Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 97 Break through the siege
To be precise, the first shallow water area that players arrive at is just the throat of the giant whale, through the white crystal grass accumulated in the throat, they can reach the stomach submerged in sea water.

This place originally belonged to the pure holy land of sharks, but the blue sea water has been mixed with a lot of red.

The water is filled with air bubbles, allowing the creatures living in the water to breathe freely.

These bubbles are also spit out by giant whales, but the number of bubbles is decreasing day by day, and it seems that the vitality of giant whales is also gradually passing away.

On the bottom of the sea, apart from the giant whale remaining motionless in the deep sea, there is also a phantom quietly approaching.

Inside the giant whale, the players watched the cutscene again. They dived with the bubbles, and when they passed through the dark esophagus, they could vaguely see the wound on the wall of the esophagus.

After passing the entire esophagus, the bubbles slide the player along the stomach wall to the corner.

Here is a bigger map, and there is a new name [Shaman Holy Land] in the game interface of the players.

There is no doubt that this is the home of the mermaids, but the situation is different now, outsiders occupy more than half of the holy land, only the giant blue bubble in the center is still resisting the outside world.

In the edge corner of the map, some players who finished watching the movie ran away, just to reach the new stronghold in front of them ahead of time.

"Adventurers, please don't worry, this will expose our position."

The players were blocked when they walked to 50 meters. After a closer look, it turned out that the wall of the water flow blocked their way.

Even if they return to the Shark, they will not be able to receive the task for the time being, and can only stand aside and enjoy the plot.

"I have already felt the mark on your body, please forgive us for not being able to help you with the next trial at the moment."

The mermen respected Wang Yue, and one of their missions was to help complete the trial and drive away the demons.

But the demons have already arrived at the mermaid's lair, and it is already very difficult for them to protect themselves.

"Our queen is in crisis and urgently needs us to send these herbs to the palace. If the queen dies, the barrier protecting the palace will disappear immediately."

Mermaids have no feet, they can only bow to express their requests.

[Mission objective: break through the demon siege]

[Task Reward: Merman's Blessing]

Merman's Blessing is a regional BUFF. After receiving the blessing, it will continue to take effect in the map. Once you leave the BUFF, it will disappear.

"The blessing effect is an increase in swimming speed, which should be a preparation for our underwater battle."

"It's not bad. Although we can breathe underwater, our movement speed is only 60% of that on the shore, and we are completely passive."

"Look at those sharks, they swim faster than me riding a snowman."

Wang Yue was also worried about the slow movement. The task was to break through the siege, so fighting and fleeing were inevitable. If he wanted to keep all the players, it would be very difficult for him alone.

"Don't worry, adventurers, you will bring important herbs, and we will open the way ahead."

The No.1 player accepted the task, and the task countdown "15 minutes" appeared on the interface, and at the same time, there was a [merman guard] behind him.

"Everyone accepted it together, and then we rushed over in a group."

There is no parallel map, and the more people there are, the easier this type of task is.

Because of the time limit, the player who accepted the mission first urged the players who were watching behind.

Players who have experienced many battles together are no nonsense, they accepted the mission at the same time, 20 players with 20 level 10 NPC guards, the lineup should not be too luxurious.

Coupled with the fact that the leader [Wang Yue] is in front, even if the enemy is unknown, the players feel that they have a huge advantage.

There are countless white crystals in the Holy Land, and each of the huge crystals is three meters high, just blocking the line of sight.

But these crystals are only found at the edge of the map, and the crystals in the center are almost all crushed by demons. As long as they leave the edge, it means entering a dangerous area.

"Look, in addition to the blood sharks we've seen, there are also squid-like creatures."

"Is Mr. Ke a believer? Let me see."

The demons are patrolling the map, and the patrolling monsters are two blood mermen plus a new monster named [Faceless].

"Faceless? Isn't that a late game monster?"

Wang Yue carefully checked the instructions on the game interface, and found that the level of the monster was 10.

But he clearly remembered that when he created this monster, he deliberately placed them on the map after level 90.

"The data has been found. The setting of the Faceless Man was made by Wang Yue. Its strength is the highest level of the player on the current map + 1, so their level is 10."

"As expected of my setting, under such a setting, the monster is the hamster's roller. Fighting against it will make the player stronger and stronger, which is very reasonable."

The bragging is over, and Wang Yue has to taste her own design results.

The monsters in the late stage not only have changes in characteristics, but the trouble is the diversity of skills.

Monsters can only comprehend one new skill every time they are upgraded, and the upper limit of skills is four.

The strength of the Faceless is that it can learn the skills of other creatures. Even if it has only two skill caps at level 10, it can still copy the number of skills that exceed this cap in battle.

"I just don't know if there will be bone fragments in the Faceless. If I can summon the undead of this monster, there will be almost no opponents at the same level."

The patrolling monster squad has a three-dimensional patrol trajectory, which is harder to see than the patrolling monsters on land.

If one person completes the task alone, it may be a headache how to avoid it, but now the scale of the legion migration, all strategies have been changed to firepower sweeping.

"Mages and poets should control their mana well. Hunters should only use ordinary shooting as much as possible, and don't use melee combat. Your mermen will keep up and charge forward."

The monsters still abide by the rules. Even after seeing so many players, they still wait until the players approach the 30-meter range before attacking.

But the players didn't care, the power of [Frost Arrow] and [Wind Blade] cast underwater remained unchanged, and even the shooting speed of the wooden arrow was only slowed down, but the damage caused was no different from that on land.

What's even more exaggerated is the 【Flame Arrow】 that takes effect in the water. Although the fire attribute spells can take effect, there is no flame in the performance, only the scorching steam arrow rushing towards the monster.

"It's still because there are too many players, and there is no room for the skills of the Faceless Man."

Wang Yue watched the monster team being bombarded to death by the players, without even having time to cast a skill.

The leader of the monster team [Faceless] only stole the [Frost Arrow] from his younger brother, and died suddenly before he had a chance to learn the skills of the players.

However, after the players walked halfway, the monsters from the demon side seemed to have discovered this group of intruders.

The number of monster squads began to surge, and more creatures caught up from behind.

When the firepower can't suppress the opponent, the scene enters the rhythm of confrontation.

The [Frost Arrow] of the monsters is even more of a deceleration weapon, and the melee fighters have to join the battle, making the pace of progress even slower.
