Part-time BOSS

After this brief interlude, the fleet began to continue heading north. Two new warships were added. Murphy had to assign some sailors to the ship. The number of people was too small to count on combat effectiveness, but it did increase the carrying capacity. Quite a bit, not as crowded as it was originally.

The next voyage was smooth sailing. Under the escort of the Storm Dragon Knight, no blind monster dared to provoke the fleet. On the third day, the fleet entered the icy waters of Northrend. .

Before even seeing the shadow of the Northrend continent, the weather gave the expedition fleet a disastrous start.

The air suddenly became cold, the biting sea breeze was mixed with snowflakes, the sky gradually became gloomy, and the dark and gloomy water was mixed with ice cubes. From time to time, the waves hit the side of the ship, making a deafening crashing sound.

The biting cold wind blew against the passengers on the fleet, bringing bursts of chills, stiffness to the hands and feet, and some ice injuries.

Alterac people like Murphy and Razdanan are okay, because Alterac people live in a world of ice and snow, and have 30 points of cold resistance. There is still no problem in this extremely cold weather.

Others don't have it so easy.

Especially the Storm Dragon Knights. The Dragon Knights are trained by various types of knights, including North Wind Knights, Lordaeron noble knights, feudal knights, knights errant, etc...

Except for the North Wind Knight's own cold resistance, the other dragon knights feel the same way.

Murphy glanced at the extra DEBUFF above his head.

[Bitter Cold Wind: You will receive 20 points of cold damage every 60 seconds, and gain a layer of cold effect, reducing the movement speed and attack speed by 1%. This effect can be stacked up to 100 layers. After stacking to 100%, the unit Will be frozen into an ice sculpture.

Note: The biting cold wind in Northrend can bring terrifying chills. Travelers who are unprepared will often gradually die in the cold. Only warm flames can dispel the ice and snow and give you hope of life. 】

This thing is an environmental hazard and is almost unavoidable.

Of course, there seems to be a lot to deal with. The simplest way is to build up ice resistance. As long as the ice resistance is above 20 points, you will be immune to damage.

The elementalists on the ship had to apply the 'resistance to cold' BUFF to others one by one.

Fortunately, this DEBUFF takes effect very slowly, and it takes at least half an hour to accumulate until it affects actions.

And as long as you are close to the flame, this DEBUFF will be cleared quickly, so overall it is quite acceptable.

Morgan Lisa (Grand Arcanist): "Oh, are we almost there? It's really cold here."

It was convenient for the mage. Morgan Lisa directly put a 'lava shield' on herself, and her whole body was enveloped in a layer of hot fire. It was like a walking furnace. The three female teammates followed closely behind to keep warm.

Aidan (Leader of the Dragon Knights): "It's indeed very cold, but don't worry, I'm already prepared for this adventure. There are adventurers who can use buffs. If it doesn't work, you can light a torch. It's no problem."

"Captain, it's an iceberg!" A shout suddenly came from the observation deck.

Sure enough, on the distant sea, there was a huge iceberg slowly approaching the fleet.

Captain Shander immediately changed direction and prepared to avoid the iceberg. However, the iceberg seemed to be in trouble with the fleet and slowly approached.

When they were only a few hundred meters away, Murphy suddenly noticed a long durable bar on the top of the iceberg.

Dangerous iceberg (ice element aggregate) durability 195000.

I wiped it, and there was still a blood bar?

Don't be afraid if you have a health bar.

Aidan (Leader of the Dragon Knights): "Avoid the front! Sides - prepare to fire! Heavy artillery salvo!"

The gun windows were opened one after another, and a salvo of heavy artillery was fired at the iceberg.

Rumble, rumble! A row of shells all hit the iceberg, and the huge recoil caused the Storm Dragon King to tilt sharply.

-

1001! -1013! -996! -999! …

One salvo destroyed more than 30,000 people's health, and it was almost impossible to miss such a large iceberg.

After a few volleys, cracks appeared in the iceberg, followed by another volley.

boom! The huge iceberg instantly cracked and collapsed, revealing the body inside.

But it is a 'frost element', just an elite monster.

Another round of volley fired, and the frost elemental was killed on the spot. Unfortunately, no equipment could be exploded.

Mo Fei couldn't help but be a little disappointed. What made him even more speechless was that soon another iceberg appeared in the distance.

"Are you still going to attack?"

"No fight, just go around."

Murphy finally figured it out. These activated icebergs should be formed by the frost element absorbing seawater and gradually condensing. They should be special life forms in the Northrend Sea. They are not BOSS at all, so don't waste cannonballs.

Fortunately, the iceberg moved very slowly and was quickly thrown away.

This thing is really a bit weird. Mo Fei didn't dare to be careless and sent out the dragon-riding sky patrol again. If the iceberg is discovered next, he can avoid it in advance.

Fortunately, this kind of 'dangerous iceberg' is not common, and with the air warning, the fleet did not encounter danger again.

It is convenient to have the air force for reconnaissance.

At night, something unusual happened again.

A reconnaissance dragon patrol flew back to the ship hastily.

Dragon Patroller: "Your Highness, a ship was found five nautical miles away."

Mo Feixin said it was just a ship, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

Dragon Sky Patroller: "That seems to be a ghost ship!"

Murphy was surprised, ghost ship? He had never seen this thing before, but he had heard the legend of the ghost ship. It was said to be a ghost ship created by Hela, the goddess of death, to collect the souls lost at sea. Today he wanted to see it.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Fei decided to check it out in person.

He jumped and turned into a storm dragon the moment he landed on the sea, flying towards the ghost ship.

From a distance, I saw a green ghostly light on the dark sea.

A huge warship shrouded in a gloomy ghostly atmosphere was sailing silently through the night.

The Ghost Fog (Giant Ghost Ship) is a world-class first-level BOSS. HP 225,000.

My God, how can anything in this ghost place be a monster?

A normal ship should be a vehicle template, but this thing is a BOSS template.

By the way, shouldn't the BOSS be the captain of the ghost ship?

He got a little closer, and he could vaguely see a lot of ghost pirates moving on the bed in the distance.

Maybe there really is a Ghost Captain BOSS up there.

It's better not to mess with this thing.

Mo Fei didn't dare to get closer. Fighting the boss would always result in losses. Although the previous fight against the Raging Tide Robbery Fleet was a crushing battle, he still lost seven dragon-riding sky patrollers and twelve or thirteen people died. I am an adventurer, and I don’t know how much I will lose by fighting this thing. My goal is to slay the dragon, so I can only give up on this kind of wild BOSS.

Let the following Dragon Patroller go back and inform the captain to let the fleet avoid it.

Murphy himself continued to monitor the ghost ship in the air. The ghost ship floated quietly on the sea, exuding ghostly shadows, and sailed calmly on the sea without even a trace. Under the sea, the ghost ship Behind the ship, more than a dozen iron chains hundreds of meters long were dragged, and countless 'lost souls' were tied to each iron chain.

The scene is quite strange.

Murphy watched the ghost ship disappear into the cold water, then flew back to the fleet and landed back on the Storm Dragon King.

The fleet continued to sail in the dark ocean, and at noon, it finally saw the horizon of Northrend in the distance.

Murphy took out the map and checked it. Their current location should be Howling Fjord.

Howling Fjord is a dangerous area composed of broken reefs and seaside cliffs. The terrain is undulating and crisscrossed by canyons. The sea water has formed steep harbors in these canyons, making offshore navigation very dangerous.

Whenever the north wind blows into the canyon walls, it will make a shrill howl, hence the name Howling Fjord.

Murphy also has an old friend living here, but he doesn't plan to visit.

Continuing to drive westward away from the coastline, the broken cliffs and canyons are gradually replaced by the frozen coast covered with ice and snow, and large ice floes gradually appear on the sea.

You can see many penguins looking at the fleet on the cross-current ice. Occasionally, you can see walrus people driving unique fishing boats out to sea for fishing. When they see the fleet approaching, they will often flee quickly. Sometimes they don't even need the boat. Yes, jump directly into the sea.

As the ice floes gradually increased, Murphy had to ask the captain to reduce the speed to prevent the ship from being hit by the ice floes.

However, collisions still inevitably occur, and each collision reduces the durability of the battleship.

Murphy began to regret it at this moment. After all the preparations, he ignored the dangerous environment of Northrend and did not build an icebreaker. These ordinary warships continued to lose durability under the impact of ice floes. Fortunately, they brought them on board. A lot of materials were purchased, and there were craftsmen on the ship who could repair it while sailing.

From time to time, artillery was used to bombard ice floes that were too close.

Even when it was too dangerous, Murphy had to transform into a dragon and fly into the sky to protect the fleet.

Thunder Breath!

boom! A huge ice floe was directly blasted into pieces, and the scattered ice no longer posed a threat to the battleship.

"Wow, brother Aidan is so handsome." A soft and cute voice came from below,

You don't need to guess to know that it's the voice of the cute big breasts.

After sailing along the deserted and icy coast for a whole day, at noon on the fourth day, we finally found some buildings on the coast and a simple trestle stretching out to the sea.

It's a port!

No, it should be the dock to be precise.

The pier is small, and the village above is also small.

But it is still a stronghold, and Murphy is planning to land here.

The fleet moved over without stopping, so he ordered the fleet to anchor two to three hundred meters away from the coastline.

First, several landing boats were sent to transport more than a hundred adventurers and their heroes.

Stepping onto the dock, I looked around and saw a small port village in front of me. The architectural style was very primitive and was made of huge logs. You could see some totem pole-like things on the periphery of the village.

Murphy didn't remember that there was an alliance settlement in Northrend. It might be a camp for monsters, Vikings, walrus fishermen, and the like.

To his surprise, the village was deserted.

Not to mention humans, not even a monster.

When I walked to a simple hall in the center of the village, I still didn't encounter a single monster or NPC.

Murphy opened the door, and there was an extinguished fire pit in the hall. Judging from the style and specifications, it seemed to belong to the Vrykul people.

Strange, where have all the people gone? Could it be that there were players here before them? But even if it was swept away by players, at least the bodies should be left behind.

After checking it, he couldn't find out the reason, so Mo Fei decided not to care about it.

"Let's land here."

This small village is at least a stronghold, and a coordinate point can be displayed on the map.

In the game, we will never design meaningless things. Generally speaking, there is always a subtle connection between strongholds. Starting from here, you will definitely find more monster settlements, dungeons, dungeons, etc. Relics and stuff like that.

At worst, it can trigger a mission or something.

Following Murphy's order, the adventurers couldn't wait to get ashore, followed by the dragon-blooded giant warriors of the Dragon Death Knights.

The small village was quickly filled to the brim.

Murphy sent ten dragon-riding sky patrollers to conduct reconnaissance. There was no obvious road in the cold wasteland. He was ready to confirm the information before moving forward.

However, at night, only seven storm hatchlings flew back.

The situation is not good.

Listening to the returning dragon patroller reporting on the geographical conditions detected, Murphy looked at the increasingly gloomy night and couldn't help but think.

Rachidanan: "Your Highness, what should we do now? Did we encounter a monster?"

Murphy nodded, "It should be, and it's a flying monster."

The Dragon Sky Patrollers are flying at high altitudes, and even long-range monsters cannot defeat them.

The only possibility is that there is a flying monster. Could it be the ancient dragon?

It feels possible. According to the information provided by the Explorers Association, the white dragon should have established its own dragon group.

Murphy gathered together the reconnaissance map and the direction in which the dragon knights disappeared. The dangerous area was mainly in the northwest, while there were no enemies in the northeast. There was a wilderness where a large number of wild animals, reindeer, and arctic wolves lived. , crampon bears, mammoths and the like.

Although beasts are also a monster category, they have the lowest risk factor among the monster categories, because beasts usually fight alone, except for wolves that will gather in a certain number, and basically do not pose a threat to the army.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Murphy refused to move to the northeast, and instead looked to the northwest on the map.

Since there is danger, I just want to go there.

Gather the troops—and go!
