Chapter 189 (Extra)
A lake somewhere in the north of the Vazetilan continent.
"Did you actually see something under the lake?"
Ye Zi sat on the egret's back, looking at her feet meticulously.
There is no boss, no other humanoid creatures, only puddles of varying depths and clusters of floating water plants.
Bai Cai Tou opened his eyes and at this moment couldn't help but wonder if he had really seen it wrong that night?
No, he is an assassin. Although he does not dare to take credit for his skills, his eyes and perception will never deceive him.
"...President, what I said is absolutely true. I didn't lie to you."
Bai Cai Tou was sure that he was not mistaken, but the empty lake bottom was clearly mocking him, and he didn't know how to explain it to make the person in front of him believe it.
Ye Zi was not a ruthless ruler like Edie. Although he didn't see anything at the bottom of the lake, he didn't get angry at all. He just hummed lightly and said, "I believe you, but we have to go down and take a look."
The day when Bai Cai Tou saw the suspected incarnation of the gods was at night, but now it is daytime. The light intensity and angle at night and day are different, and even if it falls on the same lake, it may cause visual confusion.
To be on the safe side, Ye Zi decided to lower his altitude to observe.
Under his command, the egret quickly lowered its altitude, followed closely by the cabbage head. The two flying mounts were flying almost close to the water surface. Ye Zi lowered his eyes and observed intently all the way.
But still nothing was found.
Bai Cai Tou's face flushed red: "...President...I..."
Ye Zi: "Don't be nervous, I won't eat you."
At worst, it would be a wasted trip. And thinking about it another way, it was a good thing there weren't any giant creatures like that at the bottom of the lake, otherwise it would trigger another fierce battle. They had just fought all night last night, and if they fought again this time, their bodies would not be able to handle it.
After he finished speaking, he pulled the egret, which obeyed his command and spread its wings and flew upwards.
The scenery on both sides was quiet and beautiful. The leaves flickered inadvertently, and the pupils suddenly stopped.
"etc."
He called out to the egret, and it stopped flying upwards and started flying horizontally instead.
"What's wrong, President?"
Bai Cai Tou then called out to the mount under him, and glanced in the direction he was looking, his originally suspicious expression suddenly frozen.
“…Monster!”
With a panicked expression and a trembling tone, Bai Cai Tou recognized the big guy who was peeking out from the crevice of the mountains at a glance!
"...Why did he...run into the mountains?"
The giant creature that was supposed to be at the bottom of the lake disappeared overnight and then reappeared in the mountains connected to the lake. So it can move?!
The feeling was even more terrifying than lying at the bottom of the lake. When Bai Caitou came to his senses, he found that cold sweat had appeared on his back.
Fortunately, they were flying at the right altitude, neither too high nor too low, allowing them to see the guy through the gaps in the mountains and use the mountains as cover to conceal their presence.
At Ye Zi's signal, Bai Cai Tou adjusted the angle and the flying mount turned slightly towards the mountain on the left. The two of them went into the mountains one after the other.
They landed on the shady side, where the overlapping shades of trees and the scattered rocks formed a natural cover.
Both men put away their mounts, held their breath, and quickly chased after the enemy like lurking masters.
When they reached the junction of the sunny and backlit areas, Ye Zi raised his hand and signaled Bai Cai Tou to stop.
"Look there."
He raised his hand and pointed forward.
Bai Caitou felt as if his heart was about to explode. He tried hard to control his breathing: "I saw the president. He...what is he doing?"
The enormous body just stood upright in the ravine, neither walking nor moving, as if the pause button had been pressed, standing there in an extremely strange manner.
If Cabbage Head hadn't known that he had escaped from the bottom of the lake, he would have almost thought he was a sculpture.
To be honest, Ye Zi didn't know what this guy was doing.
Unlike the Protoss clone found on another hill last night, that one had a bad temper and was mad from beginning to end. If it weren't for the fact that most of its body was buried in the mountain, the players would have been killed or injured in large numbers.
But this one right now is as quiet as a dead object.
There must be some reason why the two reactions are so different...
What could it be?
Copy?
Last night, the Protoss clone was awakened by the pioneering team pushing the dungeon. After waking up, it started to go crazy. Then the system released a message to the whole continent, calling on players to go and fight the boss.
So the one in front of us also needs to be stimulated to revive through a copy?
I always feel like something is weird, and Ye Zi has an indescribable awkwardness.
"Follow me closely, let's go around to a closer place and take a look."
Speculation is always speculation, and the truth must be proven by facts.
If there really is a copy here, then he must see the entrance to the copy with his own eyes.
The two of them crossed the dividing line where the sunlight fell on the slope, moving in a serpentine manner, winding their way to a closer corner.
It was so close, but the Protoss clone remained motionless, and there was no copy halo nearby.
That's strange, why is he standing here?
Cabbage Head opened his mouth and was about to ask, but suddenly he looked down and saw a huge circular magic circle drawn under the feet of this guy.
The lines that made up the formation were glowing red and flickering. They extended along the big guy's feet, all the way up his legs and wrapped around him like countless long snakes, wrapping around his middle thighs and below.
"Energy supply?!" Cabbage Head blurted out.
Ye Zi hummed solemnly: "I'm afraid so."
He had seen this magic circle before. It was right next to where the first Protoss clone appeared last night.
It was dark at night, and when he stepped on the line, he thought it was a shadow cast by a branch high above. Now that he thought about it carefully, he realized that it was not a projection at all, but a line drawn on the ground.
"So that's how it is," he suddenly realized. "The reason the Protoss clone went berserk last night was because the magic circle supplying it with energy was accidentally destroyed by the pioneering team. And now the second one we saw, because it's in a remote location and no one has seen it, it stands on the magic circle without hesitation, absorbing energy and has no defenses against the outside world."
"So, we can take action now?" Bai Cai Tou understood the meaning of his words.
Ye Zi nodded.
Bai Cai Tou quickly opened the guild channel: [Brothers and sisters, the second boss has appeared, coordinates [xx,xxx,xx], come quickly!]
He sent the message to the guild, but someone beside him added, "There's also the world channel, so call for help too."
"Ah?" Cabbage Head raised his head. "But in this case, the credit for the kill won't go entirely to Ye Xing Qi Hang."
Just like last night, the honor that should have been enjoyed exclusively by them was snatched away by other players because the system issued a continent-wide notice. When he thought of this, he felt it was a pity.
Since they found another one today and it hasn't triggered a system notification yet, why don't they keep it for themselves?
"I understand what you mean," Ye Zi sighed, "but look at the red light on his legs that symbolizes energy?"
What? Bai Caitou stood at the edge of the mountain, lowered his head and looked, his expression changing involuntarily.
"The red light is rising!"
Ye Zi: "Yes, we've only been standing here for less than three minutes, and the red light has already climbed from the middle of his thigh to the upper part. This speed is too fast. With only a few hundred people in our guild, it would be difficult to defeat him before he absorbs all his energy. And if we fail to defeat him..."
Cabbage Head carefully took over the conversation: "...This guy's strength may soar to a terrifying level?"
"yes."
hiss--
Bai Cai Tou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly switched to the world, typing out a string of text and sending it!
His words were like a bomb, instantly detonating the originally peaceful world.
[Holy crap? Another one? Is the Vazetilan continent possessed by evil spirits?!]
[But the system didn't release any news this time, brother, please don't scare us.]
[Whether it's true or not, you can just go and take a look and see for yourself, right?]
[I feel like a huge amount of experience points is beckoning me. I'm going right now!]
[This boss is pretty easy to beat, just stand still. Don't hesitate, everyone rush in quickly]
Although the participants were exhausted from last night's battle, the generous experience points and gold coin rewards were truly enviable. In addition, this Boss was indeed easy to defeat and pose no pressure to both melee and ranged combatants. Therefore, upon hearing this, everyone excitedly teleported towards the lake.
However, as excited as this group of people were, Ye Zi beside the cliff was worried.
This guy was definitely not as easy to deal with as the one from last night. The latter was trapped by the mountain for most of his body, which created a very favorable attack advantage for the players. However, this one...
In fact, they had a chance at the beginning.
Bai Cai Tou discovered something strange at the bottom of the lake last night. If the team leader had told him the news at that time, they might have sent people into the water to deal with this guy yesterday, instead of letting this guy crawl out from the bottom of the lake when they were completely unaware, walk to the magic circle next to him, and absorb energy without anyone noticing.
He fell silent, and Cabbage Head reacted through his silence.
"...I'm sorry, President. I should have reported this to you yesterday..."
If he hadn't delayed the news, the second boss would have been captured by them.
"It's okay, it's not your fault." Ye Zi said calmly.
Instead of dwelling on irreversible things, it would be better to think about why the God Clan's clones have been waking up one after another recently?
On the giant banyan tree, Xia Mo's eyes were full of surprise when he got the third piece of the map.
It seems that you don’t have to take on epic quests to obtain fragments, you can also get them by entering unexplored maps.
The three pieces can be combined into a complete map. Xia Mo opened his backpack, took out the other two pieces he had obtained before, and put them together.
During the synthesis process, the fragments emitted a halo, and the colorful light flowed. After a few seconds, the halo disappeared. Xia Mo saw a red dot marked in the center of the complete map. That was...
System: [Map exploration complete, do you want to leave? (Note: After leaving, the Libus Mine will become a public map, please choose carefully)]
Her thoughts were interrupted by the system prompt. Xia Mo looked at the current time. It had only been more than 5 hours since she came in, which was much shorter than the 12 hours given on the treasure map.
In fact, it is normal. She has good operation skills and quick reactions. From entering the mine to climbing the giant banyan tree to open the treasure chest, there is basically no delay in the whole process. If it were another player, he would have died countless times just in the level of hiding from the oil barrels in the mine.
12 hours is the time given to ordinary players, but for her, 5 hours is enough.
She clicked on the leave option, and the scene before her eyes changed, and she returned to the entrance of the mine.
However, unlike before, the air wall at the entrance of the mine disappears, the map is no longer restricted, and any player can come in.
Through system messages, players learned that a new map called [Libs Mine] was suddenly opened, and the world channel suddenly became lively.
[New map? Will there be treasure?]
[Should there be one? Otherwise, why would it be open to the public?]
[There might not only be treasures, but also dungeons~]
【Wow, thanks for the reminder, I'll be there right away! 】
[Ahhh, please go slower and leave some for me!]
…
Xia Mo glanced at the players' chat and curled up the corners of his mouth.
Sorry friends, this map is what she left over from playing. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed after coming all this way...
Since it was earlier than expected, Xia Mo left the mine and decided to go to the location of the red dot.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the red dot coordinates - a salt flat.
White salt lies on the ground, each grain distinct and pure white like snow crystals. At first glance, it looks like a world of ice and snow. However, the warm climate reminds people all the time that these large expanses of white are not snow, but salt.
This is the only salt land in the continent of Pergas. It is quite famous among players because of its permanent white color that never melts. After hearing about such a wonder in the southern continent, many people often come here to see it.
However, as time goes by, even the most novel curiosity will gradually fade as they pass by it many times.
So at this moment, Xia Mo stood at the edge of the salt field and looked out, but she didn't see another living person except herself.
There are no dungeons or monsters in the salt land, and it does not produce herbs, ores and other daily materials. So why did the red dot guide her here?
Xia Mo didn't understand, so he had to go into the salt field to check it out himself.
Since the synthetic map only gave a rough range and no specific coordinates, she could only search piece by piece.
The white salt looked like white snow after looking at it for a long time. When the sun shone overhead, it reflected a large area of white light. Xia Mo only searched for more than twenty minutes before he felt discomfort in his eyes.
This is a debuff similar to snow blindness. To eliminate it, you must wear goggles.
It's a pity that she doesn't have this prop in her backpack.
Xia Mo thought about it and decided to continue to endure it.
Anyway, this debuff won't reduce her health, it will just make her eyes feel uncomfortable, but it won't really blind her, so just bear with it and it will pass.
She continued to search on the salt flats, crouching down, but after half an hour, she still found nothing.
The synthetic map was definitely not lying. Since it had led her here, it meant that something important was hidden there. But where exactly was it? And how was it hidden? Xia Mo had no idea...
She rubbed her sore eyes and closed them, intending to relieve her vision first.
Suddenly, a light feeling fell on his forehead.
Xia Mo opened his eyes and raised his hand to remove the thing stuck on his forehead.
Hey, it's a feather.
