It wasn't strange that there were players.
After all, the number of players in the game was probably in the hundreds of millions.
This could be seen from the name of the Novice Village.
What was strange was why the players came to Liang Mountain.
One had to know.
Since the players had arrived, the former Liang Mountain Stronghold and the current Sky Origin Sect had destroyed three Novice Villages in a row. If resurrection was counted as one life, then the number of players who had died at the hands of the Sky Origin Sect was probably in the hundreds of thousands.
Under such circumstances.
Qin Shujian didn't believe that these players were not afraid of the Sky Origin Sect.
If it was a large group of players, it would be fine.
He could still think that there were some daring players who had come to form a team to clear the dungeon.
But there was only one person.
What was the difference between that and death?
After pondering for a while, Qin Shujian asked, "How strong is the Mutant?"
"He should be at the sixth or seventh stage of the Basic Martial Realm. However, if he could be killed by me with one palm, then he shouldn't have exceeded this range," Liu Er answered truthfully.
Speaking of which …
He paused for a while before continuing, "However, the Mutant just now seemed a little different from the other Mutants. His tone was somewhat polite, and I didn't feel any killing intent from him."
Although there wasn't any killing intent …
The Mutant had been killed with one palm.
However, Liu Er still thought that this matter should be reported to Qin Shujian.
When Qin Shujian heard this, his expression changed slightly.
No evil intent?
This didn't conform to the way players did things.
He thought of something and said slowly, "If more Mutants come and there aren't many of them, don't be in a hurry to act. Observe the situation. If there are too many of them, kill them directly."
"Yes!"
Liu Er replied respectfully.
Immediately after …
He turned and left.
Qin Shujian had an indescribable expression as he recalled what Liu Er had said.
All this time …
He had thought that Liang Mountain Stronghold was equivalent to a dungeon that players had cleared. He himself was equivalent to the dungeon's guardian BOSS. There was no possibility of reconciliation between him and the players.
However, looking at the situation now, it seemed that there was a slight discrepancy with his expectations.
Qin Shujian didn't know.
Was this something that he hadn't noticed before, or was this change caused by the Sky Origin Sect's promotion to the True Dominion?
"The game has been updated?
Or did something happen that I don't know? "
Several thoughts flashed through Qin Shujian's mind.
He was not a local NPC. His previous self had experience as a player, so he was especially sensitive to these changes.
However, a guess was just a guess. It couldn't be taken seriously.
At this moment.
Qin Shujian suddenly had the urge to understand the players.
For example.
Which world did the player come from? Was it the world of his previous life or some other foreign world?
Or perhaps.
Who was the one who developed this game world?
Was he really just a virtual NPC, or was this a real world?
In his previous life, Qin Shujian couldn't remember when games had developed to such an extent. Even in his previous life, games were still controlled by the keyboard.
These things.
In the past, he didn't think too much about it because he didn't have much time to think about it. His mind was filled with ideas of how to get rid of the players.
Now that he had some free time and coincidentally encountered this matter, he had these thoughts.
Immediately.
Qin Shujian's expression became solemn.
If there was a GM in this game, then he should be considered an uncontrollable factor that took advantage of the game's BUG. If his actions were discovered to be wrong, what if his data were reconstructed or this character was directly deleted?
Would he cease to exist?
"However, if this is really the case, my previous few attacks on the village should have attracted attention. Unless the degree of freedom in this game is extremely high, and every NPC's actions have no fixed script."
Qin Shujian muttered to himself. Immediately, his eyes lit up.
"Perhaps — this game doesn't have a GM!"
"After all, rather than saying that someone developed such a realistic game, I'm more inclined to believe that this is a real world!"
The thing that could make him have such thoughts.
It was just because everything in the game was too realistic.
It was so realistic that the NPCs in the game were like living people with flesh and blood.
If it wasn't for the appearance of the players, and the data on the attribute panel, and the settings that could be refreshed and revived, Qin Shujian would have thought that this was a real world.
It was also because of this that he had so many guesses.
He suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
Qin Shujian decided not to think about this problem for the time being.
When the time was right in the future, he would take the opportunity to understand it.
"However, before that, I seem to have something that I haven't done!" Qin Shujian rubbed his chin with his palm. He flipped through the memories in his mind, trying to recall what he had missed.
To put it bluntly.
It was because he had too much free time during this period.
Everyone in Yuan Sect was busy with the matters of repair and reconstruction.
As the Sect Master, he couldn't do it personally. If he did, it would be a little degrading.
While he was bored.
Naturally, he wanted to find something to do.
"What exactly is it?"
Qin Shujian kept flipping through the memories, and he couldn't help but frown.
All of a sudden.
He took out a bronze token from his chest, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.
"I was wondering what I had forgotten. It turns out that it was about this unknown cave!"
Holding the bronze token in his hand, Qin Shujian finally remembered.
He remembered that when he had used the bronze token, the coordinates of the unknown cave had shown that it was in the Immortal Plains.
However, when he was about to explore it, the Undying Evil Lord had broken out of the seal, and the Demon Disaster had prevailed, causing this plan to be temporarily put on hold.
Later on, after killing the Undying Evil Lord and coming into contact with the Demon Disaster, he couldn't immediately recall it.
However.
Qin Shujian looked at the bronze token in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Now that I have nothing to do, I can take a look at this unknown cave. Maybe there will be some good opportunities."
He wasn't worried about any danger inside.
A cave that existed in the Ordinary Realm, he expected that its threat level wouldn't exceed the Basic Realm.
With his current level of Level Three True Martial Realm, he could directly soar to Level Eight False True Martial Realm in the Liang Mountain Real Dominion. He could go anywhere in the Liang Mountain Real Dominion.
He would do it as soon as he thought of it.
Qin Shujian's character had always been swift and decisive.
Soon, he called Zheng Fang over.
"I'm leaving the Yuan Sect and will be back in a day or two. If there's anything, I'll leave it to you."
Zheng Fang was now an expert at Level Two True Martial Realm.
In the entire Yuan Sect, other than him, the sect master, he was the strongest.
In addition, he was well-versed in the ways of the world. Qin Shujian was able to temporarily entrust the Yuan Sect to him, so he could rest assured.
Hearing this, Zheng Fang replied respectfully, "I'll follow the sect master's orders!"
He didn't ask too much.
Even though he was now an expert of the True Martial Realm, he didn't overstep in front of Qin Shujian.
Seeing his attitude, Qin Shujian nodded to himself.
After a simple explanation, he directly left.
As for Qin Shujian's departure.
No one wantonly announced it, and no one deliberately concealed it.
It was just so natural.
Everything in the Yuan Sect was still going according to plan.
— —
The Immortal Plains wasn't far from the Liang Mountain boundary.
With the speed of a True Martial Realm expert, it would take less than an hour to travel at full speed.
However, Qin Shujian wasn't in a hurry, so there was no need to be too anxious.
Walking on the wilderness road, there were weeds and lush trees everywhere.
Whoosh!
A black shadow pounced out from the bushes and directly blocked his path.
When Qin Shujian looked over, he saw a tiger with white eyes, a white forehead, and the word "Big King" on its forehead. It was staring at him with bared teeth, saliva dripping from its sharp fangs.
He was looking at the tiger.
The tiger was also looking at him.
To tell the truth.
It wasn't that Qin Shujian hadn't seen a tiger before. At least on the Lion Tiger Plain, there were many tigers. However, it was his first time coming into contact with one at such a close distance.
At this moment.
The white tiger with drooping eyes paced back and forth on the spot, but its eyes never left Qin Shujian, as if it was looking for a point of attack.
Qin Shujian's eyes focused. His pitch-black eyes were like sharp knives. Then, there seemed to be a shocking tiger roar, shaking hundreds of birds and causing them to fly away.
Awoo!
The white tiger's heart suddenly trembled, as if it had seen something terrible. It directly turned around and ran away with its tail between its legs.
Qin Shujian, however, continued to walk forward slowly. He had no intention of chasing after them.
How much life source could a tiger provide?
For his current number of thousands, the life source provided by this kind of beast was not even a hair from nine oxen.
Encountering the white tiger on the road was just a small interlude.
Qin Shujian didn't take long to arrive at the edge of Liang Mountain.
Further ahead.
It was the range of the Immortal Plains.
There was no need to hesitate.
Qin Shujian directly stepped forward and entered the Immortal Plains.
The Undead Demon Lord had broken out of the seal. The demon disaster had already killed all the creatures in the Immortal Plains and turned them into a member of the demon disaster.
The current Immortal Plains.
It wasn't a place of death, but it was definitely a place where no human or animal survived.
"The erosion of demon qi is really tyrannical. Wherever the demon disaster passes, it's a place of death!" Stepping on the black ground, Qin Shujian also sighed in his heart.
Even if the Evil Demon was dead now.
But this land that had been eroded by the demon qi had long been cut off from life.
The black soil that was filled with death aura was the most direct symbol.
Only after a long period of time and allowing the spirit energy of heaven and earth to wash it away would it be possible to expel the demon qi bit by bit, allowing this area to regain its vitality.
Or else …
This place would probably become a forbidden area where no life could set foot in.
Subsequently.
Qin Shujian took out the bronze token again. After sensing the exact location of the unknown cave, he put it away.
Next.
A powerful impact erupted from his feet, and his body flew straight over like a flying bird. In the blink of an eye, he had opened a distance of more than ten feet.
After entering the Immortal Plains.
Feeling the deathly stillness of this area.
Qin Shujian didn't want to stay any longer.
It wasn't that he was afraid.
It was just that the deathly stillness of this area made people very uncomfortable.
After staying for a long time.
It affected his mood.
