It has been three Earth days since the closed beta of "Elf Kingdom", and 12 days have passed since the continent of Seggs.
Over time, more and more of the three hundred players were promoted to level 10.
So does Demacia.
As early as a day ago, he had become a level 10 power player.
However, the experience required to advance from level 10 to level 11 is far beyond the players' imagination, and it takes a full 10,000 points.
And from level 9 to level 10, it is only 3000 points.
After these days of familiarity, the method of gaining experience in "Elf Kingdom" has also been explored by players.
For now, in conclusion, it is nothing more than two kinds, either doing tasks or cutting monsters to upgrade like other games.
Unlike other games, the special effects of this game after killing monsters are quite realistic, and the bloody level makes people wonder how this game can pass the trial. At the beginning, many players were not used to it, but after a long time, they became numb...
After all, it is the most realistic virtual game! Anyway, if you are not used to it, you can also choose to make a mosaic of the bloody pictures in the field of vision in the game system.
After being promoted to level 9, players were divided into two factions regarding the promotion.
Some relatively conservative players, such as Cuckoo Bird, who chose to stay in the camp and planned to continue to relying on completing tasks to advance to Black Iron.
On the other hand, some aggressive players who couldn't wait, have taken the risk and chose to leave the ten-kilometer safe area and try their luck outside.
Chopping down trees or killing monsters will gain some experience points, but the creatures in the safe area are too weak, and the experience gained is also pitiful, far less than the task.
Therefore, some players suggested that after the strength is almost the same, try outside the safe zone, and maybe be able to find powerful monsters that can provide a lot of experience.
And some players choose to leave the safe zone after level 9, explore the dark area, and try their luck to see if they can find those monsters that can provide experience.
Facts have proved that their choice is not wrong. On the same day, a player named "Bento" led a team to encounter a level 9 forest python outside the safe area. After several people worked together to kill it, they gained a lot of experience points.
After the incident reached the camp, it caused quite a stir, and many players were moved.
Several players who originally planned to advance to level 11 by doing quests even directly joined those daring pioneers.
However, the vast majority of people still choose to follow the system's novice guidance and safely rely on tasks to advance.
After all, as you get higher and higher, the game's death penalty also gets higher. No one wants to accidentally go back to before liberation overnight and start from scratch again.
In fact, the resurrection mechanism of this god difficulty has already made some players resentful, and I don't know how many times they have complained on the official forum... Eve is also considering making improvements.
In addition, even if the mosaic is played, the bloody picture of killing monsters makes some players uncomfortable. Therefore, there are still a small number of players who finally choose to take risks, and most of them are men.
Demacia was interested in exploration. He died a few times before level 5, and he fought his life to recover. At this moment, Li Mu and Cuckoo Bird were already sprinting for the black iron!
He didn't want to be left too far by Brother Mu, so he finally chose to take the risk and pulled in three other level 10 male players who were going to try their luck.
Four people, three power systems, and one spellcasting system, decided to leave the safe area together to explore the dark area.
...
As they left the safe zone, the vegetation in the Elf Forest became more and more lush, and it became more and more difficult to travel.
Demacia walked in the forest, using her weapon to split a path, while watching the surroundings vigilantly, looking for possible monsters.
"Is there too many plants? It's hard to go."
"After all, its a primeval forest."
"Brother Demacia, is your information reliable? Are there really forest pythons here?"
"Don't worry! Absolutely! The news I bought with a sun cedar from 'Bento', he saw it with his own eyes."
Listening to the teammate's question, Demacia patted his chest and assured.
At present, the materials are not full, so the currency system of the Elf Kingdom has not been established, and players can only barter. However, Eve has designed a contribution system to replace currency, which will be officially opened after the player is level 11.
"I see!"
After listening to Demacia's explanation, several players felt a lot more at ease.
The group moved on.
And hundreds of meters away from Demacia and the others, a pair of big, piercing eyes were watching everything.
It was the oak guard Berserker.
Berserker hid in the crevice of the ancient wood, observing several players, while he was holding a shivering goblin in his hand...
This goblin was caught by him at the edge of the emerald ruins. He had a level 10 strength, but he had already beaten him half to death.
While holding the goblins like a chicken, Berserker followed the movements of several players.
Demacia and the others didn't notice the prying eyes, and they were still chatting in a low voice as they moved forward.
"How far have we gone?"
"It's almost seven kilometers away from the safe zone."
"Shh, keep your voice down, this is not a safe area, and it would be miserable if you encounter a black iron-level monster."
Suddenly, Demacia, who was walking at the front, changed his expression, and his pointed ears moved slightly.
I saw him stretch out his hand and make a booing action, and then whispered to his teammates:
"Quiet! I seem to hear something!"
The tone suppressed the faint excitement.
The team suddenly quieted down, and several people immediately raised their spirits.
They lowered their bodies, holding their breaths at the same time, and looked around with wide eyes.
"Yeah yah!"
Suddenly, a sharp and miserable voice came from the front, which startled a bird.
A few people's hearts tightened, and they quickly drew out their weapons.
"Yeah!"
The screams got closer and closer, with a hint of madness.
A few people were tense, and quickly put on a fighting posture, their hearts pounding.
"It's ahead..."
Demacia said solemnly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the bushes in front of him suddenly clatter, and a thin green-skinned creature rushed out.
This creature was wearing tattered clothes, with a ferocious expression and bloodshot eyes, and rushed towards several people in a frenzy.
"Brother... Goblins?!"
Several people shouted in unison.
The only caster cast an identification spell, and then his eyes lit up:
"Level 10! But there seems to be an injury!"
"It has no weapons!"
"Okay... so fierce! Isn't it afraid of us?"
A flash of excitement flashed in Demacia's eyes. He waved his sword and said excitedly:
"Never mind! It's a door-to-door experience! Done!"
"Pick it up!"
"Don't let it run away!"
Several others also shouted.
After that, several people shouted "Wow" and slashed at the goblins with wooden knives.
However, what surprised a few people was that this goblin didn't even hide, and slammed into it so abruptly, blood overflowing, and he died in a sword...
At the last moment, a trace of relief flashed in its eyes.
The hidden war sacrifice was slowly activated, and the goblin's body instantly aged and turned to fly ashes in a blink of an eye.
At the same time, there was also news that the experience had been credited to the system of the four players.
But at this moment, the four players were a little stunned.
"It...why doesn't it hide?"
"Why do I feel like it's looking for death..."
"I feel the same way, as if someone is chasing it behind..."
"Ouch...you pull me, I'm a little dizzy..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Wait, what is this?"
Suddenly, a player crouched down and groped for a shiny crystal from the ashes that the goblins turned into.
It was an irregular pale green crystal that seemed to contain a mysterious power.
"Huh? Drops?"
"Is it some kind of gem?"
"Let me identify... eh? Unable to identify. Could it be some kind of quest item?"
The players were a little excited and a little confused.
At this moment, the bushes in front moved again, and a huge figure enveloped the four of them.
Berserker walked out of the woods and came to the front of several people.
Looking at the oak guard that suddenly emerged, more than 30 meters high, several players swallowed their saliva in unison...
"Fuck! What is this?"
"Tree man?"
"Good... so big..."
Demacia thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"It's the Oak Guard! We've met the Oak Guard!"
"Oak Guard? Is that the rare NPC that Big Bro Mu mentioned?"
"That's right! It must be him! I've seen screenshots of him!"
After finishing speaking, Demacia suddenly realized:
"No wonder the goblin ran desperately, it must be the oak guard chasing it..."
After he finished speaking, he had another meal...
and many more...
Wouldn't this group of people rob the Oak Guard's prey?
The other players also thought of this. They looked at each other, and then raised their heads cautiously, ready to run away at any time.
They already know that the NPCs in this game cannot be measured by the experience of other games. The NPCs here also have joys, sorrows and sorrows. Although the Oak Guards are also natural camps, they have never dealt with each other...
In case, it is a violent temper...
Anyway, looking at the 30-meter-tall man and his hideous appearance, several people were a little cowardly.
This big guy doesn't seem like a mess...
However, next, the performance of the Oak Guard made them stunned.
I saw the giant tree man with a height of 30 meters suddenly stopped, bowed slightly to several people, stretched out his hand and drew a natural symbol on his chest, and said solemnly like an old gentleman:
"Honored Chosen One, thank you for destroying this evil thief for me. To express my gratitude, I can fulfill a proper request from you."
A few people, look at me, I look at you, and it seems that they haven't recovered from the conversation with the oak guard.
"Thief?"
"Could it be the gem?"
"A request?"
Suddenly, Demacia was refreshed, and seemed to understand something.
I saw him slap his thigh and said:
"You guys are stupid...! Hidden quest, it must be a hidden quest! We must have hit a hidden plot!"
