Zhang Tianyuan finally felt relieved after returning to the main base.
The skeleton lying outside by the door is human bones.
The other person must have wanted to enter his base in his last moments, but unfortunately, he wasn't home...
Although the main base leaks, it is overall the safest fortress for players on their territory.
Because this is the central control room of the entire territory, no one else may enter the base without the lord's permission.
This restriction has no time limit; theoretically, a lord can store enough food to hide in his base and refuse to surrender.
Of course, given that the main base is not waterproof, this method can only provide temporary shelter.
He drew back the curtains and stared Zhang Tianyuan outside through the glass.
There must be something outside.
An unusually thick fog enveloped the land, and a hissing, hoarse sound drifted into the house. Slender, eerie shadows could be vaguely seen moving outside, without footsteps; their movements could only be discerned from the rolling, flowing gray-white fog.
Zhang Tianyuan turned around and rummaged through the equipment box he had brought back earlier. He quickly took out a set of gas protective clothing and put it on, as well as a device for real-time detection of toxic gases.
I slightly opened the window, collected a sample of the fog for testing, and the results came back quickly.
No excessive amounts of toxic components were found in the gas.
Zhang Tianyuan felt somewhat relieved.
At least it's not poisonous fog outside.
Back in the equipment box, Zhang Tianyuan changed his equipment.
This time, he switched to infrared tactical goggles.
After putting on this thing, the world outside suddenly looked different.
The eerie shadows that lurked in the mist have revealed their true forms!
They stand tall, their bodies robust, like "S" shapes standing on the ground. With each step forward, they twist their bodies from side to side, causing the surrounding mist to surge.
These are clearly snakes!
Giant snake!
One, two, three...
There were at least a dozen in Zhang Tianyuan's field of vision alone!
Some of them were walking, some were intertwined on the ground, and some were lying quietly.
Moreover, in the damp, cold fog, the astonishing size of these giant snakes was clearly visible!
The larger ones, just the part of their heads that they raised was taller than Zhang Tianyuan, and their bodies were as thick as water vats, probably too big for one person to hug.
Even the smaller ones are giant snakes, a rarity in the real world.
Has this place turned into a snake pit?
After walking around the windows of the base, Zhang Tianyuan realized that his little island really had turned into a snake's den.
Everywhere you look, there are snakes.
In some places, the infrared signatures of a large number of giant snakes were intertwined, making it impossible to distinguish how many there were.
However, Zhang Tianyuan estimated that there were at least two hundred.
He even saw a truly gigantic snake.
A giant snake, resembling a mountain, was coiled on the distant beach. It was surrounded by infrared radiation, and snakes of all sizes gathered nearby.
That behemoth was clearly the leader of this group of monsters.
These snakes are strange.
Zhang Tianyuan walked back to the center console.
Open the page to view the messages published by the system.
Besides several technological breakthroughs, there was also some information unlocked regarding airspace and sea areas.
Soon a related piece of news surfaced --
[The fourth batch of monsters has randomly spawned. Defeating them will yield generous rewards. The monsters vary in strength and characteristics, so please be prepared.]
Zhang Tianyuan suddenly realized.
The appearance of these monsters is indeed related to the game mechanics.
The skeleton at the entrance was probably one of the people who landed on the island after the newbie protection announcement, and then these giant serpent monsters descended from the sky and ate him or them as snacks.
Looking at the giant behemoth on the beach outside.
Zhang Tianyuan took out his usual rocket launcher, loaded it, opened the window, aimed, and quickly pulled the trigger.
The next second, a short burst of flame shot from the tail of the rocket launcher, heating up the air inside the chamber, while the warhead, propelled by the burning propellant, flew rapidly toward the beach.
boom!
Less than a second.
In Zhang Tianyuan's infrared field of vision.
The rocket accurately hit the massive, coiled-up mountain.
The temperature in that area is rising rapidly.
The giant snakes' infrared signature was temporarily masked, preventing Zhang Tianyuan from discerning the effects of the attack. Xxs-2
But the next second, a huge roar came from the direction of the beach, and giant snakes from other directions quickly swam towards the behemoth.
Zhang Tianyuan closed the window again and waited quietly for the result.
Suddenly, he remembered something and opened the system panel.
[Congratulations on defeating the Level 1 Sea of Mist Snake - 1, you have gained 10,000 Base Energy]
Congratulations on killing the Level 1 Sea of Mist Snake! You have gained 10,000 base energy and 1 ton of food.
[congratulations...]
According to Zhang Tianyuan's count, the rocket just now killed a total of five Level 1 Sea of Mist Snake, which are the giant serpents that were entrenched outside.
A total of 50,000 units of energy and 2 tons of grain were obtained from the base.
Just then, another message arrived.
[Congratulations on defeating the Level 2 Sea of Mist Snake, you have obtained 50,000 Base Energy and a Level 2 Barracks Blueprint.]
Well, there are still some that aren't quite dead yet.
In addition, the source of the architectural drawings is now known.
It turns out it was dropped by monsters.
Looking back at the beach, the ambient temperature had already dropped.
In the infrared image, a large number of Sea of Mist Snake surrounded the colossal leader, completely intertwined and woven into a web, while hundreds of giant snakes indiscriminately hissed warnings to those around them.
This indicates that these Sea of Mist Snake have not found anything to attack them.
This indirectly also illustrates their low intelligence.
Asking them to understand what a rocket is might indeed be a bit difficult.
Zhang Tianyuan opened the window, loaded another rocket, and launched it.
This time, the explosion killed seven level 1 sea serpents and two level 2 sea serpents.
There were no more blueprints, only a dozen tons of useless resources such as grain and timber.
After that first shot, Zhang Tianyuan fired two more.
A total of fifteen sea serpents were killed, the highest of which was level 2, roughly the size of those that could stand taller than Zhang Tianyuan.
There were no level 3 sea serpents at all; this level is likely immune to rocket damage.
The reward was a blueprint for an intermediate-level academy and a fragment of a blueprint for a level 1 hospital.
After four bombings, the Sea of Mist Snake finally came to their senses, no longer sticking together, but wandering around the small island, searching for potential attackers.
The main base in the very center is their primary target.
However, no matter what, they cannot enter the main base.
Even though Zhang Tianyuan had the window open.
Of course, considering that these sea snakes might use saliva to attack, Zhang Tianyuan was not brave enough to open the window and communicate with them.
In less than half a minute, the base was completely surrounded by giant snakes.
The aggressive roars that entered the room made people feel uneasy.
