Abnormal paradise

Although the players in Maple Island City do not yet know that a catastrophe is coming, operations against large insect nests are being carried out one after another. After dividing the territory with Fish Scale Arm and Thunder Duke, the three-person team immediately rushed to the drinking water company. Considering that the food problem of the little praying mantis was solved, they decided to only acquire this large insect nest that was related to the main plot.

The drinking water company is located in the hinterland of the business district. It has a single building. There are no other insect nests nearby, which makes it convenient for the Embers and the three to carry out their offensive operations.

"There are spider webs everywhere. It seems that the Shadow Devouring Insects entrenched here are in the form of spiders. It just so happens that the little mantis has a restraining effect on spiders and can maximize its value!" Yi Yan was a little happy and patted the little guy on his shoulder. During several cooperations, Little Mantis has shown extremely high combat intelligence. It can do whatever Ember comes across. The two are about to reach the point of being connected, which really makes Ember like him very much.

Thinking that this little guy would leave him sooner or later like the blood vine armor, Yi Yan couldn't help but sigh: "I don't want to worry about these annoying things anymore. There is not much time left, so let's clean up the insect nest as soon as possible!"

The drinking water company is a three-story building. There is nothing but spider webs to be seen outside the building door. The three-person team still explores according to the established method. The embers are in front and the non-experts are on the side. They jointly protect Lu Renjia, who has a far field of vision, to explore the insect nest environment. .

"The first floor is mainly the lobby. I only saw one office. There were a lot of ordinary mobs and more than eight elite bosses. There were also four spider bug mothers located in the four corners. One of them was guarding the stairs. I It is recommended to just get rid of it. Killing the other three is a waste of energy. If time permits, you can explore the office by the way. I feel that there may be something related to the main mission hidden there!"

Lu Renjia's suggestion was immediately agreed by Yu Yan and the non-experts. At this juncture, racing against time is the most important thing. The clumsy figure of the spider insect mother makes them incapacitated, and each of them is rough-skinned and thick-bodied. It’s too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In the next three minutes, Yu Yan, Not a Master, Lu Renjia and Little Mantis quickly cleared away all the ordinary mobs and elite spiders that came from the "wind", and successfully entered the office. Lu Renjia, who had the highest perception, immediately Receive game prompts.

[Tip: Excellent perception ability allows you to immediately notice the broken photos on the wall. 】

The higher the perception level, the more helpful it is for game exploration. Lu Renjia relied on this advantage to repeatedly overcome dangers and get out of the trough, and obtained the ticket to the Killing Island.

Everyone immediately looked at the prompt and found that there were many photos hanging on one wall of the office. Judging from this situation, they should be photos taken by important people visiting and coming to the drinking water company. The torn photo in the corner had been torn apart. Most of the time, only a smiling male face was left. But the strange thing was that the man in the photo was clearly smiling brightly, but the more he looked at it, the more creepy he felt. Then he suddenly realized that the other person's eyes were too cold. It's so chilling, it's like it's shining straight into my heart through the photo.

"This smile...I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

The expert said with some uncertainty: "And not only have I seen it, but you have also seen it!"

"Really?" Yi Yan was a little strange, and immediately began to remember seriously, and then suddenly realized, "Yes! We have indeed seen it. This face is actually the white-faced clown who appeared at the end of the CG!"

Yi Yan took off the photo and found that the three words "Water Quality Research Institute" were written on it, which directly corresponded to the water quality research institute mentioned in the suicide note. This also allowed Yi Yi to finally confirm that the reason why Maple Island turned into an abnormal project was It was promoted by the Apostles of Chaos. They pretended to be scientific researchers from the Water Quality Research Institute and gained the trust of the drinking water company, thereby destroying the water source of Maple Island and eventually triggering the Dark Curtain turmoil. As for the Dark Curtain Storm that was raging on the island at this time, it was naturally the work of the Chaos Apostles. .

He believes there may be some missing joints, but the flow is generally the same.

"Then the question is, is everything the Chaos Apostle did simply to create an abnormal island? What role did Anna, who has special abilities, play in the whole incident?" Ember turned his gaze upstairs, only to see Only by piercing this insect nest and completing the main mission can you know Anna's ending and reveal the secrets of the island.

But the Spider Lord is very powerful and difficult to deal with!

"That's not right! Look at the map. Why hasn't the Dark Curtain Storm stopped after so long?"

Lu Renjia's voice made Yi Yan startled. He immediately checked the map of the isolated island and found that there was no sign of stopping the Dark Curtain Storm. At this time, it had already swallowed up the factory area. It would not be long before it reached Maple Island City. Yi Yan calculated that it would take ten minutes at most. , even Maple Island City will be destroyed by the storm. Such an abnormality was not only noticed by the three of them, but also alarmed the internal beta players who had persisted until now. Everyone realized that something was wrong and had to speed up the attack on the large insect nest.

But the problem is that the originally ample strategy time was suddenly shortened by half, which immediately doubled the pressure on the players.

The remaining number of people may barely be able to destroy three large insect nests, but the time left is no longer enough for players to try and make mistakes. When the time of death is approaching, it is difficult to say that the possibility of accidents will not increase, and ultimately lead to failure of the assessment.

"Hiss! It's a bit stressful! It's still very difficult for the three of us to break through the large insect nest. It would be great if Qiu Yinong was here. Her damage is definitely not inferior to that of the dead vines and old trees, and it is easy to deal with defenses. A spider lord with high health and thick blood. Or someone who is not a Sword Immortal. With range skills, the speed of clearing mobs can be increased. Why is it now that these two people are still alive and dead, and there is no broadcast? The other two He is also ranked first in the rankings. It is almost like disappearing from the world, and there is no trace of it until now..."

The ember was still fuming, and happened to receive the full broadcast. However, the content of the broadcast had nothing to do with the above players, but a scheduled broadcast with a countdown of twenty-five minutes.

[Broadcast: Considering that the abnormal activities of Dark Screen on the isolated island have affected the killing operations, we hereby issue assessment rewards in advance to the new personnel who are still fighting on the isolated island as support props. 】

Just now, the president of the university outside the isolated island successfully used space magic to create a one-way portal, breaking the space seal and stably transporting small items.

[Tip: Support props require killing points to be redeemed. If the killing points are less than ten before the end of the assessment, you will not be able to retain all the proceeds from the closed beta unless you are qualified as a guardian knight. Players should seriously consider this. 】

[Tip: The list of supported props is as follows...]

The sudden appearance of the system broadcast surprised Yi Jin, and what surprised him even more was the display content of the prop list.

"Holy shit, an improved version of the basic-level evolution potion, ten points for one bottle? Special bullets, insecticidal venom and other attack props, specifically stated that they can only be used against monsters. Temporary attribute enhancement scrolls, temporary comprehensive enhancement scrolls, In addition, there are strengthening potions that are similar to strengthening scrolls but have more violent effects. Except for the lack of defensive items, there are so many good things! But each one is a bit too expensive! Even if I have twenty-seven point six killing points, They don’t dare to buy at will, let alone others..."

Looking at the list of props, Yan Yan was really greedy, but he didn't rush to spend money to buy them. Instead, he discussed with his two companions to formulate a more reasonable purchase plan.

But before the three of them could come up with a rough idea, a player outside the building called out Ember's name.

"Ember! Come out quickly! Your friend is surrounded by Jiugua people!"

"My friend is surrounded by the Nine Trigrams?"

Yu Jin was a little confused. He didn't have many friends, and most of them were well-known players. How could he be targeted by Jiu Gua? Lu Renjia used his long-range vision to find that the person who reported the message had a familiar face. He had just seen this player in the team with the old tree, and immediately informed Yi Yan of the matter.

"People from old trees with dead vines? That shouldn't be a problem. I'll go out and ask about the situation first, and you guys deal with the mother spider!"

"No, this is a critical moment. I don't know how many eyes are staring at you. You must be on guard. Lu Renjia and I will go with you to have a look."

Seeing that he was not a master, Yan Yan smiled slightly, accepted his teammate's intention, and led the two of them out of the insect nest, immediately hearing the player's anxious words.

"The thing is like this, as the wine got thicker, because I killed Yue Zhaoshui of Jiu Gua, I was targeted by Yue Zhaoshui's girlfriend, the man in the water. If Qifeng Kuyu hadn't spoken for her, I'm afraid she would have been rounded up and killed. , but the people in the water refused to let him go, and there was a stalemate between the two sides. President Kuteng knew that you had formed a team with Gongjiujiang, so he sent me to inform you that the location happened to be at the door of our territory."

"How could I forget this!"

Yi Yan slapped his head, dumbfounded. Ordinarily, the hatred between him and the Jiu Gua Guild was deeper than him. After all, the Huo Ze he killed was the thorn in the guild's anger, while Yue Zhaoshui was a real high-level member of the Jiu Gua Guild. Yi Yan still remembers that it wasn't the Sword Immortal who once reminded him that Yue Zhaoshui had a bad temper and should not be provoked easily. As a result, he was later killed with a crossbow as the wine got thicker. I'm afraid Yue Zhaoshui had already been thinking about how to take revenge. No wonder the people in the water would lead people to surround and kill them.

However, what puzzles Yi Yan is why Qi Feng Ku Yu, who is also a member of Jiu Gua, wants to talk about the wine getting thicker.

It's not a master who reveals the truth: "Everyone has a love for beauty, but the love of the miserable is more common. When you see a beautiful woman, you can't walk."

"So that's it!" Yi Yan suddenly realized, "There's nothing more to say. Save people. Do you want to come with me?"

"certainly!"

For reasons and reasons, Ember has to save the drink. Although it will definitely waste time, having a powerful DPS in the team can actually save a lot of time. Moreover, now that there are more support items, the difficulty of the strategy has been reduced a lot. , so regardless of whether there was a dragon's pond or a tiger's den ahead, he felt that he had to make a breakthrough.

After all, the two of them had already agreed to cooperate and decide the outcome. They haven't cooperated yet. How could Yi Yan want his opponent to be killed by others?

No one can touch my tool before it works!

Even if I play my role as a tool man, only I can move it!

After thinking this way, Yi Yan waved his hand and said to the reporting player.

"Lead the way, brother!"
