After figuring out what kind of animals the opponents were this time and determining the alliance, Xia Yu didn't continue to waste time in this open space, he found a corner where no one was there and opened the map.

This is a game after all, it is impossible to make the player's eyes black, although Xia Yu's body has become a black panther, he found that the function of the watch has not disappeared. It's just that the display function has become 3D imaging.

You can not only see the names of other players, check the current number of survivors in the game, check your own attributes and achievements, but also call up the game map.

Xia Yu looked at the map of the volcanic island, which only marked the names of different areas, but did not mark the distribution of resources.

But as an old player, Xia Yu can deduce a lot of things just from some limited information on the map.

In the middle of the island is the smoking volcano.

Immediately below the volcano next to the crater, there is a small lake marked as "Crater Lake", and on the east side of the volcano is a continuous mountain range, with a towering peak, the top part of the mountain is white, obviously covered with ice and snow, marked "Eagle Rock Peak".

To the southeast of the volcano, below Eagle Rock Peak, is a large lake, labeled as the Stillwater Lake, from which a river stretches to the sea in the distance.

Directly south of the volcano is a continuous grassland and a small wooded hill, and in the middle of the grassland, there is a black rift-like icon, marked [Death Rift].

To the west of the volcano is a large jungle, and in the jungle there is also an icon of a building marked with [Ancient Ruins].

To the north of the volcano is a large forest, with a large tree in the middle, marked as [Ancient Giant Tree], and a river bypasses the side of the giant tree, making several bends between the jungle and the forest, and finally empties into the sea.

At the junction of the forest and the jungle, to the northwest of the volcano, there is a slightly smaller lake, labeled "Lake of Leaves".

There are some smaller markings in other places, generally such and such mountains, such and such rivers, such and such woodlands, etc.

Looking at those big icons, Xia Yu was interested.

Generally speaking, landmarks that are particularly conspicuous in the game tend to have some special monsters, quests, bosses, hidden treasures and other designs.

Therefore, the five king beasts, nine times out of ten, will refresh the positions marked on these big icons, especially the names of Eagle Rock Peak, Death Rift, Ancient Giant Tree, and Ancient Ruins, which sound like the boss's lair at first glance, and in these areas, it is very likely that the number of other resources will be more.

I'm sure others can guess that.

If you want to eat chicken at the end, then you must choose one of the areas to explore, collect resources, and it is best to take down a king beast soul to enhance your strength as much as possible, and in this way, it is very likely to clash with other players, which is very dangerous.

On the other hand, if you just want to make it to the top three, then there is no need to go to those hot spots, just collect scattered resources in the surrounding open areas and strive to make it to the finals.

Xia Yu undoubtedly belongs to the former, and considering the ecological niche of the black panther, there is no doubt that the forest or jungle is his best choice.

Therefore, Xia Yu soon made a plan, first collect resources in the forest or jungle, and then find a way to go to the ancient giant trees or ancient ruins to take a look, forget about the Lake of Leaves, we can't afford to provoke the monsters in the water.

Then he began to calculate the game's circle shrinkage mechanism, in the general battle royale game, the position of the circle shrinkage is usually random, there is no fixed safe zone, players need to constantly move to avoid the threat of the drug circle, but in this game, Xia Yu feels that it should be different.

The reason why I think this way is because the volcano in the center of the map, according to the background of the game, it is precisely because of the existence of the volcano that the glacier breath does not cover this island, and this volcano is located in the very center of the island, so it is very likely that the circle will be carried out with the crater as the center point, and the final round is likely to be near the crater, so that the location of the safe zone can be calculated by calculation.

According to the scale on the map, the radius of this island is about 50 kilometers, and it is known that after 24 hours, the glacier breath will completely engulf the island, and the glacier breath will spread once every three hours, which means that there will be a total of eight dispersions, each time a distance of about six kilometers.

Considering that it is not clear how fast the Breath of Ice will spread, you only need to run a range of six kilometers before the Breath of Ice spreads to ensure your own safety.

Of course, this is just a guess, so the first time you run a lap, it's best to run farther, and if you confirm your own conjecture, it will be easier later.

Because the more in-depth the circle, the smaller the map area, if the resources on the map are evenly distributed, that is to say, the more tense the resources will be in the later stage, and the more fierce the competition among players, then the early stage of the game is the easiest stage to obtain resources, and obtaining as many resources as possible in the first few hours after starting the game will be the key to the player's victory.

If the early stage is well developed and has a certain strength, not only is the self-protection ability stronger, but also has a higher chance of winning the soul of the king beast, which can be said to be a virtuous circle, and if the early stage is not well developed, the later stage will fall into a vicious circle.

Here, Xia Yu just figured out the key to it, and sixty minutes will soon arrive.

[System prompt: The time has come, the game is about to start, please select your landing location, please confirm that you are ready after choosing, after all players are ready, the game will officially start. 】

The map on the watch pops up again, and a movable cursor appears on the outermost stretch of the island's sandy beach.

Xia Yu immediately understood that the player could choose the location of his birth on the volcanic island, but he could only choose a certain place on the beach, which was also convenient, and he thought he was going to skydive.

Xia Yu chose the initial location on a sandy beach in the northwest of the island, at the junction of jungle and forest, and then chose to prepare.

A moment later, as the last player was ready, Xia Yu's eyes flashed with white light, and in the next second, he found himself on a sandy beach, with a lush rainforest on his left and a dense forest on his right, and the two areas were divided by a river. It spreads all the way into the distance.

Deep in the forest, on the distant horizon, a towering volcano can be seen, and the smoke from the crater is slowly rising, even from dozens of kilometers away.

He glanced behind him again, and on the sea around the island, he could see lead-gray dark clouds and storms, like a wall around the island, which was in a very calm state at this time, but the frozen sea not far from the coast and the seabirds and whales frozen on the sea still indirectly revealed the horror of this ice storm.

The desolate and primitive scene in front of him that revealed the power of nature was so real, making Xia Yu feel so small, and faintly excited, and even without any background music or plot story, he had already brought it into his role.

Without the slightest hesitation, he ran straight into the jungle ahead.

He already has a plan for the actions of this game, and the combat power of the black panther is not considered the top among these beasts, so he must hunt as many beasts as possible and obtain the blood of evolution to improve his strength. If you're lucky, it's even better to grab one or two more Evolution Seeds.

If you encounter other players, you should try to avoid conflicts, although killing players will also lose the blood of evolution, but everyone is in the initial state in the early stage, and there is no oil and water, so fighting in the early stage is a complete waste of time.

As for the king beast, it will definitely not be able to deal with it alone, unless it happens to meet another team fighting the boss and can grab the head easily, otherwise there is no need to think about it for the time being.
