On the map provided by "Nightmare in Paradise", there are black skull patterns all over the Savage Sea and the Thorny Mountains. Yan Xiaocang clicked on one of them, and the skull icon enlarged in the field of vision and turned into a huge all over the place. A black and red spotted lizard with a short description next to it:
Crystal lizard, the gaze can make hot-blooded creatures solidify into rock-like objects. It has high defense. It is recommended for hunters with six stars or above to hunt it.
Yan Xiaocang was startled: "This is the area where hunters with six stars and above can enter. Why did you bring me here?"
Youyou's face sank and she said: "Nanfeng said that because you have been so successful in the recent period, you are very proud and complacent. Let me show you the dangers in Qimeng Paradise. Let you know what you have achieved. The result was purely a fluke.¡±
Yan Xiaocang said with a grimace: "I'm not proud. I know I'm lucky. I don't have to face any danger. Just let me go back."
"Dream!" Youyou said rudely, "Do you think I am willing to take a novice like you around? If Nanfeng hadn't given me a reward of 10 million dream coins to hire me, I wouldn't be too lazy to be a nanny."
Looking at the girl blankly, Yan Xiaocang recalled the scene when he first met her at the Prancing Horse Northwest Supply Station. The girl tried her best to take advantage of him, and her appetite for eating was so big that everyone looked at her with suspicion. At that time, he thought that this girl was a difficult character to take care of, but now he realized that Youyou was already very cute at that time.
What did the late Dr. Chu say? "The powerful mercenary in the Crystal Valley and the Savage Sea, the seven-star battle hunter, and the little demon girl Youyou who is famous for her gluttony, sleepiness and cheapness." To be able to have Dr. Chu speak so highly of you, you can understand with your toes that Youyou is not an easy person to deal with.
"I will give you 10 million dream coins, as long as you let me go back That's okay, right?" Yan Xiaocang begged.
"Of course!" Youyou simply agreed, "I can ask for the money, but as an independent mercenary, we don't have a large mercenary group to rely on. We can only make money based on our reputation and ability"
Yan Xiaocang almost spat out everything he had just eaten and cried loudly: "God, please let me be comatose for another half month"
Youyou packed up her things, ignoring Yan Xiaocang who was in a daze, and walked straight out of the door. When she reached the door, she hurriedly said: "By the way, I will save your Flame Dragon's Fang for you first. Your strength is still there." It's not enough to control it. Don't worry, I will return it to you when I get tired of it." After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Yan Xiaocang's answer.
Yan Xiaocang rummaged through his backpack, and sure enough, the Flame Dragon's Fang was missing.
Yan Xiaocang, who was extremely depressed, walked out of the room and discovered that Nanhai Town was full of low-rise bungalows. He lived in the west corner, and behind the house was a meandering river. The river water is very clear, and the colorful pebbles and leisurely fish are clearly visible. Perhaps because it was lunch time, the town was quiet, with only the smoke rising from the windows showing signs of human life.
These houses all have pointed roofs. It seems that Nanhai Town is a rainy place. The architectural styles of the houses vary. Some have blue bricks and gray tiles, which are very similar to Yan Xiaocang's hometown in the countryside; some have colorful broken glass decorating the windows, similar to the churches on TV; some have all-wood structures. , sprayed with bright paint.
The architecture of the houses is not planned, making the whole town appear disorganized, but overall it gives people a sense of peace and tranquility. The warm sunshine shone on his body, and the slightly fishy but refreshing breeze blew by, making Yan Xiaocang's mood slowly calm down.
Is this really an area where monsters with six stars and above are rampant?
On the other side of the river are towering peaks, their emerald green shadows reflected in the turquoise water, and occasionally the shadow of a bird passing by. Walking north along the river, the thunderous sound became louder and louder. After turning a headland, our eyes suddenly opened up.
The light blue water rushes towards you, and the thunder is the sound of the river entering the sea and the waves crashing on the rocks on the shore. In the distance, the white sandy beach stretches under the turquoise peaks, and the light blue water forms an image that even the most skilled photographers cannot capture.
Several white seagulls spread their broad wings and soared freely between the sea and the sky. A small boat floated on the sea, with a man sitting on the bow. His appearance was unclear from a distance, but he was waving the long pole in his hand, and he was actually on the sea. Go fishing.
It was the first time Yan Xiaocang saw the sea. The majestic and endless sight made him have the urge to worship. In front of this vast scene unique to nature, he couldn't help but feel that his worries and sorrows became insignificant.
After watching it for a long time, the fishermen on the small boat swing again and again, and returned again and again.??Envy.
"Suosuo, the scenery here is so beautiful." This sentence slipped out of the young man's mouth completely unconsciously.
Immediately, a feeling of relief came over me.
The young man who experienced the feeling of lovesickness did not notice too many details. He did not realize that the fishermen on the boat were not free and easy. Although it was not unusual for the boat to be pushed by the waves and gradually move closer to the shore, it was not normal for the boat to gradually move closer to the shore in a straight line at the same speed. .
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As the fish rolled in the air, some liquid spilled from the wound.
Yan Xiaocang, who was silent in his memories, did not notice that the boat was getting closer and closer to him. Suddenly, a feeling of being stared at by a wild beast in the middle of the night enveloped his heart. He suddenly looked up, and the sight in front of him frightened him.
When we first arrived, it sounded like the waves were loud, but it was actually just the rhythmic movement of the sea water. To people at the beach, it was the calmest scene. At this moment, the sound of the waves did not increase at all, but a huge wave rose silently on the sea a few hundred meters away.
The tide, which is hundreds of meters high, is rolling, splashing with water, and rushing towards the coast.
Having experienced the human disaster at the end of the century, Yan Xiaocang, no matter how ignorant he was, had also seen the photos and materials of the Indonesian tsunami, and he still had fresh memories of the waves that swept over like a city wall. According to the power of this wave, it will not weaken when it reaches the seaside. At that time, I am afraid that the entire Nanhai Town will be destroyed.
No matter how powerful the hunters are, they cannot compete with nature. The highest level of magic almost always calls upon natural forces, which is enough to prove this.
As soon as Yan Xiaocang recovered from the shock, he wanted to go back to the town to call the police, but then he realized that his legs were weak.
¡°Maybe it¡¯s out of unknown terror that this kind of problem arises that shouldn¡¯t happen to hunters. On the Prancing Horse Plains, he encountered the "raging storm" cast by Dr. Chu. It was also a magic of natural power, but because Yan Xiaocang understood the situation of magic, he didn't panic at all. But it was the first time he came into contact with the sea and the first time he saw the angry sea. Facing the huge waves, his reaction was no different from that of an ordinary person.
The fisherman¡¯s boat had not yet reached the shore and was the first to bear the brunt. The huge waves had not yet arrived, pushing the sea water and throwing the boat up. The boat, which was only a few meters long, was like a small leaf, shivering in the strong wind.
Seeing that the fisherman was about to face a literal "catastrophe", things took an unexpected turn for the better. The small boat suddenly left the water for some unknown reason and stood upright.
Yan Xiaocang took a closer look and discovered that the boat was in the hands of the fisherman, facing the waves, while the fisherman himself was standing on the water.
What is he doing? Yan Xiaocang was very strange. For a moment, he couldn't remember what it meant to be afraid and nervous. He stared closely at the fisherman's actions.
The originally peaceful environment on the beach was completely destroyed by the sudden waves. The pressure brought by the waves made Yan Xiaocang, who was far away on the shore, feel chills in his heart and his legs trembled. He thought about the fisherman in front of the waves. I don¡¯t know what the situation is like?
The waves were pressing towards the boat, and the boat was pressed hard on the sea. Then, following the water, the boat flipped over the waves.
"Okay!" The thrilling and wonderful action made Yan Xiaocang scream in his heart. But the waves that immediately hit the fisherman also made him realize that his situation was not good, and he immediately shouted in his heart: "It's not good".
Seeing that the "catastrophe" was about to be reflected on himself, Yan Xiaocang calculated several methods in his mind, but he was not sure that he could safely avoid the wall of water pressing down like a mountain.
"SuosuoMomcould it be said that I will leave you like this? Will I never see you again?" Yan Xiaocang's face was pale, and in his eyes was the wall of water getting closer and closer.
It was at this moment that things took a turn for the better again. Alpha particles began to flow in the air, and the flow was extremely fast. Before Yan Xiaocang could react, a wave of hot air came from behind his ears.
Immediately, a huge fireball flew out from behind his head, in the direction of the wall of water that was getting closer and closer to them.
At the same time, not far away from them, more alpha particles were gathering. Various energies oscillated together, gradually adjusted to the same frequency, and rushed towards the water wall faster than a fireball. past.
These things happened in just a moment. Yan Xiaocang felt dizzy before he could figure it out.Whatever happened, it was over.
The wall of water did not fall towards the beach, it just stayed still on the sea. Yan Xiaocang blinked. What happened at this moment made his mind unable to turn around. It was like sleepwalking. He thought he was dazzled or had some illusion.
After taking a closer look, Yan Xiaocang discovered that the original water wall had now turned into an ice wall tens of meters high and nearly a hundred meters long. The midday sun shone on it, glowing with colorful brilliance. A huge shadow is faintly visible in the ice wall, but it cannot be clearly seen.
The fireball that flew out from behind Yan Xiaocang's head just penetrated a large hole about a person's height in the ice wall. The hole was very deep. Looking in from a distance from the entrance of the hole, it was dark.
Yan Xiaocang doesn¡¯t know how the fireball and the ice of the water were formed, and he doesn¡¯t know which one is in front and which one is behind. He only knows that the result now is that his crisis has been resolved.
The water wall turned into ice and would no longer destroy him. The fireball punched a hole in the ice wall, but that hole had nothing to do with him.
Yan Xiaocang took a deep breath and patted his chest. His heart that almost jumped out of his throat just now finally fell back to its original place.
Yan Xiaocang looked around, and he felt the strong wave of alpha particles just now. It's just strange that such a peaceful small village, why would such a powerful force suddenly appear?
It can condense so much water into ice cubes in an instant, which is not something that ordinary power can accomplish. According to Yan Xiaocang's estimation, even Dr. Chu, an eight-star hunter, couldn't do it.
What if we say we are not alone? How many high-star monk hunters are needed to unite to emit such powerful magic? Yan Xiaocang looked at this inconspicuous town and thought to himself: "Sure enough, the more inconspicuous the place, the more hidden dragons and crouching tigers there are."
It¡¯s just that they come to this place? What's the purpose? Monk hunters only account for 15% of the total number in Qimeng Paradise. What is there in the water that is worthy of bringing together several high-level monk hunters to use such powerful magic?
"Crack" A crackling sound came from the ice, interrupting Yan Xiaocang's random thoughts.
Yan Xiaocang looked towards the ice wall in search of sound. It was no different from just now. Could it be that it was an illusion? But soon, the changes on the ice overturned his suspicion just now.
"Crack" A louder and denser sound came from the ice. There was a crack at first near the hole made by the fireball, and then, the cracks quickly became more and more, like an egg being gradually cracked open, and before long, the entire ice block would shatter.
A small boat jumped out from the ice wall. Looking closely, it was the fisherman in the lead. He was holding the boat in his hand. He jumped off the ice wall and landed steadily on the beach.
"No! The turtle-backed plesiosaur is about to break through the ice"
"Hurry and stop it, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
"Lori, I'm going to cut off the queen. You team, be careful. The turtle-backed plesiosaur is not that easy to deal with."
"Big, we are ready to attack from a distance."
Several shouts came from all corners of the town, and the originally quiet town became bustling for a while. A dozen men in heavy armor poured from the town to the beach.
The armor on their bodies is very strange, each is different, but they all have the same thing, that is, it seems to be extremely thick and covers all parts of the body, only a pair of eyes are exposed. However, during the jumping and moving, the thick armor did not have any impact on the flexibility of movement.
The armor on the man who jumped out first seemed to be made of tiny matchsticks, glowing with a light blue light. Holding a staff in his hand, he stood at a distance, guarding against the turtle-backed plesiosaur that was about to break through the ice.
¡° Another man jumped out right behind him. His whole body was wrapped in a wide piece of leather. At first glance, there was no trace of stitching. He also held a staff in his hand, facing the ice body, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? It is indeed a monk hunter. Judging from the light clusters on their staffs, the inlaid alpha crystals are not ordinary.
"Where did you come from, wild boy? Why did you come here to cause trouble?" A stout man wearing a seven-star hunter logo and all black armor glared at Yan Xiaocang angrily when he passed by him. shouted.
Yan Xiaocang was a little stunned. What did he do? He didn't do anything!
"I'll settle the score with you later!" The sturdy man originally wanted to say something, but the exclamations from the people in front gave him only time to throw a threatening sentence at Yan Xiaocang.??, he hurried towards the ice wall.
"Wow" The accumulated clicking sounds finally combined into a loud noise, and the entire ice block turned into many small ice blocks, sliding and collapsing in all directions.
On the top of the ice, some ice blocks were knocked away and scattered in all directions. Then a pointed head shook the ice shards above its head and emerged from the broken ice wall.
