Volume 2: The Game of Zero Chapter 8 Clues and Attacks
"Guessed everything, right?"
Zhu Yaotang didn't talk nonsense, he asked the two directly.
Ning He nodded, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "I'm afraid that we have to participate in the next war to have a chance to obtain the 'key' and lead to the next world." ”
Lin Ling on the side nodded slightly, agreeing with his point of view.
However, she adds, "We should now figure out if the world key referred to in the game is a physical key, or just a name." ”
"Does it make a difference?" Ning He was a little puzzled.
"Of course." Lin Ling bowed his head and explained in a clear voice: "If it is the key to the substance, then our next focus should be on finding it, if it is not the key to the substance, we may have to focus on obtaining it." ”
Zhu Yaotang nodded and looked at the two of them approvingly, "That's a good point, but I should be able to answer the answer to this question." The so-called world key should just be a title, after all, if it is a real key, how to divide the billion players? It's impossible to make a billion, right? ”
"Is it possible...... Ning He thought for a moment, "it's a key, but it can open the passage to the next world for all players?" ”
Zhu Yaotang hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Lin Ling had already vetoed this possibility.
"No, if that were the case, the previous cutscenes wouldn't have emphasized the importance of obtaining the world key through personal abilities. By the way, I think you're all watching the 'Star Crown' and 'Civilization' cutscenes? ”
Zhu Yaotang looked at Ning He, Ning He nodded, he was looking at that too.
"Hmm."
Zhu Yaotang sighed and smiled bitterly, "It seems that we will find a way to obtain the key to this world next, as Lin Ling said." Combined with Douglas's statement, what we should do next should be to fight for the Kingdom of Io, no, it should be for the Knight of the King, Douglas Adams. Probably, like the previous choice on the lawn, we experienced another choice on the avenue. ”
Ning He nodded in agreement.
Lin Ling said, "Is there any change in the interface in your Star Bracelet?" She looked down slightly at her star bracelet, and Ning He knew she was browsing the interface.
Ning He did the same, he looked down at the silver-white star bracelet on his left wrist, and the interface appeared in his vision.
[Player's Name: Ning He.] 】
[Number of Star Crown Fragments Owned: 0.] 】
[Storyline cracked: 0%. 】
[World Level: 1.] 】
[Ability: Vision.] 】
His gaze moved down, and an interface one size smaller than the main interface appeared below, which was the information of the world he was in now.
[World Sequence: One.] 】
[Faction: Io, Douglas Adams.] 】
[World Key Patchwork: 20%.] 】
Seeing this, he was stunned for a moment, and finally his eyes stayed on the ability, he stared at the word Lingshi tightly, and there was a shock between his eyebrows that could not be concealed.
Zhu Yaotang on the side also lowered his head to inquire about the Xingchen bracelet, his face was much calmer, but he also looked at the interface for a long time, and his expression was a little strange
"Well, did you all see that subscreen?"
Lin Ling looked at the two of them with some surprise, there was no need to look at it for so long if there was an extra sub-interface.
"Huh? Well, I see. ”
Ning He nodded hurriedly and came back to his senses.
Zhu Yaotang said thoughtfully: "This should refer to the information of the world we are in now, and the key patchwork degree of that world should refer to the worldview of the current world, and we have obtained a lot of information from our previous exchanges with Douglas and speculations. ”
"In other words, as long as we get more information and piece together the worldview of the entire World One, we will be able to obtain the world key?"
"Maybe, maybe that's the first step." Zhu Yaotang's voice was low, "If that's the case, it's too simple, but it's good to have a goal now, at least we know what to do, and the camp we belong to is this Douglas." ”
Ning He muttered, "So we're going to follow this king's knight next." His eyes looked at Douglas, a handsome blond young man walking not far away on a tall white horse.
Retracting his gaze, he unconsciously glanced at the star bracelet again, and the spiritual vision in the ability column made him very concerned.
He remembered the vision he had opened when he was fifteen years old, when the Gray Shadow had opened for him, when his five senses had been raised, it was a very wonderful state, and he could feel a slight change. It's just that he hasn't experienced that state since the end of the enlightenment, and he still feels a little regretful.
Now he saw it in the ability column, his mind was slightly moving, maybe he could use it in this game, but he didn't know how to use it.
Just when Ning He closed his eyes and imagined with some distress, he suddenly felt that the sounds around him had become more, clearer and denser, and he seemed to be able to hear more sounds. He could make out the sound of the knights' hooves, he could feel the faint breathing of Lin Ling beside him, and he could smell the turbid smell of dust and dirt mixed with the air, and the trembling of the leaves in the wind.
At the same time, a burst of fine footsteps suddenly appeared in Ning He's ears, and Ning He's face changed, because this series of fine footsteps was not from the avenue, but in the forest, the woods on both sides of them!
The procession walked along a forest avenue flanked by lush trees and grasses. In addition to Douglas and his two Servant Knights, there were as many as thirty knights of the Knights of the Holy Sword and a hundred-man guard guarding their group of strangers.
And then the shock abruptly happened.
"Whew!"
A flickering arrow shot out of the dense woods, an arrow made of fine iron piercing a soldier's neck without hindrance.
In the kingdom of Io, the Guards are not fully armed, they only armor on important parts. Of course, if you have enough financial resources, you can also be fully armored like knights and samurai, but those who have that kind of financial resources will not choose to become guards soldiers, they will choose to become knights or samurai.
"Poof!"
One of the guards fell, followed by a second, a third, a fourth, and one after the other throughout the ranks. The sound of bows and arrows breaking through the wind and the continuous sound of falling to the ground exploded in Ning He's ears, and he suddenly opened his eyes, the world in front of him became delicate again, and he could see everything more clearly.
"Enemy attack! Organize the line of defense! ”
The terrible screams resounded throughout the mountains and forests.
Thick plasma, screams of falling to the ground and chaos play out in the woods.
Countless figures emerged from the forest, their black-clad masks silently and swiftly waving their blades, the remaining guards and knights engaged the incoming, and more black-armored attackers crossed the line and entered the player's ranks.
The screams filled Ning He's ears one after another, Ning He's face turned slightly pale, and his mind was blank for a while when he was hit by these sounds.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound filled his brain, and Ning He felt the burning pain coming from his face, and he looked back at Lin Ling.
"What are you doing!" Lin Ling shouted, she kept pulling Ning He but there was no response.
Zhu Yaotang on the side was already fighting with a masked black armor, he easily avoided the black armor's attack and attacked the black armor from the side, and then grabbed the blade and counterattacked to kill him.
He took a breath and returned to the two, who were at the head of the line, surrounded by more soldiers, and only a few masked black armor had slipped in.
"Sober? Sober up and hurry up, let's move closer to Douglas! There are many people on his side, so we have a chance to live. Zhu Yaotang didn't wait for a reply, he held the long sword he snatched and walked straight to the front.
In the chaos, the soldiers and the masked black armor fought together, the players hugged their heads, and many people were even directly frightened to stay in place and dare not move, and were mercilessly slaughtered by the masked black armor that passed through the defense line.
"Let's go!"
Ning He saw the current situation clearly, and he immediately followed Lin Ling and ran forward.
Zhu Yaotang kept a distance of about five meters in front of them, and he brandished his long sword to carve out a bloody path for them in this chaotic forest battlefield.
In front of Zhu Yaotang, masked black armor continued to fall, and soon they came to Douglas's side.
Two knights were guarding him, and more than a dozen knights of the Knights of the Holy Sword Order were also guarding them, the masked black armor around them had not been able to break through this layer of defense for the time being, and their finely forged armor was also a good protection against the archers hiding in the woods.
"Stop!"
The two guards standing on the periphery blocked Zhu Yaotang's way, Douglas glanced over to this side, frowned slightly and said to the knight beside him, "Let them come." ”
The guards gave way, and Zhu Yaotang held the long sword that had turned crimson, and led Lin Ling and Ning He through the defensive circle to Douglas's side.
Douglas looked at Zhu Yaotang a little tiredly, "What?" Want to follow me now? ”
"Gladly." Zhu Yaotang bowed slightly, he pointed to Ning and Lin Ling behind him, "But they also have to follow me." ”
Douglas nodded dryly: "Yes." ”
"Whew-" Zhu Yaotang let out a sigh of relief, he turned his head to look at the two young men, and grinned, "It seems that our luck is good." ”
"Prepare to break out!" A subordinate knight walked over, handed Ning He and Lin Ling a short sword each, and said in a deep voice: "There are no other weapons, you can use this to defend yourself." ”
Ning He nodded and put down the short sword, his heart was still thinking about this previous feeling at this time, and there was an uncontrollable ecstasy in his heart.
Coming back, he's in a state of psionic vision again!
At the same time, he thought of Zero before entering World One, he didn't know how Zero knew about himself and Gray Shadow, or how she imitated Vision, and he had deep doubts.
But for now, he wants to save his life first.
Ning He calmed down, and he began to recall the training in the past few months and began to think. In order to ensure the safety of him and Lin Ling Zhu Yaotang, he should now turn on the spiritual vision again, so that their chances of survival can be greater.
"Woohoo!"
Guards were shot by bows and arrows in the forest and fell to the ground, and the entire breakout team began to move towards the woods on one side.
The knight dismounted, and plunged into the woods at this juncture, and the war horse that accompanied him day and night could only be abandoned.
Ning He followed them into the woods, and some clever players saw the situation here and began to flee in all directions, running towards the forest.
