King from scratch

At the outermost edge of the continent, there is an intangible but real dividing line, which divides the new civilization and the continent into two different worlds.

One end is the recuperating continent, and the other end is the new civilizations that are becoming stronger in battle and death.

The mainland is not interested in the remote and desolate edge of the world, and the new civilizations interested in the continent cannot break through this dividing line, so the two have maintained a long period of peace until a "lost" Manxing persisted in smashing through up to this dividing line.

The horn of war sounded in the distance.

But going back to the beginning, the reason why the new civilization at the outermost edge of the continent was able to find a gap in the dividing line was not because of the luck of a certain new civilization, but because the players who "reclaimed land" in the gap in the world were too active. Attracted the attention of some new civilizations, which led to the discovery of this gap in the barrier that could not stop the new civilizations.

Of course, this is by no means good news for the new civilizations eager to enter the continent.

Because almost the next second it was discovered that it was possible to enter the continent from this area, the new civilization had a negative distance contact with the player.

The "First Invasion of the Continent" dungeon kicked off, and the player has since gained fame in the outermost part of the continent.

There are too many players, even the Zerg who are good at pushing the whole world with numbers will express such emotion when they meet today's players.

Several new civilizations that came out of the blood, with their covetousness for the fertile land of the mainland, launched five attacks on the players in front of them, all of which ended in failure.

Even the most ferocious creature will admit one thing in these five failures: this line of defense composed of players cannot be defeated by conventional methods.

Pure fighting and endless death cannot defeat this strange race, they must find extraordinary ways to break through the defense line they formed.

This is the fundamental reason why the difficulty of the sixth invasion dungeon skyrocketed.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others didn't know the brain activities of the enemy NPCs, but this group of commanders who stood out through five invasion instances had already proved their abilities with several large-scale battlefield victories.

After the completion of the pre-story suddenly returned to zero, they quickly noticed that the enemy npcs in this attack were different from the previous ones, and adjusted the layout of the frontline players, changing from tentative diffusion to conservative shrinking strategy.

The scale of this large dungeon is huge. Although it is called a "siege battle", in fact, the "city" they need to guard is surprisingly vast. Coupled with the special environment of the world gap, the situation on the battlefield is extremely complicated. .

In addition, the number of players participating in this large-scale dungeon is extremely large, and one commander cannot control the overall situation, so the battlefield is divided into several pieces, and hundreds of commanders start the group simultaneously.

When the battle was at its height, every inch of it was filled with players and invaders.

Of course, that was the scene that would only appear when the enemy launched a full-scale attack after the invasion dungeon had officially started.

The sixth invasion dungeon has just entered the pre-quest stage of mutual testing. Although players have flocked from all over the continent, large-scale conflicts have not yet occurred.

The sudden clearing of the pre-tasks and the large-scale deaths of players who performed the pre-tasks brought the most difficult first-hand news to the commander.

"There is no specific shape for the intruder this time?" Xiaoyue zoomed in on the map projection, marked a point in a certain area, and said, "Let the player team in area d3 move towards area b5, pay attention to vigilance."

"I read the reports compiled by those players."

Roubaozi dragged the projection to restore the approximate location of the players who were performing the tentative mission at that time—there were thousands of players participating in the previous mission, and when these thousands of people were displayed on the map, they formed a barrier along the Expanded face.

This side goes crookedly toward the outermost edge of the real continent, and feeds back the dynamic records encountered along the way. In these records, there are many "old friends" familiar to the players, most of whom were defeated in the previous invasion copy.

Just because everyone has had a life-and-death friendship, old friends know that death is meaningless to players—of course, it may be because they know what players will encounter if they continue to go deeper—in short, when players are close to these old friends When contacted, the opponent did not let the player continue to go deeper.

Roubaozi marked the area with the symbol of "no-name army".

After all, this is the sixth time the dungeon has been invaded, and players know the mode of the dungeon well.

Most of the enemy races that were defeated in the previous invasion dungeons will become miscellaneous soldiers in the new invasion dungeons, standing in front of the real invaders, guiding them, and becoming cannon fodder for the first round of attacks.

In the pre-missions, their appearance proved that the real army is not far away.

This crooked side continued to go deep, and after crossing the long motley army, I saw an empty no-man's land.

Players who performed the pre-mission did not know that they had met the main force at first, thinking that the main force was still further behind, so the players continued to go deeper.

Until this moment, the pre-mission tasks are progressing smoothly.

Until the player encounters a sudden death.

The crooked face was abruptly interrupted, and Roubaozi wiped off the line composed of thousands of players expressionlessly, leaving an obvious blank mark on the projection - the closest players who died at that time were even gathered to the gate.

"Thousands of players died at the same time." Roubaozi finished the deduction of the whole restoration process, took a step back and said, "The nearest player is at the door... The enemy npc who invaded this time is a bit difficult to deal with."

"I'm curious," Piercing Cloud Arrow stared at the projection and said, "Why didn't they just kill all the players in the entire gathering place? Anyway, they can kill players hundreds of meters away, so it's not wrong to wipe out the gathering place What's the problem?"

"Although I really want to say that it may be because they are limited by some kind of restriction and cannot wipe out all the players, but the reason why the other party did not do so is more likely because it is meaningless." Xiaoyue issued a series of player teams After the mobilization command, he turned his head and inserted into the dialogue: "If the player is wiped out, the player will be resurrected in the next second."

"I finally passed the test and became a commander. As a result, I encountered such a difficult dungeon boss as soon as I came up." Another player present broke down and said, "How do I fight this?"

Bai Xiaosheng came in from the door, and was stunned when he saw this: "The tentative attack is over."

The busy conductors cast their gazes one after another.

"The sorcerer came to cast the forbidden spell," Bai Xiaosheng walked to the door, repeating the result: "Nothing happened."

The scene was quiet for a few seconds, and everyone turned their heads to continue their work. After all, each commander present had several regiments of players with him.

Rou Baozi restored the map on the projection: "We still need to confirm the real form of the other party. Maybe the reason why nothing happened is because we didn't see the scene of the other party's death?"

Chuanyunjian asked Bai Xiaosheng: "What about the group of npcs who came to support?"

"The discussion isn't over yet," Bai Xiaosheng sat back in his seat, glanced at the private chat, and replied while replying, "The news about the devil and Ai Zhijin hasn't been compiled yet."

"It's okay for the demons to be in contact with the new civilization for a long time. It's outrageous for Ai Zhijin to open up the trade route under such circumstances, and the opposite side is the intruder who is eyeing the tiger," Roubaozi muttered: " Don’t they all say that those new civilizations are cruel?”

"That's the gold of Ai," Xiaoyue interjected, "No matter how cruel the new civilization is, it can't resist the radiance of gold, right?"

Bai Xiaosheng bowed his head and answered a few secret chats, then stood up and said, "I'm going to pick up some acquaintances, you continue."

"What else is there to continue, the information is zero, and I'm at a loss..." Roubaozi muttered, seeing Bai Xiaosheng walking faster and faster, he asked from a distance: "What acquaintance? You went here specially?" catch?"

In the beginning, it was a road from the end of the South China Sea to the Huanzu dungeon, across the gap in the world. The purpose of its appearance was to divert players so that players could reach the dungeon faster.

Later, on the basis of this road, the player reclaimed the sea and built islands, expanding it into a long and narrow land.

The scale of this project is beyond imagination—after all, it straddles the gap between the worlds—but the players were able to make it out due to the large number of people, creating the most magnificent man-made spectacle in the history of another world: a road connecting the outermost part of the mainland with the South China Sea land.

The reason why it is called "one" is because it expands along that road. From the appearance, it looks like a road that has expanded several times.

However, after several invasions of dungeons, due to frequent use, this road has been expanded several times until it can accommodate the flow of players, so that the mere word "road" can no longer describe it, it has become a Long and narrow land.

He Xingwen was shocked by the unexpected picture.

In the endless shattered void, this road that continues to extend into the distance is like a miracle—a miracle that belongs to intelligent creatures.

Especially when large-scale players drive various vehicles to walk in it, they have conquered the sky, ocean, and continents, and now they have taken steps towards the gap in the world.

Nothing can stop them.

He Xingwen's emotions reached their peak at the end of this road.

At the end of the road, the "city" guarded by the invasion dungeon was suddenly filled with a vast area of ​​land, constantly devouring the place where the original broken void was, and transforming it into an environment suitable for players to fight.

On the vast land, a large number of players and mainland aborigines have created a new order.

Needless to say, the food court is a must-have building for players. Because it is located on the front line, the aborigines have established wartime institutions here to provide supplies and weapons for frequent wars.

This place is like a small city, with frequent invasions and the failure of space teleportation in the gaps in the world, the frontline station has to assume the production function by itself.

I can only rejoice once again that food is not a must for players, otherwise so many players gather in areas far away from the mainland, and the food they need to consume will definitely become an astronomical figure.

In this special geographical location, the time and manpower required to transport various items from the mainland to the front line has increased by almost a thousand times.

However, considering the existence of druids, this problem is actually not difficult to solve.

He Xingwen habitually wandered around with various questions, and followed Ou Huanghuang and the others as they walked through the crowd with ease.

The players on the front line responded indifferently to the great gods, and many players even greeted Wang Lun and the others familiarly.

Probably because the probability of the appearance of the frontline gods is too high, so the players lose the freshness of the gods.

When walking through the crowd and entering the central area of ​​the gathering place, He Xingwen saw many names that he had seen during the closed beta.

After they walked into the central area, Ou Huanghuang and Bai Xiaosheng successfully connected.

"You're so lucky..." Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the team brought by Ou Huanghuang, paused for a second at the only strange nickname, and then said: "I suggest you stay in the undead dungeon all year round, and give the players an artifact master." Wholesale, even being a second-hand dealer is enough for you to make a fortune."

Ou Huanghuang waved his hand, very modestly: "This is too exaggerated, luck is conservative, I just get lucky occasionally."

"Yeah, sometimes luck is better, and in the end you are the only one who draws out the artifact," Wang Lun said in a strange tone, "It's almost like a game planner."

"Lun Lun Lun," as Wang Lun spoke, Bai Xiaosheng also turned his attention to him: "It's a pity that you didn't come to command the copy this time."

Ye Quan coughed: "It's not that he didn't want to come, it's that he took part in the command test and failed..."

Wang Lun glared at Ye Quan, who revealed his old background: "You rebelled too quickly, are you still a brother?"

Ye Quan rubbed his nose and stood beside Bai Xiaosheng: "I'm going to participate in the dungeon next time, and of course I have to hug the commander's thigh."

Seeing the veins popping up on Wang Lun's head, Bai Xiaosheng changed the subject: "Brilliant stars? I read Wang Lun's guide, it's amazing."

He Xingwen equipped with a "smiling" emoji as a response.

Bai Xiaosheng also took advantage of the situation to turn back to the topic. Folk tycoons like Xinghan Canlan had quite a few Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon players, so there was really nothing to discuss.

After all, where the player base is, no matter how low the probability of talent appearing, it will be transformed into an astonishing number in a large base.

"We were still discussing just now." Bai Xiaosheng walked towards the command office with Ou Huanghuang and the others, introducing the situation while walking: "The difficulty of this dungeon has risen sharply, and we suspect that the enemy npc has the ability to directly destroy the entire gathering place .”

Wu Xing paused, and then heard Bai Xiaosheng continue: "None of the players who were killed by the enemy npc before saw the opponent's attack. We don't even know what they are. By the way, the mage tentatively let go I cast a forbidden spell, and there is no response..."

After this series of information was finished, the atmosphere of the Ouhuanghuang team that had just arrived at the front line became serious.

Bai Xiaosheng pushed open the door and led Ou Huanghuang and the others into the busy command office.

"Ai Zhijin's information has come back." Piercing Cloud Arrow, who was talking to someone, saw Bai Xiaosheng, and immediately turned around, gesturing to Bai Xiaosheng for Anuta who was beside him.

Anuta saw that everyone was present, and said directly: "This matter is not a secret in the outermost part of the mainland. In order to open up the road to the mainland, the new civilization that failed to invade the previous few times contacted the Shadow Clan and launched an attack together."

"Shadow Clan?"

Anuta: "This new civilization is very powerful. Even in such a chaotic New World, no intelligent creature will take the initiative to provoke it. Judging from the sporadic information we have obtained, this race is very likely to be related to the 'Shadow' , It is said that they hide in the shadows and can kill the enemy silently."

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned: "But in the special environment of the gap in the world, there is no light source, and there is no shadow."

"This is more like some kind of exaggerated legend," Anuta said: "We have only opened up business routes with a few weak civilizations, and we will not be able to obtain all the information on the New World."

Wu Xing: "Does the devil have any news about the Shadow Clan? They contacted the New World earlier, so they should have more comprehensive information than you, right?"

Anuta didn't give a good face: "For information about the devil, you should ask the devil."

Watching Ai Zhijin turn and leave, Ye Quan muttered: "The popularity of the devil is too bad..."

Wang Lun sighed, "Ever since the devil set up a separate review and review agency, its reputation among other races has almost dropped to a negative number."

Ou Huanghuang said objectively: "I think they asked for it themselves. They insisted on pointing fingers at the normal trading behavior of Egypt's gold. What kind of restrictions on trade volume and trade types were proposed in the Continental Congress, which made Egypt's It’s okay if the good products that Jin originally sells can’t be sold, and other people can’t buy things if they want to buy…”

Hearing this, Wu Xing glanced at He Xingwen who was listening the whole time, and explained: "This should be to prevent monopoly..."

In fact, the Devil's proposal has something to do with the Special Investigation Bureau.

Although it is somewhat unbelievable, among the various aboriginal races, the one most closely associated with the Hua Kingdom is indeed the devil—especially after His Majesty the King disappeared.

Through the close connection with the devil, Hua Guo slowly influenced the new order that had just taken shape, and together with the devil became one of the factors that maintained the vitality of the new order.

Ye Quan: "The reason is the same thing. The devil's doing this is not authentic, and it directly cuts off the money of Ai Zhijin. If it weren't for Ai Zhijin's principle of not starting a war, it is estimated that the devil and Ai Zhijin would have fought a long time ago. .”

After discussing the news of Ai Zhijin with other conductors, Bai Xiaosheng heard the heated discussions here, and interjected, "Even if Ai Zhijin has no principle of not launching a war, there will be no war. The kingdom is still there."

"Ai Zhijin is a neutral force, but demons belong to the kingdom's people in name," Bai Xiaosheng said sharply, "Ai Zhijin can only declare war with the kingdom if he wants to declare war."

"To be honest, I have always felt that the New Order of the Continent with the kingdom at its core balances all races just right, especially with the disappearance of His Majesty the King..."

Before I finished talking here, another strange-looking creature entered the command office, which was a demon.

"Ai Zhijin just left, didn't you meet him on the way?" Rou Baozi greeted him, not concealing his intention to watch the excitement as a big deal: "Didn't there be a fight?"

Thrall turned to one side, triumphantly: "I brought the dwarves with me, there are so many people, Ai Zhijin is embarrassed to do it."

Dorona had a sullen face, obviously the relationship between dwarves and demons is not very good.

Thrall continued: "We already know the news about the Shadow Clan's participation in the war. This dungeon is too difficult. The support team sent by the mainland is already on the way, and the dwarves are the first to arrive."

Bai Xiaosheng focused on the key points: "What kind of race is the Shadow Clan?"

"We don't know either." Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng's expression was not good, Thrall spread his hands and said, "The New World is so big, you can't expect us to know every new civilization, right?"

"Won't you try to contact a race as powerful as the Shadow Clan?" Wu Xing interrupted the conversation: "Or did you not find a way to contact each other?"

"Yo, you're here too," Thrall greeted Wu Xing, and said, "We really haven't found a way to get in touch. In fact, it's not just us. Most of the new civilizations in the New World haven't I have been in contact with this special civilization."

"But not only do they exist, but they are also famous, so there must be traces left?"

Thrall: "All that is left is news of death. News of a certain race trying to seize the other's territory and being completely wiped out is everywhere."

Bai Xiaosheng became interested: "Although they don't have a specific form, do they have a fixed territory?"

Speaking of this, Thrall also became interested. Obviously, this news is the reason why he made a special trip: "And the location of this site is very good, it is located in the most ether-rich area on the New World."

Roubaozi glanced at Sal: "You don't want us to steal the house, do you? It sounds like you are going to die. You were killed by the other party directly at the gate of the base camp. Wouldn't it be faster to go to the other party's lair? "

Piercing Cloud Arrow also said: "Can you tell me what this race is? What kind of appearance, what kind of shape..."

"No one knows what the Shadow Clan is except for the vague shadow," Thrall reminded them. "I hope you can understand what it means. There are so many races in the New World that can't confirm what race they belong to." , which only shows that he does not belong to any form we are familiar with."

Bai Xiaosheng thought for a while, divergent thinking, and came up with an association: "The invisible form is not a form we are familiar with...It sounds a bit like 'unobservable'."

Thrall looked serious: "'Unobservable' is located in the world projection, and it is impossible to affect this world, unless they have already opened that door."

Bai Xiaosheng: "Is that possible?"

"It's absolutely impossible," Thrall said categorically: "Don't mention the fact that the door will leave traces when it is pushed open, just mention that if the other party pushes the door open, it is not 'unobservable', we should be able to Find the trace of the other party."

Wang Lun couldn't help but said: "I don't think it's useless to just discuss it here. Why don't you send the players to try twice more? See if you can find any clues..."

Cloud Piercing Arrow: "Before you came, I sent other players to try several times. As long as you pass the mob army and continue to go deep in that blank area, you can trigger the opponent's attack. From entering the blank area to far away from the gathering place Those who accepted the test task at the gate, not one will fall, and the whole army will be wiped out."

Wang Lun shut his mouth.

Bai Xiaosheng asked Sal: "What do you think?"

"They specially occupied the site, there must be information there," Thrall said: "Send players to check the situation."

"Judging from the temptation just now, we can't get close to their territory," Bai Xiaosheng reminded Thrall: "It's useless to die all the way, the other party is blocking the entrance of the gathering place."

Thrall spread his hands, feeling quite aloof: "Then I have no other ideas, why don't you think about how to surrender gracefully?"

Bai Xiaosheng didn't bother to talk to him, and looked at the dwarf who didn't speak the whole time.

The upright dwarf said plainly: "It's really not possible, we can return to the kingdom."

"This sounds like a sure thing to lose..." Bai Xiaosheng muttered to himself, "Isn't planning so inhumane?"

As an internal beta player, Ye Quan couldn't help but feel emotional: "What do you think? When did planning become so human?"

Wu Xing couldn't help but look at He Xingwen who was silent the whole time.

He Xingwen, who listened to the entire conversation, did not pay attention to the key points of their discussion. He was searching for dungeon guides on his own and choosing his next dungeon.

Seeing that He Xingwen didn't respond, Wu Xing approached him and lowered his voice, "What do you think?"

Although Wu Xing's voice is very low, but in the atmosphere of the scene, no matter how small the voice is, it is difficult to be ignored.

All eyes fell on Wu Xing and He Xingwen.

He Xingwen didn't notice this line of sight - just the picture quality couldn't distinguish such a subtle expression at all.

"What do you think?" He Xingwen flipped through the guide and casually said, "It sounds like this dungeon is quite difficult."

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on them, Wu Xing closed his mouth and stopped asking questions.

It was Bai Xiaosheng who answered the question: "I believe there are ways to clear all dungeons, but we didn't find the right way."

After this sentence fell, the scene was quiet for a moment, and people even had the illusion of hearing the sound of the brains of the players present.

Bai Xiaosheng's tense expression relaxed, and he clapped his hands suddenly.

"Since we can't beat the Shadow Clan, and we can't find anything out, let's find someone who can fight it." After Bai Xiaosheng clapped his hands to attract the attention of everyone present, he said, "The Shadow Clan was invited by a mob army. Why don't we ask them?"

the sixth time

The atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed, and then quickly became lively.
