If the accident that the Central Plains was also "robbed" was excluded, the process of going from the second floor to the third floor was easier than entering the second floor from the first floor.

Because there is Luofeng Mountain connecting the second and third floors, everyone can have a good time to buffer and adjust the pressure. Even Dazai Osamu, whose physical ability is much lower than others, did not feel it when climbing Luofeng Mountain. to any discomfort.

Sawada Tsunayoshi explained as he walked: "Up to the fourth floor, each floor has a passage that can go directly to the upper floor just like Luofeng Mountain. When the fourth floor starts, the more you go up, the more difficult it is, even by flying. to a higher level."

While talking, everyone has come to the entrance to the third floor, the King of Ghosts is still talking about trying to keep Chuya Nakahara, but Chuya Nakahara doesn't even want to look at him, and is the first to walk away holding the hand of Dazai Osamu past.

The line of sight changes again.The mountain under my feet disappeared again, and what I saw was a dense virgin forest.

Every tree and every plant here is much larger than the trees and plants seen in the real world in the Central Plains. The dense branches and leaves cover the sky, and the fine spots of light fall from the thin gaps between the leaves, barely illuminating the sky. Lighting up this space also makes this forest more mysterious.

Seeing that everyone has come here, Nakahara Chuya looked around, and simply manipulated the gravity to fly directly upwards.

Through the dense canopy, the world finally unfolded before his eyes.

A stretch of green sea with no end in sight.About ten kilometers away from them in the southwest, there is a huge waterfall.The waterfall far exceeds any waterfall that Zhongyuanzhong has ever seen. It seems to be a stream of water slanting down from the sky. Even if it is more than ten kilometers apart, Zhongyuanzhong can still clearly hear the sound of water falling.

To the northeast of the waterfall, huge vines spread towards the sky——the World Tree.

Zhongyuan Zhong also wanted to continue to observe, but there was a commotion not far away, and a group of huge birds suddenly flew out of the green sea not far away.The bird was completely black and looked like a crow, but strangely, its feet looked like a horse.

It spread its wings, and the diameter of the lush wings reached several meters, just like the pterosaurs in the Jurassic era.

And the group of strange birds that flew up, after circling in the sky for a while, they all flew in their direction.

They look huge and cumbersome, but their flying speed is not satisfied at all. With a flap of wings, their bodies rush away like an arrow in the blink of an eye. Central Plains doesn't want to conflict with the creatures here now, so they quickly fall from the sky.

Fortunately, this group of strange birds did not land with him, but continued to fly in the direction behind him.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little helpless: "Didn't I say that, after entering the upper floor, try not to let yourself have a height difference, otherwise you will be easily affected by pressure."

Zhong Yuanzhong also scratched his head: "I forgot for a while." He felt his physical condition, but there was no difference: "But I feel that my physical condition is good."

Sawada Tsunayoshi thought for a moment, then understood.Although Zhongya Zhongya entered the upper level for the first time, his level of evolution was already far beyond that of ordinary people. With his physical fitness, the height difference of the third level alone would not affect him in any way.

But after all they are being watched by the main god, try not to show it too much, so Sawada Tsunayoshi hinted: "Fortunately, this is the third floor, we can still carry it with our physical fitness, wait until the fifth floor Don't be so impulsive when you are in trouble, maybe something will happen."

Zhong Yuanzhong also naturally understood the other meanings in his words, and nodded clearly.

Seeing Mami and Sakura Kyoko's curious faces, Nakahara Nakaya told them what he had seen and heard just now, and then looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi: "What is that?"

"That's Kiri, a very common creature in [Warcraft Forest], with high attack power, but it will not actively attack humans." Sawada Tsunayoshi said: "They are the oldest creatures in [Warcraft Forest] One of them is suspected to have evolved from horses, but they have not acquired human intelligence from evolution. Just treat them as ordinary animals."

Sawada Tsunayoshi took out his mobile phone to check the time, and said: "It's getting dark soon, and [Warcraft Forest] at night is still dangerous. Let's hurry up and go to the village to rest for a night."

Everyone nodded and followed Sawada Tsunayoshi towards the southwest.

Zhongyuan Zhongye asked curiously while walking: "Is there a village here?"

"Of course." Tsunayoshi Sawada said: "There are many monsters on the third floor who have mind, and many monsters are transformed from humans." He sighed: "We will choose to enter the [Abyss Labyrinth] like this." Players, basically we are no longer ordinary people in terms of physical fitness, or we are almost the same as those 'monsters' and 'monsters'. If we were replaced by ordinary investigators in this world, it would be difficult to maintain even on the second floor Living on the ground, reaching the third floor, there are very few people who can maintain the ground and not become a monster."

"These human beings who have become monsters have lost their human body and gained powerful power. But they cannot completely control this power. Ordinary humans will fall into a state of madness as soon as they see them, so they can only choose to stay in the first place." The third floor, live forever and ever. The lives of monsters far exceed that of human beings, and more and more investigators go to the upper realm to explore, and more and more people become monsters, so that in the end there gradually appeared a In a small village, if there are investigators who can maintain the human form on the third floor, they will help those investigators and exchange them for some supplies from the human world."

"It's really sad to hear that." Zhong Yuanzhong also sighed for a while: "Investigators are also fighting for human beings, right? Are they abandoned by the human world in the end?"

"No way, if it's not a player, this is the final fate of the investigators in this world." Probably after staying in this world for a long time, getting along with the investigators day and night, Sawada Tsunayoshi also developed a deep relationship with them, His tone unconsciously revealed distress and pity: "They are not bad. There have been tens of thousands of investigators since ancient times, and very few of them survived. And they live on the second or third floor. Becoming a ghost or a monster, at least there are human thoughts and memories. Once you enter the fourth floor, even if you survive, it is very difficult to retain your sanity. After all..."

There are only a few people who can satisfy evolution, and the vast majority of people can only become victims on the road of evolution in the end.

After these words, everyone fell into a long silence, and the relaxed mood that was originally generated on the second floor also sank.

After all, this copy, this world is not a pure world at all, and cruelty is its main tone.

Before it got dark, after a group of people walked for an hour, the distribution of surrounding trees gradually became sparse, and there were more and more open spaces.Soon, a building appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The architectural style is very similar to the architectural style of Southeast Asian villages. Most of the houses are divided into two floors, and the building materials are full of natural atmosphere, but the houses here are much larger than normal human-lived houses.

The village was surrounded by a wooden fence, and in the center of the fence was a gate that was two people high and four people wide.The gate is half-closed at the moment, and there is a wooden board on the gate, with three crooked characters engraved on it: Xilin Village.

Sawada Tsunayoshi did not rush in, but reached out and knocked on the door three times.

Soon, the door of a certain house inside the wall was opened, and a strange creature with a bull's head and octopus legs came out of the dream, and looked at the gate of the village for a while.Seeing that it was Tsunakichi Sawada waving at him, he quickly came down, opened the door for everyone with his tentacles, and warmly welcomed: "It's Tsunakichi, long time no see~" Then he turned his head and shouted into the village: "Yes! Gangji, it's okay, everyone come out!"

As soon as the voice fell, several doors were opened, and all kinds of strange creatures came out of the house, some were huge, some were as small as a rabbit, no matter which ones were not normal creatures in seriousness, they were simply It's like straying into a laboratory that is doing a lot of biological splicing experiments.

"Long time no see, I'll bring my friend to you for a night's rest." Tsunayoshi Sawada greeted the bull-headed octopus-legged creature with a smile, and then turned to Nakahara Chuya and others to introduce: "This is Mr. Leo , a former AAA-level investigator, and the village head of Xilin Village." Then he pointed to Chuya Nakahara and the others to Leo and said, "This is Chuya Nakahara, Osamu Dazai, Mami Asami and Kyoko Sakura, they are all SS-level investigator."

The eyes of the creature called Leo showed deep surprise and an expression of envy: "Have you reached the SS-level investigator at such a young age? What a formidable young man!" type of envy.

"Why are you all hiding?" Sakura Kyoko blinked and asked curiously, "Is there anything outside?"

Leo shook his head: "We heard people approaching here from a long distance, and I'm afraid it's ordinary investigators, if they see us with mental problems, they will be broken." He laughed: "But you are friends of Gangji. , and they are all SS-level investigators, there will definitely not be such a situation, so we can rest assured."

It's quite kind, it has become like this, the first time I thought it would affect the spiritual value of other human beings.Zhongyuan Zhong also thought.

Under Leo's warm welcome, the group of people were taken into Xilin Village, and they found an empty house for them to stay in temporarily.

It has to be said that although the human bodies living here have turned into monsters early, their living habits still retain the habits of human beings, and the rooms are cleaned up.

Leo also took a few people and brought them a lot of food.The food is served with large leaves. Although the method is very rough, it is better than fresh, and the smell is very attractive, which makes people's index fingers move.

Nakahara Chuya has been fond of food since the copy of [Famine World] came out. After all, after experiencing the kind of hunger that scratches his lungs, he also enjoys the feeling of fullness when filling his stomach.

The grilled fish is golden in color and seasoned with the simplest salt, but it tastes a bit like chicken, with few spines, and the meat is very firm and delicious.Although the soup made of wild vegetables and unknown animal meat looks ugly, it is amazing in the mouth. The faint fragrance is mixed with the deliciousness of the meat. After one bite, the body and mind feel comfortable.

There are also all kinds of wild fruits, all of which have never been seen in the Central Plains. They are huge, and even the smallest berries are at least the size of an apple. When you put it in your mouth, the sweet and sour juice is fried, and it is very enjoyable to eat. .

Zhongyuan Zhong also had a good time, and he looked up by chance, and his eyes happened to meet a small creature next to Leo.

The creature looked very much like a small chicken, but it was naturally much bigger than an ordinary chicken, about the size of an adult cat, but it looked very petite against Leo's background.

It is fluffy all over, and its body is round and egg-shaped, with a pair of black sesame-like peas eyes blinking at Zhongya Zhongyuan, and it looks very cute.The yellow fluff felt good to the touch, and Zhongyuan Zhong also felt itchy for a while, couldn't help but picked up a berry, and shook it in front of his eyes like a child.The little chick was obviously very concerned about the berries in Zhongyuan Zhongye's hand, and was easily distracted. His short wings flapped unconsciously twice, tangled for a moment, and then he was seduced by the food and obediently turned towards Zhongyuanzhong. Also ran here.

Zhong Yuanzhong also stretched out his hand to hug the little chick at the right time, and then fed him the berries in his hand.The little chick ate the berries and flapped his wings happily. He had a good impression of Zhongyuan Zhongye, the person who fed him, and he didn't bother being hugged by Zhongyuan Zhongye. inside.

Zhong Yuanzhong also felt the delicate fluff, and couldn't help touching it again and again, very satisfied.

Leo also noticed the interaction between the two, and couldn't help laughing: "This is Hami, the youngest child in our village. He was born not long ago and can't speak yet."

"So your name is Hami." Zhongyuan Zhong also rubbed the little chicken's head, the little chicken was very restrained, and he rubbed his palms intimately in Zhongyuan Zhongye with his head held high.

After Leo finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to Sawada Tsunayoshi: "This is the child of Jim and Lina. Not long after you left last time, Lina found out that she was pregnant. It's a pity that they didn't treat you too much." Stay for a few days, or I will let you know the good news."

"It turned out to be Jim's child!" Tsunayoshi Sawada was very happy: "That's great, Linna talked to me for a long time, saying that she always wanted a child, but she didn't expect her wish to be realized so quickly. By the way, Why didn't you see Jim and Lena?"

Hearing the names of his parents, Hami in Nakahara's arms flapped his wings, staring at Leo with his round eyes unblinking, as if expecting him to continue talking about his parents.

However, Leo sighed, and said helplessly: "Damn, there has been a riot in the monsters in the east recently, and the location is very close to our hunting area. Someone was injured because of it when hunting before, so now we have to go around for more And..." His eyes showed deep sorrow: "For some reason, those monsters are desperately migrating to the west, and their route is likely to hit our village."

The rioting monsters... Zhong Yuanzhong also thought of the flock of birds he saw in the afternoon, presumably it must be related to this monster riot.

"We've lived here for so long, and we really don't want to move if we can." He sighed again: "What I'm most worried about is that if we really have to leave, the children will be hurt during the relocation."

There are many crises in the Warcraft Forest. As an old man who existed when the village was established, Leo is very clear about what happened in the past.They were able to establish Xilin Village back then, and it is hard to tell others about the hardships they experienced.

The monsters living in this world are all powerful.It is difficult to deal with those who have not opened their minds and rely on pure wildness. If they have opened their minds, their thinking is not much different from ordinary humans, and it is even more difficult to deal with.

Wanting to find a place that is not considered a territory in this forest where countless monsters live, where there is plenty of food and water and a place to live is simply looking for a needle in a haystack.

Especially after living in groups, they are more vulnerable to attacks from monsters coming from all directions to compete for territory.

Whether they move or not, it is likely to cause huge damage to them.

"How many monsters are there?" Zhongyuan Zhongye suddenly asked.

"At least a hundred." Leo roughly said the number: "What's wrong?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi understood what Nakahara Chuya meant, and he had the same intention, so he said, "We can stay and help you deal with these monsters."

"Eh?" Leo was taken aback, he was more surprised than surprised: "Aren't you going to move on to the upper floors? Will this delay your time too much?"

"It's nothing, I've been to [Warcraft Forest] so many times, which time didn't you help me a lot?" Sawada Tsunayoshi said with a smile: "And some of our team came to the upper world for the first time, from the third floor to the first floor. The fourth floor will cause huge pressure, just staying here can give them a good buffer."

But Tsunayoshi Sawada was a little surprised.Osamu Dazai's physical fitness is not as good as other investigators, and he did not expect to be able to easily cope with the pressure changes on the third floor.

Sawada Tsunayoshi and Nakahara also had this idea, and Leo gave them a place to rest and food. Others also had a good impression of this village, so they all nodded in agreement.

Seeing everyone's firm thinking, Leo didn't shirk anymore, he rubbed his nose embarrassedly, and his eyes showed a lot of joy: "Then I will trouble you."

He has seen the strength of Sawada Tsunayoshi before. The legendary SSS investigator's strength can be described as terrifying, similar to a personal natural disaster.And the rest of them are all SS-level investigators, and they are also the most advanced combat power in the "tower", more than enough to deal with a group of monsters.

Now that they have discussed this, everyone decided to stay in Xilin Village temporarily until they can help them solve the monster incident.

That night, Hami's parents did not come back.Leo was very worried, and sent another villager to look for it.

Nakahara Chuya and others wanted to follow along, but Leo stopped them, saying that they don't need to trouble them for the time being.Seeing that Hami liked Zhongyuan Chuya very much, he handed him over to Zhongyuan Zhongya to take care of him temporarily.

Nakahara Chuya and the others had no choice but to stay in the village for the time being, while carefully guarding against the hordes of monsters that might appear at any time.

Early the next morning, Zhong Yuan was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps.In addition to him, Sawada Tsunayoshi and others also woke up amidst the movement.

Hami, who was sleeping in the arms of Nakahara Nakaya and Dazai Osamu, was woken up by Nakahara Nakaya's movement of getting up, blinked his eyes and let out a "chirp" in a daze, not understanding what happened.

Nakahara also stuffed Hami into Dazai Osamu's hands and asked him to look after him, while he pushed the door and walked out.

Residents in the village obviously noticed the footsteps, and pushed open the door one after another to check.Not long after, a leopard-like creature was seen running towards the village in the distance, kicking up a cloud of dust.Behind him, two bear-sized creatures were following it. They looked like chickens, with four legs growing from their lower bodies, and they looked very weird.It is these four legs that allow them to run as fast as leopards.

Zhong Yuanzhong also recognized him. He was a villager sent by Leo yesterday to look for Hami's parents. I remember his name was "Jeremy". He also didn't return overnight yesterday.It seems that the two behind them should be Hami's parents, right?

Seeing that Harmi's parents finally returned, Leo heaved a sigh of relief, and before he had time to rejoice, he heard Jeremy yelling, "It's not good! Those monsters are rushing towards us like crazy!"

"What!" Leo was extremely shocked. He didn't expect that the speculation he had made with Nakahara Chuya and others yesterday would become a reality today: "What's going on?"

The three of Jeremy and the others had rushed to the village at this moment. Hami in Dazai Osamu's arms struggled a bit, and then rushed directly towards his parents, making intimate chirping sounds continuously.

Jeremy took a breath and continued: "When I went to find Jim and the others yesterday, I found that they were trapped in the hunting ground by wild animals. I was thinking of finding a way for them to escape, but the group of monsters did not know where they came from. Where did the flying Kili birds fight. They lost to the Kili birds and retreated towards our village. Jim and I took advantage of the chaos and fled. Fortunately, they were not as fast as us, and retreated while fighting Only then can we go back to the village first." Jeremy said anxiously: "What should we do? It's too late to retreat now!"

"Don't worry, isn't there us here?" Chuya Zhongya's voice suddenly sounded. Even though they were facing a large number of monsters that were coming, Chuya Zhongya and the others were not anxious at all, but eager to try.

"It just happened that they came here, just for a morning exercise."
