Chapter 4: The First Sight of the Tree-Creeping Fish Monster
The first thing that catches your eye is a base made of boulders and steel, with an atmosphere of primitive and modern technology.
This is the advance base set up by the Terrans in the other world, and it has the role of early warning and communication between the two worlds.
The portal is so big, so even if humans want to arm the frontline base here into a metal fortress, they have no choice but to use local materials to make the frontline base into a boulder structure, and some key parts are connected with metal.
"We've reached our destination, which is the mangrove base. Teacher Wei's voice came from the front, first taking his students to the base center on the side to register, and then taking everyone to visit the base set up in another world.
When Mr. Wei led everyone to climb the wall of the mangrove base, everyone couldn't help but be stunned and stunned!
I saw that at the end of heaven and earth, at the junction of the sky and the earth, there was an extremely spectacular and unbelievable scene!
It was a vast sea, a white sea made of white clouds, and in the scorching midday sun, they sparkled like a golden garment!
Yes, it is completely different from the sea in the earth, the sea in the earth is made of water, but the sea in this parallel world is made of white clouds, which is very strange!
That's why this parallel world is called the Endless Sea of Clouds, because when you're deep in it, the clouds around you are so vast and ethereal that it's like you're in heaven and earth!
"Okay, let's take a break and form a team freely, and we'll go hunting monsters in the afternoon!" said Head Wei beside him.
"Yay!"
"We have a powerful mage, the meatiest tank, and a nimble assassin in our ranks, and now we are short of a sharpshooter with a bull pen, come on, kneel down and beg for a shooter!"
"Our 301 dormitory sincerely invites a tank, don't disturb if you are not sincere!"
As soon as the head teacher's voice fell, the entire senior three (3) class was boiling and noisy, forming teams with each other!
After hundreds of years of verification in the post-civilization era, mankind has found that when summoners have a well-developed team, the hunting success rate and safety rate will be greatly improved!
And a complete team, the general members are about six people, namely mages, assassins, marksmen, warriors, tanks, and auxiliaries.
Of course, this is the most standard and perfect lineup, generally four or five people are fine, but the error tolerance rate will be greatly reduced, once a player can't keep up with the rhythm, then it will face a huge death blow!
For example, in dormitory 404, Xiong Batian is a tank, responsible for attracting firepower to block monsters.
Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian are both warriors who are responsible for interfering with or killing monsters.
And Huang Xiaotian is the shooter and is responsible for remote output.
The 4 of them can also form a team, but the error tolerance rate is low, for example, Huang Xiaotian was a three-minute shooter before and had a low output.
Once you encounter a difficult and powerful enemy, and Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian have insufficient output, it is very likely that the entire team will be wiped out because of this!
It's not a game, it's a reality, and if you make a mistake, someone will be injured or killed!
This is a naked death threat!
So if possible, everyone still wants to try their best to form a complete team, after all, life is the most important.
"The Four Heavenly Kings of Zhenjiang, strive for a violent mage!" Zhao Ritian immediately shouted: "Of course it's the best soft girl, hehe!"
Zhao Ritian said hehehe, his face full of obscenity.
He calculated very clearly, Huang Xiaotian, a scum with a shooter's combat power of only 5, could not rely on his output, and it would not be possible to ask for another auxiliary role, so it was best to have a violent mage!
Xiong Batian stepped forward to entangle, he Zhao Ritian, Long Aotian and the mage gathered fire, and it should be enough to deal with the monster output of the Black Iron Rank!
However, as soon as Zhao Ritian shouted, he was immediately stopped by Long Aotian.
"Brother Aotian, what's wrong?" Zhao Ritian said with a sneer.
"You don't need to call anyone else, it's enough for us 4 brothers. Long Aotian said.
"En?" The three of them were stunned, and they all looked at Long Aotian in puzzlement.
"There aren't many monsters facing the mangrove base, usually giant water rats, tree-climbing fish, jumping fish and other monsters. ”
"The giant water rat is insidious and cunning, and the jumping fish is nimble and agile, neither of which is very easy to deal with, so let's go hunt the tree-climbing fish first!"
"And with the strength of the four of us, it's enough to fight the tree-climbing fish monster!" Long Aotian slowly analyzed.
"What?" Zhao Ritian's sneering smile froze instantly, and he said with a little dissatisfaction: "Big brother, I also know that tree-climbing fish are the best to fight, but most of the tree-climbing fish monsters are level 9 and 10, and there are relatively few black iron ranks above level 11!"
"The most important thing is that compared to tree-climbing fish and giant water rats, the contribution points and price of this monster are much lower!"
Summoners can slay monsters and then sell their corpses to the nation for contribution points and money.
The higher the level of the monster, the stronger it is, and the more contribution points and money you get!
The strength of the tree-climbing fish is weak, the level is low, unlike the jumping fish and the giant water rat monster, and the strength is generally above the black iron rank, which is also the reason why Zhao Ritian is unhappy.
The benefits of fighting tree-climbing fish, jumping fish, and giant water rats are too different!
"Well, didn't we say okay?" Looking at Zhao Ritian's dissatisfaction, Long Aotian said a little strangely: "This time we came to the other world, the primary purpose is to raise the level of the fourth child first!"
"That's right, that's right, this time we'll fight the tree-climbing fish monster first!" Xiong Batian next to him immediately nodded honestly when he heard it, and echoed: "Let's fight the jumping fish monster later." ”
"Aotian, Batian, no, let's play jumping fish......" Huang Xiaotian hurriedly refused, feeling moved and guilty in his heart.
"What are you talking about, we are all brothers, this is all as it should be!" Long Aotian walked over and put one hand on Huang Xiaotian's shoulder.
"But I ......" Huang Xiaotian immediately felt even more guilty.
"Okay...... Okay. Zhao Ritian hesitated for a moment, looked at Huang Xiaotian and pursed his lips before he said slowly.
......
In front of the mangrove base, between the land and the endless sea of clouds, there is first a yellow sand beach, and then a large area of black tidal flats.
It looked as if a large thick black line appeared around the sea of white sky.
And on top of these black mires, there are a large number of evergreen shrubs and trees, which become "trees in the clouds" when the sea of clouds rises and the waves rise.
These forests are mangroves.
"Hey, didn't you say that the coast of this base is full of mangrove forests, why are these forests green?" asked Xiong Batian puzzled.
Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian obviously didn't know the answer either, and shook their heads.
"No, mangrove forest does not mean that the appearance of such a forest is red, but that the wood, trunk, branches, and flowers of this tree are red, and the bark is also red when it is cut. Huang Xiaotian said.
In the three years of high school, although Huang Xiaotian's martial arts strength is reversed, his liberal arts strength has always been the first in the whole grade.
"Oh, I see!" Xiong Batian and Long Aotian were stunned, but Zhao Ritian couldn't help but pouted again, stared at Huang Xiaotian, and scolded in his heart: The strength is not good, and knowing so much and using the ball? It's just a burden!
In fact, there are mangroves in the earth.
The Earth's mangrove forests grow in the upper intertidal zone of tropical and subtropical low-energy coasts and are subject to periodic tidal inundation. It grows in the tidal flats and shoals at the junction of land and sea, and is a special ecosystem that transitions from land to sea.
They are the pioneers of the waves, the guardians of the coast.
It's just that the scale of the mangrove forest in the endless sea of clouds is even larger, and the size of the branches and leaves of the trees is several times larger than that of the earth, and it looks as if you have really walked into the "forest in the clouds", which is very beautiful and spectacular.
As everyone approached the shore, they saw that between these mangroves, a huge fish monster was swimming around in the white waves, and the huge black shadow was shocking!
With the strength of everyone's current Black Iron Rank, they naturally did not dare to enter the endless sea of clouds to hunt, and could only look for some low-level monsters on the beach.
The two monsters, the tree-climbing fish and the jumping fish, are more special, they are the strange creatures of fish, and most of the time is not in the water, but on the land!
Based on this characteristic, it is very suitable for students to practice for the first time.
However, be a little wary of the giant water rats, which are insidious and cunning, often hiding between the sea of clouds and the mangroves to sneak attack, so everyone should be very careful.
In fact, the endless sea of clouds is inextricably linked to the sea of the earth!
It is even said that the endless sea of clouds is actually the sea of the earth, except for the composition of the two: one is clouds and the other is water, there is not much difference between the others!
Except, of course, for the creatures that live inside!
Because in the sea of the earth, there are also fish creatures such as betta fish, tree climbing fish, and jumping fish, but compared with the endless sea of clouds, the size of these fish creatures on the earth is simply like people's Zeng Zeng Zeng ...... Grandson the same!
Many scientists speculate that perhaps many of the monsters in the endless sea of clouds are the sources and ancestors of the earth's marine creatures!
The four of them soon sneaked into a large reef, only to see that on a piece of beach in front of them, a huge "fish" was slowly crawling out of the white waves, it crawled over the mud, crawled across the beach, and left thick bruises on the ground.
Its body is flattened and slightly rectangular, more than two meters long, and its body is covered in patches of hard, craggy fish scales that shimmer like metal in the sunlight.
A fish head is even more hideous and terrifying, and the dense sharp teeth clearly tell 4 people that it is not a vegetarian!
Of course, the most surprising thing for the four people was that under this strange fish, there were two fat and stout, webbed-like fins!
This strange fish "crawls" ashore with its pectoral fins, not swims ashore!
"This tree-climbing fish monster is a bit high-level, there are even level 14!" Xiong Batian glanced at it and said in surprise.
"It's okay, it's only level 14, the three of us can kill him together!" Zhao Ritian glanced at Huang Xiaotian and said lightly.
It is obviously not an idea that only the 404 dormitory has to practice the knife with the tree-climbing fish monster first, and at the moment when the four of them were about to rush out, a women's team next to them rushed out first!
"Hey, I was the first to get there!"
"Forget it, lady first, let's wait for the next one!" Long Aotian said.
