This is not an MMO game copy

But now that I have entered the side door, how can I still dream of taking the right path?

Since the soul-infusing technique is performed, it is equivalent to shaping, firing and coloring the "clay", and finally creating a piece of ceramics.

As long as the appearance is acceptable, it doesn’t matter what the inner qualities are!

"The Scale-Traveling Machine Hub..."

Xia Yan murmured about the automatic defense machines entrenched in the ruins throughout Chengxiao Mountain.

In the game, it is a type of Giant Wave-class afterimage, and will also drop the corresponding sound corpse, but in the setting, it is just a mechanical device made using the [Dragon Scale] of the Year Lord's 'Horn'.

But apart from the deformable shell of the swimming scale mechanism, its core should be the [dragon scales] of the 'horn' of the Year Lord... Strictly speaking, the so-called Year Lord is actually a different kind of residual image.

According to the system characteristics of the MMO on him, if the Youlin Jishu is killed, it is very likely that the remnant of the Youlin Jishu, or the remnant of the [Dragon Scale], will really explode.

The [Dragon Scale] is set to be the defense module of the main body's "horn" surface.

Therefore, since it was impossible to make a fine work of art out of "clay", Xia Yan thought about giving the flying sword's spirit a "shell" that could be called a work of art, in order to cover up the dregs underneath and make it at least look like a work of art.

Perhaps this cannot truly change the nature of this unconventional flying sword.

But it can be considered as a reinforcement of it.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan gave up the idea of ​​looking for trouble with the light-walking beast wandering on the Gap Light Beach, and instead prepared to look for the Youlin Machine Hub in the ruins scattered throughout Chengxiao Mountain.

Even the red-named monster he had seen in the canyon below the Coiling Dragon Cliff, the 'Great Perfection of the Great Wave Peak, Half-Step Raging Wave Level'—

——The plus version of the Giant Wave-class Swimming Scale Mechanism: Heart-Protecting Scale.

(PS: A little explanation as to why Xia Yan was so anxious - first of all, from his perspective, he was suddenly forced to leave the dungeon, and many days had passed. In his eyes, he had lost contact with his original world and disappeared for several days, so he was naturally anxious... In addition, as mentioned in this chapter, because some high-dimensional beings were hidden in the world of this dungeon, he had not slept at all, and had to rely on meditation and breathing to endure to avoid being exposed... By the way, this flying sword is for emergency use, not his lifeblood)

First instance: 12. A Three-Day Separation (4k+)

The clear blue sky and the white-capped mountains.

If you ignore the afterimages all over the mountains and the bitterly cold environment, Chengxiao Mountain is undoubtedly a beautiful 3A-level tourist attraction on this real planet Solaris.

Even though the climate is extremely cold all year round, strictly speaking it is not a big problem, the remnant creatures that are everywhere in the mountains make this area more dangerous than a modern battlefield.

But compared with other areas of the planet Solaris, even the Yuanniao Marsh, which is also within the current state and is only separated by a sea, the remnants of Mount Chengxiao are already very low in terms of quantity, quality, and density.

In this post-apocalyptic world, if you don't have enough martial virtue and skills, you won't even be qualified to travel.

After all, the conditions for the birth of Light Wave and Giant Wave afterimages are not harsh, but even the weakest Light Wave can kill ordinary people holding guns.

The Julang-class destroyer requires heavy firepower weapons to cause effective damage.

In the real world on Earth, if you want to go on a solo trip with a Minimi M249 light machine gun, a Maxim machine gun, a Gatling machine gun, and a grenade launcher and an anti-tank rocket launcher in the trunk, the only possible destination is a battlefield in a modern war.

The person who went on the trip was probably a mercenary.

But in this world it is almost the norm.

Now that he has refined a side-door flying sword, Xia Yan finally has the qualifications to travel alone and tour this world.

He flew on his sword to a height of thousands of meters, facing the howling gale, flew over the vast snowfield below, and looked at the towering Panlong Cliff in front of him, a mountain that looked like a dragon's head.

Although he had tried flying with the sword after refining it yesterday, he had also successfully tested the sword with a pair of giant wave-level residual elephants, the blue-winged heron and the purple-winged heron, who were not present in person.

However, today, as he flew into the sky again on his sword, soaring under the blue sky and white clouds, overlooking the beautiful mountains and rivers of Chengxiao Mountain, he still felt an indescribable joy.

It seemed as if endless passion and ambition filled my chest.

It made him want to roar to the sky.

Just like the protagonist or some master in many fantasy novels.

He announced his arrival with a roar that echoed between heaven and earth.

But Xia Yan still suppressed the urge to shout loudly to vent the surging emotions in his heart.

The main reason was that he felt that doing so was a bit too childish.

Even if there was no one else around him now, Xia Yan couldn't shamelessly learn the ways used in novels to express lofty ambitions.

So, after a moment of private embarrassment, Xia Yan flew on his sword towards the Dragon Head Peak on Panlong Cliff.

Eleven days ago, he came down the mountain from that place, using his lightness skills to run for his life, crossing the snowfield on the mountain ridge, and was chased all the way by an unknown number of Light Wave and Giant Wave class remnants.

He is like Lü Meng of Jiangdong, who was treated with new eyes after three days of absence, and like Xiang Yu, who refused to return to his hometown despite his wealth and status, and returned to his hometown in the night with a splendid robe, flying on a sword as a sword immortal.

In contrast to the embarrassing escape to Hong Town from here that day.

Simply incomparable.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan flew to the easternmost part of Chengxiao Mountain on his sword. He looked at the scenery that he saw when he was thrown into this world and woke up for the first time, as well as the plank road nestled against the red rock wall. His heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Then, he began to dive down, the flying sword under his feet dragging a rainbow trail, carrying him quickly across the suspended plank road that took him more than half an hour to walk that day, and flew into the valley where a large number of fireflies were infested.

Finally, we crossed the valley and returned to the cliff canyon below Panlong Cliff, and once again saw the open space that was larger than a large stadium and was suspected to be on the top of an underground site.

And, located in the very center of this open space, who had forced him to go to great lengths to take a detour, was one of the local 'Giant Wave Peak Great Perfection Half-Step Raging Wave Level' masters of Chengxiao Mountain, the plus version of the Giant Wave Level Youlin Jishu - Jishu Heart Protecting Scale.

It's pretty much the same as the image in the game.

An anti-gravity suspended machine, its shape is a metal core inlaid with a blue gem, wrapped in a triangular prism-shaped transparent crystal, and the surface of the transparent crystal is surrounded by dozens of metal scales. But whether it is the internal metal core, the triangular prism-shaped transparent crystal, or the dozens of metal scales on the outside, they are rotating automatically all the time.

Moreover, along with the automatic rotation of this strange machine, a visible cold current surrounded it, forming a small frost whirlwind.

Every swimming scale mechanism basically looks like this.

However, as the plus version of the Youlin Jishu, one of the local 'Giant Wave Peak Great Perfection Half-Step Raging Wave Level' masters in Chengxiao Mountain, Jishu Heart Protecting Scale, compared to the ordinary Youlin Jishu, has an extra dark red glow in the triangular prism-shaped transparent crystal that wraps the core and some metal scales.

This is also the symbol of red-name monsters in the Mingchao game.

However, compared to the inexplicable coincidences between the real world and the game, Xia Yan was more concerned about the fact that this red-named monster was not killed by the Emperor of Jinzhou.

After all, he had been in this "copy" world for eleven days and had stayed in Hong Town for so long, but he had never met the wanderer once, and he didn't know where the Emperor of the Daming Dynasty had gone.

But considering the character's behavioral logic in reality, Xia Yan guessed that if the other party did not cross the sea to return to Yuanniaoze, he would probably be looking for the bad luck of the terrorists who would stay in Chengxiao Mountain while looking for Canxing.

In the game, the Youlin Jishu is an automatic defense machine built using the dragon scales of the year master "Jiao". Its main job is to eliminate all outsiders who trespass into the restricted area and may threaten "Jiao" when "Jiao" returns to the Mianlong Court in Chengxiao Mountain to recuperate.

At the same time, the Lord of the Year 'Horn' was created by that wanderer who knows how many years ago. Whether it is the ability to control the time sequence of time and space like a god, or everything he knows, it all comes from the ridicule of the second traveler Long Aotian, the well-deserved Emperor Jinzhou.

Therefore, it is understandable that the Youlin Machine Hub distributed in the Jiting Ruins would take the initiative to attack the protagonist before meeting "Jiao" again, but after the end of the Chengxiao Mountain 1.1 plot, this group of automatic defense machines should not attack the boss's boss again.

What's more, the entire Jiting ruins in Chengxiao Mountain might be someone's property from who knows how many years ago. A mere group of automatic security measures can't really cause a rebellion after the owner returns home to verify the ownership of the property.

Now I see Jishu Heart Protector Scale appearing before me intact.

Xia Yan was not too surprised.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for him.

Then, Xia Yan lowered his flying sword and landed at the broken end of the plank road that day. He stared at Jishu·Huxinlin, recalled the various attack modes of Youlin Jishu in the game, and expanded his associations based on his impressions in the game until he felt that he was completely prepared.

He took a step forward.

Using his Qinggong skills, Xia Yan seemed to be surrounded by a tangible airflow, allowing him to lightly jump off the broken section of the plank road.

Then, he stepped into this open space which was wider than a large stadium and was suspected to be on the top of an underground ruin, and walked step by step towards Jishu Huxinlin.

"——"

Unlike the last time, after jumping off the broken plank road, he carefully moved close to the edge of the cliff, and used the fireflies to dig the soil on the cliff as a springboard to go around.

This time, after walking straight forward, Xia Yan quickly noticed that the dozens of metal scales outside the automatic machine located in the center of the open space, which were originally rotating automatically all the time, suddenly stopped without any warning.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of metal scales of different sizes quickly dispersed and gathered on the left and right sides of the triangular prismatic transparent crystal. At the same time, translucent prismatic crystals condensed out of thin air and together with the metal scales formed a pair of wing-like structures.

In Mingchao's game, this is one of Youlin Jishu's standby actions as a wild monster, but in this real world, this action obviously has a special meaning.

Xia Yan didn't know why Jishu Huxinlin, the plus version of Youlin Jishu, made this move.

Is it just a warning?

still is……

Xia Yan didn't think much about it, because the next moment he saw Ji Shu Hu Xin Lin walking towards him, he reacted.

He chose to strike first.

Clang——!

The sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed echoed outside.

Then a flash of green rainbow came out across.

【Guanhong】

Jian Qingyun's core skills, whether in PVP or PVE, are the first-hand skills that players who control Jian Qingyun generally choose to use because they can be refreshed and cooled by other skills, and can also perform a certain displacement to shorten the distance.

At this moment, Xia Yan made the same choice.

And with the amplification brought by the flying sword.

The Guanhong Sword Technique really turned into a long rainbow.

step.

Guanhong.

In the time it takes an average person to take a step forward.

Xia Yan turned into a green rainbow, with the sharp blade in his hand wrapped in sharp sword energy. He controlled the green sword light and came in front of Ji Shu·Hu Xin Lin and stabbed him with a sword.

Even if there was an Arrow Bear in front of him, which was known for its thick skin and flesh among the Giant Wave-class aftermath, he had the confidence to pierce it with one sword.

Xia Yan didn't know what level of resonance he was in Mingchao's worldview, as he had a flying sword from an unconventional sect in his hand and was gradually able to exert more power from the cultivation and skills instilled by the system.

But ordinary giant wave-level afterimages are definitely no match for him now.

For example; yesterday at the Gaplight Beach, the blue-winged heron and the purple-winged heron were the first batch of sacrifices after he refined the flying sword.

Xia Yan is not sure whether he can match the Raging Tide-class Remnant Elephant, but there is no problem in killing the Giant Wave-class Remnant Elephant.

However, as one of the red-named monsters in the game's Chengxiao Mountain, it is very likely that it is also the system center of all the floating scales and mechanical hubs in the real world's Chengxiao Mountain. It is even the mechanical hub and heart-protecting scale made from the reverse scales that fell off the "horn" of the year master. It is obviously not an ordinary giant wave-level afterimage.

When the rainbow sword light was about to touch the surface of its body, it appeared as a protective barrier with a scaly structure that looked like triangular prism-shaped transparent crystals.

Jishu·Heart-Protecting Scale disappeared in an instant.

Guan Hong's sword suddenly lost its target and fell into the air.

At the same time, Xia Yan, who was fully utilizing the Tai Chi energy and magic power in his body and whose senses had been greatly enhanced, suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him.

Then, his pupils shrank, his mind moved, and he used the sword-controlling technique to guide the flying sword in his hand, which in turn moved his body. He turned around and spun 360 degrees, sweeping out a green sword light.

【Demon-Suppressing Sword Aura】

This is a skill that Jian Qingyun selected from the talent tree. Its effect is to immediately knock away surrounding enemies and refresh the cooldown of [Guanhong] at the same time. After being converted into a sword technique for cultivating immortality by the system, this sword technique is also mainly defensive, turning the sword light and sword energy into a substantial body-protecting force, supplemented by the meaning of "suppressing demons" to guard itself in all directions.

With a clang.

The two scale knives cut at an interlaced angle chopped onto the sword energy swept out by Xia Yan, causing a loud noise.

Xia Yan only felt his sword-holding hand go numb, and a huge force was transmitted along the blade, which almost made him fly backwards.

But as the Tai Chi energy circulated in his body, this huge force was immediately dissipated by his magic power.

But this was not the end. Jishu Heart Protector Scale moved instantly behind Xia Yan and decomposed the metal scales and prismatic ice crystal structures that made up the two scale knives at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye. With the core wrapped in the scaly structure protective barrier as the center, it constructed a ten-meter-long crystalline giant sword in the blink of an eye and swung it down with great force.

boom--!

The air was torn apart with a roar. Under the slashing of the giant sword constructed by Jishu·Heart Scale, in the real world without the game numerical calculation mechanism, even large or super-large giant wave-level afterimages such as Arrow Bear, Stone Guardian, Abyss Guardian, etc. would be chopped into pieces by a single blow.

However, just after the giant crystalline sword fell, Xia Yan swung his backhand and slashed horizontally. A ray of sword light slashed the giant sword. The burst of sword energy used this as a leverage point and used the reaction force to push himself backwards into the sky.

[Sword in the air]

Jian Qingyun's skill of breaking control, contact control and forced jump back, can also refresh the cooldown of [Guanhong] once. After being transformed into a sword technique of immortal cultivation, it has a similar effect, using magic power to break through the restraints outside the body, and at the same time using sword energy to shock oneself back. However, it can not only break control, but also be used to parry and offset external attacks.

After using the force to leap into the air, Xia Yan used the sword-controlling technique to let the flying sword carry him and fly straight upwards.

Afterwards, he turned around and looked down from above, reorganizing the metal scales again and constructing four floating units around him that looked like the magic weapon called the Sound Sensor in the Mingchao game. Then he turned the four floating units towards the sky and began to accumulate the light golden energy light of the Heart-Protecting Scale in them.

Xia Yan placed the flying sword in front of him, pinched his sword fingers together and circulated the Tai Chi energy. Then a green formation diagram unfolded outward with him as the center, and dozens of green sword shadows condensed out of thin air and surrounded him.

"Nine Heaven Swords fall, cleansing the universe, thousands of blades open—"

【Thousands of Swordsmen of the Universe】

next moment.

The accumulated light golden energy transformed into four shining beams of light and shot into the sky.
