Chapter 157. 158. The Attacking Deep Diver

This is a wide circular square with an area of ​​thousands of square meters. It is located inside a hollowed out mountain. Outside the mountain is the Kuroshio surging sea.

At this moment, a great battle is going on in the square, and both sides of the battle are strange creatures with strange shapes.

On one side are half-human, half-dog ghouls, densely packed.

On the other side is a strange creature with a fish head and a frog body, each of which is about the size of a normal human being, with bluish-black skin that looks full of slippery feeling. Its webbed forelimbs are holding crude and primitive spear weapons. Makes a strange cry of 'suction, sucking'.

Although the ghouls are more dominant in number, the latter's individual combat power is stronger, and they can basically fight two against one, so the balance of the battle is maintained. From time to time, a fish head monster was overthrown to the ground by several ghouls, and it was torn into Bucky the Clown.

Troops of ghouls appeared one after another from the caves on the rock wall and joined the battlefield, and more monsters with fish heads and frog bodies also landed on the coast outside the mountain. A charge was launched inside the mountain.

"It's unbelievable, there are such monsters in this world?!"

Joey opened his mouth slightly, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and he had the horrified expression on his face when he was repeatedly crushed by an excavator after his world view was broken.

"Why are they fighting?"

The three members of the expedition team are hiding behind a rock, carefully sticking out their heads to observe the scorching battle in the square.

Bai Ye first threw a 'recognition' at the nearest monster with a fish head and a frog body.

After the identification was successful, he obtained some information about this new monster called 'Deep Diver':
Name: Deep Diver.

Health: 50%.Physical value: 30%.

Stance: Focus LV3, Cautious LV2, Active LV7.

Ability: Salted Fish Thrust, use the spear in your hand to launch a stab that has no sense of presence and is easy to be dodged and blocked.

Weaknesses: Not resistant to high temperature, easy to dehydrate, head, neck...

'...Isn't it better not to use this skill than to use it? '

"It seems that those dog-headed monsters want to defend this place, while the fish-headed monsters are attacking... If their purpose is not to occupy the territory, then it should be related to that thing!"

Bai Ye said something, and stretched out his hand to point in one direction.

Joey and Rick looked in that direction when they heard the words, and found that on the other side of the hollowed out mountain was a towering rock wall. The rock wall was about [-] meters above the ground, and there was a flat stone platform. There is a black sarcophagus.

"It's a sarcophagus!"

Rick Jones immediately exclaimed excitedly: "It's the same as the one in the tomb of the skinned dwarf!"

The resemblance is definitely not a coincidence. The purpose of the expedition team's trip is probably stored in the sarcophagus - the second weird sculpture.

……

——You have completed the main mission [The Secret of Pickman’s Mansion], and you will get rewards: 20 points, 1000 reward points.

——You have triggered the new main task [Second Bottle Sculpture]

After discovering the sarcophagus, a prompt to complete the second main task popped up in front of Bai Ye's eyes.

'Is this increase in points determined to send me to the top of the leaderboard? '

With that in mind, he chose to open the task interface.

【Second Bottle Sculpture】

[Mission description: After suffering, you finally discovered the goal of this trip.Persevere, as long as you can complete this expedition, all the sacrifices and efforts during the period will not be in vain. 】

【Mission Objective: Obtain the second bottle of sculpture. 】

'There is no suspense about the content of the mission. '

Bai Ye took another look at the rock wall in the distance. The rock wall had an inclination of about 30 degrees, and there were jagged rocks on it. There was no normal path for people to walk on. The only way to go up was to climb.

There is also a deep cave behind the sarcophagus, and there are many white bones piled up beside the cave.

'It doesn't look like a safe place...maybe there will be greater danger waiting for me after I go up there. '

"What shall we do next?"

Joey turned to look at Rick Jones, who was rubbing his chin with his hand, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Try to get the sculpture in that sarcophagus."

Rick Jones sighed lightly, and then said with a serious expression: "We can't let Seba and the others die worthless."

"Then you have to plan well."

Bai Ye tapped the rock in front of him with his knuckles, poked his head out from behind the rock to observe the surrounding situation.

The hiding place of the expedition team was on the far left side of the circular square, about 50 meters away from the rock wall at the top of the circular square.

"There are probably two ways to go to the rock wall. One is to cross directly from the square, so the distance is short and the speed is fast, but you will encounter monsters fighting along the way. The other is to climb along the rock wall and go around from the side. If you pass by, you don’t have to worry about meeting those monsters face to face.”

"But... from our place to the other side of the rock wall, the route is arc-shaped, and the distance will be much longer than walking straight through the square."

Rick scratched his head, frowning and said: "Climbing through such a long distance, the difficulty is not small."

"So I suggest going the first route, but there needs to be a division of labor."

Bai Ye glanced at the two partners, and continued: "Rick and I will deal with the monsters encountered along the way and prevent them from approaching. Joey, you will be responsible for climbing the rock wall and obtaining the sculpture in the sarcophagus."

"Is that okay?"

Rick Jones hesitated a little.

"This is the best plan. If you or I are the ones who climb the rock wall, then those who stay in the square will have a hard time dealing with those monsters..."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he glanced at Joey next to him.

Joey was very smart, and immediately understood the hidden meaning in his words. Her combat ability was indeed about zero, and staying in the square would not provide any protection, but would become a burden instead.

"I understand, Captain, please let me go! I will definitely bring the sculpture back intact."

She clenched her fists and looked at Rick Jones with high spirited eyes.

"Ok."

Rick Jones also understood that what Bai Ye said was the best solution now, he nodded to Joey and reminded: "Don't force it, give up the mission immediately if there is danger, saving your life is more important!"

……

However, this plan to steal the sculpture was ultimately unsuccessful.

Because just when Bai Ye, Joey and Rick were about to leave for the sarcophagus wall...

Ow—

The cry that was heard in the tunnel and the sewer, like the cry of a giant beast, appeared again.

Suddenly, a sense of swelling suddenly appeared in the ears of the three of them, and the eardrums seemed to explode at this moment.

They quickly covered their ears with their hands, but this was only a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

There is an irresistible sense of deterrence in that voice, which hits people's hearts directly, causing people to have a kind of oppressive force similar to that of ants looking up at elephants, and a sense of insignificance based on the level of life spontaneously. pregnancy.

Under this threat, Bai Ye could only feel his body trembling uncontrollably, cold sweat seeped out from his back, and his hands and feet also felt heavy and stagnant...

"This call should be some kind of range-limiting ability. It will be less affected if you are far away, and it will be temporarily fixed in place if you are close."

Bai Ye looked at the ghouls in the square. They were also affected by the screams, trembling, and temporarily lost their mobility. However, the deep divers on the other side were completely undisturbed. They took the opportunity to wave their spears , Stabbed to death one by one the ghouls who were immobilized in front of them.

"The sound comes from the sea outside the mountain!"

He turned his head to look beyond the mountain. At this time, the night outside was thick, and the sea surface was filled with thick black mist. A large number of deep divers landed on the shore amidst the howling, and launched an attack on the ghouls with spears in their hands. charge.

In the turbulent black sea water, a few tentacles as thick as stone pillars broke through the waves, waving and twitching above the sea surface, and the suction cups on the tentacles opened and closed like big mouths.

boom boom-

After the howling sound appeared, the tremor like an earthquake followed closely.

The surrounding mountains shook for a while, and the falling rolling stones knocked over the ghouls and deep divers in the square indiscriminately, and more and bigger cracks appeared on the ground of the square.

But the strange thing is that this shock was not caused by the tentacle monster hidden under the sea water, but came from the deeper depths of the hollowed out mountain.

"The guy who made the earthquake should be hiding in the cave behind the stone platform?"

Bai Ye followed the movement and looked towards the direction of the stone platform. Due to the vibration of the mountain, large areas of cracks appeared on the rock wall behind the stone platform. It seemed that something was trying to squeeze out of the mountain.

"It seems that a big battle is about to be staged!"
