The edge of the jungle where the sound of waves is far away.
Musu wandered alone.
He remembered his destination and it was not difficult to find the missing others.
The layers of jungle receded to reveal a broken mountain, and Mu Su moved forward along the foot of the mountain. Soon, he found fresh blood stains among the rubble.
Mu Su narrowed his black eyes, picked up a stone, picked up a handful of gravel with his left hand, and quietly followed the direction of the blood stain.
After arriving at a depression made of rocks, Mu Su saw Lina leaning against the rock, her head hanging down, and her palms covering her abdomen that was soaked with blood.
The bloodstains extended to her feet.
Snapped--
The stone fell and Mu Su hurried to Lina's side.
After hearing the footsteps, Lina raised her head, surprise appeared on her pale cheeks, and fell into Mu Su's arms. She raised her blood-stained palm, gently touched Mu Su's brow, and said weakly: "The day I die, will you -"
The sound stopped suddenly, and Mu Su pinched Lina's neck with an expressionless expression.
Lina slapped Mu Su away angrily, and no longer looked like she was about to die: "All the other players are dead, and I am the only one left."
Mu Su was shocked from morning to night: "How did you die!"
"The monster in the cave. I'm almost out of blood. Kallen asked me to tell you...ahem..." Lina coughed out some unladylike blood foam and her voice became smaller and smaller.
"Hey, why did you run away..."
Lina's head drooped, completely lifeless.
"What do you mean?" Mu Su asked blankly, only to find that Lina was dead.
"no no!!!"
Mu Su hugged Lina's body, which was losing its temperature, and shouted to the sky: "I can't guess this riddle! Guess! No! Come on!"
…
At the same time, there is a chat window outside the game.
Transparent Bridge (all): This is also one of the possibilities.
Nineteen-year-old girls (all): I’m coming too!
Transparent Bridge (all): Well, our entire army was wiped out...
Nineteen-year-old girl (all): No, I will hold on until Mu Su comes back!
Transparent Bridge (all): Is he still alive? Yes, it might be safer outside.
Transparent Bridge (all): Have you told him what happened to us?
Nineteen-year-old girl (all): Yes, I have conveyed Karen's last words.
Kallen (all): Hey, hey, wait a minute... But you ran away before I even said anything...
Nineteen-year-old girl (all): Yeah...
Karen (all): Right?
Nineteen-year-old girl (all): Mu Su will not impulsively seek revenge for me...
Karen (all): Huh?
Realizing that these two idiots were not on the same channel, Transparent Bridge interrupted their delicate conversation and asked Lina to remind Musu not to get close to the mountain. If possible, try to explore deeper into the Broken Lennon Islands.
Transparent Bridge (all): We guess that the mantis monsters should identify our location based on the sound. If Mu Su encounters them, stay quiet.
When Lina came back after calling Mu Su, Blazing God asked about the next arrangements.
Transparent Bridge (all): The day after tomorrow is the fourth round of the championship. Let’s watch the game first and then think about the next exploration. It just so happens that I can catch up on some lessons.
Know a Man by Smell (All): Me too!
Blazing God (all): Well, see you the day after tomorrow.
…
The fourth round of the Death Tournament is different because the venue is in the overworld.
For example, get more attention.
Although the third round is also the background of the main world, it is not reality. Strictly speaking, it is just a copy of what happened thousands of years ago. What the players do has no impact on reality.
Apart from knowing part of the background of the main world, Tarn learned nothing.
But this time, the tournament is more informative and valuable.
So in the first two days of December, the game tribe was full of discussions among players.
Guess the fourth round mechanism, guess where to start.
Some players claiming to be "insiders" and "player friends" leaked information on the forum. The most credible one at present is that the tournament actually started on December 1st - the 3rd was just the time they arrived at the competition venue.
The evidence is that among the forty-four unlucky players in the Death Tournament, one player announced on the 1st that he had no time and regretfully withdrew from the competition.
In any case, there are still a few minutes until 0:00 on December 3, and players are logging in to the game one after another to watch the official live broadcast or player live broadcast.
At 0:00, players learned the truth that "the tournament started on December 1st."
This is a cutscene.
The protagonists are forty-three contestants and an old, small boat covered with dead barnacles and with a broken mast, resembling an old whale.
Living on Wanghai Cliff, they discovered an old ship stranded offshore. After calling each other, they boarded the ship in a small boat.
But after everyone boarded the boat, it suddenly started moving on its own and left the sea.
The worried people ran from the cabin to the deck, but it was too late to leave... They could only let the old ship take them and sail towards the distant depths of the Dead Sea——
They went through a lot, resisting storms, hiding in the cabin after strange things boarded the ship, and dispelling the strange fog.
On the third day of drifting, players who were watching the sea on the deck suddenly rushed into the cabin.
"There's land out there!"
One after another they came from the cabin to the deck.
A broken island emerged in the mist ahead.
At the same time, a line of messy pencil drawings appeared in front of the ship.
【Welcome to Lennon Islands】
【once】
[This place is now deserted and bustling]
【Cold and noisy】
[It has only undergone two changes]
[The first time is the first time people set foot on this island]
【The second time is now】
[Everything hidden will be revealed by you]
【But before that——】
The writing suddenly stopped.
Vibrations came from the bottom of the ship, and the players on the deck swayed.
The bottom of the boat hit the shallows.
They have arrived.
…
Transparent Bridge and others gathered in front of the "Second World" screen. Everyone except Mu Su was here.
They each held potato chips or drinks, looking forward to the next story.
There are many highlights in the competition. For example, they understand the background of the main world, and their companion Yinghua is present as one of the forty-three contestants, and——
"This place looks familiar..." Transparent Bridge held the potato chips and put them into his mouth, narrowing his eyes slightly.
She saw many familiar things... rocks, deep pits under rocks, broken mountains, and woods behind the coastline.
"What's the difference?"
Smell the fragrant smell and feel a twinge of sadness. Taking advantage of Transparent Bridge's unpreparedness, she slurps out the potato chips in Transparent Bridge's hand.
Transparent Bridge sighed helplessly, snapped his fingers, and countless potato chips fell from the sky, drowning the smell.
"This is where we landed." Blazing God spoke in a low voice.
"Sure enough..." Transparent Qiao nodded slightly, suddenly realized something, turned around and asked the others: "Is Mu Su dead?"
Wow——
Wen Xiang, who had his head popping out of the bag of potato chips, replied: "No, Lina knows best."
"He's still alive. He seems to have been tinkering with something these past two days." Lina said, holding her chin up and watching the contestants on the screen trying to find a way to leave the ship.
Transparent Bridge and Blazing God looked at each other.
