Chapter 300 Even the dogs won’t go
The sun sets in the west and the sky becomes dark.

Xiao Yu walked through the deserted countryside, walked through rugged mountain roads, and came to a cave hidden in dense woods.

This cave made of cement is almost three meters high. There is a thick black iron door closed at the entrance. After countless years of baptism, the cement has become a little yellow. This iron door has been specially treated. But there is no trace of aging at all.

This is the shelter he built himself after his rebirth. By delaying the payment period, he renovated this abandoned air-raid shelter and installed this one-meter-thick iron door as his base for rest.

There was no way, although it was very safe to be protected by sect NPCs in the city, but based on the experience of his previous life, Xiao Yu still felt that the outdoors was safer and more comfortable.

There is no other reason, because in many cases, humans are more terrifying than monsters in the wild.

He is familiar with the changes in the world structure in the future. In the past, large companies in the world would pool all life points to invest in games, thereby establishing large-scale regional game guilds, and then cooperate with those sect guardian NPCs to rely on life points and monopolize games. The output of high-end items has taken over the dominance of most cities.

In every city, almost all adult players will be taken into the guild and become slaves who contribute resources in exchange for basic food and clothing.

Moreover, as time goes by, their control over the city will only become stronger and stronger, and they will find you even if you are hiding in the sewers.

Although this period of time when the heroes came together was not too long, and they were severely damaged when the monsters attacked the city, and completely collapsed after the demon king came to the world, it still lasted for a full ten years. This period of time has a lot of In order to compete for territory, some large company unions in the city organized killings in reality, and tens of millions of people have died.

The air-raid shelter was not that big. After walking through rows of shelves filled with various cans and water, Xiao Yu came to his bedroom within a dozen meters. He simply poured a bottle of water, wiped his face, and sat in front of the computer.

The matter of the time and space rift troubled him very much. Regardless of the exhaustion from fighting monsters all day long, he started browsing in various commonly used game forums.

Xiao Yu didn't want to be a slave, nor did he want to work for others, nor did he want to be involved in those bad things, so he chose to leave the city and live in the wild.

This is a satellite computer he specially purchased. It can use the low-Earth orbit satellite system to access the Internet. Although the speed is a bit slow and there may be some lag when watching online videos, it is not a problem to log in to the website forum and view messages.

The game was updated, and the space-time rift appeared. It was almost two o'clock in the morning, more than ten hours ago. Since the rewards were attractive enough, many players had already entered the space-time rift to explore.

Anyway, you can enter the game anywhere, and the food in the game can be redeemed in reality at any time. Survival in the wild is not impossible.

Unfortunately, after reading the posts for a while, the news Xiao Yu got was not good.

Most of the players who were the first to enter the exploration failed to come back, and after entering, all the communication systems and communication capabilities, even the flying sword in the later stage of Jindan, could not deliver the message, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Fortunately, some lucky people still escaped and generously delivered some news.

Unfortunately, most of this news is bad news for Xiao Yu. First of all, it is very troublesome that mana cannot be restored naturally: no matter which sect a player chooses or which skill system he learns, mana is consumed when releasing skills. Small skills consume less, and big moves consume less. That’s all.

The recovery of mana in the game basically depends on the natural recovery of mana. This natural recovery is related to the exercises that everyone practices. The higher the level of the exercises, the faster the recovery speed. Of course, different types of exercises have different speeds. The same, for example, the recovery speed of Dharma Cultivation is much faster than that of Sword Cultivation.

There are naturally some elixirs for restoring mana, but generally speaking, they will only be used in some high-difficulty guides. When fighting BOSS, you need to amplify the damage of the moves at a high frequency.

After all, elixirs also consume materials to make, and each pill also requires a long life. For example, the recovery pill of the golden elixir stage takes about 90 to 100 minutes to make. It is still very expensive. No matter how long the lifespan is, it will not be worth it. Keep smoking.

This inability to restore mana has an even greater impact on Xiao Yu. He did not join the top ten sects. He inherited the inheritance of the hidden NPC Five Elements Immortal and practiced the top skills he knew in the game. A kind of magic practice that restores mana very quickly.

However, the Five Elements Disk he is using now is an immortal weapon that can grow. Although the skills released are powerful, according to the fact that the Five Elements are mutually reinforcing and incompatible, two or three skills can often kill a small BOSS, but the mana consumed is also very high. , without natural recovery, just by taking drugs, the frequency of his skill release will be greatly reduced, and his combat effectiveness will be doubled!

With such a weakening, it would be considered good to be able to achieve 20% or 30% of his strength.

Looking at other posts, the news there is even worse. Most of the time and space over there are guarded by people. Those guardians are all very capable of fighting. Often a large team of ten or even twenty-five people can fight. Can't beat a guardian.

It is said that the skills released by these guardians do not have any CD, and the same skills can be released continuously without any interval, and the power is extremely powerful. Even the strongest MT in the current version, the Dharmaxiang Monk of the Vajra Temple with a full set of meat suits, cannot withstand a few hits. The dharma body will be broken.

In addition, according to survivors, these guardians often do not choose to kill people directly, but use a binding spell to imprison and arrest people. There is no forced escape equipment or props, almost Can't break free.

It is foreseeable that those players who are caught will not have an easy time.

In Xiao Yu's opinion, being caught is more terrifying than dying! If you die, you will be done with it. If you are caught, you don't know what kind of torture you will face.

Even if there is no torture, just being locked up, he can't stand it! Being locked up, you can't fight monsters, you can't increase your strength, and you probably can't even log in to the game. So even if you are released in the future, how much behind other players will your progress be?
I had such a great opportunity to be reborn, how could I waste it like this?
After reading a few more posts, Xiao Yu made up his mind. Whoever wants to explore time and space will go there, and he will not go there even if he kills himself!
It is better to follow the previous plan and become stronger steadily. Those rewards look charming, but I have the skills and magic weapons, and there is no shortage of them. There is no need to take this risk.

Suddenly, a new post was upvoted on the forum:

"We caught the aliens!" 》

When I clicked on it, I saw that a Jindan team was preparing to explore time and space when they spotted a weird-looking person wearing a weird robe teleported from the other side. Then they swarmed up and caught the person.

Judging from their introduction, the man was eventually taken away by a nearby sect guardian NPC, and each of their team was given 1000 exploration points, which made a bunch of players envious.
