Chapter 575
575 The forest of prophecy, Night shadow of the giant worm
“I’m going to find my parents.” a young girl who looked to be about 17 or 18 years old shouted, but several other girls of similar age held her tightly and advised her not to be impulsive.
Another teenager not far away retorted in disdain, ” you were the one who insisted on the graduation trip outside the province from the beginning. Now that it’s projected over, although it’s not as far as the absolute distance of 400 kilometers on earth, it’s at least 100 kilometers. Do you think we can cross it safely?”
The young man who spoke was classmates with the twenty-odd boys and girls beside him. However, he was not wearing the linen shirt of ordinary transmigrators and civilians, but a smooth and beautiful half-body armor that had just been maintained.
Coupled with the armor and the heavy axe on his back, in addition to the 28 talent point account he inherited after transmigrating, he had a strong and muscular body. Even in the wilderness, he was still valiant and heroic.
This was also the reason why he had become the backbone of the team in just half a day.
In fact, not everyone was reunited after transmigrating. The entire Savage barren lands was much smaller than the land area of earth. The spatial distance of everyone during the projection seemed to have undergone a topological transformation.
The distance between them had changed, but the general direction hadn’t changed. If the city of his family and friends on earth was in the East, then it wouldn’t be a big problem to rush to the East.
Six to seven billion people flooded into Arthur, and only a few places like the Wildlands, which were completely undeveloped and like a natural forbidden zone, could accommodate them.
With this method of dropping coordinates, there would naturally be people who were unlucky enough to appear in an extremely dangerous and arduous environment.
From the barren Rock area that was a hundred kilometers away to the swamp that covered the entire Seye area, everything was available.
the 10% reduction in members was entirely due to the misfortune of the reincarnation site.
After Zhao Xu made sure that most of the places of origin in the Huaxia region were safe, he sent more people to a few areas in the region that had less resources.
As for those on the outside, they didn’t pay much attention to it, mainly because they couldn’t do it.
why can’t we break through? you saw the camp areas just now. Most of us here were once Arthur players, and our combat power is good. As long as we stick together, we can break through. the young girl said, unconvinced.
each of us has our own parents and family. We can’t say what kind of suffering they are suffering right now, so we should use our current abilities to find them and take care of them.
She wanted to continue her dream of being a singer, so she chose to be a poet in the game.
The bards wandered around, collecting all kinds of local legends and spreading them everywhere.
This profession cast magic through music, causing the audience to shed tears and rejoice at other times.
This kind of life of traveling all over the world made bards face all kinds of people, so this profession often became a diplomat, mediator, Messenger, Scout, or spy.
At this moment, under the girl’s deliberate actions, her performance condensed a deep explosive power that reached the level of an S card. The penetrating power of her voice penetrated everyone’s heart.
In Arthur, every player silently discovered that their class abilities and skills were beginning to shine.
And near the boys and girls were another group of more than ten middle-aged tourists who happened to share the same bus with them.
a fat, middle-aged man with a greasy face walked out and said slowly, ” dear students, uncle and aunty support your ambition to care for your family.
“But can we first settle the uncles and aunties in a safe place before going? For example, the new place we heard about, Yanan, feels pretty good.”
At this time, the dozen or so middle-aged men and women behind him all nodded, revealing an expectant look. At least half of the high school students in the group were players, and there were few players at their age.
In fact, if it weren’t for a certain forest ranger player in the team who had found a cave for everyone to temporarily shelter them from the heavy rain, everyone would have been drenched.
However, these people held on tightly to the new linen clothes that they had been bestowed. In this resource-poor place, it was likely that they would only have these two clothes to rotate for a few months.
“Ha, you still want to go to Yanan? Yanan is at the place where the light pillar was triggered.” The teenager who had retorted at the beginning pointed into the distance.
In the distant North, even during the day, one could still see a faint colorful and mysterious pillar of light falling from the sky, which reminded one of the legends of the Holy Light leading to heaven.
“after crossing the forest in front, it’s the direction where xiao li is going to find her parents. After that, follow that direction for another four to five hundred kilometers, and you’ll be close to Yanan.”
These young men and women were all high school classmates, so they all lived in the same city and had the same direction.
“But,” The teenager snorted. she has the ability to read and hear as a Bard, but she didn’t realize where she was.
“Xiao Wei, you just came here and your face is pale? It’s obvious that you’ve already noticed where we are.”
Suddenly, everyone’s eyes fell on Nan Xiaowei.
At this moment, Nan Xiaowei’s entire body was trembling. She couldn’t help but recall the details of a place called the Barbarian death land that Zhao Xu had asked her to pay attention to.
Zhao Xu had told her to stay by her parents ‘side until July, and she had done as he said. It wasn’t until August that she went on a vacation with her classmates. Who would have thought that she would encounter such a big change?
“The forest of prophecy.”
Nan Xiaowei said in a conflicted tone, ” it’s said that it’s one of the most dangerous places in the Wildlands. It’s said that those who enter this forest will not be far from death as long as they hear the whispers of a mysterious voice in their ears.
there’s a large amount of death and resentment gathered here. Even if you don’t encounter any monsters, you might be directly affected and fall into a state of fear and trembling.
“Even if they survive by mistake, many of them go crazy. It’s precisely because of this risk that the spies and hunters in the North would rather climb the ice Mountain to the neighboring orc Empire than take a detour in the Wildlands.”
After hearing Nan Xiaowei’s words, everyone looked at the dark forest in front of them with vigilance and fear.
It was as if there was a great danger hidden under the swaying branches and leaves.
“Then forget it, let’s take a detour.” the middle-aged man suggested. however, when he looked up, the forest of prophecy was boundless, like a river that had been cut off from the ground. there was no way around it.
Unless they could fly over.
so, do you think that we, a group of noobs who have an average level of one or two and can be wiped out overnight in the wilderness, can survive in the forest of prophecy? ” The young man said sarcastically.
The other students in the class also looked ashamed. They were third-year high school students who didn’t have many levels before preparing for the college entrance examination.
He wanted to play the game after the college entrance examination, but the game closed a week before the college entrance examination.
The youngster was a level 3 warrior, but he had free time because he was taking the AP class abroad and not taking the college entrance examination.
“I don’t care,” after thinking about it, the poet girl, xiao li, insisted. she looked at her friends. as long as she got their support, it was easy for everyone to follow her pace.
There was no lack of bootlickers in the world.
“Hehe. If you want to die, then go ahead. I’m unlucky to have just recognized this place.” The young man mocked.
“No,” she said.
Suddenly, Nan Xiaowei said with difficulty, ” I just saw a strange mark on a tree, so I thought that this might be the forest of prophecy.
...
“You’re saying that we’ve already entered?” The teenager’s face instantly stiffened.
everyone’s face turned pale.
In these two days of travel, they had already seen countless skeletons on the side of the road, and even skeletons and zombies that were alive and kicking.
If it weren’t for the young men and women’s combat strength that barely blocked the undead creatures, the middle-aged men and women who lived like royalty would have died in the hands of the undead creatures.
it should be said that the moment the storm was about to arrive, we had already entered the depths of the forest in our panic. Nan Xiaowei also understood at this moment.
Suddenly, a strange laugh was heard.
the ear-piercing shrill instantly made a few girls cover their ears and squat down.
“What’s going on?”
“where is it coming from?”
“Who’s the one playing tricks!”
along with the shouts, the sharp sound of weapons being drawn resounded through the area, but it still could not hide the destruction of the strange laughter.
...
“I can’t take it anymore. I want to go home.” Suddenly, a girl who could not bear the pressure burst into tears.
“don’t quarrel,” The boy beside her was annoyed and was anxiously checking the situation, but what he got in return was a higher-pitched cry.
“who is it?” The first teenager raised his heavy axe and hacked at the air a few times, as if he was using the sound of the axe cutting through the air to motivate his heart.
at this moment, the originally loose ground suddenly trembled.
“an earthquake?” The middle-aged tourist group at the back was also looking at the ground strangely.
in the next moment, a 30-meter-long purple worm with a mouth full of dense fangs drilled out of the loose soil and instantly bit out a living person.
The purple bug swallowed the other half of the body as if it was eating a french fry.
The number of people in the entire tour group was reduced by one.
Such a brutal scene without any blood left everyone’s scalps numb.
the purple bug’s body exuded a strong, heart-chilling resentment, and a cold wind blew at them just by standing beside it.
Everyone could even smell the scent of a tomb that was suddenly opened in the winter morning.
The purple bug wasn’t satisfied with this. It instantly opened its mouth again. The mouth, which was filled with countless sharp teeth, was big enough for an adult man to stand in. It also showed everyone the terrifying structure inside.
“run!”
“help!”
the players finally reacted to the situation. the situation was split into two groups. on one side, the players raised their weapons and armor in an attempt to block the attack. on the other side, the civilians were running away.
The purple bug instantly lunged forward, so fast that even its afterimage could not be seen clearly.
A fully-armored warrior player was bitten by it.
“Liang bro!”
“Little Liang!”
Everyone cried out their companions ‘names.
However, it was to no avail. She could only watch as he was slowly swallowed up.
One of the girls was gritting her teeth, afraid that she would attract the attention of the giant purple worm.
The player named Xiao Liang had used his life to prove that the extremely hard armor that seemed to be able to run amuck in the wilderness was completely useless against the attack of the giant worm’s sharp teeth.
it was only slightly tougher than bones.
at the same time, the giant worm turned its head and looked at the people who were running away with contempt.
All the prey that dared to run away on their own should die.
The giant insect’s mouth bulged, and then it bulged out of thin air. The next moment, it opened its mouth again, and the frosty and cold breath of the winter hit them in the face.
5th-circle spell, ice awl!
The cone-shaped area with a 20-meter radius in front of it was immediately enveloped by an extremely cold air, as if it was condensed by liquefied nitrogen.
the fleeing middle-aged men and women were instantly struck by the cold qi, and a layer of frost appeared on their bodies. they immediately became extremely stiff and lost their lives.
each layer of blow dealt 1-8 points of damage, and at the level 15 cap, which meant 15 layers of power, it dealt a total of 15-120HP damage.
An average of 67 expected damage was enough to knock out most players.
A monster that could cast powerful spells!
this was beyond everyone’s imagination. even the players who wanted to fight with their weapons at the beginning felt their arms go numb, as if there were countless thin needles on the hilt, making them unable to hold it tightly.
“Xiao Wei, run!” Nan Xiaowei’s companion cried and shouted when she saw the monster staring at her.
The giant purple worm turned its head slightly to look at Nan Xiaowei. It could feel the disgusting aura of a priest from her.
However, the pressure of death also made Nan Xiaowei’s legs weak and she sat down.
She had never been on a real battlefield before, but this was the first time she felt the fear of death so torturous and close to everyone after the game became real.
“Swish!”
The sound of something breaking through the air was heard.
The boys and girls in the group couldn’t help but close their eyes, unable to bear to see Nan Xiaowei’s blood splatter on the spot.
however, after a few seconds, there was no scream.
Only then did a few of them open their eyes and look ahead.
He saw a mysterious sorcerer wearing a cloak that glimmered with shooting stars standing in front of Nan Xiaowei, who was sitting on the ground.
A pair of translucent dragon wings flickered beside the mages, wrapping them tightly.
He had also successfully blocked the attack.
At this time, the mysterious mage seemed to not care about the terrifying appearance of the giant insect that opened its bloody mouth at him. He turned his head and looked at Nan Xiaowei, who was teary-eyed.
” your ability to cause trouble is too first-class. before transmigrating, most players have only seen it a few times. to think that you would actually encounter a challenge level 18 giant worm, night shadow. ”
“If my mom didn’t inform me that you weren’t with my parents, you would have gone into their stomach.”
“Yes, brother zhongxia.” nan xiaowei smiled and wiped her tears.
Zhao Xu turned his head around and looked at night Shade, who was an undead creature with intelligence that allowed him to communicate with it.
“How do you plan to die?”
