In the night of the fishing village, there was less than half an hour left. Wu Liao didn't quite understand, and when he saw Zhi Ge following him in, he asked, "Should I go in?"
"You stay outside." Su Mo took the lighting scroll and illuminated the situation in the cave thoroughly. Under the illumination of the lighting scroll, the marks on the wall were clearly visible, with layers of blue and gray, varying in depth.
After Zhi Ge came in, "What did you find?"
"The level of this cave should be similar to the sea level outside. It may even be affected by the high tide, causing the water surface inside to fluctuate." Su Mo walked and took photos. "Do you see the wall?"
Zhi Ge's eyes fell on the wall and he found some subtle marks on the mountain wall.
"The mountain wall that has been soaked by seawater has a different color from the mountain wall that has not been soaked by seawater. There is an obvious line here. You can follow it all the way to the cave entrance that was just blocked by rocks." Su Mo continued: "No matter how hidden the rocks are, a small amount of seawater will still seep through the cracks and enter the human bone cave. What does this mean?"
Zhi Ge reacted, "A small number of people who come close to this side have a chance to come into contact with sea water."
She immediately understood what Su Mo meant. There were too many corpses piled up here. Unless they were all moved away, it would be difficult for them to find out what was going on underneath. But this deliberately blocked hole was obviously to prevent newcomers from having the chance to come into contact with sea water.
Su Mo asked: "Are there any tools for bottling?"
Zhi Ge flipped through the prop bag, "Yes, I'll try it out."
Hong Guoguo and the others who were waiting for someone on the top of the cave were completely confused. As they waited, they saw someone climbing up the rope with a bottle prop in their hands.
The eyes of the people lying on the ground moved, and they caught a glimpse of what Su Mo was holding. Before they could say anything, they heard the summoner's concise command: "Zizi, pry open their mouths."
apple: “?”
Hong Guoguo immediately did as she was told, "Brother, where did you get this?"
Su Mo: "Sea water, give it a try."
In the holographic game world, everyone basically has the ability to swim, and drowning is very rare, let alone having seawater forced into your mouth. Qingfeng has never had such an experience in his life, and it choked him to death.
Qingfeng paused for a moment and said, "Is this okay? I won't get any other problems from drinking too much, right?"
"It's already like this, it's better than no cure." Hong Guoguo said: "Sister Zhige, is there any more? Qingfeng said he wants another pot."
Qingfeng: “???”
After drinking the sea water, the three people felt uncomfortable for a while. Suddenly, Qingfeng found that his hands were strong. "It seems to be working. My hands can move."
Apple asked: "Why can't I do that?"
"Maybe I didn't drink enough. Wait, I'll go down and decorate." Hong Guoguo bravely climbed down the rope. As soon as he went down, he fell into a pile of human bones. He had to struggle to the edge of the stone wall and slowly approached the cave entrance.
While observing other things in the cave, he simply filled his tank with water and walked out. Just as he grabbed the rope, he heard a loud noise from above, followed by a huge tentacle that smashed a hole high up in the cave and stretched directly into the cave to stir things.
The rumbling thunder broke through the wall, and danger broke out in an instant.
Hong Guoguo was hit directly, crashing into the wall and falling into the pile of human bones. "Oh my god! How did this hand get in from above!"
Su Mo ran out when he heard the sound, paused slightly when he saw the situation, and directly summoned two summoned beasts to help Hong Guoguo.
But the tentacle was obviously coming towards them. A series of sweeps swept several people who were unable to move on the high ground into the pile of human bones. Qingfeng, who had just recovered his strength and was still unable to stand, suffered a critical blow and fell into the pile, never to get up again.
"Zhi Ge, Wu Liao, find some people and drag them here." Su Mo kicked aside a few bones that were blocking the entrance of the cave to make way for them, and controlled a few summoned beasts and tentacles to buy time for his teammates.
The human bone cave is very large, and it takes a lot of time to find someone, not to mention having to swim through the sea of bones to the entrance of the cave.
Hong Guoguo was closer to Apple, so he dragged the man forward while grabbing onto the stone wall. "Damn! This thing hurts too much."
The tentacles that came in from above had obviously damaged the cave wall. Su Mo looked up and noticed that there was actually a place on the top that was only covered by a simple cover, which was opened by the tentacle. This big thing should be coming for them, following their breath all the way to this place. Its attack was completely different from that of the sea monster, and it almost lost 30% of its health after being swept away.
Su Mo decisively summoned the bear. The bear in the sea of bones provided a foothold for his teammates. "Come here, hurry up."
Wu Liao grabbed one person in each hand and ran forward.
"Wu Liao, this is the first time I think you're so manly." Qing Feng was touched and said, "From today on, I admit that you are a more powerful assassin than Xigua."
Wu Liao: "…Thank you. I am better than him anyway."
Zhi Ge followed him and used his skills to help him clear obstacles. "The bear's health is low, let's go."
Qingfeng turned his head to look at Zhige: "Sister Zhige, you are also very capable."
Under the cover of the summoned beast, the group of four fell into the cave together when the tentacles attacked. The tentacles on high ground suddenly lost their target and swept madly in the cave. Su Mo dragged a few people to a deeper place in the cave, which happened to be next to the sea water pool, and simply left them beside it to soak in the water.
Hong Guoguo had time to treat the others. The seven people in the group were in a very bad state. Except for the one who had a decent amount of health, the others were almost all at low health. If they really fought this tentacle head-on, they would probably be completely wiped out before they could hold on for long.
"Is this the boss? There's no way to defeat it." Hong Guoguo said, "I just got swept by it and it gave me a numbing feeling."
"It seems to be quiet." Zhi Ge said.
"The night time is over." Su Mo pointed to the taskbar, and the dark time on it was cleared to zero, and it turned into day time.
Daytime duration 01:59:02
[Donghai Fishing Village] seems to have returned to peace.
"Brother, where are you going?" Hong Guoguo paused slightly.
"Go out and take a look."
Su Mo walked out of the cave entrance nimbly, and as soon as he walked out, he saw the tentacles motionless in the cave. Seeing this situation, he became more determined in his opinion. At this moment, he suddenly received a series of email reminders, and when he opened them, they were all sent by Yu Zhen.
He just replied "yes" when suddenly a private voice chat popped up from the other party.
"Are you okay?"
As soon as Su Mo answered the phone, he heard Yu Zhen's low voice.
It had only been two hours since they last met, but when Su Mo heard his voice, he felt as if a weight had been lifted off his chest. "It's okay. We're relatively safe here."
"Brother, how is the situation over there? On the sea..."
Yu Zhen said: "There is no problem at sea, the problem now is the world boss."
Friends' emails and external chats were restored, but the built-in team voice was not restored. Su Mo exchanged information with Yu Zhen, and finally understood the situation of this strange mission.
The world boss is related to the 5-star anecdote mission in the East China Sea Fishing Village that they are doing. After they released the world boss, it had a very big impact on the game map outside the scene. The difficulty of the new world boss, the Lord of the Deep Sea, is completely incomparable to other world bosses in Tianhuan before. After fighting for more than an hour in the outside world, his health was only reduced by 5%. Moreover, after arriving at the stronghold occupied by the Fruit Gang, the Lord of the Deep Sea began to snatch the remaining resources. These resources not only restored his health, but also enhanced his combat effectiveness.
"The Fruit Gang's base was stolen?" Su Mo was surprised.
Yu Zhen explained: "There is only a little left, most of it has been transferred, and there is no major problem."
The Lord of the Deep Sea is very powerful, on the one hand because of its complex skill mechanism, on the other hand because of its very high defense, and it can also be killed by plundering resources. All players in the server have received the task of [Subjugating the Lord of the Deep Sea]. More and more players are gathering in the small fishing village in the East China Sea, but the difficulty of the monster has not decreased.
In addition, after comparing with Yu Zhen, he was able to sort out some information.
1. The rotation of night and day is 2 hours. During the night, the wild monsters in their fishing village and the bosses in the outside world will become ferocious. During the day, they return to peace, while the bosses in the outside world remain motionless and their defense becomes very high.
2. The side quest of Honey Roast Goose is actually a prerequisite for the boss quest in the East China Sea area. After completing the quest here, they should obtain the corresponding information to facilitate all players in the server to defeat the world boss.
To put it simply, by completing missions they can obtain information about the Lord of the Deep Sea, or methods to crack the Lord of the Deep Sea's defenses.
This is no longer a simple anecdote mission, but a server-wide mission. I'm afraid that from the very beginning of the branch mission, the mastermind has already planned to let the task group and the crusade group work together. Moreover, this anecdote is not the only one. Before the first pass, outside players also have the opportunity to trigger the entry into the anecdote mission scene by completing side quests.
In short, this strange mission must be completed first, and then the boss outside will become easier.
Yu Zhen: "Preliminary tasks... It is very likely that you entered a certain stage in advance and skipped part of the plot, which triggered the boss first."
Su Mo paused for a moment after hearing this, "Then we should go back to the beginning of the scene. Perhaps we have overlooked part of the plot."
"It should be." Yu Zhen said, "After asking for permission from Roast Goose, we have obtained a list of side quests, but we are not sure if there is a quest order or other order. It is very difficult. Several elite teams have already set out. At present, you are the shortest hope to complete it."
When Su Mo heard this, he had a strange guess in his mind, "You said the boss robbed the resource base and then stopped? Did it break into the safe zone directly?"
"Yes." Yu Zhen thought for a moment and continued, "The East China Sea stronghold will produce many kinds of resource materials. We can't be sure what it is attracted to, but the materials in the stronghold have been cleared out."
Su Mo frowned slightly, "If I remember correctly, the small fishing village in the East Sea is not far from Sunset City, right?"
"Yes, it's not far away. It will take about two or three minutes to get there by teleport. The boss can't teleport, and the players are blocking it. It will probably take an hour or so for it to move there."
Su Mo uttered "Oh" twice, "Maybe he will go into Sunset City."
He asked again: "How is the boss?"
Yu Zhen: "It didn't move. Its defense was very high. We basically couldn't suppress its health. It was difficult for us to get close to it before. Melee combat was useless. Being hit by its tentacles would cause numbness."
"Numb?" Su Mo glanced at the cave, "Brother, why don't you try to throw it into the sea? It might work."
Yu Zhen glanced at the players around him who were still trying to kill monsters, and said, "Time is almost up. Is the daytime two hours?"
Su Mo checked the time and said, "Yes... I will be offline soon. I guess the progress here is not that fast."
He suddenly remembered, "Brother, why don't you log in to my account later and take a look."
Yu Zhen heard the boy's slightly excited voice in the voice chat and couldn't help but say, "Okay."
Inside the Human Bone Cave, three people who were bathing in the sea gradually regained consciousness.
Hong Guoguo peeked out of the cave and found his brother standing somewhere outside without moving. He whispered to Zhige, "What is my brother doing? Why is he standing still?"
"My friend's email has been restored. I just received a message from outside."
Zhi Ge thought for a moment, "Should he be chatting with someone outside?"
Wu Liao was also curious: "Who are you talking to? It's been 20 minutes."
Hearing this, Hong Guoguo tilted her head and looked at Wu Liao, "Who else could it be? It must be my brother Xing."
"What?" Qingfeng stood up with the help of the wall, and his body gradually regained consciousness. "Is my brother chatting with someone?"
Bear Biscuit: “… ?”
Apple sighed: "Beauty can be misleading."
"Are you done talking? Are you ready to move? Assassin, come with me to look for clues. I'll go offline to have a meal in a while." Su Mo switched to the team channel and saw Apple and Little Bear still lying in the sea water pool. He briefly told them about the situation outside. Several people were shocked after hearing it. They didn't expect that the boss of the outside world would have an intersection with them.
Hong Guoguo said, "Brother, then you should go eat early while it's still daytime."
Qingfeng: "Yes, yes, you should finish eating early and come back to protect us."
Su Mo: "…It's not time for dinner yet."
Hong Guoguo: "We can eat it in advance."
"Wait... Boss." Apple finally realized, "Did our gang get robbed?"
"No, I heard there are still some left." Su Mo said nonchalantly: "After stealing your base, they should go to Sunset City."
"Why go to Sunset City?"
Su Mo explained: "There are bases of other guilds near Sunset City, and Sunset City itself has a lot of resources. We have already sent a message on the world channel, asking the players inside to withdraw their resources first."
Hong Guoguo suddenly remembered: "What the hell!? Sunset City, wait... I still have a dozen small accounts setting up stalls and hanging up over there!!"
In the East China Sea fishing village, the Lord of the Deep Sea who climbed up the mountain did not stop, and a group of players were attacking on the way up the mountain.
Yu Zhen hung up the voice chat with Su Mo and explained the situation to Ta Yunzhong and the others, "I guess we have to wait and see what progress they have inside. We can only think of a way to stop them."
"Then how do we deal with this boss?" asked Ta Yunzhong.
Yu Zhen looked at the distance between the sea and this side and said, "Then try the method I mentioned."
The elite groups outside the East China Sea stronghold had all their mana depleted, but the health of the giant octopus hadn't dropped at all. With so many players from all servers here, they couldn't defeat the boss at all. When it was moving, it was still able to fight, but when it wasn't moving, it was like an iron wall. The leaders of several elite groups gathered together, and the gangs had temporarily ceased fighting, and were working together to find a solution.
At this time, the management team at the front line received news—
"The bosses said to find a way to throw this monster back into the sea."
The author has something to say: Bitter melon: The melon has a new life!
Watermelon who is killing monsters on the front line:
Bitter Melon: Move the boss!
———
The East China Sea Fishing Village is a server-wide activity, which is mainly about finding mechanisms and information points, and directing the boss crusade outside.
One is a mission anecdote, and the other is a world boss subjugation. The pace is a bit slow at the beginning, but it gets faster later on when you fight the boss!
The next chapter will enter the boss plot√, see you tomorrow.
