Chapter 157: Another Stone Statue

It's gone, it's gone, it's completely gone.

This sentence is used to describe the feelings of players at this time, which is very appropriate.

After the system is upgraded, it seems to have brought about different degrees of changes, one of which is that the reference object after the skill is used is gone.

It's a bit abstract to say this, in the previous games, no matter what attack you hit, there was at least a health bar as a reference.

Especially during boss battles, in a sense, this is a player's lifeline, for example, when the boss is dying, he will release his ultimate.

There are many more unspoken rules like this, but these all require specific HP and damage values as a reference.

However, now, these are all gone, which makes the strength of some players directly discounted, and in addition, the power of skills has also shrunk to varying degrees.

Taking the primary skill fireball of the mage profession as an example, compared with before, the amount of ignition is really pitiful, and people can't help but worry about whether the power is small and can't even light a cigarette.

Many players were caught off guard and still acted in the same way as before, and the result was naturally conceivable, one after another flashes of light, and they died a little inexplicably.

Compared to before, players are less dependent on skills, and without skill feedback, the boundaries between games and reality are even more blurred.

Skills, levels and the like do not completely determine a player's strength, the choice of tactics, and the ability to adapt on the spot are important indicators that determine a player's life and death.

More changes will be slowly explored by players as the game progresses, and such changes alone are enough for players to digest for a while.

Earth Demon City, another city of the demon clan, compared with usual, there are more people watching the excitement in the Earth Demon City at this time.

It's not the first time that they've come together in the game, but it's a little new for the residents of Earth Demon City.

There are many people in the middle of the city who pass by and sell along the street, but compared to the statue standing in the middle, those things are very little at attracting attention.

I don't know when it started, anyway, when everyone came back to their senses, this statue was standing here, just from the material alone, there is nothing ordinary, just ordinary stone.

The point is that the lifelike expression on the face of the statue, from the expression reveals endless pain, which makes people

It was hard to believe that it was just a lifeless object, and she held out her right hand, as if calling to someone.

There are many strange places, and judging by the physical characteristics of the statue, it is obvious that this is based on a certain human female.

In the realm of the demon race, a statue based on a human has appeared, which is also a strange thing in a sense.

The attitude of the high-level of the demon clan is not yet known, judging from the attitude of ordinary people alone, they are just very curious in the face of the statue, and there is no obvious malice at all.

After a long time, they saw that the statue had not changed, so they were not surprised, and they didn't know who started it, and in front of the statue, a considerable amount of tribute was placed.

According to the rumors, as long as you sincerely worship this statue, good things will happen.

Sincerity is spiritual, belief is there, non-belief is not, no matter whether it is useful or not, there are not a few demon clans who come to worship.

For a long time, this statue has become a landmark building in the Earth Demon City, and its prestige has even spread out of the circle, within a radius of dozens of miles, and there are such and such legends everywhere.

…………

"And then, and then, what about the rest of the story?"

The little boy pushed the uncle who was still drinking tea on the side, his face was full of anxious emotions, and he stopped here three times in a row, making him extremely eager for the ending of the rest of the story.

"Well, little one, this is not a story, but a real thing."

The uncle touched the folding fan in his hand, and said happily, no matter how urged the little boy, he still continued at his own pace.

"Worship and worship, the local gods are not happy, not so much the gods, not so much the people who enjoy the incense."

Speaking of this, it didn't matter whether the little boy understood it or not, he snorted coldly and muttered a lot of off-site words.

"It's not easy to be robbed of your business by others, so they started spreading rumors......"

This story was told by the uncle in a vivid tone, as if he was there, which made the little boy come to his senses all of a sudden.

"Since a certain day, there has been such a rumor in the Earth Demon City, as long as the name is called by the statue, that person will definitely disappear the next day."

"First a woman, then a little boy......"

Under the uncle's deliberate mood, the atmosphere was rendered a little scary, and the timid boy directly covered his ears.

“…… They just disappeared, and finally, on a stormy night, the statue really spoke......"

This time, the frightened little boy left without looking back.

"Shen Yi, Shen Yi, where are you?"

"What's next?"

The questioner was replaced by a man, and the tone of the question was full of anxious emotions, which directly startled the uncle.

"Wait, my fan!"

The uncle snatched the fan from the other party's hand, and his tone was full of distressed emotions.

"Next, the statue was smashed."

"What do you mean?"

"Of course it was smashed."

He said angrily, turning the fan in his hand over and over, as if to check for any injuries.

Naturally, this young man, Shen Yi, listened to the conversation between the uncle and the little boy, which made him take a bold guess.

As for the fact that the statue was smashed, judging from the obvious impatience of the other party, it is impossible to believe it all, and as for what happened, it is necessary to conduct a field investigation before we can draw conclusions.

In any case, Shen Yi had a reason to go to the Earth Demon City, and Shen Yi at this time was located in a small town called Passat.

Shen Yi forgot how he got out of the desert, only remembered that when he came to his senses, he walked from the desert here.

Now, a new problem is in front of Shen Yi, that is, he doesn't know the way to Earth Demon City at all.

The reason why it has evolved like this is entirely because the maps that have been tried and tested before are completely useless.

Judging from the official map, the large and small boundaries of the demon clan are not recorded in the map at all.

Asking for directions is a good way, but there are many people, and he is afraid that people with intentions will target him, of course, this is just an excuse, as for the real reason, don't say it.

Hawkers, anyway, the earth is round, as long as it goes in one direction, it will come one day, Shen Yi, who is optimistic by nature, thought, of course, this is not the meaning of optimism in the eyes of others, on the contrary, it is a manifestation of stupidity.

Shen Yi adjusted his breathing, and left here without looking back, one step, two steps, three steps, on the sand, leaving a clear series of footprints, proving the direction he came.

As for Dark Rou, Shen Yi can only say sorry, the sudden upgrade of the system is not his fault, Shen Yi can only pray silently in his heart, praying that with this physical state, Dark Rou, who is alone in the world, has not encountered any danger.

Shen Yi seemed to have forgotten the existence of figs, I have to say, this is a bit unauthentic, and when he suddenly remembered it later, something happened that he couldn't laugh or cry.

Of course, this is an afterthought, so let's not mention it now.

All in all, in short, Shen Yi embarked on a journey all the way to the west, and as for why this house was here, it was purely out of interest.

The desert is still the same desert, but Shen Yi at this time has a completely different feeling compared to before.

He walked briskly, ignoring the unbearable heat, looking at the happy appearance, it seemed that something good had happened.

Actually, it is true, if his guess is correct, there must be someone he knows over there in the Demon City.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace again, and suddenly, behind the sand dunes not far ahead, an explosion suddenly came, directly blasting Shen Yi, who couldn't dodge, out.

After the yellow sand, there was a sudden silence, and then the sand in front of me was completely gone.

Scattered, unidentified metal debris directly filled the space, and judging by the scale and quantity, it seems that the source of the explosion is here.

"Help Me ......"

A pair of pale hands stretched out through the sand, and a rather weak voice came from below, if it weren't for Shen Yi's amazing ear power, he would have missed it directly.

After a long day's effort, Shen Yi finally dug out the people under the sand.

The old man was panting, he spat out the sand that didn't exist in his mouth, and the eyes on the bridge of his nose were throbbing up and down with his breathing.

"Where is this?"

The old man looked around, and there was a hint of overwhelm in his eyes.

“……”

"Hey, where is this?"

After hearing this, Shen Yi finally frowned, although Shen Yi has always adhered to the bottom line of respecting the old and loving the young, however, this bottom line is sometimes not applicable.

When encountering a difficult and impolite old man, Shen Yi was also polite, he glared at the old man directly, and said angrily.

"Old man, this is Egypt."

"No, no, there must be something wrong......

Unexpectedly, Shen Yi's unintentional words were taken seriously by the old man, and he laboriously took out an instrument from the middle of the sand, and while looking at it, he was still muttering something.

"No, it's right at the right time and place."

"Shen Yi, is this a game in Tianyou Guchen?"

What surprised Shen Yi was not only his question, but also the fact that the two of them had no relatives and no reason, and the other party actually knew his name, which, this is not scientific.

Shen Yi, who was very puzzled in his heart, even automatically ignored the second half of the other party's sentence, how did this old man know his name?
