In the woods, Li Lai blessed himself with a lightening technique, and quickly shuttled back and forth between the trees, looking for the fifth team.

Finally, he stopped somewhere in the forest.

Here are the most traces.

Apparently, the fifth team rested here last night. There are rocks on three sides of this place, and there are sparse trees in front of it, which is a good place to rest.

In addition to the footprints, there are some food residues on the ground. It can be seen that the fifth team stayed here for a long time.

But...why are everyone gone?

Li Lai was suspended in the air and used the communication device again to contact the captain of the fifth team.

He did not give up and continued to contact others.

As the leader of the team, he mastered everyone\'s communication numbers.

However, none responded to him.

And if you use voice and video, it will prompt him that the other party is not in the service area...

A haze shrouded his heart.

In particular, when he found that the surrounding tree trunks had bullet marks from the laser gun, his mood became even more solemn.

Obviously, the fifth team has encountered a crisis, and now I don\'t know where to go, and its life and death are uncertain.

Li Lai gritted his teeth and followed the bullet marks all the way, but when he was about to plunge headlong into the forest, his body suddenly froze.

"Hiss—" The very subtle sound of spitting out letters could hardly be heard by ordinary people, but Li Lai, who always mobilized the wind element to observe various movements, still noticed it.

He froze in place, and through the wind element, he heard more subtle noises—accompanied by the weird hissing sound, and the squeak of scales scraping the trees, very light and small, but it made Li Lai shudder.

He forced himself to calm down.

In the wild, only a cool head can make him survive in various crises. Once you fall into panic, you are not far from death.

Finally, Li Lai discovered the source of the sound.

Just in front of him, on a big tree, a tawny-brown giant snake that almost merged with the surrounding environment was coiled and hung on the trunk.

It was there, waiting on his way.

His head was hidden among the dense foliage, his slender tongue stuck out gently, and his huge eyes stared at him coldly.

If he just flew past like that, it would definitely pounce at some point and swallow him.

Li Lai has no doubts about this.

With the size of the mouth of this giant snake, it can completely swallow an adult man in one bite.

"Plop plop-" His heart beat like a drum, but he didn\'t choose to turn around and run away.

This may anger the giant snake, or attract its attention.

Facing it, he stepped back very slowly, his spirit was highly nervous, and the wind element surrounded him, ready to form a wind shield to protect him.

Fortunately, the giant snake did not attack him.

It spit out snake letters, and stared in his direction without blinking, but did not chase after him.

Li Lai didn\'t know how he escaped to the shore safely, until he finally hid in a crevice of stones, he swallowed and gasped.

No one is afraid of death.

Of course, except for those brave warriors with a sick mind.

Thinking of the group of brave warriors who were always smiling and not serious at all times, Li Lai relaxed strangely, and the crashed mind returned to thinking.

Recalling what happened just now, he could clearly feel that the giant snake was a three-star beast.

A new three-star beast has appeared in the Asmo Mountains!

This discovery shook his heart.

Before, there was only one three-star rock beast in the Asmo Mountains, and he was also the target of his vigilance, but they were lucky and did not encounter this rock beast all the way across the mountain.

Now, however, there is an even stronger one.

After Li Lai found a safe place, he immediately sent the news back to the headquarters on the border of the imperial city, and reported the disappearance of the fifth team.

When he sent the image of the giant snake back to the headquarters, he also observed it carefully and found that the belly of the giant snake did not bulge.

According to the characteristics of the snake, if it devoured the fifth team, its stomach would never be so flat now.

And even if they encounter a giant snake, the fifth team has a wind element division, and the giant snake has a strong explosive power, but in terms of flexibility and speed, it should not be comparable to the warriors.

So it shouldn\'t be possible for the soldiers to be eaten by the giant snakes, there will always be escapes, but...

Why can\'t the communicator get in touch?

The headquarters soon returned the news that Admiral Joyce asked him to return to Lanyue City immediately. The Marshal will lead the element engineer engineering team and production team to arrive soon. He has applied to the Marshal and he can follow him when the time comes. Back to the Imperial City together.

As for the fifth team... but not a word was mentioned.

Li Lai understood what Admiral Joyce meant - give up the fifth team and return as soon as possible.

His eyes were almost split.

There are 32 people in the fifth team, how can you give up when you say you give up?

With shaking hands, he sent a communication request to Admiral Joyce, who also answered his voice.

"Admiral Joyce..."

As soon as Li Lai opened his mouth, Admiral Joyce\'s voice sounded faintly.

"Li Lai, you have done a good job in this mission." He whispered, "The team of 192 people not only escorted all the targets to Lanyue City, but also a total of 128 people survived."

"This is already a very remarkable survival rate. I have also seen your performance along the way. When you come back, I will personally award you with honors."

In previous years\' **** missions, the mortality rate was definitely more than half, but this time, Li Lai\'s completion was excellent enough.

However, Li Lai was not happy.

He knows it\'s not because of how good he is, it\'s all because of the sacrifices of the brave...

"Admiral Joyce, those 23 warriors and 9 brave men... Didn\'t they save them?"

Li Lai lowered his voice, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly said, "I left the flight monitor, Admiral Joyce, what happened to them? Why did they disappear?"

Admiral Joyce paused and said in a low voice, "They were attacked by a star beast late at night and fled all the way into the jungle. At some point, the flight monitor lost contact."

"There is no light at night, and it is impossible to tell where they last disappeared based on the images from the surveillance cameras. Perhaps they have already died."

"But I didn\'t find a body here..." Li Lai said eagerly.

"Even if there are no corpses, how likely do you think they will survive in the Morris Mountains?"

Admiral Joyce\'s voice sounded so calm to the point of indifference.

Li Lai was stunned.

He raised his eyes and looked at the lush virgin forest in the distance through the cracks in the stone.

Not impossible, but...

Very small.

"So, go back to Lanyue City."

Admiral Joyce said, "Sacrifice is inevitable. The empire still needs you. You are about to be promoted to two stars. You are a very good elementalist. There are many people waiting for you to rescue in the future."

Li Lai hung up the call in a daze.

He stayed quietly in the crevice of the stone, a crystal clear liquid slipped from the corner of his eyes, and he raised his hand to cover his eyes.

if…

He didn\'t leave them on the other side yesterday, would the outcome be different if he insisted on letting them cross the river?

"Om—" The communicator vibrated, and someone called.

Li Lai quickly wiped his eyes, looked at the caller ID on the communicator, and chose to answer the call.

"Small town." He lowered his voice to hide the strangeness in his voice.

"Brother, I heard Wen Jishan say that you have arrived in Lanyue City? Is everything going well?" Li Zhecheng\'s voice sounded across from him.

Li Lai snorted as a response.

"Master Marshal went to Lanyue City. Come back with your lord. The two of us haven\'t seen each other for a long time. Let\'s go eat and drink milk tea."

"You\'ve been in the army all the time, and you probably haven\'t had milk tea. It was researched by His Majesty, and you have opened several stores in the imperial city."

Listening to his hearty words, Li Lai smiled and said, "Okay, but I may have something to do here. I\'ll go back after a while."

Although he tried his best to hide it, there was still some choking in his voice, and he wondered if the person on the other side heard it.

"What\'s up?"

"Military secrets."

The opposite Li Zhecheng was silent for a while and asked, "Did Your Majesty ask you to catch the traitor?"

Li Lai was stunned, traitor?

He had some doubts in his heart, but at this time he could only follow his brother\'s words and say, "This is your own guess."

"Hey, let\'s do it." Li Zhecheng said, "Then be careful and pay attention to safety, I\'m just a big brother like you, don\'t hang up."

"I know, keep your Majesty safe, don\'t make any mistakes."

Li Zhecheng nodded over there.

"Well, then I\'ll hang up first, I have something to do."

"Okay."

Seeing the communicator replying to the original picture, Li Lai took a breath and his expression became firm.

Small town, sorry.

He drilled out of the stone crack and continued to look for clues around.

If you live to see people die, you want to see corpses. If you leave them in the wild and go back like this, he will probably have an uneasy conscience for the rest of his life.

The players didn\'t know the trouble Li Lai encountered. They drove the hover car, carefully avoiding all kinds of wild monsters, and stopped the car when they came to a low-lying place.

This time they went out to brush monsters, and they also broadcast live.

Someone in the forum has written down the route and made it into a strategy. These are the precious treasures of the second test players.

As a well-known figure in the game circle, professional players do not mind publicizing the strategy, and there are even those who are particularly active who will end up correcting some wrong operations.

After stopping the car, the players used branches and leaves as a cover. The car was not theirs and could not be put into the backpack.

The system distributes a vehicle package, and there are two places to store vehicles, but only in the bound state. This hover vehicle was lent to them by the army, and they have to be paid back later.

What\'s more, the car was tattered, and they didn\'t look down on it.

After burying the car, they moved cautiously in the jungle.

Finally able to push the blame!

Players are very excited, and it is more exciting to play the game or fight.

Players in the imperial city have experience in following the **** team, and they have also encouraged NPCs to help them kill monsters, so when they arrived in the wild, Xu Yuheng handed over the command to Qingyan.

Not all the Imperial City players came out, basically only the professional players of the team, the number of which was around 40.

As for other ordinary players, many are still offline. It is estimated that they have not been offline for too long, are stumped by things in life, or do not want to play games for a while.

The professional players are different. This is a job, and they have to do it if they don\'t want to.

More than a hundred people were divided into ten teams by Qingyan.

The game has done a good job in the voice system. The team can be divided into teams, and even the sound of the team channel can be temporarily blocked, so that it will not interfere with each other, and it can be maintained as a whole.

After dispersing, the players plunged into the sea like mud cows, and they didn\'t look very conspicuous in the huge field.

Soon a small team was eyeing a one-star beast.

Ten people can fight a one-star beast, and there is still room for it, but how to not attract a large group of helpers after pushing monsters is a problem that needs to be solved.

The ten players watched carefully, discussing in the team channel, they didn\'t know - there was someone watching them above their heads.

Far away in the dark room of the imperial palace, Xu Sili controls the flight monitor and observes the players through the monitor screen.

He also attaches great importance to players pushing monsters in the wild for the first time.

It can almost be guessed that this field will belong to the player in the future, and these interstellar beasts are also the player\'s experience value and materials.

Xu Sili had nothing to do, so he watched the "live broadcast" of the players to see if this group of people could be called the "fourth natural disaster".

Outside the protective barrier, the interstellar beasts all act together. They are in groups of three and two, and they are not far from each other. Now we must find a way to divert the interstellar beasts one by one and break them one by one.

The first team, began to move.

A hundred meters away from them, there was a group of star beasts that looked like rhinos.

According to the information obtained from Li Lai before, this one-star beast called rhinoceros is a herbivore, and its movements are relatively slow, but its collision ability is excellent.

The huge horn on top of their heads is enough to knock down a century-old tree. Anyway, with the players\' blood volume, they will definitely hang after wiping their skin.

Between the low bushes, a rhinoceros roamed leisurely, tearing the grass on the bushes.

Its eyes are red, and although it is herbivorous, it does not mean it is mild-tempered.

At this time, a small stone flew over from a bush not far away and hit its head straight.

For the thick-skinned rhinoceros, this one-shot attack doesn\'t do much damage, but it\'s enough to anger it.

It bowed its head, the white turbid air spewed out of its nostrils, then growled angrily, and charged towards the zebra beast not far from the rhinoceros herd.

This unexpected attack directly knocked the spotted beast flying.

Lying in the grass in the opposite direction, the player responsible for attracting monsters watched this scene, and many question marks appeared above their heads.

It\'s uncle, is this rhinoceros blind?

It was obviously a stone thrown from its front, why did it run to attack the zebra beast behind its butt?

And, it\'s not over yet.

I saw that after the spotted beast was hit and flew, it didn\'t die. The two of them struggled on the ground and stood up shaking their heads.

Then it looked at the rhinoceros, and its eyes were red.

"Ow, ooh—" It raised its head and howled, calling friends and calling friends, and then gathered a large group of spotted beasts, all of which rushed towards the rhinohorn beast, with a posture of tearing the rhinohorn beast to pieces.

Seeing this scene, the irritable rhinoceros was not stupid. It turned around and ran away. Following the roaring footsteps, another footstep sounded immediately - it turned out that the rhinoceros group saw that someone was bullying the door and also organized to participate. fight.

The ferocious interstellar beasts collided with each other, flying all over the sky, and smashing their heads into blood.

The player lying in the grass still had a stone in his hand. He watched this scene from a distance, his mouth wide open, and he was dumbfounded.

And Xu Sili, who was observing with the monitor, was a little surprised when he saw what happened.

Star beasts...

More brutal than he imagined.

This is still on the plains, and the danger is much lower than that in the jungle, but who can resist this way of doing things in groups?

but…

Now there are players!

"Iori, 666, why did you make a big fight scene?"

"The eight gods are awesome! As expected of you!"

"Hahahaha I\'m **** laughing to death, a murder case caused by a stone! 6666" The player called Iori lied on the grass and rolled his eyes when he listened to his teammates\' jokes on the channel.

He is a dark martial artist, and he is a good lurker, and the fight between the two groups of interstellar beasts can\'t affect him.

"Captain, what should we do now?" he asked in a low voice on the channel.

After being engaged in this way, the players of other teams are not very easy to act, because other types of interstellar beasts also participated, and the scope of this nonsensical "fight" is gradually expanding.

"Mix the water." At this moment, Qingyan\'s voice sounded in the team channel.

This is the team leader\'s authority, and even players who have temporarily blocked the team\'s voice can hear it.

"Even if we die, we can still be resurrected on the spot."

Qingyan said, "Team mode, gained experience points, there are two factors that affect the most - output damage ranking, and lethal damage to monsters."

"For example, with the last blow, the experience value gained will be doubled."

Qingyan licked her lips, "The current big melee mode is beneficial to us. Find an opportunity to make up for the knife. When the melee is over, the bodies of these interstellar beasts will also be a great wealth."

Relying on them to grind through them one by one, how long will it take to empty the blood of these one or two star beasts? What\'s more, these beasts also like to get together and act.

Such a big melee is a good opportunity to grab experience and grab the head!

Qingyan is more crazy than others, and such an exciting scene will only make her excited.

"Iori, go and create more murders."

"There are other dark martial artists, you can also learn from the eight gods, remember, the more chaotic here, the greater our chances!"

Everyone thought about it and felt that it was the same.

Anyway, if you die, you can still be resurrected on the spot, that is, you have to wait for an hour and a half. As long as you do enough damage before you die, you can get experience points.

Give it a try, bike for motorcycle!

fuck him!

Gambling is not lacking for everyone, especially when the benefits are large enough and their losses are within the tolerance range.

All the players were excited, including the "God Comes" Iori.

After Qingyan\'s order, he turned into a shadow again, and moved further to the direction of Lanyue City. He was looking here, but the interstellar beasts who were not ready to participate moved over.

Although excited, they did not lose their minds.

If they provoke powerful interstellar beasts from a distance and collide with the guardian circle of Lanyue City, then they will still apologize for their sins.

Cloud players watching live broadcasts, apart from film and television works, when have they seen such a big scene?

Other online games, like this large-scale scene, get disconnected every minute, not to mention various delays and dropped frames, and when they observe the live broadcast, they can obviously feel the same smoothness as usual.

"This game is too awesome! When will the game helmet be released? I want to play it!"

"The public beta will have to wait at least next year, isn\'t there a second beta?"

"Fuck, let\'s just open the game! I want to play, but they\'ve killed all the monsters, so let\'s have a fight in the future?"

"I ask weakly, isn\'t Star Era the game mechanics very unfriendly? Why do you all want to play so much?"

"Aren\'t you watching the live broadcast, big brother? Are you not excited when you see this picture? Don\'t listen to the brainwashing packages issued by those marketing accounts. You must be able to judge by yourself."

"Yeah, it\'s just a test now, what the hell? It\'s not a public test. Even if there are still bugs and bugs, the public test can be updated and improved! This is an epoch-making holographic online game!"

I don\'t know if it\'s a sailor or a sincere questioner. Anyway, as soon as the words came out, they were sprayed by various cloud players and dared not speak any more.

There are indeed a lot of brainwashing packs of Star Era on the Internet, but Star Era’s basic game in the game circle is stable, and even because of this wave of smears, more people know about this game.

It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and a wave of advertisements was made in disguise.

Looking at the game again, the player who attracted the monsters successfully angered two interstellar herds.

Watching the four interstellar beast herds attack each other, and even the ground trembled, the players who attracted the monsters were not only not afraid, but continued to go further afield to find trouble.

[Player [Qingyan] deals a fatal blow to [Rhinoceros lv10], and the experience value is doubled]

[Player [Daylight] assists in killing [Spotted Beast lv11]…]

【…】

A message reminded to refresh in the team channel, and it soon reached the level of refreshing the screen.

Players continue to level up, and players continue to be killed or trampled by interstellar beasts because they cannot dodge in time.

Arnako hid in a tree and shivered while broadcasting live.

She is a water player, and the only skills she has learned are water healing and water mist. Except for the auxiliary role, she has no aggressiveness, and naturally she didn\'t think about grabbing monsters from below.

However, her level is very high among the players, there are 12 levels.

Because she was a water healer, Li Lai and other NPCs took special care of her during the escort, and she could gain experience by using the water healing technique successfully, which made her a lot.

Now looking at the big melee below, she was timid by nature and didn\'t even think about going down to join in the fun.

"Anazi, don\'t be a coward, Dad will send you a rocket launcher, go down and rush! Don\'t be a coward!"

"Hahaha, I just like to see A Caizi so cowardly."

"Stroking Caitou, don\'t listen to their nonsense, just hide in the tree and watch the fun."

"Speaking of which, Nanako, zoom the camera closer to the right, wow, there are two handsome players there!"

Anako blinked, seeing this request, she looked at the battlefield on the right with some curiosity.

That\'s where the war started, and it was the most intense battle, because the smell of blood was the heaviest, and the interstellar beasts were all inspired to be fierce.

Of course, rhinoceros are inherently fierce.

In this chaotic battlefield, two graceful figures shuttled through it, and in a few rounds they harvested a dying striped beast, and the light of upgrades continued to rise from them.

Xu Sili also recovered from this divine development early, and noticed these two figures.

It\'s impossible not to notice, because one of them is his second brother Xu Yuheng.

He was wearing cyan clothes, and the glasses on the bridge of his nose made him look gentle, but the sternness in his eyes, his calmness and ruthlessness in the face of interstellar beasts, made him absolutely afraid to see him clearly. .

Turquoise wind elements gathered around him.

He moved sideways in midair, and the long sword in his hand kept stabbing out, making up for the knife or attacking the weak spot of the star beast, causing one by one crit damage.

And beside him, there is a young man wearing a hemp yellow clothes.

He was also blessed with a body lightening technique, and he cooperated tacitly with Xu Yuheng. During the action, he played with the ivy technique and the dagger in his hand.

This is definitely high fun!

And it\'s not high play in the traditional sense.

Like traditional mobile game online game players, they have game awareness and are ahead of other ordinary players, but in holographic games, only game awareness is not enough.

That can only help you pass the level faster and find the correct strategy faster, but participating in the battle often tests your motor nerves and combat awareness.

Like Xu Yuheng and Bai Feng, although they only have level 5—of course they are more than that now, but they can achieve a record that other lv10 imperial city players may not be able to complete.

"Ah, ah, Jade God is so handsome!"

"Fuck, I didn\'t expect the Jade God to fight so hard when he looked at the gentleman."

"Who is the one who cooperated with him? It\'s so good, it\'s like watching a martial arts movie."

"Fengshen! Yu Siqing\'s deputy head is also very good!"

Xu Sili couldn\'t see the barrage, but he felt that if this scene was recorded and transmitted to the forum, the second brother would probably attract a lot of fans.

That\'s fine too.

After all, the second brother set up a mercenary group, and to get his reputation out, he can recruit more masters in the future. As for whether the second brother has the intention to run the mercenary group well...

Let\'s talk about this.

Xu Sili thought so, and his eyes were quickly attracted to other places.

Not far from his second brother, a shadow quietly approached, and then under his gaze, the shadow transformed into a hand, holding a laser gun and firing a bullet secretly.

Xu Yuheng inserted a sword into the head of a striped beast, ending its life. However, after the interstellar beast fell to the ground, the experience point reminder he received was—

[Assist to kill [Zebo Beast lv10], gain experience...]

Auxiliary kills?

He frowned, had no time to think about it, and continued to fight.

However, Xu Yuheng finally became vigilant when he was prompted for an auxiliary kill for the third time. He realized - "Ding Dong -" At this time, his communication device sounded a message reminder sound.

Xu Yuheng blinked, who would use the communicator to contact him at this time? Is it the fifth?

While manipulating the wind element, he evaded the attack of the star beast like a leaf, and glanced at the communication device.

[Anonymous]: (333, 158), someone grabbed the monster.

Seeing this message, Xu Yuheng\'s heart moved, and he was almost hit by a rhinoceros beast while distracted.

He hurriedly used the flying technique to fly into the air.

anonymous…

Besides Xiaoli, who else would give him this kind of news? Also bring the coordinates.

so…

Is Xiaoli in Lanyue City? Just looking at him nearby? Or did Xiao Wu send him the message?

Xu Yuheng thought one question after another, but he knew that now was not the time to think about it.

Someone grabbed the monster and grabbed his three heads!

How can this be tolerated?

His temper is not very good, and he is very dissatisfied with the fact that he has worked hard to remove a trace of blood, but was finally robbed.

So as soon as he turned around, he killed the coordinates sent by Anonymous.

Because of his vigilance, he saw the shadow hiding in the grass with his sharp eyes, and a hand with a gun popped out from the shadow, and the muzzle was facing Bai Feng.

Obviously, the person who grabbed the monster saw that he didn\'t move, and hit Bai Feng again.

Xu Yuheng pursed his lips, and there was a trace of anger in his black eyes.

He raised his long sword and flew towards the shadow quickly.

The shadow also found him, and the shadow quickly abandoned Bai Feng\'s monster and fired a shot in Xu Yuheng\'s direction.

Xu Yuheng ducked to the side and easily avoided the laser bullet, but although he was unscathed, his speed was inevitably reduced.

This is clearly the purpose of that shadow.

When Xu Yuheng was dodging, the shadow had quickly put away the laser gun and was squirming towards the deeper jungle at full speed, and he was about to run away.
