Chapter 20: The New World
In the blue sky, the stars are shining.
It was a withered yellow earth, with no grass, no flowers, no trees, and as far as the eye could see, it was desolate, flat as far as the eye could see, with the occasional boulder scattered in between.
A huge crack, thousands of meters deep, stretched across this land, like a huge scar, coming from the edge of the sky, spreading to the other side of the world, breaking the waist of this land.
In some places, cliffs rise for thousands of meters, dropping a stone, and it takes several minutes before the echo of the landing can be heard.
This is the Great Rift Valley.
It's late at night.
……
A golden light broke through the clouds and slammed into the ground like lightning, and then slowly dissipated, revealing a figure inside.
"Whew! Finally leaving that damn Lawson plane, the dusk plane, familiar as in my own home, here I am! ”
Just after crossing the incomparably long distance in the astral boundary, walking out of the plane passage, his brain was still a little dizzy, Lin Yang stretched his arms, his eyes were slightly closed, and he took a few deep breaths.
"That's not right!" Sniffing his nose vigorously, feeling that the surroundings seemed a little strange, and there was no familiar smell of earth, Lin Yang opened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim, "This ...... This is definitely not the Plane of Twilight! This Great Rift Valley...... This terrain is so magical, if it were the Dusk Plane, I would never have heard of it! Oh my God, something went wrong on the way? What kind of place did I go? ”
He looked up at the starry sky.
It was late at night, the darkest part of the day, and there was no moon in the deep blue sky, only a few faint bits of starlight.
Lin Yang frowned, stared at the sky for a long time, and suddenly discovered an unfortunate truth.
"There are no crystal walls in this plane!" Lin Yang exclaimed: "Without the crystal wall, there will be no kingdom of God, and if there is no kingdom of God, then there will be no faith and true God in this plane!" And there is no plane with crystal walls...... Except for some special planes, there are only half planes! Oh my God, did I come to an unknown half-plane? ”
A distinct feature of the half-plane, compared with the secondary plane and the primary plane, is that there is no crystal wall.
Without a crystal wall, it can only be completely exposed to the astral boundary, floating alone in the void, receiving the baptism and torture of the astral storm all the time. Therefore, the half-plane also has a characteristic, it appears quickly, and the annihilation is also fast, basically the volume is not too large, at most it is equivalent to a small and medium-sized country in the Lawson plane, and under normal circumstances, basically the half-plane is only as big as a small island.
"It seems that this half-plane is quite large, and it shouldn't die out in a short time......" Lin Yang couldn't help but shake his head, he remembered an incident he had encountered during a certain closed test, which simply made people laugh and cry.
At that time, Lin Yang used the code to directly teleport to a certain half-plane.
That half-plane, the size of an island, was facing an astral storm that would shatter the sky and the earth, and the earth would decompose, and it was about to die.
And Lin Yang, it was in this situation that he entered that "terrifying" half-plane, and was swept into deep space by the raging astral storm, and was instantly killed in an instant, even if he turned on the teleportation, he had no chance to use it.
"Forget it, it must be the ghost of the altar again, since they have already arrived here, there is no way to leave except to find another dimensional passage, let's take a look at the surrounding situation first, I hope you don't even see a ghost......" Saying this, Lin Yang walked farther and farther along one side of the Great Rift Valley.
……
After walking for about a few days, even Lin Yang himself didn't know how far the road had gone, it was estimated that it was not less than 100 kilometers, and there was still a yellow and desolate land along the way, without a trace of green plants, except for a large rift valley that never saw the end, and there was no other foil.
On this day, the sun was in the sky, the temperature was hot and dry, and there was a team of people in front of me.
Lin Yang hurriedly chased after it, this was a small caravan, he was surprised to find that the small caravan from the grooms, guards, mercenaries, guides, and even the leader, was actually all elves, with pointed ears, handsome faces, gorgeous costumes, and elegant demeanor, which couldn't help but make people fascinated.
Seeing Lin Yang, a human, the elves also seemed to be very surprised, but they were quickly replaced by hospitality, and the two sides immediately became acquainted and walked together.
"So, you're a plane traveler from another plane?" Messi, the leader of the caravan, rode a steed, walked in the front, smiled and said, speaking a plane lingua franca quite fluently.
"Not bad." Lin Yang nodded in acknowledgment, and then asked, "Can you tell me about this plane?" ”
"As you can see, this plane has no crystal walls, it is a half-plane, called the hive plane."
"Hive plane?"
"Isn't it a terrible name? No way, it was a different name a long time ago, and then everyone called it that, so it has been handed down. It is said that the name is related to this rift valley......" Messi smiled mysteriously.
"Something to do with the Great Rift Valley?" Lin Yang was gradually aroused.
"Well, it's about war between the two races, and a truce." Messi said thoughtfully, as if he remembered some history.
"I want to hear about it."
The two of them rode two horses and walked at the front of the caravan, with the boundless desolate land on the left and the cliffs of the Great Rift Valley on the right.
The hive plane is very large in the half-plane, and the whole presents a long continent, which is cut off by the Great Rift Valley in the middle, as if it is a caterpillar cut across the board.
This end of the Great Rift Valley is the territory of the elves, and there are a total of five elven tribes of nature, darkness, mountains, caves, and sacredness to form an alliance, with the holy elves as the leader, and the elven royal court has been established.
The other side of the Great Rift Valley is the territory of the Zerg, and the specific situation of the Zerg is not something that a small person like Messi can understand, so Lin Yang can't ask anything.
With the Great Rift Valley as the center, a long time ago, wars often broke out between the elves and the Zerg, and I don't know how many people died in the Lundao, and the area around the Great Rift Valley was so desolate, perhaps it was caused by the war.
A thousand years ago, the two clans realized that the harm of a long-term war far outweighed the benefits, so they signed a famous "truce agreement".
For a thousand years, the two powerful forces of elves and zergs will no longer cross the Great Rift Valley and kill each other. Since then, there has been a brief tranquility on this continent, and the two races have not interfered with each other and have multiplied to this day.
Lin Yang heard a little bit of other things, for example, there seemed to be only two races in this continent, elves and zergs, and they would occasionally see other races, so when they saw Lin Yang, a "human", they would show that kind of surprised expression.
"Where are you going?" Lin Yang asked suddenly.
"Rift City." Messi happily told him.
"What kind of city is that?"
"It sits in the heart of the Great Rift Valley, and for a long time, it has been secretly and quietly restricting and balancing the two races. Speaking of Rift Valley City, Messi's face slowly filled with admiration.
"Hearing you say that, I'm really eager to see Rift Valley right away."
Three days later, in the Great Rift Valley, a huge city with a magnificent shore appeared before them.
……
Along a gap in the cliff, the caravan slowly entered the Great Rift Valley, where the terrain was flat and extremely open, and it took a long distance before finally arriving at Rift City.
The hundred-meter-high city wall, the nearly ten-meter-thick wall, the watchtowers, crossbow machines, and magic towers that can be seen everywhere, Lin Yang was stunned for a while, and it really deserved to be an iron wall.
Entering Rift Valley City, Lin Yang separated from the caravan and walked leisurely on the wide streets, he was surprised to find that this city was really special, the local residents and travelers, in addition to the elves, there were actually Zergs, and the two races lived in harmony, as if there was no atmosphere of sworn enemies and old enemies at all!
In addition, after really seeing the Zerg, Lin Yang only understood a little bit what kind of race the so-called Zerg was.
To give a few examples, as far as what Lin Yang has seen, some have the body of an insect and a human head, some have a human body, the limbs of a reptile, and some are more complex, which are completely a mixture of several races, and so on.
In the crowd ahead, a few people appeared in the shadows.
There are no elf pointed ears, and there are no insect organs, and several people are human beings like Lin Yang.
"And it's a player!" Lin Yang immediately judged the identities of these people, but he didn't expect that there were players like him, who came to this half-plane by mistake, and he began to evaluate the level of these people, but fortunately, they were only at more than a hundred levels, similar to himself, and there were no ** guys like the Legend of the Holy Domain.
However, the next scene surprised Lin Yang.
"This place is completely no different from the last time I came!" Among the several players, someone complained.
"How long ago was the last time you were here? At that time, it was still in closed beta, the game was not open at all, and now it is only a short time of open beta, how much difference do you say it will be! "Someone raised the bar.
"That's it, what's more, how many people will know that there is a shocking secret hidden here, and they rushed over? It is estimated that now, the vast majority of people are rushing to explore those so-called main planes! Haha......"
"Don't say it, if it weren't for Brother Lin Xiao, who had gone through many closed tests and traveled to countless planes, just a few of us, how could we discover the special features of this half-plane?"
After speaking, these people, with admiration in their eyes, looked at a figure in front of them.
This is a young man, gorgeously dressed and polite, he turned his head, smiled, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, what should you do, time is precious." ”
……
At this moment, Lin Yang's state of mind can only be described as frightened.
These people, all of them are veteran players who have gone through the closed beta, and at least they have also experienced a closed beta!
This half-plane, seemingly simple, is actually very likely to hide some shocking secrets!
They're getting ready to do something out of the ordinary!
"This man named Lin Xiao has the same surname as me, he must not be underestimated, this person is by no means simple......" Just by investigating from afar, Lin Yang realized that these people were not fuel-efficient lamps, especially their leader Lin Xiao. Any veteran player who has participated in the closed beta is a nail in the iron plate, and can use the innate familiarity with certain planes to do all kinds of layout and planning, for example, for example, Chrisna in the Lawson plane.
And Lin Yang, if he can reach the dusk plane, with his intimate knowledge of the dusk plane, he can also mix the wind and water.
A few minutes later, the gang disappeared into the sea of people.
Lin Yang was struggling in his heart, if he kept up with them, whether he joined them or lurked in the dark, he would gain a little bit, maybe he would be able to get some big secret treasure in the end, of course, the process would definitely be extremely dangerous, this was all a closed beta veteran player, and it would be a situation where his belongings were searched by others.
And if you give up, it's a bit of a pity, the plane that old players fancy can be as bad as it is? If there weren't anything of the same level as artifacts or godheads, they wouldn't be plotting here.
Just when Lin Yang was in a dilemma, his right arm suddenly burned and ached, and the voice of Huo'er sounded in his heart: "I feel that you are struggling in your heart." ”
"Fire? Are you finally awake? Can it come out? Lin Yang asked with some concern.
"I'm afraid I'll have to rest for a while, the yin qi of that altar is too heavy, and it will have a great impact on me." Huo'er said in Lin Yang's heart: "Is there anything you have been worried about lately? ”
"No, it's just that suddenly there's a choice that's hard to decide."
"Oh? What was decided? ”
"On one side is a mountain of gold and silver, but there is an evil dragon guarding it; On the other side is a flat avenue, but there are no treasures. Saying that, Lin Yang sighed.
"I'll choose the flat road!" Huo'er said cheerfully.
"For what?" Lin Yang was stunned.
"What's so good about the Golden Mountain and Silver Mountain, if the evil dragon is guarding the golden liquid, then I will still consider thinking about it!" Huo'er smiled innocently.
"I'm ...... dizzy"
In the end, Lin Yang weighed again and again and chose a flat avenue.
