Soon, the five met again.

They looked at the dilapidated wooden box in the middle of the waterhole, and looked hesitant.

"—I'm 100% sure that there's definitely something strange in the water, and as soon as we get close to the treasure chest, we'll be slaughtered."

Kotou Kim sent a text message.

But we don't have time to continue exploring, even if we know it's a trap...... (Helpless)"

The centaur replied.

"-You only have this one life left, I still have one chance to be resurrected, it just so happens that this life is not very sensible, I'm going to thunder."

Polaris finished sending the message and walked forward without looking back.

"—be careful, Polaris."

Su Keying instructed.

Polaris nodded silently, and as he walked forward, his vision already beginning to appear, and he felt like he was going crazy soon.

When I came to the edge of the pool, I looked at it for a while, and found that the water was very turbid, and I couldn't see what was down there. At this moment, there is no wind, and the whole water surface is quite calm, without any waves, like a giant beast's open mouth of blood, quietly waiting for its prey to come to the door.

Polaris took a deep breath, jumped directly in the next second, and the whole person got into the water.

Crash!

The puddle splashed.

He wasted no time and swam straight towards the small piece of land in the middle of the waterhole.

The waterhole is small, the size of two or three basketball courts, and Polaris will soon be able to swim to its destination.

But just as he was halfway through the swim, he suddenly felt his leg wrapped around a large, soft object, and then a huge force came.

There was no room for struggle, and he was dragged down.

Gollum......

A few people by the waterhole saw the North Star swimming, and suddenly sank down, a few bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, and the whole waterhole returned to its deathly tranquility.

“……”

"—There's something strange in this pool! What happened? Polaris? ”

Several people looked at each other, and the centaur asked eagerly.

"—I don't know, but I suspect it's some kind of large creature...... Octopus? Maybe it's something else, I can't see clearly. ”

"-Then we won't wait for you, reason has been diminishing, and time cannot be wasted."

"-Let's fight, get some things back."

"—Separate the distance to the water, so as not to be caught by the monsters below the water."

The players exchanged a few words in the public chat.

They ran around the waterhole, each about ten meters apart.

"—I counted to three, got into the water at the same time, and then left nothing to do with it, and swam straight to the treasure chest!"

The centaur commanded in the public chat.

"-Okay, Roger!"

"-understood!"

"—Let's get started."

However, just as the centaur was about to count down, the waterhole suddenly changed drastically.

Whoa!

The surface of the water is like a boil, bursting with splashes.

Dozens of dense small black shadows burst out of the water and rushed towards the players on the shore.

"Strange! They're ashore! Go back! ”

The centaur didn't have time to speak in the public chat, so he shouted directly.

The others didn't need to be reminded, and when they saw this scene, they were startled at first, and then hurriedly retreated.

When they came to their senses, they could see what was coming out of the pool, and they couldn't help but be startled.

It was a "fish-man" less than a meter tall, with a human-like torso, covered in disgusting scales, webbed membranes on the palms and toes, and carrying all kinds of rusty kitchen knives and harpoons.

Croak!!

Their heads are huge, almost the size of their torsos, and their mouths open and close, making strange frog-like cries while revealing their tiny fangs.

——!

The gills shake and make a splash.

They raise their weapons and charge at the players in an almost frenzied manner.

Boom!!

The centaur took out his rage and pulled the trigger at a fish-man.

Small steel balls sprayed on it, sending it flying for several meters. The rusty iron hook in the fish-man's hand fell, and his whole body fell to the ground and tossed over, disgusting dark red blood flowing out of the holes, soaking the ground on the ground.

To the centaur's panic, the eyes on both sides of the fishman's head rolled and stared at him with malice and madness.

Wow!

The row of fins on its back retracted, its body stopped writhing, and it died.

[Kill the tainted transcendent creature "Walking Fish" and gain 120 experience points!] 】

"-Don't be afraid, they're actually very weak, but the experience points are good, kill them all!"

The centaur grabbed a ball and fired another shot, killing a walking fish, and taking time to give a hint in the chat.

Boom! Bang bang!!

Others opened fire one after another, spewing out dense steel balls, killing several walking fish in an instant.

But the walking fish behind did not stop in the slightest, they did not care about the death of their companions, and continued to rush forward with their rusty weapons.

"—it's really weak, you can basically kill one with one shot."

Forgotten Mowgli replied.

"—Kill more! More than 100 experience is worth one, where can I find such a good experience monster? ”

Doghead Kim looked excited.

He also counted his enthusiasm for fighting the most, and after firing a shot, he skillfully loaded his left hand without stopping at all.

However, there are a large number of walking fish, and soon, they are already closing in front of the player, raising their weapons and slashing at them.

Poof!

Forgetting Wuji, he accidentally stabbed his arm.

WHILE THE BLOOD WAS SPLATTERED, HE ALSO RECEIVED A [CONTINUOUS BLEEDING] DEBUFF EFFECT.

Boom!!

Forgetting the walking fish in front of Wuji, the huge fish head suddenly shattered, bursting out countless yellow-brown things. Its body flew backwards, rolling, and finally struggling a few times to stiffen.

Looking back, Polaris gasped for breath and rushed to the scene.

"Thank you, Brother Beizi......"

Oblivion said hello with a smile.

"Don't get distracted, move quickly!"

Polaris passed over him and put on his Connie One mechanical glove.

Rumble!!

Flames erupted from the glove, and with a wave of Polaris' hand, the flames formed a curtain that enveloped the first few walking fish.

Croak!!

The fire-burning walking fish screamed and crackled, then ran a few steps forward and fell to the ground in a charred state.

Polaris grimaced, and in two directions, two high-temperature fireballs were fired again.

Boom ——!!

The walking fish in front of the other players exploded, croaking and screaming in flames.

"-Good you North Star, you don't help me!"

Covered in blood, the doghead was being chased and slashed by two walking fish with rusty kitchen knives.

Seeing his miserable appearance, Su Keying couldn't help but sneer.

"-Aren't you very energetic, he doesn't want to rob you."

Table tennis! Syllable!

The centaur had already put away his rage and took out the spoonful of the artifact, which seemed to be carrying a "shovel" in his hand as it grew larger. He swung a spoon and smashed it on the heads of the two walking fish, which rang out.

It seems that this strange thing has a power bonus, and the walking fish can't stand it after a few hits, and the big fish's head is smashed to pieces, and it soon falls to the ground and dies.

With Polaris joining in strongly, the Walking Fish was quickly killed.

The free-handed crowd rushed to the side of the dog-headed gold and helped him slaughter the two walking fish, and the waterhole fell silent again.

Strange corpses were left behind, surrounded by a disgusting smell of fishy and burnt.

"Whew...... NND, almost slaughtered by two experience monsters. ”

Goutoujin sat on the ground, wiping his sweat, but his hands were stained with blood.

He hissed, and then screamed in pain.

"The pain of this game is so real, I turned it to the lowest, and I still can't stand it."

Polaris turned his head to look around and found the walking fish carcass on the ground, which began to slowly disintegrate, and then sank into fine particles and melted into the ground.

Strange remnants were left in place, with scales, teeth, internal organs, and some unrecognizable flesh and blood.

Soon, however, the remnants began to become illusory, and several slowly vanished.

"Quick! Pick up the loot, these things have a time limit! ”

The centaur noticed the detail, too, and he reminded.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly ran over and bent down on the ground to pick up the residue.

*

*

*

The picture fluctuates.

Under the statue by the lake, Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, and was carrying a piece of gill tissue in his hand.

【Extraordinary Material - Walking Gills】

Item description: Gill-shaped tissues containing a hint of deep-sea power, resembling the underwater breathing organs of fish-like beings, used for potion refining, trick forging, and other supernatural concoction rituals.

"Hmmm......"

Chen Lun put away the extraordinary materials in his hand and groaned.

"The loot of the players in 'Wonderland', I seem to have absolute dominance......

He looked at the lake again.

The Polaris Five are cleaning up the remnants of the walking fish on the edge of the waterhole, moving quickly, like a few hard-working old farmers.

"Try it again."

Chen Lun focused his attention on a piece of kidney at the golden feet of the dog's head, and suddenly it began to become illusory.

Goutoujin looked down, and his face changed greatly.

"Don't go!"

He lunged forward, reaching for the kidney, which was almost the size of a baby's palm.

Syllable!

Goutoujin withdrew his hand, spread it out, and only grabbed a handful of sand on the ground.

"Blanch!!"

His hands trembled, and the sand shook all over, but he didn't realize it, and his face twisted into a ball, revealing a mask of pain.

"Goose dripping kidney!!"

The others trembled when they heard his wail, and the movements of their hands quickened, for fear that the booty on the ground would disappear.

Lakeside.

Chen Lun shrugged his shoulders and put away the kidney-like transcendent material in his hand.

"That's exactly ......"

He then looked at the lake again, his eyes fixed and his expression serious.

"In that case, you're welcome."

The five of Polaris stiffened together, their faces suddenly showing horror.

The worst fears have happened, the remnants of the ground are disappearing fast!

"Quick! Hurry up! ”

They no longer cared how dirty the ground was, and threw themselves at the remnants, and the sand flew sideways, and they instantly turned from "old farmers in the fields" to "dancers at the head of the village".

Soon, there was nothing left on the edge of the waterhole.

In the final "rescue stage", each of the five players got an average of one or two extraordinary materials, which made them feel a little better.

"Bah, ......!"

Doghead Jin spit out the sand from his mouth, and his face showed a palpitation.

"It's good that the action is fast enough, otherwise it would be gone!"

Polaris counted his gains, took a deep breath, looked at the others and said:

"We only have a few minutes left, let's go for another wave at the end."

Everyone turned their heads to look at the dilapidated wooden box on the small piece of land in the middle of the waterhole, and their eyes were fiery.

"Try! We can get the best, and if we can't, we have gained something. ”

The centaur said, holding up the two scales in his hand.

"And the experience points of killing monsters are enough to upgrade a few levels."

Su Keying nodded and pointed to the edge of the pool.

"Then let's follow the way we just did, disperse our positions, and go into the water together."

"Beware of the creatures underneath the water, whether it's the 'walking fish' just now, or the giant monster that dragged me down before, it's all dangerous."

Polaris admonished.

The others nodded, then dispersed and stood by the waterhole.

The centaur counted down to three times in the public chat, and then sent a message-

"Action!"

Thump!

Crash!!

After the player five fall overboard, they swim straight towards the dilapidated wooden box.

They were vigilant, with a strong sense of uneasiness in their hearts, the waterhole felt too strange for them, and after the death of Polaris and the attack of the walking fish just now, no one knew what would happen in the next second.

The water in the pool is muddy, giving people a feeling of being covered with dirt, and as long as you think that there are strange creatures in the water, the whole person is not good.

I just feel hairy in my heart.

Crash......!

At this time, the dog head gold not far away suddenly looked stunned, slapped the water splash twice in his hand, and then grunted, drilled down, and disappeared into the water.

"-Damn, I'm going to die first...... Just like Polaris said, there's a huge tentacle dragging me away, you guys hurry up! ”

The kobold blonde sent a text message.

He has run out of resurrections and can't go online.

Wait for the next meeting, it is estimated that we will have to wait until after the open beta.

The others saw the "last words" of the doghead gold, tacitly sped up their speed, and swam forward desperately.

Crash!

"It's coming for me!"

The centaur's face changed suddenly, and he felt the ripples under the water.

"You guys swim quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person sank and disappeared without a trace.

Only ripples on the surface of the water remained.

The remaining three gritted their teeth and swam forward, and soon reached the central area of the waterhole, where the land was close at hand!

Crash!!

There was a violent shock, Polaris and Su Keying turned their heads to look, and the whole person flew into the sky.

"Ahh

Forgotten Mowgli himself was startled and couldn't help but shout.

Then a bucket-thick blue-gray tentacle burst out of the water, capturing the forgotten Mowgli who was still in the air, curling around his body and pulling it down violently.

Rumble!

The water splashed everywhere, as if it had rained lightly.

Su Keying turned her head to look and found that Polaris had climbed up the small piece of land in front of her without looking back, and had already gone to the side of the dilapidated wooden box.

"-Well done! Polaris! You did it! ”

Su Keying sent a message.

But the next moment, she noticed that Polaris's face changed.

"—what's wrong?"

Polaris struggled to crack the old wooden box, but the latter did not move.

"—There are locks! Can't open! ”

He pulled out a knife and pry it twice, before giving up.

He sat on the ground, smashed the lid of the wooden box a few times with his fist, and waited on the spot to die.

Su Keying's smile faded away.

A huge force struck, and before she could shout, the whole person stepped into the footsteps of the three centaurs.

Polaris calmly watched Su Keying sink into the water and sighed.

"It's still too low......"

He sighed with emotion, and watched as the seven or eight giant tentacles that appeared around him slammed towards him.

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Mo ......"

Smack!

Before Polaris died, he took one last regretful look at the treasure chest, but he was puzzled that the dilapidated wooden treasure chest had begun to become illusory.

Why?

With a question, he turned into a white light.

Safe area by the lake.

Chen Lun spread his legs and sat under the statue, and a wooden treasure chest appeared at his feet. He reached out and touched the lid, and his mouth slurped.

"Don't poke, needle doesn't poke ......"

He only tentatively focused his attention on the treasure chest next to Polaris, but he didn't expect to be able to take it over.

"So this box has been judged to be the trophy of the North Star? It's just that he can't take it away...... That's mine. ”

Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction.

He didn't swallow all the extraordinary materials by the waterhole before, but he still showed mercy to his subordinates and let go of about a third of them to the five players.

To be a man, you can't be too selfish, you can't be too short-sighted, and you must know how to cultivate reasonably. Think of it as watering the five beta players so they can thrive in the future.

The treasure chest in front of them is the first reward they gave themselves.

"I have one more thing to get done before I unbox......"

Chen Lun stood up and walked to the lake.

Looking at the picture of the lake gradually disappearing, the waterhole, and the huge tentacles that stretched out.

Eyes are deep.

*

*

*

Fairyland.

Grey Forest.

The small pool was like a stagnant water, and the black-haired young man slowly walked to the edge of the pool.

"This is it, that giant polluted creature that looks like an octopus...... Hidden in a pool. ”

Chen Lun looked at the surface of the water and thought to himself.

Rumble!

A pair of black wings appeared behind him, flapping, carrying him off the ground and slowly flying over the waterhole.

Chen Lun's eyes trembled, and instantly turned into snake pupils, and a chaotic mist filled the surface.

In his field of vision, the waterhole turned black, and there were shimmering orange-red dots of light hidden underneath, and one of them was the largest.

Crash!

A huge blue-gray tentacle burst out of the water, bringing countless splashes.

The tentacles are covered with suction cups, and in the middle of each suction cup, there is a barbed fang, which looks terrifying.

Chen Lun's face was expressionless and kicked out.

Rumble!!

As if the tentacles had been struck by a battering ram, they bounced off with a loud bang, and then fell back into the water with a bang, setting off huge waves.

"A transcendent creature whose name is 'Gon', tainted by the mysterious power of the [Deep Sea Faction]...... The strength is about the level of [Sequence 8], but it is much stronger than the average [Sequence 8] transcendent. ”

Through the peep eye, Chen Lun learned some information about the octopus monster.

After this octopus monster's temptation was rudely cracked by Chen Lun, it seemed to arouse its anger, and the next moment, the waterhole trembled, and four or five tentacles flew out in unison, whipping towards Chen Lun in mid-air.

Click! Click...... Syllable!

The silver cane in Chen Lun's hand disintegrated on its own, and sparks burst into a long silver whip. Immediately after, the leather gloves erupted in flames, staining the silver whip with a layer of burning fire.

Boom! Bang Bang!!

A few silver rays of light accompanied by high temperatures collided with the flying giants, making an explosion.

The stout tentacles snapped, the flesh of the broken wound blurred, smashed by the spikes and blades of the silver whip. The broken tentacles burned with extraordinary flames, falling into the water with a thud, and even though the flames were not extinguished, they continued to scorch it, causing violent bubbles to bubble up on the surface of the water.

Several blood-stained tentacles swung wildly, causing a splash of water, and in an instant, a huge spherical head emerged from the water.

The surface of the blue-gray octopus head has a blue ring pattern, and two pitch-black horizontal eyes are staring directly at Chen Lun.

A deep sense of madness and a desire to kill came to his face.

"You want to kill me?"

A smile appeared on Chen Lun's face, dark golden scales slowly covered his face, and he raised the flame silver whip in his hand and pulled it down fiercely.

"Then let's try it!"

Whew——!!

In a flash of silver, the octopus monster was too large to dodge at all, so it could only raise another intact tentacle to resist.

Syllable!!

With a loud bang, its tentacles snapped again.

Ang ——!!

The octopus monster let out a strange cry, and the whole small waterhole rippled.

Call!

The black wings behind Chen Lun fanned, and the whole person swooped down, and the silver whip in his hand was withdrawn, turning into a thin sword, and the flames burned on it.

- Poof!!

A large round mouth suddenly bloomed on the top of the octopus's head, and dense sawtooth teeth wriggled inside, and a thick black mist erupted.

Chen Lun's figure was suddenly submerged by this black mist.

As the black mist spread, the dirt and weeds on the edge of the waterhole were contaminated, and they instantly turned black and rotten, and then disintegrated, as if the black mist contained extremely strong transcendent toxins.

Call!

The black mist dispersed, and a figure suddenly appeared, raising the silver sword in his hand and slashing it down.

"This level of toxin, but I can't help ......"

Chen Lun grinned, the silver sword on fire had already sliced through the octopus monster's head.

The silver sword was like a tough piece of leather, and a thick dark green slurry burst out, and it was immediately scorched by the flames.

Ang ——!!

The octopus monster struggled wildly, and the entire waterhole trembled like a few depth charges, and the water splashed into the sky and rained lightly.

Immediately afterward, it dived sharply, seemingly preparing to flee for its life.

Chen Lun's black wings fanned, and he swooped down with a silver sword, and burrowed into the water with a bang.

Under the muddy water, three cracks appeared on both sides of his cheeks, and fine bubbles bubbled up when they were gently fanned.

【Gills】!

As a man with the ability to fight amphibious operations on land, sea and air, the octopus monster wants to dive and slip away in front of him, it will not work at all!

In the dark and cloudy vision, Chen Lun stared at the huge red silhouette in front of him and chased after him.

Several walking fish, which he had seen before on the surface of the lake, swam past him and were caught by him. The walking fish struggled in his hand, but it couldn't shake the pincer-like palm in the slightest.

Gala ......!

The ring on his finger bloomed with a demonic red light, and in an instant, the walking fish's body twisted, and was rolled into a cloud of blood mist, which was inhaled into the ring of blood poetry.

[Kill the polluted creature "Walking Fish" and gain 10 experience points!] 】

A flush flashed on Chen Lun's face, and the snake pupils were even more radiant.

Through the power of the Blood Poetry Ring, he devoured the Walking Fish and recovered some of his physical and spiritual consumption.

"It seems that because there is too much difference in level, it has already generated a benefit penalty......"

Chen Lun noticed the prompt box and thought to himself.

He stepped on his feet, and a ring-shaped bubble was released, and he quickly picked up speed and chased forward.

In the process, he repeated his old trick and caught the walking fish that passed by and "eaten" them, so that the other walking fish panicked and fled in all directions.

Whether it is the octopus monster or the strange creature chasing it behind, it exudes a terrifying aura, and the walking fish dare not get any closer and hide far away.

Soon, Chen Lun gradually caught up with the octopus monster, and at the same time, the two had already come to the depths of the pool, and there was no light around them, and it was pitch black.

This made Chen Lun feel a little surprised, because he didn't expect that a small waterhole would be bottomless.

But when I think about it, in this grotesque "wonderland", it seems that anything is possible.

Syllable!

Chen Lun smiled, his big hand already buckled into the flesh of the octopus monster.

[You used the skill [Animal Imitation LVMAX+2] to learn the corresponding trait from the target]

【Abyssal Touch】

Description: Your body can be partially tentacilated, and will briefly become superbly flexible, highly active, and capable of grabbing and breathing underwater!

This is Chen Lun's reward for the first ring of the main quest, and after adding that 1 blessing point to [Nature's Favor], the exclusive skill of [Beast Tamer] has been improved again, and the memory grid of [Animal Imitation] has increased the number of extraordinary characteristics that can be accommodated.

Chen Lun removed the [gills] and saved the [Abyss Touch].

In the next second, the three cracks on his cheeks dissipated, and in their place, two azure blue ring-shaped patterns emerged, wriggling, giving Chen Lun the ability to breathe underwater.

All this was expected by him.

"This trait is great...... what kind of wonderful changes will there be with [Abyssal Touch] and [Snake Body Incarnation]......"
