The joy and excitement of successfully defending the third wave is slowly fading, and the people and players of Qiandao have returned to a state of intense preparation to brace themselves for the fourth wave.
This phenomenon is the same as in the previous waves. After all, everyone knows that it is far from the time to celebrate after the disaster. There will be two more severe and cruel waves of offensive waiting for them.
However...
As time goes on, the first day after the third wave, the third day...the fifth day.
The troops who came from the rear to supply supplies had already quickly regrouped and returned to the front line the next day.
Various defensive facilities that were consumed in the third wave of defensive battles have been corrected and redeployed on the third day.
Even on the fourth day, Sanfengxing had been urgently recruiting and training a batch of temporary recruits from the private sector, and they were all sent over by transport ship.
Let’s not talk about the combat effectiveness, but at least it has expanded the size of the army, which can inspire military morale in terms of the number of battles.
And on the fifth day, Liz proposed to take the lead on Sakuragi Island, prepare funds, and entrust it to the Zhao Chamber of Commerce for execution. Captain Nan of the Northern Cross served as a guest and provided technical guidance. Finally, under the influence of a large number of excited strangers, day and night, With a strong labor force, Sakuragi Island finally had its own simple shipyard.
Unlike Sanfengxing, the shipyard on Sakuragi Island is specially prepared for foreigners, which is why the players are so motivated.
Maritime warships tailor-made for foreigners are brand new from Sakuragi Island. Compared with ordinary warships, they have simpler operations and more agile movement speeds.
At this point, players finally no longer need to keep chasing Sanfengxing's ships, but can also purchase their own maritime battleships from Sakuragi Island.
However, due to technical problems, the maximum specifications that can be provided to players now are only small and medium-sized, but this is enough to make major guilds flock to it.
Just imagine, being able to drive a warship of your own guild on the sea and sailing on a fierce battlefield, that would be so cool, right? This is the best way to build a guild's reputation.
Originally, Sakuragi Island was considered by the players to be the base camp of their "strangers" in Thousand Islands. However, after Liz issued the "ship purchase permission order", it can be said that it has directly risen to the level of "holy land". .
Not to mention the local players of Thousand Islands, even the players from the Yanyu next door wanted to come and make a "pilgrimage". They shouted wildly on the forum, asking the officials not to be ignorant and quickly open the next batch of tickets to Thousand Islands. Support the fleet so that they can also go to Sakuragi Island to purchase a maritime warship of their own.
Seeing the greedy looks of the Yanyu players next door, the Qiandao players who were the first batch of battleships were definitely extremely proud of themselves. They were all gearing up and couldn't wait to try their hand at Fallen Abyss.
But...but...
Yes.
That's where the problem lies... No, it can't be said to be a problem.
All in all, it’s already been the fifth day, but the fourth wave of falling into the abyss has not appeared yet!
After adequate rest and repair, the entire front line defense force was fully armed and highly motivated. What they faced was...
A calm sea.
Waiting for the fifth day, the sixth day passed.
A full week has passed since the third wave of the Fall into the Abyss.
But Qiandao Fang is still around the defense line, and there is not even a shadow of the monster that fell into the abyss!
this...
Not only was San Fengxing confused, but the players who were gearing up were stunned, and even the little wolf cub was stunned by this unprecedented phenomenon.
What does it mean?
Ended early?
However, the fact is that as early as the next day, Vivian has issued many reconnaissance missions to the players. The news from the players is that all the Fallen Abyss army is still there, and there are still a lot of people in the lair. One piece, countless monsters.
But the weird thing is...
They just stayed in their lair and seemed to be in a confrontation with Qiandao...?
"Vivian, what do you think?" In the military camp on the front line, Liu Daoluo looked at the little girl with questioning eyes.
In the past few days, the high-ranking generals under the leadership of Da Zu have been engaged in various discussions and analyzes because of this.
By analyzing the video records sent by the strangers before, they also came to the same conclusion as Liz and Shirley at that time, that is, the octopus that fell into the abyss was likely to be an intelligent creature.
Today's abnormal phenomena may seem very strange, but on the other hand, they seem to be able to prove their speculation above.
So for now, there is one conclusion that everyone agrees with.
The only person who can control those violent, cruel and aggressive Abyss creatures is their leader, that is to say, the Abyss octopus who forcibly suppressed the original Abyss offensive and deliberately stood still, leading to the current situation. .
The next question that arises is...
Why does it do this?
What is it planning and plotting?
"Luo Sui, I have a suggestion. I want to... go there in person!" Vivian took a deep breath and finally expressed her decision in public.
"Go there in person? Wait a minute, you mean you want to go deep into the waters of the Fallen Abyss territory alone?"
Vivian nodded.
"No! Absolutely not! This is too risky!" Unsurprisingly, Luo Sui of Six Paths subconsciously spoke out in opposition.
Although most of the generals in the military camp did not dare to speak directly, it could be seen from their expressions that they were the same as Liu Dao Luo Sui.
The reason is also very simple, Vivian's importance is too high.
Whether it's the reputation of the fox-faced witch among the strangers, or the sheer personal strength of the little girl, and after the third wave, now she has to add that extremely destructive secret weapon.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Thousand Islands cannot be without the fox-faced witch.
So of course they strongly opposed Vivian's risky and radical choice. If something happened to the little girl, it would be bad news for the entire Thousand Islands.
"Vivian, have you ever thought that this might be the purpose of the leader of the Fallen Abyss? Just to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Liudao Luosuo knew the little girl's stubbornness, so he was a little anxious to dissuade her.
"And if you are doing this for investigation, wouldn't it be better to just continue to let people from foreign lands go?"
Vivian still shook her head.
In the beginning, the reason why the Strangers were able to penetrate deeply and bring video records was because the Abyssal Army had not yet spread out at that time. Today's Strangers, let alone the fourth sea area, cannot even break through the first sea area. They are all densely packed with Fallen Abyss troops. It can be seen from the intelligence these days that they cannot bring back any useful information at all.
"Don't worry, Luo Sui. I know it in my heart. I will retreat immediately if I encounter danger. If things don't work out and Xiao Hei is by my side, even if Zuoyuan really wants to stop us, it won't be that easy. Besides..."
"This time, in addition to Xiao Hei and I, there will be another friend from Yanyu traveling with me. Her strength is not inferior to mine, and she is also an expert in the study of falling into the abyss! She...how should I say, in short Luo Sui, you can understand that she has a way to make us invisible behind enemy lines in the Fallen Abyss and sneak in easily without being noticed!"
The expert in Vivian's mouth naturally refers to Shirley. The little wolf cub asked her to come to the front line with the little girl just in case. Now it seems that this decision is very wise.
On the other side, seeing that Vivian had made up her mind, Liu Dao Luo was hesitant to say anything. In the end, he could only give numerous instructions and mobilize elite troops on the periphery, ready to respond to the little girl at any time.
After all, to be honest, the Fall into the Abyss can be delayed indefinitely, but Thousand Islands cannot. Now the entire population is crowded on four or five shelter islands. In the short term, it can be supported by spare supplies. But once it goes forward, the original use of How could a population supported by thirty or forty islands be supported by just four islands?
But if the residents are allowed to go back, it will be equivalent to the collapse of the entire defense line. If the Fallen Abyss suddenly attacks again at this time, the previous waves of perfect defense will be in vain.
Therefore, no matter what, this disaster must be compressed and ended within no more than a month. Otherwise, even if Thousand Islands survives, their vitality will be severely damaged and chaos will begin.
Liu Dao Luo Sui knew this, and so did Vivian. I'm afraid this was the reason why the little girl chose such a risky approach.
Two hours later.
A small warship quietly sailed out from Sanfengxing's defense line. After crossing the critical sea area, it finally arrived at the dark sea area shrouded in dark clouds, the territory of Fallen Abyss.
"Shirley, the rest is up to you."
After Vivian on the boat asked her in a low voice, another white-haired woman traveling with her nodded and walked out of the cabin.
It can be seen that waves and ripples have appeared on the sea surface not far away. It is obvious that an underwater abyss creature has discovered them and is swimming towards them at a very fast speed.
If it were the players and the ordinary Thousand Island Army, they would either escape or fight at this time, but Shirley's presence gave Vivian a third option.
Shirley came to the highest bow of the ship, closed her eyes, and after taking a deep breath, a familiar evil and dark aura emanated from the body of the white-haired woman.
The void behind the woman began to twist and fluctuate irregularly and violently, and soon, a black crystallized phantom wing of the Fallen Abyss gradually condensed.
At the same time, Shirley's pupils suddenly vibrated and turned into an abyss of ink black. In the darkness, the scarlet color that best symbolized the abyss grew. The only difference was that it was less brutal.
Buzz!
Shirley stepped lightly on the tip of the ship with her bare feet, then flapped the abyss-falling wings behind her, and her whole body instantly rose into the air, floating above the battleship.
This is why Vivian took a boat and specifically chose the smallest one.
Shirley easily used her aura of falling into the abyss to cover the ships below, and then went back on her own.
Doing so will not only stop the abyssal creatures swimming to attack and scatter back as if nothing happened, but more importantly, it can also package them into dead objects.
Shirley had the ability to forcibly control these fallen creatures, but the reason why she didn't do this was to avoid disturbing the situation.
Having had experience in the Flame Domain, Fallen Abyss is somewhat similar to the neural network of an insect swarm. Once his subordinates lose control, the leader will be able to detect it immediately.
In this way, under the cover of Shirley's aura, the boat of Vivian and her group passed through the first three sea areas smoothly as planned.
finally.
The fourth sea area, the territory of the octopus, appeared in front of everyone, and they could tell it immediately without even looking at the map. The reason is very simple...
In the first three sea areas, their boats came from the monsters in the Fallen Abyss and almost rubbed against the monsters' bodies, but after reaching the fourth sea area.
Nothing.
What was the image that the players sent back then, almost half a month later, this place is still the same.
The boat continued sailing, but this time it deliberately slowed down. However, when they were almost out of the fourth sea area, nothing happened.
Just when they were about to enter the fifth sea area, which was the territory of the big snake at the source of the Fallen Abyss, the players were attacked by the octopus when they were here, but now they are...unimpeded.
In desperation, he was forced to turn back. He didn't even understand the fourth leader, so he rashly went to the final snake. It was obviously not a wise choice.
But there is no way to continue like this, it is equivalent to gaining nothing.
then...
Vivian gritted her teeth and made another bold suggestion: "Shirley, try it... take your breath back."
"Can..."
Shirley could see that there was still some hesitation, and she turned her eyes towards the little wolf cub. After the little wolf cub nodded in agreement, Shirley finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and the aura of the abyss that enveloped the ship began to dissipate rapidly in an instant.
However, it can be seen that Shirley is still very vigilant. She has never exited the abyss state and is ready to fight at any time...
The words are not finished yet.
A pair of abyss-falling claws entangled in filthy black mist, used as combat weapons, condensed on Shirley's hands at an extremely fast speed.
She had no time to explain, and her red and black eyes were fixed on the water of their ship.
"It's... coming!"
As soon as the words of warning were spoken, a tentacle shot out from the depths of the seabed at high speed. It brought up a strong current and headed straight towards the boat where everyone was.
It can be clearly felt that it is different from the previous players, because at that time, the tentacles were attached to the bottom of the ship and then began to be dragged into the deep sea. The whole process did not even scratch the hull of the ship.
But this time...
Bang!
Along with the sound of the bottom of the ship exploding, sawdust flew everywhere, and a big hole was penetrated from below. The ship disintegrated directly under the huge force, and was split in two by the tentacles.
Vivian and Shirley happened to be at both ends of the boat. In order to avoid the attack, they were forced to separate and float into the air, one on the left and the other on the right.
How...
Vivian clenched her fists tightly, with a look of disappointment and gloom on her face, because this aggressive move of the octopus had almost proved that the "goodwill" guess she had been hoping for in her heart was wrong. Zhu Liudao Luo Sui didn't dare to say it. In fact, what she really wanted to do was to try to "negotiate and communicate" with a leader of the Fallen Abyss. It was even more naive and ridiculous.
It's too late to blame myself and regret anymore.
Vivian needs to rush to support Shirley.
Because all I saw was that after the initial blow was successful, the tentacle did not stop, and immediately reversed its direction, heading straight in the direction of Shirley... and lashed out hard!
