Chapter Seventy-Five: The Poison Gas Mine

The three grooves on this terminal should be the operation port that opens the cave in front of you.

And this cave is the Tek Mine that challenges the final boss Overseer.

In the Ark game, players teleport through a terminal in the Tektronix Mine to reach a space station in the sky of a remote island.

That's where the Overseer is.

The key to unlock the door to the Tektronix Mine is the three heads needed to fill the three differently shaped grooves on the terminal.

They correspond to the three ultimate creatures on the island, and only by killing them and getting their heads and inlaying them in the grooves can they successfully open the gates of the Tek Cave.

While Qin Fei and the others were studying the terminal in front of the Tek Cave, the three arks on the island all began to emit a loud roar.

The whole island shook with it....

[The Red Ark is sinking! 】

[The Blue Ark has been eroded by an unknown existence...]

[For unknown reasons, the Green Ark is decomposing itself!] 】

....

[The main quest is open, and darkness is coming... World Aberration Countdown: 50 Days! 】

[The current number of survivors in all planes is: 4.] 】

[Since 2,381 survivors have died in the Ark World mission before this, all survivors can get an additional 2,381 hours of extra time bonus in this mission!] 】

[The countdown to the island aberration has been corrected to: 149 days!] 】

Qin Fei's pupils constricted.

There are two very important pieces of information that the system has just given.

First of all, there are only four survivors left in all of the current planes.

You must know that in Qin Fei's team, all the team members, including him, are only four people.... In other words, among the survivors who are still alive, there should only be Qin Fei and the four of them left.

Secondly, there are more than 2,000 survivors who have died in this mission in the Ark world.

This shows that the difficulty of this mission is likely to be far greater than that of other worlds....

As mentioned in the previous information given by the system, the mission of the Ark world is the 'main mission world' in all sandbox game worlds.

From this, Qin Fei speculated that the purpose of the system sending these survivors to various game worlds for training was likely to let them complete the tasks of the Ark world.

As for the other worlds that are made up of sandbox games, the purpose is simply to weed out and filter out the better survivors.

Even the previous PVP mode was the same, all about weeding out better survivors.

Whenever a survivor enters the Ark world, once their mission fails and all of them are killed, the system will re-select the next group of survivors and send them into the Ark world again.

Repeat and repeat.

Until someone is able to complete the mission of the Ark World.

And this time, it was just Qin Fei's turn for the four of them.

What secrets does the Ark World hide, as the 'main mission world'?

What is the purpose of the system constantly selecting survivors to enter the Ark world?

Since Qin Fei didn't have much information about the system, he couldn't deduce it yet.

As he pondered, some subtle changes began to appear in the three arks on the isolated island.

At the top of the Blue Ark, part of the color has been mutated at this moment.

This area has changed from its original blue to an eerie dark purple. And these mutated parts are also crawling with some tiny tentacles....

At the top of the Green Ark, a strange decomposition phenomenon is taking place.

The disassembled pieces were reduced to pieces and floated into the sky directly above them. The debris regrouped in the sky.

The shape formed by the accumulation of fragments looks a little like .... The top of a huge cave.

All three arks are changing, but slowly.

According to the quest prompt, this transformation will take about 150 days to complete.

In other words, Qin Fei and the others had one hundred and fifty days to complete the task of defeating the Overseers.

Although one hundred and fifty days may seem like a long time...

But you must know that before Qin Fei and the others came to this world, more than 2,300 people had already died in this mission.

Therefore, every minute and every second now, Qin Fei has to make full use of it.

Without further ado, he planned to immediately go into search of the ten major artifacts hidden in various locations on the island.

At present, in Qin Fei's backpack, there are three artifacts that have been found, and they are Unity, Wisdom, and Hunter. Therefore, Qin Fei only needed to find the remaining seven major artifacts.

They are cunning, God, immunity, devouring, steady, brutal and strong.

In order to clear the mission of this island, the specific order should be: 1. Find the artifact - 2. Kill the three ultimate creatures of the island and get the head - 3. Challenge the Overseer.

Only Qin Fei, who had a foresight of the game content, could come up with a specific plan for clearing the customs in such a short period of time.

If it were for other survivors, it would be likely that the ten major artifacts would not be known, let alone use these magic to summon the ultimate creature and obtain the head.

Perhaps just exploring the entire island and figuring out exactly how to beat the level would have wasted all of their mission time.

If Qin Fei thought about it like this, it was not surprising that more than 2,000 people had died in the mission before.

He then told the rest of the team how he had sorted out the level.

Of course, when he told everyone how to clear the customs, he subconsciously concealed his prophetic awareness of the plots of various worlds.

As for the others asking how Qin Fei knew this....

Qin Fei's explanation was that he had picked up an introduction note about this world in the Ark's drop box before. All he knew was from that note.

At the foot of the solitary volcano, there is an artifact mine.

However, this is a wisdom artifact.

This artifact Qin Fei already possessed, so this mine cave was directly ignored by him.

Qin Fei led everyone from the foot of the volcano to the south, and it didn't take long for him to come to a cave that was the second closest to the volcano.

This is the cave where the immune artifact is placed, and in the Ark game, this is commonly referred to as the Poison Gas Mine.

The Wounded Tooth Dragons in the mangrove forest generally did not appear during the day, so Qin Fei and the others did not encounter any danger along the way.

The one or two velociraptors and bull dragons that I occasionally encountered on the road were quickly eliminated by everyone under the power of various firearms.

The entrance to the Immunity Mine is extremely narrow.

After entering the poison gas cave, Qin Fei saw countless giant dragonflies in the middle of the cave.

Each of these dragonflies is the size of a fist.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is that these dragonflies are extremely numerous.

They are dense and overwhelming, and the mere sound of their wings flapping in the distance already makes people's scalps tingle.

Facing the hundreds of dragonflies in front of them, Qin Fei and the others could only stop.

When the number of these dragonflies increases, they cannot be eliminated with firearms alone.

In Qin Fei's team, except for Xie Nana, who had never experienced the Ark World, everyone else more or less domesticated one or two creatures on the isolated island.

The creatures that Qin Fei tamed were big noses and egg boys.

Caesar domesticated a dire wolf.

And the pulse is followed by a devil frog.

The devil frog, which lives in the swamp, happens to feed on these dragonflies, and it can be said that it is the natural enemy of these dragonflies.

When Pulse saw the giant dragonflies, he offered to use his Devil Frog to clean them up.
