Chapter 23

Blood Sea Rampage searched through every corner of the sunken ship with a murderous aura, clearing it out completely. Now that trash has no place to hide and can only fight me head-on!

— System Notification: Respected user, the user you are looking for is not in the current service area.

Not being in the service area definitely doesn't mean they are offline, but rather that they have entered another scene! In other words, they have taken my fruit!

Blood Sea Rampage gritted his teeth, a sense of immense crisis and frustration he had never felt before!

Blood Sea Rampage didn't really care about equipment; he had money and could buy as much as he wanted! But he hated this feeling of defeat! From childhood to adulthood, whether it was studying or fighting, Blood Sea Rampage had never lost! He always believed that his intelligence and physique were superior to others.

But the fact that the other person had killed him three times was undeniable. No matter how unwilling and不服 (unwilling), Blood Sea Rampage had to face the reality that this was no longer a foe to be taken lightly! However, this is the testing ground arranged by the system for my god-level hero, not for him—although I have to admit his talent is quite bizarre, it's not a combat talent, so he won't succeed easily! Without a magic book, without any troops, what can he do with just a slow-firing ballista?

That's right, at least the system hasn't notified me of a failed trial yet. There's still a magic book boss, and the ship is still here. My advantage is still present, even if it's not obvious. I still have a chance to turn the tide! Not for the equipment, not for the rewards, just to win!

Blood Sea Rampage returned to the cabin and suddenly noticed that the number of zombies summoned by the boss had significantly increased, the entire corridor was packed. No doubt, this must be the impact of that trash entering another scene on the trial task. But it's good, I was just complaining about the slow leveling up. More zombies mean more opportunities to level up and kill!

...

The World of the Dead.

Bone servants landed from all directions, and Da Fei was busy intercepting them everywhere.

Damn! Can't you concentrate on one direction! Can't you stop making me run around, it's exhausting!

The situation became increasingly severe, with the spawn rate of monsters getting faster and more numerous. The small map showed bone fish landing from all sides, and Da Fei's defense circle gradually shrank to a small area around the captain.

No way! How can I defend this! Unless I'm an archer, one arrow at a time! Da Fei was sweating profusely.

Finally, a bone fish successfully broke through Da Fei's interception and hit the captain during the ritual for -1! Damn! Da Fei quickly turned and stabbed it to death.

The captain immediately said, "Adventurer, protect me. I have no strength to resist external invasions! If I fail, I will fall into eternal despair!"

Da Fei was devastated! This means the epic hero will be gone if the trial fails?

Da Fei finally understood why the system assigned two players to this island for the trial. This kind of all-around attack is something one player can't handle!

Isn't this a scam! It's not that I want to hog everything, but that idiot never planned to cooperate with me! It's not my fault! Heaven and sea, I admit I did many bad things years ago, but do you have to send an idiot to torment me?

Looking at the increasing number of landing monsters, Da Fei was in a panic! What to do? What to do?! Is this hero trial really that difficult? Do two players really need to work together? Well, if the US and the Soviet Union can work together, maybe I and that idiot can too!

Captain, do you know that I can't complete the task alone? If I can't, just say so, don't rush into the instance. Give me some time to talk to that idiot, there's still a glimmer of hope. Now, it doesn't matter if you trick me, but if you trick yourself, that's not worth it!

Wait, I still have something! Da Fei quickly opened his inventory.

— Demonized Toxic Sea Anemone King Seed: Troop Source Base. Can cultivate a new type of troop, the Demonized Toxic Sea Anemone, with a small chance of cultivating a Demonized Toxic Sea Anemone King. Construction conditions: Unknown.

This item is guaranteed to drop from the boss. In other words, if the trial player doesn't find the hidden boss in the wild, they must kill this boss to get this item.

What if I plant this base right now? Generally, a troop base will have at least one troop once it's completed, and I need a troop! Even a level 1 troop, under the astonishing attack, defense, and skill buffs of Renoir, can still kill without hesitation! As long as I can protect the epic hero, it's worth paying the price of a troop base, especially since the construction conditions of this troop base are unknown, making it hard to sell for a high price.

The question is, when will it be completed? Of course, the most important question is, can I plant it here? This is the World of the Dead, not a place where normal creatures can exist, right?

Damn! What time is it to think about this? I never hesitate when buying lottery tickets! I'll plant it next to the captain, at worst it can serve as a wall to block the four-sided attack, turning it into a three-sided attack.

— System Notification: Are you sure you want to use the Demonized Toxic Sea Anemone King Seed here?

— System Notification: This area does not belong to your kingdom's territory, and your base can be destroyed or occupied by enemy forces at any time. Additionally, the Demonized Toxic Sea Anemone King Seed is an unknown creature, and its growth and construction conditions are unknown. Your planting may fail, and if it does, you will lose the Demonized Toxic Sea Anemone King Seed.

Bro, let's take a risk! Confirm!

— System Notification: Since the conditions for planting the Demonized Toxic Sea Anemone King Seed are unknown, please try to allocate resources.

Resource allocation? How do I know what resources are needed! Wait!

Suddenly, Da Fei remembered the first hidden sea anemone king he encountered at the whale bone! Why were there barrels of resources there? Why was there a sea anemone king on the ship?

The system has already told me the answer! This sea anemone king must have grown by absorbing the cargo on the ship! As for the small sea anemones in the wild, they must have grown by absorbing the cargo unloaded from the ship. If I only found them on the ship, how would I know what resources they need? But the hidden boss I encountered in the wild clearly showed me that the resources it needed were the concentrated mercury, refined sulfur, and mithril I picked up from the barrels! That's it!

Da Fei immediately put all the resources he had picked up into the allocation list and confirmed!

These are unique top-tier resources of the new world, 1 unit equivalent to 10 units of ordinary resources. Even building an angel altar to recruit level 7 troops would only require 20 units each of ordinary wood, stone, crystal, and gem. I'm using the specifications for a level 7 building, putting all my startup capital on the line. You must succeed!

— System Notification: You have planted the Demonized Toxic Sea Anemone King Seed. Please wait patiently for the results.

At the same time, a red glowing circle appeared on the ground beneath Da Fei, with a progress bar slowly moving.

Damn, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, how long do I have to wait? No matter, let's do our best and leave the rest to fate!

Bone servants continued to attack from all sides, and Da Fei fought with his spear, struggling to hold them off.

In the midst of the chaos, another bone servant broke through the interception and rushed forward. Its position was right on the red circle where the base was being built. Da Fei hurriedly rushed over and stabbed it to death. In that instant, the bone fire in the bone servant's skull turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew into the red circle, and the progress bar visibly increased by a small segment!

Da Fei was suddenly startled. So this is it! This sea anemone isn't just a vegetarian; it also feeds on higher-level soul energy! No wonder there was a giant whale skull next to the first sea anemone king!

With this new discovery, Da Fei changed his tactics. Instead of intercepting the enemies at the gate, he let them advance deep into the area.

The captain urgently said, "Adventurer, I've been hit again!"

Da Fei immediately replied, "Captain, hold on, I have a secret weapon!" He then stabbed the bone servant, and the bone fire once again turned into a wisp of green smoke, contributing to the progress bar.

Hahaha! Looking at the progress bar, my planting is likely to succeed! Da Fei was suddenly filled with confidence. He continued to stab the bone servants attacking the captain, and their bone fires were all absorbed, quickly advancing the construction progress to one-fifth.

The captain kept complaining, "Adventurer, although I don't really care about this damage, it's affecting my concentration!"

Da Fei laughed, "Captain, please focus entirely and ignore these ants." He then calmly stabbed another bone servant.

Now, Da Fei was getting the hang of it, ensuring that most bone servants were killed before they could attack the captain, while also ensuring the circle could absorb the nutrients.

Soon, a golden light descended from the sky!

— System Notification: Congratulations! You have leveled up to level 11. You have gained 1 free attribute point, 1 skill point, +2 health, and +1 leadership.

Leveled up! Is it harder to level up after level 10? No! The experience is great! Killing level 0 troops gives the experience of level 4 troops. Where else in life can I experience such joy?

At this moment, a silver-black protrusion suddenly emerged from the ground within the base's red circle! Sprouted? Succeeded? Hahaha, continue!

A while later, the captain's longsword glowed, and a thunderclap echoed in the sky, causing the island to shake!

The captain said in a deep voice, "We have entered the second stage. More powerful enemies will appear. We must hold on."

More powerful enemies, great! I was just complaining that these bone servants weren't strong enough. Da Fei quickly replied, "No problem, don't worry."

Ripples appeared on the sea, and a tall monster with a human body, snake tail, and dragon head landed and slithered forward. This is a necromantic naga?

Old routine, rush to the front and kill. Close up! Spear stab, -53! Not dead! This health far exceeds that of a level 4 troop!

— System Notification: You have obtained incomplete information about the Necromantic Overseer!

It's close, strike first before it attacks, another spear stab, -17!

— System Notification: You have killed a Necromantic Overseer, gaining 90 experience points!

90 experience points! This necromantic sea monster is too strong... or rather, too rich! So rich that I don't even care about their information! I love gaining experience and fertilizer, hahaha!
