"Wait...."

Just as the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, a rather familiar voice rang out.

"It's someone I know, the same Lone Wanderer, not their person..."

As the sound sounded, the tense atmosphere dissipated instantly, and several vague figures walked out of the darkness.

"Hey, hungry ghost, you're not dead yet..."

The strong man who took the lead, exuding an iron-blooded aura of steel, was the pinnacle force that Qiao Mai had ever cooperated with-Iron Dance. At this time, Tie Wu was struggling to wink at Qiao Mai, signaling him to speak less.

"Hehe..."

Qiao Mai, who understood in seconds, showed an embarrassed smile.

"It's good that it's not their people, boy, you should be glad you met us..."

The guy hiding in the shadows was obviously a powerful assassin, and his aura was so visible that even Qiao Mai couldn't pinpoint it.

"Iron Man, he'll leave it to you, remember, don't make trouble for us..."

As soon as the words fell, several other figures disappeared in place again. They left.

"Okay, don't talk, just listen to me..."

Probably seeing Qiao Mai's doubts, Tie Wu was the first to speak.

"This is a makeshift camp for the Lone Wanderers, and now there are dozens of powerful Lone Wanderers stationed here, and it is too dangerous outside without a system supply point. We take turns sweeping up NPCs or beasts that appear nearby, giving others a chance to rest. Alas, don't you know, after entering here, not only sleep, but also food must be replenished regularly, otherwise the physical recovery and health recovery will be lower and lower, and it will be uncomfortable..."

"Let's talk about the rest tomorrow, you can rest now..."

As soon as Iron Dance finished speaking, a simple camp appeared in front of Qiao Mai's eyes. In the valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, twenty or thirty players were entrenched on one side, some were resting with their eyes closed, and some were looking at the two who entered with interest. In the center of the entire camp, a small pile of strange hedrons emitted a faint fluorescence, making the place look less cold and dark.

"Remember, don't interact with other people. Don't say you're at the peak of your strength, and don't reveal that you're a newcomer who just came in, none of these guys are simple. Anyway, they'll leave separately in a few hours, trying not to have anything to do with them. It's much more dangerous than the bubble world..."

Throwing off the words of warning, Iron Dance turned and left, his assigned patrol mission had just begun.

Ignoring the other players' visits and cold eyes, Qiao Mai casually found a corner and sat down. It's been a few days since I came in to play, and Qiao Mai hasn't had a good rest, although because the body is digitized, he won't get tired, but the exhaustion of his soul can't be avoided. The doubts were also put aside by Qiao Mai for the time being, at least he met an acquaintance, so that he would not run around like a headless fly.

The whole camp was silent and seemed to be peaceful, but Qiao Mai could feel the malice of many guys. It was evident from the vigilant posture of the others and the weapons that never left their hands that everyone was watching out of each other, even in this improvised camp.

"Ghoul summons..."

An eerie mist rolled in, and several hideous ghouls appeared beside Qiao Mai. Regardless of what happened to the other players, Jo Michael summoned the ghoul to sentry, and then lay down on the ground and closed his eyes. Probably because of the ghoul's hideous appearance, all the eyes that visited Qiao Mai disappeared in an instant.

"Hey..."

Qiao Mai, who had his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Hah..."

When Qiao Mai came to his senses again, the sky was slowly brightening. Qiao Mai was sure that he had slept for three or four hours, and it seemed that the night here was unexpectedly short.

"Bang..."

The roar of artillery in the distance rang out again, opening the curtain on the day's fighting. However, Qiao Mai wondered what the result would be if these NPCs were constantly fighting frantically, or that everything was just to create the craziest battlefield for the player.

"Awake?"

Not far to Qiao Mai's right, Tie Wu was looking at several ghouls suspiciously. In his memory, the starving ghost summoned by Qiao Mai was not like this. Could it be a change in talent?

"What about the others?"

Looking around, Jo Mai noticed that the other players had all left. Only one of the two of them was left in the empty camp, himself and Iron Dance.

"It's long gone. Ready, we need to act."

"Thanks to you, you've been assigned here, and the two of us can avoid a lot of trouble..."

Tie Wu opened his mouth with a cold face, it was obvious that in the more than a day since he entered here, he had encountered quite a few unpleasant incidents.

Dismissing a few ghouls, Jomai followed Iron Dance out of the valley. It could be seen from Tie Wu's appreciative eyes that he was very satisfied with Qiao Mai's current state of cover-up.

"Remember, in the eyes of others, you are just a summoner, and I am just a meat shield with strong defense, don't reveal all your combat abilities unless you have to..."

"As soon as we came in, we were assigned to this newly released four-star difficulty map, which was both fortunate and unfortunate..."

"Luckily, there are more resources and opportunities than the maps that have already been explored by other players. Moreover, a peak force like ours, which has a relatively high starting point, and those maps that are basically all occupied by player organizations, are not suitable for us at all. Moreover, low-difficulty maps basically can't provide us with the resources to become stronger..."

The eloquent Iron Dance has obviously changed a lot compared to the bubble world. It seems that at this time, he really needs a guy like Qiao Mai, who is strong and trustworthy.

"Of course, misfortune always accompanies us a little more."

Speaking of Iron Dance here, his face instantly turned cold, and his eyes became much more ruthless.

"Most players with strong potential will go straight to the fourth ring after a short stay in the fifth ring. Moreover, their stay in the Fifth Ring was quite short, basically less than a month. Peak forces like us basically leave directly after opening a map. ”

"Actually, staying in the Fifth Ring Road for a while longer is also very beneficial. As long as the strength is close to the two of us, they have the ability to directly open a certain low-difficulty map. I've heard that if you beat through a map, you'll get quite a lot of system rewards. Even for peak force, those resources are huge..."

Speaking of this, even Tie Wu, who had always been calm, showed an expectant look. It seems that beating through a map can indeed get a reward that will make everyone's heart flutter.

"It's just that now, this kind of welfare exclusive to the strong is also monopolized..."

"All the scum who didn't dare to enter the more difficult map survived in the fifth ring. Their strength, crushing newcomers, is without pressure. Even those of us who have just come in with the peak force are not pleasing to them. There are just too many of them. ”

After saying it in one breath, the murderous aura on his face gradually became stronger.

"On the Golden Island now, the navy and pirates have their own base camps, and even the bounty hunters have their own stations. Players can also join these NPC factions if certain conditions are met. The benefits of joining, you should understand without me saying..."

"It's just that these camps are also pre-booked by those guys. All the lone wanderers, only by joining them, will they have a chance to enter these camps later, otherwise, they will be besieged en masse..."

"When I first entered here yesterday, I was attacked by several waves of inexplicable guys. If it weren't for my advanced talent, you probably wouldn't be able to see me now. ”

Tie Wu's body was full of murderous aura, and after entering here, his experience was too aggrieved. Qiao Mai completely ignored the raging anger and murderous aura on his body, and Tie Wu's words gave him a general understanding of the rules and situation of the entire Golden Island.

As for the enemies blocking the way, wouldn't it be nice to just sweep them all away?

"What are we going to do now? That's the damn system mission, there's only 6 days left..."

Qiao Mai stared at Tie Wu in a solemn tone. The system mission is like a knife that hangs over the heads of all players.

"Don't worry, for now, all the players in this map, the task should be to collect space-time dust, we will always have a chance later..."

"It's imperative that we first get a background for the characters, otherwise we won't be able to survive here..."

"Hehe, it's good that you have a goal..."

As the conversation ended, the two stepped out of the dark woods and stood in the sunlight again. The roaring pirate ships in the distance and the chaotic battle scenes foreshadowed that today was not destined to be an ordinary day.
