In stark contrast to the laughter and joy in the Fuso camp,
the chat channel of the Divine Xia camp was filled with a heavy atmosphere of anxiety.
"Holy crap, how is Nakamura Kenta, their number one on the rankings, almost level 4 already!"
"Not only that, their top five have all reached level 3, and their top twenty are all level 2. This leveling speed is too fast!"
"Damn, they won a survival gamble before and each received an extra 20 free attribute points. Their average level is directly half a level higher than ours. How can we even play?"
"Even more outrageous is that Nakamura Kenta actually has a B-rank Onmyoji talent! The highest in our zone is only C-rank. How is this fair!"
"He must have had many fortuitous encounters before, accumulated a large number of evolution points, and directly upgraded his talent to B-rank!"
"TMD, I just found out, they actually have six intermediate newbie wooden boats!"
"What about us? How many intermediate newbie wooden boats do we have?"
"Uh, Lu Chen has one, Yang Zimo has one, and I think that's it..."
"This... how can we fight like this?"
"The gap is too big, are we going to lose?"
"Don't say that, I'm only level 1. If I lose 20 attribute points, I'll be completely useless..."
"Now we can only hope that Lu Chen and Yang Zimo can lead us to turn the tide!"
"Right, we still have Lu Chen! He has always been a formidable character, he must have a way!"
Mentioning Lu Chen, a glimmer of hope arose in everyone's hearts.
"Where did Lu Chen go? Why did he suddenly disappear from the rankings?"
Just then, Yang Zimo's avatar flickered:
"@Li Xinyi, Li Xinyi, did Lu Chen go looking for you before? Where is he now? We need him."
"Yang Zimo has appeared!"
"Yang Dalao, the enemy is at our doorstep, quickly decide with Lu Chen what we should do!"
"Right, Lu Chen said before that he was going to check out the ghost ship that Li Xinyi Dalao mentioned. How is Lu Chen doing now? Did he take care of that ghost ship?"
"@Li Xinyi, Dalao, come out and say something!"
"@Li Xinyi, Dalao, give us a response..."
Instantly, the chat channel was flooded with messages mentioning @Li Xinyi.
After a long while, Li Xinyi's reply slowly appeared in the chat channel, carrying a hint of unspeakable heaviness,
"Everyone, Lu Chen... Lu Chen is really amazing, the information I provided before was wrong. The monster on the ghost ship is not Tier 3, but Tier 4..."
"But Lu Chen still killed the Tier 4 Undead. Lu Chen is truly the strongest person I have ever seen..."
Seeing Li Xinyi's words, everyone's hearts, which had been raised, finally relaxed.
"Dalao, can you please speak without such long pauses? You almost scared me to death! I thought Lu Chen had fallen."
"Lu Chen is awesome, he can even kill a Tier 4 Undead!"
"As expected of a Dalao, with him here, those beasts living comfortable Xiao Riben lives are dead meat!"
Everyone echoed in agreement, and morale seemed to recover somewhat.
However, Yang Zimo keenly caught the abnormality in Li Xinyi's words,
He immediately frowned, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
Yang Zimo: "@Li Xinyi, what happened after Lu Chen killed the Tier 4 Undead? Is he still safe now?"
Seeing Yang Zimo's message,
Li Xinyi's eyes turned red, and a huge sense of guilt washed over her,
Li Xinyi: "Lu... Lu Chen was swallowed by the ghost ship after killing the Ghost Captain..."
Li Xinyi: "It was my incorrect estimation of the ghost ship's strength that led to Lu Chen's demise. I have an undeniable responsibility. In the battle against the Fusang People later, I will charge in first."
Seeing Li Xinyi's message,
there was a moment of silence throughout the entire chat channel.
Everyone's hope instantly shattered, and pessimistic emotions began to spread.
"It's over, it's completely over. Our average level was already a step behind the Fusang People, and now Lu Chen has also fallen. We have completely lost hope..."
"Wuwuwu, I'm only 18, I haven't had a boyfriend yet, I don't want to die..."
Seeing this, Yang Zimo couldn't help but sigh. His worst fear had come true.
He absolutely could not let this kind of emotion spread now.
Yang Zimo: "Everyone, don't be discouraged. What are we Divine Xia afraid of? Since we can have one Lu Chen, we can have a second, and a third!"
Yang Zimo: "The battle hasn't even started yet, the outcome is still unknown. How can we Divine Xia easily bow our heads to the Japanese pirates!"
Long Haoran: "My grandfather, father, and I have all been Divine Xia soldiers. My grandfather never bowed his head to the Japanese pirates even in the most desperate times! Today, I will never retreat either!"
"Right!"
Li Ming sent a clenched fist emoji, "What's so scary about those short Fusang people? My lightning won't show any mercy!"
Zhou Yu: "That's right, let's all unite and fight these Japanese pirates!"
"Damn, you're right, what the hell is there to be afraid of? I don't believe those Xiao Riben people have more heads than us."
"Right, they just luckily won a survival gamble and gained a first-mover advantage. This time, we'll make them spit out all those attribute points!"
"Unite, everyone must unite!"
"Yang Dalao, give the orders. We will all follow your command!"
A chorus of firm responses rang out in the chat channel, and morale gradually rose under Yang Zimo's leadership.
Yang Zimo: "Alright, everyone, warp to the vicinity of the United Sea Area now. There are only 10 hours left until the United Sea Area opens."
"We must seize every second, strive to strengthen our power, and upgrade our ships! Regardless of who it is, if you have any valuable information or resources, please share them immediately!"
"Okay!"
"I'm going back now!"
"Yang Dalao, I just found some herbs that can increase agility on a small island!"
"I found a wounded Tier 2 sea beast at coordinates 376, 976. I was planning to hunt it after I leveled up to 2, but I'm not keeping it now. Yang Dalao, quickly organize people to come and collect it!"
"The bow and arrows I have are Black Iron grade. I'm only level 1, so I won't be much help in the melee. Take this longbow!"
"I have some healing herbs prepared here, they can be used in emergencies!"
"I know which area has rich timber resources!"
"I have enough fresh water stored here, feel free to use it!"
Just as Haruko said, when facing external threats,
the Divine Xia displayed astonishing cohesion, uniting as one to overcome the difficulties!
Yang Zimo quickly organized and formed 4 hunting fleets, each consisting of two hundred people.
Based on the clues provided by everyone, the hunting fleets struck accurately, concentrating their strength to hunt Tier 2 sea beasts.
The final fatal blow was left to the strong individuals with outstanding talents and high rankings.
At this moment, everyone in Newbie Zone 1000 seemed to converge into an unstoppable, mighty force,
Like a tightly clenched giant fist, ready to meet the coming challenge!
