Chapter 531 The Tide Has No Return
Then, the man snapped his fingers impatiently.

"As a nobody, you're talking too much."

"boom!"

At the same time, the sound of the middle finger rubbing against the thumb was heard.

After being shot by the man.

It had been hovering in the air for a long time.

She was used by men as a second bullet, a 'safety net' to support any battle at any time.

Using the zero-time calculation to predict the trend of things.

It glided through the air in a swift and efficient pale green arc.

It precisely grazed the scalp of the [Drowned Corpse].
-
"Crack! Crack!"

Although most of the body has been 'disconnected'.

It transformed into various shapes of dark green crystals, which then exploded one after another like firecrackers.

It has lost most of its functions, including breathing, speaking, and thinking.

Only the 'fish head' of the entire body is still under control.

All that remained were the ability to see and hear for a mere half-second.

But the Murloc Priest still tried his best to widen his eyes.

He looked at the [drowned corpse].

Do you want to avoid sacrifice?

No matter how powerful you are, you are still slower than me. I have already completed the startup process.

The bullet that brought 'disaster' was powerful, but it would always be slower than mine.

"Bang!"

The sound of the armor plates that were originally covering the body of the [Drowned Corpse] hitting the ground.

This interrupted the fishman's sweet dream.

One second ago, the 'big stomach' was still expanding rapidly.

The [drowning corpse] is about to turn into a bomb.

It happened in the instant the bullet grazed the target.

It's like pressing the delete key and then confirming.

It's like an empty folder.

It disappeared in a way that was beyond its comprehension.

It is precisely as long as the corresponding price can be paid.

Furthermore, if the attack reaches the 'lethal' level, it can forcibly erase the existing 'death speech'.
-
Watching the entire 'person' vanish into thin air, falling to the ground as armor plates.

And a suddenly open passageway.

Only the 'fish head' remains of the [Fishman Sacrifice].

All they had time to do was open their mouths wide.

The thought, "How did he do that?" hadn't even finished running through my mind.

It was like a pig's head placed on an offering table, forever frozen in that moment.

It is dead.

And a notification was generated in the man's ear.

You have slain a Deepsea Priest of the [Priest] rank.

[You perfectly eliminated the special team, the "Funeral Squad," during the battle.]

[Depending on the monster's strength and the difficulty of defeating it, you will receive additional rewards.]

The special treasure chest, "Deep Sea Treasure," has been sent to your personal storage space.
-
The man glanced at the blue treasure chest filled with barnacles in his personal space.

After looking at the label on it, which reads "High probability of producing skills learned by killing monsters",...

He nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, we've encountered a monster that can drop treasure chests.

Furthermore, the output can be linked to one's own skill set.

Although you can get "Old Gold Coins" as an 'event token' every time you kill a monster, you can exchange them for profits in town.

But instead of opening treasure chests or blind boxes, I did a gacha pull.

I always feel like something is missing.

The satisfied man put his hand down.

He looked at everyone, about to say something.

But then he paused for a moment.

An unexpected notification sound rang in the man's ear.

[Influenced by [mysticism] and unknown factors, you have become aware of your [state] [deep dive countdown].]

[Due to the defeat of the [Deepsea Whale Hunter] and [Deepsea Priest], your [Deepsea Countdown] has changed.]

[5% -> 14%]

I could hear the increasingly clear sound of the ocean waves, and the sound of bubbles rising from my nose like when I'm diving.

Fang Yi, however, showed no emotional fluctuation.

The man simply raised his head and looked calmly at the crowd.

They were looking around at the pile of armor plates after the [drowned corpse] disappeared, searching for something.

The veteran quickly looked up after noticing his gaze.

And there was the swordsman in front of him, leaning on his longsword and panting heavily, his face filled with shame after their eyes met. And beside him, humming an unknown tune and constantly throwing punches.

Miss Kanroji was in a very pleasant mood.

Fang Yi threw out firewood that could be used for setting up camp.

New instructions have been given.

"Find a place to camp, rest, and resupply."

"Vaughn, go and cut off pieces from the monster's body to exchange for [Old Gold Coin] vouchers."

After issuing instructions and assigning tasks to everyone.

Fang Yi frowned and clicked on the newly appeared [Status].

This dungeon seems to be quite unusual.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the "Deep Dive Countdown" is something to keep an eye on.
-
[Deep Dive Countdown]

Progress: 14%
effect:

This dungeon run is only valid for this particular dungeon run.

Slightly reduce reaction speed and release speed.

Slightly increase the rate at which the [pressure value] rises.

Summary:
The tide will eventually engulf everything, and no one can escape it.

Evaluation:

Although fireworks can briefly help you escape the tide.

But what you need even more is a boat that can stay away from the tides.
-
After recalling the official names of [Murloc Swordmaster] and [Murloc Priest], namely [Deep-Diving Whale Hunter] and [Deep-Diving Priest], I realized that...

I glanced at the increasingly noticeable water stains on my arm.

Fang Yi sensed a conspiracy.

They also learned the difficulty of this 'dungeon'.

The longer you stay in it, the weaker it becomes.

Defeating monsters with the "Deep Dive" prefix will continuously accumulate a buff that weakens you.

This is a battle that cannot be delayed and is highly targeted at the strong.

Think about it for a moment.

Recalling the spear with the severed head that the previous survivor had been holding.

A curse called "Deep Dive".

Fang Yi pulled out the [Curse and Fortune].

I tentatively touched the water stains on the back of my hand.

The dagger touched the water stain and felt a sticky sensation.

However, he received the feedback that "in this environment, it will take 52 years of spare lifespan to remove the curse."

After killing three monsters, he finally gained 40 years of spare lifespan.

Fang Yi immediately dismissed the idea of ​​'cheating'.

A strategy was decided on the spot.

Before meeting the [Leader] and clearing away the [Star Calamity].

We need to ensure that everyone gets a kill, and share the [Deep Dive Countdown] equally.

At the same time, we need to try to find some ways to reduce the "deep dive countdown".

Thinking of this, Fang Yi raised his head.

Looking towards the distance, the firewood had been lit, creating a somewhat strange scene.

The firelight briefly suppressed the sound of the 'tidal wave'.

Think for a while.

He then turned his attention to a skill he hadn't used in a long time.

Or rather, it can only be used after setting up camp, which requires consuming firewood.

A "Hangover Party" game called "Camping Technique".

This "camping technique" has a "stress-reducing" effect, so you might want to give it a try.

Regardless, let's give it a try.

Fang Yi took out his personal space.

The "water mixed with wine" item, which I casually stole during the beginner quests, has been around for a long time.

And the pills prepared by Shinobu Kocho.

I watched as Ms. Kanroji was cleaning the ground with a shovel not far away.

And the ability to exchange vouchers for Old Gold Coins, collect the longsword of the Murloc Swordsman, and the swordsman with the extraordinary staff of the Murloc Priest.

He cleared his throat, about to greet the two.

But instead, he sat by the fire, staring blankly at the meat broth on top of it.

The old man, who had been silent for a long time, spoke first.

"Captain, what is it?"

Will we be able to go back to the town this time?

Looking at the object the old man was holding in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yi gave his answer.
