Game of the World Tree - Chapter 700
700. Chapter 697 System Connection Interrupted… (800 monthly tickets plus more)
It was as if he had crossed the infinite, and it was as if he had crossed the void.
In a trance, Cyber felt like he was on a roller coaster, the world was spinning,
and he felt top-heavy. He couldn’t control his body, couldn’t make a sound, and his breathing almost stopped. In front of him was a world full of light and color
. At one moment, he felt as if he saw the boundless starry sky, but the next second, the whole world was replaced by deep darkness.
When Cyber endured the feeling of suffocation and vomiting and wondered if he had a bug, the whole world suddenly became normal again.
Cyber collapsed on the ground, breathing the air greedily, but the air that entered his nostrils was filled with an indescribable decay and decay, which almost made him suffocate again. He
opened his eyes and looked up.
This place… is no longer in the Titan ruins.
Above his head, there was a deep and extreme darkness, and there was a faint thick cloud layer slowly rolling.
Silver lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, accompanied by rumbling thunder, illuminating everything, but the next second it was wrapped in sticky clouds again.
Cyber took a break, stood up, and then looked around.
He found himself in a vast world.
In front of him was an endless wilderness, with no trace of plants on the ground, only dark brown land.
The land was seriously desertified. If you look closely, you will find that there is still a faint black smoke. Cyber, who has been through the Demon God Labyrinth for many times, knows that it is a feature of being polluted by the power of the abyss.
The surroundings are very quiet. Except for the occasional thunder, the whole world seems to have no other sounds, not even the sound of the wind, giving people the feeling that the world has stopped.
“Where is this?”
Cyber was a little confused.
He suddenly remembered something and looked back and found that there was no trace of the teleportation array behind him, nor any trace of the teleportation light gate.
He seemed to have appeared here suddenly.
“It’s that sealing array! I should have successfully activated it just now, and then I felt like I was sucked in…”
“Could it be that this is the space sealed by the array? Is it a new map?”
Cyber guessed excitedly.
However, just as he was about to use the [Reconnaissance] skill to observe the surroundings, a strong sense of crisis suddenly struck his heart.
Cyber’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly dodged to the side, only to see that the ground he was standing on suddenly cracked, and a four-meter-long pincer rushed out.
“Fuck!”
Looking at the hideous pincer with black hair, Cyber was almost scared to death.
However, before he could stand firm, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
Cyber lowered his head and saw that a sharp mouthpart had broken out of the ground at some point and had pierced into his chest.
The paralysis spread to his limbs, and his brain gradually slowed down. Cyber opened his mouth and his consciousness fell into darkness.
…………
A golden light flashed, and Cyber climbed up from the resurrection area in the central square of the Chosen City.
He gasped for air, and there seemed to be lingering pain in his chest.
“Damn, I forgot to lower the pain before entering the ruins.”
He cursed inwardly.
After checking his equipment and finding that all the items were recovered with him, Cyber breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, he felt pain again.
“One hundred resurrection coins are gone.”
He is now level 50, still silver, and the death penalty is doubled, and one hundred resurrection coins will be deducted at a time.
One hundred resurrection coins, that is, ten thousand contribution points.
Considering that there is a limit on the number of resurrection coins that can be exchanged every day, even if Cyber carefully saved them for a long time, excluding the ones deducted by death, there are only two hundred and two in total.
This guy… he directly lost half of them.
I don’t know if the fat head mushrooms I picked can make up for it…
But soon, Cyber adjusted his mentality and became excited.
Thinking about the mysterious world he had just reached through the sealing array, he was a little excited:
“That place… I have never heard of it. Could it be that I have also triggered a new map?”
The monster that could kill him in an instant was probably at least a silver level.
And if there is a monster, it is very likely that there is a new map hidden in the game!
He has been playing the game for more than a year, and he knows the official nature of “Elf Kingdom” too well. Unlike other games, “Elf Kingdom” likes to hide many plots and maps, not directly announce them, but let players discover them themselves.
From the player’s perspective, it is actually quite interesting. The Mengmeng Committee organizes overseas expeditions for this reason.
However, when Cyber looked through the official website information on the chat interface, he found that there was no system prompt for the discovery of a new map as before.
“Isn’t it a new map?”
Cyber was slightly stunned.
“Or… is it because I died too quickly? I didn’t have time to trigger the system judgment?”
He thought again.
After pondering for a moment, Cyber planned to pack up again and return to the Titan Ruins to check again.
He didn’t plan to call anyone else.
When a new map or hidden mission is triggered, the first batch of discoverers will be “put on the wall” and receive some special treatment or even rewards. As an ordinary person, he doesn’t want to give this opportunity to others.
In addition, he is not a guild player, but a pure individual player, so there is no need to report to the guild as other players do.
He used to participate in the First Legion, but there are too many activities in the First Legion Guild, and most of them require participation. As a semi-casual party, Cyber is not very adaptable to that rhythm, so he finally quit.
Later, the Mengmeng Committee also invited him, but after becoming an individual player and buying a sea view house in Milovia, Cyber suddenly felt that the leisurely life of individual players was not bad, so he declined.
“Buy some magic scrolls and supplies, and then change into my strongest defensive equipment. The monster may be the gatekeeper BOSS. As long as I can avoid it, I may be able to trigger something. If it doesn’t work, I will consider calling other people in the guild.”
Cyber thought.
He clicked on his status bar, ready to see how much contribution he had left, so that he could buy some supplies in the Chosen City.
However, when he noticed his resurrection coins, he was slightly stunned:
“Two hundred and two coins?”
Looking at the number of resurrection coins, Cyber thought he was dazzled for a moment.
“I…didn’t I just die once? I was resurrected from the World Tree, why didn’t the resurrection coins deducted at all?”
He looked a little confused.
Touching his chest, the pain seemed to have not dissipated yet. Cyber swore that the death just now was definitely not an illusion.
Not to mention, he was still at the ruins a second ago. Unless he died and resurrected, there was no way he could appear at the resurrection point of the Chosen City, right?
“Could it be…I got stuck in a bug?”
Cyber’s eyes lit up.
Profit! This saved a hundred resurrection coins!
He was happy.
Then soon, he thought of more:
“Wait…Will not death in the sealing array just now not deduct resurrection coins?”
Once this thought came up, it could never be dissipated.
And Cyber’s desire to explore that mysterious world again became stronger.
That’s right, he was willing to call it a mysterious world. After all… the sun was still high in the sky, but the sky there was obviously dark!
Of course, even with this speculation, Cyber didn’t intend to use death to verify it. He still honestly bought some disposable escape scrolls in the Chosen City, and then used the teleportation array to return to the Titan ruins near Milovia.
He had already marked the location of the sealing array on the small map, so it didn’t take too long to rush straight to the sealing array.
The magic crystals used to activate the magic circle last time were still there, but they were a little dim.
Cyber picked it up and sensed it, and found that the magic power inside was almost consumed by half.
“Can it be activated again…”
He frowned slightly.
He only had these few magic crystals left. This kind of ore, which has more magic power than magic stones, is very precious. If you buy it on the market, one piece will cost at least 30,000 contribution points.
Four magic crystals, that’s 120,000.
Although Cyber is a silver player, he is not poor, but 120,000 contribution points is not so wasteful.
“If I can’t find anything this time, I’ll call on others or recruit for help on the official website forum.”
He thought.
Cyber activated the sealing magic circle again and was ready.
Yingying’s brilliance lit up, and the world around him changed again.
The discomfort he had felt before came again, and the world was spinning.
But this time, Cyber was well prepared. At the moment he was about to lose his five senses, he transformed into a blood elf and cast his innate magic [Atomization]!
The view changed, and Cyber appeared in the mysterious world again, but this time he descended in the form of black fog.
He did not hesitate, and immediately fled to the distance the moment he descended.
As if sensing his breath, the ground cracked again, and the huge pincers and slender mouthparts broke out of the ground again.
However, Cyber, who turned into black fog this time, was well prepared. He escaped the attack like a gust of swift wind and slowly appeared hundreds of meters away.
While panting, Cyber turned his head and saw clearly what the monster that attacked him before was.
It seemed to be a huge beetle, or a scorpion, with a mosquito-like sharp mouthpart on its head.
It was covered with black scales and exuded an evil breath…
“A monster contaminated by the power of the abyss!”
Cyber judged in his heart.
After failing to catch Cyber with one blow, the hideous monster did not seem to have the idea of continuing to chase, but continued to drill back into the soil.
The entire ground closed again, and in the mist, it returned to a state without any trace.
“It’s an instinctive predation… It’s not specifically guarding the entrance or exit, or targeting me. From this point of view, there should be some creatures active on the surface of this mysterious map, being hunted by this monster. Otherwise, this monster would not sit and wait like this.”
As a hunter player, Cyber has long developed the habit of judging the environment based on the behavior of monsters.
This awareness even extends to reality, and his observation ability has unconsciously improved a lot in reality.
The monster drilled back into the ground, and he was temporarily safe.
However, this also reminded Cyber that this quiet world may not be as peaceful as it seems on the surface, but is full of murderous intentions!
“Go and explore the surroundings.”
Cyber thought to himself.
He was going to call up the small map first, record the current coordinates, and turn on the map drawing function.
However, when Cyber moved his eyes to the small map in the upper right corner of his field of vision, he was stunned.
There, the small map was dark.
“Huh?”
Cyber frowned slightly.
He clicked on the small map, but there was no response at all, only a circle loading the network kept spinning.
“What’s going on? Bad signal?”
Cyber frowned even more.
Blue Star’s network technology had completely solved the signal problem many years ago. From the moment he came into contact with the network, Cyber had never encountered a signal problem.
He looked at the chat box in the lower left corner again, his eyes slightly fixed.
The latest world chat message was five minutes ago, when he had not yet entered the new map.
After entering the new map, he had not received any new messages.
Cyber’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly called up the friend list, and then he was surprised to find that everyone’s avatar had turned gray…
And when he tried to connect to the external network through the game system, he only received a warning:
“The system connection is interrupted, and it is temporarily unable to connect to the network…”
Cyber: …
He suddenly had a bad premonition, and quickly called out the logout button.
The logout button was still there.
“I was scared to death, I thought something was going to happen.”
He breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when Cyber tried to press the logout button of the game, he found that the usual “Do you want to exit the game?” dialog box did not pop up…
What popped up was a spinning circle and a reminder of “system disconnection”.
Cyber: …
Exit, can’t exit the game? !
He panicked all of a sudden.
“Calm down! Calm down! You can still exit the game by committing suicide and returning to the city! You can still exit the game by committing suicide and returning to the city! This should be a bug in the game… This should be a bug in the game…”
Cyber hurriedly comforted himself.
He took several deep breaths and finally calmed down.
The resurrection coins that were not deducted, the game system that was disconnected…
Gradually, Cyber had some guesses in his mind:
“Perhaps, I may have been stuck in a map that has not been opened to players yet…”
As soon as this idea came out, Cyber calmed down a lot. After
hesitating for a while, he planned to explore around first, and then run back to find this monster to commit suicide, or simply use his own dagger to commit suicide.
He randomly chose a direction, turned on his [Reconnaissance] skill, and walked carefully.
This world is desolate and has nothing.
Within sight, it is always a monotonous wilderness.
Only the flashing lightning in the sky proves that this is not a static world.
After Cyber walked for about ten minutes, he suddenly felt a similar sense of crisis again.
Without hesitation, he immediately cast the atomization spell and fled into the distance.
Behind him, a hideous monster broke out of the ground again.
This monster looked similar to the previous one, but its strength seemed much weaker.
After dodging the sneak attack, Cyber determined that the opponent’s strength was below the silver level.
However, his name was a series of question marks.
“Humph, a monster below the silver level dares to sneak attack me?”
Cyber sneered, used [Flying Bat Wings], and drew his short knife to teach the monster in front of him a lesson.
However, just as he was preparing to fight, a silver arrow suddenly shot from a distance and hit the monster’s head.
