It's another warm winter day, and this is true in reality, and the same is true in the game.

However, Fan Yuntian's face was full of gloom, and the NPC kid was still haunted by An Ran's sudden departure yesterday.

"You said you were going to watch the stars with me at night, and you fucking ended up running faster than a dog." Fan Yuntian puffed out his cheeks and muttered.

"What do you say? Be louder! Beside him was the sound of the huge water flowing from the waterfall hitting the rocks, and An Ran couldn't hear it very clearly.

"Lao Tzu is saying that what you promised me doesn't count—adventurers are not good people!" Fan Yuntian yelled.

This time, An Ran heard it thoroughly, it turned out that this kid blamed himself for not raising a bonfire to watch the stars with him? An Ran decided that he had to explain something to this NPC child born in the virtual world of Huaxia, otherwise there would be ** annoyance in the future.

The sun rises in the east, and the gentle sunlight shines into the entire mountain col, dispelling the morning mist while illuminating the deep pool sparkling. The edge of the deep pool is covered with stones of various sizes, which are rounded and smooth by the flowing water.

The handsome man suddenly noticed that something was shining in the water near the shore of the deep pool, he left the stone path and rolled up his trouser leg and stepped into the water, An Ran stretched out a hand to fish it out of the water.

It is a transparent stone the size of an egg, it is oval-shaped, smooth and rounded, and very beautiful. An Ran held it in his hand and looked at the sun, and found that there was a red thing inside the stone, which was flowing slightly like life, like a flickering flame; Like a blooming rose; Like a lover's hair.

"How pretty, isn't it?" An Ran took the stone in his hand and shook it at Fan Yuntian, "Don't be angry anymore, I'll give it to you." He said loudly with a grin.

"Put it away!" Fan Yuntian shouted anxiously, "Your blood volume is decreasing Brother An Ran." ”

An Ran saw the strangeness of his servant and threw the stone on the ground.

Fan Yuntian stretched out his hand with a suspicious face, touched the stone and quickly retracted it.

"Shhh It's hot! The NPC kid sucked his index finger and said, then he quickly took off the cloth bag on his back, found the "Jinguo Geographical Magazine" from it and flipped through it.

"Hot? How do I not think? Then An Ran seemed to remember something, "That's right! Lao Tzu is an adventurer who has no sense of touch. ”

"You've been burned Brother Enron." Fan Yuntian continued to flip through the books without raising his head.

An Ran looked up, and sure enough, in the upper left corner of his vision, his red bar, which represented the amount of blood, had been shortened by a quarter.

"Found it, it's ...... Fire Marble?" Fan Yuntian suddenly became excited, and the NPC kid pointed to the picture on the page for his master to read together, "This is the Fire Marble Stone!" Brother An Ran, I said before that the treasure of Qingyun Mountain has it. ”

"Is it precious?" An Ran came and squatted down with interest and watched with Fan Yuntian.

The book says this: Fire Cloud Stone - Treasure of the Mountain, unique to Xiyue Qingyun, is one of the important materials for building fire-based attribute equipment; It is also a precious object for practitioners to refine their physique.

The fire that was originally wrapped in the magma was brought to the earth, and in the extremely cold environment, the magma quickly cooled to form rocks, and the fire in the magma was not burned out, but changed from gas to liquid and was wrapped in it, and after 10,000 years of precipitation and rain, the impurities in the rock were removed, and finally this transparent and round special crystal was formed.

After reading the introduction in the book, An Ran grew his mouth, whether it is precious or not, the master brain of Huaxia is also too good at introducing, the explanation of the formation of fire marble is completely unreasonable, and there must be several conditions for combustion: combustibles, combustibles, ignition points, without these conditions, the flame would have been extinguished long ago, and it can also become a liquid, can you believe it?

But whether An Ran believes it or not, there are a few green grasses next to the fire marble that are beginning to smoke.

"Nonsense!" Fan Yuntian stepped on the smoky grass with a few feet and said, "Put it away quickly, your adventurer's backpack is simply incompatible, as if you can fit anything." “

An Ran threw the fire cloud stone into his personal package, although he didn't know how to use it now, and what exactly it was precious, but it was definitely a wise move to turn it into private property, and the handsome young man planned to try his luck in Shentan again.

"It's cold!"

Just as An Ran was about to go into the water to search, Fan Yuntian, who was one step ahead of him, had already made contact with the water.

"It's a cold pool, and you can't go into the water." The NPC kid quickly retracted his right foot from the water, and his health was reduced a bit.

"That's it?" The young man stared at the deep pool with blank eyes and felt very pity.

"Hey! Let's go! Let's go! Fan Yuntian shook his head helplessly, "Who called us so weak?" Without a strong physique and strong energy, I am afraid that if you go into this deep pool without drowning, you will freeze to death, and it is too noisy to find a place to eat something. ”

Indeed, what Fan Yuntian said was not unreasonable, at present, this deep pool was extremely cold, and with their current level and cultivation, they could not withstand the erosion of this cold qi at all. Even if An Ran is a player, he can't feel the piercing pain after entering the water, but his game character 'An Ran' can't stand it, and maybe he will die before he dives underwater. Some things belong to the strong, and they will not fall into the homes of ordinary people, in fact, An Ran can find this fire marble in the shallows of the deep pool, which is already her love. So although An Ran was reluctant, he could only leave reluctantly.

The master and servant carefully stepped on the slippery and mossy stone slabs, and the cat passed by the mist-shrouded waterfall, and the snow-white waterfall that flowed straight down seemed to be the beard on the mouth of an ancient old man, and the rumbling sound was like the old man saying goodbye to them.

The road winds upwards around the mountain, with gray-white stone walls on one side and bottomless cliffs on the other, and the road begins to become difficult and steep.

They found a wider section of the road to rest in place, An Ran took out the food in the bag and chatted with Fan Yun while eating, Fan Yuntian felt hungry, and An Ran had to replenish the energy of his game character, which is different from the traditional online games in the past, that kind of online game - even if you don't let the game character eat for a few days and nights, it is still alive, but not in the world of Huaxia, you have to eat when you are hungry and you have to add clothes on a cold day.

Fan Yuntian sat on a flat stone that stretched out of the cliff, and the NPC kid deliberately sat on the edge of the stone, letting his legs swing leisurely in the air, and he raised his eyes into the distance and stretched out his finger to point into the distance.

"It's supposed to be the South Slope, where we're from." He said.

An Ran followed his finger and found a small mountain bag rising on the horizon in the distance, which looked like a black snail.

"And I'm from that place." An Ran pointed to the sky, and he changed the topic to talk to Fan Yuntian about another world.

"You know, you are the darlings of heaven! All adventurers come from heaven. Fan Yuntian continued to bite the jerky. It's unpalatable! When will we be able to catch some game and get a hot meal? “

"Not this heaven as you understand it, but a place farther than this sky."

"Nine Heavens," Fan Yuntian sighed, "You live with the great gods, they use data to weave everything in this world, and you are responsible for coming in and playing, about this, Lao Tzu knew when he was on the southern slope." ”

"This farther place doesn't include this sky, nor is it the Nine Heavens you imagined, in fact, there is no difference between distance and distance, let me put it this way!" An Ran tried to find an example that Fan Yuntian could understand, "For example, you lie in bed and have a dream, in which you are traveling in an illusory world, and there are also a group of friends who are traveling with you in the world, but that you are not the real you, and that world is not the real world, you just need to wake up and find that the real self is actually lying in bed." When I woke up, the world was gone, and the friends there, everything there, was nothing. ”

"I had a dream," Fan Yuntian took his legs back and sat cross-legged on the stone, "when I woke up, my soul was gone, and that dream became something I remembered, or sometimes I couldn't remember it at all, and when I went to sleep again, I couldn't find that dream." Brother Enron, are you a wisp of soul? If you are a wisp of soul, how can I feel that you are flesh and blood when I touch it? And if, as you say, this world—what I think is a world written by the great gods out of data—is just a dream of yours, why does this world exist after you leave? Why do you find your way home every time? “

"Who are we in this world? It's just how you guys feel about the data we control, right! How do you feel," An Ran was suddenly taken aback when he thought of this, "Aren't your words and deeds the result of data calculations?" Aren't your joys, sorrows, and sorrows given by the system? If you really have your own consciousness, what kind of world would this world be? ”

An Ran recalled Fan Yuntian's total performance in the past two days, if he met him in real life and on the street somewhere, he would not be able to distinguish whether Fan Yuntian was a human or a robot.

"When data knows that it is data, is it still data?" An Ran fell into deep thought.

"Brother Enron! Brother Enron! Fan Yuntian shouted twice after seeing his strange appearance, pulling An Ran, who was full of thoughts, back.

"Where did I go? Oh! Dreaming," An Ran put the unfinished food of the two of them into her personal package again. "You can take this world as a dream, but don't take it as my dream, there is a sentence you said well, this is a world written by the great god with data, I, including all the adventurers you meet, we are all participants invited in by a dreamer, or a person who makes up games, so we have another name 'gamer' I am standing here talking to you is not actually the real me, this is a game character that I can control, and the real me is sitting comfortably in a small room called the study, Manipulate the game character 'Enron' to interact with you, so you can treat this 'Enron' as a wisp of soul, and my name in the other world is 'Anran', as for why this world didn't disappear after I left? Because I am not a dreamer, and only one day when the dreamer stops dreaming, I am afraid that this world will disappear. “

Fan Yuntian's light blue eyes flashed again, he thought that he was the smartest set of data, knowing everything about this world, but now he felt that he knew nothing about it, would these things be written in the books of this world? Fan Yuntian didn't know, and the NPC kid rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers and was a little frustrated.

"I'm a stupid kid," Fan Yuntian muttered, "I thought you were from the sky, but I didn't think it was not, you were from another world, oh no!" He corrected himself, "You are still in another world, and Brother Enron, who is standing with me now, is also a virtual data, like a puppet drawn in a book, no wonder you don't feel anything here, because you are not here at all." “

Sitting on the stone, Fan Yuntian looked a little lonely, he lowered his head and picked his fingers with his white hands, the world is big, but it seems that there is no home of his own. Even though he wears cotton clothes and pants and wraps himself like a dumpling, the NPC kid still feels very cold, with the wind from the mountains and the loneliness from this world.

An Ran seemed to know his thoughts, and the handsome young man walked to Fan Yuntian's side, he gently patted the NPC kid's shoulder and comforted, "What's the matter?" Although An Ran is in another world, he will still care about you! If you kid is happy, he will be happy; You kid will be troubled by him as well; If you are bullied, he will do his best to help you get ahead; If you say this is home, then he will treat it as home. You ask me why I find my way home every time, because ......" An Ran paused as he stared into his servant's eyes.

"Because of what? Brother Enron. Fan Yuntian looked at An Ran with sparkling eyes.

"Because you're here, there's no way I've forgotten where my friend is. Also, the great god you said gave us a key to enter this world, and I can enter here, but I have to act according to its rules, for example, Lao Tzu can only stay in this world for as long as the time, and I must leave when the time comes, just like when you sleep, when the time comes, you can only wake up, and you can't control it at all. So don't say that adventurers are omnipotent, in fact, the dreamers who weave this world are omnipotent, for example, why I couldn't accompany you to look at the stars last night, it's because your great god, that is, we often call the system, told me that when it's time to play, I must go to the countryside to rest. “

"Are you saying that you in the other world will treat me like a relative?" Fan Yuntian tilted his head and asked.

At this moment, he completely lost the calmness and coldness that he faced the enemy; There is no rogue tone of counting the smoke; There is no unshaven expression that scolds An Ran; He is now like an innocent child.

"Or else?" An Ran put his arm around his shoulder, "Don't forget that all the movements and expressions made by Brother An Ran next to you now are made by me in the other world, in other words, what is your attitude towards you, Brother An Ran in that world, what is your attitude towards you-let's go!" Let's go! It's not too early, I don't know where we can get to today? “

They continued to climb the mountain, and the master and servant actually had their own agendas. An Ran was wondering if there would be a day when these NPCs, who were no different from real people, would suddenly appear alive in his world, while Fan Yuntian was thinking, why didn't the great god give him a key to Brother An Ran's world? What does Brother An Ran look like? Will there be some strange things in their world?

Time is like flowing water, in an instant it has been noon, the master and servant have arrived at the foggy area of the mountainside, the sun is blocked by the dense fog, the road ahead is boundless, they have to touch the stone wall with one hand, and walk forward cautiously, because three or five meters away may be an invisible cliff, and if you accidentally fall down, you will be crushed, although this is the game world, An Ran's life is more than once, and it can be unscathed for An Ran, but where is the resurrection point that falls? Will he not be able to enter Qingyun Mountain, An Ran does not dare to try to die easily.

Today's Fan Yuntian was very hungry, An Ran first let his game character have lunch with him, and then went offline to make two packs of instant noodles to satisfy his hunger.

The handsome man was eating instant noodles while holding his mobile phone to look at their WeChat group, which was currently deserted, maybe everyone was struggling in the game during the day and had no time to chat, but there were many messages left on it. Most of the messages were inconsequential topics, some group members were discussing game experiences and greeting each other, and there were also people who offered to buy a dungeon strategy, An Ran flipped it casually, and suddenly he saw a screenshot with a familiar weapon on it - 'Tiger Tooth Bloodthirsty' It was the dagger he and Fan Yuntian hit yesterday.

"How did you end up here? How do they know? An Ran frowned and was puzzled, when he saw the scene and small characters in the screenshot, he suddenly realized, it turned out that these people had seen the screenshot of the Huaxia equipment ranking.

Each major city of Huaxia has a patrol department, which is dedicated to recording and publishing the events that can be announced in Huaxia, such as the player's level ranking, equipment ranking, major event announcements, and legal education; These announcements will be posted on the bulletin board on the exterior wall of the Yamen of the Patrol Division, so that it is convenient for those who need to inquire, and to put it bluntly, it is a bulletin board of another situation in the system.

The screenshot is incomplete, An Ran doesn't know how old the 'Tiger Tooth Bloodthirsty' dagger in the hands of his servant is on the equipment rankings, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to these things that will eventually be eliminated, so he just finished eating and quickly entered the game.

Since An Ran didn't turn off the helmet when he went offline, and he didn't take Fan Yuntian back into the servant space, the NPC kid sat in place and waited for him, for fear that once he left, he would never find his brother An Ran again. After knowing the reason why An Ran sometimes left suddenly, the NPC kid didn't complain to him anymore.

I find it a little strange here," Fan Yuntian turned around and pulled An Ran after climbing a more dangerous stone step. "It was very cold, and it looked like we were walking through the water."

"It's a natural phenomenon – it's naturally cold in the mountains, and since we're in the clouds, it's definitely cold." An Ran explained.

Indeed, as they continued to climb, their geographical location became higher and higher, and even An Ran in reality felt the deliberate limitations brought by the body fixation bracket, and he found that the movements of his game character became much slower and clumsier than when he was at the foot of the mountain.

Fortunately, the mountain road turned away from the cliff, and the road became a little wider and smoother, as if they had reached the top of another hill, a woodland with a large number of cypress and spruce trees. The trees were tall, the ground was covered with yellow leaves and red soil, and because of the cold weather, there were no dwarf grasses left, and the whole forest was wet, and the trunks and dead leaves were covered with dewdrops.

"Brother An Ran, you have flowers on your eyebrows," Fan Yuntian rubbed his hands together and joked with a cold air. "If only I were you adventurers, you wouldn't be afraid of the cold at all."

The handsome man brushed his finger on his eyebrows, and then he twisted a handful of crushed ice flowers.

The young man seemed to remember something and opened the information bar, only to find that the system had actually reminded him several times that the character's attributes had decreased due to the cold, and he needed to wear clothes to protect himself from the cold.

As a last resort, An Ran could only take out another set of cotton clothes and pants from his personal package and put it on, he also wrapped himself like a large zongzi, at this time, you can't just have a demeanor and no temperature, the characters in the game are the same as NPCs, they can even get sick such as a cold. Thanks to the cotton clothes purchased at that material gathering point yesterday, otherwise he and Fan Yuntian would have frozen to death on this mountain, and thanks to this game, otherwise too many supplies would have made them call a carriage.

Fan Yuntian, who was walking in front, suddenly squatted down, and the NPC kid's eyes were fixed on a fat footprint on the ground, and he touched the soil with his hand and sniffed it with his nose.

"There's a bear here, and it's nearby." Fan Yuntian suddenly took off the wooden bow on his back and reminded in a low voice.

Before he finished speaking, a round black head looked at them about ten meters in front of them, it was a tall black bear, and it staggered towards them from the side of a large tree.

Fan Yuntian opened his bow and aimed at the eyes of the black bear, the black bear was still approaching step by step, it was not walking fast, and its expression was lazy as if thinking about something.

But Fan Yuntian didn't know what it thought, it was common sense that the bear was going to eat people, so the NPC kid was ready to strike first.

The index finger and thumb pinching the bowstring were slightly loosened, and with a 'whoosh', the slender arrow galloped away, that is, when the arrow shaft was flying in the air, Fan Yuntian had already held the weapon in his hand.

The arrow went quickly, Fan Yuntian searched for weapons faster, but the black bear was very slow, so the arrow with the sound of breaking the air suddenly hit the black bear's eye.

There was no scene of blood shooting, only the sound of a bell, and the arrow seemed to have touched an incomparably tough iron ball, and sparks appeared at the impact of the arrow and the eyeball, and then the shaft of the arrow was bounced into the air.

The black bear was stunned, and touched the eye socket that was shot by the arrow with its fat front paws, and An Ran personally saw the green font appear on its head, which slowly turned into a blood-red color.

Angry Black Bear, Rank ???

The black bear was very fast now, and almost instantly, he ran up to the tall and short master and servant, and waved his front paws at their long-mouthed heads.

An Ran, who didn't make a move, had been observing this fat guy, and in the dark he always thought that this black bear didn't seem to have malicious intent, how could the beast be in such a slow posture when attacking? Its eyes will only reveal ferocity, and its mouth will only flow with saliva, just like the fierce tiger at the foot of the mountain, but Fan Yuntian's arrow has turned it into a fierce beast.

It was too late to think about it, An Ran pulled away Fan Yuntian, who was a little in a daze, and just dodged the sweeping palm.

"Run! This beast is not something we can deal with. ”

The master and servant turned and fled.

How could the black bear let them go? It was not like the tiger chasing after them, but with a push on their backs with a bear's paw, the master and servant were immediately knocked to the ground by a powerful force, and fell into the mud.

‘-918‘

‘-1200‘

The first number is the amount of blood An Ran was knocked out, and the second number is Fan Yuntian.

An Ran was surprised to find that both he and Fan Yuntian still had a trace of blood, this is the mercy of the black bear's subordinates? He didn't know, he was desperate, it wasn't a class contest at all.

The black bear let out an earth-shattering roar, and a wave of sound spread from its mouth, and the sound wave flew over An Ran and Fan Yuntian's heads, and the slender and dwarf trees around them snapped in response.

******

At the same time, somewhere in the sky far from the earth; In the depths of a colorful auspicious cloud; Towering in the sky is a huge palace. There is a goddess in this Qionglou Yuyu with carved railings and jade steps, she can't see her face when she stands with her back, she only knows that she wears a star and moon hairpin, a sword on her waist, a colorful battle armor and a jade body, and her hair and feather coat fluttering in the wind.

In front of the goddess, there is a lotus pond with fairy energy, the lotus pond is full of crystal clear lotus leaves, and one or two pink lotus flowers flowing with soft light can occasionally be seen in the green bushes.

She took two steps forward, her posture fluttering. She stretched out her palm of ice muscle jade bone and waved it at the lotus pond, and the lotus leaves swayed slightly, and the pond rippled.

"Hey! One laugh abandons sentient beings for you, and the other laughs come down to earth for you. ”

The goddess sighed softly, her voice was like a heavenly sound, seductive and seductive, and then she disappeared in place, and this heavenly tower was lonely and empty.

******

In addition to the fear in their hearts, An Ran and Fan Yuntian were also fixed on the ground by the skills used by the black bear, and the two of them couldn't stand up even if they tried all their strength, they seemed to have fallen into a huge spider's web, and could only wait for the hunter to approach.

When the black bear was still a meter away from them, it opened its huge mouth, and Fan Yuntian could smell the foul stench that was coming from its mouth.

At this time, a light breeze blew in the mountains, not fierce nor cold, but gently blowing like the hem of a young woman's skirt, with a burst of fragrance and warmth.

The wind ruffled the black bear's fur and took away the black bear's anger. The big guy's crimson eyes returned to their original blackness, and its open mouth finally closed, then looked at the two of them blankly, shook its head and turned its body, and finally walked slowly into the depths of the forest.

"What's the situation?" An Ran couldn't figure it out as he watched the original crimson font on the black bear's head turn yellow, "Why did it suddenly let us go again?" ”

"I don't know," Fan Yuntian sniffed, "This gust of wind is so fragrant!" He sighed.

An Ran found that he was finally able to move, neither he nor Fan Yuntian had any external injuries on their backs, and the gold sore medicine was naturally not needed, so the handsome young man couldn't wait to take out the blood pill, and he ate a few pills and handed the rest to Fan Yuntian.

They must replenish their health quickly, or they may fall and die if they fall. Of course, if they encounter a monster attack of this level again, with their current skills, it is no different whether they can replenish their blood or not, just kidding! If it weren't for the black bear deliberately controlling the strength, its palm could directly kill the two of them in seconds. Its roar, if it weren't for some external force sheltering, it is estimated that the master and servant would have been preparing to be resurrected somewhere!

After making up the state, they began to walk forward along the stone road again, the master and servant did not speak much, and tried to sweep their surroundings with their eyes, and walked carefully with each step, but the more they went to the back, the more bears came, from one that appeared in front of them at the beginning became two or three, and then four or five, and then seven or eight. Luckily, these fat briquette-like creatures didn't have the time to take care of them, some of them were digging on the dead leaves on the ground, and some of them rubbed their bodies back and forth on the trees to stop itching.

At this time, An Ran and Fan Yuntian knew that these black bears would not take the initiative to attack the two of them. As for the others, will they? They didn't know, he just knew that his game character was so tired now, as if it was slowly no longer under his control, and it was very difficult to move every step.

"Did we fall into the mud?" Fan Yuntian gasped and said: "Lao Tzu is so tired! There was something wrong with the fog, and every time I breathed it was like swallowing a nail into my lungs. ”

An Ran was just about to speak, when suddenly there was a 'bang' in his eardrums, and there was a fluctuation in the air without warning, and they saw another world as if they had come out of the water.
