Twin cities.

It is located in the eastern part of the North and South continents.

It is the meeting point between the southern and northern continents, and it is also the bridgehead for the confrontation between the dwarven kingdom and the apostolic kingdom.

As the largest city in the eastern part of the Apostolic Kingdom, it is home to a large number of Apostolic troops, NPCs, and players.

The more people there are, the more information is exchanged, and it is possible to gather a lot of information here.

Because of the game setting, the currencies of the major forces are unified gold, silver and copper. Shen Fei and his entourage landed at night a hundred miles away from the Twin Cities, and used the Fraud Orb to transform themselves into apostles.

What's even more annoying is that after using the Orb of Deception, you can also name the new Apostle.

Shen Fei and the others simply disguised themselves as wealthy businessmen who had come to the Twin Cities from other places to purchase.

Fuman's true colors starred, he was Shen Fei's servant who ran errands before and after, the dragon cub pretended to be Shen Fei's daughter, and the fat tiger changed his clothes to be a big housekeeper, and even the match was transformed by Shen Fei and turned into a big dog.

The city on the apostolic side of the Twin Cities is called "Twilight Star", and the dwarven city twenty miles away is called "Huixing", and the name also has a feeling of love and killing.

Shen Fei and his entourage entered the city smoothly. Just like the holy city of mankind, the city of Twilight is bustling with people.

After all, twenty miles away is the territory of the dwarves, and every night when the tide recedes, the only natural barrier between the two cities disappears, and the sea surface of twenty miles becomes a shoal, and at this time, many players or NPCs come out to collect resources in the shallows.

The Twin Cities are home to a special ore resource that is only found in the deep sea, and comes to the strait with ocean currents.

After the tide recedes, it runs aground on the tidal flats and glows like stars in the moonlight. The apostles called it "Twilight Star", and the dwarves used to call it "Bright Star", which is also the origin of the names of the two cities.

This scarce ore resource is also found in the stomach of fish and shrimp, which are dissected and extracted in trace amounts of mineral elements by centrifugation technology.

Of course, if there is a role to be said for this ore, it is that it contains a huge amount of arcane energy.

Therefore, every night, a large number of players and NPCs in Twilight City and Bright Star City will come out to occupy as large a chassis as possible, obtain a large amount of ore resources, and then return to the city in exchange for rewards.

Every night, there is such a carnival feast in the Twin Cities.

Some people get a lot of prestige and gold rewards because they dig up high-quality ores, and then become compradors in the market to strengthen themselves, and after coming out of the auction house and the market, they become powerful players.

There are also some powerful players with excellent equipment skills, who were targeted and beaten in the shallow combat, not to mention that they didn't get the ore, and they also blew up their equipment, and became a low-level player overnight, and they started over.

Shen Fei also saw this kind of ore in the market, and he was still a fat tiger-eyed housekeeper, and he immediately saw the origin of this energy ore.

"Master, this ore should be the Arcane Ore on the Night Elf Island, eighty percent because the Eternal Water has infiltrated into the ground, causing the Elf Island Underground Ore to absorb the arcane energy and mutate, and then it will fall off through the waves and follow the ocean current to the Twin Cities."

Fat Tiger's mana invades the night elves' arcane defenses, so this energy is all too clear.

In addition, the arcane energy of the Eternal Water is unique, and it is impossible to confuse it with other energies.

Shen Fei knew that he had planned to mix the ore before, but since he knew that it was the product of the night elves, there was no need.

"Master, how are we going to investigate now?" Fat Tiger asked, the scale of this Twin Cities was far beyond the imagination of several people. Although there will be more information exchange in such a large city, it will also be more difficult to collect and screen information in disguise.

"If you are blessed, you will go around the city by yourself to collect information, and Fat Tiger and I will be in the hotel, issuing tasks as NPCs, and collecting some useful information through the tasks."

Shen Fei has to grasp it with both hands, and both hands must be hard!

Without further ado, Shen Fei and Fuman immediately began to execute as planned.

For Fuman's luck, no one is unconvinced now, this guy is the one who opens the eight-digit password of the Grand Commander with his eyes closed, and it is estimated that this array of Grand Commanders is still in a daze, and he doesn't know how an alien human opened his mechanical password door.

Maybe Fuman walked around the streets, and he could really find some big news.

Shen Fei was in the hotel with the others and issued a mission.

There are a lot of Apostle players in Twilight City, as there is a big battle in the shallows every night, resulting in a large number of players gathering here.

Since there is a battle, then there must be a large number of blacksmiths, apothecaries, mining and other life players, these players' footprints are almost all over the game, after all, the battle takes place in the concentrated shallows, but if you want to collect ores and medicinal materials, you must go deep into the wilderness, and they will also have more information.

It was an uneventful day.

In a small shop in Twilight City, there is suddenly an NPC who has issued a quest, and this NPC's task is extremely simple, just tell him what strange things have happened in the Apostle Kingdom recently, and he can get a reward of 50 silver coins.

For the Apostle players of Twilight Star City who worked hard to help the crazy men and women in the south and north of the city deliver tokens and love letters, and only after running back and forth four or five times can they get a reward of 10 silver coins, this task is simply a gift for nothing!

Although the currency exchange is now open, 50 silver coins is not much, but why not take the money for nothing?

Spread the word for ten or hundred, and soon the news spread throughout Twilight Star City.

It's daytime, and most of the players have nothing to do, and when they hear that they have taken the money for nothing, they all rush over. But when the news arrived, it was found that the players in line were already hundreds of meters away, and even some NPCs who often went out were obediently waiting in line to submit exclusive information.

Players need money, and NPCs need money to get by!

Shen Fei sat in his seat and was in charge of entertaining, and Fat Hu, as the temporary "secretary", recorded all the news.

However, not everyone can get money for this task, and some messages that have been repeated, Shen Fei can only express regret and ask them to ask them back.

Rao is like this, in half a day, Fat Tiger has densely recorded more than 10,000 pieces of information without repetition.

"It only took more than 5,000 gold coins to get this news, and this wave is not a loss."

Fat Tiger looked at the full amount of news and sighed: "These are not only abnormal news in various places, but also with information about the number of troops stationed in various places, or resource reserves, and I will use statistics to integrate these data tonight and load them on your map as patches, which is clear at a glance." ”

There is such a pet as Fat Tiger who is proficient in hacking technology, which is really a lot of aspects.

This is equivalent to everyone using the same system, and Shen Fei can also play enhanced patches here, and even open "auxiliary software".

Later in the evening, Fuman also returned from outside.

"Fuman, have you gained anything outside today?"

Because of Shen Fei's large-scale reward news today, all the people who had the news gathered at the hotel to line up to sell the news, and Fuman outside didn't have much to gain.

Fuman scratched his head, and said with some frustration: "Today, all the people who have news outside have come to the hotel, and I didn't find any news outside, and finally I only found a useful message." Fuman said as he took out his notepad from his pocket and read the news he had gotten at a glance.

"In the central region of the Apostolic Continent, earthquakes have occurred frequently in the past decade, causing the plate to tear apart and change the terrain. The originally fertile inland rivers quickly dried up, the terrain was sunken to form a unique stone forest landscape, and strange huge arthropods and wind tunnels appeared underground. The species of organisms have also changed, and most of them are insect swarms, crystalline lizards, and desert spiders......"

Fuman also showed several people the drawings on the small notebook.

"These are all drawn by the merchants who pass by according to their memories, and in terms of time and place, I feel that this place is a little strange."

There is also a planet pattern drawn by Fuman next to it, and from this location to the south, south, north, west, and northwest, extending to the entire planet, you can clearly find the location of this thousand-needle stone forest, which is exactly at the place of the planet's navel.

Others don't know what a few tens of meters tall arthropods are, but Shen Fei understands!

As an earthling, these elements are properly characteristic of the ancient gods.

After Shen Fei reacted, he looked at Fat Tiger with a wry smile: "It seems that our hard work today has been in vain, and more than 5,000 gold coins have also been wasted." ”

Fat Tiger shrugged helplessly, who is the protagonist in the end! Both it and Shen Fei have collected information on a large scale, but the results are not as efficient as they are full.

Fat Tiger glanced at the 10,000 pieces of information recorded in his notebook again, and found that it didn't seem to be as obvious as Fuman's information.

Shen Fei didn't procrastinate, and simply ordered: "Since this news of Fuman is the most suspicious now, then we will go to this Thousand Needles Stone Forest tomorrow to investigate, if not to search other suspicious places." As for the information you have gathered, it is still summarized and of great use to us. ”

In this strange place of the Apostle Continent, it is no better than the Northern Continent. It doesn't hurt to have a little more intelligence.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, as soon as the sky was white, Shen Fei and the others checked out and left Dusk Star City, all the way to the west.

It wasn't until she walked dozens of kilometers that Xia turned into a dragon and flew towards the rising sun.

An early riser in Twilight City saw a behemoth flying in the direction of the sun, but when he brought the others to share with him, he didn't see anything.

Fat Tiger put a light transmission spell on Thea so that the others could not see the behemoth in the sky.

"I've compiled all of yesterday's information and made it into an expansion pack and loaded it into your map, you can take a look."

Shen Fei opened the system map and saw that many places on the Apostle map with the fog of war had all been opened. In addition, what resources, strongholds, and even troops are all written clearly in this place. The location of the world boss, drop information, everything.

"It seems that these five thousand gold coins are not in vain, so perfect map information, why can it save a lot of trouble."

At the same time, Shen Fei also noticed that there was a gathering point of the apostles in the plain, which was fifty miles away from the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, the destination of their trip.

Originally, it was the site of a dam in the lower reaches of the Inland Sea, but after the geological changes ten years ago, the Inland Sea was depleted, forming a Thousand Needles Stone Forest, and it was transformed into an oil gathering point, and the apostle workers and passing merchants gradually formed a small town with a high level of mobility, and a garrison.

"There's a Thousand Needles Stone Forest ahead." Fuman pointed to the place below the sunken horizon not far away, where there are towering "cylinders" everywhere, which is one of the major features of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest - the Stone Forest. A unique beauty formed after severe geological changes.

In addition, Shen Fei also saw a lot of huge arthropods at an altitude of thousands of meters.

These arthropods are like dead spiders buried in the earth, with only the arthropods exposed. There are many tens of meters of huge arthropods, and they are even vibrating rhythmically, giving people the feeling that they are not completely dead.

"What kind of prehistoric creature is this arthropod, and it can be so big......"

Shen Fei swept it away, and these exposed arthropods were dozens of meters tall and several meters high.

The same thing is that these limbs are shaking irregularly.

It looks like it's not a single arthropod, it's a lot......

Shen Fei also saw in the air that there was a black circular sphere in the middle of the largest arthropod.

"Thea, let's land nearby, be careful not to get too close to those arthropods." Shen Fei wasn't sure if these things were alive or dead, so it was important to stay away and protect himself.

"Do you need me to take a bite of dragon breath to clear the field first?"

"Forget it, let's land first, don't startle the snake."

Everyone fell on the Gobi Desert in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, and the surrounding scene became even more treacherous.

The wind roars, as well as various insects and swarms, which are extremely aggressive. As soon as Shen Fei and the others landed, they swarmed up, only to be slapped by the fat tiger and exhaled the power of thunder, and they were all roasted into charcoal.

Shen Fei took a look at the Gobi and found that there were many white bones of apostles and animals on the ground, and many of them maintained the pictures of the last struggle before their deaths, and it seemed that they all died at the hands of these swarms.

When Shen Fei approached the largest arthropod and reached out to touch it, he found that it was as hard as a rock.

As for the black ball in the center, it is even more suspicious, the surface is oily and shiny, and it does not look like it is naturally formed at all.

Shen Fei leaned in and tapped on his ear, wanting to hear if this thing was hollow.

At this moment, the black sphere suddenly and slowly opened a gap, revealing a golden vertical pupil!

Shen Fei got closer, and he still tilted his head sideways, so he didn't see it at all. But the fat tiger and Xia in the back all gasped, Fuman was simply stunned with fright, and Qi also hid behind the fat tiger with small steps.

Such a big black ball, it turned out to be a - big eyeballs!

Fat Tiger and Xia looked at each other, and their eyes kept colliding with sparks.

If Shen Fei was told this, he would definitely startle the snake. But if you don't say it, this scene is too exciting now!

Fat Tiger gave Thea a look, Thea was stunned and blinked, and finally nodded weakly.

Rumble!

Just as Shen Fei was still tapping, he suddenly heard a violent sonic boom behind him, which was the explosion sound of the air expanding instantly after being ignited by the high temperature.

Then Shen Fei felt like he was melting.

Don't be surprised, this immersive online game "Big Time", which is known as the second world, is in the form of accidental injury......

After all, standing under the Dragon Breath Technique, if it was unscathed, it would be too discordant.

But fortunately, Shen Fei has the resurrection effect of the Heart of Holy Light, and he will be resurrected in a blink of an eye. As for the big eyeballs in front of him, they have disappeared.

Shen Fei was just about to question, but he saw that the place where the original big eyes were originally empty was empty, but a staircase secret passage appeared on the ground, leading to the underground, and there was a faint flash of fire.

Shen Fei involuntarily walked in, and Fat Tiger, Xia Ya, and Fuman also hurriedly followed.

Everyone felt that they were getting closer and closer to the truth......
