Chapter 185 (Extra)
It would be stupid not to fight the boss. After seeing the urgent news from the mainland, the players in Vazetilan immediately stopped what they were doing, called a few friends, and rushed to the coordinates excitedly.
Ye Zi also teleported and sped all the way, arriving at the Boss's location earlier than ordinary players.
The man was on his flying mount, and before he even landed he noticed a gigantic creature frantically crawling out from the dark mountain ravine.
With most of its body buried in the mountains, with only the chest line and above exposed, the Boss cannot move freely and is forced to be attacked by players from all directions.
"President, you're here!"
Among the running crowd, someone recognized his flying mount and shouted loudly.
Ye Zi controlled his mount to dive down. After landing, he retrieved it and joined the pioneering team. He asked into the headset, "What's going on?"
The leader of the pioneering team waved his weapon while explaining, "After we finished the dungeon, we received a system message saying that we had awakened the Protoss clone sleeping here. It looks like a big guy. President, call some more people over. We'll take him down!"
A clone of the gods?
Unaffected by the captain's high-pitched tone, Ye Zi raised her chin and carefully observed the Boss who was struggling in the ravine.
Scarlet eyes, a head bigger than a church dome, arms as thick as an anaconda. If this is just a clone, then how big is his real body?
"Do you know where his real body is?" he asked with a frown.
Everyone shook their heads.
"The system didn't say."
“No relevant tasks were triggered.”
Ye Zi thought for a moment, then took off the priest's staff from his back and said, "Go ahead, be careful."
"yes!"
The mountains should be completely silent in the early morning, but due to the sudden appearance of an unknown boss, many players came here, hoping to get a piece of the action.
The dark night sky was soon illuminated by lights, red, white, blue and green, like a grand fireworks show, blooming tirelessly.
Arrows were flying in the air, the light and shadow of swords were intertwined, the shouts of the players and the roar of the boss under siege were deafening.
Don't underestimate the power of the group. Even an ant can shake a tree, and thousands of players can also defeat big monsters.
I don't know how many hours we besieged the Boss, until the sky turned pale. The Boss finally let out a miserable howl before dying, his glowing red eyes went out, and his big head slammed to the ground with a bang.
"Ahhh, the boss is finally dead!!!"
Excited shouts of players could be heard from the crowd. Some hugged each other to celebrate, while others raised their fists to bump each other, all expressing their excitement for winning after a night of fierce fighting in their own most convenient way.
However, after the excitement, fatigue after fighting all night came over them. Many people were so tired that they sat down and didn't want to say a word. Some people simply collapsed in the grass, closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The pioneering team that Yexing Qihang set out on was one of those who fell asleep. They had opened up a dungeon before fighting this big guy, and their physical strength had long been overdrawn, so the ten of them lay there, and a "ZZZ" sleeping symbol instantly appeared on their heads.
The players, who had been fighting all night, slept until noon and woke up one by one.
On the world channel, many people are still discussing the nameless boss that suddenly appeared last night.
[Luckily, half of the boss's body was stuck underneath, otherwise we would never have been able to defeat him in one night]
[Indeed, his head alone is this huge! I can't imagine what we'd do if his entire body emerged from the mountain.]
Maybe the planners set it up this way because they knew it would be too difficult? They wanted him to be partially buried, so we just have to stand still and attack the rest?
【Makes sense】
[Please give us more bosses that can be fought standing still in the future. It's really friendly to us ranged mages!]
Ye Zi didn't continue reading the rest of the content. He turned off the channel and prepared to log off to rest. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the private chat channel suddenly flashed rapidly.
He is the member of the team that opened the preliminary dungeon yesterday, Bai Cai Tou.
[Baicaipaitou: President, we logged off early last night and didn't know about the Boss.]
Ye Zi thought he was feeling guilty about not being able to participate in the boss fight, so he replied: [It's okay, you should rest. Your health is the most important thing.]
Unexpectedly, Bai Cai Tou changed the subject: [No, President, that's not what I meant.]
【Leaf: What is that?】
Bai Cai Tou licked his lips, hesitated for a moment, then typed and sent: […I didn't tell you, Guild Master, but last night when we were leaving the pre-game dungeon, we flew over a lake. I looked down and saw what looked like something beneath the surface. I asked everyone, and they all said it was blurry vision, so I didn't take it seriously. But this morning, when I saw the screenshots of the boss shared by players around the world, my heart skipped a beat.]
Ye Zi was stunned for a moment. He recalled what the pioneering team said yesterday - "...We have awakened the God Clan's clone who was sleeping here."
The existence of a clone meant that there was likely to be more than one big guy like the one last night. Considering what Bai Cai Tou said at this moment, Ye Zi suddenly felt that something was not good.
But he still suppressed his slightly accelerated heartbeat: [And then? ]
[Cabbage Head: Then I realized that the boss's size and silhouette in the screenshot are exactly the same as what I saw on the lake yesterday!!!]
After saying this, Bai Cai Tou found that his hands were shaking.
He knew it! He wasn't dazzled last night, what he saw was definitely real!
A huge human-like body was lying upright on the bottom of the lake, with long hair floating in the water and its tightly closed eyes hidden by its long hair.
Although it was shrouded in the darkness of the night, at first glance it looked like moss and water plants at the bottom of the lake, but as soon as you saw those eyes, you knew that what was under the lake was not a plant at all, but a giant man!
Ye Zi's face was shocked, and he asked hurriedly: "Which lake? Send me the coordinates!"
Bai Cai Tou suppressed his trembling hands and hurriedly sent it over. In the end, the more he thought about it, the more horrified he felt. He couldn't help but say, "President, do you want to go over? I'll go with you."
On the other side, the continent of Pergas.
After a good night's sleep, Xia Mo rested and prepared to start a new day's tasks.
Flipping through the task bar, she remembered that the hidden task triggered after she accepted the mercenary task from Boiling Water - [Town Citizens on the Island] was still active.
Click on the task details.
Island Residents: Through shipping seafood, you discover that the town of Yayaro seems to be hiding a dark secret. What happened there? You decide to visit the island again to find out. (Note: The town at night seems to be more worthy of your attention.)
The hint in the brackets clearly tells the tasker that this task needs to be completed at night.
Okay, then move it to tonight, since she still has one thing to complete - the treasure map.
She risked being swallowed by the tsunami to pick up the treasure map, and she has been thinking about what good things she can get from the map.
Unfolding the treasure map, black lines outlined the general appearance of the map in the center of the rectangular sheepskin. Next to the map, a line of small black text read: [Unexplored Map: Libus Mine (Difficulty 4 Stars)]
Mine tunnel...
Xia Mo touched her chin. She was very familiar with this terrain.
After all, don't forget that she was a miner who went through wind and rain, and she went everywhere to collect suitable ores.
Mine tunnels are no exception.
However, the mines she had visited before were relatively recent and had a higher safety factor, so she encountered almost no danger when mining there.
This time the map difficulty was marked as four stars (the highest was five stars), so Xia Mo was on guard and teleported to the entrance of the mine.
[Please confirm whether to enter the unexplored map - Libus Mine? ]
【confirm】
[Note: This map is rated four stars in difficulty and can be explored freely within 12 hours. If you fail to complete the exploration within the time limit, the map will become a public map.]
【confirm】
12 hours, if counted from now on, will end at 8 o'clock in the evening. When the time comes, we will go to Yayaro Town after we get out of the map. The itinerary will be seamless and perfect.
The scene in front of him shook, and when Xia Mo stood still again, he found that he had entered the mine.
She turned around and looked outside the cave, and found that the scenery outside had turned from colorful to gray, which meant that she had been temporarily isolated from the outside world. During the 12 hours of her exploration, outsiders could not enter, so she could rush forward boldly!
The light in the mine is dim, but fortunately there are oil lamps hanging on both sides of the cave wall. Players only need to get close and select [Light], and the oil lamp will automatically light up.
It is quite convenient, as explorers don’t even need to prepare matches and candles.
Xia Mo walked and lit the lights on both sides. After about 50 meters deep, the mine suddenly narrowed and a railway track appeared in front of her. A rusty mine car was parked on the track. She knocked on it with her hand, and a layer of dust and iron filings fell to the ground.
Xia Mo:?
I’m afraid this mine cart will fall apart?
After being speechless for a few seconds, she finally climbed into the small mine cart. After all, this was the only way down to the mine, so she had to either go or get in the cart now.
As soon as people sat down in the car, the mine car started to move with a clang.
This is a mine tunnel that slopes downward. Xia Mo can feel the temperature of the wind blowing on his face gradually decreasing.
Suddenly, the mine cart turned a corner, and a group of pitch-black creatures suddenly attacked her!
Mine bats.
This creature has average attack power and is nothing to be afraid of. Xia Mo is no match for these monsters. He swung the weapon in his hand and the comet storm exploded.
The second and third batches of bats then came out of the nest. They were like inexhaustible cockroaches, constantly emerging from the darkness.
Xia Mo was extremely annoyed and could only swing his weapon and use his skills again and again.
Fortunately, these bats were not killed in vain. On average, one group of bats could bring her 1,000 experience points. It wasn't much, but it was okay. It was better than getting nothing.
After killing countless batches of bats, Xia Mo was secretly complaining about why he hadn't reached the bottom yet, when suddenly, there was a clicking sound from the mine cart under him.
No way? It's really falling apart?!
The secret passage was not good. At the moment the mine cart collapsed, she stood up, stepped on the edge of the mine cart, rolled forward in mid-air, and landed steadily.
Of course, while rolling, Xia Mo did not forget to harvest another batch of bats.
When she stopped and turned around to look back, the mine cart behind her had indeed broken into a pile of scrap metal.
Okay, it seems we can only move forward on foot.
There was no oil lamp near the railway tracks, so she could only walk forward in the dark.
Fortunately, the remaining track was not long, and Xia Mo walked out of the track entrance after about seven or eight minutes.
A huge underground mine appeared before our eyes. The top of the mine was very high. In order to prevent collapse, an iron frame built from the ground supported the top of the mine firmly.
On the ground of the mine, all kinds of debris were scattered around, including bricks, earth slopes, oil drums and boxes... Xia Mo took a quick look and immediately noticed the locked iron boxes.
treasure.
Her eyes lit up and she rushed forward with her weapon in hand.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to move, and other places began to rotate disorderly.
A rotating mine with a mechanism?
So that's how it is.
Xia Mo raised the corner of his mouth and activated his icy blood to accelerate.
She pushed off the ground with her feet, and her light figure landed in another place, like a dragonfly skimming the water, not lingering at all, and just using a little force to jump to the side.
Gravity seemed to have no effect on her. Xia Mo ran left and right, jumped on the ground, and in a few seconds she was close to the iron box she was eyeing.
The weapon was swung in front of him, and the lock on the iron box was shattered by the skill, and the lid of the box opened.
A golden light suddenly appeared from it, and Xia Mo stared at it!
