Although it is not clear why there is such a situation as "time imparity" between [Endless Secret Realm] and the large world, it is clear that this situation is more beneficial to them, as it is equivalent to having enough time to collect a large number of rare and precious materials from the outside world.

I believe that other participating teams have also discovered this, many materials are rare treasures in the outside world, I don't think anyone will be stupid enough to miss the opportunity to collect on a large scale, even if they fail in the main war, as long as they can go back alive, these rare materials brought back are enough for them to return to their roots.

This chief war is estimated to be the largest in history, the most cruel rules, more than 100 participating teams, tens of thousands of participants, all countries are ruthlessly planning to consume each other's new generation of strength, to achieve the purpose of weakening the strength of other countries, so this time the chief war not only does not limit the number of people, but also does not limit the time of the mission, as long as the task can be completed in the end to achieve the goal.

"Investigate the cause of the mutation of the animals in the Earpel Forest, and go to Talon Druid Camp [Sadek] to ask Milua. Silver Frost Grand Druid reports. The task was given 5 task points, and I had never encountered such a thing in a task before, and it was estimated that it was something that the examiners of the ** division made out, and finally counted the results of the participating teams.

This also shows that these task points are very important for the final judgment, and each task point should not be given up lightly, because it is likely to be related to the final ranking of the four-year research rights of the twelve Infinity Towers!

"The extension of the timeline is a good thing for us."

Wutong patted the large book on his lap, brushed away the charcoal ash that floated from the bonfire in front of him because of the burning, and stuffed it into the small bag on his waist, as a mage is like this, he has to seize the time to absorb all kinds of knowledge anytime and anywhere, which leads to every mage as long as he is free, there will always be a thick book on hand, fortunately, Wutong has a [mobile shelf] school bag, otherwise it is a headache to carry a large number of arcane books around.

The half-orc cook took a bowl of hot broth from the broth pot that had been stewed for a long time, and handed them to the partners who were around the bonfire and had long been salivating, Wutong took a bowl and blew it, tasted it carefully, the taste was very delicious, and nodded with satisfaction, there was no raw material for the soup at all A fierce forest lizard, it looked so terrible.

"The 10:1 unequal timeline is equivalent to more than 3 days in the secret realm, and only 1 day has passed in the big world, so even if we stay in the secret realm for a long time, we won't miss too many game plots in the big world."

While mixing it with a spoon to make the soup cool down faster, Wutong analyzed: "Although there is no time limit for the mission of the chief war, I still think it is better to return to the big world as soon as possible, and it will be worth the loss if I miss some big plots." ”

The orc, who had already eaten "sigh" and "boom", took advantage of the gap between the third bowl of broth and took time out of his busy schedule to ask: "Mage, how long do you think this chief war will last?" ”

No wonder he asked, no one thought that the mission map would be so huge, they had been hanging in the forest for more than ten days, and they didn't even touch a single hair, which showed that this island, known as the [Endless Secret Realm], was so huge that it was beyond their imagination, and the other teams were teleported to corners they couldn't reach.

"It's hard to say that the 'Druid Camp Mission' we have received now is probably just the 'introduction' of the main quest of the Chief War, that is to say, the Chief War is actually a task chain composed of multiple tasks, and it is estimated that it is impossible to complete it in a short period of time, and only by doing it step by step can we get access to the final answer. This is something that no team can avoid, so we don't have to worry too much about wasted time, we are on the same starting line as any other team. ”

Wutong thought for a while and said: "In the past ten days, we haven't encountered a single player in the Epel Forest, I'm afraid it's because everyone is collecting as many rare materials as possible, so the progress of the mission is relatively slow, which has caused the teams to not get out of the area of the first ring mission, so naturally they can't encounter others." ”

"It's similar to my guess, from what we know, this first-ring task is probably the survivability and combat ability of the chief teams of the school, and in the first-ring task, I'm afraid more than half of the people will be brushed off, and those guys who are not strong enough will be eliminated at this stage."

The druid next to him nodded, agreeing with Wutong's statement: "The first ring mission is encountered by the 3rd and 4th order monsters, and there may be higher-level monsters in the back, it is impossible to beat it at all, and the task can only be completed through other methods, and those guys who are not strong enough can not even deal with the 3rd and 4th order monsters of the first ring mission, and there is no need to participate in the later tasks."

The druid hit the point, and the old man Zemmour also said that this "mage war" is not the number of people who can affect the outcome, and those teams that have gathered hundreds, or even thousands, will steal chickens and rice on credit this time, if they see the opportunity early and escape with [teleportation guide crystal], they may be able to reserve some elites for the team, otherwise hundreds or thousands of people will be folded here, which will definitely be a fatal blow to the team.

All kinds of clues can show that the main thing in this chief war is not to kill the monsters encountered, but to avoid being killed by the monsters encountered, the creatures that haunt this endless secret realm, the lowest are 3rd order monsters, 4th order monsters, the more people there are, the bigger the target, the faster they die, as long as the task can be completed in the end, there is no difference between one person and a hundred people.

"Moreover, I suspect that the tasks received by each team are randomly triggered in their area, which requires a lot of class matching for the team, for example, we receive a task related to the druid profession, and other teams are likely to receive tasks related to other professions, if there is no related profession in the team, I am afraid that the task will be much more difficult!"

Everyone agrees with this, in the previous battles and explorations of the forest, the role played by the flail eagle is obvious to all, and occasionally encounters some high-level predators surnamed ferocious animals that are really invincible with their second-order strength, and the flail eagle will use various druid abilities such as [appeasement animals], [charm animals], [animal talk], [animal ignorance], [natural knowledge], [understanding animals], [piercing the forest] and so on, to avoid and dodge.

It can be said that the task of this druid camp received, if there is no druid of the flail eagle, the difficulty will probably increase by more than two or three times, just in the forest, they encounter 5th and 6th order monsters, they have already asked for their own lives.

Although they have the strength to leapfrog challenges, it doesn't mean that they can ignore the unlimited cross-level challenges of the ranks, even if an ant is strong, it is impossible to bite an elephant to death, right? Although their damage is very high and their ability to break defenses is very strong, it doesn't mean that they can break through the innate defenses of Tier 5 and 6 creatures!

"Okay, now we have too little intelligence information, it's useless to think too much, everyone take a rest, and we'll continue to go deeper when it's dawn, the [Sadek] camp is estimated to be in this area surrounded by forests."

Attracted by the bright light of the bonfire, a large beetle buzzed and flew into the fire without hesitation, letting out a "Smack!" With a crisp explosion, Wutong waved his hand and slapped away a small insect flying in front of him, and said to his companions.

Except for the four foodies who were still eating Hesse, the Invincible Hammer, the Three Days of Life and Grom, the others nodded and took out their bags, Lingyue Frost Snow and Mayan Melody, Cloud Light Wind and Light The three girls even took out a tent to set it up, for girls, sleeping in the open air with groups of small insects flying, it was really terrifying.

"Ahh

The dwarf spat out a small struggling bug from his mouth, and muttered, "I hate the forest!" There are so many bugs! Then they continued to drink the bowl of broth soaked in insects, and it seemed that the four of them were not going to stop until they had finished the broth that could be used for bathing.

"Of course there are a lot of insects in the forest!"

The druid calmly laid down a blanket not far from the campfire, and lay down comfortably with his arms crossed, except for the insects around him, perhaps the insects thought of him as a moving piece of wood.

Others are also smearing insect repellent on themselves, moving around the forest, and when they are active, they are better, and once they stop, the bugs around them will come to bother you like bombers, which is a real headache.

Infinite sprinkled a whole can of insect repellent powder on himself, making it look like a mouse that got into a flour bag, and after coughing twice after choking on the powder, he said sullenly: "It's not good that the timeline is not equal, staying overnight in the game is much more painful than staying offline overnight, I think those mosquitoes will definitely suck us into dry corpses!" ”

Although the 10:1 timeline in the Endless Secret Realm allows them to extend the offline time to once every ten days, they still have to camp for a night every three days to replenish the official food and water, otherwise there will be symptoms of continuous physical decline the next day, which is estimated to be a coercive effect arranged by the core consciousness god in order to conform to the real surname.

With a quick slap of both hands, the hammer killed a bug that was about to fall on him, pinching the corpse of the bug and said curiously: "It's strange to say!?" The animals in the forest have mutated, why are these bugs unaffected? ”

"Who knows? Maybe the individual strength is too low, and the mutation doesn't affect anything, right? Or maybe we haven't encountered a mutated bug yet."

Wutong found a comfortable place to spread out the blanket, and planned to sit down and meditate: "But how many mosquitoes are there in the forest?" Listen to this sound, you're almost catching up with the bombers! ”

In the silence of the forest, there was indeed a low, bomber-like hum in the darkness around the campfire, which were made by insects shaking their wings, and if you read them carefully, you could even hear the "snap" sound of their wings flapping.

"Wait! Bang? ”

The sycamore, who was just about to sit down, was suddenly stunned, how big does this insect have to be to make a crackling sound when it flapps its wings?

Everyone was stunned, subconsciously looking at the surrounding darkness, but was shocked to find that at some point, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the surrounding darkness, which looked like a large group of fireflies at first glance!

Wutong was stunned and distinguished the little red dot in the darkness: "What is that?" Bat? ”

"Not really, can a bat hover like a dragonfly?"

Feeling that something was wrong, they stood up, took out their daggers with their hammers, and walked slowly and cautiously, but before he could go into the darkness, they suddenly retreated and retreated, as if they had stabbed a hornet's nest, and turned around and ran.

There's no need to ask what the hammer sees, because as the hammer explodes, with an upsetting buzzing sound, a swarm of orange flying objects rushes into the area where the campfire is lit!

These creatures with two pairs of bat wings, a wingspan nearly two feet wide, and two pairs of sharp hook-like claws in front and back and half a foot long with needle-like mouthparts, at first glance look like a combination of bats and mosquitoes, but they are much larger, and the four wings behind them vibrate at a high frequency, which allows them to hover in the air like hummingbirds, and make unbelievable irregular movements, and the agility is amazing, and the disturbing buzzing sound just now is the sound of their wings vibrating.

"What the hell is this!?"

Jumping up from the ground in a hurry, the people who took out their weapons waved their arms in embarrassment, driving away these big insects that tried to get close to them, Grom, who had just thrown away the soup bowl and jumped up, suddenly screamed and grabbed his backhand with his backhand, but the thick muscles of his arms made it impossible for him to reach his back at all.

As Grom spun around in place, everyone saw what was behind him, a big orange-red insect was firmly grasping the leather armor behind him with its sharp hook claws, and pierced the mouthparts of the little thumb and more than half a foot into the gap of his leather armor desperately, its orange body turned blood red at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"It's sucking blood! It's sucking my blood! Help me get rid of it! Wow rub! It hurts! ”

The jumping orcs fought the grom like they were being forced. The little girl in the storm was at a loss, and looking at his painful expression, it was hard to imagine what kind of pain would make this tough guy show his weak side.

Sycamore's [Lightning Shock] smashed accurately on Grom's back, and only a 0-order spell would not cause too serious damage to Grom, but what was shocking was that with Sycamore's magic injury, this [Lightning Shock] didn't even cause fatal damage to the seemingly fragile big bug, and just broke away from Grom's back, and rushed towards the Sycamore that attacked it with a bloody sharp mouth!

Leng Jiutou's figure suddenly appeared in front of Wutong, and the Eternal Wand slashed precisely at its wings, splitting it away with a sword, and then pulling Wutong back quickly.

Although neither the attacks of Wutong nor Leng Jiutou could cause fatal damage to the monster, they did allow them to obtain information about this monster:

Tier 2 [Fierce Mosquito]!

Such a small thing turned out to be a second-order creature?

At the same time that Wutong was stunned, the companions around him also said, "Oops! Oh yo! There are too many fierce mosquitoes, the flight speed is fast, and the flight trajectory is unpredictable, it is difficult for them to hit them at once, but they were hit by the fierce mosquitoes again and again, and stabbed a few times!

The people who were attacked quickly gathered together, standing back to back, even so, they could not completely defend against the attack of the ferocious mosquito bat, but it was Leng Jiutou, who had the weakest attack power, who exerted the greatest effect, and the Eternal Wand that was quickly stabbed out could split a fierce mosquito bat that pounced on him with every blow, defending the 180° range around him.

Wutong, who was shocked by the fierce mosquito bat just now, suddenly became angry, and a [flame spray] pulled out a fire dragon several meters long, roaring and sweeping through the air, burning those fierce mosquito bats with a squeaky scream, and fled one after another.

"Everyone, be careful! These guys are Tier 2 ferocious creatures! ”

When everyone was shocked by the amazing magic injuries of Wutong, and the most powerful fire type 1 spell could not kill them in an instant, Leng Jiutou, who was guarding the back for everyone, reminded them in time, and everyone reacted, and desperately attacked the fierce mosquito bat swarm one after another, and they didn't know what was alarmed, the bomber-like wing vibration actually roared around and above them, and it was not clear how many such monsters surrounded them in the night for a while.

The most powerful Grom and Invincible Hammer, at this time reduced to the weakest, although their attacks are strong, but the attack speed is not fast, heavy weapons simply cannot hit these flying super fast guys, but the wanderers seize the opportunity of the ferocious mosquito to attack themselves, and stab them with a dagger, and the instant burst of damage can always cut off the wings of a mosquito and knock them down.

"No more! There are so many of them! I can't bear it! Run! ”

Grom, who had been intubated one after another, and his little face turned white, roared angrily, wielding his two large axes in vain.

Run? Where are you going?

In all directions, there are more than hundreds of ferocious mosquitoes that they can see, and they are already surrounded by overwhelming, even if they can break through their encirclement, they can't run on two legs than the ferocious mosquitoes that fly with four wings!
