This is not an MMO game copy

Unless this [Xuguanxundao-Zhenhai] becomes a magic weapon.

But unlike the sound corpse transformed from the reverberation, weapons like the Swift Blade obviously cannot directly skip the two steps of refining and gathering spirits to become magic weapons recognized by the system's magic weapon page by taking shortcuts.

Xia Yan now had neither the time nor the energy to stay in the wilderness. He used the refining technique to use his own Tai Chi energy to refine it until spirituality emerged, and then used the spirit gathering technique to temper the spirituality until it could communicate with his mind and refine it into a magic weapon.

However, he had currently harvested and controlled ten light-wave-class afterimages summoned by the Molten Worm Sound Corpses, plus this [Xu Guan Xun Dao - Zhen Hai], which was barely enough for him to temporarily survive in this post-apocalyptic world.

After all, ten living biochemical grenade launchers, acting as human shields capable of withstanding grenade explosions and the splash of thousand-degree lava, armed with weapons forged with technology and materials specifically designed to deal with afterimages, as well as cultivation techniques and sword techniques that could unleash a portion of their power...

...Taking all these factors into account, Xia Yan felt that he was thrown into a modern battlefield in the real world. As long as he was not attacked by heavy weapons, he could single-handedly defeat or wipe out some small-scale tactical forces.

But in this world, it can only barely save your life.

It's not enough for him to clear this 'copy' world.

This was as he finally finished the mountain road with ten fireflies leading the way and officially entered the canyon below Panlong Cliff. Standing on the edge of a broken plank road more than ten meters below, he looked at the open space in front of him which was wider than a large stadium and suspected to be the top of an underground ruin. He then saw a suspended "mechanical device".

Xia Yan had a clearer understanding.

In the map of Chengxiao Mountain, the "mechanical device" floating at this position should be one of the red-named monsters in Chengxiao Mountain, the plus version of the Giant Wave-level Swimming Scale Mechanism, the Heart-Protecting Scale.

There is also one of the red-named monsters in Chengxiao Mountain, the plus version of the Giant Wave-level Light-Treading Beast, the Power of Treading Light, and two Wolves, all of which are at the peak of the Giant Wave and half-step into the Furious Wave level. They have defeated countless clumsy players with quite outrageous numbers.

Although reality and games cannot be lumped together, looking at it from afar, that thing may be the 'Giant Wave Peak Great Perfection Half-Step Raging Wave Level'.

He turned around and looked at the ten light-wave-level fireflies guarding him.

He lowered his head and took another look at the three-star blue weapon [Xuguan Xundao-Zhenhai].

"..."

After Xia Yan decisively took back the magic weapon summon of [Melting Firefly Sound Corpse], he prepared to use his lightness skills to try to fly over the eaves and walls, and bypass the master of the "Giant Wave Peak Great Perfection Half-Step Raging Wave Level" in the distance.

First copy: 7. Khaki out of the

In Xia Yan's memory, the canyon at the bottom of Panlong Cliff was not very big, but on the right was the cliff of Panlong Cliff, and on the left was a cliff. Looking out, one could see Youlong Ridge, located south of Chengxiao Mountain, which was outside most of the map.

Due to the difference between reality and the game, when Xia Yan used his lightness skills to jump down from the broken plank road that was more than ten meters high, and hunched his body to reduce his presence, he slowly moved to the edge of the cliff on the left, close to the rock wall of a Tianchi Lake.

Only then did he realize that in the real world, the terrain of Chengxiao Mountain was far more magnificent and dangerous than the game map.

Xia Yan estimated the height of the cliff and was extremely sure that if he did not have the hang glider in the Mingchao game and the flying sword as a magic weapon, and could not fly with the sword, with his current lightness skills, the possibility of flying down to the beach at the foot of the mountain safely was not high.

If you don't jump off the cliff, you can only follow the mountain road leading to the southwest until you reach another broken plank road and walk into a snowfield located on the ridge of Panlong Cliff.

Of course, the above is the map in the Mingchao game, and it is also the planned route in the game. Considering the differences between reality and the game, Xia Yan can be sure that the snowfield on the ridge of Panlong Cliff in the real world is much more vast than that in the game.

Moreover, the Jishu Huxinlin who was at the peak of the giant wave and half a step to the raging wave level was now standing in this way.

In the game, as long as you don't get too close, you won't step into the wild monster's hatred circle, and the character controlled by the player can easily bypass it.

However, the Heart-Protecting Scale, the 'Giant Wave Peak Great Perfection Half-Step Raging Wave Level' mechanism, and the Giant Wave Level Swimming Scale mechanism, are not strictly speaking residual images in the background setting of the game.

Instead, it was the creators of the ruins in various parts of Chengxiao Mountain who used the defense modules of the surface of the Year Lord's "horns", which are commonly known as "dragon scales", to create automatic defense machines to eliminate all outsiders.

Xia Yan was unwilling to practice and see how large the warning range of this automatic defense machine was.

Not to mention, the automatic defense machine blocking this road is the plus version of the Giant Wave-class Swimming Scale Machine Hub, the Heart-Protecting Scale. Judging from the name, this red-named monster of the 'Giant Wave Peak Great Perfection Half-Step Raging Wave Level' is probably made using the reverse scales shed by the dragon 'Jiao', the Lord of the Year. It is distributed throughout the Ji Ting Ruins of Chengxiao Mountain and is the system center of all the Swimming Scale Machine Hubs.

Breaking in by force is currently not possible.

There are dead ends on both sides.

Fortunately, Xia Yan was not without other options. After moving to the end of the cliff on the left, he kept an eye on the Heart Scale in the distance while using the magic weapon [Fireworm Sound Skeleton] to summon ten more fireflies.

Then, he began to let the giant white worm that appeared from the sound of the sea dig the ground on the spot. Relying on the characteristics of the firefly's residual image, it drilled into the frozen soil and rocks under its feet and waited patiently.

There are fireflies everywhere in Chengxiao Mountain. These residual images are set to naturally produce magma, which melts the permafrost to build a network of caves.

So, Xia Yan didn't have to wait long. Soon, he saw a firefly digging through the rock layer and drilling half of its body out on the rock wall not far from the end of the cliff.

Seeing this, he did not hesitate or delay, nor did he care about his fear of heights and the cold wind on the cliff. He immediately used his lightness skills to jump out. After flying over a distance of more than ten meters in one go, he carefully landed on the half of the firefly's body that had emerged, and held on to the mountain wall beside him to steady himself.

After a while, another firefly emerged from the mountain wall about ten meters in front of Xia Yan...

...Then, he followed the same method, letting the fireflies act as 'climbing spikes' to provide himself with a foothold. After struggling for a long time, he finally succeeded in going around the outside of the mountain wall little by little and came to the broken end of another plank road.

At this time, looking at the snowfield in front of him, which was located on the ridge of Panlong Cliff and extended all the way down the mountain, Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was in his throat.

In the game, just follow the road on the snowy field, jump off the cliff to the right again, continue along the road, pass a place called Tianqumu, and you will reach Hong Town, the only human settlement in Chengxiao Mountain.

But this route was not safe. Xia Yan vaguely remembered that on this route, in addition to the fireflies, the "cockroaches" that could be seen everywhere in Chengxiao Mountain, there were also clusters of condensation and heat-melt prisms, which were also light-wave-level afterimages.

After jumping off a cliff and changing routes, you will encounter giant wave-level residual elephants such as Arrow Bear and Snow Mane Wolf. When you reach Tianqumu, you will also encounter light wave-level residual elephants such as Ding Dongdong... In the game, these cute-looking things will rush over and self-destruct without hesitation when they are low on health.

However, something even more important was yet to come. Xia Yan remembered that a strange-looking light-stepping beast would sometimes appear under the Tianqu tree.

The so-called Anomaly Lighttreader is the shiny Pokémon version of the Giant Wave Lighttreader, and its color is different from the normal Lighttreader. It is not the plus version of the Giant Wave Lighttreader, and it also ranks among the "Giant Wave Peak Great Perfection Half-Step Raging Wave Level" Lighttreader's power.

However, any player who has played the Chengxiao Mountain map will be clearly aware that the mechanism and stats of the Treading Light Beast are completely different from the strength of ordinary giant wave-level monsters. It is even more difficult to beat than the Youlin Jishu, which is also ranked in the first row above the giant wave-level strength.

That's not all. After passing the unusual Light-Treading Beast, which might appear under the Amanato Tree, and before reaching Rainbow Town, you might encounter the genuine Light-Treading Beast under a waterfall. Not far away, you'll encounter the Giant Wave-class Afterimage, the Purple-Winged Heron, and the brand-new Light Wave-class Afterimage, the Annihilation Prism...

...In short, in this post-apocalyptic world, the wild environment is so dangerous that for ordinary people, traveling in the wild is as difficult as walking on a modern battlefield in the 21st century.

This was just an isolated island that was directly protected by the protagonist. Compared to other places on the game map, it was generally considered a relatively safe area.

However, Xia Yan knew very well that he had no choice.

He didn't know how long he would stay in this [copy] that he couldn't exit.

But if you stay in the wild of this world after dark without food, water or shelter, that would be truly seeking death.

Xia Yan looked up at the sky.

Night has not yet arrived, but he has been dawdling for a long time, and he doesn't know how much time is left before the sunset and night fall.

He no longer has a choice.

Only by escaping into Hongzhen, taking advantage of the fact that the storyline of Chengxiao Mountain 1.1 had just ended and Hongzhen was still recovering from the invasion by the Canxing Society, could he obtain the resources to survive in this world and have enough time to master the skills and cultivation given by the system's 'initiation' until he was sure of clearing the final boss room of this 'copy' which was almost certain to be waiting for him at the top of Panlong Cliff.

For now, Xia Yan could only believe that the Qinggong skills he had mastered after being "initiated" by the system, and which he had been forced to quickly master in the series of changes so far, could help him escape the next series of dangers and disasters.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan took a deep breath, used his lightness skills to jump off the broken plank road, then gritted his teeth and ran into the snowfield located on the ridge of Panlong Cliff.

run.

Run hard.

Don't run back.

Don't stop running forward...

First instance: 8. Temporarily residing in Hongzhen and refining magic weapons (4k+)

Rainbow Town.

A small town located in the central area of ​​Chengxiao Mountain.

After a group of terrorists led by the Canxing Society invaded Chengxiao Mountain, the town was inevitably caught up in the disaster. Most of the residents, along with some members of the invading Canxing Society, were imprisoned in the stasis field formed by the time turbulence by the power of the Year Lord.

Until everything is over.

The entire Hong Town was finally freed from the stagnation of time.

However, the turmoil caused by the terrorist invasion of the Canxing Society cannot be completely eliminated in a short period of time.

In particular, the initial invasion of the Canxing Society ultimately caused many casualties among residents. Even though the crisis has been resolved, there is still panic in Hong Town. Many local residents have taken up arms again, wary of the Canxing Society's bandits invading again, and any disturbance will cause a riot.

This tense atmosphere gradually eased after the sun set and night fell.

At this time, at the eastern entrance of the town, several residents who were assigned by the mayor to be on guard happened to be walking into the town with a stranger who was in a disheveled state, with torn clothes, and holding a sharp knife.

But Hongzhen, which had just experienced turmoil, did not pay much attention to this person.

After all, Chengxiao Mountain is not really completely disconnected from the outside world. Occasionally, outsiders risk entering the time turbulence and come to the town. Among them are travelers who have heard rumors about Chengxiao Mountain and come to find out what it is like.

Therefore, Hongzhen's temporary "militia" led this outsider to find the mayor and let the woman who used to be a high-ranking official in the outside world and now returned to retire to make a judgment.

After confirming that this outsider was not an ordinary Canxinghui bandit who had physical deformities and was easier to identify by his appearance and clothing, and that he had been attacked by many Canxiang along the way, it was obvious that he had escaped death after a narrow escape.

The mayor allowed the outsider who had fled here to stay, provided him with the necessary water and food, and had someone treat his wounds.

Then, the temporary "militia" invited the outsider to stay in a deliberately arranged house, so as to facilitate the necessary monitoring of his unidentified person.

The outsiders also cooperated and handed over their weapons.

Thus, the fleeing outsiders and the residents of Rainbow Town spent the first night in peace.

It was not until the third day that the outsider was temporarily ruled out as a member of the Canxing Society, and several temporary "militias" came to return the weapons he had handed over.

"terribly sorry."

"It's okay, I understand..."

After receiving the returned Swift Blade, the outsider nodded calmly. Even when several 'militias' apologized and said that according to the mayor's request, it would be impossible to continue to provide him, an outsider with no clear identity, with unconditional housing, water and food, he did not show any indignation or dissatisfaction.

"...I don't have a Pangu terminal, nor do I have any external communication channels, so I can't prove my identity. The former Lord Yi Xinyi's concerns are very reasonable."

Several Hongzhen residents who were temporarily serving as "militias" felt relieved at the "reasonable" attitude shown by the outsiders. After a brief explanation, they were no longer required to provide free food, clothing, housing and transportation. They also told the outsiders that they could try to find some work in Hongzhen, which was in need of reconstruction. For example, they could clear out the remaining elephants wandering around Hongzhen and on the port road leading to the northwest of Chengxiao Mountain to earn some shells for their lives. Then they withdrew their surveillance of the outsiders.

As he watched the few 'militiamen' leave, this outsider... Xia Yan, who had escaped from the ridge of Panlong Cliff east of Chengxiao Mountain three nights ago in a miserable state, relying entirely on the cultivation power of the system's 'initiation', finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

three days ago.

Just as he expected, the last stretch of the road down the mountain to Rainbow Town was full of dangers, and the number and density of residual elephants along the way far exceeded that in the game.

After jumping off the broken section of the plank road, Xia Yan first used his lightness skills to easily escape from the hunting range of a group of fireflies without much entanglement, but then encountered a large number of clustered condensation and heat-melting prism afterimages.

The former continuously fires ice crystals that resemble large-caliber bullets.

The latter will build up momentum to launch a giant fireball that is more than half a person's height.

The fireflies summoned by Xia Yan using the 'magic weapon' [Firefly Sound] were attacked by the ice crystals like machine gun fire as soon as they came into contact with each other, and one of them was torn to pieces on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the huge fireball fired by the melta prism came like an RPG, instantly blowing the fireflies, whose bodies could withstand grenade explosions and temperatures of thousands of degrees, into pieces.

Fortunately, although the prism, as an afterimage derived from minerals, can float on the ground against gravity, its own movement speed is not fast. With the help of the fireflies' cover, Xia Yan quickly escaped from the large number of prism afterimages gathered together.

But after jumping off a cliff to change his route, Xia Yan had the misfortune to run into a giant wave-class arrow-cluster bear with the appearance of a black bear as soon as he landed. He tried to fight it, but found that the fireflies summoned by the "magic weapon" were like paper in front of the arrow-cluster bear.

The molten fireballs spewed by the fireflies could not hurt the thick-skinned and fleshy Arrow Bear.

The Arrow Bear rushed over and ripped open the belly of a nearly four-meter-long white giant worm with one slap.

Xia Yan used the [Guanhong] sword technique and the sword energy released by his swift sword to break through the Arrow Bear's defense, but he couldn't kill it with one blow like he did with the Firefly.

After wasting a lot of effort, he managed to kill the Arrow Bear with his sword. The attack mode was similar to that of a normal black bear. It could only use its size and tonnage to carry out physical attacks. It was too heavy and not flexible enough. He obtained an [Arrow Bear Corpse].

However, not long after he continued to move forward, he ran into a pack of giant wolves with snow-white fur, the Snow-Maned Wolf, which was also a Giant Wave-class remnant. Xia Yan was injured for the first time.

Like a roar that could unleash an ice storm centered on itself, a tail that condenses into an ice blade and swirls with it, a volley of icicles that is accompanied by a row of icicles, a backflip after launching an icicle, and a breath of frost that resembles an atomic breath...

...Compared to the Arrow Bear, which was just thick-skinned and tough, the Snow Mane Wolf's various magical skills put Xia Yan in danger, not to mention that these dung monsters could act in groups.

In the end, Xia Yan relied on the "magic weapon" [Arrow Bear Sound Corpse] to summon an Arrow Bear, which was also a Giant Wave-level residual image, to act as a meat shield and scapegoat. He desperately used his lightness skills to escape from the group of snow-maned wolves.

But that's not the end. Later on the way, they encountered light-treading beasts that looked like saber-toothed tigers many times. They were also super dung monsters that combined the thick skin and flesh of arrow-tufted bears with the magical skills of snow-maned wolves. Xia Yan could only rely on the ten fireflies and an arrow-tufted bear summoned by the "magic weapon" to attract attention and delay the enemy with firepower before he was able to escape.

There was also the Purple-winged Heron, also a Giant Wave-class afterimage, a afterimage with the appearance of an oversized bird. On this real planet of Solaris, this kind of thing was not a chicken that had fallen to the ground to compromise gameplay, but would attack like a fighter jet licking the ground to scoop up French fries. He was chased for a long distance before he finally got rid of the pursuit.

Finally, after nightfall, after going through untold hardships, with his clothes torn and tattered, and enduring the pain from his injuries, Xia Yan finally escaped along the road to Hong Town.

What happened next was exactly what was said at the beginning.

Now, looking at the [Xuguan Xundao-Zhenhai] that was returned to him, and looking around this seemingly isolated and ancient town, but full of various high-tech equipment, Xia Yan didn't know whether he should be happy or sad about being forced to face reality again.

a long time.

He sighed and silently performed the [Sword Heart Clearness] method to question his true self, suppressing the fear and anxiety deep in his heart once again.

During the three days of being "detained", Xia Yan thought a lot, especially after confirming that if he did not pass this "copy", he would have to stay in this world and could not go back, he had to face the current reality again.

Of course, the suffering he endured on the way to Hongzhen was not entirely in vain. Perhaps it was because he had truly experienced a dangerous transformation, or perhaps it was because the Qingyun Sect's skills and cultivation that the system "initiated" were given to him in the form of knowledge and instinct at the same time, and the synchronization rate was improved through actual combat.

Xia Yan felt that he seemed to have become much stronger. He knew how to control and master the magic power in his body, the Tai Chi Qi cultivated from the Shangqing Realm of Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao. He also had a better understanding and experience of the Qingyun Sect's sword techniques and magic that he could currently perform.

At the same time, he also became increasingly aware that in this post-apocalyptic world, with only his current strength, not to mention the Zhou Ben tsunami-level boss that he had to face in this "copy", even the giant wave-level afterimage would be fatal to him.

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Xia Yan deeply realized that he urgently needed to improve his strength.

If you are unable to fully master the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao Shangqing realm cultivation obtained through "initiation" within a short period of time, then you should simply regard the magic power that is equivalent to the cultivation as a "blue bar".

Based on his previous experience on the road to escape, Xia Yan found that the [—blue strip—] that he could see in his field of vision did not consume much energy even if he used [Melting Firefly Sound Corpse] and [Arrow Bear Sound Corpse], a total of eleven "magic weapons", at the same time, and frequently performed light skills and sword techniques.
