Chapter 247 B-level cracks are coming! Night has arrived!
Accompanied by the roar of the waves, thick black clouds continued to press across the sky, swallowing up the last ray of daylight.
It is only five o'clock in the afternoon and there are still two hours until dusk. However, accompanied by huge dark clouds, the entire Poseidon Island has been shrouded in darkness.
The momentum is fierce——
As night fell, Chen Qi's body became hot and he became more and more excited due to the alcohol.
The lighthouse keeper of Poseidon Island also pushed open the door of the tavern with both hands:
"Hunters, Seagod Island requests your support. Everyone can exchange Shadow Beast Cores and Creeping Shadows for Shells! There are also exchange points!
I swear by the goddess of the sea! Poseidon Island will never betray its promise! I hope you can protect this damaged town!"
The current caretaker of Poseidon Island is a pragmatic man. Unlike others, he did not promise illusory rewards, but instead gave a simple exchange rule.
One shadow beast core can be exchanged for one contribution point, and one creeping shadow can be exchanged for 50,000 shells.
Among them, the Shadow Beast Core is a guaranteed drop item, and any slightly stronger Shadow Beast will drop it.
However, the Shadow Beast Core has almost no use other than forging Shadow Beast Puppet, and is a piece of garbage material worth no more than five hundred shells.
Two hundred contribution points were equivalent to one hundred thousand shells, which was enough to exchange for a skill card or a rare material.
For some extraordinary people with large-scale killing power, this is a good task that is hard to come by.
The creeping shadow is an underestimated good thing...Chen Qi frowned.
As if he wanted to go the monster route, he needed a lot of creeping shadows.
As for the drops from other shadow beasts, they are extremely rare and there is no need to sell them.
“Not a bad exchange—”
Chen Qi drank the wine in one gulp, stood up and stretched his muscles.
"Everyone! Let's go!"
Following the words of the lighthouse keeper, more than two hundred hunters excitedly took out their weapons, adjusted their equipment, walked out of the tavern, and began to prepare to hunt the wave of shadow beasts.
Chen Qi also followed the crowd out of the tavern, looking towards the dock and the long black line at the end of his sight.
The seashore near the pier has been driven into the ground with wood. Each thick piece of wood appears to be extremely solid. They are deeply embedded in the seabed and are coated with special fuel made from will-o'-the-wisp oil, burning with fierce flames.
In addition, there were as many as a thousand artillery batteries, loaded with incendiary bombs, neatly arranged at the dock, forming an unbreakable artillery defense line.
Dozens of hammer craftsmen are urgently reinforcing the dock's defense facilities. They skillfully nail wooden stakes, build walls with mud, reinforce ropes, and load incendiary shells to ensure that every detail can withstand the test of the shadow beast tide.
And everyone was wearing a variety of equipment, from fishermen to guards, to townspeople, all of them had solemn expressions, with determination flashing in their eyes.
The two hundred hunters did not slack off at all and each showed their strongest form.
The five White Tower hunters beside him also took out lanterns, tied them around their waists, lit them, and finally took out a steam serrated knife and started it.
Melanie, like a magician, took out a box of cards and stuffed them into every corner of her hunter suit.
As a card master, you must be able to take out cards from anywhere.
"Little brother, you seem to have some misunderstanding about our strength."
Melanie twisted her neck, making a crisp sound.
In Melanie's opinion, the reason why Chen Qi still resisted them was because he didn't know how powerful their White Tower Hunters were!
These six people are all elites, and she, Melanie, is the elite among the elites!
An ordinary third-level transcendent couldn't even last three moves at Melanie's hands.
"There is also a gap between a third-level veteran and a third-level fledgling."
Melanie gently squeezed the card in her hand.
"Indeed, the gap between the third level and the third level is greater than the gap between the third level and the first level."
Chen Qi did not deny it and took out his daytime lantern.
He had spent some time this morning repairing some of the defects of the daylight lantern and modified it by painting it black to prevent it from being recognized by familiar people in white cloaks.
Suddenly, Chen Qi felt a huge shadow pressing on him.
Chen Qi gripped the black knife tightly and said:
"It's coming—"
A tall White Tower Federation hunter smiled:
"Is it coming? Hunter, the Shadow Tide is still very far away from us, there is no need to be so nervous..."
No... Chen Qi said indifferently:
"Ms. Melanie, your subordinates seem to lack knowledge. The shadow tide of the B-level rift is not that simple."
"My teaching problem."
Melanie put away the card and her eyes turned serious.
Chen Qi snapped his fingers, injected spiritual power, and lit the lantern in his hand.
When everyone heard Chen Qi's words, they couldn't help but feel something and quickened their actions.
Suddenly, a huge pressure pressed down on everyone. The lanterns in their hands and the miner's lamps on their heads were suddenly extinguished along with a gust of wind.
A crack prompt pops up.
[You have touched the crack, inspiration is being identified...]
[Inspiration is being evaluated...]
【Inspiration identification was a great success! 】
[Crack Name: Shadow Tide Night
Level: B
Number limit: None!
Level restriction: None!
Sexual appearance: Shadow
Description: Once upon a time, there was a wealthy kingdom with a powerful army and a prosperous economy. Until a greedy prince, for the treasure under the ground, dug up the cracks and opened the door of the sewer, attracting a terrifying existence from another dimension - the Shadow Demon.
They came from the sewers and made the kingdom their land.
They are inextinguishable and can regenerate infinitely as long as there is darkness. They are extremely hungry and thirsty for all spiritual creatures.
In just seven nights, the kingdom of hundreds of thousands of people turned into wasteland, and the huge civilization became a desolate ruin.
And now, this terrifying existence from another world is coveting this extremely wealthy island and your spiritually rich bodies. 】
[They come again from another world, eager to devour you humans! ]
An extremely special bright red reminder is reflected in everyone's mind.
This is the B-level crack! Chen Qi clenched his sword tightly, shaking with excitement.
This was his first time challenging a B-level crack since he came to this world.
At this moment, the prompt for the clearance conditions suddenly popped up.
[Clearance conditions: Survive the Night of Shadow Tide!
Additional clearance condition: Defeat the Shadow Beast Tide. 】
[Reminder: If the Shadow Beast Tide cannot be defeated during the day, the entire human island will become part of the crack and become the world's ruins that must be cut off.]
As long as you are alive, you can pass the level. It is really a simple condition to pass the level... Chen Qi looked at him for inspiration.
[You gain inspiration: special knowledge of Shadow Tide Night, Hand of Shadow, Dark Night, and Spread of Fear.]
[Shadow Hand: In the dark land, dark shadow beasts will constantly emerge. In addition, there is also a weak shadow hand. They are extremely weak and have a very low sense of existence, but they can silently extinguish the light source near you. ]
[Pitch-black Night: On this night, darkness will have a strong visual and inspiration-blocking effect. At the same time, light will become dim at night.]
[Fear Spread: In the dark night, the shadow beast will absorb the power of fear and use it to evolve itself, becoming more powerful. At the same time, once you feel fear towards the shadow beast, its power will be absorbed.]
[Your light phase is triggered! Get extra special enlightenment! ]
[Shadow Weaver: In the dense waves, you seem to see a huge monster with antlers sitting quietly on a long table and slowly walking into the town.]
Four inspirations...Chen Qi fell into deep thought.
The tall young man in the white tower was startled, and spoke out the three inspirations he had received, "Hand of Shadow", "Dark Night", and "Spread of Fear":
"Brothers! Look at me, I am a hunter from the White Tower. Listen to me as I read out the additional rules of the Rift! We are already in the Rift, and there will be special monsters that will extinguish our lights!"
"Also, don't be afraid. Your fear will be absorbed by the shadow beasts, making them even stronger."
Generally speaking, inspiration is the secret of extraordinary people.
But at this moment, the huge sense of oppression brought by the B-level crack made them put aside their selfishness and fight the monster with all their strength!
These three pieces of inspirational information are crucial.
Chen Qi listened quietly to the words of the young man in the white tower, and then took another look at his own inspiration.
The extraordinary people in the White Tower are known for their inspiration, but there was no mention of the 'Shadow Weaver' in his words.
This is my unique inspiration...Chen Qi thought to himself.
Those who believe in the Principle of Light and have high enough inspiration, in addition to predicting crises, also have a very small chance of gaining extremely special enlightenment within the cracks.
And the Shadow Weaver is a very important enlightenment.
Chen Qi was deeply impressed by this monster.
In the game forum, this is one of the few neutral shadow beast creatures that only appears in pure shadow cracks. As long as a task is completed, it can help the player forge extremely special shadow equipment.
It can give all equipment a strong shadow transformation! It even sells the pure shadow-type third-level class card "Shadow Fiend" and even the fourth-level legendary class card.
An extremely rare NPC that is hard to come by!
Chen Qi couldn't help but get excited. He was lucky this time with the film boom.
But according to his revelation, the place where the Shadow Weaver appeared was in the town?
Because of the Shadow Tide, most of the defenses were built on the docks.
Are these monsters going to go around?
Chen Qi turned around and looked at the streets of Poseidon Island.
The area of Poseidon Island consists of two parts: the first part is the urban area, and the second part is the research area of the Poseidon Pirates.
Among them, the research area is the residence of pirates, where various experiments of the Poseidon Pirates are carried out, and it also contains a secret passage leading to their real base.
The urban areas are very monotonous, occupying one third of Poseidon Island. Apart from the hunters, there are tens of thousands of residents. Many of the residents are just ordinary residents who do ordinary work, work hard to live, and believe in the Goddess of the Sea.
When facing shadow beasts, they are natural providers of fear fuel.
The urban area of Poseidon Island does not have many defenses. Compared with the middle area, the defenses of the dock and the research area are several times stronger.
I have to go for a walk in town... Chen Qi set a simple goal.
The dark clouds in the sky became denser and denser, forming a huge shadowy hand.
At this moment, the final hint of the crack popped up.
【Night has come.】
With a slight click, on Poseidon Island, the light bulb of the world, the bright day hanging high in the sky, seemed to be extinguished by a dark hand and was instantly shrouded in shadow.
The lighting range of the efficient lantern, which was originally able to illuminate a hundred meters, also became dim and quickly shrank to within ten meters.
"Where's Laozi's sunshine?"
"Why is the light source range of my lantern only three meters?!"
"There are hands! There are hands! They are pinching my light secretly! And there are hands touching my butt secretly!"
"Where's the Shadow Tide? How long will it take for the Shadow Tide to arrive?!"
Even with the lantern, the whole world was still plunged into darkness.
Chen Qi picked up the daytime lantern in his hand and looked around.
He seemed to be in a game. Apart from the five-meter range within the lantern, he could only see the surrounding light sources.
And these light sources are also extremely dim——
Melanie, a knowledgeable person, explains:
"Everyone, don't be afraid. The extinguishing of the daylight is only a special situation that exists in the Sea God Island. This is a B-level crack. It is a small world in itself. In this crack, even shadow beasts that are afraid of light become extremely powerful in this world."
Melanie's status is very high, and many people gradually calmed down after hearing what Melanie said.
"By the way, Hunter, now, you still won't join your sister's team?"
Melanie approached Chen Qi, ready to appreciate his frightened expression and comfort him at the same time.
According to her knowledge of psychology, when two people are in a high-stress, terrifying environment, one of them is likely to mistake the tense and exciting emotions as the attraction of someone nearby.
Through the suspension bridge effect, as well as my erudition and beauty, I can make him work for our White Tower and become our White Tower's spy... Melanie looked at Chen Qi confidently.
However, it was beyond her expectations.
Instead of seeing any fear on Chen Qi's face, she saw excitement, a hint of crazy excitement.
Chen Qi said silently:
"In addition to the shadow tide, shadow beasts will continue to be born in the darkness. I choose to patrol the town. I will deal with the shadow beasts in the town."
"Hmm? Town?"
Melanie blinked, there was no doubt that the incoming wave of shadows was the real deal!
Why? Before Melanie could ask, Chen Qi took the lantern and left the range of her lantern.
…
…
street.
"The art of lighting a lamp."
Chen Qi snapped his fingers, and the daylight lantern in his hand became brighter.
In addition, the effect of 'Monsters in the Night' is also being activated.
[You trigger the effect of the monster in the night, mental resistance is reduced, and all attributes are improved. ]
Chen Qi could feel the strength of his body's muscles, the emergence of spiritual power, and the restlessness of his brain.
"The flesh is cut and the bones are broken."
"Touch of the ember."
Chen Qi muttered to himself as the tide covered his body, transforming it into a hunter's suit, and no tentacles grew from behind him.
As he was promoted to the third level and his all-attribute attributes were improved by the 'Monster of the Night', the twisted tentacles behind him became thicker and more twisted than ever before!
Now, the darkness brought by the pitch-black night created a visual obstruction effect, allowing him to freely use the Touch of the Ember to cut flesh and sever bones without worrying about being discovered by others.
Chen Qi slowly exhaled a breath of red air:
"The hunt begins."
…
…
“Woo——”
On the dark street, a ferocious and brutal figure, like a bear or a deer, hid in the darkness inside a door, waiting for the arrival of its prey, waiting to absorb the fear of human beings and then devour their spiritual power.
I don’t know how long it waited, but finally, it heard footsteps, and couldn’t help but bare its fangs and went out of the door.
And the moment it went out, he saw a pair of eyes, a pair of cold and strange pupils.
Just like that, it looked at each other, and under the gaze of those cold pupils, it saw the whole appearance of the other party.
This is an unidentified monster with dark tentacles on its back, a terrifying monster holding a lantern, like a black hole.
