrounded the big man's surroundings. Duomi's range enveloped, and then gradually disappeared.
Most of the people watching this scene felt lingering fear and couldn't help but swallow their saliva, thinking about what would have happened if the big man hadn't been shot just now.
Claudia's face was even paler. If the big man exploded in the team just now, more than one-third of the people would be injured, and even she would be in danger.
Tares looked at the ugly faces of the crowd, and said calmly: "This is the Hell Butterfly, creature No. 227. When we first discovered them, we lost six capable users. Each one is a master in his own right.
This hell butterfly will take the initiative to pounce on its prey, ignite the flesh and blood with a blue flame, and then detonate. After being ignited by this blue flame, the flame will not go out unless the flesh and blood are burned. Any attack will also cause the hell butterfly to detonate. "
After a pause, Tales said again with a serious face: "Since the opening of Xindongyang, more than 500 capable people have died. None of them is below your strength. Let me remind you again, If you want to reach Area 69 safely, don't touch anything, don't eat anything, don't do anything unnecessary.
That way, you have about a 30% chance of surviving to the end. "
Tales' words made the people in the team feel heavy again, and only then did they remember the horror of Xindongyang in the government's propaganda.
New Dongyang is the new name after the Great Cataclysm of Dongyang. No one knows what caused the catastrophe. All I know is that since then, the entire environment of Dongyang has undergone drastic changes, and various unprecedented animals and plants have appeared on this continent.
Until half a year ago, the Daxia government announced the situation of Xindongyang, and took the initiative to invite a group of volunteers to explore Xindongyang.
But in the end, there are only one out of ten people who can come back alive, but even so, the strange plants and animals they brought back still caused huge repercussions in society.
Rats that generate electricity, herbs that make people grow taller, dragons that breathe fire and fly. Most of these precious species were bought by the Daxia government, and the remaining few were bought by some private consortiums.
And everyone who came back alive from Xindongyang also became rich overnight, and has no worries about food and clothing ever since.
For a time, the entire New Dongyang became synonymous with wealth and opportunity, which attracted the attention of countless capable users, mercenaries, retired soldiers, and adventurers.
However, the entire New Dongyang is under the management of the Daxia government, and no matter whether it enters or exits, it must be approved by the Daxia government. Any harvest in Xindongyang will also be inspected by the Daxia government, but even so, many people still come here and regard Xindongyang as a paradise for adventure.
