Chapter 362. The Biggest Snitch In History
Hearing Moonlight's question, Char turned around.
"If there are only forty or fifty of you, I can take you in, but there are so many of you... Or you can just bring them back 'dead'," He said with a smile.
Moonlight frowned.
He understood what Char meant.
He was not like Mount Meru, who did not know how to lead a group. Although he was so arrogant now, he was not really stupid enough to lead so many people to fight the demonic creatures.
What he needed to do was to take them to the place that Char had mentioned and the others had confirmed its existence. The ruins that had many missions and was slowly being rebuilt.
When the person was brought here, his mission would be completed. At that time, this sense of existence could be saved. Otherwise, it would be a waste.
Without a doubt, the fastest way was to die. However, he obviously could not do that.
Now, he was a warrior in the eyes of the players, not a comedian. If he could not satisfy the wishes of his supporters behind him, then the support he had just gained would be nothing more than an illusion.
"I remember you said Apacha is very close to that place, right?" He asked.
"It's like this, he's only a wall away from there. I came through a small hole, but can you make so many people line up to come through the dog hole?" Char explained.
Moonlight thought for a moment, then took out the route he had deduced from the pile of maps and found that it was a continuous downward path, and then it was blocked by a wall.
"Is this the place?" He pointed at the map and asked.
"It's nearby, down there."
"This floor... It's not thick, right?" Moonlight asked.
"You want them to blast it open?" Char raised an eyebrow.
"Of course."
In fact, it was not surprising for moonlight to have such an idea. In "Fantasy World", it was common for players to interact with the environment. Not to mention dungeons, which could reset at any time, even though the self-healing ability of the wild was very strong, it was also possible to determine which areas were densely populated by players and which areas were uninhabited from the distribution of plants on the ground. These were all discovered by stepping on the ground, and some gathering experts were well-versed in this.
On this basis, the players did a lot of things like opening mountains and filling lakes.
"What, can't I?" Moonlight asked.
"No, of course you can." He shook his head and said, "I just think... This isn't the right way to play."
Moonlight was stunned for a moment before he laughed in disdain.
Eddie had been categorized into the group of people who only knew how to play games and were suspected to have game cleanliness. In his opinion, these people were mostly masochists who brought it on themselves. Why did they have to work so hard?
However, this way, he was even more convinced that this path would work.
Half a day later, the group had completed the path. They did not encounter many monsters along the way. Firstly, the performance of Mandela's people was too dazzling, so Zin'rokh had changed the distribution of the monsters. Secondly, Char had also tried to bring them to the author's passage as much as possible. This caused the Moonlight ripples to expand, and they believed Char's words more and more.
Finally, they arrived in front of the so-called dog hole.
This was a gourd-shaped area like the upper valley. The surrounding mountains were not steep, but in the darkness, they looked like wild beasts.
After the floating light source illuminated the ground, one could clearly see the clear boundary.
The original soil in the ruins was gray, as if the bones had been eroded and dyed white, but behind the dividing line was a fertile black.
At the same time, this was also the lowest depression since they entered the ruins. It was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the black soil was at the bottom of the depression.
One could almost imagine how much space would be revealed after breaking through the bottom cover, which would be convenient for them to enter and exit.
"This is the place..."
Moonlight muttered.
He had originally wanted to find someone to confirm the location of the dog hole, but it was no longer necessary.
This was the position on the map where both he and Mount Meru could see the key point at a glance. At that time, Apacha was curled up in the corner, surrounded by monsters that dared not enter. Then, he and Mount Meru found the basin of what seemed to be holy water.
"We're going to break through the floor here and reach the ruins!"
He ordered everyone.
"Isn't this too reckless? What if our movements attract the monsters?" Someone asked.
"That's right. There are so many people. It's a problem to separate them..."
"Is this really the right spot?"
"Won't the monsters outside attack us if we break through?"
There were endless doubts, and Moonlight was also a little angry.
"Believe me, everyone. If it weren't for me, you would still be working for free under the control of the people of Mandela! Do you still not understand? The monsters at the entrance of this ruins are so intelligent that they were not designed for us. Our mission is to pass through them and then reach the ruins. By completing the mission, we can improve the power of this city and fight back against the monsters outside with the NPCs in the city, understand?"
Everyone was convinced by his analysis, and even Char listened with great interest.
He was quite plausible.
The voices of opposition weakened, mainly because there was only one way left.
The teams were quickly divided. According to the attributes on the interface, the melee with the highest damage output were selected. The ranged players climbed up high and went to the surrounding stands, as if they were a group of spectators in a colosseum.
The rest of the people stayed outside to be on guard.
As soon as the first explosive arrow was fired, the tens of thousands of players began to attack the black soil in the center of the marshland.
Soon, the melee players realized the difficulty of the mission. In the game where friendly fire could not be turned off, the ranged players only needed to cast their skills on the floor, but they had to walk through the rain of bullets, explosions, and steam. It was a terrible experience. Therefore, this group of frontline players left one after another after throwing a few skills, retreating to the periphery to fish.
As a result, no one was able to get first-hand information about the focus point. Naturally, no one noticed that after the skills hit and the soil flew, a strange rock shell was gradually revealed.
Previously, the long-range attackers had some concerns, but now that their teammates had left, they were completely free. They threw their skills faster and faster, and the marsh was soon completely surrounded by explosions and thick smoke.
The ground was also sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. It seemed that it would not take long for them to dig through the ground and reach the ruins underground.
Moonlight's face was filled with joy.
However, as time passed, a surprised voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.
"I think I hit something?"
"Me too."
"Did you hit an ally?"
"Could it be an NPC from the underground?"
Everyone was shocked, but because the scene was shrouded in thick smoke and there were no melee players nearby, no one knew what was in the ground.
The movements of the players slowed down...
Then, the sentries outside swarmed in, dispersed the thick smoke, and carefully moved forward.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently!
The ground outside the smoke cracked and sank at a speed visible to the naked eye. The players standing on the surrounding mountains also felt the violent shaking under their feet.
Some of them lost their balance and fell head first into the dust. Half a second later, there was no more news.
He...
He was dead?
This scene made everyone's heart turn cold!
This was definitely not because he had fallen to his death! It was impossible for a player above level 30 to fall to his death so easily... There was a monster down there?
The fear of the unknown quickly spread, and the players fled in a panic, but they were squeezed together at the narrow exit.
This was originally a group of mobs that had been temporarily put together, and they might not even win a war if it went smoothly. Now that a natural disaster had suddenly occurred, they were instantly defeated.
Moonlight's expression had crumbled from the beginning, so there was no hope that he would give any command.
However, at this critical juncture, his mind was particularly clear. Unfortunately, this clarity had nothing to do with the dangerous situation, but that he suddenly remembered something.
Memories emerged like a running horse lamp, from his inflated ego not long ago, to the defeat of the people of Mandela, to the pride of plotting against Mount Meru, to the other rhythm he had led in the past, to the people he had wantonly bullied, all of these scenes played out...
Suddenly, his gaze fell on Char's back, and it suddenly became one with a certain memory from when the server opened.
It was him?
Moonlight's eyes widened.
"You've discovered it?"
It was as if CHar had eyes on the back of his head. He turned around and smiled. "Didn't I say that players should have the awareness of being cannon fodder?"
"It's you indeed!"
Moonlight remembered. He remembered everything!
The boss of the newbie village, the one who caused him to be killed by the mutated monsters in the rotten forest, and the so-called boss who did not dare to log into the game for three days!
Why did he change his name?
What was his name back then?
It seemed to be...
Char?
Char... You schemed against me?
Moonlight through the situation in an instant. He calmed down and wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he found a reasonable excuse for everything and hated the person in front of him more than ever.
This person was clearly here to scheme against him!
"I swear, you will regret this."
He laughed nastily.
Before Char could react, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled even more violently. Then, something broke out of the ground, and a quarter of the team of more than ten thousand people was wiped out in the blink of an eye!
In the darkness, one could only smell the thick stench of blood, as well as the burning stench that was approaching from top to bottom.
"Hiss..."
An ear-piercing scream was heard, and someone turned around and used a strong light to illuminate the thing-
It was a ferocious-looking monster. Its huge mouthpart was filled with fine broken teeth, which were sunken in in circles. It looked particularly terrifying. The snake-shaped body was covered in thick rock layers, covered with energy radiance such as flames, arcane spells, and ice left behind by the group's attacks. There were also arrows that had not exploded in time...
However, it was just too damn big!
When the strong light shone over, it was as if they saw the sky collapse!
Boom!!!
With a fierce slam on the floor, another quarter of the players were killed.
This thing's body was too long, and only a part of its head had broken out of the ground. Even so, it could only fill up the entire Valley. It just used a skill in the valley and killed most of the players
This included the Moonlight that he could not avoid in time.
Char quickly activated [Shadow Travel] to escape, but the others were not so lucky. Only a few people who were hiding in the corner were not affected and survived.
Half of the nightmares of the men came from it, such as earthquakes, the howling of the mountains and the sea in their dreams, and the devouring of all things... It was all because of this bug. This guy's size was even more exaggerated than Mayenne's, and it was also beyond the level that players could fight against. To fight it head-on, one had to be in the true meaning of Eve (environment against environment).
It was indeed in a sleeping state and could not participate in the battle, but this did not mean that it would not fight back. The unscrupulous attacks of the players happened to wake it up. Although it was only from a light sleep, it was enough.
After getting rid of most of the annoying bugs, the first born was no longer angry and went back to sleep underground.
The ground was devastated, and the survivors slowly walked out of their panic. The first thing they did was to open the forum to see how their dead teammates were doing. However, they remembered that the forum could not be used in the city, so...
However, as soon as he opened the forum, he saw an endless stream of posts.
Without exception, all of them were pointing at one person...
"Moonlight?"
Mount Meru's red eyes flashed with a trace of shock.
Why did he suddenly start to criticize this person?
The team of Mandela was almost completely annihilated. Fortunately, everyone went to the new city called Lavosudeland, which was one of the few consoling things for him.
After that, the guild leader followed behind Moonlight and his party from a distance.
He did not know why he was following them. He just followed them like a walking corpse. Perhaps he wanted an answer, or a chance for revenge.
Although he knew that this kind of revenge was only based on his emotions and was meaningless.
However, this also allowed him to witness the scene from afar...
Unlike the players in the valley, what he saw was more spectacular to-certain extent-with the enhancement of the night vision equipment, he clearly saw that the entire Valley had sunk a layer, and smoke and dust were billowing around it. Then, a giant worm with-rock on its back crawled out of the valley, wriggled for a while-and then disappeared.
Without a doubt, the players in front suffered heavy casualties.
Then, he opened the forum and was shocked by what he saw.
An endless stream of scolding posts even covered the tens of thousands of stories high building, and almost everyone was condemning the Moonlight.
"What's going on? Shouldn't they have gone to Lavosudeland?"
Mount Meru opened a post.
[Is Moonlight really an idiot? You asked me to dig the floor, and not only did I dig out a monster that killed a whole bunch of them, but I also dug up Lavosudeland's reputation until it was in the negative. I'm resurrected in the church's graveyard more than 400 miles away, and I have almost 10000 people with me. Are you a traitor sent by Lavosudeland? I've been running around for nothing these few days?]
Mount Meru was stunned.
After players died, they would generally choose to resurrect nearby, including wild graveyards and resurrection points. However, as long as they were normal players, they would default to wild graveyards to ensure that the loss of death was minimized. It was not just a matter of losing one level, but also the extremely disgusting weak resurrection state.
The closest graveyard to this place was no doubt the graveyard of Lavosudeland, and the other one was the church's courier station a day's journey away. Due to the preconceived idea that they would be resurrected in ravoshudeland after death, most players chose to resurrect nearby after death without thinking...
Yet, he ended up at the resurrection point of the church?
However, why was this so?
Mount Meru frowned. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration...
Could it be because... reputation?
Right! If Lavosudeland had a hostile reputation with the church, then its resurrection point would naturally exclude players from the church...
Mount Meru was about to open other posts, but he was suddenly shocked by a post with the same title.
Moonlight - The Guardian of Lavosudeland. Repelling seven armies with a single post!
