Chapter 11: Lively Novice Village
By the way, during the time , the area around Novice Village No. 69 in the game was extremely lively.
Because of the sudden system announcement, many players quickly gathered towards Novice Village No. 69.
Especially those players who had the herbs needed by the Forest King Bai Yi, they were now rushing to the front, fearing that they would be overtaken by other players if they were a little slower. As for the players who did not have any herbs, their pace was not that slow.
After all, gossip is everywhere and curiosity is something everyone has, so even if they run over there they won’t get any reward, but one by one they still quickly rushed towards the direction of Novice Village No. 69.
…
Not far from the entrance of Novice Village No. 69, you can see a forest opposite the entrance. Looking at the forest from afar, it gives people a strong sense of oppression, making people feel that there is something in it that makes people look up to it.
However, many players cannot tell what is inside, including many players who have entered to explore. After coming out, they all told others with a depressed look on their faces that there was actually nothing inside.
If there is something inside, then there is a temple in the middle of the forest. When the players saw the temple, they were all very excited, thinking that they had found something extraordinary. Maybe it contained the equipment that many players admired, or maybe the mythical beasts that many players dreamed of existed there?
However, to the disappointment of many players, they could not enter the temple. When they were less than ten meters away from the temple, those players found themselves losing blood rapidly. Then, without having time to replenish their blood, they turned into streaks of white light and died.
After the news of the temple incident spread, no player wanted to explore the forest for a long time. After all, there were no monsters in the forest, and apart from a temple that would force players to commit suicide, there was nothing else to attract players to go in.
Gradually, everyone forgot about the strange forest outside Novice Village No. 69. If it weren't for today's sudden system announcement, everyone would probably have completely forgotten its existence.
…
At this time, at the entrance of the forest near Novice Village No. 69, a group of players rushed towards the entrance of the forest at high speed. From a distance, the scene was quite sensational. All that could be heard was the rumbling sound of footsteps and the dust in the sky.
At the entrance of the forest, there was originally an entrance about two meters wide. Now, in the middle there was a stone table that came from nowhere, and in front of the stone table sat an old man in a moon-white robe.
The old man was reading a book in his hand. When he heard a rumbling sound coming from afar, he looked over.
When he saw the group of players rushing towards him like wild bulls, his brows slightly frowned, then quickly returned to normal, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, slowly sketching a mischievous smirk.
The old man put down the scroll in his hand. When the scroll just touched the stone table in front of him, the stone table and the scroll just placed on it disappeared instantly.
If the stone bench the old man was sitting on was not still there, people might think that the stone table had never existed.
After the stone table disappeared, the old man stood up. As he stood up, the stone bench behind him also disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that group of players saw him, an old man, standing in the middle of the road, and had no intention of stopping, and were still rushing towards him madly, the smile on the old man's face became deeper. His lips hidden under his white beard were moving slightly, and a string of difficult to understand sentences slowly came out of his mouth.
A few seconds later, when the old man stopped talking, the group of players in front suddenly fell into a pit while sprinting frantically. The pit was at least ten meters deep, and the group of players who fell in were either dead or disabled.
After the old man saw that everyone had fallen into the pit he had created, he walked over with a smile on his face. When he was close to the edge of the pit, he could hear the wailing coming from below. He had a snicker on his face without disguising it. His long white beard was shaking on his face because of his smile.
At this moment, the old man was looking down at the many wailing players at the bottom of the pit, and said with a smug smile: "Are you hurt from the fall? Hey, who told you to rush over so wildly? Didn't you see I, an old man, am in the middle of the road? You don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. This is a small punishment for you. In the future, you must remember to respect the elderly and love the young, otherwise you will be dead." After saying that, he did not forget to roll his eyes and threaten the group of players at the bottom of the pit while looking down at them.
After he finished speaking, he found that everyone at the bottom of the pit was staring at . His face turned cold, and he looked down at the players below with displeasure and asked, "What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied with me, an old man?"
"We are convinced! We are all convinced."
The players at the bottom of the pit are angry but dare not speak out. Some feel wronged and feel that they are wronged. It would be better if they didn't come to join in the fun. Now they didn't get to watch the fun, and they almost got crippled. Now they are threatened by NPCs. How pitiful. (You should know that in Shengyu, if a player breaks an arm or leg and goes to the NPC for treatment, the NPC may decide the medical expenses based on his personal mood, and may blackmail you into bankruptcy!!!)
Until many players were pulled out of the pit by the old man, they all gathered together there with fear on their faces, and no one dared to act wildly anymore.
The reason why everyone didn't dare to act wild, besides the fact that the old man had just put them in a pit, was also because there were a few blood-red words on the old man's head, which made them feel deeply afraid.
Those were the words 'King of the Forest - Bai Yi' hanging ostentatiously above the old man's head.
Looking at that blood-red name, could they, as players, have any objection? I'm afraid that if any guy who wants to die has an objection, Bai Yi will definitely send him back to the city for free without any hesitation.
As for the players who had high-level medicinal herbs on them, although they felt resentful when they saw Bai Yi, they were more happy because they were more concerned about what reward Bai Yi would give them.
As for those players who didn't have any medicinal herbs on them and came here just to watch the fun, they were all looking at Bai Yi and the players who were trading with starry eyes, wanting to know what kind of rewards they could get.
However, at this time, inside the temple in the forest.
There was a sleeping girl in a huge crystal coffin. For some reason, the girl's blue curly hair was slowly fading, until it finally turned silver and then slowly stopped.
