Chapter 170: Dragon Valley (2)
After the NPC was frightened unconscious by the huge rock falling from the sky, he fell into a dazed and delirious state and could not be woken up no matter how much he was called.
The crowd had no choice but to take turns carrying him and continue on their way.
Of course, there were complaints along the way. After all, no one had ever seen such a scene. No matter whether the NPC was friendly or hostile, it should at least announce some background settings at the beginning of the game. This NPC fainted directly, wasting everyone's energy in vain. What's going on?
There is only one road here, which is this valley with narrow walls on both sides. The road is very narrow and can only accommodate two people walking side by side. The ground and the rock walls are very dry, almost without any grass. Only sand and gravel can be seen.
Apart from the player's own footsteps and breathing, there is almost no other sound when walking on this mountain road, not even the sound of wind or birds singing.
Soon the sun came out. Although there was only a small strip of sky above our heads, the outrageous thing was that the sunlight actually fell right from above.
The roads were illuminated by the sunlight into a whitish golden color, and the feeling when it shone on people was even more amazing.
The sun was so hot that people couldn't open their eyes and they were sweating profusely. What's more, each of them had to carry a backpack and take turns carrying the NPC.
Soon people started complaining.
"What the hell? I'd rather have three ghosts chop me with knives when we meet."
"Just play games, why do you have to go to training right away?"
"Let's sit down and rest for a while." Someone suggested, "I think we have some water in our bags."
According to Su Yue, this desolate road is extremely deserted and should be fought quickly, but it is also natural for players to feel tired and want to rest.
It was not appropriate to act alone at the beginning of the game, so he did not move forward and sat down with everyone else.
There were mountain walls on both sides, which just happened to serve as chair backs. After the man who first suggested taking a break sat down, his expression became much happier. He gulped down two mouthfuls of water and said contentedly, "That's much better. I suggest we just rest here for a while, okay—"
Before he finished speaking, a low roar suddenly came from above his head. At the same time, the person who spoke looked down at his arm in surprise.
A cool breeze blew, and he suddenly found that the place where he was standing was covered by a circular shadow.
.
It happened so suddenly that the man was stunned for a moment. Su Yue, who was watching, had already realized what was going to happen and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
If Su Yue had just told him to be careful of falling rocks, the man might have thought about it, but when Su Yue shouted to get out of the way, he of course reacted.
After all, he was also a player who had survived a near-death experience in the survival game. Before Su Yue finished speaking, the man had already stood up quickly and walked out of the shadow range. Because he walked too fast, he bumped into the people behind him and stumbled down.
Amidst the commotion, huge rocks fell.
With a loud bang, the huge rock fell to the ground as heavily as the previous one.
In an instant, the earth shook and the dirt flew everywhere. The two people who were standing very close to each other could not see each other clearly, let alone hear each other's voices. The narrow walls on both sides seemed to be shaken to the point of collapsing towards the middle.
If the person was still standing there, he would probably be dead by now.
There was another strange noise in the sky. Everyone heard the sound and looked up in panic.
A massive black shadow flew past the narrow crevice of the mountain, wings spread wide, like a cloud obscuring the sun. The shadow flew swiftly, and in a flash it flew high into the sky, leaving only the shadow of its long tail flickering on the ground before disappearing.
.
Deathly silence lasted for several minutes before someone finally said, "That thing is... a dragon?"
"It seems so." Su Yue said.
He looked back and saw Cang Zhi standing beside him. Cang Zhi had been keeping a safe distance just now, but when the falling rocks came, he immediately leaned towards Su Yue.
Su Yue didn't drive him away.
"That's the dragon that's throwing rocks down, right?" Zhao Shuo said. "Since this is the Dragon Valley, it's probably been throwing rocks more than once or twice. I think we should hurry up."
Speaking of the Dragon Valley, someone angrily kicked the explorer who had fainted on the ground.
"It's all this idiot's fault for insisting on coming to see the Dragon Valley."
"If it weren't for him we wouldn't be in this place."
"Let's leave him here and go."
But soon someone said, "Brother, this is a game. You have to stay here whether he's here or not. So clear your mind."
Seeing the group about to start a quarrel, Zhao Shuo reluctantly stepped forward to maintain order on behalf of the boss: "Hey everyone! Are we going to stand here and get stoned? Let's get on with our business!"
Everyone continued forward, but now no one wanted to bring the explorer with them. After all, this NPC couldn't provide any information, and he added over a hundred pounds of weight to everyone, which was unbearable in this scorching heat.
Only Su Yue and Cang Zhi took turns carrying the NPC, and they walked behind the team.
The players in front turned around to look at them from time to time, as if they were lamenting that these two people were not very smart. Similarly, they also felt that Zhao Shuo, who was obviously on the same side as them, was not very smart either.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a small town.
.
The town is at the bottom of the valley. The terrain is open, but the location is also obviously low. The spire of the town’s tallest bell tower does not seem to be higher than a person’s shoulders. The whole town seems to be held in a bowl.
Along this road, there was another dragon throwing stones down, but the players were already used to it and could easily dodge it.
Until they reached the outside of the town, the player in front was walking in with a swagger. Suddenly, with a "clang" sound, two black spears shot out from the sentry boxes on both sides at the same time, crossing in front of the players to form an "X" shape that blocked the road.
Two fully armed soldiers stood in the guardhouse, staring at everyone grimly through their iron masks.
If the player had walked a little faster, he would have been chopped into a medley by these two shots.
Now, although the two spears were just placed there coldly, showing no intention of further attack, the player was already sweating profusely, his face was pale, and he almost fell to his knees.
Because so far, this game is too weird, there is no rules, and death threats appear suddenly.
If I knew a little bit about the game settings, I could at least avoid danger, but now it seems like everything depends on reaction.
"Who are you?" the soldier guarding the city asked coldly.
Su Yue replied: "We are explorers who came here."
"Explorers?" the soldier guarding the city repeated in a calm tone, "Where are your passes?"
Pass?
Everyone was stunned.
Seeing that they didn't respond, the guards' tone grew even colder. "This town is in a state of emergency. Anyone entering without a pass will be considered a trespasser and executed."
As he spoke, the soldiers guarding the city raised their hands.
As he moved, there was a rustling sound in the grass around the small open space, and a large number of bows and arrows quietly appeared, with the black arrows pointing at the people standing outside the town gate.
With just a command from the city guards, these bows and arrows can string all the players together like hedgehogs.
The soldiers guarding the city raised their voices: "Prepare—"
"Wait a moment." Su Yue said.
The soldier was forced to hold back the word "fire", and his face behind the mask turned green with anger.
The soldier asked sarcastically, "What's the matter? Anyone without a pass will be executed. Are you interrupting me now? Do you want me to get you a barrel of wine before you die?"
"That's not the case. I'm still a little distance away from death." Su Yue said, grabbing the unconscious NPC on his back and pulling a necklace from his neck.
The necklace's pendant is a small silver piece inlaid with a flying dragon.
Su Yue picked up the pendant and handed it to the soldier: "Is this the pass you mentioned?"
