The lord is red again

In a hidden valley in the Land Kingdom.

A barren mountain range with dead trees.

The clawed rocks seemed to be attached to the vines of an invisible tree, winding and growing upwards, opening their "claws" at the top in a magical way, like arms reaching out from the abyss.

The sky was clear, and the sun fell on people but they didn't feel warm.

The air was quiet, with only the sound of feet stepping on dead branches

"Crack, crack"

"Don't push! I can walk!"

Three people were tied up and pushed forward.

Two men and one woman, dressed in standard white shorts.

Behind the three people, there were several weirdos covered in black cloaks. Occasionally, pale hands stretched out from under the cloaks looked like vampires who had not seen the sun for many years, so white that they were creepy.

"Where are you sending us?" the man at the back asked, his voice a little excited.

The man in front said, "It's spicy, of course, it's a sacrifice."

"Romantic Eater, what's wrong with you?" The man behind asked in a not-so-repressed voice when he saw the girl walking forward with her head down.

"I'm so hungry." Romantic Eater pouted: "I'm losing weight in real life. People say the taste system in the game is very good. I wanted to come in and eat myself to death, but who knew I'd be caught and kept walking. I'm almost starving to death."

"We were escorted because of our special bodies." The man behind shook his head. Although he knew that the two companions in front couldn't see his movements, and he was even kicked for this movement, he didn't show any expression: "It's a hidden plot, do you know."

"I want to eat"

"What do you want to eat? You're distracted while playing games!... Stop kicking me, I've tolerated you for a long time!"

Another round of punches and kicks.

The team fell silent again.

They passed through a very long mountain road. The sun's light was blocked by the rugged mountains. The shadow on the back of the mountain was like a big blanket, covering the top of their heads at an angle.

Where the light doesn't reach, nothing can be seen.

Several people in the escort team lit torches, and the swaying flames illuminated the way ahead.

After walking in the dark for a while, they finally arrived at their destination.

A dilapidated church.

The church lost its roof, and the statue of the "Evidence of the Sun" had long been kicked down, and turned into a temporary stone bench for padding the buttocks.

The densely grown weeds clung to the sculpture of the Dragon Knight, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and wove a set of green scarves covered with barbs for the dragon under its crotch.

A cage was placed on a small piece of cleared space, and after the three undead entered, the cage was locked.

"Ace Aimu, you are still stubborn, what should we do?" Romantic Eater finally asked questions other than eating when facing two friends he met temporarily.

Being escorted as a prisoner all the time, no matter how fun the game is, it will be boring.

If it weren't for the strong sense of immersion, she would definitely log off.

The cost of playing so far is too high, and Romantic Eater is also curious about what will happen.

But if what she got in the end disappointed her, she would definitely curse the game planner for not having enough to eat every meal, and every time she wanted to eat meat secretly, she would be discovered by her mother, and she would completely become a herbivore eating salad without salad dressing.

"The next one must be a hidden plot!" Still stubbornly acted in accordance with his ID: "I guess someone will give us a task in a while, and we can join as long as we complete the task."

"Join them? They don't look like good people." Romantic Eater hesitated: "I watched the video on the official website, and several novice villages are richer than here. At least the houses have roofs. I won't go hungry for nine meals in three days if I follow them."

"This is a gathering, a secret gathering!" Still stubbornly thought that the girl in front of him had a problem with her thinking: "Hidden tasks are like this, right, Ace Aimu?"

"I'm a hen, I came here to play games, and it's OK."

"Cousin, your accent is a bit heavy." Still stubbornly chatting with a smile: "I heard that you all drink raw Coke over there?"

"My Penis will glow."

"Haha!" Romantic Eater laughed.

When she found that the two were looking at her, she pursed her lips and pulled the corners of her mouth down, trying to make a sad expression.

(ω)

"Hengchi--Hengchi--"

Hairs trembled.

It's hard to hold back laughter.

The optimism of the three did not affect the actions of the group of people outside.

They gathered together and sang goosebumps softly around a bonfire.

I couldn't understand it, but the tone was very strange.

Until--boom!

A ball of blood-red flame appeared out of thin air.

"I said it! I said it!" She was still excited.

The investment of the past two days paid off.

A man in a black robe came over, opened the chain and dragged Ace Aimu out.

"Handsome boy, congratulations!" She was still smiling and envious, but he also knew that everyone must have this kind of "plot" and it would be his turn soon.

The blood-red flame fell from the sky and swallowed [Ace Aimu].

"Ah--!" Screamed.

The flame returned to the sky, growing a little stronger, but Ace Aimu disappeared.

"What happened?" The smile on his face froze.

The situation seemed different from what he imagined?

Soon, Romantic Eater and Ace Aimu received a private message from Ace Aimu.

Ace Aimu: [I died directly. Not only did I lose experience, but I also dropped a level. I played for three days in vain. Damn it! ]

"I'm going offline!" Romantic Eater was very decisive, and then she said with a sad face: "You can't quit during the battle."

The prison door opened again.

This time it was Romantic Eater who was dragged out.

She stood there with her eyes closed, waiting for the judgment from the blood-red flame.

It turned out that this was not a judgment at all, nor was it a selection of "qualified" candidates, but a simple sacrificial activity, and the three undead were sacrifices.

Seeing [Romantic Eater] disappear in his eyes, he was really anxious.

Romantic Eater sent a private message: [The game seems to have been updated to 1.02! I am now in the wilderness and should be teleported to a nearby gathering place. You die quickly]

Hearing this, he was still looking at the blood-red flame in the sky with anticipation.

Death is indeed the most cost-effective, because he is not high-level and has little experience, and he has wasted three days.

"Come on!"

But the weird cultists did not take action and were still singing.

Romantic Eater: [I was teleported to the Star Dragon Outpost. Wow, equipment is given as soon as I come up? ]

Ace Aimu: [I'm at Star Dragon Post. Where were you teleported to, brother? Maybe we can play dungeons together in the future]

Zheng Zheng: ...

I'm not dead yet.

Finally, as he was looking forward to it, the blood-red flames devoured him.

"Ah?" After resurrecting, Zheng Zheng was stunned.

He was not in the gathering place or camp, but in a wilderness... It seemed to be the place where he died and resurrected last time.

Could it be that he was with those cultists just now, and the game thought he was in a gathering place, so he didn't teleport away?

Facing the concern of two netizens he just met, Zheng Zheng replied: [I'm lucky. Although we didn't teleport together, I will take you if we have a chance to play together in the future]

Ace Aimu: [Thank you, big guy]

Romantic glutton: [ω]

Looking at the wilderness in front of him, Zheng Zheng let out a sigh of relief.

He also wanted to go to Star Dragon Post.

However, he took off his game helmet first, and then sat in front of the computer to log in to the official website.

I just saw someone discussing Lind vs. Scavenger Princess. Most players are eager to learn Lind's skills.

He quickly typed on the keyboard and replied casually:

[I think it's normal. This kind of Scavenger Princess will definitely be an ordinary monster in the later stage. It's not worth mentioning at all. It's not as good as me. I'm about to learn magic. Isn't it more handsome than this kind of rough guy? ]
