A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

There is no doubt that among these new cards are [Dragon Engine], [Astronomical Engine], and [Raging Beast] from the Phyrexia space and time, as well as [Magic Heavy Cannon], [Large Scale] from Dominaria. Ornithopter] and various [constructs] of different sizes and shapes completely opened the door to the combination of magic and technology for Zuo Si.

As for [Shining Oil]...

He doesn't intend to do any in-depth research yet, nor will he hand it over to anyone.

Because this thing is so dangerous, if you are not careful, it will directly erode and completely change the world.

Unless a relatively closed space-time can be found, and there are no people or creatures in it, Zuo Si will consider releasing [Shining Oil] to see how this substance created by Yawgmoth can complete the entire process bit by bit. The erosion, infection and transformation of the world, by the way, try to see if you can control it and use it for your own use.

After all, Yawgmoth himself had been killed long ago, Phyrexia's most important mechanical core also exploded, and the whole world fell apart. In theory, [Shining Oil] was considered an ownerless thing.

It's like those artificial intelligences that have lost human control. Although they are still performing tasks according to pre-set procedures, they actually no longer have the ability to judge on their own.

No matter who it is, as long as they can crack the secrets, they can become the new owner of [Shuoyou] just like cracking the firewall and system of a computer.

It's a pity that most planeswalkers in ancient times were frightened by Yawgmoth and the Phyrexian forces he created. For [Shining Oil], which can transform organic life, repair mechanical bodies, and have nearly unlimited energy, Fear it like a tiger.

Not to mention researching and trying to control it, even if there are traces of [Shining Oil] erosion in that place, the entire area will be immediately and permanently quarantined.

But Zuo Si was different.

He has not experienced the despair of watching time and space one after another being eroded and occupied by Phyrexia, but there is nothing he can do.

On the contrary, he is full of curiosity and interest in studying the magical technology left over from the ancient Solan civilization, as well as the Phyrexian civilization further developed by Yawgmoth on this basis.

Especially those huge [Dragon Engines] with mechanical beauty, and the super humanoid mechanical [Constructs] that may have been created by the ancient planeswalker Urza to fight against them. Without exception, Zuo Sishen was stunned. Deeply fascinated by it.

After all, these super large mechanical creations are inherently attractive to men like black holes.

If you conduct a questionnaire survey among men on earth and ask them to choose between a beautiful and sexy lover or a large robot, more than 90% will choose the latter without hesitation.

There is no way, who makes most men remain teenagers until they die.

No hesitation!

Zuo Si directly used his powerful creator ability to create a secret research base underground here, transform some cards into physical objects, and build a permanent portal.

After finishing all this, he returned to the floating city and summoned dozens of experts in machinery, materials, physics, etc., as well as Tyrantir, who had just crossed the threshold not long ago and officially became a legendary mage, and gathered them all together Brought over.

After witnessing the [Dragon Engine], [Magic Heavy Cannon], [Large Ornithopter] and various [Constructs], everyone fell into a state of sluggishness and could not get out of there for five or six minutes. He came back to his senses from such a strong shock.

Although strictly speaking, the actual combat effectiveness of these things may not be much stronger than those powerful ancient dragons, and they may even be at an absolute disadvantage in spell confrontation.

But the visual impact and sense of oppression brought by giant machines that can easily reach hundreds or thousands of meters are simply incomparable to the ancient giant dragon.

Mechanical engineer David kept swallowing his saliva. After a long time, he raised his arms and slapped his face hard twice, as if to confirm whether he was dreaming at this moment.

But the pain quickly made his brain become extremely clear-headed, and he immediately exclaimed in a trembling voice: "No...impossible!

How could a bionic machine of this volume and size possibly be created?

Even if it is manufactured, how can it make such fast and sensitive movements?

Gravity and its own weight alone should crush it!

Also, what does this huge body rely on for transmission?

Unscientific!

So unscientific! "

Obviously, these huge mechanical creations in front of us have completely overturned the inherent understanding of a mechanical engineer who has been on the earth for decades.

Not only him, but others had similar reactions.

Experts specializing in materials science have even come closer to carefully observe the materials of the metal bones and gears. They found that although they contain a lot of iron elements, they are actually a memory alloy with extremely high strength and toughness.

Even if you hit it hard to create a small crater and deform it, it will return to its original state within a few seconds at most.

As for the physicists, they noticed the energy core shining with magical light inside the [Dragon Engine] and [Construct], and each one of them went to inspect it like crazy with instruments.

When the test results came out, they found to their disbelief that each of these things built with unknown technology was like a small nuclear fusion reactor, which could release a huge amount of energy completely disproportionate to its own size, even if it used thousands of There will be no problem of energy depletion for years or tens of thousands of years.

In addition, the energy transmission methods spread across the metal skeleton on the inside of the body also opened the eyes of this group of scientific research elites from the earth.

It turns out that when magic and technology are perfectly combined, they can create something so powerful, perfect and incredible.

In contrast, Tyrantir, a mage, focused on the magic constant system used on the surface of [Dragon Engine], [Construct], [Magic Heavy Cannon] and [Large Ornithopter].

Although the Soran civilization in Dominaria's ancient times always gives people the illusion of technological and mechanical civilization.

But in fact, the background or source of their civilization is still not divorced from the use of energy and mana.

It's just that the original direct manipulation of energy to form various magical effects has been applied to the fields of machinery, biology, and genetic modification.

Therefore, the magic constant system developed on this basis is absolutely not inferior to any highly developed magic civilization, or even worse.

For Tyrantir, this is simply a huge treasure trove.

If you can learn from it and master some relevant knowledge, you will definitely gain very powerful power, and maybe even create a new legendary advanced career.

In short, everyone present felt that these creations have unimaginable research value.

If it hadn't been for permission, I would have started dismantling a small structure and started reverse engineering to figure out the basic principles of its operation.

Zuo Si obviously felt the enthusiasm for facing unknown technology and knowledge, and immediately announced with a smile: "Starting from today, your most important job is to organize manpower to reverse engineer these top creations that combine magic and technology, and then Apply the results obtained to the Floating City of Plantia. Tell me, are you confident in completing this task?"

"Hehe! Of course I have confidence! If we can't reverse engineer it through physical objects, we elites in various industries will have no shame in continuing to live. But this will obviously take a long time, and during this period it will need to include resources and manpower. support. The most important thing is that we need to dismantle, analyze and study these behemoths.”

McCas, a Ph.D. in physics, grinned with great excitement.

If the previous research conducted in the floating city was a variety of aimless attempts, and even they themselves did not know what results they could produce, then the next thing to do is targeted scientific research.

And it is not an ordinary scientific research project, but a large-scale reverse engineering with physical objects.

Through these studies, you can also unlock the amazing knowledge and advanced technology of an ancient and extremely developed magic and technological civilization.

Is there anything more exciting in the world than this?

The answer is obviously no!

Although the phrase "technological research and development relies on archeology" has always been a pretty classic joke on Earth, this is obviously not the case in the magical world.

Especially those ancient civilizations that developed to terrifying heights thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, but suddenly perished due to some special reasons, it can be said that each of them has its own uniqueness.

In a time and space like Dominaria where ancient artifacts can be unearthed from underground ruins every now and then, it is even more normal for "technological research and development to rely on archeology".

Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! I will give you enough support and agree with you to disassemble the things left here. But there is one thing. If you are not completely sure, it is best not to touch those cores. .”

"Don't worry, those of us who study high-energy physics know very well what an energy core of that level means, and we will never act rashly. Even if we want to dismantle it, we will start with the smallest mechanical body." McCas gave the assurance confidently.

Soon, under his leadership, pieces of testing instruments, special equipment for scientific research, and some large mechanical cranes for disassembly were transported from the floating city through the portal.

Just two or three hours later, a group of people gathered around the smallest [Construct] and started discussing where to start.

If it were a normal time when he was not busy, Zuo Si would naturally be very happy to join it and use his professional abilities as a creator to help with analysis and provide professional advice.

But unfortunately, there are too many things that he needs to be busy with now. Just locking two worlds through the dark void requires a lot of energy.

Secondly, I have to take some time to attend the upcoming Northland Lords Alliance meeting in Luskan to see what Alustriel and Golden Dragon Queen Vera Marandeth want to do after coming all the way.

Finally, we must pay attention to the movements of Baldur's Gate and Amn, and ensure that when the sons of Baal begin to awaken on a large scale and compete for the throne left by their father, and when the chess pieces left by Shane VII in Askatra begin to play a role, Can respond immediately.

In addition, Cyric, who is making artifacts, and the Church of Bane, who is lurking in the dark and waiting for opportunities, cannot be taken lightly.

Just when Zuo Si was about to turn around and leave, Tyrantir, who was still obsessed with analyzing those constant magics in the last second, suddenly came back to his senses in the next second, walked up quickly and reported in a low voice: "Your Excellency, those A small number of elites among the players have graduated from the corresponding academies and will leave the floating city today to perform their first mission."

"Graduation? So fast!" Zuo Si was slightly surprised.

Tyrantir explained helplessly: "Well! According to the observation of the mastermind Isadora, it was found that experienced veterans who have been on the battlefield before, as well as some bodyguards, killers and agents who have received professional training, often They can complete professional training courses for warriors, thieves, rangers, and barbarian warriors in a very short period of time.

In comparison, the caster profession is much slower.

Currently only two clerics, one druid, four bards, and one sorcerer have received actual class levels.

In order to prevent them from being unable to suppress the violent tendencies and murderous impulses in their hearts and causing trouble, I decided to issue a mission after discussing with Vanessa and send them to find traces of other floating cities.

In about an hour, these people will take the airship to the designated location to search..."

"Wait! What happened to the airship?" Zuo Si suddenly interrupted.

You know, the last time I left the floating city, there wasn't even a plan for this thing.

How come it took only ten days of work to actually create the real thing?

Although he also knew that the structure of the airship was not complicated, it could even be said to be very simple. It was just a huge airbag, a pod below, and a power propulsion system.

With the floating city's incredible industrial capabilities that combine magic and technology, it is estimated that one can be built in just an hour or two at most once the design drawings are available.

But the question is, is the safety of this airship really guaranteed?

Rigorous flight and severe weather testing?

If attacked by flying magical creatures, are there any means to repel or counterattack?

Any mature and stable aircraft cannot be achieved overnight and needs to be tested in practice over a long period of time.

An airship like this, which was put into use within a few days of being built, makes people feel panicky and insecure no matter how much they think about it.

“Building airships was actually a sudden idea to find more tribes hidden in mountains and dense forests on another continent.

According to the requirements put forward by the other three Isadoras, they need a vehicle that can adjust the height and fly at a slow speed so that they can find the small and medium-sized tribes hiding one by one.

Based on this requirement, weapons designer Boll gave a design plan for a large airship.

In order to implement the ideas of low cost, easy mass manufacturing, simple structure and easy repair and maintenance, he did not make much changes to the original structure of the airship.

Just replace the internal combustion engine originally used to provide power with an electric motor, and use the cylindrical energy storage crystal matrix you invented as the energy source.

In addition, in order to greatly increase the carrying capacity, Boll fixed a large amount of magic [Feather Falling Technique] on the pod, making it almost weightless no matter how much stuff is loaded.

In this way, a large number of people and materials can be easily carried with a small buoyancy of the air bag, achieving a far cheaper transportation method than building and maintaining a permanent portal.

And even if the airbag is destroyed, the pod below will not hit the ground hard, but will float down at a very slow speed.

When landing, it only needs to pass through the anti-magic force field to block a small part of the effect of [Feather Falling Technique]. The pod's own weight will cause it to lower its height and finally stop at the designated location. There are almost no special requirements for the terrain. .

In addition, the airbag of the airship also maintains the magical effect of wind resistance, ensuring normal operation in harsh weather conditions such as strong winds.

So far, we have only built one for flight and safety experiments. "

When saying this, Tyrantir did not hide his approval of Bol and his airship design plan at all.

Because with this thing, it can not only greatly improve the execution efficiency of the population migration plan, but also expand the control scope of Plantia Floating City and reduce the transportation and trade costs between towns and villages in the ruled area.

If enough are built to form a stable schedule like buses, we can even completely abandon the construction and maintenance of roads. In the future, both travel and buying and selling of goods will be completed through the air transportation system.

Not only does this save extra money, it's also very efficient, which is perfect.

As a person with the thinking and insight of modern earth society, it is certainly impossible for Zuo Si not to know the advantages and disadvantages of airships.

Especially under the influence of magical power, when the load capacity is greatly increased, and safety and stability are guaranteed, large airships are more useful than transport aircraft.

So he nodded with satisfaction: "It sounds pretty good. By the way, what kind of gas is injected into the airbag of this experimental airship? Is it helium?"

"No, it's hydrogen. Because it's easier and cheaper to obtain, and the electrolyzed water in the floating city can be obtained continuously day and night."

Tyrantir gave an answer that made Zuo Si feel frightened.

"Hydrogen?! Doesn't that mean that the entire airbag of the airship is equivalent to a huge bomb? Just throw a flame into it, and it will instantly turn into a gorgeous and huge fireworks blooming in the sky?" Zuo Si couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. asked rhetorically.

But Tyrantir shrugged nonchalantly: "Boll also raised this point when submitting the design plan.

Our researchers are working hard to develop a relatively inexpensive way to extract helium.

After the results are available, helium will naturally be used to replace the original hydrogen.

But now...

It’s not a big problem to make do with hydrogen first.

Anyway, the sky is always much safer than the earth, at least there are not so many undead, monsters and bandits robbing homes.

What's more, those players will not really die at all. Even if there is an accident, they will only lose a clone and a small amount of supplies.

Compared with the things you need to prepare and the dangers you encounter when traveling overland, it is nothing at all.

Of course, if you're thinking of implementing this kind of transportation in Faerûn, you'd better think twice.

I'm not sure whether those evil dragons, pterosaurs, griffins and other creatures with the ability to fly would attack airships flying over their lairs and territories.

At least don't rush to promote it until we find a self-defense weapon that can be equipped on an airship. "

"Don't worry. Before helium replaces hydrogen, I will not take out such a dangerous thing as public transportation. It is simply murder. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. You and I Keep an eye on Vanessa."

After saying this, Zuo Si went directly through several portals and returned to the Mage Tower. In the following days, he used the power of sparks to find the coordinates of the new world in the dark void, while reading the Netherese scrolls from inside. Learn a lot of theoretical knowledge about magic.

At the same time, more than 140 players who graduated from their respective academies in the floating city have now assembled and are standing in the shadow of the huge airship, raising their heads and gaping at this behemoth.

About two or three minutes later, Jack, who was wearing plate armor and a fully enclosed helmet, couldn't help but cursed in a tone full of exclamation: "Fake!

Our floating city actually has a means of transportation like an airship?

Just kidding!

Moreover, the ratio between the pod and the airbag of this airship is completely wrong!

Generally speaking, it is normal for the latter to be more than ten times or even dozens of times larger than the former!

How did it float? "

"Do you think that in this world full of magical power, airships will be the same as the real world?

I bet there's a lot of magic on this thing.

I asked a mage apprentice a few days ago that there is a magic called [Featherfall] in the first arcane spell, which can make people or objects as light as feathers.

Maybe there are many similar spells constantly blessed on the pod.

And with an airship as a means of transportation, it will be much easier for us to go to the mission location, and we don't have to work hard to sleep in the open.

Damn it!

I really like this virtual game world more and more. "

Wu Sheng stuck out his tongue and gently licked his slightly dry lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation.

"Hahahaha! Me too! Compared to the unfamiliar real world, this place can give us old popsicles a more familiar feeling. Come on, let's go in and see what's going on inside the airship."

After saying that, Jack patted his teammate's shoulder hard and quickly climbed up the rope ladder.

Wu Sheng followed closely behind.

After a while, more than 140 players entered the spacious pod.

Since it was a temporary thing, there were basically no decorations or furnishings inside the pod, and it was just divided into five parts based on function.

The cabin closest to the tail is the core power system, which contains the electric engine, energy crystal matrix, control and operating system.

Obviously, this part is not open to players for the time being. Instead, Boll and his people are responsible for operating it. By the way, they collect the design flaws and problems that may arise during the test flight of the airship, and then bring them back for upgrade and improvement.

As for the second part, it is a warehouse used to store supplies.

There are some fresh water, alcohol, food, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and milk for players to eat and drink, as well as replacement equipment such as weapons, armor, shields, crossbows, as well as arrows, blazing glue, which can deal with immortals. Consumables such as holy water that causes extra damage to creatures, small incendiary bombs and liquid hydrogen and oxygen bombs that are used to clear the area in a large area.

However, since the number of players is only over 140, there does not seem to be a lot of supplies, and the warehouse area can't help but give people a slightly empty feeling.

The third and fourth parts are the living areas.

There are not only separate small rooms and soft beds for sleeping, but also a large comprehensive kitchen for cooking, a public canteen, entertainment lounge, gym and training ground.

As for the last area, it is the semi-enclosed deck leading to the outside, which can also be called an observation deck or weapons platform.

Of course, since there are no suitable weapons that can be installed yet, we only made some ordinary ballistae and bed crossbows with rotation direction functions for show.

But players can use this place to drop the bombs and incendiary bombs in the warehouse and carry out large-scale indiscriminate bombing on the ground.

As the airship designer and the person with the highest decision-making power for this mission, Boll first took these players on a rough tour from beginning to end and clearly explained various precautions before ordering the anti-magic field to be lifted. As a result, the motor was powered on and slowly drove away from the floating city of Plantia.

Seeing that the first batch of elites could actually embark on the journey in such a spectacular vehicle, the rest of the players who had not yet obtained a real professional level showed expressions of envy and hatred.

"Gan! I haven't been to the sky since I was born. I really want to take a ride on an airship!"

"I have flown a few civil aviation flights, but I feel they are definitely incomparable to airships. If I had known that the first batch of graduates from the academy would get such extra benefits, I wouldn't have wasted time doing those branch tasks to make money."

"Who says otherwise? Going out on an adventure in an airship makes people feel excited and excited just thinking about it."

"Damn it! I can't bear it anymore! I have to go back to the Warrior Academy for more training now!"

"Count me in!"

"And I!"

"Together!"

"Is there any apprentice from the Mage Tower who can accompany me to the library?"

"Me me me!"

"The Thieves Academy has gathered here! Today we are going to challenge ourselves to pass through the rooms full of traps within five minutes."

…

Suddenly, more than 90% of the players seemed to have been stimulated. They put aside their previous thoughts of lying down and exploiting loopholes, and devoted themselves crazily to almost masochistic training. Even the tasks released by the floating city on weekdays were not included. Pay attention to it.

As for the remaining handful, it's not that they don't want to work hard, it's that they are all pregnant and don't dare to do too strenuous activities.

Even many female players began to regret their original choices.

But the problem is that giving birth to a child already involves an upfront time investment, so they are unwilling to give up halfway. They can only grit their teeth and hold on until they get the first reward before catching up.

As the daily manager of the Floating City, Vanessa noticed this change in wind direction and atmosphere, and immediately showed a meaningful smile, and directly asked the mastermind Isadora to release a game update in the virtual world "Infinite City" preview.

The content is that in half a month, a new world will be opened for all players who have obtained professional levels.

In the new world, they are free to join any force, or they can join forces to form their own force, and they can even destroy, kill, plunder, conquer, and rule all villages and towns. They can even call themselves kings and build a country.

In short, there are no taboos while ensuring that the interests of Plantia Floating City are not harmed.

Moreover, depending on the route and camp chosen by each player, the tasks and rewards given are also different.

If the giant airship that passed over the floating city before was equivalent to throwing a big firecracker into the middle of the crowd, then this update trailer was like a cloud bomb, which immediately drove thousands of players into madness.

Jack, who had just taken a break from the airship, immediately found his good teammate. His eyes flashed with a chilling light, and he grinned and asked: "Man, have you seen the latest announcement?"

"Hmm! Such breaking news, unless I am deaf and blind, how could I not see it?"

Wu Sheng subconsciously clenched his fists and answered in the affirmative without thinking.

"Then what are your plans and plans? In other words, do you want to join a certain camp, or do we form a new camp together and work alone?" Jack probed, touching the stubble growing on his chin.

Wu Sheng responded without thinking: "Do you still need to ask? Of course I will do it alone!

The description of that new world is pretty clear, it's a medieval level place with a few dragons and a little magic.

With our knowledge and experience, we can easily raise a mercenary team.

At that time, the soldiers will be trained through small-scale wars, and then the number will be gradually increased until they can capture cities and cede territory to become kings.

Of course, in order to quickly achieve this goal, we must recruit more players to join.

As for the number, it is best to keep it between fifty and one hundred. "

"Hahahaha! We both thought of going together!

I think this mission is a good opportunity.

After all, those who can graduate from their respective academies within half a month must be elite warriors like you and me.

Select and recruit some of them as the core core, and then select some from the rest of the players, and we will be able to form an invincible and powerful team. "

Jack laughed and watched, getting ready for a big fight.

"It will take at least half a month for the new world to open. During this period, we must improve our professional level as much as possible and accumulate combat experience. The most important thing is that we must perform outstandingly in the missions in order to win among the players. More appeal and influence.”

While he was talking, Wu Sheng poured the slimy nutritious meal on his plate, which had no texture or taste at all, into his mouth.

After eating this disgusting-looking food for more than half a month, he felt that his taste system had begun to deteriorate.

If it weren't for the fact that I could taste real food in the game world, I would probably go crazy.

In fact, not only him, but also other players had similar reactions.

Some of the more pampered people have even begun to develop stress reactions and anorexia. They can't help but feel nauseated when they see nutritious meals. They would rather exchange the little money they finally earned in the game into real-world currency to buy food. Not willing to endure this torture.

Jack also pinched his nose and poured the sticky paste from the dinner plate into his mouth, then drank a large glass of water in one breath and put it into his stomach. Then he took a long breath and cursed in a low voice. : "This extremely bad taste and taste always reminds me of the vomit that drunkards spit out at the door of the bar. I really don't understand how the future society three hundred years later can create such anti-human things. "

"Because it is provided free of charge to all poor people who cannot afford to eat, ensuring the most basic right to survival. So don't complain. After completing this task and getting the reward, I will buy some fresh vegetables and meat online. You cook a delicious meal." Wu Sheng comforted him by throwing the empty plate into the automatic washing machine next to him.

"This is what you said! I'll keep it in mind!"

Since Jack had already tasted the cooking skills of his teammate from the cooking class on the airship, his eyes suddenly lit up and his mouth began to salivate profusely.

"No problem! My greatest advantage is that I never break my promise. Let's go back to the virtual world and see where the airship is now."

After that, the two of them got up to open this free public welfare restaurant, returned to their temporary residence, and lay down in the huge egg-shaped life support system.

In the blink of an eye, their consciousness was injected into the clone's brain by psychic signals.

After a brief trance, Jack and Wu Sheng woke up from the beds in the living area of ​​the airship.

After briefly checking and sorting out their equipment, they immediately came to the semi-enclosed deck outside.

Since the flight altitude is only over a thousand meters, the situation on the ground can be clearly seen through the telescope.

Among them, the zombies wandering along a country road and the extremely fast and strange ghouls quickly attracted the attention of the two.

"what is that?"

Jack couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

"That is the undead creatures that become under the influence of negative energy after death. The lowest ones are skeletons and zombies, and the more advanced ones are ghouls. When you arrive at your destination, the biggest threats you will face should come from to them."

Captain Bol, who happened to be on the deck for some air, explained in a nonchalant tone.

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to when dealing with them?" Jack asked very humbly.

He didn't know that the person in front of him actually came from the same world as himself, and he thought that the person in front of him was some high-level NPC who had a lot of knowledge and secrets.

Of course, Boll had long been accustomed to this kind of attitude from players, and replied calmly: "There are two points that need to be noted.

First, most undead creatures have no so-called vital points. If you want to kill them, you must smash them completely;

Second, the undead in this world are different from the undead in other worlds. They may carry deadly magical plagues in their bodies, so it is best to take a bottle of specially prepared potion immediately after the battle.

Since you are a priest, you have more advantages in dealing with undead than other professions.

Whether God gives you the ability to disperse or control undead creatures, or those positive energy magics and the Phoenix God's unique fire magics, you can cause amazing damage to them.

Alternatively, the same effect can be obtained by applying holy water and oil to the weapon.

In short, encountering small groups of zombies or ghouls shouldn't be too difficult a challenge for you.

However, if you are unlucky and encounter hundreds or even thousands of undead, I suggest you retreat to the location of the airship while fighting.

At that time, I will give you some air fire cover. "

Jack nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, thank you for your advice. One last question, how far are we from the mission location?"

"Half an hour! We will arrive over the mission area in half an hour. You can start packing your luggage now and prepare for landing. I suggest you bring at least three days' worth of food, a bottle of low-alcohol wine, and two bottles of A healing potion and a plague-neutralizing potion, plus a few other supplies and a pyrotechnic wand to send signals into the sky."

After saying this, Bol ignored these players and turned around and walked straight towards the core area at the rear.

Under his command and control, after only half an hour, the airship began to slowly descend in height, and finally lowered the rope ladder more than 20 meters above the ground.

More than 140 elite players carried weapons and luggage on their backs and climbed down from the edge of the pod one by one. Then they began to wield axes and saws in their hands to cut down the surrounding trees, clear weeds and rocks, and quickly cleared a large area. A relatively flat open space.

As for the felled trees, they were not wasted. They were directly tied into wooden rafts and erected as walls to build a simple temporary camp.

After all this was done, they gathered together for a meeting and divided the search area on the map into countless small pieces.

Each team will claim a piece based on the number of people.

As for those "lone wolves" who don't have a team yet, they will temporarily join a team with a small number of people.

Since this is the first mission, and it is still so far away from the floating city, the players are extremely cautious, fearing that they will accidentally hand over their lives here, thereby missing the most exciting and exciting adventure.

After all, they knew after entering the game that their "resurrection point" was in the floating city. It would take two or three days to fly an airship to such a far place. Even if they were resurrected instantly after death, they would not be able to get there.

As a combination of only two people, it was inevitable that several people would be added to Jack and Wu Sheng's team.

These include two warriors, a rogue and a warlock.

Yes!

The only solitary seedling warlock among more than 140 players became a member of their team.

It's not that no one wants a warlock who is an orthodox arcane spellcaster, but that this warlock seems a bit unreliable.

Not only is she a girl who is only fourteen years old in real life, but she has also chosen the bloodline of a forest elf plus a woodland creature. She looks frail. She is only less than 1.5 meters tall, and she is not very courageous. She is even a little bit... Afraid of the dark.

In the eyes of the elite soldiers, bodyguards and killers, this girl was a complete liability, so no one was willing to take her with them.

Only Wu Sheng felt that the girl was pitiful. At the same time, he believed that the spell caster would definitely be of great use in the future, so he chose to bring it with him to give it a try first.

If it's not possible, we can just wait until this mission is over and go our separate ways.

After informing each other of their names and their specialties, the six-person team headed towards the depths of the dense forest facing the rising sun.

Because the little warlock Caroline's strength attribute was very low, only seven points, she could not carry too many supplies. The strong Jack took the initiative to take over the girl's backpack.

The understanding between each other was very limited, and the team seemed very dull along the way, with basically no one talking.

But after traveling for about an hour, the situation improved significantly.

To be precise, they encountered a group of wild boars, a creature that was very common in this world before the magical plague broke out.

It's just that they are different from ordinary wild boars. These dozen large and small wild boars are obviously dead. They exude a strong rancid smell, and some of the wounds that are suspected of being bitten also have a large number of scalp-numbing growths. cysts and black and red squirming worms.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Without any surprise, the timid Caroline took the lead in breaking the original silence among the team members with a scream that even a soprano could not match.
