Chapter 46: The Battlefield of Mutations
"Boom...."
"Bang...."
As players earn more and more pirate gold, some rare combat equipment has also been exchanged from the system warehouse by a few new players. At least several of the cannons that have been pushed out on the streets have all the players looking sideways.
Centuries-old antique cannons have been used to the horrors of this pirate horde to the battlefield.
Naval cannon (bronze)
It was first popular in the Age of Discovery, and the backward production technology made this item have a lot of troublesome problems.

Exchange price: 100 pirate coins per piece
"Bang... Boom, boom..."
With just one shot, the terrifying cannonball undead killer directly cleared the pirate tide in front of the player into a terrifying void area nearly 50 meters long. More than 300 Wraith Pirates were directly shattered by this terrifying weapon of war, and the green smoke flying in the sky all spoke of the brutality of this weapon.
"Oh... Handsome..."
"Oh yes..."
……………………………
Seeing such a terrifying damage effect from the cannon, several white players guarding behind the cannon let out a loud cheer. The cannonball of only 100 gold coins brought them more than 5 times the gain, and in a few minutes, the 1000 gold coins they invested in the cannon before would pay off. Even though the monsters killed by the cannon don't count for experience at all, the lucrative gold rewards make them crazy excited.
"Rub, what's going on? What are those newcomers up to? Go and see it personally..."
"What's that going on? Check it out...."
"What happened?"
…………………………………………………….
When the player bosses such as Bloody Eye, who were embarrassed to fight against the tide-like monsters, figured out what was going on, they all regretted it and almost hit the wall, why didn't they expect this trick.
They have been in the game for a long time, and they are completely fixed by the dead routine of the game, and no one has seriously turned over the huge various consumables and war weapons in the warehouse supplies. Having completely degenerated, all they can think about is how to snatch the fruits of other people's battles. The slowly devouring minds have made them lose their most basic forward-looking vision.
"Right now, go exchange for two cannons and come back..."
"Scrape together the money and exchange it for two..."
…………………………………………………
As the player team entered the stadium with the cannons they were purchasing, the sound of the cannon bombardment began to echo throughout the docks.
The effect of the terrifying bombardment caused by the cannon is comparable to that of Antonio's direct amplification, except that the shells fired once a minute are much more destructive than the ones caused by Antonio.
In just ten minutes, the number of ghost pirates with more than 30,000 was visibly thinned to the naked eye.
As early as the first cannon shot, Qiao Mai knew what was going to happen. Sure enough, each shot of the terrifying cannonball cleared a large blank space, and the terrifying monster-killing efficiency made Qiao Mai's face pale.
"MD, if you keep doing this, I'll still have a fart head..."
Commanding the five starving ghosts to frantically sweep the surrounding ghost pirates, Qiao Mai and the three of them also specialized in finding places with dense monsters to impact and strangle. Despite this, as more and more players push cannons into the harbor dam, the dense crowd of pirates disappears with the naked eye.
Rarely, the roar of the cannon completely drowned out the terrifying screams of the ghost pirates.
"Ding, the 4th wave of pirates is less than 30%, and the pirate captain One-Eye-Gard will send the 5th wave of pirates to attack in a minute, and he himself will lead the pirate commandos into the battlefield in 10 minutes..."
"Ding, when the fifth wave of pirates is 3W, 50 elite pirates, 2 warrior pirates..."
The prompt sound of the system made Qiao Mai just want to scold his mother, and the fourth wave plus the previous more than 30,000 ghost pirates were actually killed, and the time did not even exceed twenty minutes.
"Mystic Will..."
"Poke the foot - shake the ground, nails, run thunder..."
A few leg flicks in a row kicked all the remnant pirates around them into smoke. Qiao Mai realized that there was no monster within a few tens of meters around him.
More and more players rushed to fight for the remaining sparse pirates. A huge number of newcomers poured up from all directions, making Qiao Mai, who had never thought that there would be so many people, instantly stunned. Almost subconsciously, Qiao Mai dismissed a few starving ghosts, and the less people knew about this secret, the better.
With the help of the terrifying number of pirates refreshed on the battlefield this time, many newcomers killed a large number of ghost pirates with the help of the Jinghua weapons exchanged in the reserve warehouse, and most of them reached level 5, and a few even exceeded level 5 and reached level 6. It's an unimaginable rate of upgrade. The other veteran players around him were instantly silent.
"Boom..."
Qiao Mai, who heard the voice, turned his head to see that Iron Dance had already killed the difficult warrior monster. Incidentally, he also dealt with several elite monsters, making his pirate gold count to more than 4,000.
Iron Dance, who had just come back to his senses, also looked at the surrounding situation in surprise, and he didn't dare to be distracted by fighting with warrior-level monsters. So much so that only now did he realize that something was wrong on the field. The terrifying number of monsters had almost completely disappeared, and Iron Dance was depressed as he watched the large number of players fighting with pirates in the distance.
What's going on?
"Hey, hungry... It's not right, we won't be able to get much oil and water in the future..."
Antonio, who was also depressed, walked over to Jomai, who was the most stressed to take on four more people. The sudden change in the battle situation annoyed him the most.
"Hey, this battlefield was meant for us newcomers with a large number of them... It would be nice if you could follow the light, what else do you have to complain about..."
"Uh...".
Qiao Mai's sharp answer immediately left Antonio speechless.
"Well, no more ado... The three of us are going to join forces, and no matter what else it takes, we must win that championship... Kill one of them, we'll basically be enough..."
Antonio, whose eyes were red, stared at the dozens of pirate ships in the distance, and through the hazy mist, a large number of ghost pirates jumped off the ship again and frantically pounced towards the port.
As the distance drew closer, soon the loud and mixed roar echoed over the harbor area again.
"I heard that you didn't cooperate with the leader of that ninja, why did you call me... Not afraid that I will get an extra reward? ”
Thinking about those hateful ninjas, Qiao Mai felt unpleasant for a while. No matter how arrogant other players are to kill people and grab treasures, they will also choose a secluded and unoccupied place. And those Japanese ninjas have never been on any occasion, as long as they want to kill the player they want to kill, they will go to war whenever they encounter it.
Real-world races, nationals, and even religious hatreds have been brought here entirely. As long as the Chinese are determined to not deal with the Japanese, this is hatred that has penetrated into the blood and even the soul. Therefore, Qiao Mai can fully imagine how much Chinese players' blood was stained on the hands of those Japanese ninjas.
Influenced by the environment and education since childhood, even Qiao Mai, who has no heart and lungs, is quite disgusted with the Japanese. And after the incident a day ago, Qiao Mai raised this disgust to the point of a certain hatred.
"Oh, Heavenly Father is above... Who cooperated with her, an unrecognized pseudo-peak force... She's not on the same level as us at all, and I can imagine that she hates me and Mai to the core... Perhaps, she is plotting to kill both of us. ”
Antonio, who was completely disdainful, looked disgusted at the mention of the Japanese woman.
"What the hell is going on?"
This confuses Qiao Mai.
"Hey, I forgot that you don't know what the so-called peak force means, and I forgot to tell you just now... Goo-too..."
Antonio, who took out a bottle of holy water and poured it in one gulp, straightened his throat before he began to speak slowly.
"The so-called peak force is an exclusive title for those of us who have not entered the Gaia continent to complete the bronze baptism, and it is also a great honor."
After a pause, Antonio raised the index finger of his right hand.
"The bronze layer of the Gaia continent will open the mysterious King's Gladiatorial Arena every three years, and all bronze players and powerhouses will choose to enter it to compete for the title of "King of Gladiators", as for what this title is for, we don't know. It's just that when your strength reaches a certain level, when you end a bubble world, the system will prompt you that you have the stage title of "Peak Force" and have obtained the qualification to enter the "King's Gladiatorial Arena". ”
"Let's not mention the King's Gladiatorial Arena, because no one here knows what it is..."
"Regarding peak force, after in-depth inference by countless veterans, a conclusion has been drawn..."
"When a player's strength/agility/physique all exceed 3, they will gain a powerful character trait: Perfect Body (Bronze), and when they will have more than 3 will/perception/spirit, they will gain another powerful character trait: soul baptism..."
"Not to mention the perfect body, you and Iron Dance both have this trait... And this is what the baptism of the soul looks like..."
As he spoke, Antonio shared one of his traits with Jomai.
Character Characteristics: Soul Baptism (Bronze)
The character's soul attributes all exceed 3 points without being baptized in Bronze, and your soul is blessed by some mysterious medium. Every hour, you will gain 1 Soul Shock ability. Unleashes a powerful soul blast in a 3-meter-diameter radius around you, resulting in damage equal to the difference between your and the target's Soul Attribute *2.
"Hey, you don't even know how powerful this feature is... In the entire bubble world, the reason why mental defense equipment is so expensive is because of this..."
Looking at Antonio's smug smile, Qiao Mai's expression became very strange.
This character's trait is entirely its own: an infinitely weakened version of the mystical will. Thinking of his obviously countless times more powerful characteristics, Qiao Mai showed a strange smile. Do you want to tell Antonio this cruel truth?
Forget it. Qiao Mai, who had cramps at the corners of his mouth when he laughed, still gave up this brain-dead idea, he could fully imagine that Antonio, who knew this fact, would definitely eat himself alive with a red eye.
Qiao Mai understood that what he had originally obtained should be this trait, and his obviously powerful soul attribute coupled with his strange talent gluttonous power caused his characteristic to produce a powerful mutation and evolution. Perhaps the first critical property probe of the system at that time also played a role.
Qiao Mai, who was thinking silently, probably thought of the reason why she got the "mysterious will".
After doing it for most of the day, all my abnormalities still come from my weird talent: the power of gluttony?
What will this talent look like in the future?
