Chapter 284: Nightfall
Night falls, sunset mountains.
With the system prompt, Fang Xuan's consciousness also returned to his body next to the Magic Fountain at the top of Sunset Mountain.
Fang Xuan looked at the pitch-black surroundings, and immediately didn't say a word, not even looking at the attributes of the rules of fire, and hurriedly took out the [Antonidas Small World Space Hearthstone (Legendary)] from his backpack and read it.
1%…… 10%…… 100%。
Shout!
A circular portal with a twisted void and brilliant runes appeared out of thin air, and Fang Xuan didn't look back, he raised his feet and stepped into it.
As Fang Xuan left, this portal also disappeared into the night in an instant.
If Fang Xuan had looked down at Sunset Mountain just now, he could see players holding torches all over the mountain, and there were even local tyrant players who had turned on the primary magic lantern.

Bronze-level magic lanterns, sold in grocery stores in every town, but in limited quantities: 999, with a weekly refresh time.
Silver-level magic lanterns are also available for sale in general stores in normal cities, with an attribute increase that is double that of ordinary magic lanterns, and the price is 100 gold coins per lantern, which is also available in limited quantities.
There are also higher-end gold-level magic palace lamps in the main city and capital, whose attributes are twice as large as those of silver-level magic lanterns, and the price is 1000 gold coins per lamp, which is also available in limited quantities.
This is one of the reasons why almost no players will be active at night in the early stage, because if players don't have enough income at night, it will be a real loss, and they may not even consume enough money for torches and magic lamps when they are busy.
In the later stage, the major guilds raised rune masters, and the magic materials were relatively sufficient, and a large number of magic lamps could be made, and a large number of players began to be active in the field at night.
However, the players who can come here at this moment are almost all elite players from the three major cities around the Sunset Mountains, Blizzard City, DiGras City, and the towns under the jurisdiction of Coledel City.
There are also players who are not from local towns, but after seeing the previous god-level battle from afar, they have also teleported to the nearest town of the Sunset Mountain Range in the three major cities, intending to come here to try their luck in treasure hunting.
These elite players are generally level 15 or above, with at least silver equipment all over their bodies, and even high-end players with gold equipment shining all over their bodies as high as level 20, and they have clearly explored the use of torches and magic lanterns.
And those low-level players on the way here, either killed by the high-level monsters on the road, or they are not as cautious as those elite players, and fall into swamps, cliffs, canyons and other dangerous places, of course, there are some players who hang up inexplicably.
After the tentative scuffle at the time of the initial encounter, the elite players of the three major cities also acquiesced to each other's existence.
But for their own safety, the remaining elite players in the three major cities also began to spontaneously form teams of more than 24 people.
Judging by the density of the lanterns, there are almost a thousand player teams in total.
And now, they're all doing the same thing – looking around for treasures.
When searching for treasures, it is inevitable that there will be players chatting:
"Tut-tut, you see, the previous battle was definitely a god-level battle that didn't run, it's so terrifying, even more than a dozen mountains have been leveled, and this place has been beaten into a big basin, right?"
"Isn't it? In the games I played before, how could I see this kind of big scene of smashing mountains and rivers at every turn, and the game of creation is really too good. ”
"You say, will we players be able to have this kind of strength in the future?"
"If we players can have this kind of strength, it will be really cool!"
……
Of course, from time to time, there will be voices of surprise from players:
"It's in stock, wow, the corpse of the level 60 beast elite Earth Storm Bear! There are brothers in the team who have not skinned and practiced to level 60, come quickly! ”
"Whaha, look what I've picked up, a level 55 silver-level sunset leather armor shoulder pads! This is second-order equipment! ”
"Hehe, Lao Tzu also picked up a level 60 gold-level phoenix axe! Hold the grass and attack 460-580! Made, it's really the right time this time! ”
"Hehe, people also picked up a ring, a bronze-level creeper ring, although it doesn't have many attributes attached, but I heard that the three thousand shops in Blizzard City are collecting this kind of equipment, 1 gold coin each, you must know that the current 1 gold coin is worth hundreds of thousands of federal credit miles."
……
Hearing these obviously ostentatious voices, the other players who didn't find the treasure gritted their teeth and searched for it, and they almost dug three feet more into the ground around the Sunset Mountains.
Tell me about it!
Jingle Bell!
Just when these elite players were full of excitement and were in full swing to search for treasures, a player suddenly shouted:
"Damn, who is it that dares to kill someone from our team?"
"There are also people in our group who are hanging, Made, don't let Lao Tzu catch him, or I will kill you!"
"There's a situation, let's gather together! Hurry up! If you want to survive, don't look for treasures! ”
……
Call! Call! Call!
Mountain winds whistled by, many players' torches were blown out, and strange sounds rang out in the Sunset Mountains.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Shout! Shout! Shout!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
……
All the elite players invariably stopped searching for the treasure, and quickly gathered in a group, looking at the increasingly strange surroundings with wary eyes.
The atmosphere around them became extremely oppressive, and there was no longer the lighthearted joy and surprise that they had been during their treasure hunt before, only doubts and vigilance.
Something seems to really have appeared?
Suddenly, in the night outside the light of the magic lanterns of these elite player teams, countless pairs of eyes of different sizes and colors appeared.
These eyes, some of which are scarlet, look like broad beans; Some eyes are the size of green jujubes, with a terrible dark green light; There are fist-sized eyes that emit a faint blue light.
"Giggle......
"Quack Quack ......"
"Baha ......"
Accompanied by the terrifying screams around them, all the elite players remembered the phrase: "Don't go out at night!" ”
The atmosphere around us became more solemn.
When everyone was short of breath and overwhelmed, one of the huntress shouted:
"Everyone, be careful, I just looked at it with the eyes of a hunter's eagle, these are all question mark-level monsters!"
This shout immediately broke everyone's last bit of luck.
Looking at the eyes all over the mountains, everyone only felt that their scalps were numb, their backs were cold, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Fortunately, among these elite players, there are also well-informed high-end players, who immediately thought of a way and shouted:
"Quick, those who didn't enter the battle, read Hearthstone and return to the city immediately! Entered the battle of the people, organize the human wall protection! ”
"Do it!"
"Speed!"
……
This approach was supported by the majority of the population, and almost all elite teams of players did it.
In this way, these elite teams of players are divided into two types:
The first is the team of players who have not entered the battle, they can go back to the city directly by reading Hearthstone, and there is no loss of experience or equipment from death.
Now, their faces were filled with happiness, smiles for the rest of their lives, and a hint of schadenfreude in the depths of their eyes.
The second type is the team of players who deliberately entered the battle half a beat slower and were unable to use Hearthstone due to greed for treasure hunting during the previous retreat.
In the face of terrifying monsters with such a huge disparity in strength and number, it is obvious that they will definitely hang up, not to mention the experience of losing the current level, and if they are really unlucky, they may also drop their own equipment or other items.
At the same time as these players were acting, the pair of terrifying and weird eyes in the night outside also began to surround the players, getting closer and closer.
This feeling of death slowly approaching and inescapable of escaping quickly crumbling the players on the periphery who were in a bad state of mind.
They couldn't help but think to themselves: Made, why do you want Lao Tzu to be your royal highness?
"Nima's, if you want to die, let's die together!"
Finally, the first player to crash released a group skill into the monster horde!
Rumble!
MISS!
Dodge!
Deviate!
Block!
……
Patches of hints instantly popped up from the night outside.
Then, after finishing the skill, the person rushed into the inner crowd.
With the first, there was the second, and for a while, the teams that were originally fighting in the outer areas also followed suit.
We're going to die anyway, so it's better for everyone to die together.
"You #@¥)! ~&! ”
"I'm ......@#)~%&!"
All kinds of shouting and cursing came one after another, and the scene instantly became a mess.
Soon, all teams of players entered the battle.
At this moment, the selfishness of human nature is revealed.
And these players finally saw the true face of the countless eyes in those nights before they died.
It was one by one, one by one, with a transparent head and body!!
As the sound of cursing, howling, and falling to the ground quickly decreased, the scene gradually quieted down.
People die, the lights go out!
The pairs of terrifying eyes in the night soon disappeared into the night.
Call! Wow! Call!
Another bitter mountain breeze blew, and the night of the Sunset Mountains finally returned to its former tranquility.
In the cemeteries of the three towns closest to the Sunset Mountains, a series of angry souls appeared with pale faces.
These souls, you look at me, I look at you, and want to cry without tears.
Running corpses? Who would dare? Don't die enough, and want to die a few more times?
Don't run away? One level of gold coins!
Nima's, this Potter is a big loss!
But who is to blame for this?
