Chapter 123: The Chosen One
A pair of blood-red eyes were staring at Zhao Nan, and showing their sharp fangs at Zhao Nan, the Earth Bear slowly crawled over to this side.
Zhao Nan was depressed in his heart, where did he have time to care about it, and walked directly to the side with Ling Tian, who was unconscious. Serostia was also very calm and turned around and walked with Zhao Nan.
"Roar!"
Feeling ignored by its prey, the Earth Bear let out a roar, and then rushed towards Zhao Nan with a huge body like a chariot.
"Humph!"
Harrioto, who was crawling on Zhao Nan's head, suddenly snorted coldly, and a pair of golden pupils glanced at the earth bear without emotion.
Almost a quarter of a second, the originally fierce Earth Bear suddenly braked suddenly, and an irresistible aura enveloped its body, making it unable to resist at all, and it trembled on the ground.
That's Long Wei.
The dragon power from the Red Dragon King Harriotto made it impossible for the Earth Bear to show his fangs, or even to escape.
This is the gaze of the hunter between creatures on the hunted, but Harriotto just glanced at it, didn't pay attention to it, and then continued to lazily climb on Zhao Nan's head without moving, and left with Zhao Nan.
For a little guy of this level, Hariotto is still too lazy to kill.
......
Ling Tian opened his eyes from the coma, and what caught his eyes was a smallpox with a hole pierced, and he didn't see the spirit that had just saved him, Ling Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart,
was about to turn around and change his posture, but suddenly found that in front of him, an expressionless face appeared, and the owner of the face was staring at him.
"Ahh
Ling Tian was startled. Hurriedly propped himself up, got up and ran to the corner.
"You're finally awake. ”
Zhao Nan was happy here, and a smile appeared on his originally expressionless face.
"You...... Who are you?" Ling Tian said in surprise as he looked at Zhao Nan.
"Rub, I saved you, and asked me who I am?" Zhao Nan said angrily.
"This ......" Ling Tian was slightly stunned, and then his gaze unconsciously fell on Zhao Nan's head, where the white name was still hanging.
"Can you see this?" Zhao Nan also noticed Ling Tian's gaze, and immediately pointed to the white name on his head and said.
In fact, Zhao Nan's name was still blue when he was in the underworld, but later after crossing the Gate of Truth. The name has become the original white, that is to say, Zhao Nan's current identity is a player, and he is no longer a black demon king.
"Hmm. Ling Tian nodded.
"Hehe, is that good news or bad news. Hearing Ling Tian's answer. Zhao Nan showed a wry smile, combined with the Earth Bear Demon Beast he had just seen. There is also a white name on Ling Tian's head that also represents the player's identity. It was pointless for Zhao Nan to escape any longer.
In reality, Shijie seems to have happened to something terrible, and it has become a game Shijie similar to Dragon Online.
At this time, Zhao Nan is most worried about his parents in reality, if his conjecture is correct, it is estimated that his parents will be in danger.
Zhao Nan was annoyed, but Ling Tian's voice sounded in his ears.
"This. Are you a guild player, or are you ...... 'Shader'?"
This question, Ling Tian struggled for a long time before asking, after all, Zhao Nan's identity was unknown. However, seeing that Zhao Nan didn't mean to hurt himself, Ling Tian still mustered up the courage to ask.
"What guild player?" 'Shader'?" Zhao Nan tilted his head and looked at Ling Tian puzzled, the guild player Zhao Nan roughly understood, but the 'Shader' was completely unaware.
"Huh?" he didn't expect Zhao Nan to react like this, but Ling Tian was stunned, because he had the impression that people like this who walked with NPCs were either guild players with strong strength and guild background, or they were 'dark ones', but judging from Zhao Nan's reaction, Ling Tian suddenly vaguely felt that Zhao Nan was not either of the two.
Just as Ling Tian was hesitating to explain further, Zhao Nan had already found a chair to sit in front of him, and said with a serious face: "Compared to the question you asked me, I also have a few questions I want to ask you now, can you answer me first?"
Due to Zhao Nan's momentum, Ling Tian nodded loudly.
"Good. Zhao Nan smiled with satisfaction, and then asked: "First, I want to know the current time, the specific year and date, and what kind of place is here, and the specific address must be detailed." ”
Although he didn't understand that Zhao Nan Weishenme would ask this kind of question, Ling Tian thought about it for a while and answered honestly, "It's April 26, 2013, and the location is Zhangjia Village, Ershui Town, F City. ”
Hearing this answer, Zhao Nan's face sank, this is obviously not good news, although he was prepared at the beginning, but Zhao Nan was still worried for a while.
If I'm not mistaken, the time when Dragon Online started the public beta was December 21, 2012, and more than 4 months have passed since that day to today, which is almost this date compared to the 5 years that Zhao Nan has been in Dragon Online.
For Zhao Nan, it has been 5 years, but the reality of shijie has only been more than 4 months, but the most unacceptable thing for Zhao Nan is that when he returns here, this shijie is already a person.
"You...... Are you alright?"
Ling Tian saw that Zhao Nan didn't speak, and suddenly became a little scared.
"It's fine. ”
Zhao Nan took a deep breath and then looked at Ling Tian again, "The second question I want to know, you...... Isn't it a player?"
Hearing this question, Ling Tian was asked in a daze.
It wasn't because Zhao Nan asked a lot of tricky questions, but the question Zhao Nan asked was too simple, so simple that Ling Tian felt that it wasn't a problem at all.
However, Ling Tian pondered for a while before he stretched out his hand and pointed to the white name on his head, and then said, "Didn't you just say that, I can see this." ”
"Is it really a player?" Zhao Nan muttered, and did not show a surprised expression, but Zhao Nan then showed a strange expression and asked, "Since you are a player, why won't your injuries recover automatically?"
"Huh?" This time it was Ling Tian's turn to be surprised, and at the same time, he found that his arm was actually healed, and he took a look. Then I wondered, "What is the automatic recovery?"
"Over-speed regeneration, the system will correct the player's body, so that the player's body can regenerate infinitely when the player's health is higher than 50%. Zhao Nan said in detail.
"This ...... I can't be like that. Ling Tian seemed to understand, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm just a low-level player, and I don't have this kind of skill of regenerating severed limbs. ”
"It's not a skill, it's a system setting. Zhao Nan raised his finger and corrected: "Over-speed regeneration, pain shielding, absolute hits, etc., these are the most basic settings given to players by the system." If you're a player, how could you not? ”
As he spoke, Zhao Nan also showed a suspicious look at Ling Tian, he suspected that Ling Tian was lying.
"Wait, you listen to me. Ling Tian also saw that Zhao Nan's eyes were wrong. hurriedly explained: "I really don't have the ability you said, and ...... I know the players inside. It doesn't seem to have the system settings you mentioned. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Nan looked at Ling Tian. I also felt that Ling Tian's expression didn't look like he was lying, and besides, it didn't seem like there was any need to lie to himself on this issue, right?
Seeing Zhao Nan's expression soften, Ling Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "This big brother, I really don't understand what you just said. However, we players just have a system where we can earn experience points and upgrade and use skills, which is a common ability for everyone after the cataclysm, isn't it?"
"What cataclysm?" Zhao Nan grabbed the key words and said in a deep voice.
"Big brother, you don't even know about the cataclysm?" This time it was Ling Tian's turn to be surprised. "It's the cataclysm that happened on New Year's Day on January 1, 2013." ”
"New Year's Day in 2013?" Zhao Nan frowned and muttered to himself, and suddenly had a premonition in his heart.
"January 1, 2013, this day is estimated to be unforgettable to all shijie. Ling Tian saw that Zhao Nan looked really unaware, so he took the initiative to recall: "On New Year's Day of that year, the entire C country, ah no, it should be said that it is the entire shijie, on this day, 13 terrifying sinkholes suddenly appeared in the sky, and a large number of monsters fell in these sinkholes, and a game system called Dragon Online suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and the earth was also gamified from then on, becoming a game full of killing......"
Hearing this, Zhao Nan was completely stunned, although it was similar to what he had guessed in his heart, but he still felt very incredible when he learned from Ling Tian's mouth that something was really wrong on Shijie's side.
How did the dragon online invade reality in the time we were away? Zhao Nan was shocked in his heart, and immediately fell silent and did not speak again.
Ling Tian watched cautiously from the side and did not speak. However, Ling Tian's heart was very puzzled, he didn't understand such an important day as the cataclysm, how could anyone not know?
Just when Ling Tian was puzzled, Zhao Nan had already recovered.
"Xiexie, you tell me. Zhao Nan said sincerely.
"This ...... No. Ling Tian didn't expect Zhao Nan to say this suddenly, so he responded a little slowly.
"By the way, I want to ask, this ...... After the cataclysm, how many people survived?" Zhao Nan changed his hesitant expression again, and then asked.
"It's hard to say. Ling Tian shook his head, and then said, "However, according to the current Shijie government statistics, in the early days of the cataclysm, nearly 60% of the population had died, although later people mastered the use of the dragon online system, but the number of deaths continued to increase in a short period of time, until the remaining people united to build a 'safe zone', and the number of deaths gradually decreased...... Now the Shijie government has probably estimated that about 30% of the human race has survived......"
When Zhao Nan heard this, his heart suddenly felt cold, this result was expected and unexpected, but no matter what, Zhao Nan is most worried about whether his parents will be among the 30% of the survivors.
"Brother Zhao. Because of chatting a few words, Ling Tian felt that Zhao Nan was not a wicked person, so he became a little closer, and said, "These things seem to be basic common sense now......, right? Don't know anything?"
"I said, if I say that I just came back from Yishijie, do you believe it?" Zhao Nan looked at Ling Tian and said with a wry smile.
"Coming back from the other world?" Hearing Zhao Nan's answer, Ling Tian was visibly stunned for a moment, but not with a look of disbelief. Rather, it was full of shock.
Thinking of the system settings such as "super-speed regeneration" and "pain shielding" that Zhao Nan just said, Ling Tian suddenly remembered a legend, legend has it that before the cataclysm, millions of people in the country of Light C had been selected in advance to enter the game shijie of Dragon Online for public beta.
It wasn't until the end of the Open Beta that the Cataclysm began, and those who came back alive from the Open Beta Dragon Online were the same players known as the "Chosen One".
These players, not only have amazing strength, but also have system functions that real Shijie did not have for those who only gained player status after the cataclysm.
For example, Zhao Nan said that ultra-fast regeneration, pain shielding and so on.
"Isn't it? Brother Zhao, you ...... Are you the Chosen One?" Ling Tian pointed at Zhao Nan and said in a trembling voice.
"What Chosen One?" Zhao Nan frowned.
When Ling Tian heard this, he immediately told the relevant descriptions and legends of the Chosen One, and after Zhao Nan heard it, he didn't think much about it, and directly patted his forehead and said, "If you're not wrong." I'm supposed to be the Chosen One, so it's no wonder you're a player and don't have the same system setup as we do. It turns out that this is still separate. The players born in real Shijie are different from the players during the open beta......"
"Is Brother Zhao really the Chosen One?" After Ling Tian heard Zhao Nan's words, he immediately exclaimed excitedly, "This ...... How is this possible??"
"Rub, what kind of expression do you have, do you believe it or not?" Zhao Nan looked at Ling Tian's expression and said a little speechlessly.
"Letter. Ling Tian nodded, and then said with a smile: "Of course, Brother Zhao, it would be better if you could perform a little." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Nan tilted his head. I didn't understand what Ling Tian said about the performance, but after thinking about it for a while, I still understood, and then Zhao Nan sighed. "Okay, I see. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Nan raised a finger and directly broke it in front of Ling Tian.
Bang!
Ling Tian only heard a crisp sound of bones breaking, and Zhao Nan's fingers were already bent at 90 degrees, obviously broken finger bones.
However, when Ling Tian observed Zhao Nan's expression, he didn't look in the slightest pain at all, as if it wasn't his finger that was broken.
Before Ling Tian could open his mouth to ask Zhao Nan if he spoke in pain, Zhao Nan's severed finger recovered in a burst of blue lightning, and the process took less than 1 second.
"Awesome ......" Seeing the legendary thing with his own eyes, Ling Tian was stunned in surprise.
"It's not a big deal. Zhao Nan pouted and disagreed, because of this level of injury, he could recover without brushing blood at all, so Zhao Nan didn't feel anything at all.
"Huh. Ling Tian laughed a few times when he heard this, he also knew that he was making a fuss, but in his mind, the Chosen One, and even the surviving players who were still alive on Shijie, was a supreme existence, and Ling Tian's reaction was normal.
"By the way, you just said the Chosen One? In that case, there are still many Chosen One in this reality?" Zhao Nan asked with a frown.
Because according to what Zhao Nan learned from Gu Ming, since the time when he became the Black Demon King, there were very few people in the open beta of the Adras Continent and the Abyss, not to mention that they had no way to return to reality. You must know that the reason why Zhao Nan and the others were able to come back this time was because they had passed through the Gate of Truth, otherwise they might still be on the side of the underworld......
"Not much. Sure enough, Ling Tian shook his head and said, "My country's Chosen One, but there is not even one. ”
"Rub, then how do you know that I am the Chosen One?" Zhao Nan said in shock.
"The legend of the Chosen One, in fact, I heard it from abroad. Ling Tian explained: "Actually, except for us C, basically all the big countries in the world have the existence of the Chosen One, but only our country does not, so I didn't recognize Brother Zhao as the Chosen One at the beginning. ”
"Is that so?" Zhao Nan thought about it and could understand it, after all, on the side of country C, there were indeed no open beta players who came back alive, as for the Chosen One of other countries that Ling Tian said, it is estimated that the open beta players similar to the server of country M have returned, but I don't know how many there are.
However, these things were not Zhao Nan's concern, so Zhao Nan then asked a few words and didn't care.
At this time, Zhao Nan and Ling Tian were suddenly kicked open by someone outside the house, and a petite figure walked in, but it was Harriototo who had gone out to "move his muscles".
"Oh, this kid is awake?" When Harriotto came in, he saw Ling Tian who had woken up, so he tilted his head and looked at him curiously.
"Brother Zhao...... This, this is ......" Ling Tian recognized Harioto and immediately asked nervously, "She...... Who is she?"
"Oh, this is my mount. Zhao Nan said very calmly.
"Huh?" Ling Tian was visibly shocked by this answer, as he clearly remembered Harrioto's body, the red dragon that was as huge as a hill.
At first, Ling Tian thought that Zhao Nan was the "Shadow One", but now it seemed that the "Shadow One" could never fly here on the red dragon, but now that Ling Tian understood that Zhao Nan was the "Heavenly Choice", the situation was completely different.
"Damn, who do you say is the mount?" Harriotto here was angry and jumped on Zhao Nan's head and bit it.
Zhao Nan didn't care about her at all, because Zhao Nan knew that she wouldn't really bite, because before coming here, Zhao Nan had already reached an "agreement" with Hariotto.
According to Zhao Nan's current strength, he can easily subdue Hariotto by editing a confinering type of order, so now Hariotto does not dare to make a mistake at all, and Zuihou has become Zhao Nan's "mount" again at Zhao Nan's request.
"This ...... Brother Zhao is okay, right?" Ling Tian couldn't help but ask with the corners of his mouth twitching when he saw that Zhao Nan had been bitten by Harrioteto.
"Oh, it's fine. Zhao Nan waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then stood up and said, "Compared to this, I want you to help me do something." ”
"What's the matter?" Ling Tianhu wondered.
"Take me to the 'safe zone' you just mentioned. Zhao Nan said in a deep voice.
"This ......" Ling Tian was just about to speak, but another person walked in outside the door, it happened to be Serostia who had gone out with Harriototo. (To be continued......)
