Chapter 69: Camp Leaders

Everyone knows about the death of an adventurer. On the official forum, the heat of Zhang Ran's post is only second to the alpha 0.3 version announcement, and higher than the recruitment activity for life occupational players.
Everyone is discussing the scene he saw before he died and analyzing it.
"I warned you all before not to wander too far from the camp. Your current strength as novices is too weak to battle powerful monsters," Zhang Ran said. "That adventurer called 'Don't Know Why' actually went alone to explore the military zone and ended up dying. He was playing with his own life and the safety of the camp. If he attracts demons, who will be responsible?!"
The players look at each other and see that the manager seems very angry!
That player with the ID "Don't Know Why" probably just lost some favorability points. Given the situation, it's possible that they might be thrown into the "little black room."
"I was very disappointed with the last poisoning incident and this incident of sending people to their death. Especially this time, when everyone's safety was put at risk, the nature of it is terrible. I hope that this kind of stupidity will not happen again in the future." Zhang Ran snorted, "If anyone else doesn't listen, they will be permanently expelled from the camp."
Actually, even if he didn't repeatedly remind us, everyone was very careful. The death penalty in this game is exceptionally severe, especially in the crucial early stage. Nobody wants to be unable to log in for a week. If things go wrong, the reputation of the camp and the NPC's goodwill may also decrease significantly.
It's really not worth it, the loss is heavy.
Even if curious about the military area situation, no one really wants to take a look.
But asking a question to satisfy curiosity is no problem.
"Um... Your Majesty, are the demons in the Central Area and Military District very strong?" asked Mu Bai.
"Very strong, it's not something you rookies can handle."
"What's in the military zone?" Zhao Daoguang asked, having also seen Zhang Ran's post.
If it hadn't been too abrupt to bring up the demon corpse directly, he would have asked right away.
"There's a demon camp, where demons are using the corpse of an abyss lord as energy to summon imp demons from the void. You can see it if you go to the mine cave."
Demon's camp, Abyss Lord...
The players were once again shocked, and then immediately excited. They originally thought that the NPC would not answer this question, but they did not expect to be told this important information.
It sounds very impressive!
From insignificant little monsters like imps, gnolls, and murlocs, to powerful creatures like abyssal lords.
After attacking the murloc village, are we going to the demon camp next?
When players heard that they can see the devil's campsite from the mine shaft, they can no longer contain their excitement and eagerly request to go mining immediately with high enthusiasm.
In addition to wanting to see the Abyssal Lord and the devil's campsite, they are also particularly interested in the new map.
"I'll take you to see and learn something, but you have to follow my commands and not wander around aimlessly."
More than 20 minutes later, when Zhang Ran led the players to the mine, the group once again exclaimed uncontrollably.
They have already seen a lot on this journey, and they didn't expect the game map to be so large.
Not only Blackrock City, but also the mountains and forests outside the city, which are endless at first glance. The key is that each place is extremely well-made, exactly like a real otherworld.
These are already surprising enough, but when the players could see the corpse of the Abyss Lord in the military area far away, which was like a small mountain, they were all stunned and speechless, looking at the huge creature in disbelief.
Just staring at it can bring fear from the depths of one's heart. Thinking about fighting against this monster in the future caused players to tremble with excitement.
No one is afraid, only shocked.
There is also curiosity, what kind of equipment can be obtained by defeating this kind of monster?
Hurry up and upgrade to go fight monsters!
At this time, except for a few people, all the players in the camp came to this mine.
Zhang Ran instructed a few words and followed the extremely excited players into it.
"Adventurers who want to mine should not go deep into the mine, stay near the entrance, and retreat immediately when they see the Kobolds. 15 pieces of ore are enough to fill a minecart, and once it’s full, wait for me to come back to check it,” Zhang Ran said. “Players who want to fight Kobolds with me can come in, but the minimum level must be level 2. The Kobolds are stronger than you are now, so I will fight with you this time."
According to Remi, there should be a small tribe of Kobolds inside this mine.
In order to facilitate future mining, Zhang Ran plans to go in with the players to clear them out.
Kobolds are also social creatures, the main reason he didn't venture deeper last time was because he was afraid of encountering a group and fighting alone. Now, with players in front, it's better than before.
Zhang Ran thought that currently only Wang Yiming, Zhao Daoguang, and Mu Bai were able to fight against the dog-headed people as a team of three. Unexpectedly, four more players have reached level 2, namely Xiao Man, Apple Cow, I Want to Hibernate, and Little Seven.
其中，小柒是昨天才登入游戏的新玩家，这速度可以啊！
小满、苹果牛、我想冬眠还好说，已经玩了两天，他们2个战士、1个游戏，力量普遍较高，杀怪速度很快。
Little Qiqi, with her long legs, doesn't seem very strong. She probably hasn't hesitated to take items from other players' missions.
Not only does she look good, but she also has money!
Zhang Ran imagined the specific situation, realizing that Lei Mi is in charge of the quest handover and item trading these days, so he is aware of the situation, but he has no plans to investigate further.
Anyway, all the task items have already been picked up and bound, so players can't level up by collecting them anymore.
By the way, those two guys, Li Ze and Nan Qiang, are also level 2, but they didn't come with us. They're still in the city fighting rats.
"You guys go ahead." Zhang Ran looked at the 7 people and said, "Be careful, the level of the kobolds is between 3-4, they don’t have any particularly strong skills, but they won’t run away after being attacked. Their attack power and speed greatly increase when their health drops to a certain level and they enter a berserk state. We have more people, so there should be no problem under normal circumstances. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I won't take action."
The players nodded and gathered together to discuss for a while before entering the mine.
In fact, the fact that Zhang Ran followed them was already enough to excite several players. Having an NPC to assist with leveling up was a treatment they had never experienced before!
With the NPCs leading the way, what do we have to fear? It's like harvesting experience.
Didn't you see the obvious skull icon?! That's the symbol of the faction leader. It must be a really high level to have that.
A few goblins...
Trash mobs, no problem.
Charge in and kick their butts!
What, you want tactics? Of course it's just blindly charging in and attacking the enemy crystal.
