Chapter 470 The Tragedy of the Wanderer
Chapter 470 The Tragedy of the Wanderer
Chen Feng turned around and glanced at him.
"We'll talk about it when it's light."
Liu Lei's face fell.
"Dawn??? There are still seven or eight hours!!! What if those monsters find this place..."
Chen Feng interrupted him.
"Then go out and lure them away."
Liu Lei fell silent.
Zhou Min looked up and asked softly, "Captain, how many points did we score today?"
Chen Feng remained silent for a few seconds.
"Seventeen points."
Zhou Min was stunned.
"Seventeen points?? We've been playing all afternoon..."
Chen Feng gave a wry smile.
"We killed three level 50 sand lizards, and each of us got a little over two points. The rest of the time was spent running for our lives."
Zhang Peng couldn't help but swear.
"Damn it, what kind of mess is this?! We were at least the elites who survived the first round, and now we can't even beat the monsters in the second round!!"
Zhao Yan opened his eyes and said weakly.
"Stop complaining. You're lucky to have survived. You saw how many people died in the mouths of monsters today."
Zhang Peng fell silent.
Sun Li asked softly, "Captain, what do we do tomorrow?"
Chen Feng remained silent for a long time.
Then he said.
"Tomorrow... let's change locations. Let's find an area with fewer monsters."
Liu Lei gave a wry smile.
"A region with few monsters? Where on this lousy map are there few monsters? We've been wandering around all afternoon, and everywhere we go there are monsters level 50 and above. There are very few lone ones; they always appear in groups."
Zhou Min suddenly asked, "How do you guys tell me how the big guilds farm monsters?"
Everyone fell silent.
Yeah, how do people from those big guilds farm monsters?
The six of them fought a level 50 sand lizard for nearly twenty minutes, and almost lost a member. Meanwhile, members of large guilds could farm dozens of them in a single night.
Where does the difference lie?
Liu Lei murmured, "I heard that the War Alliance killed more than fifty monsters today."
Zhang Peng's eyes widened.
"More than fifty? How did they manage that?"
Liu Lei shook his head.
"I don't know. Maybe it's because there are a lot of people. They have over a hundred people in the Eastern Territory, and they coordinate well."
Zhou Min whispered, "I also heard that the Blood Romance group is in the Eastern Territory. There are over thirty sisters who work together incredibly well, and they killed more than forty of them in one night."
Sun Li sighed.
"I really envy them. They have guilds, organizations, and cooperation. We solo players can only pick up scraps."
Chen Feng remained silent.
He simply gripped the shield in his hand tighter.
There was a deep crack in the shield, which was made by a sand lizard's tail this afternoon.
If it gets hit again, this shield might shatter.
He glanced at his score.
Seventeen points.
Ranking?
He dared not look.
......
At the same time, elsewhere in the eastern border.
A seven-man squad is making a difficult retreat.
Their formation had fallen apart, and everyone was in a sorry state.
Behind them, three level 55 Gale Harpies were in pursuit, their sharp screech piercing the night sky.
"Run! Run!" Captain Li Yang shouted hoarsely.
He was originally an elite member of a medium-sized guild. He performed well in the first round of the preliminary rounds and advanced smoothly.
I thought I could continue to shine after making it to the second round, but I was taught a lesson on the very first day.
They encountered a group of harpies this afternoon.
I originally thought there were only four or five, so I could try to take them down.
As soon as the battle began, seven or eight more birds flew down from the cliff next to them.
Twelve level 55 elite monsters.
The pace of total annihilation.
They escaped with their lives, but lost four men. Of the remaining seven, two were seriously injured, five were slightly injured, their mana was depleted, and their potions were exhausted.
"Captain! I can't run anymore!" a female mage cried out.
Li Yang glanced back.
The three harpies were getting closer and closer.
He gritted his teeth.
"Go into the cracks in the rocks! It's too narrow there, they can't fly in!"
The seven people scrambled and crawled into a narrow crevice in the rock.
Three harpies circled outside, their sharp claws trying to reach in several times, but they couldn't get in.
Li Yang leaned against the rock wall, panting heavily.
He glanced at the points.
Twenty-three points.
Ranking?
He didn't want to watch.
Outside, the harpy's screech gradually faded into the distance.
But no one dared to go out.
Who knows if they're really gone?
Who knows how many other monsters are out there?
They can only wait.
Wait till dawn.
Wait until... I don't know when.
......
In the eastern border, somewhere in the wilderness.
A lone wolf is running wildly.
His name is Wang Lei, and he is an assassin.
In the first round of the preliminary rounds, he managed to survive by stealth and hiding his true nature until the end.
He made it to the second round, thinking he could continue to survive.
But he was wrong.
The monsters on this map are way too high level.
The level 50 monster has an absurdly keen sense of smell.
He will be discovered if he sneaks within thirty meters.
If you're discovered, you'll be hunted down.
He ran fast, but the monster ran even faster.
He's been running all afternoon.
He only had two bottles of basic potions left, and his dagger was already dulled.
He didn't know where he was running.
All I knew was that something was chasing me.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know how many there are.
All it knows is how to run.
Run as fast as you can.
He didn't dare to look back.
Because every time you turn around, the speed slows down a little.
But being a little slower means death.
He recalled the players who were slaughtered by Lin Tian in the first round of the preliminaries.
He even mocked them at the time, thinking they were too weak.
Now he understands.
It's not that they are weak.
Lin Tian is too strong.
He wasn't even qualified to face level 50 monsters.
......
In the eastern border, in a secluded mountain cave.
A dozen or so casual players huddled together.
They came from different places and had different professions, but at this moment they had the same expression—exhaustion, fear, and confusion.
It was very quiet inside the cave.
No one speaks.
Only the occasional howls of wild monsters reminded them how dangerous the outside world was.
A young monk asked in a low voice.
"What do you think those big guilds are doing right now?"
No one answered.
But everyone was thinking about the same question.
What are the people from those big guilds doing now?
Are they grinding monsters?
Is it developing?
Is it... living an easy life?
they do not know.
But they knew that they and those people were not in the same world.
In the distance, a streak of light suddenly flashed across the night sky.
It was extremely fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Someone exclaimed, "What is that?"
No one answered.
But that streak of light left a mark on everyone's heart.
What is that?
Is he a top player from a major guild?
Or is it... that legendary person?
they do not know.
But they hope that one day they can be like that.
Fly freely.
Fearless.
Instead of huddling in a cave, shivering like this.
Length of night.
