After going offline, Tang Yi took a shower, ordered a takeout, and watched the news while eating.

Recently, a lot of the news has been about the introduction of the Dark Gate game, although the game company has been extremely stingy with the distribution of the game warehouse as always, and even if a large number of players who were previously persuaded to quit have been complaining wildly in major forums for a long time, it still can't stop this phenomenal game from gradually becoming popular around the world.

In addition to the cross-generational full stealth gameplay, the bizarre gameplay is also the main focus.

There has never been a game like Dark Door, where players can still get paid to play the game, and the salary is much higher than the local average, and many people who have successfully snapped up the game warehouse have even chosen to quit their jobs to become full-time players.

The official news media around the world has also reported on it many times, praising game companies for solving a large number of employment problems in this extremely sluggish economic era.

Someone on the network has roughly calculated the number of players on major servers, at least to the million level, not including the personnel who serve in reality, these are all extra jobs out of thin air.

Of course, there are also doubts on the Internet, many people question the company's financial strength, although there are also krypton channels in the game, but compared to the huge monthly salary expenses, the income of krypton gold and game warehouses is only minimal.

Some speculate that it is likely that a few large global conglomerates are behind the company, and that only by relying on the vast wealth of those conglomerates can the player system in the game be sustained.

But the reason why these consortia suddenly acted so badly to solve the employment problem and ease the pressure of the global economic crisis is not convincing most people.

Behind all the opinions, no one has ever had the slightest doubt about the game itself and the world of the Dark Gate, whether it is the experts of the official media or the small private forums, they have never seen a single voice.

Tang Yi had no way of knowing the situation of the other servers, but he knew that the group of rookie players in Dawning City had indeed died during this time.

The news was heard from that group of veteran players, in fact, Tang Yi was not too surprised, at the beginning of the service, there were many newcomers who did not listen to the advice and were dying, such as sneaking out of Dawn City without permission and going to a dangerous area where there were no old players patrolling.

Near the foot of the Eastern Mountains, the player's body has been found.

But in the end, this matter was not settled, and even in the large group where the veteran players were, no discussion was allowed about it.

The whole world seems to have completely forgotten about these people who died in the game.

All this, not so much weird, but made Tang Yi feel a little uneasy, he didn't know how the people behind the company used the illusory realm in the first place, but obviously there was something wrong with this world.

But Tang Yi also knows that he is now riding a tiger, and since he chooses to sign the agreement, he can only go on this road.

After eating, Tang Yi took out a pen and paper and began to sort out the information he had obtained in the past few days.

This information was not limited to the interrogation from the mouth of the captured elf, but also included Lu Renjia and Lin Maoran's diary.

Tang Yi was not naïve enough to think that the elf would tell all the information, nor did he think that Lu Renjia was really loyal to him.

Therefore, he must synthesize and sort out all the information of the three parties, and then compare them with each other to screen out the truly valuable information.

First of all, the elven clan in the jungle was only a village of about two hundred people, much smaller than Tang Yi imagined, and nearly half of them were half-elves.

They cooperated with the Redemption Society about three years ago, and a year ago they officially opened the ruins, and at the beginning of the ruins, almost every elf had entered, wanting to witness this glorious civilization thousands of years ago, and successively carried out a large number of astral spirit relics.

The curse began about half a month ago, and the curse erupted without warning, and extremely quickly, all the people who had entered the ruins fell ill one after another in just one day, their bodies were rapidly weakening, and their vitality was rapidly draining.

Despite numerous attempts to save themselves, the elves eventually decided that it was a curse from the ruins, on the grounds that the few remaining children who had not yet entered the ruins had survived.

The first to die were the old elves in the clan, and then the middle-aged people, until two days ago, when even the last group of young elves were about to be unable to support themselves.

According to Long Taojia, when he left, there were only a few dozen people left in the entire clan, and fleeing was their only option, hoping that escaping the ruins would save them from the curse, but at this time, the blockade of Dawning City completely robbed them of their last hope, and they could only wait for death in despair.

As for what exactly is inside the ruins, the dragon armor is more vague, not that he has something to hide, but according to him, the ruins are divided into two layers, above ground and underground, and only a few elves in the clan accompanied the redemption to go deep into the underground ruins.

The others had only gone into the above-ground part, and the above-ground part, in the millennia of years of corrosion, there was not much left.

In Lin Maoran's diary, there is actually a description of the curse, which is expressed in text at the entrance of the ruins to warn outsiders of the intrusion, but unfortunately, the fanatical pursuit of the ruins of the Star Spirit Clan has made everyone ignore this warning.

But the Redemption Society is not completely unprepared, they have deciphered more ancient documents of the Star Spirit, and vaguely understand that the mechanism of this curse is about directly absorbing life force through some special mechanism, but the curse is ineffective against their group of earthlings.

It's not that earthlings have any special immunity, it's just that the mechanism of their coming to this world is very special, and the curse will actually befall them as well, but as long as they come back from the magic circle every time, this curse will be completely canceled out.

This is a very magical thing, but the specific principle Lin Maoran can't tell, but according to the investigation of the Redemption Society, they can indeed sneak into the ruins with confidence, of course, they have not told the elves of this part of the information.

In addition, Lin Maoran also mentioned in his diary that there are unimaginable secrets hidden in that ruins, and he did not say in detail what the specific secrets are, but repeatedly wrote that it was unbelievable, incredible, and even related to the fate of the earth.

It was at this time that Lin Maoran began to fully realize the reality of that world, but later, he never had the opportunity to return to the ruins.

And the dragon suit armor also mentioned in the part about the underground ruins, although the elven elders of the clan, although they were tight-lipped after returning, they seemed extremely excited, and often said that they controlled the fate of the world.

……

Tang Yi spent several hours recording all this information in the form of notes, and after synthesizing, he could basically determine that there must be something hidden in the ruins deep in the jungle, and it might even be related to the secrets of the Star Spirit Clan itself.

He wanted to explore the secrets of the Star Spirit Clan, and then according to the historical trajectory of the Star Spirit Clan, find a place that might be involved with him, which was the only best way he could think of to solve the mystery of his origin.

Tang Yi felt that Dawning City might not be completely unaware, maybe they wanted to wait for the end of the Eastern Crusade, or maybe they wanted to wait for all the people of the Elven Clan to die, in short, he understood that there was not a lot of time left for him

After a good night's rest, Tang Yi went online early the next day, and exchanged hundreds of thousands of miles of kir coins from his bank card to purchase them in the city, especially the update of armor and equipment.

For this reason, Tang Yi also gritted his teeth and spent a huge amount of money to buy a space storage badge, and he carried a large number of props and equipment with him, and he bought it in total, and the one million that Lin Maoran gave him at the beginning actually didn't have much money left.

Tang Yi did not return to Yebian Town, but went directly to the northern jungle border area, Xia Na escorted the dragon suit armor to wait here early, they came at night, otherwise it would be impossible to hide from other people's eyes if they wanted to take an elf after dawn.

"It seems that you still don't believe me, my people have long lost their combat effectiveness." Under the moonlight, the elf looked at Tang Yi's full armament and habitually sarcastic.

Tang Yi didn't bother to take care of him, so he asked Xia Na to change his equipment too, he specially purchased a batch of light armor for this girl to use, these things were not for the elf clan, although there seemed to be no danger in the ruins, but he was still vaguely worried.

Because of the abnormal growth and withering speed of this jungle, there is still no reasonable explanation, the elves have not discovered it, and they have already noticed it when they have mastered the power of nature, but at that time they were no longer able to study things other than themselves.

And in this regard, Tang Yi was somewhat aware that the dragon suit armor was slightly hidden.

Either way, he had to make a trip to the ruins, before Dawn.

The jungle in the night was even darker, even if Tang Yi had already prepared to bring out a lot of spare magic lamps, the visibility was not high, fortunately, there were not many beasts in the northern jungle, except for the atmosphere was a little weird, there was actually no need to worry too much about safety.

"Sure enough, the road that burned out yesterday is gone." Tang Yi took the same road that he brought in yesterday, he originally had such a plan, and he left a mark all the way yesterday.

But when I looked at it again today, the thorns and vines that had been opened up by the fireball yesterday were all reborn at an alarming speed, and the surrounding trees had become even more yellow, and even several trees had only bare trunks left.

These dead trees made their progress a little easier, Tang Yi walked at the front of the team, holding two newly purchased sharp axes, overcoming obstacles all the way, much easier than during the day.

"Dragon Suit Armor, what is the force of nature?" Tang Yi asked coldly.

The elf walked in the middle, and Xana followed at the back of the group, mainly responsible for keeping an eye on it, but this elf came all the way, except for the slow footwork due to his very weak physical strength, but there was no small movement.

He seemed to have adapted to the title of dragon suit armor, and said in a low voice: "We elves believe that everything in the world has life, flowers, trees, mountains, forests, and stones have their own life, and the power of nature comes from these lives, so the power of nature can actually be called the power of life." ”

"And in this jungle, can you still feel the power of nature?"

The elf paused slightly: "It's very weak, the force of nature in the jungle is rapidly weakening, in fact, no, nothing. He wanted to say more, but quickly stopped.

Tang Yi turned his head to look at him and didn't say anything more.

The northern jungle is huge, the jungle is even wider than the eastern mountains, and there is hardly anything to be seen in it except for the trees that have no end in sight.

If there was no one to lead the way, it was easy to get lost in it, and after walking for about an hour, Tang Yi could gradually understand why Dawning City was so cautious and unwilling to set foot in this jungle easily.

Once you get lost in the jungle and are ambushed by the very familiar elves, even if your strength is superior, it is easy to lose a lot, and the old players in Dawning City are very limited, so they naturally don't want to lose on it.

Although the dragon suit was weak, his instinctive elven power allowed him to find the right direction in this wood, where there was no distinction at all.

After more than two hours of travel, when the sky was hazy, the vision in front of them suddenly opened up, and the first color in front of them appeared in front of them, a simple but very delicate wooden house.

The village of the hundred or so people is not large, in fact, according to Long Taojia, there were nearly 1,000 people when they first migrated here, but he was silent about why the number of people continued to decrease.

The elven village at dawn seemed extremely quiet, and there was a burning fire not far away, Tang Yi motioned for the two behind him to stop, and he quietly approached and observed alone.

There were dozens of elves sitting around the bonfire, most of them were as thin as firewood, their faces were sallow, and their whole people looked languid, almost the same as the situation of the dragon suit.

They leaned on each other and whispered, not as if whispering, but praying.

"They are praying for the dead and that their souls will return to nature after death." The dragon suit came up at some point, whispering sadly.

Tang Yi observed silently for a moment, and could feel the despair of waiting for death hanging over this group of people from a distance, and the curse deprived them of their strength, so that there was no possibility for them to fight to the death in the end.

But Tang Yi was still very cautious and did not approach the past, but asked, "Where are the ruins?" ”

"I need to talk to my people first, and while I agreed to your request, I need to talk to the others first." So far, the dragon suit armor has become a little tough.

Tang Yi frowned, did not stop him, waved his hand and let him go first, he still waited and watched from afar.

After the dragon suit left, Tang Yi groped for the space badge on his chest, which was a space prop opened through spiritual power, and soon a bunch of magic scrolls appeared in his hand, he beckoned Xia Na over and whispered two words.

Xana looked up slightly in surprise, snorted her mouth, and finally nodded.
