The wheels of history slowly roll forward, but a small pebble often becomes an important link. It is this link that is likely to change the direction of the entire history. Just like Qing Chi's original fate, the soul that died because of the obsession of revenge traveled to another time and space, completely changing the original fate of the Bai family.

Will the southern continent continue to be locked down like this? Is there any way to open the passage from the inside or enter from the outside? The game official did not give a clear answer. However, everyone knows that if the Holy Bishop Saiga really summons the Demon King back to the Destiny Continent, the whole game will not be far from over.

In this era, there are no characters like the elf king Aran and the king of the east Jon hundreds of years ago, only the dying Hal and others, not to mention that players who are generally more than level 80 can fight against the demon king now. Even any demon god is difficult for players to deal with.

Due to the infiltration of demonic energy, the continent lost its original vitality, and many places became scorched earth. Even the Lovers' Treasure Land Flower Plains are now a withered grass. Qing Chi pinched his sore arm, erected his quiver, sat on the withered yellow grass, and took out a piece of black bread from his backpack. Food has become more and more scarce, and the rabbits have been demonized, apparently no longer eating. The war in reality is just that, and the war in the game also brings ecological destruction, which is simply excessive. Qing Chi took a bite of the black bread hatefully, extremely nostalgic for the roasted rabbit leg, remembered the genius game designer, and couldn't help but scold: "Abominable Fang Yao!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you're scolding me?" A mage trumpet of more than 20 levels suddenly appeared beside Qing Chi. Qing Chi was startled by the visitor, and the bread in her mouth almost choked her to death.

"I was so surprised to see it. Are you feeling better? The chip I gave you should work. Fang Yao smiled slightly and sat next to Qing Chi. Qing Chi nodded: "I've been feeling better lately." Qing Chi glanced at his somewhat pale face, remembering the blood he coughed up at the last offline meeting, and it could be seen that he had been sick for a long time. moved his lips, wanting to say something, but finally held back.

Fang Yao took out a rabbit leg from his backpack like a trick and handed it to Qing Chi: "Eat this." Qing Chi hesitated, but still took it. Although eating in the game does not really fill your stomach in reality, and only increases your stamina in the game, the game compartment connects the nerves of the brain and can simulate the stimulation of various sensations, including taste. If he has the ability, Qing Chi certainly doesn't mind satisfying his appetite.

"You're here for more than just bringing me food, aren't you?" Qing Chi unceremoniously finished eating the rabbit legs, and then lay crooked on the grass. From beginning to end, Fang Yao quietly watched her eat, with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his eyes. After a long time, Fang Yao replied affirmatively, his gaze passed through Qing Chi's face, as if projected far away: "Qing Chi, let me ask you, do you want to stay in this Heavenly Destiny World?" Or would you like it to be destroyed? Qing Chi glanced sideways slightly, and replied with great certainty: "No matter how many times you ask me, I will not see the destruction of the Heavenly Mandate Continent. This game has so much meaning to me. ”

Fang Yao's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and then a hint of a smile. "That's fine. The game of Destiny is no longer under my control, and the mastermind, Eve, will fix the program herself, and I, together with X, control some parts of the game system. But now my authority is being snatched away little by little, of course, I won't wait for death, he doesn't know at all, I have buried a dark line in some places. Fang Yao's tone suddenly became short, and he coughed violently a few times, as if he couldn't breathe. Qing Chi's heart tightened, but he saw that Fang Yao had already embraced her into his arms, as if he had hugged a life-saving straw, greedy for the last warmth. Qing Chi's body was a little stiff, sensing Qing Chi's discomfort, Fang Yao took a deep breath and showed a faint smile: "Don't be nervous...... Think of it as a deal. ”

"What deal?" Qing Chi's tone instantly cooled, and his mind quickly became much calmer. Fang Yao looked at her appearance, a little helpless, stretched out his hand and rubbed Qing Chi's nose, a little funny: "It's like your temperament." As soon as I hear about the deal, I sometimes really doubt that your heart is made of stone. ”

Qing Chi rolled his eyes at him. Fang Yao restrained his smile, and his tone became much more serious. "According to X's plan, he wants to revive the Demon King and destroy the Destiny Continent. I don't know exactly what he's trying to do, but I've found out that he's secretly collecting a lot of information about you, so be careful. The southern continent has now been completely locked down according to the progress of the game, and it is like an iron bucket that cannot be entered or exited. But there are loopholes in everything, there are bugs in the game program, there is a Huangdong village in the eastern continent, and there is a woman in it. If you complete that quest, you can get an item that will open the passage to the southern continent. ”

Qing Chi glanced at Fang Yao with some surprise: "This is one of the dark lines you have buried a long time ago?" Fang Yao narrowed his eyes, and his tone revealed a slight conceit: "I have long thought of all the possibilities of cooperating with X, and it is not surprising that I have a backhand." Now all I can rely on is what I left behind, and now my every move will be noticed by him, and he can't make a lot of changes. And I can't stay in the game too long to be noticed. ”

After finishing speaking, Fang Yao stood up and glanced at Qing Chi deeply, "I'm sure you won't let me down." Then he vanished as if he had never appeared.

Qing Chi was stunned, a smile slowly bloomed at the corner of his mouth, sometimes, Fang Yao's unintentional emotions were precisely unloaded from the heart, making people not so annoying. Isn't it time for her to change her prejudice against him?

Cheering up, Qingchi returned to Thorn City. For the past week, Knight Daniel has led his army into the city to purge the NPC army in front of the City Lord of Thorns. The Lord of Thorns, who rebelled under the spell of the Demon God, eventually died at the hands of Daniel's sword. But Daniel gave up plundering Thorn City and became the lord of the city himself, and he couldn't forgive himself for killing his wife, Messi, even if it wasn't his intention. Daniel, the "traitor to Iron Helm", had nowhere else to go, so he decided to lead his army to garrison west of Thorn City to resist the attacking army of the undead.

The situation in the city has stabilized a little. In such a chaotic situation, even the NPCs in the city are polite to adventurers, after all, one more adventurer is safer.

Strangely, there is no information about the swamp village on the map. Since it was Fang Yao's backhand, it must not be obvious to mark it on the general map. Qing Chi rummaged through the library of Thorn City for a long time, and finally found an old map of the Eastern Continent, and found a small village in an inconspicuous place near the Southern Continent.
