Chapter 819 819. Polar Night Storm 55
We waited until the fourth group of people set off. At this time, less than an hour had passed since the first group of people set off.

After all, the duration of the potion is only five minutes in total, and they all need to come out in advance just in case, so the actual time spent by each batch of people is less than five minutes.

Even including them accepting everyone's inquiries and explaining the situation after they came out, the total time spent here would only take less than ten minutes at most.

This progress is not slow, it can even be said to be surprisingly smooth.

With the departure of the fourth group of people, perhaps because of the success of the previous group, everyone's worries have subsided a lot now.

But the moment they successfully entered the storm, the roar of wild beasts suddenly came from around them.

A wild beast is coming!
This is everyone's first reaction!

Because their attention had been on the storm, they almost forgot that the place they were in was not a safe territory, but a forest full of dangers.

It is normal for wild beasts to appear in the forest, but they happened to appear at this time, which inevitably caught them off guard.

Su You reacted quickly. She quickly organized some people to guard the outside. These people gave priority to those who had already entered the storm and could not enter again in a short period of time.

"Lyle, you lead them to guard the perimeter against the beasts. If necessary, you can lead the beasts to the storm." Su You didn't know the number of beasts and other conditions, but this did not affect her use of existing resources.

Storms are natural disasters that even exotic beasts cannot fight against, let alone ordinary beasts.

If the number of beasts is small and they can be dealt with, then just kill them, and even grill them on the spot for everyone to eat. Meck is here, and he must be very willing to show off his skills.

If there are too many beasts and they can't deal with them, then use the storm to kill the beasts. Anyway, they have potions, and the storm can't do anything to them, but if the beasts get close to the storm casually, it will be a dead end.

However, the beast is not that stupid. Even though it knows the danger of the storm, it still approaches, so Su You mostly uses the storm to drive the beast away.

Lyle received the order, and Meck and the others took the others to deal with the beasts that heard the noise. As for the others, their attention returned to the storm.

With the experience of the dozens of people in front of them, the fourth group of people can really be said to be entering the storm by stepping on the shoulders of giants. They know the existence of cracks, know how to use wind power, and know how to attack cracks...

Perhaps it was because they knew everything, that less than half a minute after they completely entered the storm, Su You saw the power of the storm drop by a dozen points!

Su You was startled, but quickly realized that they must have launched an attack on the crack, but for some reason, the power dropped by more than ten points and then stopped.

After another ten seconds, the storm power dropped again, this time by more than 20 points, and the value continued to decline, but it was not as dramatic as at the beginning, but one or two points. Three o'clock slowly dropped.

It's not as fast as it was in the beginning, but it's pretty good.

Suyou looked at the time and the information panel, while also checking Lyle's situation with the beast.

There is currently about half the time left before the fourth group of people finish their potions, but because they need to come out early, they actually only have about half a minute left for each of them.

At this time, the original motivation of '3613' points has become '3530' due to their continuous efforts, and this number is still declining.

After a while, the storm power remained at '3511' and stopped. Some people nearby said they saw someone coming out of it. Su You just breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw the number that was originally motionless jump from '3511' to '3479'.

Su You had a question mark on her face: Why did it drop by more than 30 points again?

While this is a good thing, it is not normal!
Didn’t you say that everyone has come out?
How come the power has dropped, and it has dropped so much? Could it be that Storm was 'spoiled' by them?
Su You had a lot of doubts in her heart, but seeing that there seemed to be some special situation with Lyle, she could only suppress her doubts and walked over to Lyle to ask.

Suyou: "What happened?"

Lyle shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that a few dark creatures suddenly appeared and startled everyone, but they have been killed by Meike."

It's normal for dark creatures to exist at night. Su You nodded and didn't pay much attention, just reminding them to be careful.

When the fourth group of people returned, Su You asked about their attack on the crack.

"We were lucky enough to see the cracks not long after entering the storm. All of us were attacking the cracks, but as we kept attacking, the cracks disappeared." Hearing this, everyone looked surprised.

Su You asked: "Missed?"

Seeing that the person asking the question was Su You, these people didn't dare to show off and told them what happened next in a few sentences.

"Later we discovered that it was not that the cracks disappeared, but that they had changed positions."

"I think it should be like this. This crack is quite peaceful at first and won't run around, but as long as we attack it for a period of time, it will 'hide' to another place."

"After we find it, we can continue the attack."

……

Listening to each of them explaining the situation, Su You vaguely felt that something seemed to correspond, so she continued to ask.

Su You: "When you just opened the crack, how many times did it change its position?"

Because it wasn’t a difficult question and there were many people, someone quickly gave the answer: “Three times.”

Someone added some more specific content: "Yes, three times. When we first entered, the crack was on the ground, and then the crack disappeared and reached a height of one person. When we were about to leave the storm, the crack disappeared again. We thought we didn’t have enough time and were ready to leave.”

At this point, another person said with a slightly proud tone: "I reacted quickly and poked the crack before leaving."

Based on their words, Su You roughly imagined the process. Then she compared this process with the decline in the power of the storm she observed, and immediately discovered the situation.

Each time the crack disappears and reappears, the first attack will cause a lot of damage, and each subsequent attack will only cause one or two points of damage.

This can also explain why she just saw the power of the last storm suddenly drop by thirty points. That was because someone attacked the newly created crack again when they left.
