Echoes from the Lord's Playground Chapter 4

The young man Tyler Hu followed without hesitation and followed closely behind.

Adrian Wang hesitated for a moment, but still held the bronze candle, walked out of the room, and walked side by side with the hedgehog-headed boy.

Although it was night, the moon was bright and the stars were shining.

Everything in the world seems to be covered with a thin layer of bright silver gauze. Even without neon lights, you can still see everything around you clearly.

On the way, Nolan Logan was also thinking about the relationship between himself and the players.

What is certain is that players are not "leeks" and there is no need to "harvest" them.

The existence of the great magical power and destiny makes your interests completely consistent with those of the players!

The stronger the players are, the more benefits you can get from it!

Nolan Logan cleared his mind, and the three of them successfully arrived at their destination.

"arrive."

Nolan Logan stretched out his finger and pointed at a human-shaped sculpture under the shadow of a thatched house ten meters away: "The monster called the Sword Skeleton is only active during the day and often goes dormant at night."

"There are three ways to wake them up at night - getting too close, making too much noise, or carrying too bright a light source."

"So in the world of The Last Sword, people can farm and work at night."

"Social order is distorted but not completely broken."

Wu Zi Qiman hoped that the two could survive. After all, if the bound person became stronger, he would also get a corresponding improvement, which was equivalent to obtaining two human-shaped [external automatic training components].

Seeing Adrian Wang calmly stretch out his fingers to extinguish the light in the bronze candle, Nolan Logan nodded slightly and said, "This level of light is within the threshold of the sword skeleton's awakening, so there is no need to worry."

Having said that, he leisurely took out his pistol, turned on the safety, aimed at Jian Hai's chest, and gently pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Gunshots suddenly rang out.

Ten meters away, a cloud of blood mist burst out from the back of Jian Hai's head. He made an obvious backward movement, and then suddenly turned his head, as if looking in the direction of the three people.

The gentle young man Adrian Wang immediately retreated slowly, pulling away and coming to a position about 20 meters away. Alarm bells rang in his heart: "...Is this the Sword Skeleton? If the pioneer who calls himself Nolan Logan is killed by mistake, or even infected and transformed into a stronger Sword Skeleton, how can I escape?"

With a myriad of thoughts in his mind, he had to admit that he had indeed broadened his horizons.

Less than half an hour after arriving in the alien world, I saw monsters that would not die even if they were shot or shot in the head.

Tyler Hu forced himself to divert his attention away from Nolan Logan's pistol.

"A monster called Sword Corpse, is the sword on its hand its weakness?"

"If I were to face it alone, what would my chances of success be?"

The hedgehog-haired boy tilted his head, his eyes wide open, staring at the monster in the shadow, as if he wanted to remember every detail of its movements and physical features.

... Nolan Logan silently adjusted the safety and put the pistol back into his belt.

It's really fun to play the role of [Lone Wolf Pioneer]. I'm already enjoying it a little bit, but...

At such a close distance, aim for the chest and head.

My shooting skills are really a bit eye-catching.

The accuracy is too poor.

Using it to deal with the sword skeleton is not even as good as fighting it in close combat yourself!

For me now, the gun in my hand is actually more suitable for dealing with humans with flesh and blood.

Looking at the Galil ACE semi-automatic pistol on Nolan Logan's waist, Adrian Wang finally relaxed his vigilance against this "pioneer" a little.

If Nolan Logan, who is armed with a hot weapon and has good marksmanship, had any ill intentions towards me, he could have just shot me directly. Why would he have to pretend to be nice to me?

At the same time, Jian Hai, who was shot in the head, quickly stood firm.

It held a long sword in hand and staggered out of the shadows.

Under the moonlight, Adrian Wang and Tyler Hu finally saw the monster's appearance clearly.

---A skinny body without any skin covering it.

The dark green substance similar to muscle fibers is spread all over the body, giving people the feeling of a cheetah, lean but extremely explosive.

There was a small hole between Jian Hai's eyebrows and the back of his head, which was obviously caused by a bullet just now. However, such an injury seemed to have no effect on him at all.

Swish!

It suddenly turned its head, staring at Nolan Logan with its lifeless eyes. Holding the long sword, it staggered two steps, then found its balance again and rushed over at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Jian Hai did not make any unnecessary movements, he just slashed with the sword.

It is as quiet as a virgin and as agile as a rabbit. Its steps are clean and neat, and its sword is drawn without any delay. It perfectly fits the image of a swordsman in the minds of Adrian Wang and Tyler Hu!

However...

Bang!

Jian Hai and Nolan Logan passed each other.

Its fierce attack did not achieve any results. Instead, it collapsed to the ground with a plop, and its entire body decayed into a mud-like substance at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only the withered dark green severed hand, tightly grasping the hilt of the sword and lying quietly on the ground, proved that it really existed and was not an illusion.

quick!

too fast!

Nolan Logan's moves were so fast that it was difficult to capture them with dynamic vision!

"The strongest monster within a ten-kilometer radius of Blackrock Town is this sword skeleton that is infinitely close to the first level."

After killing the monster with one sword, Nolan Logan held his sword and slowly sheathed it.

Adrian Wang and Tyler Hu clearly saw that a ball of dark flame was quietly burning on the bright silver-white sword.

clang!

The long sword was sheathed, Nolan Logan stretched out his right hand, and a ball of black flame ignited in his palm: "The rest of the sword skeletons are even further away from the first level."

"Their speed, strength, observation, and killing skills are all very weak."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly clenched his right fist.

The next moment, the dark blue flame naturally split into two, broke through the air and crossed the boundary, suddenly hovering in front of the hedgehog-haired boy and the young man with glasses.

The third ability of the great power of destiny is that the owner of destiny can transmit/receive matter, energy and information to the bound person at any time, and the use of this ability does not consume any energy!

Nolan Logan said calmly: "The flames you see are the magic power condensed by swordsmanship. In addition to killing, they have other wonderful uses. If you are interested, you will have plenty of opportunities to explore them on your own in the future."

Borrowing the three-foot bright moon, holding the green dragon in both sleeves, riding a sharp sword and a fast horse, I gallop across the rivers and lakes for thousands of miles.

I really can't bear the loneliness, and I can't suppress the urge to show off in front of others...

But it's okay this way.

Appropriately demonstrating your abilities can also better establish your image as a "pioneer".

"These fires... are so cold!"

The young man Tyler Hu just stretched out his finger and lightly touched Cang Yan, and he felt that a lot of heat in his body was sucked away. He shivered uncontrollably, his teeth trembled up and down uncontrollably, and his eyes sparkled: "Senior...as expected...super strong!"

One day, I will become as strong as this senior Nolan Logan!

Adrian Wang, who had always been indifferent and calm, showed an uncontrollable fanaticism on his face when he saw the dark blue flame slowly extinguished in front of him.

His instinctive wariness and vigilance towards Nolan Logan finally disappeared.

The elegant young man pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and said, "In other words, all you need to do is find a shelter and hide there for 24 hours, and you can pass the level."

Nolan Logan nodded slightly: "During the newbie welfare period, if you don't pursue hidden tasks, the difficulty is indeed very low."

As he spoke, he turned his back and waved his hand: "The rest, you have to explore on your own."

"Sharing this valuable information with you is already the most I can do."

"Goodbye!"

Adrian Wang looked at his departing figure and said quickly, "Senior Nolan Logan, thank you very much for the information and help you provided!"

"I have one last question---"

"As players, are there any hidden rules that we need to follow when joining the Lord's Playground? For example, we must keep the Lord's secrets, and we are not allowed to show extraordinary powers in front of ordinary people. Once the existence of the Lord is revealed, we will be wiped out, etc.?"

Hearing this, Nolan Logan stopped where he was, turned around, and said with a smile: "Anything is allowed unless it is prohibited by law! As long as the task can be completed, everything is allowed!"

"Since you are polite enough, as a senior, I have two extra words for you."

"First, the Lord God is not a cold-blooded killer, nor is he anyone's babysitter."

"Second, the Lord God hopes to see players grow, improve and surpass themselves."

After he finished speaking, Nolan Logan's figure gradually disappeared into the night.

Adrian Wang pondered for a moment, then came to the hedgehog-headed boy, intending to take him back to the stone house where they first landed.

Tyler Hu, who was no longer trembling, had his own thoughts: "If I can survive a day successfully, the reward is just the 'Practice Manual of the Dark Sword Technique 'Cang Ming''. I don't know how long it will take to read and practice it."

"After the novice protection period, the difficulty of our tasks will definitely increase a lot!"

"Therefore, we must become stronger as quickly as possible and seize every opportunity to improve ourselves!"

"The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish! Right?"

Tyler Hu tempted the elegant young man: "Brother, you have brains and I have action, we complement each other perfectly, let's do the hidden mission together!"

Only by taking one step ahead can you take the lead at every step!

This is called the snowball effect!

If you demand stability in everything, it will be impossible for you to become the most powerful superhuman on earth!

After a moment of hesitation, Adrian Wang calmly analyzed and thought rationally, and finally rejected the proposal of the hedgehog-haired boy: "If it is to enhance strength, we have a more reliable way."

"As long as I survive today and return to Earth with the Cangming sword technique and prove my identity, there is a high probability that I will get support from the authorities!"

"Hidden missions and the like are unnecessary risks. I refuse!"

Adrian Wang does not have as big ambitions as Tyler Hu. Having been tortured by society, he just wants to survive, nothing more!
