Quadruple split

[The game will start after a ‘ding’]

【Ding--】

[The main mission has been triggered: Kill the player ‘Mourning’]

…

After the weightless feeling that he was accustomed to faded away, Xinglong, who was interrupted by system prompts several times while talking to himself, opened his eyes and immediately entered working mode.

The chatty one who talked incessantly whenever he was alone disappeared, and was replaced by a young man wearing a black dragon-patterned shirt, with a handsome appearance, a calm gaze, and an extraordinary bearing. This man was completely The first professional player who entered the working state stood with his hands behind his hands. In an instant, he established a certain 'link' with the surrounding environment through 'qi', and began to explore the surroundings with extremely high efficiency.

Although the vast majority of players majoring in the monk profession do not have any effective investigation methods, Xinglong has never been a so-called mainstream player. As long as it is allowed by the rules of the game, he does not know too many things.

Many, complex, and refined!

"There is no blind spot for Awakening Dragon players. Only those who have both strong strength and good luck can try to challenge. I would like to warn the young players in the circle not to try to be clever in front of that man. Any so-called It's all a joke. At least in the years before he leaves his peak period, only by gathering all your strengths and putting yourself in the position of admirer and challenger can you defeat him one day in the future. It’s not like your predecessors were beaten to the point of being autistic. ’

This was a comment made by a famous commentator from Europe and the United States on the platform after Xinglong and his friends swept another championship team after an internationally renowned event two years ago. , frustrated, he @defeated all the younger generation of professional players, and then at the speed of light announced his withdrawal from the front line before being overwhelmed by the wave of criticism, and switched to a stand-alone game anchor.

Although his words were thought by countless people at the time to be encouraging others' ambitions and undermining his own prestige, the facts proved that this old man was not wrong. After all, Xinglong's aura of being "undefeated in foreign wars" also revealed the fact that That is, no matter what the competition is, none of the international friends who bump into his hands will do well.

Undoubtedly powerful and unquestionably dominant, this is the Awakening Dragon in the eyes of the world.

But he himself didn’t think so. After all, in Xinglong’s view, he was just used to doing things to the extreme. He also said before that if the general level of professional players is 300 points, then most of the current game limits are It fluctuates between 200 and 250, so instead of comparing who is stronger, more talented, and more capable, it is better to say that everyone is comparing who has a lower error rate.

Xinglong never considered himself a particularly strong player, but he felt that he was indeed a player who rarely made mistakes.

And this characteristic can indeed be equated with the word "powerful" in previous mainstream games.

However……

[Innocence Bound] This game is not like this. In the eyes of Awakening Dragon, even if the average level of professional players in this game is still 300 points, the upper limit of [Innocence Bound] itself is basically unknown. , a conservative estimate would be 500 to 800, maybe even 1,000 or higher.

As for him, the so-called 'first person', although he still doesn't know where the limit is, it is absolutely impossible to exceed the upper limit of this game, and the same situation is naturally the same for other professional players.

This made Xinglong very excited. After all, now that he has gained countless honors, all he pursues is to challenge himself.

Of course, this excitement is also mixed with a little worry. After all, after standing on the altar for so long, no matter how good your mentality is, you can't help but worry about gains and losses.

At the end of the day, no one likes to fail.

However, Xinglong is not the kind of person who will collapse in the face of failure. He believes that even if he is defeated soon, he will only become stronger after the long-cooled blood is rekindled.

The [Inquisition and Controversy] is a place where there is a high probability that he will suffer setbacks. After all, Xinglong has never been able to break into the top three in the personal strength rankings determined by the system.

Therefore, Xinglong is very concerned about the [Inquisition Simulation Battle]. After all, even if he loses, he doesn't want to lose with any regrets.

On this basis, we must collect enough information now...

【! ? 】

As a result, at this moment, Xinglong, who was observing the wasteland around him, suddenly shook and his eyes suddenly widened.

Just now, there seemed to be some kind of undisguised fluctuation sweeping across from a distance, and disappeared the moment it came into contact with the awakening dragon.

Through the feedback of 'qi', Xinglong believed that it should be something similar to [mental power], and the owner of this [mental power]... is very, very strong!

"I can't tell the age and location here."

Xinglong narrowed his eyes slightly, took off the pair of cold wrist blades from his waist and clasped them in his hands, and murmured in a low voice: "Could it be that the player named 'Sang' has found help? No, although according to the technical department, According to Bian's judgment, this situation may indeed occur when the strength gap between the two sides is too large, but the game has not started yet..."

"What did you say?"

"I said this situation...huh!?"

Xinglong answered subconsciously and turned his head suddenly, and then he saw a person.

a man.

A man who was staring directly at him.

A man whose expression was completely out of control, whose facial muscles were distorted by some inexplicable excitement, had short gray-white hair, wore a magenta robe that was so large that it was not close to the body, and was holding a rolling pin that was shaped like a rolling pin, but with more than ten stars inlaid on it. The short stick with various colored gemstones looks like he is no more than twenty-five years old, and his race is the same as that of Awakening Dragon.

Why is he here? Why can I talk to myself?

This was the first thought that flashed through Xinglong's mind, and this professional player who was very online in both intelligence and intuition also came to a conclusion in the next moment.

Although it is a somewhat absurd conclusion...

[He is my opponent in this game. 】

It was clear that the players would never be discovered by the NPC during the three-minute protection period. Xinglong, who had already memorized the rules by heart, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the man standing a few steps away from him, and asked bluntly: " How did you leave the protected area?"

This question is also based on the understanding of the rules. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, although players can move within a safe zone ranging from a few meters to more than ten meters in radius, and can also use skills freely, in principle they cannot leave this area. of.

However, between the two impossibilities, Xinglong finally made the judgment that the opponent was a player. If I ask the reason, it was intuition.

The intuition of top professional players!

Xinglong's intuition was not wrong. The man who appeared inexplicably in the small safe zone around him was his opponent in this game, the player with the game ID of 'Mourning'.

"Haha, live, live, play...ah? Protected area? You mean the barrier that will disappear automatically in a few minutes, right? I didn't go out, I'm squatting inside at the moment~"

Asang looked at Xinglong with bright eyes, and said at high speed as if he hadn't spoken to him in eight hundred years: "If you want to ask me why I appeared here, the reason is very simple. After I used my skills to find you, I just projected myself here, after all, there are only two of us within a hundred miles, so it’s really hard to find.”

[This guy’s mental state is not normal. Did he just want to talk about toys...]

Xinglong looked cautiously at A Sang, who was dancing and his whole projection was almost lying outside the invisible force in the safe zone. He frowned slightly and continued to inquire: "Did you just say that there are only two of us within a hundred miles?"

"That's right. Anyway, I didn't even pick out a single hair except for you."

Ah Sang hugged his arms and nodded vigorously, with happiness written all over his face. He explained enthusiastically: "But this is actually not surprising. After all, this place was a gray plain around 4500 years ago. At that time, there were no gray dwarves." They were driven down from the north by their clan. It’s normal for there to be no grass. The lizards and harpies living nearby are not interested in this place. It’s even more normal to not see any living people all year round.”

Xinglong was stunned again and reacted for a while before asking: "Wait a minute, did you know that this is the gray plains around 4500 years ago? It is where the gray dwarves in the northern blood barbarians gather now."

"Yeah, I know, I lived here for a while."

Ah Sang nodded vigorously and gestured with excitement: "If you are interested, I can even tell you how those low-quality people united and reached a united front."

The corners of Xinglong's mouth twitched and he considered, "It seems that the pressure from the Holy Religion Alliance is too great."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite understanding."

Ah Sang nodded slightly and was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Xinglong raising his hand.

"that……"

Xinglong, who had been counting the time silently in his mind, coughed lightly and said seriously: "It's almost time. Should we find a place to meet up later and compete directly?"

"Time? Ah, what time are you talking about in the safe zone?"

Ah Zang blinked, and then clapped his hands vigorously: "That seems to be the case, okay, just wait for me here, I will come over to see you right away!"

After saying that, he simply disappeared from the spot.

Xinglong, on the other hand, frowned in confusion. He didn't take any action until the safe zone around him disappeared silently. He just stayed in place with a slight frown on his face.

In the process, he noticed a detail, that is, the 'safe zone' around him disappeared in the fourth minute after the start of the game. In other words, his opponent should be matching for the first time [Inquisition Simulation Battle] .

At this moment, Xinglong's heart was full of questions, and the one that concerned him the most was the gray plain that was said to be around 4500 years ago in the Holy Calendar. However, what made him think so much was not the other party's accurate report. Regarding the current time and place, if what the person named 'Sang' said is true, then it is very thought-provoking that the system would provide such a battle map that is both empty, desolate and uninhabited.

"It stands to reason that this kind of map would only appear when both sides are at the same level..."

Xinglong gently rubbed his chin and murmured in a low voice: "But if I remember correctly, there should be no one named 'Mang' on the list in the past three months, and there is no such thing as hiding the name." Realistically, after all, the system has announced his real ID just now. Even if he really chooses to hide his name, what I hear here should be the prompt that 'the other player chooses to hide his game nickname', not a fake name. , Could it be that... hmm?"

He couldn't think about it anymore, because in the next moment, a man who looked exactly the same as the projection just now, but was even better in terms of texture suddenly appeared in front of him. He jumped up with excitement on his face and his expression was extremely distorted. The ground screamed: "A living person!!!"

【Fuck! ? 】

Xinglong was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and directly fired out a [Collapse Fist], which hit the opponent firmly. It wasn't actually ugly, but because the expression was so weird, it made him dream back to the first time he saw it. The face in a horror movie, but back then Xiao Li Lei only wet a pair of pants after the ghost face appeared, but now Awakening Dragon punches down subconsciously.

In terms of combat power alone, if the person in front of him was really the Piao who scared the children to piss, he would definitely end up in a state of disarray after being hit by this punch, with not even a handful of ashes left.

But the problem is that Ah Sang is not Ah Piao, so even though Awakening Dragon's attack can instantly kill an ordinary high-level enemy, it can't do anything to him.

Following a burst of sparkling space fluctuations, Ah Sang's figure disappeared in front of Xinglong in an instant. He was seen floating in the air about seven or eight meters above the ground, looking down at the mark with a stunned expression. The [Collapse Fist] that was integrated with An Jin directly blasted a big hole in the ground from the air, and he was shocked: "What are you doing? Why are you hitting people when they are so good!?"

"I was shocked by you."

The frightened Xinglong took a deep breath, slowly retracted his fist, raised his head and said to A Sang in a deep voice: "But now it's a battle. Our position is to defeat our opponent, right?"

Ah Sang suddenly slapped his forehead and said suddenly: "Oh, yes! This is a mock battle for questioning. Haha, I'm sorry. I haven't communicated with anyone for a long time. That's alright. Let's compete quickly. Bar!"

After saying that, he raised his right hand and pressed down, sending a dozen eight-foot-tall demon guards with blazing eyes, ferocious looks, and fat heads and big ears into the air next to Xinglong.

Xinglong: "......."

Demon guards: "..."

[Warlock? 】

A few seconds later, Xinglong, who was the first to react, guessed something like this in his mind, and used two skills at the same time with his passive talent [Left and Right Fighting], namely [Cloud Piercer Palm] on his left hand and [Tiger Palm] on his right hand. Huang Fist], and after instantly killing two demon guards with absolutely high-level strength, he leaped up and used the mechanism of the skill [Double Jump] to use a move [Reverse·Meteor Fall] from bottom to top. The person was covered in a ball of golden-red energy and crashed into Ah Sang...

The totem pole that appeared at my feet from unknown time.
