Although it is said to be a small sacrificial hall inside an underground building, the style of "Endless" is large, whether it is the game map or the architectural style, it is almost infinitely large.

The entire map of "Endless" seems to be set on the entire planet, and the area of countries and towns inside it is unimaginable, just the Duchy of Andele, the five human countries on the Kovarare continent, and Fairhaven City, the smallest country in terms of land area, can accommodate nearly 10 million NPC aborigines and 20 million or 30 million players.

Of course, this is a vague statement, these 30 or 40 million people, in fact, include the rural areas around Fairhaven City, and the population of lower-level cities and towns, but a city in the context of the Middle Ages, can accommodate so many people, itself is unreasonable, in reality of high-tech cities, I am afraid can not accommodate such a large population.

However, this "unreasonableness" is blurred by the core consciousness god, and the architectural means in the fantasy background are used to rationalize the sense of disobedience of such a huge city.

Even so, it can be imagined how huge the entire world of "Endless" is, in order to accommodate the number of players in the era of "everyone is traveling", "Endless" does not use the traditional online game multi-server means, but breaks through the surname to use the "planet-level map" to solve the problem of player population, which forces the map area in the game to be very exaggerated and amazing.

Under the premise of no teleportation and fast movement, it is difficult for the vast majority of players to get out of the place where they were born too far, which is also criticized by players, such a huge map, from the inside of the city that can accommodate 30 or 40 million people, to go outside the city is a very terrible Long March-style journey, let alone the vast land behind the city.

This is also the reason why the carriage industry in "Endless" is so prosperous, because without carriage transportation, players are simply unable to move an inch in the game, and the fact that the transportation relies on the legs has made the official suffer the curse of countless players.

But the official "Endless" surprisingly withstood the fire without any changes and explanations, which also made players speculate whether there was actually a more convenient and faster means of transportation in the game, but they didn't find it, or simply this setting was the official foreshadowing.

Some players suspect that after the official opening of the game, the official "Endless" will not be able to change the settings in the game at all, and can only watch the world of "Endless" develop on its own

The unreasonable setting in "Endless" is not only "traffic by legs", but also a big problem that has been scolded by players for a long time, "communication by mouth" is also a big problem, players in the game in addition to the mercenary guild, or "post office" and other places, to be assigned to different trial islands, and after leaving the island to be teleported to different regions of friends to write letters, there is no means of contact in the game.

This makes I don't know how many game guilds, game families and other player forces are angry, this kind of setting, all their huge personnel advantages are scattered, so that the power of those large game guilds and game families, is forcibly suppressed to a level similar to ordinary casual players, casual players and those small player groups, but very satisfied with this setting.

There are many similar situations, whether players understand it or not, accept it or not, the official is adamant not to make any changes, but this is enough to show that the "planet-level map" world of "Endless" is quite real, and even larger than the "map" of the real world.

This kind of bigness is reflected in every corner of the game, and even some game maps with regional surnames are also big and make people weak, such as the ruins of the underground temple that Wutong has experienced, [Dallas Cui Fan], the goblin tribe, and the geome alchemy laboratory where he is now, these maps should basically be regarded as "copy maps" in traditional online games, but they are also huge and difficult for players to explore in a short time.

This is also the difference between "Endless" and other traditional online games, for now, Wutong has not found the kind of "dimensional space" map outside the main space of the game in the traditional online game in "Endless" (that is, the same map, but there are multiple groups of players can enter at the same time, but they can't touch each other inside the map.) In this way, players have no way to rely on "brushing copies" to quickly collect money and obtain high-level equipment, and can only obtain rare items by clearing the ruins, but the ruins, even the smallest, are very difficult, and they are not just casually able to succeed in clearing the wasteland, without a little strength and luck, don't think about taking this road, will the official be stupid enough to put those good things directly in the ruins and wait for you to get them?

This alchemy laboratory in the era of the ancient goblin empire is a standard "ruin", and if you want to open up the wasteland here, even a supreme platinum master like Infinity, and a professional player like Lin Linling, currently do not have that ability.

The group of warrior apprentices in the small sacrificial hall had obviously become undead, but they were different from the undead who were not self-conscious, they seemed to have retained some of their pre-mortem instincts, such as combat skills, and they didn't seem to be as sluggish and rigid as skeletons and zombies, and they didn't know how to distinguish between situations.

Sycamore is sure that once they are alarmed, they will cooperate with each other to eliminate their own player base, and the team that has already lost several members, even if they can successfully eliminate them, I am afraid that they will also lose a lot, this is not what the players want to see, no one wants to be killed.

Because of the distance is quite far, the sneaky peeping Wutong by the door of the sacrificial hall did not attract the attention of the martial apprentices wandering in the sacrificial hall, and they have obviously become undead creatures, and their eyesight and perception range have dropped to a fairly low level.

"What should I do?"

The handsome Europa-born girl Lorenna eagerly carried her two-handed broadsword: "Let's rush over and destroy them in one go?" ”

"I doubt we can beat them!" Sycamore shook his head.

"How can you not beat it? They're just apprentice-level warriors, okay! ”

Lorenna muttered unconvinced: "There are more of us than them, and in terms of strength, the combat effectiveness of our group can be regarded as 'outstanding' among apprentice-level players, right?" ”

Maybe it's because she likes Oriental Asian American culture, when Lorenna speaks, she likes to bring a few Asian American four-word words, which is a bit similar to Europa's handsome guy AIS, but Lorenna's Asian American language is much better than the big tongue AIS.

"It's true that they were apprentices when they were alive, but don't forget, they're all undead now, and they still look like high-level undead."

Wutong pointed to the more than twenty martial arts apprentices, although there was no open flame lighting in the sacrificial hall, but there were dots of phosphorescence, and he could barely see the figure of the wandering martial apprentices: "The lowest level monster in the ruins of this alchemy laboratory is an ordinary 1st order 0 level skeleton, and the lowest wooden golem we encountered just now is also a 1st order and 20th level, how can this group of martial arts apprentices guarding the sacrificial hall be lower than the level of the wooden golem, right?" ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of at level 1 and level 20."

Lorenna still didn't understand: "The monsters we have killed are not without higher level, those [Elite Skeletons], [Broken Bone Skeletons], and [Crushing Bone Skeletons] on the [Wailing Wilderness], aren't you speculating that there are 2nd, 3rd, and 4th orders?" Although we can't defeat the later [Blazing Skeletons] and [Flame Skeletons], it shouldn't be a problem to destroy the 2nd and 3rd level monsters, right? ”

Because Lorenna was always muttering, Wutong was worried about alarming the martial apprentices in the sacrificial hall, so he could only cry and laugh and signal everyone to retreat a little: "It's just speculation, but according to the contact with those iron golems just now, I found that it doesn't seem to be the case at all!" ”

"What do you mean?"

At this moment, not only Luo Lena couldn't understand, but Lin Linling and Infinity also didn't understand the meaning of Wutong, such a strong skeleton, not to mention [Blazing Skeleton], [Flame Skeleton], even if it was [Broken Bone Skeleton] and [Grinding Bone Skeleton], in the case of heads-up, they were estimated to die more than they were, such strength, isn't it a 3rd-order or 4th-order monster?

"I thought it was!"

Wutong had to patiently analyze with them, and he pointed to the barbarians and half-orc players around him who were so fat that they fell into the sky: "Cole and Fat to the Fallen Sky, because of their racial talent, so from the time they are 'born', they are equivalent to the strength of the first order, and the starting point is higher than that of us human players."

I estimate that after the official inauguration, they may be equivalent to the second-order creatures, but as you have seen just now, the first-order 20+20+20-level Cole and them were completely abused by the Iron Golem, and their attacks did not break the defense at all, which shows that the rank suppression of the two sides is too great. ”

After a pause, Wutong looked at the players who were blinking at him: "So I suddenly reacted, the rank suppression in "Endless" limits the player's ability to skip the challenge, although I haven't tried it, but you found that no, the 0-level player attacks the 1-order player, even if it is the 0-level 20 to fight the 1-order 0-level, it will not break the defense!" Similarly, if the 1st and 20th levels play the 2nd and 0th levels, the gap will only be greater!

I remember reading in that book: 'No hard egg can break the most fragile stone.' Therefore, I estimate that in "Endless", there is no possibility of 'cross-level battle' at all, because the two sides are not on the same level at all!

Don't look at Cole, they are very good after 'transformation + madness + ferocity', but they can't break the defense of Tier 2 creatures! So, I doubt that those skeletons that seem to be very powerful are most likely just weakened versions of 'Super .1 Tier' monsters, not Tier 2 monsters! ”

The players are collectively staggered, such a powerful skeleton is not a second-order monster?

They didn't believe it, but Wutong's analysis was well-founded: "You see, Cole is the 'super .1 order' strength of '1st order 20 + 20 + 20 level', let's refer to it as '1st order 60 level', in the case of no transformation, they should be able to fight on par with those silver [broken bone skeletons] one-on-one."

As for the higher [Blazing Skeletons], you can also see that there is no way for the two sides to fight, and I, only relying on the special surname of this fire suit on my body, and the special functions of the Thunder Totem, I barely killed those [Blazing Skeletons], not relying on my own strength.

So, I suspect that the rank I had speculated on before was wrong!

These skeletons may really have higher-level strength, but the ones we encountered are obviously weakened versions, so at best, they can only be regarded as:

[Normal Skeleton]1st Tier 0 [Enhanced Skeleton]1st Tier 20 [Elite Skeleton]1st Tier 20+20 (1st Tier 40)[Bone Shattered Skeleton]1st Tier: 20+20+20 (1st Tier 60) [Grinding Bone Skeleton]1st Tier: 20×4th (1st Tier, 80th) [Blazing Skeleton]1st Tier: 20×5th (1st Tier, 100th Tier) [Advanced Blazing Skeleton]1st Tier: 20×6 (1st Tier, 120) [Flame Skull] 1st Tier: 20×7 (1st Tier, 140) [Advanced Flame Skull] 1st Tier, 20 ×Level 8 (Level 1, Level 160) [Fire Elemental Skeletron], Level 1, Level 20×9 (Level 1, Level 180)

(Note: As mentioned earlier, there are only the concepts of "order" and "level" in "Endless", but there is no concept of more than "20 levels", so the excess part is represented by "20+n", but "20+20" does not mean "40 levels", the statement in the article is just a convenient name, don't investigate!) Maybe Cole and they will be able to kill the 'Level 120' [Advanced Flame Skeleton] after they 'transform + madness + ferocity', but they themselves are estimated to be hung up, but they face a Tier 2 creature, even if it is a Tier 2 and Tier 0 creature, they can't just hang up in a face! ”

Wutong shrugged his shoulders in the face of a group of stammering players: "These are just my guesses based on what I mentioned in some books and the details I have observed before, so we think that we are very good and can carry out 'cross-level battles', but in fact, we are still too far away from the second order!" ”

"I'll wipe it!" Infinity couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, although he had a fairly reliable source of information, but the special surname of the wanderer profession doomed him to understand some of the details of the game better than the mage profession that required a "well-read" class.

Originally, he also thought that the "high-level" skeleton monsters he had fought before were nothing remarkable, and he wondered with great confidence whether he would take the time to take risks with a secret high-level relic provided to him by the "intelligence source" behind him after taking office, and get something good from it.

Now it seems that it is estimated that he is not qualified to deliver food to other high-level monsters!

"When these martial apprentices were 'alive', they might have been level 1 and level 20 at most, but now they have become undead creatures after hanging up, not only do they have the 'undead template' and get the special surname of the undead, but they also retain some of their 'combat skills' and 'instinct consciousness', are you sure that they are still only level 1 and level 20?"

Wutong shook his head: "Zombies know martial arts, and gods can't stop them!" ”

Everyone is cold, zombies and other monsters, all have a "crusty" surname, and their resistance to physical attacks is extremely high, but they are slow, slow to react, and their limbs are stiff, so it's not too difficult to deal with, but these martial apprentices become undead creatures, obviously limbs are very flexible, and they will also use weapons and equipment, if it's really like Wutong said, if you want to kill them, it is estimated that you have to fill in your own life first!

Lorenna was deflated by what Sycamore said, and complained with her broadsword in both hands: "Then what to do? You can't just go back, can you? ”

Lin Linling also looked at Wutong, on the "treasure map" she rubbed down from the sacrificial hall of the goblin tribe, although she clearly pointed to the whereabouts of the martial arts apprentices to this geofine alchemy laboratory, but it did not indicate how to complete this task, combined with what she said to Wutong before, "You don't have to kill monsters to complete the task", maybe there is some other way for them to obtain evidence that the martial arts apprentices have come to this alchemy laboratory, so that they can go back to hand in the inaugural task.

Wutong scratched his chin, he didn't have any good ideas, so he could only say: "Try it first, find a way to lead them over one by one and try them, if it doesn't work, still use the old trick, I'll spread the [package trap] on the ground, you lead them to the trap, let's just load them back and hand in the task!" No matter how powerful they are, which 5th and 6th order martial artists can they beat? ”

Everyone is very cold, this method is good, lock them up, and then go back and pour them out in front of those high-level martial artists in the Auraang Martial Arts Academy, it is more effective than any evidence.

Now the question is how to lure them over one by one, these martial apprentices are not as stupid as skeletons and zombies, they can be led one by one with a light crossbow, these self-aware martial arts apprentices, if one of them is introduced, it will lead the other litters over.

"Why don't I try?"

The bard Sage Book in the infinite team suddenly interjected, and when everyone looked at him, he raised the wooden mandolin in his hand: "If they were self-conscious, [[***] song] might be able to control it close to us, and even if it didn't succeed, it shouldn't have alerted them." ”

Since there are no "side effects", you might as well try it, but the effective range of the [[***] song] played by the sage book on the mandolin is only 60 feet, and the active martial arts apprentices are more than 150 feet away from them.

"Can you be sure that the effect will only apply to one Martial Apprentice?" Sycamore confirms as he pulls out the [Invisibility Potion] that he hasn't used up before.

"Well, I can control the effect and only apply to one or a few targets, otherwise, if I shoot during the battle, it won't be that both the enemy and the enemy will fall into a [[***]] state." Sage Shu took the [Invisible Potion] handed to him by Wutong, and looked at the surname curiously, this bottle can be used three times, each time for 10 minutes, enough for him to lure the martial apprentices over.

Sprinkled some [Invisible Potion] on his body, and the Sage Book slowly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the players looked around for a while, making sure they couldn't see him, and then they all stepped back a distance, so as to avoid the noise made during the battle that alarmed the other martial apprentices in the sacrificial hall.

Infinity, on the other hand, hides by the gate of the sacrificial hall, observing the condition of the sage book, so as to remind the sycamore in advance to prepare.

Soon, everyone heard a burst of piano sounds, like a gossamer, although they couldn't control the sound of the piano to be heard by only one person, but this degree was not enough to arouse the vigilance of the monsters.

I saw that in the sound of the piano, one of the martial apprentices closest to them suddenly stopped wandering, stood in place in a daze, seemed to be very puzzled and slowly twisted his withered head, looking for the source of the sound of the piano, and soon walked along the sound line to the door.

He gestured to the players who had retreated a distance, signaled for the martial apprentice to come, and then drew his one-handed sword, and with a shadow flickering at the gate, a withered martial apprentice appeared in front of the players.

However, let everyone, including the sage book who held the [[***] song], not expect that without seeing people, the martial apprentice was still very "obedient" to be controlled by the sound of the piano, but when he walked out of the gate and saw the infinity hiding next to the gate, he suddenly stopped, and then only paused for 1 second, and suddenly broke free from the control of the sage book, and the dry claws suddenly clenched the iron staff, opened the mouth that only had dry gums, and seemed to be about to let out a roar!

Everyone was shocked, and with a flick of the infinite body, the one-handed sword slashed at the throat of the martial apprentice, intending to cut off his roar, but the martial apprentice was worthy of "Zombies know martial arts, and the gods can't stop it!" With these words, the iron rod in his hand adjusted a slight angle, and a swift "stabbing technique" stabbed at the chest of Infinity, and the frightened Infinity had to urgently withdraw the one-handed sword in front of his chest!

"Ding!" With a crisp sound, it hit the iron staff on the spine of the sword, and directly stabbed the infinity that pounced forward! Slammed into the wall outside the gate with a muffled grunt!

The others couldn't wait to see the martial apprentice open his mouth and let out a silent howl on his back Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, only then did they react, and found that it was the sycamore next to him who had just lowered his arm, and released a [Silence Technique] on it!

"Go!" Sycamore threw another [Light Suppression] into the gate, creating a cloud of darkness in the gate.
