Although there was no activity information from Xi Wei, many players responded to Edward's call and came to the volcano area.
This is not something incomprehensible.
According to the general game, the players have entered the long grass period for quite a long time, and the official (Xi Wei) has not announced the news of the new event for a long time, so after recovering from the explosive state of the previous event, they instead I'm starting to feel a little bored, and can't wait to start a new round of blasting liver.
Players are such existences. When the tasks are heavy, they feel that the planning is overwhelming, and when they are in the rough period, they feel boring, and it is quite difficult to serve.
If you are a player on Earth, you will probably AFK for a while when you encounter this kind of situation, and find other games to play.
But in this world, players obviously can't do this, they can only do their best to have fun within the limits.
Now that the situation of "Dayi is on our side" has happened, it is only natural that they will gather spontaneously under Edward's call.
"So what the hell are we supposed to do?"
Teshrop and his partner Bessie asked Edward. He drew his weapon and was eager to try: "Is it to destroy those worm-like monsters?"
The other players also looked at Edward, waiting for his instructions. In the previous events, Edward's prestige as a guide had already been established among the players.
Of course, not all players are so obedient. Some players with strong autonomy have already gone to try to hunt the maggots.
However, this kind of monster has a divine power like a shield, so that it has a high degree of immunity to attacks against the lower realm. Even the first echelon players above level 45 can only deal two damage when hitting it. digits only.
If you want to solve this thing by scraping, you need a lot of patience and durable equipment...
It's just that after a player complained more than 3,000 words on the forum after being swallowed by rotten maggots and was resurrected in a remote, unnamed town, Edward's worries also disappeared. Disappeared—because this action seems to have not been approved by the God of the Game, but was organized by the players themselves. It would be too fucked if there is no way to resurrect the dead.
"No matter what, let's stop them from spreading outwards. A monster of this level can destroy a village with just one!"
Edward also doesn't like remote control and micro-manipulation. He knows that too many commands are only a constraint for players with strong subjective initiative, so he said in a simple and understandable way: "No matter the method, it's okay to kill it, but it's best to try to kill it. Capture, this thing is not an elite or a boss, there should be no restrictions on taming, players with life skills of taming animals can try to see if they can be tamed."
After all, there is nothing to drop from killing the rotten maggots, only the experience is quite rich, which is good news for the first-line players who have a high level of per capita and have experience punishment for dealing with miscellaneous fish monsters, but this way There is no way to get new leads.
On the other hand, as long as you can tame the rotten maggot, you might be able to get information about the fire god Ignis Dorag from the other party.
Without the guidance of the God of Games, even such a simple thing would take a lot of effort, and it may not even be possible to get a corresponding reward.
Thinking of this, Edward couldn't help but have a higher level of respect and worship for the God of Games.
After receiving his instructions, the players began to organize spontaneously, trying to capture those disgusting-looking worm monsters.
But it turns out that divinity, at least in this world, is not a complete debuff. It not only has high damage reduction, but also has strong resistance to life skills such as domestication.
In addition, the rotten maggot itself has rough skin and thick flesh, and its attack action is also mixed with an instant death attack swallowed by it, which is quite difficult to deal with.
The capture and domestication team formed by some players even fought to the last person, but they failed to capture a rotten maggot in a real sense.
Just when Edward thought that rotten maggots could not be tamed like special creatures like elite bosses, good news came.
It was still the koi duo formed by Teshrop and Bessie that brought back the news.
"It's not so much that we domesticated it successfully, but rather that it was actively domesticated by us."
When Edward and the others arrived there, Teshrop told him very sincerely.
"Active? This thing can't communicate at all, right?"
Goudan said in surprise.
Even the murlocs from Murloc Island can squeak twice when they run out, but the rot maggot is a pure alien monster, it doesn't even make a sound, only it makes a scalp-numbing sticky noise when it moves. sound.
"It's hard for me to explain this to you, but you'll know it after reading it."
Teshrop moved out of the way, allowing them to see a rotting maggot slightly smaller than a bull in the rear—among all the rot maggots that have appeared so far, this type of body is quite small.
Rot Maggot(?), Level 33
"what?"
Looking at the question mark in the name floating out of the opponent's head, Edward couldn't help but make a voice of doubt.
Sure enough, the actions of this rotten maggot didn't seem to be as frantic as its kind, but it was very quiet like a giant worm, without much movement.
When Edward and the others approached, it seemed to squirm a little anxiously, and the dancing speed of the short and slender tentacles on its body also became faster.
Only when Teshrop approached, did the weird rotten maggot quiet down again.
"This is the Edward I was talking about. Well, although he is not as handsome as me, he is still a reliable person." Teshrop patted the opponent's thick skin, sticking mucus in his hand, and said carelessly: "You can believe that he!"
Jessica, who was following Edward, muttered 'shameless' in a low voice, but Edward himself had no interest in arguing about it, and just stared at the rotten maggot.
The rotten maggot slowly shook its head, as if nodding its head.
It does understand Common Speech! Edward knew it all at once.
Teshrop stepped aside to allow Edward to come up and try to communicate.
Edward thought for a moment, then said to the rot maggot: "I will ask the question directly, if the answer is 'correct', you can move your head up and down, if I say 'wrong', you can move your head left and right, if you hear If you understand, just move up and down once to see."
The rotten maggot remained motionless.
Just when Edward thought it was just a coincidence, but in fact, this thing could not understand human words at all, the other party raised his huge head and nodded slightly.
