Chapter 1 A New Journey

The wind blew through the canyon and set off waves on the grassland.

The bison, which was munching on the green blades of grass, raised its head and looked up at the sky. There, a wooden merchant ship tens of meters long was suspended in the air, its fully open sails puffing up in the wind, moving slowly forward.

"No matter what time you look at it, it's so spectacular."

A middle-aged man in leather armor stood by the deck, looking down at the endless grassland and beautiful scenery.

"It's also a great opportunity for us businessmen."

Standing beside the middle-aged man was a slightly obese businessman, with strange curly hair, wearing a merchant's robe, and his two small eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the scenery in front of him as if he was calculating something, looking at him, as if even the beautiful scenery in front of him could be sold for money.

"Without it, we wouldn't have been able to get the goods into the central region so quickly. To be honest, there was opposition when I was trying to expand this market, but now it seems that I made the right choice. ”

"But, with all due respect, instead of choosing a large shipping lane, you will go from here, which will save you time, but it will also increase the level of danger. I've heard that the other side hasn't been restless lately. And, I'm sure you've been warned by the captain that there seems to be a snake in the vicinity lately, in case ........."

The man's face became a little solemn, and he turned his head to look at the mountains not far away. Towering peaks blocked his view from seeing what was behind him. But you can vaguely see that the sky in the distance is not blue and pure, but with a touch of gloomy darkness.

That's not the world they should be in.

"Don't worry, how can there be so many in case, wealth and danger, that's why I spent so much money to hire you! It's just a few snakes, isn't it? ”

The merchant reached out and patted the man on the shoulder.

"By the way, how is the young man we rescued? It's not dead yet. ”

"Lijie has already bandaged his wounds, and now that he is in a coma, there should be no danger to his life."

"That's fine."

Hearing the man's answer, the merchant nodded in satisfaction, but then he quickly frowned.

"But what kind of wound did the young man have, and from that wound it looked like a lizard—but is there such a strange thing in the north of Parfield?"

"I don't know, my lord, but I think it's a very ferocious beast, I hope we don't run into it."

As he spoke, the man subconsciously glanced at the entrance to the cabin, and then he turned his head again to look ahead.

Rod opened his eyes.

What happened?

He stared blankly at the ceiling in front of him, his brain drowsy. He remembered that he should have led his team to fight against the Void Dragon, the most powerful boss in the Dragon Soul Continent, on the Ruin High Platform, and successfully obtained it

With the first kill, he was sure that he had received the achievement and system prompt, and then, the Void Dragon's last blow took his life. Originally, according to the original plan, Rhodes should be resurrected in the cemetery, and then log out offline. But

At the moment when he was killed by the Void Dragon, the entire world immediately turned black, as if he had been forcibly isolated, and then, Rhodes lost consciousness.

How is this possible? Could it be that something is wrong with the game?

Rod barely turned his head, and could see the blue sky and white clouds outside from the window, where was he? What is this place? What's going on? He's still dreaming? Or are you still in the game? At least Rod Ke

To be sure, this place at the moment is definitely not my own cramped rental apartment. Thinking of this, doubts immediately welled up in Rod's heart, and he frowned, and then tried to sit up.

"Woo!!"

And at this moment, a huge pain suddenly came from Rod's chest, and he gritted his teeth and stopped moving. At this time, Rod found that his left shoulder and chest had been completely wrapped in bandages, although he didn't know what happened to the road, but judging from the blood stains that were seeping on it, he was obviously not lightly injured.

It's definitely not a game!

Rhodes can be sure of this, you must know that although the technology of the Dao is now quite developed, the Dragon Soul Continent, as the first virtual full-realm online game in the world, also uses a lot of high-tech techniques. But according to the rules, the player is not allowed...,

The pain can be felt, this is to allow people to distinguish reality from the game, and at the same time, there is a consideration to lower the threshold for players. When the player is injured, instead of pain, the game will use the slowdown of the player's action to represent danger

Urgent red to block the view and a series of other ways to interfere with the player's normal gameplay to warn and warn, rather than really simulate pain. This kind of behavior caused a lot of social confusion when holographic simulation technology first appeared

When there is a big controversy, it is naturally impossible for the operating company of the Dragon Soul Continent not to know this.

Rod lowered his head and looked at his right hand, it wasn't the character he had created in the game, it wasn't the muscular and wild body. On the contrary, the arm in front of him is slender and thin, and his skin is sickly pale because he has not been exposed to the sun for many years. This is his own body in reality, and he knows it very well.

But how could he have been injured? Besides, it doesn't look like a hospital, does it? Rhodes looked up and saw that the room looked like a cabin, with no lights, no telephones, and no call bells. A wooden table, two chairs, and a cabinet fixed to the wall are all there is here. I don't know what the road is, but Rhodes feels as if he's seen this scene somewhere.

And just as Rod was taking a closer look at the room, the door suddenly opened.

A blonde girl in a white robe walked into the room, and she looked at Rod, who was half-seated, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Are you awake? That's great!! ”

The girl's mouth was not speaking Chinese or English, but Rhodes could clearly understand what she was saying. This made Rod a little surprised, he knew this language.

This is Nîmes, one of the official languages of the Dragon Soul Continent!

"How does it feel? Are you okay? ”

But the girl didn't pay attention to Rod's expression, she quickly walked to Rod's side, carefully examined his left shoulder and chest.

"Your injuries are so bad, frankly, I'm a little worried about whether you can hold ......"

"It's ........."

Rod frowned, but he didn't know what to say, he turned his head and looked at the mirror on the wall next to him, where his face was clearly reflected, it was indeed his face that was not wrong, but it should not be here.

"Have you forgotten?"

The blonde girl blinked her eyes a little puzzled, and the ponytails on both sides also swayed slightly with her movements, and the blue eyes were clear and transparent, giving people a lively feeling.

"Two days ago, you collapsed in the Parfield Plains, and you were quite badly wounded. If it weren't for the cargo ship of the 'Silver Scale' Chamber of Commerce passing by, I'm afraid it would be quite bad. I really don't know what you're fighting against, but the left side of your body was seriously injured, and it was really dangerous at that time. ”

Wait, left shoulder?

Rhodes was stunned for a moment, and he immediately remembered that he had been attacked on the left side after fighting with the Void Dragon before. But that's because his character in the game was injured, and it shouldn't have anything to do with the player himself, right, but now, it's him who is injured?

Although the situation in front of him was chaotic, Rhodes quickly calmed down, which was his psychological quality as a top player and the most powerful online game guild leader in the world. And in front of him this blonde girl

During the conversation, Rhodes also learned of his current situation, he was seriously injured and collapsed in the plains of Parfield, while the floating ship of the Silver Scales Chamber of Commerce happened to pass by and rescued him. According to the blonde teenage girl,

Rod didn't start out well, but his recovery was pretty good.

"My name is Lijie. Noai Lu is a member of the Star-Moon Mercenary Regiment, a spirit master, just call me Lijie. ”

The girl generously introduced herself to Rod.

"My name is Rod. Elant. ”

Although there is no way to sort out the situation in front of him, Rod hesitated a little and reported his identity and ID in the game.

"From the Oriental Mountains, he is an adventurer."

"Adventurer, that's why you're alone in the mountains."

Hearing Rod's answer, Lijie was not surprised, because on this continent, there are many adventurers who like to explore around alone, so there is no big problem with this identity in the Rhodes newspaper.

"But what exactly are you fighting against? Why did he get so badly injured? I remember that there shouldn't be any terrible monsters in this plains. ”

Hearing the girl's inquiry, Rod smiled a little embarrassed. What could he say, could he have told Lijie that he had been injured in a battle with the Void Dragon, known as one of the Five Dragons of Creation?

"Because I was attacked at night, I didn't see exactly what the other side was, there were a lot of them, and they were fast, I thought, maybe it's something 'over there'."

"I see."

Although Rod did not elaborate, Lijie nodded as if she understood something, and then she carefully examined Rode's wound before standing up.

"I haven't eaten for two days, I think you must be hungry, please wait a minute, I'll go get some food at once." Ah, by the way, I'm going to report this to the regimental commander, I think he'll come to see you soon. ”

After saying this, the girl nodded politely to Rod, and then turned and walked out of the room.
