Chapter 688: 685, Four Unlucky Guys_1
Sky Dragon had a smooth start. The teleportation site was very safe and close to her destination, Beak Country.
Perhaps her good luck was at play.
Not every player was so lucky though.
In the center of a vast ocean to the south of Skru Star, Zhong Feng transformed into a [Majestic Eagle], skimming over the sea.
But his sharp eyes were filled with melancholy.
There were no obstacles on the ocean’s surface, and he flew high enough to see the sea within 60 to 70 kilometers around him.
The problem was, there were no big landmasses around him, not even a small island, and what was even stranger was that the ocean was mainly populated by ordinary fish, there were no advanced intelligent fish.
In summary, he had absolutely no idea which direction to fly in.
“Oh well, keep flying straight in one direction! Skru Star is round, so if I fly in one direction I’ll eventually encounter land,” he thought.
Without thinking too much, he increased his speed, staring straight ahead.
…
In the depths of the wilderness, Frost Red Tea jumped out of the dense forest in a disheveled state, kneeling on the ground, gasping heavily.
Half of his body was covered in fresh blood, his once strong, slender arm was trembling uncontrollably, and he could barely hold the dagger in his hand.
Sweat poured down from his forehead, flowing down his hair like a waterfall. This was a far cry from his usual elegant assassin image.
This was mainly because his teleportation site was just beside a sixth-order top-tier bear-like Warcraft.
Of course, the bear-like Warcraft wouldn’t tolerate him, this intruder.
As soon as Frost Red Tea appeared, a pair of huge paws whistling through the air lunged at him.
If it were just this one sixth-order Warcraft, it wouldn’t be a problem. Assassins have strong survival skills, if he couldn’t win, he could run away!
But soon he realized the real problem – his location wasn’t only occupied by this one sixth-order Warcraft, this was clearly a den full of Demon Beasts, with around twenty or thirty big and small bear-like Warcrafts!
The bear-like Warcrafts were taken aback when they saw Frost Red Tea.
Were their ancestors bringing them food from heaven?
But Frost Red Tea’s heart sank to his feet.
“This is starting off like a trip to hell!”
In the wilderness, Warcraft nests would usually have formations to counter stealth abilities to prevent their younglings from being snatched by stealthy Warcrafts.
That’s why Frost Red Tea couldn’t rely on his stealth ability to escape, he had to break out using his own strength.
After a hard half-hour battle, he finally managed to escape the Warcraft nest.
But the cost was great, he was severely injured and used two bottles of the Master-Level Life Recovery Potion given to him by Su Yu.
Now, kneeling in the forest, gasping for breath, he felt like crying but had no tears.
“I’ve lost so much! I haven’t gained anything and two bottles of Master-Level healing potions, worth 6 million spiritual energy coins, are gone!”
Frost Red Tea’s heart ached at the loss.
After resting for nearly half an hour, he finally recovered fully.
He stood up, tidied his equipment, and used his [Stealth] skill to cautiously move forward.
“No matter what, I’ve lost a lot this time, I have to make it up from the people of Skru Star, otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair to the two bottles of potion I wasted,” he thought.
But then, a huge shadow suddenly appeared on the ground beneath him, and the surrounding light dimmed drastically.
Lifting his head, he saw a giant flying Warcraft, at least 40 meters long, diving towards him.
…
In an active volcano near the polar region of the north side of Skru Star.
Splash!
Shepherd in the Clouds, surrounded by a [Frost Shield], shot out of the volcano like a scorched duck at an extremely fast speed.
Now, only a thin layer of his [Frost Shield] remained, and half of his mana was depleted.
He was wearing the [Lighthouse Sudden Chill] suit gifted by Su Yu, and this light blue cloth armor was now burnt and blackened, he really did look like a scorched duck.
“Damn it, why is the interior of the volcano so convoluted? If I hadn’t figured out the correct location at the last moment, I might have been the first player from Blue Star to be burned to death in a volcano. That’s just embarrassing!” Shepherd in the Clouds was covered in black soot.
After being teleported to Skru Star, he immediately found himself in a river of molten lava.
The rule of random teleportation is that after teleportation, the destination would be on the surface of Skru Star, not underground.
So when he saw the lava, he immediately realized that he was teleported inside a volcano.
Fortunately, with Shepherd in the Clouds’s sixth-order strength and the substantial ice-attribute boost from his equipment, he could “swim” in lava for an extended period of time without fear of being burned alive.
But what he didn’t expect was the surprising complexity of the volcano’s interior structure.
According to Shepherd in the Clouds’s original assumption, since he was in a volcano, swimming upwards could never be wrong.
But to his surprise, as he swam, he found a massive rock blocking the way above, and the irregular flow of the surrounding lava didn’t allow him to determine the location of the volcano’s mouth.
Moreover, being inside the volcano suppressed his perception abilities to the utmost and rendered his teleportation abilities completely useless. Thus he got a terrifying sense of being in a maze inside the volcano! He swam for over an hour before he finally found the volcano’s mouth.
Flying out of the volcano, Shepherd in the Clouds took deep breaths of the sulfuric air around him, his heart filled with the joy of having narrowly escaped death.
“I must be the unluckiest cultivator from Blue Star, right? I was teleported into a volcano and almost burned to death… No, once I get back, I must teach other players about the complexity of a volcano’s interior,” he thought.
Shepherd in the Clouds didn’t dare to look at the volcano again, in fear of remembering the heartbreak of the recent past,
He stayed low to the ground, flying rapidly towards the south.
Although the volcano was near the north pole of Skru Star and the climate was cold there, the soil near the volcano was always the most fertile. Therefore, several large-scale farms were located at the foot of the volcano to the south.
Shepherd in the Clouds planned to go into the farms and catch someone, then figure out where to go next.
…
In fact, Shepherd in the Clouds and Frost Red Tea weren’t the worst off; the unluckiest of all was A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, who hadn’t spoken much.
After A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was teleported, he immediately found himself in a seemingly grand palace.
And this palace looked strangely familiar.
After recalling for a fraction of a second, he remembered!
This wasn’t a palace, but the National Museum in Lun Kete Alliance, which also happened to be the stronghold of the God-level being, Sidim!
Not long ago, he had meticulously researched the video of Boss Ke battling in this museum.
At that time, he thought to himself – If only I could cause chaos in the enemy’s base like Boss Ke, how great would that be!
But he didn’t expect someone to grant his wish for him. Now, he was teleported right into the enemy’s lair.
