The Blood Sea Wave, seething with murderous intent, scoured every corner of the sunken ship, leaving nothing untouched. Now that trash has nothing to rely on and has to face me head-on!
— System Prompt: Dear user, the user you are looking for is not in the current service area.
Not being in the service area definitely doesn't mean offline. It means that the guy entered another scene! Meaning, he stole my fruits!
Blood Sea Wave gritted his teeth in anger, such a tremendous sense of defeat was something he had never experienced before!
Blood Sea Wave really doesn't care about equipment. He has money; he can buy as much equipment as he wants! But he absolutely hates the feeling of defeat! From childhood, whether in academics or fights, Blood Sea Wave had never lost! He has always considered himself superior in both intellect and physique.
But the fact that the guy killed him three times is true, and no matter how unwilling or resentful, Blood Sea Wave has to face the reality that he is an opponent that cannot be taken lightly. However, this is the Divine-level Hero trial arranged by the system for me, not him - although I have to admit that his talent is strange, it isn't combat talent, so it won't be easy for him! Without a Magic Book, without a single soldier, what can a lone gunner with a slow-loading Crossbow Cannon do?
Right, at least the system hasn't indicated that my trial failed yet, there's still a Magic Book BOSS, and the ship is still here, I still have advantages, although not clear, I still have a chance to turn things around! Not for equipment, not for rewards, but just to win!
Blood Sea Wave returned to the cabin and suddenly noticed that the BOSS summoning zombies had significantly increased in number, with them practically stepping on each other's heels in the corridor. Needless to say, it must be the negative effect on the trial caused by that trash entering another scene, but good, I was worried about leveling up too slowly, let there be more zombies, I'll level up and kill in delight!
...
World of the Dead.
Bone servants landing from east, west, north, and south, Da Fei, exhausted, was rushing around trying to intercept them.
Damn! Can't they just attack from one direction! Can't they stop making me run everywhere, it's so draining!
The situation was getting more and more severe; the pace and number of monsters respawning were increasing. The mini-map was crowded with Bone Fish landing from all directions, with Da Fei's defense circle gradually shrinking down to a small circle around the Captain.
No way! How can I defend like this? Unless I was an archer, one shot per fish! Da Fei, in desperation, began sweating profusely.
Finally, a Bone Fish successfully passed through Da Fei's barrier and struck the Captain conducting the ritual -1! Damn! Da Fei quickly turned and speared it to death.
The Captain immediately said: "Adventurer, protect me well. I have no spare energy to counter external invasions! If I fail, I will fall into eternal doom!"
My heart just shattered! So if the trial fails, the Epic Hero is gone too?
Da Fei finally understood why the system had arranged for two players to undergo this trial on the island. This sort of all-around siege is definitely not something one player can handle!
Isn't this just screwing me over? It's not that I want to hog it all, it's that the idiot had no intention of cooperating! It's not my fault! Oh heavens, oh seas, I admit I've made many mistakes years ago, but is there really a need to send an idiot to torment me?
Watching more and more monsters landing around, Da Fei was burning with anxiety! What do I do? What do I do?! Is this Heroic Trial seriously this difficult? Do two players really need to team up? Well, yes, if the United States and the Soviet Union can join hands, then cooperation with the idiot isn't impossible!
Hey Captain, do you know I can't complete the mission alone? If it's not possible, just say it, don't rush to start the instance, give me some time to slowly talk to that fool, it's not entirely hopeless. Now if you screw me over, I can pretend I never saw you, but if you're risking your own life, that doesn't make sense!
Wait, wait, I still have one thing! Da Fei hurriedly opened the package.
-- Demonized Poisonous Anemone King Seed: Soldier Source Base. In certain environments, it can cultivate new troop types like the Demonized Poisonous Anemone. There's a slight chance of cultivating a Demonized Poisonous Anemone King. Building conditions: Unknown
This thing is guaranteed to drop from the first kill of the BOSS. Meaning, if the trial players hadn't found that hidden wild BOSS before, by the time they reach this step, they must defeat this BOSS and thus will definitely get this item.
What if I plant this base right here? Generally speaking, at least one soldier is present in a troop base as soon as it's completed, and I just lack one soldier! Even if it's just a Tier-1 soldier, under Renior's incredible attack and defense buffs, it'd be an instant kill, no questions! It's totally worth sacrificing a troop base to keep the Epic Hero, especially since it's hard to sell an unknown troop base for a high price.
But the problem is, when will it be completed? And of course, the most important question, can it actually be planted here? This is the Undead Realm, not exactly a place where normal life can exist!
Damn it! At a time like this, why am I even considering! I've never hesitated when buying lottery tickets! I'll plant it right next to the Captain; at worst, it can act as a wall to block one side, turning a four-sided siege into a three-sided one.
-- System Prompt: Are you sure you want to use the Demonized Poisonous Anemone King Seed here?
-- System Prompt: This place is not under your Kingdom's territory, your base could be destroyed or occupied by opposing forces at any time. Additionally, the Demonized Poisonous Anemone King Seed is an unknown organism, and its growth and building conditions are unknown. Your planting might likely fail, and once it fails, you will lose the Demonized Poisonous Anemone King Seed.
Screw it, confirm!
-- System Prompt: Since the conditions for planting the Demonized Poisonous Anemone King Seed are unknown, please attempt to configure resource distribution.
Resource distribution? How would I know what resources it needs! Wait!
Da Fei suddenly thought of the first hidden Anemone King they had encountered by the giant whale skull! Why were there some barrels filled with resources there? Why was there also an Anemone King on the ship?
The system has already told me the answer! This Anemone King must have grown by absorbing the goods on the ship! As for the small anemones in the wild, they must have also grown by absorbing nutrients from the goods unloaded from the ship. If I only found them on the ship, how would I know what nutrients they needed? But the hidden BOSS we encountered in the wild clearly told me, the resources it needs to grow must be the Concentrated Mercury, Refined Crystal Sulfur, and Mithril found in the barrels! That's it!
Da Fei immediately put all the resources he had picked up at that time into the deployment list, confirm!
This is a unique top-tier resource from the New World, equivalent to 10 units of regular resources. Even constructing a recruitment center for level 7 angels only requires 20 units each of normal wood, stone, crystal, and gemstones. I'm using the standards for constructing a level 7 building on you, I've put all my start-up funds into this, you must succeed!
— System Prompt: You have planted the Demonized Poisonous Anemone King Seed, please wait patiently for the results.
At the same time, a flashing red light circle appeared under Da Fei's feet, with a progress bar slowly moving forward.
Holy crap, never mind if it succeeds or fails for now, how long do you want me to wait? No matter, at this point let's just do everything we can and leave the rest to fate!
Bone servants surrounded him as usual, Da Fei fought bravely, wielding his gun, defending left and right, lunging east and saving west.
In the heat of the moment, another bone servant broke through the interception and rushed forward, right on the red circle of the construction site. Da Fei hurriedly rushed over and stabbed it to death, and in that instant, the Bone Fire in the bone servant's skull turned into a wisp of blue smoke and flew into the red circle, meanwhile, the building progress bar visibly moved up by a small notch!
Da Fei was suddenly struck by a realization! This Anemone doesn't eat plants; it consumes higher-grade Soul Power! No wonder there was a giant whale skull next to the first Anemone King!
With this new discovery, Da Fei changed his tactics, no longer defending against enemies outside the national gate, but instead letting the enemies advance unchecked.
The Captain urgently said, "Adventurer, I've been hit again!"
Da Fei immediately replied, "Hang in there, Captain, I have a secret weapon!" After speaking, he stabbed another bone servant to death, its Bone Fire turning into blue smoke contributing a small notch in the progress bar.
Hahaha! Looking at the way this progress bar is set up, my planting is very likely to succeed! Da Fei was filled with immense confidence at that moment, continuously finishing off the bone servants assaulting the Captain, their Bone Fires all being absorbed, and the construction progress quickly passed one-fifth.
Meanwhile, the Captain kept complaining, "Adventurer, although I'm not very concerned about this bit of damage, it is really affecting my concentration!"
Da Fei laughed and said, "Well then, Captain, please focus fully and ignore these ants." After speaking, he leisurely killed another bone servant.
Now Da Fei was getting more and more the hang of it, ensuring that most bone servants were killed before they could attack the Captain, and ensuring that the light circle could absorb the nutrients.
Shortly after, a golden light descended from the sky!
— System Prompt: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 11, you have gained 1 free attribute point, you have gained 1 skill point, your life increased by +2, your command power increased by +1.
I leveled up! Has leveling up become difficult after level 10? No! This experience is fantastic! Killing level 0 soldiers feels like getting the experience of level 4 soldiers, where else in this life could I encounter such a thrilling thing?
And just at that moment, a black and silver protrusion burst through the ground in the red circle of the base! Sprouting? Succeeded? Hahaha, continue!
After a while, the Captain's long sword flashed with light, thunder roared from the sky, and the island shook violently!
The Captain solemnly said, "We have entered the second phase now, more powerful enemies are about to appear, you must hold the line."
Powerful enemies huh! I was just thinking these bone servants weren't up to par. Da Fei busily said, "No problem, rest assured."
Ripples surged on the sea surface, a large monster with a snake tail and dragon head, engulfed in black smoke, slithered ashore. Is this the Undead Naga?
Old rule, kill it when it gets close. I believe that the Captain, a hero with 60 points of strategic defense, countless points of personal defense, and 60% damage reduction as a Grandmaster-level Epic Hero, can easily withstand it.
Close enough! Stab with the spear, -53! It didn't die! This blood volume far exceeds level 4 soldiers!
— System Prompt: You have obtained incomplete information about the Nether Sea Supervisor!
Getting closer, strike first before it acts, another stab, -17!
— System Prompt: You have killed a Nether Sea Supervisor, earning 90 experience points!
90 experience points! This Undead Sea Monster is too strong... well, too juicy! So juicy that I'm not even interested in looking up their information! Sending experience, feeding fertilizer, I like it the most, hahaha!
