Looking at the grassland that had fallen silent, my mood slowly returned to calm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The hill had partially collapsed, and the original hole had sunk and been completely blocked.

I searched around the cave to no avail.

Now I am in a more awkward, or helpless situation.

If I don't re-enter the cave, I don't know if Elise is still alive.

But now I can't even get into this cave.

Even if I could get in, I wouldn't be able to deal with the monsters and the environment, and I can still remember the helplessness of being consumed by the black.

So, in the end, the problem came back to square one.

Can an NPC be resurrected after death?

In the end, I decided to find a helper and improve my own strength by the way.

Since there are NPCs like her in the vicinity, it is impossible that there are no other towns or settlements.

By the way, I remember her personal attribute, with the name 'Gear City' written on it.

That's right, the goal is clear, and the next thing is to find the place of Gear City.

In the end, we have to keep going.

The height of the grass gradually decreases.

It feels like the terrain is becoming deserted.

Sometimes I wonder if I'll be able to reach my destination in such a directionless hurry, after all, I don't even know where that gear city is.

When I opened the map, there was still no name for the area, and the only roads I had walked showed were the ones I had walked.

There is no way, so I can only continue to go.

"Smack." It looks like it's kicked something, it's round.

I glanced at it subconsciously.

It's a skull.

And it's a human skull.

If you think about it, it's not surprising to see a skull in the middle of such a desert.

So I didn't pay much attention to it, and I kept going.

"Smack." Within two minutes, I kicked something again.

Another skull.

If you think about it a little, maybe it was two people who went together, and then one abandoned the other, but was eaten by wild beasts on the way.

Well, let's move on.

"Smack." Another one.

You don't have to look at it to know it's a skull, and after kicking it so many times, you can feel it with your feet.

"Smack." Then another one.

If you think about it a little, something must have happened here.

What a big deal.

Where I am standing now is a higher area, and in front of me is a fault in the high ground.

As I approached the fault, I was greeted by a view of the high ground.

The bones are all over the field, and the forest is clear.

It's a graveyard.

I quickly ran down from the high ground to inspect this large mass burial tomb that had been born out of accident.

Most of the skeletons have been scattered, only a few still have whole corpses, and there are not only human skeletons here, but also animal ones.

The animal skeletons were mostly horses, and there were some debris and some wood at the site.

It could have been a convoy, and the skulls on the high ground could have been the bodies of people who had escaped.

Why did they run, and what happened to them?

And one thing is very suspicious.

I crouched down and picked up a piece of wood, and there was an iron plaque nailed to the wood, and I couldn't read what was written.

The wood looks very new, as if it has just come out of the lumber factory. The same is true for iron sheets, which have no signs of rust at all.

But...... The surrounding corpses have all been reduced to white bones, why are the wood and iron not rotting?

I didn't know if Eagle Eye had any effect, so I tried to look at the bones.

【Human Bones】

Nothing else.

It seems that there is no more information to be gleaned from the corpses.

I looked at the sky.

It's nightfall again, and I'm going to have to get out of this place quickly, I can't stand spending the night in the graveyard.

I leaned against the edge of a hill and watched the night go down in the distance.

Let's just hope this hillock isn't the lair of some strange creature.

I don't want to be killed in the middle of my sleep by a scorpion or a snake.

After all, my resurrection point is still in the Long Night Tribe.

Speaking of the setting that the non-safe zone can't be offline, which person with a brain problem came up with it.

It's completely destroying the spirit of an AI like me.

It's really troublesome, and you have to be afraid to sleep in the wild.

But in the end, it's because I'm too weak.

Alas.

Tilt your head and watch the stars twinkle in the distance.

Are the stars a little brighter today?

The flickering frequency is also much more frequent than before.

…… Wait a minute, it doesn't seem like a star.

It's fireworks.

Fireworks are usually only set off when you are celebrating, but is it a holiday today?

But no matter what holiday it's celebrated, it proves at least one thing.

There must be a settlement where the fireworks are set off!

Looks like I've finally found town.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Seeing the silhouette of the town not far away, which was already fully visible, I finally relaxed a little.

In the past two days, because of Elise's matter, my spirit has been very tense.

I was a little surprised to hear the sounds coming from the town.

Did they know I was coming? And greeted me so loudly.

The fireworks are still burning in the sky over the town, shining as brightly as day.

"What kind of festival is it...... The fireworks have been set off for so long. I muttered to myself and continued my journey towards town.

There was a flickering fire on the walls of the town, which appeared to be guards patrolling at night

It looks like a normal settlement, and maybe you can find players here.

I got a little excited.

"Whoosh."

An arrow flew past my ear.

"Shoot the arrows! They're in range! Hurry up and release the arrows! "A loud voice rang out, sounding like the same person who had just shouted 'Coming'.

Well? Arrows?

"Hey! If you have something to say, don't let go of the arrow if you don't agree! "I shouted loudly, hoping that words would be a powerful weapon at this time.

"Stop! There are living people! Stop firing arrows! ”

It actually worked, I snickered.

Wait a minute, the living?

It dawned on me as if I was focusing on the wrong focus.

The point of that sentence is not to release the arrows, but to 'them'.

Who are 'they'?

I couldn't help but glance back.

That's an army.

And it is clear that the soldiers who make up this army are special, and they are all rotting humanoids.

It was a mass grave just now, and now it's this again, and this place doesn't look peaceful.

At a cursory glance, I found that there were actually some acquaintances in the army.

Plague Shadow Level 7100/100

Shadow of Dread Level 692/92

Shadow of Confusion level 798/98

The black mist mingled among the carrion, moving slowly as they went.

Big brother, fate.

"Come here!" The voice on the walls called out to me.

I picked up my speed and ran as fast as I could into town, occasionally looking back to peek behind me.

Overhead, the fireworks were as brilliant as day, and behind me was the pitch black of the sea of corpses, and when I glanced at them from a distance, they seemed to stretch out in front of my eyes like the horizon.

When I was about to run to the bottom of the city, the man gave the order to start firing arrows.

I took the rope ladder thrown down from the city and climbed up two or three times.

The scenery above is really beyond the comprehension below.

The person who shouted at me earlier was the man who had just lowered the rope ladder at me, and he looked like a leader, with a majestic spirit, wearing a slightly heavy cloth armor, and only his face was exposed.

And all the defenders around him, and even on the city wall, were dressed the same.

Soldiers held torches aloft, flanked by their comrades who were raining arrows, and the city was wailing.

I looked into the city, and found that there were no lights on every house, but the doors were closed, and there was a dead silence.

And I used to think that the so-called festive fireworks were done by the soldiers in the city.

They kept bringing boxes of fireworks and firing them across the city, exploding a burst of sparks.

The inside of the city and the inside of the city are completely two worlds.

"Hello." The man came over and said hello to me.

"I'm the captain of the Self-Defense Forces in Jianliang Town, you can call me Xie Yan."

I also returned the salute, "I'm a passing traveler, my name is Edge Long Night, thank you for your help." ”

"Where." He smiled bitterly, "As you can see, we can't help you with anything right now, but it would be great if you were willing to join us in resisting them now, thanks a thousand times." ”

"Give me the arrows! There aren't enough arrows! ”

"You take down and raise your torch, I'll shoot an arrow!" The shouts of the soldiers in my ears were incessant.

I nodded immediately, "If it's just archery, I should be fine, do I have any extra bows and arrows?" ”

I don't know exactly what's going on in this place, but it's always right to help them in a situation like this.

I took the bow and arrow and thanked Xie Yan, and looked at the black tide not far from the city.

As a forest ranger, it should be natural for you to know how to shoot arrows.

I've only ever thrown knives, though.

With all the arrows in the Crescent Moon Quiver, the 15% shot bonus cannot be easily discarded.

Take the arrow out, open the bow, string it, get out of your hand, and you don't even need to aim.

Anyway, I don't believe that shooting an arrow at such a black and oppressive piece can shoot into the air.

Probably a professional instinct, I could clearly feel the arrow hit its target, and then it slowly fell to the ground, trampled by the carrion behind it, and finally slowly submerged in the dirt.

Honestly, it feels surprisingly good.

[Level up, current level is 5]

Killing two more carrions, I managed to move up one level.

Sure enough, the monsters that can fight provide much more experience than wild animals, and they used to kill a lot of antelopes with flash blades on the grassland to reach level 4, and now a few carrion corpses have been upgraded to level 5.

However, if you keep shooting with your bow and arrows without resting, you will soon get tired. That's when you'll discover how powerful they are.

Although these monsters are easy to deal with, they are not to be underestimated.

They move slowly and falter though.

They are mutilated and fragile.

But they don't feel pain, they are so numerous, one falls, and those behind rush to the front.

Therefore, no matter how hard these soldiers tried, they still couldn't stop their advance.

However, thanks to the strength of the city defenses, all they could do was to surround the city and scratch the bricks.

And judging from their actions, it is estimated that they will not have the IQ to climb up with Arhats.

After all, their brains have long been rotten.

"Oil drums!" Xie Yan shouted.

Some soldiers quickly carried barrels to the wall.

Then they lifted the barrel and threw it down the city.

Aside from everything else, the barrel alone has extremely high lethality, and when the barrel falls, several rotting corpses are instantly smashed apart, and the broken corpse pieces are splashed apart, and the visual effect is shocking.

The barrels kept falling, and the water splashed like a pond of stones thrown into the castle, accompanied by the waves that were spreading.

"Report, throw it all down!" A strong man in charge of throwing a barrel shouted.

Xie Yan nodded, "Very good, 3 teams, 5 teams, throw torches!" Team 7, stop the fireworks! ”

The moment the command was given, all the soldiers with torches around me threw their torches downward, and dozens of torches made a dazzling arc in the air.

At the same time, the other side poured a basin of water directly on the fireworks that were being launched, leaving only the last fading fireworks in the air.

The next moment the fireworks faded, the city was in flames.

At this moment, the originally brightly lit city was silent and disappeared into darkness.

And under the city, it has become another feast of fireworks.
