The fiery red sunlight stained the entire sky red, covering the lonely wasteland.

The wind howled, blowing the sand and blurring people's vision.

On a dry barren grassland, Yun Xiaotian was practicing alone the so-called twenty-four basic styles of the new swordsmanship taught to him by the Great Dream of Western Xia, his face was immature but resolute, and sweat was dripping and soaking his clothes.

Since he was a child, he has been extremely intelligent, and most of the things he can remember and understand most of them as long as he explains them once.

However, because his mother asked him to hide his ability, try to behave like the people around him, and let him not attract attention. And in this regard, he has always been very successful.

At school, he was the most ordinary child, his homework was not good or bad, and the test of swordsmanship and physical fitness was also ordinary.

As one of the few boarders in the school, he doesn't like to socialize because he is troublesome, so he also rarely has any good friends.

He was always alone, eating alone, sleeping alone, and to the whole world, he seemed to be a passerby who came and went in a hurry, as if it had always been and would be.

In school, he spent most of his time reading, from poetry and songs, literary novels, and even cutting-edge cosmology, energetics, mechanics, and elementary particle theory, which no one cared about. In fact, when he was still in Haitiecheng, as long as he could find a book that could interest him, he would have basically read it once. Some of the books may have been read casually, but thanks to his almost perverted memory, he seemed to be able to repeat them.

In fact, he should not have much interest in the cultivation of the original energy and the cultivation of martial arts, and before getting the information that his mother may have been killed, his ideal in life has always been to be a scholar who pursues the truth, a warrior who defends and develops the civilization of the human race.

Later, under the influence of Old Man Zhang, he gradually seldom continued to read books tirelessly to learn all kinds of knowledge and theories as before, but he felt that if he became a cook, he made delicious things for himself and others to eat every day, and looked at the satisfied smiling faces of others, it seemed that it might be a very good choice. As a teenager who has not yet grown up, his future is uncertain, and his interests may be erratic.

For example, now, Yun Xiaotian, who is practicing different sword styles, suddenly feels that practicing swords can be so interesting, and has entered a state of selfless trial, constantly creating various possible combinations of sword moves and swordsmanship by himself.

The sun sets and the moon rises, and soon the stars fill the entire sky above this virtual world.

There is no moon on Helen, only the stars in the distance.

Yun Xiaotian heard that there was a bright moon on the Taihe Star, and it flew around the Taihe Star day and night.

Although it is a virtual world, its time flow is the same as that of the outside world. Now the Helian Star has reached night, the time is not early, and several hours have passed since Yun Xiaotian entered here.

Yun Xiaotian was tired and hungry.

After finishing his sword practice, he withdrew from the closed dueling arena opened with the Great Dream of Western Xia and returned to the main world of wilderness fighting.

Bright moonlight and stars, like light bulbs installed in the sky, illuminate the entire virtual world. The road covered by Asakusa has a bonfire every 100 meters, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see the road clearly.

Yun Xiaotian received a message from Haishan and called him to join him on Alcatraz Island, and he needed to find the nearest teleportation tower to get there.

The world of wilderness fighting is too vast, and under Yun Xiaotian's estimation, all the regions it adds up may be larger than the entire Sea Lotus Star in the real world.

Cities of different sizes on Helen, as long as there are virtual networks and virtual machines, there is a corresponding place to them, according to the number of virtual machines and the size of the city's population.

But beyond that, there are many secret places and special areas that can be ventured here for those who come here, and Alcatraz Island is one such place.

Ignoring the noise of the battle around him, Yun Xiaotian came to the portal tower and was stopped by the guards guarding here.

"One teleport, one Silver Star Coins."

"Confirm the payment? Fees will be automatically deducted from your personal account. ”

Yun Xiaotian didn't understand what the use of the guards guarding the portal tower was as a virtual world, and it was estimated that the only use was to charge those of them who used the portal tower, right?

Yun Xiaotian nodded in agreement, walked into the portal tower for the first time, and looked at the surrounding scene and layout curiously.

Yun Xiaotian shouted, "Alcatraz! ”

A dazzling white light lit up, and the piercing Yun Xiaotian closed his eyes, not feeling anything.

Yun Xiaotian couldn't help but curse secretly, it is too easy for a super company like Wilderness Fighting to make money, there is no cost, the so-called teleportation tower is simply an ornament, right?

The only usefulness may be merely to convince the person being sent to think that the delivery fee is justified by solemn places and ceremonies.

When he opened his eyes, a sweet female voice came from above the hall: "Welcome to Alcatraz Island, brave warriors, for the protection of the human race, slaughter the demons to your heart's content!" But don't be killed, it hurts......"

Yun Xiaotian came to the outside of the teleportation tower, bustling crowds of people, in and out of the teleportation tower, there are many shops here, low ancient wood and stone buildings, full of primitive atmosphere.

The streets and alleys are lined with stalls, just like a real town.

"Brother Tian, Brother Tian...... I'm ...... here."

Haishan saw Yun Xiaotian, who had just come out of the teleportation tower, and greeted Yun Xiaotian in the crowded crowd.

Walking with Yun Xiaotian, Haishan asked him suspiciously, "Why did you just come, what have you been doing just now?" ”

Yun Xiaotian patted Haishan on the shoulder and said to Haishan and Xiaomei, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"It's nothing, I met a master of swordsmanship, and I followed him to learn swordsmanship for a while......."

"What swordsmanship?"

"Twenty-four Styles ......of Swordsmanship Basics"

Haishan looked at Yun Xiaotian in disbelief, and asked tentatively with a smile: "Could it be a liar?" What is there to learn in the twenty-four styles of swordsmanship, he won't still have to collect money, right? ”

Yun Xiaotian nodded, and at the same time recalled the scene of encountering the Xixia Great Dream, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it seemed that there was really a problem, the performance of the Western Xia Great Dream was really too much like a charlatan who fooled people.

Is it really a liar? Don't you want to?

Yun Xiaotian was puzzled.

Yun Xiaotian still shook his head and replied, "It shouldn't be, I think he is still very powerful, and he looks very reliable!" ”

At this time, Haishan had already decided that Yun Xiaotian had been deceived because he had had such an experience before.

It wasn't until later that I slowly found out that the man didn't know anything at all, only kept bragging, cheated him out of his money, and ran away. There is no direct evidence, even if he finds him directly, there is no way at all, and he will be laughed at by the people around him, so he has never told anyone.

"Actually, he doesn't necessarily really be a liar, maybe he's really a master, nothing."

"How much did you spend in total?"

"Nineteen Silver Stars ......"

Haishan and Yun Xiaotian were walking on the street, thinking in their hearts, they were really a liar, and they were cheated of nineteen silver coins when they learned the basic twenty-four styles of swordsmanship, I really don't know if Brother Tian is too stupid, or if the liar is really skilled.

Xiaomei walked in the front, her cute little face was silent, although she didn't say anything, but she heard the conversation between Haishan and Yun Xiaotian clearly, and she had a little calculation in her heart.

The heart is really here that there are unlimited business opportunities, and there are countless fools, and that fool has been deceived by someone and cheated nineteen silver star coins without knowing it.

If a harmless beautiful girl like me goes out, it's not a trick to cheat one by one, how can a person cheat a Venus coin, just cheat a hundred a day, and have a month's pocket money.

Behind Xiaomei, Haishan and Yun Xiaotian continued to chat.

"Brother Tian, have you been to Alcatraz Island before?"

"No ......"

"Then I'll tell you about it. There are very few people dueling here, the kind of game is too low-level, too stupid, and only the newbies who are new here will duel here. ”

"Here, most people's purpose is to get all kinds of rare ores and materials on alien beasts outside of this castlevania."

"But here, the biggest threat to the beasts, the biggest threat is those demons who don't know where to hide, which is why this place is called Alcatraz Island."

"Kill demons of different levels to get different rewards and precious materials on their bodies."

"No matter what way you get the materials and rewards, you can get them here and sell them, and they can be settled directly with real-world star coins. These materials can also be processed at a certain price to be made into various weapons and armor to improve combat effectiveness and better hunt outside Castlevania. ”

"Now we have to find someone to form a team first, otherwise three or two of us, as soon as we go out of the city, we may be attacked first by someone without waiting to hunt the alien beast demon, and if someone kills us on Alcatraz Island, there is a certain chance that we will drop something."

"But I don't have any precious materials and equipment on me, and it doesn't matter if I'm killed, it's just that the taste is too uncomfortable."

Haishan recalls the painful experience of being sat to death by a wild boar the size of a small mountain, and still has palpitations.

"Let's go to the square at the gate of the city first and find someone to form a team."

Like the moonlight of water, the stars of silence.

Crowded streets, flickering lights, shadows.

Yun Xiaotian and Haishan followed behind Bai Xiaomei and walked towards the City Gate Square at the end of the street.
