Chapter 69 Entering the Sunset Forest

The five-second countdown ended, and Zhou Nan was already in the Sunset Forest. He looked around and saw many larch-like trees of varying heights. There were fallen leaves and weeds on the ground, and the ground in the distance was undulating. Sunlight slanted down, casting long shadows of the trees.

Looking at the scenery, the afterglow of the setting sun indicates it is dusk.

"Ding! You have entered Sunset Forest. Your current coordinates are (5200; 5607). The minimap and map chat systems have been activated for you. Silently say 'map' three times to bring up the minimap window. Please pay attention to map information. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience!"

Upon hearing the system notification, Zhou Nan quickly brought up the mini-map. He discovered that he was currently located in the northeast corner of Sunset Forest, and a green dot was marked in the middle of the mini-map, which was probably the place where he would eventually obtain the forest treasure.

The minimap also displays basic information about the current game, such as the countdown to the arrival of the power of sunset, the number of surviving players, the location of the hunters, the number of enemies killed, and so on.

After a brief examination, Zhou Nan quickly understood that the so-called "hunter" was a special monster that roamed the Sunset Forest. It was very powerful and targeted players, launching an attack as soon as it spotted one.

The kill count refers to the number of players a player kills in Sunset Forest. This number can affect the final reward. Of course, to make it effective, you have to be the last and only winner. Otherwise, the kill count is meaningless. Even if you kill 99 enemies, if you don't survive to the end, such as being wiped out by the power of sunset, you will not be able to claim the forest treasure.

At this moment, there are 100 players alive. Players can still chat in the game, but they can only send text messages, which will be displayed in the chat window on the minimap page.

At this moment, the chat window is quite lively.

[Ximen Buchui]: "My coordinates are (9800; 5999). Is there any hero who dares to kill me?"

[Biao Bing running side by side]: "With these coordinates, were you perhaps spawned outside the map?"

[After a quick calculation]: "You're so cheeky!"

[Nanbowan]: "Big brother and sister-in-law, please don't kill me! I'm a little white rabbit!"

[I'm number one]: "Then you should be called Nanbo Rabbit!"

【Battle·Samat】: "In the middle of the map, we're fighting the green dragon. Anyone want to join?"

[This melon isn't ripe]: "Holy crap, someone from the Douzhan Clan has sneaked into the room! Everyone be careful!"

[Is this melon ripe?]: "Upstairs, look at our nicknames, what a coincidence!"

[Qin Huaibao] (Last words): "Ah, I'm dead. Watch out for the hunters, they'll kill me instantly!"

[General of the Town Suppression Division]: "People are already dying so quickly!"

[Black Card Emperor]: "Looking for the coordinates of the Green Dragon..."

【Battle·Samat】: "(4444; 4444)!"

[Red Card Han Buxin]: "Don't lie, the green dragon is at (2333; 2333)!"

【Red Card - I'm Invincible】: "Don't believe me? You're here too..."

Zhou Nan glanced at the chat channel a few times and felt that the game atmosphere was quite cheerful.

"Without a doubt, this is a survival game. One person wins while 99 others play along? There are only two ways to win: either survive or kill your way to victory. So... Big Bad Wolf, transform!"

Without hesitation, Zhou Nan threw his hands to the ground and transformed into a gray-furred jackal.

As for the little dog Dodge, the butterfly A-Zhen, and the butterfly A-Qiang, they automatically returned to Zhou Nan's storage backpack because of the jackal's transformation.

Next, Zhou Nan headed straight for the center of the map, intending to find a strong monster stronghold and hide there for a while before making any further moves.

Someone in the chat channel mentioned the Green Dragon stronghold, and Zhou Nan thought that if he could find it, he should be safe to hide there.

Unfortunately, the coordinates provided in the chat channel don't seem reliable.

Following conventional thinking, the most likely scenario is that there is a powerful monster stronghold in the center of the map.

As Zhou Nan traveled, he discovered that Sunset Forest had many monster strongholds. Bear monsters and wolf monsters were everywhere, as well as tree spirits, tree people, man-eating flowers, and powerful bosses such as the Wild Wolf King and the War Tree.

He also discovered that there were granite golems in the Sunset Forest, just like those in the Guardian of Casanar dungeon, over nine meters tall with 120,000 health!

However, in this Sunset Forest, it was no longer a lone commander; it was surrounded by a bunch of clay golems and rock golems, making a formidable presence.

Therefore, it's not accurate to say that in Sunset Forest, one person profits while ninety-nine others play along, since players can also hunt for treasures in the wild.

Zhou Nan transforms into a big gray wolf, freely venturing into these monster strongholds, ignoring even the man-eating plants.

Zhou Nan also encountered some players who wore the same game masks. They were all very cautious and didn't bother to fight monsters. They especially liked to hide in the bushes.

At this moment, Zhou Nan saw a large treasure chest in the open space ahead.

That treasure chest was no ordinary chest; it shone with a dazzling golden light, its surface was plated with gold, and its body was inlaid with many diamonds, making it extremely eye-catching.

"A treasure chest in the wild? Is it this brightly lit?"

Zhou Nan did not act rashly.

This treasure chest is ridiculously flashy; what other treasure chest in the wild is this dazzling?

Just as Zhou Nan was wondering, a tall player suddenly emerged from the bushes beside him.

"Haha, the treasure chest! It's mine!"

The player was overjoyed. He ran to the treasure chest, opened it, and peered inside.

Just then, the treasure chest suddenly jumped up, its open lid turning into a gaping maw, and two large eyes appeared in front of it. It swallowed the player who was peering into the chest whole. Then the chest shook violently, and a series of crackling sounds came from inside. After about half a minute, the chest returned to calm, and a greasy tongue emerged from inside, licking the outside of the chest as if it were licking its lips.

"Triple kill!"

The treasure chest made a sound, then quickly stopped moving.

Zhou Nan was taken aback.

"Is this treasure chest a fake player's trap? Are they trying to ambush us?"

The world of cards is full of all sorts of strange and wonderful cards. If you have a Wolfskin Coat card that can transform you into a big bad wolf, who knows what other people might have a Treasure Chest card that can transform them into a Mimic monster.

"This player is shameless, pretending to be a treasure chest to kill other players. Luckily, he's too good-looking; if he were more ordinary-looking, I might have fallen for it too!"

Zhou Nan lay prone in the grass. He brought up the minimap chat window and, sure enough, saw a player nicknamed "[Cupid's Second Uncle]" had left a message: "Who the hell is so shameless! Everyone be careful, there's a man-eating treasure chest at coordinates (4132; 4556). Don't rush to open it, hit it a few times first!"

[Red Card Han Buxin]: "..."

Is this melon ripe? (???)

[This melon isn't ripe]: "Nonsense, don't spread misleading messages. The treasure chest will disappear if it's destroyed. Trust me, don't try it..."

Zhou Nan was caught off guard and spent seven or eight minutes spying on the screen. At that moment, another player went up to open the treasure chest and got caught. When the treasure chest said "quad kill", Zhou Nan was completely certain that he was a player.

"I wonder if I can just swallow this treasure chest whole from behind!"

As Zhou Nan was pondering this, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him. Turning around, he saw a player crouching down and disappearing into the bushes.

The player was being very cautious, but he never expected that there was a big gray wolf lying in the bushes. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Zhou Nan.

"There was a big gray wolf hiding in the bushes! It scared the hell out of me!"

The player muttered something, then took out the card and prepared to use it.

Zhou Nan dared not hesitate at this moment. Before the player could use the card, he swallowed the player whole with a large bite. Then, without hesitation, he quickly ran to the nearest wolf stronghold.

bang bang bang...

Cards kept transforming into various summoned beasts around Zhou Nan. Fortunately, Zhou Nan ran fast enough and successfully hid in the wolf stronghold. The card summoned beasts then fought with the wolves in the stronghold, which caused quite a commotion.

Soon, the player was consumed, and his summoned cards disappeared at the same time.

Meanwhile, in the minimap chat channel, a player nicknamed "[Is this melon ripe?]" left a final message: "This is terrible! It's not the treasure chest that's eating people, it's the big bad wolf! I've been tricked to death! Can we still play together, my friends?"
