Mu You raised his head and glanced around.
He was currently at the exit of the teleportation array in another city. There was another entrance to the teleportation array not far away. There were also some people queuing up, but the number of people could be counted on one hand.
Obviously, this place called Heim City is much more remote than Sunset City, and there are fewer people who can afford the teleportation array.
After a while, it was almost three o'clock in the morning. Mu You didn't stop in the city. He went straight out of the city gate and found a remote wasteland in the mountains and forests outside the city. He placed a dark stone in a crevice. Teleportation array.
Then he switched to his vampire skin and headed straight for the southern sea at full speed.
By the time he ran all the way to the beach, it was already six in the morning, and some fish belly white was visible on the horizon.
As morning came, the vampire's attribute bonus was approaching zero, and the effect of the sleeping curse began to become rampant. Mu You simply switched back to the fisherman's skin.
But how to cross the sea next?
Mu You reopened the map and took a look. Don't look at the map, but the seaside is only a palm's length away from the triangular sea area. In fact, switching to the real distance, it is at least a few hundred nautical miles!
He has to swim there by himself, and one day is definitely not enough!
Mu You was thinking about whether to go into the water and find a mount like a blue-scaled seahorse. Suddenly he noticed a small boat floating on the coast in front of him. Two people were talking on the side of the boat. One was standing on the shore and the other was standing on the boat. , seems to be the owner of the boat.
The reason why Mu You paid attention to these two people was because he found that they were both players.
[Level 10 player (dragon coming out of the cave), attributes: strength 20, agility 21, intelligence 19, constitution 25, health 2500, magic value 1900, currently loaded skin: Boatman. 】
[Level 4 player, attributes: strength 10, agility 10, intelligence 7, constitution 4, health 400, magic 700, currently loaded skin: none. 】
A level 10 veteran player and a newbie who doesn’t even have a skin.
The two people also spotted Mu You in the distance at this time, and the level 10 boatman among them immediately waved to greet him from a distance.
"Brother, do you need a boat? We are about to go out to sea!"
Ninety-five percent of the people who will appear alone at the beach at this time are players.
Mu You didn't care. This boatman seemed to be a player who specialized in taking people out to sea to make money. In today's tense situation, there will definitely be players who are being hunted and fleeing to the beach from time to time. This person is waiting here, providing temporary rescue, and making a small amount of money. This kind of job is really good.
Mu You approached, but just after taking a few steps closer, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.
The two people seemed to be discussing the price of going overseas. The new player looked normal and talked intermittently. It was obvious that the player was controlling the game and typing, so his words were intermittent.
However, the veteran players on the ship spoke very fluently and acted extremely naturally, which was completely different from other players he had seen along the way.
Seeing this scene, Mu You suddenly had a suspicion in his heart: Could it be that this boatman, like him, was a real person who came to this world through the door?
Thinking of this possibility, Mu You said nothing, continued to approach quietly, and asked about the price of the boat ride.
While talking, he imitated the appearance of the new player next to him, deliberately acting stiff.
As expected, the boatman didn't notice anything unusual. While answering, his eyes quietly lingered on Mu You.
Mu You didn't reveal any special treasures at this time. Except for the magic wand and the mud shoes on his feet, everything else was stored in his backpack.
"It takes four years to go to sea and go to the opposite coast. You can pay a one-year deposit first, and pay the rest when you arrive at the location." The young boatman looked specifically at Mu Youyou when he said this. It was obvious that he had just made an agreement with the new players. price.
Mu You deliberately paused for a few seconds before nodding mechanically: "Okay."
[You agreed to the transportation deal with the boatman, and your lifespan is -1. 】
"Okay, let's get on the boat."
Mu You followed the new player and stepped onto the boat, while the boatman walked to the bow and paddled to start the boat.
The boat slowly began to swim in the water, and its speed gradually increased.
Through the Omniscient Crystal, Mu You discovered that the boat was a rare blue prop and moved much faster than expected.
[Wind-riding boat: A light boat that can move quickly in the water. It can carry up to four people. It can use the energy of the sea wind to double its speed when going downwind and halve its speed when going against the wind. 】
Sitting on the boat, Mu You imitated the movements of new players, staring straight ahead, like an emotionless robot.
However, from the corner of his eye, he could notice that the boatman turned back and glanced at the two of them from time to time, with obvious greed in his eyes.
In addition, the direction of the boat's swimming was not towards the opposite shore, but directly riding the wind and swimming towards the depths of the sea at full speed. Mu You knew that this person's purpose was certainly not innocent.
The reason why Mu You boarded this ship even though he knew it was a scam... was mainly because he fell in love with this ship.
He can be regarded as an expert and daring player, just a level 10 player. He does not think that the other party is his opponent, not to mention that with the fish-man mask around, he can go into the water at any time, and he is completely innocent at this time.
After driving so quietly for an hour, the sea in front suddenly became dense.
Layers of turbid miasma floated on the sea surface, forming a straight line along the sea surface leading to the horizon, which looked extremely strange.
The boat sailed into the miasma without slowing down the wind. The three of them suddenly felt that their whole bodies were soaked by the miasma, and their breathing and movement became a little uncomfortable.
Mu You estimates that this should be the so-called 'Devil's Triangle Sea Area'.
Sure enough, a prompt came to my mind.
[You have entered the devil's sea. Please note that if you die here, you will have no chance of resurrection. 】
At this time, Mu You noticed that the boatman took out a piece of transparent dough and covered his face.
Well, a very familiar thing, a fish-man mask.
He deliberately dragged them to the Devil's Sea and put on masks for underwater breathing... Mu You immediately understood what this person wanted to do.
If you drown here, the NPC will turn into a ghost and cannot be resurrected. What about the players?
I don’t know if a player who becomes a ghost will be deleted from the game, but it is certain that a player who cannot be resurrected will have all his assets exposed!
At this time, the new player had obviously received the game prompt and immediately stood up and asked the boatman: "What's going on? Aren't you going to the other side? Where is the Devil's Sea?"
"Haha, don't blame me for being heartless. It's not easy to make some money these days, so I sent you here!"
The boatman sneered, and while speaking, he waved the magic wand in his hand, and a flame missile took shape quickly, whizzing towards the opposite side.
But it was not for the newcomers, but for Mu You.
Mu You is obviously the stronger among the two. Even if the young man does not have the omniscient crystal, he can still make such a simple judgment. At this time, he must give priority to dealing with the threats. As for the new guy, he can do it with just a few slaps. Can be shot to death.
The young man had already prepared a series of follow-up attacks, but what he didn't expect was that Mu You didn't even dodge in the face of the incoming missiles, as if he didn't react, and he was hit by the missiles while sitting still. Just then, he screamed, his whole body was on fire and he was thrown into the water.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
It's not like he has never seen this situation before. The game is hung up. It's impossible for a person to stare at it for a long time without blinking. Maybe the person is not in front of the phone at this time, and no one is controlling the game character, so naturally he can't react.
It would be much easier to deal with this threatening thing!
The boatman immediately turned to attack the newcomer and fired several attack spells in succession.
The poor newcomer only had 400 health points. How could he withstand such a bombardment? Without even a single serious resistance, his health bar dropped to zero and he fell to the ground unwillingly.
When he died, the flesh and blood all over his body immediately disintegrated quickly, as if corroded by strong acid. In the blink of an eye, only a thin and shrunken white skeleton was left. Next to the skeleton, several things fell out with a clanking sound.
The boatman took a few glances and saw that they were all ordinary props of low value. He cursed "poor guy" secretly, put away the things, kicked the skeleton off the boat, and then jumped into the sea.
Originally, he didn't expect a newcomer with no skin to reveal anything good. His real target was the old player who fell into the water just now.
After jumping into the water, the boatman dived all the way down to where the man fell into the water. If that person is left unattended, he will soon sink to the bottom and be drowned.
And even if someone rushes back to control it, it will be too late. He has a breathing mask, and others in the water cannot be his opponent.
The boatman curled his wand and prepared for battle. However, until he swam all the way to the bottom of the sea and searched around the area, he still found no trace of the man.
"not good!"
With no one alive and no dead body, the boatman finally realized something was wrong. Could it be that the man didn't cover up his death and instead swam back to the boat while he was in the water?
The boatman hurried back to the surface.
However, something happened that made him even more desperate. At this moment, the sea was empty, and his boat was missing!
"Fuck, I got fooled!" The boatman yelled angrily, but he quickly calmed down.
In such a short time, even if the other party sails away, it is impossible for him to escape from his sight so quickly...
There is only one possibility: the other party also has the means to breathe underwater. He probably fell into the water on purpose just now, with the purpose of luring him into the water and then coming back to steal his boat!
In this case, the other party is most likely still nearby at this time, maybe hiding somewhere and watching him!
The boatman shuddered. The enemy was in the dark but he was in the light, and he was still in such waters where there was no way to revive him. He admitted that he was indeed afraid.
Without any time to think, he hurriedly took out a new boat from his backpack, rowed as hard as he could, and sailed out of the sea in an emergency.
It wasn't until the reminder came to his mind to leave the 'Devil's Sea' that he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that that person was also wary of him and did not dare to attack him.
However, the boatman had no time to relax at this time. He lost a very valuable boat. The current backup boat was much slower, and there was not much time left. He had to go back quickly, otherwise he would be delayed in closing and be left behind. It's miserable here.
The boatman hurriedly set up the boat and swam in one direction, quickly leaving the area.
Shortly after the boatman left, Mu You emerged from the water, looked at the direction the boatman left, silently dove into the water, and continued to chase him.
In fact, he was fully capable of keeping this man in the water forever just now. The reason why he deliberately let him leave was to follow him and see where the door through which this man came was hidden.
