The wind and rain were getting stronger and stronger, and the rumbling thunder seemed to foreshadow a certain outcome. Wu Liao glanced at his teammates and finally understood what they meant. He then turned his head to look at the endless fish monsters in the woods. At a certain moment, he felt as if a mountain was piled on his shoulders.
"Will this work?" Wu Liao was not sure.
Hong Guoguo continued to urge: "It's possible. Watermelon's blood is thinner than yours, and you are the number one assassin, but your skills are worse than Watermelon's?"
Qingfeng: "Yeah, if they died halfway, they would be worse than watermelons."
Zhi Ge added: "Xigua is still reliable in pulling monsters, and Wu Liao should not be worse than him."
Wu Liao: “…” Fuck!
He immediately activated his state and rushed out.
Qingfeng: "Brother, you are so passionate!"
Hong Guoguo couldn't help but sigh and recite a poem: "Ten years as an assassin, the blood is still hot."
Apple: "It's not easy to be the best in a sect."
Su Mo was surprised to see him rushing forward, and couldn't help but praise him: "Wu Liao is good, he has great execution ability."
The assassin's figure disappeared into the woods, and the surrounding fish monsters made creepy noises and rushed towards the assassin's direction. Zhi Ge did not hesitate, and after making sure that all the fish monsters were taken away, he immediately led the way to the cave discovered during the day.
The cave was not far from them, and Su Mo and others arrived there quickly. They saw a cave entrance in the crevice of the mountain wall that was only wide enough for one person to pass through. The location was indeed clever. The fish monster outside was large in size and obviously could not enter through such an entrance. Perhaps this location was reserved in advance by the main brain and was also part of this mission.
The three of them sent their teammates into the cave one after another. The cave was very spacious and even had a small path leading to an unknown place. Seeing this, Su Mo was more certain that this place was not simple. He sent a text message to Wu Liao in the team channel, asking him to prepare to retreat, while he carefully observed the appearance of the cave.
"Xiao Xiong, how about the roast goose mission? My brother only gave me a rough idea." Hong Guoguo said after sitting down, "Why do I feel this place is weird?"
Little Bear briefly explained the prerequisite tasks.
The strange story mission accepted by Honey Roast Goose is centered around the East China Sea fishing village. The previous mission is because he was accidentally injured and entered the small fishing village. He was taken care of by the villagers and recovered his health. He helped the villagers drive away the monsters in the nearby mountains and forests, thus gaining the trust of the villagers and knowing the story of the practitioner in the small fishing village.
It was rumored that a cultivator with outstanding talent appeared in the small fishing village. He was noticed by the great elder of the Lishan Sword Sect and accepted as his last disciple. He rose to fame. In the remote villages around the East China Sea, the emergence of a cultivator was a big deal. According to insiders, this cultivator got a chance in the small fishing village and was noticed by the great elder, which attracted more and more cultivators to explore the small fishing village.
"We did this, and then the villagers told us that if we wanted to get the chance, we had to go find Liu Da. But after receiving this mission, the 10-person team icon appeared in our task list." Little Bear continued, "So we came to find you now."
"The Grand Elder of the Lishan Sword Sect..." Apple couldn't help but say, "Is that awesome? I'm the former first disciple of the Sect Master!"
Hong Guoguo asked: "The sect's first disciple?"
Qingfeng explained to him: "There are two first-class schools under the Lishan Sword Sect. There are two first disciples, one for physical sword and one for magic sword. The physical sword is 'Kong', and the magic sword is 'Number One in the World'."
Apple: "But he won't be soon."
Hong Guoguo: "Your sword sect has a first-class sect and even gives out the title of first disciple. Big sects are just different."
While they were chatting, the invisible Wu Liao squeezed in from the crack of the mountain wall with low health. The fish monsters outside looked ordinary, but it was painful to attack the assassin. The assassin had low defense to begin with, and even if the health was higher, it could not withstand so many fish monsters chasing and attacking.
Wu Liao is proficient in PVP and PVE. He used to be able to run away in stealth in the battlefield, but when he went to the dungeon to pull monsters, his teammates were not safe and he could not leave the battle.
He had never been so miserable before.
We finally found a cave and entered it, but there were a bunch of people sitting there talking about the sect's first disciple. No one reminded us to heal him. With the amount of health he has now, he can be killed instantly with just one small skill, right
Before he could even open his mouth to ask for milk, a cool breeze suddenly blew past him, and then with a whoosh, a prompt popped up in front of him—
You are dead
Wu Liao: “????”
Death will instantly deplete the team's health. Su Mo reacted immediately and turned around to see Wu Liao's body near the crack. He paused for a moment, "The place where you died is indeed quite obvious."
Wu Liao: "… Save him."
Hong Guoguo ran over in a hurry, "Brother, why are you dead here?"
He was halfway through his run when he heard a strange noise and took a few steps back.
At this moment, a tentacle suddenly jumped out from the crack of the cave entrance. As soon as it entered the cave, it swept around and knocked Wu Liao, who was closest to it, away.
"What the hell!" Qingfeng was motionless, "What the hell is this!?"
Hong Guoguo took the opportunity to rescue Wu Liao, gave him a mouthful of milk, and quickly ran back. Along the way, she also pulled up Qingfeng who was lying on the ground, and dragged him to a safe place. Looking at the tentacles that suddenly appeared, she was very uncomfortable, "Why are there monsters coming over here all of a sudden? Did you attract them, Wu Liao?"
Wu Liao: "??? I've never seen anything like this in the pile of fish I pulled."
Can he be blamed for this? None of the fish monsters he pulled had such long arms, and he was sure he was out of the fight, but this thing came out of nowhere and could kill him with one move even through the mountain wall.
Su Mo said quickly: "Take the people with you and go inside. If you stay outside, it will hit you."
The others quickly set off, taking the three immobile teammates with them. As they went deeper, the tentacle outside the mountain wall stopped attacking them. Hong Guoguo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had never done such a mission before. Everything was so ridiculous. It was not like fighting a boss, where you could just fight the boss directly. The twists and turns and the split into two teams, half of the teammates lost their ability to fight... How could they understand this kind of gameplay
"It should be safe now, right?" Hong Guoguo asked.
"No." Su Mo glanced behind him, "Do you think that monster suddenly appeared just to attack us? It's obvious that it appeared just to force us to go inside."
The others didn't understand what Su Mo meant, but as they walked about ten meters into the cave, they saw countless bones piled up in a sunken cave, and an eerie and terrifying atmosphere spread in an instant.
"This mountain is for burying corpses!" Qingfeng said, "Wait, it forced us in here, isn't it trying to kill us?"
Su Mo glanced at the task list. The current task was still at the countdown to night, which meant that their main task was to survive in this night scene. However, the flow of time in this scene was obviously abnormal. Even though the flow of time in the game world was faster, there had not been a 2-hour night so far.
"When we first entered the scene, was it a special scene?" Su Mo frowned, "Or was the place we walked into a small fishing village in the East China Sea?"
"That should be the case. There were other players doing quests nearby at the time, and the East China Sea Fishing Village map has always existed. I also met many NPCs and players on the way." Qingfeng added: "Brother, do you suspect that we entered a special scene from the beginning?"
Little Bear asked, "Is there any difference? Isn't it normal to enter the scene during the mission?"
During the game mission, entering the scene was indeed a very normal thing, including when the night countdown appeared at the beginning, they did not feel that there was anything wrong, and there was nothing wrong with entering the scene. Everything was very normal...
"What if, for example, it's not the people at sea who have lost contact, but us?"
Su Mo frowned slightly, "Maybe we have entered a special world constructed by the main brain."
When the other people in the team heard this and looked at the gloomy scene around them, they felt a chill down their spines.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Hong Guoguo asked. In their team, only four people were still capable of fighting.
But at this time, he did not stop and said, "Go and have a look ahead."
Below the stone road where they were was a sea of bones piled up layer by layer, and at the end of the stone road stood a blue-gray stone platform as high as a person's knee.
Su Mo saw that the stone platform was covered with lime and there seemed to be a totem underneath. He reached out and wiped off the lime. After a while, the gray faded away and the green totem gradually lit up.
-*
In a small fishing village in the East China Sea, the sun is shining brightly and the fishing boats that have gone out have returned to the shore.
Yu Zhen stood on the shore and communicated with several fishermen. The positions of his teammates in the team list were unknown. He could not contact other teammates through the voice channel, text channel, or email in the friend system.
"What's going on? Why did they lose contact?" Shao'e went to the sea to look for Liu Da but couldn't find him. When he came back, his teammates were completely gone. When he asked the fisherman next to him, he just said that they had returned to the small fishing village.
Wizard Xianyu ran over from the other side and said, "I went to the village to ask the NPCs, and they said they had never seen anyone enter the village. I also ran around the fishing village and couldn't find anyone."
Yu Zhen closed the chat message with Ta Yunzhong and asked, "Can we teleport back to the main city?"
"No problem, the transmission function here can be used normally." Roast Goose asked: "Is there any problem with this?"
"The time is wrong." Yu Zhen glanced at the sky. "It was evening when we went out to sea, and noon when we came back. If we can communicate and transmit normally, we are in a normal scene, while they have entered a special scene."
Roast Goose paused: "They should be fine if they enter special scenes, right?"
"But if this special scenario is not simple... then there will be a big problem." Yu Zhen glanced at the resurrection charm in the package, then looked at the team list, "Have you ever imagined a problem? Special scenarios have special rules. Putting aside our team, if it is a normal 10th group with two tanks and two healers, how would you allocate them when encountering a split-line mission?"
Roasted Goose: "... Distribution? Then it should be one tank, one dps, and one healer."
Wizard Xianyu reacted: "Reducing the healing and tanking is equivalent to reducing the amount of healing, and the chance of error is reduced."
"And the healer we left inside is a therapist with a resurrection CD of 10 minutes." Yu Zhen then realized that the main brain had been tricking them from the very beginning. Maybe when they were communicating with Liu Da, they had already encountered a special scene and entered the dimension of dusk time. By the time they chose to take the boat out, they had actually left that scene and returned to the normal time trajectory.
From personnel allocation to scenes, we first made them mistakenly believe that branch missions would be more dangerous, so we assigned the main force and treatment out, and then used the scenes to induce them to think that the mission scenes were no different from ordinary scenes, and that elixirs, resurrection talismans and the like could be used normally.
So now it is possible that the 7 people in the scene have to face the pressure of a group of 10 people.
"Look for clues. Take us through the process of your original pre-mission." Yu Zhen frowned slightly. "We are running out of time. Hurry up."
Roast Goose suddenly became nervous, "What will happen after some time?"
Yu Zhen looked at him, "It's not gaming time. The normal time now is around 3:00 p.m. or 4:00 p.m. I log off at 5:30 to eat."
Roast Goose: "... I almost forgot the schedule. Little Bear said we should rest at 5:30 at the latest."
Salted Fish: “?”
In other words, if we don't get in quickly, once the time is up our leader will fall behind and there might be 6 people against 10 people inside.
The few of them turned around and returned to the vicinity of the small fishing village, where they met Ta Yunzhong who had received an email. Ta Yunzhong liked to study all kinds of strange and bizarre things, and when he heard Yu Zhen talk about the use of the main brain and the time-induced team allocation, he immediately rushed to the small fishing village to check the situation...
"Generally speaking, when a strange mechanism appears, there will usually be a special gameplay. For example, when Zong Tianqi just started, it was also a strange mission." Ta Yunzhong continued: "When the Soul-Separating Four Symbols, it directly opened the faction system. The mission you accepted may not be simple. It may trigger other hidden gameplay. The triggering opportunity may be related to the side quest near the small fishing village."
Ta Yunzhong asked: "Roast Goose, do you mind sharing the task list with us? We can exchange materials or gold coins for information."
There are endless side quests in the game, and you can complete the main quest and wait for updates, but there are endless side quests, and even an NPC on the road may be the target of a quest. Therefore, there are some story-loving players in Tianhuan game who like to run around the map to follow the story.
Honey Roast Goose happened to be such a player. He did encounter the [East China Sea Fishing Village] series of tasks while completing the side quests. When he heard what Ta Yunzhong said, he hurriedly said, "It's okay. I can't complete this task by myself. I had to ask the big guys for help. I'll send you the completed task list. It's also a good thing to find clues."
At this time, Xianyu suddenly said, "Wait, look at the sea, is there something coming over?"
There are usually not many people around the small fishing village, but there is a resource base for gang wars near the East China Sea. It used to be the base of the Heaven Realm, but it happened to be seized by the Fruit Gang during this period. Watermelon brought his gang members to the base to transport resources today, but as soon as he arrived nearby, he heard his teammates say that they saw Ta Yunzhong and Xingzhi Wujiu nearby.
"Deputy, they seem to be doing something strange. Do you want to go over and ask what's going on?" asked the gang member.
Xigua immediately refused upon hearing this, "Why are you going? Stop watching the fun and be careful not to get caught up in it."
The gang member said again: "Don't worry, Deputy Gangster, I only saw that he behaved freely, I didn't see anything."
When Xigua logged in at noon, he received a message from Apple, asking him why he didn't log in in the morning. When he needed an assassin in the group, there was no one, so he finally formed a group with Wu Liao. After hearing what Apple said, he didn't log in until three in the afternoon. As soon as he logged in, he immediately took over Strawberry's job and ran to Donghai to do the hard labor of carrying things.
Hearing the gang members say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Really not here?"
“No.”
Xigua said: "Then let's go over and take a look after we move..."
He was halfway through his words when he saw a huge figure approaching from the sea in the distance, "Fuck, what is that?"
When the gang members climbed to a higher place and took a look, they were also dumbfounded. "Deputy, it's a giant octopus. Wait... it seems to be coming towards us."
watermelon:"???"
At this moment, everyone suddenly saw a golden announcement.
Server-wide announcement: Players discovered the [Trembling Sea Monster] in the fishing village at night, triggered the Human Bone Cave Sea Monster Totem, and successfully awakened the East China Sea world boss [Lord of the Deep Sea]. Wherever the Lord of the Deep Sea passes, all living things are destroyed. Practitioners from all over the Tianhuan Continent, please rush to the East China Sea as soon as possible to expel him!
The author has something to say: The second update will be in the evening! I will continue to work hard!
