The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the continuous raindrops fell towards the forest, but they were blocked by the dense canopy of trees, accumulated on the leaves, and finally fell on the damp forest floor, forming muddy pools.
In the dark forest, a fierce battle has come to an end.
Zhao Xi moved quickly like a ghost, and suddenly passed between two level 23 ghost beasts. The war blade pulled out a long scar on the opponent's waist on the right, and the lavender body fluid followed.
It splashed onto the ground.
-285!
The ghost beast, which had exhausted most of its HP, could no longer bear it and whined and turned into a puff of light smoke.
Zhao Xi suddenly stopped and turned around. As he swung his arm, the bloodthirsty war blade brought out a bright and beautiful light path, and struck hard on the back of another shadow beast!
-241!
Roar~
The ghost beast let out a painful howl, jumped up suddenly, and turned around to fight back.
But before it could reach out to Zhao Xi again, the war blade that Zhao Xi had just retracted suddenly thrust forward like lightning, piercing its mouth with great precision, and immediately penetrated its entire head!
-322!
The blade containing sacred power caused greater damage to the undead monster. It shuddered and followed in the footsteps of its companions.
Two crystal clear soul cores fell to the ground one after another.
And around Zhao Xi, there are more than a dozen identical soul cores scattered around!
Each soul core represents a fierce ghost beast, and all the soul cores prove how tragic the battle that just ended was.
Any player who has been through the Shadow Forest will not be able to believe his eyes when he sees such a scene, because even a team with complete professional skills will have to spend a lot of effort to annihilate the siege of more than a dozen Shadow Beasts.
, you might get wiped out by the group if you're not careful.
Killing a group of ghost beasts single-handedly is an incredible miracle!
But for Zhao Xi, this has long been a common occurrence. He has accumulated more than 400 soul cores in his backpack, enough to complete the same mission twice.
Zhao Xi has been wandering in the Ghost Forest for three days.
Endless battles, omnipresent undead, and inescapable opponents. If it had been other players, they would have collapsed and gone offline, or died in battle and resurrected.
But Zhao Xi is still alive and well. For three days, he has been wandering around the outskirts of the Haunted Forest, playing hide-and-seek with the players of the Black Skull Guild and fighting with the Haunted Beasts in the forest. The more he fights, the stronger he gets!
Whether it is level 22, level 23, or the most dangerous level 24 ghost beast, Zhao Xi has a thorough understanding of their attack characteristics, movement speed and refresh rules. A dozen of them can appear casually, and it is difficult for them to pose a fatal threat to him.
.
The original PK value of 2 points from the murder had automatically dissipated two days ago.
But Zhao Xi didn't feel much relaxed in his heart. Because the prompts that the space coordinates were locked have become more and more frequent in the past two days, and he encountered other players in the forest less and less.
The Black Skull Guild has long since given up the bounty on him, but their real trump card is hidden.
Zhao Xi could almost smell the dangerous smell in the air, getting closer and closer to him!
System prompt: You are locked by space chain detection, space coordinate ZKP.8662.1285!
Fucking shit!
Zhao Xi spat on the ground bitterly. Such system prompts now come every 10 minutes. It is more accurate than a woman's aunt, and she has no idea when it will end.
He understood very well that Huamanlou used the space chain to continuously detect his own coordinates for a long time. On the one hand, he provided information to his pursuers, and on the other hand, he also exerted mental pressure on himself.
In the forest of ghosts, which is full of dangers, most people will feel upset and angry when they continue to see such shocking reminders, and may even have the idea of just fighting.
However, Zhao Xi is not an ordinary person, let alone an ordinary player!
Picking up the soul core on the ground, he quickly escaped into the depths of the woods, and quickly disappeared under the cover of dense vines and trees.
Not long after, Zhao Xi appeared next to a pond surrounded by trees.
He stopped and looked around warily.
Suddenly, a black figure silently appeared behind him, the dagger in his hand flashing with a cold light.
"Brother Niu..."
The gentle call made Zhao Xi suddenly turn around.
But when he saw the other person's appearance clearly, the vigilance in his eyes suddenly turned into relaxed: "Little duck!"
The ID name of the thief lurking here is Tang Xiaoya, a level 20 thief player in the Black Skull Guild, but he also has another identity, that is, the best friend of the prodigal son in the border town!
Without the information provided by this dear friend, Zhao Xi really would not know the movements of the Black Skeleton Union and the Death Squadron led by Hua Manlou. At the same time, it was he who had been providing supplies and logistical support to Zhao Xi.
The two communicated through the friend channel and agreed on the coordinates of the joint in advance. Donald Duck was responsible for providing medicine, food and repairing equipment that had exhausted its durability.
Tang Xiaoya directly sent a transaction application. Zhao Xi took off his armor and shield and handed it over. After confirming the completion, he took back his bloodthirsty battle shield and green beast armor.
Tang Xiaoya asked: "Brother Niu, do you really not want the potion?"
After changing back to his original equipment, Zhao Xi was in a good mood. He patted his backpack and said: "There are still a lot of potions, enough for two or three days."
At the beginning, he fought hard in the Ghost Forest and used a lot of medicine. He asked Tang Xiaoya to deliver supplies twice, but later the consumption of supplies slowed down greatly.
Tang Xiaoya gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Niu is Brother Niu, and the Ghost Forest can be his own backyard!"
Zhao Xi shook his head: "How can it be so exaggerated?"
If the entire Yinhun Forest is regarded as a circle with a radius of 100 meters, then Zhao Xi can go deep from the outer circle to about two or three meters at most. The strongest monster he encounters is the level 24 Yinhun Beast and the stronger Yinhun Wizard.
, knights, etc. have not been encountered yet, let alone the BOSS inside!
Tang Xiaoya hehe: "Brother Niu, you are too humble. I got news that two skeleton teams have come to the Ghost Forest to hunt you down in the morning. Even if there are coordinate prompts, you can't be found."
Skeleton Squad?
Zhao Xi's heart moved: "How many people are there?"
Tang Xiaoya said: "The information I can get is limited. I only know that there are 12 of them. They are all high-level thieves and professional masters in the union!"
He was very curious: "Brother Daniu, how did you get rid of their tracking?"
Thieves have tracking skills and can track their targets based on the traces they leave on the ground.
12 high-level thieves tracked a paladin, but they couldn't catch him for most of the day. The most important thing was that Zhao Xi was obviously unaware of it before.
This made Tang Xiaoya, who was also a thief, feel very unbelievable, so he couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Xi smiled and pointed to the vines hanging down from the tree next to him: "Just don't leave traces on the ground!"
He didn't have the ability to predict the future, and it wasn't Tang Xiaoya who provided the information. Of course he didn't know that the Black Skull Union had dispatched two teams of elite thieves to hunt him down.
But after using vines to lure monsters and eliminate a large number of opponents, he consciously used the same method to avoid being tracked by thieves.
As long as there are no traces of movement on the ground, whether it is a thief or an assassin, the tracking skill will be ineffective.
This is not a secret, but it is very difficult to do unless you have anti-tracking skills, and Zhao Xi's use of vines in the forest is undoubtedly a clever trick.
Tang Xiaoya suddenly realized: "High!"
Zhao Xi smiled and took out the two pieces of equipment he got today from his backpack and traded them to Tang Xiaoya: "Thank you for your hard work. Pay attention to safety and don't be discovered by them. I'm leaving first!"
Zhao Xi believed in the prodigal son from the border town and also believed in Tang Xiaoya, but this did not mean that he believed that Tang Xiaoya's help to him was natural and reasonable.
So when they met for the first time, Zhao Xi took the reward and came out. Although Tang Xiaoya was determined not to do it, he was finally persuaded by Zhao Xi.
Tang Xiaoya is a semi-professional player with an average level of success. It is commendable that he can resist the temptation of Black Skeleton's high bounty. Zhao Xi can't explain himself if he doesn't give him some benefits.
Because there was a precedent, Tang Xiaoya accepted it happily: "Thank you, Brother Niu!"
He took two steps back and disappeared quietly among the trees.
