Chapter 246 A Struggle of Disappointment, Melancholy
Several new locations have appeared on the map.
Each player can see a rough map with only simple markers for mountains, rivers, and lakes. A few locations will have names, but most others will not have any markers.
The primary function of a map is probably to display coordinates.
However, now, several more markers have appeared on everyone's maps, with names on them. Among them, the words for Disappointment Forest, Broken Heart Lake, and Delusion River are green, while those for Heartbreak Valley and Heart-Slaying Pavilion are light gray.
Furthermore, the roads near these locations have been mapped out and numbered.
Now, the players are excited:
"Hahaha, I get it! The game is asking us to go to these places to find Lady Yingyue!"
"Yes, yes, that's so thoughtful! Although there are no specific coordinates, they did provide the road number. That's great!"
"Hurry up, hurry up! The reward for completing the task is amazing! Not only can you get a diamond membership, but you might even become a master disciple!"
"I'm so envious of this reward! After becoming a master's disciple, will I be able to refine all sorts of potions? Wouldn't I be rich then?"
"Hahaha, it's not just a windfall, becoming the master's only disciple means you can walk sideways in the entire region!"
"Yes, even Ji Xinghan has to back down!"
Arrogant: "Hmph, since I can find the key to opening the service area, I can help the master win back his wife. What is Ji Xinghan compared to me?"
Long Shisan: "Yes, yes, yes, keep it up!"
Long Si: "Quick, anyone near the 1103 line? Need a ride?"
Long Shisan: "Brother, what's the rush? We're a big gang, there must be one or two of us near the line, right? Hehehe, those lone wolves are out of luck!"
The players were eager to find people and figure out a way to get to the vicinity of those five areas.
Zhang Xiaoxiao also got anxious: "Boss Ji, shall we set off too?"
Ji Xinghan shook his head: "Wait a little longer!"
With such generous rewards, how could it be so easy?
It's better to wait and see.
Jin Baiwan, Jian Lin, and the others also began to take action. Although they were fighting alone, they had many friends. If their friends happened to be in a gang and the gang members had already arrived at several locations nearby, they could go there as well.
It's just a matter of recruiting someone and giving them some benefits.
Soon, players gathered in five areas, all near locations such as Lost Forest and Broken Heart Lake.
It was lunchtime, so she needed to eat something first.
Jiang Youyou sent over lunch, which was still very plentiful. After Ji Xinghan and Zhang Xiaoxiao finished lunch, the chat channel was already bustling with activity.
So many players have gone, but to this day, not a single one has been able to enter those five areas.
It's simple, you can't get in!
There are many rocks and trees near the Forest of Disappointment, and many players get lost there. They wander around and easily end up back at the dot, and they also encounter many strange beasts.
The area around Broken Heart Lake is dotted with lakes of varying sizes, and the surrounding land is damp. People wander around and around, but they can't find the real Broken Heart Lake at all.
There are also strange beasts, which are very troublesome. Most importantly, there are various viruses here, and everyone can easily become weak or injured if they are not careful.
The Broken River is even harder to find; no one has been able to find its edge yet.
As for Lu Xin Pavilion and Jue Qing Valley, don't even think about it. All routes are very far away from there. Because the environment is complicated, there are no players nearby. Very few players can go there. Even if you go, you are still far from your destination by now.
It's said that, according to estimates, they should be able to arrive by tonight, but who dares to spend the night outside? It's too dangerous.
Another hour passed, and Ji Xinghan glanced at the chat channel.
The chat channel was filled with complaints:
"I cried. I went around in circles seven or eight times, but why do I always end up back where I started?"
"Then you're lucky. You've gone through so many detours and haven't been poisoned yet. I think I've been infected with a weakness virus and I'm already back."
"I was near Broken Heart Lake when I accidentally stepped into a swamp. There were seven of us, and six of us died. Now I'm back in my RV, and I'm never going there again!"
"This mission is good, but in just three hours, 4,000 people have died!"
"Do you know why? Because there are many players, so it's easy to run into them, and once you run into them, you kill them, so people die faster and more often."
The death toll surged as everyone rushed to complete their missions.
Zhang Xiaoxiao turned pale and never mentioned doing the mission again.
Suddenly, Ji Xinghan heard a "ding-dong" sound; the jade stone had made a sound again.
She took it out and glanced at it. Another line of text appeared on it: "Urgently need Iron Claw Black Wolf blood, 100% pure kind. We're out of it. What should we do?"
Ji Xinghan touched the jade stone and fell into deep thought.
There should be someone on the other side, or rather, an NPC, who now needs 100% pure Ironclaw Black Wolf blood.
However, she had no idea who was on the other side, so even if she got the Black Wolf Blood, she couldn't hand it over!
She wanted to reply, but after looking at the options, she still didn't know how to respond.
Why don't we try to find some black wolf blood?
Ji Xinghan asked in the survival group: "Have you seen the Black Wolf?"
Five minutes passed before Ge Xiaochuan spoke: "Black Wolf, I've seen him once, but I've forgotten where he is. Hey, where are Jin Baiwan and Jian Lin? Why aren't they saying anything?"
Several more minutes passed before Jian Lin spoke, her voice weak and feeble: "I think I've seen it before, but I've forgotten."
Jin Baiwan's voice was slightly better than Jian Lin's, with a bit more strength: "What's wrong with you? Did we just meet? Weren't we just chased into the cave by the Black Wolf? Huh? Jian Lin, what are you doing?"
There was no sound again.
Ji Xinghan was worried.
Every time she asked a question, Jian Lin and Jin Baiwan would answer immediately, but this time it took so long, and their voices were clearly different.
What about Song Zhuo?
Song Zhuo sighed, "It seems like something's not quite right between us..."
Jian Lin: "Waaaa, my legs hurt, they really hurt so much."
Jin Baiwan's voice weakened considerably: "No, Jian Lin, what's wrong with you today? Your leg is just scraped, why is it hurting so much?"
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat: "Where are you? What's wrong? Are you together?"
Ge Xiaochuan immediately said, "They said they were going to go to the Forest of Despair as a team, but I had something to do and couldn't participate. The three of them stayed together. Have you already entered the Forest of Despair?"
There was silence for another half a day.
Ji Xinghan panicked: "Jian Lin, Jin Baiwan? Song Zhuo? What's wrong with you?"
Song Zhuo's voice grew weaker and weaker: "Actually, we weren't seriously injured, and it seems we're fine now..."
Jian Lin: "Ugh...it's so congested!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, Shiyi Lin is so amazing!"
Ji Xinghan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Check the chat channel!"
Suddenly someone said in the chat channel, "What should I do? My teammate suddenly went berserk, charged into the pack of black wolves, and died!"
"Is it in the Forest of Despair?"
"What? Isn't the Forest of Disappointment supposed to be difficult to enter? There seems to be a maze here. Has someone already gone in?"
"I don't know where it is, all I know is that two of my three teammates suddenly became depressed, leaning against trees with expressions of utter despair..."
"We've only just entered a dense forest. Is it the Forest of Despair? This forest is really eerie; it makes me inexplicably unhappy!"
Qi Xiangxiang: "I suggest everyone leave immediately!"
Qi Xiangxiang: "The Forest of Despair contains a virus that can make people depressed and even suicidal. Come out quickly!"
