“Ahhhh”

“Splat!”

The scream disappeared.

On Dinosaur Island, the death number of players on Mavis’s Death Notebook jumped again, reaching 1283772.

On the small platform of the cliff, everyone looked at each other and laughed: “Great, we have a rope now.”

Yi didn’t go over but looked down at the glider in his hands.

He suddenly had an idea: “If climbing tools can be counted as[clothes], and we can wear them successfully, what about the wing suit for wing suit flight? That would be more like a[clothes]definition, right?”

Although he had always been a homebody, he never dreamed of trying a dangerous sport like wing suit flying with such a high death rate.

But that was in reality!

Isn’t it in the game now?

He had learned to fly helicopters in just one day, and wing suit flying didn’t even have buttons and levers. Wouldn’t it be even easier to learn?

At this thought, Yi was immediately excited: “Try! Try!”

After greeting his teammates, Yi immediately returned to his personal login space, jumped to the Metropolis Public Map, and went straight to the outdoor supply store.

Ten minutes later, Yi, wearing a wing suit and carrying a parachute bag, came to the entrance of the Paradise amusement park again.

After taking two deep breaths, he walked quickly into the amusement park gate.

But at the moment of entering the gate, he felt lighter.

Yi was startled and quickly touched his chest, “Thank goodness, the clothes are still there.”

But when he reached back, the parachute was gone…

“The parachute is gone, guys.” Yi said helplessly to the audience: “You can’t even sneak in like this, so it seems you really can’t bring a parachute in.”

“So, can you land with a wing suit and no parachute?” Yi asked for help from the omnipotent live-streamer community.

The viewers started discussing:

“Isn’t the death rate of wing suit flying 30%? That’s with the parachute, right? Can you even survive without it?”

“Rumor! It’s just a rumor! The actual death rate is probably just a few thousandths, definitely not up to one percent!”

“That’s still pretty high, isn’t it?!”

“Imagine a mortal body, hitting the ground at 200 kilometers per hour, do you think you can survive?”

After the chaotic and meaningless comments, a valuable reply finally appeared:

“Wing suit flying without a parachute and landing on the ground is 100% deadly! But landing on the water has one successful case, which is most likely true. You can try landing in the sea near the edge of Dinosaur Island.”

This comment immediately caught Yi’s attention and gave him enough confidence.

“Great! If someone can succeed in reality with one life, I have unlimited respawns, even if I die hundreds of times, I can still succeed!”

Start the car, let’s go!

When he reached the narrow hole, Yi was quite surprised.

It’s not because there was a queue here – it seemed that there had always been a queue at this hole since the discovery of Dinosaur Island.

What surprised him was that eight out of ten people in line were wearing wing suits!

Are they all so quick to react?

Yi speechlessly followed the crowd, went through the long cave, and came to the small platform again.

At the edge of the cliff, a dense row of people wearing wing suits stood, trying to adjust their mentality and taking deep breaths.

Just like before bungee jumping, you know you’re tied to a safety rope and won’t be in danger, but looking at the abyss below your feet, your heart still races, your limbs go numb, and you may even back away in fear.

Not to mention now, when they had no protection at all, and a group of people who had never even tried parachuting suddenly had to wing suit fly without a parachute. You can imagine the psychological pressure they faced.

The high reality of the virtual environment made them feel as great playing as they were afraid looking down from the high altitude.

Yi was no exception.

But Yi had his own advantage – he had already fallen to his death many times while practicing helicopter driving…

He had some experience.

He closed his eyes, shouted, and jumped off the cliff.

The shout immediately scared the players at the edge of the cliff, who retreated far from the edge. An unlucky guy even fell down with his legs going soft!

The involuntary long scream of “Ahhhhh” was both hilarious and amusing to the listeners.

Laughter erupted on the platform.

As for Yi, who jumped out?

He’s spiraling down like crazy!

The audiences in the live broadcast room were almost dizzy watching the crazy spiraling view, let alone Yi, who felt like his brain was turning to mush.

“Splat!”

Another soul was added to the beach.

After reviving, Yi couldn’t figure it out: “Why did I start spinning right away? Is it really a technical problem?”

“Let’s do it again. This time, don’t use the stimulating first-person view. Switch to the third-person view, and everyone can help me see what’s going on.”

Yi returned to the Metropolis, threw away the ragged wing suit, bought a new one, and returned to the cliff again.

This time, Yi didn’t even have to close his eyes. After making a slight mental preparation, he leaped off again.

He didn’t immediately start spinning this time, but he understood the reason for his “death spiral” in the air: there was a hole in the right sleeve of his wing suit!

During the high-speed flight, the airflow quickly tore the hole larger and larger, until the whole sleeve was ripped off by the wind!

Yi, who was already falling with a twisted parabola and not even close to a proper flying posture, lost his ability to control his position even more, and his falling speed accelerated once again!

Fortunately, he wasn’t alone this time. With a slight lift of his head, he could see a messy group of players in the sky, all flying on weird trajectories, and some were falling even faster than him!

“Smack!”

Yi resurrected again.

Sitting on a bench in the amusement park in his tattered wing suit, he began to reflect: “Is there a problem with the quality of the wing suit? It broke as soon as I got into the air?”

Thankfully, there were many quick-thinking viewers in the comments section. Someone immediately found the reason: “No! Your wing suit might have been torn up in the cave!”

Seeing this comment, Yi was reminded, “That makes sense! The entrance to the cave was ridiculously narrow, so it’s normal for clothes to be torn.”

“Great, found the problem.” Yi regrouped and set out on his journey once more.

This time, when he arrived at the entrance of the cave, the players who were wearing wing suits in line saw Yi’s cautious appearance, holding his suit carefully, and they immediately knew what was going on.

In the next moment, dozens of people at the entrance of the cave, regardless of gender, began to undress…

The scene was quite spectacular.

Meanwhile, on another shared platform, William, who had given up rock climbing, also put on his wing suit and stood at the edge of the cliff.

Unlike many players who had never had wing suit experience, William had played in reality, and his skills were quite good.

In fact, those who could complete more than a year of training and start participating in wing suit flight likely won’t have poor skills.

As an “extreme sport among extreme sports,” wing suit flight is not for those with poor skills.

In the not-so-large extreme sports circle of Daxia, William’s wing suit flight level was definitely among the best.

From the beginning, he was also aware of the need to protect his wing suit.

After a brief preparation, and waiting for a gap where the airspace was relatively clean after other players had fallen, William leaped off!

It was clearly different from the previous players. His skilled posture control, smooth gliding curve, and freely changing direction in the air allowed him to fly farther than any other player in an instant.

This quickly attracted everyone’s attention on the scene.

Everyone stopped and watched William’s figure intently, even though he had become as small as a fingernail in the sky.

“The boss has shown up!”

“Holy shit, will he actually log into Dinosaur Island today?!”

“Is the boss live streaming? I want to see the first-person perspective!”

Amidst this eager anticipation, William rapidly approached the airspace of Dinosaur Island.

In the end, the straight-line distance between the cliff and Dinosaur Island was not very far. The only reason everyone was trapped for so long was the lack of available routes and transportation.

Now that William had the tools and was flying in a straight line, he naturally arrived in the blink of an eye.

However, William had never tried water landing and lacked confidence, so he planned to circle around Dinosaur Island while still high in the sky to check out the island’s environment first.

On the platform, the players who saw William’s figure approaching Dinosaur Island raised their telescopes and looked over.

William lowered his altitude, joyfully overlooking the island below filled with dinosaurs.

He knew almost nothing about dinosaurs.

But seeing the Turya dragons leisurely eating leaves in the forest, the Velociraptors playing and running on the plains, the Wrist Dragons walking casually in the river, the seven or eight meters long Triceratops with spikes on their heads, and the Stegosauruses with bony plates standing upright on their backs…

Even without understanding, just seeing this scene was enough to make him lose himself and laugh merrily in the air.

Despite not having seen enough, and even feeling like he didn’t see much, his altitude was already low, so he had to leave.

He prepared to glide over the last stretch of the forest and attempt to land in the sea.

But suddenly, the tranquil tree canopy in front of him began to move.

The next moment, accompanied by a series of shrieking noises, one Pterosaur after another flapped their wings, breaking through the tree canopy and soaring into the sky.

That wasn’t all – these Pterosaurs didn’t stop and immediately flew towards William!

William, confronted with this sudden attack, had no time to change direction – his speed didn’t allow him to make many maneuvers.

The next instant, William collided with a Pterosaur!

But what was incredible to him was that although the Pterosaur’s flying speed might be less than half of his, its agility was quite astonishing!

It even managed to dodge him at the last moment and slashed him with its sharp claws!

The extremely sharp claws, with the added factor of high speed, were like a razor-sharp treasure sword that could instantly cut a person in half! freeweɓnøvel.com

Of course, the game wouldn’t be that bloody, but the huge red splatter in the air could be vaguely seen even by the players on the cliff.

Players who had been watching through their telescopes saw it even more clearly!

William didn’t even have to hit the ground before he was instantly killed in the air.

This brief “air battle” came to an end.

Dozens, even hundreds of Pterosaurs flew out of the jungle simultaneously, soaring and swooping in the sky above Dinosaur Island, defending its airspace.

The players on the platform watched this scene, speechless.

After resurrecting, William, however, didn’t feel frustrated and even immediately went to buy a new wing suit to try again.

After all, it was only because he loved playing so much that he insisted on flying around Dinosaur Island, which resulted in the Pterosaurs’ surprise attack.

“If I had landed directly in the sea, could you have flown over the sea and caught me?”
