The picture that gradually became noisy followed his extended line of sight and appeared between the light and dark light and shadow in the depths of the woods, and then changed into a battle scene with the sound of the wind constantly blowing through the place, and the figures of the division and merger also became clearer and clearer as the field of vision approached, gradually distinguishing the crowd covered in armor and armed with another group of people in black clothes and black faces: "Attack! Give me offense! For the glory of the Empire! ”

"Don't keep going ahead with the ants, you're wasting each other's time."

Unlike the powerful Imperial soldiers, the mysterious black-clothed men who were stationed in the depths of the jungle each hid behind the tree trunks scattered around the intersection, and then used the intertwined magical firepower to block the simple phalanx that was constantly impacting this intersection again and again: "This is the realm of the elders, if there is nothing else, please go back." ”

"What realm of the Elders, when we are fools?" A familiar Imperial Captain on the other side of the intersection immediately announced in a loud voice: "Before you talk nonsense, this is the territory of the Empire in the first place!" ”

"Want to occupy our territory openly without permission? Do you rats have the great Frey Emperor in your eyes? The mood gradually rose with the rousing voice, and the captain raised his sword again: "Attack me!" Drive them out of the sacred lands of the Empire! “

“…… Call. ”

Retracting his slight gasping face, the magician named Linyuan Broken Water leaned his back against the back of the big tree where he was hiding: "Found it." ”

"Did you find it?"

I don't know when I got close to him, Alast, who was also staring ahead, asked worriedly, "Is my young lady in front?" ”

"I'm not talking about your young lady, I'm talking about the people in black who disappeared at the intersection."

Sighing helplessly, Lin Yuan finally replied in a low voice: "They should have been discovered by the Imperial soldiers who rushed to Karlo Village before, so they transferred all the people who could resist the other party......"

"Soldiers of the Empire?" The Soul Hunters, who had also come to rendezvous, asked curiously, "When did they come?" Why should you come here? ”

"Didn't you meet them in the village?"

Looking back at the other two people present with surprised eyes, the sound of Lin Yuan breaking the water also spread to the depths of the jungle: "It's the team that hunted me in the village before, and later found my head, saying that I have a connection with the wanted criminals of the empire or something......"

"Wanted for the Empire?" The look of confusion on the faces of the two people became more obvious: "In a small village like ours, will there still be such a heavyweight?" ”

"It's not just a wanted criminal, even ...... Never mind. ”

Scratching his cheeks, Lin Yuan finally put away his gaze: "Anyway, it was a misunderstanding, anyway, those soldiers didn't find anything in the end, I thought they had given up, but I didn't expect to run here in the end......"

"They're in the right place."

As the voice rang out, the last member of the team, Exile Warsong, rushed to the previously agreed gathering place: "Those people...... It must be someone from the Magic Empire, right? ”

"How do you know?" Lin Yuan turned his gaze to this person: "Did you detect any clues and secrets?" ”

"The battle that broke out in Castle in the Sky a few months ago is still fresh in my mind, and even the players are about to dig out all the details of that battle from the beginning to the end."

Lying behind the same tree, the voice of the Exiled Warsong was then slowly revealed, along with his attentive movements to the left and right: "The Magic Empire - or the Restorationists - although they still use the banner of reviving the Old Magic Empire, the power they use has long since deviated from the category of 'magic', the officers who have been lurking in the Empire for more than ten years, the planned and premeditated rituals, the countless black beast frenzy, and the black tower that reaches into the sky......"

"If you want to say that those dark forces are also derivatives of magic, no one will believe it." Speaking of this, he shook his head slightly: "The healing magic that just appeared with the version earlier can still be regarded as a kind of magic by players, but later these things that can obviously be used as a villain symbol ......"

"yes, that's right, just like the boss we just fought." The soul hunter on the side also came over excitedly: "If someone is manipulating that crocodile boss behind their backs, then they must be the restorers!" ”

"We, have we been fighting people of their level?" Taking a deep breath, the melancholy on Alast's face with a worried look turned into solemnity: "Why, why is there such an enemy in the novice village?" ”

"The Novice Village does change due to changes in game events and the environment, and there is also the possibility of high-level monsters and enemies invading the territory of the Novice Village." Looking at the backs of the black-clothed people that everyone was looking at, Lin Yuan replied in a low voice, "The problem is...... The purpose of their appearance here. ”

"Captain, do you know what they're up to?"

As if hearing something unusual from the other party's words, the exile war song suddenly turned his head: "What are they hiding here for?" ”

“…… It's hard to say right now. ”

After a quiet silence for a while, Lin Yuan finally gave a negative answer: "Based on the information I have learned, there is only one conclusion I can draw now. ”

"The reason why they lurk here must not be the reason why the Imperials have found here."

The loud metal clash rose at the far end of the woods as the magician's voice fell, accompanied by the Imperial Captain's sword swing forward, and a new rush from the Imperial side was followed by the sight of several heavily armed Imperial soldiers leaping out of the jungle and spreading out in front of the novice squad, striking new brilliant flames around the junction. The mysterious man in black, who had been lurking in the shadows of every corner, then began to unleash his own magic with the charging of those soldiers, blocking their progress with the icy aura and flaming arrows that crossed the jungle, and the loud screams and increasingly loud cheers also covered the sky over the jungle bit by bit as the battle began again: "Don't back down! They are invincible to our great Imperials...... Charge me! Charge! ”

"Sure enough, it's a simple-minded guy, and his tactics are outrageously simple. Marrom, the Ice Barrier. ”

"Wow, ahh They, they separated the ranks with the Ice Wall technique! Captain, what are we going to do? ”

"What else can I do! Knock this barrier off for me...... Be careful! Someone from the flank is attacking! ”

The inevitable casualties gradually appeared around the jungle as the battle continued, and the area around the junction in front of them gradually revealed the edge of the line of sight, and the Imperials, who seemed to have the upper hand in battle, seemed to begin to weaken with the sight of the enemy, and slowly retreated with the captain's shouts. The steel shield and the awe-inspiring blade that belonged to the empire gradually gathered together in the distance of the jungle, forming a great wall of steel around the gathered team, and the tentative magic from the darkness in the depths of the jungle then returned in their contraction formation, only to stir up a few magic fires before slowly retracting back: "...... Poor Imperials, aren't you very imposing? ”

"Rats who only trick in the shadows! If you have the ability, you will come out of the darkness! ”

"Come out? Why are we coming out? This is our jungle, and you're the ones who are the uninvited guests who break into it. ”

"Lackeys of the Magic Empire! You won't be hiding for long! When reinforcements from our Rock Bear Army arrive, you will all become evil spirits under our swords! ”

The confrontation that gradually formed finally appeared in the center of the jungle intersection one after the other with the attack and defense formation slowly formed by the two sides and the continuous scolding, and the path that was stepped out by passers-by in the past time also became a clear dividing line between the two sides of the confrontation at this time, and the tentative attack that the people on both sides still did not stop gradually extending towards the distance that could not be seen. Retracted his gaze again, and leaned back to Lin Yuanshui behind the woods and shook his head with a wry smile, as if the eyes that had seen through something had also turned into deep thinking over time, flashing with a strange brilliance between the eyes of several players around him: "That, that...... Captain, they can't seem to finish fighting, let's ......"

"Don't always ask me, learn to deal with the situation like this."

The eyes that were still frowning turned back and forth on the faces of the three people for a while, and Lin Yuan suddenly raised his fingers: "Didn't they all drink the potion?" Look over there. ”

"Over there?" The Soul Hunter, who glanced in the direction the mage was pointing, asked with a puzzled expression, "What's over there?" Why didn't I see anything? ”

"That's where you're squatting." The exiled war song, who was also looking in that direction, then pulled the other party's shoulder: "Look at me here, look over there...... See, there's someone there. ”

"Who is that person?"

After carefully identifying it for a while, Alast, who was rubbing his eyes, suddenly popped out a low cry that almost revealed his position: "Miss Murong? ”

"Shh——!h You're trying to scare us to death! ”

Quickly pressing his head down, the exiled war song with a shocked face began to vigilantly observe a few hot spots that might have noticed him: "Can you pay a little attention?" So many high-level enemies...... If we stab the hornet's nest, we're really going home! ”

"Let's not talk about how that guy got to that place." Interrupting the nervous writhing of several people with a slight sigh, Lin Yuan said in a low voice: "Such a dangerous situation...... Although it is our predicament, it is also our opportunity. ”

“…… How so? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, all the enemies in the Gemenan Jungle dungeon should be gathered here by now."

Pointing to the center of the battlefield where the film was still facing each other in front of him, Lin Yuan slowly analyzed: "Although it is difficult to rescue that Miss Murong under the noses of this group of people, but look at it from another angle...... The road to the next direction is now unobstructed. ”

“…… That's right. In the reaction of the rest of the players' faces in unison, it was the exile war song who was the first to nod: "If we can take advantage of the chaos to escape, this trial may be completed immediately." ”

"But...... Is it really okay for us to leave that little girl like this? ”

Before the shocked Alaste wanted to shout against him, the soul hunter who became the center of everyone's attention then scratched his short hair: "I, I mean, if there is really any accident, will we be able to pass without one person?" ”

"You don't know that little girl's combat power, there is almost no difference between more of her and less of her."

With a cruel grin on his face, Lin Yuan turned his head to look at the other three people present: "But that's not the crux of the matter. ”

"The crux of the matter is if someone is not present...... Does our team's trial count as passing? He pointed to the direction that his team had just touched, and the place that was gradually invisible in the depths of the jungle: "If you pass this test with a four-person line-up, then Miss Murong Qingchun, who has been abandoned, ...... What will be the outcome of the final trial? ”

"To leave or to stay, it's a real question, and it's not wrong to make any decision, but you only have one chance to experiment." He looked around at everyone present, and at the same time pushed back the magic whistling that was still echoing in front of the battlefield behind his own wave: "So at this point, I will not interfere with your choice, everyone......"

"Decide for yourself."

“…… I agree. ”

"I'm against it!"

"I, I, I, I, I'm against!"

Almost at the same moment, the voice that sounded instantly appeared in Lin Yuan's ears and surrounded him with the right hand raised by the three people together: "I don't care if I don't test or not, we just can't leave our companions!" ”

"But if we miss this opportunity, we may not have a better chance."

"What are you talking about, brother exile! If it were me who was lying there, would you say something like that? ”

"Yes. It's a big deal to make it up to you afterwards. ”

"You ——!"

"I, I can understand the choice of the exiled brother, but I don't have a choice now, I have to protect my young lady, this is the meaning of my coming to this game......"

"Good! Sure enough, it's the loyal and courageous Alast! Now we have two votes! ”

"That'...... Captain, what do you think? ”

The argument that sounded like a storm ended in an instant, and the eyes of several people returned to the magician in unison: "Captain, do you think you should leave or stay?" ”

"I'm ......"

Rumble!

Before Lin Yuan could say his answer, a muffled sound of an explosion appeared in the woods in front of the side of the team, and one of the several black shadows that retreated with the explosion also let out a low cry like an alarm bell, accompanied by the sight of a figure being pulled out of the grass.

"Who are you?"
