Ignoring how the fish-headed monsters treated the corpses of their squad leaders, Song Jian hid in a safe corner and checked the loot he had harvested.

The Captain of the Fishhead Squad dropped a total of three items, a pair of shoes, a black pearl, and a quaint black wooden box.

"Scaly Boots (Green), Shoes, Gear Effect: 8% increase in movement speed, +3 physical defense, +2 spell resistance, trait: 50% increase in underwater breathing time. Gear Requirements: Level 10. Can you take out the game: No"

This pair of excellent quality shoes Song Jian just could put on, and directly put it into the equipment slot.

"Black pearl (white), valuable, effect: can form a bubble underwater to provide oxygen to the user. The effect lasts for 30 minutes. Cooldown: 2 hours; Sell to get 1,000 Doom Coins! Can you take out the game: No"

This item is good, even if it is sold in the system store, the value is ten times that of those ordinary pearls just now, Song Jian glanced at it and put it in the parcel bar.

The remaining one is a black wooden box that looks a little shabby, with strange raised lines carved on the surface, which looks simple and atmospheric, and seems to have undergone a long period of precipitation, if it is in the real world, it can be collected as an antique.

When I opened the box, I saw a shabby piece of parchment with simple lines on it, which looked like a map.

"Jinyang Lake, the Eye of the Fire God? What is this thing, a treasure map? Song Jian looked at the map carefully and found that it was a treasure map leading to Jinyang Lake, in the center of Jinyang Lake, depicting a ring-like symbol, next to which were written the four small words "Eye of the Fire God".

Jinyang Lake is located on the edge of the city, and it is also a fifteen-level monster area, it is part of the urban wetland park and covers a large area.

These fish-headed monsters in front of them live in Jinyang Lake, and there are not only fish-headed monsters there, some players have also been there, but the attributes of ordinary fish-headed monsters under the water will be improved, and it is more difficult to fight than monsters of the same level on land, and slowly few people are willing to go so far to Jinyang Lake to upgrade.

Put the treasure map into the wooden box and put it in the package bar, Song Jian went around to the back wall of the community and turned over, and after identifying the direction, he ran towards Jinyang Lake.

At this time, most of the fish-headed monsters in Jinyang Lake have rushed ashore to search for supplies, and there should be a lot fewer monsters in the base camp, so I just took this opportunity to see if I could take this treasure.

Finally hunted fifty fish-headed monsters in the regional plot task, anyway, there is no time limit, Song Jian has now hunted more than twenty, there must be many fish-headed monsters in Jinyang Lake, and it is the same to complete this task there.

Song Jian ran all the way, and when he encountered monsters, he avoided and detoured, and it took more than two hours to come to the wetland park.

The wetland park in front of me is full of plants, flowers of various colors are blooming very brightly, and the small canals dug by hand are like spider webs all over the park, but at this time these small canals have dried up and are covered by thick dust and fallen leaves.

There are only some sparse tenth-level fish-headed monsters and small water elements on the periphery of the wetland park, their attributes are no different from ordinary tenth-level monsters, but the number is too small, and only one or two will appear after hundreds of meters.

Walking further in, Song Jian soon came to the edge of Jinyang Lake, the number of monsters here has increased, and the level has been directly raised to level fifteen, at the edge of Jinyang Lake, you can see a simple house built of wood, many fish-headed monsters caught food, are hung in front of the house to dry, surrounded by a faint smell of fish.

This is the base camp of the fish-headed monster, and there are also translucent water element figures that appear in Song Jian's eyes from time to time.

Each of these fifteenth-level water elementals was more than two meters tall, and the power of the water elemental in their bodies was surging, and they carried two golden bracelets on their wrists.

On land, these water elements are the same as ordinary monsters, but underwater, their strength will increase by 30%, and their movement speed will also increase greatly.

I found some lone fish-headed monsters on the edge of Jinyang Lake, and it took a little time to complete the fifty monsters required by the regional mission first, and I got the reward for the first stage, three hundred doomsday coins.

Just as Song Jian was waiting for the release of the second phase of the task, he suddenly received a system prompt;

System: If you trigger the story "Defend the Base Camp", the game system will release the story mission "Conquer the Mermaid", and you can get rich rewards and war exploits by completing the task!

System: The Area Quest you triggered has been terminated, so choose whether or not to accept the "Conquest of the Mermaids" story quest!

Song Jian frowned slightly, it seemed that those fish-headed monsters would be back soon, and there was not much time left for him to find the treasure, so he didn't care about accepting the plot task of "conquering the fish-headed monsters", Song Jian took out the treasure map and studied it carefully.

The treasure map is marked very clearly, the location is under the fish-headed monster base camp in the middle of Jinyang Lake, although most of the fish-headed monsters have gone out to search for supplies, but it is impossible for there to be no fish-headed monsters near the base camp, how to bypass these fish-headed monsters, it is a problem to enter the place marked by the treasure map, and the water elements in the water are also very headaches, the water elements that have not entered the combat state are like a flowing light blue liquid underwater, if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to distinguish.

After observing for more than half an hour, Song Jian finally discovered the pattern of these monsters patrolling the fish-headed monster base camp, they have a total of six teams, each team has seven or eight fish-headed monsters, and each patrol, only one team is underwater, every five minutes, they will swim back to the base camp in the middle of Jinyang Lake to rest, and another team will take them over and go underwater.

When the two teams hand over, there is a vacuum of about thirty seconds, and they can take this opportunity to enter the location marked on the map.

In addition to these six teams, there are also some scattered fish-headed monsters next to the base camp, these fish-headed monsters seem to be in a juvenile state, only level ten, playing around and frolicking.

Another problem is the water elemental, if the sprint is too loud, it is easy to hit a water elemental headfirst without realizing it, you must go down to the water in advance, hide aside, and wait for the mermaid guard to change shifts.

This time underwater is at least ten minutes, not including the distance from the lake to the center.

However, Song Jian has the Fish Scale Boots and the Black Pearl, and it shouldn't be a problem to slowly approach the center underwater.

After Song Jian looked around, he chose a place where there were no monsters and quietly dived underwater, ordinary players could only hold on underwater for 5 minutes, and with the Fish Scale Boots, Song Jian could hold on for six and a half minutes, and thirty minutes with the addition of black pearls was enough for Song Jian to wait underwater until the vacuum period when the two fish-man guardian teams handed over.

Quietly entering the bottom of the lake, slowly swimming forward, carefully avoiding the wandering water element, Song Jian came to the back of a big stone only seven or eight meters away from the fish-headed monster's base camp, hid his figure, and waited quietly.
