PS: The collection still hasn't broken 500, it doesn't seem to be on the home page, and the number of people who can see it is limited after all. However, the fourth watch is still presented as a holiday benefit!

――――――――――――――――――

There was nothing more cruel than Renault's speculation, the four thought at once.

Seeing that Haihu and the others showed a decadent look, Renault comforted: "Two years is enough, you see, in just one month, aren't there many of us who have already reached level 20?" As far as I know, the player level cap in Genesis is 99. As long as we make good use of each day, we will reach the full level in less than two years. When the time comes, as long as you defeat the final boss, you will be able to return to the real world smoothly. Besides, my speculation is only speculation, after all, I have only been in Ebudra for two days, and when I return today, if the number displayed in the clock tower is not '663', my conjecture will be completely overturned. ”

The sea tiger grabbed the last piece of scorpion meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it vigorously, ending the hearty breakfast before saying, "The leader is right, no matter what, we can only move forward, not backward." Zhan Mu, we must not have this kind of luck in the future, there is no way back behind us, and I promise you that in the end we will be able to return to this world safely. ”

Haihu's short speech re-aroused the fighting spirit of several people, there is still a long way to go, when is the end ahead, Renault can't help but be a little at a loss.

……

The efforts of the past six days have not been in vain, except for Renault, the level of Zhan Mu and the others has quickly risen to level 20, and the Sea Tiger, who has been accumulating soul power, has also increased his strength, speed, and physique by two levels at the same time early this morning. In fact, with Haihu's strength at this stage, there is no need to rush to upgrade, he can still use the 20% soul power bonus brought by the difference in level.

However, the Sea Tiger believes that the upgrade can be inspiring, and after Renault uttered the terrifying conjecture, the three of Jin Hongming were a little distracted, lacking confidence in the future victory. As the former team leader, Haihu still attaches great importance to teammates who share life and death. While doing so will inevitably reduce today's gain by 20%, given that today is the last day of leveling and that the Sea Tigers will have to go through this upgrade process after returning to Ebudera, it is only a day earlier to complete this stage.

After packing up the dining tools, Haihu carried a double axe and asked Renault: "Are you still practicing in this area today?" ”

Renault was silent, just clicked on the electronic map, and enlarged the ricochet map in front of him to the maximum effect of the whole map. The four of them saw that the huge electronic map was divided into two colors, black and yellow, representing the unknown territory and the known area respectively, and the battle progress in the past six days, it stands to reason that the whole map of the desert secret realm should have been explored a long time ago, but the area they touched was less than a quarter of it.

Jin Hongming saw the problem and said: "The area of the conventional map is the same, and it shouldn't take much time for a flat river like the Desert Secret Realm to unfold the whole map, even if it is a complex terrain like a continuous mountain range, as long as you have the heart, you can see the whole picture in three days at most." Why have we been fighting for six days and there are so many places we haven't visited? ”

Jin Hongming's thoughts coincided with Renault's, he raised his finger and gestured a few times in the black area of the map, and said to Jin Hongming: "You are right, these days I have a plan to explore unknown areas while leveling, even if the itinerary is delayed due to leveling, there will not be so many unknown areas." It seems that the desert is much more vast than we think. ”

Sea Tiger pointed to the red highlight on the icon: "This is where we are, there is still a long way to go to the exit due east, to get back to Ebudra before dark, we should go east to level up." ”

Several people nodded yes, but Renault pursed his lips and thought about it, his fingertips were heavily dotted in the center of the map, and due to excessive force, the electronic map caused a small ripple because of this small action: "Just go there." ”

The center of the map was surrounded by a cloud of darkness thicker and thicker than the other unknown realms, and the location of the five Renaults was not far from the center, but it was a little far away.

Haihu said: "In that case, we will have to walk a little longer to go back." ”

Renault is very resolute, and the four of them have no choice, and now Renault is the backbone of this team. I just don't understand why the boss insists so much on going to the dark center that has not yet been opened.

said let's go, the five of them are still the pioneers of the sea tiger, and the queen of Renault. In fact, in the desert secret realm, several people have not seen other monsters, and the passive attack monster of the desert red scorpion does not need to maintain such a vigilant formation, but it is still under the strong request of Renault, and it has continued to this day. The four of them admired Renault's strength, but they were a little afraid to compliment him for being so cautious, and they always felt that this demon swordsman leader was making a fuss.

Renault felt an indescribable sense of disobedience in his heart, feeling that the Desert Secret Realm was a special existence compared to regular maps. I can't say what is so special about it. A combination of factors, such as a single entrance, an unusually large area, a single monster species, and an unconventional passive attack setting...... Listing them separately may not be unusual, but when they are combined, it is not a coincidence. Renault believes in his sixth sense, especially after experiencing purgatory. His instincts told him that the thick darkness surrounding the center of the map was the key to the truth.

There is not a long way to go from the destination, and the five people who have long been accustomed to the desert environment are not much slower than on a flat road. It didn't take long, and the distance of ten kilometers was covered in half an hour.

Seeing that the red highlight sign on the electronic map was close to the center, even the sea tiger sighed "today is really smooth". Renault also wondered, today is too smooth, it takes at least an hour to walk the same distance in the past, and even an hour and a half if you are unlucky, why is it so fast today?

Jin Hongming was the first to give the answer: "Because I didn't meet a desert red scorpion on the road." ”

The demon swordsman who was in charge of the rear of the palace was not responsible for cleaning up the remnants of the battlefield.

The distribution of monsters in the secret realm is chaotic, and there is no specific rule that works, but one thing is certain, and that is that the empty space between monsters will not exceed one kilometer. Like the situation where there is not a single red scorpion in ten kilometers, several people have never encountered it.

Renault: "Something is wrong. ”

The thick Zhan Mu said nonchalantly: "Maybe it's the legendary ghost cliff, the red scorpion doesn't dare to approach." Haha......"

The sea tiger mercilessly gave the shield warrior a burst: "What nonsense? Could it be that the scorpion is still afraid of ghosts! ”

Zhan Mu touched the place where he was faintly beaten, and looked at the former boss with an innocent expression.

But seeing that Ge Lan, who had been silent all the way, had a nervous face, raised his hand and pointed horizontally ahead, with a trilling voice that didn't know whether it was surprise or fear, and said, "Look, what is that?" ”

Everyone looked in the direction of their fingers, only to see the faint morning light sprinkled in every corner of the desert, reflecting the bright gold of clouds on countless fine sands, but in the distance it was a different scene, the horizon was surrounded by thick clouds that could not be dissolved, but they did not know whether the clouds were born from the warm morning sun, or if they were originally there.

A spectacle that has never been seen before, everyone was speechless for a long time, and finally Jin Hongming stammered: "It's difficult...... Is it a mirage? ”

No one has ever seen a mirage, and how can urban youth living in the 22nd century have the opportunity to go to the desert area to see the wonders of the mirage, besides, the mirage is not something that can be seen if you want to see it.

"No," Renault was quick to dismiss the baseless speculation, "a mirage is a product of the refraction of light, and the mirage in the desert should have something to do with the irregular density of air produced by the high temperatures." You see, the temperature is right here, and the air is not distorted. And I've heard that a mirage should reflect all kinds of non-existent scenes, which will be cloudy. ”

Although Haihu and the others were not as knowledgeable as Renault, they also knew that the mirage was too absurd. What is the reason for the clouds in the desert, or take a closer look. However, some people oppose the idea of the sea tiger, believing that the more strange the phenomenon, the more danger lies ahead, and it is wise to turn around and return.

"Ge Lan, are you scared?" The sea tiger leaves no stone unturned.

Ge Lan was slightly angry: "Boss, you know me, how many times have I been born and died without me, but ......"

"Don't be afraid of death." The sea tiger interrupted his companion's explanation, "Let's go." ”

The tall and burly body took a firm step, without a trace of hesitation, towards the unknown fog. Because he also knows that the unknown and the danger are twin brothers. However, as soon as they solve the unknown, they have one more chance of leaving this damn game. If Renault's speculation is true, then now, like other players, there is no way back, and only by moving forward bravely and defeating all the enemies that stand in their way can they return to the present world.
