Chapter 18 Future Crisis
The weapon spirit Meteor Vein chosen by Li Tie spread among the players.
During this period, some players followed Li Tie's footsteps to the Artifact Spirit Valley, and also wanted to take in the Yuanchu Artifact 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 Weapon Spirit hunting level becomes and the cooler their shapes become.
Several teams failed after multiple attempts.
Li Tie was no exception. After taking in the five artifact spirits, he did not choose to continue deeper into the artifact spirit valley.
In addition to the five weapon spirits at the entrance to the weapon spirit valley, the weapon spirits inside have a minimum hunting level of 30. He can't even withstand a single blow, so there is no point in continuing to challenge.
The emergence of Qi Lingliu has allowed many players to find the direction of their next efforts.
……
Tizuka Village, Underground
Qi Sheng sat cross-legged on the altar of Yuanchu, and his mind quickly ran through the network data information fed back by the guidance.
At this moment, the elusive guiding water polo suddenly appeared:
[Boss, I feel the aura of the black tide on the earth. 】
"Where?"
[North Pole direction. 】
"Go and have a look and inform Uncle Yan."
[Okay, let’s go now! 】
The guiding water ball disappeared into the invisible at this time.
Not long after, a cold voice came:
"Xiao Qi, I'm here."
A light screen projection scene appeared in front of Qi Sheng's eyes. The picture showed a room with simple decoration. There was a faint blue flame burning on the round table in the room, and sitting next to it was a man with an extraordinary temperament.
He has long black hair, pale skin, and a delicate tie that outlines a perfect neckline, but his handsome face has no expression.
Mysterious and noble, this was the thought that came to Qi Sheng's mind when he met Yan Ming for the first time.
The man in the projected picture in front of him is Yan Ming, one of the four great servants of Emperor Zhao, who controls the power of space.
He completed the space guidance part of the Challenger system (player recruitment system), and the guidance is responsible for the digitization and content analysis part.
In the head-on confrontation with the terrifying black tide, Yan Ming lost most of his vitality. Since then, he has been nothing more than a puppet, looking extremely indifferent.
Qi Sheng is used to this.
Had Yan Ming and other family members not fought desperately to save him, he would have died in the black mist of fear.
This time, the guide was asked to inform Yan Ming because he was unable to carry out ultra-long-distance space teleportation and needed Yan Ming's help.
"Uncle Yan, I'm sorry." Qi Sheng nodded politely.
"Be prepared."
After Yan Ming finished speaking, his pupils emitted an icy blue shimmer, and a rotating blue teleportation formation appeared under Qi Sheng's feet.
A strong feeling of weightlessness followed.
boom!
The faint blue flames enveloped his body and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When the blue brilliance that blocked the sight dissipated, what came into view was the flying snow in the sky. Looking around, there was an expanse of pure white, with glaciers covering the vast land and connecting with the blue sky in the distance, forming a pure and magnificent picture.
Biting cold winds met in the air, making a shrill whistling sound in my ears.
The ambient temperature dropped sharply, making Qi Sheng couldn't help but shiver. At this moment, he decisively switched to the Emperor's Omen form.
boom!
Scarlet flames spread from his head to his whole body, and the chill dissipated.
At this point he flew into the sky, moving in the direction provided by his guiding sense.
A few minutes later, he saw a black line hanging high in the sky. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and suddenly the black line extended many small black tentacles to wrap around his palm.
But under the calcining of the Emperor's Omen fire, the tentacles instantly collapsed.
This discovery made Qi Sheng realize the seriousness of the problem.
His former home is suffering from the corrosive invasion of the terrifying black tide. Different from the monster world, the terrifying black tide's erosion of the earth is still in its initial stage and will not have 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 left, many alien forces have appeared on the earth, and their appearance may be related to the terrifying black tide.
He saw such a discussion thread on the Internet a few days ago.
The content of the discussion is why the virtual game "Dark Land" has a limited release and purchase qualifications.
It stands to reason that the virtual servers created by the Lunar Eclipse Tribe can host a huge group of players, but a limited number is always distributed to the Human Federation and other alien forces stationed on the earth.
If it is hunger marketing, it is not reasonable.
Although the Lunar Eclipse clan uses currency to purchase resources from other racial forces, they mostly give away technologies and resources to various clans.
Some people have made statistics and found that the resources provided by the Lunar Eclipse tribe to foreign tribes every year are far greater than the consumption of resources purchased from foreign tribes.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In response to this question, the poster gave a guess.
He believes that the essence of the Lunar Eclipse clan's creation of virtual games is not to earn resources from other clans through games, but to train their troops in a near-realistic virtual environment in order to deal with some kind of huge crisis that may come.
As for the qualification to release the game to other races, it is only incidental and serves as a training partner.
In the virtual games usually developed by the Lunar Eclipse clan, the Lunar Eclipse clan is in one camp, and other races unite into one camp to start a confrontation.
Therefore, military training is the main purpose, and it must first serve the Lunar Eclipse clan.
There is one thing that can confirm this guess.
According to historical records, when the Lunar Eclipse tribe fled to Earth three hundred years ago, they said that the world they were in was eroded by some mysterious force, causing the world to collapse and shatter.
Under the doomsday crisis, the Lunar Eclipse clan finally gave up resistance. The remaining clan members used space technology to escape to Earth before the world collapsed, and finally built the Lunar 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.
The doomsday crisis that hit the Lunar Eclipse clan's former home world was probably the invasion of the Black Tide. The years of fighting against the Black Tide brought the Lunar Eclipse civilization from its peak to decline. Other alien forces also had similar experiences.
Now the earth also has initial signs of the terrifying black tide invasion.
This confirms the speculation in the discussion thread that the Lunar Eclipse clan is training their troops to deal with unknown terrors.
There is another point that supports his conclusion.
The area of the monster world is expanding, and the landscape environment is constantly changing.
He originally thought it was some unknown change brought about by the erosion of the black tide, but now he thinks it is probably the terrifying black tide swallowing up other worlds and integrating 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 the "map" in the game function has a fog of exploration.
It's not that he doesn't want to give players a complete world map, but that the landscape of the monster world has changed too much, and 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.
"Let's move forward steadily, at least at this stage there will be no impact."
[Boss, I have a doubt. 】
"Ask."
[If the world enters the climax of the invasion of the terrifying black tide, and evil spirits are rampant, what will you do? 】
"When that day comes, maybe I will give players the authority to bring the power of the monster world back to reality, and at least ensure their safety in the real world... But before that, I will not reveal any information."
< br>
【Why? 】
"Players without real-life pressure can feel happy in the monster world and enjoy the game process, and happiness is the root of their fearlessness and creativity."
