Wang Zhifan and the others then asked the two Limitless Sect guard disciples about the Limitless Sect's current approximate combat strength, as well as the force that Demon Gate might send to attack, so that they could be well aware of it.
But it was obvious that the other party could not answer these two questions very clearly, or that disciples like them did not know that much. They only answered in general terms that Demon Gate was very powerful and had many masters, but they Limitless Sect were not easy to mess with. They would fight to the death to repel the invading enemy.
After talking with these two people, the three Wang Zhifan then went to look for more targets that could provide information in the sect on the top of the mountain. However, as they had discovered before, the sect was currently in a special state. Except for a few patrolling disciples, they could not see many people at all, let alone the core figures. They were unable to access an effective source of information.
"Brother Fan, there seems to be a town at the foot of this mountain. Should we go down the mountain and continue to investigate for information?"
At this time, the three of them had arrived at the edge of the top of the mountain. They could see a classical city built along the river in the distance under the 100-foot cliff at their feet.
The city covers a large area, and you can vaguely see the traffic flowing inside, making it seem a bit prosperous and lively.
"It's too far. To be on the safe side, we'd better not go there, lest the enemy take advantage of us and attack the mountain as soon as we get there, or we might be ambushed as soon as we go out."
Wang Zhifan quickly rejected the suggestion of Chen Ming, the wheelchair-bound boy next to him. This guy wanted to go down the mountain even though he had limited mobility. It was really hard to understand.
"Brother Fan is right. The most important thing for us to clear this dungeon is to stay united and not to spread our strength and be defeated by the enemy individually."
Chu Wei on the side also agreed with Wang Zhifan's decision, but before she could finish her words, she discovered that some figures had already gone down the mountain to the foot of the mountain, heading towards the city in the distance ahead. Judging from the slightly rich colors of their clothes, it was likely that they were just a few players. "How come someone has already passed by? Aren't they afraid of being ambushed by the enemy?"
Chu Wei immediately frowned and said in surprise.
"It doesn't matter. It's a good thing that those people are willing to test something for themselves. We just need to take care of ourselves."
At this moment, Wang Zhifan also noticed the players who were going down the mountain, but compared to the fact that these people were far away from where Limitless Sect was, he was actually more concerned about the fact that these people were able to go down the mountain safely.
Because according to his understanding of dungeons, generally speaking, players cannot leave a certain area at will. Forcibly leaving will inevitably trigger the dungeon mechanism, causing things like the BOSS to go berserk.
But this time, he, Chu Wei, and Chen Ming stood on the cliff and watched the players move away from the mountain where Limitless Sect was located and headed for the city in the distance. However, nothing special happened. No enemies ambush below suddenly jumped out to attack them, nor did a big demon descend from the sky to block their way.
"Brother Fan, can we really go down the mountain? Limitless Sect won't stop them here?"
The bespectacled boy Chen Ming, who was sitting in a wheelchair, soon saw the tiny figures on the ground below who were far away from the mountain. He was a little surprised that Limitless Sect actually let these players go and let them leave.
"It's a little strange..."
Wang Zhifan fell into thinking when he saw this, only to hear him mutter, "Since our mission is to assist Limitless Sect in fighting the enemy, it is logically impossible to run that far. The dungeon will definitely set up some space restrictions... But right now It seems that this restriction does not exist before... In other words, we players can really move freely? Wouldn't it be unfair if some people took advantage of this opportunity and hid in a safe place to wait for other players who stayed in the sect to kill the enemy and enjoy the results?"
"About this situation, I heard it mentioned in the lecture in Administration."
Chu Wei on the side listened to Wang Zhifan think about it, and quickly said:
"The reason why this situation exists is that the dungeon deliberately exploits the weaknesses of human nature to increase the difficulty of the dungeon.
For example, some players have left now. If they do not come back when the battle occurs, it is equivalent to a reduction in our strength, which will undoubtedly increase the chance of the copy failing.
Moreover, this kind of behavior of these people can easily lead to more extreme situations, that is, the vast majority of players have left the battlefield due to psychological imbalance or loss of confidence in fighting, and the results may be unimaginable..."
"Can it still be like this? So... if everyone runs away, this dungeon will definitely fail. What will be the fate of our players after failure? Will we be forcibly wiped out by the dungeon? Or will we be forced to exit the real world?"
Chu Wei's statement immediately aroused the interest of Wang Zhifan. He had never encountered such a copy with a loophole trap before.
"This was also mentioned in the lecture."
When Chu Wei saw Wang Zhifan asking, a look of thinking and recollection immediately appeared on her delicate face.
"It is said that doing so will cause the player to lose the possibility of completing the dungeon, but the player has not died, so he will remain in the dungeon and will never be able to return to the real world. At the same time, the player will also be unable to enter the next instance because the current dungeon is not completed."
Chu Wei thought for a while and said.
"Is there such a good thing?"
Wang Zhifan immediately became happy when he heard it.
"In this way, players can directly choose a dungeon world with better conditions and stay there this way. It also avoids the danger of downloading dungeons again and again."
He felt like he had found a way out of the control of copies.
"How could such a good thing happen..."
Chu Wei was a little speechless when she saw Wang Zhifan being so alert. She continued, "Administration has had cases in this regard. Those who rely on this method to stay in the dungeon world are not free from now on., they will either be endlessly pursued by enemies in the dungeon world, and will not be able to return to the real world no matter how many enemies they kill, or they will be directly set as dungeon targets by the dungeon and become the targets of subsequent waves of players, and in the end they will undoubtedly face the fate of death."
"Sister Chu, how do you Administration know about this kind of thing?"
After listening to Chu Wei, Chen Ming, who was listening attentively next to him, immediately asked curiously.
"Because there have been actual cases, and there are more than one, including one of our Administration people who stayed in the dungeon world, and were eventually killed as dungeon targets by Administration's colleagues who entered the dungeon later."
Chu Wei answered immediately.
"If the person who enters the dungeon later doesn't kill him, can't we just stay in the dungeon world together?"
Wang Zhifan replied immediately after hearing this.
"Impossible,"
Chu Wei shook his head at this,
"That person had completely turned into a lunatic when the person who came in later found him. The situation at that time was that he and the player who came in later had to die on at least one side. There was no possibility of coexistence."
