Unknowingly, darkness has fallen in the Black Forest. Countless players are fighting with skeletons in the wilderness. Some have even been killed more than once. Their bones have long been enveloped and invaded by the dark atmosphere, becoming... The lowest level of skeleton soldiers.
Continuously coming from the resurrected city, the players have lost their earlier arrogance after experiencing too many deaths and have begun to unite. Although there are still some loners, there are only a handful of them.
After all, if you go alone, you will either be brave or die very quickly. Players' unions have also begun to contact each other more frequently, although these unions are organizations that are not recognized by the kingdom of Esgaia. , but everyone is together by default, and at least they can help each other.
A team of dozens of players are running fast in the dark forest. There are men and women in the team. The configuration is reasonable. Warriors are on the periphery, mages are in the middle, and there are also wandering investigators. , although the equipment is diverse, most of the conspicuous regular positions are still gathered together.
Everyone was holding torches in their hands, because it was too dark, otherwise they would not be able to see anything. Although there is no real difference between day and night here, when day time comes, there is no surrounding darkness. So thick, the field of view is relatively better.
But it's different at night. It's almost impossible to see. If you run like this without a torch, it's just asking for death. However, the torches in their hands are all made by themselves, because when they first planned to use local materials, The target was chosen on the surrounding trees.
But what is absolutely unexpected is that those people will definitely make them experience a painful death. Some people originally just cut some branches, but the moment they got closer, no one knew which idiot kicked them first. A tree, good guy, the surrounding trees were all fucking alive, and terrifying branches quickly wrapped around them before anyone who came close could react.
The entanglement was just the beginning. Like maggots, countless shriveled granules appeared on the branches and began to pierce into the captured players. The terror had just begun. The granules that penetrated into the players' bodies began to suck in an instant. The flesh and blood of the players was not so fast, but at a speed visible to the naked eye, the players' bodies were sucked out.
And at the moment when those players who were close to the strange trees around them were caught, other players knew that it was too late to save them, so they could only run away desperately, but they felt that it was too late, because the strange trees around them were already in their way. When his attention was attracted, he quietly stretched the branches towards them. By the time they reacted, they had no chance to break away from the branches that were getting tighter and tighter and sucking their own flesh and blood.
This has also reduced the original team of nearly two hundred people to only a few dozen people now. However, although the number has been reduced, it has made them more elite. After all, in such an environment, they have some strength of their own. Only then can you escape, plus a little bit of luck.
Although that happened two days ago, and the dead people have been resurrected and are on their way here, they all know that the chance of meeting again is completely negligible. Even if they enter the same place at the same time, but recently In the end, they will definitely be scattered, and the environment here will not allow them to find each other.
However, now that the team is leaner and more elite, their actions have become more flexible.
"Boss, where are we going now!?" Someone in the marching team suddenly asked.
The soldier at the front of the team lowered his voice, but tried his best to let the whole team hear, "Same as before, find a place to hide first, otherwise, such a night will be too difficult, don't use me Say, everyone should be very tired already!”
Everyone understood what he meant, because everyone's physical strength was running low and they had to find a place to rest and replenish food.
"Boss, didn't we meet another team of players a few days ago? Why, why not join them!?" It was the same person who asked the question before. He asked everyone's doubts. After all, there were more people. , isn’t it safer! ?
The leader of the warrior looked back at the others and understood that he must explain such doubts, otherwise, as the old saying goes, it will be difficult to lead the team if the people's hearts are broken!
"You should have noticed that the team we met a few days ago had at least two hundred people. Have you ever heard of the saying, 'A dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist'? The party with more people must be in a dominant position. If When danger comes, do you think it’s us who rush in front, or they who rush in front!?”
The leader's words immediately made everyone understand that if you meet by chance, don't expect others to stand in your way. If you don't, it's fine.
At this time, the people who were investigating at the front suddenly reported that they found a cave ahead, which could be used as a temporary resting place.
Soon, dozens of people came to the vicinity of the cave that the investigators said, and found that the environment here was indeed pretty good. It was backed by a hill several hundred meters high, and the rocks were rugged. There was no possibility of being attacked from behind. , and directly in front of the cave, there is almost a flat river, nearly one kilometer of open space, which can definitely allow them to spot the incoming skeletons very well. Although the field of vision is still limited, the skeletons make a clicking sound when they walk. , but it is easier to spread!
Out of caution, the leading warrior player took a few people into the cave first. After confirming that there was no danger, he quickly allowed other players to enter. Of course, this did not make him take it lightly, and he still sent out scouts with relatively high physical strength. Players are responsible for guarding outside, while the remaining people take the time to eat and restore their physical strength.
This cave is not small, it must be three to five hundred square meters. Although it is uneven and a little damp inside, it is very rare to have such a relatively safe place after running around all day, and a fire is lit in the center. Finally, the cold air inside was slightly dissipated, but to completely dispel it, a large fire would be needed. However, the noise caused by that was not small, and it was really too dangerous.
Everyone was chatting with each other, but somewhere they didn't know, there was a pair of eyes watching their every move.
…
"Kill, brothers, rush in one direction, otherwise, we will all die, follow me, hurry up..." Continuous shouts resounded in the dark forest night on the land full of dense forests.
This is a team of more than a hundred people. Although the majority of them are warriors, there are still a certain number of mages. In such a will team, almost all the warriors are in the front, and a small number of warriors protect the team. The mage's output has been fiercely attacking in one direction.
And around them are densely packed skeletons. Although these skeletons seem to collapse at a touch, what you need to know is that these are all skeletons at the lowest level. No matter how many they kill, more of these miscellaneous soldiers will emerge and consume them. Their mana and stamina.
Looking at the skeletons with no end in sight, this team was almost in despair. Although they seemed very brave now, they had advanced nearly a kilometer in a few minutes, but the consumption of magic and physical strength was very large. And people are still falling down. Although these are just miscellaneous soldiers, the terrifying number completely covers the gap in strength.
As time goes by, more people are falling, not because of being attacked by skeletons, but because of the violent consumption of physical strength, which has made them unable to keep up with the speed of the team. Although they are eating while moving forward, it is already too late. Looking at the skeletons gathering together, even if they wanted to resist, they could no longer lift the sword or the weak magic wand in their hands!
Under the disorderly blades of the skeletons, the blood volume was quickly depleted, and then in the darkness, the journey began in the cemetery waiting for resurrection!
The team advancing in the sea of skeletons had no intention of stopping to rescue their companions, because they themselves were too overwhelmed to take care of themselves, and the physical exertion was equally intense. Although they had not yet fallen, they were already holding on, and they were getting more and more. The slower their forward speed and the weaker their resistance, all indicate that they may be overwhelmed by the skeleton army at any time.
The only thing that is the same is that behind them or in front of them, there is still a pair of eyes, watching their actions coldly!
…
A slim female player put away her shovel, wiped the sweat from her head, and let out a long breath, "Finally the digging is done!"
After that, she lay down and crawled into a cave dug along a mountain. The entrance of the cave could only allow a smaller woman like her to pass through. It was one meter deep and the space inside was not bad at two meters. She lit a very Small candles to start today’s dinner!
However, what she didn't expect was that she was not alone. Through the thick mountain, a pair of eyes watched her every move ruthlessly, but she didn't notice it at all.
…
Tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of players are all experiencing their own different fates, life or death, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that the fate being watched is not from the crystal ball of their respective city lords, but in the Black Forest. , the eyes that always make them invisible, the kind of sight that looks directly at everything.
The eternal theme of the black forest is the darkness that will never change, but in the sky or in mid-air, no matter where you are, there seem to be pairs of eyes cast in the darkness, without any movement, but always accompanying them in the black forest. Players around, even those recorded crystal balls, had no reaction at all.
This is a world of night, and in the darkness, there are countless sights hidden, watching everything here. However, these countless sights do not represent countless creatures, but the only one from here who can A master who unscrupulously peeps at others.
No one noticed that they were being spied on. Whether it was the players here or the people outside the Black Forest, no matter what they did, they were all seen clearly!
