Chapter 14: The Outer Forest

Just after the four-person team of Ye Yichen and the others killed another wave of hidden arsonists, a commotion suddenly appeared in the depths of the red forest, and a large flock of flying birds took off in panic from the dark red jungle and dispersed in different directions.

The terrible roar seemed to have some kind of magic, and the moment the sound reached their ears, whether it was Ye Yichen or the "Bow and Arrow Don't Eat People" trio, they all had a feeling called "nausea" or "dizziness", and then they saw their stamina value drop down.

"Because of the large-scale killing of his own kind, the leader of the hidden arsonists in this area, the Chieftain of the Arsonist, is angry, and begins to track down the adventurers in the Red Forest and give revenge, triggering the quest: Forest of Wrath, quest requirements: within one hour of the game time, no one can leave the Red Forest, those who forcibly leave will be punished as death, the restriction will be lifted after killing the Arsonist Chief or surviving for one hour, and rewards will be obtained for completing any of the mission requirements."

The system's prompt slammed into the heads of all players active in the Crimson Forest area like a thunderbolt.

After the system prompt appears, a large number box appears in the view of all surviving players in the forest, "Current number of surviving players: 243. ”

Hearing this task, even Ye Yichen frowned, this game is really full of pits, and even large-scale monster farming will cause this special situation, it seems that the means to trigger the task in the barren era. There are so many novels that are terrifying.

Before the four of them could exchange views, the number "243" instantly dropped one downward, becoming "242", and a few seconds later, it became "241" again.

Obviously, two players may have been unlucky enough to run into the arsonist chief and be sent back to Polk Town.

In the Barren Age, the penalty for death is very large, not only deducting levels or experience, but also making players explode equipment and explosive items and money, and even in the game, "death" will not be a pleasant experience.

"Holy!" , The shield didn't smash people and scolded, obviously he didn't know that there would be such a weird situation, but he wouldn't put the blame on Ye Yichen, after all, this kind of development is unpredictable, and people have helped him and so on, and he can't pull his face to do ungrateful things.

The bow and arrow don't eat people's faces twitched, he just completed this damn job transfer task, he only needs to return to Lingyou City to submit, get the main class, and step into the middle and upper level of the current player group, maybe even use the momentum to rush to the level list.

But now, once this mission fails, then the job transfer task will be done in vain, and at the same time, the level will be dropped by one level, which is too great a loss.

Different from the panic of his two companions, "The Staff Doesn't Knock People" showed a calm and composure that was different from others, and whispered to Ye Yichen: "How is it, do you have a good way?" ”

Ye Yichen shook his head silently, the information he knew so far was too little, and he didn't know the location, damage, level, skills, etc., etc., so he couldn't think too much.

The staff touched his chin, just like Ye Yichen, even though he had always called himself a military advisor, he had no clue now.

"Let's go, let's go to the edge of the forest first." Ye Yichen said to the three of them, "Even if we can't leave the Red Forest, we should be able to find other players." ”

The spirits of the three of them were all lifted, Ye Yichen was right, the other players would definitely take the lead in moving to the edge of the forest, if they could join them, as long as there were enough people, it might really be possible to kill the arsonist chieftain.

As he spoke, the player's inventory changed again, falling from 241 to 237, almost instantly, and it was obvious that four players in a team were all killed in one go.

"Ahhh , and that kind of extremely ugly howl came, provoking the stamina value of the three people to drop again, hearing the sound was not far away, the four of them did not dare to delay at the moment, and quickly began to retreat, in case this monster howled a few more times, they would not even have a little stamina left, and then they could only lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

Maybe it's like the introduction to the fire elemental blades dropped by those arsonists, huh...... Bought and made into lamb by a bunch of bearded arsonists, oh no, human meat skewers, fragrant human meat skewers......

It's chilling to think about.

So, the "shield doesn't smash people" that is developing towards the meat shield, should open the way first, unlike the "Hurricane Young Master" who Ye Yichen has seen before who also uses a shield but has a bad personality, Brother Shield is very professional, and he is obviously also an experienced player in the game, with him in front of him to attract attention, coupled with Ye Yichen's instantaneous terrifying explosive power, as well as the long-range attacks of the staff and the bow and arrow, even if it encounters a monster in a group, as long as the number does not exceed four, it can be solved in a short time.

In this red forest, in addition to the strongest and largest number of hidden arsonists, there are also other different kinds of monsters, most of which have certain fire attributes, namely the "Red Phosphorus Cat Demon" who likes to hide in the grass and suddenly jump out to attack the player, the "Grumpy Hairy Monkey" who shrinks in the treetops all day long, and the relatively rare "Fire Poison Spider".

The red phosphorus cat demon has sharp teeth and claws, and when the claws are swung, it will bring out a flash of fire, and it will be burned when it hits, but their sneak attack will hardly work in front of Ye Yichen's eyes.

And the grumpy hairy monkeys, although the name is very domineering, but in fact they are just a group of monkeys who are very timid, and only dare to harass the player with stones, nuts and fireballs on the trees, which is a relatively harmless monster, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke it, it's no problem.

As for the fire poison spider, it is a more troublesome monster, the toxicity is amazing, not only the body is paralyzed and the movement is slowed down, but the health will also fall at a rate of two percent per second, lasting 15 seconds, and it also has the skill of spider silk, it is difficult to approach, but fortunately, several people are equipped with long-range weapons, and when they encounter two words, they will be sent directly to various attacks, and they will be beaten into a sieve on the spot.

In just ten minutes, the four of them reached the edge of the forest unharmed, and for a while, I don't know if the arsonist chief was doping, and the speed of the pursuit of players was significantly faster, and the remaining 241 players were actually reduced to 198, that is, in fifteen or sixteen minutes, it killed a full 43 players.

When the trees in front of the four of them began to thin out, they had already seen groups of three or five players, the levels of these players were uneven, from seven or eight to more than a dozen, and even the players who successfully changed classes had five or six, which seemed to be strong, but the panicked looks on the faces of these players all showed that the real situation might be much worse than they expected.

"Guys, what's going on with you, did you run into that boss?" , A mage who had already changed his position came over and asked the four of them, his level was actually level 15, which was the highest in the group now.

Ye Yichen shook his head, indicating that he didn't bump into it, and when the mage saw it, he sighed and said, "You guys are lucky, if you bump into it, you probably will go back to the city directly." Then, like four people, he sent out an invitation to form a team, saying, "Let's go to the big team." ”

The four of them looked at each other, then quit the original team and opened the team information column.

"The Daze God (Level 15 Elemental Master) has sent you an invitation to form a team, do you accept it?"

Ye Yichen was okay, the "magic staff" among the four immediately exclaimed, looked at the god of law in a daze with the eyes of an idol, and asked, "You are the god of law!" I'll go, O great god! ”

The god of law in a daze was stunned for a moment, and then touched the back of his head very embarrassedly, and said, "Well, it's me, but it's definitely not a great god, it's just that the level rushes faster." ”

After a polite gesture, the dazed mage put away his smile and took the lead to walk next to the group of players, beckoning to the four of them to come over, and he quickly got into the circle.

"Stupid, how's it going, four more?" , A fourteenth-level player in leather armor stood in the crowd and was talking to the players around him, and said hello when he saw the god of law in a daze, both of this player and the god of law were in their twenties, but in his hand was a stabbing sword, obviously a swordsman who took the agile route.

"You're stupid, you." , The two are obviously friends, and in the face of each other's ridicule, the daze god of law gave a recoiling blow, Ye Yichen noticed that the name of this high-level Min swordsman is: "I don't see the south wind", and his profession is a liulang warrior.

In the Barren Age, the choice of profession theoretically has infinite possibilities, on the basis of the basic Thief, Swordsman, Warrior, Berserker, Mage, Priest, Magician and Ranger several major classes, the system will automatically evaluate a player's usual game when the most prominent and outstanding points, and let you imperceptibly transform, when this transformation reaches a point, the original basic class will also be transformed, this transformation may appear soon, or it may be delayed for a long time, completely depending on the individual.

However, in the Barren Age, there is an unwritten law that the earlier a player's class trait appears, the more obvious and prominent the trait will be, and the more helpful it will be to the player, and the faster the player can get on the path of the trait.

"Alright, guys." , The god of law in a daze made a gesture to quiet the players around him, here he and the south wind are the highest level, and the two of them have a good reputation in the game world, so they should become leaders, just listen to this elemental master: "According to the information provided by the friends who just survived from the boss, the long-range ability of this arsonist chief is extremely powerful, and it is surrounded by a large number of mobs, and the throwing knives can cause explosions, and these throwing knives also have a certain tracking ability, and it is very difficult to clash head-on." ”

Seeing Nanfeng take his words, he said, "So, I want to ask for everyone's opinions, that is, do you want to take the initiative to attack, or defend on the spot at the edge of the forest?" ”

Speaking of this, Nanfeng looked at the number of players that had been reduced to 175, and frowned: "Everyone hurry up and draw conclusions, and we can also make countermeasures." ”

Those players immediately discussed one after another, there were many people who supported killing, but there were even more who supported defense, and as for those players who were thirteenth or thirteenth, they all gathered around the two who didn't see Nanfeng, not knowing what they were talking about.

At this moment, a slightly abrupt voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.

"You can't defend, you can't defend!" , the tone is calm and calm, but it is decisive, as if he is stating a fact.
