"That's not right," Baomu looked at the stone fern at his feet. He had just walked past it a few minutes ago, "That's not right! This place...it should be a desert in front of us!"
But at this moment, what they saw in front of them was still the deep primitive jungle.
"I can guarantee it! I really can guarantee it!..." Baomu pointed at the stone fern and shouted in panic, "When I came out of the desert, this was the first plant I avoided. It was it.
I will not admit my mistake..."
The Son of Light seemed to have picked up on his master's mood and started shouting along with him.
Ah Zhen silently glanced at the stone fern, squatted on the ground and inspected it for a while, then stood up and looked at the jungle in the distance with a stern face, "I believe you."
Baomu's explanation suddenly seemed a bit redundant. He opened his mouth and muttered, "This should be a desert, but..."
"This is the game space. The game will not change according to our needs. It will only act according to the game's choices." A Zhen sighed, "I believe you. You see, from here on, the ground appears.
With your footprints, I know you are not lying, but the game wants me to think you are lying."
Baomu looked at his own footprints for a long time before he remembered to look up at Ah Zhen's desolate appearance and asked, "How did you do this?"
Ah Zhen was stunned for a moment and looked down at his clothes. There were several torn holes in Ah Zhen's clothes and his hair was tangled. When he crawled out of the mire, he was not so miserable.
Seeing Ah Zhen's hesitant expression, Bao Mu continued, "You still can't tell us?"
Ah Zhen did not deny it.
"Then can you tell me why you were so excited when you heard about the desert?" Baomu then asked the next question.
Ah Zhen's brows widened. It seemed that this question was not a taboo.
"You missed an opportunity to clear the level directly." A Zhen's words were concise and to the point.
"Huh?" Baomu probed, "Go through the level directly?"
"You also discovered that in every oasis lake in the desert, there is a catfish representing the catfish player." A Zhen stroked his own hair in disgust, "Although I don't know why that desert is in your
It opens in front of you, but the fact is that the desert should be the core space of this game, and those catfish are the entities of the catfish players in the game system..."
Baomu understood, "So, we just need to kill those catfish..."
Ah Zhen nodded heavily.
"You guys are a little bit behind..."
"We are not a little bit behind," Baomu said frankly. "It is easy to say, but this matter is not that simple at all. You see, Xiaolan has disappeared, and I was almost blown to death by the wind and sand. If I hadn't happened to fall in
In the oasis, I have also quit the game now..."
"I know, I know, don't get excited," Ah Zhen patted Bao Mu on the shoulder, "at least it's much simpler than finding the catfish players one by one and getting rid of them, right?"
This is true.
Baomu calmed down, tried his best to suppress the little anger in his voice, and asked, "Then...then you are leaving again?"
Ah Zhen looked at Bao Mu's look and smiled lightly, "I'm not leaving, let's go together."
Baomu turned his head and looked directly at him, "Didn't your master assign you a task? Have you completed the task?"
"Uh... that's right."
Baomu was no longer so angry, "Then did you get any clues? Where should we go?"
"Look for Desert, look for Xiaolan." Ah Zhen nodded and said.
"Desert?" Baomu's mood dropped again when he mentioned Xiaolan, "Can... really find Xiaolan?"
"How would you know if you don't look for it?" Ah Zhen grabbed Bao Mu's arm, "Let's go, you have to have some confidence in Xiao Lan, I feel that that girl is not simple, she can take care of herself."
"But she got stuck in the quicksand...there was no way she could escape the wind and sand..."
"There is a way. She must have a way. Didn't you find that she is smarter than both of us?..."
"You're right, Xiaolan is amazing, but that's..."
"Hey, let's talk about something else. Let's talk about something else."
"Talk about something else?... Then how do you know that the desert is the core area?"
"For a sect as big as ours, we shouldn't do some work in advance before sending people in..."
"The previous few levels..."
"There were no previous levels. My master only asked about the last level. He didn't even consider that the first few levels would be difficult for me..."
"……All right……"
The two chatted and walked into the depths of the jungle in the dusk.
***
It was a woman's voice.
That voice lingered around her.
Xiaolan raised her head suddenly, looking for the direction from which the voice came, "Who?"
"……here……"
To her right, behind the invisible foliage.
Xiaolan pushed aside the branches randomly with her hands and leaned over.
"……here……"
The sound came from below.
This woman's voice, like the air here and the sound of the wind here, made Xiaolan feel familiar.
There is a rumble in the sky, is it a thunderstorm approaching?
Xiaolan touched the tree trunk beside her, hugged the trunk tightly, and leaned over.
"……here……"
"Is anyone there?"
No one answered.
Xiaolan gritted her teeth, nudged her way to the front of the bush, and stretched out one foot forward.
Step down, step down...
Xiaolan's heart slowly sank with her foot.
Can't step on it to the bottom.
She retracted her feet, squatted down, and touched the ground in front of her.
The solid ground stretched and then broke off.
In front of him is a cliff.
That voice was tempting me to walk into the cliff.
Xiaolan took a few steps back and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Fortunately, he hit a tree just now, otherwise he might have rolled directly off the cliff.
And that voice...
Xiaolan pricked up her ears and listened. The sound was still ringing intermittently, and she did not give up the idea of killing Xiaolan.
"……here……"
"……here……"
Like a devil's whisper.
"I won't listen to you," Xiaolan groaned and sat on the ground, deciding to crawl forward later, "Bad woman."
A rolling thunder approached, and a low rumble spread from one end of the sky to the other.
The scent of green grass under the nose, along with the strong smell of ozone in the air before the rain, penetrated into Xiaolan's nasal cavity.
Xiaolan knelt on the ground and climbed carefully.
The first piece of rain falls and hits the first fallen leaf.
The sound of rain, the sound of wind, the whirling of fallen leaves...
The moment the rain started, Xiaolan's eyes widened and her body froze.
She remembered.
But this is impossible... Even if it is similar to reality, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen...
