Chapter 136: Mountain Rain is Coming
Time passed very quickly, and in the past few days when Bai Yan had been concentrating on cultivation, the various disturbances caused by the red mist were not only known to the big guilds and groups with rich intelligence, but also caused considerable impact among ordinary players.
The Enchanted Forest is densely covered with points that emit red mist, which does not have a great impact on powerful magicians, but weaker magicians can't even live in the forest, and can only disperse to the settlements of players of all races. The red mist that gradually began to approach the human world also caused a lot of trouble to human players, and many players closed their doors. In the Old Hell, players haven't had much of an impact yet because they're in good health, but there are some players who have noticed this. Even in places like the Underworld and Youkai Mountain, all the races that live in them are disturbed by it, and the sources of red mist that began to appear in various parts of Gensokyo began to release a huge amount of red mist, with a posture of sweeping the entire Gensokyo.
As the chaos brought about by the red mist increased, there were large guild groups, small groups, and even individuals, all of whom began to survey the red mist. No one would think that this was a bug in the game or a prank for no reason, and it was impossible for such a large area of red fog to be the actions of an individual or even a group, the only thing that could be explained was that a very important event was about to occur, and it was a precursor to this event.
The current phantom sky, no matter which page it is, the first dozen or so posts are about the red mist, whether it is speculation or live, or simply complaining, it can cause many players to participate in the discussion.
Based on the current development trend of Red Mist and the information gathered by players, it can be summarized into a few points.
First of all, the red mist is released by man, not a natural phenomenon. If you want to say the reason, it is very simple, there is no such natural phenomenon at all, and the red mist that even the spirit body can affect, is definitely not a natural phenomenon and can be fooled.
Second, the entire Gensokyo, except for the Celestial and Lunar Capitals, which are not currently open to players, is affected by the red mist. Without exception, in every group of players, there are players who have testified on the phantom sky.
Third, the red mist spreads through the air. Extremely easy to spread. Therefore, there is a difference between thick and light, and the closer the player is to the source of the red mist, the more severely affected the red mist.
The high concentration of red mist can absorb the power in the player's body, leaving the player weak, and even worse. It can even be life-threatening, and even a low concentration of red mist can drain the player's stamina. Some players have done tests, using the concentration of red mist on the periphery of the Enchanted Forest as a "low" benchmark - this is the benchmark that pervades the entire Gensokkyo - after about two hours of normal activity in it, the player will go from being full of energy to looking at ease, after about three hours the state will become gradually tired, and after about five hours it will become exhausted, and then the player will not test it again, so it is unclear whether the lighter red mist will be fatal.
However, it has been established that the fog will be lethal for both the player and the natives, and it is in the party that goes to the source of the red fog. There have been quite a few players who have been killed, and many of these players have been able to survive without a lifetime. According to those players' later descriptions, in the extremely thick red mist, the blood of the whole body will gradually be drained by the red mist, as if it has been sucked dry, and the appearance of the whole person is particularly terrifying.
Fourth, this matter was done by the Red Devil Pavilion. This is speculation and not empirical, but quite a few players believe that it is. Because the description of the player who died in the Red Mist is very much like being drained of blood by a vampire. Of course, there is no definite evidence, and no one dares to assert so.
But the recent movement of the Red Devil Pavilion is indeed a bit strange. The huge vampire population that was supposed to be operating in the area around the Red Demon Pavilion has shrunk its tracks unusually, and players in the Lake of Mist and the surrounding Enchanted Forest have rarely seen vampire players appear lately. Many big guilds have sent sentries to observe the Red Devil Pavilion's every move, but there is no result for the time being.
Indigenous NPCs in various ethnic gathering places have also taken corresponding measures to deal with and investigate. Even if the red mist is blown away by the wind for a while, it will soon gather again. However, the leaders have released various quests to let players take various precautions to resist the red mist, and some NPCs have also released tasks such as finding the source of the red mist, which are very rewarding. Players are still distressed about not receiving tasks on weekdays, and the outbreak of this quest tide has made players taste the benefits.
The Red Mist measures in the spawn areas of each race are well done, and the concentration is relatively small, basically maintaining a level that is harmless to both the player and the natives, so players can still maintain a normal life for the time being.
At this time, I have to mention one of the benefits of the Red Mist Mutation - it promotes communication between players of various races.
After the Gensokyo version is updated, it is said that it is open to the whole territory of Gensokyo, but in fact, except for some players who are curious about other races will go to other races to explore and travel, few players will go to other races, because the task on their side has not been completed, and they are not used to being treated differently by others, etc., for various reasons, there are very few players who travel between races.
But the red mist is menacing, and in the Enchanted Forest, the weaker players can no longer stay, which affects the survival of the largest race in Gensokyo-Youkai, and many branches of the Youkai live in the Enchanted Forest, and now they can't live, so they can only come out to the settlements of other races.
Therefore, within a few days, all kinds of monsters walked in the human market, goblins appeared in the monster station, and magic envoys wandered around the ghost clan and the underworld... Such phenomena have emerged one after another.
This has added a lot of opportunities for trade and tasks for other races, such as policing, tour guides, exchange of treasured items, auctions, and so on.
However, this is a good thing.
Red mist is a matter that needs to be solved urgently, and the production and life of most players have still been disturbed, such as the commercial street of the beast road, which has basically been relocated to the vicinity of Boli Shrine. On the Phantom Sky, many players have already begun to discuss countermeasures. Players in the medicine department are actively preparing drugs to resist the effects of the red mist, players in the life department are building equipment to fight the red mist, and players with strength are paying the price of their lives again and again to explore and reveal the secrets of the red mist for more players.
Gensokyo, where the mountain rain is coming, is about to set off a storm.
