Panting heavily, Qian Feng leaned against a nearby tree trunk, looking around in terror, large beads of sweat constantly sliding down his forehead.
"They've run so far, we shouldn't be able to catch them..." Before he could finish his wishful thinking, a white-glowing arrow pierced through the mist and struck him precisely between the eyebrows.
[Have you killed player Qian Feng? Pick up the loot?]
"yes."
[Too far away to pick up.]
It's about 200 meters from here to Qianfeng, and it's getting darker now. If we go to collect supplies and then return, there's a high chance we'll get lost.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Bai gave up on picking up the supplies and chose to turn around and return the way he came.
...
[Announcement: The Fog Island dungeon is open for a limited time. The dungeon is rich in resources, including rare fruits that boost player attributes and potions that grant immunity to fog for three days. High-level treasure chests can be found using treasure maps.]
[Note 1: There are three entrances to the Fog Island dungeon. Players should go to the entrance as soon as possible to enter the dungeon. The dungeon entrances will close after three days.]
[Note 2: Players can freely form teams within the instance.]
[We wish all players a pleasant gaming experience!]
As soon as he finished speaking, three beams of light shot into the sky from the thick fog.
A medicine to protect against fog corrosion!
What are we waiting for? Brothers, let's charge!
"Hahaha! The system is such a show-off, creating such a blinding beam of light. Is it trying to make sure everyone knows where the dungeon entrance is?"
"Hehehe, I happen to have a treasure map here, here comes the high-level treasure chest!"
...
Gu Mian looked in the direction of the pillar of light: "Shall we go over there now?"
Although it was already dark, there were still countless players suffering from the poison buff. Since they knew there were potions in the dungeon that could make them immune to the fog's erosion, they all rushed there without hesitation.
After all, resources are limited.
"Go." Jiang Bai nodded slightly.
Gu Mian held out her palm: "Then let's each have a strawberry candy while we travel."
In the deep darkness of the night, figures moved about.
Along the way, we would occasionally encounter other players. Everyone's goal was to reach the dungeon entrance, so we kept a considerable distance from each other.
The beam of light emitted a faint glow in the night, guiding all the players.
Two hours later.
"Go in." Gu Mian walked into the circle of light without hesitation.
Suddenly, a slight dizziness came over her, and then it felt like something pulled her hard, causing her to fall onto the soft grass with a "thud".
Seeing Gu Mian walk into the light without hesitation, Xu Kun and Jiang Bai frowned and quickly followed her in.
Before me lay an unfamiliar island.
Gu Mian got up from the grass and looked around.
This is a completely different place from Kirishima.
On the endless grassland, red, pink and yellow wildflowers bloom brightly and passionately, while in the distance, lush green trees provide shade and create a vibrant scene.
At the end of the woods lies a vast expanse of golden sand, connected to which flows the clear blue sea.
The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
She had only ever seen such a beautiful scene in tourism promotional videos.
Gu Mian admired the photos for a while before opening the light screen and taking a few screenshots.
At that moment, two more people fell onto the grass.
Perhaps unaccustomed to this kind of teleportation, Jiang Bai fell to the ground and remained dizzy for a long time before staggering to his feet.
"Which way do we go?" Xu Kun asked, one hand on his hip and the other on his forehead, gazing into the distance.
Gu Mian: "Look, there's a mountain peak over there. Let's go take a look."
"OK." Xu Kun had no objection, and Jiang Bai nodded, his face slightly pale.
The mountain peaks were visibly far away, so the group ate another strawberry candy before continuing their journey.
Half an hour later, Gu Mian looked at the three forks in the road ahead, turned her head and asked, "Should we go together or separate?"
“Of course we’ll go together,” Xu Kun said without hesitation.
"We can split up first." Seeing Xu Kun open his mouth to speak, Jiang Bai gestured with his hand: "The resources we can obtain by going together will be very limited. We can split up first."
If you encounter danger, immediately use the team card to invite two other people.
What do you think?
Gu Mian: "I think it's great."
Even if Jiang Bai hadn't said it, she would have brought it up.
Resources are limited. If three people go together, not to mention how much they can find, the most important thing is that they have to share it equally among themselves. It's better for each person to find their own way.
The two people in the team agreed to split up, so Xu Kun had no choice but to shut his mouth with a reluctant expression.
Gu Mian chose the middle path first. The effects of the strawberry candy were still working, so she walked very fast and soon disappeared from sight.
After walking for about half an hour, they came to another fork in the road, and Gu Mian chose to continue taking the middle path.
The journey was smooth; we didn't encounter a single high-level mutated beast or pollutant.
Along the way, all I saw were butterflies fluttering about and rabbits crouching in the grass.
Seeing no rare resources, Gu Mian was somewhat disappointed, but still chose to press on.
After an unknown amount of time, a dense forest appeared ahead.
The forest was filled with tall trees, and there wasn't even a path.
We're already quite close to the foot of the mountain, but we haven't found anything along the way, so it seems we have no choice but to climb up.
Gu Mian pursed her lips, took a sip of water, and walked into the dense forest.
The branches in the forest grew wildly, and Gu Mian carefully moved through them, soon emerging from the woods.
Before us stood a towering mountain, primitive and rugged, with only a narrow and steep path leading to it.
Gu Mian stood at the foot of the mountain, took a deep breath, and began to climb.
An hour later, Gu Mian stood panting halfway up the mountain and drank an entire bottle of mineral water in one go.
After resting for about ten minutes, just as I was about to continue climbing, I suddenly saw something strange growing on the tree in front of me.
Gu Mian hesitated for a moment, then walked over.
This is a shrub that is half a meter tall, with five small tomatoes of five different colors growing on it.
[Five-Colored Tomato: A Spirit Fruit; increases speed by 2 upon consumption; one tonic is effective.]
The cherry tomato was really tiny, only about the size of two of her fingernails. If it weren't for the variety of colors, she might not have even noticed it.
She picked all five cherry tomatoes, chose the one she liked, ate it, and then a warm feeling spread throughout her body.
I checked the data and sure enough, it increased the speed by 2 points.
After finishing the cherry tomatoes, Gu Mian's speed increased again, and she prepared to continue climbing.
At this moment, Jiang Baifa's message in the group caught her attention.
Jiang Bai: "I've opened the map for this dungeon, I'll send you a screenshot."
Gu Mian: "!!!"
Xu Kun: "Awesome, Lao Bai! I was so worried because I couldn't find any resources! This map came just in time! Love you~"
Although the screenshot is a bit small, it is very clear, and zooming in does not affect viewing at all.
