"Keep pushing! Don't stop! The second patrol is coming soon!"
Some time later, inside the Gemenan Jungle, a deafening command voice belonging to a certain adventurer team sounded continuously around the path that extended to the river: "Get rid of this monster quickly, or it will be destroyed again.
!”
"The soldiers pulled it to the side of the road and tried to see if they could avoid the sight of the patrol!"
"No, it can't be done. This guy can cast spells. If you open a distance, he will start chanting spells..."
"Then just step back little by little, do you understand? Don't open too much distance and lure the other person to go in your direction... Tsk, it's too late."
Two sudden warning sounds then appeared at the end of the path, and with the appearance of two other black-clad enemies, they rushed towards the location of the Lazy Cat Team, which was concentrating on dealing with the last enemy.
The team formation then became a little panicked, and then used a louder commanding voice to cover up the whistling of sword blades and the sound of metal collision: "Don't panic! Soldiers attract their attention and pull them all.
past!"
"But now there are three goals..."
"We will deal with the enemy with low health as soon as possible! Just pay attention to your own health. If it doesn't work, run away from me! Roll over the river beach in front!"
"Go forward, go forward! Get out of this place! If it drags on any longer... the next batch of patrols will come too!"
The chaotic scene, together with the gradual movement of these players, continued to spread towards the end of the forest path, stirring up a lot of noisy dust in the southwest area of the jungle, and the brilliance of high-level magic followed.
With the players' screams gradually rising, they bloomed in the corner of the battlefield, and with the blood gradually splashing and the white light rising, they rose into the high air of the jungle - as the distance increased, the number of monsters increased.
The number of attacks increased, and the offensive from this group of mysterious men in black finally revealed their ferocious fangs. Magic attacks that were not of this level at all and emergencies that appeared from time to time in every corner of the jungle also changed this already exhausted team.
It became even more confusing, and the dangerous situations that were difficult to handle began to become overwhelming: "...I can't stand it anymore, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it this time."
"I haven't even seen the BOSS... I'll start over again."
As the white light gradually increased, the fighting figures began to become less and less. In the end, only the scene of Lazy Cat and Crystal Bun was left leaning against each other. The two people talking to themselves then started a fight.
With their respective weapons, they rushed forward with the final roar in the direction of the four or five surviving enemies in black: "The team members this time are pretty good. As long as we work harder, maybe we can..."
"Don't say such things now, we are not dead yet!"
"Then go ahead! If you fight to the death, you won't lose, if you fight to the death of two -"
The imaginary shadow of death did not envelope the two people as they rushed into the scene of shining magic. What followed was a red light that suddenly rose behind the black-clad enemy team, reflecting behind the shadow of the jungle.
Then a figure shrouded in a cloak gradually appeared in front of everyone present, and silently pulled out his long sword from the chest of the last black-robed mage: "..."
"It's you!"
With such a scream coming from his mouth, one of the men in black who had just wanted to kill the overestimated adventurers shouted and turned his head: "Kill her! She is -"
The heart-stopping sound of blood splattering then appeared on the neatly flat neck of the man in black who had just spoken, and the sight of his flying head interrupted all his unsaid words.
A large amount of blood also intersected with the blood-red long sword, turning into more sword shadows cutting through the entire space and spreading towards the battlefield. Originally, Lazy Cat and Crystal Baozi were unable to defeat the mystery.
The crowd in black then turned into fragments of flesh and blood all over the sky under the ravage of the bloody sword light, spreading the sky-high blood energy and the disgusting smell of blood to the surrounding jungle, attracting other beasts attracted by the thick blood energy.
But she didn't have the courage to get close to this place at all. Instead, she and the other two novice players who were still alive looked at the figure of the female swordsman in front of them with frightened eyes: "You, you are... you are that Snow
Spiritual ice?"
"..."
The setting sun, which was brighter than the blood splashing everywhere, drew a bright red arc in the sky, dissipating all the bloody aura that was still scattered around. Looking up at the blood-red aura of the Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice,
He suddenly raised his head, ignoring the two players whose eyes stayed for a long time between the gradually dissipating red light: "...No."
"Not what?"
A conspicuous voice then appeared on the back of the woman who was not stained with a trace of blood. At the same time, there was the figure belonging to Art who was covered with adventurer equipment: "Don't use such clumsy methods.
Is it a good cover-up? It’s just a few adventurers..."
"They don't need my introduction."
A simple shake of the head was regarded as a response, but Xueling Huanbing's gaze towards the sky did not change at all: "I was talking about the enemies just now... they are not."
"Ah? Not what?"
"This blood, and this jungle..."
Slowly retracting the long sword to his waist, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes also fell on the two players in front of him who didn't seem to dare to make any moves: "It looks more and more like the target we are looking for.
"
"that……"
Lazy Mao, who seemed to be a little scared by being stared at, stood there without daring to move and asked with a smile: "How did you get in? Aren't we working on the dungeon now?"
"Copy?"
A bit of doubt flashed across the eyes that were like dead water, and then a sneer appeared on Xue Ling Huan Bing's cold face, which was half shrouded under the hood: "I see, a copy of Novice Village...?"
"I understand." She tugged on the edge of her cloak, and then greeted the NPC adventurer behind her: "Let's go."
"Hey? Hey?"
Lazy Mao and Crystal Baozi, who were increasingly confused about their own minds and did not feel any joy at being rescued, hurriedly stretched out their hands to stop each other: "Well... what is the situation now? We
This copy of…”
"This is not a copy, at least not to me."
The steps he was walking forward without looking back stopped in front of the jungle as the voice appeared. The woman named Xue Ling Huan Bing tilted her head and replied: "You guys who haven't left the Novice Village yet are still here."
Go back quickly and stop disturbing us."
"How is it possible? We are in a trial." Lazy Cat took a step forward again and immediately shouted loudly: "You are the ones who interfered, right? You are the intruders who broke into our copy.
You must compensate us for the damage caused by the destruction of our copies—"
Pfft.
The bloody sword light flashed through the air and cut through the darkness of the jungle in an instant. It penetrated from the cloaked woman's hand to the chest of the player behind him who was shouting loudly. The lazy cat, who did not make any more sound, then suddenly hit the woman.
The flashed sword turned into white light, and as she sheathed the sword and stood up, it swayed towards the sky. She shook the bloody sword blade in her hand up and down, and her expression did not change at all.
Then he showed a slight hint of anger between his eyes. He gradually raised the sword blade, but finally ignored the increasingly blurry back of Crystal Bun who fled, and finally followed the will of the sword owner.
And back in front of her: "...they are real."
"I see, it's a simple and convenient way to identify." Art, who seemed to understand something, then walked to Xue Ling Huan Bing with his baggage on his back: "In other words, those guys we killed before who were suspected of being from the Magic Empire
…Actually, it’s all an illusion, right?”
"If they are real lives, their blood when they die will be absorbed by the setting sun." Looking at the bloody long sword that became brighter due to the death of Lazy Mao, Xueling Huanbing nodded slightly: "But just now
Those red lights... they are all products of simulation."
"That's why the enemies in this place will appear continuously like the fire elements in the Molten Land." Art, who put down the package, replied with deep understanding: "That's why this place was formed... Uh, you put it down
It’s called a copy, right?”
"The person who designed all this should have that thing too."
Putting away his long sword again, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had no intention of explaining, walked towards the front of the field of vision: "Otherwise he would not be able to create such a realistic human body, not only with blood and bones, but also with basic fighting styles.
The logic of responding to the enemy is very complete..."
"What you want to say is... we are facing a very powerful enemy now, right?" Art, who had cleaned up the place, kept up with the opponent half-jokingly: "Don't try to scare me away, I
I have great confidence in you, you will definitely be able to deal with them."
"I don't know how strong this person is, but he must be smart enough."
Staring at the other party with cold eyes, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who stopped, then showed a somewhat pensive expression: "I have arranged so many real illusions, and I may have used the special effects of this long sword to consume my blood and blood.
physical strength……"
"Then if you just change a weapon, that's it?"
The wind blowing through the jungle stopped for a moment as these words appeared. At the same time, a voice belonging to a certain gray-robed magician appeared: "Hey, hello, we
meet again."
"...This sword was bequeathed to me by someone else. I can't give it up."
Glancing sideways at the man and the four more novice-looking teams brought behind him, Xue Ling Huan Bing frowned slightly after being interrupted: "And - please don't follow us."
"I'm not following you. We're also here to download a dungeon." The magician named Linyuan Duanshui hurriedly raised his innocent hands: "I thought there would be fierce battles one after another, but I didn't expect a monster came in
We haven’t met them yet...Aren’t we lucky? Hahahaha.”
"Of course, of course, hahahaha."
In response to his last dry laugh, the exiled Zhan Song winked at Linyuan Duanshui and hurriedly hid the empty potion bottle in his hand behind his back: "We, we don't know anything, haha
Ha ha……"
"……snort."
His eyes stayed on the gray-robed magician whom he had met once before for the last moment. Xueling Huanbing hid his last bit of boredom in his back as he turned away: "I warn you one last time, don't
Interrupt my actions, otherwise..."
"What happened to that guy just now is your fate."
The jungle that gradually became quiet returned to the real world with the departure of the two figures and the passage of time, gradually revealing the increasingly obvious gasps among the team led by the magician.
The other newcomers besides Linyuan Duanshui then covered their chests and quietly conveyed their frightened nervousness to each other's whispers: "Wow, what an amazing momentum, this is what happens in this world.
Is it the strength of top players?”
"Just now, just now I thought I was going to die. I didn't believe it when I read the plots in novels that described murderous accidents. But just now..."
"Afraid, what are you afraid of! Isn't it just a woman? I will definitely become as strong as her in the future... no, even stronger than her - oh!"
"Can you please keep your voice down? She may not be far away yet, and do you know who that woman is? She is the famous Dark Witch, a ruthless character who has single-handedly defeated all the forces in the Sky City..."
"Team, captain."
In the chaotic atmosphere that gradually became chattering all around, Murong Qingchun, who was empty-handed, carefully approached the silent magician: "We, do we want to continue to move forward?"
"……certainly."
Withdrawing his gaze forward, Linyuan Duanshui restored his previous serious expression: "Don't forget your trial, we still have to clear this dungeon."
"But, according to what we just overheard..." the ordinary-looking girl still asked with a worried look on her face: "We are not in the dungeon at all now."
"For us, yes."
He took out a small transparent potion bottle from his arms, and the gray-robed magician reached out and sprinkled the potion in the bottle into the middle of the team: "Okay, the new concealment potion should still last for half an hour."
"Let's continue."
I don't know whether they were afraid of the prestige established by the magician in front of them or because they relied on the strange potions that the alchemist in front of them took out one after another. Several new players finally nodded in compliance with Linyuan Duanshui's words, and then maintained their attitude.
Taking the kneeling posture that he had sneaked all the way before, he continued to set off towards the depths of the jungle, following his figure still leading the way. (To be continued)
