Chapter 148 Sending someone to your beloved master, Yuebai...
After another minor upgrade, the gold-rimmed glasses gained the ability to see "status," including symptoms such as dizziness and bleeding, according to tests.
Shen Dixin had never seen the term "puppet" before. According to the literal meaning, it might be controlled by something?
She adjusted the filtering range of her eyes, locking onto those above level 20. Since they could control sea beasts of such high level, their own strength should be considerable.
Sure enough, only two entries remained in view.
[Level 23 Two-Headed Serpent Monster: Constitution 21, Strength 13, Agility 46, Health (400/400), Stamina (232/450), Special Status: Concentration.]
[Level 19 Two-Headed Serpent Monster...]
These must be them!
The spiritual tentacles of Chen Qingxin could faintly sense a connection between the three, and the fluctuations were somewhat similar to the pet contract of Zhu Sha.
Looking at the three dimensions alone, you wouldn't know that these two seemingly weak sea monsters possess such abilities.
However, Shen Dixin was not prepared to take action. A series of bells rang out from the communication network, signaling the assembly of the special operations team.
That was a team of players who had gathered the strongest combat power in the stronghold, ready to carry out a decapitation operation at any time.
Working together, they didn't need much time to kill the algae octopus; players teaming up to take down bosses was nothing new.
Now that the target has been located, Chen Dixin certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to waste manpower. He directly marked it with two flashing particles, instructing them to prioritize its elimination.
She then sat cross-legged on the city wall, seizing every minute to train her mental strength. She was no longer satisfied with gentle cultivation methods, but was almost self-torturing and forcing herself to improve.
Hunter Blade had advised her several times, saying that there was a high probability that this would leave permanent problems.
But Chen Dixin didn't think it was a big deal. Why think about the future? Maybe humanity won't have a future!
Some of his mental energy spilled out, constantly monitoring the battle situation and alerting his pets so they could rescue players who had lost their fighting ability in time.
The pressure is not too great at the moment. Having an extra half-team of backup can ensure that we don't consume any medicine other than bloodworms.
Players do have their own medicine, but few are willing to use it because everyone's stockpile is low. With everyone hoarding medicine, the price of medicine has skyrocketed. No one can stop this real demand.
If you get instantly killed because of low health, that would be a huge loss. The protective shield can only be triggered once every 24 hours, so save it if you can. Besides, multitasking is also a form of training.
They made their move two days later.
Previously, others could handle the situation, but when nine sea monsters of level 20 or above appeared at the same time, Chen Dixin stood up and prepared to go into battle, otherwise dealing with these sea monsters would inevitably consume a lot of resources.
With the cooperation of Shen Dixin and the combat team, they killed all the sea monsters in just over ten minutes. Afterwards, another group of people used grappling hooks to retrieve the dropped materials. The blacksmiths and forgers in the stronghold could process them. Although the weapons made in this way were somewhat crude, they were better than wooden sticks and wooden shields.
Right now, everyone's hands and bodies are mostly made of wood and stone. Good equipment should be saved for later, if you don't want to look like a caveman when facing the final boss.
Shen Dixin also wanted to stockpile weapons, but these things are always in short supply; even one weapon per person isn't enough! Where would she get the stock to hoard?
Even an engineer couldn't possibly make so many weapons by himself. She had already taken the limit, including two hastily made ones. It can be said that she did her best.
Although the engineer didn't say it, Shen Dixin felt that he probably also hoped the players would win.
As if the sky had received a command in unison, a full week has passed since the disaster began, and the sky has never cleared up. Even if it doesn't snow to make things more difficult for the players, it still keeps the sun from seeing the light.
"Heart—"
A sharp cry came from afar, and Hanming fluttered its wings and landed on her shoulder. Ever since the one-eyed captain revealed her real name, this guy had been keen on giving her nicknames, including but not limited to Xinxin, Dixin, Xiao Shen, Lao Shen...
Shen Dixin skillfully took the letter. Sending letters by carrier pigeon, such an ancient method, had become commonplace for her, especially after she started doing things behind the system's back. She and Yuebai even started communicating by letter.
Because those different tokens are from the previous batch of "bracelets," they only have simple communication functions on the surface, but who knows if they might be sabotaged in these places?
Even though Hunter Blade told her that the system wasn't that intelligent, Shen Dixin still couldn't help but be wary and cautious.
Hanming told me you'd taken that path. I thought for a long time about what to bring you, but unfortunately, I couldn't find anything else useful. I'm all alone; perhaps only my martial arts skills are worth something. If you don't mind, I'm willing to fight for you.
—I hope Hanming can fly faster, it's too fat! You should feed it less often, I'm worried about whether it can be delivered on time.
—Your beloved master, Yuebai.
After reading it, Shen Dixin's mind went blank for a moment. Her master brought her here by herself? Alone?
She glanced at Hanming involuntarily, seemingly to confirm that Yuebai was not on it.
"Master said that she should come to the banquet hall using a token."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Hanming, go eat!"
After seeing Hanming off, Chen Dixin rested his chin on his hand in deep thought. So, they fell into a misunderstanding from the very beginning?
Nobody said we couldn't ask the white-faced people for help! Although it's a bit unethical for two races to work together, who asked for the humans' opinion before starting the racial test on their own?
This matter still needs to be discussed with Hunter Blade. Shen Dixin thought of the Colosseum. This building looks like it was built specifically for its amusement!
Perhaps the "Moon Goddess" told the white-faced man about this companion, or perhaps the Hunter Blade wasn't as indifferent as it seemed, but had a deeper connection with the white-faced man. In any case, she had to ask, even if they were working together to conceal other intentions from humanity...
The thought of this possibility made Shen Dixin's heart skip a beat, but she quickly suppressed it. She could only imagine that Lie Ren was on their side because they couldn't bear any more hardships.
If the worst-case scenario occurs, and humanity has to rely on itself, it's not entirely impossible to succeed.
Fortunately, Hunter Blade simply slapped his forehead in realization.
"Yes! It seems they asked the mermaids back then, but the mermaids weren't willing to help the white-faced men. They had the means to continue reproducing and weren't willing to risk their lives."
"The white-faced people will help humanity. They've been clinging to life for a few decades, and soon they'll be completely wiped out. I'll go talk to them; it shouldn't be a big problem."
"It's up to you!" Shen Dixin beamed with joy, and took the initiative to conjure a huge brush to groom the Hunter Blade. As her mental power gradually grew stronger, she was already able to control some of the dream world.
"Your talent is truly remarkable! As expected of Yuehua, you have an excellent eye for talent!"
It circled the brush in astonishment. This human had managed to cultivate his spiritual power to this level in such a short time. If he were a pure soul being, his talent level would be at least four or five stars. Unfortunately, he was human, with a body that could easily decay.
"Come on! It's been so long since I've brushed your fur." Hunter Blade happily lay down, even thoughtfully shrinking his size to the size of a hunchback bear so that she could take care of him from all angles.
