On the ships at the front of the reconnaissance team, the players in front of the joysticks began to turn the rudders crazily.
The players at the back were also in an uproar.
What...what j8 thing! ?
Level 19?
Among the players present, the highest one might not be level 19, right?
As a result, the "fish" that popped up now has a higher level than them?
"Don't panic, everyone! These piranhas don't have long health bars. They must be the type with high attack power and low health. Long-range professions should cover them with firepower!"
After a brief period of panic after being attacked by a sneak attack, the player is a player after all. He immediately regained his composure and prepared to regain his position. It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you have a health bar, you will be done.
All of a sudden, colorful skill effects began to fly towards the "black tide" on the sea.
Indeed, the health bar of the Fallen Piranha is not very long and is much lower than that of monsters of the same level. However, the remaining offensive and defensive attributes are actually at level 19.
After the skill effect dissipated, the players looked at the two-digit damage figures on the battle panel and couldn't help but curse.
As for what makes players curse even more...
"Fuck, are you sick? You can't get 20 experience points if you kill one of them?" A mage player looked at his long-charged ultimate move AOE, and the result was so much. experience bar, stamping his feet angrily.
Yes, there is a very fundamental difference between Abyss creatures and other monsters, that is, killing them brings very little experience value.
As a former closed beta player, Big Tugou knows this very well.
Looking at the surrounding player ships, they are already locked in a bitter battle, and more and more people are starting to turn around and turn back. After all, no one is willing to fight against such a monster that is difficult to eat and has little experience value.
"Boss...Boss, what should we do now!" The younger brother at the helm of the big dog boat asked nervously.
Because they had been taking turns to sail and play with the boats before, their speed was not very fast. They were only located in the middle of the fleet, which protected them from the impact of the first wave.
Originally, the big dog had to give the order to turn around and leave the sea area, but who would have thought that the sound of fighting also came from the rear of their reconnaissance fleet.
"Damn it! When did these piranhas come around!"
"We're surrounded!"
"There's nothing I can do. Damn it! I'm going to end up with you guys before I can run away. I'm just a bunch of dead fish. I'm still afraid of you!"
"Pay attention to your stance!"
Players who have experienced the training of Sakuragi Island are actually not low in combat effectiveness. When they saw that there were monsters behind them and their retreat was blocked, they were a little annoyed and started to fight.
They stood firm, and many smart players among them had figured out the piranha's single attack method. They called on everyone to stay away from the periphery of the ship, which could greatly reduce the piranha's attack range.
brush!
The samurai professional's big dog flashed his sword and used the "Drawing Technique" skill to kill three or four piranhas that were trying to jump up from the sea to the boat.
One of them had a thin residual blood left, and even though it was only half of its body, it was still opening its jagged sharp mouth on the deck of the ship, trying to bite the players on the ship.
The big dog stabbed hard with his sword, and then stabbed it a second time before it completely penetrated the piranha and stopped it. This also shows how hard and thick the skin and flesh are after being strengthened by the Fallen Abyss.
But the situation has not improved, on the contrary...
"What's wrong, boss, my weapon can no longer hold up any longer!"
"Me...me too, I've run out of blue medicine, and my magic power is about to bottom out..."
"Spare quiver, who has a spare quiver?"
Seriously, players who entered combat mode did repel waves of fish.
But the problem is that as time goes by, they realize that the most terrifying thing about this group of Abyss-fallen piranhas is not their level, but... their quantity.
It's like a bottomless pit. After one group dies, a new group will emerge from the deep sea.
The loss of players' equipment and the failure to keep up with the supply of props are still small things. The bigger thing is...
"Hurry, stop them from biting the ship, the ship's durability is about to drop, ah... it's sinking, it's going to sink!"
Click...pop!
The reconnaissance ships pursued by Da Zu also have durability. During the battle with the players, there were still a large number of piranhas eating the ships under the sea. As time dragged on, the first reconnaissance ship that could not hold up appeared. , directly disintegrated and sank.
Players who have lost their ships will die if they fall into the black tide full of piranhas, and they cannot even be resurrected. After being determined by the system that there is no landing site, they can only be forced to turn into white light and be reborn on Sakuragi Island.
Due to their relatively strong combat power and their inward location, the ship's durability was still within a safe range.
But it will only be a matter of time if this continues.
Because as the number of player ships decreases, it means that the piranha swarm has fewer targets to attack, and the pressure on the remaining players who survive is even greater.
"Tmd! Boss, are these piranhas the target of our investigation? Now I finally understand why this mission is called a desperate investigation, isn't this just asking us to die!"
Listening to his younger brother's scolding, the big dog shook his head inwardly, because he noticed the word "low-level species" written on the monster panel.
In other words, this group of "Abyss Piranhas" are just the vanguard cannon fodder monsters in the next "Abyss Arrival".
Although such cannon fodder-type troops alone are enough for them to eat a pot, does the fox-faced witch really just let them investigate these?
Recalling the battle in Huodian City during the internal beta.
He shook his head quickly in his mind.
I'm afraid not.
The big dog took advantage of the gap and zoomed in on the game's mini-map. He could see that they were actually only at the outermost edge of the mission-marked reconnaissance area.
Now he is 100% sure that the Thousand Islands' Fall into the Abyss this time is many times more terrifying than the one in the Flame Territory. The big dog thought that their players had become stronger, but he didn't expect that the Fall into the Abyss was still growing at a slower rate. faster than them.
If this happens, Qiandao will be doomed!
No, something must be done!
The foundation they finally laid on Thousand Islands, the Sakuragi Island that is about to be purified with great effort, and the favorability and reputation of many NPCs. Once Thousand Islands is destroyed, it will be a painful blow to local players like them. .
Therefore, regardless of emotion or reason, Datugou believes that not only him, but every Thousand Islands player will stick to their country of birth.
At this moment, the big dog realized how critical the three-day countdown preparation time was.
Also realized...
The true meaning of the "desperate investigation" mission assigned to them by the fox-faced witch.
Desperate...reconnaissance.
It's not like what his younger brother said just now, implying that their mission is very dangerous and they will escape death, but...this mission is originally for them to die, but it is not to die, nor to die fighting monsters like this... .
It is to let them die in exchange for more information! Let them risk their lives in exchange for information!
This is the true meaning of "death"!
It also explains why this mission has such an exaggerated experience value reward. I am afraid that the fox-faced witch is trying to make up for them in this regard.
So... what they really have to do is to try their best to get more information about the enemy, so that they can have a better chance of winning in the future! This is to sound the alarm for Thousand Islands before the impending disaster!
The main plot of Thousand Islands, which has been laid out for so long, seems to have really shown its fangs at this moment.
Faced with the desperate situation at this moment, deep down in the big dog's heart, there is no longer any intention to panic or escape, only excitement and blood boiling.
After all, when he understood the meaning of the mission, he was going to die, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
What's more, his next performance may influence the plot of the entire Thousand Islands and save the players of a country. Is there anything more exciting than this? A feeling called "sense of mission" is constantly filling Datugou.
He could never do it in reality, but he can in the game!
That's the beauty of the game.
"Brother Dog, we have to break out! If we keep going like this, we're going to lose it!" The boy at the helm saw more and more players around him and chose to give up the fight and break out to escape, so he also wanted to follow the crowd.
However, he was immediately stopped by the big local dog.
"Breakthrough? Breakout is a fart!"
I saw that just because most of the players had the intention of retreating and were running outside, the piranhas were also attracted to move, and more of them gathered towards the retreat.
As a result, the number of piranhas that originally blocked their way forward suddenly decreased.
How could such a good opportunity be missed?
"Go forward! Go full speed ahead!"
"What...huh!?"
"Boss, are you crazy? Are you going to go forward? How will you come back then? Aren't you going to die!"
"Stop talking nonsense and come to me!"
"Uh...uh, fuck! Just rush!"
The boy at the helm gritted his teeth and stopped turning the ship around. Instead, he increased his power and ran all the way deeper.
The Big Earth Dog, a ship that penetrated deeply in the opposite direction, immediately stood out among the many player reconnaissance ships that wanted to escape to save their lives, making it unique.
Some seemed to be awakened by this and reacted to something.
Then I saw only one...two...More and more ships began to turn around, no longer trying to run to a safe place, and began to follow the big dog's reconnaissance ship towards the mission reconnaissance point. Heading into the depths.
"Boss, the group of piranhas seems to have retreated and is no longer chasing after them!"
As if after crossing some invisible line, the black tide that was originally chasing them stopped suddenly and began to turn back.
But before the boy on the boat could finish the surprise, they found the big dog staring straight into the water.
When everyone looked over, they found a huge shadow under the water, swimming towards them quickly from far to near.
Because they couldn't see the specific appearance underwater, but the length of the black shadow alone was two or three times larger than that of a whale.
Da Tu Gou and the others were the first to take the lead this time, but this time they seemed to have been spared from danger because of this. They seemed to think that the goal of Da Tu Gou and the others was too small, so the giant underwater figure ignored them. It was to continue swimming under their boat.
call!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and broke out in a cold sweat, but then they came to their senses and shouted wildly in the regional chat channel to remind the players behind them to disperse their ships quickly.
Unfortunately it's a little too late.
Wow!
The mysterious black beast poked its head out from the bottom of the sea. The big dog only saw a huge jaw that was as high as two or three buildings. It swallowed up more than a dozen player ships without any effort, like biting biscuits. Enter the belly.
【Crocodile King of the Fallen Abyss】
[Level: Level 37]
[Race: High-level Abyssal creature]
Big native dog: "..."
"Don't look back, keep moving forward!"
The big dog shouted as he held the magic ball in his hand and recorded and photographed every scene here.
The players' reconnaissance fleet has lost 80% under the attack of Deinosuchus. When the remaining ones sailed into the next area, the players rubbed their eyes because they discovered that there was an island not far away?
Very good!
If there was an island, it could at least be a resurrection point!
But as I got closer, I realized something was wrong. This was not an island, but two huge pincers and carapace.
【Abyss Demon King Crab】
[Level: Level 49]
[Race: High-level Abyssal creature]
The giant pincers just waved like swatting flies, causing the players' ships to break into pieces at a touch. Some who tried to attack found that they could not even scratch the skin of the opponent's carapace.
But fortunately, this devil crab is not very flexible. In the end, a few lucky players finally came to the penultimate area, and here, strangely, the players tightened their spirits and were always on guard against the next terror. When the boss fell into the abyss, he didn't appear for a long time.
finally.
As the deepest point of the "Desperate Reconnaissance" was approaching, even the weather and sea conditions suddenly changed, strong winds began to howl, and dark clouds enveloped the sky.
The raging waves on the sea made the players' boats look like leaves floating on the water and could be overturned at any time.
The boy at the helm tried his best to maintain the balance of the ship, while the big dog clenched the magic ball and aimed it at the deep sea whirlpool in the distance. At the center of the storm, in the violent storm, there was a huge snake shadow with several heads dancing wildly. .
Seeing it getting closer and closer, the big native dog held his breath, but at this moment, the ship suddenly stopped.
"Move! Let's sail quickly! We'll be there soon!" The big dog couldn't help but urged anxiously.
But the boy at the helm was very unjust, no, it turned into panic later.
"Boss...Boss, our ship seems to be pulled by something!"
"What!"
When everyone looked down, they discovered that a tentacle's suction cup was clinging to the bottom of the ship at some point. The reason why they couldn't move forward was that the distance the tentacle stretched seemed to have reached its limit.
No way, this can’t be it!
The tentacles were quickly recovered in the next second, and then they were dragged into the deep sea with all the players' ships, and pulled back to the penultimate area they had just passed.
Is that a giant octopus? Jellyfish? Or squid?
【Clara】
[Level: Level 52]
[Race: Fallen Abyss "Residue"]
The squid's tentacles dragged the big dogs into the deep sea, but it didn't seem to kill them immediately, or was it not "attacking" them in the first place? In short, it was precisely because of this that the big native dog saw the scene under the sea.
That is...
One after another, the black tides that have filled the deep sea trenches are all, without exception, various types of abyssal creatures, many of which have mutated and have the ability to come ashore, and what is even more desperate is that they There are almost none below level 25.
The magic crystal ball that records everything is glowing in the dark deep sea, and disappears as the player's body dies.
[Ding, because you stayed underwater for too long, your health value was reset to zero, and you have died...]
[Ding, it has been detected that there is no resurrection area in your area, and you have been automatically transferred to the default location - "Sakuragi Island" for resurrection]
[Ding, you are punished by death and your level drops to...]
[Ding, congratulations on successfully completing the mission "Desperate Investigation", please go to your mission NPC "Fox-faced Witch" immediately to report]
