Chapter 53: Deadly Road Friendly Match

In the real world, Qiao Song had only seen the Aurora on TV. Now, as he was galloping across the icy lake as night fell, with the gorgeous and stunning curtain of light directly above his head, Qiao Song had no time to appreciate it.

The map introduction says that when the aurora in the polar ice lake scenery belt lights up, the wild beasts will come out to act, and the car behind dares to attack her at this time. It is not only brave, but also seems to be quite confident in its skills.

The giant dragon's head, which was charging with energy, had already been aiming at the rear of Qiao Song's car. She steadied the steering wheel, and just as the skill in the dragon's mouth was about to be spit out, she suddenly turned the steering wheel.

A beam of transparent light was spit out from the dragon's mouth, quickly enlarged, and turned into a thick water column. It was almost sticking to her car window glass and was spit onto the road ahead, quickly condensing into a large pile of icicles.

The attacker in the car behind also reacted quickly, turning to the side to avoid hitting his own masterpiece.

The road on the ice lake is much wider than the previous winding mountain road. It is even difficult to tell which is the lane and which is the normal lake surface.

After the two cars pulled away, the golden dragon head recharged its energy again and quickly launched another long-range water column attack.

Qiao Song stepped on the accelerator and quickly dodged again. She found the right opportunity to quickly get close to the opponent's car and rammed it hard. Although she had no long-range attack means, she herself was a weapon - the car that came out of the dinosaur copy could be described in two words: durable!

The roaring engine, along with its dinosaur-like steel body, was like a sledgehammer sliding across the ice, smashing directly onto the dragon boat car that dared to attack her.

The other party was almost knocked over on the ice by Qiao Song. Qiao Song then took out a hammer and hit the other party's car window glass hard.

However, the dragon on the other car's body also reacted quickly. Its head hovered near Qiao Song and quickly sprayed out several jets of water.

This time, because they were too close, even though Qiao Song pulled away in time, the dinosaur car was still splashed with water. But perhaps because it did not touch the ice surface, even if there were ice chips in the water this time, they did not freeze into a large pile of ice cones as quickly as before.

With this discovery, Qiao Song quickly turned the car around, increased the distance and prepared to speed up.

When she crashed into the other party for the second time, she almost turned the two people in the dragon boat car into tomatoes rolling in a can.

Tomato No. 1 was still howling: "Wow, awesome! I knew I had chosen the right person, this guy is really awesome!"

Tomato No. 2, wearing a baseball cap, calmly steadied the steering wheel and continued driving.

"Yes, the map is not difficult. You have to increase the difficulty yourself to make it fun."

Qiao Song heard the vague conversation from afar, and his first reaction was whether these two people were sick?

The two people in the car laughed happily, as if they had found something interesting and were ready to attack again.

The dragon head gathered strength again and launched an attack from a distance. Wherever the water column hit the lake surface, ice would quickly form. Qiao Song dodged it and bumped into it from time to time, hitting it back with a few hammers. As a result, the opponent was not angry at all and seemed to be having a lot of fun.

She looked carefully this time. In the car with dragon boat elements, there were two smiling young men. One was taking notes and talking to the driver in a baseball cap. The style of the clothes and the style of the game...

Is the strategy group crazy?

Before, when she saw this car attacking the Dawnland convoy, she thought it was because of a feud between the two families. After all, the purpose of the Dawnland is to return to the real world at all costs, while the strategy group is completely the opposite. They think the infinite flow world is very interesting and want to stay here to conquer various copies. The members are all in a very pure state of play.

No wonder they chose to cause trouble at night, are they treating me as a member of the atmosphere group?

Qiao Song clicked his tongue and said, "You like to play, right?"

While keeping an eye on the car in pursuit, she began searching the dark ice for possible beast dangers, and soon noticed that the aurora above her head seemed a little too low.

The gorgeous light curtain in the sky seemed to be dragged to a position close to the ground by someone, and the unobstructed ice surface instantly looked like a dance floor covered with colorful lights.

Qiao Song maneuvered the vehicle to move and quickly avoided the pursuit from behind. At the same time, he noticed that as the light curtain in the sky lowered lower, colorful spots of light appeared on the ice surface. Following this, there seemed to be dark shadows gathering under the thick lake surface.

The name of this map is Polar Ice Lake Scenic Area, and under their feet is a frozen lake, and there is still water under the ice.

These dark shadows in the water seemed to be attracted to light and were slowly gathering together and moving towards the direction where the aurora was falling.

After figuring this out, Qiao Song once again approached the car behind him that was preparing for a sneak attack. This time, he aimed at the direction and crashed the car directly into the area where the black shadows were most obviously gathered.

The harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground was heard, and the dragon boat-style car was knocked dozens of meters away. The two psychopaths in the car grabbed the handrails in the car and sighed that it was so exciting, but they soon noticed the movement under the ice.

"Captain, there seems to be a little boss under the ice?"

The two men who attacked other people's cars because they were bored finally found something to do this time.

The person driving the car also noticed the light spot that was shining on the ice in front of them.

"Why does this aurora look like disco balls?" After complaining, he controlled the dragon head on the car body to stop the attack and finally focused his attention on the map.

"It should be the ice monsters that will spawn in this map. In the previous map, several large guilds were crowded together, making it inconvenient to enter the elf's house. This time the map should separate the players. We are the top three on this road. It's time to gain some experience."

How could they, who were in the game strategy group, lose to players from other guilds in the dungeon?

When playing games, besides having fun, winning is also important!

The person in the passenger seat immediately said "Watch me" and leaned out of the sunroof, with half of his body exposed to the cold wind. However, he seemed not to be afraid of the cold, and a set of colorful building blocks immediately appeared in his hand.

【LEGO Gundam】

[Don’t think this is just a bunch of colorful particles. As long as I have enough Lego and enough time, I can create a world! ]

The Lego guy quickly took out a plastic RPG toy he had already assembled, put it on his shoulder, and blasted it forward. The thing that looked like a toy actually had almost half the power of the original.

With one shot, the enthusiastic player helped a dark shadow under the ice break free from its restraints ahead of time.

Qiao Song saw this scene from afar and understood what Gao Chengcheng meant when she said that the strategy team was full of weirdos. The monsters hadn't appeared yet, but these guys were so anxious that they took the initiative to help the other party...

With the guy under the ice, the members of the strategy team seemed to have lost interest in Qiao Song. After the ice in front was lifted up, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the exploded ice cave.

At first they thought it was a big fish, but later they found that it was too long, like a giant black dragon rising into the sky.

"What the hell is this?"

The Lego Gundam man, who was originally expecting some ferocious beast to appear, was in a trance for a moment, and soon saw the thing rushing out of the ice, turning its head and roaring at them.

It has a cylindrical body and a mouth that can swallow an entire car. It is almost the same thickness at the front and back and is black.

"Is this an eel or an earthworm? Very strange."

The driver was disgusted by his poor ability to describe.

"Kill one first and see. I think I can get out of this map in a few hours. Kill a few more small bosses to accumulate the experience I missed in the previous map."

“Okay—”

Two new RPGs were carried onto his shoulders, and this time both heads fired at the same time. With a few loud bangs, the ice was blown to pieces. As a result, only the roar of the black monster was heard, but there was no sign of it being damaged.

"Damn it, something's wrong with the captain. It seems the firepower of this thing is not very useful."

The next second, he took out a new toy with a strange shape, which looked like an umbrella in front.

After pressing the switch, several bolts of lightning blasted towards the distance. After the thunder and lightning, the long black worm was unharmed. Instead, it shook its head in disdain and quickly dived under the ice.

"My goodness, thunder and lightning don't work either."

When the driver heard this, he stepped on the accelerator and accelerated forward.

Sure enough, the next second, the galloping dragon boat car was directly overturned by the black shadow that reappeared under the ice, along with the ice surface, as if in retaliation for their previous attack.

"Wow, is this so exciting?"

Not only here, but in the entire ice lake area, black earthworm-like monsters were successively arching out from the ice surface covered with colorful spots.

Qiao Song had been watching the situation over there for a long time and drove the car quickly to avoid all locations with dark shadows.

She was also quite surprised that these black shadows were not vulnerable to fire damage at all. After all, it took a lot of effort for the black shadows to break through the ice surface, but those weapons that could break through the ice surface were unable to cause any damage to them.

Except for the first black shadow released by the strategy team in advance, some of them chased the strategy team's dragon boat car in a rage.

The others who took the initiative to drill out of the ice were like a thick black rope. Not only did they not respond to the two speeding cars, but they kept jumping up and down on the ice, drilling one ice hole after another on the surface of the wide ice lake.

Qiao Song spent almost the entire time observing the dark shadows swimming under the ice, trying to avoid having his car overturned by those guys who came out.

The car of the strategy team was a dragon boat car. After being pushed into the water, it was still able to break the ice forward, slide on the water for a while, and then drive back onto the ice.

If Qiao Song's dinosaur-style steel vehicle was overturned into the lake, it would be a big problem.

The dark shadows that emerged from under the curling stones were rolling back and forth on the lake surface. If they continued like this, even the thickest ice would be riddled with holes.

The ice surface with holes all over it may not be able to carry too many vehicles through the lake. Not every vehicle can have the function of driving underwater like a dragon boat.

Qiao Song drove the car at almost the maximum speed, wanting to leave the area as soon as possible.

But she felt a little confused. If it was just a racing game, there was no need to create such a strange monster. She observed the black shadows rolling up and down on the ice. It seemed that there was a spot of light staying in front of each small round hole.

Wait, looking carefully again at the ice surfaces with holes in them passing by him, Qiao Song discovered that the light spots that existed before disappeared after the black shadow broke through the ice surface.

And those black shadows with their mouths wide open will soon pass back through the ice surface, and arch up from the bottom to overturn another area where the aurora lands.

It's just like a greedy snake eating.

Those fast and accurate black worms ate the auroras that gathered into spots of light on the ice surface, and then stayed on the ice surface after a few rounds.

The big round mouths on their heads are full of fangs, which swell up little by little and finally turn into a huge oval black hole facing other directions on the ice.

When Qiao Song passed by a big mouth that had already taken shape, he could even see clusters of light gathered in the dark throat.

What does it mean to open your mouth when you are full?

Just as she thought of this, she saw a new long black worm suddenly jump out from under the ice, pass directly through the mouth of this already full guy, and come out from its tail like a straw.

The worm that was pierced quickly turned from black to transparent, and the aurora in its body reappeared bit by bit, slowly rising and hanging back in the sky.

The process was extremely fast. When Qiao Song came to his senses, the long worm that had eaten Aurora and had its mouth wide open had completely disappeared.

She seemed to understand.

Turning the steering wheel, Qiao Song no longer avoided the area where the black worms were active, but instead drove towards the area on the ice where monsters were constantly flying up and down.

Sure enough, these vanguard troops would constantly capture the lasers on the ice surface and fly over from below many times. After eating the light spots, they would stay in place and open their mouths wide to form a door-like entrance. Then other insects that did not eat the light spots would pass directly through their mouths.

Compared to the previous Fire Elf map which also said that you can choose to visit the elves' home or not, this map almost only says that the monsters will come out to forage for food after the aurora lands, and also hints that they may eat the players.

It's like a reminder for players not to be eaten by monsters.

Qiao Song is now ready to read this strategy completely in reverse. What the official does not recommend players to do is what Qiao Song wants to try.

She found the right direction, looked at a huge black mouth that had just formed somewhere in front of her and almost faced her, then turned sharply and rushed straight towards it.

If the monster didn't come to eat her, she would run into the monster's stomach.

The next second after rushing into the big black worm's mouth, the whole car seemed to be filled with a black tunnel full of flowing light. Qiao Song seemed to see star tracks. The entire vehicle was surrounded by long colorful lines, sliding across her car window from front to back.

It was as if the aurora was flying quickly, and a white light appeared far ahead. She stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the end of the passage.

The next moment, a ding sound was heard in the air.

[Successfully helped the black snake monster digest the aurora in its stomach. Congratulations to the player for obtaining the special prop card]

[Shadow Channel]

[After use, a black channel is quickly generated that can completely hide the entire vehicle. Individual units other than the card holder cannot be locked until the vehicle drives out of the belly of the black shadow. ]

Another prop card. Qiao Song licked his lips, knowing that he had made the right bet.

In the back, the strategy team driving the dragon boat was drifting around on the ice while screaming. They continued to attack the black worm behind them, but found that no matter how hard they hit, they couldn't break the shell of this thing.

"Damn, the defense value is too high. Is it a functional NPC that can't be killed? Captain, what are you looking at? Why aren't you talking?"

The man in the peaked cap in the driver's seat stared at the dinosaur car disappearing in the distance and suddenly narrowed his eyes: "This guy who greeted Dawnland is indeed quite interesting."

They were all still thinking about beating the boss, but the other party found another way and went straight into the boss's stomach.

"She's so good at playing games. Next time, let the president go over and talk to her."

The co-pilot, who was holding a Lego weapon in his hand, didn't understand what the captain meant by saying this. Didn't he just say that he wanted to play cat and mouse with the other party? How come the evaluation was so high all of a sudden?

The driver immediately said sternly: "Get off, stop playing, we've been overtaken again."

Then he stepped on the accelerator, imitating what Qiao Song had just done, found a huge black shadow with its mouth wide open, and rushed directly into the other's mouth.

Amid the co-pilot's screams, the dragon boat car drove out of the belly of the dark shadow full of aurora. This time, the pleasant prompt sound and the special prop card floating on the center console were finally heard.

"This sister, it's OK!"

The Lego brother in the passenger seat was convinced, and the driver in the baseball cap nodded, wanting to continue chasing the dragon boat car, but found that they had just entered the belly of the black shadow and could not even see the shadow of Qiao Song's car.

There will be an arrow on the center console of the vehicle, showing the exit of this map, to prevent players from flying around like a fly on the entire map. After the dragon boat car adjusts its direction, it will immediately accelerate towards the exit.

Anyway, there is only one exit, and the other person may be just ahead.

Qiao Song was indeed running in the front at this time. After crawling out of the belly of the black worm, she seemed to have obtained some kind of space buff and moved forward a long way. She could already see a new small black dot in her rearview mirror. It was not the dragon boat car that had been following her, but the one that was running in front of her before.

Now, there was only a clear expanse of ice in front of her, and there was no player in this map who could run faster than her.

It seems that after passing the special hidden levels on each map, you will get an extra gain, just like the last time you passed the Fire Elf level, after switching maps, her starting point was higher than that of other teams.

This time it directly surpassed all the teams.

But what concerned her more was that almost every line in the introduction to the background of the dungeon was telling players that the mini-games that appeared in the map were very dangerous, and they should not fight against those monsters, otherwise their lives would be in danger.

If they knew in advance that they could get the prop card after passing the level, many players would definitely take the risk, but the official just doesn’t tell them. After all, this is a racing game, and racing is more important than anything else.

The more the official wants to conceal something, the more interested Qiao Song becomes. Speaking of which, there should be such a level in Gao Chengcheng's map where one can get a special item card.

She picked up her phone, typed a text message, and soon received a response.

The phone rang. It was Gao Chengcheng calling.

"Sister Qiao Song! I just got a special item card at Mushroom Garden!"

The battle on her side had just ended. Gao Chengcheng was breathing slightly, but her tone was quite excited.

"Let me tell you, those mushrooms are a bummer. They either explode or lock the player. If my brother hadn't reminded me that there was a life-saving door inside the mushrooms, I wouldn't have thought of breaking in."

The rules of the Mushroom Homeland are somewhat similar to those of the Ice Lake here. The background introduction says:

[This is a joyful mushroom paradise, where all kinds of cute mushrooms live. But be careful, don't enter the mushrooms' nest easily, because there are all kinds of strange poisonous mushrooms hidden there, and you may not be able to get out if you go in.]

"On our road, most of the mushrooms that attacked the players' cars were exploded from the tree stumps that rolled down the mountain. My brother reminded me to drive into a small road from the side and rushed directly into a valley full of mushrooms. It was indeed like a mushroom nest, with all kinds of strange things. But after successfully crossing the valley, we got a special prop card!"

Although the valley was filled with poisonous gas, there were also some large hollow wooden stakes. These fallen hollow tree trunks could accommodate a whole car. Each stump seemed like a way for them to escape, but the exit was not certain, so it was all up to Gao Chengcheng's brother to figure out the direction.

As long as you successfully survive the poisonous gas in the valley and find the right exit, you will get a card with a small white mushroom on it after leaving the valley.

"According to the description of this mushroom card, it should be able to detoxify."

Qiao Song tapped the steering wheel with his fingers and suddenly asked her, "Chengcheng, didn't your brother say before that our two maps should not be far apart?"

Gao Chengcheng raised his voice and said, "My brother did say that. To be precise, what his nose smells is not smell, but rules and inspiration. It's quite mysterious."

Qiao Song thought for a while and suddenly said, "Do you want to come over to my place and get an Aurora Card?"

Gao Chengcheng exclaimed “Ah?” He didn’t understand what Qiao Song meant. Is it possible to switch maps at any time?

"Have you noticed that the mini-games between our two maps have a commonality, that both allow you to go through a special passage to reach another place?"

She rushed directly into the belly of the long black worm, while Gao Chengcheng rushed directly into the hollow tree stump that might be filled with mushrooms.

The most dangerous place is actually the place full of opportunities.

"Look for those fallen hollow tree stumps later to see if there are any snowy scenes or special things like black bugs inside. If you can't find any, ask your brother to smell it directly."

Gao Chengcheng paused for a few seconds before he suddenly realized: "Wow, it turns out it can be done this way!"

This entire arena is like a road that keeps moving forward, and they are divided into two maps. If they keep moving forward, they definitely cannot look back.

That is to say, once they leave this map, they can only obtain special prop cards in the current environment.

But Qiao Song is greedy and she wants both.

The official deliberately divided the players into several different maps, which must have ulterior motives. She prefers to get all the cards that can be obtained, which is safer.

After listening to Qiao Song's speculation, Gao Chengcheng decisively started a new action with his brother.

Qiao Song was also looking for a special passage on the map that could lead to Gao Chengcheng's side.

There are still many long black worms crawling out from under the ice on the ice lake. They devour some spots of aurora condensed on the ice surface. After eating, they open their mouths wide and wait with their bellies exposed for something to break through their stomachs.

Qiao Song passed by these huge black mouths, constantly distinguishing them, and finally, he caught a glimpse of a color that was obviously not right near the mouth of a black worm that flashed by in the distance.

It is completely different from the colorful aurora, a single, yet vibrant pure green!

Qiao Song turned the car around to avoid the long black worm that was still trying to drill out on the ice, and rushed in before another worm tried to break through the door.

What I saw before my eyes was no longer the colorful aurora, but a green passage with layers of wet wood on both sides.

After reaching the end of the passage, she had left the cold ice lake and came to a completely different world of mushrooms.

As expected, the new map name has been displayed on the central control display screen.

Welcome to [Mushroom Home]!
