Chapter 18 Future Crisis
Chapter 18 Future Crisis
The weapon spirit Meteor Vein chosen by Li Tie spread among the player community.
During this period, some players followed Li Tie's footsteps to the Weapon Spirit Valley, also wanting to shelter the original weapon spirit and obtain rewards.
There are not many monsters in the Weapon Spirit Valley, but their levels are very high. The further you go in, the higher the level of the weapon spirit hunting, and the cooler the appearance.
Several teams failed after multiple attempts.
Li Tie was no exception. After taking in the five weapon spirits, he did not choose to go deeper into the Weapon Spirit Valley.
Except for the five weapon spirits at the entrance of the Weapon Spirit Valley, the weapon spirits inside have a minimum hunting level of 30. He can't even withstand a single attack, so there is no point in continuing the challenge.
The emergence of the weapon spirit flow has allowed many players to find the direction of their next efforts.
……
Tezuka Village, underground
Qi Sheng sat cross-legged on the Origin Altar, his mind quickly flashing through the network data information that provided guidance and feedback.
At this moment, the elusive guiding water ball suddenly appeared:
[Boss, I sensed the aura of the Kuroshio on Earth.]
"where?"
[Towards the North Pole.]
"Go and take a look, and inform Uncle Yan."
[Okay, let’s go now! ]
Guide the water ball to disappear into thin air at this time.
Soon, a cold voice came:
"Xiao Qi, I'm here."
The light screen projection scene appeared in front of Qi Sheng's eyes. The picture showed a room with simple decoration. A faint blue flame was burning on the round table in the room, and a man with extraordinary temperament was sitting next to it.
He has long black hair, pale skin, and a delicate bow tie that outlines his perfect neckline, but there is no expression on his handsome face.
Mysterious and noble, this was the thought that came to Qi Sheng’s mind when he first met Yan Ming.
The man in the projection image in front of him was Yan Ming, one of the four great servants of Emperor Zhao, who controlled the power of space.
He was the one who created the space guidance part of the challenger system (player recruitment system), and the guide was responsible for the dataization and content analysis part.
In the head-on confrontation with the terrifying black tide, Yan Ming lost most of the vitality in his body. Since then, he has been like a puppet and looks extremely indifferent.
Qi Sheng was used to this.
If Yan Ming and his servants had not risked their lives to save him, he would have died in the black fog of fear.
This time he asked the guide to notify Yan Ming because he was unable to perform ultra-long-distance space teleportation and needed Yan Ming's help.
"Uncle Yan, thank you for your help." Qi Sheng nodded politely.
"be prepared."
As Yan Ming finished speaking, his pupils emitted a faint ice-blue light, and a rotating dark blue teleportation formation appeared under Qi Sheng's feet.
A strong feeling of weightlessness followed.
boom!
The dark blue flames enveloped his body and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When the faint blue light that blocked the view faded away, what came into view was the flying snow. Looking around, there was an endless expanse of white. Glaciers covered the vast land and connected with the blue sky in the distance, forming a pure and magnificent picture.
The biting cold winds converged in the air, making a shrill whistling sound in my ears.
The sudden drop in ambient temperature caused Qi Sheng to shiver uncontrollably. At this moment, he decisively switched to the Emperor's Omen form.
boom!
Scarlet flames spread from the head to the whole body, and the coldness dissipated.
He then flew into the sky, following the direction provided by his guiding perception.
A few minutes later, he saw a black line hanging high in the sky. He reached out to touch it, and suddenly the black line extended several tiny black tentacles that tried to wrap around his palm.
But under the calcination of the Emperor's Fire, the tentacles instantly disintegrated.
This discovery made Qi Sheng realize the seriousness of the problem.
His former home is being corroded and invaded by the terrifying black tide. Unlike the monster world, the erosion of the earth by the terrifying black tide is still in its initial stage and will not cause any impact on the ecology of this world.
But in the foreseeable future, the earth will also be corroded and swallowed by the terrifying black tide.
This reminded Qi Sheng of a previous guess.
In the years since he was away, many alien forces have appeared on Earth. Their appearance may be related to the terrifying black tide.
A few days ago, he saw such a discussion post on the Internet.
The topic of discussion was why the virtual game "Dark Land" was released in limited quantities with limited purchase qualifications.
In theory, the virtual server created by the Eclipse Clan is fully capable of supporting a large group of players, but a limited number of servers are always distributed to the Human Federation and other alien forces that have settled on Earth.
If it is hunger marketing, it is not reasonable.
Although the Eclipse Clan will use currency to purchase resources from other races, they mostly give technology and resources to other races as gifts.
Someone has done statistics and found that the resources that the Eclipse Clan provides to other clans every year are far greater than the resources they spend on purchasing from other clans.
In response to this question, the poster gave a guess.
He believes that the purpose of the Eclipse Clan creating virtual games is not to earn resources from other clans through games, but to train their troops in a virtual environment that is close to reality in order to cope with some major crisis that may come.
As for issuing game qualifications to other races, it is just a supplement and serves as a sparring partner.
In the virtual games that the Eclipse Clan usually develops, the Eclipse Clan is always a camp, and other races unite into one camp to fight against each other.
Therefore, training is the main purpose, and first of all, it must serve the Eclipse Clan.
There is one thing that can confirm this speculation.
According to historical records, when the Eclipse Clan fled to Earth three hundred years ago, they said that the plane of existence they were in was eroded by some mysterious force, causing the world to collapse and shatter.
Faced with the doomsday crisis, the Eclipse Clan finally gave up resistance. The remaining members fled to Earth through space technology before the world collapsed, and eventually built the Eclipse City on the Moon.
Other alien forces that came to Earth also had similar statements.
Qi Sheng already had the answer to this question in his mind.
The doomsday crisis that the Eclipse Clan's former home world encountered was most likely the invasion of the Black Tide. The years of fighting the Black Tide caused the Eclipse civilization to decline from its peak. Other alien forces also had similar experiences.
Now the Earth is also showing initial signs of a terrifying black tide invasion.
This confirms the speculation in the discussion thread that the Eclipse Clan is training their troops to deal with unknown terrors.
There is another point that can support his conclusion.
The area of the monster world is expanding and the landscape is constantly changing.
He originally thought that it was some unknown change brought about by the erosion of the black tide, but now he thinks that it is very likely that the terrifying black tide has swallowed up other worlds and integrated the fragments of other worlds into the monster world, causing the area of the monster world to continue to grow.
This is also the reason why there is exploration fog in the "map" function in the game.
It's not that he doesn't want to give every player a complete world map, but the terrain of the monster world has changed so much that the previous map can no longer adapt to the current monster world.
[Boss, this world will gradually deteriorate in the future, and your player recruitment plan must be accelerated. ]
The guide said with a serious expression.
"Just proceed steadily. At least at this stage, there won't be any impact."
[Boss, I have a question.]
"ask."
[If this world enters the climax of the terrifying black tide invasion, and evil spirits are rampant, what will you do? ]
"When that day comes, perhaps I will give players the authority to bring the power of the monster world back to reality. At least I will ensure their safety in the real world... But before that, I will not reveal any information."
【why? 】
“Only players without real-life pressure can feel happy in the monster world and enjoy the gaming process, and happiness is the source of their fearlessness and creativity.”
