After a short break, I suggested that we eat the rest of the food to replenish our strength and make a last-ditch fight against the damned monsters.

He agreed.

The howl of the Emperor River is getting closer and closer to us.

Seeing him put his hand in his inner pocket, I hurriedly reminded: "Take your time, don't play tricks."

"Your trust is like an egg." He replied with a sneer.

Before I could figure out what that meant, he pulled out a bag.

He opened it gently, revealing a few pieces of jerky.

He threw three pieces at me, and I munched unceremoniously, forgetting the troubles in front of me for a moment.

Eating compressed biscuits for several days in a row, and then eating meat, is indescribably beautiful and happy. Although the meat is a bit hard and light - obviously no condiments have been added. But I dare say that this taste and aroma is incomparable to any vegetarian diet in the world!

I chew hard at times, just like primitive humans thousands of years ago; From time to time, the rich aroma of meat is passed from the teeth to the tongue, and then from the tongue to the whole body.

He was tearing at the jerky and staring at me with strange eyes. I even suspect that if he hadn't beaten him up before, he would have laughed out loud because of my embarrassment.

"What meat?" I can't help but ask.

"I hit a hare two days ago." He replied, "By the lake in the Porgan Basin." ”

Oh, it turned out to be the Porgan Basin. This guy actually remembers the map so clearly.

Before entering the Dijiang Ridge, everyone has five minutes to read a brief map of various resources, including precious water and animals.

The map was so vast that even if I could barely remember the location of the resource, I couldn't figure out which area I was in.

I said, "Good job, even though I've only been here for a few days, I don't think I have eaten meat for almost half a year." ”

He looked up at me again: "You—you're not going to ......."

"Yes, I don't know how to hunt." I lowered my head away from his gaze, "But I'll kill, and my food is all taken from corpses." ”

After chewing on the jerky, I started eating compressed biscuits again.

He shoved the thin shredded flesh into his mouth and remained silent. According to his way of eating, a piece of jerky can be eaten for a long, long time.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Yanchen, what about you?"

"My name is Envy."

"Uh-huh......" he replied absent-mindedly, looking worried.

"You said that Dijiang is coming in the evening, it seems that you know them quite well, tell me about your plan."

So, Yan Chen told him his plan and plan. Before, Yan Chen had been slumped and didn't speak much, but now he suddenly came to his senses.

He first introduced the monster Dijiang.

According to him, the Emperor was a ferocious ancient beast with strong limbs, a large mouth, sharp teeth, and even more terrifying, wings. Yan Chen said that according to the ancient book "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Dijiang has only two shortcomings, one is "unable to see", and the other is "brave and less wise". Because they can't see, they're more accustomed to attacking at night; And because the IQ is not online all year round, there have been many human precedents of escaping under Dijiang......

As he narrated clearly, I couldn't help but interrupt him: "How do you know so much? ”

Yan Chen smiled: "I like to read, and I happened to read the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" before the competition, but I believe that the game designers will follow the description in the book." ”

The Chosen One of Legends? I asked again, "If the Dijiang really can't see, then how do they know if it's day or night?" And how to hunt? ”

"Dijiang has a strong sensory ability, distinguishing day and night by temperature, and catching prey by smell and hearing."

Well, you win.

Yan Chen continued: "There is still some time before the sun goes down, and we can still do some preparation work as much as possible. The map is characterized by the fact that the wind becomes less strong at night, so we had to make torches to minimize the disadvantages that the night throws at night, and remember to choose the hardest wood that we can use for self-defense if necessary. ”

"Is Dijiang afraid of fire?"

"Of course, the vast majority of creatures are afraid of fire, and Dijiang is no exception – even if they are fictional. But keep in mind that torches alone are not enough to scare off the Dijiang, especially in groups. ”

Is this fear or fear? I didn't want to appear to be particularly ignorant, so I continued to ask, "What about the second step?" ”

"The second step is the breakout method. We must not run quickly, try not to make any noise, but only carry torches in our hands, one after the other, and walk gently. ”

"Is that okay? Won't be discovered? ”

"It's not that easy. When we get too close to the Dijiang, we will be smelled. At this time, you should quickly kill the Emperor who found you, and try to keep it as low as possible so as not to disturb its companions. ”

"But you said that Dijiang has strong limbs." I asked suspiciously.

"Yes, that's where the difficulty lies. Fortunately, you are very skilled, so we have a chance to live. Yan Chen looked at me.

I shrugged. Now, I really don't have a better plan. "Let's go, find wood."

Maybe it was inspired by Yan Chen, it may be supplemented by jerky, in short, I was also a little more energetic, and I set off with Yan Chen to look for wood in the woods not far away.

With Yanchen's help, we quickly found two sections of hard wood on a pine tree that looked like it was about to die.

I used my survival knife to chop them into shapes that were about a meter long and easy to hold.

"Oh, alas." Yan Chen said.

"How?"

"There is no pine resin in this wood, and I haven't found an accelerant in the past few days, so the torch will not last long." Yan Chen said and shook his head.

"How long does that last?"

"It won't take more than 15 minutes. Now it's just a matter of lighting them when the last rays of sunlight go down. Yan Chen looked at the blue sky sadly, and then unbuttoned his pure black coat to me, revealing a blue lining, he slowly unbuttoned his shirt, and his fair, muscular body was faintly visible.

"What for?" I asked with surprise.

"I want to be a man one last time." Yan Chen said.

"What?" I took two steps back.

"Just kidding. Cut two pieces of cloth from my clothes and wrap them around the torch to help burn. ”

Yan Chen seemed to have a unique sense of humor, and even Di Jiang's terrifying howl seemed less terrifying.

I took out my knife and quickly cut two pieces of cloth from his shirt and wrapped each around the torch. This is a cotton shirt, and it will indeed have a good combustion effect. Yan Chen closed his coat to cover his bare upper body.

The next step was to make a fire, and we collected some more branches and piled them up in the pit where I was hiding. I just wanted to show my "drilling wood for fire", but I was stopped by Yanchen.

He took out a knife and a stone from his coat pocket, and only rubbed the stone a few times quickly with the back of the knife, and a little spark immediately appeared, Yan Chen rubbed it and blew lightly, and after a while, the fire caught fire.

I have let my guard down against Yanchen. At this time, he took out a knife, and he was not nervous.

At this point, I couldn't think of a reason to kill him.

He explained to me: "This is magnesia, also known as anode magnesium block, which is the best tool for making fire in the field. In the southwest corner of the map is an area called the Soganda Wetlands, where the stone can only be found. ”

"When will the torch be lit?" I asked.

"Wait," he said, surveying his surroundings. "Dijiang should be nearby. From now on we can't talk, and everything depends on me. In a moment, can you take the lead? ”

I nodded.

The fire was blazing, and he swallowed his tongue as hard as he could. I reached out and felt the heat. At the very least, the fire is ours, and it stands firmly on our side.

When I think of the unknown battle, it seems that a hungry wolf has been born in my chest out of thin air. It was a ferocious wolf that wanted to break out of its cage and fight a terrible and unknown enemy, but the time had not yet come.

I even hope that Dijiang will come soon, so that all this ordeal will have an ending.

I can't tell the mood of Yan Chen on the other side at this time. He stared at the flames with a calm expression, as if he had made up his mind to put the flames into his eyes, and was born with a pair of fiery eyes of the Monkey King in the ancient legend.

As the curtain of night gradually closed, the howl of Di Jiang was close to his ears.

Yan Chen put the wooden stick into the fire, and after about two seconds, he took it out, and the torch was already lit. I concocted it according to the law, and I lit the torches. Then we stood up, torch in our left hand and knife in our right, and walked in the direction he had indicated.

"Whatever you see, don't be afraid." Yan Chen whispered behind me.

Oh, death and fearlessness, monsters are afraid?

I saw that in the woods ahead, those thick tree trunks that could not be shaken even by the strong wind suddenly shook violently, and there was a "crackling" break.

Accompanied by the howl of the dying man, the figures of several emperors were faintly visible. They throbbed fiercely through the trees, like fleas, only magnified countless times.

Soon, they rushed out of the forest. Only then did I realize that they did not jump, but used their wings to fly briefly and powerfully, and the direction of the flight was different, and they collided with each other from time to time, but the whole was moving towards us.

I've never seen Dijiang in person before. Maybe I've seen it in a game, or maybe I've had a glimpse of it in a courseware introduced on the map, but I didn't leave any impression at all, and this time it's enough to remember for a lifetime.

These monsters resemble a fat lion, but their flesh-colored skin resembles human skin, and their limbs have well-developed muscles. It was supposed to be where the head was, with no eyes visible, and instead a huge mouth, often open, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.

If you think that you are not afraid of death you are not afraid of anything, you are completely wrong.

If Yan Chen hadn't been reminded, maybe I would have screamed and turned around and ran desperately. Fortunately, at this moment I clutched the knife and walked gently, each step was like a gentle intercourse between hiking boots and sandy soil. I heard a disgusting howl behind me as well, and we were literally surrounded.

Calm down, I reminded myself. The flame swayed in the wind, and I felt as if I could feel the heat it provided, which gave me courage.

In a cold land where monsters are rampant and darkness surrounds, after all, there are two fires that stubbornly burn.

I moved carefully and avoided the impact of the Dijiang River as much as possible. The group of Emperor Jiang saw that they had deviated from the direction and were about to pass by us. Yan Chen suddenly touched me with his hand, and I stopped and turned my head to observe them.

One of the Dijiang closest to us stopped. Its large mouth turned to our side, and I could clearly see the gooey saliva in its mouth.

Then, without warning, it suddenly came at me!

"Be careful!" I couldn't help but shout. It pounced as if Satan the Devil had shot a huge bullet.

Years of reflex training paid their due, and as I crouched down, I wasted no time in raising the knife in my right hand, and the disgusting monster didn't pounce on me, but was disemboweled.

But its power was terrifying, and the knife came out of its hand and stagnated in its stomach.

It fell to the ground and shook the surrounding dust. In my direction, it opened its bloody jaws and let out a dying howl.

This is definitely not a human howl.

However, I saw black entrails spilling from its stomach little by little, one of which appeared to be intestines. It staggered towards us, took a few steps, and whimpered and fell.

When I saw this, I was stunned.

"It's exposed, go get the knife!" Yan Chen reminded. I came back to my senses and looked around, and found that at least ten Emperor rivers were rushing in our direction, and for a time there was dust and strong winds.

I quickly ran to the dead Dijiang and found the knife in its bloody entrails.

Yan Chen and I were back to back, trying to fend off the rushing Emperor River.

They now set our bearings, and flew all around us, encircling us in the center, each roaring viciously.

"Let's go in one direction, wait for my prompt." Yan Chen said.

"Good ......"

Without waiting for my "good" word to land, Dijiang pounced on us one after another.

"Follow me!" Yan Chen shouted, and then rushed towards a weaker link. He suddenly became very agile at this time, and dodged two giant claws flying from the Emperor River one after another.

I ran after Yan Chen, and during this time, an emperor Jiang opened its mouth fiercely and bit me, almost biting my waist. I slammed my torch on its head, and the blow seemed to stun it, but my torch was broken.

I was angry. I really like my torch, but you broke it. I yelled and swung my knife in a rage, trying to cut them before they could get into trouble, so that they would retreat in pain.

An Emperor River slammed down on Yan Chen, knocking him to the ground.

I rushed to them. Before Di Jiang's big mouth swallowed Yan Chen's head, he stabbed the knife into the neck of Di Jiang. This Dijiang fell to the ground, but more Dijiang surrounded it.

I pulled Yan Chen up and pushed him to a stumbling point: "Run!" ”

Another Emperor pounced on me.

"Envy Mandarin Duck!" Yan Chen found me falling into the encirclement and rushed to grab my hand.

"run for me!" I broke free of Yan Chen's hand and pushed him aside with the last of my strength.

There was a sharp pain in the base of the thigh. However, I no longer had the strength or the weapons to kill myself, so I had to give this task to Dijiang.

The feeling of being eaten is hellish pain......

……

The hatch opened, and I crawled out of the simulator on my knees, then collapsed to the ground.

I felt my saliva flow on the white diatom mud floor in the simulation room.

Faintly, a mechanical female voice sounded in the distance—
