…

Mourning desert.

The dim sun hangs high in the sky, emitting not bright light, making people drowsy.

Nearly a thousand players appeared one after another in the desert.

There are many spawn points for Dust Death Knell, and they are completely random. No one knows where they will be teleported.

If you are lucky, you can see the outline of the city, but if you are not lucky, there is endless yellow sand in all directions, and you can't even tell the direction.

"Getting lost" is the first difficulty in Dust Knell.

All player spawn points are in the desert, far away from the gathering places of human towns. This is one of the reasons why wasteland players regard "entering the city" as their primary goal. After all, if the towns are not important, there is no need to throw them away specifically. It's so far away and if there are no clues in the city, they will come out and deliver them themselves.

On the other hand, the town is also the only known safe zone.

There are dangers hidden everywhere in the desert, and they can only gather in towns.

Since there are too many towns and there are distances between each city, it is impossible for a thousand people to gather in one town in a short time. Therefore, before entering the capital, Nanhuan spent the whole night discussing with Lao Li Tou and others on a map he made based on intelligence. Eight towns were circled, each located on the periphery of the town cluster in eight different directions.

Whichever one is closest goes to whichever one.

Let's start with the gathering of wavelets. When hundreds of people encounter a single giant sandworm, it will be easier to fight.

The players in this group are all first-tier players - at least in terms of attributes. Among the 900 main players, none of the attributes are lower than 280, and they are all at full level.

The remaining support players, including cooks, medical staff, etc., also have average attributes of 220+.

They are fully prepared for this time, and their lineup is luxurious. If you pick anyone, they will be called boss by many people.

But, sometimes no amount of preparation will help.

Luck is important.

The starting time of Dust Knell is fixed at noon, the sun is directly overhead, it is difficult to determine the direction, and you cannot bring in a compass.

But as time goes by, the sun will slowly sink into the horizon, and at this time it will be relatively easy to distinguish between southeast and northwest.

So being far away from the city can only be said to be bad luck, not bad luck.

There are so many spawn points in Dust Knell, 99% of which are outside the active area of ​​giant sandworms. Theoretically speaking, as long as you can block your own breath, don't make any sound, and just stand still, it doesn't matter. It's safe.

Except for one place - the Sandworm Basin.

This is a name chosen by players based on terrain features.

Just look at the word "sandworm" and you will know that it is no longer a question of whether it is far from the town.

After many estimates, this place is about two to three hundred kilometers away from the border. It’s really not that far, but it is right in the middle of a bunch of giant sandworms...

Assuming that the alert range of the giant sandworm is a circle, slightly overlapping each other, then this birth point is located outside the only one of these overlapping circles.

Not being in a circle is better than being in a circle.

Any movement will attract the attention of giant sandworms, who will swarm them and attack them.

The most terrible thing is that there are not only sandworms in the sandworm basin.

Based on the direction of the setting sun, there is an invisible city in the west of the basin.

No brick or tile can be seen during the day, and it only appears at night. If it accidentally hits the city wall or comes into contact with the city, it will immediately turn into dust.

It’s unclear what’s in the city, no one has ever entered it, but even in the best case scenario, this city will not actively attack players, which is equivalent to blocking one direction for them, further compressing players’ survival in the Sandworm Basin. space.

Because "invisibility" is not invisible in the ordinary sense, even if you wear anti-contact lenses, you can't see it. They can't determine the specific location of the city, so they can only stay away from the entire west direction.

Rather than simply being far away from human settlements, teleporting here at the beginning is the real unlucky person.

For example, Night Cat Han.

He shouted "Brothers, rush" while entering the game, and then found that his birth point was in a "basin" surrounded by sand dunes, so Ye Maohan's voice suddenly stopped and he fell into deep thought.

Did you buy a fake almanac?

After a few seconds, some more unlucky guys appeared.

Yemao Han turned his head and saw Lao Li Tou, who had just had breakfast with him offline, looking at him.

Ye Maohan: "..."

Old Li Tou: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Bad news: The spawn point is in the Sandworm Basin, which players call the "restart point."

The good news: You’re not the only one with the same bad news.

At a rough count, there are more than thirty.

Most of them are elderly middle-aged people, and you can tell at a glance that they are the mainstay of the Sunset Red Guild.

I don’t know if it counts as meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

"Lao Li, what's going on?" an old aunt asked with a frown.

As the president of the Sunset Red Guild, Old Li Tou has been met by many members. Some of them have danced squarely together, and some have had tea together on the third floor.

Lao Li waited for a long time, thought about it seriously, and replied: "It's okay."

Ye Maohan: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Are you starting to show off when you first join the school?

In fact, it's not that Lao Li wants to show off, he has no choice but to show off.

He waited for a while before speaking, just to see if anyone else was coming.

If there were a few more top-level combatants like him and Ye Maohan, they would not have no chance of escaping from the Sandworm Basin.

But no one came.

Not to mention top-level combat power, there is not even a logistics. A few minutes have passed, how many unlucky guys were there just now, and how many unlucky guys are still there now.

Almost all those who should have entered the capital have already entered the capital, and they can only rely on themselves.

But they themselves are unreliable.

Only these thirty or so people were completely immune to beating.

Not even one bug can be solved, let alone a bunch of them?

For now, the only way is to survive in the cracks of these giant sandworms. Gou Yibo, when the large army gathers and finds that they are not there, it is easy to guess that they are trapped in the sandworm basin - this is also what was agreed in advance. If you can't get out, wait for rescue. If you can't, just use the loudspeaker to say something.

You can force your way out and fight your way out, but it's not necessary.

The blood in "Blood Road" is most likely their own blood.

Once a battle breaks out, there will inevitably be casualties. This is just the beginning, and everything is focused on preserving the strength of the team.

Yemao Han complained full of resentment: "What a broken copy."

He had been thinking about the death knell of dust for several years, and entered the book with great interest. As a result, he was imprisoned for a day and couldn't do anything. Isn't this a mental state?

"Let's all sit down and rest." Old Li Tou greeted everyone. He was open-minded. He took out a jar of wine and sat on the sand. He chuckled at Yemao Han and said, "Be content, at least. We were not discovered, but if these bugs came out for air and happened to see us, it would be really great fun."

The voice just fell.

"Wow!"

A sandworm emerged from the sand in the distance.

The piranha-like bloody mouth was facing the direction of Old Li's head.

One person and one insect looked at each other from a distance.

Old Li Tou: "?"

Ye Maohan: "??"

Everyone: "???"

Both sides were stunned for a moment, and then the giant sand insect roared, and the edges of its huge mouthparts were shaken by the sound wave.

"Roar!"

Hearing the calls of their companions, more giant sand worms emerged from the ground, like tall muddy buildings rising from the ground, one after another, surrounding Old Li Tou and others in the center of the basin like a cage.

Adult giant sand bugs are each twenty or thirty meters long, and their shadows are projected onto the sand, making the already dim light even more dim.

Counting counterclockwise...there are twenty-one in total!

Ye Maohan: "Grass!"

Is this a birdie?

The old aunt also yelled: "Damn old man, are you a crow's mouth!"

Old Li Tou was also a little dumbfounded.

He was just joking, but was this bug serious?

So many at once? ?

It stands to reason that the safety factor of their place is not low. It is similar to a "surveillance blind spot" and should not be discovered - even if it is discovered, it should not be discovered so quickly.

The key is really that the sandworms came out to take a breath and happened to be looking in this direction. Are they so unlucky?

In fact, it's not that they are too unlucky, but that there are people who are more unlucky than them.

The birth point is randomly placed in the Sandworm Basin. This is already the worst start under normal circumstances. However, this is a terrible situation for ordinary players, and it is not enough to match someone's great luck, so a nine-death life becomes a ten-death situation. No life, no place to escape, no wings to fly.

Twenty-one adult sandworms will die in peace even if the cold summer comes.

It can be said that there is no chance of winning in a head-on team fight.

"puff."

The sandworms all plunged into the ground, like giant snakes lurking underground, swimming rapidly from all directions against the rolling gravel.

"Run!" Yimao Han made a quick decision, kicked his feet hard, and flew up, trying to take the empty road.

"Break through with all your strength!" Old Li Touye shouted, and his sword rushed in the opposite direction to Ye Maohan.

But how can it be that easy?

If you could simply fly alone and run away, many teams would not be wiped out by the group.

A sandworm suddenly emerged from the ground, bringing up a large amount of sand and dust. It opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of brown, smelly mucus, blocking Ye Maohan's path.

Ye Mao Han was forced to brake, and the giant tail of the sandworm had already swept over from the side. Ye Mao Han raised his arms to resist with all his strength, but was still slammed back to the ground with a "bang".

During the fall, he also forcibly controlled his body to do a backflip, took out his sniper and shot the sandworm, accurately hitting the sandworm's mouthparts.

So handsome.

But the damage is zero.

When Ye Maohan failed to break out, Lao Li was slapped on the head by his tail and fell next to Ye Maohan.

The sword energy that was like a rainbow was almost shaken away.

The third person who was beaten back was the old aunt.

She was not as resistant to beatings as Lao Li Tou and Ye Mao Han. She was hit by a sandworm and blood was already flowing from the corner of her mouth. Her hair was disheveled and she looked very embarrassed.

She got up and took a look, and saw that Lao Li hadn't escaped, which meant that no one could rush out to draw firepower to the people trapped inside and distract the sandworms. She couldn't help but feel anxious and angry: "You are not the Flower Wine Swordsman." ?"

Old Li Tou: "But it is a giant sand insect!"

While the two were talking, the remaining thirty or so players, led by another old man from the Sunset Red Guild, had launched a nearly perfect wave of concentrated fire.

It's a pity that the sandworm is too thick-skinned, and hitting it with dozens of skills only caused its thick body to bend back for a moment - this should have been a stiffening movement after being hit, but the sandworm seemed to be taking advantage of it. This charge was average, but it bounced back very counterintuitively, spraying out large amounts of wind-sand slime from its mouth, which in turn disrupted everyone's formation.

"Get away!" the old man shouted.

He flashes quite fast, but not everyone has enough dexterity attributes.

Someone moved too slowly and didn't have time to dodge completely. A little brown liquid stuck to his ankle, and his whole leg suddenly turned into wind and sand, and he groaned in pain.

"Damn it, how does this bug play?" A man with an arm covered in a metal shell and a hand cannon on his wrist scolded.

He is not a member of the Sunset Red Guild, but his personal combat power is not inferior to them at all.

The power of his prosthetic hand cannon was enough to destroy a small aircraft, but when it hit the sandworm, it only burned a little of the opponent's flesh, and the wound was still healing quickly.

He beat me faster than anyone else.

"Escape for your lives each," Old Li Tou said.

It's not that he wants to give up on someone. In the current situation, if they get together, they will die neatly. It's better for everyone to show their talents and run away.

There were twenty-one worms, and there were thirty-eight of them, and 17 people could survive even if they were blocked by one.

"I will set up a sword formation to help you stop it. You run to the east and don't look back." Old Li's tone was rarely dignified.

Seeing that the sandworms were about to surround him, he was already considering whether to use resurrection later.

At this moment, the sky suddenly became overcast with clouds, blocking the sunlight.

A breath of destruction came without warning and enveloped the entire Sandworm Basin in an instant.

"What is this?" Everyone's expressions changed drastically, thinking that the movement here attracted the attention of something more terrifying.

They could only run for their lives from just a bunch of bugs, but what about another BOSS?

As everyone knows, the more terrifying thing is yet to come.

A man descended from the sky, as if he were an emperor. His long hair and green shirt made Lao Li Tou and Ye Mao Han feel particularly familiar.

At the same time, there was a strong wind on the field.

Countless amounts of sand and dust were picked up by the wind, swaying, circling, and flowing upstream, forming a series of windy scrolls that connected the sky and the earth under everyone's eyes.

In the distance, there was a huge sandstorm rolling in and making a roaring noise.

The ground also began to tremble violently, making Lao Litou and others unsteady and almost falling.

Almost instantly, everyone's vision was filled with yellow sand, and the wind and sand blew so much that they could hardly open their eyes.

Under such extreme weather, the senses of the sandworms that have lived in the desert for a long time were even hindered, and they once lost their goals.

Lao Li's scalp felt numb.

A thunderbolt from the clear sky + a tornado + a sandstorm + a huge earthquake with a physical sensation of level 10 or above. What kind of special effects is this at the level of the King of Hell? ?

"You go first."

Gu Chi pulled the trigger with a bang, and the bullet traveled through the wind and sand, hitting the dunes a few kilometers away, bursting into a dark vortex, and the air in front of him also twisted, forming a portal. Dozens of players gathered together like monsters and packed them up and sent them out.

"Roar!"

Twenty-one sandworms refocused on their target, emerged from the ground, and dived towards Gu Chi.

At the same time, the thunder clouds in the sky flashed a dazzling white light and thunder rolled.

The next second, Gu Chi disappeared from the spot.

"boom!"

Dozens of angry thunder suddenly fell down, densely packed like rain, all hitting the sandworm.

The giant sandworm, which had been set on fire by dozens of people before but did not suffer any substantial damage, suddenly exploded when it came into contact with the angry thunder. It was blown into pieces like flesh and bones. It was caught in the hurricane and became a wind and dragon roll. part.

Old Li Tou: "??!"

Ye Maohan: "??!"

Everyone's eyes widened, why is the thunder so powerful that it can even kill sandworms? ?

Gu Chi himself took a breath of cold sand.

The thunder of 9999+ misfortune is so terrifying.

"It seems like this tornado can't be touched either."

Gu Chi, who had escaped the disaster, did not stop. The thunder was gone for the time being, but there were still tornadoes and sandstorms, as well as the violently shaking ground with cracks.

Gu Chi's teleportation didn't stop for a moment.

Then everyone saw an extremely strange scene.

No matter how Gu Chi walked, those thick tornadoes were always following him.

Isn't this thing supposed to walk in a straight line? Why is it still turning?

What's even more outrageous is that the approaching sandstorm is also turning a corner.

Even because of Gu Chi's snake-like movement, Sandstorm also turned left and right and swayed repeatedly.

The trembling ground also followed Gu Chi's steps, as if there was an earthquake zone stuck to his feet.

Everyone: "???"

Is this reasonable?

"Not good." Old Li Tou reacted and found that Gu Chi was running closer and closer to the western part of the basin. He quickly shouted with all his strength: "Don't go that way, it's dangerous!!"

But a few kilometers away, Gu Chi's ears were filled with the sound of howling wind. Where could he hear it?

He is still teleporting to the west of the basin.

Nothing unusual was found.

Until earthquakes, tornadoes and sandstorms followed his path.

There was a crackling and booming sound, mixed with the sound of cracking, as if something was crushed and collapsed.

There was quite a lot of pouring and it lasted for a long time.

It feels like the building is falling apart.

There were a few wisps of black smoke in the wind and sand, drifting away with the wind.

Gu Chi is still running.

While running, a dungeon announcement suddenly popped up.

[The first phase goal "Destroy the Dark City" has been completed]

[Second phase target starts]

Old Li Tou: "?"

Ye Maohan: "??"

Everyone: "???"

Players scattered everywhere: "????"

Gu Chi: "Huh?"
