Chapter 346: Mutation
Since then, several people have not dared to take it lightly, and no one has mentioned the matter of going offline, for fear that if they are not careful, the ship will be besieged by monsters and sunk.
The atmosphere became a little tense, and the ship continued to sail in the dark sea for a long time, and it was really attacked by a large number of stinging fish.
These stinging fish, all the size of a palm, are silver-colored, and have a row of gray bone spurs like willow leaves stuck upside down on their backs, and attack the ships as they pass by.
The number of thorn fish is extremely large, in the dark night, under the starlight, the number of thorn fish in the eyes of the six people is also innumerable, fortunately, these thorn fish are not densely gathered together, the warning range is very small, it is not a chain of hatred, at most, there are only ten thorn fish together to attack Xiao Hua and the boat they are on.
There is also the fact that the level of these thorn fish is very low, Xiao Hua and they can basically kill them in two clicks, otherwise with this low-level ship they are on, the defense and durability are super low, as long as two or three of the thorn fish that come to attack each round hit the ship, and before they get out of the activity area of the thornfish, the ship will have to sink.
Although it didn't take much effort to kill these stinging fish, the spirits of the six were all highly stressed. In the dark, these thornfish are low-level, but sometimes they will cunningly try to hide the eyes of several people, swimming from places they don't know and trying to attack ships. At first, the few people didn't expect the IQ of these low-level thorn fish to be so high, and they let a few thorn fish get their hands on it by accident, but after that, under the preoccupation of the six people, they didn't let the thorn fish succeed again.
In the process of defending against the Thornfish, the two ranged attack classes of Twelve Nights and Dumb have played a lot of roles. Especially Dumb, worthy of being an archer, his eyes are very sharp, and more than half of the stinging fish that swim from tricky angles and want to sneak attack the ship are hung under Dumb's arrows!
Although Xiao Hua has never seen Dumb use any skills, he is very impressed by Dumb's method of hitting the stinging fish with the correction function of the system. Dumb guy, in reality, I'm afraid he definitely has a hand in playing with guns or playing with bows and arrows!
The ship sailed through the spikefish area for several hours, until the sky turned white and the sun slowly rose over the distant coastline, when the thornfish gradually disappeared and the blue and calm sea was restored.
The sky had become brighter, and there was no monster attack, and the six of them were all relieved to feel the soft sunlight and cool sea breeze in the morning. After staring at those palm-sized stinging fish for a night, several people were a little tired.
A few people relaxed, planning to take a break to prevent being attacked by the sea monster group again, but at this time, several people received a system prompt.
System prompt: You have left the Huaxia District, entered the public sea, and gained 100,000 experience!
"Okay! The news of that mysterious man should be good, at this rate, in another day, we should be able to enter the lost sea!" Wolf Warrior received this system prompt but was excited, it seems that the current situation is in line with the news he got.
The following morning, the boat was not attacked by any monsters in the sea, and Xiao Hua also took out his fishing rod after seven or eight o'clock in the morning, sat on the edge of the boat and fished. It's time for them to replenish their stamina, which is much faster at the Sea Guild than on land, and last night, their stamina was exhausted.
The master-level fishing technique is indeed worthy of its reputation, as long as Xiao Hua throws the fishing hook into the sea, he will be able to drop a fish in a short time, and the fish he catches is different every time, and occasionally he will really catch a rare fish that will cooperate with advanced cooking skills or even temporarily increase the surname or let the physical strength not decrease for a short period of time!
After cooking the fish they caught and replenishing their strength, the six of them chatted and relaxed for a while, and then spent the morning.
Time blink into the afternoon, but at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the six of them were stunned to look at the sky, the large black clouds floating from afar, getting thicker and thicker! Just a moment ago, the sky above them still did not even have a single white cloud, but now, in a few minutes, these black clouds came out of nowhere, and when they found out, the sky had completely darkened, and the air around them was also instantly cold, and then, a large piece of cold rain fell heavily from above.
If it was just raining, but in the sea, such a rainstorm was accompanied by huge waves and tsunamis!
"The ship won't just be sunk by that wave!"
The six of them looked at the huge waves in front of them that were carrying the momentum of destroying the world and the earth, like a giant dark blue wall ten meters high, swooping towards them, and their faces changed greatly!
It was only a small boat that could carry six people, and they wouldn't be surprised if it was powdered by the waves!
Rumble!
The huge wave more than ten meters high smashed down from the top of their heads, and everyone only felt that their breath was suffocated, and it was pitch black in front of them, and they felt as if they would be pressed under the water forever!
But then, several people were relieved and hurriedly opened their eyes, only to find that the ship had not been smashed into powder, and even the durability had not decreased a little, but everyone's HP and physical strength had dropped by half at this moment!
Seeing this, Black Fire Phoenix hurriedly performed a healing technique to replenish the physical strength of several people. In the turbulent sea, the ship swayed, but the Black Fire Phoenix was not an ordinary priest, and every healing technique was used accurately without the slightest deviation. According to the current situation, this sea storm will continue for a long time, and if it weren't for the Black Fire Phoenix plus blood, they would probably have to consume a large amount of recovery potions.
HP can be regenerated with skills, but not stamina. In this harsh environment, several people were under the batter of the storm while rolling up and down with the ship on the churning sea, and it didn't take long for several people to find that their physical strength was rapidly consumed, and the occasional huge wave that fluttered down from their heads was more like desperately consuming their physical strength!
At this time, Xiao Hua did not think of using fishing skills to fish and cook, but honestly ate the ready-made food in the boat to replenish his strength. Since Xiao Hua had been fishing and cooking to recover his strength before, the warehouse of the six people in the boat was more than half of the food, and it would not be just because of this physically demanding storm that caused a shortage of food.
The storm lasted for three hours before it stopped, and by about five o'clock in the afternoon, the sea had finally returned to calm, and the thick black clouds above the sky had gradually dispersed, revealing a clear blue and comfortable and tranquil sky.
After three hours of icy storms, several people felt the light of the setting sun slanting from the sky, and felt warmer than ever.
"The sea is really not easy to mix, the big monsters have not been encountered, and a storm has left us in a hurry. Twelve Nights said lazily.
"I just saw that Brother Twelve Nights is much calmer than us, has Brother Twelve Nights ever been to sea?" Xiao Hua listened to Twelve Nights' words, but suddenly said.
When they were hit by a storm just now, the six of them, Twelve Nights were the calmest one, a little calmer than the wolf warrior and the wind fluttering, as if they had the experience of being attacked by a storm.
The rest of the people listened to Xiao Hua's words, and couldn't help but look at the twelfth night, they didn't have time to think about it just now, but now that they think about it, it was indeed the case.
"Hehe, it's really careful not to steal brothers, to be honest, I've heard people talk about storms, but what it actually is, I'm not sure, and it's hard to say. Twelve Nights said with a smile.
In the following time, after resting for a while, several people began to encounter monsters that would attack the ship again, and then several people began to get busy again.
Due to their experience of being attacked by the stinging fish, this time the ship was well protected and did not allow the ship to be attacked again.
And in the process of killing these sea monsters, Xiao Hua picked up a manufacturing blueprint of a high-level ship from the sea after killing a sea monster that looked a little higher-level!
Not only Xiao Hua, but the six of them, all of them picked up two or three manufacturing drawings of various high-level ships all night!
"It's so easy to find a manufacturing drawing in the middle of the sea that is rare in the interior. Looking at the ship's manufacturing drawings in the backpack, the wolf warrior was a little crying and laughing. But even if they got the drawings now, there was nothing they could do. To make a ship, in addition to making drawings, you also need all kinds of materials, the more advanced the ship, the more difficult it is to get materials, they want to turn the manufacturing drawings in their hands into ships, there are no ten days and half a month, don't even think about it!
Dead back to build the ship immediately, and then bring a large number of men and horses to complete the task, this can only be thought about in the mind, not to mention, there are already people in front of them to go first, they don't have this time.
The ships traveled uneventful until the evening of the third day, and then they entered an area of the sea called the Lost Sea, and after entering this sea, an island appeared in their field of vision!
"It's here, it's there!" Rao is a wolf warrior, and when he saw the island, he couldn't help but shout excitedly.
Xiao Hua looked at the huge island, and his heart was faintly excited! Everything now is completely consistent with what Wolf Warrior said, that is to say, those huge rewards are also very possible!
After a few hours, the ship was very close to the island, and in a few moments, it would be able to land on the island!
There are many high cliffs around the island, and when Xiao Hua and the others hadn't found a place to land for a while, Twelve Nights pointed to a place and said, "You can land there!"
A few people took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case, and they couldn't help but praise the good eyesight of the twelve nights!
And Twelve Nights listened, just smiled slightly.
The landing place was a small beach with many old shell fragments on the beach, and there was silence all around.
"Beware of ambushes. When he got off the boat, the wolf commanded in a low voice.
The wolf warrior led the way, Xiao Hua and Fluttering with the Wind followed in front, and Twelve Nights, Black Fire Phoenix and Dumb walked a little behind. For the sake of prudence, Xiao Hua and Fluttering with the Wind both opened stealth, of course, using the same team visual mode.
In front of the beach, there is a two-meter-wide path that slopes slightly upward, and on both sides of the path is a low cliff, and if you take many steps forward, they will officially enter the island.
Under the leadership of the wolf warriors, several people cautiously walked forward, beware of the attack that suddenly appeared from the shadows.
"Hey, there's a pattern there!" didn't go far, and Twelve Nights saw something on the cliff ahead.
"Don't rush, it could be a trap. The wolf also saw the pattern on the cliff in the direction pointed by the Twelve Nights, but he was very vigilant and did not walk over immediately.
"I'll go over and take a look first, in case it's a trap, there is also a shapeshift that can be used. You take the Black Fire Phoenix away from me, and if something happens to me, you can be resurrected. Twelve Nights thought about it and said.
Wolf Warrior thought that this idea was good, so he took Black Fire Feng and Xiao Hua and a few steps away.
Twelve Nights walked over cautiously, approached the pattern on the cliff, stepped heavily around a few times, and then knocked on the pattern on the cliff, and after seeing that there was still nothing abnormal, he waved his hand to a few people to signal safety.
"Let's go, in the past research, at least we should record the characteristics of the pattern, maybe it will be related to the task in the future. The wolf waved his hand and walked over with a few people.
"The pattern is very old, it should have existed a long time ago, so I don't know if it has anything to do with the mission. "Twelve Nights had already observed the pattern first, and then guessed.
Xiao Hua followed a few people, and also leaned over and looked at it. On the cliff by the side of the road, there is a small area that has been cut relatively flat, and a more weathered pattern has been carved on it, and it seems that it has been a long time. The pattern is very simple, it is six dots of different sizes, surrounded by a relatively large dot, but the meaning represented is difficult to understand for a while.
"Do you know what it means?" The wolf looked at it carefully, but couldn't guess a reason, so he could only look back at a few people.
"I'm not good at guessing, you guess. Twelve Nights first spread his hands helplessly and took two steps back.
Xiao Hua didn't know, Heihuo Feng was also confused, it seemed that it was impossible to see something from this extremely simple pattern.
"Let's take a look at the characteristics of the pattern first, and then make a confirmation of the task, maybe it can be used. Wolf Warrior thought for a moment and said.
Xiao Hua and the others all nodded, but at this time, the twelve nights, who had withdrawn two steps away, suddenly raised their staffs, and from his fiery red staff, a fiery red light burst out!
