The course of life is like the sea;

Mencome and go; tides rise and fall

And that is all of history.

(The process of life is like the sea. People come and go, ups and downs, that's the whole story.

It was already the morning of the next day when Tang Yu got out of the tent, the too dazzling sunlight made him barely open his eyes, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

He didn't close his eyes for a whole day and night, and was immersing himself in a lot of calculations against time. At this moment, he only felt top-heavy. Just when he felt himself shaking and instinctively reached out to hold the curtain on one side to stand firm, a figure was blurred In the shadow of the light, he strode towards him and held him tightly in his arms.

Almost like a signal, this firm hug broke all the silence. Everyone who saw this scene put down what they were doing and ran over, Tang Yu could also hear countless noises in his ears.

"How is it done?"

Tang Yu heard someone asking eagerly, but he didn't want to answer. He just frowned tightly, and an indescribable irritability arose spontaneously.

But in the next second, he felt someone gently stroking the back of his head. Chang He approached his ear and said softly, "I will be with you."

Stay with me until I can't stay with you anymore.

So, fear not...

Tang Yu didn't speak, but the tears flowed more fiercely.He suddenly raised his hand and tightly strangled Chang He's neck, and hugged him back with all his strength.

Chang He patted Tang Yu on the back, but did not speak. Ji Shenlan watched silently from the side, as if thinking of something, his eyes dimmed for a moment.

He tilted his head and looked away, but he didn't know that his expression was also a little dazed and indescribably sad in the eyes of others.

He just thought of Zong Hai, and that they didn't even have a chance to say "I'm leaving".

Ji Shenlan didn't want to disturb them, but the others didn't have the patience. After waiting for no answer, Huo Feng opened the curtain, squeezed in from the side of the two and looked in. The next second, She trembled slightly with excitement.

"It became..."

The fist-sized stone was suspended in mid-air, and countless fine and dazzling light spots shone on it, shining like a star.

Huo Feng's pupils dilated, and he stared straight at the stone. After a while, he recovered his voice, turned around and shouted desperately outside the tent: "—It's done!!"

The sound like thunder on the ground also interrupted Tang Yu's emotions. He quickly lowered his head and wiped tears on the clothes on Chang He's shoulders. Looking over Chang He to the distance, he was surprised to find that their camp had expanded within a day. To the extent that it occupies the entire central square, all you can see are players walking around doing preparations. Although the faces are all unfamiliar, they all have the same firmness and fortitude in their expressions.

"It's almost ready, we can set off on time." Louis came from a distance, Si Yan and Mu Mu were still lingering behind him persistently, so he had to spend some time holding them down, before he reached Ji Shen In front of Lan and Tang Yu, she smiled at them.

The situation was much better than they expected. Through Louis' explanation, Tang Yu learned that most of the people who came were the backbone of more than a dozen organizations.They didn't even expect that there were many ordinary players who wanted to fight to the death, but they were persuaded to go back because they might not be able to keep up with their speed.

They have put in too much effort this time, and if they fail, in order to prevent the players from falling into chaos, there are still some good players who have been deliberately retained, including Louis, Si Yan and others.Ji Shenlan told Louis Shenhai and all the information he knew. Once they did not come back, Louis and the people left by other organizations would assume the responsibility of continuing to operate the order, and finally became the pillars leading the players to resist the game again. .

Regarding this, Tang Yu felt a little cruel.

When parting is always the one who stays the most uncomfortable, although

It was Louis who once said that he would not wait for someone forever like Ji Shenlan, but if warnings could really overcome the surging emotions in his heart, he would not need to warn himself repeatedly like that.

"Farewell." After a short silence, Huo Feng and the others got up to make the final preparations. Louis stared intently at Ji Shenlan. After a while, he opened his arms with a smile, asked for a hug, and only said: " Don't worry, I will take care of a few little kids."

The sun quickly rose to its highest point, Tang Yu returned to the tent to put away the old seal, and together with Chang He, they separated from the crowd and walked to the front of the line.

Huo Feng needed to help Tang Yu when he couldn't run, so he stood tightly beside him. Chi Yan also held a strange-looking gold hairpin, with the tip lowered, and he pursed his lips to concentrate on it.

In the next second, Chang He turned into a giant wolf, and his silver fur spread out shining in the sun. Chi Yan also moved in response to the sound, and with a sudden movement of his hand, a hole was torn open in the space, revealing the deep and treacherous, Dangerous space to come.

"gone."

Chang He had already run out without hesitation, Huo Feng pulled Tang Yu, and quickly followed.

After excluding the death copy, it is not difficult to guess that the core of the game is in the gap, but it just takes advantage of the blind spot of thinking brought about by habit.

Almost all players will witness with their own eyes when they are newcomers, someone desperately wants to leave the dungeon and break into the black mist at the edge of the dungeon, and none of the newcomers who entered the gap can come back alive.

If things go on like this, players will naturally associate gaps with danger in their hearts.And the more senior you are, the more you learn to abide by the rules. It is hard to imagine that the true will to play is hidden in this vast and dangerous world, which seems to be always blowing black dust storms.

But even if you really think about it, it's not so easy to do something about it.

The time and space in the gap are disordered, even if you just take a few steps, you may lose your way, not to mention that there are countless monsters lurking in the dark... If Chang He swallowed the silver spoon, it would be like a large magnet. Sensing the presence of Yog-Sothoth, they had nothing to do.

Thinking of this, Tang Yu's determination to completely solve this matter became extremely firm. At this moment, the mist around him suddenly stirred, and a giant python with a high mountain poked its head out of thin air, and opened its mouth to this side Bite over.

"coming!"

Before Tang Yu was ready to make a move, Huo Feng pushed him to the side and drew out his red flame saber to meet him. Chang He also stopped abruptly, facing the giant pythons emerging from the thick fog one by one in front of him. Stand upright.

"Leave it to me here." Chi Yan quickly threw out a brass spider, and the moment it hit the ground, its size also expanded rapidly. Countless spider threads spewed out from its belly, killing all the giant pythons in the way sticky.

"You guys go first." Chi Yan looked around, then smiled slightly in a good mood, and waved to Tang Yu and the others.And following his movements, two more players who got off the boat with them stood up, and the crowd in the rear quickly separated to stop the giant python so that Tang Yu and the others could continue to move forward.

Huo Feng reached out and grabbed Tang Yu's arm firmly. Chang He also turned his eyes and took a deep look. Seeing Chi Yan's resolute expression, he jumped forward without any hesitation, killed the giant snake in front of him and threw it to the ground. One side, and then led the rest of the people galloping away.

If dungeons are equivalent to folders and players are data, gaps are equivalent to databases that store all monsters.Their entry into the enemy base camp is like a handful of bait thrown into a pond, and they must be as close to the core of the game as possible before attracting more monsters to surround them.

So when they were attacked for the second time, Ji Shenlan stopped silently.

The people in Shenhai were all at the back of the line. When Tang Yu realized something and suddenly turned his head, he saw Ji Shenlan's peaceful smile and Ah Jin, Duo, Wei Liu and others stopping together.

Tang Yu's eyes became hot at the moment, and the water vapor instantly blurred his vision, but he still stubbornly twisted his neck and stared at that side until he could no longer see any familiar faces before turning around. He felt that this road was too desperate and too far It's been a long time.
