Chapter 204

Ning Yuan died.

To be honest, apart from the shadows passing through his eyes, the fishy stench at the end of his nose and the instant tightness of his throat and the short-term sharp pain, Ning Yuan didn't have much painful experience with this death.

At the moment when his neck was bitten off, Ning Yuan's consciousness fell into darkness under the protection of the system.

For his first death, Ning Yuan felt a little confused. Because he was dead before he was completely aware of what was happening.

In the darkness and light of day, Ning Yuan had turned into a spirit and appeared above his corpse. Then he watched the Qingfeng wolf gnaw on his still twitching body. There was a big hole in his neck, and thin blood kept pouring out of the hole, and his head with an unknown expression was crooked on his shoulder, and the hollow pupils seemed to still retain the shadow of a bloody mouth.

After losing his mind for a short time, Ning Yuan subconsciously touched the neck of his spirit body, and gradually woke up from his ignorance at a loss.

After the spirit body's eyes clearly reflected his gradually gnawing and mutilated body, Ning Yuan realized what had just happened.

He's dead. Without any warning, without any resistance, he was bitten off the neck from the front by a demon beast at the moment of turning. Although it was not uncommon for him to experience death in other Void games, it was the first time he had been killed without any reaction as this one.

Ning Yuan subconsciously began to recall the details of that moment, and then carefully experienced all the details of that moment again and again with the help of "Sunset", as if in slow motion. Including the salivating bloody mouth when he turned around, the fangs reflecting the cold and cold light on the bloody mouth, from the moment it was reflected in the pupil to the moment it crossed the pupil, followed by the fishy smell that rushed into the nose, then the goosebumps on the neck that were instantly aroused by the feeling of pressure, the slight itching when the fangs broke through the skin, the tightness caused by the squeezing of the throat, the sharp pain when the neck was bitten off, and the faint cracking sound of the neck bone.

As if in slow motion, he experienced the process of death again, and Ning Yuan, who had already turned into a spirit body, also felt a tingling chill and creepiness on his scalp in an instant. Then there was a feeling of nausea from chest tightness and churning viscera, and the irrepressible horror made Ning Yuan start retching in the spirit state.

The details of the memories mapped by "Sunset" made Ning Yuan's death process, which he had not felt much, clear and painful.

Ning Yuan, who could barely suppress his disgust, began to retch again at the moment his mutilated corpse appeared in his eyes.

By the time Ning Yuan finally suppressed his disgust, the Qingfeng Wolf had already disappeared, along with the mutilated corpse that seemed to be engraved in Ning Yuan's mind. All that was left at the scene was a pool of blood and a short gun left aside.

Ning Yuan closed the spirit body's eyes in pain, and it took a long time to open them again. Then he looked blankly at the resurrection options that appeared in front of him.

"The player has died, please choose the resurrection method:

In-situ reincarnation resurrection (optional);

Random reshaping avatar resurrection within 100 meters (optional);

Reshape the incarnation in the bound resurrection altar (not optional);

Reshape avatars in a nearby city Resurrection Altar at random (not optional). ”

Because Ning Yuan chose to come autonomously, according to the rules, it is equivalent to automatically giving up the opportunity to obtain the initial household registration and bind the resurrection point. Only registered players and natives can respawn randomly at the respawn point in one or more of the nearest allied cities.

Therefore, the only thing Ning Yuan could choose was to resurrect on the spot or a random resurrection within a hundred meters of the place of death.

Ning Yuan, who was in a spirit state, subconsciously touched his neck and controlled himself not to think about his death, his eyes carefully observed the surrounding situation, and confirmed that the demon beast had dragged his uneaten corpse and disappeared from the field of vision, and there were no other demon beasts in other directions, Ning Yuan chose to resurrect on the spot.

The way of resurrection in situ on the continent of Nino is still very humane. It didn't stir up any light and shadow effects, just the transformation of the spirit from virtual to real. It was as if someone appeared in the air without warning, very quiet and hidden.

After being resurrected down-to-earth, Ning Yuan subconsciously touched his neck, and then gently stretched his body to check the state after resurrection.

The body is intact and healthy, the original hunger and exhaustion, including fine scratches, are completely gone, and the novice suit will actively appear on the body at the moment of resurrection due to the never-wearing nature of the system. So apart from the props he carried, Ning Yuan didn't have any material losses.

As for the props, Ning Yuan looked in the direction where the Qingfeng Wolf was leaving, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Possessing himself to pick up the short spear on the ground, and then carefully avoiding the blood on the ground, Ning Yuan hunched over and quietly groped along the trail of the corpse.

Sure enough, he first found the falling flame stone a few meters away, and then found the vial of hemostatic powder left from the corpse more than ten meters away.

After all the lost props were recovered, Ning Yuan tiptoed to collect some pulp in the nearby grass and twisted the juice to apply it to the novice suit and exposed skin. Then he quickly and stealthily dived into the distance.

In the grass under a hidden tree somewhere far away from the place of death, Ning Yuan subconsciously touched his neck, and then sat down on the ground against the trunk of the tree, sighing silently.

Focus your consciousness in your mind and bring up the character panel:

After taking the White Skull Grass, Ning Yuan's physical talent began to be in the embryonic state of awakening due to the improvement of his physical fitness, and it was believed that after Ning Yuan obtained the cultivation method and began to cultivate, he would be able to quickly awaken one or two of them with the help of the remaining medicinal effects hidden in the body of the White Skull Grass and not absorbed.

There are only three resurrections, and there are two left. Ning Yuan's expression was a little depressed. Especially this death, for Ning Yuan at this time, it was a little inexplicable and overwhelmed.

Subconsciously touched his neck again, although the details of the death memory had begun to blur because of the side effects of "sunset", the shadow remained in his mind at all times, and he didn't even want to recall Ning Yuan at all.

But in order to find out all the truth about this inexplicable death and avoid such a situation from happening again, Ning Yuan endured the fear of the shadow of death engraved in his mind, turned on the "sunset" again, and began to recall all the details of today from the moment before death.

As he repeated over and over again in his mind all the details of his memories from the moment he woke up this morning to the moment before he died, Ning Yuan began to reflect.

There is no doubt that the direct cause of this death was that the sound of Ning Yuan stepping on the branch when he got down the tree inadvertently attracted the attention of the Qingfeng Wolf, and Ning Yuan did not stop in time at that time but accelerated the action of getting down the tree, which made the Qingfeng Wolf really discover Ning Yuan, and everything that happened later became a matter of course.

Human beings, including other intelligent races and demon beasts, have always been immortal, which can be said to be an immortal mark engraved in the blood and bones of both sides. Demon beasts regard "humans" as food and evolutionary aid, while "humans" regard monsters as natural enemies while peeking at the materials on the monsters.

It can be said that "humans" and monsters were destined to die from the beginning.

What surprised Ning Yuan was why he stepped on the broken branch at that time, why he didn't notice the appearance of the Qingfeng wolf, and why he didn't stop his movements and hide himself at the moment he stepped on the broken branch.

You must know that Yi Ningyuan was cautious at the beginning, and the first thing that came to mind in any wind and grass was always to observe covertly, rather than ignoring possible risks.

Although in essence, Ning Yuan is not a person who is used to being cautious, let alone a person who is cautious enough to be close to neuroticism. But it depends on the environment.

What is this place? This is the Great Forest of Dragon Blood, and there are too many threats here that are fatal to Ning Yuan, who has not yet cultivated. Not to mention the densely distributed various demon beasts, not to mention those seemingly harmless but deadly natural traps, just the poisonous snakes, poisonous insects and even poisonous weeds that can be seen everywhere may inadvertently kill Ning Yuan.

In such an environment, Ning Yuan knew very well that he could not be too cautious and cautious.

The memory moves forward again, and more details are revealed. Ning Yuan found that the first few times when it seemed easy to avoid demon beasts were actually just seeming. With the details reproduced in his mind now, Ning Yuan felt that it was really a fluke that he was not attacked by the demon beast in front.

Take, for example, the last time you avoided a boar-type monster before you died. At that time, Ning Yuan found the tusked pig digging the soil when the two sides were close to less than seventy meters, and Ning Yuan, who was startled at the time, subconsciously took a step back, and then stepped on a dead branch. Not only that, but the short spear in his right hand also bumped into the trunk of the tree next to him under the nervous movement.

Both of these mistakes should have been fatal. But Ning Yuan, who was in a state of tension, didn't notice.

However, fortunately, there were dense bushes in front of the tree, and the rotten leaves under the dead branches were also very thick, and the sounds that sounded almost simultaneously in both places were suppressed in a very close range, which caused Ning Yuan to get close to the demon beast at a close distance, and he could avoid the illusion of not being discovered in time.

However, is it really not found?

But in the reproduced memory, Ning Yuan noticed a detail. When the two voices sounded, the fanged pig's ears twitched slightly, but it didn't turn around.

Although there were only two mistakes to make a sound from a certain distance from the monster beast like this, there were many slight mistakes in today's trip, such as the shape of the body that was not pressed low enough, the shaking of branches and leaves that could have been avoided, the unnecessary toggle action when walking in the bushes, and so on.

Why is this happening? Ning Yuan reproduced all the details repeatedly, and then turned his memory back to the day before to start the comparison.

Then Ning Yuan discovered the root.

The joy of harvesting the White Skull Grass, the joy of improving his physical fitness after taking the White Skull Grass, the joy of being safe and sound in the first two days, and the joy that the most dangerous distance on the periphery was about to pass, this kind of joy made Ning Yuan's mentality unconsciously relax a little from extreme concentration and tension. Then the sudden improvement of physical fitness made Ning Yuan's movements, which were not fully adapted, unconsciously begin to lose shape.

And then everything happened naturally today.

"Three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, a little color just want to open a dyeing workshop."

"That's really my style." After Ning Yuan figured out the cause and effect, he subconsciously touched his neck, and then said softly with inexplicable self-deprecation.

Ning Yuan was born in an ordinary family, with a tough and heroic eldest brother and an eccentric little sister below, and he looked a little mediocre in the middle. If you use the words of the cold-faced old father, it is, "Ning Yuan, this kid is smart and smart, but he can't bear his temperament, if he doesn't grind his temperament well, he will suffer sooner or later." It can be said that this evaluation is a prophecy.

The lesson this time is not just a simple loss, it has completely become a shadow.

Originally, death was terrible for Ning Yuan, but death in the game was not terrible. But this time, under the influence of "Sunset", he began to feel that whether it was death in reality or death in the game, as long as it was not in harmony mode, whether there was pain or not, it was terrible.

Noticing that his left hand was once again unconsciously touching his neck, Ning Yuan knew that for a long time, he would not forget this death experience. Even if the memory will be quickly blurred or even forgotten because of the "sunset", the shadow is estimated to follow me for a long time.

In the following time, Ning Yuan did not continue to hurry, but found a safe place to hide himself completely. Before he completely controlled the improved physical fitness, and did it freely, before he completely adjusted his mentality, Ning Yuan did not plan to continue to move forward.

At noon on the fourth day, Ning Yuan finally adjusted his state to the best and walked out of the tree hole where he was hiding, and continued to move towards the edge of the forest.

In the next few days, under Ning Yuan's close to neurotic caution and caution, he finally walked out of the periphery of the Dragon's Blood Forest and stepped into the edge.

It was also on this day, the eighth day of Ning Yuan's arrival on the Neno Continent, that Ning Yuan met humans for the first time on the edge of the Dragon's Blood Great Forest.

At that time, Ning Yuan was carefully avoiding a wild beast jungle tiger, hiding on the back of a rock in the forest, preparing to spy on the movement of the jungle tiger that was obviously looking for food.

Just as Ning Yuan was about to probe, there was a chaotic shouting sound and the sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air in the distance, and then he saw a sparse rain of arrows shooting from the gap in the forest on the side towards the position of the jungle tiger.

Although the rain of arrows was sparse, it landed neatly, around and in the center of the jungle tiger. Although the jungle tiger dodged most of the arrows with great dexterity, two of them were stuck in its back.

And at the moment when the Jungle Tiger roared in pain, a silent cold light flashed, and a pitch-black iron arrow was nailed straight into the Jungle Tiger's hardest forehead. The tiger's roar stopped abruptly, and after a few gentle whimpering, the Jungle Tiger's two-meter-long body fell straight down.

"Husband-level cultivator?!" Ning Yuan whispered with some surprise.

"The arrow is silent, and it is three points into the bone" is the mark of a husband-level archer.

Just when Ning Yuan was surprised, a cold touch came from his neck, and a dagger with a flickering cold light was on Ning Yuan's neck for some time, followed by a low and hoarse snort:

"Don't move."

Ning Yuan froze, his face turned pale for a moment, and then he calmed down, let go of the short gun with his right hand, and said with some difficulty:

"Misunderstanding."

"Another husband?!" Ning Yuan's mind screamed, and his heart was churning.

"Disappearing, dagger out of the throat" is the sign of a husband-level scout.

Although Ning Yuan had not cultivated, after taking the White Skull Grass, his physical fitness was already close to that of a cultivator who had cultivated the first wisp of internal qi. It's impossible for a soldier-level cultivator to get close to him and not be able to spot it, not even the scouts who are the best at stealth operations.

So this one behind him can only be a husband-level scout.

"Misunderstanding?" The hoarse voice was suspicious.

"Yes." Ning Yuan didn't dare to make a big move, so he could only nod slightly and explain, "I'm just avoiding that tiger. ”

Ning Yuan felt that his back was lightly touched by a hand, and an unknown feeling probed into his body, and then he felt the pressure in his neck loosen, the cold touch disappeared, and the dagger was taken back by the other party.

"Ordinary people?!"

Ning Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Yes." ”

Then he asked carefully, "Can I turn around?" ”

"Turn it around."

Hearing the other party's reply, Ning Yuan carefully turned around and faced the direction of the comer.

Ten steps away stood silently a young man in a black suit, except for a slender scar at the corner of his eye, his expression was cold, the young man's face was very ordinary, and his breath was also very ordinary. But I don't know why, the other party just stood there silently, and Ning Yuan felt a cold sense of oppression faintly.

Ten steps. It was an insurmountable distance for an ordinary person like Ning Yuan, but it was the best attack distance for a husband-level scout.

Just as Ning Yuan, who had a timid expression, and the other party were observing each other, a heavy footstep and a rough voice came from the other side of the rock:

"Scar, what's wrong?"

"Scar Boss, there's someone here."

The young man known as the fine scar replied in a slightly hoarse voice, and at the same time pointed to the outside with his left hand, and the dagger in his right hand pointed at Ning Yuan, and said:

"Let's go."

Ning Yuan nodded a little timidly, and walked out of the rock with a bitter face.

"Anyone?!" The rough voice replied with some surprise, and then said to himself: "There are still people in the forest at this time period?!" ”

Immediately, I saw Ning Yuan who walked out and a cold-faced young man holding a short gun behind him.

"Hey, is there really someone?!"

A strong man with a full face looked at Ning Yuan's eyes and shouted:

"Still an ordinary person?! Hey, little ones, come here. There was an ordinary person who had not cultivated and entered the forest during this time period. ”

More than a dozen people who were cleaning up the corpses of jungle tigers in the distance looked up in surprise when they heard this, and then they came around with a chaotic whistling sound.

"Huh? There are really people! ”

"It's really an ordinary person!"

"Crazy, isn't this guy?"

"It's definitely crazy to go into the forest at this time."

"It's either crazy or stupid to go into the forest at this time."

More than a dozen tall and short, fat and different, but all of them were men in strong suits with a strong face and a lean face, like a monkey, around Ning Yuan while pointing and talking gossiping.

"That..." Ning Yuan raised his right hand timidly and gestured.

"Stop." The strong man who was called Scar by the cold-faced young man waved his hand to stop the discussion of his subordinates, looked at Ning Yuan with interest and said, "You say." ”

Staring at them one by one, either playful or funny, Ning Yuan's face couldn't help but break out in a fine cold sweat, and his expression became even more cowardly and weakly asked:

"Excuse me, why can't you go into the forest at this time?"

"Huh?!" The strong man's expression was solemn, his eyes widened, and his hand subconsciously grabbed the iron bow on his shoulder, the cold-faced young man behind Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes at the same time, the dagger appeared in his hand, and the others also instantly put away their expressions, and their hands were either grabbed or placed on their respective weapons.

Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, cold sweat burst out like a waterfall in an instant, his hands swayed wildly, his expression was cowardly, and his eyes were scared and eagerly said:

"Don't! Don't get me wrong! I! I'm just asking! ”

Scar's eyes widened when he heard this, and he twisted his eyebrows and asked:

"Who are you?"

"Ordinary people." Ning Yuan replied subconsciously.

Scar's expression was sharp, and he said fiercely:

"I ask you where your household registration is?"

Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, glared at Scar and said:

"I don't have a household registration."

"Non-civil?" Scar's hoarse voice asked suspiciously.

"It's not." Ning Yuan bowed his head and replied.

"Player?!" Scar frowned and guessed.

Ning Yuan was startled and looked up at Scar's fierce face.

"Really a player?!" Scar was stunned for a moment, and then confirmed with surprise and delight.

Ning Yuan nodded lightly.

The moment he saw Ning Yuan nodding, not only Scar, but everyone relaxed again in an instant.

But the more playful and inexplicable eyes made Ning Yuan's heart feel a little cold, and his face became more and more cowardly.

"Say it." Scar looked at Ning Yuan with a playful expression.

"What?" Ning Yuan said cowardly and weakly.

"Your chance." Scar looked at Ning Yuan's eyes and said with a cruel smile.

Ning Yuan's pupils contracted instantly, and his face was covered with a look of horror.

Although he reacted instantaneously in his mind, he gave up the idea of hiding his expression and looked at Scar with a shocked expression, as if asking again, "How do you know?" ”

Scar raised his eyebrows, seemed to understand Ning Yuan's question, and said:

"I don't know if you can't go into the forest at this time."

"I don't have a household registration."

"It's not a tribe or a people."

"I'm still an ordinary person who hasn't cultivated."

"And your clothes that don't show signs of wear."

"There are also many displaced people in the broken city, who have no cultivation, no household registration, and are not non-people, right?" Ning Yuan retorted weakly.

"But adding the first and last is certainly not proof that you are a player. And it is a player who did not choose the spawn point of the city-state. Isn't it? Scar said with a playful expression.

"And how did you know for sure I had a chance?" Ning Yuan looked cowardly and bitterly puzzled.

"The second and fourth, plus your player's identity, are enough." Scar added with a sinister smile, "Besides, Huangsheng is not only in your world. ”

"Understood." Ning Yuan closed his eyes, and nodded helplessly with a bitter and helpless look on his cowardly face, "One last question." ”

"For chance's sake, you say." A slightly hideous smile appeared on Scar's fleshy face, and he looked at Ning Yuan patiently and said.

"Why can't you go into the forest during this time? Who are you? Ning Yuan opened his eyes, and asked with a look of fear and determination on his cowardly face.

"Let Scar tell you about that." Scar pointed behind Ning Yuan, and then instructed the surrounding people, "Pack up the tiger carcass, we're ready to make a big deal." ”

"Alright, boss."

"Listen to you, boss."
