Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 96 The Mermaid Appears
This task is a cyclical task. After the player collects 10 teardrops, they will receive this task again after handing over the props to Morgana.

Although the task description and requirements are exactly the same, there are no item rewards for the task, only experience gained after completion.

This is the first time the players have received such a task, so they tried to collect it again after receiving [Blood Merman's Tears] for the second time.

However, after receiving the same task for the third time, the player is obviously not willing to continue the boring task.

In order to collect a total of 20 teardrops, each player killed at least 50 blood sharks, counting the team of 5 people, it is really enough to vomit.

After accepting the mission for the third time, most players gave up decisively. Even though Morgana was full of benefits in appearance, players still wanted to see new monsters.

"Xiao Nuo, the player is getting impatient, tell me how to trigger the next task."

"wait."

"How long to wait?"

"10"

"Seven minutes?"

"9"

"It turned out to be seconds."

When the game system was counting down, the surrounding shallow water began to ebb, exposing the [White Crystal Grass] and the blood shark hidden in the water.

The number of blood sharks exposed was close to a hundred. After the fight, the players had already eaten their food. If there was another [emergency battle], I am afraid that everyone would die here.

"Bad review, the difficulty suddenly increased, and it took advantage of our unpreparedness."

"Fight once, I feel that there may be a few people left alive."

"Sit down and recover, and stay in good shape."

The blood sharks approached the player without haste, and the safe zone began to shrink. The player surrounded the NPCs in the middle, and there were countless monsters outside.

As long as one is attacked, all monsters will attack forward due to a chain reaction.

"This is not a mission, is it?"

"Information is part of the plot."

Just when the monsters were about to approach, a water column rushed out of the ground, rushing the Blood Merman into the sky, then the water column dissipated, and all the falling monsters were thrown to death.

The shallow water area was filled with sea water again, and at the same time, the traces left by these monsters were washed away.

"It's a shame, I can't find the bone fragments that were given to me for nothing."

Wang Yue said relaxedly, and several figures emerged from the bottom of the water, but fortunately, these figures are all green names, that is, the merman that the players are looking for, the merman who has not been polluted.

The difference from the blood merman is that the merman has blue scales on his body, and his body is cleaner and cleaner. He holds a consistent three-pronged harpoon in his hand, which looks much more formal than the living dead under Wang Yue.

"Well, it looks okay on the outside, but this level is almost."

[Merman Guardian: The merman living in the body of the giant whale guards the last holy place of the merman]

【Level: 10】

Like the cat people in the Ice Fortress, the mermen are also a member of the half-orc race. They also escaped from the massacre and drifted to this deserted island.

Relying on the protection of the giant whale, the mermaids gained a short period of peace, but now there seems to be a mutation, the corrosion has invaded the body of the giant whale, transforming some of the mermen into violent blood mermen.

"The symptoms of berserk are the same as those of monsters in other places on the island. The trials will lead to demons, and these demons are the culprits that cause the monsters to be berserk."

Wang Yue has already fully understood the plot line of the closed beta, as long as someone can complete all the trials, then the darkness on the island will be purified, and the heroic mission of the players will be completed.

"Adventurers who came from afar, we already know your purpose from the singing, but our queen is in danger, I hope you can gather some herbs for her."

[Mission Objective: White Crystal Grass (0/12)]

[Task Reward: Merman Wrap, Merman Dagger, Merman Boots]

After accepting the task, each player will get a [Temporary Magic Saw] that lasts for 5 minutes, which is specially used to cut the white crystal grass.

The saw is made by mermen using ice energy. The tool itself is a piece of ice, which has excellent compatibility with herbs.

"Not to mention why saws are used to collect herbs, why do sharks give us shoes, don't they have feet?"

"You gave it to us as equipment because you don't have feet, are you stupid?"

With new tools, players will of course have to try them out.

The No.1 player started to cut back and forth on the herbs with the ice saw. After grinding for an unknown amount of time, the rocky herbs finally broke off from the roots.

"Sneak attack, scare me."

After he successfully gathered the herbs, a blue ghost floated from the roots, the ghost floated in the air, and the sword and shield were held by invisible hands.

After hesitating for three seconds, its name changed from a yellow name to a red name, aiming to attack the herb collector.

[Guardian of White Crystal Grass: The soul that fell into the water resides in the herb, and you released it]

【Level: 9】

After brushing dozens of blood sharks, the player's level has also reached level 9. They have all learned the third skill, and their combat power has improved significantly.

The player who was attacked was a mage, and the third skill he learned was not the [Fireball] cast by Dolly, but the [Freeze] that controlled it.

The mage can instantly cast an ice shock wave on the target, freezing the enemies along the way for 3 seconds, and the enemies will get out of control if they receive any damage during this period.

After relying on the new skills to distance themselves, mage players bombarded the monsters, and in the end they didn't even have a chance to show the monster's skills.

With the first player as a sample, the other players also knew that herbal medicine was not so easy to collect, and they began to cooperate one after another, collecting and attacking the ghosts one by one.

"It can dodge, I can't hit it at all."

"You're so wrong, it's a matter of probability, you see I hit them all."

"Even spells have a chance to resist, this ghost is too difficult to deal with."

Fat Cat and Maple Leaf formed a team, both of them used physical attacks, and the fight was extremely painful.

However, Fat Cat relied on her obsession with [Backstab], and she found that as long as she attacked from behind, the ghost could not dodge her attack.

She didn't share her discovery with Maple Leaf, but secretly used this knock on the door herself. When it was Maple Leaf's turn to attack, she secretly watched her worry about hitting the empty target.

"How come you almost didn't miss, you are so lucky."

"I've been lucky, everybody says so."

Some players will encounter a situation where they can't hit even once, and then they will be beaten to residual blood by ghosts.

If it weren't for the kindness of the players here, the players who saw the remaining blood would give a sip, and he would become the first existence to be killed by monsters of the same level because of bad luck.

However, the players' cutting went smoothly, and they all completed the amount required by the task before the ice saw completely melted.

The sharks were very satisfied, they summoned water bubbles to envelop everyone.

The bubble began to take the players to the surface of the water. It pushed away the herbs growing in the ground and continued to dive into the lightless depths.

The merman accompanied the players outside the water bubble, escorting the players to the place where they lived, and sang wordless melodies along the way, letting the singing float in the sea water.
