Chapter 142: Sudden Change
Chapter 142: Sudden Change
The three of them ran all the way to the far left end of the shipwreck’s lowest level.
At the end was a wide Great Hall, four or five times larger than the previous cabins.
In the center of the Great Hall, there were five Treasure Chests. Sesshylow stared at one of the Treasure Chests, her face full of anxiety.
But Chen Mo did not let Sesshylow go over. In front of the five Treasure Chests, a blue sea snake as thick as a bucket was coiled.
Upon seeing Chen Mo and the other two enter, the sea snake just lazily glanced at them and showed no intention of attacking them.
A BOSS!
The three exchanged looks. They all knew this giant sea snake was definitely not an elite monster, but a BOSS, a real BOSS!
“What should we do? I feel like we can’t beat it,” Xue Ye Hua frowned.
“You two go out first. Sesshylow and I will give it a try.” Chen Mo also felt it was unlikely they could kill the giant sea snake, but he did not want to give up just like that, especially since inside those five Treasure Chests was something Sesshylow was extremely interested in.
“Alright, be careful.” Xue Ye Hua nodded.
If Chen Mo and Sesshylow together were not a match, adding her and Qing Tian would not help.
After the two left the room, Chen Mo and Sesshylow moved swiftly, charging at the giant sea snake.
“The Damage is too low.”
The giant sea snake’s body was long and large, so Chen Mo and Sesshylow’s attacks easily hit it.
Chen Mo’s equipment was average at the time. Although his One Generation Master title had decent Attributes, he could only deal about fifty points of Damage.
Sesshylow was better, but her Damage was only a little over two hundred points. The giant sea snake’s Level and Defense were too high.
But what Chen Mo found strange was that even after being attacked, the giant sea snake still paid little attention to them. It only occasionally swung its massive tail to drive away the two who tried to get close.
“Let’s join in too.”
Although they did not understand what was happening, after watching for a short while, Xue Ye Hua and Qing Tian also joined the fight.
It was four against one, but the giant sea snake still showed no intention of attacking the four, allowing them to attack while its Health Points did not decrease much.
“It seems we really can’t beat it,” Qing Tian said weakly. The sea snake simply did not want to pay attention to them, like it was dealing with mosquitoes bothering its rest.
“Let’s keep fighting. If it doesn’t fight back, we’ll eventually kill it.” Chen Mo also knew this giant sea snake was definitely a monster beyond their Level and Attributes. He used a Scouting Skill on it, but all he got was a panel full of ???, and he could not even see the monster’s name.
But Chen Mo was reluctant to give up. The more powerful the monster, the more valuable the Treasure Chests it guarded. And there were five Treasure Chests! If they could kill the giant sea snake, they would surely strike it rich.
Should he switch to the Heinous Crime Title?
Chen Mo could not help but think about it, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
The giant sea snake’s Level was too high; the chance of the Power of Annihilation taking effect was almost impossible.
After fighting for a while longer, the giant sea snake’s Health Points still did not seem to move much, and Chen Mo began to consider giving up.
Continuing like this, the hope of killing the giant sea snake was too slim.
But then, another group of Players rushed into the Great Hall from outside.
“So many Treasure Chests! And a BOSS!”
“Kill!”
Without a second word, the group joined the battle.
“This BOSS is so powerful!”
Then, this group also realized the absurdity of the giant sea snake.
Originally, they planned to join the fight and kill the three who had entered first once the BOSS’s Health Points were low enough. But after seeing the giant sea snake’s Health Points, they abandoned that idea.
If they had to fight it themselves, who knew how long it would take.
However, with this group of Players joining, the giant sea snake’s Health Points finally dropped noticeably.
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed, and the giant sea snake lost 15% of its Health Points just lying there.
Then, two more groups of Players walked in. After being shocked to see the giant sea snake and the Treasure Chests, they also joined the fight.
More and more Player teams joined, and within half an hour, there were over a hundred Players in the Great Hall.
“Hey, the BOSS’s Health Points are plummeting!”
Suddenly, someone shouted.
The giant sea snake’s Health Points were originally frighteningly long, but with over a hundred people attacking together, its Health Points suddenly began to drop sharply. In no time, it went from 70% to 50%, and soon to 30%!
20%!
10%!
7%!
…
In less than ten minutes, the giant sea snake’s Health Points dropped from 70% to 7%. Even when its Health Points fell below 10%, it did not undergo any changes.
“This giant sea snake is strange. You all need to be careful,” Chen Mo frowned and warned.
It was too abnormal. From start to finish, the giant sea snake never seriously attacked the Players; it was practically lying there letting them attack!
“Kill!”
“Be careful!”
When the giant sea snake’s Health Points dropped below 5%, the over hundred Players around began attacking nearby Players almost simultaneously!
The BOSS and Treasure Chests were too tempting; everyone wanted to have them all.
Seeing the BOSS’s Health Points drop to 5% without any changes, the more capable teams wanted to kill the other teams to monopolize this huge benefit.
In an instant, the over hundred Players in the Great Hall engaged in chaotic battle. The number of people attacking the BOSS decreased by more than half, and the rate at which the BOSS’s Health Points decreased slowed down.
“Ah, humans.”
A mocking voice sounded in everyone’s ears. The Players who heard it could not help but look toward the source of the voice, and then they all froze.
The giant sea snake was gone. In front of the five Treasure Chests stood a beautiful female NPC with wavy blue hair.
“Human Adventurers, it seems our Sea Clan overestimated you,” the blue-haired female NPC shook her head, looking disappointed. “Had we known, we wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths to deal with you.”
What’s going on?
Is there a Quest?
Many Players in the Great Hall did not understand what was happening.
Only Chen Mo, who knew some background about the Game World, felt a thump in his heart upon hearing the blue-haired female NPC’s words. He knew there might be trouble.
“Retreat!” Chen Mo whispered to Xue Ye Hua and the other.
“This is a warning. Unless you humans join our Sea Clan, you will face continuous attacks from the Sea Clan whenever you try to operate at sea!” the blue-haired female NPC said calmly, then waved her hand.
Boom!
The wall at the end of the Great Hall suddenly burst open with a loud crash, and countless torrents of seawater surged in violently!
Boom! Boom!
Under the vast and turbulent seawater, the Players were as insignificant as ants, completely unable to resist, and were swept out of the Great Hall by the waves!
Seawater poured in frantically, and the entire Shipwreck quickly sank downward. Soon, every space inside the ship was completely flooded.
Moreover, all Players inside the ship found that they could not leave the Shipwreck and could only wait for death inside.
Three minutes passed, and the Health Points of many Players began to drop sharply one after another. Players started dying.
There were over ten thousand Players from Eastern Sea City inside the Shipwreck, and almost all of them died collectively.
However, no Players collectively resurrected at the Resurrection Points in Eastern Sea City.
Players who died in the Shipwreck discovered they were afflicted with a special status effect, requiring them to wait six hours before choosing Resurrection!
At the same time, a large number of sea creatures appeared along the coastline of Eastern Sea City.
“Monster Siege!” The Players who were still leveling along the coastline fled in terror.
Monster Siege!
The news exploded instantly on the Forum!
But Players on the Forum discovered that not only had Eastern Sea City experienced a Monster Siege, but large numbers of monsters had also appeared in the wilderness outside Shadow City and Stormwind City!
The Three Major Cities were simultaneously attacked by hordes of monsters!
Eastern Sea City was hit the hardest. The over ten thousand Players who died in the Shipwreck could not resurrect for six hours after death.
…
Chen Mo did not know that chaos had erupted outside the Shipwreck.
Swept by the seawater, he, Xue Ye Hua, and Qing Tian were forced apart. Xue Ye Hua and the other were washed away to who knows where, but Chen Mo remained not far from the Great Hall.
Other Players were drowning one after another, but Chen Mo had Advanced Swimming Skill, so of course he was fine.
Sesshylow was a Water Elemental Creature, and the surging seawater did not pressure her much. It was also because she held onto Chen Mo that he was not swept away by the seawater outside the Great Hall.
Sesshylow held onto Chen Mo, clearly reluctant to leave the Treasure Chests in the Great Hall.
Chen Mo did not let Sesshylow return to the Great Hall immediately. Instead, he waited a few minutes before sneaking back in.
The Great Hall was empty, but the five Treasure Chests were still there. Seeing them, Chen Mo could not help but feel wild joy in his heart.
Five rare Treasure Chests! All his now
