Chen Kai of Adria City may not be as familiar as the players who were born in this area later, but if it is said that Adria City's predecessor, Adria Town Chen Kai is definitely more familiar. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit the Wèn Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) because it was in this place when they were in closed beta, according to the region divided by country or region in the game, the Duchy of Anclo should belong to the real European Union, and the specific location should be Italy. But this is not the case, in fact, Chen Kai once paid special attention to the city where he had stayed in the closed beta, and also found that the system has special preferential treatment for this place or likes to prank.
While everyone thought that the city was supposed to belong to the Italian Quarter, the system threw players from Rome, the capital of Italy, and Jerusalem, another controversial and religious city, into the Adriatic. The real-life inhabitants of the Holy Land of Judaism and Islam and the seat of the Pope collide in the game, resulting in the most religious conflict in the game, one of the most chaotic areas, but also one of the most formidable cities for the player.
In reality, players who have not been hostile to them because of religious and racial issues, because the ban on the use of force in reality can only vent the unfair treatment encountered in reality in the game. At first, it was the Arabs who attacked the Jews in reality, and then it was a vendetta between the two sides, and finally the pasta who remained neutral on the surface and secretly provoked the war was also involved. As a result, the sad pasta was turned over by the red-eyed sides, and then things could not have gone more smoothly, and the entire Adriatic city became a terrifying killing ground for the three sides to fight fiercely. Any slogan of the Holy War and the Crusades can be heard here, and the most important point is that the Adria City Lord does not manage the city much due to physical reasons, causing the entire player outside the city to fall into an extremely disorderly state.
Because of mutual vendettas, the players who are in a state of excitement are constantly calling friends, and the speed of this calling is even more fierce than that of players in China. Players summoned in the name of religion did not rush over one by one, but a whole knight order. In less than three months of play, the wilderness around Adria is home to nearly a tenth of the players from the countries of Central Asia and the Mediterranean. Players in the Mediterranean are mostly affluent, and many players are middle-class players who bought helmets or life support pods to enter the game at the beginning of the game, but it is some people in Central Asia who are really wealthy. Those players who were originally oil tycoons in their families, even if oil extraction is now depleted, the wealth left by their ancestors is enough for them to squander for a lifetime. So they are not afraid of spending money at all, and after being abused in the game, they directly paid for it and hired a large number of refugees outside the game to enter the game to help kill them back. These real-life people who were forced to suffer by the war broke out with extremely terrifying ferocity after entering the game, and they formed the most terrifying Holy Islamic Army in Adriatic, and they basically adopted a hostile attitude towards players from any non-Islamic country, and this also led to the Holy Islamic Army in the game being systematically recognized as an evil force.
However, the players of the Holy Islamic Army, who were identified by the system as an evil force, directly accepted the recognition of the system, and more directly they directly threw away the gods in the game, moved the gods in reality into the game, and established the first mosque in the game. To the surprise of many players, the mosque built by the player was directly recognized by the system, and at the same time, it also attracted the favor of a god who may have been the main god, and this god called himself Allah in the same name as the gods of Islam. The appearance of this deity made the Islamic religious elements in reality very dissatisfied, believing that it was an act of blasphemy, but the game company said that the fact that this deity was a body of thought generated by the strong belief of religious believers, and that it was just a false god born from the sustenance of faith by the system.
Another reason for those religious elements to give up the prosecution is that the game company issued the first explanation through the system, that is, the false gods born can become the main gods through the worship of believers, which makes the Muslims who do not see miracles in reality more fanatical to build mosques and spread the faith in the game. At the same time, there are other religions in reality that follow suit, but the only ones that give birth to false gods are Christianity and Islam, because these two sects have the most people but only believe in one god, and the region where these two false gods are now located is Adriatic.
So when Chen Kai knew that the city outside the forest was Adria, he was entangled, because as believers in the Lord of Dawn or as believers in the gods in the game, it was very dangerous for them to enter the current Adria. At this moment, Adria has been completely divided into chaotic and evil areas in the system division, although the beliefs established by the two false gods in reality both advocate good and just and other beautiful creeds, but in the game, the two god believers are all religious fanatics without exception. They are hostile to each other and extremely xenophobic, and as for Adria's original inhabitants and temple, they have long since fled due to the player's killing of each other, so it can be said that Adria is the first city to belong to the player. It's just that this city has basically been destroyed, according to the information that Chen Kai and they learned, the production level in Adria has basically fallen to an extremely low level, if it weren't for the player support of the surrounding cities, it is estimated that the two sides of the battle would have starved to death.
"What now? Adria isn't a good place right now! Chen Kai showed the map to the others, and said slowly, the truth is that there is actually a question in his heart, that is, the current Adria already belongs to the player, how can there still be a high-level aboriginal great mentor mage staying in Adria. However, Chen Kai later learned that a large number of aborigines moving out of Adriatic Town did not mean that the official in the game had abandoned the city, but just to prepare for the later purge of players. Although the system acknowledges that players can live their lives freely in the game, it is clear that the player behavior of Adria City has touched the bottom line of the original inhabitants of the system. Regardless of who is right and who is wrong in killing each other in the game, the mere act of building temples of false gods and shaping false gods out of faith is not allowed by the gods in the system. It's just that the Duchy of Anclo does not belong to a country with relatively strong military strength, and his army has no way to fight against hundreds of thousands of players, and the most important point is that players will not die, and they can be resurrected in just a few hours, and they can completely rely on the tactics of crowds to kill soldiers below the Holy Rank.
"It's not a good place, we have to go! It's not necessarily much safer in the forest than Adriatic City, and I don't think the Adriatic people will have much energy to deal with us right now! Xu Fei pointed to the tomb on the ground and said, no one will be stupid enough to start infighting again in the face of the terrifying beast tide, even if the players of Adria City are not in the same heart, unless they are willing to abandon the forces they have built up in the game, or those fanatical players in the game are willing to abandon their gods and run away. So whether it's for self-preservation or something else, Adriatic players now have only two options: either flee for their lives or unite against the massive beast tide. So Xu Fei's statement is very reasonable, and it is easy to get everyone's approval.
"Let's not think about what kind of situation Adria is like just yet, boss! Let's think about how to get out of the forest first, don't you realize that this map is incomplete? There's a chunk missing here! Fei Yun pointed to the defaced area of the map and said, originally Chen Kai thought that it was just blood stains that would be easily washed away. It was possible to dispose of the bloodstains with either spells or drugs, but after trying it, Fei Yun found that the map smudges had nothing to do with the bloodstains. It was a tiny amount of aggressive droplets, somewhat similar to digestive juices, and the area destroyed by the droplet was exactly the route of the map. So the question Chen Kai and the others are facing now is not what will happen to Adria, but how to go to Adria. It didn't seem very realistic to start discussing what would happen before they even arrived, because they didn't know what was going on with Adria right now.
"How can this be!" Chen Kai picked up the map in Fei Yun's hand and stayed for a minute, although he knew that the map was Adria City, but in fact, their current location was at least hundreds of kilometers away from Adria City. Because the area they are in is in the depths of the lost forest outside the Adriatic city, or in the great primeval forest that connects the other countries. The environment in the game is far better than it really is, because more than two-thirds of the entire continent is covered by forests or grasslands, and although there are deserts in between, the forest area is absolutely terrifying. Players always think that they have gradually learned about the game world, but when the unknown areas are displayed in front of them, they are sadly surprised to find that they have no understanding of how big the game world is.
"Let's go along the route we can see first!" In the end, Chen Kai and the others used many methods to repair the defaced area of the map, although they already knew that their location was the Lost Forest around Adria. But it was precisely because they were in the Lost Forest that they needed a map, because they were so far away from Adriatic City. In the absence of a systematic map, you can only rely on the defaced map to determine your location.
Although Chen Kai and the others got a map, they still didn't give up the idea of finding those followers or following the mage to the warriors in the forest. It's just that with the discovery of broken and dried corpses, Chen Kai no longer had much hope of finding the survivors, and they were not very hopeful of finding a complete map. Although they found several corpses, not all of them carried maps, and even if they did, the defaced version of the map was even stricter than the one Chen Kai and they had obtained in the first place. At the same time, the discovery of these maps also brought another problem to Chen Kai and his team, that is, the map they found first was not necessarily accurate, because after piecing together the defaced map, in addition to the defaced and missing places, there were more than 20 areas with different numbers.
This may be due to the fact that the person who drew the map did not take the same route, or that it was the natural characteristics of the Lost Forest. In the end, Chen Kai and the others synthesized the areas marked by the incomplete map, and relied on these areas to outline a relatively complete map, but no one knew whether the map was accurate or not.
It was only the map that scared Chen Kai and the others, because they didn't encounter a single magical beast when they were walking in the forest. In this terrifying vast forest, it is absolutely impossible to have a single magical beast, and what is even more terrifying is that there are almost only some extremely weak animals left in the entire forest, as long as the beasts with a little attack ability have disappeared. Although Chen Kai and the others had already posted on the Internet that there might be a beast tide around Adriatic City, this post was rarely paid attention to and was quickly drowned in the vastness. However, on the ninth day when Chen Kai and the others fell into the Lost Forest, when they found the fifth marker and were less than a hundred kilometers away from the exit of the Lost Forest, a piece of news broke out that Chen Kai and the others had already known but shocked them even more. A beast tide broke out around Adria City, and not only in Adria City, but also in the entire Ancolo Principality, which connected to the Lost Forest.
In less than a day, three tier 4 towns were razed, and Adriatic barely managed to defend it with the newly built walls and nearly a million players in the city, but more than half a million players had died in a single round. The most important thing is that among the demonic beasts involved in the attack on Adriatic City, there are no eighth-order or higher demonic beasts, and most of the attacks are the cannon fodder class that rushes to the front. But even if it is the cannon fodder class, the player has not killed much, and the corpses of the Warcraft and Beasts left outside the entire Adriatic City do not add up to 100,000, even if some have been eaten by the Warcraft itself, but the players have more casualties than the Warcraft, that's for sure. This is not to blame the players for being weak, but because when Adria was attacked, the players happened to be in the time of the weekly crusade, and a large group of people fought for a mining area located a few kilometers outside of Adriatic City, and all of them were swallowed up by the tide of beasts. The dead player didn't have time to send a message to the players in the city to call the police, and when the humans of Adria saw the Beast Tide, the Beast Tide's front was less than ten kilometers away from the city.
In fact, the loss of Adria's players will not be so big, the key is that they have no concept of the beast tide, and as a result, a group of people ran out to fight with the monster. Maybe they want to prove their courage in front of their beliefs, but many people see what they do and directly label them as brain-dead. Fortunately, the brain-dead Adriatic Guardians were outnumbered, and millions of them managed to hold the city tenaciously. However, although they held on, everyone knew that it was only temporary, because high-level Saint-Rank Demonic Beasts had appeared in other bulldozed cities, and there were not many Saint-Rank powerhouses in Adria at this moment. Even if there were some aboriginal powerhouses who stayed in Adria in the past, they would have long since fled back to Ankolo's capital.
In fact, the dead adventurers they met had left Adria several months ago, and they had been in the Lost Forest for a long time, and finally they were unlucky enough to encounter the beast tide. If it weren't for that, maybe the maps of these adventurers wouldn't have the city of Adria, because they wouldn't have used that city as a starting point.
However, although Chen Kai and the others already knew that Adriatic City had been attacked, they could only follow the established path, because they found that the closer they got to the exit of the Lost Forest, the surrounding environment became more complicated. When they were less than fifty kilometers away from the exit, a faint mist began to surround them, and the magic pointer in their hands began to gradually lose its effectiveness. In fact, many people have always thought that the range of the Lost Forest is only a few tens of kilometers, because many of them have no way to pass through this fog area and enter the forest area where Chen Kai and they fell. It can be said that Chen Kai and the others met that adventure group very strongly, they passed through many adventurers, and they never passed through the Lost Forest Misty Zone in their lives, but at the same time, they were also very unlucky because they died in the forest outside the Misty Zone.
In fact, after really stepping into the fog area, Chen Kai and the others realized how important the map in their hands was, and how terrible that part of the defaced area was. Because all the methods of identifying the direction in the fog zone are ineffective, the thick fog covering the forest sky obscures the sun and starlight, and the woody distribution of the trees growing in the forest is very even, and the light received is also very even, so it can be said that most of the methods of determining the direction are useless in the lost forest. But what made Chen Kai entangled was that the map was the most defective was this part, don't look at the map This area is only a few dozen kilometers, at most a distance of sixty kilometers, but many unlucky adventurers are lost in this area because they are lost. As for why it is said to be missing and not dead, it is because there is still food in this misty forest, and as long as you are not attacked by wild beasts or demonic beasts, you can definitely survive. There is an unlucky guy in history who successfully walked out of this misty forest with a width of less than 60 kilometers after disappearing for 22 years, of course, its length is definitely more than 60 kilometers, because when this unlucky guy walked out of the forest, it was more than 300 kilometers away from the place where he entered the forest, but it was these 300 kilometers that he walked for 22 years.
Chen Kai They don't want to be the unlucky ones who have been walking for 22 years, so they use their own system map to move, and players can be displayed with various light points on the system map. According to the method of sitting in rows, walk in the established direction little by little, and the people behind can monitor the direction of the people in front of them at any time with the help of the team channel, so that the other party can move forward in a straight direction. It's just that although this method is very effective, it is not only the labyrinth-like environment that threatens Chen Kai and them in the misty forest area, but also the demonic beasts in the edge of the forest. Yes! Although the beast tide has begun to spread to the interior of the Principality of Anclo, there are still many magical beasts in the edge of the forest, and there are many high-level Cunzài.
"Boss! Looks like our good luck is coming to an end! Fei Yun, who was walking a few kilometers at the front of the team, slowly conveyed such a message to Chen Kai and them with the help of the team channel, in front of him was a huge creature that slowly raised its body. In reality, such creatures will never exist, but in the game, creatures with a body length of more than ten meters are not uncommon, but monsters of this size are all terrifying.
