Before Lao Bi could fully come to his senses, a hurricane exploded from the front after Elena released the bowstring.

When the raging storm pushed Lao Bi's body away, he suddenly turned his head to see what was happening at the restaurant entrance.

But he couldn't do it. The wind was too strong. Even if he tried desperately to move his body, it was of no use. The storm forced him to lower his head and curl up his body to ensure that he would not be blown away.

"call!!!"

All he could hear was the howling storm, and Lao Bi seemed to be deaf.

I don’t know how long it took, but when the severe pain from being hit by the wind gradually disappeared, Lao Bi looked around with lingering fear.

After just one glance, Lao Bi felt dazzled.

There are no ruins around. Apart from some streets in the distance that indicate that this is still the Golden Street of Wanda Plaza, there is nothing around.

Whether it was ruins or broken walls, they disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Everything seems to be clear after the rain, and you can still smell the unique fresh scent of the earth.

"This……"

Lao Bi couldn't believe it and stood up shakily. He looked around and found that the "Ruins" that Lin Chen had just mentioned were also gone.

The three or four meter tall level 4 monster that had been fighting with him for a while also disappeared.

I think it was blown away by the strong wind.

Lao Bi looked at the female elf not far ahead and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lin Chen patted Lao Bi's shoulder again.

"Brother Bi."

Lao Bi turned to look at Lin Chen behind him. He replied in a daze, "Ah...ah?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Bi, the shop you spent a lot of money to renovate is being demolished just like that."

"No...it's okay." Lao Bi was still in a strange mood and could only nod his head continuously.

……

After a while, on another street not far from Jin Street.

Old Bilinchen, Elena and the other two were sitting on a bench on the street. They looked at the sporadic figures passing by nearby and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while, Lao Bi spoke softly.

"How much time do you have left, little brat?"

Lin Chen glanced at the details of the Guixu Scroll in his backpack, then replied in a low voice, "40 minutes left."

"40 minutes..." Lao Bi took the cigarette from his mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke: "Didn't you just say that killing a Level 4 Ruin will increase the return time? Why don't the two Level 4 Ruins just now count?"

"That's right. It seems that each time, only after you kill the first one that appears can you increase your rank. The ones that appear later don't count."

"In other words, if I want to continue increasing the return time, I have to kill a Level 5 Ruin?"

"almost."

Lao Bi nodded. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and handed it to Lin Chen: "I almost forgot that you smoke too."

Lin Chen was stunned, then subconsciously took it, lit it and put it in his mouth.

It's been a while since I last smoked...

Second-round players like Lin Chen and Elena are not very different from other people. For normal players like Lao Bi, no matter whether they have reincarnated once in the Land of the Hunting God or not, at least they only remember that it was their first time entering the Land of the Hunting God.

From the time the Land of the Hunting God was launched to now, it has been less than half a month.

But for Lin Chen... he has been in the Hunting God Land for at least three or four years.

So when he inhaled the smoke and nicotine into his lungs again, Lin Chen only felt a different feeling.

"Well... I can almost analyze something." Lao Bi said suddenly.

Lin Chen subconsciously exchanged glances with Elena, then looked at Lao Bi: "Brother Bi, you say."

Lao Bi cleared his throat. "First of all, this is your third time using the Return to the Ruins Scroll, right? And every time you return to the real world, a corresponding [Ruin] will come to hunt you down. So I guess the level of the [Ruin] increases based on the number of times you return to the Ruins."

Lin Chen nodded thoughtfully. In fact, he had guessed this situation.

When he first returned to the Ruins, he used [Wail of the Earth] to kill an individual that was relatively powerful for Lin Chen at that time. I think it should be a level 2 Ruins.

But at that time, killing the level 2 Xu did not increase the time of returning to Xu.

The second time he came back with Elena, they appeared in an amusement park. That was the first time they saw the level 3 Ruins. However, the time to return to the Ruins was increased when they killed the level 2 Ruins.

Now, this is his third time returning to the ruins, but he skipped the rewards for level 3 ruins and directly got the time reward for level 4 ruins.

If we follow Lao Bi's statement, it is not very rigorous.

"But in the final analysis, this is all due to the special nature of you second-round players. I'm actually becoming more and more interested in people like you." Lao Bi continued, "By the way, did you all die in the same dungeon during your first round?"

Lin Chen and Elena nodded in tacit understanding: "To be precise, it is not a copy, but a relic called [Mengze Flower Corridor]."

"Ruins?" Lao Bi was a little confused again: "Isn't that thing like a special event, something you can only encounter but not seek?"

"Yes, otherwise the second round players would be all over the streets." Lin Chen nodded.

When he said this, Lao Bi had finished the cigarette in his hand, so he took out another cigarette and lit it.

"hiss……"

He exhaled a new puff of smoke. "That's right. If I were the system, I wouldn't let so many people become second-round players. But then I'm wondering, since they're selecting specific people for the second round, then naturally the higher the ability of the chosen ones, the better. But if we stick to this method... wouldn't that add a lot of randomness?"

"Yes, so far, the only way to become a second-round player is to die in the Mengze Flower Corridor. There is no other way."

"Is that so?" Lao Bi fell into deep thought. He occasionally reached out and scratched his bald head, even dusting off cigarette ash on his head. "If the randomness is so high, it can only mean that the system doesn't deliberately select players for the second round. It also indirectly shows that even after making it to the second round, players don't have much of an advantage. Am I right?"

Lin Chen laughed. "As expected of you, Brother Bi. You're right. The only advantage we second-round players have over you is... our memory. We didn't bring anything else back from the first round."

"What a mess." Lao Bi laughed bitterly. "But the Land of the Hunting God is still very different from ordinary online games. It is very important and necessary to live again with memories. At least I can quickly integrate into the Land of the Hunting God and become stronger quickly and systematically. It's much better than us headless flies."

This time, Elena nodded. "Well... because the second round players were all at least level 70 or above in the previous round, our experience does need to be more complete."

"Level 70?" Lao Bi was stunned.

"Yes." Lin Chen replied, "Because the minimum entry level to the [Mengze Flower Corridor] is 70."

Lao Bi fell into deep thought again, and this time Lin Chen and Elena did not disturb him.

After more than ten seconds, Lao Bi raised his head and said, "I suspect that some of the truths may require you to reach level 70 and enter that corridor-like place again before you can discover it."

Lin Chen sighed. "Reaching level 70 isn't that easy. Hunting God Land is different from other online games. Every 10 levels up, you need to kill the world boss within that level range. It's really troublesome."

"If you hadn't mentioned the World Boss, I almost forgot about it. Damn, that's something that humans can defeat?" Lao Bi suddenly spat viciously on the ground!

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"Damn, I don't know if you two have ever been to the Fire God's Challenge Field."

Lin Chen and Elena remained silent, waiting for what was to come.

"It's called a level 40 world boss, but that thing is simply not something a level 40 to 50 player can handle!" Lao Bi said seriously, "That thing's strength is too exaggerated, and in the end, that thing will self-destruct!"

When he mentioned the word "self-destruction", Lao Bi's face twitched.

Lin Chen understood. He now knew how Lao Bi died.
