Chapter 720: Desperate Investigation (2)
Translator: 549690339
In other words, this group of ” Fallen Abyss Piranhas ” were only the vanguard cannon fodder monsters in the ” Fallen Abyss Descent “.
Although just these cannon fodder-type troops were enough to make them suffer, did the fox-faced witch really only want them to investigate this?
He recalled the battle in Fire Code City during the closed beta.
He quickly shook his head in his heart.
Probably not.
The big dog took advantage of the gap and zoomed in on the game’s minimap. It could be seen that they were only at the outermost area of the mission mark.
Now, he was 100% sure that the Fallen Abyss’s descent on the Thousand Islands was many times more terrifying than the one in the Flame Domain. The dog had thought that the players had become stronger, but he did not expect the Fallen Abyss to grow faster than them.
If that was the case, the Thousand Islands would be finished!
No, he had to do something!
They had spent a lot of effort to build a foundation in the Thousand Islands, and they were about to finish purifying Sakuragi Island. They also had the favorability and reputation of many NPCs. Once the Thousand Islands was destroyed, it would be a painful blow to local players like them.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was reasonable or emotional, he believed that every player from the Thousand Islands would defend their country of birth.
At this moment, the dog realized how crucial the three-day countdown was.
He also realized…
The true meaning of the ‘desperate scouting’ mission given to them by the fox-faced witch.
Desperate…Investigation.
It wasn’t like what his lackey had said just now, hinting that this mission was very dangerous and that there was a slim chance of survival, but…This mission was meant to send them to their deaths, but not to die, and not to die fighting monsters like this…
He wanted them to die in exchange for more information! So that they could exchange for information at the risk of their lives!
This was the true meaning of ‘death’!
It also explained why there was such an exaggerated EXP reward in this mission. It was probably because the Fox-faced Witch wanted to make up for it in this aspect.
So… What they really needed to do was to try their best to obtain more information about the enemy so that they could have a better chance of winning in the future! It was to sound the alarm for the Thousand Islands before the coming disaster!
The main storyline of the Thousand Islands, which had been laid out for so long, seemed to have finally revealed its fangs at this moment.
In the face of the hopeless situation, the dog no longer had any intention of panicking or running away. There was only excitement and excitement.
After all, after he understood the meaning of the mission, he was already going to die. What was there to be afraid of?
In fact, his next performance might become a player who could change the direction of the entire Thousand Islands storyline and save a country. What could be more exciting than this? A sense of mission filled the dog.
He would never be able to do it in reality, but he could do it in the game!
This was the charm of games.
“Brother Dog, we have to break out of the encirclement! If this continues, I’ll really have to mail it!” The underling at the helm saw that more and more players around him had chosen to give up fighting and break out of the encirclement to escape, so he wanted to follow the crowd.
However, he was immediately stopped by the big dog.
“Break out of the encirclement? Break out my ass!”
Because most of the players had the intention to retreat and were running outside, the fish were also attracted and gathered in the direction of the retreat.
As a result, the number of fish that were blocking their way decreased significantly.
How could the big mutt let go of such a good opportunity?
“Advance! Full speed ahead!
“What…Huh?”
“Boss, are you crazy? Still going forward? How would he return then? Isn’t that courting death!”
“Stop talking nonsense and charge!”
“Uh… Uh, f * ck! Let’s charge!“
The helmsman’s little brother gritted his teeth and no longer turned the ship around, but rushed all the way to the deeper place.
The big dog, which was heading in the opposite direction, was very eye-catching among the many player reconnaissance ships that were still trying to escape and save their lives. It was unique.
Some of them seemed to have been awakened by this and reacted to something.
Then, he saw a…Two ships…More and more ships began to turn around, no longer trying to run to a safe place. They began to follow the big dog’s reconnaissance ship, heading deep into the mission reconnaissance point.
“Boss, the group of piranhas seems to have retreated. They’re not chasing after us anymore!”
It was as if after crossing an invisible line, the black tide that was originally chasing them stopped abruptly and began to turn back.
However, before the little brothers on the boat could finish their surprise, they found that the big dog was staring straight at the water.
When everyone looked over, they saw a huge shadow swimming toward them from afar.
They couldn’t see its appearance clearly underwater, but the black shadow was two to three times bigger than a whale.
The big mutt and the others were the first to take the lead this time, but this time, it seemed to have avoided disaster because of this. It seemed to think that the big mutt and the others were too small a target, so the giant underwater shadow ignored them and continued to swim under their boat.
Whoosh!
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and broke out in a cold sweat. However, they quickly regained their senses and shouted in the regional chat channel, reminding the players behind to quickly spread out.
Unfortunately, it was already a little late.
Crash!
The mysterious black shadow of the giant beast poked its head out from the bottom of the sea. The big dog only saw a huge jaw that was as tall as two or three buildings. It effortlessly swallowed more than a dozen player ships as if it was biting biscuits.
