50. The meeting of the two protagonists
A card with a dirt block on it was ejected by Duncan and shot into a raised rock in the middle of the river, under the river's water.
I heard a bang, and a cube of earth appeared on the underwater rock. The height of the clod, combined with the height of the raised rock itself, is just above the surface of the water.
So, in the middle of the river, a clod of earth appeared that was large enough to settle down.
Duncan leaped to his feet, landed on the clod of dirt in the middle of the river, used the clod as a springboard, and jumped up again, jumping to the other side of the river.
"Dirt can be used to cushion feet, honestly!"
Actually, what Duncan didn't know was that he had been interacting with the audience just now, and the direction was a little off.
If Duncan had turned his head a little, he might have found a surprise.
- 30 meters away, there is a bridge!
This is the standard way for players to cross the river.
Maybe it's because the visibility of Hell is not high, or the wind and sand are too big today, or Duncan is an interstellar player, or Duncan is immersed in the joy of becoming a mage, and Duncan is stunned and doesn't turn his head. Neither he nor the audience in the live broadcast room who shared the vision looked at this bridge.
···
Crossing the Scarlet River, Duncan finally reached his destination in the main quest.
Now, since his first appearance in the game, it has taken a lot of time to pinch people, complete novice tasks, and understand the mage profession along the way, and more than ten minutes have passed.

Deng was sure to look at it.
- Beneath the dim dome of the sky is a vast expanse of craggy gravel, a mix of crystal and red hellstone. The sharp edges of the crystal rocks resemble sharp teeth, seemingly capable of easily tearing apart clothing and flesh. Gusts of scorching wind swept through the gravel, carrying the smell of flying sand and tar.
A large group of players with bizarre nicknames, Duncan, who preceded the short-legged Duncan, reached the mission destination and was running around the mining area, weaving between giant and strange rocks.
Someone is seriously working on the main quest, looking for a green luster of smelted iron stones among the strange and colorful rocks; Someone tried to unleash their newfound skills on the towering rock of a behemoth; Someone climbed to the top of the highest rock and shouted loudly to come here; Others appear to be standing still, but are actually in the game panel, turning their senses up and down, savoring the sulphur in the wind, and listening to the roar of the wings of the insects in the distance.
Players wear a variety of fantasy class outfits. Warriors and priests are clad in scale armor, thieves are playing with daggers in their hands, poets are playing with the strings in their hands, and the black cat that slips past is presumably a druid.
With the high realism of virtual reality games, there is a wonderful feeling of cosplay.
In this group of players, Duncan also found female players who had surpassed him before, "long days and short nights".
Today's days are long and the nights are short, wearing studded leather armor and a cloak with a hood, judging from the words on his head, he is a [Level 2 Demon Warrior]. She was standing on a scarlet rock, looking around at something.
As if he had discovered Duncan's arrival, the days and nights were short, and he suddenly looked back at the short Duncan in his robes who had just stepped into the mine.
In Duncan's suspicious eyes, a female player named Long Days and Short Nights was staring at her.
"Strange, why is this young lady with long days and short nights looking at me? Am I particularly skilled in pinching my face? Duncan shrugged his shoulders and smiled, mobilizing the atmosphere of the live broadcast room.
"Brother Deng, don't stink, she must not have thought that the pinching system could be adjusted so short?" Someone complained in the live broadcast room.
After hesitating for a few seconds for the long days and short nights, he jumped off the crimson rocks,
She walked slowly towards Duncan.
·······························
Just as Duncan and the others arrived at the Iron Ore Mine, in the distance, a six- or seven-meter-long, armored, sand-stained hell chariot was also approaching them.
With a violent roar, the soul-fueled chariot of hell stopped. The huge armored chariot is parked on high ground, and a giant red hellstone with a misshapen and strange shape covers the chariot just enough to avoid being detected by players from afar.
As the chariot stopped, the burning wails of the cursed souls inside the engine faded into intermittent wailing, crying, and sobbing.
The Chariot of Hell opened the door, and from it stepped down a man wrapped in a turban.
Khaled, a magical goods merchant, is a human with devilish blood, belonging to the Wandering Mall, and is an important subordinate of Hama, the owner of the Mall. Although part of the mall, Khaled also has its own independent business (self-financed).
Nothing attracts a greedy merchant more than the jingle of coins. Today, Khaled is here because he heard that there is a business opportunity.
Hama, the Lord of the Mall, tells Khaled that a large group of mortals will be coming to the rocky mining area on the first level of the Nine Hells today.
Hama assures Khaled that the source of the news is absolutely reliable, directly from the former 1st Tier Lord Bell!
