[Mission Target: Place the ‘unknown device’ in the four marked locations]
[Mission Reward: 500,000 experience points for each successful installation]
[Current Mission Progress: 0/4]
On the players ‘map of the Abyssal Sea, four light spots immediately flashed, corresponding to the four corners of the Water God Palace.
“This…”
A portion of the players who did not know the inside story stood where they were and looked at each other. In fact, they had a vague feeling from the beginning. Could they be…Did he join the villain camp?
And now, this naked mission prompt was just short of the words “doing bad things” written on the surface.
Although the players did not know what these ” unknown equipment ” were for, there was no doubt that it was not as simple as what ” Sakai Yousuke ” said.
Do it Or not?
This was the hesitation that some of the unspecialized players were facing.
However, the players of Ka and Sacred Fire didn’t have this problem.
This was because the total amount of the mission reward was fixed. Then, it would be distributed according to the number of people and contribution points of each box during the escort process. It was a bit like a prize pool mission. In other words, the fewer people escorting, the more people on their side, the more rewards they would naturally receive.
Hence, the Guild Master of Ka, Hei Yu, immediately gave the order to snatch two slots for the box devices. They were all his own people. When the Sacred Flame Guild saw this, they quickly snatched one box device and did not allow outsiders to interfere.
In the end, the remaining 30% of the solo players did not hesitate and immediately began to transport the boxes. They did not care about the impact on the plot, but they were afraid that the last device would be taken by the two guilds and they would not get any rewards.
Throughout the entire process, the ” Apostle ” who had been watching from the side did not make a sound because he had already expected this outcome.
Just like his understanding of foreigners, this group of outsiders…As long as he grasped this point, it would be easy to control this power.
Very soon, the first to set off, the Ka guild, under Hei Yu’s lead, could be said to be unimpeded all the way. They arrived at the place marked on the map, the place closest to their starting point.
They followed the instructions and installed and activated the device. The black box emitted a dim light, and an invisible sound wave that was not difficult for the players to see began to seep into the Water God Palace.
Although the players could not hear the strange sound waves, the more obvious movement allowed them to experience the function of the black box.
Hiss…
Ssss…
This was the sound of a snake flicking its tongue.
No matter where the players were scattered in the Abyss Sea to escort the box, they could hear the sound coming from the Water God Palace.
Even though the players could not understand the snake language, it was not difficult to hear the emotions conveyed by the voice.
Irascibility, anger, and… Struggling pain.
It was as if the sound waves emitted from the black box were giving the snake in the depths of the palace a splitting headache and making it feel extremely uncomfortable.
This was indeed the case.
The black boxes that could emit strange sound waves were the Fallen Abyss Catabolizer invented by the ‘professor’.
From its straightforward name, it could be heard that it could catalyze creatures that had been parasitized and corrupted by the Fallen Abyss but had not yet completely fallen, speeding up the process of degeneration.
Originally, there was no need to go through so much trouble. A single catalyst was enough, but who knew that the snake would hide in the Water God Palace and use it to weaken and isolate the power of the catalyst.
This forced the ” Apostle ” to use four times the power to pollute the snake at the four corners, causing the snake to go completely crazy and lose control. It became a creature of the abyss and came out of the Abyssal Sea to attack the Thousand Islands.
This was the entire plan of the ” Blacktide “.
After the first device was activated, the snake in the Water God Palace only growled. However, after the Sacred Flame Guild successfully set up and activated the second device…
From the sound of the tongue coming from the depths of the palace, it could be clearly heard that it was much more hurried. When it was just activated, the ground trembled as if the snake was using its head to hit the walls of the palace.
All the signs indicated that even if he hid in the Water God Palace, it would be useless under the increasing number of catalyst devices.
The remaining two were the locations of the installation, located at the two corners furthest away.
He had thought that it would be a matter of time before everything would be smooth sailing.
But…
The snake’s main body could not come out to fight back, because once it left the Water God Palace’s natural barrier, it would instantly fall. However, as if it wanted to resist, many black shadows surged out from the Water God Palace.
The targets of these shadows were very clear. Some of them went to stop the players who were transporting the remaining two devices, while the others went to attack the two devices that Ka and Sacred Flame had already set up. They wanted to destroy them.
When these shadows got closer, the players saw that they were warriors with human bodies and snake heads. They were wearing simple armor and holding bone spikes.
[Child Guard]
Black Feather heaved a sigh of relief when he cast ” Detection ” on them. These monsters looked scary, but they were only Level 10. Wasn’t this just sending them to their deaths?
It seemed that the officials had some conscience. They knew that the players from the Lunar Abyss Island were missing a ” monster siege ” storyline, so they made it up to them now.
