Abnormal paradise

"It's a bad start."

Duke Thunder looked regretful. He could not be said to be very angry after losing to Ember, but it was a pity that he had wasted a precious dungeon. Although third-level players who have left the novice stage can still enjoy the benefits of the event, the previous three dungeons per day are no longer available. It was cut down to two times, so everyone cherished it more and more.

Before embarking on the nightmare gold hunt, Duke Thunder tried every means to collect intelligence, but was still defeated by Ember due to lack of preparation.

"How can he be so fast?"

The biggest impression that Ember left on Duke Thunder was his extraordinary movement speed. Generally speaking, only wasteland players can increase the movement speed to such a high level. However, Ember, as an employee of the Foundation, obviously does not have this condition. Moreover, in addition to the amazing speed, Ember's strength level should not be underestimated. Generally speaking, strength and agility cannot be balanced, even for game characters.

"What on earth is going on? Could it be that Ember happened to eat a lot of strengthened fruits?"

While he was meditating, Duke Thunder suddenly discovered that a player in the friends column had finished his dungeon journey, and couldn't help but ask: "Why are you out too?"

"Unlucky, I met Gui Zang. I used my perception to break his invisibility, but I couldn't sustain a burst." The old tree withered vines was extremely helpless, "I didn't get rid of any control skills or counter skills. As a result, I can’t even make up one skill chain, and who did you lose to?”

"ember."

"Hahahaha, you are quite unlucky." The old tree withered vines smiled happily. He knew the past history of Ember and Thunder Guild better than anyone else.

"Our two defeated generals should stop hurting each other here. Hurry up and organize people to go to the wild to spawn monsters and make up for the contribution level." The Duke of Thunder suddenly remembered something and changed the subject, "Hey, have you noticed that there are still some monsters left? How many people?”

"About seventeen or eighty, many died on the way. There are too many unexpected factors in the nightmare difficulty."

Seeing the reply, Duke Thunder smiled slightly: "In this case, the chance of Yu Yan and Guizang encountering each other is actually quite high. We may have a good show."

…

The combat difficulty in the forest area has returned to the normal curve, but most people, including Ember, have not even recovered 80% of their strength, so everyone's route choices tend to avoid combat scenes and use random events to reduce the difficulty of advancement. That's it. Choice is also potentially dangerous.

After finally leading the mantis leader to defeat the tarantula and wasps entrenched at the entrance of the forest, Ember fell into a trap due to random events. If his agility level had not reached a certain level, the abnormal characteristics of the plague doctor's black robe would have been slowed down. If you fall too fast, you might die in a trap set by a tribal hunter.

However, whether there is anyone as unlucky as Yan Yan, Yi Yan doesn't know, but he knows that there is definitely someone more unlucky than him.

"Hey, have a good journey, brother. I will take your legacy and the supply package you left and find the gold rush town." Looking at the gold diggers who had already turned into withered bones in the trap, Yi Yan shook his head and sighed, and turned on the Backpack supplies picked up next to the corpse.

[Tip: You have opened the special supply package for the "Expansion" level backpack, and your second-level weapon "Eight Spider Spears" has been unlocked. 】

"Is this a blessing in disguise? I still have a few summoning cards in my backpack."

Suddenly getting the Eight Spider Spear made Ember really excited, because he had already obtained the matching throwing burst, and after some strengthening and increasing the damage of the wolf fangs, the upper limit of burst piercing damage had reached 800 points. Completely letting Ember's combat power throw off the Mantis leader, it also saved him a lot of trouble when facing monsters.

Sure enough, in the subsequent battle, the Eight Spider Spears showed extremely efficient killing capabilities, causing Ember to encounter a legendary wasp. However, he did not choose to escape, but after using the Eye of Darkness to see through the opponent's attributes, Deciding to adopt a dual-line operation, he frantically commanded the leader of the mantis to move forward and backward to help him defeat this powerful obstacle in a narrow and dangerous way.

This was also the first legendary BOSS he defeated in this nightmare gold rush. In addition to getting more than 20 coins and a huge contribution, he also got an essence supply that finally opened [Enhanced Charge], and a very special item. gold mining props.

…

【Tail needle】

Type: gold mining props

Function: gift

Introduction: The green bamboo snake's mouth, the wasp's tail needle, these are two possible reasons, the most poisonous to women's hearts.

[Tip: Submit it to different game characters, and you will get favorability and different rewards. 】

[Tip: This item cannot be taken out of this copy space. 】

…

"Is this thing specially used to gain favor? The needle on Huang Feng's tail is the most poisonous woman... If I guessed correctly, it should refer to the Wasp Warrior and the Three Insect Shaman, right? Doesn't this mean that there are still people in the forest? Is there a hidden snake?"

Ember raised his eyebrows, put away the props, and then borrowed the Wolf Spider token to enter the Three Insect Tribe at night, and was given ten minutes of free time to move around within the limited area.

The members of the Sanchong Tribe were still very "hospitable". No matter where Hu Jin went, they would pay attention and follow them to welcome him. However, Hu Jin had already figured out their details and was extremely fearful. He turned left and circled until he got rid of all the outposts. After a secret whistle, he took out the listening conch and called out the Hornet Warrior.

"Buzz buzz, buzz buzz, I am a little bee collecting honey. I can do whatever I want in the orchard at home. I fly and scream at the same time. Today's fruit is really good. One fruit is not enough for two!"

After a while, the Wasp Warrior sang an arrogant tune, flew to the embers, raised his hand and threw two fruits over: "Although the Wasp Warrior is a bad guy, the Wasp Warrior will never treat guests badly, buzz buzz!"

Listening to the boasting of the Wasp Warrior, Ember holding two lemons couldn't help but bared his teeth and said: "Let's discuss something, don't bring me lemons next time."

"If your perception is too low, you may be in danger, so the Wasp Warrior picked these two fruits for you, buzz buzz!"

"That's it! No wonder I was given lemons twice before and after. I did blame you for this. Okay, you can give me lemons next time."

Hearing this, Ember was surprised by the Hornet Warrior's thoughtfulness, and he actually did need to improve his perception to make the Eye of Darkness effective. With his current attributes, it was a fluke that he could see the information panel of the One-Star Legend.

Then Ember took out the legend fragment and asked the Wasp Warrior for relevant information, but the Wasp Warrior was a little embarrassed: "The Three Insect Shamans told the Wasp Warrior not to reveal the news about the apple tree to outsiders. The Wasp Warrior can't say, buzz buzz! "

"Hey, everyone is a bad guy, why are you pretending to be in front of me?" The ember monster laughed, and immediately showed the pin on the tail that was still a little warm, "Can you do it now?"

"Yes, yes, yes, buzz!"

As soon as the extremely excited Wasp Warrior took over the gold mining props, he immediately acted like a bad guy and ignored all the instructions of the three insect shamans.

[Tip: The Wasp Warrior's favor with you has been greatly improved, and you can get more benefits when passing by the Three Insect Tribe in the future. 】

"When the Wasp tribe still existed, the shaman received a commission to bury a woman in the valley. Because the other party's offer could not be refused, the shaman did not see the problem, so he chose to agree. But he didn't. Within a few days, an apple tree grew on the place where her body was buried. The shaman also specially checked and found no trace of the body in the tomb. Only then did the shaman realize that the woman was a tree. Changeable."

The wasp warrior told everything he saw and heard: "Later, that apple tree became the wealth of our wasp tribe, because the fruit produced on the tree is very special, and everyone who eats it will become very powerful, which makes us wasps The tribe surpassed the giant scorpion tribe and the wolf spider tribe and became the leader of the three tribes. But then, for some reason, the shaman asked us all to gather together to fight. You will know what happened next. The three insect tribe took over. In the Wasp Tribe, the Three Insect Shaman has become the only shaman."

"Oh, by the way, I have been listening to the three insect shamans talking under the apple tree for the past few days, saying that they need to settle an account with the Wolf Spider Clan Leader. If you still have questions, just ask the Wolf Spider Clan Leader, Buzz. Buzz!"

[Tip: Under the explanation of the Wasp Warrior, your legendary fragments (apples) have been greatly replenished, reaching the conditions for triggering hidden tasks. You can look for the "Tarantula Patriarch" in hell mode to trigger hidden tasks related to "Apples" . 】

"Yeah, this stick drove me to hell again..."

Ember raised his brows, and at the same time he realized that the hidden mission behind the apple would be much more difficult to complete than the listening conch, otherwise the trigger location would not be placed in hell mode. In addition to knowing this key information, Ember's The needle on the root and tail also changed to a fruit with special effects.

"Your Three Insect Tribe actually has something like this?" Yi Yan played with the fruit, thinking that someone from the foundation might have contributed the manor's specialties.

"Yes, after the Wasp Warrior returned home, he discovered that the apple tree was no longer just apples. It seemed that the Three Insect Shamans had developed the secret of transplantation, allowing the apple tree to bear strange fruits. Buzz buzz!”

"So that's it..."

Yi Yan thought of the Fusion Tree Fruit dropped by the Mute Slave, and thoroughly understood the role and value of the apple tree. Considering that the fruit on hand could improve a lot of fault tolerance, Yi Yan also gave up purchasing from the Three Insect Tribe and decided to Save the coins and use them to purchase mining picks.

Then, before his free time was completely exhausted, he hurriedly left the Three Insect Tribe and officially set foot in the competitive scene at the end of the forest under the coveted eyes. At this time, the background time was already to the early morning of the fourth day, and layers upon layers The dense leaves block the skylight, making the nights in the forest darker.

After enduring the sourness and eating the two lemons, the dim light was no longer an obstacle. It once again became the ember of the forerunner, standing quietly in place, waiting for the opponent to come.

"The road to gold mining is only halfway through, and there are only a fraction of the 128 players left. This nightmare mode is really difficult."

Occasionally, the elimination reminder came, which made Yi Yan sincerely sigh. Although he opened three essence supplies in a row, he still failed to obtain the incarnation ability. It seemed a bit unlucky, but there was a large part of the reason why he was able to persist here. It unlocks a lot of practical things. Among other things, the appearance of the Mantis leader directly reduces his stress by half, and the price/performance ratio is far superior to that of expansion-level equipment and skills.

"But then again, why hasn't my opponent come yet? Could it be that I got a bye this round?"

After waiting in a fighting stance for more than two minutes, Yan Yan began to feel muscle discomfort. Although the expectation of a bye in this round seemed good, the five-minute waiting time was actually more torturous than fighting when they met.

At least as far as Ember is concerned, he prefers that his opponent suddenly appears in the next second and fights vigorously, which is far more relaxed and enjoyable than having his spirit in a tense state all the time. But what Yu Yan didn't know was that his third competitor was actually right in front of him, but his perception failed to detect it.

…

After eliminating the dead old trees, Guizang, the vice-president of Jiugua, also successfully passed through the forest area. However, for some reasons, the speed was slower than that of Ember. However, with the help of enhanced invisibility, Ember did not gain the first mover advantage.

"Why did we meet here? Interesting."

Guizang has always paid a lot of attention to Yu Ember because of guild matters, but Yu Ember's three-day divine concealment has prevented him from meeting him. It was only now that he had an informal meeting in a less formal occasion. Too formal a meeting.

"Would you like to say hello?" Guizang thought silently. This veteran player in his prime had made a great contribution to the development of Jiu Gua, which also made him finally give up on playing with Jiu Gua. Hexagram The embers of hostility, the thought of saying hello.

"Let's forget it. We are destined to be opponents anyway, and there is nothing to talk about."

Guizang merged his five fingers into a hand knife, but did not rush to attack the nearby Ember. He could see that Ember's current alert posture would respond to any disturbance in the shortest possible time. This directly caused him to He didn't even dare to move a step, for fear that he would step on dead branches and leaves and make the embers alert.

He has to wait for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to Ember, and as a senior player who has embarked on the path of assassin, he has both the patience and the confidence.

"As long as I can ensure that I control it first, I can use a set of bursts to take away the embers. As for the mantis leader, I can deal with it slowly. Anyway, the initiative is in my hands. I'm not afraid that you won't reveal any flaws."

Having already made a plan of action, he stared at his opponent with burning eyes, watching the alertness in Ember's eyes slowly fade away little by little, until the soreness in his muscles caused by maintaining a tight posture for a long time made Ember couldn't help but do something. Stretch.

It's now!

A light flashed in Guizang's eyes, and he immediately stepped out, swung his sword with lightning speed, and slashed towards Yi Yan's neck...
