Three extremely huge trees, with a mysterious equilateral triangle space in between.
At the center of the triangle, there is an empty coffin.
The first few senior players entered the triangular area to explore the way.
They looked around and didn't see any suspicious figures or hear any suspicious sounds.
It seemed as if some kind of purification barrier was activated inside the space. Although the outside world was dark and turbid, the inside was full of light and tranquility.
The leaders of the All Survivors Guild mustered up their courage and stretched their necks to look inside the coffin.
The coffin was pitch black and the bottom couldn't be seen. There must be a more special space inside.
He looked carefully for a long time but didn't see any suspicious figures.
Seeing this, the other players also came over, examining the coffin from all angles. One player even took advantage of his longer equipment to reach inside and stir it vigorously.
"There's nothing in there."
"An empty coffin? That's strange."
"Yes. Since there are direct clues leading us here, players who failed the game were also teleported here, and there is also the sacrifice that the little sister of the Orphan Alliance mentioned."
"All the evidence proves that there must be clues to the circle hidden here. Perhaps it's the so-called leader of the circle."
"My guess is that certain conditions must be triggered before the Circle Master will appear, right?"
"Cut down the tree? Or smash the coffin?"
"I advise you to be less reckless. The Circle Master must be too powerful. He's not as easy to deal with as the dungeon NPC."
Several players from the Orphan Alliance observed carefully for a long time but could not find any clues.
Yu Qimiao subconsciously raised his head and searched for Su Qiong in the crowd. "Su Qiong, can you trigger the hidden hint?"
Su Jing fell far behind the crowd and did not enter the hidden space.
His light body rose and fell, like a dead leaf drifting in the wind, exuding a sense of desolation for no reason.
"Su Jing?" Yu Qimiao's tone was tinged with doubt.
Lu Shufan: "Yuyu, don't call me snacks anymore. If the Circle Master suddenly shows up, he'll be killed in seconds with his low level."
Shi Yuntian: "Wait until we kill the Circle Master, then let Su Qiong come over."
"...Yeah." Yu Qimiao responded randomly and looked at the coffin again.
The mind is out of control and some dangerous thoughts arise.
——The coffin was opened. What was originally lying inside?
——Qi Yi said that the players who failed in the game, as well as the players who are still alive, are all sacrifices. What kind of sacrifices are they?
——Who will they sacrifice to?
The circle leader must be an NPC.
In the huge "IN OFF" novice area, there is only one NPC, Su Jian.
He has no body.
To redeem his body, a KPI of 5 million is required.
Upon learning this, Yu Qi Miao even calculated that five million was equivalent to killing every player in the novice zone once.
Yu Qimiao looked back at the giant tree.
The total number of players trapped in the white fruit and those still alive in the survival base is five million.
Calculated at the lowest level...
It is just the right time to exchange for a complete body for Su Jing.
Yu Qimiao stopped his thoughts in time.
I can't think any further.
"Hey, Captain Yu." Players from other guilds called him.
"I remember there's a white-named NPC bound to your team, right? Let him come over."
"Yes, the white-named NPCs know the game better and can trigger hidden clues, which is more efficient than us blindly searching."
"No." Yu Qimiao refused directly.
"President Yu, don't be so stingy. Let's make a deal, shall we?"
Lu Shufan chimed in, "Yuyu, call Su Jian over. There are many masters here with levels exceeding two digits. Let them protect Xiao Dianxin."
"No." Yu Qimiao was extremely firm.
"Fish Seven Seconds!" The other guild leaders were furious. "Look, it's already late. Don't just think about your own interests."
"That's right! If we don't find a way to leave, we'll all die in the Novice Zone."
"If the novice zone disintegrates and we haven't left yet, our brains will freeze, and you've seen the consequences."
Yu Qimiao pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Even the teammates nearby were confused by Yu Qimiao's attitude.
What happened to Yu Qi Miao?
He used to be the one with the best overall view.
Besides, the top players around have already made their stance clear, willing to protect Su Qiong. Calling Su Qiong over to trigger the clue shouldn't be a big deal, right?
"No..." Yu Qimiao opened his mouth and was about to refuse again.
"I'm here." Su Jing floated over on his own initiative.
Maybe it was Shi Yuntian’s illusion.
He always felt that this weak NPC's voice wasn't as sweet as before.
Su Jing didn't say much.
He had a rough guess in his mind, but didn't dare to think about it in detail.
Su Jian was also very curious about what would happen if he approached the coffin.
Marshmallow floated over to the coffin and pulled out a bandage.
Nothing happened.
Su Jing waited patiently for a while, but the coffin did not respond at all and he did not trigger any clues.
It’s okay to have no reaction!
I must be overthinking it!
"No clues~" Su Qi looked at Yu Qimiao and opened the bracelet to show him, "The system didn't give me any hints."
"That's it." Yu Qimiao, far from being disappointed, breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay. You said before that your level is very low. Of course, you can't trigger the circle master's NPC."
"Yes!" Su Jing nodded heavily.
After all, he is just an NPC with very low authority and combat power close to 0. How could he possibly trigger the clue of his 'direct leader'?
Impossible.
"whispering sound."
"That's it?"
The surrounding players were full of disappointment.
It is indeed a very stupid idea to pin your hopes of entering the circle on the NPCs in the circle.
It seems that if you want to successfully enter the circle, you still have to rely on the power of top players.
Speaking of top players, the leaders of several major guilds once again turned their attention to A, who stayed at the end and refused to join any player team.
"A, I know you. I've heard a lot about you."
The vice president of the Jijing Guild first squeezed through the crowd and came to A.
"Are you interested in joining the Extreme Realm?"
"No." A refused without saying another word.
The president of the All Survival Guild took the opportunity to extend an olive branch, "Would you like to join All Survival? We don't have any restrictions on team members. Even if you join, you can act according to your own ideas."
Before A could answer, the Vice President of Jijing started to sneer, "That's nice to say, but you have no ability to restrain A. You just want to bring him into the team and use him as a protective umbrella, right?"
All Survivors retorted, "Speaking of exploitation, Jijing wants to exploit A more, right?"
"What did you say?"
A heard the two guilds arguing and felt annoyed. He walked past them and went straight to Su Jian in the triangular area.
"Ah!" the Vice President of Jijing shouted, "Which guild do you want to join?"
A didn't even turn around, his tone full of disgust, "I don't associate with ants."
The Extreme State, known as the 'Ant', and everyone else's survival, all showed an annoyed expression.
Indeed, most of the players in the guild joined the organization to seek shelter because they were afraid of death and their own strength was too weak.
The survival rate of "IN OFF" is so low that no matter what method is used, as long as they can survive longer, it will be a blessing for them.
A actually called them ants!
No matter how weak the ants are, they can have the power to break the dam if they stick together.
"Isn't it just a higher level? What's the big deal?"
"He was lucky enough to enter a single-player dungeon. All the resources in the dungeon belong to him alone."
"See you next time in a multiplayer dungeon, and let him experience the power of a large guild."
"Brothers and sisters, there's no need to be angry with this guy. How great does he think he is? He's only second, and the first one hasn't even spoken yet."
The ERROR ranked first in the player rankings is due to the speed of clearing the dungeon being too fast.
So far, very few players have seen ERROR himself, let alone recruited him to join the guild.
The top management of Jijing and Everyone Survives secretly planned to pull ERROR into their own guild and give A a slap in the face.
"Su Jing." A came to the triangular area. The surrounding players were afraid of him and tacitly opened a path for him.
A walked straight to Su Qiong and asked, "No movement?"
"Yeah!" Su Qi nodded heavily, "I even lay down in it, look!"
In order to prove his words, Su Jing lay in the coffin and closed the coffin lid with great effort.
Countless branches hanging from treetops were tied to the coffin board.
When Su Jian entered, the branches just shook twice, and then nothing happened.
"I was in there, untying the bandages and wrapping them up again, but nothing happened." Su Qiong pushed open the coffin lid and floated out, saying seriously, "It's just like the outside world except it's pitch black and quiet. I think you must have misunderstood."
The dungeon NPC let Su Jian stay in the dungeon, probably because boy S liked Su Jian and wanted to keep him there.
It has nothing to do with the circle, not a cent at all.
"Well, maybe." A looked at Su Jing, then looked at the coffin which was indeed motionless, and frowned slightly.
Even if Su Jian did not trigger any abnormalities, A still couldn't feel at ease.
Because A knew clearly that the clue was given by Mr. S and was related to the circle, so half of the sentence was blurred.
"IN OFF" has a strict hierarchy system, and clues will only be blurred when higher-level NPCs are involved.
Su Jing is only level 1, and Mr. S is a full 30 levels higher than him.
If there is no hidden secret, why would the clue be blurred?
"So, there really is no Circle Master in this place?"
Yu Qimiao nodded in relief, "That's what I saw."
"Oh, this is so boring. I thought I could enter the circle after defeating the boss."
"Let's disperse and find another way."
"Wait, are we just going to leave like this? What about the players who were devoured?"
"Who made them fail the copy?"
"We can't even protect ourselves now, how can we have the energy to save them?"
"Hey, you guys..." Qi Yi looked at the players walking away, then raised her head and looked at a ginkgo fruit on the tree, saying loudly, "There really is a way to enter the circle hidden here. You believe in Moi!"
"Little sister, please speak the truth. Uncle is very busy now and has no time to play house with you."
"I'm not lying!" Qi Yi said anxiously, "You haven't seen the Circle Master because the sacrifice hasn't started yet. As soon as the sacrifice begins, the Circle Master will appear."
"Tell me, there are still more than ten hours left before the novice zone is dismantled. When do you plan to start the sacrifice?"
"Do we have to wait until everyone is dead before we start the sacrifice?"
"No, it's not." Qi Yi's eyes turned red and she lowered her head helplessly.
Su Qi quickly floated over, fulfilling his mission of guiding the NPCs, "Calm down..."
Before he could finish his words, a crackling sound of tearing was heard in the sky.
Su Jing looked up and found that the entrance to copy three had been torn open!
