I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

The death knell seemed to be sounded by someone in the distance, echoing in the dead plain. With the strange wind whistling and whimpering, dark red fonts appeared in the center of the system interface's field of vision, and then slowly dissipated. As if to warn people who come here, there are hidden murderous intentions everywhere...

[Current area: The place where Red Moon died, the number of neutral areas that can be occupied and conquered: 2]

[Your team has obtained 400 initial team points, current score: 400]

The countdown marking the official start of the team conquest mode has begun to pass minute by second in the upper right corner.

[Remaining settlement time in Team Conquest Mode: 71:59:30…]

"This...is such a map of the underworld. I feel like my nose can smell the smell of blood." Chisaki Mori shuddered and reached out to light a fireball, using it as a torch to illuminate the surrounding environment.

However, the moment the fire illuminated the surroundings, the dead black thorns and vines on the ground seemed to suddenly gain powerful vitality, crackling the air, and striking at everyone crazily.

Cheng let the long sword out of its sheath and instantly shattered the attacks of the surrounding vines. He turned around and said, "Put out the fire and go to the cliff."

Mori Chisaki quickly followed the instructions and extinguished the flame in his hand.

The blue and rainbow eyes of Liang Yi Lan's Death Demon Eye flashed, and together with Cheng Rang, he slashed the wildly twisting vines in front of him with his knife, and silently kicked Mori Chisaki's butt, urging him to leave here quickly.

"The rules are very clear. Points can be obtained by killing enemy team members... However, the method of deducting points only states that team members are killed. In other words, no matter how you die, points will be deducted. Team score." Cheng Rang led the team members to run out of the influence of the vines and came to the edge of the cliff extending upward.

"I know, I'm sorry..." The team fell into an attack as soon as they came up, and Chisaki Mori glanced to the side with some embarrassment.

"I don't blame you. After all, no one knows what will happen here. I'm afraid that using flame lighting will arouse the hostility of many creatures and even plants here. At least we know more clues about the environment of this map." Cheng Rang activated God's Prosthetic Eye , sharing the visual enhancement with three others.

"You should be able to see clearly this way, right?"

"Well, that's enough!" Chisaki Mori nodded repeatedly, then looked at the team's information with some surprise, and reminded Noretti: "Hey! Noretti, you are losing blood."

Although it is not very obvious, among the four people who were originally in a full state, only Noretti's health bar continued to drop.

And the rate of decline is gradually becoming faster, and a full quarter of the blood volume has suddenly disappeared.

"Noretti, what's going on?" Liang Yilan came to her side to check.

"The vine attack just now was of dark attribute... it imposed a negative status of withering on me." Noretti drank the abnormal status potion and added: "The negative status level is terrifyingly high, and due to the characteristics of the weapon, I will suffer double the damage." Dark damage. It’s okay now, I’m sorry to make you worry.”

"You're already at this level, is it so outrageous to be hit by a vine?" Chisaki Mori took a breath of air, and her eyes suddenly became more alert when she looked around.

"This is the team conquest mode where countless player teams have died... If it was so easy to survive, half of my friend's friend list would not be gray."

Cheng Rang said with a solemn expression: "Proceed with caution. This place is completely different from the time-travel world and PVP world we have experienced before. Maybe a random monster-like guy on the roadside can take us. Life."

Even the resurrection and death resistance mechanisms are strictly restricted here, which means that the death resistance effect of the original intention can only be triggered three times in these 72 hours. If the cooling time is doubled, the original 30 seconds of freezing will take a minute to rise.

If he was attacked by something unexpectedly and put extra pressure on him, he might even fall here.

Cheng Rang specifically looked back at the vine follower.

[Hostile: Withered Thorns, Level: 900]

The level is ridiculously high...and it seems that there is no so-called matching value mechanism in the team conquest mode.

In other words, if a team with an average level of less than 500 comes to this map, it is very likely that they will be wiped out by the thorns from the beginning.

The system never disappoints, and it can be said that they have worked hard to keep us here...his grandma's.

Cheng Rang cursed secretly in his heart and stepped onto the cliff in front of him.

The field of vision instantly broadened, and an endless black forest could be seen below the cliff at the foot. The dense tree canopy blocked the view of the ground. The dark green leaves reflected the strange scarlet light cast by the red moon in the darkness.

Liang Yilan came to Cheng Rang's side, looked down with him, and took a deep breath.

"So...Captain, where are we going next?"

"There seems to be more than just this area here. The surface area that can be seen is very large. The prompt at the beginning stated that besides us, there should be 5 other player teams, but now no other players can be found at all. shadow."

Liang Yilan: "It's not that the distance is very far, it's just

Maybe they took the initiative to hide it..."

"Then should we also hide and keep a low profile?" Mori Chisaki clenched his fists and gave up the idea of ​​igniting the flames again.

"Regarding this, I have already released the invisible magic." Noretti said.

I almost forgot that Noretti's profession is an origin magician. Strictly speaking, she is half a magician?

"Players below level 950 should not be able to easily find us anymore."

"Not bad." Cheng Rang nodded and pointed to the ruins located in a small open space along the edge of the cliff. "There are too many unknown things under the cliff. Let's explore along the top first. Maybe we can trigger some tasks."

If you encounter a team of hostile players here, there will probably be no possibility of communication. They will either sneak attack each other or start a fight directly. Whoever is slower will die, which is normal.

The law of the dark forest seemed to be vividly explained at this moment. The red moon above the head was still shining with blood. Cheng let the group of people march along the cliff and came to the first dilapidated ruins that could be seen as a "building".

And on the broken pillar that looked like an arch in front of the ruins, a shadow was sitting.

He seemed to have spotted Cheng Rang and his group approaching here very early. He looked up and could not see his face clearly, which was covered by a wide bamboo hat.

The man's hoarse voice seemed to be pierced by a wooden thorn, making people's skin crawl.

"Oh, look who this is, another wave of short-lived people who come here to seek blessings from angels."

[Ding, trigger the hidden mission and talk to the great hero Gran in front of the sacred church ruins - 10 team points will be awarded. 】

Cheng Rang blinked.

This sense of déjà vu——

Cheng Rang: "Is it an NPC?"

Chisaki Mori: "It's an NPC."

Liang Yilan: "It's an NPC..."

You can’t give up the free team points. Although the reward is a little less, it’s better than nothing.

Cheng Rang asked the others to wait not far away, and went to talk alone.

After checking Avalon's status to ensure that he could enter the invincible state at any time, Cheng Rang held the long knife tightly and walked slowly towards the man.

Raising his hand, Cheng Rang greeted directly: "Hey, have you eaten?"

Great Hero Gran: "???"

Oh, I haven’t eaten it yet. Thank you.

——However, the other party would not answer like this.

Facing Cheng Rang's unconventional greetings, the guy named Gran just remained silent for a moment, and then introduced himself: "I used to be the great hero who protects the Holy Church, Gran. Now, You have also seen the dilapidated appearance of this city, and everything is caused by the red moon..."

"Hey, have you eaten?" However, Cheng Rang seemed to not give up until he got an answer, as if he were a mechanical NPC, and kept asking questions, as if he would not give up as long as you don't answer.

"That red moon was originally a cunning golden moon. However, three years ago, due to a meteor that tore the sky apart——"

"Hey, have you eaten?"

"..."

This happened several times. It seemed that he was unhappy because his words were interrupted one after another. Gran finally couldn't bear it and waved his hands vigorously and shouted: "Eat, eat! Why are you asking these meaningless questions? I was about to talk." Do you understand the story?"

[Ding, successfully talked with the great hero Gran in front of the ruins of the Holy Church and obtained 10 team points. 】

After a question and an answer, the reward was received the moment the conversation was established. Without saying a word, Cheng Rang drew his sword and made a secret slash. He chopped the great hero Gran to the ground on the spot and disappeared into flying ashes, screaming in agony. There was no time.

Under the stunned gazes of the other three team members, Cheng Rang slowly put away his knife.

"I'm sorry, that guy's health bar suddenly lit up just now... I get scared and nervous... right, it's not my fault." Cheng Rang, who said this, spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.

[Ding, I killed the great hero Gran and got 70 team points. 】

"For the sake of safety, let's not add any extraneous details. You should be okay with that, right?"

Chisaki Mori finally couldn't help but slowly give a thumbs up to this grassy situation.

"What the hell, Captain, you are so... awesome!"

Chapter 123 For Whom the Bell Tolls

Chapter 1313 Chapter 123 For Whom the Bell Tolls

[Current team score: 480 points]

The actual arrival of the team's score showed that the NPC who seemed to have a story just now was really sent to see God by Cheng Rang's knife.

However, in a world of this style, it is still open to question whether the person who is sent to see God is God.

Since it can be cut, it proves that it is not a friendly unit. Afterwards, the two people who still had not recovered from the surprise were reminded by Noretti.

"——The so-called "Great Hero Gran" discovered us just as we were approaching, proving that his level will not be lower than level 950. We have always been under the cover of concealment magic. If only If you let your guard down just because you gained team points by talking to him, you might pay a heavy price. "

The four people passed through the broken door pillars and entered the dilapidated building known as the ruins of the holy church.

But rather than being a building, it has long been transformed into a ventilated wall. Due to weathering and decay for an unknown period of time, the roof, walls and even glass have long since disappeared, leaving only a few

A towering pillar stands stubbornly here.

The mottled stone road makes a crunching sound when stepped on. At the end, you can see a gray stone goddess statue.

The carved face of the goddess statue has been completely weathered and cannot be seen clearly. Even the wings are broken and only the roots are left, and the left half of the arms that hold something up are missing.

On the altar in front of the statue, there is a complete stone box with no dust. Compared with the surrounding platforms, it is clean as if someone had carefully wiped it not long ago.

"Is this... a treasure chest?" Mori Chisaki approached the stone box and looked back at Cheng Rang: "Would you like to open it and take a look?"

Cheng Rang said: "There are no traces of traps. It should have been left behind or used by Gran. It doesn't hurt to open it and take a look."

Chisaki Mori stepped forward and carefully pushed open the top cover of the stone box. There were many necklaces similar to nameplates inside.

"What's this?"

Randomly grabbing two skewers, Chisaki Mori discovered that they were actually system props.

[Memorial of fallen players: "There was a liar before me" Quality: Gray Eternal. Effect: None. From player number: No.00**

**]

[Memorial of the fallen player: "Warning, kill him!" Quality: Gray Eternity. Effect: None. From player number: No.00**

**]

[Memorial of fallen players: "I can't accept it" Quality: Gray Eternity. Effect: None. From player number...]

"Are these all the relics of the fallen players?" Noretti stepped forward with a surprised expression and grabbed a large number of nameplate necklaces from the stone box. It was roughly estimated that at least thirty or forty players had died here.

"You can't trust anyone here.", "The power of the Holy Church is the eternal enemy", "Ah, long live the Red Moon..."

There are a lot of last words like this, which makes people feel horrified.

Before this, they were all living lives. These players had been fighting to survive in various worlds for who knows how long. After arriving here, they could only use the last few seconds of their lives to leave a message for future generations.

"It seems that this great hero Gran killed many players and collected their relics and enshrined them in front of the statue of the goddess." Cheng Rang also checked a few last words on the nameplates, and then put them all back.

"Glan's level is as high as one thousand. If there is a sudden attack during the conversation..."

"There are basically not many players who can bear it?" Liang Yilan shuddered. At this time, she seemed to finally realize what the countless necklaces in this stone box represented, which made her feel scared.

Cheng Rang said: "We are outsiders to this world. If we look at the power of the Holy Church, we are undoubtedly strangers. And the fanatical believers of the goddess believe that heretics deserve to die. Granta is here to protect this place. Let’s kill every player who comes to pollute the sacred church land in this so-called “pure land”. That's why he was named a "great hero". "

"...Is this what a great hero means?"

Noretti once again recalled the first words Gran said after seeing them.

"Oh, look who this is, another wave of short-lived people who come here to seek blessings from angels."

"He once said that we are short-lived people looking for angel blessings, so the system reward we can get in the team's conquered area is the angel blessing that Gran said?"

"Not necessarily, but it's not completely impossible. At least I didn't make a mistake with this knife. Now we know that all the people from the Holy Church forces here are enemies and can be killed directly when they meet." Cheng Rang still trusts his intuition. Yes, the moment Gran's health bar appeared, the knife in his hand had already hit his face before the other party could even make follow-up actions.

Gran seemed to have never imagined that he was going to trick the players in front of him for a sneak attack, but instead he was killed by Cheng Rang, a guy who didn't play by the rules.

Of course, being cheek-to-cheek with a sword god, even if Cheng Rang takes the back-up role, this great hero named Gran may not be a single enemy...

After searching around and finding nothing else, Cheng asked the group to continue exploring along the cliff. During this period, they encountered many scattered monsters, all of which had very twisted and ferocious appearances that exceeded the limits of human aesthetics. That mouth of fangs is densely packed, and when it bites and flies towards it, mucus and saliva splash everywhere, and the level is not low at all, not to mention how disgusting it is. Even if Cheng Rang is accidentally bitten by them, he will lose a considerable amount of health. It seems that he can still ignore the percentage damage of the defense.

This world is simply too dangerous, with murderous intent everywhere. Even NPCs who are always friendly and issue tasks to reward players may turn their swords on players in the blink of an eye.

Nerves are in a state of tension all the time, which will undoubtedly make people feel tired and irritable. Coupled with the gloomy and twisted environment and landscape, and the distant and plaintive whimpering wind that can be heard from time to time, it puts an invisible psychological pressure on the players, making them feel as if their footsteps are a little heavier.

The system is right, here, only your teammates are worthy of complete trust, and they will be your most reliable partners in the adventure.

As long as a person walks in this repressive world where everyone is full of malice towards you, I am afraid that he will go crazy in a short time, or be torn into pieces mercilessly by those terrifying monsters.

Not long after walking back after passing the ruins of the sacred church, Cheng Rang and his party broke into a field with many buried
