Chapter 132 Quietly Entering My Dream (Two in One)
A green light bloomed from the black-haired young man's hand.
Countless filament-like green vines protrude from the cuffs of the shirt. They are like small snakes, intertwined and gradually forming a rectangular object.
The five players did not dare to blink, staring closely at the small vine snake in the black-haired young man's hand, and finally formed a "book".
A simple but weird "book".
The little snake on the vine is constantly squirming, giving people the illusion that this book is alive.
These are illusory branches woven by Chen Lun by urging [Jingzhe] to cover up the appearance of "Philip in Wonderland", making players mistakenly think that all this is his own extraordinary power.
Wow!
The book was suddenly opened, and the pages were scratched, making a sound.
"Quietly entering my dream..."
Mr. Jack's deep voice came slowly.
Then a white light suddenly appeared, and the five players' eyes suddenly dazzled.
boom!
When they came back to their senses, they were already in a dark forest.
"Hiss..."
Everyone took a breath.
Such power... is a bit scary!
The five players looked up and around, not daring to make too much noise.
The shadows of the trees were whirling, the light was dim, and there was silence all around. As far as the eye could see, there were only countless tall trees. Except for the five of them, no other creatures were found.
"We...have entered the 'copy'?"
the centaur asked in a cautious whisper.
"Probably, it's better to be careful."
Polaris replied briefly.
A few people walked a few steps and found that it was meaningless to move forward aimlessly, so they stopped again.
"What the hell is this place? There's not even a road."
Kotou Jin whispered.
"And it's quite eerie... Where should we go?"
Forget Wuji said.
Polaris thought for a moment and shook his head.
"There are no prompts and no tasks. It's very strange... How about we split up first? If there are any special circumstances, we can contact you in the chat room."
"Okay."
The centaur nodded.
But at this moment, Su Keying exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
Others looked at her.
"My sanity value has inexplicably decreased by 1 point!"
she said.
Everyone else was also shocked and quickly checked their own panels. Sure enough, just as Su Keying said, the sanity value dropped by 1 point out of thin air.
"Something's wrong! Staying here for too long will keep draining our sanity!"
The centaur said solemnly.
"If this continues, we won't be able to survive for long before our sanity is cleared and we will die if triggered."
Polaris analyzed it calmly and then added:
"Don't waste time, everyone, take action now, quickly!"
Following his words, the others stopped talking and immediately ran around.
Polaris ran straight forward. During this process, he always paid attention to his dashboard and found that the frequency of the decrease in sanity was about 1 point per minute.
According to their current attributes, their upper limit of sanity is only 6 to 7 points, which means they can only stay here for a few minutes per life!
Time is too short!
"What can you do with this little time? Alas...!"
Polaris frowned, feeling a little depressed.
This is obviously an excellent opportunity, but it comes when I am so weak. It would be a pity if I fail to grasp it and waste it in vain.
At this moment, Su Keying's text message appeared in the chat room.
"——I'm dead!"
Soon, other people also saw this message, and the horseman quickly asked:
"——Dead? How did you die?! What happened to you...?!"
"——I don't know, I just suddenly felt pain in my neck while running, then I lost consciousness, and then came back to life. (Speechless expression)"
Su Keying replied.
Polaris ran while sending his own message in the chat room:
"——Where were you after you were resurrected? Was what happened just now recorded?"
"——I don't know, the neighborhood is still the same, full of gray woods. It must have been recorded. I started recording it from the moment I entered here."
Su Keying replied.
At this moment, Goutou Jin and Wang Wangwuji sent text messages:
"——I'm dead too. Damn it, I don't even know what happened! It's inexplicable!"
"——Together, just like Su Keying, my neck hurts, and then the screen goes black...I see you, Su Keying!"
Polaris glanced at the message and thought to himself, it seems that they are still together after resurrection.
The next second, his pupils shrank.
Because he also felt a stinging pain in his neck, and his vision immediately went dark.
At the last moment, he noticed a detail, and before he had time to think about it, he was prompted:
【You are dead! 】
After his vision returned to normal, Polaris shook his head.
He found that the place where he was resurrected was still in the dark forest. Not far away, the centaur, the dog-headed gold, Wang Wangwuji and Su Keying were all gathered together.
"You all died once?"
Polaris walked over and asked in a deep voice.
"Well...it's the same as what Su Keying said."
The centaur's face didn't look good.
Goudou Jin and Wang Wangwuji frowned, thinking about how they died.
"If we don't figure it out, we may still be like this next... Forget it if we encounter a high-level monster. It's really annoying to die inexplicably like this."
Kotou Jin pulled off his hat and complained.
The level was not high to begin with, and all the experience points I had accumulated were lost.
"I seem to have discovered something, but I'm not sure yet...Su Keying, show me your video."
Polaris said.
When the others heard this, they immediately turned their attention to him.
"Okay, I'll post it in the public chat."
Su Keying operated her own panel and sent the recorded video.
Polaris clicked on the video and watched it with concentration, and others also clicked on the video to check it out.
After a while.
"I seem to see a line! It's reflected, look here!"
The dog-headed gold said loudly.
"Keep your voice down! Who knows what strange dangers there are here, don't attract attention!"
The centaur reminded him.
According to the nugget gold's reminder, everyone indeed noticed that there was a flash of luster in Su Keying's first-person vision. Between the two trees, there is an extremely thin thread that cannot be found unless you look carefully.
"It's spider silk..."
Polaris turned off the video and looked up at them.
"I noticed it before I died."
Others were shocked.
"So, the surrounding woods are full of this kind of... spider silk?! If we don't pay attention, we will be cut to death?!"
Kotoujin exclaimed.
Polaris nodded silently.
"So we can't run, we must always pay attention to the surrounding environment."
"Blanched! There is not much time in the first place, so this action is too inefficient...!"
Nugget Gold is extremely depressed.
The centaurs and Forgotten Wuji didn't look good on their faces either.
"Since we can't leave too far away, it doesn't make much sense for us to act separately. Let's go together next time. We can take care of each other when encountering danger."
Polaris calm analysis.
The others nodded silently.
Immediately afterwards, the five player groups started to act vigilantly and walked slowly in one direction.
Their figures twisted and wavered, reflected on a lake.
A young man with black hair stood by the lake.
"Well..."
Chen Lun held his chin in his hands and pondered.
"It seems that every time you enter the 'Wonderland', the surrounding dangers will be different. I didn't encounter this kind of spider silk last time... Will it be reset?"
He raised an eyebrow.
"And...their deaths will be blamed on me!"
Chen Lun looked at the prompt box and showed a strange smile.
[You killed players Polar Star, Su Keying, Centaur, Doghead Gold and Forgotten Wuji! Get 500 experience points and 2 attribute points! 】
"Is it because I am the owner of the 'Wonderland'? So if they die in it, I can also get the kill reward..."
Chen Lun thought.
"Players farm monsters to level up, I farm players to level up...?"
When he went to save the Pompeii family, he used a flintlock to kill three Centaur guild players. The prompt box at that time inspired him, and now it has been verified again.
"Originally I planned to wait until the open beta before trying it, but now it seems that it is indeed the case... And with "Philip in Wonderland", I don't have to kill them one by one, which is tiring and easy to attract hatred.
As long as ‘Wonderland’ is built into an ‘advanced copy’ of the future team and attracts players to come... If they die here, their heads will be counted on me, and they must be grateful to me. ”
Chen Lun shook his head, feeling a little pity.
Because when he sent five players into Wonderland just now, he felt a little pressure. It seems that due to his own sequence, the current control of "Wonderland" is not complete enough.
He had a vague intuition that at this stage, the number of players he could accommodate in "Wonderland" was around ten. Beyond this number, he would no longer be able to control some switches freely.
"So the strategy will have to change at that time..."
Chen Lun thought about it in his mind, and after a while, he smiled.
"Since there are not many people, let's take the elite route and set the price of the 'Wonderland' tickets a little higher. This will not only screen out a group of the most powerful players, but also make them cherish the opportunity to enter..." < br>
The more Chen Lun thought about it, the more feasible it became.
"Only the best players are qualified to explore the path for me."
He had already had this idea, because it was too inefficient to explore the vast and dangerous "Wonderland" by himself. He didn't want to be like Philip and never see the end in his life.
There are many talented and talented players in this group. They can definitely use their brains to find the right shortcuts for themselves, and they can also take advantage of their resurrection to get out of hidden minefields.
Then in the end, a clear strategy will be placed in front of Chen Lun.
"Of course the most important thing is that the Maggie statue will continuously drain their sanity... This efficiency is much higher than my own 'charging' of the statue!"
Chen Lun walked to the statue by the lake with a smile on his face.
He stretched out his fingers and gently touched the base, then sat casually on it, leaning against Maggie's tail and looking at the lake.
[Current stored sanity value: 28]
This is the rationality gained from Polar Star and his party. After excluding the losses of opening and maintaining the "Wonderland", all the surplus is stored.
"Come on, five foreign warriors..."
Chen Lun's gaze stared at the lake, through the sparkling light, and fell on the five figures in the dark forest.
Shasha...
The footsteps lightly stepped on the dead branches and leaves.
Polaris and his team moved very slowly, but the victory was steady, and there was no more inexplicable attrition.
They encountered two more "spider threads" along the way. Fortunately, all five of them were alert and discovered and avoided this deadly trap in time.
When he first discovered it, Polaris paused for a moment and took a closer look.
He found that this kind of "spider silk" was so fine and tough that when a leaf fell on it, it split into two halves without any sluggishness.
At that moment, the spider silk seemed to tremble slightly, like a high-frequency oscillating cutting line, which was very terrifying.
The five people did not dare to make a sound, and even their breathing was controlled at a controlled speed.
"——Although we won't be attacked this way, our sanity points are deducted too quickly. I already feel a little headache. I will go crazy after a while... I won't be able to go far."
The horse man sent a text message in the public chat.
"——I have an idea... We can let one person explore the road in front, as fast as possible. If he dies, we will know where the 'spider thread' is.
When the person exploring the path in front dies, the person behind will take the place of the next one, and the cycle repeats. In this way, our efficiency will be greatly improved. ”
Polaris expressed its thoughts.
Several people were silent for a few seconds, and Su Keying carefully sent a message:
"——Then who goes first?"
"..."
Everyone only has three chances to be resurrected, and they just wasted one of them. The person who explores the path next will most likely die first, so the time for this dungeon event will be drastically reduced.
"——I'll go first. You can allocate people to replace me later... Now is not the time to be selfish. Only by working together can we gain something."
The centaur took a deep breath, and after sending the text message, he walked out of the team and ran forward.
The others looked at each other, were silent for a moment, and quickly followed, but deliberately kept a distance from the centaur to avoid encountering the "spider thread" and having no time to react.
After running hundreds of meters like this, the centaur suddenly fell to the ground.
The people behind him could see clearly that his body was cut horizontally from the waist and turned into two parts, which immediately turned into white light and dissipated.
"——I'm dead, be careful...I'll be here soon."
The centaur sent a text message.
"——I will be next. Brother Polaris is experienced, let him stay at the end."
Perhaps it was Arima who took the lead, and Wang Wuji volunteered to take over.
After they avoided the "spider thread" at the place where the centaur died, Forgotten Wuji began to sprint. In this way, after several cycles, everyone died once.
However, the players have already pushed the route a long distance away. They are full of confidence and use this method again to explore the path forward.
Another round later, this time only Polaris was left.
"——I have walked a long way. It seems that this place is out of the scope of the 'spider thread' and there is no danger."
He sent a message in the public chat.
"——Great! We are finally out of the 'spider silk' area... We have already met at the back and are approaching you."
Su Keying replied.
Polaris took a deep breath and took steps forward.
He had previously participated in a gang fight in Xia Shuitan, an outer city area, and reached level 10, but due to these two deaths, he dropped back to level 8.
So far, there has been no substantial gain, which makes him a little depressed.
"I hope I can gain something next time..."
Soon, he felt that his field of vision suddenly became wider, and a small pool appeared in the woods ahead. In the middle of the pool, there is a small piece of land with an old wooden box placed on it.
In this scene, two words immediately popped into Polaris' mind - "trap".
He has countless game experiences, but he has never seen this kind of scene.
He stopped, stood far away from the pool, and then posted what he saw and heard in the public chat.
"——Treasure chest? Pool? This must be a trap..."
the centaur replied.
"——Polaris, just wait for us, we'll be there soon."
At this moment, Polaris started to have a splitting headache. He opened the panel and checked, and found that his sanity had dropped below half.
He endured the pain and struggled to send the message.
"——Hurry up, we don't have much time!" Thanks to Cai Xiaoqia for the reward of 5 tickets with 5000 points, Xiaoshi with 1500 points for the reward, Yu Yuan said with 500 points for the reward, his eyes were hurt by the fireworks, and he was envious of Lin Yuan fish It’s better to retreat and make a net, Wei Xiao, Chun Ming Ten Disasters, How to Get Fat Four 13125, Book Friends 20220527125919781’s rewards, all the beauties’ rewards and monthly tickets~
