The scene that gradually became noisy followed his forward sight and appeared between the light and dark light and shadow in the depths of the woods, and then followed the sound of the wind that kept blowing through the place and transformed into a battle scene, a scene that separated and merged. Tao's figure became clearer and clearer as the field of vision got closer, gradually distinguishing the crowd covered in armor and weapons from another group of people in black clothes and faces: "Attack! Attack me! For the glory of the empire !”
"Stop trying to be tough, ants, you are just wasting each other's time."
Different from the powerful imperial soldiers, the mysterious men in black who were guarding the depths of the jungle each hid behind the tree trunks scattered around the intersection, and then used the intertwined magic firepower they pulled up to destroy those who continued to The simple phalanx attacking this intersection blocked it time and time again: "This is the domain of the elder. If you have nothing else to do, please come back."
"What is the domain of the elders? Do you think we are fools?" A certain familiar imperial captain on the other side of the intersection immediately announced loudly: "Before you talk nonsense, please make it clear that this is the territory of the empire first. !”
"You want to occupy our territory openly without permission? Do you rats take the great Emperor Frey seriously?" The mood gradually rose with the exciting voice, and the captain raised his own Long Sword: "Attack me! Drive them out from the sacred land of the empire!"
"……call."
Putting back his slightly panting expression, the magician named Linyuan Duanshui leaned his back against the big tree where he was hiding: "Found it."
"did you find it?"
At some point, he came close to him. Alastor, who was also staring ahead, asked with a worried look on his face: "Is my lady in front?"
"I'm not talking about your young lady, I'm talking about those men in black who disappeared at the intersection."
Sighing helplessly, Linyuan Duanshui finally replied in a low voice: "They were probably discovered by the imperial soldiers who rushed to Carlo Village before, so they transferred all the people who could resist the opponent..."
"The Empire's soldiers?" The Soul Hunters who also came to join us asked curiously: "When did they come? Why did they come here?"
"Didn't you meet them in the village?"
Looking back at the other two people present with surprised eyes, the voice of Lin Yuan Shui also spread to the depths of the jungle: "It was the team that arrested people in the village before, and later found my head. , saying that I have connections with wanted criminals in the empire or something..."
"A wanted criminal in the empire?" The confusion on the faces of the two people became more obvious: "Will there be such a heavyweight in a small village like ours?"
"Not only a wanted criminal, but also... forget it."
After scratching his cheek, Linyuan Duanshui finally put away his gaze: "In short, it was a misunderstanding. Anyway, those soldiers didn't find anything in the end. I thought they had given up, but I didn't expect that they actually ran away in the end." here……"
"They've finally come to the right place."
As this voice sounded, the last member of the team, the Exile Zhan Song, also rushed to the previously agreed gathering place: "Those people...should be people from the Magic Empire, right?"
"How do you know?" Linyuan Duanshui turned his attention to this person: "Did you detect any clues or secrets?"
"The battle that broke out in the Sky City a few months ago is still vivid in our minds. Even the players are almost digging out all the details of that battle from the beginning to the end."
Lying behind the same big tree, the voice called the War Song of Exile slowly emerged together with his movements carefully checking the left and right: "The Magic Empire - or the Restorers - although they are still fighting The banner of reviving the ancient magic empire, but the power they used has already deviated from the category of 'magic'. Officers who have been lurking in the empire for more than ten years, premeditated rituals, countless black beast crazes, and that A tall black tower reaching into the sky..."
"No one would believe that those dark powers are also derivatives of magic." He shook his head slightly when he said this: "The healing magic that just appeared with the version earlier can still be used. Players regard it as a kind of magic, but these later things can obviously be used as villain symbols..."
"Yes, that's right, just like the BOSS we just fought." The soul hunter on the side also came over excitedly: "If someone is controlling the crocodile BOSS behind the scenes, then they must be Restorationist!"
"Are we, have we been fighting people of their level?" Taking a deep breath, the melancholy on Alastor's face with a worried expression turned into solemnity: "Why, why are the newbies Will there be such an enemy in the village?"
"The Novice Village will indeed change due to game events and changes in the environment. There is also the possibility of high-level monsters and enemies invading the Novice Village." Looking at the backs of the men in black that everyone was looking at, Lin Yuan Duanshui replied in a low voice: "The problem is...the purpose of their appearance here."
"Captain, do you know their purpose?"
As if he heard something unusual from the other party's words, the exiled war song suddenly turned his head: "What are they hiding here for?"
"...I can't say that yet."
After being silent for a while, Linyuan Duanshui finally gave a negative answer: "Based on the information I have learned, there is only one conclusion I can draw now."
"The reason why they are lurking here must not be the reason why the Imperial people came here."
The loud sound of metal clashing rose at the far end of the woods as the magician's voice fell, and was accompanied by the imperial captain's charging action, swinging his sword forward again, and a new round of intrusion from the imperial side. Then, the sight of several heavily armed imperial soldiers leaping out of the jungle spread out in front of the novice team, shooting out new brilliant flames around the intersection. The mysterious men in black who had been lurking in the shadows of every corner then began to activate their own magic along with the soldiers' charge, using ice breath and flaming arrows across the jungle to hinder their progress, making loud screams. As the battle began again, the sound of encouragement gradually covered the sky over the jungle bit by bit: "Don't back down! They can't defeat our great imperial people... Charge! Charge!" !”
"He is indeed a simple-minded guy, his tactics are ridiculously simple. Marom, ice barrier."
"Wow! They, they separated the team with ice wall! Captain, what should we do?"
"What else can we do! Knock off this barrier for me...be careful! Someone is attacking from the side!"
Inevitable casualties gradually appeared around the jungle as the battle continued. The intersection area around the front was gradually revealed in the edge area that was difficult to reach. It seemed that it had the upper hand in terms of combat power. The Imperial people seemed to become frightened by the sight of being attacked from both sides, and slowly retreated with the captain's loud shout. The large steel shields and sharp swords unique to the empire gradually gathered together in the far distance of the jungle. A great steel wall stood around the gathered team, and tentative waves came from the darkness deep in the jungle. The magic then returned in their shrinking formation. It only aroused a few rays of magic fire and then slowly converged back: "...Poor Imperial people, aren't you very impressive?"
"The rats who only play tricks in the shadows! Come out of the darkness if you can!"
"Come out? Why should we come out? This is our jungle, and you are the uninvited guests who broke into this place."
"The lackeys of the Magic Empire! You can't hide for long! Once the reinforcements from our Rock Bear Army arrive, you will all become the evil spirits under our sword!"
The confrontation that gradually formed finally appeared in the center of the jungle intersection with the slow formation of offensive and defensive formations and continuous yelling on both sides. The path that had been stepped on by passers-by in the past time also became The clear dividing line between the two sides of the confrontation was reached, and with the probing attacks of the people on both sides still not stopping, they gradually extended towards the invisible distance. Withdrawing his gaze again, Linyuan Duanshui leaned back behind the woods and shook his head with a wry smile. His eyes, as if he had seen through something, turned into deep thoughts as time went by. The exchanges between several players around him There was a strange light flashing in his eyes: "Well, that... Captain, they seem to be endlessly fighting. Let's..."
"Don't always ask me, learn to deal with the current situation."
His still frowning eyes moved back and forth on the faces of the three people for a while. Linyuan Duanshui suddenly raised his finger: "Didn't everyone drink the potion? Look over there."
"Over there?" The soul hunter glanced in the direction the magician pointed and asked with a puzzled face: "What's over there? Why don't I see anything?"
"That's because you're squatting in the wrong position." Exiled Zhan Song, who was also looking in that direction, then pulled the opponent's shoulder: "Look here, look over there... Do you see someone there?"
"Who is that person?"
After careful identification for a while, Alastor, who was rubbing his eyes, suddenly shouted in a low voice that almost revealed his position: "Miss Murong?"
"Hush! You want to scare us to death!"
Quickly pressing his head down, the exiled Zhan Song with a look of shock began to vigilantly observe several hot spots that might notice him: "Can you pay more attention? There are so many high-level enemies... If we stoke a hornet's nest, We really have to go home!"
"Let's not discuss how that guy got to that place." Interrupting the nervous twisting of several people with a slight sigh, Linyuan Duanshui said in a low voice: "Such a dangerous situation... Although it is us It’s a dilemma, but it’s also an opportunity for us.”
"……How to say?"
"If I guessed correctly, all the enemies in the Gemenan Jungle dungeon should be gathered here now."
Pointing towards the center of the battlefield where Pian was still facing off, Linyuan Duanshui slowly analyzed: "Although it is difficult to rescue Miss Murong under the noses of these people, but looking at it from another angle... …The path to follow-up direction is now clear.”
"...That's right." While the faces of the other players all froze in reaction, the Exile Song was the first to nod: "If we can take advantage of the chaos to escape, this trial may be completed right away. ”
"But... is it really okay for us to just leave that little girl behind?"
Alastor, who was full of shock, spoke his words before he wanted to shout his objection. The soul hunter who became the center of everyone's attention then scratched his short hair and said, "I, I mean, If something unexpected happens, can we still pass smoothly without one person?"
"It's not like you don't know the fighting power of that little girl. There is almost no difference between one more than her and one less than her."
With a cruel smile on his face, Linyuan Duanshui turned to look at the other three people present: "But this is not the key to the problem."
"The key to the question is, if someone is not present...will our team pass the trial?" He pointed to the direction his team had just touched, a place that was gradually invisible deep in the jungle: "If With a lineup of four people passing this trial, what will be the outcome of the final trial for the abandoned Miss Murong Qingchun...?"
"Leave or stay, this is indeed a question. No decision can be called wrong, but there is only one chance to experiment." He looked around everyone present, and at the same time, he looked at the sound that was still echoing in front of the battlefield. The whistling sound of magic retreated behind his own wave: "So at this point, I will not interfere with your choice, everyone..."
"Decide for yourself."
"……I agree."
"I object!"
"I, I, I, I object too!"
The voice that sounded at almost the same moment instantly appeared in Linyuan Duanshui's ears, and surrounded him with the right hands raised by the three people: "I don't care about trials or not, we just can't leave them behind." companion!"
"But if we miss this opportunity, we may never have a better opportunity."
"What are you talking about, Brother Exile! If the person lying over there was me, would you also say such a thing?"
"Yes. I'll just make it up to you afterwards."
"you--!"
"I, I can understand the choice of the exiled brother, but I have no choice now. I must protect my young lady. This is the meaning of my coming to this game..."
"Okay! It's indeed Alastor who is loyal and courageous! Now we have two votes!"
"Then...Captain, what do you think?"
The argument that sounded like a storm ended instantly, and the eyes of several people returned to the magician: "Captain, do you think we should leave or stay?"
"Me..."
boom!
Before Linyuan Duanshui could tell his answer, a muffled sound of an explosion appeared in the woods in front of the team. One of the several black shadows that retreated with the explosion also sounded an alarm bell. The low cry rang in everyone's ears along with the sight of a certain figure being pulled out of the grass.
"Who are you?"
