Chapter 2 Prologue 3
The figure of the night is getting closer. There was nothing in the desolate forest except for the occasional crow's lonely chirping. At this time, the words of the people who were almost suppressed by the heavy snow were particularly abrupt. Following the footsteps of different shades, Gao Ling and the others have been out for more than a week.
This is the northernmost point of the continent of Beltan. As the coldest part of the game "The Ninth World", it has always been off the beaten track. Aside from the aristocratic gamers with their skills, commoners like Rhy and their NPCs don't want to come to this place. Of course, they have no choice when there is a task. Unfortunately, the wildlings, who had always been at peace with the north, had been approaching the walls of the city recently. The walls were built to keep out the barbarians, but even if the people in the city did not let them in, they would rather freeze to death under the walls than return to the forest, and as the people gathered, they made many violent moves. Of course, all this will be suppressed, but Xuanyuanzun, the king of the North, is very concerned about why the wildlings, who have always been peaceful, keep fleeing their original "home".
Recently, there have been rumors among the "nobles" (players) that there is a new boss in the game's newest dungeon, "Arctic Lands". The boss is blood-red, like a demon, and there has been no announcement of a player defeating it so far. At the same time, the official seems to be maintaining a sense of mystery, and the general release of this boss is not a good idea. What's even more peculiar is that the monster doesn't seem to have a status bar? Maybe it's a bug in the system! If you can be lucky enough to defeat it and get a special reward, then it is not impossible to become a player who has become the top player in the whole server - Gao Ling, a level 35 "nobleman" thinks so, so he decided to try his luck with the orders of Lord Xuanyuan Zun.
"I don't think these savages will come here when they don't have anything to eat," Ryze (a civilian) urged as the surrounding woods grew darker and the cold became more aggressive, "Let's go back." Lord Xuanyuan Zun just asked us to go out of the city to explore the situation outside the walls, and by the way, investigate the so-called situation about the wild people. But the savages are dead, aren't they? Do you really believe the rumors that they have been driven here by some so-called evil spirit? β
Deeply, Ruiz didn't believe such rumors.
"I heard they still have wings. This kind of thing only comes up in stories that scare children. Ruiz repeated it there.
"I haven't seen any evil ghosts, so let's not talk about them for now. Did the dead scare you, though? Captain Gao Ling asked with a light smile. This game is really real, the snowflakes sneaked into Gao Ling's mouth when he opened his mouth to speak, and Gao Ling's teeth ached. "Tsk," he smacked his tongue and glared at Ruiz impatiently.
"I'm not just going to do a walk!"
Gao Ling is an ambitious player. But you can't come out and explore alone, after all, in the game "The Ninth World", there is no so-called backpack to hold equipment, everything is restored according to real proportions. Therefore, if you want to have enough time, you must have enough manpower and materials to support it, and Xuanyuan Zun's order is just an opportunity.
"Don't mention anything back until the mission is completed, especially some guys who rely on the old and sell the old to shake the morale of the army!"
Gao Ling obviously had no intention of going back. In the face of Gao Ling's provocation, Ruiz did not fall for his provocation. The silence along the way has already shown everyone's dissatisfaction, and he is not alone. Besides, he is already over fifty years old, and he can be regarded as an old guy. This old guy has seen too many nobles like Gao Ling come and go in his life. He didn't care about this painless sentence.
"The wild men outside the walls, dead are dead," he said, "and why should we go after the dead? β
"Are you sure they're really dead?" Gao Ling's voice seemed soft but provocative, "My dear Mr. Ryze, where is the proof? β
"Noelle sees it," Ryze said calmly, still calm, "and I believe what he says. β
The atmosphere became subtle for a moment. It's like two dry sticks of firewood, and only a little spark is missing to ignite.
"Oh, that's just the conclusion of an ignorant civilian. You think I'll take it? β
Gao Ling, as a player, didn't look at these civilians at all. In his mind, they were nothing more than a bunch of code with a human appearance in the game. Ruiz had expected that sooner or later he would get himself involved in this dispute, but he didn't expect it so soon. "My woman has said that dead people don't speak." He interjected.
"When did you say that? When you stretch your muscles and work hard only to find yourself penniless? β
Gao Ling sneered at his pale yellow straw-like eyebrows. But the surrounding partners were all pale, and they were not moved by Gao Ling's evil joke at all. The cold made their faces frozen and unable to move, and even a slightly larger movement could tear their own skin!
"Well, you're just ignorant civilians. Gao Ling said angrily, "Give you a piece of advice, don't believe what you hear in a woman's arms." His suppressed anger echoed through the twilight forest.
The harsh living environment in the north has led to the scarcity of players here, and as one of the few players, Gao Ling was naturally reused by Xuanyuan Zun and became the captain of this exploration outside the walls. Although his level is only thirty-five, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is definitely not comparable to only one level of "civilians" who will always be there. In fact, everyone has long had prejudices against Gao Ling's arrogance, but they didn't dare to say anything because of their strength.
"But there's still a long way back," Ruiz points out, "and it's going to take eight or nine days, and it's getting dark." β
Gao Ling glanced at the sky with gusto. "Isn't that the case every day at this time? Ruiz, as the elder of several of us, you shouldn't be afraid of the dark, right? β
Noelle (a civilian) saw Ryze's clenched lip and the anger he suppressed under his heavy black cloak. Ryze has lived in the northernmost part of the world for decades, and no matter what the wind and cold, he has experienced much more than the milky kid in front of him. And engaged in the task of patrolling the border, joined the blue wolf group, and became a wild wolf, but he had been engaged in it for decades before Lord Xuanyuan Zun captured this city. This kind of qualification is not something that makes people happy. But Ryze wasn't just angry, beneath his wounded self-esteem, Noelle was vaguely aware of some underlying unease, a tension bordering on fear.
Maybe it's just an illusion caused by the confrontation between the two? Noelle hinted to himself, trying to ignore the uneasiness, but it didn't work out well.
Noelle had only been guarding the border for four years, and when he opened the tunnels that had been sealed for hundreds of years for the first time under the guidance of Xuanyuan Zun, and secretly marched north from the south side of the glacier, the fear of knowing nothing about the outside world emptied his brain. (4 years ago, the Northern Dungeon was first opened) All of a sudden, all the legends and stories suddenly came to mind, and he was scared to the point that his limbs went weak. Now that he is here again, he can't help but be embarrassed when he thinks about it afterwards. The same venue, the same climate, the only difference is that now he is a veteran with more than 100 patrol experience, and suddenly, a black shadow broke the cold silence of everyone. The rustling of footsteps was unusually clear even in the snow. The crowd couldn't help but worry, what was going on around them? They don't know. But that shadow, very quickly, very quickly, is not of the good kind! "Ahh
Guy behind Gao Ling suddenly screamed. Everyone quickly turned around, and the white snow was gone, only to find that Guy's body had been fiercely entangled by a giant python wearing black scale armor. This giant python was five or six meters long, two fists thick, and everyone stopped in surprise, until the next second Guy's head was swallowed by this giant python in one gulp, and everyone reacted.
"A level forty creature? Bastard, you're even higher than me! Gao Ling silently recited the status bar in his heart and cursed after being able to see only as a pioneer, "Where's my long sword?" Quick, give me my sword, you shit! β
"Captain Gao Ling, go on!" Noelle was also quick to respond. He immediately threw the long sword he was carrying to Gao Ling. Although it was a white blade without any magic enhancement, Gao Ling still did not hesitate, raised the big knife and slashed directly horizontally.
However, Gao Ling, who originally wanted to control the strength and only cut off the snake's body, understood when the long sword touched the giant python that with such scale armor, it was impossible to control the strength without hurting Guy. No, I may use all my strength, but I may not be able to cut through its scale armor with a single sword!
"Ahh This brute! Gao Ling was excited by this immersive fear. His body was trembling slightly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised!
Seeing that the other party couldn't hurt himself at all, the giant python grinned provocatively and spat out the letter and screamed. The suffocating-sounding voice was provocative, and Guy showed his head, not dead, but his whole head turned dark purple!
"Woo, woo......" Guy was still struggling, his mouth was faintly gasping, but his ribcage was desperately rising and falling.
The terrifying power of the giant python squeezed Guy's right hand and arm to the ground and turned purple, and after continuing to contract, the blood vessels finally couldn't withstand such a lot of pressure and exploded! Blood splattered everywhere like a fountain! Gao Ling knew that if he continued like this, he would lose his life before he could save Guy. Safi raised his broadsword and went around the back of the python and slashed at him, but he was still unscathed.
"Let go, let go of Guy, you monster!"
Murray also slashed with his sword. However, let the two of them attack at will, the giant python was unmoved, and the blood bar as high as 1000 was just buckled little by little. Perhaps fed up with this mosquito bite, it finally bared its fangs viciously, biting Murray's throat almost instantly, and then spewing venom out of its fangs, melting Safi into a puddle of flesh!
"Ahh You've killed all my faithful, industrious brutes! Without them, who would handle all this heavy stuff for me? β
Gao Ling is duplicitous. Even though he said this, he was angry that his partner was killed. He could see that even if it was an NPC or a computer code, he was conscious and trying hard to survive!
"You bastard, congratulations on your success in angering Young Master Ben!"
Noel suddenly discovered that the snowdrifts around Gao Ling's body had begun to melt! Gao Lingdi's body was slightly red, and the heat was extremely conspicuous under the extreme cold, as if it was a humanoid steam engine! He unleashed his newly acquired skill, "Berserk"! Gao Ling, who exuded a bright red rage all over his body, briefly increased his strength to a level beyond his own level, and his attack showed no mercy to his subordinates. Roaring and writhing his body, he tried his best to use the muscles of his body. With a ferocious roar, Gao Ling unleashed the power of his muscles with all his strength, slashing the blade of the long sword towards the giant python. After a brief collision with the scale armor, it was successfully broken and slashed deep into the flesh of the python!
"It worked!"
Everyone cheered, and the damage caused by the "rage" was immediate, but the powerful destructive force slashed into Guy's body with the same viciousness because it was uncontrollable. A hot air was instantly emitted with a "poof" sound similar to a balloon leaking. Along with it were countless bright red red liquids with a fishy smell, as well as the gushing out of python internal organs. Due to the entanglement of the giant python, the air pressure in Guy's body has long been out of balance. Now that his body had stopped after being slashed into his spine by a long sword, it was like a leaking balloon, and things were spraying wildly.
Ruiz subconsciously blocked his eyes with his hand. Even the well-informed could not accept such a picture. Not to mention the other young people, a few of them even knelt directly in the icy snow.
Disgusting, disgusting, even NPCs have the same reactions as human players. And Gao Ling, who is a real player, is also breathing quite rapidly. Even though he usually looked down on these natural people, and even just used them as code, but when he really killed him by mistake, his heart began to feel extremely uncomfortable. His body trembled nervously at the blood on the ground.
"Dead ...... Dead ......"
This was the first time he had killed a natural person. He once thought about whether he would kill a civilian (NPC) in the game one day, and he even thought that it was just a code, and he wouldn't be moved by it, but unfortunately this was not the case.
"Bastard, why did you make the game so bloody and real? No wonder the government is starting to rectify this game, what the hell. Gao Ling cursed the developer of the game so hard that he didn't even know who made the game.
"I'm killing NPCs, not real people, not real people......"
Repeating and autosuggesting over and over again, Gao Ling ordered after forcibly regulating his spirit. "Bury Guy, Murray, and Safi......" He drew his sword, thrust it into the ground, and found the stone next to him and sat down. And the people were silent, and did as they were divided.
Thinking about it carefully, apart from the harsh weather, in the past few days, Gao Ling had never encountered such a crisis, nor had he felt such uneasiness. Tonight was an exception, very different from the past, and there was an inexplicable horror in the dark curtain that made his hairs stand on end, as if something was staring at them all the time, and when they were exhausted and relaxed, they would jump out and kill them. For the first time, he felt how annoying Lord Xuanyuanzun's orders and his own ambitions were. A week earlier, they had crossed the massive "Cape of Despair" from the tunnels of the glacier on horseback and headed north into uncharted territory. The game map is pitch black, there are no indications, everything is unknown. Halfway through, they turned northwest, and then north, and for nine days they hurried and advanced day and night, biting at the three-clawed tracks of a group of savages found on the road. The environment is deteriorating day by day and is today at rock bottom. The eerie north wind blew the shadows of the trees, like hideous creatures. Noel felt like he was being watched by something cold and inexplicable that didn't like him all day, and Reze sensed it. It's just that he hasn't complained. But at this moment, Reze only wanted to turn the horse's head and flee back to the fortress as if he was dead. But this is a thought that should never be said in front of the chief.
Especially Gao Ling, a senior who was eager to show himself in front of Xuanyuan Zun.
In Ryze's opinion, to be honest, he was a handsome eighteen-year-old young man, who should not have to wander around in this ghost place, and who could lose his life at any time, with gray eyes, gloomy, and inexplicably perfectly compatible with the environment at the moment. If you don't know, you will think that he is from abroad. Thin as a sharp knife, he rode on his sturdy black warhorse, much taller than Reze and Noelle, who rode their dwarf plows. Black leather boots and black wool pants make him tall, but a little empty. He wears black dragon skin gloves on his hands, which are extremely rare items. A black cardigan jacket was covered with hard leather armor and a gleaming black ring armor. If he looks like something, he's a bit like an immature green crab.
(In order to distinguish between players and NPCs, and to minimize the difference, the system has a background where only nobles can use magic, not commoners.) As a result, the commoners do not have the perception that these people are players, but rather regard them as naturally superior nobles. As a gamer, Gao Ling is an aristocrat in their eyes, pretentious. οΌ
It's only been a few months since Gao Ling joined the game, and it's been less than half a year since he swore to become the Night Hermit Group of the Northern Camp - but Lord Xuanyuan Zun sees his potential, so he doesn't come empty-handed, at least a lot of things.
"Lord Xuanyuan asked us to investigate the whereabouts of the wild man, and we did so, and we did our best," Ruiz walked up to Gao Ling and plucked up his courage and said, "But now, we have only found the corpse of the wild man"
"But what about the rumored demon", we haven't seen any trace of it......"
"This is not Lord Xuanyuan's order!"
Ryze's whole body was not only shaking from the cold weather, but also because of his excitement, "Maybe someone is looking away...... Maybe those wild men are the so-called demons? But now, they're dead, and their bodies will shatter at the slightest touch, and they'll never come to harass us again......"
Everyone looked at the two of them quietly, and Gao Ling's expression was very ugly. Ryze knew that it would not be good to go head-to-head with the chief, and he turned to the incident that had just happenedβ"Guy just died casually...... I think, you should think about it, he also has a family and children. It's not just him, most of you here, except for you, are the same! β
But even though Ruiz deliberately suppressed his temper, his voice grew louder. Uncontrollable, his own temper became more and more excited. It's no wonder that no matter how much you've been through, you can never get used to the shock of a life passing away in front of your eyes. The people around him were all staring at Gao Ling because of Ruiz's words, and those eyes were dark and empty. Gao Ling felt a burst of gloom and fear.
"Tsk, I got ......"
Although Gao Ling replied, this was definitely not his compromise. More than half of the food and grass items carried have been consumed, especially the mounts, which is in big trouble! What's more, Gao Ling saw something different in the eyes of Ruiz and everyone - it was the seed of rebellion!
"However, I didn't run away either!"
As he spoke, he stared at Ryze with a cold gaze, the sword in his hand stabbing into the snow. His tone still showed an unshakable feeling. With a proud look on his face, he looked up at the brothers sitting around him.
"When we get to the camp that Guy said and see the corpses of the savages, let's go back!"
When everyone heard this, they all showed joy. Their eyes were immediately filled with longing, the desire to go home. It's just that on Ruiz's battered face, there is no luster to be seen for a long time. Ryze nodded, and retreated to his place, but his small glittering eyes were still secretly looking at Gao Lingβhe still looked at the fading twilight with his characteristic haughty, pretentious eyes, as if he were the king here.
"Of course, don't make any trouble!"
Gao Ling added, this is specifically for Ruiz. In fact, Gao Ling didn't want to give up, but at this time, it was very important to mobilize their last enthusiasm - this was also to be wary of Ruiz! For the first time, Gao Ling felt the fear of human nature from Ping Ming!
"Noel, tell me again what you see. Be careful and don't miss any details. β
Gao Ling decided, he decided to return to the fortress after seeing the corpses. Of course, he didn't forget that he could log out of the game at any time, even if it would cost him all his work when he was really scared. (Logging out during the development process will take you directly back to the city respawn point, and you will lose all items and economy)
"When I've confirmed it with my own eyes, let's go back. Oh yes, remember to bring things from Guy, Murray, and Safi...... We can't bring people back, so we have to bring something to his family and give them something to think about. Then, Gao Ling turned his head to look at Noel, as if he didn't want to mention anything about Guy anymore.
"Even a guy like this is fine...... Rhyz muttered.
Noelle originally made a living by hunting. As a basic skill of a hunter, Noelle's stealth skills are first-class. Even in the warm and humid forests of the south, he sneaks silently, and ordinary people are not comparable to him at all. This talent could not be hidden, and soon, the brethren of the Blue Wolf Regiment discovered his strengths. (The game's development system is very interesting.) Even the same code can breed civilians with different abilities. Their abilities are not controlled by the system, but are acquired just like the real world.)
"The previously discovered camp is not far from here...... It's about a kilometer away! It was a low-lying area, and there was a small frozen river next to the camp. Noelle replied, "I'm already very close." There were about a dozen people, both men and women. β
"Why low-lying areas?" Gao Ling asked. "Is it for concealment or ......"
"Just to keep out the wind and snow. And they have a big rock to rely on, so the wind and snow will not hit them head-on...... Although the snow almost covered the entire camp, I could still make out it. There were no campfires, only the embers of the fire were more visible. But as I said before, they didn't move when the wind and snow couldn't kill them, and I looked at them carefully for a long time, and I swore that the living would never lie so quietly. β
"Did you find blood?"
"Nope." Noelle confessed. "But could it be covered in snow? I'm not sure about that either. β
"Do you see what weapons they have?"
"A few iron swords, two or three wooden bows, on the ground to the right hand of a few men of greater size."
"Big?"
"Well, it looks like it's supposed to be three meters tall, two of you!"
"Someone more than three meters tall?"
Gao Ling had never seen such a tall commoner - except, of course, the "nobles"!
"Could it be a nobleman?"
Gao Ling asked tentatively, "I don't know, but they are wearing torn clothes and look like countrymen?" β
"Alright! It doesn't matter," Gao Ling pondered. Judging by the height, it is definitely possible that it is the giant family chosen by the player. But dead players should go back to the city and resurrect instead of lying here, right? The system will not let the player lie in one place for more than five minutes at most, after all, this is a VRMMORPG game, and the feelings in the game will be transmitted back to the player's brain. "Freezing to death" is not impossible! It's hilarious to get frozen to death in the game. In that case, the other party can only be a wild man or a monster outside the plug!
"Three-meter-tall Savage ......"
Gao Ling was a little nervous, "It's the first time I've seen a three-meter-tall NPC in the game!" "Is it the aristocracy to put it aside first, and we'll know when we go over and see it later."
Gao Ling knew that as long as he went over and looked at the other party's status bar, it would be clear at a glance that monsters and players were completely different situations.
"Then again, what is their current state? If someone attacks, I'm afraid the body will be in tatters, right? And...... Dead people don't seem to lie neatly, do they? β
Noelle seemed to be reminded by Gao Ling. He said hurriedly. "They're not neat...... There were two or three leaning against the stones, and most of the rest were lying on the ground, perhaps killed by some monster! In short, they are all over the place, and they are definitely not asleep! β
"If you're too tired......"
"Impossible, even if you are too tired, lying like that, you will already freeze to death! Therefore, if you don't freeze to death, you must be beaten to death, there is no other possibility! Noelle was unusually insistent, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, so you could see it with the naked eye. The surrounding forest grew thicker and thicker. A cold wind blew and the woods made a constant rustling sound. Ruiz and Gary subconsciously tugged at their somewhat shabby black cloak to make sure that most of their skin was hidden under the not-so-thick layer of clothing. In comparison, Lord Gao Ling, who has a good outfit, seems to have stretched a lot. However, they all felt something unusual, as if something was approaching them, and they shivered even more.
"Lord Gao Ling, I think you should get off your horse."
Noelle stopped the line in front. As soon as they walked through the low woods, they could see the camp they had mentioned. But the frost-frozen bushes were so hard that even Gao Ling's mount and horse could not pass through here unscathed. Gao Ling looked at his own war horse, which had already suffered a lot of trauma, and its blood volume on the status bar had dropped to less than one-third, and the hunger was as high as eighty percent. There is not a lot of grain and grass to carry in the props, and if you consume the mount like this, I am afraid that you may have to walk back. Even if he was unwilling, Gao Ling could only get off the horse and move forward with his legs.
"These damn things, I wish I had set them on fire, just enough to keep them warm." Gao Ling said viciously, in exchange for Ruiz's sarcasm - "When we leave, you can do whatever you like." For now, it's better to complete the task as soon as possible. Ruiz didn't seem to want to say anything more. Noelle, please continue to lead the way. β
It's getting dark. The dark clouds in the sky became denser and denser, obscuring most of the moon. Naturally, a recruit like Noelle is unquenchable. Fortunately, Noelle still used his ability to be a hunter, and he didn't make any movement along the way. Everyone was also able to reach a short distance outside the camp of these savages by the most covert means. The crowd lay flat in the snow and mud, looking out into the open ground below.
Ruiz was placed at the front, he was a seasoned veteran, but he still cautiously reached forward little by little. But when he saw the low-lying area that Guy had mentioned, all of a sudden, his heart stopped beating, and he didn't dare to breathe for a while.
"What about people? Noel, what about the person you're talking about? β
The moonlight shone down on the clearing, reflecting the embers of campfires, snow-covered rocks, half-frozen streams, but there was no human figure!
"No...... Impossible! How so? β
Noel rubbed his eyes in disbelief as well. It's all exactly the same as it was a few hours ago...... The only difference is that all the people are gone.
"It's a tough road, Dammit!" He heard a voice from behind him - Gao Ling swung his sword and chopped the branches, and finally reached the top of the slope. He stood beside Noel, his cloak crackling, and the bright starlight clearly outlined his noble figure.
"Get down!" Noel whispered anxiously, "Something is wrong." Gao Ling didn't move, he looked down at the empty flat ground below and smiled: "Noel, it seems that the dead people you said turned into zombies and danced and ran away." β
It was as if he had suddenly lost the ability to speak, and he tried in vain to find the right words. How could such a thing happen?
"Get up." Gao Ling said angrily, "There is no one here but they are still hiding, is this the characteristic of you civilians?" It's hilarious! Cheer me up, what about your courage as a man? β
Reluctantly, everyone complied and got up from the snow.
"This is the first task that Lord Xuanyuan Zun has given me. I don't want to go home on my first mission. We've got to find these guys. Gao Ling looked around. Climb up the tree to take a look, move fast, and pay attention to whether there is a fire nearby. β
Will turned around wordlessly, knowing that justification was useless. The cold wind became more violent, and the wind blew in front of me like a knife. He walked over to an old dead tree and began to climb up after patting the trunk to make sure it wouldn't be crushed by his own weight. Soon he disappeared into the thick branches of the dry ground, and the fear was like an indigestible meal in his stomach, and he could not forget the disgusting feeling.
Suddenly there was a shout from a young nobleman below. "What's that? Did you see that? Someone is there! β
In Gao Ling's sight, a blue status bar flashed by! The player's name is also displayed on it. I can't see what it's called, but it's supposed to be a string of English letters. Apparently, not far away, there is a player on the move!
"Lord Gao Ling, could you be mistaken......
"No, absolutely not!"
The status bar can only be seen by players. "How do you guys know about such a thing as a status bar?" Gao Ling sneered, and then ran quickly over the snowdrift under the slope despite everyone's dissuasion. The mud and gravel covered in snow tripped Gao Ling, and he slid sideways down the slope like a skier. There was another slightly larger rock hidden in the snowdrift, and Gao Ling's speed was a little fast, and after hitting the stone platform, he flew up slightly, and then fell into the snowdrift.
"It hurts so much......"
The pain in the game was really transmitted to Gao Ling. Supporting his body, Gao Ling just looked up, and a status bar with the ID name "Mentally Retarded So Delicate" happened to appear in the snowdrift in front of him. A hand slightly emerged from the snowdrift, and twitched mischievously...... "Haha, it's really a person as the name suggests, why are you scary to bury yourself in the snowdrift?" β
Gao Ling started to dig the snowdrifts. Since the player is buried in a snowdrift, only the name is displayed, but no messages such as HP are displayed.
"I said I was a player before, but they didn't believe me...... In a sense, it can be regarded as a friend in distress, and it is ...... to add a friend later."
Gao Ling's mind hadn't finished his thoughts, and when he dug through the snowdrifts, he found that this player named "Mentally Handicapped So Many Delicate" had been frozen green by the severe cold! Stiff limbs as if they would shatter at the slightest touch!
"Hey, hey, don't be kidding, it doesn't look like a joke!"
The snow gets softer the more you get inside. I don't know which time I caught it, Gao Ling suddenly found that his palm was a little sticky...... He fixed his eyes and saw a little reddish liquid on his palm...... "This is ...... Blood? β
It was also at this time that Gao Ling suddenly remembered that the name he had just seen in the status bar should be a string of letters. And this person is clearly a string of Chinese...... Chinese and letters, how can you not distinguish them? The head went blank for a moment, only the body was still working, and a dry hand was exposed!
"It's ...... Isn't that right? β
Gao Ling dug the other party out of the snowdrift in one go. The dark, shriveled body exuded an eerie aura like dry wood. The status bar that has not displayed HP and MP is finally displayed - on the status bar, HP is displayed as 0!
Sure enough, this player is dead...... But how could he have been lying here......"
Gao Ling was worried that he was wrong, maybe there was still room for the blood tank? However, after staring at the status bar for a long time to make sure his eyes weren't spent, he came to the astonishing conclusion that the player was dead in the game!
"But...... Players who die in the wild should be sent back by the system and should be resurrected back to the city, not in this kind of place, right? β
Gao Ling muttered to himself.
