Chapter 1: The Swamp

Next Chapter

Tang Ruiyi limped through the mud, the annoying mosquitoes had bitten him no less than a dozen pus, and the warm and humid air made his neck and thighs suffer from serious skin diseases.

He's been stuck here for more than a week, and it's funny to say that when he wakes up again from a night's sleep in the dorm, he's inexplicably here, with nothing but a pack of cigarettes and a lighter on his body in addition to a cheap tracksuit.

What the hell is this place? Is it wrong to sleep? He has been moving in the direction of the sun, but he has not yet stepped out of this swamp, which makes him despair, in fact, just a few days ago he knew that this is definitely not the earth, because he has never heard of such a vast swamp on the earth, and no one has yet set foot in this desert of civilization.

I don't know how long he walked, he felt that his feet were getting numb and numb, his eyes were getting more and more blurry, his body was almost at its limit, and if there was no more water and food to replenish his nutrition, he would end up being a part of the bones under the moss.

"Bah! Damn! Damn!" Tang Ruiyi accidentally fell, spit out a mouthful of mud and sand, and a new cut was added to his tattered jeans.

"Whew. He sat down on the ground and sighed heavily, there was no water left in the birch kettle, only a thick layer of mud and sand, and his eyes shrunk, and if this continued, he would eventually die either of dehydration or the plague.

This is the swamp, a world full of life that does not tolerate outsiders, an uncivilized wilderness, a savage land.

Thinking of the explorers who died tragically in the forest in the movie "Jurassic Park", he was terrified, could it be that a college student was going to die in this poor country?

"Da Da Da-"

The sound of footsteps in the distance made Tang Ruiyi excited, he slowly opened his eyes, and casually slapped a thumb-sized mosquito to death.

He slowly leaned down, huddled in a bush.

You must know that the threat of the swamp is not only insects and dehydration, just what Tang Ruiyi has seen and heard in the past few days, if it is compiled into a book and brought back, it can cause a sensation in the social and scientific circles.

What appeared in front of him was a group of green-skinned dwarfs, their evil eyes revealed a greedy light, their long ears and the wooden stick in their hands gave people a funny feeling, but Tang Ruiyi didn't think there was anything funny, at least a few days ago, he had seen this group of humanoid creatures kill a half-human-tall giant spider alive with the stick in their hands.

What is that? There was a corpse in the center of a group of black dwarfs, it was a human male corpse, with pale cheeks, hairy skin, and a typical Western face, what does this mean? There was human activity nearby! Looking at the linen tunic and delicate silk on his body, it once again showed that these humans had developed a brilliant civilization, and it was by no means to the point of drinking blood, and this discovery made him ecstatic.

Tang Ruiyi couldn't wait to rush over and take away the corpse immediately, but the reality poured a bucket of cold water on him.

These goblin-like creatures in front of him would never let him take their spoils, only to see a few goblins excitedly tearing open the muscles on the thighs of the corpses, and they couldn't wait to stuff them into their mouths, they actually ate people raw!

This discovery made Tang Ruiyi sick to his stomach, but it also strengthened his determination.

Seeing that he was unarmed, it might be a little difficult to achieve his goal, so he could only outwit and not fight, he counted and found that there were a total of twelve goblins, scattered in four corners, and each corner had about three.

Looking at the materials that could be seen everywhere around him, every stone and vine could be used, Tang Ruiyi decided to use local materials and use this to design a good battle method.

Tang Ruiyi looked around, and the mist formed by the methane filled the entire deserted wilderness.

Stimulated by the desire to survive, he quickly turned his brain.

He first broke off some long branches from the rotten wood, picked up an angular stone, used the stone to split the top of the wood into four petals, and then wrapped it with vines to make a weapon in the shape of a quadrident, thanks to the fact that he usually read Bei Ye's survival diary.

Although the quadrident does not have much lethality, it can block monsters on the periphery and not easily get injured themselves, which is much more advantageous than fighting with bare hands.

Looking at the goblins not far away, thinking that they were only less than five meters away just now, Tang Ruiyi felt a little scared.

They are small, fast, and brutal in nature, and if discovered, the consequences can be devastating.

Think about it, I'm afraid it's retribution.,At the beginning, in various virtual games,He didn't brush these monsters.,The initial source of income in the game was these cute little green skins.,At that time, he was disdainful of them.。 Now it's my turn to experience what it's like to be tortured and killed.

But now is not the time to sigh for the past, Tang Ruiyi looked around, and finally found an ideal tool for leading the water to the east a little farther awayβ€”β€”β€”β€” honeycomb.

This kind of honeycomb is not a honeycomb on the earth, and the most terrifying killer bee is nothing more than that, the honeycomb is densely surrounded by a large number of wild bees, they buzz non-stop, the lilac lines on the whole body and the tail needles that are steaming with cold light make people shudder.

Tang Ruiyi subconsciously covered his mouth and nose and choked and spitted, he untied the shirt he was wearing, soaked it with water and put it on his head, holding the quadrident in his hand and poking the beehive far away, the honeycomb first paused, and then broke away from the big tree that he didn't know how long he stayed and fell to the ground.

The slight musty smell fed back from his nasal cavity to his sensory center, which was a veritable "poke hornet's nest".

For a while, countless berserk wild bees partially attacked all the living creatures around them, although Tang Ruiyi had covered his mouth, nose, heart and other important parts with a wet shirt in time, but he still didn't notice that he had been stung several times, and the wound quickly became red and swollen and purple, but he endured the severe pain, picked up the honeycomb casually, and used force to the direction where the goblin was.

"Bang!" A group of goblins stared at each other, completely unaware of what was going on.

As soon as it stirred up, the rest of the goblins were scrambling to grab the honeycomb, and who wouldn't want something good? Two goblins even fought over it.

But the wild bees on the other side were really angry, and a group of green skins that didn't know the height of the sky dared to do anything to their home! They did not hesitate to let go of the culprit Tang Ruiyi and directly attacked the goblins.

While the dense jungle limits their speed, these naturally winged, venomous insects are veritable executioners when they are angry, fearlessly injecting venom-infused tail needles into the skin of their foes. Completely disregarding his own life.

It hurts! It hurts! All the goblins began to flee in terror. In order to escape, they didn't even want the weapons in their hands, and they wished that their parents had two extra legs when they gave birth to themselves.

But this is just a delusion, where can the two legs run past the flying wild bees, and the few goblins who had tasted honey just now suffered one after another, and they fell to the ground directly after being bitten severely, all silent.

With the sound of fluttering, one by one goblins were forced to jump into the river in order to survive, they tried their best to hold their breath, if anyone really couldn't hold back to the surface, it was greeted by a slow attack of a gust of wind and rain, a full five minutes thanks to the goblin's body structure is different from that of humans, the lung function of ventilation is much better, and the wild bee swarm in the sky finally dispersed.

A few goblins who survived carefully put their heads out of the water, and their faces, which were still a little hideous, were now swollen like a pig's head, and their aggrieved little eyes flashed non-stop.

The biggest winner is laughing at the moment.

After a lot of hard work, the human corpse was finally in his hands, this corpse could no longer see the appearance of anyone, it was torn from beginning to end, and in some places even showed eerie white bones, and the only thing of value was a roll of parchment wrapped in a cloth bag and a large pile of silver coins, yes, yes, not coins!

This made Tang Ruiyi feel incredible, this kind of silver coin engraved on the obverse and engraved on the reverse side was a monetary system that only circulated in the Middle Ages, and it is unlikely that it is an antique, because the whole silver coin is so new that it looks like it has just been minted by the mint.

But if the goal is achieved, there is still a lot of water and jerky in the cloth bag, which is enough for him to get rid of the previous life of eating and sleeping in the open.

Just as he was enjoying himself, a dark shadow appeared behind him, and he heard the voice, but he didn't have time to turn his head.

It was a goblin that had escaped the attack of wild bees because it went out to relieve itself, and when it came back, it would see that the camp was in shambles, and it was so grief-stricken that it didn't even think about it, so it directly tracked down Tang Ruiyi, the black hand behind the scenes, and launched a fierce surprise attack.

Tang Ruiyi immediately threw himself on the ground and used his arm to hold its sharp claws, so close that he could even smell the fishy smell of the goblin.

"Roar!" The goblin let out an excited roar, as if he had seen the human in front of him being disemboweled, because its strength was a little greater than Tang Ruiyi's, and it was in a powerful position, and the balance of victory was inevitably tilted towards this monster.

In this case, the corners of Tang Ruiyi's mouth showed a hint of ruthlessness, he didn't look at it, and kicked it fiercely in front of him.

That kick hit the goblin's gear.

No matter what kind of creature it is, as long as it is a male, there are only a few weaknesses, and the most lethal one is the crotch, and the reason is naturally needless to say......

Tang Ruiyi even felt the heart-rending pain, and the poor goblin was like a rooster that had been choked by his throat and let out a sad roar, and the strength in his hand collapsed in an instant.

As a beast without wisdom, the biggest difference between it and humans is to quote wisdom, Tang Ruiyi raised the quadrident in his hand high, and poked it hard without looking at it, and the quadrident easily pierced the loose flesh and cut through the fragile blood vessels.

Stimulated by the severe pain, the goblin jumped up like a flashback, his eyes were red and he grabbed Tang Ruiyi's shoulders, and the two sides were deadlocked for less than three minutes, and the blood flowed more and more, gradually forming a small pool of blood under it.

The weakness caused by the violent blood loss made the goblin's struggle weaker and weaker, and finally let out a long and unwilling roar, and his pupils completely lost their luster, and he fell headlong into the mire.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

This is the only thought in Tang Ruiyi's heart.

Although there is actually a lot of luck in this, if the goblin is not carelessly facing him but facing him sideways, if it doesn't happen to be a handy weapon, if there is one more goblin, if it is .......

But if he only cares about escaping and not resisting, the ending is difficult to say, this short and thrilling battle made Tang Ruiyi understand too many things.

First of all, this world is by no means comparable to the peaceful society in the context of the 21st century, and all the creatures in the swamp are trying to survive, from the small insects to the flesh-and-blood, angry and fearful humanoid life.

Secondly, he also understands that these green-skinned monsters are not invincible, and that with the proper use of all environmental factors and a little luck, they can win the battle.

The quiet air was filled with a slightly sweet smell of blood, Tang Ruiyi gasped for a while, took a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and felt that his heart was beating so much that he was almost popping out of his chest, and the palm of his hand that rubbed too much was also hot and painful.

He grinned and got up, examined his body carefully, and found that the most serious wound was the one from which he struck with his arm! The scratched area was even rolled up with flesh and skin, and the wound was covered with mud and dust during the fight.

He quickly washed it off with the only remaining water, seeing that the goblin was dirty and completely unhygienic, and he might not know what deadly germs and parasites he was carrying.

Now his main task is to get out of this place, a goblin can find this place, it is not impossible to have a second or third, and taking a step back, there are not a few poisonous scorpion beasts in the swamp that suck blood.

Just as Tang Ruiyi was packing up his things and preparing to leave, he discovered another strange thing, a small ball was suspended next to the goblin's corpse, and the ball flashed with a dazzling but not dazzling red light.

This discovery made him wary mixed with some longing, what is this? trap or adventure?

Hey! After all, why can't you believe it? Since goblins, monsters that only exist in games, why can't there be magic, artifacts, and the like, and what man hasn't fantasized about having a powerful beauty hugging left and right? With such a mood, Tang Ruiyi cautiously touched the blood ball.

The moment his fingers touched the ball, a brilliant and passionate voice melted into his mind.

[Achievement: "First Blood" is completed and you have received a letter from your advisor.] 】

[Hello, Your Majesty the King, as an advisor to His Majesty, the Dinas Continent needs your help. 】

[You skillfully used your wits to defeat a group of "powerful" opponents far beyond yourself, and the general is ready to send a team of men and horses to support you to maintain the defense of the town, and finally, good luck!]

You have unlocked a new building β€”β€”β€”β€” militia training camp. 】

[Militia Training Camp: A training ground used to train civilians into militia, which can stop and effectively counterattack the enemy.] Cost: 90 gold. Construction time: 10 hours. Special: None. 】

[A large number of newly minted silver coins; excellent quality, valuables, can be exchanged for 100 gold coins. 】

[Dossier: Scout; Poor quality, which contains the knowledge of training scouts, can be converted into scouts for 5 gold, must be used in a non-combat state, cannot be carried.] 】

A series of golden fonts that appeared on the retina made Tang Ruiyi dumbfounded, and the more he looked at the words militia training camp, His Majesty the King, and gold coins, the more familiar he became.

After half a ring, he patted his head and finally remembered! Isn't this a very popular little game that he played on his mobile phone before the crossing? I actually crossed over with him!

No, how can there be such a coincidence, it is estimated that this game is the culprit that caused him to cross!

Tang Ruiyi first felt a burst of indescribable anger, and then a burst of ecstasy, the ups and downs of emotions in a short period of time made him dizzy, you know, in addition to the barracks, there are countless branch buildings such as arrow towers, artillery barracks, and magician platforms in the game, even if only one-third can really be mastered by him, then there will be no one who can stop his steps, even if it is a modern army, it cannot fight against flying robots and earth-destroying magic.

In this way, wouldn't it be nice to get out of the boring and pale university life and start a journey to conquer the other world, explore the unknown world, and enjoy the glory and wealth?

Think about it calmly, although this game has a lot of powerful props and spells, but the enemies are also incredibly powerful, and in the later stage, aliens and demons emerge in an endless stream, and the goblin clan is just the lowest level of cannon fodder, and they almost killed him just now.

Thinking of this, Tang Ruiyi took a few deep breaths and pressed those unrealistic fantasies deep in his heart, if he didn't restrain the pride of modern humans in his heart, the human corpse just now would be his final fate.

The next thing to do is naturally to exchange the silver coins to build a militia training camp. As Tang Ruiyi meditated in his heart, a white light in the void shone on a bag of silver coins, and the value of the gold coins displayed in the upper right corner of the retina had changed from the original 0 to 100.

Tang Ruiyi was overjoyed and hurriedly chose the construction order.

Please select your strategic point to deploy. 】

Tang Ruiyi's retina appeared a familiar circular square, there is a pattern on each side of the square, but only the sign of the small blue shield is lit, the rest are dark, and there is no response when it is pointed, he chooses again and again, and finally decides to deploy the strategic point near a shady depression, the front of the depression is a small pond, the north is a low hill, and the narrow passage in the middle can only accommodate two people to advance side by side, which is completely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

【Ding, please select the building you need to build.】 】

Tang Ruiyi did not hesitate to choose the militia training camp.

[It takes ten hours to build, so please wait.] 】

【New Tip: Kill enemies to get gold, build buildings to expand your territory.】 】

While waiting for the construction time, Tang Ruiyi did not forget to tinker with the newly obtained game interface. He discovers that the Marketplace, upgrades, and Hall of Heroes are all dark, with only the Encyclopedia and Achievements system to click on.

Flipping through the huge encyclopedia, two books with wax yellow covers appeared in front of him, and only one kind of monster was recorded in the monster book.

Goblins: Humanoids that do not possess any special abilities and often haunt harsh environments that are difficult for humans to set foot in. Attributes: Health 20, Attack 1-4, No Armor, No Magic Resistance, Speed, Loot 1 Gold. 】

It's exactly the same as in the game.,Even the introduction is exactly the same.,It just shows that these monsters that suddenly appear are inextricably linked to the game.。

Then Tang Ruiyi opened the Kingdom Book and found a cartoon drawing in his appearance, and he curiously clicked on this sign.

[Tang Ruiyi, His Majesty the King, the ruler of the kingdom and the spokesman of the gods in the world. Attributes: Health 11/15, Attack 1-2, No Armor, Low Magic Resistance, Medium Speed, Priceless. 】

Seeing this information, Tang Ruiyi didn't know how to complain, as a king, his attributes were not as high as a goblin, and to his surprise, he actually used a low-level magic resistance, which can only be explained by some wonderful changes in his soul during the crossing.

As for the last "priceless city" is a complete joke, it is estimated that the monsters will be happy to cut off his head to show his merits, and voila! the head of a king!

After eating some dried meat and water dipped in honey, Tang Ruiyi found that his blood bar began to rise slowly but firmly, and after sorting out a clearing near the depression for people to rest, the blood bar was almost in a state of full blood, and the injuries on his body also improved significantly, only the injured arm was still the same.

It seems that once the limbs and organs are traumatized, they heal a little slowly, and it is difficult to treat them quickly by resting and eating.
