Volume 19 Chapter 44 Deep into the national barrier

After signing the guide contract, Aduo and Soter became my guides. The reason why I wanted to hire two guides at a time was mainly because I was afraid that if I lost one guide on the road halfway, at least I could still move normally. Otherwise, if the guide died halfway, although I would not get lost, whether I was exploring alone or walking back and finding a guide, it would be very troublesome, so I decided to hire two guides at a time to save the trouble of getting the time.

"What do you call the customer?" After signing the contract, the two guides in charge of taking me asked.

"Purple Ri." I replied.

"Purple Ri? The same name as the president of the Frost Rose Alliance?" the hunter player named Soter asked in a little surprise.

To be honest, I am even more surprised than him now. Whether he knows me or not, I will not be surprised, but he knows that the name Zi Ri corresponds to the position of President of the Frost Rose Alliance, but he doesn't know me standing in front of him. He has never heard of me at all, but since he knows that I am President of the Frost Rose Alliance, there is no reason to recognize me? I have not used camouflage skills. Can anyone still recognize such a dazzling equipment in the Dragon suit?

"Since you know that I am the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, why wouldn't you recognize me?"

"What? Are you the president of the Frost Rose Alliance?" The player seemed surprised and looked at me up and down for a long time, then said with disbelief: "Don't tease the guests, Zi Ri is the idol in the minds of Chinese players. Your equipment is indeed very dazzling, but it is too different from Zi Ri's equipment. Even if I have only watched a few Zi Ri's combat videos, I wouldn't have mistaken the equipment, right?"

"Damn, where did you watch the video? Could it be that you regard the enemy you fought against me as me?"

"I'm not a fool. Can't I see where I am my own?" Soter said excitedly: "President Zi Ri summoned his dragon demon pet to fight together in that video. This is someone's signature. How could I make a mistake?"

"Then do you think the Zi Ri on the video I watched and I don't look like it?"

Soter stared at me and looked at me for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, you are different from the Zi Ri on the video I saw." When he said this, he seemed to think of something and turned around and said to the archer, "A Duo, you should have watched President Zi Ri's battle video, too?"

I originally thought I could be so sad that I was so upset, but I didn't expect that the mm named A Duo opened his mouth and said, "I don't know if what I saw is the same as what you saw, but the President Zi Ri inside is indeed different from the guest. President Zi Ri's equipment is mainly dark black, red and purple. Although there are a lot of black on your armor, there are too many bright colors, and the overall look is different. Moreover, President Zi Ri has wings, so how can you be President Zi Ri if you don't even have wings?"

"Sote, Aduo." The leader who led the team who signed the agreement with me before suddenly said sternly: "Are you anyone who doubts the guests like this? Even if they are not President Zi Ri, you don't have to say that they are ugly, right? Take them on the road quickly. We are the guides who make money by making money by their ability. Don't waste their time."

Damn, what this old guide said was fair enough. It sounded like he was defending me, but the problem was that he clearly said this, just like those two, he did not recognize my identity!

"Hey, where did you watch the video? I'm really Zi Ri."

"Okay, okay, the guest, you said yes." The old guide replied, but the more he said he was, I became more anxious.

"What do I mean? I mean!"

"Yes, you are Ziri. Okay, Aduo, Soter, take the guests up the mountain."

"I..." Before I finished speaking, I was carried up the mountain by two guides, one left and one right, but I came back after walking for a while.

When the old guide saw that we were suddenly back, he immediately walked over and asked in confusion: "Why are you back?"

Seeing that the old guide had signs of getting angry, Sort quickly explained. "I just walked wrong and the guest was going to cross the mountain."

The old guide who was already in the sign of getting angry immediately shouted at Sort angrily: "Is this the customer's goal?" You are the guide, and you will lead the way without asking where the customer is going. Which guide are you doing? Go quickly, be careful that I will deduct your salary if you make a mistake."

"Let's go now!" Soter was scolded by the old guide and almost jumped with his head in his arms. A Duo took the opportunity to sneak past the platform and waved to me at the intersection on the other side. Obviously, he didn't want to be caught by the old guide. Seeing her scared, the old guide who led the team probably had a long history of power, and all the young guides who worked under him were afraid of death.

After A Duo and I walked to the right intersection there, Soter finally escaped from the old guide's pursuit and ran over. Seeing his sigh-like look, I almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Okay, let's go quickly, and the captain will catch us and he will peel us off." As soon as Sort saw us, he shouted that we should leave quickly.

I held my smile and followed this guy into the mountain road and headed towards the mountain.

According to Soter and Aduo, the mountain path we are walking on now should be able to reach the back of the mountain. As for how to walk behind, it is not something Soter and the others can understand.

"Aren't you guides? Why don't you know how to walk behind?" When they learned that the road behind the mountain was not clear, I looked at Soter and Aduo in surprise and asked.

A Duo explained: "We are indeed guides, but we have never taken this far away like a guest. I heard from the seniors in our guide team that someone has indeed been to the back of the mountain before, but they have been here for more than a year, and in total, they have met three people who are going to the back mountain."

"Don't you have a large passenger flow here? Why did three people go to the back of the mountain for so long? And didn't your captain say that you two are the most powerful guides under him? Why do you still have seniors?"

It was still Aduo who explained: "That's right. Regarding our strength, the captain didn't lie to you. The two of us have the highest team strength and the strongest combat power. However, we have only been more than four months as guides. As for the profession of guides, we are the kind of people who are half new and not old. There are seniors in front and juniors in the back."

I nodded and said, "So that's it."

A Duo continued: "The traffic you mentioned is actually correct. The traffic here is indeed very large, but few people really want to go to the back of the mountain. Behind Wanya Mountain is the national barrier. You may not know that there are usually super-level monsters on the national border between countries in this game. In a sentence on the Internet, it is: there are as many bosses as dogs, and divine beasts are everywhere. How many people are there in this place that have nothing to do to play? Besides, Wanya Mountain is a radius of hundreds of miles and is amazingly large. Generally, tourists will stay for a week at most. It would be nice to go around the front mountain at such a little time. Not many people can move to the back mountain, let alone pass through it."

Soter also said, "Yes. To be honest, I doubt whether I can run to the back mountain for three days you have set. According to me, three days are not enough."

"I can't get through the mountain road for more than 200 miles in three days?" I asked in disbelief.

Seeing that I didn't believe it, Soter immediately said, "Yes, it's more than 200 miles of mountain road, but let alone three days, five days can pass by, we will run faster. This mountain road is different from flat ground. If it's on the prairie, you can get a better mount, let alone three days, less than two hundred miles an hour. But this is Wanya Mountain! We are not completely walking, and we will definitely encounter some monsters on the way. It's okay if we encounter some monsters of nine hundred or one thousand levels, we have to take a detour. This process will undoubtedly delay time. There are also some terrain obstacles like cliffs. If you want to pass it, you will have to work hard. If you calculate 200 miles at the speed on the flat ground, it doesn't take that long, but in the mountains, three days are definitely not enough."

After hearing Sort's words, I stopped defending him, but nodded to show my understanding. It was not that I agreed with his point of view, but that I figured out the reason. According to him, it would take more than three days to take an ordinary player through this mountain, and even the five days he said were conservative estimates. The biggest reason for this is the monster they mentioned.

For me, unless you encounter a regional guard or a regional boss level, ordinary wild monsters do not pose a threat at all. But the problem is that that is my standard. For ordinary players, since wild monsters generally have terrain adaptability advantages to the areas they appear, many players will still suffer even if the levels are equal. For example, if a player of level 900 encounters an ice giant of level 900, needless to say, you will definitely not be able to encounter an ice giant in the desert, and where you can encounter an ice giant must be a place where you can freeze your chin. In this extremely cold area, even two 900 players may not have done a 900-level ice giant, so it is generally troublesome to encounter local wild monsters in the wild.

These guides usually take ordinary players to move. If they encounter low-level monsters, they will not be able to solve them together, but it will not be too late. But if they encounter high-end goods, it will be awful. If they can not be discovered by the other party, they will be lucky to waste several times of time and go around in a big circle. If they are discovered and chased, they will be completely finished. Therefore, in such a place, the time required on the road cannot be simply divided by the speed, and the time calculated in that way is definitely inaccurate.

However, although I know that those so-called monsters do not pose a threat to me, I do not intend to defend them. We talked about my identity for a long time but didn't make it clear. Now I want to explain to them that I am not afraid of those monsters and they will definitely not believe them. Instead of wasting that time, it is better to wait until next time I really encounter the direct point of killing the monsters. Facts are better than words, so that they can see that my strength is much simpler than I told them myself.

"Okay, let's go quickly. When you two meet monsters, you two remind me."

"That's certainly." A Duo said seriously: "Discovering danger in advance and warning customers is the main responsibility of our battlefield guide. We are professional in this regard, and you can definitely rest assured."

As expected, A Duo didn't say a big deal. They were indeed professional in discovering monsters. After we left the platform, we ran into a passing monster less than half an hour later. A Duo and Sot pulled me behind the rocks on the side of the road from a distance, and then A Duo whispered to me: "There is a rock sheep in front of me, a level 650 monster. Do you want to kill it or wait for it to pass?"

"Why have to wait for it to pass?" I asked in surprise.

Sort explained: "This is because each guest has different strengths. Some guests are just here to play, or they are not good at fighting. It takes time to deal with this thing. Some people think it's troublesome, so they don't want to attack it. Because the Rock Sheep itself is an active attack monster, those who don't want to attack the Rock Sheep will wait for it to go before leaving. This saves trouble. Of course, for us, the Rock Sheep is very average. If you want to kill it, it's okay. If you ask us to help, it will only take a few dozen seconds at most. Of course, because you signed an agreement without fighting before, it will cost us an extra fee."

They were talking, and the rock sheep on the other side had already swayed out of the woods. I didn't listen to the two guides at all. I flashed out from behind the rock and shook my hand. The rock sheep on the opposite side instantly separated from my body.

Aduo and Soter didn't expect me to suddenly run out. When they reacted and followed, they found that the rock sheep's head was missing, and its body was still standing there, blood was spraying out of its neck.

I originally thought that if these two guides who were a little stupid to see the scene of killing the rock sheep in an instant, they would have a more intuitive understanding of my strength. Who knows that I still underestimate their natural stupidity too much.

“Hurry and hide.”

Just as I was proudly preparing to welcome Aduo and Soter in surprise inquiry, I was screaming when I was waiting. At the same time, Soter actually threw me to the ground and dragged me back to the back of the rock.

"What the hell is going on?" I was still confused when dragged behind the rock. Didn't I just kill a monster of more than 600? As for such a big reaction? Besides, if I kill a monster, why do they still look like they are facing a great enemy? Could it be...?

Sure enough, while pressing me behind the rock, Soter pressed his head to observe the surrounding environment, and said nervously to me: "Hide it quickly. The one who can kill the rock sheep in an instant and make the other party react is a monster above level 1,000. Damn, here is so close to the entrance, how could a monster above level 1,000 run out? Shouldn't that kind of thing be found in the deep mountains?"

"That..." I poked Sort, and then waited for him to turn his head before saying, "Are you getting something wrong?"

"Is it wrong?" Sort said to himself in a thoughtful manner: "The rock sheep's head is gone, and its body is still standing. The monster that attacked it must be so fast that the rock sheep didn't even see it, otherwise this effect would not have happened. It was indeed wrong to say that. It was not a monster of one thousand, but a boss of one thousand two hundred. No, so we all have to die here. I will stay and cut off the back. You will leave first."

"Okay, okay, I'm defeated by you two." Seeing that A Duo was really going to come over as Sort said, I quickly stood up and said, "That rock sheep was not killed by a monster."

"Not monsters killed? What can it be? Other players?"

"It's a player, but not another player, I killed that rock sheep." These two natural dads had no slight association ability at all. They could not understand any information that needed reasoning from your language without directly explaining the facts.

"You killed me?" Sort was stunned for a while at first, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha, stop kidding. You just went out less than a second before us, where did you get the time to take action?"

After Soter finished saying this, I took Yongheng up and turned it into a whip-sword shape under the surprised gaze of Soter and Aduo, and then said, "Look." When I said the last word, my wrist suddenly shook, and then I instantly returned to my previous shape. People with bad eyes couldn't even tell that I had moved.

After waiting for a few seconds, Sort reacted and asked in surprise: "What did you ask us to see? Nothing happened?"

I didn't say anything, but reached out to the rock next to me, which was as big as a van, and I heard a bang that instantly shattered into a stone chestnut all over the ground, and each gravel was no more than the size of a glass marble.

Seeing Soter's expression changed from indifferent to surprise to shock, and finally changed to nervousness, I quickly said: "Stop calling out there are monsters. If you want to believe it, just point me to a target and tell me whether to cut pieces or strips, or you want powder."

Before Soter could speak, A Duo pointed to the rock behind the fallen rock sheep and said, "It's that stone. If you stand here, if you can attack that stone, I believe you have the strength to kill the rock sheep at such a distance."

A Duo seemed to be a little smarter than Sot. She didn't believe that I had killed the rock sheep before. The rock sheep was more than ten meters away from where we were, and what I was holding was just a sword. Although it was not impossible to use a sword to attack targets more than ten meters away, it required the firing of sword energy and other things. Those things were generally very powerful. Even after killing the rock sheep, they would leave obvious traces on the mountains or rocks behind, and would produce explosions and other effects. It was impossible to be silent like I used to.

After hearing A Duo's request, I pushed Soter, who was still in a daze, to the side, then raised my hand to swung the Eternal Sword. The Eternal Sword is now in the form of a whip sword. I immediately decomposed and lengthened, swept the rocks in the distance and retracted them again in an instant. It was so fast that I could not see clearly, but the rocks stretched out from the side of the mountain road opposite suddenly cracked open, and one of the half-hanging rocks actually fell off the main body and rolled onto the road, and the main body of the rock on the mountain wall was left with a smooth mirror.

"Hehe..." A Duo and Sot heard a hiccup sound at the same time. Obviously, they had never seen such a fast and powerful attack method before. The most important thing is that my attack distance is so scary. It is obviously a warrior-like equipment that can actually attack targets more than ten meters away, and it has such great power. This is really scary.

"Did you believe it now?"

The two of them nodded desperately together, and A Duo quickly turned over and stretched out his fingers and pointed at me carefully and asked, "Then you said you were..."

"Zi Ri. I didn't lie to you. I am really the president of the Frost Rose Alliance. Although I don't know where you are watching the video, I am me."

A Duo nodded and said, "Yes, your weapons are exactly the same as what you see on the video, but your equipment..."

I suddenly thought of a question and asked tentatively: "Do you have time to see the video? Have you ever said when it was the video?"

A Duo and Soter quickly fell into deep thought, and finally reported an accurate time. I just remembered it a little and understood what was going on. The video they saw was actually a battle record of my early years. At that time, the equipment I was wearing was not the Dragon Set, but the Dragon Set. The dragon set I was wearing now was upgraded from the national weapon transformation of the Dragon Set when the national weapon was upgraded. The magic dragon set that was not modified before was evil equipment, and it was of course darker in color. Although the dragon set was based on the Dragon Set, it was modified after all, and the appearance and color would change somewhat. These two people had not watched my recent battle video for a long time, so they admitted their mistakes.

After understanding my identity, Aduo and Sot's performance was obviously different. First, the enthusiasm was greatly improved, and second, our way of moving was completely changed. The reason why our movement speed was very slow before was entirely because Aduo and Sot had to warn you about whether there were monsters nearby, so they didn't dare to walk too fast. After knowing my identity, their courage increased significantly. They didn't look at any monster or monster. Just rush forward directly. Anyway, if a monster appears, I will solve it as soon as possible.

Because we didn't need to take into account the monsters blocking the way, our movement speed could be said to be super fast. Later, in order to speed up, I even summoned the steel claws and lent them to Aduo and Sot for transportation, while I rode on Ye Ying.

Originally, when Ye Ying was summoned, Aduo and Soter wanted to say that they could not ride horses in the mountains, but when they found that Ye Ying was flying, they stopped talking. As for the steel claws, this guy's claws were really suitable for climbing mountains. Although there were no suction cups on its claws, the center of gravity was low, and the second was that the guy's claws could fix themselves in the rocks. The third was that the twelve strong and powerful tentacles on the back of the steel claws could be used as fixers nearby or in the mountains. Not to mention the mountain with a steep slope, even a vertical cliff, the steel claws could climb directly.

With the mount, the speed is obviously different. The three of us rushed all the way, and I was too lazy to watch monsters with a level below 1,500. They killed them in one blow. As for the more advanced monsters, I have not yet encountered any of them.

To be honest, it is actually safer to fly from the air to fly through the border. Of course, this means that you have flying mounts that can fly to high altitudes. The national boundary line is generally three-dimensional, not only on the ground, but also on the low altitude areas and underground. There are many advanced creatures distributed in three-dimensionally on the section of this boundary line, so simply thinking that you can pass through the border if you can drill into the ground or fly is purely a dream. However, my mission this time is to investigate what bad things the Russians are planning to do. It is not to simply cross national boundaries, so you can't fly from the sky, otherwise you won't have to be so troublesome at all.

According to the plan of Soter and Aduo, it would take at least five days to pass through Wanya Mountain, but due to the speed of the mount and my combat effectiveness, the time was shortened to three hours. This was because they were delayed a lot of time when they didn't know my identity before. However, the relaxed journey ended here.

"President Zi Ri, we have to be careful from here. Although you are indeed very strong, it is not a general leveling area but a national barrier from now on, so..."

"I understand this. I have also crossed the national barrier before, and I still know the dangers here."

Although Wanya Mountain behind us and the unknown mountain range in front of us are tightly attached, it is perfect to describe this place in one sentence - take a step back and go further to hell.

Although the two mountains are close together, Wanya Mountain behind us belongs to the tourist leveling area, while the unknown mountain range in front of us belongs to the national barrier.

As the name suggests, the tourist leveling area is a place for players to travel or leveling. The monsters here are for players to watch and hunt. Although the monsters in the leveling area can only kill players, as long as the player is not reckless, it is generally rare to be killed by monsters. However, just a national barrier separated by a mountain is another matter.

Unlike the tourist and leveling zones that make players happy, the purpose of the national barrier is not for players to play. Its purpose is to block the free passage between the two countries, which is one of the right to system interference. If we compare things in reality, the tourist leveling zone is equivalent to a dangerous amusement park with casualties, while the national barrier is a military restricted area. No matter how dangerous the amusement park is, it is still an amusement park. One more person can die in 10,000 people can die in 10,000 people can get out. Therefore, the two are not the same concept at all. Although they are very close and even the terrain is similar, if anyone regards them as the same existence, they are purely seeking death.

"Okay, now is the time for you to play." I said to Aduo and Sort: "Give us your skills and let us avoid detours."

A Duo said with some uncertainty: "That... we have never been here, but the dangers in the national barrier are only those creatures. The geographical environment should still follow the rules of terrain gradient, so we can only help you prevent some harm caused by the environment, and you have to solve the others yourself."

I nodded and said, "That's natural. The monsters in the national barrier start at level 1,000. Your strength will definitely not be able to fight here. But don't worry, it's not a problem to have me here. You just need to find a way for me."
To be continued...
