Calm finally regained in the office, and under Chen Qingze's mobilization, everyone divided their labor, evacuated the townspeople, and built a line of defense against the flood through props and spells in the north, even if only temporarily.

In fact, the torrent that spread from the northern jungle was much weaker when it reached Nobe, far less powerful than the stormy impact that it had when it first erupted from the dragon meteor.

Under the appeasement of Liu Xuan's Liwei and Chen Qingze, the advantages of the old players gradually came into play, everyone has their own housekeeping ability or props, but they usually don't want to use it easily, why do they have to work hard when they can eat and wait for death?

Soon, on the northwest side of Nobe Town, on the outskirts adjacent to the jungle border, a circle of defensive nets filled with various elements rose one after another.

The flood water was diverted and bypassed the town center of Nobe Town, and although many houses were still damaged, the situation was not too serious.

The water that bypassed Yebian Town gradually divided into countless streams, and further in the direction of the boundless Western Sea.

After more than an hour of hard work, the crisis was finally resolved.

Chen Qing contributed the most, although he was also a bronze-level player, but his attributes were about to reach the silver level, and he returned to the office covered in sweat, seeing that Liu Xuan was burying his head in writing, he paused slightly, accelerated his pace slightly, and pondered: "This incident is also the first time for everyone to deal with it, although there are some flaws, but the result is finally good, Dr. Liu, do you say yes?" ”

Liu Xuan glanced up at him: "Don't worry, there is not much written about you in the report, and Mayor Chen, I heard that the personnel department's evaluation of you is good, and this month's evaluation is likely to give you an S-level evaluation." ”

Chen Qing showed a slight hint of joy on his face, and his tone suddenly became much more polite: "Whatever Dr. Liu says, we are all in charge of Yebian Town, as long as there is nothing here, our evaluation will not be low." ”

He realized that Liu Xuan was writing a report, and of course he had the authority to write it as the mayor of the town, but after he realized that Liu Xuan's identity might not be simple, he understood that this kind of thing could only be done by the other party.

"This flood is too strange, is it related to the elves in the jungle, do we need to send someone in to reconnoitre? Speaking of which, isn't there a captain in our escort team who is also a veteran player, I can call him over. Chen Qing said.

"No need, the matter inside the jungle has nothing to do with you from now on, and will be taken over by the guards directly under Dawning City, no problem."

Liu Xuan used an unquestionable tone, while Chen Qing could only smile wryly and nodded.

……

The brief chaos in Nobe Town has quickly subsided, and players who are considered aristocratic in the eyes of the indigenous townspeople are able to stand in the way at critical moments, earning them a lot of praise in the local area.

……

When Tang Yi woke up again, he found himself lying on a desolate red desert, with the scorching sun shining above his head, and a towering cliff in the distance.

Where is this?

Tang Yi felt that he was very thirsty, his throat tube was almost smoking, and it hurt everywhere in his body, the armor on his body was gone, and the underwear left was also ragged.

He remembered that he was not in the northern jungle, and after the dragon meteor fell down, he was swept away by the sudden rush of water, and then lost consciousness.

What about Xana?

He turned his head to look around, not to mention Xana, there was not even a living creature in sight.

It's a red desert, and there are no plants or creatures at all except the dark red sand, and oh no, if the palm-sized flying insects flying in the sky are counted, there are still creatures.

Before figuring out where he was, Tang Yi felt that he needed to go offline first to take a good rest, although it was very dangerous to go offline in the wild without outsiders to take care of him, but if he continued to stay like this, he believed that he would definitely collapse due to dehydration.

After going offline, drink some water and eat something first.

Thinking so, Tang Yi silently exhaled the game system, clicked to exit the game, and then closed his eyes and waited for the familiar magnificent green door.

However, minutes passed.

The hot wind blowing gently around him did not change at all, Tang Yi opened his eyes and looked at the unchanged red desert in front of him in surprise, a little dumbfounded.

He can't quit the game?

Tang Yi was a little flustered, and rubbed his eyes, making sure that he was not dazzled by excessive weakness, but no matter how he clicked on the system, there was no reaction in the slightest.

What does it mean if you can't quit the game?

For a moment, Tang Yi thought of countless guesses, was his body still in the game warehouse, or did the previous dragon pop also directly cause him to cross over?

Soul crossing?

Physical crossing?

Or was it directly reborn?

He desperately searched his mind for all the episodes he had seen, but he couldn't explain his current strange situation.

But no matter what it is, Tang Yi understands that if he can't quit the game all the time, and he can't get enough water and food here, then he will definitely not be far from death.

Tang Yi struggled to chant an ice pick spell, but as soon as he said a few words, his brain was about to explode, which was a sign of mental exhaustion, which meant that he would not want to cast any more spells until he had enough rest.

Tang Yi didn't want to wait for death here, and dragged his tired body forward slowly.

Behind him were towering cliffs, which he had seen at least a thousand meters high, and behind the cliffs, there was an endless red desert.

As for the northern jungle, Tang Yi didn't even see a tree.

Unless this is no longer the world of the Dark Gate, Tang Yi estimates that the northern jungle may be on top of the cliff, but the problem is that no matter how miraculous it is to fall from such a high cliff, it is impossible not to fall to your death.

Tang Yi's mind suddenly flashed a fiery red figure again, and in his last consciousness, the figure was desperately approaching him with a pair of wings flapping.

Is it Xana?

Damn it!

Tang Yi knocked his head vigorously, but he no longer knew what happened after he fell unconscious, if it was Shana who grew wings and saved herself, why didn't she just take herself back to Yebian Town, but this desert where birds don't, and where are the people of Xana?

Tang Yi didn't dare to go too far into the red desert easily, there was not even a road sign here, if it was too far away, he was worried that he wouldn't even be able to find the way back, as for this cliff, he tried it a little, almost ninety degrees steep, craggy sharp rocks, even if his physical strength was fully recovered, it was impossible to climb it on his own.

Therefore, Tang Yi could only explore the past along the cliff first.

This walk is more than an hour, the time is roughly calculated by Tang Yi in his heart, he doesn't know how far he has walked, the road signs are meaningless here, the surrounding scenery is always the same, and even in a trance, he will feel that he has not moved at all.

Just when Tang Yi was almost desperate, a lying girl figure appeared on the red sand in his field of vision.

Tang Yi staggered over quickly, and the girl who was almost buried by nearly half of her body by the sand was indeed Xia Na, but her brows were tightly locked, and there were several hideous blood marks on her neck, but they were all scabbed, which should be the self-healing effect brought by the dragonman bloodline.

Drag Shana out of the sand and close to a corner of the cliff, using the almost straight cliff face to slightly shade out the scorching sun.

Xia Na's injuries looked very serious, and the light armor specially purchased for Xia Na before leaving could hardly find a complete place, even if the dragonman's self-healing allowed her to retain a little breath, but the hideous wounds on the girl's body made people dare not look at it directly.

What surprised Tang Yi the most was that Xia Na's back had a pair of red dragon wings about one meter long, but only one piece was left, and the dragon wings on the other side were broken, and looking at the cross-section, it should have been cut off directly by a sharp weapon.

It was hard to imagine how brutal the battle this girl had suffered before, but in his impression, Tang Yi felt that the last three children of the elf clan could not have this level of attack power.

The only thing that made Tang Yi breathe a sigh of relief was that he found his spatial badge in the palm of Xia Na's clenched hand, but using the spatial badge required mental power.

Tang Yi first settled Xia Na and let her lie flat in a slightly weaker place in the sun, then forced himself not to think about anything else, emptied his head, sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Recovering his mental power through meditation is the only option at present, but he is really neglected to practice meditation on weekdays, and the level of this skill is not very high.

Meditation in this world is to force oneself to fully concentrate one's mind on the primordial beginning through pranayama and other methods, so as to achieve complete relaxation of the mind.

To put it bluntly, it's about relaxing.

Although the efficiency is low, the effect is indeed stronger than the natural recovery, and half an hour later, Tang Yi opened his eyes and patted his head, he did feel better than before.

I don't know if the recovered mental power can use an ice pick technique, but at least it is enough for him to open the space-time badge once through his mental power.

Psychic power is equivalent to the key to the badge, and after opening the separate storage space in it, you also need to explore the items in it and then take it out.

But Tang Yi didn't want to waste the little spiritual power left, and he didn't bother to explore it slowly, so he used his spiritual power to tear open a hole and directly took out a lot of the things inside.

Because I didn't think about staying in the jungle for too long before I set off, I didn't actually bring a lot of supplies, but more consumable items.

But it has finally solved the urgent need now.

Tang Yi first applied the healing potion to Xia Na, and to be on the safe side, he used up almost all the potions, including one of the powerful healing potions.

The effect of the potion began to take effect after more than ten minutes, Xia Na opened her eyes leisurely in the muttering sound, and also looked at the sky blankly, and then looked at the red desert in the distance blankly, and then looked down at herself, and then looked at Tang Yi fixedly.

The two looked at each other wordlessly for a moment, Tang Yi was a little embarrassed, the few pieces of ragged clothes on Xia Na's body now were almost equal to nothing, especially the need to apply the potion just now, the place that should be touched was actually almost touched.

Of course, Tang Yi didn't have many charming ideas in the urgency, but now that Xia Na woke up, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Tang Yi looked at the sky slightly and diverted the topic: "Your injuries are very serious, what happened after I fell unconscious?" ”

Xia Na finally breathed a sigh of relief, Tang Yi's direct gaze made the girl look very nervous and shy, she first lowered her head and found a silver-white light armor on her body in the props that had just been poured out of the space badge, and the crimson on her face slowly faded.

"It's your people, I took you and planned to return to Yebian Town, but I was attacked by your people on the way, I had no choice but to take you to turn around and continue to fly north, but they were in hot pursuit, and I could only be forced to fly over the Cliff of Sighs, and finally fell down."

Xia Na's words made Tang Yi startled on the spot, and a little charm just rose and disappeared in an instant, he looked at the girl again, frowned and confirmed: "Is it really our people?" Did they, well, mention my identity to them? ”

Xia Na's face darkened: "I said, when they first encountered, they didn't attack, but first asked about our identity, I saw that it was your people, so I said it directly, and after saying that, they started." ”

"You said I was one of their kindred."

"Yes."

"You told them my name and job title?"

"That's right."

Xia Na's tone had a crying tone: "I'm sorry, yes, did I say the wrong thing, did I have a problem with my Chinese expression, did it cause them to misunderstand, I really didn't mean it." ”

The girl's face was full of self-reproach, and she felt that her own words had caused this unexpected battle.

Tang Yi was also full of incredible shock, but he finally shook his head, reached out and touched Xia Na's long fiery red hair, and said softly: "No, it's not your fault, I think, their target may be me, even if I go back, I will only be arrested and imprisoned by them or simply dealt with secretly, so thank you, thank you for saving me." ”

Xana looked up, "Really? But, but why is that, why are they chasing you, is it because of your unauthorized actions? ”

"I don't know." Tang Yi closed his eyes, not wanting Xia Na to see the irritability and tiredness in his eyes.

He did act on his own and sneaked into the elven colony in the jungle, but even so, he was still a veteran player who signed the agreement, and this kind of thing would be to dismiss him from his post or bring him back to Dawn City for careful questioning, no matter what, no one can and cannot kill someone who is also a player.

Unless, their target was originally just Tang Yi.

Opening his eyes again, Tang Yi's eyes were much calmer, the situation had developed to this point, and what he most urgently wanted to consider now was not the identity and purpose of those people, but how to leave this red desert.
