Online Game: Lord Of The Wheel Of Destiny

Following the path along the Tai'e Mountain Road for about two to three li, up ahead on the mountain path, there stood a conspicuous sign, and in front of the sign, a wall made of crushed stones had been built.

Along the narrow stone wall strip, every so often there were gaps, and at each gap there was a squad of soldiers patrolling back and forth.

Jiang Kai walked toward the nearest gap.

The other side also saw Jiang Kai coming and immediately three people came up to him.

Once in front of Jiang Kai, the leading soldier said to Jiang Kai, "Hello, this is the edge of the Tai'e Mountain Road map. If you go any further, you will enter an unexplored area. For your safety, it's best to return to Tai'e Mountain Road."

Jiang Kai gave a slight smile, "Thanks for the reminder, but I'm going that way."

The other party did not stop him, only said, "We have the obligation to remind you. If you insist on entering, we won't stop you, but you'd better think it through."

"I've already thought it through."

The officer sized up Jiang Kai and asked, "Excuse me, are you a rogue dispatched by the military, or are you going voluntarily? If it's voluntary, we need to register your information."

Jiang Kai directly took out the pass that Luo Ping had given him. Seeing the military document, the soldier had no more doubts and immediately ordered his subordinates to let him pass.

"Please be careful."

Jiang Kai gave a slight smile, "Will do."

Stepping out of the stone wall, Jiang Kai looked at the vast forest in front of him and took a deep breath.

The total developed area of Ghost Star globally is less than one ten-thousandth of the area of Ghost Star itself. Outside the developed areas lies an even broader world!

At the same time, from the moment of entering the unknown area, players would also completely leave the protection of the military force.

"I actually forgot to ask Old Hu to divine which direction would have better luck..." Jiang Kai shook his head and casually chose a direction to head out.

Walking through the dense jungle, Jiang Kai still felt fairly relaxed. These four or five li, he hadn't encountered any beasts.

Currently, there are four countries in the world with territories exceeding 100,000 square kilometers, and from their experience, it can be seen that 100,000 square kilometers seems to be a watershed.

Within 100,000 square kilometers, the strength of wild monsters gradually increases, but the rate of increase is far less than the surge after exceeding the 100,000 square kilometer mark.

Just as he was preparing to find a place to stop and rest, suddenly, about thirty meters in front of Jiang Kai, the ground's soil rapidly bulged.

Something underground was rushing toward Jiang Kai.

Jiang Kai frowned slightly, "What the hell..." As he spoke, he fired four Pursuing Lives.

However, Pursuing Lives only pierced through the ground and didn't manage to stop the rapidly approaching underground thing.

This thing was tunneling underground, but its speed was incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, it had already approached Jiang Kai.

Jiang Kai immediately jumped and leaped to the side.

But the underground thing seemed to have eyes, turned a corner, and continued chasing Jiang Kai.

"This guy is taking advantage of the earth's defense to block my Pursuing Lives, a bit tricky!" Jiang Kai recalled his Pursuing Lives and turned to run.

At this moment, from several other directions, several more beasts appeared. They were tunneling underground, leaving trails on the surface, and chasing after Jiang Kai.

Seeing this, Jiang Kai had a headache and could only sprint deep into the forest.

These things were very cunning, never emerging from the ground. Jiang Kai didn't even know what they were. His Pursuing Lives couldn't penetrate the ground either, so he could only run.

Fortunately, Jiang Kai's agility stat was very high, and those things underground couldn't catch up to Jiang Kai for the time being.

However, Jiang Kai hadn't run far when more and more subterranean beasts were drawn to him.

It seemed as if the surroundings were full of these things.

Jiang Kai also knew that if this continued, he might attract even more underground beasts. If these things were strong, he might fall into danger.

Thinking of this, Jiang Kai saw the trees ahead, leapt up, and jumped onto a branch.

After landing on the branch, Jiang Kai held onto the staff with one hand, overlooking the ground beneath the tree.

Forty or fifty grooves surged in from all directions and quickly gathered beneath the tree.

The ground finally quieted down. Jiang Kai let out a sigh of relief, "Looks like they track me using ground vibrations. Once I got in the tree, they lost their target."

Just as Jiang Kai breathed a sigh of relief, the previously calm ground suddenly exploded with earth and stones.

Next, dozens of massive worm beasts broke through the soil.

These things looked like some kind of black worm, cylindrical in shape, about seven or eight meters long, with a diameter over two meters.

Their entire head was a mouthpart, and when it opened, the mouth was densely packed with sharp teeth, tightly arranged around the edges of its oral cavity.

People with trypophobia might get goosebumps just looking at that mouth.

At this moment, dozens of such creatures burst from the ground, and when Jiang Kai looked down, he saw pitch-black, gaping mouths full of terrifying teeth rushing at him.

Jiang Kai quickly jumped from the branch toward another big tree and, at the same time, turned and threw more than a dozen tempered Pursuing Lives!

When Pursuing Lives struck the surface of these giant worms, the struck area showed petrification.

Pursuing Lives couldn't break through their defenses and couldn't trigger the ignition effect either.

Only three or four critical Pursuing Lives managed to knock the worms back.

"Earth element? Such high defense!" Jiang Kai widened his eyes.

Taking advantage of this moment, he took out an Identification Card and identified one of the giant worms.

[Petrified Gold-Eating Worm Beast, unable to identify attributes of a live target.]

Just as the identification ended, one of the Gold-Eating Worm Beasts at the top bit through the tree trunk where Jiang Kai had landed before.

That thick trunk, in the Gold-Eating Worm Beast's mouth, was like tofu—snapped with a touch.

"Damn, this worm is fierce." Wang Ming was also chilled, "Just arrived here and already encountered such a strong wild beast!"

The Gold-Eating Worm Beast didn't pounce on Jiang Kai, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the trees in the area.

Once they landed, they would tunnel underground again and then go crazy destroying the tree root systems.

A large area of forest, massive trees, all toppled one after another—chaos beyond compare.

"This is insane!" Jiang Kai's eyes were wide. He hadn't expected that after losing their target, these worms would become even more frenzied.

Just as he was speaking, Jiang Kai realized the tree beneath his feet had begun to tilt and fall toward the ground.

He wanted to jump to another tree, but the surrounding trees were all swaying and falling—he had no foothold left.

Jiang Kai hadn't planned to get tangled with these worms for long. After all, his goal was the treasure chest, not killing bugs.

The earlier attacks were just tests—best case, kill them, worst case, run. But now he had no way to escape.

"I can only kill them now!"

...

Just three to four hundred meters away from where Jiang Kai landed, atop a large tree, a slender figure was watching the battle over here.

This person wore a mask, eyes lively and spirited. "He fell? Then he's dead for sure!"

"I was wondering who was so brainless! People like this are annoying, know nothing yet think they're amazing, recklessly stirring up the bug nest, even making me have to run with them!"

Judging by the voice, it should be a woman.

"Should I help him?" The woman thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Forget it, mud can't be shaped into a wall. Helping is pointless. Maybe dying will teach him a lesson."

"It's almost nightfall. Those things are about to come out… Better go hide quickly!"

After speaking, she nimbly leapt to another tree and quickly disappeared into the forest.
