The scorching sun hung high in the sky, as a steel metropolis resembling a mountain range slowly traversed the wild plains. It seemed like a steel giant beast that obscured the sky, crawling across the earth. Every step sent tremors through the ground, causing birds and beasts within several kilometers to flee in terror, not daring to approach this steel giant beast.
Yet beneath this steel giant beast, countless convoys rushed from all directions, swarming into the belly of this steel giant.
Both Lin Qi, seeing the moving city for the first time, and the players sitting on the car roofs were stunned by the scene before their eyes.
In front of the steel metropolis with a radius of over ten kilometers, whether humans or towering monsters five or six meters tall, they all seemed insignificant like ants, destined to be crushed.
"Damn! How much budget would it take to create this scene?"
"Awesome! Just awesome! This moving city alone could keep me entertained for a year. The game developer actually plans to make this a one-time map, that's really generous."
"Quick! Record it! Every frame of this CGI is art. If you miss it, it's gone forever."
"If this CGI could be made into the opening scene of a game cabin, it would definitely sell like crazy!"
The players on the medium-sized transport truck gazed at the Moving City of Azure Sky, overwhelmed with shock.
Although many people present had played no less than a dozen virtual games, none could be as soul-stirring as Descent of High Martial.
Whether it was the roar of the steel metropolis or the vibrations as it moved across the ground, especially seeing the gigantic city with a radius of over ten kilometers in motion, it made people instinctively afraid as if suffering from megalophobia.
Just when everyone thought Lin Qi would drive the medium-sized truck into the Azure Sky like the other convoys, Lin Qi suddenly turned the steering wheel towards a distant forest, making Fang Zhen and others driving the transport truck feel puzzled, but they still followed.
"Qin Mu, aren't your friends planning to go with us?" Hou Fei, driving the transport truck, glanced at the rear-view mirror in confusion, noticing that Lin Qi and the others had gone elsewhere without intending to go with them.
"Well, Brother Lin said he has his own tasks, so he won't be joining us." Qin Mu replied with a smile.
"What a pity. If they acted together with us, with their strength, they might have explored the outskirts of the city." Hou Fei glanced at the three medium-sized transport trucks heading into the distant woods and sighed softly, no longer pursuing the matter.
Since the fierce battle at Red Moon Mountain, the fame of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall had grown day by day. Now, they had even wiped out the Great Ape Gang. Their strength was considered by many to rival the top ten gangs in the wilderness.
With Hall Master Lin Qi already being a Martial Artist, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was likely to establish themselves in the suburbs of Chasing Light City in the future, having considerable influence in the entire suburb.
After his promotion to Quasi-Warrior, he had been drawing closer to Qin Mu, largely due to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
"Have they left?" A stern Feather Race man in another transport truck glanced at Lin Qi and others who weren't following, a trace of disdain in his eyes. "At least those Human Race members know their limits. If they had continued to follow, I would have had to let others deal with them."
"It's just a wilderness gang that wiped out the Great Ape Gang, no need to bother with them," said the Feather Race youth sitting beside him indifferently. "The main purpose of our family's dispatch this time is the Martial Artist Association of Azure Sky, and the stations of those major forces. Even if they followed us, they would be blocked by the gangs and family personnel guarding the city."
"Yes, Master Mokar!" Even though the stern man wore B3-level battle armor and had the Qi and Blood of a Middle Tier Martial Artist, he responded respectfully to the noble young man before him.
Mokar Los, the eldest young master of the Los Martial Artist Clan, ranked among the top ten Martial Artist Clans in the suburbs of Chasing Light City. Any gang or family such as the Phosphorus Fire Gang and Gorilla Gang in the suburbs would treat the Los Clan with due respect.
Mokar Los himself, not yet twenty-two years old, was already an Initial Stage Martial Artist and a potential top performer certified by the Martial Artist Association, with a 100% chance of getting into the Genius Training Camp this year. Middle Tier, High Tier Martial Artists mean nothing in front of Mokar Los.
Meanwhile, in the wilderness forest area, Lin Qi drove over a kilometer before finally stopping in front of a ravine, allowing all players to disembark.
"Hall Master, aren't we going to enter Azure Sky to explore?" Twilight of the Gods looked at the Azure Sky that was at least two or three kilometers away, puzzled about why Lin Qi stopped the car here.
"We are going to explore Azure Sky, but before exploring, we need to set up camp and have a place to rest," Lin Qi said in a formal tone, looking over the gathered players. "Binding this temporary rest area requires three thousand points per person. If you wish to bind, come find me. If not, you can start heading to explore Azure Sky now."
With Lin Qi's words, everyone was astonished.
"A temporary respawn point?"
"Did the game developers finally become reasonable?"
"Three thousand points, why is it one thousand more than Red Moon Mountain?"
"This time it's a limited-time event. If there are nearby respawn points, you should be secretly happy. If you find it expensive, you can choose not to bind, and at worst, you just have to walk for a few hours to get here."
"Does anyone here have six hundred points to lend me? I'll pay you back twelve hundred when I return from Azure City!"
Initially, everyone thought they needed to be cautious of dying in this limited-time event. After all, it took four hours driving all the way here, and since nobody knows how long this limited-time event will last, they couldn't afford to die easily. Many even planned how to survive in Azure Sky, taking loans to buy a Super Electromagnetic Spear just in case something unforeseen happened.
"The plan needs a little modification." Fang Zhen, looking at the temporary respawn points that could be bound, quickly gathered his team.
At this moment, not only Fang Zhen's team, but all the teams present decided to change their original action plan.
"Has everyone bound themselves?" Luo Wushang asked, glancing at Zhang Qingwei and the others who had gathered.
"Everyone is bound." Zhang Qingwei nodded and reported.
"Now that we have temporary respawn points, our next actions need to be adjusted." Luo Wushang glanced at the twenty-six people gathered and swiftly instructed, "To consider exploration efficiency, everyone will operate according to this: martial artist-level can act alone, below that, act in pairs. If you encounter tough enemies, record it and team up later. We'll regroup in two hours to handle exploration items. If there are no issues, let's move now."
Everyone nodded, without any objections.
As for the other teams, they all chose the same strategy, splitting their original teams into several, even more than a dozen. They swarmed towards Azure Sky like locusts, disappearing into the woods.
"I hope they bring back some nice things." Lin Qi watched the players disappearing and felt quite distressed over the energy crystal stone in his hand.
Energy crystal stones are very rare, even binding once for three thousand points, a hundred players mean three hundred thousand points, which can't compare to the value of two energy crystal stones.
Azure Sky.
As a large number of players entered this moving city, they tacitly dispersed to conduct their respective explorations.
"Sister Xiaoyuan, how should we explore?" A girl with bright eyes and twin ponytails, who had reached the advanced apprentice level, couldn't help but ask, looking at the members of various race factions on the street, "This place is so big, and with so many other gang members scouring the place, it's going to be difficult to collect good stuff while avoiding them."
Xiaoyuan Crazed, as a strategy group expert, in order to create better guides to help new players, specifically found a pure newbie girl to join.
With the current limited-time event, Xiaoyuan Crazed intended to act with this girl called Firefly Emperor. This would make the guide more authentic and convincing.
"How do you usually play exploration games?" Xiaoyuan Crazed asked Firefly Emperor out of curiosity.
"Me?" Firefly Emperor thought for a moment and said, "I just wander around, take pictures if the scenery is good, and pick up anything nice I see."
"Okay, I see, you're indeed a true newbie." Xiaoyuan Crazed paused and said, "Now I'll teach you how to play exploration games, and also, give everyone else a quick tutorial."
"In any exploration game, the developers will hide treasures in unknown corners and crannies, where enemy traffic is common, so for newcomers to become strong, they cannot overlook any place or enemy. Usually, where there are enemies, there are treasures."
"Furthermore, the enemies in treasure places tend to drop good items, so none of these enemies should be overlooked. Clear them all out."
"However, the game map is too large this time. It's impossible to explore everything one by one. To be efficient, we need to focus on areas dense with enemies. So what we need to do next is clear out enemies in those areas, then quickly explore the region, progressing towards the center following the route."
"Got it?"
"I got it!" Firefly Emperor nodded her little head, "We just need to eliminate all these enemies to find valuable treasures. We can just clear them from the map without specifically searching for treasures elsewhere."
"Exactly!" Xiaoyuan Crazed nodded, feeling the child could be taught, "Alright, let's start!"
