Chapter 147 The Algae Octopus Battle Situation Takes a Sudden Turn
Amidst the chaos, thanks to Chen Dixin's protection, no player suffered fatal damage, and everyone successfully completed the mission. An hour later, after everyone retreated back to the city wall, the remaining progress was proceeding steadily according to plan.
"Your Majesty" wiped the sweat from her brow. She was one of the people brought to the island by connections, but she wasn't really of much use.
Although her name sounds impressive, her strength is only average to above average, and she is a farmer who lives a peaceful life. She has never seen so many sea monsters before, and her heart is still pounding when she finally gets to the ground!
She looked around. Where was Sister Rice Ball who said she was coming to pick her up?
My mind was a complete mess when someone patted me on the back. I turned around and saw an unfamiliar face. I was so startled that I almost jumped up.
The man's gaze was indifferent. "New here? Go over there to register and verify."
"oh oh."
"Name, occupation, recommender."
After registering, she was assigned to the logistics team. They were told to wait for experienced players to come and guide them. Her Majesty was then given a bottle of milk and some fried fish pieces. She adapted very well to the situation and ate with relish.
"Sister Rice Ball!"
The seaweed rice ball walked over, responded, and beckoned the dozen or so people behind His Majesty to follow her.
Farming? That's something she's good at.
As a result, the seaweed rice balls led people further and further away from the area, and a strange smell permeated the air.
"What's that smell? It stinks! Rice Ball Sister, are we going to make compost? Do we have to make our own farm manure for farming in the game?" His Majesty followed behind Rice Ball, muttering to himself, "Slurp—this milk tastes pretty good."
"You can drink as long as you want once you get there."
"ah?"
"Moo! Moo, moo—"
The faint mooing of cattle interrupted her question. She continued walking for a long time, and when she saw these huge creatures, Her Majesty was dumbfounded. She finally understood why they had been kept in such a far place.
That roar was deafening! What kind of cow is that? Doesn't it sleep in the middle of the night?
Upon closer inspection, the colossal beast, covered in long, downy hair, was so tall it made one's neck ache. It was easily two or three stories high.
The seaweed rice ball said this is a pack bear, a native creature of the island. Its name is bear, but its appearance is more like a hybrid of a giant goat and a yellow cattle.
Because of their enormous size, they produce a huge amount of milk. One or two hundred pack bears are enough to supply the entire island, not only providing milk to new players but also giving each player a bottle every day.
These adorable creatures, as long as they are not frightened, are more docile than cattle and sheep after they have eaten and drunk their fill. Before the marine mammals came to the island, they also undertook a considerable part of the work of transporting supplies.
Of course, players with exceptionally high animal affinity, like Tao Ling, or those who can communicate with them, are needed to coordinate, such as exchanging a day's work for a basket of fruit.
Upon hearing this, His Majesty's gaze towards the pack bears softened, and he even boldly joined the seaweed rice ball in touching the pack bear leader's fur, which it didn't even lift its eyelids.
"Ouch! You damn stupid fish! When we get back, I'll chop you up and steam you, braise you, and make soup with you..."
My luck turned sour when I got slapped several times by the big fat fish in my hand, and my face turned red.
In the fishpond, Tao Ling and her pet octopus were possessed, and a large group of them were huddled in the water, like an evil water monster from legend. Her tentacles were like fishing nets, firmly trapping the fish, just waiting for the players on the shore to change the fish in the new nets.
Seeing her sister being bullied by the fish, she helplessly pulled out one of her tentacles, rolled the fish up, and swept the other fish thrashing on the ground into the fishpond.
"Never mind the ones that jumped out, but why hasn't the new basket arrived yet? Sis, go check it out."
My luck turned around as I wiped my face and turned around to find myself facing a group of new players. They were carrying a two-meter-diameter wicker basket and looked fearful, clearly having watched her fight the big fat fish the whole time.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hey, put the basket down. Your main job is to move the fish away. If any jump out... pick them up if you can, otherwise forget about them."
After all, this fish is really strong in combat. Although part of the reason is that I am relatively weak, a fish with strong combat ability should not be assigned to be raised as a fish! It is already a loss to be assigned Tao Ling to catch fish.
This is also why stoneeye fish were ultimately excluded from aquaculture – they are too difficult to catch.
Their fishponds are designed to connect to the sea, so they can be dug quickly. It's not very convenient to drain the water and catch fish like in traditional fishponds. After catching the last pond today, the rest are all small green leaf fish, which are much easier to deal with.
More players have been incorporated into the battle sequence, with the fastest set to face the sea monster tomorrow. All players are currently undergoing training to learn about the city walls and combat.
The city was well-organized, and after observing the area outside for a while without encountering any major obstacles, Shen Dixin left the cinnabar ingot as his eyes and returned to his residence on the island to continue cultivating his spiritual power.
Hunter Blade said that if her mental strength were a little stronger, she would help tear a small hole in the barrier so that her protection could pass through and cover several channels next door.
Shen Dixin would naturally not miss such an opportunity. Perhaps the most rational choice would be to give up protecting more players, reduce the number and try to increase the quality, but when he knew that he could protect more players, he still did it involuntarily.
Chen Qingxin is not just a mechanical life form composed of correctness. If this makes her feel more relaxed and accomplished, it is worthwhile to spend some mental energy to protect humans who are not very useful.
Although it doesn't like to meddle, Hunter Blade isn't the foolish Werner; it comforts and encourages its companions in its own way.
Even after Chen Dixin finished his training and went out to forage, the sea monster's attacks did not stop, or rather, once they started, they never stopped.
In such a tense situation, there was hardly anyone talking on the channel; the few words that could be read at a glance were easily identifiable.
Thousand Miles Seeking a Boat: I should have gone to bed earlier. I've been fighting sea monsters for eight hours straight!! Anyone want to team up? I'm a level 15 monster hunter here, and I'm open to support roles. I just need someone to cover for me for a bit so I can get some rest.
Nine Thousand: The Full Fortune Fleet is recruiting members. See the store 【Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan】homepage for details.
Cat Doesn't Eat Fish: Does anyone have extra medicine? Can I trade some with them? I'm willing to pay a premium. My protection has already been triggered, and if I don't get my health back up soon, I'm really going to die at sea QAQ
Everyone's situation is not good. The few fleets with strongholds are still able to manage. When Shen Dixin was building the city wall, he casually invited them to join in the group purchase, and a simplified version of the strategic plan was also made at the same time.
After all, although they are unwilling to join my fleet, they are all elite players in the channel, good prospects! They will come to the island sooner or later, so I don't want them to be wasted outside.
The remaining scattered players quickly realized that the key to fighting the sea monster was to have a large number of people. Those who were still alive banded together at an astonishing speed, with at least two or three people, and some even forming fleets on the spot.
The offensive in the first five days was not fierce, and Chen Dixin didn't even use many of the items she had stored up, so the elimination speed was slower than expected.
Soon, Zhu Sha, a scout at the front, brought news that a huge creature had appeared in the sea! It was even bigger than the sea monster that Yue Bai had killed before! And it looked more like some kind of sea beast than a sea monster.
It was indeed a sea beast. The wings extending from the armband flapped, and Chen Dixin remained steadily in mid-air, her gold-rimmed glasses perched on her nose.
[Level 31 Algae Octopus: Constitution 56, Strength 98, Agility 78, Health (988/1000), Stamina (1677/2000), Special Status: Puppet.]
Even after consuming experience points, Shen Dixin only reached level 18. Level 16 is already considered high for ordinary players, but the algae octopus in front of him was more than twice the level of the average player!
