Chapter 245: Survival at Sea Day 9 (5) Drawing in a Special Situation...
In Yu Miaomiao's eyes, these two crabs wearing coral armor were shrimp meat delivered to her door. She had to kill them all because Xiaoguai wanted to eat them.
The first hall of the Crystal Palace is very large. The huge crystal dome on the outside covers a colorful coral. The light reflected by the crystal appears shimmering against the backdrop of the sea water.
Further away, you can vaguely see two crystal palaces standing behind.
These three crystal palaces make up the entire adventure area.
Behind the rows of corals in front of you should be the pearl oyster area, which is also an adventure treasure chest area. As long as you can get through that area, your progress will be greatly improved.
The crab generals walked in sideways from the side doors of the palace with half of their bodies standing upright. The crystal claws they held were always connected to the crystal bottom surface on the ground.
From her perspective, the ends of their crystal pliers would constantly scratch the crystal floor, keeping them permanently connected.
Yu Miaomiao took the sea bladder and ran quickly towards the two on the right. While walking, he kept chiseling the crystal floor with a big hammer.
This was a cheating method that Iris told her, and Huabie had also tested it and found it to be effective.
As long as the crystal is broken, when these shrimp soldiers and crab generals pass by the sea mud mixed with debris, their weapons made of crystals will disappear and their bodies will turn into soft shells like paper, which are very easy to deal with.
When Iris came here, she was inspired by Yu Miaomiao's battle with the blood monkey and discovered the monster's attack pattern. Moreover, through this method, it became much easier to deal with various monsters that used crystals as weapons in the early stage.
Yu Miaomiao took action to attack because she needed to avoid the changes in suction, but these monsters connected to the crystal did not need this, and she could not wait until there were more monsters before dealing with them.
He held the sword in one hand and took out the fish claw spray gun in the other and shot at the two crab generals' claws.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp.”
After a few shots from the water guns, the small octopus claws immediately absorbed the seawater while flying and turned into a fishing net-like claw, which tied up the crystal claws and the standing crab together.
From this perspective, the two crabs look like tied-up hairy crabs.
Just before they could break free, she raised the horizontal knife and stabbed it into the mouthparts of the leading crab. With the other hand, she held the handle of the scissors and cut into its entire mouthparts and crab's abdominal shell with a click.
Before the two monsters could use their crystal pliers, she killed them in a second and gradually shattered them into crystal.
The fish claws were used up one by one, and there were 18 left. To refill the ammunition, she had to go to the repair station. She prepared two, and after using one, she could ask her friends on the shore to help repair it.
Yu Miaomiao put the small snail bag that fell on the ground into her pocket. After getting two portions of shrimp meat, she heard the familiar "drip drip" sound again.
There is really no shortage of news today.
Yu Miaomiao measured the water flow while quickly killing the remaining two before opening the message.
"Pathfinder: Could you please tell me the details of what you found in the Crystal Palace?"
"Pathfinder: I was overconfident just now. The exploration site isn't completely useless. I've carefully tested it and found it's closely related to this apocalypse. I apologize for my rude words just now. I hope you can forgive my abrupt behavior, young comrade."
Did someone steal this guy's holographic screen? Or was someone holding his head down and saying this?
In the information exchange thread he posted, many people complained about his actions.
Some people say that he is unkind, some say that he is too old-fashioned and speaks harshly, some say that he is just pretending to be noble for doing research in the apocalypse, and some say that he cheats for supplies and information under the guise of research. However, he has always had the strong support of several big guys in District 2, so he can focus on his research.
These big guys are now also on the team standings.
Except for the second-place team of 'Shiyancheng', all the other teams on the leaderboard have only five members, including 'Yijian Kaitianmen' and other five people who support the 'Pathfinder' research.
Yu Miaomiao's team is currently in first place, and there are only five of them, because she has not yet received a reply from the beautiful girl warrior, while the others are actually hiding their incompetence, that is, hiding people and points.
Because each server has its own special circumstances, most of the people who can form teams and appear on the scoreboard are the top few in other servers, and these lists can be determined and calculated.
The person each team is missing is the last bargaining chip for each team.
As long as they invite the people they have selected to join before the list is settled, they can hide their strength and increase points at the last moment, surpassing the top teams in one fell swoop, and even have a chance to climb to the first place.
Why would a big shot in the population of Area 2 support this person's research?
Yu Miaomiao broke the first row of corals in front of him and opened a brown shell hidden among the corals.
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait. Adventure Land Gift Pack: 1 White Gem, 5 Plastic Blocks, has been stored in the system warehouse.]
Still failed, but no new "seafood" monsters appeared.
She continued to smash the crystal floor.
With the sound of grunting and crackling, she heard the sound of news coming again. She had not yet decided whether to tell the Pathfinder everything about this expedition.
"Yijian Kaitianmen: Hello, I'm from Zone 2. I heard that our server's science expert, 'Pathfinder,' learned from you about the exploration zone and the apocalypse. However, he passed out from exhaustion after working for over 30 hours straight. Before he fell asleep, he urged me to beg you to forgive him. As a token of our sincerity, we can offer some compensation. Please see if there's anything you're missing or need, and we'll provide it."
Pathfinder has always said that she doesn't care about exploration or climbing the rankings, she just wants to do research, so what about the person who contacted her now?
If Yu Miaomiao remembered correctly, this 'One Sword Opens the Sky Gate' was what many people called the top boss in Area 2. Although their server was launched later than the beta server, the number of monsters they killed was several times that of the others, and their strength value was also astonishingly high.
Putting aside the question of whether the 'Pathfinder' fainted from overwork in research and asked this person to contact him, what if the 'Pathfinder' needed some resource support for research and told 'One Sword Opens the Sky Gate' about Yu Miaomiao's latest discovery, allowing the people in the team in Area 2 to explore faster, which would be very unfavorable to Miaomiao's team's score list.
Yu Miaomiao has already competed with Nana. Although the internal test server has an additional score for the internal test server competition list, because the internal test server was opened the earliest, the adventure list points and monster kill numbers of other servers are calculated at 1.5 times that of the internal test server.
1.5 times the monster kill rate is reasonable.
The time for the internal test server to enter the sea survival world is the same as that of the top ten areas. All exploration progress is reset to zero and starts again. Why can other areas with higher exploration rankings get more points than their internal test server?
Unfair.
It's no use. It's fixed by the system. Who can you tell me it's unfair?
This is also the reason why Yu Miaomiao had to come to the adventure site today.
Likewise, if she improved her ranking, she would not be able to let people from other areas who might pose a potential threat know the rules of the expedition area, giving other teams a chance to surpass hers.
Is competition necessary?
If it was before, she might not want to go back, but she wanted to go back more and more every day, and she was more worried that she would be surpassed by someone with ulterior motives.
No one knows what the rewards for team points are, what the first place will give, or even whether there will be a few more cards for restoring the world order. What if these rewards eventually fall into the hands of those who don't want to go back and only want to dominate and rule the end times?
Six shrimp soldiers appeared from behind her. She had been paying attention to the situation around her, so while constantly changing her position and moving forward, she saw the monsters holding crystal spears swimming quickly into the gate of the palace.
Yu Miaomiao stood where she was, wanting to see if the method of smashing the crystal ground to defeat the monster was effective.
Another message alerted her, and she moved the holographic screen aside, ready to strike at any moment, to look at the new message.
"Yijian Kaitianmen: Hello, I know this may be a bit abrupt and presumptuous, but I don't usually like to talk nonsense. I'd rather talk to you openly and honestly. I imagine you and your battle pet have a deep bond. You must be curious about whether you can take it with you if you can return home, right?"
"One Sword Opens the Heavens: Frankly, Dr. Ji, also known as Pathfinder, is a scientist I've been protecting since the modern era. Whether it was by luck or someone deliberately orchestrated it, Dr. Ji and I were transported to Apocalypse Zone 2 together. While ensuring his safety, I will unconditionally support his research and will do whatever it takes to help him. Furthermore, regardless of whether you wish to return, one of Dr. Ji's findings will be crucial for your and your pet's future survival. Don't you want to know?"
She thought it would take a detour, so she didn't smash the crystal floors on both sides of the door. So when the shrimp soldiers first stepped into the palace, they were still very proud and heroic. But when they walked onto the sea mud that was smashed by Yu Miaomiao, the monsters immediately threw off their armor, and their red bodies turned green, gradually turning into ordinary shrimps seen in modern times.
When they all swam quickly in front of Yu Miaomiao, they all turned into weak shrimps with no attack power. She killed them one by one with a knife, and killed all the monsters in two seconds, and also got 3 portions of shrimp meat that Xiaoguai loved to eat.
She cares about Xiaoguai. Anyone who has been in the waters near her in the past two days should know this.
But others speculated that she valued this zebra tiger so much, and said that it was because she wanted to control the tiger to help in the battle, but Yijian Kaitianmen said right away that she wanted to take Xiaoguai away.
The person on the other end did not continue to send messages to urge her. He was probably waiting for her reply. Besides, the Dr. Ji he mentioned had not woken up yet, so there was no rush to find out.
Yu Miaomiao continued to split the coral in front of him, and then faced the new shrimp soldiers coming in from the open side door.
She didn't hit the crystal ground on both sides. She tied them up with her fish claws and then cut off their heads one by one with scissors.
In this way, he walked carefully, cut and trimmed, and finally arrived at the center of the first palace.
There was a treasure chest inlaid with gems on each side of the palace. It was hard to tell what was inside the crystal box, but she knew she couldn't open it.
This is a deceptive treasure chest. Once opened, a dry and flat sponge will appear. It will instantly absorb and expand when it comes into contact with sea water, just like the fish claw spray gun in her hand, which will become several times larger when it comes into contact with sea water.
This sponge will directly explode the entire palace, and countless crystal fragments will fall down. The huge impact will injure people.
This was also what Iris told her.
When Iris opened the treasure chest for the first time, she vaguely saw words written on the inner wall of the lid, but the situation was urgent at the time and she was not sure whether she would be affected by the explosion, so she immediately used the teleportation card to go back.
Afterwards, in order to confirm what was written on it, Iris experienced four explosions before she could clearly see the words left by the hidden person. In the last explosion, she was hit by countless falling rocks. She survived and got the information that almost made her give up trying.
In fact, after hearing Iris's description, Yu Miaomiao felt a little strange. Why would a hidden person who wanted to help the survivors write such a complicated line of words in a treasure chest that could cause an explosion?
It can be secretive, but it can't harm people.
If Iris had not been exposed while she was unconscious and happened to be rescued, she would not have been able to pass on this information. It is not like a "good person" would deliberately leave it behind.
While Yu Miaomiao was thinking, he had already reached the exit of the palace.
She faced a rainbow reef passage with hanging seaweed. The pink and white reefs made the entire corridor very beautiful.
Pearl oysters lay quietly on the ground, and there were probably hundreds of shells as far as the eye could see. Only about ten of them were real treasure chests, and the others were attacking monsters.
The health bars of the clam monsters are hidden and invisible at a distance. Once they enter this pink corridor, they will sense the presence of humans. A group of clam monsters will instantly awaken and surround the survivors. Only after killing them all can the remaining gift packs be opened.
Moreover, there will be sudden weightlessness at every point on this road, so no one has been able to successfully pass through here and open all the treasure chests.
So no one in the beta server has been able to kill all these monsters and open all the treasure chests.
But she should be able to do it because she has the Turtle Breathing Technique and doesn't need to kill monsters.
The mother-of-pearl gift pack and the clam monster look very different. The monster's clam shell is pearly white, like upside-down stars in the pink corridor, while the one containing the gift pack appears much darker.
Moreover, when she passed by, these treasure chest monsters would light up with red blood bars and slightly open their serrated clam shells, but they did not bite her because they could not find their target.
Carefully avoiding the clam monster at his feet, Yu Miaomiao came to the first treasure chest, picked it up, pried it open, and heard the familiar failure system sound.
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait. Adventure Land Gift Pack: 1 Yellow Gem, 5 Shrimp Meat, has been stored in the system warehouse.]
not bad.
The coral corridor is not wide, and when swimming forward, you will inevitably encounter a situation where there is no way to go. You must experience weightlessness several times and use a catapult device.
When using the device, she had to calculate the landing time and angle accurately to ensure that she would not be hit by the crystal thorns high above her head, nor would she step on the hungry clam monsters.
She walked this distance for nearly an hour, and the only thing left in her sight was a dark mother-of-pearl. After opening this treasure chest, her strategy progress would reach 10%, and she would climb to third place in the expedition progress rankings.
“Ding ding.”
There is so much news today.
She hung in the water and opened a private message.
"Yingying Monster: Sister Miaomiao, I think I need to tell you something. Xiaoguai seems a little anxious and is wandering around as if looking for you. I'm afraid it will go down to the sea to find you. Although Brother Huabie asked me not to interfere with you killing monsters, I feel it's necessary to ask you, do you think you should come back and take a look first?"
Before Yu Miaomiao could reply, after sensing the ocean current, she rushed upwards with a "splash".
After she was left hanging in the air with no way to go again, she returned accurately to the air in this space. She only needed to swim down one more meter to get the last treasure chest and then return the same way.
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait. Adventure Land Gift Pack: Red Gem*1, Shrimp Meat*15, Mucus*55, has been stored in the system warehouse.]
Yu Miaomiao let out a long sigh. It seemed that this treasure chest was equivalent to a branch treasure chest. It actually contained so many things.
At that same moment, all the slightly open, serrated clams seemed to awaken and swam towards her in unison, opening and closing to bite her, trying to tear her apart. The exploration mechanics of the Sea World were different from those of the Desert Survival World. Monsters around treasure chests didn't disappear when nearby chests were opened; they remained until they were killed.
These monsters noticed her, probably because she had opened the largest clam shell.
Yu Miaomiao glanced at the new, larger crystal palace at the end of the corridor and immediately turned back to swim.
She memorized every landing point of this corridor, so she returned very quickly. These clams obviously only sensed that the treasure chest was opened, but had not yet noticed where she was. Yu Miaomiao deliberately swam in the upper air of this cave space, avoiding the clam monsters that were like a hornet's nest.
Just as she was about to swim back to the first crystal palace, the group of monsters swam straight towards her as if they had opened their third eye.
She didn't remember the road ahead very clearly, so she still had to rely on her ocean bladder to measure as she walked. If she had to dodge these monsters while measuring the ocean currents, she was afraid of accidentally hitting the crystal thorns.
It was only three meters away. Even though she had turned the corner and arrived in front of the crystal confusing treasure chest, the group of monsters still opened and closed their jagged mouths and bit towards her accurately.
She was swimming too hastily, and for a moment she lost focus and was immediately discovered by the group of monsters.
Seeing hundreds of clam monsters swimming towards her at the same time, she still tried to stay calm, calmed down in a second, and entered a state of turtle breathing.
The clam monsters that originally surrounded her gradually quieted down as her breath changed, wandering blindly around the open palace, blocking her way back.
She had to leave immediately. Xiaoguai was waiting for her. Xiaoguai didn't smell her and hadn't come to find her so quickly. He must have known that she would be back soon, and she couldn't let him down.
Yu Miaomiao checked the durability of the shield and soft armor, and put all the remaining oxygen cylinders into his bag.
Start exploding!
Just as she was about to glance at the crystal puzzle gem box, a line of Chinese characters made up of red shells above her head caught her attention.
"Don't believe it"
Don't believe it.
What not to believe?
Yu Miaomiao opened the treasure chest, and the extremely long line came into view, but it was soon blocked by the rapidly expanding sea. She immediately turned her back and waited for the dome to explode and send her to the entrance of the expedition. This was the fastest way to go back.
Yu Miaomiao specifically asked about the item Iris was wearing. It was just an intermediate shield. Iris survived at that time, so there was no reason for her to die now that she was wearing an advanced shield. If Xiaoguai went into the sea to find it, no one could stop it. She could hardly imagine what would happen.
Compared to my own injuries and losses, they seem insignificant.
"Bang."
"Tear."
"Gulp."
As the crystal roof and the surrounding pillars cracked, the entire palace began to collapse, and countless large and small crystal fragments fell from the sky. The clam monster that was still wandering around was instantly hit by the dome stone in the middle and lost its breath.
There is sea water as a buffer, but in the end it can't withstand too many crystal blocks.
A lot of stones fell on Yu Miaomiao's back, but she deliberately hid beside a pillar and leaned her back against the sponge, so no big crystal blocks fell on her, only some small gravel.
Before the rockfall stopped, she put some of the clam monster corpses within range into her system backpack.
She wanted to see what method or mechanism could be activated to allow the explorer to return to the cave entrance. If it could be activated manually, she wouldn't have to go back the next time.
Three minutes later, the sponge, which had absorbed a lot of sea water, expanded to the "ceiling" of the entire expedition site.
The next second, there was a "puff" sound, and the gray sponge that was still squeezing her body and pushing her out suddenly deflated. A strong blow came from the top of her head, and the warm sea water wrapped her whole body. Then she was pushed to the exit by the current.
So this is how people were sent away after the Crystal Palace explosion?
Maybe it was because she chose a good position, or maybe it was because the advanced shield had a very high defense value. The durability had only dropped by 20 points so far, so it was safe.
But the next scene made her alert again. Millions of crystal thorns on her head were pulled out from the sea mud on the top by the jet force, and flowed along the current, sliding towards the direction where Yu Miaomiao was floating.
She didn't know whether she could float to the cave entrance first or the crystal thorns would prick her faster, but she had to act immediately and leave before being pricked.
Now it seems that the suction or gravity in the space has completely gone out of control, and all the sea water and objects in the Crystal Palace exploration area are rushing towards the cave entrance.
Yu Miaomiao activated the catapult device, kicked the flippers on her feet, and brushed past the broken crystal blocks. After she kicked her legs for the next step, she found that there was no propulsion behind her calves. Looking back, she found that her flippers were pierced by the crystal thorns and fragments.
If her flippers could break, the next puncture might be her body. She continued to use the catapult device, swimming forward quickly using her hands and feet.
【System prompt: Please draw your gift pack card】
The familiar system prompt sounded, and everything around Yu Miaomiao stopped, even the surging sea water and the crystal thorns that were about to pierce her in the next moment stopped.
It was about the same time, which was also the time she chose before opening the treasure chest.
At this moment, she seemed to be wrapped in a large square bubble, with three large cards standing in the middle of the bubble, with half of the first and third cards exposed in the sea water.
The three cards still have vine patterns drawn on them, and the ocean waves are almost integrated with the real ocean around them. They are the customized sea survival cards that we have seen before.
The first card on the right was emitting a more prominent dark red light.
Turning over the front of the card, it read: "Advanced Sea Food Resource Card."
The second was a bright yellow card that read, "Advanced Naval Weapon Resource Card."
The card on the far left is also yellow, but closer to orange, and reads: "Advanced Maritime Defense Weapon Resource Card."
She had seen this type of card drawing once a few days ago, and at that time she chose defensive resources, but today, she needed weapon resources.
After fighting monsters in the sea so many times, she deeply realized the need for some weapons that could quickly resolve battles in the sea.
Having made up her mind, she was not in a hurry to choose.
She wanted to take this opportunity to observe the situation in the expedition area, or rather, the situation in her independent space. After all, this was her first time drawing cards under such extreme circumstances.
I reached out and stirred around my body, but didn't feel any sea water.
This big blister isolated her overseas?
I looked down at the oxygen cylinder consumption. One minute had passed and there was no consumption, which meant there was oxygen in the bubble.
Where are the feet?
