Zhou Jue (ID [ Zhongde ]) has recently stopped attending classes at 8 AM, as he and his roommates are engrossed in " World of Disorder ".
At six o'clock in the morning, the day's games were coming to an end.
Since they had formed a mobile squad, the group focused their activities on White Wax Town. When they had nothing else to do, they would play easy-difficulty Dungeon to practice their teamwork and also farm some experience and materials.
Just as the group was about to go to the newly opened [ White Wax Town Adventurers' Guild ] to see if there were any new items available, a knocking sound suddenly came from the edge of White Wax Town.
Although the sound didn't have the lingering resonance of the bronze bell above the White Wax Town Church, it instantly broke the tranquility of the approaching dusk.
After a brief moment of thought, the four immediately understood what had happened.
It's Blood Corpse! A watchtower must have discovered Blood Corpse.
"Let's go!"
[ Zhongde ] shouted and led his three roommates to the nearest Teleportation Tree.
To facilitate player teleportation, Ed thoughtfully placed a set of Teleportation Tree in each of the eight directions and the center of White Wax Town. These strange plants, twisted together and with hollow branches, thus revealed their abyssal maw to everyone.
At first, the natives of White Wax Town and the Baron's Territory were quite afraid of this, but when they saw the Soul Returner going in and out of the tree, their worries were largely dispelled.
After all, this wasn't the first strange plant that wouldn't attack people; they had also seen plants that could spit out items to trade with people, and plants that could ensure the rest of the Soul Returner.
After learning that they wouldn't be forcibly put into the Teleportation Tree, the ordinary believers were even less worried and showed no resistance except for walking around the Teleportation Tree every day.
[ Zhongde ] and his three companions were already near the church when they heard the alarm and immediately ran towards the Teleportation Tree located in the center of town.
After confirming the teleportation destination on the player panel, [ Zhongde ] felt his surroundings instantly widen, as if his soul had been ejected from his body and launched into the air.
At that moment, his vision became a sphere with no blind spots, allowing him to clearly see every detail in every direction—up, down, left, right, front, and back.
But before he could even fully appreciate this wondrous sight, his soul began to travel at breakneck speed.
The surrounding scenery was distorted and elongated due to the high speed of movement. [ Zhongde ] could only see clumps of shrubs of various shapes and large, menacing trees. Before he could make any specific distinctions, the 360-degree panoramic view experience card had already expired.
[ Zhongde ] was suddenly plunged into darkness, then the light returned, and everything went back to normal.
Feeling his body brimming with power, [ Zhongde ] stepped out of the Teleportation Tree.
He was naturally unaware that his current body was no longer the same one he had just possessed, but the perfectly replicated husk did not negatively affect his movements in any way.
Twisting his arm as he walked out of the Teleportation Tree, [ Zhongde ] asked the NPC Darnell beside him:
Where is the Blood Corpse?
Darnell pointed towards the end of the jungle:
"Over here, there's a leader, and there are about two hundred of them in total."
Two hundred?
Upon hearing this number, [ Zhongde ]'s expression immediately became very subtle.
This was clearly a problem that four people couldn't solve, but from his own selfish perspective, he didn't really want to give these monsters that had come to him to other people.
After thinking it over, [ Zhongde ] looked at the NPCs around him.
Apart from Darnell, whose face still showed some composure, the other three, although all middle-aged, seemed somewhat lost and bewildered at this moment.
[ Zhongde ] sighed inwardly. To him, " World of Disorder " was just a game, but to them, it was the world they lived in.
Sometimes, Zhongde didn't understand why the developers made the game so realistic, which made him feel guilty whenever he had dark thoughts, a feeling he didn't have in other games.
The three roommates emerged one by one from the Teleportation Tree behind them. [ Zhongde ] looked at [ Add Ice Fiercely ], [ Brain Bling ], and [ Enemy from the Sky ] and briefly explained his thoughts.
After a brief discussion, the four people from dormitory 303 of a university in the real world reached a consensus and sent the news of the arrival of the Blood Corpse to the forum, along with the markers on the real-time map.
This way, players both inside and outside the game can quickly learn about the news.
After sending the coordinates, [ Zhongde ] looked at the three people:
"The location coordinates have already been shared. Let's see who dares to say we're hogging it."
"But we can't let anyone else have this first bite..."
He looked at Darnell and the other three, then put on a mask that read "Reliable Soul Returner ":
"You did a great job, you can go and rest now."
Between the watchtower and White Wax Town, there is a small village called " Woodland Village ". The population of this village is even smaller than that of the Upperstream Village. Because it is only a few miles away from White Wax Town, they were among the first to learn that White Wax Town had changed hands, and thus they were extremely cooperative.
A group of young people from Woodland Village have already gone to work in White Wax Town, leaving some houses vacant. So, whether Darnell and the others want to rest nearby or return to their homes in White Wax Town, it's up to them. After the battle here ends, someone will notify them to return to the watchtower.
The four disappeared behind him, and [ Zhongde ] looked at the wilderness ahead.
The chaotic footsteps could no longer be concealed; hundreds of Blood Corpse had caught the scent of living people and began their charge from their initial slow movements.
[ Zhongde ]'s right hand began to undergo Directed Alienation, with a triangular blade with a blood groove gradually lengthening until it reached a length comparable to his forearm.
Although he was close to reaching level three, [ Zhongde ] hadn't spent much time practicing Directed Alienation, so he couldn't Alienation the blade to be very long, which would only make it easier to break.
After several attempts, the current blade length is the limit he can control. In just over ten seconds, a thick layer of skin has grown on his left hand and left forearm, and when he clenches his fist, you can see the spikes protruding from the back of his hand and the surface of his fist.
The other three also drew their weapons. [ Add Ice Fiercely ] pulled out the short spear favored by beginners, [ Brain Bling ] brandished the Graycast Corridor standard dagger and a small round shield, and [ Enemy from the Sky ] inserted a disposable Strangler Fig figurine sample into the side of his neck...
As newbies who had only been playing for a short time, the three of them had very ordinary equipment, but at this moment, they showed no fear on their faces.
The roars of the Blood Corpse were now clearly audible. Although their excessive realism brought a sense of fear, the group was experiencing an unprecedented surge of excitement.
Facing an advance force of dozens of Blood Corpse, the four roared and charged forward.
One side is Blood Corpse, and the other is a human, but at this moment both sides are screaming and yelling, as if their intelligence has been averaged out and they have returned to the era of Clash of Clans.
However, one thing is certain --
At this moment, only a fight to the death is possible.
