……

Mourning desert.

The dim sun hangs high in the sky, emitting not bright light, making people drowsy.

Nearly a thousand players appeared one after another in the desert.

There are many spawn points for Dust Death Knell, and they are completely random. No one knows where they will be teleported.

If you are lucky, you can see the outline of the city, but if you are not lucky, there is endless yellow sand in all directions, and you can't even tell the direction.

"Get Lost" is the first difficulty of Dust Knell.

All player spawn points are in the desert, far away from the gathering places of human towns. This is one of the reasons why wasteland players regard "entering the city" as their primary goal. After all, if the towns are not important, there is no need to throw them away specifically. It's so far away and if there are no clues in the city, they will come out and deliver them themselves.

On the other hand, the town is also the only known safe zone.

There are dangers hidden everywhere in the desert, and they can only gather in towns.

Since there are too many towns and there are distances between each city, it is impossible for a thousand people to gather in one town in a short time. Therefore, before entering the capital, Nanhuan spent the whole night discussing with Lao Li Tou and others on a map he made based on intelligence. Eight towns were circled, each located on the periphery of the town cluster in eight different directions.

Whichever one is closest goes to whichever one.

Let's start with the gathering of wavelets. When hundreds of people encounter a single giant sandworm, it will be easier to fight.

This group is full of first-tier players—at least in terms of attributes, among the 280 main battle players, none of them has an attribute lower than [-], and they have all reached their full level.

The remaining support players, including cooks, medical staff, etc., also have average attributes of 220+.

They are fully prepared for this time, and their lineup is luxurious. If you pick anyone, they will be called boss by many people.

But, sometimes no amount of preparation will help.

Luck is important.

The starting time of Dust Knell is fixed at noon, the sun is directly overhead, it is difficult to determine the direction, and you cannot bring in a compass.

But as time goes by, the sun will slowly sink into the horizon, and at this time it will be relatively easy to distinguish between southeast and northwest.

So being far away from the city can only be said to be bad luck, not bad luck.

There are so many spawn points in Dust Knell, 99% of which are outside the active area of ​​giant sandworms. Theoretically speaking, as long as you can block your own breath, make no sound, and just stand still, it doesn't matter. It's safe.

Except for one place - Sandworm Basin.

This is a name chosen by players based on terrain features.

Just look at the word "sandworm" and you will know that it is no longer a question of whether it is far from the town.

After many calculations, this place is about two to three hundred kilometers away from the border, which is not too far, but it is in the middle of a pile of giant sandworms...

Assuming that the alert range of the giant sandworm is a circle, slightly overlapping each other, then this birth point is located outside the only one of these overlapping circles.

Not being in a circle is better than being in a circle.

Any movement will attract the attention of giant sandworms, who will swarm them and attack them.

The most terrible thing is that there are not only sandworms in the sandworm basin.

Based on the direction of the setting sun, there is an invisible city in the west of the basin.

No brick or tile can be seen during the day, and it only appears at night. If it accidentally hits the city wall or comes into contact with the city, it will immediately turn into dust.

I don't know what's in the city, and no one has ever entered it, but even in the best case, the city will not actively attack the players, which is equivalent to blocking them in one direction, further reducing the player's survival in the Sandworm Basin. space.

Because "invisibility" is not invisible in the ordinary sense, even if you wear anti-contact lenses, you can't see it. They can't determine the specific location of the city, so they can only stay away from the entire west direction.

Rather than simply being far away from human settlements, teleporting here at the beginning is the real unlucky person.

For example, Night Cat Han.

He entered the game while shouting "Come on, brothers", and then found that his birth point was in a "basin" surrounded by sand dunes, so Ye Maohan's voice stopped abruptly, and he fell into deep thought.

Did you buy a fake almanac?

After a few seconds, some more unlucky guys appeared.

Ye Maohan looked sideways, and saw that Old Li, who had just had breakfast offline with him, was also looking at him.

Ye Maohan: "..."

Old Li: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Bad news: The spawn point is in the Sandworm Basin, which players call the "restart point."

The good news: You’re not the only one with the same bad news.

At a rough count, there are more than 30.

Most of them are elderly middle-aged people, and you can tell at a glance that they are the mainstay of the Sunset Red Guild.

I don’t know if it counts as meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

"Lao Li, what's going on?" an old aunt asked with a frown.

Old Li Tou is the president of the Sunset Red Guild, and many members have met him. Some of them danced together in the square, and some enjoyed tea together on the third floor.

Old Li waited for a while, thought about it seriously, and replied, "Show it off."

Ye Maohan: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Are you starting to show off when you first join the school?

In fact, it's not that Lao Li wants to show it off, but he has no choice but to show it off.

He waited for a while before speaking, just to see if anyone else was coming.

If there were a few more top fighters like him and Ye Maohan, it would not be impossible for them to escape from the Sandworm Basin.

But no one came.

Not to mention top-level combat power, there is not even a logistics. A few minutes have passed, how many unlucky guys were there just now, and how many unlucky guys are still there now.

Almost all those who should have entered the capital have already entered the capital, and they can only rely on themselves.

But they themselves are unreliable.

Only these 30 or so people were completely exempt from beating.

Not even one bug can be solved, let alone a bunch of them?
For now, the only way to survive is to survive in the cracks of these giant sandworms. Gou Yibo, when the large army converges and finds that they are not there, it is easy to guess that they are trapped in the sandworm basin-this is also agreed in advance. If you can't get out, wait for rescue. If you can't, just use the loudspeaker to say something.

You can force your way out and fight your way out, but it's not necessary.

The blood in "Blood Road" is most likely their own blood.

Once a battle breaks out, there will inevitably be casualties. This is just the beginning, and everything is focused on preserving the strength of the team.

Yemao Han complained full of resentment: "What a broken copy."

He had been thinking about the death knell of dust for several years, and entered the book with great interest. As a result, he was imprisoned for a day and couldn't do anything. Isn't this a mental state?

"Let's all sit down and rest." Old Li Tou greeted everyone. He was open-minded. He took out a jar of wine and sat on the sand. He chuckled at Yemao Han and said, "Be content, at least. We were not found, if these bugs came out to breathe and saw us, it would be really fun."

The voice just fell.

"Wow!"

A sandworm emerged from the sand in the distance.

The piranha-like bloody mouth was facing the direction of Old Li's head.

One person and one insect looked at each other from afar.

Old Li: "?"

Ye Maohan: "??"

Everyone: "???"

Both sides were stunned for a moment, and then the giant sand insect roared, and the edges of its huge mouthparts were shaken by the sound wave.

"Roar!"

Hearing the calls of their companions, more giant sand worms emerged from the ground, like tall muddy buildings rising from the ground, one after another, surrounding Old Li Tou and others in the center of the basin like a cage.

Each adult giant sand insect is two to thirty meters long, and its shadow is projected onto the sand surface, making the already dim light even more dim.

Counting counterclockwise...there are 21!
Ye Maohan: "Grass!"

Is this a birdie?
The old aunt also yelled: "Damn old man, are you a crow's mouth!"

Old Li Tou was also a little dumbfounded.

He was just making a joke, but it turned out that the bug was real?

So many at once? ?

It stands to reason that the safety factor of their place is not low. It is similar to a "surveillance blind spot" and should not be discovered - even if it is discovered, it should not be discovered so quickly.The key is really that the sandworms came out to take a breath and happened to be looking in this direction. Are they so unlucky?

In fact, it is not that they are too unlucky, but that there are people who are more unlucky than them.

The birth point is randomly placed in the Sandworm Basin. This is already the worst start under normal circumstances. However, this is a terrible situation for ordinary players, and it is not enough to match someone's great luck, so a nine-death life becomes a ten-death situation. No life, no place to escape, no wings to fly.

21 adult sandworms, even if the summer cold comes, they will die.

It can be said that there is no chance of winning in a head-on team fight.

"puff."

The sandworms all plunged into the ground, like giant snakes lurking underground, swimming rapidly from all directions against the rolling gravel.

"Run!" Yimao Han made a quick decision, kicked his feet hard, and flew up, trying to take the empty road.

"Break through with all your strength!" Old Li Touye shouted, and his sword rushed in the opposite direction to Ye Maohan.

But how can it be so easy?
If you could simply fly alone and run away, many teams would not be wiped out by the group.

A sandworm suddenly emerged from the ground, bringing up a large amount of sand and dust. It opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of brown, smelly mucus, blocking Ye Maohan's path.

Ye Mao Han was forced to brake, and the giant tail of the sandworm had already swept over from the side. Ye Mao Han raised his arms to resist with all his strength, but was still slammed back to the ground with a "bang".

During the fall, he also forcibly controlled his body and did a backflip. He took out his sniper and shot the sandworm, which accurately hit the sandworm's mouthparts.

A handsome one.

But the damage is zero.

When Ye Maohan failed to break out, Lao Li was slapped on the head by his tail and fell next to Ye Maohan.

The sword energy that was like a rainbow was almost shaken away.

The third one who was beaten back was the old aunt.

She was not as resistant to beatings as Lao Li Tou and Ye Mao Han. She was hit by a sandworm and blood was already flowing from the corner of her mouth. Her hair was disheveled and she looked very embarrassed.

She got up and took a look, and saw that Lao Li hadn't escaped, which meant that no one could rush out to draw firepower to the people trapped inside and distract the sandworms. She couldn't help but feel anxious and angry: "You are not the Flower Wine Swordsman." ?"

Old Li Tou: "But it is a giant sand insect!"

While the two were talking, the remaining 30 or so players, led by another old man from the Sunset Red Guild, launched a wave of nearly perfect firepower.

It's a pity that the sandworm is too thick-skinned, and hitting it with dozens of skills only caused its thick body to bend back for a moment - this should have been a stiffening movement after being hit, but the sandworm seemed to be taking advantage of it. This charge was average, but it bounced back very counterintuitively, spraying out large amounts of wind-sand slime from its mouth, which in turn disrupted everyone's formation.

"Get away!" the old man shouted.

He dodges quite quickly, but not everyone has enough dexterity attributes.

Someone was too slow to dodge completely, and a bit of brown liquid stuck to his ankle. Suddenly, his entire leg turned into wind and sand, and he groaned in pain.

"What the hell is this bug doing?" cursed a man whose arms were covered with metal shells and had handguns on his wrists.

He is not from the Sunset Red Guild, but his personal combat prowess is no worse than theirs.

His prosthetic hand cannon was powerful enough to destroy a small aircraft, but when it hit Sandworm, it only burned a little bit of flesh, and the wound was still healing rapidly.

The fight is not as fast as others.

"Escape for your lives each," Old Li Tou said.

It's not that he wants to give up anyone. In the current situation, if they get together, they will all die neatly. It's better for everyone to show their talents and run away one by one.

There are 21 bugs and 38 of them. Even if you block one and the other, 17 people can survive.

"I'll set up my sword formation to stop you. You run to the east and don't look back." Old Li Tou's tone was unusually solemn.

Seeing that the sandworms were about to surround him, he was already considering whether to use resurrection later.

At this moment, the sky suddenly became overcast with clouds, blocking the sunlight.

A destructive aura came without warning and enveloped the entire Sandworm Basin in an instant.

"What is this?" Everyone's expressions changed drastically, thinking that the movement here attracted the attention of something more terrifying.

They could only run for their lives from just a bunch of bugs, but what about another BOSS?
As everyone knows, the more terrifying thing is yet to come.

A man descended from the sky, as if he were an emperor. His long hair and green shirt made Lao Li Tou and Ye Mao Han feel particularly familiar.

At the same time, there was a strong wind on the field.

Countless amounts of sand and dust were picked up by the wind, swaying, circling, and flowing upstream, forming a series of windy scrolls that connected the sky and the earth under everyone's eyes.

In the distance, there was a huge sandstorm rolling in and making a roaring noise.

The ground also began to tremble violently, making Lao Litou and the others unsteady and almost fell.

Almost instantly, everyone's vision was filled with yellow sand, and the wind and sand blew so much that they could hardly open their eyes.

In this extreme weather, the senses of the sandworms that have lived in the desert for a long time were even hindered, and they lost their targets for a while.

Old Li only felt his scalp go numb.

A thunderbolt from the clear sky + a tornado + a sandstorm + a huge earthquake with a physical sensation of level [-] or above. What kind of special effects is this at the level of the King of Hell? ?

"You go first."

Gu Chi pulled the trigger with a "bang", the bullet passed through the wind and sand, and hit the sand dunes a few kilometers away, bursting into a dark vortex, and the air in front of him also twisted, forming a portal, and then used the word spirit to send the Dozens of players gathered together like monsters and packed them up and sent them out.

"Roar!"

The 21 sandworms locked their target again, emerged from the ground, and swooped towards Gu Chi.

At the same time, the thunder clouds in the sky flashed a dazzling white light and thunder rolled.

The next second, Gu Chi disappeared from the spot.

"boom!"

Dozens of angry thunder suddenly fell down, densely packed like rain, all hitting the sandworm.

The giant sandworm, which had been set on fire by dozens of people before but did not suffer any substantial damage, suddenly exploded when it came into contact with the angry thunder. It was blown into pieces like flesh and bones. It was caught in the hurricane and became a wind and dragon roll. part.

Old Li Tou: "??!"

Ye Maohan: "??!"

Everyone's eyes widened, why is the thunder so powerful that it can even kill sandworms? ?
Gu Chi himself took a breath of cold sand.

The thunder of 9999+ misfortune is so terrifying.

"It seems like this tornado can't be touched either."

Gu Chi, who had escaped a catastrophe, did not stop. The sky thunder was gone for the time being, but there were still tornadoes and sandstorms, as well as the violently shaking and cracked ground.

Gu Chi's teleportation didn't stop for a moment.

Then everyone saw an extremely strange scene.

No matter how Gu Chi walked, those thick tornadoes were always following him.

Isn't this thing supposed to walk in a straight line? Why is it still turning?

What's even more outrageous is that the approaching sandstorm is also turning a corner.

Even because of Gu Chi's snake-like movement, Sandstorm also turned left and right and swayed repeatedly.

The trembling ground also followed Gu Chi's steps, as if there was an earthquake zone stuck to his feet.

Everyone: "???"

Is this reasonable?

"Not good." Old Li Tou reacted and found that Gu Chi was running closer and closer to the western part of the basin. He quickly shouted with all his strength: "Don't go that way, it's dangerous!!"

But a few kilometers away, Gu Chi's ears were filled with the sound of howling wind. Where could he hear it?
He is still teleporting to the west of the basin.

Nothing unusual was found.

Until earthquakes, tornadoes and sandstorms followed his path.

There was a crackling and booming sound, mixed with the sound of cracking, as if something was crushed and collapsed.

There was quite a lot of pouring and it lasted for a long time.

It feels like the building is falling apart.

There were a few wisps of black smoke in the wind and sand, drifting away with the wind.

Gu Chi was still running.

While running, a dungeon announcement suddenly popped up.

[The first phase goal "Destroy the Dark City" has been completed]

[Second phase target starts]

Old Li: "?"

Ye Maohan: "??"

Everyone: "???"

Players scattered everywhere: "????"

Gu Chi: "Huh?"
