The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

Let's turn back time a little bit.

After breaking away from the main group of players grinding levels, Tenka Fubu continued to explore deeper into the stream.

Areas with abundant water resources, such as those along streams, easily attract living creatures, which is why Tianxia Buwu frequently finds some excrement.

However, even with his extensive experience in wilderness survival, he still couldn't identify what animal left the droppings, so he couldn't conduct a targeted search.

To avoid wandering around like a headless fly, he chose a giant, ancient tree that was over ten zhang tall, climbed to the top of the tree, and looked out at the green ocean where the players were.

In fact, this is the first time players have observed the game world from such a high vantage point.

The unparalleled and magnificent scene before him left him speechless for a long time.

Unlike the small village deep in the mountains that I had imagined, this was clearly a primitive and wild world.

In the distance, shrouded in clouds, the outline of the mountains stretches endlessly, and the boundless forest seems to connect to the horizon. Among them, a great river, formed by the confluence of countless tributaries, meanders and winds, its widest point probably stretching for dozens of miles.

The lush greenery extends to every corner of the field of vision, so vast that one doubts that even a lifetime would not be enough to traverse this wild and ancient forest.

Faintly, one could hear the low roars of beasts carried on the wind, a reminder that countless dangers still lurked within this green landscape.

Tenka Fubu took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and let out a long roar that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.

"Cool!!!"

Such a wondrous sight, being in it, brought him an indescribable sense of exhilaration, making him tremble with excitement.

But before he could calm down...

huh~

A black arrow suddenly ripped through the air, its sharpness sending chills down his spine, hurtling straight toward his face.

Fortunately, the black arrow wasn't flying very fast, giving him some time to react.

Tianxia Buwu suddenly leaned back, narrowly avoiding being shot in the head.

However, since he was at the top of the tree, such a large movement naturally resulted in him falling from the tree.

The tree branches cushioned his fall, so he wasn't seriously injured, but he couldn't pretend nothing had happened. He quickly got up and ran in the direction the black arrow had come from.

He smashed through the vegetation blocking his path, and after running like this for several minutes, the view suddenly opened up before him.

He then suddenly noticed that the trees in the area had become somewhat sparse, and there were exposed rocks in the soil between the trees, which was quite strange.

Of course, even stranger than the environment are the strange species in the forest.

The other party's head looked like a tiger or a wolf, and they walked upright. Their height was generally over two meters.

Yes, the species that Tenka Fubu sees before him is not a single one, but a group.

Their limbs are covered in black scales, exuding a ferocious and violent aura. Most terrifyingly, they also wield weapons.

By examining the longbow tightly held in one of the hands, Tenka Fubu deduced the origin of the previous arrow.

Without a doubt, if he saw such a monster in real life, he would turn around and run away without saying a word.

The problem is that, in his eyes, these are just monsters in a game, and even if the monsters look strange, he is not afraid of them.

On the contrary, the enhanced physical abilities he gained from the upgrade made him eager to try them out.

The tiger-wolf people opposite seemed not to have expected that Tianxia Buwu would deliver himself to their doorstep. They exchanged glances and silently reached a consensus.

One of the tiger-wolf men, wielding a bloodstained bone knife, had a fierce glint in its dark eyes. The next second, it pounced on Tianxia Buyu like a hungry tiger, raising its bone knife high as if to cleave him in two.

"!"

Tianxia Buwu's pupils suddenly contracted. He had never expected his opponent to be so fast. Let alone retaliating, even dodging would be difficult.

He pushed off with his right leg and barely managed to move sideways in an attempt to create distance.

Although he dodged the fatal blow, he was still struck by the tiger-werewolf's follow-up whip kick, sending him flying and crashing into a tree trunk, shaking down a large number of leaves.

Tianxia Buyu shakily got up, the tearing sensation in his ribs making him know clearly that he had broken a bone, but he didn't know exactly how serious it was.

After taking a few quick breaths, he found that there was no effect on restoring his health. His body still felt like it was falling apart, and he couldn't even stand up steadily. Tianxia Buwu couldn't help but show a bitter smile.

Reducing pain in games is certainly a good thing, but is it really necessary to make injuries so realistic?

If getting injured results in a realistic loss of combat ability, then the game's combat difficulty is a bit too high.

He's already thinking about his "next life" before he even sets out to conquer the world, so as for the present...

He looked at the werewolf-tiger who had come up in front of him: "I'll remember you. Wash your neck clean and wait."

However, these tiger-wolf men clearly didn't understand a single word of his harsh words.

Without hesitation, the tiger-wolf standing in front of him aimed at his neck and brought the knife down.

but,

The death that Tenka Fubu had anticipated did not come; instead, he felt a strong gust of wind sweep past him.

Bang!

A dull thud, like the rumble of thunder.

The tiger-wolf in front of them was sent flying backward like a cannonball, cutting down trees that were as thick as a single person's embrace.

All that remained before Tianxia Buwu was a lone, imposing figure standing against the wind, his animal-skin vest fluttering in the breeze. In this scene, he felt a strong sense of security.

He doesn't have face blindness, and he immediately recognized Jiang Chen by his profile as the dejected NPC sitting in the corner of the starting village.

That's why he found it hard to believe.

The contrast is too strong.

It's like your roommate who's always picking their toes suddenly showing up in front of you in a suit and tie, driving a Lamborghini.

The person is still the same, but the overall temperament is completely different.

Jiang Chen turned slightly to the side, his tone seemingly tinged with helplessness: "They are not people you can handle right now."

He could tell that these tiger-wolf people possessed powerful blood and qi, and had generally condensed more than twelve strands of blood qi.

Let alone the fact that Tianxia Buwu is still a long way from reaching level four, even if he does reach level four, he is still far from being a match for the Ten-Headed Tiger-Wolf.

Any random werewolf could probably wipe out all the current players.

Of course, he could do what he did to Brother Niu and the others before: pretend he knew nothing and let Tianxia Buwu be killed.

However, the combat skills displayed by the player in the game made him feel it was a pity that this player died.

Exerting a slight influence to create a benchmark of combat power among players, with a leader to help the player group grow stronger faster, seems like a good idea.

"roar!"

On the other side, watching their companion die, the remaining nine-headed werewolves roared in fury.

Jiang Chen turned his head, his expression calm and indifferent: "Let's be quiet for now."

The next second, one could vaguely sense an ancient and desolate aura rising around him, and then his figure moved like a ghost as he swiftly approached the tiger-wolf men.

Tianxia Buwu couldn't even see him throw a punch, and the tiger-wolf men fell one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the earth was stained with blood, and not a single tiger-wolf remained standing.

Throughout the entire process, he did it with even more ease than an adult hitting a child.
