Only players who had been to the Quicksand Rift would know that it wasn't as simple as a rift valley.
In addition to the large rift valley in the middle, there were three medium-sized rifts and dozens of small rifts around the quicksand desert area.
More than ten years ago, the catastrophe happened in the middle of the rift valley. However, the quicksand around it was connected. Today, more than ten years later, the treasures that fell in the middle rift valley not only appeared in the rift valley, but also in the small and medium-sized rifts around it.
However, the middle rift valley was still the place with the most treasures. The smaller rifts around it had much less treasures.
In a small rift valley near the edge, a team of players was looking around.
The six of them were from Ancient and Modern. They were Chen Mo's friends and classmates. The leaders were Gu Feixing and Luo Hua.
"I wonder how our class monitor is doing overseas."
Gu Feixing looked around the sparse grass, trying to find a herb called the Carrion Flower. The Carrion Flower was the main ingredient for making Intermediate Corrosive Potions. It was very rare and could be found occasionally near the Quicksand Rift Valley.
"Who knows," Luo Hua replied absent-mindedly.
After Willow transferred overseas, even if she still played the game, she could not use her China server's character.
Genesis was operated using the virtual network. Currently, the virtual network of each country was not completely connected. Players could not enter their country's game from overseas. Once they were overseas, they could only apply to transfer their characters to a foreign server.
However, if they transferred their characters now, the amount of gold and equipment they could carry would be limited. If they exceeded a certain value, they would be subject to strict checks.
After Willow went overseas to study, her character was also transferred overseas. She had long lost contact with Gu Feixing and Luo Hua.
Looking at the absent-minded Luo Hua, Gu Feixing sighed. He felt that Ancient and Modern was about to be finished.
In the past, when Willow was still around, Willow was very dedicated to the guild, and Luo Hua was the same. Now that Willow had changed servers, Luo Hua was obviously no longer interested in the guild. Sinal Ancient and Modern, which was originally very united, was not really that united. Without someone with leadership ability to organize, the people in the guild began to play on their own. As a result, there were quite a few people who left the guild and joined guilds with better prospects.
It wasn't Gu Feixing's first time playing online games, so he wasn't surprised.
"Sandworm!"
The sand in front of them suddenly wriggled, and a white, fat worm crawled out. Gu Feixing and the others' eyes lit up when they saw it.
Sha Zhong was a Level 32 monster. It only had one skill: Spitting Venom. Once it hit a player, the player would be petrified for 3 seconds.
This monster would not drop any equipment, but there was a chance of obtaining something good if one used the Gather skill.
Legend had it that the reason why the Quicksand Rift was so popular was because someone had dug out the best equipment from the corpses of the sandworms.
"Damn, someone's coming. Let's quickly kill this sandworm." An Archer student at the back looked into the distance and saw three figures in the distance.
"Let's do it." Luo Hua's spirits were lifted when she saw the sandworms.
The six players were all Level 29 or 30, and the Sandworms were easy to kill. Although the three players in front of them moved a little fast, the six players had already killed the Sandworms before they could get close.
"Heh, I got a Level 30 Blue grade staff!"
Gu Feixing said happily after using the Gather skill.
However, his happiness did not last long. He saw the three players walk up to the six players and look them up and down.
"You're Silent Friends?"
The leading Assassin looked at the six players and suddenly asked.
Chen Mo?
Gu Feixing and the others looked at each other. Strictly speaking, they were not familiar with Chen Mo, but Gu Feixing still said, "Yes, we're his classmates. Why are you looking for him?"
"That's good. My name is Ghost Song. I'm from Hunter 72 Hours."
The leading Assassin took the initiative to report his name. He was actually Ghost Song, whom Chen Mo had met once in the Great Tree Maze.
Hunter 72 Hours?
Gu Feixing was shocked!
He had seen this name on the forums before. It was an assassination organization that appeared after a large number of players reached Level 30. As long as you paid, they would hunt down your enemies. It was said that as long as you provided the information of the person you wanted to kill, they could guarantee that they would complete the mission within 72 hours. Moreover, Hunter 72 Hours would proudly announce their background before they killed someone. Some people on the forums speculated that they were doing this to increase their reputation and attract business.
After all, they were paid to do things for others and were not afraid of others finding out.
"Why are you looking for us?" Gu Feixing asked Ghost Song warily after telling Luo Hua and the others about his background.
"Someone wants to kill Silent Friends, but they can't find him. They can only kill you to vent their anger, so don't blame us," Ghost Song said calmly.
As he spoke, one of the mages behind Ghost Song raised his staff and took the initiative to attack.
"We have more people. Don't be afraid. Kill!"
Luo Hua and Gu Feixing led the charge toward Ghost Song.
However, as soon as their feet moved, they suddenly felt that something had reached out from under the sand, causing them to be unable to move!
Looking down, Gu Feixing and the others were shocked to find White Bone Claws reaching out from under the sand and grabbing their ankles!
Swoosh!
Ghost Song moved and suddenly appeared behind Luo Hua.
A series of skills flew out like flowing water. Before the White Bone Claws disappeared, Luo Hua was killed by Ghost Song.
It was the same for Gu Feixing. Ghost Song's other companion was a violent archer. At such a close distance, his bow and arrow were extraordinarily powerful. It only took one critical hit to kill Gu Feixing.
With Luo Hua and Gu Feixing dead, the remaining four were no match for Ghost Song and the others.
Although the White Bone Claw under their feet had disappeared, Ghost Song and the other two were all first-rate experts. Ghost Song's movements were like a ghost, and his attacks were impossible to guard against. The Archer's arrows were all accurate and powerful. The Mage who used White Bone Claw first was clearly a Mage, but he summoned a huge skeleton.
The remaining four had no chance to fight back and were killed by Ghost Song and the others.
After picking up the items dropped by the six, Ghost Song and the others left.
Luo Hua, Gu Feixing, and the others revived in Eastsea Citadel. They were all depressed.
"That guy, what did he do to provoke them to hire assassins to kill us!" Luo Hua was furious. It was hard for him not to be angry when he was implicated by Chen Mo.
"What should we do? Those guys are too strong. If we go out and get found by them, we'll still be killed," a male classmate said gloomily.
"Go find Chen Mo. There's no reason for us to bear the consequences of what he did." Another person pouted.
"I'll go find him!" Luo Hua had the same idea. He immediately went offline and called Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was currently rushing towards the Quicksand Rift Valley and had already entered the range of the Quicksand Rift Valley. When he received the notification that he had a call, he immediately went offline to answer the call.
"What did you do?" Luo Hua asked coldly when the call went through.
"What happened?" Chen Mo frowned. He did not have a good impression of Luo Hua.
"Don't play dumb!
You know very well what you've done!
Someone hired Hunter's 72 Hours to kill you. Since they couldn't kill you, they targeted us!
Just now, Gu Feixing and I were killed by a few assassins! "Luo Hua said hatefully.
"There's such a thing?"
Chen Mo was startled, and he frowned.
Hunter's 72 Hours. He had seen this assassination organization on the forums before. Recently, they had been a hot topic on the forums.
They had killed a lot of people recently, but not all of them were very strong. Their strength seemed to be uneven. Some were very strong, but there were also people who were not very strong.
"Do you think I'd lie to you?" Luo Hua said coldly.
Chen Mo didn't think that Luo Hua would lie to him about this matter. Knowing that the six of them had been implicated by him, Chen Mo inquired about it in detail. Then, to his surprise, he discovered that the expert assassin, Ghost Song, was also a member of Hunter 72 Hours.
With this guy in the organization, it was no wonder that Luo Hua and the others could not fight back.
"Don't worry, I'll avenge you. They won't find trouble with you soon," Chen Mo said with a plan in mind.
"Avenge?
How are you going to avenge them?
Don't make it sound so nice! "Luo Hua mocked.
Chen Mo ignored Luo Hua and returned to the game.
"Who could it be?
The Bloodbath Guild is still a discontinued guild. Maybe Four Seas Guild too.
Damn, I really can't guess. "
As Chen Mo hurried back, he thought about who would spend so much money to hire Hunter's 72 Hours to find trouble with him.
He couldn't think of anyone, but what Chen Mo found most strange was how Ghost Song and the others found Luo Hua and Gu Feixing.
He had only interacted with Gu Feixing and the others twice, and each time was very short. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Hunter's 72 Hours to find out.
However, Chen Mo could not be sure. After all, Beautiful Paper Harrier and the others from Beautiful Mood Guild had seen it with their own eyes in the Sunken Ship.
However, no matter who it was, since they dared to find trouble with him, they had to be prepared for his revenge!
He could not do anything to high-level NPCs like Joanna, but Chen Mo was not afraid of players.
Half an hour later, Chen Mo arrived at the place where Gu Feixing and Luo Hua were killed. He then continued north.
From Luo Hua's words, Chen Mo found out that there was another team of Chinese students near the Quicksand Rift Valley. Since Ghost Song had found Luo Hua and the others, the other team would not be spared either.
Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to track down Ghost Song and the others. However, after killing Luo Hua and the others, Ghost Song's name was red.
With a red name, he could easily find out Ghost Song's approximate location using the Executor's Book that he had just obtained.
…
The first part was even worse.
Cough, I'm late to update. The aftereffects of the explosion …
