This weird Three Kingdoms game is too cruel

Running for an hour.

Finally got rid of the pursuers.

The players took a short rest and used another bottle of breath-containing potion to prevent the scent from being locked.

Ye Limeng asked: "Approximately how far is it?"

"It will take an hour to reach it at full speed." Zhou Jidao: "However, there is a place called Xi Village thirty miles ahead. Now it has been occupied by aliens. I'm afraid it will not be so easy to pass safely."

Xianyu suddenly stabbed: "Damn, why are these lizards everywhere?"

Demon Demon: "After all, Lord Dragon Lizard came to Woniu Mountain earlier than us."

Brother Rui, with black eyes, said: "Old Zhu, let's fly a hawk to conduct a reconnaissance to avoid being attacked by an ambush."

The midnight pig-killing man took out a qi-replenishing pill: "Hey, although this skill is very easy to use, it consumes a lot of money. Fortunately, I prepared enough blue pills when I went out this time, otherwise I would have exhausted my energy in less than two uses. People die.”

Swallow the Qi-Building Pill while talking.

The Thunderhorn Eagle is summoned again.

The Midnight Pig Killer controlled the Thunder Horned Eagle to fly ahead.

Others followed closely on horseback and at a canter, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

The Thunder Horned Eagle cannot leave the summoner's side for more than ten miles, but with the advantage of high-altitude reconnaissance, it is enough to have a panoramic view of the situation within dozens of miles nearby. After a while, a small town appeared in front of them.

Xixiang was originally a town of about 300 households, with a maximum population of no more than a thousand people. There were two smaller abandoned villages three to five miles away, surrounded by large and small fields.

I saw at least hundreds of human serfs who had been captured and enslaved, cultivating unknown crops on the fields, and there were several dragon lizard soldiers patrolling nearby.

As expected, this place has been completely controlled by the dragon lizards.

Although the growth efficiency of these common field spiritual plants is not high, the advantage is that they are large and inexhaustible. As long as there is enough labor and time, many spiritual plants and medicinal materials can still be cultivated.

After all, the cost of building a spiritual field is too high for the lord, and an ordinary first-level spiritual field is only the size of a small vegetable garden. Even with a hundred times production speed, it cannot meet the huge demand of the entire territory.

Under this situation.

To maximize profits.

Lords usually enslaved indigenous people for forced labor and used the lowest and cheapest serfs to engage in production.

The labor force of a few hundred people is nothing. If there are thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, it is enough to create huge value for the territory, and ordinary indigenous people can feed themselves with just a handful of ordinary food, and the cost that the lord needs to pay is not high.

"The lizard people are so damned!"

“It would be great if we could move all this population back.”

"Yes, the labor force in the territory is not enough, and the NPC population is increasing, our player quota may also increase."

"Forget it!"

"How can we possibly do it?"

When the player discovers that a large number of enslaved indigenous people are found, they are filled with hatred. After all, in the player's opinion, most of these indigenous people born in the Three Kingdoms era are their own people, but it is a pity that they cannot liberate them with the current ability.

Reconnaissance continues.

Thunderhorn eagles began circling over Creek Country.

This originally very simple village and town has been transformed by the dragon lizard people. Not only has a defensive wall been built, but there are also several star-style buildings, such as arrow towers and barracks.

"Trouble!"

"There are enemy troops stationed!"

"And it looks like a lot of it!"

Not only was Xi Village transformed into a very strong village, it was also garrisoned by at least a hundred dragon lizard soldiers. Perhaps because it was not far from the county seat, it was transformed into a strategically important fortress.

The Midnight Pig Killer controlled the Thunder Horned Eagle in an attempt to get closer, hoping to see clearly the distribution of troops, the condition of the buildings, and preferably the location of the Blessing Point of the Stars. These were important pieces of information that would definitely come in handy in the future.

However.

at this time.

The dragon lizards started to stir.

They apparently noticed the Thunderhorned Eagle.

The midnight pig-killing man felt something was wrong and had to withdraw his summoned spirit.

Unexpectedly, a senior dragon lizard man who looked like a general threw a short spear directly.

[Your summoned spirit "Thunder Horn Eagle" has died, and the skill cooling time has been increased by 60 minutes. 】

"Fuck!"

"What's wrong?"

"This village has been transformed into a military camp. It is estimated that there are one or two hundred soldiers stationed there. There is at least one Lizard General guarding it. He took action and killed my Thunder Horned Eagle."

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this.

"There must be a star teleportation point in Xixiang."

"This means that dragon lizard soldiers from other areas in Woniu Mountain can teleport over at any time, but we have not lit up any teleportation point in Wuniu Mountain. Even if we have troops, we cannot transport them in time. Once a war breaks out, it is impossible to win."

"Yes! Besides, there are only a dozen of us now and we don't pose a threat at all!"

"The dragon lizard people must have noticed our presence nearby. They will definitely be more vigilant next. Maybe the dragon lizard lord will send more men. It seems that we cannot stay in this place for long."

"Quickly retreat!"

"Slip away!"

"..."

All the players ran away quickly.

Brother Heitongrui asked: "Brother Zhou, besides this route, are there any other routes?"

Zhou Ji thought for a while and said: "Yes, we can bypass Xixiang through the mountain road on the west side of Woniu Mountain, but this route is very hidden and there are many monsters in the abyss. No one has gone there for at least ten years. I don't think these aliens know it. This trail.”

"Very good!"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Let's take a side road!"

Players were relieved to hear that there were other routes to choose from.

Zhou Ji said with a solemn expression: "Although this road can bypass the enemy in front of us, I'm afraid it is not safe. After all, it is too close to Woniu Mountain and all kinds of abyssal creatures are rampant."

Crazy Blade King: "Most of the creatures in the abyss have no brains and no wisdom. It's better than dealing with an organized army."

Ye Limeng: "That's right! Let's go this way!"

The players made their choice unanimously.

After all, the individual combat capability of dragon lizard soldiers at this stage far exceeds that of human soldiers. Except for a few top masters such as Gu Zhou, Ye Limeng, Black Eyed Brother Rui, and Crazy Sword Lao Wang, most players cannot defeat a dragon lizard of the same level in a duel. Soldier.

What's more, the scale and number of the dragon lizard troops are far greater than those of humans, including dragon lizard generals and many second-order soldiers.

Detours can be dangerous.

If you don't take a detour, you will definitely die.

Zhou Ji led seventeen players into a mountain forest, probably because it was relatively close to Woniu Mountain, the core pollution area. The abyss pollution in this place had become seriously serious visible to the naked eye.

The ground here is covered with a thick layer of flesh-like fungi. Various crawling sarcomas can often be seen on the densely packed trees around. In addition, there are also many monsters.

[Abyss Undead], a level 8 ordinary unit...

The player encounters a group of abyssal undead here. Compared with the undead wandering near the Luoshui execution ground, the undead here are of a higher level and have more severe physical deformations.

Of course.

Just undead people.

Not nearly enough to pose a threat.

The player used bows and arrows and spells to clean up, and wiped out all the undead before they could get close. Even if there were some fish that slipped through the net, they couldn't stop the player's blade at all.

[You picked up the loot, energy +450, magic stone fragments +600, undead sickle +1! 】

[You picked up trophies, energy +450, magic stone fragments +600, undead robes +1! 】

【……】

It won't take a while.

The player cleared out more than a hundred wandering undead.

Niu Shisan couldn't help complaining: "The drops of the undead are so shabby!"

Brother Rui with black eyes nodded and said: "In terms of the direct drop of magic stones, magic crystals and abyss essence, dragon lizard soldiers are obviously higher than humanoid elite monsters, and humanoid monsters are higher than non-humanoid elite monsters. We have killed a lot of lizard people recently. , it is inevitable to feel the huge gap in comparison.”

Xianyu stabbed: "The undead are not even elite monsters. It is normal to lose shabby points, but you can win with quantity."

"that is!"

"Don't treat mosquitoes like meat."

"Besides, these undead people are not mosquitoes."

Everyone cleared the monster and moved forward and discovered a canyon.

Zhou Ji said: "After we pass through this canyon, we can bypass Xixiang through a winding mountain road, and then enter the area where Shansang County is located from another direction."

"very good!"

"Hurry up!"

"hurry up!"

"We only have six or seven hours left!"

"Don't be careless. This place looks a little weird. It doesn't seem to be easy to pass!"

Players discover it after entering the canyon.

The pollution situation in this place is far worse than imagined.

[You are affected by "Abyss Pollution", all attributes are -3! 】

The entire canyon was shrouded in thick blood mist. When players entered this area, everyone's attributes dropped to varying degrees.

Ye Limeng: "Damn it! Why is the pollution in this place so serious?"

Brother Xiao Ma: "Yes, this is almost comparable to the core pollution area of ​​Luoshui Execution Ground!"

Little Lingdang couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Zhou Ji, has the pollution in this place always been so serious?"

Zhou Ji shook his head and said he was not sure; "Since the arrival of the abyss, all places near Woniu Mountain have become very dangerous. I have not been around this area for many years."

Xianyu suddenly sighed: "This is not inside Woniu Mountain, it's just close to Woniu Mountain. The aura of the abyss is already so strong, I don't know what's going on inside Woniu Mountain."

Chen Xi nodded and said: "The core pollution source of this place is obviously stronger than that of Luoshui Execution Ground, but I don't know why it was restricted."

A flash of light flashed through Zhou Ji's eyes: "That must be what the foster father did!"

He explained: "Zhou still remembers that in the first twenty years, many people died every dark day, and many villages and towns were destroyed. It was during this process that I was saved by my adoptive father."

"Later, my adoptive father disappeared deep in Woniu Mountain. From then on, the abyssal creatures in Woniu Mountain rarely spread to the outside world. I think my adoptive father played a vital role in this."

Players liked it one after another.

"It certainly sounds like it."

"Zhou Cang is, after all, a loyal and loyal man who is rare throughout history."

"It is entirely possible for him to perform a feat of sacrificing himself for others!"

"But then again, I don't know what state Zhou Cang is in now. Who is the big BOSS in the Woniu Mountain area?"

Xianyu asked directly: "Brother Zhou, when General Zhou Cang lived with you, did he reveal the identity or clues about the core polluter?"

"That's not true!"

Zhou Ji sighed: "I also tried to enter Woniu Mountain to find my adoptive father, but my strength was limited and I failed every time. My strength is not enough to get in!"

"What? With Uncle Zhou's strength, you can't even get in?"

"Is Woniu Mountain so dangerous?"

"Looks like we need to get out of here quickly."

"yes!"

The players were deeply aware of the danger in the core contaminated area of ​​Woniu Mountain. They quickly accelerated their pace and wanted to leave as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sharp sound broke through the air.

"careful!"

"There's a sneak attack!"

The Crazy Sword King has quick eyes and quick hands.

He took out his shield and stood in front of several crispy warlocks.

Only a few dull sounds were heard, and several arrows entwined with black aura were inserted into the shield. The terrifying power even knocked the level 9 warrior back two steps.

Dang Dang!

Zhou Ji also instantly drew his sword and deflected several arrows.

The seventeen players at the scene were all experienced and advanced players. They immediately sought cover and prepared themselves for the attack. At the same time, they quickly searched for the monster that launched the sneak attack.

"What the hell?!"

He slashed a street wildly, picked up two machetes, and jumped out. He turned on his iron armor and rushed towards the direction of the arrows. After dodging a few arrows, he finally saw the attacker.

[Devil Mountain Bandit], a level 7 elite unit... Introduction: Once a bandit from Woniu Mountain, he was contaminated by the abyss and transformed into a terrifying humanoid monster.

Four or five figures appeared in front of them.

The Demon Bandit is a humanoid monster, but its body has been severely deformed. Its skin, internal organs, and flesh are all torn into grid-like tissue, like a doll woven from old tree roots of different thicknesses. Its body is hundreds of times taller than ordinary people. Fifty times apart, it is almost impossible to distinguish the facial features.

Although the height of the body has been distorted, the limbs can still use weapons, and can even draw a bow and shoot arrows.

"You're so ugly! Let me kill you first!"

Slashing wildly along the street, he quickly rushed in front of the monster and struck a magic mountain bandit directly with his two swords. However, the feedback from his hand made him feel that what he had struck was not a flesh and blood body, but a piece of wood that was strong and full of toughness.

-

36!

This damage is obviously nothing to a level 7 elite monster!

The Demon Mountain Bandit quickly launched a counterattack, using a huge ax to strike quickly, slashing wildly across the street. The moment he resisted, he was blasted five or six meters away by the huge force.

Brother Heitongrui saw this and said quickly: "These monsters are powerful, with amazing strength and speed. It is estimated that they will be difficult to kill with physical attacks. Let's try using magic!"

"coming!"

Little Bell raised the level 8 white quality staff, and quickly fired out a flaming arrow, hitting one of the magic mountain thieves, instantly causing huge damage and setting his body on fire.

-

162 (Crit!)

"it works!"

Everyone quickly adjusted their strategies.

The warrior is responsible for resisting the attack of the magic bandits, and the ranger is responsible for containing it and creating attack opportunities for the warlock.

Although these demonic bandits have good physical defense, strength, and speed, their resistance to spells is very low. Players can deal with them with their current strength without any problem.

What's more, there are powerful second-level elite NPCs on site to help.

Even if something unexpected happens.

It also ensures nothing goes wrong.

In a short time, the five magic mountain bandits were eliminated.

[You picked up trophies, energy +2500, magic stone fragments +6000, magic mountain bandit battle ax +1! 】

[You picked up trophies, energy +2500, magic stone fragments +6000, magic mountain bandit war bow +1! 】

【……】

Players pick up loot.

The magic mountain bandit's drop is the normal level for level 7 elites.

Although there is a big gap between the essence and magic stone and the lizardman, the equipment that has been released is all white and high-grade. Not only are the quality attributes very good, but they can also be used directly. Every piece of equipment is worth a lot of money!

"Why is there a humanoid monster?"

"There seems to be something weird around here."

"It's best not to rush in and do some reconnaissance first!"

After some discussion, the players decided to temporarily stop moving forward and let Gu Zhou, Black Eyed Rui Brother, Hui Mu and other rangers find out the situation in this place first to prevent any accidents.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

The two weaker rangers came back first.

"There are a lot of magic mountain bandits around here!"

"There is another place ahead that looks like a cottage."

"There might be a big BOSS among them. Our Hidden Shadow Step is not at full level. Forced reconnaissance might alert the enemy, so we retreated first, but the two big guys Gu Zhou and Rui Ge have already sneaked in!"

The other players were surprised.

Even Zhou Ji didn't expect it.

There is actually a bandit camp nearby.

Could it be that the abyssal creatures in Woniu Mountain have emerged?
