Unlike the towering buildings of the virtual battlefield, entering Rongcheng is like entering a primeval forest, where unseen dangers lurk amidst the greenery.
Longyue opened her personal computer and scanned a plant with purple leaves at her feet. All the plant's information appeared in the personal computer.
Plant name: Perilla leaf.
Function: A medicine used to relieve exterior syndromes caused by wind and cold. It was only effective for humans from a hundred years ago and is ineffective for modern humans. It can be consumed as food.
Zhu Yan led the way. Although the area was overgrown with weeds, the many people who came and went had worn out many small paths.
As the saying goes, a road is formed by the many people walking on it. The road they are walking on is also the road that everyone is walking on.
"Although this is a level 5 battlefield, I do not recommend that you do missions in the central area. Don't be fooled by the fact that the environment there is more familiar to you. Even level 6 or 7 martial artists would not dare to step into it lightly."
Zhu Yan strolled leisurely in front of Longyue and Li Hei, looking relaxed and content.
"Hmm?" Longyue had not looked at the map of Rongcheng, so she did not know this.
Li Hei thought for a moment and explained, "The central area of Rongcheng has maintained the city's appearance from a hundred years ago. It's actually quite strange. When the spiritual energy was revived, the entire Rongcheng was enveloped in it, but the only areas that mutated were the outer and inner areas."
"There are more monsters in the central area than outside. It is said that there are hundreds of monsters in there at a glance, and they are all combat types."
"I see!" Longyue said, indicating that she understood.
Many level-five martial artists around me were walking this path. Some were cautiously looking left and right, while others were hurrying along.
Many people come with the intention of making money, after all, most of them are ordinary people who have worked hard for over a hundred years and still have difficulty saving enough money to buy a house.
However, going to the battlefield is a different story. If you're lucky, you can earn a considerable income that can be equivalent to several years' salary. If you're even luckier, you won't have to worry about money.
"Let's go this way." Longyue frowned as she looked at the growing crowd around her. While more people meant more safety, danger and opportunity coexisted.
"Can!"
Zhu Yan agreed, saying it didn't matter where they went, "You guys decide."
The path in the direction Oborozuki pointed was almost completely overgrown with weeds. The sunlight overhead filtered sparsely through the dense tree branches, casting a dim and chilly glow on the ground.
"Tsk, are you stupid? That road looks dangerous. Why not just stay alive?"
Passersby who saw the three of them, including Oborozuki, mocked them.
"What if they really have the ability? That's better than someone like you who just talks nonsense!"
Some people expressed their appreciation, saying that courageous people deserve encouragement.
Actually, not all teams have a good relationship with the team leader assigned by the camp. Some people think that the team leader is experienced and it's always good to listen to the team leader.
Some people felt that the captain was unnecessary, as he was too controlling, forbidding people from doing this or touching that.
Li Hei led the way, with the weeds ahead already half a person tall. If there were any small monsters hiding in them, they might not be able to see them.
Since entering the battlefield, Longyue's hearing has become exceptionally sharp. This is something she developed through countless trials in her previous life. No ability is innate. If heaven gives you this ability, it will always take back what originally belonged to you.
Longyue walked behind, while Zhu Yan hid in a corner, watching Longyue and Li Hei's performance. He didn't want his presence to affect their performance.
He wanted to see if the two of them were qualified to get the spot.
Of all those participating in the Level 5 battlefield, aside from Level 5 martial artists, everyone else can place bets on people they admire. If their chosen person reaches the target, they can profit from it. This is an extra income; the amount doesn't matter, the point is the excitement of participating.
"rustle!"
"Squeak!"
"Li Hei, stop!"
Longyue stopped and took the dagger distributed in the camp. She didn't look too nervous, but her body was already in combat mode, allowing her to make the right move in the shortest amount of time.
"What's wrong?" Li Hei looked at Longyue with a puzzled expression, but his eyes turned cold when he saw that Longyue had become alert.
"Something's coming! A rustling sound, and there are a lot of them!" Longyue described the sound she heard, while pondering what kind of monster could make such a sound.
Li Hei didn't hear anything, but after hearing what Longyue said, he prepared for battle. They were teammates now, and Li Hei didn't believe that Longyue would lie to him about something like this. She wasn't stupid; what could she gain from doing something so thankless?
In the shadows, Zhu Yan watched Longyue's retreating figure and smiled meaningfully. Of the two, he had originally favored Li Hei, but he hadn't expected that this girl would discover the monster so early, which was quite unexpected.
The rustling sound was approaching, and in less than thirty seconds, Li Hei heard it too. Just as Longyue had said, there were many of them.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Longyue looked up at Li Hei, and at that moment, Li Hei also looked at Longyue.
"Bloodthirsty beast!"
The two looked at each other and said the answer they had just thought of, their expressions changing simultaneously.
I never expected to encounter bloodthirsty beasts right away. If it were just one or two, it wouldn't matter, but the problem is that these things appear in groups, at least forty or fifty of them.
Each adult bloodthirsty beast is half a meter tall but weighs over two hundred kilograms. Its entire body is covered in shiny black fur, and its two eyes are scarlet, like two small lanterns embedded in them. On its pointed face, long, sharp teeth protrude from its mouth.
A pair of jet-black, shiny claws can tear a gash in a human body the moment they make contact. What the bloodthirsty beast loves to eat most are human internal organs.
The original form of the Bloodthirsty Beast is the rat from the world before the spiritual energy revival. Back then, rats were so small that humans could easily crush them with one foot. Now, let alone one foot, even two feet wouldn't be enough to eliminate them.
In the past, if you were bitten by a rat, you could just go to the hospital for a rabies vaccination. Now, if you're bitten by a bloodthirsty beast, well, that's like losing an arm or a leg.
The bite force of a bloodthirsty beast is enough to tear apart any part of a human body.
"Climb the tree!"
Running away is definitely out of the question. If it really is a Bloodthirsty Beast, then it's worth of points. Since the Bloodthirsty Beast's teeth have a special function and it's difficult to deal with, the points corresponding to a Bloodthirsty Beast are quite good. One Bloodthirsty Beast can be exchanged for fifty points.
It's considered to be in the upper-middle tier among battlefield monsters.
Li Hei was tempted by the points, but Longyue was even more tempted!
