There are 10 soldiers in the team, all of whom are NPCs. After Xia Yao received the task, the system automatically assigned them.
The 10 NPCs followed Xia Yao like a tail all the way to the southeast port of Kasaron.
The watchtower is on the sea, and the resources in the tower can only be transferred by ship.
Xia Yao borrowed a boat from the port, carrying 10 NPCs, and drove the boat to the bottom of the watchtower. She temporarily fixed the boat with ropes to prevent it from drifting away, and left one person to watch the boat. The rest followed her and climbed up the vertical ladder to the platform.
The vertical ladder was more than fifty meters high. Not to mention Xia Yao, even the NPC had to stop to catch his breath while climbing.
The group climbed and stopped many times, and finally reached the platform.
There are many boxes on the platform, which are the resources that the mission requires to be transferred.
Xia Yao didn't hesitate. She put one of the one-meter-wide metal boxes on her back, and then walked down the vertical ladder step by step like a snail with its shell on its back.
Because she was carrying heavy objects, the system automatically slowed her down by 10%. When she completely moved the box onto the boat, Xia Yao looked at the time and saw that it had taken her a full 10 minutes.
As for the NPCs, their movements were even slower than hers. Xia Yao just watched them being sent down slowly one by one, feeling anxious but unable to do anything.
Because there was only one vertical ladder, people couldn't go up if someone was coming down, and couldn't come down if someone was going up, just like a bicycle lane. So Xia Yao could only wait on the boat and climb up after the first batch of supplies was delivered.
Xia Yao went through three rounds of this cycle. Although the progress was slow, nothing went wrong.
There is only one round left, and all the supplies in the watchtower can be transferred to the ship. Xia Yao climbed up the ladder in one go, and the NPC followed her like little ants, just like in the previous rounds.
However, just as she stepped onto the platform, suddenly, the wooden planks beneath her feet began to shake, and a dull hum came from under the sea.
She grabbed the railing and stared at the sea.
If I'm not mistaken, as soon as I entered the water, a huge, black, long creature swam past!
Sea battles are inherently disadvantageous to players and NPCs, so she hopes to avoid combat if possible.
So he quickly put on the iron box, then held the railing with one hand and jumped into the sea with the box.
With a plop!
The cold sea water submerged her in an instant, and coupled with the weight of the iron box itself, Xia Yao felt an invisible gravity dragging her down.
If it happened in reality, she would definitely die.
But this is a game, and there is still hope of survival if you make good use of the rules of the game.
Ever since the incident with the sea monster Kraken, she has learned game skills. Compared to the unlearned state, the player can only stay in the water for 6 seconds at a time. After learning the skills, the player can stay floating in the water for 3-5 minutes. If there is weight on the body, the floating time will be appropriately reduced according to the weight.
The moment she entered the water, Xia Yao saw the system start a countdown of 1 minute and 15 seconds.
That's enough.
She began to paddle with her arms and swing her legs, swimming towards the boat with the metal box on her back.
With 15 seconds left on the countdown, she successfully swam to the boat.
Another nine NPCs also came down one after another carrying boxes.
Looking at the NPC's slow turtle-like movements and the increasingly turbulent sea around the ship, Xia Yao really wanted to speed them up with one click.
Sadly no :)
Bang! The bottom of the boat was suddenly hit!
The sea level began to roll and the ship shook violently. Xia Yao rushed to the bow and steered the ship to change direction.
The monster was right under their boat, staring intently at them!
Xia Yao's heart tightened. She held the rudder and accelerated her feet. In an instant, she made the small sail feel like a speedboat!
White waves splashed at the stern of the ship, and the black underwater monster was thrown away by her.
Seeing this, Xia Yao immediately changed the direction, turned the bow 90 degrees, and the boat returned to the bottom of the watchtower in an arc trajectory.
The nine soldiers waiting here boarded the ship one by one.
Xia Yao stepped on the accelerator and the boat rushed towards the shore like an arrow.
However, no matter how fast she drove the boat, an ominous premonition always lingered in her heart. This was the sensitivity cultivated by her years of gaming experience. Ordinary players might not be able to sense it, but she could, and most of the time it was very accurate.
The monster didn't leave.
This was the first thought that came to her mind.
She had to go ashore with supplies.
This was her second thought.
The boat quickly docked, and Xia Yao hurriedly sent the metal box to the shore. The port had a special parking lot for transportation. She had already greeted the port NPC before coming, so with the cooperation of people on and off the shore, the metal box was quickly loaded onto the car.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
The hair on my forehead was still dripping.
Suddenly, the water droplets condensed at the end of the hair tilted forward for a moment, Xia Yao's pupils turned upside down, and she quickly dodged to the side.
Crash!
An extremely huge head broke out from the sea, roaring and shrilly, as if it was celebrating having found its prey.
At the same time, a server-wide notice was refreshed at the top.
System: [World Boss [Deep Sea Python] has suddenly appeared in Casalon Port. Warriors, please go and destroy it!]
Players.
[What the hell? The port? Aren't there no monsters there?!]
[Official: Yes, dear, there are no wild monsters, but there is a world boss~]
[This kind of boss's rewards are definitely high. Enough talk, I'm going to charge!]
【Anyone who wants to form a team? Come quickly and leave immediately! 】
World Bosses rarely appear. They missed out on the last hidden boss, the Kraken, so this time they should finally get a taste of it! Even if they can't deal high damage, it's still good to be able to participate. After all, as long as they participate in the battle, the system will make up for it in the end.
All of a sudden, players from every corner of the continent put down their tasks and rushed to the port at lightning speed!
The first player to arrive spotted the giant python from afar. It tumbled out of the sea, and its huge body slammed onto the shore of the port with a loud bang, overturning trailers, containers and parking lots.
The players who originally wanted to show off suddenly hesitated.
Do they really want to deal with such a big python?
However, before they could think about it, suddenly, a tall figure flashed by in the distance, and then a long arrow broke through the air, drew an arc in the air, and finally hit the giant python's right eye accurately!
"It's number one!" The sharp-eyed player immediately recognized Xia Yao. "She dared to challenge the World Boss alone?"
I knew she was strong, but I never thought she could be this strong.
Watching her constantly moving back and forth under the giant python's venom attack, releasing skills one after another, a surge of blood inexplicably rushed to their heads!
"The boss isn't afraid of one person, so why should we be worried about a group of people? Charge!"
Then everyone cheered and waved their weapons, and colorful skills kept flying over the port. The blood of the giant python also decreased little by little under the players' hard hacking.
However, they forgot that the Python was a level 65 World Boss. For most players currently below level 30, there was a level penalty for attacking monsters above level 30. Their damage output was only 70% of their normal, while the Python could attack the player at 130%! If this level difference widened to level 40, the player would only be able to exert 60% of their strength, and the Python's attack would increase further to 140%.
As a world boss, his health is already very thick, but his output is forced to be lowered. Players look at the attack value that is much lower than usual, and feel that this piece of meat is a bit difficult to chew.
If just having their output reduced was already difficult enough, the python's skills made them suffer!
The scream inflicts a trembling debuff on players for three seconds, immobilizing them and preventing them from rescuing themselves. The python clearly seizes this opportunity, sweeping its head across the shore in a terrifying move, sweeping the players into the sea like soulless dolls.
[Ahhhh, fuck it! I wasn't killed by the boss, but was swept into the sea and drowned! I've never died so miserably!]
I used to be indifferent to swimming skills, but today I feel I am beyond their reach (沧桑.jpg)
[Wow, I just died and got deducted 300 gold coins. I feel so bad, TT]
"What's that? I just had a black iron armor made by a forger the day before yesterday, and it just fell into the sea..."
[Damn, a moment of silence from the brothers upstairs]
[Silence +1]
The players who were originally excited to go to the port to harvest the world boss did not dare to come back after being beaten this time. They knew their own strength very well. Giving away heads the first time was ignorant and they did not understand the situation. Giving away heads the second time was really stupid.
We are all ordinary players. It is not easy to save gold coins, and we cherish our equipment very much. If we lose one piece every time we die every time we charge, they will explode on the spot!
A group of noob players crowded at the resurrection point looked at each other, and then saw the word "tanking" in each other's eyes.
"Brother, I just saw you at the port. Are you still going?"
"No...my wallet is more important, what about you?"
"I'm not going either, and I swear I'll never go to the beach again in my life."
The crowded port soon became sparse due to the withdrawal of ordinary players. After the storm, the only ones left were either high-end players like Xia Yao or people from large guilds.
At this time, Bai Yexing, the vice president of Black and White Wind Shadow, was directing the team: "Melee fighters, retreat first, and ranged fighters, step up and deal damage."
Several melee players couldn't help but wonder, "Vice President, why are you withdrawing us?"
Their team's output was quite stable. Although they couldn't pull this behemoth, they still withstood the damage at the critical moment and prevented the mages and summoners in the back row from losing blood.
More importantly, the contributions of these three people have always been in the top ten. If nothing unexpected happens, they can remain stable until the end.
The rewards for the World Boss are much higher than those for the Leader Monster and Elite Monster. In addition to the experience points and gold coin rewards, the drop rate of incredible skill books and god-level equipment is also extremely high.
The three people couldn't understand why Bai Yexing asked them to retreat.
Bai Yexing's icy voice came through the voice: "If anyone has any questions, come down and find me."
This statement clearly states that no questioning is allowed. Anyone who dares to look for it is seeking death.
Although the three melee fighters felt uncomfortable, they did not dare to disobey and had to retreat to the rear in a depressed mood.
Ranged mages, summoners, and hunters all stepped forward, unleashing colorful skills in the front row.
This caused other melee combatants in the front row to be attacked all at once.
This is the mechanism of Eternity. Outside of the dungeon, there is no damage immunity between players, so when you are killing monsters in the wild, try to stand apart to avoid long-range damage to teammates in front of you.
But there is no way when fighting the world boss, and it is inevitable that you will be accidentally injured by other players.
The dozen or so melee fighters who had just been attacked were furious. After cursing the Black and White Wind Shadow's men, they continued to concentrate on their attacks.
Unexpectedly, just as they finished warning, a series of skills came up from behind!
"Fuck, they did it on purpose!"
"They plan to surround us first and then take the Boss for themselves!"
