The warm white light dispersed.
Wang Chen walked out of the teleportation circle.
A cold and depressing scene came into view:
On the ground, which was as dark as scorched earth, grew dry and bent poplars. The twisted postures of those trees resembled people howling in pain.
A hoarse and neighing crow stood on the top of a bare tree branch, tilting its head to look at Wang Chen. The edge of its hook-like pointed beak was stained with dark red blood drops.
The hazy mist shrouded the bare woods, making everything shadowy, as if there were bloodthirsty walking corpses hiding behind the trees.
The faint sunlight cast sporadically from the branches made this gloomy scene even more desolate.
"Is this the Dark Plateau? It really deserves its name!"
Wang Chen was secretly shocked.
The prompt sounds:
[Enter the copy: Dark Plateau, the level is suppressed below level ten! 】
"It doesn't matter, I'm just a one-turn little Karami anyway!"
Wang Chen identified the direction and prepared to go to the core hinterland.
At this time, a group of people suddenly walked out from the misty bald forest and surrounded Wang Chen.
"Hey, little brother!" The leader was a lean middle-aged man with triangular eyes, "Are you here to gain resources or gain experience?"
Wang Chen carefully looked at their number, and at a glance there were seven or eight people. Judging from their appearance, there were at least three main combat professionals.
But you are weak, so be careful.
"This has nothing to do with you, right?" Wang Chen said, "Please get out of the way, I want to pass!"
"Little brother, don't be so angry!" Triangle Eyes gave an ugly smile, "My name is Fu Yunsheng, and I am the captain of this scavenger team!"
"We often hang out on the Dark Plateau and are quite familiar with this area. We know all the dangerous monsters. Why don't we protect our little brother!"
Fu Yunsheng looked at Wang Chen maliciously.
"I see that this little brother with thin arms and legs is just a human being. If he is killed in an accident, why waste his good years?"
He put on a coy look.
"Even for people like us brothers, we can't do it in vain. How about you pay us this amount?"
He stretched out his right palm and spread his fingers.
"fifty thousand?"
Wang Chen was surprised.
He didn't want to hire a scavenger team. He couldn't hand his back to the people he just met. What's more, as the uncle reminded, these people were probably the perpetrators of the crime.
But the price is surprisingly cheap. In this extremely dangerous area, it is very cost-effective.
"It's fifty thousand, but -" Fu Yunsheng smiled and nodded, "It's fifty thousand per person!"
"We brothers haven't all arrived yet. I'll give you a discount. Just give us a total of five hundred thousand!"
"Dream!" Wang Chen sneered, "Five hundred thousand can buy several pieces of bronze equipment!"
"Come to this dark plateau, whether it's a dragon coiled or a tiger lying down, no matter what level you are, it's like a turn, all living beings are equal!" Wang Chen's eyes swept over the faces of all the scavengers, "Everyone is at level ten, Do you think you are worth so much?"
He finally understood.
These people are just gangsters who use the pretense of protecting people but are actually extorting money.
then.
Wang Chen's storage ring flashed, and Sen Zhilan held it in his hand.
"Get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Seeing this, the scavengers also grabbed their weapons with fierce eyes.
For a time, the two sides were at war with each other.
After a while, Fu Yun raised the tip of the knife at his side and said, "Put everything down and let the little brother pass!"
Wang Chen was stunned when he heard this.
That's it?
He originally planned to deal with these guys.
Next, the scavengers moved sparsely through a path, and Wang Chen walked through it holding Sen Zhilan tightly.
Although the scavengers stared at him fiercely, they did not take action.
Wang Chen's figure disappeared into the clouds and mist.
"Boss, that kid has a storage ring. He must be a fat sheep. We have to kill him!"
As soon as he left, Baldhead immediately approached Fu Yunsheng and whispered.
Fu Yunsheng glanced at him.
"Are all the fat sheep going to be slaughtered? There are fewer and fewer ordinary professionals coming to this wretched place, they are all colleagues. I finally caught one this time, of course I want to make a fortune!"
"But we have to find out the true character of that kid first. Anyone who dares to come here alone is either a big dog with a lot to rely on, or someone who is really powerful. That's why I asked him to stop. Let's not do it recklessly. It's not worth breaking our brothers!"
Later, Fu Yunsheng said to a short man in the team:
"Skinny Monkey, follow this kid and leave marks along the way. We will come right after!"
The man nicknamed Slender Monkey responded, turned around and ran into the fog very quickly.
"Boss, you have to be foresighted!"
The bald man smiled flatteringly.
"Stop flattering these low-tech people!" Fu Yunsheng slapped his bald head, "Go check the baggage and ask the coolies to move it quickly. After setting up camp, we can go after the thin monkey!"
"okay!"
The bald man rubbed his scalp with bared teeth and walked towards the mist.
Soon.
The sound of beatings and scoldings came from the mist.
"Walk faster, you lazy ass!"
"And you, Daliyong, you're quite free, right? Why go to help him? Be careful, I'll chop off your hand!"
Accompanied by the sound of flesh being whipped.
…
After Wang Chen escaped from the siege of scavengers, he walked all the way in the bald forest.
After four or five minutes, he estimated that he should have gone far, so he slowly stopped and took out the distribution map of dark creatures while adjusting his breathing.
"It says here that once you exit the teleportation formation, you will enter the [Forest of Clouds and Mist]!" Wang Chen looked at the dense fog surrounding him, "It should be right here without a doubt!"
"I should go through this forest and reach the [Barren Dry Land], which is the only way to the [Swamp of the Dead]... Huh? Is this annotation?"
"The mist in [Cloud Forest] will affect people's breathing and make those who inhale it feel extremely tired!"
Wang Chen suddenly realized, no wonder his breathing was a little short after walking for a short while.
"But the effect of this mist should be regarded as an effect reduction buff, right?"
Wang Chen thought of this, smiled, and summoned the system reversal.
[The reversal effect has been turned on, please check it yourself. The original effect can be restored after reversing it again】
[The cold mist filling the forest of clouds and mists]
[Effect: Those who inhale the mist will slowly recover their physical strength and fatigue]
[Special note: When the reversal effect is applied to a range target, the reversal range can be accurately adjusted. The current default is to reverse targets within one meter of the host]
Wang Chen finished reading the information on the system panel, closed it, and took a deep breath of the lingering mist.
The originally cold fog.
After inhaling it, there is a feeling of warmth in the nose.
With the breathing, it spreads to the lungs, spreads and merges into the limbs and bones.
Wang Chen was refreshed, and the traces of fatigue on his body were swept away.
"If you build a house and live here, I'm afraid it won't extend your life over time!"
Wang Chen secretly said.
"Reversing the system is really convenient. His arsenic is my honey!"
Wang Chen was full of energy. After putting away the distribution map of dark creatures, he ran towards the direction of the dry land with poor water.
After Wang Chen left.
A sneaky figure followed closely behind.
Every ten meters it traveled or after changing direction, the figure carved a mark on the bare tree trunk.
