"I want to go find my parents." A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old shouted, but several other girls similar to her held her tightly and advised her not to be impulsive.
Another young man not far away retorted disdainfully, "In the beginning, you insisted on going outside the province during the graduation trip. Now projected, although it is not an absolute distance of more than 400 kilometers like on the earth, it is at least Do you think we can survive hundreds of kilometers safely?"
The boy who spoke was all classmates with the more than twenty boys and girls beside him, but at the moment he was not wearing the linen shirt of ordinary time travellers, but a smooth and bright half-body armor that had just been maintained.
Coupled with this armor and the heavy ax on the back, plus the strong muscular body of the 28 talent point account that the boy inherited after time traveling, he still looks heroic even in this wilderness.
This is why he became the backbone of the team in just half a day.
In fact, not everyone was reunited after crossing over. The entire wild dead land area was much smaller than the land area of the earth. The spatial distance between everyone during the projection was more like a topological change.
The distance has changed, but the general direction has not changed. If the city of relatives and friends on earth is in the east, then there will be no big problem in rushing eastward.
With six to seven billion people pouring into Arthur, only a few places like the Wild Deadlands, which are completely unexplored and like natural life forbidden areas, can accommodate them.
With this method of placing relative coordinates, it is natural that some people would be unlucky enough to appear in extremely dangerous and difficult environments.
There are everything from barren rocky areas surrounded by hundreds of kilometers of barren grass to swampy mudlands that spread across the entire field of view.
The 10% attrition is entirely due to the unfortunate location of reincarnation.
Zhao Xu first paid attention to the fact that most of the places of origin in the entire Huaxia area were safe, and then sent additional manpower to several areas with less resources in the area.
As for the peripheral things, I didn’t pay too much attention to them, mainly because they were beyond my ability.
"Why can't we get through? As you saw in those camps we just passed by, most of us here are former Arthur players, and they have good combat capabilities. As long as we unite together, we can get through." The girl was unconvinced. road.
"Each of us has parents and family members. We may not know what kind of suffering they are suffering right now, so we should use our current abilities to find them and take care of them."
Wanting to continue her dream of being a singer, she chose the profession of poet in the game.
The bards wandered around, collecting various local legends and telling them everywhere.
This profession works its magic through music, sometimes bringing audiences to tears and sometimes to joy.
This traveling life allows bards to meet all kinds of people, so this profession often becomes diplomats, coordinators, messengers, scouts or spies.
At this moment, with the girl's deliberate intention, her performance embodies profound explosive power, reaching the level of S card, and the penetrating power of her voice penetrates into everyone's heart.
In Arthur, every player silently discovered that their professional abilities and skills began to shine.
Near the boys and girls, there were about ten other middle-aged tour groups who happened to share a tour bus with them.
A middle-aged greasy man with a rich appearance came out and said slowly: "My classmates, if you have ambitions to care about your family, my uncle and aunt support this."
"But can we move the uncles and aunts to a safer place first? For example, the new place we heard about, Yanan, feels very good."
At this time, the dozen or so middle-aged men and women behind him all nodded, showing expectant looks. Compared to the high school students in the same group, at least half of whom are gamers, there are basically few gamers their age.
Even if it hadn't been for a certain ranger player in the group who found a temporary cave for everyone and happened to escape the heavy rain, otherwise everyone would have been drowned.
But the new linen clothes that were given to them were tightly grasped by these people. In this resource-poor place, it is very likely that they will only have these two pieces of clothing on rotation for several months after get off work.
"Oh, you still want to go to Yanan? Yanan is right where the light beam is." The young man who retorted at the beginning pointed into the distance.
In that far north, even during the day, you can still see a colorful and mysterious light pillar faintly falling from the sky. People can't help but think of the legend of the holy light leading to the kingdom of heaven.
"Crossing the forest in front is the direction in which Xiaoli is going to find his parents. Then follow that direction for four to five hundred kilometers and get close to Yanan."
These boys and girls are all high school classmates, so they all live in the same city.
"But." The young man scoffed directly, "As a bard, she has anecdotal knowledge and ability, but she didn't realize where this place is."
"Xiao Wei, your face turned pale just after you came here? Obviously you have noticed what kind of place this is."
Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Nan Xiaowei.
At this time, Nan Xiaowei was trembling all over, and her mind couldn't help but recall the details of a place called the Wild Death Land that Zhao Xu had asked her to pay attention to.
Originally, Zhao Xu told her to stay with her parents as July approached, and she did so. It wasn't until August came that she went on a trip with her classmates. Who would have thought that she would encounter such a big change.
"The Forest of Whispers."
Nan Xiaowei said in a troubled tone, "It is one of the dangerous and dangerous places in the legendary wilderness. It is said that anyone who enters this forest will be close to death if he hears a mysterious voice whispering in his ear."
"There is a lot of death and resentment here. Even if you don't encounter a monster, you may be directly affected by it and fall into a state of fear and trembling."
"Even if they survive by accident, many of them will go crazy. Precisely because such risks exist everywhere in the wilderness, spy hunters exploring the North would rather climb over the ice mountains to go to the Orc Empire next door. Taking circuitous detours through wild and deadly places.”
Hearing Nan Xiaowei's words, everyone looked at the dark forest ahead, with vigilant and fearful eyes, as if thick ink had melted away.
It seems that there is great danger hidden under the shadowy and swaying branches and leaves.
"Forget it, how about we take a detour." The middle-aged man suggested, but when he looked up, the Forest of Whispers ahead stretched as far as the eye could see, as if it was a river cutting through the ground, with no way around it.
Unless they can fly over.
"So, do you think we, a group of rookie players with an average level of one or two, who may be wiped out if we spend the night in the wild, can survive in this Forest of Whispers?" the young man said sarcastically.
Other students in the same class also looked ashamed. These senior high school students did not have many grades before preparing for the college entrance examination.
I wanted to get into the game after the college entrance examination, but the game happened to be suspended one week before the college entrance examination.
The status of a level 3 warrior like a teenager is also because he participated in the AP class abroad and did not take the college entrance examination route, so he had free time.
"I don't care." After thinking about it, Xiaoli, a poet girl, insisted. She looked at her playmates who were close friends. As long as she got their support, it would be easy for everyone to follow her lead.
There is always no shortage of dog lickers in the world.
"Ha. Then you are going to die. I just recognized this place, so I am unlucky." The young man sneered.
"No."
Suddenly Nan Xiaowei said in a difficult tone, "I just saw a strange mark on a tree, so I remembered that this place might be the Forest of Whispers."
"You mean, we've already entered?" The young man's face turned stiff for a moment.
Everyone's face turned pale.
During these two days of travel, they had witnessed countless dead bones on the roadside, and even lively skeletons and zombies.
If it weren't for the fact that these boys and girls had good fighting skills and barely managed to block it, the pampered middle-aged men and women behind would have died at the hands of the undead creatures.
"It should be said that at the moment when the heavy rain was about to come, in our panic, we had already broken into the depths of the forest." Nan Xiaowei also understood at this moment.
Suddenly, a strange laughter came.
This sharp sound that pierced the eardrums instantly caused several girls who couldn't bear it to squat down, covering their ears.
"what happened?"
"Where did it come from?"
"Who is pretending?"
Accompanied by shouts, the sharp sounds of weapons being drawn echoed throughout the place, but the strange laughter still couldn't conceal the attack.
"I can't stand it anymore, I want to go home." Suddenly a girl who couldn't bear the pressure burst into tears.
"Stop making noise." The boy on the side was upset and was anxiously checking the situation, but what he heard was a higher decibel cry.
"Who is it?" The first boy raised his heavy ax and struck in the air a few times, as if the sound of breaking through the air was used to inspire his heart.
At this moment, the originally loose ground suddenly shook.
"An earthquake?" The middle-aged tour group behind also looked at the ground in surprise.
But in the next moment, a large purple insect with a length of thirty meters, with a mouthpart covered with a dense nest of fangs, emerged from the loose soil and instantly chewed out a living mouth.
And this big purple insect seemed to be eating French fries, swallowing the other half except the mouthparts in one go.
The number of people in the entire tour group is reduced by one.
Such a cruel scene without any trace of blood directly stimulated everyone's scalp to go numb.
The purple insect exuded a chilling intensity of resentment, and when standing next to it, a sinister wind blew over it.
Everyone can even smell the smell of a tomb that was suddenly opened in the winter morning.
The big purple insect was not satisfied with this. It opened its mouth again in an instant. The densely packed mouth with countless sharp teeth could fit an adult man, and allowed everyone to see the terrifying structure inside.
"Run!"
"Help!"
For a moment, everyone finally reacted, and the scene was divided into two forces. On one side were the players holding up weapons and armor trying to resist, and on the other side were the civilians trying to run away.
The big purple insect suddenly stabbed, so fast that even the afterimage could not be seen clearly.
On the spot, a warrior player in full armor repeated the same mistake and was bitten by it with its open mouth.
"Brother Liang!"
"Small light!"
Everyone cried and shouted the names of their companions.
But it didn't help, I could only watch him being slowly swallowed up.
One girl gritted her teeth, fearing that she would attract the attention of the giant purple insect by making any noise.
This player named Xiaoliang used his own life to prove that the extremely hard armor that seemed to be able to roam the wild and deadly land was of no use against the sharp tooth offensive of the giant insect.
It's just a little bit harder than bone.
At the same time, the giant insect turned its head and looked at the people running behind it with contempt.
All prey that dared to escape without authorization should die.
The giant insect bulged its mouth directly, and then bulged out of thin air. The next moment it opened its mouth again, and the breath of frost and cold winter hit its face.
Five-ring magic ice cone!
The cone-shaped area with a radius of 20 meters in front of it was immediately enveloped in extremely cold air, as if condensed by liquefied nitrogen.
The middle-aged men and women who were running away one by one were suddenly hit by the cold air, their appearance was covered with a layer of frost, and they became extremely stiff and lost their lives.
Ice cone, each layer of blowing attack is 1-8 points of damage, and when it is capped at level 15, that is, 15 layers of power are superimposed, it will cause a full 15-120 HP damage.
The average expected damage is 67 points, which is enough to defeat most players.
A monster capable of casting powerful spells!
This has exceeded everyone's imagination. Even the players who first held the weapon and wanted to fight felt their arms numb at this moment, as if there were countless thin needles on the handle, making it impossible to hold tightly.
"Xiao Wei, run quickly." Nan Xiaowei's companion cried and shouted after seeing the monster's eyes staring at her.
The giant purple insect turned its head slightly and looked at Nan Xiaowei. It felt the aura of the priest on the other person that it hated.
However, the pressure of this real death also made Nan Xiaowei's legs weak at this moment, and she collapsed and sat down.
Having never been on a real battlefield, she felt for the first time that when the game became real, the fear of death was so torturous that it approached everyone.
"brush!"
A sound broke through the air quickly.
The boys and girls in the group couldn't help but close their eyes, unable to bear seeing Nan Xiaowei's blood splattered on the spot.
Just a few seconds later, the screams did not sound.
Several of them opened the slits of their eyes and looked ahead.
A mysterious mage wearing a shining meteor cloak was seen standing in front of Nan Xiaowei who was lying limply on the ground.
Translucent dragon wings flashed around the mage, wrapping them tightly.
He successfully blocked such a blow.
At this time, the mysterious mage seemed not to care about the terrifying appearance of the giant insect opening its mouth of blood towards him. He turned his head casually, looked at Nan Xiaowei with hazy eyes and said.
"Your ability to cause trouble is too first-class. Most players have never seen it a few times before traveling. You can actually encounter the giant insect Yeying with a challenge level of 18."
"If my mother hadn't informed me in a hurry that you weren't with your parents, you would have entered the other person's stomach just now."
"Well, brother Zhongxia." Nan Xiaowei said with a smile while wiping away tears.
Zhao Xu turned his head and looked at the giant insect Yeying, an undead creature with intelligence and the ability to communicate, and asked -
"How do you plan to die?"
