Chapter 122: An Unexpected Encounter

Because of the sudden vision of heaven and earth just now, the traces left by Rhine and the others were washed away by the torrential rain and hail, and Murong Feng couldn't find new traces for a while, which made Lan Xi anxious in place. Fortunately, the nearby mountains are dangerous, and only one road to the west is feasible. So the three of them had to continue west along the mountain road, hoping that new clues would be found on the way.

In this way, they searched from noon to night, and Murong Feng and the three of them had completely penetrated into the vast mountains all the way west. It is surrounded by towering ancient trees. The dwarf bushes and thorns everywhere make it difficult to walk. From time to time, apes and tigers roared in the mountains, fierce beasts ran in the forest, giant birds glided through the air, the canopy of the trees did not see a ray of sunlight, and the air was filled with the smell of rotten grass leaves. Walking in the mountains and forests during the day is hot and humid, and even if it doesn't rain, the whole body will quickly become wet, and at night, the mountain breeze blows to the bone, which will make people feel a chill.

Because he was worried that he was alone in the mountains, Murong Feng simply continued to ask the servants to bring the food to the small building to enjoy on the grounds that he was unwell. In fact, Murong Feng didn't go offline at all, and he has been accompanying Lan Xi in the game to find traces of Rhine in the vast mountains.

"Major, it's not an option to go on like this. And as soon as the night falls, all the demons and monsters in the mountains will come out. We had to find a safe place to live. Murong Feng opened his mouth to persuade.

Lancey looked stunned and nodded silently. Murong Feng breathed a sigh of relief, she was most afraid of Lan Xi losing her mind and doing something stupid now. Sneaking through the monster-infested mountains is already walking on thin ice, and if something gets out of control, it really makes it worse.

Murong Feng found a large tree hole nearby and covered the hole with vine leaves. The Bee Scout falls into the canopy and acts as a warning radar. The three of them huddled together in the hollow of the tree to keep warm. Lancey silently inhaled the nutrient solution to replenish his strength. Never said a word. Murong Feng looked anxious but helpless. The whereabouts of Rhine and the others are unknown, life and death are unknown, and there is not even the most basic task hint, which makes Murong Feng very worried, afraid that something will happen to Rhine.

Because the NPCs are different players, players can be 'resurrected' through clones after 'death', at the cost of losing 10% of their attributes, and the unlucky point is the re-explosive equipment. Equipment can be re-fought, and lost attributes can be gradually recovered through physical labor such as fighting or moving bricks. It's just a matter of killing time. Of course, if you are a local tyrant, you can also directly spend a huge amount of money to strengthen your new body when you are 'resurrected', so as to achieve the perfect standard of 'life'. To put it bluntly, it is to spend money to avoid the penalty of death. However, this setting is only consumed by local tyrants, and ordinary players still forget it, because the high cost will definitely discourage most ordinary players! Why don't you take advantage of your break to move more bricks? In this way, you can not only restore your attributes, but also make a little money.

The punishment for NPC death is much more serious, and ordinary NPCs generally refer to those who don't even have a name, and once they die, they will be directly erased (formatted) by the mastermind. If the base wants to re-recruit (clone) an NPC soldier, it must consider providing him with additional conditions such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation, as well as military pay. It's not that you can recruit soldiers and leave them there. On the one hand, the game is in pursuit of the ultimate realism, and at the same time, it is also to avoid the unlimited clone soldiers in the later stage of the game, regardless of the logistical pressure, after the player establishes his own power, resulting in a flood of NPC soldiers in the forces under his command. In other words, if you don't have a strong logistics foundation, you should obediently recruit players to fight the world together, because at least players are much easier to feed than NPCs in the game.

And those like Rhine have names and ranks. Elite NPCs with questlines can be resurrected through clones once they die. But the punishment is even more cruel, at least crippled (dropping the rank, erasing the title of elite and so on), or falling back to the zero level to become an ordinary civilian, although the memory and intelligence are retained, but it is extremely difficult to regain the original rank. Maybe you can only be an ordinary civilian NPC in this life, which is definitely worse than killing them. As a result, many high-level NPCs would rather be wiped out by the Mastermind than resurrected by the base.

Therefore, NPCs in the game often know how to respect life more than players!

It's no wonder that Lancey worries about Rhine to the point of losing her soul.

In the tree hole, Lanxi was still in a daze, Lilith was amusing Lian'er, and the little girl's Vulcan cannon should be too big and was forced into the bag by Murong Feng.

Feeling that a few people were hiding in the tree hole like this and doing nothing, Murong Feng simply controlled the arachnid scout to go out to search, although he could only explore a radius of five or six kilometers, but it was better than sitting and doing nothing.

Suddenly, a flashing yellow dot was flickered back from the radar of the scout, which made Murong Feng, who was used to seeing the red dots flashing, feel tight! Then he shook his head with a dumb smile, it seemed that he was also nervous, and he was not nervous when he saw the flooded red dots, but he was inexplicably excited when he saw the yellow dots appear on the radar.

Murong Feng adjusted his mind, and was about to control the scout to continue the search, and suddenly the yellow dot jumped back, which surprised Murong Feng inexplicably, and before Murong Feng drove the scout closer to open the video surveillance to see what was going on, suddenly another yellow dot jumped up, and then three more appeared, a total of five small yellow dots converged on the radar surveillance.

"Could it be some kind of social ape creature?" Murong Feng was puzzled for a while, and saw five small yellow dots jumping towards the north, driven by curiosity, Murong Feng let the arachnoid scout follow him, in order not to startle the snake, Murong Feng only let the scout flank far behind the five small yellow dots and follow all the way.

During this time, the little yellow dots were very cautious, and several times they seemed to notice something following them, and returned to check. Every time Murong Feng saw this, he let the arachnid scout enter a dormant state, like a dead thing hiding in the leaves and grass, and the other party could not find a dead thing hiding under their feet no matter how strong their perception was.

For a while, Murong Feng was playful, and followed the few small yellow dots unrelentingly, until the arachnid scout was about to go out of the control range, and Murong Feng was stupidly ready to summon the scout back.

Suddenly! A few green dots flashed at the very edge of the radar! And those yellow dots have already surrounded those green dots!

Murong Feng's eyes suddenly widened. A palm slapped on Lancey's thigh!

"Major, I've found your concubine!"

Lancey was stunned at first. Then he jumped up and slammed his head into the top of the tree hole. The eyes were hurting, but his hands grabbed Murong Feng's wrists and didn't let go!

Murong Feng didn't care about explaining more, so he directly dragged the second daughter out of the cave, took out the Vulcan cannon and stuffed it into Lilith's arms, and then pulled out a Gauss rifle and grenade to hang all over his body, and said urgently as he walked, "The scout found a few green dots in the north, and it is very likely that they are Lieutenant Rhine." But a few creatures with unknown friends and foes surrounded them! ”

Lan Xi didn't say a word, and directly pulled out an electric light cannon from his bag and carried it on his shoulder. A murderous look!

"Holy! Major, what a good thing you actually have in your private possession! ”

"Less nonsense, lead the way! Save that guy, and I'll give it to you! ”

What else is there to say! Wealth is moving, not to mention the treasure that wealth can't be exchanged! Murong Feng immediately accelerated to open the way in front of him, and flew away in the direction of those green dots. Lancey and Lilith followed.

Soon several people touched the periphery of the place where the green dot appeared. Murong Feng did not rush over rashly, but controlled the arachnid scout that had been dormant for a long time to quietly lurk over, and turned on the video surveillance at the same time.

Video surveillance shows the image of a clearing in front of a dense grass with a col in front of it, where several soldiers in Union uniforms are lying on the ground. One of them is none other than the Rhine! At the same time, five cloaked eccentrics were gathering around several soldiers.

Lan Xi was stunned for a moment, and directly picked up the electric light cannon and rushed out. Murong Feng couldn't stop him if he wanted to. I could only helplessly pick up the gun and rush out.

The electric cannon in Lanxi's hand began to emit a dangerous low sound, and as soon as it rushed out of the mountain col, it immediately alarmed the strange people. With a hideous face, Lancy raised the glowing muzzle of the cannon and aimed it at several people, and yelled "Get out of the way!! ”

Because these weirdos were too close to Rhine and the others, Lancy didn't dare to open fire, so he could only intimidate each other loudly!

And those strange people were also startled by the sudden appearance of Lanxi, and after panicking for a while, they immediately walked out of one person and raised his hand to show that he had no malicious intent, and his mouth let out a burst of muttering indigenous language, but unfortunately Lanxi couldn't understand what it was saying, and still pointed the muzzle of the cannon at a few people, and kept repeating in his mouth to keep the other party away from the Rhine people!

One of the five strange men had a rather frizzy temper, and seeing that Lancey was always hostile to them, he directly raised his hand and removed the curved bow on his back, mounted an arrow, and confronted Lancey. The leader, apparently wanting to settle the matter peacefully, turned around and reprimanded the man to put down his bow and arrows.

Because Rhine didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Lan Xi was already red-eyed at this time, and when he saw that the other party dared to use force, he immediately lost control of his emotions and directly pulled the trigger!!

It happened that Murong Feng arrived, and when he saw such a situation, his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he immediately stepped forward and slapped his palm on the barrel of the cannon to make it deviate from the target!

The electric light cannon suddenly let out a roar, and a dazzling electric ball roared out and hit the cliff wall above the mountain col, and there was an explosion of heaven and earth! Completely stunned by those five!

Whoa! The explosion immediately triggered a massive collapse of the cliff, and for a time countless rocks rolled down the col.

"You're crazy! Ignorant of the place, they fire indiscriminately! Murong Feng yelled at Lan Xi and immediately rushed over to save people. Before the sword qi came out, he first cut off a few boulders.

The five strange men also knew that great disaster was coming, and immediately four of them ran out of the col, but the leader remained where he was, dancing with his hands and mouthing the sound. Even Murong Feng rushed to his side without taking a look!

At this time, there happened to be another boulder rolling down like Mount Tai! Murong Feng looked at it with a cold heart, and without saying a word, he dragged Lai Yin and the others one by one and threw them out of the col directly, but how could he delay the boulder was already coming. Murong Feng could only helplessly close his eyes and wait for death, and suddenly heard the strange man yelling in a strange indigenous language in his ears!

Murong Feng subconsciously opened his eyes and turned his head to look, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw that the man faced the boulder, and he actually raised his hands, and a round of five-pointed star blue magic array appeared out of thin air, directly blocking the boulder that flew down!

As soon as the boulder was blocked by the magic array, it made a loud bang and then was bounced high and rolled down, and the pentagram magic array immediately shattered into bits of star dust and dissipated one after another, and the person seemed to be exhausted and collapsed directly to the ground.

At this time, another boulder rolled down, and Murong Feng immediately grabbed the man and flew out of the mountain col, and finally escaped the catastrophe.

But when Murong Feng rushed out of the mountain col, he saw Lan Xi holding the unconscious Rhine crying, while Lilith was carrying the whirring Vulcan cannon in one hand and the low-roaring electric cannon in the other hand and the four strange people with bows and arrows in a state of confrontation!

You don't have to look at it to know that once the little girl fires, it will definitely make those four guys disappear in an instant!

"Lilith put the gun down, they have no ill will!" Murong Feng came to the four of them with one person in his hand, and said, "Can you understand my words?" ”

The four of them didn't answer, they still held their bows and arrows and pointed at Murong Feng, and one of them pointed to the person Murong Feng was carrying.

Murong Feng slowly put down the person in his hand, signaling that he had no malicious intent, and then slowly retreated, and one of the four immediately ran out to check on the person's situation. Flip over the one lying on the ground and lift his hood

Murong Feng, who was retreating, suddenly opened his eyes, and his feet were in a mess and he almost tripped over himself!

"You are...... Genie!? (To be continued......)
