The birds flew up into the high sky, soaring at the horizon. A large army passed through the forest from the direction of the town on the edge of the street and left here...
Wang Chen ultimately left, this somewhat nostalgic street town had too many memories of his. His past life was born here, complaining that he randomly appeared here, a useless butcher father, a fat and disgusting mother, but when they used their lives to protect themselves, only then did it bring a touch to Wang Chen at that time...
It was too late for him to make amends when he wanted to, and heaven gave him a chance to start over, making up for everything he missed in the past ten years.
"Wang Lao Die, Zhang Da Ma, you must live on, live until that time..." Forgotten Dust still has dreams, he must move forward, he must become stronger to protect everything he holds dear. Only by becoming stronger can he guard his dreams and his loved ones. In this opening chapter of the great online game era, every man has a dream of conquering the world, and Forgotten Dust is no exception.
The legend left by Emperor Tian has been coloring the dreams of countless generations, following the dream to find the truth of the world. More importantly, this is an unknown mysterious second dimension, and numerous mysteries seem to be surrounding the creation of this game. The second world of humanity, an indispensable game...
He still has people to protect, leaving the town is just the first step. In this year or so, he has laid a good foundation for his future success, life potential, butcher profession, and even the slaughterhouse and that knife that Wang Butcher taught him before he left, which has weight in his heart...
"Are you crying?" The sweet voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
"No." He flatly denied it with an expressionless face, but thinking of the various experiences in his past life, a sad emotion still showed.
"Oh......" The girl stopped asking, because his every word and action seemed to reveal an inexpressible sorrow. Those deep eyes always looked far away, giving her the feeling that the man who stayed here was just a hollow shell of a body...
Wiping away the only tear stains at the corner of his eyes, Mo Dust didn't want to let the girl in front of him see his sad side, so he hid the weight in his heart and looked at her again: "How did you end up with the army?"
"You can, why can't I?" Unexpectedly, Snowfall's white eyes were met with a counter-question. However, Snowfall couldn't withstand Forget Dust's stubbornness and only responded with an "oh" before stopping her inquiry. Infuriated, Snowfall stomped her feet, wanting to thoroughly thrash him if she weren't no match for the guy.
Xue Luo couldn't help but tell Wang Chen that the girl had been using her healing techniques to help many villagers and soldiers over the past few days, which caught the attention of the army commander. When asked if she was willing to follow the army, she agreed without hesitation.
Xue Luo looked at Wang Chen's gaze with a hint of disappointment, because Wang Chen didn't notice Xue Luo's expectant eyes.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent, the horse-drawn carriage used for marching and fighting was simply a wooden board built, without even a place to shelter from the sun and rain. Inside the carriage were several adventurers, including Wú Chén (Forget Dust) and Xuě Lùo (Snow Fall), all of whom had performed well and were selected by the army. These people had an intense killing aura about them.
"My name is Li Xiaofei, thank you for that day." The one who broke the silence first was a man with threefold heavenly cultivation. It's worth mentioning that after that battle, Wàng Chén's cultivation had directly surged to fivefold third-grade.
Creation does not have a ranking system, but it has another kind of ranking system.
But now even the weakest ranking is beyond his reach.
Wang Chen had already forgotten what he did, but that day's situation was critical, and he himself saved many people. He nodded politely: "Nothing, just mutual help."
"Speaking of which, you were quite something that day, actually managing to take down the leader. I'm sure you got a lot of good stuff out of it, right?" The one who spoke up this time was a middle-aged man, and without even looking, his level should be the strongest among them.
To avoid trouble, Wugui smiled and replied: "The reason I was so brave that day was because I had accepted a quest, my level rose to 10th rank, due to this reason, the dragon didn't drop any items, and after finishing the fight I fainted, even if there were any, I don't know who took them. You guys also know, NPCs can wear equipment too, at that time it was so chaotic, honestly, I wasn't clear either."
The words "Wang Chen" conveyed were so sincere that almost no one would suspect, and he did indeed faint that day.
"It's a pity, the Dragonkin leader was a regional BOSS and should have had good equipment. In Creation, equipment plays a huge role and has high usability, after all, the props in this game can exert extraordinary power."
So, the preciousness of equipment is much higher than in previous online games.
"What a pity." Wàng Chén let out a light sigh. In fact, he really didn't have any equipment, and what he had just said was half true and half false.
"My name is Xue You." He stretched out his hand.
"Wàng chén." Xue you, a strange name, an existence that had never been in his past life's memories.
"To all adventurers, our journey is to expand within a hundred miles of the town on the outskirts. As for the kingdom, if you are at your current stage, it may take some time, so we can lend you horses to head to the kingdom. Each person will receive a letter of recommendation, and bringing it into the kingdom will allow you to join the army with priority." The vanguard team sent back a message that left them astonished.
"What? You mean we won't be sent back to the kingdom?" For many adventurers, following the army was a way to return to the kingdom, after all, with such a team, safety is guaranteed.
"No way, I thought we could make it to the kingdom." If they were to separate from the main troops here, one can imagine how perilous their journey would be. After all, even with the army's escort, it takes ten days to get from Street Edge Town to the kingdom in its current state; if they were on their own, encountering powerful monsters would mean certain death.
"Wǒng chén, I hope we have another chance to meet." The deputy commander of the legion personally handed over the letter of recommendation to Wǒng chén, repeatedly urging him to go to the kingdom to report for duty. In fact, there was no need for him to say anything, as Wǒng chén would definitely go to the kingdom to claim his own rewards: military soul attachment, noble title, equipment, and gold coins were all his due.
"You don't seem surprised?" Still with an unchanged expression, just like the night he saw Wang Chen, Xue Luo always felt that there was something mysterious about him.
"What's the point of that, they were originally here to support the establishment of a military fortress on the street edge, how could they possibly come and go immediately? Do you think the Rebirth Beast really disappeared?" Wang Chen said with a bad tone, looking at Xue Luo's huge snow peak in his heart and underestimated him for a moment, indeed, he was big but brainless.
What an eye expression... pouting with a small mouth is very cute, and the snow falling in the crowd is quite outstanding, but she is also very sticky and forgetful, making those who want to chat her up stop in their tracks.
"Wishing you all good luck." After handing over the letter of recommendation, the army set up camp a hundred miles outside the town of Jiebian. They were to establish a defensive base here, and Wàng Chén also had to bid farewell here.
The horses and maps given were their only reliance. Except for Wàng Chén, who got some dry rations, the others basically had nothing.
But the formation in front of him, Wudu felt a deep sense of worry, as someone who had lived for two lifetimes, he could clearly feel the inner world reflected in their eyes, and everyone's expression when looking at himself and Snowfall was strangely different.
It seems this trip won't be so calm after all.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the journey ahead is not as simple as we imagined. Perhaps you don't understand the horror of this street edge town and the Residual Moon Kingdom. This place is called the Burial Grounds, where countless people's dreams are buried. If we act alone now, I'm afraid we'll be annihilated before nightfall. But if we unite, perhaps there's still a chance for us to successfully enter the kingdom."
"The reason why the kingdom's army didn't send us into the city is actually a test for us. Only those who can enter the royal city by their own abilities are qualified to join the royal city's army!" The one who said this was the Blood Buddy who had previously conversed with Wang Chen, and his words made a lot of sense.
"If you're willing, let's work together and find a place to settle down before nightfall. Trust me, I've been through this with my team before, going solo will only waste your life!" His sincere words moved thousands of players, who after discussing it among themselves, expressed their willingness to form teams and take action together.
Xue You's eyes gleamed with profound meaning as he glanced at Wang Chen: "Together, you shouldn't mind, should you?"
Wang Chen nodded, at least now turning against them was not a wise decision, and how dangerous it would be after nightfall. Wang Chen obviously knew more than they did, if there weren't enough people and bait, most people wouldn't survive.
Xue You obviously is an old hand who knows this, so he would propose the idea of traveling together. However, what his true purpose is worth pondering...
"Let's go!!" Nearly two thousand players simultaneously reached a consensus to advance and retreat together, charging into the forest on the outskirts of the town before nightfall. This forest had another name: "Forest of Lost Souls".
Just as its name suggests, this place is where countless souls are buried and it's also the only path to enter the Burial City...
It's even more terrifying here at night.
"It's snowing." Wàng Chén suddenly spoke up.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"No matter what happens tonight, don't leave my side. Remember, don't trust anyone, including me." Forgotten Dust said this and followed the main troops into the Forest of Lost Souls.
New adventure, unfolding!!
Damn, I spent two hours thinking about this chapter and one hour writing it. It's updated now, the fourth update at 6 o'clock. Xiaoyu is now responsible for every word and plot of each chapter, so she can't update as carelessly as before. Please understand that this story has ended and a new journey is beginning. The real excitement will not disappoint everyone, I believe. Currently, this book doesn't even have one ally leader, which is disappointing, but it's also my own fault. I'll work hard to make everyone trust me again.
