The ruins of the ancient kingdom are an old map that has existed since the opening of the AO server, and it is a country destroyed by war called the Kingdom of Arota. Its king, obsessed with immortalizing his country and looking for greater power, went to war, eventually causing public outrage and being wiped out by the elites sent by the Coalition Army, now in ruins.

Influenced by the mysterious powers that King Arota found in the past, the souls and bones of the dead here have turned into monsters.

After eating at noon, Xia Chiyu and Xiaoyu met in the game and went to the ruins of the ancient country.

Far away, they could see the ruins of an eerie ancient city in front of them, the walls of which were in tatters, the gates wide open, the moat long since dried up, and the entire ancient city shrouded in a purple mist.

"Wow...... This area feels so eerie. Although he said this, Xiaoyu was very excited, and there were various five-pointed star symbols above his head.

"What is this?" Xia Chiyu asked, pointing to a drop of cold sweat on the corner of his forehead.

"Oh, this is a new mood system. When friends communicate, these symbols will float up depending on their mood. My expression shows that I am very excited, and your cold sweat shows that you are a little helpless. Xiaoyu said with a smile, and then seemed to suddenly notice, frowned and said, "Why are you helpless?" It's not because of me, is it? ”

Xia Chiyu pursed his lips slightly and didn't answer, but continued: "Isn't this system unblockable?" People sometimes want to hide their feelings, it's so easy to be seen through, it's a little insecure. ”

"Yes, you can choose to turn it off in the friend settings. However, there is a friend intimacy system in this game, and if two people are together often, the intimacy will increase. If you increase it to a certain level, this can't be hidden, unless you delete your friends. Xiaoyu muttered, "But I think if it's really that close, deleting friends is too much." ”

"That's right...... Be careful, you're going to get into the ruins. Xia Chiyu said, releasing the Holy Blessing enchantment on Xiaoyu's weapon, which can cause a certain amount of divine damage when dealing with undead creatures, and divine damage has a 100% bonus to undead and demonic creatures, so the damage of this skill is much higher than the skill description.

Then there's the Wind Walk, which can fly in the air, and although the flight speed is much slower than that of the physics profession flying with Dou Qi, the advantage is that the cost is very low. Then Xia Chiyu gave Xiaoyu the stone armor technique to increase defense and the holy light technique to slowly regenerate blood, and then approached under the city wall.

"It's a really nice atmosphere." Xiaoyu looked at this monument excitedly and muttered.

"You're really not afraid at all, girl. But let me warn you, we're just farming on the periphery. There are level 40 to 50 monsters and level 60 or so dungeons in the depths of this monument, so don't mess around. Xia Chiyu said, pointing ahead, "And there will be monsters here anytime and anywhere, and if you are not careful, you may be killed." ”

Xiao Yu followed Xia Chiyu's direction, although they had not yet entered the city, in the pile of rubble under the ruined city wall, some soldiers wearing armor had already stood up.

"Understood!" Xiaoyu said, rushing forward, her long sword was also transformed into a very delicate thin sword, not as huge and hideous as many male players use, slender and straight sword body, the gauntlet is double fishtail, each side is decorated with a ruby, and now after Xia Chiyu's magic blessing, the sword body glows with a faint golden light.

Xiaoyu rushed up and directly made the skeleton soldiers slash a sword. Fortunately, the skeleton soldier was only level thirteen, and Xiao Yu had Xia Chiyu's stone armor technique on his body, so he only deducted five percent of his health this time, and began to slowly recover.

"In the end, it's an ordinary player, and it's a mess." Xia Chiyu shook his head slightly and sighed.

Immediately, Xiaoyu swung her sword and slashed head-on at the skeleton soldier who attacked her, the skeleton soldier had armor, this sword did not cut it in two, it stopped at the skeleton soldier's chest, and the skeleton soldier's health was deducted by more than 50%. But a golden light spread out from Xiao Yu's sword, and then the skeleton soldier's health quickly shrank to zero, and his body fell apart.

"Hmph, what, I'll die with a knife, let you know how powerful my sister is." Xiaoyu smiled proudly.

When I came up, I was stabbed by someone, and I was proud. Xia Chiyu muttered to himself, a drop of cold sweat slid down from the corner of his forehead. Xiaoyu turned his head and pointed at Xia Chiyu and said angrily: "You are in a cold sweat again...... What are you doing! Can't people stink and be beautiful! Dislike! ”

Xia Chiyu ignored her, just pointed to the front and said with a flat face: "Let's hurry in, these white-bone soldiers outside the city wall can't be killed, and they will be resurrected infinitely." And you only have experience when you kill it the first time, and you don't have experience later. ”

"Oh......" Xiaoyu muttered, and walked towards the city gate with Xia Chiyu.

The two of them made their way through the rubble and cleared out some of the low-level skeletons. If you find the right place at this level, the upgrade is still very fast, and the experience required to increase the level in the later stage is higher, and the monster AI also becomes higher, and it will become extremely difficult to level up.

"The upgrade here is really fast, the monsters keep brushing." Xiaoyu slashed the leg of one of the skeletons that was swaying towards her, and then slashed its head with a single sword.

"Yes, undead creatures generally don't have much health, and they don't move too fast, the only advantage is that they are numerous. A support with a swordsman, which can achieve low consumption and high damage, and can be brushed all the time without restoring. Xia Chiyu explained.

As he spoke, Xia Chiyu waved his hand and released several light bullets, scattering a skeleton soldier. The damage count of low-level magic will increase with the player's level, and although it is still not as good as the high-level skill in the end, it is better to have a lower cost.

Now Xia Chiyu is level ten, and his ability value has been increased to 5 physique, 10 agility, 15 spiritual power, 5 strength, 20 spirit, and 25 skills, plus the robe dropped by the sheep-headed demon before, adding two points of spiritual power and a little skill, and now his magic value is enough to throw thirty or forty glowing bullets. And relying on the bonus of light magic to undead creatures, five or six glowing bullets can solve a skeleton soldier, so he can also fight with Xiaoyu on the side, and occasionally make up for auxiliary magic.

The two of them kept brushing, and after more than an hour, Xia Chiyu was promoted to level twelve, and Xiaoyu was also level sixteen.

"Let's take a break, I'm tired after playing for so long." Xia Chiyu sighed and said.

Constant fighting and rushing will cause the player to have a negative effect of "fatigue", and after fatigue, the player's stats will decrease. If you don't take a break for a while, you will lose more and more attributes. At this time, just light a bonfire and rest for a while to eliminate the fatigue debuff, and eating and offline can speed up the elimination of fatigue.

"As long as you purify this place into a small area, you won't be able to spawn monsters for the time being. We have just come out of fatigue, and we should rest for fifteen minutes to get rid of it. Xia Chiyu said, using the purification technique to clear a small area, took out flint and velvet, lit a small bonfire, and sat on the ground with Xiaoyu.

"Now, here you go. It's a cook made by a friend in my club. Xiaoyu smiled and handed Xia Chiyu a small sandwich, "This can speed up the elimination of fatigue, and it can taste delicious food, and it won't gain weight, how good." ”

"Ah, thank you." Xia Chiyu took it, but he didn't remember to eat, but reached out to open his backpack, then took out the map and checked it and said: "The current level of the two of us, I remember that there should be a copy here that can be played, and after the fight, it should be able to upgrade two or three levels." However, the exact location of this copy is a little unclear...... Wait for me to look at the map. ”

"Copy? Is there a copy here? I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it. Xiaoyu asked a little puzzled, "And you see, if there is a copy here, there should be a lot of players here, but there are not many people here." We've been playing for so long, and we've seen a player, right? Or is it because ...... lost"

Xia Chiyu smiled slightly: "The history of AO not only records the background of AO, but also records many ways to weaken monsters, the possible weaknesses of various monsters, props to hide their aura from being discovered by monsters, and even unlocking methods to hide dungeons." The details of this game are actually far beyond imagination. ”

"Do you mean there's a hidden copy here? Did we get it? Xiaoyu said, taking a bite of the sandwich.

"It's very difficult to play normally, because it's a level 20 dungeon. Just a little trick will do. Xia Chiyu looked at the map and said, and also took a bite of the sandwich. Fresh and crisp lettuce, tomatoes with moderate sweetness and sourness, tender and crispy omelette, refreshing bacon and smooth cheese play a symphony in the mouth, it is really delicious.

"It's delicious......" Xia Chiyu couldn't help but sigh, and then he found Xiao Yu looking at him with a smile, after the two looked at each other, Xiao Yu pointed to the top of Xia Chiyu's head and said, "Look, you have love on the top of your head, I like it very much, right?" ”

"Sort of." Xia Chiyu pursed his lips and decided to block this expression system.

At this time, Xiaoyu suddenly moved to his side, and the two were almost stuck together, this girl also leaned her head over, and the little brain melon was attached to Xia Chiyu's face, and she glanced at the map in his hand: "Where is the copy?" ”

Because of AO's physics engine, Xia Chiyu could even feel the girl's hair rubbing a little bit on his face. He stretched out his hand and flicked it on Xiaoyu's head, as long as it didn't reach the point of pain, any feeling would be directly transmitted to the opposing player, so Xiaoyu grunted, covered his head and retreated: "What are you doing......"

"I remember here, but now that it's been revised, I don't know if it's not, anyway, when the fatigue is gone, I'll go and see it later." Xia Chiyu said and took another bite of the sandwich.

Although it tastes good, it doesn't feel real in your stomach after eating it, and it makes you hungrier. However, eating can speed up the elimination of fatigue, and it will be about seven or eight minutes before their fatigue is gone. The two began to walk towards the inner ring of the city.
