The Man Standing at the Top of the Food Chain

"Oh, it seems that we can only stop here." Looking at the black and yellow land in front of him, but full of corrosion, Tang Cheng shook his head helplessly, and jumped off the head of the huge dinosaur.

To be honest, after obtaining this huge dinosaur as a mount, the speed of the group increased a lot. The distance they traveled in the first five days was less than one-tenth of that in the second five days.

Of course, this is not surprising. For one thing, the giant dinosaur’s strides are very large. Its ordinary running is already equivalent to the full speed of a first-class mental ability person. If it runs at full speed, it is almost the same as taking a high-speed rail, and it His physical strength is also quite abundant.Secondly, the giant dinosaur is a native creature of the Dark Continent, and has already adapted to the cruel environment here. Its wild intuition will instinctively avoid unnecessary dangers, saving everyone a lot of time.

But the time when everyone can be so relaxed is only these five days, because before they came to the black and yellow land in front of them, no matter how urged by Tang Cheng, the huge dinosaur refused to take a step forward, but kept moving forward. Backing away, chatting in a low roar revealed a bit of fear.

Although everyone does not know why it is afraid, they know that there are never invincible creatures in nature. The lion is the king of beasts, but it does not go to the sea to hunt food. The shark is a tyrant in the sea, but it cannot survive on the ground. The eagle is the overlord in the sky, but it will become quite weak when it reaches the ground... Every creature has its own habits and its own living area. Their wildness and instinct will reject those places that are not suitable for them to live in. .

Obviously, this black and yellow land is not the living domain of giant dinosaurs.

That being the case.Tang Cheng was no longer reluctant, and obediently jumped off the dinosaur's head, but when everyone stepped on the ground, the huge dinosaur roared in cheers as if it had finally been relieved, and then turned around , bang bang bang bang briskly returned to the original road.

"This guy is really unkind." Tang Cheng muttered to himself, as if he had a problem with the ruthlessness of dinosaurs.

No one complained about him.Looking at the black and yellow land in front of them, everyone felt incomparably dignified... Although the huge dinosaur was vulnerable to Tang Cheng, they could see it clearly along the way. , Ordinary and strange, almost ninety-nine percent of creatures are afraid of that dinosaur.under its wia.Almost no creatures dared to take the initiative to provoke.

So, what kind of danger is there in a place that even such an overlord is afraid of?

And a problem that needs to be faced before that... They only have five days left, and in the previous ten days, they still haven't got the slightest clue of the World Tree. , Can they really find the world tree?Are they heading in the right direction?

"No matter what, we have no other choice but to move forward." Looking at the anxious faces, Tang Cheng said calmly, and as usual, he was the first to step into the black and yellow land.

"Tang Cheng, you must have some clue in your mind?" Chunchun asked after following him.

"Clues, if you say there is no clue, you don't have it, but if you say yes, you can say there is..." Tang Cheng said something to himself, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw the confusion on everyone's faces. "Well, actually the so-called clues are not found in this world. It's a game I played before."

"game?"

"En." Tang Cheng nodded and said. "I used to play a game with people when I was young. The theme of the game is to find, which is similar to finding people and objects. First, let one person hide an object or mark a target person within a limited range, and then the other person finds something within a limited range. Find it within the time to decide the outcome, although the rules are very simple, this game is not something everyone can play.”

"Why?" Everyone was taken aback for a moment. In their opinion, this game seemed very simple.

"Hmph." Tang Cheng smiled mysteriously, "When most people play this kind of game, they will give one or several important hints, such as some guessing games, give you a few keywords, and guess these words If you can guess what it represents, it will be easy to find, but we don’t play like this, after all, it’s too childish for us.”

"I remember the first time we played at eleven o'clock at noon, and the question I asked was like this: There is a crown in city A, after you go out, bring it back before dawn tomorrow, you don't need to know it is What kind of crown, you will know it when you see it."

"This?!" Hearing this, everyone's face changed suddenly, their eyes were full of surprise, there was no hint, no clue, and less than a day to find a crown in the whole city, This is simply like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, the few challengers in the spring were shocked not only by the difficulty of this question, but also... the sense of sight.

"So, what's the result?" Spring couldn't help asking.

Tang Cheng shrugged, "It turned out that that guy brought the crown back before dark. After all, it was the first time I played. I was worried that it would cause trouble if the challenge was too high, so I relaxed the difficulty a little."

"In just a few hours, the crown without any hints was found in the whole city. How did this happen?" Everyone was puzzled.

Tang Zai immediately smiled and said, "Actually, it's not without hints. This question itself has a hidden hint, which is the three words after going out. You all remember, I didn't have any hints after these three words." Plus any twists, that is to say... after going out, go straight forward and you will find the crown."

"This..." Everyone was so surprised that they couldn't speak, because of their IQ, they didn't even think that these three words would be a reminder. No, this kind of reminder actually has nothing to do with IQ.

"If you don't have enough understanding of your words and deeds, you won't be able to detect this kind of hint at all." Spring said in a deep voice.

Ka!

Tang Cheng immediately snapped his fingers, "Yes, it is impossible for ordinary people to find hints from this sentence, only those who are familiar with my way of thinking can understand it through reverse thinking, so in turn, take the main line we received In terms of missions, it also has two reminders. The first is the final note, which reminds me of the rules of the main mission, and the second is the point of going to the Dark Continent within a limited time. Since there is not much time left, Then it can be described as the urgency of the situation, and the slightest waste is not allowed, so how can we not waste it? Of course...the straight line between two points is the shortest."

"So..." Tang Cheng stretched his finger forward and said with a smile, "We just need to go straight in the direction of going out to sea."

Qiu couldn't help but widen his eyes, "That is to say, the direction we are heading in now..."

"That's right, although we took a lot of detours along the way, all the routes are all in my mind, and the direction we are heading now is exactly the direction to go to sea."

After hearing these words, everyone was too shocked to speak. The Phantom Troupe, Kurapika and others were shocked by Tang Cheng's memory. It has been more than two months since he went to sea. There are quite a few bends around both sea and land. Unless there is an extremely accurate recording pointer, otherwise, even if it is slightly off by one degree, its direction will be completely different, but Tang Cheng is obviously still on the straight line.

What Chunchun and the others are more concerned about is the relationship between this main quest and Tang Cheng. This game rule was developed by Tang Cheng himself, but the current main quest is being carried out according to his rules. This is Tang Cheng's self-righteousness. Or...what is the situation, everyone is completely unable to understand.

Just vaguely, they all felt that this dungeon world might not be as simple as just a dungeon.

Thinking of this, everyone stopped talking, and just followed Tang Cheng's footsteps to move forward silently.

And not long after, everyone finally understood why the giant dinosaurs did not dare to enter this black and yellow land, because this is an acid rain zone. When the tiny raindrops fell from the sky and sprinkled on the skin, they suddenly felt burned. Like pain, bursts of smoke rose from the ground.

Fortunately, everyone knew about the situation in the Dark Continent, and they had already made preparations. At the beginning of the rain, everyone had already put on anti-acid raincoats, but even so, when the rain changed from weak acid to strong acid, the rising water on the ground The thick smoke was already so hot that it was almost impossible to move.

Facing such a dangerous environment, no creature can survive in this black and yellow land!

Fortunately, the rain did not last too long. A few hours later, the sky cleared up again, and there was no acid rain in the next few days.

Finally, when there was only one day left in the limited time, everyone finally walked out of the black and yellow land, but there was neither magma nor world tree in sight, only an endless plain.

"It's, it's over...it's too late." Li Ping immediately fell to the ground with a look of despair on his face. I can't see where the World Tree is. If they didn't go in the wrong direction, it means that the World Tree is still far, far away.

And it is impossible for them to arrive in the remaining time.

"No." Only Tang Cheng, with confidence in his eyes, said with a smile, "If it was just a guess before, then now I can be [-]% sure that this main task uses exactly my rules of the game. No need to move on."

"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at him puzzled.

Tang Cheng looked at the sky and said to himself: "The challenge is a rule that is often used in finding people, but I don't like to use it very much... If my prediction is not bad, there should be someone soon. Come pick us up." (To be continued~^~)
