Song Jian turned his head and saw a young man wearing a black robe holding a bone staff in his hand standing five or six meters away from him, looking at him with a smile on his face.

The boy had long silver shawl hair, his eyes were weird purple, his face was handsome, and he looked only eighteen or nineteen years old;

Beside him was a skeleton warrior holding a sharp axe. His scarlet eyes looked a little dull and motionless, and he seemed very well-behaved. He seemed to be the summoning object of this boy;

"Are you a necromancer?" Song Jian asked tentatively.

"That's right." Tang Ming stared at Song Jian up and down, and the smile on his face became even brighter, and he asked, "Who are you? Why did you appear here?"

"My name is Song Jian. I want to go to Yingya Mountains. I saw a small town here and planned to take a break here." Song Jian smiled and said, "Is this your birthplace? It looks a bit remote!"

The boy had no information on his head, and he seemed to be a player.

"There are few players here. I'm probably the only one born here!" Tang Ming said with some regret: "Since I entered the game, I have been playing stand-alone players and have never communicated with other players."

"It seems that you are not lucky, so you will go to such a desolate place." Song Jian shook his head and said.

"It's okay, at least I'm still alive now. By the way, my name is Tang Ming. You are the first player I've seen!" Tang Ming said.

Song Jian nodded, pointed to the flower garden and asked, "You just said, don't get close to this flower garden. Do you think this flower garden is in danger?"

"Yes!" Tang Ming nodded and said, "There is a level 30 monster hidden inside, and it is very powerful. Any creature within three meters of the flowerbed will be captured and swallowed by it!"

"So dangerous?" Song Jian raised his eyebrows, wondering if the monster hidden here has first-level combat power. If it is just an ordinary monster at level 30, or a boss who has not reached first-level combat power, then Song Jian is confident to kill it;

"It's not dangerous either. As long as you don't get close to it, it's because of it that I can survive in this town..." Tang Ming said with lingering fear.

"Is this town very dangerous?" Song Jian looked around and asked.

"It's okay during the day, but ghost monsters appear in the town at night. They are very strong, so I usually try not to go out at night." Tang Ming said: "I have never left this town with a radius of five kilometers. I don't know where the Shadow Ya Mountains are. Can you tell me about the outside world?"

"Of course!" Song Jian smiled and looked at the flower garden again. Unexpectedly, this monster was actually a character similar to a protector. Although the monster itself probably didn't know this, he just simply hunted all creatures close to it;

However, once this feature is mastered by players, it will be easy to use to protect yourself;

"Go to my safe house first, it will be dark in a while." Tang Ming glanced at the sun that was about to set and said to Song Jian.

Song Jian nodded, and the two walked towards Tang Ming's safe house together;

Tang Ming led Song Jian to a dilapidated two-story building, opened the door and walked in;

"Is this your safe house?" Song Jian's eyebrows jumped and he looked around. The small building was too dilapidated, with no defense walls. There was even a big hole in the wall on the first floor, which looked like it had been smashed by some heavy object.

Such a safe house has no defensive ability at all. Song Jianzhen doesn’t know how it resists the monster siege during its creation;

If Tang Ming hadn't brought him here, Song Jian wouldn't have treated it as a safe house;

"To be precise, we haven't entered the real safe house yet." Tang Ming showed a mysterious smile and walked towards a fireplace on the wall of the first-floor hall;

Song Jian was stunned, then followed Tang Ming. Sure enough, Tang Ming actually entered the abandoned fireplace directly and his figure disappeared.

Song Jian hesitated for a moment and followed him in. Through the fireplace, Song Jian felt as if he had passed through a thin layer of air bubbles. When he actually entered the fireplace, he realized that a spiraling downward stone steps appeared in front of him;

"My safe house is actually built underground, which is safer and easier to defend than above!" Tang Ming said, walking down the stone steps;

On the walls on both sides of the stone steps, there is an embedded magic lamp every few meters to illuminate the stone steps;

Soon, the two of them walked along the stone steps to a spacious room. Song Jian looked at the top of his head. It was about ten meters above the ground. It was obvious that Tang Ming had also spent some effort on this safe house.

"Please sit down, you are the first player to come to visit me." Tang Ming smiled;

"I'd like to thank you for your hospitality, otherwise I'll spend the night in the wild again today." Song Jian showed a bitter smile on his face.

I have suffered a little in the wild these two days, and I didn’t even dare to have a bonfire. I couldn’t even eat a bite of hot food, so I could only chew on military dry food and sleep on the trees;

Fortunately, it has not rained these two days, otherwise Song Jian would be much more embarrassed than he is now;

"Although you live, you can stay as long as you want!" Tang Ming said enthusiastically.

After a sumptuous dinner, Song Jian came to the bedroom and prepared to rest;

Watching Song Jian enter the room, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Tang Ming's face, which was filled with enthusiasm;

Song Jian looked at this rather simple bedroom, but he always felt a strange feeling in his heart;

"Did Tang Ming be a little too enthusiastic about me? It's a bit abnormal." Song Jian said in his heart: "But I have never seen other players since I entered the game. I suddenly met one, and it's not surprising that I was enthusiastic."

After seeing Song Jian enter the bedroom, Tang Ming came to another room; it looked like a laboratory, with beakers and test tubes on the wide test bench. In a palm-sized crucible, there was a viscous bright red liquid, and the air was filled with a sweet smell;

In the center of the laboratory, there is a complex magic array, with glimmers constantly shining on the patterns. In the center of the magic array, there is a huge crystal trough similar to a coffin. From the outside, there seems to be a person lying in the crystal trough.

Looking at the crystal grass, a smile appeared on Tang Ming's face, and patted the skeleton warrior who had been guarding by his side and said softly: "You will soon be born another partner. Today is my lucky day. Not only will you get a skeleton warrior, but you will also get a material that has the potential to become a skeleton warrior."
