Chapter 220: The Ferryman
The mysterious lake is covered with fog all day long, and the water surface is so quiet that it does not make a little wave, which makes people wonder if there is no life at the bottom of the lake, and it seems that what you can see from standing by the lake is not the surface of the lake, but the abyss of cannibalism.
The viper sneezed, rubbed its arm slightly, and silently toned down the perception of realism.
"Is anyone still thinking about me at this time?" The poisonous snake sneezed a few more times in a row, looked at his status bar, and was in a cold state, and if he didn't think of a way to keep warm, he might really catch a cold or even get frostbite.
Except for the ancient trees and the vicinity of Huolong Mountain, the rest of the map is relatively cold, and the misty lake is the coldest place, with a perennial temperature of less than 0 degrees, and now it is estimated to be around minus 30 degrees, and the lake surface has no meaning of freezing at all.
"I've heard that when the fog is at its thickest, there will be ghost boats carrying people to the island in the middle of the lake, is this fog today?"
The poisonous snake has never been to the misty lake, only knows a little bit from the relevant information, and today's fog is indeed very large, and the visibility is no more than five meters, so thick that people feel a little uneasy.
Maybe ten minutes, maybe two minutes, the viper felt that he had waited long enough, and just as he was about to lose his patience, a small wooden boat suddenly appeared by the lake.
The wooden boat was very shabby, and could only stand four or five people at most, and there was a ferryman in a coat and hat in the bow of the boat, with his head bowed and his back to the viper, and he could not see his face clearly, and he did not speak.
"Really here?" The poisonous snake was a little surprised, he just came to try his luck, but he didn't expect that this was really the most foggy day.
Since meeting Su Yang, the poisonous snake has been unlucky, and he was chased by Xiaoqiao Liushui on the way, thanks to the cooldown time of his dying instinct, he finally escaped death.
Meeting the lake ferryman here, Viper thought it was time for him to transfer himself.
According to known information, there are only a maximum of ten wooden boats in the Misty Lake at a time, and Viper doesn't know if he is the first person to board the wooden boat in the race scene, but he knows that there will be no one else on this trip.
Walking on the wooden boat, the viper said to the ferryman, "Go to the island in the middle of the lake." ”
“……”
The ferryman did not respond, nor did he paddle, just turned his back to the viper, and the venomous snake, which had always been bold, felt a little creepy, and guessed that the ferryman wanted to wait for more people to board the boat.
"If no one else comes, won't the ship go?"
Fortunately, it was not as the viper guessed, and after waiting for less than ten minutes, the wooden boat began to move, and the viper clearly saw that what was exposed in the ferryman's cuffs was not a palm, but a skeleton without flesh and blood.
There was silence, and I had heard that the lake ferryman was a ghost imprisoned in the mist, responsible for transporting boatloads of people to the island in the middle of the lake, and the ferryman was also looking for an opportunity for someone else to replace him so that he could be freed.
There used to be an eyeless player who provoked the ferryman, and the result was that he replaced the ferryman who rowed the boat all day, transporting not the players to the island in the middle of the lake, but groups of inexplicable monsters.
There is no other danger in being a ferryman for a day, but it is boring, and it will not trap the player here all the time, not counting the offline time, just paddling for a full 24 hours.
The poisonous snake does not touch the moldy head, and sits honestly at the stern of the boat, keeping a certain distance from the ferryman.
It takes about a quarter of an hour from the lake to the island, and the viper looks around curiously, and when the boat leaves the shore, it is as if it has entered another world, and there is no reference in sight, only a pool of stagnant water and a small boat.
According to common sense, the ferryman will not take the initiative to talk to the player, and the player will disappear when he is sent to the island, and will appear after a while to send the player away.
The island in the middle of the lake prohibits returning to the city hedron, and if the player misses the boat on the way back, they will either wait for the next fog or commit suicide to return to the city.
The ferryman suddenly stopped his movements and turned his head slowly, and the viper's near-death instinct told him that things were not going well, and that there was a death crisis in all directions. I saw that the ferryman showed a blank face, and under the gaze of the poisonous snake, he gradually showed exactly the same facial features as him, and grinned evilly: "Do you want to accept the darkness and become a part of the darkness?" ”
System: Become a Dark Reaper?
Dark Reaper: Enhance attributes in all aspects, after becoming a dark reaper, you can't take the initiative to leave the misty lake within 24 hours, you will no longer get points for killing monsters, when you kill a player, you can plunder 30% of the opponent's points, if you are killed by a player, your own points are -50%, and you will not get any props during becoming a dark reaper.
Looking at the ferryman's sad smiling face, the poisonous snake also smiled: "Of course, I am the darkness. ”
……
Towards the end of the second day, the safe zone had been reduced seven times, and now the safe zone was less than one percent of the total map, which was still relatively large, of course.
Su Yang found through the map that the safe area was getting closer and closer to the misty lake, and if the last safe area was on a small island in the middle of the lake, how to land on the island was also a problem.
The safe zone is never set to be a dead end, and if it is really reduced to a small island in the middle of the lake, then today is definitely the day to go to the island.
"Five people in a small boat, a maximum of ten ships a day, can only let fifty people land on the island?" Su Yang felt that this was unlikely, and the competition scene was different from the outside, the outside world could gather five people to board the boat, where would there be such people in the competition, and he wished that he was the only one who could reach the safe zone.
Su Yang arrived near the Misty Lake, and did not approach rashly, there must be many players who have ideas about the Misty Lake, and now they don't know where the final safe zone will be.
"Qiao Sheng Nanmu doesn't know what happened, with her strength, it shouldn't be difficult to survive until now." Su Yang rode the ironclad rhinoceros away from the misty lake and walked close to the edge of the darkness, and by now, there was no need for the ironclad rhinoceros to hurry.
Su Yang now has more than 700 points, ranking about 200 points, and less than 1,000 surviving players. Huanyu has fallen out of the top ten, his points are still much higher than Su Yang, I think it is still within a hundred, and when the safe area is getting smaller and smaller, the opportunities for players to hunt monsters will also decrease, and in the end it is still a battle between players.
"Huanyu died so early, it is estimated that it can still stick to the top 100."
Su Yang, who was walking, saw someone rushing out of the black curtain, this person was still burning with a raging fire, Su Yang subconsciously started sneaking, observing the other party from a distance.
On the grassland at night, a burning man is very visible, and an ironclad rhinoceros is also conspicuous.
The other party saw the iron-armored rhinoceros at a glance, but he didn't see Su Yang sneaking on the rhinoceros's back, he was even more surprised than Su Yang, why, why is there an iron-armored rhinoceros in this place?
"Is that him?" Su Yang opened his eagle eye and saw the face under the flames, "How could Yan Tiandao just rush out of the danger area, and he was trapped outside?" ”
