After more than an hour of racing at sea, May suddenly said, "You have observation equipment on board, right?" ”

"Of course, this is a guide ship."

"Then find out if there are any islands nearby."

"Islands, yes?" The captain said to one of the players on the side of the platform: "Activate the Sky Eye system and project the picture to the full analysis platform." ”

An octagonal platform suddenly rose in the center of the command room, and then a small boat appeared in the center of the surface of the command room, and two islands were displayed not far away. May's eyes were about to pop out, and he excitedly rushed to the side of the table to look left and right, and finally couldn't help asking, "Is this a full image of the nearby area?" ”

I nodded. "Using the bionic sonar system in the water and the optical crystal in the air medium, and then relying on the magic array technology to fuse the new belt of full analysis projection green platform. The maximum radius of action is 700 kilometers, and the maximum can be found on the surface of the water. However, this thing is still relatively expensive, and currently only the Overwatcher and Super Battleships are equipped with this system. You just asked if we have an observation system, are you looking for these two islands? ”

May nodded. "That's where we want to go." May refers to a crescent-shaped island, and in the midst of this crescent moon there is an inner bay, and it seems that you can drive directly into it.

"That's where you saw the White Jade Qilin?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure you saw them go in there, then?"

May said: "I know what you mean, don't worry. I have a demon pet who, although he doesn't have any combat abilities, can keep in touch with me at any time. I'm still watching the people you're looking for. ”

"What? Can you see them now? ”

"Of course." May said: "A large part of the reason I chose the Musketeer profession is because of this pet. It's useless to the average person, but to me he's the best. I can see the white jade unicorn hunting down those strange creatures now, to be honest, I've never seen a creature with such strong combat power before, more than a thousand times more powerful than the big boss I encountered when I leveled up. ”

Since I can see it in May, I am much more relieved. Easily sat back in his seat and said, "What kind of boss are you talking about?" ””

May was stunned for a moment, but still said: "The giant stone lin in the stone forest in the Sichuan region, a nine-hundred-level monster, is very powerful. I was only over 600 levels at the time, and it took a shit luck to kill it. But it's incomparable to this white jade unicorn, how nice it would be if there was such a magic pet! ”

"Hahahaha...... Don't be arrogant! I only dare to let her be a bodyguard for our guild, you actually want her to be a magic pet? Admire, admire! ”

"I just think about it, I know that there is no hope for something of this level. At the beginning, that giant stone lin was only level 900 and almost killed me, this white jade unicorn is at least level 1,900, and dealing with us is probably like pinching ants. ”

"Don't call the white jade unicorn, the white jade unicorn. Her name is Yinxue, and she is a very cute young lady. Besides, she's not level 1,900. It's fifteen thousand. ”

"What? Fifteen thousand? Does Zero have this high level setting? ”

"Looks like you're rarely in contact with senior personnel." I explained, "Zero has different levels for different people. Originally, the maximum player was 1,000, but recently the 10,000-level system has been opened, which means that the maximum can be upgraded to 10,000. However, the method of adding experience points has not changed, so level 10,000 is just a theoretical level, if you really want to go up to level 10,000. Then you have to be prepared to continue leveling for 10,000 years. I estimate that even for someone like me who is very lucky and strong, it is almost time to reach the 12300th level. As for the average player, level 1,000 is almost the limit of their land. However, the above refers only to the player. This rule does not apply to NPCs and monsters. ”

"So, the monsters might be higher, right?"

"The level of monsters is generally higher than that of the player, because as the level increases, the player's combat power increases faster than the monster's combat power. Under normal circumstances, a level 100 player will have a hard time dealing with a level 100 monster, and if there is no particularly good luck, it can basically be considered a sure defeat. Therefore, before level 200, everyone chose low-level monsters to fight. ”

May nodded: "Everyone is mixed up from newcomers, and I was looking for monsters seven or eight levels lower than me before level two hundred." ”

"Oh, so you're pretty good. Most players choose monsters that are ten levels lower than themselves to fight, and many people still team up to bully low-level monsters. ”

"What about you? Is it also a monster who chooses a few levels lower than himself? ”

I laughed. "I'm in a bit different from yours because I just got out of the novice village and I had a dragon. That's why I'm all jumping over the level and fighting monsters. But this is just my personal special situation.,Most players actually refer to multi-person cooperation to jump over monsters.,It's not like me to go single-handedly to jump over monsters.,If it's not a dragon like me.,That single person skipping the level to fight monsters is basically the same as suicide.。 ”

"You're awesome."

"It's nothing, just a bit of luck and a bit of improvisation. But at least everyone admits that it is difficult for players to deal with monsters of the same level as themselves before level 200 alone. But then it's different.,As the level increases,Players begin to choose the same level as themselves.,Even a few levels higher monsters to earn bonus experience points for jumping over the level to fight monsters.,And as the level increases,This gap will get bigger and bigger.。 Now, it is basically not a problem for a general level 800 player and a level 900 monster to tie. But when the player reaches level 1,000, the monster is even less than the player. Therefore, the maximum level of wild monsters is fifteen hundred, and it is capped here. ”

"Then you can kill all the enemies you encounter now?" May asked, confused.

I shook my head: "It's not what you think it is. Although monsters are only at the top of 1,500 levels, do you know what a monster is? ”

May shook her head.

I continued: "Monsters are actually those combat creatures that are specifically used to upgrade the player, and they are characterized by low intelligence, mostly wild creatures, they are just fixed dead creatures in this game, and they have little to do with the background structure of the game. But most of the players are actually fighting monsters, and the people who really know the game are fighting NPCs like I did. ”

“npc? You're referring to the system-controlled individuals in the city? ”

"Not only in the city, but also outside the city, there are also some individual people who save for special tasks and game backgrounds, they are all NPCs. The level of NPCs starts at level 400, and I don't know what the upper limit is, but I know that no NPCs that can fight with us will exceed level 20,000, because the basic level of the upper god in "Zero" is level 20,000, and those who meet this standard are the upper gods. However, the upper gods do not participate in battles, so it is possible that the creatures that fight with us will not exceed the maximum level of 20,000. For example, the Heavenly Court of our country is a typical NPC force, and the Hong Jun Sect Master among them is likely to be a guy close to level 20,000. As for the super thugs under their command, most of them are concentrated between eight thousand and eighteen thousand. I've seen a 10,000-level phoenix before, and it's very fierce. ”

"What level are the Four Holy Beasts?"

"I don't know how much, it's more than 17,000 anyway."

"So, the three great protector beasts are not as powerful as the four holy beasts?"

"That's not it. I can't tell you the specific reason, you just need to know that the current three major protector beasts are not complete. Yin Xue is currently the highest level among them, and now she has fifteen thousand levels, and she has the hope of reaching the twenty-thousand-level standard in the future. ”

May stuck out her tongue and sighed: "Sure enough, they are all cattle!" ”

The captain suddenly turned around and said, "We have arrived, how are we going to go after that?" ”

That's when I noticed that the boat had slowed down. At this point we were in the gap of the Crescent Island, and a little further on was the inner bay. I looked at May and asked, "You're the guide, and it's up to you how to go after that." ”

May said: "After that, the big boat will be useless, just put the small boat down." ”

"Then let's change boats."

May and I came to the stern. Then summon Lucky to help release the dolphin in the stern of the boat into the water. The size of the baby dolphin is about the same size as the electric boat in the circle, but it is more slender. After putting down the boat, I took back my luck and jumped on it, and May jumped off with him. I waved the captain to drive the ship back to Isengard, so they didn't have to worry about going back.

After the big boat left, I sat in the control seat of the little dolphin. The maneuvering of this kind of boat is very simple, through a guò similar to the control stick of a transport aircraft, the direction and the ascent and dive, the thruster is controlled by two foot pedals, the left foot is backward and the right foot is forward, the heavier you step on, the faster you run. In addition, there is a master switch on the control plate, and the leftmost one is the shutdown. In the middle is the low-speed mode, and on the right is the high-speed mode. Such a thing is simply easy for people who are used to modern appliances. It is easy to maneuver even if it is the first time you sit on it.

I turned the start switch to high-speed mode, and with a slight force on my right foot, the little dolphin immediately jumped out. Don't look at this little thing, it's not big, but the power is not small at all, and the speed is amazing. May didn't expect this thing to start so hard. Almost flipped into the back seat.

"Damn, why are you guild stuffing so hard?"

"Hehe, the horsepower shows that we have strong technical strength! That's right. What about the place you are talking about? Show it to me. ”

"You just drive over there first, and you'll be able to see it when you get there."

I pressed the pedal hard all the way, and the little dolphin immediately accelerated and rushed out. Although the dolphin is only a turtle speed compared to the watchman, the boat is small, and there are references nearby to compare it to, so it feels as if it is faster than it is on the watchman. In less than five minutes we were almost at the deepest part of Moon Bay, and now I knew where to go without May's command. The tip of the crescent island is a gentle sandy beach, but in the middle of it is a vertical cliff with a cave entrance on the cliff. At first glance, you can see that this is the passage that May said could use a small boat.

"How did you get here in the first place?" I asked, looking at the mouth of the cave with the black rumbling.

May smiled wryly. "Don't ask, it's a shameful thing anyway."

Since May said that it was a shameful thing, I didn't want to ask again, but I just raised my eyes and looked at the entrance of the cave. The top of the cave was fifteen meters above the water, and the width on both sides was about thirty meters, enough for the watchman to enter, but since May said that he would use a small boat, the cave would probably get narrower and narrower, otherwise he would not have to prepare a small boat.

After entering the cave, the light was blocked, and the cave was obviously dark, and it felt very cold. After we entered the cave for a distance, May, seeing that I was still unresponsive, continued to open in, and finally couldn't help asking, "Why don't you use the fluorescent stone I asked you to buy?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't see!" I have night vision myself, so I can't remember that others can't see in the dark. As I spoke, I took out May's space equipment from the phoenix dragon space. Although this thing is space equipment, it itself is not too small, and May usually has no way to carry it everywhere, but now that I am here, I am naturally more comfortable with my hands.

A fluorescent stone was taken out of this small box, and the pale green light immediately lit up the cave, but under this color, the already terrifying cave was immediately illuminated even more terrifying. The stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave were like evil beasts, as if they would pounce down at any moment.

I gave the fluorescent stone to May to hold and turned the ship's main switch to low-speed mode. It's no better here than outside, and it's easy to hit the wall if it's too fast. In low-speed mode, as long as you don't press the tower to the end, the speed will be very slow, but once the pedal is pressed to the bottom, the little dolphin will immediately enter the fastest speed, this setting is used to deal with unexpected situations. In case of sudden danger in low-speed mode, you can accelerate away in an instant by pressing the pedal all the way down.

We slowly drove forward at a pace similar to a normal person's trot, all the while I kept a close eye on what was going on around us. Suddenly, I jerked my hand and my fingers moved, and a crossbow arrow thrust into an object about the size of a rock on the roof of the cave. May was just about to ask me what I was shooting arrows for, but suddenly I was shaken by the "stone" I shot, and then fell from the top of the cave and fell into the water with a thud.

"The grouper monitor lizard, a giant venomous species, loves damp and cold caves, and if I don't shoot it down, it will hang us up with its long tongue around our necks as we pass underneath." I explained to May.

"Your eyes are very pointy."

I pointed to the red, crystal-like object on my forehead. "It's not me who saw it, it's her."

"It?"

"It's my symbiote, my name is Queen, it's actually a parasite."

"Then it's convenient for you to get there, and you can have one more person to help you monitor your surroundings."

"Not one more, but two more. I also have a spirit pet. The phantom came out to say hello. The phantom suddenly popped out of top of my head, then waved at May, and then returned to my body. I continued, "The queen is not usually responsible for monitoring the surrounding environment, her main task is to command the bugs to help me fight and gather intelligence, and the phantom is my head of defense. ”

"It's really convenient to summon a lot of creatures. Listen to Wu Wei (the real name of the Child of the Night) that kid said, your summoned creatures seem to be in the thousands? ”

"If you count all the little bugs individually, it's really more than 10,000, and it's more than 10,000. However, there are generally only about 10,000 that can be calculated separately. ”

"That's a lot," Ge Yan suddenly exclaimed, "be careful. ”

I urgently hit the direction, the little dolphin flashed to the side, and a stalactite fell into the water next to us, if it wasn't for the direction, it would have thrown us into the water. I turned around and raised my hand to be an arrow. Another monitor lizard fell into the water. "There are so many poisonous monitor lizards in this hellish place."

"It'll be fine in a while, the entrance of the cave is relatively high, and the front is full of underground rivers, and these things don't seem to dare to go into the water."

"You're right. These guys love the wet though. But he can't swim, and if he falls into the water, he will definitely die. ”

May nodded, then pointed to a stalactite sticking out of the water in front of her and said, "Attention has been touched." ”

"Yes." I adjusted my direction a little and walked around with ease. The water in front of me was not as open as the part of the cave, the water surface was obviously much narrower, and from time to time there were stalactites sticking out of the water standing on the water, and I had to turn left and right to avoid these stalactites, but fortunately it was not fast and it was easier to dodge.

After continuing to drive for a while, the width of the water surface has become less than four meters, and the top of the cave is getting lower and lower. In the end, it became almost reachable. May looked at the front with some concern and said, "This front may not be passed." ”

"It doesn't matter. Don't look at the small boat, it's well-equipped. I said press a button, and the edge of the boat suddenly lit up. Then a pale blue curtain of light suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire upper part of the ship. This is actually the kind of waterproof door used by the Sea Clan, but it has been transformed into a diving cover by our guild people.

May reached out to touch it, but his hand passed through the light curtain, and he immediately looked at me in surprise. I explained with a smile on my face: "This thing can be waterproof, but it does not affect the passage of other substances, which is more convenient than a glass cover." And when there is an enemy. As long as the output frequency is adjusted, it can be turned into a total barrier that cannot be passed through anything. ”

"Admire! There are a lot of good things in your guild! ”

"Small." I smiled and pushed the joystick forward, and the little dolphin immediately began to sink first, and soon burrowed under the surface. "Hehe, so you don't have to worry about the roof of the cave. Okay, put your fluorescent stone away, you won't be able to shine very far underwater. As I spoke, I flipped another switch, and suddenly a circle of blue lights lit up around the hull, and this light shone far away before gradually dimming. It penetrates very well in water. Before May asked, I explained to him: "This is also the technology of the Sea Tribe, which is specially used for underwater lighting, and it shines much farther than your kind of thing." ”

May smiled: "But the scenery of this light is as scary as fluorescent stone." ”

The walls of the cave illuminated by the blue light are indeed scary, but it is easier for this light to reach far away from the surface of the water, so there is nothing we can do.

After a while of further progress, the passage began to narrow noticeably again, and the entire roof of the cave was submerged. But one thing that has always puzzled me is that there doesn't seem to be a fish here. Supposedly, there should be a lot of fish around the island, but I haven't seen a single one in the cave for so long. After thinking about it, I still opened the phoenix dragon space, and then summoned Ayana out.

"Ayana, help me see if there's a big hole or something in front of me."

Ayana nodded, then stood up. The energy shield on the top of her head was only waterproof and protected against other things, and Ayana lightly stuck her head into the water, and after a while she sat down again. "I've probed it with sonar, and the passage ahead is narrower than here, and the sonar can't travel very far. Do you want me to go ahead and have a look? ”

"You sit here first, and we'll talk about it later."

May said: "Why are you so nervous? My Earth Demon Pet has followed those people past here, and I haven't found any danger! ”

I didn't look at May, but nervously controlled the boat and said: "Yinxue is tens of thousands of times more powerful than the dragon, even when the dragon flies through the forest, it can scare the animals inside and flee in all directions, do you think that if Yinxue passes through here, what other creatures dare to stay here?" Of course, it's no problem for your demon pet to follow the Protector Divine Beast over, but they have already passed, there is only us here, and those things dare not touch Yinxue does not mean that they dare not touch us. ”

Ayana suddenly patted the two of us on the shoulder, then pointed behind her. "I think your inference, master, has been confirmed, so it's better to run fast now."

I glanced back with May, and was scared at the same time. I hurriedly sat back and slammed my pedals to the bottom, which was better than hitting the wall than being caught up by something behind.
