Chapter 142 This situation requires the help of the fire-fighting whale.
The players were making a ruckus as they waited for Maggie to climb onto the ship, and the atmosphere, which was originally similar to "The Expendables," completely collapsed.
The Xuanjia tribesmen who came to see them off were completely bewildered, wondering why the adventurers were playing such festive music on such a solemn occasion.
Perhaps—this is also their custom? The elders didn't understand, but chose to respect it.
The players followed Leo onto the ship and headed towards the Land of Vermilion Bird. The closer they got to their destination, the hotter it became.
The outer perimeter of the island.
The heatwave here is almost tangible, and the air itself seems distorted.
Leo and the others' tortoise shells made a crackling sound under the high temperature.
He felt his skin was dry and cracked, and even his vitality was slowly declining.
"Damn it, is it already this difficult before we even see Lord Suzaku? — Is this what we're going to be like? —"
Before Leo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice saying, "It's so hot, so hot!"
"Damn, there's even a high-temperature damage debuff. The environment is too harsh." Dave was already afraid of the heat, and now he couldn't stand it anymore.
He simply pulled out a can of [Extreme Cold Bursting Beads] and poured it into his mouth. A layer of ice instantly formed on his head, which perfectly counteracted the blood loss caused by the high temperature.
"I told you, the food truck's stuff is useful." Other players followed suit and started freezing.
In an instant, ice and heat clashed, and steam rose from the ship.
Leo felt a chill, and even the tortoise shell was moistened by the moisture.
He pursed his lips, swallowing the word "destiny" that was still in his throat.
Well, adventurers are indeed amazing; they can do everything.
Why didn't he think of this trick?
But it's not too late to realize this now. The dining car is also on the ship. Most importantly, his efforts these past few days haven't been in vain.
Although the clan has prepared a lot of cooling and protective items as trial materials, which can also be exchanged for gold coins, now is not the time. Leo has a better way.
Try your luck and you might win big! Akasha's products may be a bit strange, but they always have amazing effects!
Thinking of this, Leo rushed over to Fang Qi and pulled out a bag: "I want to exchange for Bursting Beads, two bottles for each adventurer, no three."
The bag contains armor plates, which are worth 500 gold coins in Akasha, but here they're just for padding tables and are worthless.
In order to collect armor plates, Leo has been running from house to house for the past few days, enduring strange looks and almost getting himself killed.
However, the result was good. Because he was a trial participant, everyone removed the shells that were embedded in the wall, propped up on the corner of the table, and thrown into the storeroom.
The food cart will show you the true power of the Xuanjia Clan!
Fang Qi did not respond to Leo until the other party patted the vending machine uncertainly, at which point he seemed to wake up from his daze.
"Looks like it's Slime Dragon, 300 bottles at a time, they must be rich," Fang Qi thought as he scanned the bag.
Wow, a bag of nail plates.
Did they collect all the armor plates that the Xuanjia tribe members have replaced over the years?
Fang Qi values integrity in business and has no intention of holding onto such a small order.
He popped out the receiving slot, gesturing for Leo to put the bag in, and then a box popped out from another vending machine.
The box was opened, and it was completely full of Burst Jewels with increased fire resistance.
Leo's face lit up with joy, and he called to the adventurers, "Friends, three bottles each, thank you for your help!"
The players who came were not short of money, but they wouldn't refuse the benefits given by the NPCs.
They took the bottle with smiles on their faces, and someone patted Leo on the shoulder: "Good brother, you're sensible, we've got your back."
Time was of the essence, and every second was costing them gold coins. Once everyone was ready, they dared not delay and immediately disembarked and rushed to the island.
Fang Qi watched as all the players left, but did not follow.
He has other things to do, he'll go later.
Just now, Fang Qi wasn't spacing out; he was looking for backup.
To be precise, it was through Vicky that they contacted a blue whale sailing nearby.
The fire here is too big; the hundred or so players on site probably can't handle it. It's estimated that it will soon spread to the Fire Emblem faction's stronghold.
He's already built a port and trade zone here, and he doesn't want his first commercial area, which he's worked so hard to develop, to be reduced to ashes.
In this situation, we need to call in the firefighters.
"Blue Whales, assemble! Bring your tools! Destination: Holy Spirit Island!" Fang Qi issued the rallying order.
On the distant sea, the blue whales that were on their way to their destinations suddenly braked, let out a long cry, and quickly changed direction.
It was an express order from the boss, and there's even a performance point bonus!
Charge!
On the island, the players are divided into four teams, each following Leo and his companions on separate missions.
With the help of the cold air, they arrived outside their respective array points without much loss.
Standing beside Leo, Zhenyu looked at the seemingly burning array ahead and confirmed, "This place looks much more serious than you described on the way. Are you really going in?"
Leo's expression turned grave, and he nodded through gritted teeth: "Go in."
This is only the first hurdle, how can we back down?
He pulled out an heirloom tortoise shell and held it in his hand, saying in a deep voice, "Please help me hold off the fire-evil creature. Just ten minutes is enough, please!"
"Okay, do you need our help?"
Zhenyu knew she basically couldn't get into this level of the storyline, but she still asked out of politeness.
Leo shook his head as expected: "This is our fate as trial participants; no one can help us."
He resolutely stepped into the center of the formation: "Activate it!"
-
Outside the formation, fire-attribute magic began to condense, transforming into countless wild beasts that surged toward the formation's core.
"We're spawning monsters, and they're pretty high level. Brothers, get in position, prepare your [Gunpowder Tentacles], and revive in time!" Zhenyu shouted.
Inside the formation, Leo continuously channeled magic into the tortoise shell with one hand, while using the other to forcefully pour Le Long into his mouth.
The temperature is too high; the ice in one bottle can only last for about 10 seconds. In 10 minutes, you would have to drink 60 bottles.
Leo felt that his stomach and intestines would be ruined after this trip.
But this is already far better than the situation where our predecessors might have been burned to death at any moment.
This is my opportunity, and it's also an opportunity for my clan. The trial will be completed this time!
"Drink it!" Leo roared, gulping down two bottles in quick succession. "Damn stomach, hang in there!"
As for the other supplies prepared by the tribe, not only were they cumbersome to use, but they were also not as effective as this, so Leo had no intention of considering them anymore.
As a result, several strange scenes appeared during Suzaku's trial.
The four Xuanjia clan members, acting as the core of the formation, moved in perfect unison, ignoring their swollen bellies, roaring "Bottoms up!" "Drink!"
He kept saying things like that, and then he kept chugging the drink into his mouth.
The players responsible for defense outside would kite the monster in circles, throwing roasted tentacles onto the ground as they ran.
Those tentacles were like time bombs, exploding with a series of crackling sounds, not only killing monsters but also blasting players to death and back to life.
This caused the healer players in the inner circle responsible for reviving the enemy to curse incessantly.
And the outermost edge of the island.
Fang Qi has already begun to deploy his forces and resources.
"Om, you're at point one, spray water south."
"Otto, go to point number two and spray north later."
"Aure III, Aud IV..."
'
There just happens to be a Blue Whale transport team nearby, isn't that a coincidence?
