Abnormal paradise

"Competition incident?"

Ember's heart moved slightly, and he immediately prepared for battle. However, his advancement speed was obviously faster than his opponent, so he had sufficient first-mover advantage to survey the terrain.

A tall wall that stretches as far as the eye can see separates the [Ruins] from the [Forbidden Zone]. The languid moon is hiding behind the wall, making the [Entrance of the Forbidden Zone] where Yi Yan is located, completely shrouded in a darker shadow. With the extra vision provided by the Dark Veil Affinity, Yi Yan could barely see a pile of extinguished bonfires on the ground, and there were holes in the wall farther away that penetrated the inside and outside. It was obvious that this was the restricted area opened by the pioneers.

Yi Yan searched around, but couldn't get anything, so he turned his attention to his belated opponent. He rolled his eyes and suddenly took out the strange object [Mimic's Disguise Treasure Box] and put it on his head, turning into A dull copper-covered wooden box, then squatted at the base of an inconspicuous wall, waiting for the opponent to arrive.

"Not many people know that I have a disguised treasure box. Even if someone happens to come in and know, they probably won't guess that the box is disguised by me."

Relying on the camouflage effect of the rare item treasure chest, Yu Ember can basically be sure that the "new arrival" opponent will not be able to defeat the potential threat. He can calmly squat in the box and wait for the prey who does not know the truth to come to his door.

After a while, there was an unusual noise in the night where only the chirping of insects could be heard. Yi Yan raised his eyebrows - here we come!

I saw a player appear out of thin air ten meters away, and then, like the embers before, he immediately put on a fighting stance and scanned the surroundings. When he realized that no one had arrived in advance, he muttered with relief: "It's okay, it seems I can The speed is not too slow."

Then, the player began to survey the terrain, and soon discovered the copper treasure chest placed at the base of the wall. His eyes suddenly shone brightly in the darkness, and he almost jumped up with joy.

"Hey, the early bird catches the worm!"

This self-proclaimed early bird player was completely unaware that a notorious apostate was waiting for him to surrender. At this moment, all he could think about was opening the treasure chest quickly and putting it in his hands. He took the treasure as his own, but what he didn't expect was that before he could reach out his right hand and touch the copper ring of the box, the seemingly beautiful treasure box suddenly opened its big mouth and bit it up. His vision plunged directly into darkness.

[Tip: You were attacked by "Ember", the Foundation's junior agent and Dark Veil Apostle. Since your power level cannot trigger a random determination, you must sustain four consecutive injuries from the "devour" ability. 】

ember! ?

The player who was caught off guard saw Ember's name in a panic and immediately remembered that the other party was the long-lost number one player. He had been very curious about how powerful Ember was, and had imagined how powerful Ember was. He faced off against him during the camp conflict and became famous in one battle. Unfortunately, he failed to encounter Ember in the wasteland, but unexpectedly encountered him in the gold rush town, and then... nothing more.

Because the "devour" skill of the disguised treasure chest caused a total of 348 points of direct damage to it, and this wasteland player who has not completed the advanced mission has a total blood volume of only just over 300, and it is difficult to bear the madness of the treasure chest. He gnawed away, and in the end he couldn't even see the true face of the ember, so he passed away and died.

[Tip: You have eliminated "Lordaeron has no summer", an official member of the Wasteland Group, and you have gained access to the "Forbidden Zone". If you want to leave this area, please use the "Ruins Map" to light a bonfire. At the same time, you can Choose to inherit one-third of its "coins" or a "gold-mining prop" (if there are less than three coins or no gold-mining props, the inheritance will fail). 】

[Tip: "Mimic's Disguise Chest" is on a one-hour skill cooldown. 】

[Tip: The player "Lordaeron has no summer" unfortunately lost and withdrew from the competition for "Gold Rush Town". 】

"Not bad, you can still inherit the inheritance?"

Ember smiled slightly, and then chose the gold mining props without hesitation. Although the probability of inheriting coins was obviously higher, for now, he was far more interested in props than the latter.

[Tip: You have obtained the gold mining prop "Certificate of the Dead"! 】

"Hey, is there really one? People should not be judged by their appearance, thank you brother!"

Ember was a little surprised. He didn't expect the player to give him a surprise, but then he discovered that the effect of [Proof of the Dead] was a bit strange.

…

【Certificate of the Dead】

Type: gold mining props

Function: Cover up the breath of the living

Introduction: Only with this can you be qualified to meet the dead.

…

"I don't know what the use is, so just keep it for now."

Ember shook his head inexplicably, and immediately followed the prompts to light the bonfire with the windproof lighter that came with the game. The next moment, the rising flames showed him an image——

Nina, who was looking a little calmer, was sitting by the bonfire, staring at the dancing light of the fire with dull eyes, but her thoughts were wandering to nowhere. Around her, there were several figures of all kinds, standing or standing, guarding or resting. These people all wanted to go to the gold rush town, but their attitude towards Nina was mostly fearful and ulterior motives.

Regarding the fear of these people, Ember expressed his understanding. Although the Nina in front of him failed to become the Shadow of Fire in the end, she still had extraordinary mental abilities. It would be no problem to deal with a few Embers. It is estimated that even if these people join forces, , and it is difficult to damage a single hair on it.

Suddenly, a tipsy drunkard said to everyone: "Do you know how the restricted area came to be?"

"I heard that the wild shaman in the forest broke a taboo and summoned something terrible. In order to fight against that thing, I had to use nuclear weapons. Then I was worried that the remaining monsters in the forest would escape, so I built this wall. The high wall completely enclosed the entire forest, sand sea and even the gold rush town. Unfortunately, the city could not avoid its decline after all, and part of the forest destroyed by the nuclear bomb also became a radiation restricted area." One of them recounted his memories and got caught Nina's attention and sparked a discussion.

"How come the version I heard was that the sand sea suddenly turned into a real ocean? Countless fishmen stepped onto the coast and rushed out of the forest, and then inexplicably activated the forbidden spell, which turned the outer edge of the forest into a forbidden and deadly place! We didn't use nuclear weapons at all, but relied on this temporary high wall to kill all those fishmen."

"Everything you heard is wrong! The monster clearly ran away from Gold Rush Town!"

"Are you kidding me? If monsters can escape from Gold Rush Town, they will definitely be destroyed countless times by monsters. Then why do you want to go to Gold Rush Town?"

"I...I'm too lazy to tell you!"

"snort!"

"Forget it, why are you arguing? It's just a rumor, it's no big deal." The tipsy drunkard who mentioned this topic glanced at Nina without revealing any trace, then put away the bottle and sat down against the wall, " Those who should sleep, go to bed quickly, those who should stand guard, pay attention, we still have a long way to go tomorrow!"

As the words fell and the image ended, Yi Yan suddenly discovered that the game world had gone through a long night, and he actually saw the ruined map that had turned to ashes, appearing intact in the suddenly extinguished bonfire.

Ember pushed aside the white ash and picked up the map. He immediately saw that the content on the map had become a restricted area route. In addition, there were a few words crookedly written on the front of the map. He frowned slightly and read softly: "Treading Entering the restricted area, you will gradually uncover the bizarre real world. I hope you can stay sane and go crazy..."

"Stay sane and go crazy? See what this means, it seems that it requires a lot of willpower?"

Yi Yan thought for a while, looked at his life level of seventeen points, and decided to add all the remaining core points to Will (12) to take precautions before they happen, so as not to be too late to operate in emergencies, and then followed the previously accumulated points. To challenge the experience, I clicked on the pattern symbol representing "monster" and officially entered the restricted area.

[Tip: Exploring the diary "Nine o'clock on the second day", you triggered a combat event. 】

[Introduction: You have a strong body and are immune to radiation in the restricted area, but you failed to avoid the deformed beasts wandering in the restricted area. A second-level lord-level BOSS "two-headed dire wolf" sniffed the strong blood and finally found you! 】

Ouch! !

The two wolf howls sounded quite aloof, but they did not scare Ember at all, because in his opinion, a second-level lord was actually easier to deal with than three leaders. At least Ember did not have to be distracted and could focus on A target makes it easier for him to use his combat abilities.

The result was just as he imagined. It looked like the two-headed dire wolf with a scary name would soon be beaten to death. However, just when Ember was about to kill it, he suddenly received a reminder.

[Tip: After being seriously injured, the "two-headed dire wolf" will try to return to its den to recuperate. Do you choose to follow its blood trail and break into the wolf's den? 】

[Warning: If you choose "Confirm", the next battle scene will be replaced, and you will face a more difficult challenge, but at the same time you may get rich rewards. 】

"You still need to ask? Of course it's confirmation!"

Although the current scene was connected to a combat event and an unknown event, Ember considered that the potential benefits of the two were probably not as good as clearing the wolf lair, so he immediately made his choice.

[Tip: Exploring the diary at "12 o'clock on the second day", you triggered the combat event - "Fighting in the Wolf's Lair". 】

[Introduction: The Wolf Lair is located in a valley filled with poisonous gas, but your seventeen-point "life level" is immune to radiation damage, and the abnormal token "The Mercy of the Crow-Faced Plague Doctor" filters out the fear toxins in the air. This So that you who follow the blood trail and step into the wolf's den can rely on your full glory to change from the prey in the eyes of the dire wolf to the hunter who attacks the dire wolf...]

"Tsk tsk, this battle incident even has a name. It seems that my choice was right."

Ember nodded slightly, looking at the dark entrance to the wolf lair, and suddenly decided to summon a mantis leader as a helper. It was not that he felt that he could not fight the wolves by himself, but he planned to use the mantis leader to improve his vision. Furthermore, the mantis leader has a survival time of as much as three hours. Summoning him now can be regarded as a little respect for this special event.

Moisture and putrid odors hit his face continuously when Ember was about to step into the wolf's den. Even though his crow's beak mask had the function of filtering poisonous gas, it could not save his poor nose and fragile sense of smell.

However, this trouble did not last long, and disappeared instantly with the appearance of the monster. He devoted his attention to the embers of the battle, immediately forgetting external factors, and constantly relied on the insect head heavy shield and two weapons, one near and one far, to fight with Together with the leader of the mantis, they frantically killed the two-headed dire wolves of all sizes, and stormed into the depths of the wolf's den, where they met the legendary BOSS at the bottom of the pass - the three-headed dire wolf.

…

Name: [Three-Headed Dire Wolf] (One-star Legend/Level 2)

HP: 4500/4500

Attack Rating: Powerful (90)

Defense level: Strong (65)

Attack speed: Fast

Warning range: far away

Skills: strength enhancement, agility enhancement, radiation poison, slam (passive), crazy bite, group bloodthirsty (group damage increased by 50%)

Attributes: Strength 14+3, Agility 6+3, Perception 6

Introduction: The strong radiation that permeated the restricted area triggered a genetic mutation in the dire wolf group. However, unlike most of the losers whose genes collapsed, the dire wolf group was lucky enough to break the shackles of life, and the best among them were born. To strengthen the ethnic group's ability to increase.

[Warning: The "Slam" passive of the three-headed dire wolf will cause double damage to targets with lower power levels than it. 】

[Tip: Although the combat capabilities of the dire wolves have been greatly enhanced, their fur has become extremely fragile due to the ravages of radiation. 】

…

"You want to trigger the slam passive at a power level of seventeen? It's not good enough at all!"

With the power of [Pyromaniac], Ember was able to abolish the key abilities of the three dire wolves without using the three free important attribute points at hand. This allowed him to further appreciate the benefits of becoming a reality warper.

Of course, this does not mean that Ember will underestimate the dire wolf group led by the three dire wolves. With the blessing of [Group Bloodthirst], there are close to double-digit dire wolf BOSS. If they swarm up unreasonably, ordinary players will definitely If you want to be bitten to pieces, even if you switch to Ember holding a heavy insect-headed shield, he won't be able to stop it for long.

So, in front of a group of grinning dire wolves, Ember decisively decided to put his newly acquired abilities into actual combat.

[Tip: You have activated the incarnation-type distortion ability "Pyromania", which lasts for fifteen seconds. During this period, the fire damage, explosion damage and holy damage you receive will be reduced by 60%, while ignoring all major damage. Partial physical damage and mental damage. 】

Although pyromania is born out of active software, it is completely different from the manifestation of the devil's incarnation.

The moment he officially became an arsonist, the translucent active software gradually hardened and solidified, making the embers look like a grinning living corpse, and even frightened the group of dire wolves with their claws and teeth. .

"Am I scary now?"

Ember asked in a hoarse voice to the dire wolf group who obviously couldn't understand human speech, and what he answered was a piece of explosive software that crashed to the ground!

[Tip: You activated "Explosion Aesthetics", causing 248 points of direct damage to the Lord-level BOSS "Two-Headed Dire Wolf"! 】

[Tip: You activated "Explosion Aesthetics", causing 238 points of direct damage to the legendary BOSS "Three-Headed Dire Wolf"! 】

【hint:……】

This green explosive software "blurted out" when Ember asked, and suddenly exploded among the wolves, immediately causing an uproar and stimulating the bloodthirsty nature of the dire wolves. However, they soon discovered that the target in front of them was extremely difficult. The seemingly fragile soft corpse actually possesses extremely powerful defense effects and self-healing capabilities. Even the most aggressive three-headed dire wolves are unable to cause damage to Ember.

But on Ember's side, there is no need to use those fancy combat skills. Just relying on the tyrannical mechanism of the distortion ability, he can use the way of fighting with others to continuously spit out explosive software, causing area damage to five targets around him. The fifteen seconds of incarnation time quietly ended, and the only person left alive in the wolf lair, except for Ember himself, was the leader of the mantis hiding in the corner.

The first time he used the distortion incarnation, he achieved such great results that Ember couldn't help but let out a very cheerful voice: "Who else?"

Actual combat has proven that missing the first stage of the battle between light and darkness has not slowed down the progress of Ember. Even if the strength of others has doubled, he is still confident of defeating the heroes. The final result of this fierce battle also indicates that this gold mining adventure will be Get a happy ending.

[Tip: You have successfully passed the battle event "Wolf's Lair Fight", and you have received the strengthening blessing of "Totem Wolf", which will increase the final damage by 20% during the remaining time of this "Gold Rush Town"! 】
