Ever since he came to Phoenix Mountain, Ai Lan has been very curious about the difference between the rules of the outer world and the main world.
So far, he hadn't found anything particularly noteworthy.
After walking in the winding passage for a long time, the surrounding light changed from bright to dark according to the distribution of fluorescent plants.
The deeper she went underground, Ai Lan found that there were more and more bugs around her.
He dug out an earthworm from the soil and brought it to his eyes.
"There is no information, not even a white name."
In the main world, even the weakest creature will have a white panel.
For example, earthworm [level 0 combat unit]: natural type 0 level unit, skills: none.
But in Phoenix Mountain, this is just an earthworm with no sense of existence.
Forget about the name, if Ai Lan hadn't pulled it out of the soil, it would have been born and died in obscurity, just like its ancestors did for generations.
"Ren, help me catch some bugs from the surrounding areas and bring them back." Ai Lan became interested in these nameless bugs.
He always felt that there was some earth-shattering secret hidden behind this change in rules.
It didn't take long for Ai Lan to throw a lot of insects into the fairy garden.
"Just keep going."
Under the guidance of the map, Ai Lan and his party walked east and west in the underground passage, and finally entered the underground world without any danger.
Ai Lan's first impression of the underground world was that it was big and empty.
Then came darkness and silence.
Then came the cold.
"It's strange that I feel cold."
Since entering the game, Ai Lan has never felt cold or hungry.
This is a virtual game, it is normal to not be cold or hungry.
With the exception of food, clothing, housing and transportation necessary for survival, other elements will be directly eliminated or greatly blurred.
There isn't even a wooden bed in the city lord's mansion in Mangrove Territory.
Ai Lan feels cold, which is indeed a very novel and interesting thing.
But soon, when a sense of hunger surged crazily from his body, his brows suddenly furrowed.
"I'm actually hungry!?"
At this moment, Ai Lan still doesn't understand. This is the difference in rules between the outer world and the main world.
"But in this case, doesn't it mean that the rules of the outer world are more complete than those of the main world?"
He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.
"Maybe I should ask the mage."
The mages must know something about this kind of thing.
"Legion Commander, I seem to smell a smell of meat."
At this moment, the gray crow seemed to smell something.
"The smell of meat?" Ai Lan looked at Gray Crow, but he didn't smell anything.
"Gray Crow, are you hungry now?"
"Yes, legion commander."
"Ren, what about you?"
"I feel a little hungry too."
Today is the second week of the second month after the game has been launched. This is the first time Ai Lan has encountered this kind of thing in such a long time.
"It's interesting. Come on, let's go take a look."
Looking for the so-called meat smell in the gray crow's mouth, Ai Lan and his party walked in the underground world for a while.
"Legion commander, look ahead."
There is a strange field ahead. The field is full of weeds and does not look like it has been cultivated by humans.
Due to the lighting problem, Ai Lan did not notice the strangeness here at the first time.
However, Ren, who possesses the eagle eye technique, can see this place very clearly.
"Brother, a bat fell inside."
Ai Lan searched the field for a while before she saw the bat in Ren's mouth.
Kurosawa【???】
"He seems to be an elite."
Just, why would a bat fall here?
It's really strange that there isn't even a ghost in the wilderness around here.
Ai Lan called a tree guard out and asked him to go into the field and drag the bat out.
During this period, the three of them had been on alert, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
But until Kurosawa was dragged in front of Ai Lan, nothing happened nearby.
"It seems we are nervous for nothing."
"Wake up, hey, wake up, brother."
This strange bat named Kurosawa smelled of alcohol, as if he simply drank too much.
Ai Lan screamed for a while and finally woke him up.
"Oh, what's wrong with me..."
"My head feels so dizzy."
"It seems you are indeed drunk."
Seeing strangers around him, Kurosawa finally woke up a little.
"Are you adventurers?"
"The wine worms and meat worms here are so delicious that I accidentally drank too much."
"Adventurers, can you send me back to the tribe?"
As soon as Kurosawa finished speaking, a system prompt rang in Ai Lan's ears.
"Ding, Kurosawa has issued a mission to you: Escort, yes/no accept."
"Escort: Protect the black-winged bat Kurosawa back to his tribe."
Ai Lan received a task out of nowhere. After thinking about it, Ai Lan chose to accept it.
The underground world is really too big. They are unfamiliar with the place and need a local native to help guide them.
Kurosawa's appearance is a rare good thing for them.
At this moment, the gray crow could not resist the temptation of the scent and grabbed a few handfuls in this strange field.
Several round fruits appeared in his hand.
The plants growing in this field are a bit strange. They look like small tomatoes and are round, but the color of the fruits is not red.
Kurosawa glanced at Gray Crow and crushed the fruits for him, and several fat worms came out of them.
"Brother Crow, these are wine bugs and meat bugs."
"Try it, don't eat too much."
As soon as these insects came out, Ai Lan and Renn immediately smelled a faint smell of meat and wine.
This smell is not particularly attractive to them, but it has an irresistible temptation in the eyes of gray crows.
A few worms twisted in his hand a few times, and then the gray crow stuffed them all into his mouth.
"It smells so good and delicious."
This strange wild land and these delicious large meat insects are actually unique products of Phoenix Mountain.
Bird paradise is not just talk.
"Don't eat too much." Ai Lan looked at Gray Crow's intoxicated appearance and suddenly felt worried.
"Go quickly, we will escort you back now."
Kurosawa's consciousness was still somewhat clear. As soon as Ai Lan took out the map, he clicked on it.
"This is it, my tribe is here."
Ai Lan looked at the map and found that it was completely empty, with nothing on it.
"Let's set off quickly. I don't know how long I've been drunk here. It will be troublesome if the tribe moves away."
It turns out that the tribe of black-winged bats is a nomadic tribe. They will only stay in one place for a period of time and then move away after a period of time.
Ai Lan thought about it for a while and felt that Kurosawa didn't seem to be lying, and the distance on the map wasn't too far.
This mission shouldn't be too dangerous.
"Ren, you carry Kurosawa on your back and we set off."
For creatures on land, the underground world is actually very dangerous.
But Phoenix Mountain has its own special features.
This is a paradise for birds, and any creature that does not belong to birds cannot stay here for a long time.
Therefore, the underground world here is not as dangerous as the main world.
Ai Lan and his party took Kurosawa and ran around in the underground world.
Unexpectedly, we didn't encounter any danger at all, and we arrived at the tribe of Black-Winged Bats smoothly.
The journey went so smoothly, it was almost like going on an outing.
After arriving at the tribe, the Kurosawa tribesmen immediately recognized his identity.
As the escort, Ai Lan was naturally invited into their tribe.
Only then did Ai Lan realize that Kurosawa was the young patriarch of this tribe.
As soon as Kurosawa returned, the tribe leader rushed out in a hurry.
If he comes back later, the tribe will start migrating, and then there will be real trouble.
Out of gratitude, the clan leader very generously gave out the best reward in the tribe: the ancestor totem to worship the black-winged bat.
The ancestral totem is a huge bat, standing in the center of the tribe.
At first, Ai Lan was a little confused as to what the reward was for.
However, after they completed the worship according to Kurosawa's instructions, the system prompt rang immediately.
"Ding, congratulations on getting Dark Vision [Elementary]."
Dark Vision: The ability to see in dark environments.
In addition, the Gray Crow has obtained Silent Flight [Elementary].
Silent flight: Reduce the sound produced during flight.
Renn obtained Blind Fight [Elementary].
Blind Fight: Move and fight while blinded.
I gained three skills at once, which was a huge surprise compared to the difficulty of the task.
Especially the silent movement obtained by Gray Crow is a very good skill for a scout.
After the rewards are released, the bat tribe begins to migrate.
Because Kurosawa has not returned yet, they have been waiting here for a long time.
If others want to migrate, Ai Lan and the others naturally cannot follow them.
Before leaving, Ai Lan asked the clan leader about the traces of the magic-eyed crow.
As soon as he heard this name, the patriarch's face became a little ugly.
"This is a very scary guy. If you look for it, you must pay attention to safety."
Only then did Ai Lan know that this magic-eyed crow was a powerful being with a total level exceeding level 15.
And their task is to capture it, which is several times more difficult than killing it.
Perhaps the gatekeeper meant to let them capture a descendant of the magic-eyed crow and take it back.
However, due to the racial habits of the beholder, there is a high probability that the newly born beholder will be killed immediately by the old beholder.
The magic-eyed crow is also a type of beholder, and of course it cannot escape this habit.
If possible, Ai Lan doesn't really want to fight against this powerful wild elite.
After all, this is Phoenix Mountain, and he has no time to keep a low profile, so he dares to act recklessly.
After receiving guidance from the tribe leader, Ai Lan successfully marked an area on the map.
If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to find the Magic Eye Crow's nest here.
Ai Lan's plan is to wander around here and if he can find any descendants of the Magic Eye Crow, he will capture one and bring him back.
If you can't find it, try to make contact with the magic-eyed crow.
Of course, the safest way is to return to the ground.
There are also many resources and tasks on the ground. If Ai Lan feels that the risk is too great, he can give up the task.
Just as they were about to leave the bat tribe, a baby's cry suddenly attracted Ai Lan's attention.
"baby!?"
Kurosawa saw that Ai Lan was very curious about the baby, so he took it from a woman's hands.
"This is the hope of our tribe."
"It's a little boy who is just one year old." Kurosawa picked his little penis and handed it to Ai Lan.
Ai Lan took the little bat, her eyes full of novelty.
He had never seen a baby in Ashan World.
Because babies in the Ashan world can walk as soon as they are born, run in one hour, talk in three hours, and have a clear mind in five hours.
Three days, according to Renn, when he is three days old, he can fight with a bow and arrow.
At one week old, he is almost an adult.
Even at this speed, it is slow.
The soldiers pulled out of the barracks are in adult form the first second after they are born.
"One year old, you're only that old."
“How long does it take to become an adult?”
"About three years, when he was three years old, he was almost ready to fight."
The growth period of the Black-Winged Bat is already short in Phoenix Mountain, and Kurosawa is obviously quite proud of it.
"Three years..."
Ai Lan has already become somewhat aware of the biggest rule difference between the outer realm and the main world.
Let alone three years, even three months, it takes three months for a soldier to develop combat effectiveness from birth.
The popularity of this game is about to plummet.
Players are here to play war games, not nanny games.
This kind of rule is obviously unlikely to appear in the main world.
"Don't you have military buildings here?"
"Military building? What is this?" Kurosawa's curious eyes said everything.
However, the leader of the bat tribe faintly heard something.
"You must be visitors from outside the land, right?"
"I heard that the buildings in the outer world can produce various living creatures just like puppets."
"The military building you mentioned should be this one."
"good."
The relationship between Phoenix Mountain and the main world is not hostile, and their identities have nothing to hide.
Ai Lan also found the patriarch's statement very interesting.
The soldiers pulled out of the military building are just like puppets.
Although there is a small chance that these soldiers will change against the will of heaven and become a real life.
But before that, there really wasn't much difference between them and puppets.
"If possible, I would like to exchange a military building with you." The Bat Patriarch suddenly made an interesting request.
"A building?"
"I do have the drawings in my hand, but you are a nomadic tribe, what's the use of building buildings?"
When he said this, Ai Lan saw several big bats, which had already loaded the huge ancestral totem onto the wooden cart.
"I don't know what the use is, I'm just curious and want to take a look."
"Okay, so what do you want to give in exchange?"
Ai Lan actually doesn't believe this nonsense.
It's just a blueprint, and it's not like he can't produce it. What this bat tribe wants to do has nothing to do with him.
As long as something is good enough, just change it.
