Chapter 1: The Shattered Plane: The World of the Dead
It turned out that when Mo Wen didn't use the eye of fate, his hunch was very unreliable.
Countless broken images flashed before Mo Wen's eyes, but they were all the same, ruins, broken walls, gravel and rubble...... Mo Wen didn't even find a single grass, let alone any key person.
It is clear that this world is not the "2012" he guessed.
"Hint: You have successfully reached the target world, and the total number of surviving travelers in this world is 32,144."
"Hint: Travelers are not recognizable to each other, however, there were no humans in this world before the Traveler came."
"Hint: You've got the main quest - The Bloody Feast of the Dead."
"Hint: Automatic language translation between the Traveler and his subordinates, and the Contractor."
"World Background: This plane has had a glorious history, but it was ultimately destroyed in war. Those so-called intelligent beings used the eight-star forbidden spell to destroy all races and civilizations in this plane...... Of course, including themselves. Now all that remains of this barren land is the undead who wander according to their instincts, and there is no trace of life. β
"Hint: Although there are no plants here, the air conditions are still the same as before the destruction of the world, and the life needs of the life that once existed in this world are similar to yours, so you don't have to worry about suffocating to death if you don't have enough strength."
"Hint: The alternating period of the two objects providing light in this plane is twenty-six hours, please be aware of travelers."
"The Bloody Feast of the Dead: The breath of life has reappeared in the dead world, and the undead who have slept underground are ready to move, thirsting for blood and fresh souls...... Blessed travelers, try to survive in this terrible place, and when the appointed time comes, you can leave this dead land. (You will have to survive in this ghost place for at least a month, at least fifty kilometers between the places where each traveler descends...... Don't be afraid, powerful evil spirits won't appear in the first place. οΌ
"Difficulty: Normal" (Of course, it won't be too hard for you to survive a month in this environment, as long as you don't die yourself.) οΌ
"Reward: Travelers who survive for a month will receive 500 General Points." (Want more universal points and medals? Let's challenge the strong! οΌ
"Mission Punishment: None." (I'm very generous.) οΌ
"Hint: Since there are no more edible items in this world, a partial exchange system has been temporarily activated, and each traveler can use universal points to purchase food." (Food only.) οΌ
[Be generous to your sister! Do you need any punishment for everyone who is dead......] Mo Wen silently vomited in his heart, and then began to observe the surrounding environment.
The endless Gobi is full of strange rocks; The breeze caressed, but Mo Wen failed to find a trace of life in this vast land...... The warm sunlight spilled onto the ground, but the warmth it carried was soon swallowed up by the cold ground, and all kinds of negativity spread wantonly on the wilderness, like a wild horse that has lost its reins.
The two loli subconsciously shrank to Mo Wen's side.
[What a terrible environment...... Ordinary people will definitely go crazy if they stay in this kind of place for a long time, the dead air is too heavy! And the concentration of spiritual power is not very high, slightly inferior to the feeling of the fairy sword world. Mo Wen used the Qi Hope Technique to sense the aura around him. [The death gas under the land is particularly strong...... Eighty percent of the undead are hiding underground for fear of the sun. γ
[What a terrifying breath...... It feels like it's even a fight with the beast god of the year. Mo Wen looked at the horizon. [Undisguised aura, is it a declaration of ownership of this land? I just don't know if the guy with such a strong breath of death is an undead or an item, if it's an undead, I'm definitely not an opponent, and I can't run away! If it's an item...... Forget it, this kind of thing is not something I can touch now. γ
[It seems that the Void just wants us to play hide and seek with these undead...... I knew I wouldn't recruit these two Lori, how convenient it is for one person, and now I have to bring a drag oil bottle. Mo Wen glanced at Lias. [Forget it, it's come to this, let's find a way to let these two Loli survive as much as possible...... If you know that your opponent is an undead, you can change a little more holy water. γ
"Moeka, Lias." Mo Wen beckoned to the two loli: "Come with me, I'm going to find a place to stay." β
β¦β¦
On the same dead ground, a short-haired man with an ordinary face held a mirror-like disc and made a solemn gesture, and not far from him was a small tent, which was the mosquito-proof tent in the survival package.
"It's finally good!" The short-haired man gently wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Everyone, can you hear me?" β
"Elder, I can hear you." "Boss, you're ready." β¦β¦
"Quiet!" The short-haired man raised his voice slightly, and the cacophony disappeared in an instant.
[Thirty-seven Goals...... All the people are together. The short-haired man counted the red dots on the disc, then nodded, and said softly, "You should all be able to detect my position, now move closer to me as originally planned, I won't move...... By the way, President Secondary, do you have anything to say? β
"It's up to you to worry about this world." A lazy voice sounded: "I really can't lift up this kind of loveless world." β
"There's really your style." The sky shook his head: "Do you have any questions?" β
"Elder...... I won't be able to run for three or four days. A soft voice came, making it impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman: "My combat power alone is super weak." β
"You're in luck, 'Hungry. The thirsty Axe is a hundred and thirty miles south of you, and you two will converge first, and then head towards where I am, understand? β
"That muscular brother is expensive?" The man on the other side was visibly startled, but whispered back.
"I see."
β¦β¦
It took a while for the man to complete the deployment of his men. Just as he was relaxing and stretching, a pale bone claw came out of the earth and grabbed him at the back of the heart.
Syllable!
A spear flew out of the tent, shattering the bone claw, and a quiet-looking girl stepped out of the tent.
"Senior brother, why are you so careless?" The woman blamed: "You are too weak now. β
The short-haired man shook his head and smiled, pulled out the spear beside him and handed it to the girl in front of him, and then smashed the skull that had just been drilled out of the ground with one kick: "He can't hurt me, I still want to test how strong this guy is...... And Ziyu, I've said it many times. β
The smile on the man's face faded: "Don't use that domineering marksmanship, even if you have an extraordinary physique and have been strengthened by the 'Nine Heavens Ice Toad', but now your weakened physique still can't withstand that marksmanship, and if you use it strongly, it will still hurt your body!" β
"I see." The woman named Ziyu didn't seem to listen to the man's words: "That little girl who doesn't like to talk asked me to come to you." β
"She said she found something very interesting."
β¦β¦
"Hahaha...... God help me! A man in a robe looked up to the sky and smiled: "Such a strong sense of death...... It's my Hades' paradise! β
[Such a great opportunity...... I must take the opportunity to kill two more Travelers, while the power of my necromancy is greatly increased! The man's eyes lit up with a sharp light.
"Let your blood be my stepping stone to becoming stronger!"
β¦β¦
"The breath of despair and decadence, the power of the Light has been greatly suppressed...... The world is hopeless. A handsome blonde young man sighed, and with a warm light, the skeleton in front of him was reduced to ashes.
"May you be redeemed one day."
β¦β¦
γNecromancy...... I wonder what they are made of? I'm curious. A man with glasses pinned a skeleton to the ground with a tool, carefully studying the beating green flames in its eye sockets.
γRealm of the Soul...... What does it look like? γ
β¦β¦
"Husband...... Are you hurt? A beautiful woman in ancient costume walked up to a heroic man.
"I've said it many times, Lan'er, your husband is very strong!" The man with tied hair in a Chinese robe smiled lightly: "This necromancer is very weak, probably the owner of the traveler's house deliberately put out a hint." β
"Our future enemies should be this kind of monster." The man said: "Such a weak thing can only bully those children who have not yet grown up...... If there is to be a threat to us travelers, there must be an immense number. β
"Lan'er, you have to be careful."
β¦β¦
[This world is full of undead creatures...... This kind of monster is not suitable for my taste. A man in a moon-white robe closed a thick book. [Not only is it ugly, its strength is low, and its weaknesses are obvious, but its growth is also miserable...... I can't give my precious contract position to such a guy. γ
"Frost, Maple Leaf, kill this abomination!"
"Yes...... Master. β
β¦β¦
Just ravaged by countless travelers. When he was crawling the skeleton that crawled out of the ground, Mo Wen took two loli to watch the skeleton that came to 'remind' him slowly crawl out of the soil.
Rotten Skeleton of the Dead: A one-star inferior spirit, formed by the souls of civilians who died under forbidden spells and reattached to their decaying bodies after being infected by the strong breath of death. But after the baptism of time, the fire of its soul is about to be extinguished. (The existence that a ten-year-old with courage can knock down.) οΌ
[Is this bone frame here to sell cute? Mo Wen dodged the slow attack with ease. [It's too weak...... No matter how few of these things come, they won't kill people, and an earthen wall can easily do it. γ
[Forget it, let this little girl fight...... Moeka's girl looks like she has been in a battle, and Lias probably hasn't even killed a chicken. Mo Wen quickly flashed to Lias's side and patted her on the shoulder: "Little girl, this skeleton will be handed over to you." β
"Me? I understand! Lias quickly gathered the magic power of her whole body as if she were facing a great enemy, and then turned into a huge black fireball and pounced on the poor skeleton.
"Hint: Your pact demon Lias. Jimonri kills the rotten skeleton of the dead, and you gain a generic point. β
[Sure enough...... It's cheap. Mo Wen, who received the prompt, shook his head, and then turned his head to look at Lias.
"Your attack is a failure!" Mo Wen looked stern: "It's obviously an existence that can be easily defeated with one punch, but you have wasted a lot of magic and physical strength, if this is in the war, you will find that the magic power will soon be gone...... Then eternal death awaits you! β
"You have to learn to assess the strength of your enemies and kill them with minimal cost and save your stamina, got it!"
"Uh......h People get it. Lias's little head shrunk and replied timidly.
[I really don't know if she listened.] Mo Wen sighed secretly, took out the mosquito-proof tent from the storage space, and handed it to the two loli. "You find a clean place to pitch your tent, and I'll walk around...... You two be careful, and call me through the contract if you have a situation. β
"Got it."
ββ¦β¦ Got it. β
The two loli took the tent handed out by Mo Wen together, and then walked to the side carrying the pile of things.
Mo Wen squinted his eyes at the two loli for a while, and finally sighed, turned around and galloped away into the distance.
β¦β¦
"Na, na...... Moe Xiang? Just after Mo Wen left, Lias, who was alone with the other party for the first time, began to talk to the silver-haired Moe Xiang.
"What's the matter?" The silver-haired Meng Xiang turned her head back, with a look of indifference in her eyes that was thousands of miles away.
"Woo......" Lias was startled by Moexiang's eyes, but she still replied stubbornly: "That...... IβMy name is Lias, I'm a demon, I'm ten years old...... Can you be my friend? β
[Friends? Moeka's eyes fluctuated, and her gaze at Lias also took on a bit of warmth.
[I didn't expect me to make friends in such a place......] Looking at Lias's nervous and hopeful appearance, Moeka smiled in her heart - although there was still no expression on her face.
"Lias, my name is Moeka Akaya, a vampire, and I'm also ten years old." The silver-haired Meng Xiang stretched out her hand expressionlessly: "Lots of advice." β
β¦β¦
[Hmm...... What a barren land. Mo Wen sped on the rubble, the ruins and ruins rapidly receding on either side of him. [It seems that the civilization of this world is really weird, and it actually played itself to death...... No, we humans are not in a position to laugh at them. γ
[If a nuclear war really breaks out, the earth-kun may be blown to pieces, let alone humans. Mo Wen couldn't help but think of the world pattern before he came to the Traveler's House. [Conflict of Desires...... Hehe, what a simple reason. γ
[Hmm...... According to the photophobia of those undead, it is estimated that they will not be able to sleep well tonight. Mo Wen sighed in his heart. [And the yang qi will definitely be suppressed to the extreme at night...... Even if I set up a magic circle to restrain these bone frames, the power is absolutely weak. γ
[Forget it, I don't know what the strength of those bones is, let's see at night...... I believe that the Void will definitely not release the boss at the beginning. γ
[Now the biggest headache is those two Lori! ] Lias also said that it was easy to say, but I was reprimanded a few times, and it was not difficult to regain favorability with the help of one or two special events...... But that Red Night Moe Xiang has always been in a three-no state, and I can't figure out what she's thinking at all, and this situation is the most dangerous, like a time bomb. γ
[Although she can't disobey my orders, the premise is that I have to give orders first...... And this order can't be given casually, it's easy to make them dissatisfied. γ
[Headache ......]
An hour later, Mo Wen, who had been patrolling around a radius of five miles, followed the induction of the contract to find two loli, as well as the tent they had set up.
"I said you...... Forget it, it's normal for children to make some mistakes. Mo Wen looked at the strangely shaped tent and couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand and sigh mournfully.
"You two look at it, it's like this to pitch a tent." Mo Wen quickly pulled up the tent that the two loli had set up, and then prepared to start setting up camp again.
"Wait!" Lias raised her little hand in a panic, like a schoolboy about to answer a question.
"What's the matter?" Seeing her cute appearance, Mo Wen lowered the pillars of the tent.
"I want to ...... I want to make it easier. Lias squirmed and asked.
ββ¦β¦ It's still a child. Mo Wen shook his head and pointed casually: "There are no living beings here, you can just find a place...... Of course, if you're not used to it, you can use spells to cover your figure, is there a problem? β
ββ¦β¦ I know. Lias glanced at Mo Wen, and then quickly ran behind a large rock.
Five minutes later, Lias returned, and Mo asked to begin demonstrating how to set up a tent.
Don't ask about teaching......
Lori onlookers......
"That's it!" Mo Wen raised his hand to wipe away the sweat that didn't exist, and pointed to the tent in front of him, which was like a standard triangular prism, enough for seven or eight people to sleep. "Now I'm going to work on the ground of this tent...... Lias, do you have the magic to harden the land here? I don't want to sleep when something comes out of the dirt. β
"IβI'm not." Lias took the silver-haired hand and stepped back slightly. [Although it seems to have been learned......]
"Forget it, I'll do it." [Why did the relationship between these two girls suddenly get so close? ] Mo Wen lifted the tent. "You guys come in and have a look."
"Yes."
"Condensation!" Mo Wen pressed his hand to the ground, and he could clearly see that the soil was slowly becoming as smooth as crystals, and the whole tent was like a tileβand there were no gaps.
[I always feel that this concrete-crystallization technique is similar to the magic of turning mud into stone in DND.] Mo Wen clapped his hands, and then threw down two sleeping bags that were obviously more than one size bigger than the two loli in front of them: "It's done!" You two girls can rest in for a while, if you don't get tired, do more training, but don't go too far...... There may be a surprise tonight, but you need to conserve your strength. β
"What about you?" Lias grabbed her sleeping bag and stood in front of her, revealing only two large bright eyes on her face.
"I'm going to prepare some defenses." Mo Wen smiled back and walked out of the camp.
