Antarctica, 175 degrees east longitude, 67 degrees south latitude. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Here, a group of humanoid creatures suddenly appeared, appeared about five meters above sea level, and then fell and sank into the water.

"Poof-" A young man's head lifted up from under the water, first squirted desperately, then gasped for a moment, then opened his mouth as if to complain, but his whole body trembled, his purple lips trembled, but he couldn't make a sound at all, "Shhh......h

Immediately afterward, several wet human heads emerged from under the water, and between the lips one by one, the pale face, whether the lips or the eyelids, all the other colors were bruised black and purple. At first glance, none of these heads seem to be indistinguishable from dead people......

The first young man had swam to the shore with difficulty, lying on top of the ice, his whole body convulsing as if he had been electrocuted. After a moment of hard gasping, the young male finally got up, moved his almost frozen limbs, and tried to breathe, but he couldn't get out much white smoke......

"This, this—this is too cold." The young man was finally able to speak, and after complaining for a while, he shivered as he looked at his companions who had also climbed on the ice and enjoyed even colder treatment, as well as his teammates who were still floating in the water, and who had no way of knowing whether they were alive or dead, and sighed, "Why did this go down before it started......?"

"Whew." Then, next to him appeared a fully armed, tightly wrapped up and down, not only the face, but also the size of the person who could not be guessed, and the guy was not standing and skating around on the ice like everyone else, obviously, his shoes were also very professional equipment, "Yo, you don't look very good, do you?" ”

A relatively sturdy middle-aged man on the ground was the first to get up, and after spitting a few mouthfuls of water mixed with ice ballast, he opened his bruised lips and said with a little difficulty: "We, but, I didn't expect it, it would be, so, cold." ”

"That's why I warned you beforehand." The heavily armed man answered briskly with his hands outstretched, and then without waiting for the bloodless man to respond, he changed the subject, "What—are there two people missing?" ”

"......" "Huh?" "It seems to be true." …………

A minute later, the group of people on the shore drenched and the only one intact, looking at the white debris floating from the bottom of the sea, the mood in their hearts was very delicate.

"'Die before you get out of school', I will miss you." The heavily armed man sighed and shook his head.

"Hey! It's all your fault, okay! Wouldn't it be good to get us with your gear ready beforehand! The first young man to climb ashore exclaimed, "Wait a minute, hey! Why did this die again! ”

A woman who had already looked like a dead man, after climbing ashore and lying flat on the ice, finally came to the end of her life, and white shards began to float on her body, blending perfectly with the snow-capped picture in the background.

The heavily armed man finally took off his hat, revealing his face wrapped in a series of accessories such as glasses, masks, hoods, etc., and he exhaled a white air when he spoke: "How can it be said that it is my fault? It's not like I didn't tell you it's cold here. It's all because you're not prepared enough. Okay, do you want to get points? ”

“…… In this kind of place, can you really get points? It looks desolate, you won't fool us, will you? ”

"How so? What creatures that can still move on the ground are not thanks to the player's well-being? I thank you that it's too late. The heavily armed man raised his hand and pointed to a surprisingly tall mountain range in the distance, "That's the Brush Point." ”

The few players who were still alive followed his finger and saw that every peak of the mountain range reached into the sky, and the cliffs that were connected looked like blue-gray world walls, perhaps because they were incompatible with the snow-white environment, and the moment they saw the mountain range, everyone instinctively felt a distorted and gloomy oppressive aura.

The tightly wrapped man seemed to be smiling as he spoke: "The highest mountain on our planet is Mount Everest in the Himalayas, with an altitude of 8,844.43 meters, and at least one measurement was within this range. I can tell you with confidence that the altitude of the mountain I am referring to now is conservatively estimated to be more than 9,000 meters. ”

"W-what does that mean?" After mana drying their bodies and barely getting a few thicker clothes to drape over their bodies, the other players were finally able to speak, though the question itself was a bit silly.

Without waiting for the man in his suit to scan with contemptuous eyes, the young man who came ashore first answered the question on his behalf: "This means that this mountain—or even this mountain range, did not exist in this world in the first place. In other words, it's part of the expansion pack for our 'Preliminary Tournament'. ”

The man in the suit nodded: "That's the case." I can tell you that over the mountain you can see an abandoned town with a cavern that leads underground, and below you will encounter the incompletely evolved Snow White Penguin, as well as slimes - a little more powerful than slimes, of course. In my personal opinion, it is very suitable for you to brush up the score. ”

The players looked at each other for a while, and then entangled for a while with topics such as whether the trap could send them over the mountains, and finally left the trap behind, and supported each other towards the gloomy mountains.

An hour later, the young player who had been the first to come ashore came back on his stomach, tapped on the door outside the tent, and then naturally walked inside, taking a cup of hot tea from the man in the suit, who had already unloaded most of his equipment.

"I'm freezing to death." The young man blew on the mouth of the teacup, letting the hot steam blow back to his face, closed his eyes a little intoxicated for a while, and then said with interest, "You seem to be very comfortable here?" ”

The man in the suit smiled and nodded: "Well, the environment in my hometown is very similar to here - but it's far from here." ”

"Oh." The young man held the teacup and answered.

The tent suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and no sound could be heard except for the sound of flames rising through the air.

The smile of the man in the suit broke the silence: "It's hard work." You're getting more and more proficient in your performance skills. ”

"Whew—" The young man shook his head as he rubbed his steaming teacup, "I don't know what you're trying to do. ”

The man in the suit raised his head and looked at the young man with a smile: "I want all players to die." ”

"......" The young man took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and nodded, "I see." ”

…………

"Hmph—Golden Libra." Referred to as "sister" by the golden Libra, she had also made a special trip to secretly follow and observe the woman before, clasped her hands to her chest, and pronounced her nickname with a rather unfriendly attitude, "This name is so stupid." ”

(What my name is this woman!) Little Gold's name is so cute! ）

Unlike Lin Qing, who was very excited and angry for a while, Golden Libra seemed to be used to such treatment, just lowered his head, silently listened to the words of that "sister", and silently waited for her to get to the point.

Seeing that the golden Libra was silently listening to her, the woman seemed to be a little dissatisfied, smacked her lips, and did not expand on this issue as if she was extrajudicially gracious: "I asked before, do you want me to ask again?" What are you doing here? ”

(Hey, hey, little gold, I remember the last time you said it was your cousin?) That's a bit excessive, isn't it? ）

The golden balance ignored Lin Qing, and replied with a very low attitude: "I thought that here, you can, earn points." ”

The woman looked at the golden Libra with her head down, obviously she couldn't see her expression at all, but as if she confirmed the other party's deference, she nodded with satisfaction and sneered: "Oh-Miss Golden Libra, aren't you quite a genius?" Not to mention that he is the only inheritor of this generation of the family, his brain is also extremely flexible, and he has not yet made up his scores? ”

Golden Libra nodded naturally: "Yes." I'm not, genius. ”

When the woman heard this, her expression was a little ugly, but this time it was not transformed into vicious words, but she was not very good at suppressing it, and continued to maintain her original sneer: "Heh." As your sister, I will certainly be willing to help you when you are facing difficulties. But you can't earn points here. ”

(It doesn't look like a lie.) Lin Qing made his judgment very firmly, and as an expert in some aspects, his judgment should be trustworthy - if you believe that what he says is true.

"Really? Excuse me. Golden Libra nodded at the woman with a blank expression.

(But it's weird.) Judging from the previous situation, this woman should have a relatively close connection with the Celestial Dynasty government. It makes no sense that you don't know anything about the "Chinese Dragon Group" that suddenly appeared? Or do I have a preconceived notion that the Chinese dragon group here has nothing to do with the government? ）

Just as Golden Libra listened to Lin Qing's analysis and was silently preparing to retire, the woman suddenly stopped her.

"It's not here, but I've just heard that someone has provided a piece of information that can be scored. Well, if you are interested, can I introduce it to you? But my own score is enough, and I said in advance that I won't be with you. ”

(Not lying, but not seeming to tell the full truth.) Laughing strangely, this woman. What do you think of Little Gold? ）

"It should be, it's dangerous." Golden Libra whispered, and then, with a smile, "It's okay to have you there. ”

（…… That's really ...... Flattered. Let's give it a try. ）
