January 4, 795 in the New Calendar, the weather is sunny.
Although it was a cloudless sunny day, the team led by Duan Qing was facing darkness - they had gone too deep into the forest, and the towering giant trees almost covered the entire sky.
No player has ever been able to reach such a far place - the width of the brown-black tree trunks can no longer be described by a few people hugging each other. They are like tall buildings in modern cities, with a width of more than ten meters on both sides.
It is endless as far as the eye can see. Duan Qing, who has played many virtual online games, has never seen such tall trees. As for their names and varieties, it is impossible to know.
Because the light was too dim, everyone had begun to use torches and other things as lighting tools. Duan Qing took up the oil lamp he extorted from the blacksmith and hung it on his waist. As for the Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice, he probably didn't think about what happened next.
The trees were no longer like trees, but as exaggerated as walls, so she did not make any corresponding preparations. When she saw Duan Qing and the others taking out all kinds of high-tech lighting equipment, she was shocked.
, later I learned that this was the girl Mengzhu’s idea, but the husband was a little confused.
"Has Miss Mengzhu been to such a deep place before?"
"No, but I also inquired about the situation here." Seeing the admiration in the eyes of the others, the girl felt a little excited, and her golden ponytail also jumped around: "I used to do business with the old lady in the herbal shop.
, then chat with her and listen to her walking through the forest..."
Listening to the girl proudly boasting about her contribution to the team, Xue Ling Huan Bing was filled with admiration and suddenly felt resentful in her heart.
When they were preparing before, they didn't have such information. Fortunately, they were given such a long preparation time, and they didn't even mention this kind of information. If their previous team was lucky enough to rush here, they would probably be groping in the dark.
I was attacked by monsters and then sent back to my hometown...
What's even more irritating is that the person in front of me used to be a member of their guild, but was later angry away by them...
So this debt was once again placed on Wuji Huan Shen's head.
A little light source cannot bring enough comfort to Duan Qing and the others - to this extent, the harsh environment is already secondary. After all, it is a virgin forest, and all kinds of strange creatures are the dangers that everyone is more worried about.
Source. But so far on today's journey, they have not seen a creature bigger than that giant snake. On the contrary, the team has encountered only some creatures.
If these creatures could be called "creatures", maybe they wouldn't frighten a few people so much.
At first they encountered a spider. It had eight legs, was black, had compound eyes in front, and was covered with downy hairs. It looked the same as an ordinary spider in every aspect, except that it was big - it was almost as big as a human being.
Duan Qing, who was walking in front to explore the road, bumped into the giant web woven by it. Even if there was light, the spider silk on the giant web was so transparent that it was almost invisible. Duan Qing's limbs were immediately stuck tightly.
, unable to move, and the vibration of the spider web quickly attracted it from the high tree trunk. Although the light was dim and it was difficult to turn his head, Duan Qing could still clearly see the eight spiders above the terrifying mouthparts.
A red eye is flashing red light.
Later, the spider was frozen into ice by Christine, but Mengzhu was so frightened that he screamed repeatedly. Even Duan Qing himself lived up to his name, with a green face.
Liu Qingniu, who boasted that he was as brave as an ox, was still laughing at everyone, and claimed that he would never be afraid of these animals that were just "models" that had been enlarged. However, not long after, he was frightened by a group of ants and ran away.
The black ants are as big as mice, and the ant colony can be seen as far as the eye can see, like an ocean.
The crowd, who were also scared to death, were chased for a long distance by the ant colony. They did not stop until they crossed a stream and confirmed that the ants did not dare to wade in the water. Duan Qing breathed heavily, listening to A Niu's fierce words over there, "I
I'm just afraid that we can't defeat them." He shouted in his heart, while he reconsidered whether the choice he made last night was correct, he also secretly made a vow.
Labor and management will never come here again. This is really not a place for people to come...
In fact, after Duan Qing heard Xue Ling Huan Bing's introduction last night, his previous determination was somewhat shaken. Because Christine's sister is also not an ordinary person.
Freya Ocellus, the biological sister of the water mage Christine, one of the members of the Mage Council - the Seven-person Council, and the great fire magician. Because she is good at using fire magic and is very powerful, she was even freed
Dalu is recognized as the spokesperson of the fire element nowadays.
Jianghu people gave the gangster the nickname "Bingling Flame".
Looking at the behavior of Freya's sister in front of him, and hearing the name, Duan Qing could probably deduce this person's strength and her character.
So here comes the question: For the ruins deep in the Emerald Forest, the Mages Council actually sent two of the seven-member Council to help. Is this just because of the danger of the Emerald Forest itself?
Are there other enemies? Hostile forces? Are they as powerful as these two great magicians? So how strong must they be? Are we going to face enemies at the same level as these two sisters?
How to play this game?
When Duan Qingyi asked righteously, the other party admitted casually - the sisters had indeed heard rumors that some people were also coveting the things in the ruins, and wanted to use these things to do more evil things.
matter.
In fact, they did find some "traces" on their way into the forest, so they split into two groups. As the younger sister, Freya followed those tracks, and she continued to move towards the established goal.
, trying to get there early. Later, by chance, he saved many adventurers, including Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing. Duan Qing and others probably knew what happened after that.
As for the current progress of their sisters and the degree of danger in the future, this woman did not mention it.
Reason reminded Duan Qing that a contest on this level is definitely not something that players like them can get involved in, not even Xue Ling Huan Bing. So after the meeting ended and several people took turns to rest, Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan
Bing had another conversation in private.
After reaching the consensus that "if we don't do it well, we will die miserably," they each exchanged information with each other to prepare for a possible war in the future.
Duan Qing knows the information about himself and the other two people very well - in fact, there is not much to know. We are all newcomers, and there are only so many skills and equipment. There is really nothing to mention. Only as a member of the player team currently
Duan Qing needs to know the maximum combat power of the advanced player Xue Ling Huan Bing, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone to make appropriate cooperation in the fierce battle that may follow.
After Duan Qing sincerely proposed this, Xueling Huanbing graciously agreed. Not only because we are now real teammates, not only because Duan Qing defeated her before, but also made a series of agreements later.
, and after these things, Duan Qing's character was temporarily recognized by her. However, there is no chat system in the free world, and virtual things like observation systems are even less likely to exist. The attributes of equipment and the knowledge of skills are only
She could see it. Xue Ling Huan Bing couldn't hand the equipment directly to Duan Qing to see. In desperation, she had no choice but to read out the description of her equipment one by one so that Duan Qing would know - as for the person involved, what was in it
To hide it, Duan Qing had no other good idea.
【Shirley's Hug (Exquisite)(Upper Body)】
[Protective ability: strong]
[Strength+, Agility+]
【"No matter how rigorous the method of keeping warm is, nothing can warm the heart as much as a hug."】
[Shirley's Tenacity (Exquisite) (Lower Body)]
[Protective ability: General]
[Strength +, Agility +1]
["Those who have walked in the ice and snow countless times will eventually stand like ice and snow for eternity."]
【Sulley's Footprints (Exquisite)(Feet)】
[Protective ability: strong]
[Strength +1, Agility +]
["No matter how heavy the wind and snow are, it can't cover up the traces of her walking."]
Duan Qing's eyes widened when he heard it. Yes, he did listen, but his eyes were really wide open - he expected Xue Ling Huan Bing's equipment to be very good, but he really didn't expect it to be so good.
These equipment actually have increased attributes!
"Looking at your expression, I guess you've never seen equipment with added attributes, right?" Xueling Huanbing smiled slightly, but unfortunately the light was too dark, and that beautiful smile was hidden in the dark night.
"Equipments are all of different quality. Generally, if they are more sophisticated, they will have attribute bonuses, or they will have very good special effects..."
Xue Ling Huan Bing raised a finger and acted as a science popularizer. Duan Qing on the side also followed the rules of a good student and began to ask proactively: "Do you have any suit bonuses for these...
Bar......"
He looked at the other party seriously, then covered his face: "This world is really scary..."
"The outside world is very exciting." Xueling Huanbing said with a smile: "So upgrade quickly, then leave the Novice Village and go to the world to continue your adventure."
Then she announced her final attributes, although there was only one audience.
[Shirley's Roar (Set Attribute)]
[Special effect: Your slashing skills have a certain chance of knocking the target into the air. 】
What is the probability, and what is it related to, level? Attribute? Or luck? A lot of questions instantly appeared in Duan Qing's mind, but he didn't want to ask anymore.
Sure enough, this game is not that simple.
"This set of equipment was obtained when I completed the mission in the Andachier Mountains. It should be considered a very good equipment now." Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression was quite proud, but then her face fell:
"But this monster in the forest is so perverted that I can't help it..."
She was stunned for a while, then stretched, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, there's this."
She took out her sword.
[Holy Light Sword (Epic)]
[Weapon power: strong]
[Strength requirement: oAgility requirement: 1o]
【Power+】
[Special effect: Your attack has a certain chance to cast the light of punishment. 】
["The Holy Light will punish you!"]
Duan Qing was stunned.
"So...that huge lightsaber that day..." After a long time, Duan Qingcai asked, and Xue Ling Huanbing smiled and said: "Yes, but that was my research.
The result, or... is an advanced usage."
"It's really perverted..." Duan Qing gritted his teeth for a long time and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Such a powerful skill is actually attached to a weapon... Wait a minute." He suddenly realized.
What? He looked at the face hidden under the black cloak: "Your attributes...you actually have o power?"
"Yeah, plus the various bonuses on the equipment, I barely managed to make up more than 0... I should have done it before, right?" Xue Ling Huanbing tilted her head: "I am a strength player.
But in order to use this sword, I added some agility, although agility is still very useful..."
Under her explanation, Duan Qing also gained some systematic understanding of the role of character attributes - this is first-hand information from the first echelon in the game Free World.
"The design of the free world is actually very simple. The functions of each of these attributes can be understood in their literal meaning. If you are powerful, your attack power will naturally be very strong, and the explosion of power will naturally give you an instant speed boost.
advantages, as well as physical advantages, etc. Of course, the system will not give you these hidden things. These are all summed up by ourselves after trying for a long time..."
"Agility is naturally related to technical aspects. Your skills will be more flexible, your control over the body will be stronger, the time for attacking and defending moves will be shorter, that is, the stiffness will be shorter, and the moves will be shorter.
There will be more possibilities for change, and of course the most important thing...your hitting rate will increase."
"Of course, we advanced players have enough reasons to believe that if these things meet certain conditions in actual combat, your attacks will become skills, and then be recognized by the system, and then... you will understand.
"
"But there must be something else here, which may be related to the state of attack or defense, the degree of completion of the moves, the results of the moves, etc., and even the mood, environment, maybe when you attack, you start from dozens
Jumping down from a meter high place, you can understand the palm technique of a move falling from the sky..."
"Pfft, has anyone learned this... palm technique that falls from the sky?"
"How do I know, no one has tried it..." Xue Ling Huan Bing curled her lips: "As for intelligence and spirit, you are a melee player, so it is probably useless to tell you...
.”
"Hey, don't, maybe I will become a mage in the future when my brain breaks out..."
"You have added so much power, aren't you blind in the gameplay department... Okay, okay, intelligence is related to the power of spells, the ability to comprehend spells, and spirit is probably related to the control of spells, and
The speed and state of casting the spell..." Xueling Huanbing suddenly thought of something, and her voice gradually lowered. She hesitated for a while: "By the way, before you...you...
....”
"Huh? What's wrong with me?"
"How did you...defeat me..."
Although the night was very dark, Duan Qing could still imagine the red face of this woman. He hummed twice: "You are so weak..."
"ah?"
"For a ten-level player to defeat an O-level player is probably a fantasy in most games, but according to my observation, the game Free World does not fall into this category." Duan Qing also laughed: "And you are very good.
weak......"
Just as Xue Ling Huan Bing was about to retort, Duan Qing reached out and pressed her: "Don't worry, it's not that your character is weak, it's that... you are weak."
"Not only do you have good attributes, you are very strong. Combat skills, combat awareness, on-the-spot experience, and even some detailed habits are all factors that determine victory or defeat. I can see that in these aspects of you...
....very weak.”
"The battle in the virtual world is very deep."
Duan Qing looked up at the sky, with deep eyes, as if he could see the beautiful stars above the green sea through the layers of branches. He subconsciously touched the pocket of his coat, but found nothing, and then suddenly realized
Now we are in the game world, and our confused eyes suddenly regained consciousness.
He shook his head and looked at the cloaked figure who was looking at him intently. Perhaps because he was caught peeking, he lowered his head in a hurry: "Well..."
"What?"
"Ahem, no, it's nothing..." Xue Ling Huan Bing hesitated, but in the end there was nothing.
"Hey, woman..." Duan Qing curled his lips, and then solemnly said: "No matter what, thank you."
"Ah?" The other party was obviously confused by Duan Qing's sudden thanks.
"What was your reaction..." Duan Qing said happily: "Thank you for teaching me so much. These things... most people will not explain so much to others."
"Oh..." There was silence for a while, and then he hesitated: "Yes... yes, I... I am, should, should...
..."
"Um?"
"No, no, nothing..."
I can't resist your arrogance... Duan Qing raised his head as if helpless, then turned to whisper: "I always feel that that woman Christine is not telling the truth..."
"Ah? Oh, I think too..." The topic was changed, and the woman felt a little lucky in her heart. However, facing Duan Qing's question, she had not yet converted, so she just responded perfunctorily.
"At least they didn't tell us everything...but forget it." Finding that the other party had no intention of continuing, Duan Qing reluctantly ended the discussion in this regard.
"Ahem, let's go too far. Let's continue to introduce each other's strengths... By the way, I learned the skill [Boxing] during the previous battle with you..."
"That..." Now that the other party had returned to normal, the black cloak did not continue to delve deeper: "I have also learned that, and I will probably learn it when my strength reaches a certain level..."
"Ah? Then my attributes..."
"How do I know this..."
In the deeper night, Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing talked like this all night. Although they were a little tired mentally, they felt that there was still a lot to summarize and plan.
But in the daytime, at this moment, they felt that these things were of no use now - if they were stung to death by a swarm of huge bees, they would die without any mention of the future.
Facing such a horde of monsters, even Christine would find it difficult. Moreover, the future situation is unknown, so conserving strength is a reasonable method. So the last option left is to run away.
After a few water magics blocked them for a while, several people started to escape again for an unknown number of times. Duan Qing even maliciously guessed that the great magician probably didn't expect that their group had already changed before they reached their destination.
After becoming like this - the dangers she is encountering now are definitely not within the range of dangers she mentioned before.
The Emerald Forest is indeed a place that only a few people can come to.
After another round of twists and turns, the swarm was still not thrown away. These monsters were different from the previous ant swarms. They were all flying creatures, and it was still difficult to escape from their tracking. As they were racking their brains, they were thinking.
When he was trying to find a solution, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side in front of him.
"Wait... wait a minute!"
