The sun was fading and darkness was approaching. In the blink of an eye, their second day in this forest was coming to an end.
After witnessing the battle, several people were shocked in their hearts and became more interested in the high-level world - putting aside the giant dragon-like monster, those few people were all real
Tongqian players. Although they did not defeat the monster in the end, the fighting power they showed made everyone yearn for the future game process: they may also become that powerful.
Therefore, at the end of the day, they were on their way aimlessly - the strange noise they heard before that fierce battle could no longer find its source, and in the end it could only be attributed to some kind of aftermath of that battle -
—The most discussed thing is what the world of masters looks like. In this aspect, Jiecheng Bad Shao is obviously very good at it, or brags about it, so the topic of this day has become his home field. Unfortunately, Mengzhu’s friend also has some opinions about the professional world.
I know a little bit, although the kind girl doesn't like to do things that make trouble, but sometimes, even she can't stand listening to it.
"When Duan Feng Lei was under my command, he was one of the best among my many disciples. With his divine wind and thunder power, he could easily attract wind and thunder and chop the enemy into coke...
..."
"Well, Brother Evil, Duan Fenglei is the president of Jianghu, and he doesn't seem to know any martial arts..."
Duan Qing, who was hiding aside, couldn't help laughing.
Or: "I heard that a few days ago, the Wings of Freedom and the Sword of Justice had a shocking battle on the outskirts of El Tania, the capital of the Principality. It was related to the competition for the second and third place in the strength of the alliance guilds. Both sides were also very powerful.
With all my strength..."
"Really? What I heard was that Tebama took people to do a certain task, and we... er, no, it was a conflict with the people from the Wings of Freedom, and it turned into a big fight in the end.
......."
Although there are many situations like this, more often than not, the evil master tells some wonderful stories about the free world. For example, when the server was launched before, the first echelon composed of many well-known masters hit the level rankings.
; There is also a certain player who disclosed his adventures online; a certain master had a conflict with another master in the city, and then a decisive battle and so on. In short, there were too many things to talk about, and they were still in high spirits all day and night.
Qing himself is also very interested in these things. After all, his understanding of the game field is somewhat out of touch, and many things are no longer clear, so whenever he hears some familiar or unfamiliar names, he feels a little disappointed in his heart.
Missing... and curious.
But looking at the excitement of these new players talking about those people and those things, I was still a little happy in my heart after all - this hinted at the vitality of this world.
A Niu did not participate much in the discussion of these topics. The guy seemed to be not only a newcomer to the free world, but also a newcomer to the gaming industry. He did not understand many names and concepts. But the young man was full of energy.
There is still no shortage of them. When I hear the description of a certain duel between masters, I will bluffingly say "Wow", "This guy is really awesome" and other exclamations, and then ask for that person's name and strength.
, how strong it is, etc.
Of course, after transforming into a curious baby, a certain question will be asked very naturally: "Who is the best among the current professional players?"
When A Niu asked that question, the conversation stopped for a moment. Duan Qing had been listening with interest and did not participate in the discussion. He would definitely not express his opinion in this meeting. Mengzhu stopped talking.
, looked quite hesitant, but the evil young man on the side laughed: "In this world now, there are many heroes. You see, among the first guilds in the world, there are many people who are very capable of fighting. Duan Feng Lei is not
After talking about it, his brothers Duan Shanhe and Duan Shanyue have also made a name for themselves... and the president of the Wings of Freedom is flying freely and can command the second most powerful guild. You and his strength
How about it, right? There is also Toho Ramen, the boss of the Sword of Justice, which has many famous deeds. There are even more stories about Cangyun Barrier, the boss of Arashiyama... and ghosts.
Even if you are crazy about planning and plundering your dreams, you will be invincible against Nan Tieshan, the second best cloud in the world, and oh yes, there is also the recently famous Dragon of Jingdong, Lu Bench..."
A Niu was particularly excited when he heard this, and seemed to agree with it. Duan Qing spat out the water he was about to swallow with a pop: "Jing, what the hell is Jingdong Dragon? Does it sell electrical appliances..."
....”
"Jing! That Jing in Jingzhou, if people know about it, they will come over and slap you! Besides, if they want to give themselves such a name, can you care about it? But at first, his brother suggested calling him Dongjing, and then he was called Dongjing.
He beat him up..."
"Tokyo...hahahaha!"
Duan Qing smiled even more happily, while Mengzhu covered his forehead and hurriedly changed the topic: "It's been a long time, but the strongest person still hasn't come out..."
"Uh..." Returning to the question again, the evil young man from Jiecheng looked embarrassed, but then he put away his shameless bragging style and rubbed his head in a serious manner: "He asked me so suddenly, I
It’s not very clear either…”
"Isn't there a ranking list in the Alliance? Why don't you just introduce him to the people on it..."
"Hey, everyone knows the ranking of that ranking. It's just for reference and just to see the excitement. And do you know that there are many experts among the people? Lu Bench is not on the list yet, and there is also the game Fantasy Continent
Yumeng caused such a big fuss, and many people were chasing him, but in the end they had no choice but to let it go. How could such a person with such strength not be on the list. But it seems that I haven’t seen Yumeng in this game.
This ID..."
"There's also that madman Spartak, and that Mr. Chop, so many masters..."
"So..." He listed for a long time, and finally clapped his hands: "Those people in the league only confirm the rankings through formal game performance statistics. They are simply stupid. How can there be so many people playing games?
of......"
The evil young man from Jiecheng had a rather unhappy tone. A Niu on the other side was surprisingly in agreement this time. He didn't know which part of his words touched his heart. But after a while, the evil young man from Jiecheng said something in a low voice again.
"However, I definitely admire the person who once dominated the rankings."
"Who?"
"Who else could it be, the Sky-Breaking Blade?"
"...Who is that? Is it very powerful?"
Naturally, A Niu has never heard of this name. Although Mengzhu has not been playing games for a long time, he has also heard of that name: "That chuunibyou patient? The one who retired three years ago?"
"What's wrong with the second grade? If you have strength, you have to show off, you know... I only admire his number one. 'The Strongest Man', 'Game Killer', 'Top of the Sky', he
His titles and deeds..."
"It's the 'Peak of the Sky'." A voice corrected from the side.
"Well, it means the same thing. In short, in the virtual games of those years, the champions of the competition were easy to win, and they defeated countless former masters. For three consecutive years, they ranked first in the personal power rankings, and no one could shake it.
Look at those who are number one now, they don’t have the domineering power of the Sky-Breaking Blade back then, tsk tsk tsk..."
The evil young man from Jie City paused, then sighed again, and cut off a branch next to him with the short knife in his hand: "That's really a rumor, but it's a pity that I don't know why, but he left suddenly, alas...
"
Mengzhu, who was rare this time, did not dismantle the villain of Jie City, and remained silent on the side. The ignorant A Niu looked at the two of them with unclear eyes, not knowing what the silence in the middle meant. On the other hand, the one beside him
Duan Qing, who had been silent all this time, smiled sadly.
"It's not as mysterious as yours. He's just an ordinary person. At least... he has suffered a lot of losses and made a lot of fools."
"...What are you?" The evil young man turned around and seemed quite dissatisfied with Duan Qing's words: "How do you know? Don't think that you can do whatever you want if someone suddenly retires. He is not on the list now.
Those parallel importers who have nothing to do all day just want to make big news first..."
"I think about it..." the girl said with enlightenment: "You seem to have had a mixed career before. Do you know any secrets? Look at the way you didn't say a word just now..."
Before Duan Qing could explain, the evil young man from Jie City spoke first: "Who are you fooling? Qingshan Sword God, right? I have never heard of this person before..."
As if he had returned to himself, the evil young man started talking nonsense again, and A Niu on the side was frightened so much that he screamed, and the atmosphere in the team returned to his rhythm. Duan Qing somewhat understood the strength of this evil young man.
He is not strong, but he is probably an old player, and he probably admires the name Sky-Breaking Blade in his heart. So because of what he said just now, and because he always made trouble for him before, his heart is now
Maybe I was quite unhappy, but that era three years ago seemed like a joke now, so I had no choice but to change the topic and avoid talking about it.
It's all nonsense, why be persistent... He took off the water bag from his waist again, raised his head and took a few sips - whenever he heard similar topics, he would think of something to drink, and at this time, he only had
It was water. He took a big gulp and swallowed it with a gulp. As a result, he almost choked in his throat. He pounded his chest painfully for a while. Finally, he took a long breath and finally recovered.
It’s true... when life is not going your way, whatever you do will be unlucky.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, suddenly thought of something, turned back to someone in a black cloak and said, "Would you like to drink some water and take a rest?"
The man shook his head.
Duan Qing thought for a moment and ignored her. The girl over there noticed his inquiry and secretly curled her lips.
Ever since she "picked up" this woman yesterday evening, she hasn't said a few words and often hides by herself, not knowing what she is thinking. After the initial sympathy has passed, the girl still has some vigilance in her heart.
, after all, they are of a very high level, so it’s probably not a problem for one to fight four of them. And even when they camped to rest at night, this amazingly powerful player showed no intention of being friendly or helping them, and just sat there minding his own business.
Rested under a big tree nearby.
However, the girl also knew clearly that few players could still feel comfortable after experiencing the blow of yesterday's fierce battle.
After yesterday's battle ended, several people went over to check. The giant man before and the man photographed on the tree trunk were already dead. The bodies were probably brushed away in a while. Finally, they were swept into the bushes.
The female player is still alive, but judging from her appearance, she must have been seriously injured.
After several people tried to rescue her, the woman finally woke up from her coma. She looked around blankly, as if she was still in the state of confusion after being surrounded by the monster. Until Duan Qing and others asked loudly
It took him a long time to come back from that state and began to try to figure out the current situation through the passers-by in front of him.
Duan Qing revealed that his team was a newcomer from Greenstone Village, and he spotted her on the way to a mission. Then, pretending not to know anything, he asked about the woman's origins and what happened.
The woman fell into silence again. As time passed by, her white-armored body began to tremble again. She sat there with her fists clenched. After a long time, she squeezed it out of her mouth.
There is a sentence: "If there is not enough success, there is more than enough failure..."
Duan Qing didn't hear her words clearly, but looking at her cold expression and the ID on her head, he somewhat understood why this person's attitude was like this.
Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice.
It's such a name that makes people feel cold when they hear it.
After that, the woman showed normal friendliness. First she truthfully confessed the fact that she was a high-level player, then she came here with her team, encountered a dangerous situation and was wiped out by the team, leaving only herself in the end.
, and then asked if there was any vacancy in their team, and if they could be their guide or take them out. I would never interfere with their tasks, and would help them solve their difficulties if necessary...
Her calm and measured demeanor, her experienced negotiation skills, and her leadership temperament revealed inadvertently in her words - even the very nervous A Niu felt that this woman was not simple. Mengzhu even pulled the absent-minded Duan Qing aside.
, I want to have a few private discussions with this seemingly ordinary and harmless man, but in reality he is a cunning and cunning man.
After all, this female player is very strong... Not far away, the sword mark that was cut out an unknown distance still remained on the ground, looking at them silently like a warning.
In the end, they accepted the woman whose ID was Xue Ling Huan Bing. A few people briefly introduced their mission, and then each understood the basic living conditions. After the woman ensured that she still had food and water, she could
After taking care of herself, Duan Qing said that as long as she could solve the problem of finding someone, these "local snakes" could be responsible for taking her to the outskirts of the Emerald Forest, but there was nothing else they could do.
Xue Ling Huan Bing reluctantly agreed. Before, their team carried maps with markings and a lot of information, but they were basically on the body of the team members. With their deaths, these have little meaning now. But let her
It is impossible to give up like this. It is not in the interest of the guild. I don’t know where the progress in Jianghu is. People from other forces will also send people over. Although my side has become such a situation, others should
It's the same, so even if I'm the only one left, I don't have much chance.
And most importantly...it doesn't fit my style.
It seemed like this was the only way to go, just take it one step at a time - she looked at the team in front of her that was obviously composed of novice players, and slowly made up her mind.
The woman coughed and held the long sword, and stood up unsteadily. Due to the fierce battle before, the armor on her body could no longer stay white and was stained with countless mud. In addition, Mengzhu tied her seriously injured waist.
The bandages on her body made her look very embarrassed. However, the woman didn't care much about this image. Instead, when she stood up, the cloak behind her got caught in the bushes, causing her figure to tilt again.
She turned around in annoyance and found the culprit cloak. Chill appeared on her face again, and then she stamped her feet bitterly, tore off the cloak and threw it into the bush. She probably felt that her performance
Somewhat angry, he untied a package tied around his waist, took out a rough black cloak and covered himself.
Duan Qing on the side saw this and shook his head secretly: "A woman who is angry is really scary..."
Finally, the full team came out again. The woman who had transformed into a black cloak looked back at the devastated battlefield. She probably knew that those who were now teammates must have searched other places, and there was probably nothing else.
Now that she is alive...she should be the only one left alive.
She followed the team and pulled the front edge of the cloak again, but she couldn't help but feel a little helpless in her heart: "How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this. I have been preparing for so long..."
What to do next... She asked herself silently, and the feeling called confusion gradually grew from the depths of her heart.
This day is the o day of the earth month of the new calendar year 795. In the red clouds of the evening, a man named Mo Shang Qing Shan led a team, and a woman named Xue Ling Huan Bing formed a team, and then headed towards the Emerald Forest
Went deep.
