The Age of Machines

Chapter 520 Difficulties
Soon, it will be tomorrow.

According to the scheduled time, Beixi and the others arrived at [Storm Wind Village] safely under the leadership of Ningmeng and met with Rashomon.

"Oh~"

"In other words, Crocodile is among those hurricanes?"

Beixi fiddled with the binoculars, wondering if he could see the looming buildings clearly through the tornado, but except for the minaret, other places seemed to be impossible to see through sight.

Rashomon nodded behind her, and said softly, "It should be like this."

Few of the Apelas players actually set foot inside. Although they said Crocodile was inside, they hadn't really entered after all.

Rashomon actually suspected that even if they passed the storm, they might not arrive at Crocodile.

Bei Xi was a little puzzled, and turned around to ask the group of people behind him.

"Have these tornadoes always existed?"

Everyone looked at each other, and the rabbit with a pocket watch stepped out of the crowd and said: "A year ago, after Apelas players generally reached level 60, they began to discover the existence of this area one after another. At that time, there were these storms. Occasionally there will be magma~ "

"I remember once, there was a Rolling Stone." Ningmeng said immediately.

When Ah Xiao heard it, he felt strange, and asked excitedly: "Is there magma? Is there a volcano in it?"

The rabbit with the pocket watch carefully looked at the blonde Zhengtai in front of him. Is this Beixi's apprentice? It feels like, um, why does he have such a cute appearance.

"It's hard to say... We haven't really gone in." Hoshino raised his eyes and thought about it. In fact, they didn't know the real situation inside.

"Then how do you know that the building inside is Crocodile?" A Xiao blinked and asked naively.

The pocket watch rabbit opened his mouth, this kid, he got the point.

"How should I put it. Apelas players will more or less receive quests about Crocodile from the city lord."

"All the clues and the final coordinates point here, don't they?" Beixi took the rabbit from the pocket watch.

The silver-haired girl paused, looked directly at Beixi with a little admiration, and then nodded. "That's right. In the end, everyone was guided by the mission to come here, but they got nothing and died many times. They almost gave up the mission in the end."

Sitting cross-legged on the rock, Beixi stared at the distant buildings and began to think deeply.

Wei Shengmo glanced at everyone, and said lazily: "What are most of the tasks?"

Banlong held the sword and observed Weishengmo without any trace.Although this god-level thief who was rumored by players in the imperial capital was right in front of him, it would be difficult to detect his existence unless he was not carefully captured.

His perception is not weak, but it is difficult to find the microscopic ink when he is distracted.When he finds someone again, he suddenly realizes, oh, so the person has been there all along...

What a horrible man.

"There are a lot of investigation tasks. Some players have also taken over the task of cleaning up mobs, but they can't get in at all..."

"Is there anything about monsters?"

Monster?
The pocket watch rabbit was stunned.

"Isn't that true?" Hoe Heri rubbed his chin in the afternoon, raised his head and thought for a while, "It seems not."

"some."

Beixi's eyes fell on the rabbit with the pocket watch. The girl's appearance is easy to attract people's love and affection, and she is charming.But there is a huge contrast between the eyes and the appearance.

This female player reminded Beixi of civet cats.

She is equally firm, with a proud heart hidden deep in her eyes, she is definitely not what she looks like.The appearance of a white rabbit, the temperament of a wild cat.

The pocket watch rabbit was shocked. Beixi's gaze seemed to penetrate directly into his heart, and he would be attracted to her when he looked at her unconsciously.

"Are there any monsters?" Beixi didn't have any malice, and smiled lightly, and all the suppression instantly dissipated.

The pocket watch rabbit came back to his senses, and said uncomfortably: "That was the only time when there was a black sandstorm in this area." This man can suppress people invisible.

Beixi raised her hand, put her elbow on her leg, and rested her chin on the pocket watch rabbit, showing an interested smile. "Tell me."

Beixi's eyes were slightly teasing, as if seeing through her thoughts, the pocket watch rabbit blushed, and was speechless for a while.

Beixi seldom let her hair down, she often tied her hair high behind her head, and wore a suit of handsome equipment. Her style was extremely clean and neat, and she was even more handsome than some men.

Rashomon shook his head and laughed, "President."

Bei Xi looked up at him, only to hear Rashomon say again: "Stop teasing her."

"Oh."

Wei Shengmo looked at Beixi with a deep expression on his face, and then at the rabbit on his pocket watch.In some ways it is like, in some ways it is not.In this case, if it was a raccoon cat, it would definitely come back from molesting.

But that look is good.

"Luo Sheng, being flirtatious occasionally is also the fun of the game."

Rashomon smiled gently, neither rebutting nor agreeing. "President, it's important."

Wei Shengmo couldn't help raising his eyebrows, looking at Beixi.

Why didn't you see Beibei flirting with me?
Beixi folded her arms, staring at Rashomon in deep thought.

He also looked at Beixi seriously, his smile remained the same, as if he was still the gentle-tempered Rashomon.

This man is getting more serious in some respects.

Beixi sighed: "Okay, business~"

The pocket watch rabbit also recovered his mood at this time, looked at Beixi and continued: "After the black sandstorm appeared, there was a vision in Apelas. Later, the task given by the city lord was to trace the source of the vision. During the dialogue, the city lord said In a word, [the holy brilliance is about to be buried in Crocodile]."

"Rabbit, was it the time when the sky kept showing black clouds?"

The pocket watch rabbit nodded, it was that time.

For 5 consecutive days, black clouds occupied the entire sky of Apelas.They only thought that there was a problem with Crocodile, affecting the city center.

Never thought about it.

"Apelas, there has been no mission about monsters." Ningmeng said.

Not nothing, maybe it's just that no player here triggers.And Crocodile is the key!
"Is one day enough?" Rashomon couldn't help worrying about their national competition.

"Let's stay here until the system sends out a notification. I will let Fan arrange other things."

Having said that, Beixi tapped his fingers on the rock, "Did any of you escape this stormy forest safely?"

"Yes, but the method is not very safe."

"And even if you dodge it, you will die in mid-air due to insufficient blood when you reach that area."

Beixi: ...

"Did you fly there?"

A few people looked at the sky, in fact, someone tried this method at that time, and they did try it.But that consumes too much, and rich people can afford it.

"It's in Apelas. There are many types of props. The better ones can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins, and the cheaper ones can be sold for one gold coin or even a few silver coins. Among them is a flying machine similar to a mount. The five thousand gold coins each It is sold in the grocery store in Stormwind Village...it feels like a prop for going to Crocodile." Hoshino couldn't help showing a wry smile when he said this.The price is too scary~
"Is the Great God going to take a look?"

Beixi shook his head, looking at the pocket watch Rabbit and Banlong. "You all planned to use that method to get in from the beginning?"

The pocket watch rabbit shrugged, "There will always be a way. Hoshino's words don't feel right."

Sakalong nodded and replied: "We haven't looked around yet. Although it's for a mission this time, we don't have much hope."

Beixi raised her eyebrows and stared at him. "What is your mission?"

"Explore the vision."

"How much experience is rewarded?"

Banlong frowned, "30."

"Fuck, 30?" Hoshino was taken aback.How can a scouting mission experience be so high?
Hearing this, Bei Xi couldn't help but look up and exchange a glance with Wei Shengmo.This Crocodile must be a very important map, otherwise the system would not issue such missions to the players again and again, and the experience gradually increased.

Because of Beixi's own reputation, he was able to receive more advanced tasks and knew more about Crocodile.

There are monsters, and the map has natural damage. Crocodile should not be just a simple copy map.There may also be clue tasks related to the Dark Chronicle.

No wonder the coordinate map is hidden.

And it happens that the average level of players in this area reaches around level 60 before it automatically appears for players to discover.There must be something tricky here.After all, the main missions of the player at the beginning are all related to monsters.

"Such a high level of experience is not normal." Rashomon thought, this mission was received by Banlong from Bresoma City. With such a high level of experience, it should be related to the main storyline.

"It doesn't matter whether it's normal or not." Beixi got up, jumped off the rock, swept everyone around, and said: "Now what we should consider is how to get inside."

how to get in
This is a world problem.

"It's definitely not possible to fly in." After all, the tornado has a wide range of damage, and the density of wind blades in the air is higher than that on the ground.

"Amo, what do you think?"

Wei Shengmo was silent for a moment, and only said: "Need to try."

Finally, after discussing with everyone, Beixi and Weishengmo decided to go to the area closer to the tornado area to investigate, and they scattered around to see if there was any special place.

"Master~"

"Ah Xiao, follow your brother Luo Sheng."

After setting up his apprentice, Weishengmo and Beixi left one after another.Seeing the two leaving, the crowd did not dare to waste time and took action one after another.

The two ran for a certain distance, Weishengmo stopped on the rock, Beixi jumped off the mechanical wolf, and the two reached a hundred meters away from that area in a few minutes.

The strong wind whistled in my ears. Even though there were still a hundred meters to go, I could already feel the terrifying power that could easily tear people apart.

"What do you think?" Bei Xi put on the windproof glasses and looked up at Wei Shengmo who was standing there. The man didn't say a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Natural damage doesn't always exist somewhere in a physical state."

Bei Xi tightened his robe, "Do you suspect it's an organ?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"The natural damage set by the system is the biggest threat to players. It warns players that even if monsters can be defeated, nature cannot be defeated."

This message is like saying to the player that you can transcend anything in the game, but you are limited to the mastermind.

"It's impossible to come up with such a difficult problem, and a mission must be specially issued for players to come and be abused."

The man stood firmly on the rock, unaffected by the strong wind.He bowed his head as if in deep thought, with his slender fingers casually placed on his waist, and the extra belt was messed up by the wind.

Talking to himself, it seems that he is thinking seriously.

Familiarize yourself with his thought patterns.

Beixi jumped on the silver wolf, raised his right hand high and opened his palm wide. The magic circle rotated in the palm of his hand, and golden metal worms flew out one after another. They dispersed and flew towards the huge tornado cage in just a second.

Beixi clicked on the interface and looked at the pictures they sent back.

"Is that the new scout mechanical beast?"

Wei Shengmo easily jumped off the rock and walked to Beixi.

Beixi nodded slightly, and explained: "It's the eggs produced by [Mechanical Golden Beetle], which is more convenient than mechanical ants."

"Is it a mechanical beast produced by a mechanical beast?"

"Well. Although it is somewhat similar to the bee mechanical beast body of Rashomon, the nature is still different. This is what I got when I was in the second round."

"The female worm produces ten eggs every half an hour. One egg can detect things within 30 meters, not only can go to the sky, but also can enter the ground."

"And there is no time and strength limit." Wei Shengmo answered.

Beixi curled his lips into a smile, "This is the biggest essential difference between me and Luo Sheng's scouting mechanical beast. As long as the mother keeps laying eggs, I can use endless scouting minions. The more time I accumulate, the more golden beetles I can use. more."

"Because Rashomon's occupation is different from mine, his detection mechanical beast is more distance and range."

Beixi controls the moving direction of the eggs, and through the connection with each other, Beixi began to carefully observe the pictures they sent back.

Wei Shengmo stood aside so as not to disturb her.

"Huh? What is this..."

Unsurprisingly, it did pay off.Wei Shengmo bent over, and Beixi adjusted the screen so that his teammates could see it, and the two of them watched something faintly glowing in those tornadoes.

"What is it?"

Beixi raised his head, and from a distance, he couldn't see anything inside.Controlling the eggs and worms to move forward, Beixi wanted to explore more.However, the moment the mechanical beasts touched the outer layer of the tornado, they were shattered, and the screen went black, making it impossible to see anything.

Beixi was quite regretful, "It seems that it will also cause great harm to the mechanical beast."

With a grasp of the palm, all the undamaged eggs were taken back.

"Is there a glow in every tornado?"

"Hmm." Rubbing his wrist, Beixi couldn't help thinking, and after a long time asked the man, "Could it be something that controls the tornado?"

"It may be a controller like a mechanism."

The two couldn't help but smile at each other, thinking of going together.

"But it needs to be confirmed. If it is really an agency, everything will be easy to handle."

How to prove it?
This is a difficult problem.Beixi's mechanical beast had no way to get close, so naturally it was impossible to rely on the mechanical beast to go in and explore the original appearance of that thing.

"It can be confirmed. For example, fly up to see..."

Bei Xi was taken aback for a moment, then thought of Hoshino's words.Then he glanced at Wei Shengmo, "Don't you want them to try?"

"Even if we don't mention it, there are naturally people who are willing to try."

After all, this map has troubled Apelas players for so long~
Beixi didn't refute, and his eyes fell on those tornadoes again.Obviously can't see anything...

What the hell is in there?
