Chapter 389 Chapter 380 Seven · "The Sixth Day of Meeting a Traveler from Another World"

Su Mingan explained to the soul hunting ministers what to do tomorrow—that is, the tenth day of the dungeon, the last day of the sea feast.

The island enchantment that people are guarding is only temporary. It is constructed by humans, not blessed by gods. Sooner or later, it will be shattered by the sea monster.To completely solve this problem, the only way to re-establish the original outermost barrier that has been broken.

And this task, only Su Lin who has mastered the ability of "enchantment" can do it by himself.

But the difficulty is obvious. The city wall where the people are located is a long distance from the outermost barrier ruins that have been broken.

If he wants to repair it, he has to go through residential areas covered by sea monsters, white sandy beaches, refuge boats, and a long section of the sea... This distance is not short, and it is already crowded with sea monsters. It's impossible for him alone.

He needs an escort.

This is why he found the soul hunters.

It is impossible for the dungeon to arrange an unsolvable problem for him, on the contrary, it is quite fair.

Although because he ruled Praia, he triggered the principle of reciprocity and welcomed such a plot of Kraken siege.

But at the same time, as the ruler of Praia, it is impossible for him not to gain some benefits.

... In this land, all the people who have received Su Lin's favor, all the local residents, all the soul hunters, all the knights of the royal city, and even the hidden soul clans...

They all obey his orders.

He can freely mobilize the resources of Playa.

He had already ordered the shadow to gather the power of the whole city, collect the resource stones of Praia for hundreds of years, gather them together, and send them to him to create a more stable world that the sea monsters cannot destroy. new boundary.

Then, tomorrow—when the morning sun is rising and the sea-monster is at its weakest, the strongest soul hunters will form an elite team with him, forming a sharp sword that can penetrate the sea-monster, and pass through the opponent's monster. Sea tactics, directly reach the outermost barrier position, and repair it.

This task is extremely dangerous and requires great sacrifices, but this is the only way to completely drive the Krakens out.

Ministers named it Operation "Cross the Sea".

This should be the last and most difficult main task Su Mingan completes in this world dungeon.

In his field of vision, on the task bar on the left, there was a main line task hanging brightly.

【Main task · Defeat the Sea-Monster: Use all means to defeat the Sea-Monster King and the Sea-Monsters. 】

[Mission Reward: "Sea Feast" wins directly.Necessary props for ascending to the cloud city*1.This task affects the final evaluation after customs clearance.

During the mission, any siren hunted and killed by your local soul will provide you with experience points, regardless of whether you participate in the battle or not. 】

……

Any sea monster killed by the soul hunters will provide him with experience points.

This means that in tomorrow's "cross-sea" operation, every dead sea monster will be regarded as a monster he directly killed. This is a dangerous and rewarding upgrade journey.

After the third level, his upgrade speed is getting slower and slower, and he has almost no experience in killing garbage mobs, but killing sea monsters is a way to add up.

Su Mingan raised his head.

Today is December 2023, 12, the ninth day of dungeon opening, in the evening.

There are still three days left before the dungeon time ends.

It was almost dusk at this point, and the final night dungeon was about to start.

The place Su Mingan chose to rest tonight is still the house in the East District that Ellas had given him. It is not far from the pier in the South District, and he is used to living there.

The clothes-drying pole in front of Lingju's house had already collapsed, and when Su Mingan passed by the window, he wiped away the cold air on the window with his hands.

The sewing machine inside had fallen to dust, and there was no one on the bed.

The sounds of dropping needles, women's coughing, and the sound of fetching and carrying water have disappeared completely, and the surroundings are completely silent, only the discarded cloth bags and wooden boards are left.

He stood quietly outside the window for a while, then returned to his own house next door.

He glanced at the wooden sculpture of a despicable person on the window, and put it in his arms.After turning off the live broadcast and washing the blood on his body with water, he changed his clothes.

As he opened the window, he saw the Knight of Light in golden armor, walking towards his house.

Sheld's eyes were black and blue, and he looked very tired.

"Sorry." Su Mingan watched him come in: "I couldn't find your sister."

In his quest bar, there was also a red-level quest called "Immortality", the request was to deliver the birthday present that Sherrud gave to her younger sister to her.

But obviously, the difficulty of the red-level mission is not that small. Su Mingan really failed to find Sherwood's sister on that refuge ship.

"..." Sheld was silent for a while.

He took off the red cloak that was covered with snow behind him, and shook it at the door.

The cold wind blew through his short golden hair, and his eyes were a little lonely.

"It's ok."

But after a while, that familiar smile gradually stained his cheeks.

"This kind of thing is very sudden...as long as the captain is not dead, we still have hope. Changying...in fact, she should have been prepared. After all, in Praia, this kind of suddenness will take people away. Sudden events of life, so normal..."

Sheld's words were somewhat pessimistic.

But Su Mingan knew that Xie Lude's sister should not be dead.

Because his mission hasn't failed yet.

Since the "immortality" mission is still there, it means that Sherwood's sister is still alive, and there is still a chance for this necklace to be handed over to her. If his sister died, this mission should have disappeared long ago.

There was silence in the room for a while.

Su Mingan didn't know what Sherwood came to him for.

After all, due to Sheld's allegiance to Princess Tulip, their previous relationship was quite tense.

But Xie Lude saved Lin Yin who was the occupant once, and Su Mingan didn't intend to drive him out directly.

Moreover, the object of the knight's oath of allegiance has become the most hated sea monster... This change should also be very difficult for Sheld.

Su Mingan wanted to brush up the favorability of Xie Lude, the "brave man".Tomorrow's most critical day, the brave should also be very useful...

Just when Su Mingan was thinking about where to start the topic, he saw Sherlock take out a notebook by himself.

The notebook was a newly turned page, and there was a neat line of small characters on the top, as if it had been prepared long ago:
[The sixth day when I met a traveler from another world. 】

……

South District Wharf, City Wall.

On the city wall, Noel, who once served as a commander, is carefully observing the barrier, trying to find a way to make it more stable.

For him, it doesn't matter whether the barrier exists or not. If the barrier is broken, it will be more convenient for him to drive other players away.With the current highest points, he can directly win the feast of the sea.He just needs to hide in the enchantment of the royal city and escape the remaining three days. He doesn't care what will happen to Praia in the future, anyway, he can leave when the time comes.

But there was nothing to do at the moment, so he began to study the structure of the enchantment.

Thin, wire-like lines protruded from his fingertips, touched the surface of the upper barrier, and connected like charging.

While he was busy, a slender figure walked by.

She was wearing a thin sword, and her long hair fluttered in the wind and snow. The ice and snow slowly stopped around her, as if dancing around her.

On her armor was carved a yellow rose.

She is Luna, the leader of the famous western guild, the Sword of the Yellow Rose Guild, and a highly charismatic player.

The same is true for the four people following her, all wearing yellow rose armor that is obviously custom-made equipment.

"Noel?" Luna glanced at Noel who was studying the enchantment: "Your teammate is dead, but you are still very leisurely."

"He's not dead." Nuo Er didn't raise his head: "He just came back, many people saw it, you happened to miss it."

"He didn't die in such a big scene yesterday?" Luna passed him: "It seems that he is indeed very capable. However, for those of us, we only hope that this enchantment can last longer. There are only three days left until the end, I hope it can last for three days..."

She looked at the enchantment in front of her.

The densely packed sea monsters slammed and bit like wild beasts, and they were only separated from her by a wall.

She could even see the fluctuating blood in their eyes, seeing them with different shapes, biting and scratching the barrier like unconscious beasts.

She put her hand on the barrier, and through a thin, cool barrier, she could clearly see the distinct eyelashes on the faces of these sea monsters.

"I can't hold on."

Just then, she heard Noel say something.

"...Really." She said softly.

Noel withdrew his hand from checking the barrier, and the wire-like lines retracted from his fingertips: "I've seen it, this barrier can last at most one more day, let alone the Sea Demon King is not dead, if she Come back, this enchantment is basically broken in seconds."

Luna's expression gradually became serious.

"...If you persist for less than three days, you will be in big trouble." Luna said: "At present, no player's strength can reach the level of resisting the natural disaster of the tsunami, and no player is sure to fight against the overwhelming sea monsters." Survive in the midst of... If this barrier breaks again, if we don't hide in the barrier of the king's city, the players in our copy may... be completely wiped out."

Her tone was very serious, and her expression was very dignified.

Behind her, the four teammates looked at each other with deep worry in their eyes.

Noel knew what she was worried about.

Everyone knows that this dungeon has gathered quite a few big players.

Various famous player IDs appear frequently in the channel chat.Not to mention the top players Lu Shu, Yamada Machiichi, the top players Lin Yin, Higurashi Noboru, Eli, Bonnie... plus Luna herself, and her elite Yellow Rose team.

These people not only represent a group of powerful elite players.

...they have something more important in them.

Combat power values, and points.

This is what is counted into the overall human progress bar.

Once they die, everything accumulated on their bodies will be emptied, and everyone will start all over again.

That is to say, if the barrier on this side is really broken, if the barrier of the king city can't stop the Sea Demon King, if the ending of this dungeon is really wiped out...for the players...even for the points of all human beings , will be an overturning disaster.

Not to mention that both the first player and the second player are among them...

If they die in this dungeon, it will be a subversive reshuffle for the overall situation of the world game.

"Let me tell you, Noel." Luna's tone softened a lot on purpose. She put her hand on the city wall, leaned against Noel's right side, and asked him with her head tilted: "The first player, what is he thinking? To be precise, can we survive in the end?"

The wind and snow blew through her long hair.

She tilted her head and stared at Nuo Er with a pair of pale eyes. After deliberately lowering her posture, this woman known as the "Northern Female General" exudes a particularly attractive heroic spirit.

Although it is rumored that she once killed a brown bear with her bare hands.

"I also find it strange that you would ask me this question."

Noel, on the other hand, didn't seem to like this at all, and his tone remained calm.

In the face of players other than "companions", he is not as enthusiastic as before.

"...When will the player's own life and death in the dungeon be decided by other players?" He sneered.

Luna was slightly taken aback.

Noel turned his head and looked at her:
"Your reliance on Su Mingan is too heavy.

"I thought it was strange before, since this is obviously a competitive dungeon, 1 people are required to compete for a perfect clearance result, and we still have faction contribution rankings between us, shouldn't the players be in a competitive relationship?

"It stands to reason that we should seek any way to clear the customs and take any plot line, which should be a reasonable behavior in the dungeon. We are not comrades who can give each other back and live and die together.

"But in the previous things, I found something very strange.

"Why...someone can rightly accuse Su Mingan that their customs clearance route has caused them trouble, why, someone wants to force Su Mingan to take care of their customs clearance? It seems that Su Mingan must consider that they are weak and that they cannot be killed The Kraken's mentality is average.

"Luna, don't you think this is sick? Players, when did you become a giant baby who needs to be avoided by the first player and needs to be taken care of by the top players? They don't feel ashamed of their own weakness, don't rush to find opportunities to hide Go to a safe place, but blame the first player for bringing them danger, accuse the first player of not taking such a risky customs clearance route, they are so confident, and countless people follow suit... Do you think this is normal?"
