The tent isolated Lu Li from the competition. He did not leave the place again.
The businessman Anthony brought several biographical novels to let Lu Li kill time and replenish the ammunition for the [Crown of Knowledge]. The stories were easier to remember, and the novels he had read were marked by Lu Li.
It’s just that there is no chance to test the power of [Crown of Knowledge] for the time being.
Will Ken has not appeared since he left the prompt in the second level. Maybe he fell into deep sleep for some reason, or maybe his previous actions have exhausted his accumulated power.
As time went by, more and more players came to the camp through the three levels. Although the three forbidden areas were enough to screen out more than half of the people, and the four camps also dispersed them. However, the huge base of players still meant that each forbidden area had hundreds of players.
At first, Ole Lorenzo would visit Lu Li every once in a while. After confirming that Lu Li was really no longer interested in the future, he finally teamed up with his companions from the Noble Council to take over the mission.
Although he wanted to stay like Lu Li, the family still had high hopes for him and pushed Ole Lorenzo forward.
The last time he arrived was on the afternoon of the next day, bringing with him a former companion of Lu Li: the silver-haired Margaret.
Lu Li's once indifferent teammate was now riddled with scars, his silver hair was burned with half of his face, and he looked as ferocious as a roasted egg. The iris and pupil of his right eye melted from the surface of the sclera, solidifying and becoming cloudy.
She brought news of Kiruait's death: Sadly, Margaret was unable to complete the forest hut and retrieve the memory of the second level, and she did not even know why her companions died.
It is completely opposite to the dungeon incident. Those who died then are alive now, and those who were alive then are dead.
It’s just that Margaret was resurrected in the end, what about them?
Looking at Margaret who had lost his best friend and was equally miserable himself, Lu Li thought: Does the competition really protect these players so that they will not die or suffer harm?
The potion provided by Lu Li gradually helped Margaret escape from serious injuries and weakness. However, when Lu Li took out the potion to restore her skin, Margaret chose to refuse and left Lu Li's tent with a beautiful yet ferocious look.
Maybe it's to take revenge, maybe it's to remember the dead companions.
Lu Li could have asked Margaret to stay or told her that they were still alive, but at the moment he was still in the state of "not yet sobered up" as described by Vice President Chris. Facing Margaret's departure, Lu Li was indifferent and said nothing.
Do.
"You still don't want to leave? Okay."
Ole Lorenzo also left soon. He seemed fine, but his melancholy was replaced by bone-crushing exhaustion.
The tent returned to calm...but in the darkness, some kind of life was being born.
Lu Li finally changed and began to pay attention to what was happening in the camp.
What is happening in the outside world keeps coming: most of the contestants walking out of the fog gate are injured, and more and more contestants entering the third level make the crowded forest hut even denser than the first level, and competition is inevitable. If
It’s not that fighting is prohibited around the camp, and there are no rewards for eliminated players, this place will soon turn into a purgatory.
The camp was obviously protected by power and was not engulfed by the primitive darkness on the surface and the surging existence in the pitch black. It was advancing at a constant speed with the other three camps. As of now, the players in the southern camp have advanced to the middle of the Bloody Farm, and are only a few steps away from the lair that occupies the manor.
Five or six miles.
On the afternoon of Lu Li's third day at the camp, many players gathered outside his tent.
They knew about Lu Li's existence and visited in the hope that the exorcist could help.
It's not just attacks or weirdness by players from other camps in the wild that reduce the number of players. Their real dilemma is the lack of medicine.
It is difficult for players to escape from the third level unscathed. Having consumed almost all supplies, they cannot purchase potions sold in the market, which require resources or contributions in exchange.
Without resources, they can only leave the camp to perform tasks and gain contributions, but they must contribute before they can recover from their injuries and go out to perform tasks.
The result of this vicious cycle gathered outside Lu Li's tent: Players from the camps that hated each other stood together. Except for the mysterious Midnight Church believers who had never shown up, players from the nine camps of the Bloodline Family Alliance were all here.
The "time" mentioned by Professor Chris also seems to be beginning to ferment.
"Trade in the camp." Lu Li called the merchant Anthony, and after a slight pause, he added: "Credit is allowed."
The young geniuses from their respective camps cheered and applauded like ordinary people. Lu Li watched them follow the merchants to the market and return to the quiet tent.
It was just that Lu Li couldn't pay attention to the half-read "Eureka's Exploits". Maybe it was because of the suppressed groans of pain near the tent, maybe because he slowed down his steps when passing outside the tent, maybe because some force was subtly changing
Himself, perhaps the membrane between him and the world has dissipated again...
When the painful moans from the tent next door gradually weakened, Lu Li left the tent and got into the tent where evil power was surging.
The silhouette lying on the simple sleeping bag barely maintained vigilance, but could do nothing in the face of the intruder: "Who are you..."
"Doctor, do you know your situation?"
Zhijie doesn't believe in any bullshit doctors, but the camp that prohibits private fighting gives him a glimmer of hope: "I still have reason... but the pollution is spreading..."
Lu Li observed the young man's wounds... The surface of his legs was pitted and rotten, but the pollution did not spread anymore. The camp suppressed the spread of all pollution. This was just an illusion caused by the continuous severe pain.
"Be patient, it will hurt a little."
Lu Li put his left hand on the rotten skin, snorting the green smoke and screaming in severe pain to remove the contamination, and then poured a bottle of recovery potion into him.
"Who are you……"
The silhouette covered in cold sweat asked before falling asleep due to relaxation.
Lu Li didn't answer. He walked out of the tent with turbid air and came to the market to tell the merchant Anthony: "Let Ole Lorenzo come back."
"...Unable to contact." Businessman Anthony said after a pause.
Lu Li was silent for a moment and continued, "Where's Margaret?"
"Same."
Lu Li lowered his dark eyes slightly, looked around at the players waiting for the deal, and entrusted them with this matter: bring all injured players to the flagstone square of the camp.
Lu Li arrived at the camp square. Contestants who either believed or doubted arrived one after another, and there were more onlookers.
Letting the injured gather around him, Lu Li released the power of [Tree Whisperer].
The projection of the jade-like lush saplings appeared behind them, spreading fluorescent light, and the injured people around them were instantly immersed in a heady, life-like atmosphere under the sun.
At the same time, the fog gate surged in the distance, and a strong silhouette with a ponytail stepped out.
"I'm not late, am I?"
The wound made by the sharp blade on Claire's cheek healed visibly, and she came to Lu Li's side.
"Will dead players really be resurrected?" Lu Li just asked.
"Why do you ask?"
Claire was slightly startled, her eyes scanning the tranquility around her that was contrary to the depressing surface: "You will know the answer, all I can say is..."
