Stupid, what do fleeting points represent? We're only in the free exploration phase; the real slaughter hasn't even begun... Zhang Yuanqing mentally scoffed at the Peony Fairy.
He immediately realized that her thinking was shared by most of the official players. For many Five Elements Alliance The Way of the Extraordinary, they came to this killing instance with great confidence because the genius player who had been clearing instances, Yuan Shi Tianzun, was in the instance.
Hugging the big boss's leg to get through... Most of the official players had similar thoughts.
As a result, the instance had just started, and the genius player in their minds had fallen to a mediocre 23rd place. They might not doubt or criticize him because of this, but they were definitely feeling frustrated.
I'm actually thinking about these things; it seems I have an image issue too... Zhang Yuanqing ridiculed himself inwardly, but remained outwardly indifferent:
"So, it's just a trivial matter. Don't be so easily startled. Yuan Shi Tianzun is just lucky, barely passing a few S-level instances. Isn't it only natural that his ranking is low?"
He took the opportunity to say a few bad things about himself, distancing himself from Yuan Shi Tianzun. Peony Fairy frowned slightly, feeling annoyed, but she held back and continued walking without comment.
She greatly admired Yuan Shi Tianzun. Besides being a young hero, Yuan Shi Tianzun's appearance also matched her aesthetics. Peony Fairy was a fervent fan of Yuan Shi Tianzun, so she didn't like hearing Wang Tai speak ill of him.
Asano Ryo, who was waving her sheathed katana to clear the undergrowth, turned her head in surprise upon hearing this, saying, "You're awfully arrogant. I've even heard of Yuan Shi Tianzun in Japan. But I have no impression of your name, Wang Tai. How can you speak so disrespectfully of a genius? Are you an aho?"
Zhang Yuanqing immediately sensed the cultural differences from this Japanese JK. The other party was clearly a sentient being capable of communication, but you just didn't know how to communicate with her.
Because her actions and speaking style always made you feel a deep generation gap.
"Aho means idiot, right!" Zhang Yuanqing expressionlessly took out the Bloodthirsty Blade and said calmly:
"Guide dog, let me teach you what the consequences are for disrespecting your master."
"Dame dame..." Asano Ryo shouted.
She admitted defeat quickly.
Zhang Yuanqing smoothly sheathed the Bloodthirsty Blade, mocking, "Is this all the backbone of a partner of justice?"
Asano Ryo said seriously, "My teacher and elders often taught me to have the courage to admit mistakes."
"What else did your teacher and elders teach you?" "As a Lawful aligned, be a partner of justice."
While chatting aimlessly, Zhang Yuanqing gained a deeper understanding of the Japanese JK.
Asano Ryo was 17 years old this year, born into a wealthy family, and because she wasn't the heir, she stayed away from power struggles, living a pampered life like a little princess. Later, she became The Way of the Extraordinary, demonstrating amazing talent. She was included in the heir list, and then taken as a disciple by the vice leader of the Thousand Crane Group. Under her teacher's guidance, she met people from all walks of life, all of whom were well-dressed and elegant.
At the same time, because there were few The Way of the Extraordinary in Japan, in order to reduce internal friction and unite talents, the Thousand Crane Group vigorously promoted the concept of "partner of justice," brainwashing The Way of the Extraordinary in the organization.
Growing up in such an environment, Asano Ryo also became a partner of justice.
Speaking of which, Asano Ryo was the same age as Xie Lingxi. Compared to the little green tea, this JK was as innocent as a moron.
But from another perspective, what kind of family environment did the little green tea have to live in to cultivate tea art to the eighth level at such a young age? At this time, Peony Fairy said, "We should meet up with the official players before considering entering the central forest. This is a killing instance, and the center must be full of dangers. More companions mean more security."
Hearing this, Asano Ryo nodded vigorously:
"Sossu~"
Zhang Yuanqing "Heh"ed and said, "Let's find the notice board first."
"I don't recommend going to kill the Monkey King."
Bai Wu Jinji, wearing flip-flops, swept over the rough men squatting on the ground and explained:
"That Monkey King is conservatively estimated to be a weak level 4, or even level 4. With our strength, it's not difficult to kill a level 4 Saint, but don't forget that the Monkey King leads a troop of monkeys.
"Based on the strength of the monkeys we just killed, each monkey's physical strength is equivalent to a level 3 bewitching demon.
"Rushing to kill the monkey troop would only result in a lose-lose situation. A Yi and I won't die, but most of you will die by half, or even more."
Hearing this, the enthusiastic evil players all calmed down. Hunting tree demons was obviously more cost-effective.
At this moment, A Yi, whose eyes were hollow, suddenly said:
"How long have we been in the instance? Sorry, I can't remember the details."
Most of the time, he was like a child with mental deficiencies, dull and dazed, or like a puppet waiting to be manipulated. He didn't speak, had no expression, and had hollow eyes. Bai Wu Jinji answered in seconds, "Almost three hours."
A Yi nodded slowly, "Three hours. We still don't know how long we have to get to the center."
Bai Wu Jinji pondered, "So you think..."
"Enter the central forest. Instinct tells me that it will be very dangerous to continue wandering on the outer layer."
Hearing this, Bai Wu Jinji looked at A Yi in shock, seeing a sharp light flashing in the depths of those hollow eyes.
Bai Wu Jinji's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's go to the central forest immediately."
He believed in the instincts of beasts.
A Yi, known as a natural Gu beast, had a far superior "scent" of danger than humans.
Under a tall, straight pine tree, "Wo Ming You Wo Bu You Tian" in a white T-shirt, light-colored jeans, and a simple Mori girl style, asked cross-legged, "So what are your plans next?"
Tian Xia Gui Huo scoffed:
"Why should I tell you, unless you exchange information. Also, give me a simple name. Your The Way of the Extraordinary ID is too long and awkward."
The young woman under the pine tree smiled knowingly and elegantly, not angry at all, and said, "Hong Wei."
Hong Wei...
Tian Xia Gui Huo nodded, "I plan to find the notice board in the central forest."
Hong Wei frowned, "Looking for the notice board..."
She noticed that Tian Xia Gui Huo didn't say enter the central forest.
"I believe Yuan Shi Tianzun is also looking for the notice board in the central area now." Tian Xia Gui Huo was confident, and smiled:
"He hasn't chosen a camp, which means he's hesitating. Hesitation means he hasn't collected information to support his choice. So, at this time, looking for the notice board in the central forest is a wise move."
Yin Chi nodded slowly:
"The instance task has a hint that the boundary of each area is based on the notice board. The notice board in the central area may be able to complete the information." Tian Xia Gui Huo's expression was unruly, but his eyes were full of wisdom, "So, my next plan is to go to the central forest and make a camp choice based on the notice board. As for you, you have already made a camp choice. Stay here and continue to accumulate points. As long as you reach the central forest before the time limit arrives."
Hong Wei examined him and tsked, "I've seen your information. I know you're very good at clearing instances, but I still find it hard to believe that you're really a Fire Master?" Tian Xia Gui Huo said proudly:
"Violence can only play a real role under the command of wisdom. Don't compare me to those brainless Fire Masters."
"This indirectly proves the power of Yuan Shi Tianzun." Hong Wei inserted a knife.
The corners of Tian Xia Gui Huo's mouth twitched slightly, and he snorted coldly, "Less nonsense, it's your turn to provide information."
Hong Wei tilted her head and thought for a while, and said:
"The information in the instance has been exchanged. I'll tell you some information outside the instance. This year, we free players are here with the mission of killing Yuan Shi Tianzun at all costs.
"The higher-ups gave Bai Wu Jinji a very special item, which is said to be able to kill Yuan Shi Tianzun."
A special item is in Bai Wu Jinji's hands... I can use this information to exchange something with Yuan Shi Tianzun... Tian Xia Gui Huo said, "You just told me the information like that?"
Hong Wei's soft and beautiful face smiled, and said:
"It doesn't matter. I never thought that killing Yuan Shi Tianzun was a must. Entering the killing instance is a life-and-death situation. It's most important to be promoted to Saint. As for Yuan Shi Tianzun, what does it have to do with me whether he lives or dies?
"The higher-ups only arrange tasks, but don't care about the life and death of the people below. They don't take our lives seriously. Don't we value our own lives?"
Tian Xia Gui Huo Hey said, "That's interesting."
"Big boss, I think you have auspicious clouds covering the top and restrained divine brilliance. You are a hidden dragon. Your future achievements will definitely be extraordinary. The killing instance is an opportunity for you to rise. Beat A Yi with your fists, step on Zhao Chenghuang, and Yuan Shi Tianzun under your crotch is today. I am willing to worship you as the boss and serve you."
Kou Beiyue held the army knife and turned back angrily, "I warn you, don't follow me anymore. I won't agree to be your boss. Go harm others."
Behind him, there was a little fat man wearing black-rimmed glasses, with a smile on his face, like a paparazzi pleasing his boss. The little fat man quickly shook his head:
"You are different from them. You are pure in heart and have clear thoughts, so you can be my boss. Those guys are too dirty and don't deserve it."
Kou Beiyue said suspiciously, "Are you mocking me for being stupid?"
"No, no, this is not stupid, this is the heart of a child." The little fat man shook his head vigorously. "Really?"
"Of course it's true. If it's fake, let me be struck by lightning." The little fat man looked sincere.
"Okay, as long as you help me find Yuan Shi Tianzun, I will agree to be your boss." Kou Beiyue took the opportunity to make a condition.
He was a little annoyed by the turn in the instance. The forest was so big that it was not easy to find Yuan Shi Tianzun. A good minister chooses his lord to devour. This guy ranked second on the list. He looked kind on the outside, but Kou Beiyue believed that the other party must have some skills.
"Ah, boss, although you have the resources of dragons and phoenixes, now is not the time to fight Yuan Shi Tianzun head-on." The little fat man looked embarrassed. "Less nonsense, if you don't agree, get out."
"Okay, if you want to find Yuan Shi Tianzun, it's not difficult. Go to the central forest and try your luck." The little fat man said. Kou Beiyue was stunned, "How do you know he can be found there in the central forest?"
The little fat man smiled and said, "Just guessing."
"Wow, there are red umbrellas here!"
Asano Ryo stopped by a section of broken wood covered with moss and pointed to the cluster of brightly colored fungi on the ground, saying happily.
"Woo woo..."
A thug covered her mouth, and the response that almost came out became "Woo".
The girl's black and white eyes widened in horror. She reached to the waist of her skirt with one hand, where there were a few Shikigami tucked in, and the thumb of the other hand held the dart. At this time, Wang Tai's solemn warning came from her ear:
"Keep going, don't respond to the call."
At this time, Asano Ryo also noticed that the call came from behind. She secretly glanced behind and found that the trees behind were waving their branches, as if they had come to life.
He is reminding me... Asano Ryo was shocked and realized that she had misunderstood the young Night Wanderer.
She nodded with a solemn face. After Zhang Yuanqing let go, Asano Ryo lowered her head and walked forward slowly, letting the calls come one after another, but she ignored them.
I don't know how long it took before the calls behind her disappeared.
Asano Ryo breathed a sigh of relief, gasped softly twice, and said in a charming voice: "It's so terrible~" Mr. Wang Tai, I misunderstood you. You are a partner of justice, not a fallen one."
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at her and ignored her. He kept his Fu Qingyang personality in mind. Asano Ryo didn't care, but thought it was Mr. Wang Tai's personality. She said happily:
"You also found clothes for me. You didn't peep at me, and you didn't want to take advantage of me."
What's so good about Wangzai milk flavored cookie? If you hold it in your mouth, you are afraid that it will melt in your mouth... Zhang Yuanqing complained irritably. Although Asano Ryo is a very high-quality JK, similar beautiful girls are not rare around him, such as Xie Lingxi, such as Jiang Jingwei... Here only the appearance is discussed, not the IQ.
And there are really too many mature and plump big sisters.
Asano Ryo's appearance and figure are not enough to turn him into a pervert. The Japanese girl smiled brightly and strode forward lightly, seeming a little happy. She was happy to meet a good person, and a very powerful good person.
In this terrible instance, having reliable teammates means having hope of survival.
Finally, after trekking for an hour, the guide dog who was scouting the way ahead exclaimed in surprise:
"Notice board, I saw the notice board!"
Zhang Yuanqing and Peony Fairy looked in the direction she was pointing, and sure enough, they saw a notice board standing among the lush green bushes.
The three immediately quickened their pace and approached.
It is a pity that this is a... blank notice board Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, this was different from what he thought. Zhang Yuanqing had rushed over from a long distance to collect the contents of the notice board in the central forest to see if he could supplement the information on the outer layer.
Who knew that the notice board was blank? It's okay if the information can't be supplemented, but the blank means that after entering the central area, they will have to cross the river by feeling the stones.
This is the worst situation.
"What's wrong?" Peony Fairy asked.
Zhang Yuanqing shook his head slightly, "It's okay, since we are here, let's go into the central forest and have a look."
Saying that, he gave the jungle guide dog a look, signaling her to go in and explore the way.
It doesn't make sense to just stand there.
Asano Ryo took a deep breath, clenched the Ice Soul Knife, crossed the notice board, and walked towards the central area.
Flatten”
Her head trembled violently, as if she had hit an invisible wall. Asano Ryo covered her forehead and staggered back.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
Her forehead was red, and two streaks of bright red flowed from her delicate nose, grinning her teeth for a while.
Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and walked to the notice board, reached out his hand, and cautiously probed forward. He touched an invisible wall.
At the same time, a task prompt came from his ear [Ding! You have not met the conditions to enter the next level. ]
"Didn't meet the conditions..." Zhang Yuanqing repeated in a low voice. He was surprised by this, but not particularly surprised. Thinking carefully, the difficulty level of the outer layer was too low.
Tree demons and monkey troops are difficult to threaten The Way of the Extraordinary.
And masters like him almost came to the central forest unscathed.
Such a level of difficulty obviously does not meet the killing instance.
"What counts as meeting the conditions? Is it to unlock the secret of the contradictions in the precautions, or to choose a camp? I haven't killed a tree demon, but I have killed a monkey. Does it count as choosing a camp after killing... Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing asked: "Ryo, have you ever killed a tree demon?"
Asano Ryo blushed: "Sudd, suddenly calling people so intimately... I killed a tree demon, when I first encountered a tree demon attack."
She was referring to the time when the two dead companions triggered the hatred value of the wood demon. The requirement to meet the conditions is not to choose a camp. There are other plots hidden outside Zhang Yuanqing frowned in thought.
"Why is this happening? What conditions need to be met?" Peony Fairy tried and looked at Zhang Yuanqing, "Wang Tai, what should we do now?"
"Wait," Zhang Yuanqing said. "Wait"
"Well, wait for the time limit to arrive, wait for other The Way of the Extraordinary to arrive. We can't get in, and they can't get in either. If everyone can't get in, they will definitely spontaneously organize to discuss how to enter." Zhang Yuanqing talked eloquently, "This is the most cost-effective way."
"Didn't meet the conditions"
Kou Beiyue looked at the little fat man beside him and said blankly, "What are the conditions?" The little fat man no longer smiled, his face was solemn, and he shook his head, "I don't know." "Sure enough, it's not that easy to enter the next level."
Tian Xia Gui Huo pondered for a few seconds and said, "Let's wait here until the time limit arrives."
Yin Chi next to him nodded, which was the same as what he thought.
As time passed, more and more people rushed to the central forest, and then everyone encountered the same problem.
一一 Unable to enter the central forest The area is large, even if the circumference is not as long as the outer layer, it is still difficult for The Way of the Extraordinary to gather together.
They gathered in twos and threes, scratching their heads and discussing.
"Are we the only ones who haven't met the conditions?" "What are the so-called conditions? We didn't encounter anything except tree demons and monkeys along the way. We also strictly followed the contents on the notice board... I don't understand this instance at all."
"I just saw Tian Xia Gui Huo and Wo Ming You Wo Bu You Tian get together, they don't seem to be able to get in either."
"It's good that Tian Xia Gui Huo can't get in, at least it shows that everyone can't get in, not just us."
"What about Yuan Shi Tianzun? Did you find him? If you encounter this situation, it's safer to follow him."
"It's not very stable, his points have dropped to 36th place."
Just when The Way of the Extraordinary were at a loss, the countdown ended, and five full hours had passed since entering the spirit realm.
"I Have a Scroll of Gods and Demons"
The existing 120 players simultaneously received the instance prompt at this moment [Ding! The elves living in the forest were brutally slaughtered by outside tourists. The wailing of the clansmen awakened the sleeping Tree King Su. Prepare to welcome its wrath]
[Ding! Please escape from here as soon as possible and enter the central forest area. ]
