More and More Adventurers
"Thank goodness, they've finally arrived!" When War Soul King saw the giant hydra blocking the Swift's path, he breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought the plot wouldn't trigger. Just then, more hydras emerged from the sea and surrounded the Swift, bringing it to a sudden stop.
The War Soul King shouted, "Everyone, pay attention! Don't attack those Hydras! Move closer to me and obey my orders!" His men were obedient, watching helplessly as a group of Hydras surrounded the Swift and bombarded it without putting up any resistance. Although the NPC crew members on the ship began to resist, it was clearly futile.
Qiu Fengleng Heart said something, "You won't let us fight? What's this War Soul King up to?" He knew he couldn't defeat these Hydras by himself, so he simply joined them. A group of people crowded in the middle of the ship when they suddenly saw a familiar face. (Hey, isn't that so-and-so from the Heavenly Kingdom Dynasty? What's he doing here?)
Before they could figure out a solution, the ship suddenly tilted to one side. The Swift had been sunk, seawater rushed into the cabin, and the Swift began to sink. In the blink of an eye, all the players were in the water.
Qiu Fengleng thought to himself that it was good he could swim. He was a mage and wasn't wearing armor, so he didn't have to worry about sinking immediately. He looked around and saw that the players from the Glory War Soul seemed to have been prepared. Regardless of their class, they weren't wearing armor and were all splashing around in the water.
Then suddenly, a group of sea monsters swam over from a distance. The War Soul King knew what was going on, so he was not alarmed.
"Don't panic, everyone. These sea monsters will save us. Just let them drag us away."
Sure enough, a sea monster swam up to him, raised its hand, and a beam of white light fell upon him.
Siren's Blessing: You have received the Sirens' Blessing, which allows you to breathe freely underwater. 60 minutes remaining.
This buff, like the Mermaid's Kiss, can ensure that adventurers who fall into the water won't drown, and then the siren dragged the War Soul King along as they swam.
The other players of the Glory War Soul stopped resisting and were dragged away one by one. Qiu Fengleng picked them up and clicked his tongue in amazement. He thought to himself that this trip was not in vain, as he had actually encountered such a strange thing. However, it seemed that this War Soul King had been prepared all along.
Qiu Fengleng thought to himself that he too had been dragged away by a sea monster.
Ten minutes later, the members of the Glory War Soul guild were brought to a beach. Because they had occupied the Wavetreader Camp, the landing point had changed, allowing these adventurers to enter the camp directly.
Xiao Yu stood in the camp, observing this group of trusted adventurers. Although these players were surprised by their encounter, they didn't seem panicked, clearly prepared. Moreover, they all had the guild suffix "[Glory War Soul]" above their heads. Xiao Yu glanced at the assassin named Jing Wuming and immediately understood. It seemed this guy had called his guild members. So, Big Water Cunt's words had worked?
His previous arrangement for Big Water Cunt to leak information was just a casual move, but he didn't expect it to take effect so quickly.
However, the players who weren't from the Glory War Soul Guild were still quite surprised, not expecting such a plot to be triggered here. Qiu Fengleng, in particular, thought to himself, "So this War Soul King came for this camp." He glanced at the surrounding Water Elemental and the players who had arrived earlier and were doing quests, and immediately understood what was going on. This should be a reputation faction that could be gained.
He quickly messaged Weizun Lingxiao and reported what had happened.
Weizun Lingxiao: "What? There's such a thing? I understand. You stay there and continue gathering intelligence. I'll take men over right away. Let's go to the three regiments first."
After speaking, Weizun Lingxiao organized his men to go to the port to board a ship. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the port, they found that they were not the only ones going to board the ship. Two groups of eighty people from the Heavenly Kingdom Dynasty were also waiting at the dock.
Weizun Lingxiao: "Hey, Iron Masked Man? Why aren't you doing dungeons? What are you doing here with people?"
This Iron Masked Man is none other than the guild leader of the Heavenly Kingdom Dynasty Guild, a level 59 high-ranking Warrior has advanced to the Weapon Master.
The Iron Masked Man: "You're here too, so let's not beat around the bush. Since that kid War Soul King, has already gotten the first move, it won't be easy for us to catch up later. So I suggest we join forces."
Weizun Lingxiao nodded, "That would be the best, of course." He said that, but in his heart he was thinking, what a load of rubbish, they'll just end up looking out for themselves. As a ship bound for Kalimdor entered the port, the members of the two guilds immediately and impatiently boarded the ship.
The War Soul King was unaware that his whereabouts had been exposed. He led his men straight to Xiao Yu. The enormous Elemental Lords in front of him was particularly conspicuous, clearly the owner of this camp.
Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Welcome to the Adventurers of Cape of Tides! I am Azathoth, the Water Elemental Lord, King of The Immortals, Lord of Hydra City. To defeat the evil Naga, I have led my Water Elemental army to attack the Lost Island. The place you are in now is the camp we have established."
"I've always had a favorable impression of the Alliance, so after seeing your warship sunk by the Naga's Hydra, I had my sirens rescue you and bring you here. However, my subordinates are clearly unfamiliar with you, so while you can move freely here, we're afraid we can't offer you any further assistance until we've won your friendship."
Xiao Yu recited the same set of platitudes with practiced ease.
"I understand, I understand. Isn't it just about completing a mission first? Tell me, where do we go to kill a few?" War Soul King wasn't as polite as Jing Wuming. In his eyes, an NPC was just an NPC, and a mission was just a mission. He was too lazy to understand the details. For a mission like this, where to kill a few, as long as he knew the objective, that was enough.
Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Wow, this guy is really direct." He wanted to assign tasks straightforwardly, but he couldn't do that. If his identity were discovered, things would get complicated. So he spoke in a serious tone.
Azathoth (Water Elemental Lord): "Although we have achieved one victory, annihilating a Naga force, countless enemies still await us. I need you to kill 20 Naga to prove your worth."
Previously, the quests he posted for killing Naga would specify the type of Naga to be killed. However, after yesterday's battle, all the Naga nearby had been killed, and he didn't have a detailed understanding of the types of Naga in the distance. So he simply decided to kill any Naga, as long as they were Naga. This would make it easier for adventurers to complete the quests.
[System prompt: Quest triggered, 'The Naga Must Die.' Kill 20 Naga on the Lost Island and bring their scales back to Azathoth. Accept? Yes/No.]
[Task Note: This is a shareable task.]
This was also an idea that Xiao Yu came up with; shareable tasks would make it much easier for him to post tasks.
Sure enough, the War Soul King immediately shared the quest within the team, and instantly everyone in the team received it.
The task for three groups of 120 people was assigned in just a few seconds.
(Haha, I'm so clever!) Xiao Yu thought to himself.
This Glory War Soul was clearly more professional. Unlike the previous players who attacked lone Naga patrols piecemeal, this team fought in groups, pulling in large groups of Naga at once. Mages and Warlock unleashed a barrage of wide-area spells, and then Warrior, rogues, assassins, and knights swarmed in to clear the area. Their monster-killing efficiency was exceptionally high, and they completed the first mission in less than half an hour.
Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Wow, these guys are really fierce. My guild sent three raid groups totaling 120 people. Each of them can kill 20 Naga. Once they all complete the quest, they'll have 2400 Naga. And they finished it in just half an hour. Add to that the original players, and clearing out these three Naga camps will be a piece of cake."
While distributing mission rewards, Xiao Yu began to consider whether to put the attack on the other Naga camps on the agenda.
And that's not all. Throughout the rest of the day, two more ships were intercepted by Hydra. These two ships didn't have as many players as the previous ones, but there were still nearly two hundred people on board.
As more and more players entered the camp, Xiao Yu realized that there weren't enough Naga to kill.
