299 Cycle of Villages

"Is everyone around?"

"It's all together, Sister Xue. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Very good. ”

After the light belonging to the teleportation gradually faded, the woman named Snow Spirit Phantom Ice slowly opened her eyes, and her slightly cold gaze wandered back and forth in the dim light, and then she put down the long sword in her hand, and pointed the tip of the sword obliquely to the debris-strewn and tattered groundβ€”this place seemed to be an abandoned village town, with wooden houses and houses with an unknown amount of dust deposited on the left and right of the dirt slope road in an irregular manner, and some of them had even become a pile of ruins. The ruins and broken walls that are crooked left and right show the antiquity and desolation of this place. Some of the still preserved, collapsed roofs and walls, as well as the black splinters of wood that seemed to shatter at the touch of a touch, could still outline some of the scenes that had once appeared here, but the traces of explosions, scattered weapons, and human bones that appeared at the same time seemed to foreshadow the tragic past of this place, and the final fate of this place.

In the darkness created by the combination of night and mist, the woman, who already had a general impression of this place, withdrew her gaze from looking up, and then looked at the system notification she had received, and gave her own orders and arrangements.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The goal is to escape from this abandoned village, not for the purpose of fighting, so ...... We should try to find the exit to this village as fast as we can. With his usual cold voice, Xue Lingphantom said in a low voice: "According to the previous competition experience, this kind of judgment is very obvious game rules, but there will be no ambiguity, the only possible variables should be the opponent and ...... who participate in the competition with us."

"The village itself."

"I have a question." A man in black iron armor standing beside her asked in a deep voice, "The so-called escape from the village...... Do you want all five of us to escape, or do you just need one of us? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This is not clear for the time being. A player in pale white robes stood at the back of the line and spoke quietly, "But...... The clarity of this rule will determine our ultimate strategy. ”

"Do you want to ask if we should act collectively or separately?" A man in half-armor and carrying a heavy axe and gun laughed for a while, then rubbed his heavy shoulders: "Or ...... Why don't you kill each other, and then slowly find an exit? ”

"It's really a tactic that fits your philosophy, Phantom Sea Crazy Star." The black-armored man before twisted his fists and smiled: "If it's really a real fight, then I will raise my hands in favor, but it's a pity...... As things stand, let's be careful. ”

"I didn't expect it...... It's only been a little while, and you're already afraid of becoming like this......"

"Is this called fear? This is called maturation. The black-armored man patted his chest: "How can the Sprinkle family say that they have also seen the great world in the free world, haven't you realized this yet?"

"You? Have you ever experienced the big world? Brother Axe squinted his eyebrows: "You can't be talking about the Emerald Forest, right?" Didn't you hang back right away? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It seems that I have misseen someone, return the axe and gun to me! ”

"Hey, hey, you still want to take back the water you spilled? And don't look at who you're sending it to...... Why, do you still want to rob it? Do you want to fight? ”

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." In the eyes of the two teammates who blew their beards and stared, the mage player in the rear sighed and shook his head: "What kind of black wind and double evil in the team, the Hebei generals are all teammates who cooperate seamlessly, how come our snowy twin stars have become like this......"

"Leave them alone, I'm used to it anyway." The short player who had reported it earlier commented in a low voice, and then asked the long-haired woman who had been silent again: "Sister Xue, what is the next step...... What are we going to do? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Let's split up. As if talking to himself, a voice like a sigh slowly poured out from Xue Ling's phantom ice's mouth: "It's safer this way."

"Xiao Wu, you and Aracea go all the way to the left, Phantom Sea Crazy Star and Fengqiao listen to the rain and go to the right, and I will walk through the middle by myself." Her voice grew louder and louder, and her tone gradually became more and more real as if she had descended into the mortal world: "Search along the way, watch out for enemies, don't touch anything here unless necessary, and beware of the ......"

"If you find a suspicious exit, remember to notify the others, otherwise it will ......," she thought for a moment, and then made a final summary: "In ten minutes, we will meet at the intersection ahead."

"Let's get moving."

Whew――

In the picture where several people quickly dispersed, the little girl sitting next to Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "What's going on in this place, uncle?"

"How do I know, I haven't been to again...... Uh, okay, okay, I say, I say. ”

Dodging Mengzhu's slightly murderous gaze, Duan Qing hurriedly pressed the screen and said, "I'll take a look...... Judging from what we have seen, this village is not too big at all, otherwise it would be too inhumane for a team competition, and it would take you half a day to find an opponent......"

"But the goal of the system they received was to escape from the village." The thousand-fingered crane on the other side also asked in a low voice, "If this place is not big...... Wouldn't it be easy for them to escape? ”

"A tall building is the size of a football field at most, but can you just escape?" Duan Qing said with a smile: "What's more, this is a free world, and any weird situation can happen."

"Huh? You mean ......"

"It's not normal here."

Duan Qing tilted his head back: "The air is too quiet, and the fog is too uniform, even those few houses under the ruins...... It all looks pretty much the same. ”

"Visibility is too low." The whispering liuyu who was standing outside also shook his head and said: "A normal village, you should be able to see the exit at a glance, but now they still have to look for it separately, and they are still ...... when there is an opponent."

"Yes, this fog is also abnormal." Pointing to the slowly moving field of vision on the screen, Duan Qing continued to explain, "It's just ...... Deliberately blocking their view. ”

"I'm curious." He chuckled and said, "The exit of this village...... What does it look like? ”

"Uncle, what are you talking about?" Mengzhu tugged at his ponytail and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this scene?"

"I said it at the beginning......" Duan Qing clapped his hands and replied, "I haven't been here before, how can I know what's going on...... If you want to know, you still have to look at their own on-the-spot investigation. ”

"After all...... The picture we see may not be what they see. ”

Duan Qing's words were half correct, because at this time, they were indeed walking among the infinite ruins, while guarding the movements around them, while probing every clue in the ruins back and forth, trying to dig out all the secrets belonging to this ruin, and then use this to escape from this eerie place. Naturally, a few clues were dug up, but the gain seemed insignificant compared to the malice they felt - as time passed, several people walking in the village realized the anomaly of the surrounding scene, and the abandoned houses that they had left behind seemed to be as endless as the surrounding fog, and they walked for a long time without finding the end. It didn't take long for the people belonging to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice team to easily find their teammates, and then with solemn expressions, they met at the intersection in the middle of the village.

"There is a well in the middle of the village......"

"There's a house over there that hasn't collapsed, and we went in to take a look, and it should be a blacksmith's shop."

"We found a mill with a nameplate still on it, with Baylor's name on it......"

"There is a relatively large ruin ahead, which should be the ruling center of this village, but the things inside are ......"

"Any news on the exit?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No. ”

"I don't have it on my side."

"We walked in one direction for a long time, and finally we came to the blacksmith's shop, and then we made a mark......"

All the feedback was a sign of despair, and the voices of the few players sitting on the floor were getting lower and lower, while staring closely at the various corners of the ruined village shrouded in mist with deep eyes, as if some terrifying sight would emerge from it in the next moment, dragging them deeper into another dimension. However, several people present are all veteran players from Freedom Wings, and they are all characters who have seen strong winds and waves, so they have not easily given up their desire to fight, nor have they let confusion occupy their hearts: "I'm ...... A map was found in the ruins, so let's take a look at it. ”

"Oh? Worthy of being a captain, anyone can find such a useful thing. ”

"Hmm...... The layout of the village is fairly standard, it is a boxy structure......"

"It's not the same as what we see, but isn't it the case that a normal village should build a house like this...... Here's where we should have come from. ”

"Here? Isn't that far from the edge? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ We didn't see any exits, we still saw ruins all over the ground. Kaedehashi, did you spot anything? ”

"No, but ...... My magic feedback seems to be ineffective, and the affinity of the elements is also wrong...... Maybe it's my delusion. ”

"Hey, say something that people can understand, we don't have any other mage......"

"Wait a minute! Did you see a mill as you passed through here? ”

The heated discussion then gradually unfolded in the air of the crowd, and then gradually stopped in the unanimous tone of everyone. As the captain, Xue Lingphantom Ice picked up the long sword he put aside, and then slapped his body and stood up: "It seems...... We can rest assured. ”

"This place is not a place where you can go out for a while." She clung her sword to the ground and assumed her usual position: "We can take our time and not worry about our opponent sneaking away...... Not. ”

She suddenly stopped her words, and her eyes met the other teammates with suspicious faces for a moment: "What about our opponent?"

"You didn't even meet ......"

On the side of the audience outside the venue, Duan Qing's doubts also sounded: "They and the members of the Muyu team just now...... Didn't you cross the route once? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Who can remember this, uncle! ”

"Ning Lan?"

"Yes, sir." The maid smiled and nodded: "Their exploration route has been repeated once in the northwest and east of the village, but Ning Lan can't be sure...... Whether the two sides passed through both places at the same time. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You can't really meet it, right? Such a small place......"

"They did, sir." Whispering Ning Lan smiled and said, "In the middle of the village...... They must have had a face-to-face meeting. ”

"Really?" Mengzhu shouted in disbelief, "How is it possible? Why didn't anyone find out? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The one in the middle should be the direction in which Snow Spirit Phantom Ice has walked, right? Duan Qing also pinched his chin and asked, "Looking at her like that, I shouldn't have seen it......

"It's only for a moment, but it's ...... They should be able to see each other. Speaking of this, Ning Lan lowered her head slightly: "What if...... Ning Lan's experience is not wrong. ”

"Your experience may not be wrong." Duan Qing shook his head and said, "It's probably this village that's wrong."

"The village should be in a kind of cycle."

Beside the well in the middle of the village, a few figures walking slowly stopped gradually: "This is a kind of spatial cycle, as long as we go in one direction, then we will definitely go to the beginning of the place, even if it is diagonal...... It should be the same. ”

"Only with your feet...... I guess I can't get out of this village. The long-haired woman sighed, then stopped next to the well: "Or this space."

"That'...... This should be the center of this space, two hundred and eighty-two seconds, and it is also marked on the map. Picking up his heavy weapon from the well, the Phantom Sea Madness turned around helplessly: "I thought I was really going to fight empty-handed......"

"Let you spare a weapon, you just won't listen." The black-armored man shook his head and walked to the side of the well, and then sat down: "We have been to all the places we can go, and we have searched everything we can, where is the secret of this scene?"

"Don't rush, I've done my best." Maple Bridge at the back of the team whispered to the rain: "The magical energy here is extremely disordered......

"Well, maybe we're going to roll over." The Phantom Sea Crazy Star laughed and sat down next to the black-armored man: "I haven't even seen the shadow of the enemy, maybe they will run away a long time ago, right?"

"How is it possible, we haven't even found it, how can they find it?" The big man sneered and waved his hand: "Could it be that they have more clues than us?" Is there some secret passage here? ”

"Secret Pathway!" He put his hands on the well, and then straightened up disdainfully: "It's all water......"

"Wait a minute." Fengqiao in the rear suddenly said when he heard the rain: "There is water? This ruined village must have been abandoned for at least a few hundred years, right? How can there be water? ”

"Is it ......?"

After looking at each other for a few seconds, several people stood up, and then gathered around the side of the well: "Fengqiao!" Check it out! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's real water, not an illusion. The pale white robed player opened his eyes after a few seconds: "And a lot, probably straight underground."

"There it is!" The short player immediately jumped: "Let's swim out from here!" Take the underground waterways! ”

"Come on, do you know how a well works?" The Phantom Sea Crazy Star glared: "I don't know how long I have to dive...... Aren't you afraid of drowning? ”

"Maybe there's some mechanism near this wellhead......

"Maybe there's some kind of magic circle here......

"Maybe we should take a sip? And then the illusion of space is lifted? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You come first. ”

"You don't believe it? I'll come first, I'll come first, you can't poison people, right...... Goo-dong. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I rely on you to really drink? ”

"Try it and you won't die...... And it's better than waiting here, cowardice. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So what did you find? ”

"No, it's just a little sweet...... Hey? ”

It was as if time and space suddenly jumped, and the whole world trembled in everyone's eyes for a moment, and then the next moment it regained its usual stability, as if nothing had happened. However, the image in front of him poured like flowing water, and then turned into a rainbow washed by the rain, gradually revealing the figures of several players, who were standing or sitting in the distance of this intersection, and one of them even maintained a probing posture and lay on the side of the well, with the same amazement, looking at the snow spirit phantom ice and others who were checking up and down around the well.

"I didn't expect ......" In the air that was about to be ignited, the Phantom Sea Crazy Star muttered this sentence.

"Does it really work?"
