Starting from Zero

Volume 20 Chapter 100 Mortal Nightmare

------------

There is a special area in Zero called the Nightmare Zone. 1 This place is located at the French-German junction, half in France and half in Germany. Originally, this area should be regarded as part of the national barrier between France and Germany, that is, a special area specially used to block the connection between the two countries. However, this area has a feature, that is, you can easily enter this area no matter where you are, but as long as you go in, don't think about it.

If it is a general pure combat game, everyone only likes fighting, and probably no one pays attention to this area. After all, this place is scary. However, due to the wide user base of "Zero", according to the theory that every bird in the forest grows bigger, there are naturally more people. As a result, a group of extremely boring and advanced players lost interest in leveling, and then they started playing adventure.

After all, the world in Zero is not as bland as the real world. It is full of mysterious and unknown spaces, with all kinds of treasures and monsters. This is simply a place tailored for explorers. As a result, these adventure-loving players went everywhere to discover and explore. Finally, they thought of this neglected area. As a national barrier, its range is too large and easy to enter, so it has formed a dark effect under the lights, which has been ignored by this group of explorers. But in the end they remembered the area and really walked in.

Like I said before. The nightmare zone has no external barriers and you can easily walk in. Its edge is a virgin forest hidden in thick fog that is scattered all year round. At its edges, you can also see the canopy, but deep down. Then nothing will be seen. Whether you look at it from the ground or the sky, it is just a fog of white fog.

If only the forest covered by dense fog is good enough, there is no shortage of such places in the game. However, as this group of explorers entered and eventually all died back, various conditions in this area were brought back.

According to the description of the explorers. The area in the thick fog is almost the same environment as the forbidden magic area. Their team has a high-level fire magic that can be used to burn a small village by a mage with more than 1,200 mages. The lighter has a slightly larger flame. Not a single leaf was lit. Tianhe, a super-range spell used by another water mage who was a few levels lower than him, landed and ended up with only a glass of water. Its power was much smaller than before.

In fact, in addition to the spell skills, even the fighters' skills here are all out of order. In addition to some physical abilities, such as bloodthirsty, reluctantly reluctantly, it can also start, most of the things related to energy are in There will be an extreme weakening here. It's not useless, but it's powerless.

If it is just seal skills or something. Players are not very scared to arrive, after all, the game mainly relies on ordinary attacks to fight. Unlike ordinary games, the skills shown in "Zero" are characterized by super high consumption and super power, which means that the skills and effects are very good, but the consumption is also very large, and the average person cannot continue to use skills Skills can only be used as killing tricks. Interspersed during normal attacks. In order to get the most benefits.

Because of these characteristics of skills, players in "Zero" are not too dependent on skills. Unlike other games, they ca n’t fight without skills. However, in other areas, this theory is true, but after entering this fog, this phenomenon will return to the same as other games, without skills, you can not fight at all. As for the reason ... it's because of the monster here.

According to the expedition that returned from death, they encountered only one monster in this foggy area. At first they thought they had encountered many kinds of monsters, but in the end they checked the battle briefings and found out. The different forms of creatures fighting them are all one thing, because the system gives them the name "Mist Soul". According to the inference of the expedition, the body of this creature should be fog, or something else that has no substance. They encountered this kind of monster attack many times in the fog, each time their form is different, and they thought they killed a lot of monsters at the time, but only later did they know. I didn't kill a monster myself, because the wounds will recover immediately after being cut, and only more than one-third of their body structure is destroyed at one time, or the head is cut off, or serious injuries such as slashing . Otherwise ordinary cutting injuries will not affect them at all. And, even if more than a third of the damage is done. Or chopped their heads down, and the result is just that they suddenly burst into a pile of mist and disappear into the dense fog around them, but you can't get any experience points, because the other party is not dead.

A monster that cannot be killed by ordinary attacks, and is located in the area close to the forbidden area, which is definitely a nightmare for everyone. Although the expedition had advanced in the forest for a long time, in the end, a monster did not kill, until it was tired and could no longer fight back, then it was surrounded by monsters. During this period, they also thought about using the reel, but this area unfortunately restricted the flow of magic, so the reel was basically scrapped. In addition, the magnetic field here is also chaotic. At present, the navigation methods found in the game will be invalid here, and communication skills such as telekinesis will be greatly weakened as distance increases. In short, this place is a huge maze, no matter how well you prepare Anyway, as long as you go in, unless you hang up, you don't want to come out again.

However, despite the harsh environment and monsters in this place, this place is currently one of the most desirable areas for players. As for the reason ... or because of the expedition. Although they hung back, they did not find nothing.

Crisis is always proportional to opportunity in the game. Although this area is extremely difficult, many players feel that it is an area that cannot be conquered, but the richness of its internal resources is amazing. In fact, this expedition is not a monster that has not been killed in the fog. A mage in their team was finally rushed and used to explode. The mage's self-detonation consumes the magic power in the body, not in the environment, so the strength of the magic power in the space has a limited effect on the self-detonation.

The mage eventually blew himself up, and accidentally killed several monsters. Not the kind of fake death that destroys monster entities and turns them back into fog. But really died. This is also the only time this team of explorers have actually killed the monster after entering the fog. Of course, the cost is a little bit big, because the mage blew himself up is not the first level, but the tenth level, so even if the mage dies, he will not bleed. However, when the mage returned to the resurrection, he was surprised to find out. I actually only dropped nine and a half. He then checked his detailed experience and found an amazing result. The monsters he killed gave him half-level experience. Killing a few monsters can get half-level experience. In this case, players have never experienced it after passing the tenth level. How high is this experience worth to be so powerful?

In fact, if it ’s just high experience, it ’s okay. After all, it is difficult to kill these monsters, so everyone will only think that this is a purely disgusting setting. However, the expedition did bring back the benefits that it could feel, that is-magic crystal.

Is it normal? All over the world. As long as there are players in the starting place, there are magic crystal mines, and large guilds like our Frost Rose League will mine magic crystals in tons. So it sounds like the magic spar is not very expensive.

In fact, the kind of white devil spar is really not expensive. According to the actual resources, the value of white devil spar is about the same as that of oil, and at most it is slightly higher. Although it is said that oil is soft gold, it is relative to oil companies. You exist as an individual, even if you are given a bucket for you to dress casually. How much can you take away? Exhausting you is just a well-off life. So white magic spar is really good. But to mine in this kind of place, even if the white magic spar is piled on the surface for you to pick up, the input and output will be disproportionate. After all, he died once to pick up a few white demon spar.

However, although picking up white magic spar suffers, what if it is a colorful magic spar or crystal nuclei?

Colorful magic spar is a high-quality magic spar that can automatically return to magic and can be recharged indefinitely. Of course, its greatest value is not in automatic magic, but in its ultra-high mass-to-energy output ratio. Compared to white magic spar. With the same volume, colorful magic crystals can output tens of thousands of times more energy than white magic crystals in the same time. According to the reality, the output power is tens of thousands of times that of white magic spar. If the white magic spar uses the same speed to output magic energy, let alone how long its magic power can support, even if its energy is unlimited, the white magic spar itself will explode due to overload. You know, sometimes our guilds use magic crystals directly as bombs. From this you can imagine how unstable this thing is. However, the colorful magic spar is less troublesome. This gadget can not only output energy with tens of thousands of times the output power of white magic spar, but also it is very stable and will not explode. It can be said that colorful magic spar is the necessary core of top-level creatures. Without this gadget, it is equivalent to changing a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier into a coal-fired power system. Even if everything else is the same. The combat effectiveness will also be greatly reduced.

Compared with the colorful magic spar, this crystal core is even more exaggerated. This thing is also called mother of crystal. Is the source of the growth of magic crystal. Although the crystal mother cannot be used directly as power, it can absorb the magic in space and precipitate magic crystals in the nearby area and make it grow larger. Although most of the grown out are white devil's spar, sometimes red devil's spar will grow, and even the colorful devil's spar is not impossible. Anyway, our guild basically understands the crystal mother as a solar panel. As long as it is placed there, it can generate energy by itself, and it will never dry up.

As the advanced crystalline minerals that all powerful guilds dream of, these two things can be said to be priceless treasures, no matter which of these two types of ore appears in any place in the world, that Will immediately attract a bunch of guilds. However, in this nightmare zone, these invaluable crystals are huge in storage. Although it cannot be said that it is everywhere, it is quite common. If you need a concept of image points, you can understand them as common as mushrooms in ordinary forests, and you can see a small slice almost not far. Of course, these two crystals don't appear like a large piece of mushroom as soon as they appear. It's like two pieces of each place.

Regarding the existence of these two crystals, the expedition team recorded the images with memory crystals, so the authenticity is no problem. However, their entire team brought back a piece at the end, and the price paid for this was the destruction of the whole team, because all such crystals in the mist must be surrounded by a dangerous area of ​​mist souls . That expedition ended up running out of food because there was no food left. It was decided to try hard and rush once, but as a result, they got it, but the team was destroyed.

What Ling just said to me is very obvious. She just wants me to go to this nightmare zone. Is it the reason ... Of course not for those crystal mines. Although this thing is valuable, Ling is my favorite and she is not a guild leader. She doesn't care about such things. Ling really cares about my personal interests. What she wants me to do most is to use her current physical condition to hurry and kill some strange levelers there.

With my current level, most of the monsters in the leveling areas in each area are not enough for me to kill. It's not that their number is too low. After all, Zero has its own balance system. The faster you kill it, the faster it makes up, so it's impossible to kill all. The key is that the experience value of these monsters is too low. All I want to kill are ss, and ss cannot appear in piles and piles like mobs. So I have no way to upgrade by killing ss. Just because there are so few places for me to upgrade. So Ling has been troubled by this issue. After all, my strength is directly linked to the strength of these magic pets. Although with Ling's loyalty, my level will no longer suppress the magic pet level, but my increase in the combat power of the magic pet is still subject to the level Affected. Therefore, whether it is for my strength or their own strength, Ling hopes that I can raise the level as soon as possible, and the higher the better. Rarely has such a state, just right for leveling in the nightmare zone.

Most people don't need skills in the nightmare zone, but their power is too low. And I just happened to be in a short circuit state. The headache was that the power was too great, and being suppressed by the nightmare zone, it just balanced my magic attributes. In this way, in the nightmare zone, I am equivalent to returning to normal state without any impact, and the monsters there are actually not strong at all. The only difficulty is that they are not afraid of physical attacks, and ordinary people ca n’t use magic there. . This has caused the invincible combat effect of the monsters there.

Now that I understood Ling's idea, I thought about it seriously, but I still hesitated. "Well, although this thing you said is pretty good, but what about our conversation with Poseidon?"

Ling looked at me with a smile and asked, "Is there a problem postponing the day?"

I thought about it and shook my head: "There should be no problem. Although this matter needs to be done as soon as possible. But Poseidon is not bound anymore for a day or two, and it is nothing late."

"That's all right. It's also dangerous to see Poseidon in this state. If you accidentally use magic, even if it's passive, that's bad. So it's not just a matter of experience, You are now staying in the nightmare zone and there is meaning in protecting your own safety. Besides, you can also pick up gems by the way, and believe that if they know this, they will definitely raise their hands in favor of going to the nightmare zone. "

I did n’t even need to verify Ling ’s words to know that she was definitely right. In terms of Rose's fortune-maker's personality, I heard that I can now go to the nightmare area to pick up gems like no one else, and she would definitely kick me in without hesitation.

"All right." I finally compromised.

"A wise decision." Ling smiled and said, "In fact, this is for your good. This situation is not going to subside automatically. You must let the magic flow slowly through your body, and then wait for the magic flow time to reach twenty. After four hours, you can return to normal. However, because of your current short-circuit state, you cannot use magic in general environment. You must use magic in the artificially set low magic space to ensure that the riot will not be caused. Magic power evaporates your world. Instead of spending so much effort to create a low-magic space yourself, you can use existing ones. You can also upgrade and pick up money by the way.

"Xing Xing Xing, didn't I say I should go." After speaking with Ling, I turned to Kameda Road again. "You have also heard our conversation. I am in a dangerous situation now, so I have to go to the nightmare area first. Hidden for a day, I will come back and talk to Poseidon as soon as it is restored. So help me apologize to Poseidon. "

When Kameda listened to my words, she quickly and kindly conveyed my words and let me go at ease. Although it was a good intention to do bad things, after all, my situation was caused by their twelve mages. Therefore, Kameda naturally will not make me trouble for time.

After simply explaining the current situation to them, I took Ling and a bunch of magic pets to leave the room for the assimilation ceremony and went to the teleportation array. The reason to bring a bunch of magic pets is mainly because I can't use magic now, it is a bit dangerous to walk alone, so it is safer to take a ticket with my men. Although this is a bit arrogant, you have to admit that most people with normal brains see such a large number of high-level creatures come forward, and the first reaction is definitely to obediently go aside. Especially when there is a dragon at the front of the team.

Fortunately, the map on the side of the Temple of the Sea has just been opened. Except for the Prometheus guild, no one knows that it has been opened for the time being, so we have not encountered other players along the way. After returning to the ground, I took the lucky ones back to the ground from the newly opened main passageway, and then directly changed into flying birds and flew back all the way. Of course, in order to ensure that the magic does not start, I don't dare to fly directly on the bird. Instead, I've made Everett put together a set of armor like power armor and wrapped me up. This is also no way out. The armor on my body has a lot of self-starting defensive magic, some of which are self-powered, and some use my magic, and once hit, they will activate themselves, and I have no control at all. Therefore, in order to avoid tomorrow's players from discussing the news such as "Zi Ri being dropped by a small fireball" tomorrow. I had to add a shell to myself.

Obviously it's safer to have Everett behind. And in the case that I do n’t take the initiative, the speed and height of the birds are by no means ordinary people can interfere.

Thanks to the super speed of Asuka, I was in that legendary nightmare zone after more than an hour.

It's like I said before. The nightmare zone is currently one of the more popular topics in the game, so the surrounding area is also surrounded by many players. Some of them are gamblers who want to try their luck to find a colorful magic spar or crystal mother, while others are purely onlookers of the party. Anyway, they come to pay attention to this legendary land. When people brag, they can also say arrogantly, "The land of nightmares? I have been to that place ..." After all, I will follow you.

Because of the above reasons, when I got here. In this direction I cut into, a group of players stood on the edge of the nightmare zone and looked inside. As for the reason ... because a bunch of idiots just came in from here. And those onlookers who have never been busy watching the bustle are there looking forward to seeing if they can hear the screams of a bad guy before he dies. Of course, if you can see a guy being attacked by a monster in a place where the fog is not too dense and you can barely see the silhouette. Anyway, the monsters here will not cross the border, so they are not afraid.

However, while these guys were looking forward to hearing the screams of people in front of them, they suddenly heard a sound that was not right. This sound is often heard in reality. It is the sound of an airplane flying overhead. But the problem is that there are no planes in the game! There are many flying creatures. But is it clearly the sound of a jet engine.

The crowd attracted by the sound quickly shifted their attention from the fog to the top of their heads, and then everyone was stunned. Because they saw a burning, robot-like thing whizzing from obliquely above at a very fast speed, and this thing was a mile-long cracking combination as it passed overhead, A full-body armored humanoid object was released from the humanoid robot's body. And the humanoid robot was assembled into another robot, and then two humanoid objects were inserted into the mist and disappeared.

Until the two humanoid objects disappeared for a full minute. Only one of them suddenly shouted, "I rely on, these two will not be Transformers, right? Are we playing a magic game or a science fiction game?"

Just as the outside group was busy creating the new version of tomorrow ’s trail message, “Transformers Are Coming”, Everett and I had crashed into the mist one after another, and then we ran into a very tumultuous crash. After smashing it completely, it smashed it into the soil, followed by a rebound and flew over a small bush, then I seemed to see a group of people's stunned expressions flashing by. Then I directly planted an onion into the soil, and the whole person stopped holding a big tree on his back. Then, at an interval of one second, Everett flew past me, and was stopped by the next big tree and stopped completely.

Under normal circumstances, our landing should not have been such a tragedy. The reason for this is completely unexpected. Who would have thought that the bird was as afraid of the birds in the air as the jet plane. As a result, one of the jet combustion chambers inhaled a small flying World of Warcraft when he landed. Then the body of Warcraft blocked the exhaust port, causing the combustion chamber to burst, and finally blew off one side of the wings.

Because there is Xiaochun, this kind of damage is not much to Asuka, but the problem is that it is at a high speed at this time, so when Asuka has lost the ability to fly, I and I Everett seem to be sad. The bombs thrown by the plane usually crashed directly into the woods. Fortunately, it was close to the goal. At this time, the speed of the bird has dropped a lot. If it has kept the speed of sound several times, it is estimated that we must throw us into a pie.

Supporting the dirt on both sides of the top of my head with both hands, I pulled my head out of the ground as soon as possible, and then turned over from the trunk to stand on the ground, while Everett climbed up with me at the same time, but After saying hello to me, he returned to the training space. This ghost place is basically forbidden. Everett here is tantamount to an ordinary doll. So it's useless to stay.

After removing all the miscellaneous bodies and the clods on my body, I looked around for a moment and found that there were still a group of people standing not far away, and at this time they were staring at me with silly eyes.

Of course, it was embarrassing to find such a whistle-blower incident, but I'm not the kind of person with a very thin skin, so after coughing twice, I pretended to be serious and walked towards the center of the nightmare zone.

The group of people were dumbfounded by me. I didn't respond until I coughed. But before they did anything, I turned and walked towards the denser mist area.

Seeing that I actually ignored them and left directly, the group first glanced at each other and exchanged their eyes before they suddenly caught up.

"Hello. Hold on!"

I wanted to leave, but I didn't expect to hear their shouts, which made me have to stop. I turned my head to look at the direction of the people. I can only see what they want to do first.

In fact, those people didn't think what they were going to do after catching up, so after they ran to me, they stopped there collectively and didn't walk or speak, and I was depressed again. In the end, it was such a big-eyed confrontation after nearly thirty seconds. A female player from the opposite side finally responded and stood up and said, "Hello, we are an adventure team coming here for adventure. Would you like to team up with us? After all, you should also know the environment here, and everyone ’s action will compare. Isn't it safe? "

The other person is obviously eloquent, but unfortunately I have no interest in it. Shaking his head, I refused directly: "Sorry. I have my own business." After that, I turned and left, but. As soon as I turned around, I saw a **** mouth biting into my face. I was taken aback by this sudden thing, because I hadn't felt anything approaching before. With my ability to perceive airflow, sound, and some weak mental fluctuations, in general, it is actually very difficult to get close to me silently. Unless I was attracting attention at the time and didn't pay attention to the surroundings, I wouldn't be quietly approached by anything. However, this thing that flew towards me actually escaped my perception, and still in the situation where I didn't relax any vigilance at all.

"Be careful." Alas.

The moment I turned around to see the monster, the reminder sounded behind me, but my movement was faster. Almost immediately when the reminder was issued, I already had my sword up and down, and the monster was directly bombing in the air A burst of white smoke turned into a cloud of white smoke, but as soon as the smoke appeared, it seemed to burn like natural gas. The purple flame almost flashed, and the smoke was completely burned out in less than a second, while a black gas separated from the smoke and flew into my body. Obviously, the thing in front of you has been killed because the dragon soul suit absorbs soul power, which can only be absorbed by the death of the enemy, so the emergence of soul power must represent the death of the target.

The group of people who just reminded me were the bosses who stared at each other. They thought I was going to be unlucky. Some of them are still unhappy and secretly happy, "I told you to refuse to form a team, isn't that bad?" Of course, their pride disappeared with the disappearance of that monster, replaced by endless fear. In the case of being suddenly attacked, the monster was killed only in the blink of an eye, and it was a single hit. This shows that both my attack power, reaction speed, and combat intuition are much higher than them, otherwise it will never be as fast as this.

"Thank you." Nodded back to the group. Then I threw a piece of crystal back to the woman I was talking to, and she just reminded me. Although it didn't help, at least people have this intention, which must be thanked.

The woman caught the crystal I had thrown. It was quite surprised, because it was not a valuable crystal, it was just a more ordinary white crystal, which was a relatively common resource in the game. Although there is also demand, it is the same as cement and bricks in reality. Despite the value of purchase, no one will give away bricks or cement? Is there such a cheap thing as a gift?

Seeing the other party didn't understand ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ I explained: "This is a signal transmitter. If you want to leave here any time, or if you have trouble that can't be solved, just break it up, as long as I can collect it When the signal arrives, I will come over to save you. But first, I will only stay here for 24 hours. If I leave, I will not return. There is a signal transmission distance of this thing outside is three Hundred kilometers. But it is said that it will interfere with the signal. I have not tested it, so I do n’t know how far there is no signal. This depends on your luck. In short, I will definitely get the signal within 24 hours. "

After the explanation, I did n’t wait for the other party to respond. I directly called Ye Ying to stand up and climbed up. Ye Ying waited for me to climb up and slowly trot away from the scene, until I and Ye Ying's figure After disappearing in the layers of fog, the group of talents here suddenly reacted.

"I rely, that guy is so arrogant, who is he?" A young player asked uneasily.

A slightly older player next to him slaps on the back of the guy and slaps: "Don't talk nonsense. That guy is Ziri!"

"Zi Ri?" The battered youth was also startled. "You're talking about the Purple Sun of the Frost Rose League?"
