237 Night Battle Seasand-1
The entire Haisha Plain was almost overwhelmed by players and humanoid monsters, like a huge battlefield, frantically strangling each other, with heavy casualties on both sides, but the balance of victory and defeat was strangely not tilted in favor of either side.
In general, the number of monsters is far greater than that of players, 50,000 players seems to be a lot, and it looks overwhelming, but when 50,000 people are thrown into a huge, flat and wide battlefield, it seems to be sparse.
However, as a "consumable", and considering the special breeding "refresh" method of "Endless", the number of a monster clan is often about five to ten times that of the player, and the number of monsters like the fish man who wins by number is more likely to exceed the number of players by more than ten times or even dozens of times! Not to mention that there are three or four monster clans here!
So after the scuffle began, standing on the sand plain and looking out, it was slowly full of dense forests composed of people.
Fortunately, because the players did not get close to those large villages and strongholds at the beginning, but mainly cleared out those wandering scattered monsters and small settlements, and did not lead to those monsters that gathered together, so they were able to maintain the balance of power between the two sides.
But with the accumulation of death, hatred and revenge, more and more monsters seem to be pouring out of the cloning machine, constantly pouring out of those villages and strongholds into the battlefield, which has caused the overwhelming strength tilt, and the players were once driven by the monsters to defeat and retreat, and hung up in batches.
To the surprise of the initiators of this war, the players seem to have been killed, and as soon as the people who hung up were resurrected after a period of death punishment, they began to call friends and bring in more players to help.
You know, there are more than 200,000 players gathered on the entire Ogalus Island, and after these people are concentrated on the Ogalus Island, and have obtained a common identity of power, they began to quickly unite, make friends, form gangs, and form small circles under the name of the "Secret Shadow" guild, or have a good relationship, or friends who already know, these are the most common relationships in online games, so that they have a greeting and can pull people to work hard.
In online games, there are not so many rules in reality, and the courage of the players is also very wild, death or something does not cause them to be afraid, play the game, don't hang up a few times and be embarrassed to go out?
Moreover, the relationship between friends in online games is also very easy to build, and after chatting and fighting monsters together, they can easily become friends, especially when everyone is a peripheral member of the "Secret Shadow" guild, which makes it easier for them to get close and form a group.
But this kind of relationship is very shallow, it's normal to stick a knife in the ribs of a friend and a friend in the ribs if you have nothing to do, but the real relationship between friends and brothers between players is also established in the process of stabbing me twice when you have nothing to do, and I stabbing you twice when I'm bored.
As a result, the event of holding a "guild event" that was originally only organized for 50,000 players with relatively high strength soon developed into a full-scale war between players and monsters.
Death hatred? Revenge?
I'm sorry, but this mode is just as effective for players, but only you, the monster, can call reinforcements? We players are the ancestors in this regard!
And players have one of the biggest killer features! That is, even if the strength is low, but the player can be resurrected, and although the number of monsters is large, the individual is strong, but it can be hung up, and when it is consumed to a certain amount, it will have to wait until the monsters breed and carry out a period of growth before they can enter the battle.
Although it is slow, the players are slowly showing a little sign of victory!
Wutong and Wuthem, caught in the chaotic crowd and strange sea, very strong to eliminate more than a dozen primitive barbarian small settlements and bandits' dens one after another, and then wantonly looted, as for those garbage equipment they disdain, just cheap Those players who noticed the strength of this three-person team were all picked up by them without pulling at all.
The players are scared! Although they joined the "Secret Shadow" guild, but because there is no official guild mode for the time being, there is no effective management method, so they can only let the players move on the island of Ogarus, except that they nominally joined the "Secret Shadow" guild and became a peripheral member of the guild, in fact, they are not much different from when they were on other trial islands.
However, in order to manage and restrict these players, Uncle Butler still managed to develop a set of management mechanisms, that is, the "Concentration Camp Management Law":
1. The association provides members with convenient and fair channels for the purchase of raw materials.
2. Provide members with a purchase channel for equipment, skill soul crystals and other necessary items that are 10% cheaper than the market price.
3. Guild members have the obligation to provide the guild with the necessary materials, materials and other items in each game.
4. Guild members have the obligation to: take the initiative to respond to various tasks issued by the guild.
5. Guild members have the obligation: I do not harm others, I do not be hurt by others, and I protect others from harm.
6. Unity and cooperation, obey management
Although this set of management rules is not too strict, but because there is no officially supported hard surname management conditions, it can be regarded as somewhat restraining players, you know, now Ogaros Island is the "Secret Shadow" guild is the dominant family, and there is no other player power at all, that is to say, a main city and twenty-four villages on the entire island are the sphere of influence of the "Secret Shadow" guild!
Players who violate the rules of the guild such as disobeying management, making trouble at will, etc., will be wanted by the guild, not only will all the villages on the island have no place for the wanted person, but they will also be hunted down by more than 200,000 players on the island
Why do so many guild forces want to imitate the operation model of the "Secret Shadow" guild? Here's the benefit! Read to rule!
In fact, the guild's requirements for players in the early stage are not high, and the main purpose of recruiting them is to provide raw materials for craftsmen, and at the same time consume the products produced.
They are different from real internal members, except for guild status, they do not have any benefits, but, in the unique environment of Ogalus Island occupied by the "Secret Shadow" guild, they will not be disturbed by the outside world, nor will they be oppressed and exploited by some player forces, although they join the "Secret Shadow" guild, the treatment they receive is also a kind of exploitation, but in general, this "exploitation" is acceptable to them, and even happy to accept!
Equivalent exchange! You provide shelter for me, and I serve you!
In such a rule-bound, relatively fair and peaceful environment, they can obtain currency by completing the material collection tasks and prey hunting tasks issued by the guild, and there are special personnel to purchase them at a fixed point near the material growth area and the prey infested area, without the need for them to transport them themselves, and even have a special field supply fleet near the leveling area, so that they can save a lot of worlds, and collect, hunt and improve their strength easily and quickly.
And the currency obtained, you can also buy all kinds of items you need from the guild, basically, not only is it much cheaper than the NPC store, but even 10% cheaper than similar products sold by other players on the market. The most important thing is that in this environment, without resistance, their strength will increase at a speed far greater than that of other players on the Trial Island!
Such a guild with strong strength, strong financial resources, and a good environment is simply a gospel paradise for them casual players, because the vast majority of casual players do not want to join the guild, but many guilds, and at this stage, they will not waste guild resources at all, and accommodate players with low strength and no expertise to join the guild.
Therefore, whether it is a sense of identity, cohesion, or centripetal force, in short, these players who have just joined the "Secret Shadow" guild are still very obedient to the orders issued by the guild, which has caused more than 50 secret shadow warriors to separately convene a group of small bosses and small leaders among the players, and after pulling up 50 teams of 1,000 people, in the case of being blocked in the battle, there will be players who will take the initiative to rush over to assist.
Originally, I was just going to rely on the strength of the people to complete the task of clearing the Haisha Plain, but it turned out to feel as if things had expanded.
There was no command at all in the melee, and the three of them were directly submerged in the player group, but the shocking combat power of the three of them made them quickly stand out, and slowly began to gather some players towards them, following them to pick up cheap.
Wutong is not exclusive to this.,Anyway, they don't want a lot of things.,Let people follow behind to pick it up to avoid waste.,Look at the appearance of those players It seems that they want to get together and set up a set of almost.,But the aura of no is too strong.,This makes those players only dare to follow from afar.。
Wu pulled the decapitator out of a human bandit, looked up for a moment, and frowned inadvertently: "It's time to retreat." ”
"What?"
Wutong, who was holding up his backpack and asked Xiaoxiao to help stuff the loot into it, didn't hear it clearly, and looked up in amazement, only to find that the sky had darkened, and the delicate sea sand under his feet had begun to become soft because of the humidity.
"It's high tide!"
Wutong was startled, and after looking around for a while, he found that the player group had indeed begun to retreat on a large scale, and the Loka fishmen living in the shallow sea were about to start haunting! In the dark of night, in waist-deep waters, there is no way for players to compete with these aquatic monsters.
However, the progress of clearing the Haisha Plain has only been half completed, and if it continues like this, it will be very difficult to clear out the small settlements and small villages on the Haisha Plain, not to mention attacking the six strongholds!
If you can't continue to consume the number of monsters, after a night of recuperation, the monsters who get a chance to breathe can expand the number of the group to close to the original size, in that case, it will be a long-lasting thing to complete the task with 100% perfect completion.
In order to avoid being flooded by the sea at high tide, the bottom of the small settlements and small villages in the intertidal zone on the sand plain is basically stacked with reefs and tree branches, which makes these small settlements look like reef forts on the beach at low tide, and small isolated islands at high tide.
Wutong's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at the beach behind him, there were about dozens of small settlements that had been completely emptied by the players, and a large number of corpses of primitive barbarians and bandits were scattered all over the place, not to mention the equipment on the monsters, and even the stone spears and stone axes of the barbarians were looted as trophies by the poor and crazy players.
More than the monster corpse,It should be the player's corpse.,After the player hangs up,The equipment on the body is the same as the monsters.,It's all left on the corpse.,This kind of battle damage once made the players complain.,It's okay in the early days.,Everyone's equipment is not very good.,Although it costs a lot of money to buy.,But it's not particularly rare equipment.,It's distressing at most.,It's not to vomit blood.。
However, as the game progresses, sooner or later, players' equipment will develop towards valuable rare equipment. In such a situation, it is not uncommon for players to be devastated and lose confidence in Endless and quit the game in frustration.
However, this will not be the case for the "Secret Shadow" guild for the time being, because players who join the "Secret Shadow" guild can use the collected materials to exchange for a standard "guild suit" from the guild with various materials collected and processed and produced by the guild's craftsmen.
It is a complete set of [inferior] quality thin leather sets including helmets, full armor, arm guards, wrist guards, gloves, belts, shin armor, boots and other accessories, and you can get a higher quality set by continuing to complete guild quests, of course, you can also buy it if you are willing to spend money directly.
There is not only the name of the producer on it, but also the membership number imprinted on the equipment, although these equipment do not have a binding function, but the guild will not buy the equipment of others sold by the player, almost everyone has this kind of equipment, and it is useless to pick it up, so the battle damage of the guild is reduced as much as possible.
After the player hangs up, they will either "run away" and resurrect in place, or wait for the death penalty time to pass and resurrect in the temple, and the equipment that has not been taken from the corpse will return with the corpse, so that players only need to renovate and enter the battle again through the teleportation circle.
The sea has begun to rise slowly, and the speed of devouring the beach is quite fast, but if you don't pay attention to the scene, the clear water has already submerged the ankle of Sycamore, and in front of him, there are many players who are still fighting with the monsters, and the sea has been flooded to the depth of their calves, or even waist-deep.
Those scattered corpses floated up with the sea, floating and sinking to the depths of the sea, after a night, the corpses will become the food of the fish in the sea and the monsters of the sea sand plains, giving birth to a large number of biota to provide food for the monsters, thus breeding a large number of monster groups, this is what players are puzzled about at the beginning, why the corpses that will not be refreshed are often disappeared after one night.
And the equipment and items on the player's corpse, just like the loot on the monster's corpse, will also be obtained by the monsters, the corpse becomes food, and the equipment becomes the loot collected by the non-humanoid monsters, and after the monsters are killed, they become the trophies of the players, and the humanoid monsters are more direct, after obtaining the equipment left by the players, they are directly used to arm themselves.
In addition, a large number of players and monsters died, and the overflowing soul energy not only improved the level and power of the players, but also strengthened and advanced after the monsters absorbed the soul energy, if there is a more powerful monster, has been killing the player, but has not been killed, then theoretically, it is possible to continue to strengthen and become a "boss".
Hundreds of thousands of players on the Haisha Plain and a larger number of monster races, large-scale melee, the soul energy that overflows after death is not necessarily absorbed by both sides, there are always various reasons, resulting in a large number of unaffiliated soul energy dissipated in the space, these soul energy in the sky above the Haisha Plain, almost formed a soul energy light mist that covers the sky, like the aurora swaggering and changing, reflecting a bright and cruel beautiful light.
Just like in the ruins of the underground temple, these unaffiliated soul energy will affect the changes of creatures in this area, and may evolve undead creatures as a result, and may also promote the enhancement, mutation, and advancement of monsters in this area.
If the players don't get rid of all the monsters on the Haisha Plain in a short period of time, then the new monsters generated by breeding will evolve more powerful on the basis of their parents, and slowly, the Haisha Plain will be promoted to a high-risk map.
As the sea rose, the player's area of activity became smaller and smaller, and they had to retreat to the outskirts of the forest, and Sycamore also returned here, resting near the field supply convoy sent by the guild, but accidentally found the Pastoral Brothers near the field supply convoy.
