The weird game of the ancient gods

After figuring out what kind of animals his opponents were this time and confirming the alliance, Xia Yu did not waste any more time in this open space. He found a deserted corner and opened the map.

This is a game after all, and it is impossible for players to lose sight of it. Although Xia Yu's body turned into a black panther, he found that the function of the watch had not disappeared. It’s just that the display function becomes 3D imaging.

Using the watch, you can not only see the names of other players, check the current number of survivors in the game, check your own attributes and achievements, but also call up the game map.

Xia Yu looked at the map of the volcanic island. The map only marked the names of different areas, but did not mark the distribution of resources.

But as an old player, Xia Yu could deduce a lot from just some limited information on the map.

In the center of the island is the smoking volcano.

Below the volcano and next to the crater, there is a small lake labeled [Volcano Lake]. To the east of the volcano is a continuous mountain range with a towering peak. The top part is white, obviously covered with ice and snow. It is labeled It is [Eagle Rock Peak].

In the southeast of the volcano, under [Eagle Rock Peak], is a large lake, labeled [Still Water Lake], and a river extends from the still water lake to the sea in the distance.

Directly south of the volcano, there are continuous grasslands and small woods and hills. In the middle of the grassland, there is a black crack-like icon, labeled [Death Crack].

To the west of the volcano is a large jungle, and there is an icon of a building in the jungle, labeled [Ancient Ruins].

To the north of the volcano is a large forest, with a big tree in the middle, labeled [Ancient Giant Tree]. A river bypasses the side of the giant tree, making several turns between the jungle and the forest, and finally flows into the sea. .

At the junction of the forest and the jungle, to the northwest of the volcano, there is a slightly smaller lake, labeled [Lake of Leaves].

There are some smaller labels in other places, usually such-and-such mountains, such-and-such rivers, such-and-such woodlands and so on.

Looking at those big icons, Xia Yu became interested.

Generally speaking, particularly conspicuous landmarks in the game often have special monsters, tasks, bosses, hidden treasures and other designs.

Therefore, those five king beasts will most likely be refreshed at the positions marked by these big icons, especially names like Eagle Rock Peak, Death Crack, Ancient Giant Tree, and Ancient Ruins, which sound like BOSS. ’s lair, and it is very likely that there will be more other resources in these areas.

Others must have guessed this.

If you want to win the chicken in the end, you must choose an area to explore and collect resources. It is best to get a king beast soul and try to enhance your own strength. In this way, you are very likely to compete with other players. Conflicts are very dangerous.

On the other hand, if you just want to get into the top three, then there is no need to go to those hot spots. You can just collect scattered resources in the surrounding open areas and try to get into the finals.

Xia Yu undoubtedly belongs to the former. Considering the ecological niche of the black panther, there is no doubt that the forest or jungle is his best choice.

So Xia Yu quickly made a plan. First, collect resources in the forest or jungle, and then find a way to visit the ancient giant trees or ancient ruins. Forget about the Lake of Leaves, we can't afford to offend the monsters in the water.

Then he began to calculate the shrinking circle mechanism of the game. In general battle royale games, the location of the shrinking circle is usually random, and there is no fixed safe zone. Players need to constantly move to avoid the threat of the poisonous circle, but In this game, Xia Yu felt that it should be different.

The reason why I think so is because of the volcano in the center of the map. According to the game background, it is precisely because of the existence of the volcano that Breath of Glacier did not cover this island, and this volcano happens to be located on the island. At the very center, it is very likely that the shrinking circle will be centered around the crater, and the final finals will most likely be near the crater. In this way, the location of the safety zone can be calculated.

According to the scale on the map, the radius of this island is about 50 kilometers. It is known that Breath of Glacier will completely engulf the island in 24 hours. Breath of Glacier will spread once every three hours, which means that it will spread eight times in total. , a distance of about six kilometers each time.

Considering that the speed at which the Breath of Glacier spreads is still unclear, he can ensure his own safety by running out of a six-kilometer radius before the Breath of Glacier spreads.

Of course, this is just a guess, so it’s best to run farther when running a lap for the first time. If you are sure of your guess, it will be easier in the future.

Because the area of ​​the map is smaller the farther inside the circle is. If the resources on the map are evenly distributed, which means that in the later stages, the resources will be tighter and the competition among players will be more intense. Then the early stage of the game is the easiest to obtain. At the resource stage, acquiring as many resources as possible in the first few hours after starting the game will be the key to victory for players.

If it develops well in the early stage and has certain strength, it will not only have stronger self-protection ability, but also have a higher chance of winning the soul of the king beast. It can be said to be a virtuous circle. On the contrary, if it does not develop well in the early stage, it will fall into a vicious cycle in the later stage.

Xia Yu just figured out the key here, and the sixty minutes came quickly.

[System prompt: The time has come and the game is about to start. Please select your login location. After selecting, please confirm that the preparations are complete. After all players are ready, the game will officially start. 】

The map on the watch popped up again, and a movable cursor appeared on the outermost beach of the island.

Xia Yu immediately understood that players could choose their birth location on the volcanic island, but they could only choose a place on the beach. This was quite convenient. He thought he was going to parachute.

Xia Yu chose the initial location on a beach in the northwest of the island, at the junction of jungle and forest, and then selected and prepared.

A moment later, as the last player was getting ready, a white light flashed in front of Xia Yu's eyes. The next second, he found himself on a beach. On his left was a lush tropical rainforest, and on his right was a dense forest. The area is divided by a river, with clear lines. Spreading into the distance.

Deep in the dense forest, on the distant horizon, you can see a towering volcano. The smoke from the crater is slowly rising, and it can be vaguely seen even dozens of kilometers away.

He glanced behind him again. On the sea around the island, he could see lead-gray dark clouds and storms, surrounding the island like a wall. It was in a very calm state at this time, but it was frozen not far from the coast. The sea surface and the seabirds and whales frozen on the sea surface still indirectly reveal the horror of this ice storm.

The desolate and primitive scene in front of him that revealed the power of nature was so real that Xia Yu felt so small and faintly excited. He didn't even need any background music or plot stories. He had already brought himself into it. in the role.

Without any hesitation, he ran straight into the jungle ahead.
