Chapter 6: The Burning Plains

"Enough, don't say a word!" Mu Qingsi frowned and said coldly.

"Do you want me to follow?" Su Hao looked at her very seriously.

The captain is the commander and the core of a team, and whether a team can exert its strength depends on the commander's command level.

In the virtual holographic game, although he is strong, he is not a qualified commander, and there are other people in charge of team command, and he is only responsible for giving full play to his strong strength.

"Zhou Yao is my friend's sister, and I apologize to you for her previous rudeness. What she just said is indeed a bit excessive, please forgive me. She has fallen out of love in the past two days, so her sister asked me to take her to relax and relax, please understand. ”

Mu Qingsi bowed her head slightly and apologized, while Zhou Yao snorted coldly, turned her head and didn't say anything.

"No need to apologize, I don't mind too much." In the face of Mu Qingsi's sincere apology, Su Mo naturally would not continue to blame the other party, which was really undignified.

But he already has a strong intention in his heart, and he really wants to leave, after all, there are three girls in this team, and they can be called beauties, maybe there will be some "flower messengers".

However, he sighed in his heart, and did not leave there, for the happiness of his dead friend, he should be a little aggrieved - although he didn't believe that his dead friend could soak in this beautiful captain.

After a short but heated argument, the team finally set off and headed south to the outskirts of the city.

Generally speaking, the city is full of traffic, and most of the secret places and adventure places are naturally not located in the city, and most of them are in sparsely populated suburbs or countryside, or even uninhabited barren mountains and mountains.

With the development of society, the original individual farming in China has long been transformed into large-scale mechanized farms, and the villages that have been handed down since ancient times have basically disappeared from the land, and they have entered the cities or created new towns.

Nowadays, food science and technology are extremely advanced, and less than one-tenth of the original land is enough to feed hundreds of millions of people, so much land has been returned to forests, grasslands, and lakes.

With the strong support of the government, the game has already reached an agreement with countless farms, and the whole country is the game map, and other countries are not bad.

Coupled with all kinds of secret realms, abysses, celestial realms, etc., the total area of the game map is roughly estimated to be more than 100 times the area of the earth!

Not to mention these for the time being, after the group of five people came to the outskirts of the city, the scenery in front of them had already undergone earth-shaking changes, one of the four super maps around Shangdu - Burning Plains!

I saw that the sun hung dimly in the lead-gray sky, and the ground not far away was flowing with red magma, puffs of black smoke drifted away, and the pungent sulfur smell came to the face, choking several people to show discomfort.

Two steep hills rise with a narrow path in between, and a small outpost is set up at the junction.

When several people came to the outpost, a middle-aged man with a dark face greeted him, and said with a warm smile as he walked, "You are adventurers sent by the temple, right?" ”

"Hello, follow the will of the gods and come to solve your problems." Mu Qingsi, as the captain, naturally walked over, put one hand on his chest, and said with a serious expression.

"But I'm looking forward to you, and we don't know what to do if you don't come again." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Hao looked at him curiously, and saw that he was dressed in shabby chain armor, with a scruffy beard, his eyes were full of blood, and his face was full of tiredness, and it seemed that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

There is not the slightest falsehood in every move, and it is more real than acting in a movie. He couldn't help but be amazed, just a guy who played tricks was so realistic, could it really be that countless staff members played these NPCs in person?

"Can you tell us about the specific mission?" Mu Qingsi asked softly.

"Of course, please come in and talk about it." The man invited him, and several people followed him into the outpost without hesitation.

A sunstone hung from the roof, illuminating the extremely dry room, and also allowing them to realize that there were already several people inside.

These people should be middle-aged men's subordinates when they look at the uniform costumes, but they seem to have suffered some kind of injury, and they all sat there in a state of malaise, and they all breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw Su Hao and his party come in.

Su Hao saw that there was something covered with a gray cloth in the corner of the wall, and he could easily realize from the outline that it should be a corpse.

The man saw his gaze and sighed heavily, "This is located at the very edge of the Burning Plains, and it is not a big problem for some monsters such as fire beetles, fire scorpions, and flame dogs to come over in normal times. Just the day before yesterday, a nearby village was attacked by monsters, and when we arrived......"

"What happened?" Mu Qingsi answered at the right time.

"Hundreds of people in the entire village died, and not a single body survived! And that's not all, you see—"

He looked around restlessly, and several of his young subordinates also had frightened expressions on their faces.

Then, he walked over and lifted the gray cloth, revealing what was hidden underneath.

Su Hao and the others were taken aback, because it was a real corpse, and it had not undergone any modification or mosaic treatment, so a human corpse was placed in front of several people!

Some gray faces, eyes wide open, one hand on the throat, the other hand on the chest as if trying to grasp something, the struggle before death made several people's hearts furious.

"Ah, that's scary!" Zhou Yao shouted in horror, and quickly retreated backwards and hid behind several people.

The white-robed girl who had been silent all the way also turned pale and looked away.

To Su Hao's surprise, Mu Qingsi, a girl, walked over, squatted down next to the corpse, put on a glove, and opened the corpse's clothes to examine it carefully.

He couldn't help but look at his dead friend suspiciously, Li Shi spread his hand a little helplessly and whispered: "She is a ...... studying medicine."

Well, the girl who studied medicine is really amazing!

Su Hao thought that he was bold enough, but he still didn't look at it enough in front of the other party, at least he didn't dare to look at the corpse like this.

After a while, Mu Qingsi stood up and asked with a calm face, "Please describe the situation that day carefully." ”

"Okay, after the expedition came back that day, it was no different from usual. Stone...... This is the victim, he went out to urinate after his shift, and then he lay down to sleep. At night I seemed to hear something whispering from all directions, but I didn't understand a word. Soon he regained his composure, which made me lie down and sleep thinking it was a hallucination, and then the next day I found out and found out - he was dead! ”

The man, a battle-hardened warrior, seemed so frightened at this time.

As the saying goes, the unknown is the most terrifying, and quietly taking the lives of those around him is naturally far more devastating than being killed by a monster in a head-on battle.

After he finished speaking, Su Hao's heart moved and couldn't help blurting out: "It must be a demon!" ”

"How do you know?" Mu Qingsi looked at him in surprise.

As a temple priest, she could already feel the dark and chaotic power that remained on the corpse, and the inquiry she had just asked was just to determine what she was thinking.

In contrast, a magician who was obviously dressed as a rookie could see it, which made her very curious.
