Chapter 379: First Arrival in the Northern Continent
After the turmoil in the Storm Inland Sea in this world, relying on the leadership of the new Sea Beast King Jeshia and the leader of the House of Elders, Prince Leano, as well as the strong reinforcement of Rococo, the nascent primordial goblin, the Sea Beast Clan, which had been hit hard, finally used the Hydra Islands as a barrier to resist the Chaos invasion from the Northern Continent to the north of the Hydra Islands, making the Storm Inland Sea a situation where the Sea Beast Clan and the Chaos Forces were divided between the north and the south.
However, although it is a division between the north and the south, the distribution of power between the two sides is not a very standard situation in which the north and the south are divided relative to the center. The entire Storm Inland Sea is roughly oval-shaped, and the place actually occupied by the Sea Beast Clan is a crescent-shaped sea area that includes the three sides of the Inland Sea, which seems to be weak, but it can allow the Sea Beast Clan to effectively consolidate its own defenses with the power of the order allies from the Western Misty Sea, the Southern Continent, and the Eastern Continent, while the Chaos side is heavily entrenched in the north.
As in many cases where the two sides are in a hostile diplomatic situation but do not actually start a war, the Sea Beasts and the Chaos side have a tacit understanding of a narrow neutral zone between their respective areas of actual control, which serves as a buffer zone for war between the two sides. Having said that, the Sea Beasts on the side of order were certainly able to restrain their own troops and civilians from stepping into the buffer zone, but the forces of chaos were not surprisingly unable to do so at all.
At most, those Super Chaos Lords and ordinary hundred-level lords who are the main force of the Chaos Army and the large and small chaos biota gathered around them can still honestly stay in the north of the Inland Sea, but those "unorganized" scattered Chaos Monsters wander from the north of the Inland Sea to the buffer zone in the middle, and even directly launch a deadly attack on the sea defense area of the Sea Beast Clan's handle. This is all too normal for chaotic creatures whose thinking circuits are full of chaos.
According to the geographical location, aside from the long-distance raid plan of going all the way north into the desperate desert in the north of the Eastern Continent, crossing the continental boundary line in the desert and entering the territory on the east side of the North Continent, if you want to go from the South Continent or the Eastern Continent to the North Continent, the normal way is naturally to take the sea route. And taking the sea route to the north, perhaps it is not difficult to bypass the real territory of the Chaos forces through route planning, but it will almost certainly have to pass through a long or short war buffer sea.
Of course, the players who took the advance mission in the previous life are even worse than this, after all, half of the inland sea area in this life is still in the hands of the order camp, and the sea beast clan has not completely degenerated, and in the previous life, because of the complete fall of the sea beast clan, the order side can be regarded as completely losing the right to control the sea in the storm inland sea area at the same time, and the advance team players in the previous life want to complete the task on the north road, first of all, they must first try to cross the inland sea area that has completely turned into a chaotic territory, in comparison, the advance mission in this life, The difficulty has simply dropped by more than one level.
Traversing the War Buffer Sea will have to deal with the roaming Chaos creatures that may appear here, even if it is the first hurdle for players who take on the level 80 counteroffensive story advance mission. At a time when the Alliance of Order's general counteroffensive against the Chaos Forces has not yet begun, without the backing of its own large NPC army, it is much more difficult to deal with the attacks of the Ocean Chaos Monsters at sea with the strength of the player team alone, which are mostly degenerated by the Sea Beasts or Sea Monsters, than to deal with monsters of the same level on land.
Fortunately, Rococo and they didn't bother too much about it, their ship was created by the combination of Rococo's various special mission rewards plus bubble kryptonite reinforcement, and all the attributes of small ships of the same size really dared to say that even if they were not the first in the suit, they could be ranked in the top ten or even the top five, and they could run if they couldn't beat it, which was a very easy thing for them in most cases, not to mention that they didn't need to run at all - there was a level 120 NPC boss on the ship, It's enough to make the chaos creatures that don't have long eyes come to the door one by one.
This is not the first time that the "Primordial Elf Merielo" has taken their ship or teamed up with a team of players, as early as in the previous Storm Inland Sea plot, in order to surprise surprise attack the Hydra Prince Yekal, who was corrupted and corrupted by chaos but disguised as the identity of the Order faction, the Primordial Elf NPC hid in their boat to participate in the faction war. But after all, that time was because of the plot mission, and this time the "Primordial Fairy Meriellu" rode with their team, but the reason was quite surprising to the team members - the famous Primordial Elf was entrusted by the elves to go to the Northern Continent like them, so they came to take their team's hitchhiker, Ano, hitchhiker.
This reason is actually quite reasonable, after all, although the primordial goblins can fly, it is obvious that such a way of rushing consumes more energy and physical strength, and if the primordial goblins go to the Northern Continent to carry out a secret mission, it is a bit too ostentatious to fly all the way over...... But to put it mildly, this still can't hide the subtle sense of character collapse brought by the dignified primordial goblin to do such a generous thing as "rubbing the boat".
However, when I think of the relationship between my own captain and the original fairy NPC, everyone is relieved, the favorability of the omnipotent captain Rococo in this primordial goblin can almost be regarded as high as far as the visual point of view is concerned, and even if you want to say that this primordial goblin deliberately came to Rococo to make Ji in the name of rubbing the boat, they will not disbelieve it, but it is bitter Chu Jiajia, is this another big drama where childhood plums can't win from the sky......
The gossip lovers in the team who had similar thoughts (led by Flash Bubble and Star Fruit) quickly broke their eyes, because they saw the scene where the three of them were chatting happily with Chu Jiajia on the left and Chu Jiajia on the left and the primordial goblin NPC on the right.
Sure enough, their captain Rococo is really omnipotent......

By the time Rococo noticed that his teammates' eyes were full of unexplained admiration, their boat had safely arrived at the target coast of the North Continent, and their attention was attracted by the scenery on the coast, so Rococo naturally did not be able to delve into where the admiration of his teammates came from.
From the first impression, the Northern Continent is not as terrible as everyone imagined before they came. The basic constituent elements of the entire continent are not much different from those of the Southern Continent and the Eastern Continent, and there are also various plants and ordinary animals on the land, and the number and density of the wild chaos monsters active here are not too much, and even compared to the scene where the chaotic monsters they have experienced in the Desperate Desert and the Strange Domain Dragon King Holy City are full of evil and twisted creatures everywhere, it seems that there is no difference between this place and the ordinary monster wild area on the Southern Continent except that the hostile wild monsters have become chaotic attributes.
However, it wasn't until everyone got down to the small boat and actually landed on the Northern Continent, and then moved towards the meeting place agreed with the elven advance team in the mission prompt, that they really felt the hidden malice of this chaotic continent towards them, the guests of order.
Because of the erosion of chaos, not only the fallen monsters that infested here, but even the ordinary animals and plants on the northern continent showed a more or less distorted sense of madness. Like a black bamboo with barbs growing all over its body, one ear is normal, and the other ear has become an ugly hare, with a large sarcoma on its back, and a pointed mouth on its head, like a large insect that has merged with words......
Compared with the flora and fauna on the two southeastern continents of the order camp, it is obvious that the creatures on the North Road have almost no coordination in terms of shape and appearance, and those abrupt appearance changes make these creatures generally not conform to the aesthetics of normal human beings, and develop in the direction of deformity, distortion and even disgusting. In addition, perhaps due to the influence of the forces of chaos, both the environment and the creatures here tend to be gray in tone, which is even more uncomfortable.
“…… Wow, I'm starting to hate it here. ”
As he walked, Xing Xingguo said with a frown.
"After all, I just came out of a place like the Elven Forest, and the contrast is really a bit strong."
Sunflower also echoed that, as a girl, she, like Xingguo, has no good feelings about this kind of rare thing that conforms to normal beauty.
Next to Xingguo, the ice shooter seems to agree with his own Qingmei from the expression, but it may be due to the habit of raising the bar (ai), raising his hand and pushing his glasses to speak.
"It's not like I'm here for a tour, and it's not like we haven't been to disgusting maps like undead zombies before."
It's a pity that the ice shooter was obviously not very lucky this time, because just as he said this to Xingguo, Gao Nut on the other side of the road, in order to comfort the depressed sunflower, picked a small flower from the side of the road and handed it to his girlfriend.
Suddenly, Xing Xingguo's gaze at the Ice Shooter was a little unkind, and the Ice Shooter's face was slightly embarrassed, and he coughed lightly and turned his head to pretend to be calm.
"Brother Han, this is a single body with strength......"
Gangdi, who was walking in front of the four people, sighed, and Rococo, Chu Jiajia, who was walking with him, and the flash bubbles all showed expressions of laughter, and the coco sister on the side almost laughed, but thinking that his current NPC identity should not be able to understand the dialogue of these players, so he forcibly stiffened his face.
Thanks to this daily routine in the team, the feeling of depression caused by environmental factors when they first arrived on the North Continent was reduced a lot in everyone's hearts, and everyone followed the mission instructions for a long time, and finally after climbing over a small hill, near several conspicuous boulders below the hill, everyone found the greeting personnel of the elven advance team.
However, contrary to expectations, several members of the elven advance team did not wait in place, but looked like they were being besieged by a group of chaos monsters. At the same time, the update of the mission log for the convergence of the elven advance team sounded unsurprisingly.
Putting away the mood of fun and laughter on the road, everyone in the team took their weapons, and then rushed out as the high nut and Chu Jiajia and the steel floor thorn in the front row of the melee.
The mission begins!
