At the same time.
Li Erpang, Ning You, and Xiao Chuer formed a team and farmed the monsters in the new leveling area.
They had been together for so long. Although they didn't like each other, this team configuration was very reasonable.
As Li Erpang's body grew bigger and bigger, his defense power became terrifyingly high. Behind him, he formed a "bond" with Divine Sword Susu. Li Erpang alone was fat, carrying a big shield in front of the other two, taunting and attracting the monsters' attention.
At the same level, the monsters' attacks were equivalent to tickling him.
One tank, two DPS. Farming monsters was very efficient.
Although Romiya didn't know the way, she recognized it here and there. They actually found the "white beach" that Romiya mentioned.
But when they really arrived at the "beautiful" white beach that Romiya mentioned, they were stunned at the same time.
As far as the eye could see, it was barren.
In the vast white sand, there was a pit about the size of Moonlight Village.
The pit was also covered with fine sand.
Not to mention people, there wasn't even a monster.
In the dry and hot climate, the rising heat caused the scenery in the distance to be slightly distorted, producing a light refraction phenomenon.
"How can it be?"
In the water bottle, Romiya looked at the "white beach" that was completely different from the one in her memory and was also stunned.
"Romiya remembers that the white beach was full of beautiful white shells."
"There was a clear lake here."
"The lake was full of red and white corals."
The mini Romiya lowered her head in the water bottle and whispered in a sad voice, "But why did they all disappear? The place where Kenai listened to Romiya's singing … "
Ning You listened silently and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Wait, you said that there were originally a lot of corals here?"
Xiao Chuer noticed that Ning You's tone was strange. "Is there something wrong?"
"Something is very wrong." Ning You frowned and said in a low voice, "In theory, corals are accumulated from the growth and death of a kind of aquatic creature called 'coral polyps' over a long period of time. Don't forget that the 'worldview' of this world is that the Giant Divine Beast is surrounded by a sea of clouds. "
"Although 'Sea of Clouds' has the word 'sea' in it, it's still clouds in essence. You always said that there was no need to delve into the game's settings, but a successful game's settings had to be logical and self-consistent. Otherwise, it would attract a lot of complaints. A successful game would put some effort into the world view. Even if it's a fantasy game, they would work hard to make the world view logically sound. "
Xiao Chuer understood Ning You's words. She slightly frowned and said, "You mean …"
Ning You sighed softly. "Either the game designer has already given up on reasoning with players. Or … "
"This place was once a sea! At the very least, it should be a lake. "
"…"
…
In the end, the three of them didn't find anything on the white beach.
However, they didn't come here to reap any rewards.
Seeing that the once white beach had turned into a land of death, Romia was in low spirits.
After finding this place, Ning You and the other two successfully found the village that Luo Miya had mentioned.
Since Romiya said that the village was full of salvage workers, it was easy to find them along the shore.
Yasim Village.
There was a small port in Yasim Village.
In the port, there were many small airships docked.
These airships could only accommodate a few people, and they weren't fast. These airships couldn't be used to travel between the giant divine beasts.
When Ning You and the others passed by the small port, they happened to see a small airship being salvaged from the sea of clouds.
The salvage workers wore equipment that looked like diving suits. On the round hood, there was a pipe connected to the airship.
The salvage workers relied on the pulling force generated by this pipe to enter the sea of clouds and salvage various relics sunk in the sea of clouds for a living.
"Excuse me, do you know Kenai?"
Ning You walked forward and asked.
Originally, the villagers looked at the three of them with vigilance.
However, when Xiao Chuer appeared, the villagers instantly became enthusiastic again.
When they heard that they knew Kenai, they happily and happily pointed the way for Xiao Chuer.
"… Your charm value is quite high."
Xiao Chuer smiled slightly proudly. "It's just so-so. I guess it's only two or three times that of an ordinary person."
"…"
In Yasim Village, there were few pedestrians on the road.
It seemed that most of them had gone out to sea to salvage.
As the three of them walked on the road, from time to time, they would pay attention to the NPC's forehead to see if there were any exclamation marks.
However, they didn't really want to farm some of the errands that rewarded small profits, so they simply went straight to "Kenai's house."
When they arrived at the place pointed out by the salvage workers, it was a small bungalow. It was estimated that Kenai's family environment was barely well-off and not too shabby.
An old woman in plain clothes was pushing a flatbed cart. With the help of the vivid illustrations on the flatbed cart, she was telling a story to the children around her with a smile on her face.
Ning You and the others walked forward.
"Once upon a time, there was a handsome salvage worker."
"One day, he met a mermaid …"
After approaching, the old woman's storyteller-like tone tirelessly told the story. Ning You and the others couldn't help but be stunned.
She was actually telling the story of a mermaid.
Originally, they wanted to go straight to the point and ask where Kenai was. However, when they found out that the old woman was actually telling the story of a mermaid, they all joined the children and quietly listened to the continuation of the illustrated story.
However, as they listened and listened … the expressions of the three changed.
At first, they were still in the mood of listening to a love story.
After all, this opening was a typical mermaid love story.
However, no one expected that the style of the story would suddenly change and become a thriller.
The old woman quickly switched to the next illustration.
In the illustration, there was a mermaid with a green face and fangs, scaring the little brats into screaming.
However, although the little brats were screaming, there wasn't much fear on their faces. It seemed that they had already heard this story more than once.
The story was very simple from beginning to end.
Once upon a time, there was a salvage worker who went out to sea to salvage and encountered a fish. Ah, no, a mermaid.
Mermaids would turn into foam and disappear if they left the water for too long, so the salvage worker was kind enough to save the mermaid.
Before that salvage worker met the mermaid, he already had a beautiful wife who was about to consummate their marriage. His life was blissful and he was about to step into the peak of his life.
However, after saving the mermaid, the handsome youth hid the mermaid on the white beach and ran out of the village every night to listen to the mermaid sing songs.
Really, it was just purely singing songs, the serious kind.
Later, the mermaid returned to her hometown.
It was as if the salvage worker was under a spell. He lost his appetite and became thinner day by day.
In the end … he died.
"No one can listen to the mermaid's songs. Once you hear it, you will become like that salvage worker and be fascinated! Oh, do you want to hear it? "
"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it!"
The children seemed to have already known about the old woman's scary routine, but they were really frightened. One by one, they covered their ears and scattered in a hubbub.
In Xiao Chuer's arms, Romiya listened to the sad story from beginning to end and patted the inside of the water bottle hard.
"No, no, Kenai … Kenai is still alive. He promised to come find me one day."
There seemed to be something wrong with this mission.
Ning You smiled bitterly and walked forward. "Excuse me, is Kenai at home?"
The old woman smiled and looked at the three of them. "Oh? Are you Kenai's friends? He went out to sea to salvage and will only come back at night. Why don't you come in and sit down? Kenai doesn't have many friends, so you can stay for dinner tonight. "
Fatty Li had been hungry for a long time, so he rushed to agree.
When Romiya heard that Kenai was fine, she immediately let out a sigh of relief and stopped making trouble in Xiao Chuer's arms.
Until night time.
"Oh no! Oh no! Kenai's mother, Kenai, Kenai, Kenai, their boat was attacked by the sea monster 'Kuragon'! "
What the f * ck?
Ning You and the other two, who were preparing to complete the mission in Kenai's house, were instantly stunned.
Should it be a coincidence? Or was the game's plot too melodramatic?
Of all the times to come, they just had to come, and something happened to Kenai?
Did the game producer have to be so ridiculous!
"Let go of that Kenai!"
In the Brave Team, the three slammed the table and stood up at the same time.
…
…
Fire God Mountain.
Along the mountain wall, the previous generation in the village of the fire source had built a stable plank road. It was not difficult to go up the mountain.
The plank road could accommodate three people. Kikyo walked in front with a bow on his back. Four strong villagers steadily supported the gorgeous bridal sedan, which was covered with flowers.
The rest of the villagers held up paper umbrellas and sang songs to send off the bride to the God of Fire.
If Irin did not know the background of the story in advance, she might have thought that it was a wedding procession.
As the group ventured deeper into Fire God Mountain, Li Nali, who had been silently biting her lips while sitting on the palanquin, turned paler and paler. Between her white and neat teeth and her round lips, there was a trace of blood because she bit too hard. It was like adding a touch of lipstick to the bride's makeup.
As the group went deeper, the style of the song gradually changed.
"Ai Yiya Yiya Yiya —"
The experienced villagers chimed in, as if they were weeping and complaining at the same time.
Irin felt that this procession was becoming less and less like a wedding procession, and more like a funeral procession.
However, the person who was sent away was still alive.
She was still sitting in the bridal sedan chair.
The bride's face turned paler and paler.
He looked like he was dead.
Li Lei sent his sister off. He gripped his spear so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.
Irin followed the procession steadily. No one noticed him, and no one knew about him. He was like a shadow.
His expression was calm as he witnessed everything with his own eyes. There was no joy or sorrow in his eyes, as if he was a passer-by.
Irin should not have cared about this.
After all, he had not received any missions so far.
Even if he ruined this "wedding procession," he would just be working for free.
There would be no experience points, no gold coins, no equipment, and no rewards.
What was the point?
Irin had been thinking about this question.
This was just a game.
He was just a "player" trapped in the game world.
Savior, hero, kind assassin, great engineer … All of his identities were just settings in the game. Everything was illusory.
But for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Whether it was the oppressive feeling of the ashes in the sky, or the young girl who was about to be sacrificed, or Kikyo who carried a longbow in front of the procession, or the sad and cold villagers of the Village of Firelands, everything made Irin feel uncomfortable.
Finally.
The procession followed the plank road and arrived at the mountainside.
There was a deep cave here.
Hot air came out from the cave. The closer they got to the cave, the more unbearable it felt as if their skin was being burnt.
"We have arrived."
Kikyo said calmly.
Li Nali, who was on the bridal sedan chair, was already pale. Her face was as white as a sheet of paper.
But she still gritted her teeth and silently staggered down from the bridal sedan chair.
The other villagers watched as the two of them entered the cave one after the other.
