Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

"It will be the same as usual. The shield guards will be in the front, the medical sniper will watch the shield guards, and the guards and I will wait for the opportunity to move."

Magic ZX nodded. He had been recording since he entered the copy.

Why is the Memory Crystal called the Memory Crystal? Because it was taken from a memory with an NPC. At that time, he was watching a game in the arena with Egg Knife, Egg Tart and Qiu Muyu. He only knew that the Black Knight was delayed for something, but he didn't expect it to be an assassination!

Looking at the mission introduction, it seems that the Pioneer will also help the Black Knight. What happened between the two and what kind of bond they formed have already made Magic ZX excited.

Not to mention Magic ZX, there are also many high-level players who are interested in this plot, and the vice-captains of the Dynasty Team, Cheng Wang Bai Kou and Yang Yan XF are no exception.

The locked door could be opened. Huang Tian Hou Tu opened the door and found that the corridor outside was not the corridor of a hotel-style apartment as he had imagined. Opposite them was a building in the distance, and the cold rain poured down on them again.

It was difficult for everyone to move in this long and narrow corridor, and at this moment, the door of the next room was pushed open.

That was the Black Knight! She was wearing a light outfit with only a shoulder guard on her shoulders and a long sword and weapon box on her back.

The black knight glanced at them, and Huang Tian Hou Tu, who was standing at the front, felt a chill in his face. When he came to his senses, he found that the royal sister was already slowly walking down the stairs.

What a terrifying fighting spirit! The Black Knight is not to be trifled with.

"Follow—"

Before he could finish his words, a long and thin sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the heavy rain.

The next second, the nurse who was walking at the end fell to the ground in the middle of her chest, and her body turned into white light and disappeared.

"Fuck! Is it a sniper or a crossbow? Get downstairs!" Huang Tian Hou Tu cursed loudly. These killers were so unsportsmanlike and had no moral principles. He thought he was watching an animation, but he didn't expect the assassination had already begun.

The group of people crowded down the stairs. Since the apartment was old, the stairs were built on the outside of the building, which exposed the players to the assassin's crossbows in 360 degrees. When they went downstairs, they found that there were only 19 people left in the team. Including the first medic who was shot dead, there were four unlucky guys who died on the stairs.

The Black Knight swung his sword in front of her, beheading some assassins who tried to engage in close combat with her. Huang Tian and Hou Tu had no time to summarize how they passed the previous level without getting hurt, and urged them repeatedly, "Protect the Black Knight, and the tanks should be on both sides. The Bull Demon's are all snipers, which is really disgusting!"

Winners and losers originally wanted to say that professional players will be fined if they swear, but then he thought that since they are playing in the game, it shouldn’t be a big deal if they swear, right?

Three heavily armored men stepped forward. Their shields were not the same size as their bodies, which meant they could not block all the arrows. However, their defense was relatively high, so they could withstand 56 arrows without any problem.

The winners and losers glanced at the medic behind him who was using all his strength to heal people. It was really an unlucky start. Three of the four healers in the team died, and the last one couldn't heal three more. Now they would all die here before the Black Knight's health dropped to 70%.

Huang Tian Hou Tu looked at the black knight in front of him and found that her health had only dropped by about 5% to 6%. At this pace, she should be able to survive!

This thought did not last long before the Heaven and Earth saw an arrow with a cold silver-blue light shooting towards the earth.

"What the hell—"

boom!

The explosion killed two tanks in the front, and that was not the worst. A steamroller flew up because of the explosion, flew over Huang Tian Hou Tu's head, and hit the player behind him heavily.

Suddenly, more than half of the 19 people's avatars turned gray, leaving only Huang Tian Hou Tu, Winners Take All, Magic ZX and Yang Yan XF standing. Dan Dao Dan Tart was one step behind and was sent away by a steamroller before he could even shout out Ora.

"Wozhi——"

"What kind of monster is this..."

The remaining players saw that the Black Knight's health had dropped to 85 percent. If he was attacked a few more times like this, the mission would fail.

Now it's no different from failure.

All the nurses in the team were killed, and the last T fell to the ground and turned into light. The guards and special forces naturally couldn't do anything and were shot and taken away by several arrows.

After a flash of white light, everyone left the Memory Crystal.

They were greeted by complicated faces.

"Fuck, this is so perverted. I don't even know how I died."

"This difficulty is too high. I doubt we can beat it even at level 25."

"We need to think about how to get down the stairs safely. We have to kill four squishy people on the stairs. If we start to lose people on the stairs, we won't be able to fight in the later stages."

Huang Tian Hou Tu thought for a long time, listening to the players' complaints, and after more than ten minutes, he spoke again, "The difficulty of this dungeon is indeed beyond imagination, but have you noticed two things?"

"First of all, the map of the Crystal World dungeon is very large. We can split into several teams. I believe this is the original intention of this dungeon. It is not just to protect the Black Knight. The dungeon requirement is only level 25. Most of us are above level 20, so it shouldn't be that difficult. But think about the explosive arrow at the end. I guarantee that even a full tank and full healer lineup can't save their lives. Two tanks fell just now."

"This is also the second point I want to make. All items are interactive, just like in the Ark world. There will never be a process in the dungeon that makes players unable to pass, and it is not a plot-based kill. So combined with the first point, can we disperse the players to form another group and kill the assassin who fired the explosive arrow in advance?"

He is worthy of being the captain of the Dynasty Team and a leader among professional players. Everyone thought about what he said just now and it does make sense. Speaking of interaction, the steamroller that exploded and killed more than a dozen players made those who were killed shudder.

Everyone sighed. This dungeon was really too difficult and there were no hints. Is this Ark? Not only was the game real, but the dungeon was also very real.

Huang Tian Hou Tu thought for a moment and said, "Let's try the Question Mark Force. We had a lot of difficulties when we were on the side of the Black Knight. Maybe it will be much easier if we are on the Assassination side?"

The players nodded. The players who were just tortured by the assassin immediately stood up on the spot as if they were given chicken blood. If I can't beat them, can't I join in?

24 people entered the copy interface again and chose the question mark faction when choosing a faction.

It was the familiar rain again, but this time the place where they were born was not in the apartment just now, but in a dilapidated abandoned building. Several people looked outside and found that the terrain here was very familiar. Wasn’t it the road they just walked on?

[Goal: Do your best to kill the Black Knight]

[Failure condition: Black Knight enters the arena]

【Five minutes countdown】

Everyone became excited when they saw it. If the good guys can't beat the villains, then what about them joining the villains?

Yang YanXF glanced at the "friendly" assassin on the building next door, and the information bar that popped up was, [? Assassin Lv25]

He looked around the building where he and the others were staying, but didn't see anyone, and was stunned.

"Will the system not let us replace the 24 assassins?" he whispered.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yang YanXF said, "It literally means that when we were protecting the Black Knight, there were assassins on both sides of the building, but now there are only us in this building...which means that we have replaced the assassins who were originally standing here."

"..."

The players were speechless after hearing this. They thought they were going to win the game, but now they had to do it themselves? And this seemed a bit unfair. The assassins who were replaced were several times stronger than them. At least they didn't have the assassin's bows and crossbows, and the few snipers were still using light crossbows.

Just when everyone was thinking about how to break the deadlock, the Black Knight came out, and arrows immediately flew towards her. Since only the building on one side was shooting arrows this time, the Black Knight cleverly leaned against the street on the other side, moving quickly between the vehicles parked on the roadside, and did not lose much blood!

Big sister, how come you are so smart?

The players were stunned.

Even the explosive arrow that took the player's life didn't cause much damage because the Black Knight was hiding behind the car, and her health only dropped to about 92%.

"God, what do you say?"

"Go ahead. We can't let her go into the sewer."

Huang Tian Hou Tu shouted loudly, and everyone nodded after hearing it. They walked down the stairs quickly. Three tanks held medium shields and blocked the front of the black knight. Huang Tian Hou Tu shouted loudly: "Long-range DPS attack! Shoot!"

The light crossbow and Originium Skill shot at the Black Knight at the same time, but the Black Knight dodged with a simple dodge. This scene made the emperor and the earth stare at it. Doesn't the Black Knight have any awareness of being a big boss? He is already very strong, but he doesn't even use his skills close to the opponent?

[Black Knight Level?] (Red Name)

[Danger level: Warning! You have no hope of survival] (Red)

"T, push it up!"

Huangtian Houtu followed behind the heavy-armored warrior with his long sword in hand. The sniper kept pulling the light crossbow, and the magic ZX threw out traps to distract the black knight.

The Black Knight glanced at them indifferently, his golden eyes showing neither sadness nor joy, burning brightly with flames in this rainy night.

She half-turned her body and swung her sword across—

Under the shocked gaze of players like Huangtian and Houtu, the three heavily armored players with the highest defense standing at the front turned into white light and evaporated from the face of the earth.

Huangtian Houtu and Dandao Danta both rushed forward in a hurry. Huangtian Houtu was kicked and fell to the ground, and his health dropped directly to 5%. Dandao Danta fought with the Black Knight for two rounds, and was cut into two by a sword and turned into white light.

Looking at the Black Knight who showed no expression from beginning to end, and listening to the groaning and screams from his teammates, he felt that he had made a very wrong decision.

A player was thrown on top of him by the Black Knight using brute force, and his health was instantly emptied. It was the first time that Huang Tian Hou Tu realized that throwing people could also cause harm. The two turned into white light and dissipated.

"send!"

Chapter 53 Ancient Weapons

Huangtian Houtu left the memory crystal with a pale face, and was greeted by team members with equally pale faces.

"...How do we fight this? Isn't the Black Knight too strong?"

"There is no chance of winning in close combat against the Black Knight. She is the triple crown champion of Casimir."

"That's too abnormal. With one strike, the health of our three tanks evaporated immediately. She didn't use any Originium skills, just the purest martial arts."

The team members were all complaining and grumbling at the same time, saying that this Black Knight was too abnormal. They didn't even know how they died in close combat with her.

Dan Dao Dan Tart's legs were trembling a little. He remembered that he could practice fighting with the Black Knight every day. He knew that the Black Knight was letting him win, but he didn't expect that he was letting the whole world win. Who could withstand the Black Knight who was serious?

Magic ZX was quite excited. He had discovered so much information in just two dungeon runs. He couldn't wait to go for the third run.

"God, what should I do?"

Huangtian Houtu thought for a while. As a professional player, he had challenged countless bosses and would not be defeated by mere difficulties. Moreover, for those high-level players who love games, the process of conquering the game itself is a kind of pleasure.

He raised his head and looked at the frightened expressions of his team members. He coughed lightly and decisively admitted defeat. "Let's choose the Pioneer and Black Knight camps first. The Assassin camp is a bit difficult, and it may be even more difficult because it is not the King's Road."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Huang Tian Hou Tu said, "Take a ten-minute break and continue to challenge the dungeon. Let's explore the mechanism first."

"Although there is no limit to the number of times we can challenge dungeons every day, we still need to set a time for opening up dungeons, because we can't get experience and Longmen coins when we open up dungeons, and we have to spend money to repair equipment..." Huang Tian Hou Tu opened his personal panel, "Every night from 7 to 9, we have two hours to open up dungeons. Do you have time?"

It's a holiday now, and even if the players here are office workers, they won't work overtime to such an exaggerated extent... It's a bit like office workers. The job of high-level players is to play games live and sell equipment to make money, while the job of professional players is to play games.

The job of some players is to create game-related content, such as Magic ZX and Yang Yan XF.

After the team rested for a while, Huang Tian Hou Tu clicked to enter the copy again, and they soon turned into white light and disappeared again.

After the Trailblazer's copy crystal was discovered, players worked frantically and finally got it. The forum was once again swept by a wave of Trailblazer excitement.

Because everyone discovered that there was a Black Knight in this memory crystal. This knight who joined the pioneer team after Casimir naturally aroused the curiosity of the players. At the same time, with the bonus of the magic teacher's video, the players began to frantically strategy after obtaining the copy crystal.

However, the difficulty of the dungeon soon dealt a heavy blow to the pioneering players.

"This is too difficult. The difficulty level is only level 25, but why do I feel like it's a copy of the next version?"

"I got up, but was killed instantly by an assassin with one arrow. What else can I say? Those who can survive the first wave of arrows can't survive the second wave. It's too difficult for squishy auxiliary medical personnel to survive."

"I originally thought that the assassins would win easily, but I overthought. Several of our close combatants were killed instantly, and the long-range attacks were all dodged by the Black Knight. Her body was too agile. She was obviously much higher in level than us, but she didn't resist the attack. She really didn't follow martial ethics."

While complaining, players on the forum were also shocked by the absolute gap in strength. This Black Knight was too strong. He was worthy of being the triple champion of Casimir Arena Knights.

Of course, as players, they would not give up on the challenge, and they quickly embarked on a new round of strategies.

The players of Sarkaz were very satisfied, while the players from other regions were crying and begging for their Fate God to be activated. They were miserable without the Fate God!

"Dad! Please come to Yan Country! I kneel down for you! As long as you come, I will immediately kidnap a hundred little lolita and Senomi little lolita for you to keep you company!"

"The Fate God is activated! When will the Fate God come to our Leitania?"

“Wow, wow, wow, Iberia is the closest to Lateran, but the pioneers didn’t transform into gods and descend to the world. Is it that the faith in Iberia is not pious enough?”

At the same time, there is a preliminary conclusion on how the Black Knight and the Trailblazer met. According to the setting of the two forces in the copy, the Trailblazer helped the Black Knight on the way to the arena, and it may be because of this battle that the two people who had no relationship originally became friends.

The players in Kazdel were grinning, while players from other regions were crying and begging the gods for help but to no avail.

Xia Yuan was posting while laughing. Some people on the forum suspected that there was a special relationship between him and Jian. It was hard to comment on Xia Yuan. All we could say was that the players imagined too much. The relationship between him and Jian was not only that of employer and bodyguard, but also that of comrades-in-arms. There was no so-called love story, which disappointed them.

Seeing that the players were very interested in the copy crystal, Xia Yuan knew that it was unrealistic for him to stay in one place for a long time at the moment.

Players do not have the ability to travel around the map in the early stages, and they cannot afford vehicles that can cross the no-man's land. Those who are lucky, like Dan Dao and Dan Tart, can even hitchhike and eat bread while continuing their journey in a dusty state. Those who are unlucky may be stranded directly in the no-man's land, and after being reborn at the last save point, they have to start the journey all over again, which is completely useless.

What's more, there haven't been any major events that would force players to sell everything they have to rush to a country to participate in a mission... except for the pioneers. However, the whereabouts of the pioneers themselves are uncertain. If they travel for several months and end up with nothing, wouldn't they be crying?

Therefore, Xia Yuan has to keep moving. He cannot stay in one force for too long, as this will be detrimental to the development of the players and himself. Just like what was said on the forum, the players of Yan Country are already ready to commit a crime to tie up a loli for Senomi, which means that it won't be long before the player falls into madness.

In order for all players to develop in an orderly manner, Xia Yuan naturally needs to be fair. As for Kazdel, it is just a place where he stays for a short time. Of course, he will come back in the future.

As he planned the next run in his mind, he was thankful that Yan Country was very close to Kazdel, and Yan Country was adjacent to the East Country, and faced Ursus across the no-man's land.

When talking about Longmen, we have to mention the most popular NPCs in Longmen. Unfortunately, at this time, Penguin Logistics had not yet been established. Celinina, a subsidiary of the company, was probably still in Syracuse, while Exia was bombing the school, Croissant was wandering somewhere, and Sora had not yet made her debut. The popular officer Chen from the Guards was attending military school in Victoria... and it seemed that he was about to graduate. Xingxiong might still be working as a ghost sister in some underground city, and Shi Huaiya was unknown. She might be in Victoria or in Longmen as a lady.

It is not known whether the Longmen Lishi Detective Agency was established at this time. If the detective agency was not established, its employees would naturally not be in Longmen.

It turns out that there is not a single NPC that Yan State is familiar with, and it is not very realistic to go deep into Dayan, which will only waste more time.
