In the bright and sunny sky, the sun had slanted greatly to the West.
On the limitless gray sea, a gray warship started to slow down.
“We’ve finally arrived!” On the deck of the warship, Big Pineapple was all suited up, and spoke as he put down his military binoculars. “We’ve traveled on the sea for more than a day, and other than the two Quasi-Bosses we encountered yesterday, we haven’t met any threatening monster after that; this is pretty boring. That’s the destination, the land area doesn’t look very small.”
The others were not bothered by Big Pineapple’s reckless words. Yesterday, because of the school of Knifefish and two Quasi-Bosses, the members of the team had been reduced by quite a lot.
If they were to unfortunately have another encounter, they would have no ability to compete with the North City people.
Phoenix raised her binoculars to observe the area covered in dense fog exposed from the water surface a distance away.
Around two to three kilometers from the warship, what was within sight, was not the typical situation on an island in the sea but a huge area of gray fog.
“Everyone please take note, ahead are the ruins for this reclamation, Devil Tri-Horn Fog Island. This region has serious disruption zones, many electronic devices will be affected upon entering these regions. In the daytime, there’ll be huge amounts of fog, the brighter the sun the denser the fog, and it’ll only disperse once the sun sets; which means we can only dock the island in the evening, and that our main operations must be engaged in the night.” From the guidance channel came the voice of Frontline Command. “A night environment for long-range professions is really not too friendly.”
Wearing an Energy robe with a design that was old-fashioned to the max but was a piece of Legendary equipment unable to catch anyone’s eyes, Zhao Yun stretched lazily.
They had known long before from the information given by the Nine-Star Guild that this ruin had a unique environment.
Through the scope, looking at the dense fog where the visibility was less than two meters, Feng Luo still felt like this reclamation was perhaps more challenging than imagined.
If it were other fog-like types like smoke bombs, Wind Manipulators could blow it away, but if it were such a huge fog which covered several kilometers, dream on then, just wait it out.
Half an hour later, the sun finally slowly descended to the other side of the foggy region.
It could be seen with the naked eye that the density of the fog on their side had started to reduce quickly.
“Everyone, let’s start preparing. Wait until the fog has dispersed to a certain degree and we’ll start docking on the island. I need to remind you that the water surrounding this island has huge amounts of reef rock inside, so the warship can only go close to around one kilometer, then we’ll reach the island by small boats. Also, in the surrounding water, after the sun completely sets and before it rises, there would be some monsters capable of overturning assault boats appearing, so even though there’s no dense fog at night, there’s seemingly no way of leaving the island. Everyone, please take note of this!” In the command channel, Frontline Command reminded them once again.
This was a restriction set by the system in order to make players unable to leave the island easily.
In addition to the setting that players would lose the prizes they had obtained on the island upon death, it had made the players of the two main cities even more unable to choose to cooperate.
“Sou, sou, sou…”
At the edge of the warship, many players started taking out their transport tools.
Knowing the environment of this mission, most of the people changed their vehicles from cars to boats.
Assault boats, hovercrafts, motorboats… all shapes and sizes of transport tools filled the surrounding water surface in an instant.
Initially it was just a lone warship, but it quickly became a little like an aircraft carrier formation.
“Mister Feng, let’s go together.” Glazed Ice from Red Queen’s team retrieved a transparent glass assault boat sufficient for 10 people.
“Hey, y’all go ahead, I’ll take my own.” Big Pineapple smiled smugly and retrieved a well-textured grayish-black streamlined motorboat.
It was a Swordfish-Type S, priced at more than 1,500,000 credits. It was one of the fastest in War and could be said to be a “land bullet” in water, was highly flashy, but with the only flaw of being able to accommodate two people.
“It’s a little squeezy over there with 10 people, come sit in mine.” Zhao Yun took out his own transport tool which was a pure metallic heavyweight assault boat with thick and heavy armor and a naval ram structured hull.
It was a Black Shark-7000 – its defense power was able to absorb even the explosions of mini-sized torpedoes as long as it was not directly hit, and its power performance was even better.
Its price was great too – over 8,000,000 credits, and required Energy Crystals of C-Grade and above to be driven, definitely the most expensive assault boat.
Big Pineapple, who was initially a little smug, was instantly speechless.
…
Two speedboats and a motorboat carrying over 10 players started traveling towards the island.
Half of the fog within view had dispersed, a yellow beach stretched along the shore was visible.
With a distance of almost a kilometer, of course much time had been spent.
When Feng Luo and the others had travelled halfway in the first batch of boats that moved off, the boats of all the Nine-Star Guild players in charge of recce, was only 100 meters from the island.
Just then, the frontmost boat suddenly halted. The Energy Converter of the Fire Manipulator in the leading team started lighting up.
“Eh, they’re really careful, prepared to clear out the docking point first?” Big Pineapple said.
The previous time, when they were on Silverleaf Island, they had almost fallen into the trap of the poisonous scorpion hidden under the sand.
This time, the Nine-Star Guild team had a huge number of Scouts, able to discover any hidden crisis in advance.
Even if they did not discover any crisis, they could choose to use a skill to recce first.
“Boom, boom…”
A huge amount of Fire Energy took the skies at the beach and at the forest behind the beach, smoke-erupting Energy Fireballs and dancing starry fire rain falling from the sky.
The Fire Manipulator Level 40 ultimate move – Meteor Rain.
Moreover, it was a skill unleashed by a huge number of Fire Manipulators, the complete-powered “Meteor Rain” which greatly increased the density of the Fire Energy within a certain region, enough to offset all the skill reducing sea environmental factors.
“Splat, splat, splat…”
The fireballs dotting the sky fell, the beach above the sky, where the fog had not completely dispersed, becoming fiery red.
“-2001, -2123, -2434…”
After the smoky fireballs landed and the wide beach exploded, the beach that was initially empty instantly saw huge numbers of damage coefficients emerging. At the same time, the silhouettes of large numbers of creatures of about more than a meter long appeared one by one.
“Hypertoxic Chameleon, Level 60 monster, average health 12000, has great camouflaging and environmental color imitation abilities!” On the glass boat which had entered the range for effective Detection and was travelling in the same line as Red Queen and her people on the Black Shark heavy boat, a slim female Scout player quickly reported the monster’s information.
