Chapter 536: Sandstorm
The whining wind howls like a wolf, whistling across the earth.
The flags on the earthen wall were blown crooked by the strong winds, and even broke directly from the flagpole.
The sky was dark, and yellow sand and gravel danced wildly in the air, rustling the tents.
The sandstorm is coming......
For the dead desert full of yellow sand, sandstorms are a common weather.
And after starting the Death Desert plot, players have not encountered it.
However, this is the first time that such a large sandstorm has been encountered.
The sky is dark, and the sand is flying.
It's daytime, but the whole world feels like it's night.
The home of the Nature's Heart Guild.
Li Mu stayed in his tent, listening to the howling wind beating against the tent.
He looked at the time of the game system, walked to the tent door, and carefully lifted a corner of the tent......
As he moved, the wind poured in, carrying a dense cloud of yellow sand and raining down on his face.
For a moment, Li Mu only felt a tingling pain on his face, and a feeling of suffocation came to his face.
He coughed a few times, quickly closed the door of the tent, and easily lowered his pain.
In a matter of moments, a layer of yellow sand had accumulated on the ground.
After a few snorts to spit out the sand and dust that was poured into his mouth when he coughed, Li Mu couldn't help but curse:
"What the hell is the weather...... What a waste of time. ”
"Elven Country" is good or something.
It's just that sometimes it's too much of a sense of realism, which can bring all kinds of inconveniences.
Take this kind of sandstorm weather, for example, it will last for half a day to a day.
And during this time period, players can't go out at all, otherwise they will experience what is called sandstorm suffocation.
If you are not careful, you may be sent back to the World Tree by GG......
No way.
Even if the players are getting stronger and stronger, the breathing still has to be carried out normally.
You can't breathe at all in this extreme weather, and even a silver player will suffocate to death if you stay outside for a long time.
And there are precedents for this......
Sighing, Li Mu shook his head helplessly.
It's been two days since the orc attack.
After the sortie ended in a fiasco, the orcs felt as if they were scared, and they nested in and around Sandstorm City and never came out again.
And the players had to continue to pick up the previous strategy and start attacking the tribes near the orcs.
And today, Li Mu's original plan was to take the members of the guild and continue to go out to find the orc tribe that could be raided.
But now it looks like it's going to be in the soup......
The sandstorm is coming.
Players can only stay in their tents, or teleport back to the Elven Forest through the dug tunnels, or simply go offline and wait for the sandstorm to pass before logging into the game......
It's just fine if that's the case.
With the acceleration of thinking, players can find a thousand ways to have fun, even if they stay in a tent.
Chasing dramas, playing cards, writing homework, chatting codewords, anything.
The one-to-four thinking is accelerated, and many things can be cool, which is equivalent to three times the time of prostitution.
But Li Mu was thinking about another thing......
"There are fewer and fewer loot to be obtained, and everyone's cohesion has begun to dissipate, and it can't be delayed any longer."
He shook his head.
The war has been going on in the game for months.
The army also went out for more than half a month.
During this period, with high mission rewards and abundant loot attraction, players maintained an amazing cohesion and became more and more courageous.
It's just that the war is getting longer and longer, and many things have limits......
For example, the enthusiasm of the players.
The enthusiasm of the players is based on the profits.
And as there are fewer and fewer orc tribes that can fight, it is obvious that everyone's enthusiasm has faded.
In addition, although the previous battle was a beautiful victory, some players who didn't play much didn't have a good time......
Under the superposition, in the player camp in the past two days, there have been cases of players leaving the team one after another.
This is something Li Mu didn't expect.
A victory, although it repels the army of orcs, also consumes the player's cohesion......
Of course, there are solutions.
Just keep finding a half-orc tribe that can fight.
As long as there is a greater good, players will choose to stay, just as they did ten days ago.
It's just that some time ago, the players robbed too hard, and the nearby tribes have almost been ruined.
And those who have not been visited by the players have mostly begun to retreat.
Especially after the failed attack of the orcs......
So...... The results of the players' battles are getting fewer and fewer.
The loot is not enough for players, and it is not uncommon for some people to choose to return to the Elven Forest or the Underworld to farm monsters.
Take this opportunity to return to the Elven Forest to play, isn't it fragrant?
Why stay here and wait?
When it's time for the decisive battle, just rush over again!
This is what many people think.
It's just that when you scatter, it's easy to disperse, and it's hard to get together again.
It's too far from the Elven Forest, and with the distraction of the orcs' beliefs, even if the players rely on the Crypt Spider to dig a tunnel five kilometers long enough and successfully set up a teleportation circle in the north, the ability to teleport is quite impressive......
If the army really disperses, there will really be no way to assemble it in a short time.
And now this terrible sandstorm is even worse.
Thinking of this, Li Mu sighed again.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of pounding from outside his tent......
Li Mu was taken aback, and subconsciously shouted:
"Who?"
Outside the tent, there was a cough:
"Ahem, ahem...... Brother Mu, it's me! Transfiguration Ji Gang! ”
Transfiguration Ji Gang?
Li Mu was stunned, then opened the tent door, and immediately after, a player wrapped in a cloak and a mask, with a layer of sand and dust on his body, slipped in.
It's the leader of the Autobot Guild, transforming Ji Gang.
The strong wind swept the yellow sand into the tent, and Li Mu hurriedly closed the tent door.
And the deformed Ji Gang, who entered the tent, took off his cloak and took off his mask, and while shaking off the yellow sand on his body, he complained:
"This sandstorm is really scary...... The yellow sand outside is already more than half a meter deep, and it really blows for a day, and I'm afraid our camp will be buried......"
"yes, it's horrible."
Li Mu nodded in agreement.
However, there are no worries.
Being buried in sand or anything is not a problem in a game world where magic exists.
"Well, drink some tea to warm up."
Li Mu took out the flower tea from the Elven Forest from his home and poured a cup for the Transfiguration Ji Gang.
Transfiguration Ji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took it, and praised at the same time:
"Haha, I know that Brother Mu has good things here!"
Li Mushu laughed, and then said:
"Don't be poor, aren't you and Xiao Xianmeow playing werewolf killing? How did you come up with the idea of running to me here? ”
"Harm, it's not like I was playing and suddenly chatting about the next battle plan, and then I had some ideas, I was going to say it directly in the chat group, but I think it's better to discuss it with Brother Mu in person. Hey...... By the way, I will surprise you with Brother Mu! ”
What's next?
In-person discussions?
Li Mu was stunned.
Before he could say anything, there was another series of knocking sounds outside his tent.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Transfiguration Ji just drank the flower tea, then wrapped herself in a homemade "mask" and opened the tent door.
Then, another barrage of guys in coats came in.
In the blink of an eye, the small tent was packed with more than a dozen players......
And their IDs are also the ones that Li Mu is most familiar with.
Salty meow, coo bird, amaranth, demacia, tomato sautéed......
They were dusty, dusty, and covered with dust.
Hmm, no.
There are exceptions.
For example, the little salty meow.
Unlike the others covered in yellow sand, she was spotless and seemingly unaffected by the sandstorm.
However, if you look closely at her equipment, you will see that the incomparably gorgeous magic robe on her body is shining brightly.
That's a special effect that only appears when activating the magic on the robe.
To be rich is to be capricious, and to be rich is to be able to do whatever you want.
I saw Xiao Xian Meow pulling the arm of the cooing bird, and the first one squeezed over, and at the same time greeted with a smile:
"Hey, Brother Mu! We're going to interrupt! ”
And the two of them squeezed in, and the two of them scanned back and forth in the tent with wide eyes, while swallowing:
"I heard that there is flower tea from Miss Alice here? Where, where? I'm thirsty! ”
"Bah, bah, bah...... This hell weather has eaten my mouthful of dirt. ”
Demacia, who followed him, wiped his mouth, coughing and spitting sand.
"Self-inflicted. Who told you not to wear a mask? If you don't suffocate, it's your fate. ”
Fried tomatoes with tomatoes rolled their eyes and complained unceremoniously.
After that, the high-level leaders of several other key guilds also attended.
"Let's let one let let one, hey...... You've stepped on my feet! ”
"This place is so small......"
The players chattered, and the originally quiet tent suddenly became lively.
Li Mu: ......
He looked at the high-level leaders of the major guilds that appeared all of a sudden, and was a little stunned for a while.
"Why are you all here?"
He asked.
"Hey! Isn't this the time to play the game and talk about the next battle plan? Everyone has a new idea......"
"It's all to blame Brother Mu, you play together, otherwise it will be discussed online."
"Don't mention it, you can still talk about the battle plan when you play Werewolf Kill, you guys are really poisonous."
"Anyway, why didn't Brother Mu come?"
"Hehe, he didn't come because of the dish, obviously he was an anchor."
"Wouldn't it? There won't really be a streamer who won't play Werewolf Kill, right? What age is this? No way? ”
Li Mu: ......
A dozen players said a word, and after a while, they deviated from the topic.
In the end, it was Li Mu who clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.
"Getting to the point."
He said.
The players looked at each other, and finally it was Amaranth who stepped forward and grinned:
"Brother Mu, do you have any ideas to make a big news after the sandstorm is over?"
"Big news?"
Li Mu raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, after Sandstorm City, let's take the initiative to attack the orcs!"
Said with a wave of his fist.
