Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#193 - Mirkwood

"Let's double-check all your supplies, food, water, weapon provisions, and everything."

"We already checked before you arrived~ Liang Yuejun!"

"Oh~ Then let's split into groups now~"

"We've already divided the groups too, Liang Yuejun. According to our own analysis, you are definitely the strongest among us, followed by Alwyn, Rachel, Nari Kori and Zijiang.

So our arrangement is that you, Liang Yuejun, will lead a team alone, and the team members will be Saya, Yuriko-neechan, and me, who are relatively weaker. Report complete, please advise!"

"... ... Hmm~ Not bad!"

... ...

Looking at the girls in front of him, who were already eager to try and constantly moving their hands and feet, Liang Yue also suddenly felt that he was a little redundant~

The 《Forest of Gent》 instance belongs to the DNF game world, so the rules for instances are basically the same as the game mode.

For example, each instance can only have a maximum of four people in a group.

For example, each instance is divided into three levels of difficulty: Normal, Warrior, and King.

In addition, the system here seems to have also customized a set of anti-addiction mechanisms for them.

That is, each person can only enter the instance a maximum of five times a day… …

Of course, the real-world instances are definitely different from the game, but the specific differences will have to be seen in the instance itself~

"Okay~ Since you are all prepared, then I won't talk nonsense. Now we will enter the instance, but we still need to pay attention. When you first enter, you can only choose the normal mode of the lowest-level instance.

Don't choose anything else. What we need now is just to adapt to the environment inside."

As he spoke, Liang Yue glanced at the girls in front of him, and then with a thought, he put on the set of armor that he had just taken off not long ago again.

"Now, Dark Forest, normal difficulty, let's go!"

After waving his hand at the crowd, this guy turned around and stepped into the water-like portal first.

The moment he stepped in, a light curtain suddenly appeared in front of Liang Yue and the others, with eight rectangular picture frames of instances arranged on it.

Seeing this, Liang Yue could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, and then gently clicked on the only lit picture on the light curtain in front of him, which had the face of a fierce minotaur on it.

"Swish~"

In an instant, everyone suddenly felt a whirl of heaven and earth, and their vision blurred.

It was as if an invisible vortex was opening its big mouth in the space in front, quickly sucking everyone in!

Afterwards, Liang Yue only felt a darkness in front of his eyes, but only for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he had already arrived in an unfamiliar place.

This was an exceptionally secluded forest, with unknown birds chirping all around. The trees here were exceptionally tall and straight, very similar to the Dark Forest in the Hobbit world.

Liang Yue looked up and saw that, with his eyesight, it was difficult to see the very top, where the branches and canopy were very lush, and the sunlight could not shine in.

However, precisely because of this situation, the environment on the ground was clear at a glance.

Apart from a shallow patch of short grass, and a few scattered rocks protruding from the ground, even a shrub was hard to find.

The air was filled with the fragrance of natural trees, which smelled very comfortable.

Continuing forward in the direction he was facing, not far in front of him, an iron archway covered in rust was located there. The interior of the archway was hollowed out, and many complex and obscure runes were engraved on it.

A faint blue halo was lighting up these runes.

According to the logic of the game, this door should be passable now… …

"This mode is a little bit formal~"

As he spoke, Liang Yue curled his lips and then stretched out his arms, taking a deep breath.

The internal energy that was originally quietly gathered in the dantian suddenly began to become active and restless. Just the introduction of a breath caused the internal energy that Liang Yue originally controlled as easily as his arms to produce a change.

If he hadn't been suppressing it all the time, I'm afraid his internal energy would have started to circulate on its own!

"It seems that the energy activity here is very high, much higher than the Hobbit world. But that's right, Arad Continent is originally a magical land.

With various systematic magic, divine arts, combat skills, martial arts, and even apostles from the demon world, how can the energy activity here not be high to support these magical existences!"

Thinking of this, Liang Yue's heart was filled with excitement.

At the same time, he secretly thought in his mind that it seems that he should spend more time in the instance in the future. Even if he doesn't go to fight monsters and level up, just cultivating here is definitely a good place!

After pondering for a while, he turned his head to look at the three girls behind him, who were now all equipped.

Teacher Shizuka was holding a large metal shield in her hand, wearing her rabbit reconnaissance hat, and also carrying a standard long sword at her waist.

However, for this silly and cute school doctor, that sword should only be an ornament, and the shield in her hand is her main body.

In comparison, the mother and daughter of the Takagi family appeared much more heroic. At this moment, one was holding a katana, and the other was drawing a bow and aiming an arrow.

After living and cultivating in the stronghold world for a period of time, the figures and physiques of the two have almost become completely consistent.

The full-coverage helmets covered the beautiful faces of the two, but through a section of the sight groove in front of the eyes, Liang Yue could still easily identify their identities.

Through their eyes at this moment, Liang Yue could also see that the mother and daughter seemed a little nervous now.

"Don't be afraid~ I'm here, let's go!"

As he spoke, Liang Yue turned his sleeves over, and two long swords were immediately held in his hands. Then, he led the three women forward unhurriedly,

Stepping through the iron archway, what appeared in front of them was a grassy and stony beach. The ground was slightly undulating, but it did not affect movement.

Surrounded by several large rocks, a semi-circular wooden shed was located there, and seven or eight green-skinned goblins were walking around there.

"Gaa~! Ga ga~"

Liang Yue and the others had just appeared on the map, and they were instantly noticed by them.

After one of the goblins screamed, the entire tribe of the small tribe picked up their wolf tooth clubs and semi-circular machetes, bared their teeth, and rushed towards them.

However, after all, this is just the lowest-level instance under normal difficulty, and it is only aimed at novices with levels one to three.

Therefore, although the momentum looks good, this group of goblins actually looks very weak, very thin, and very downcast. Although they are running, the speed is definitely not fast.

Moreover, besides the rags around their waists, the only equipment on their bodies is the weapons in their hands.

"I'll leave them to you."

After looking at this group of little guys, Liang Yue immediately rolled his eyes, sighed softly, and then turned to the three girls beside him and said.

"Swish~!"

Almost at the moment when his voice fell, Saya Takagi, who was originally a little nervous, suddenly loosened the bowstring in her hand, and the arrow instantly shot out like a gray shadow!

And then~ it missed… …

An originally well-made arrow rain was nailed to a stone on the side of the road, five or six meters away from the nearest green-skinned goblin~

"Don't be nervous~ Saya, I'm here."

Seeing this, Liang Yue immediately comforted her.

"Saya, just like when you usually shoot zombies, didn't you once shoot against a skeleton archer and win?"

As a mother, Yuriko also glanced at her daughter at this time, and then walked forward with the katana in her hand.
