Monster collectors on the cross-platform

At this moment, Huo was already wearing his full black armor, and the handsome armor attracted the attention of many people.

After shaking his head again and declining the invitation from another group of people, a seven-colored glow suddenly appeared on the sea, and a pale blue portal suddenly appeared on the sea not far from the shore.

The portal was similar to the one Huo had used to enter the dungeon before, only much larger.

"The portal has appeared! Everyone, charge!"

Someone shouted something in the crowd, and in an instant, a large group of people used all their skills to rush towards the teleportation portal on the sea.

Huo was not in a hurry, watching the large group of people rush into the teleportation portal and disappear.

Many others, like Huo, remained on the shore to observe, but some were not waiting to go in.

"Why is this portal in the sea?" Huo, wearing armor, muttered under his breath, though thankfully the armor had a weight-reducing enchantment, so swimming across wasn't too difficult.

Touching the portal caused a dizzying sensation, and when Huo regained consciousness, he found himself in a cave.

The cave wasn't dark, and Huo Huan couldn't figure out where the light was coming from, but even in complete darkness, it didn't affect Huo Huan's fighting ability.

With a sudden thought, Huo summoned the Book of Collections and replaced the hand enhancement with the Banshee's Life Detection trait.

In the next instant, a rough map appeared in Huo Huan's mind, with dozens of red dots appearing within a 5-mile radius of Huo Huan.

According to the map, Huo walked toward the nearest red dot, only to find that there was a rock wall in front of him and no way out.

"Tsk, this trait isn't very useful either." Seeing that he couldn't find a shortcut, Huo randomly chose a direction and walked over.

Not far away, a series of sparse sounds reached Huo Huan's ears, and a sea snake suddenly darted out from the shadows in the corner and bit Huo Huan's calf.

A sour, grating sound came from his calf. Huo then kicked the sea snake that was biting him to death. The next instant, a gunshot rang out from the left.

The impact of the bullet hitting the helmet made Huo Huan tilt his head and look to his left. A young man in leather armor looked at Huo Huan provocatively and made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.

"You're asking for death!" Huo's muscles tensed as he faced the youth and launched a charge!

Huo suddenly crashed into the young man like a high-speed train, and the young man, who had just been arrogant, was now filled with terror.

"You've fallen for my trap." Seeing that a collision was imminent, the fear on the young man's face disappeared, replaced by a sly smile of triumph.

A loud explosion came from beneath my feet, followed by a powerful shock.

Huo, who was halfway through his charge, was immediately interrupted by this force and was thrown violently into the air before falling to the ground.

"Hahaha," the young man's smug laughter came from outside the smoke, seemingly mocking the foolish knight.

Chapter 24 Fishman

The regenerative ability quickly healed Huo Huan's minor internal injuries, and Huo Huan, who was a little dizzy from the blast, quickly stood up.

"This is your plan? It seems to be nothing special." With his natural armor and body armor, ordinary gunpowder had little effect on Huo. If it were an ordinary knight, he might actually die from the enemy's explosives.

"How is this possible? How could you be completely unharmed?" The young man stared in horror at Huo Huan, who emerged from the smoke unscathed. Well, not exactly unharmed, though his armor showed some fresh marks.

Huo remained silent, but launched another charge.

As a basic skill in melee combat, Charge is generally used by melee players to close the distance between themselves and enemies. It has the advantages of being easy to learn and having low energy consumption. At the same time, there is no skill cooldown. As long as your body can withstand it and your energy is not exhausted, you can keep launching Charge.

Huo Huan launched a second charge, but the young man on the other side was clearly out of options. He lunged to the side in an attempt to dodge Huo Huan's attack.

However, a charge is not so easy to dodge. Huo only slightly adjusted his posture, then swung his shield with his left hand, slamming the young man hard against the rock wall.

With a swift turn, the hand axe in his right hand swung down from above, cleaving the young man, who had crashed into the rock wall and bounced back in mid-air, in two.

"Tch, so he's just a nobody." After examining the young man's body, they found nothing of value. It seems he was just an ordinary person who came to the secret realm to try his luck.

Using the young man's clothes to wipe the blood off the axe, Huo, who had not yet found anything, continued walking in another direction.

This journey was exceptionally long, so long that Huo Huan began to doubt whether he had gone the wrong way, when a series of chattering sounds reached his ears.

Upon hearing a sound, Huo's spirits lifted, and he quickly quickened his pace.

After rounding a bend, the unchanging cave finally began to change.

Five or six limbed fishmen are dismembering two corpses lying on the ground. Behind the fishmen is a small underground lake, and several small huts made of seaweed and rocks have been built along the lake.

Upon seeing a living person, the merman, who was dismembering the corpse, immediately abandoned it and charged towards Huo Huan, brandishing his bone spear and chattering away. Even faster than the merman were several water arrow spells.

On the shore of the lake behind the merman, a merman holding a staff stood at the door of the hut, staring at Huo Huan with a bloodthirsty look.

Several water arrows passed over the fishmen and headed straight for Huo Huan's storefront.

Just to be on the safe side, Huo also raised his shield to block the incoming water arrows.

With a series of "puff puff puff" sounds, Huo Huan blocked all the water arrows. The water arrows were powerful, but not enough to break through Huo Huan's defense.

Seeing that his spell was useless, the murloc priest immediately cast another spell, but this time the target was not Huo Huan, but the charging murlocs.

A flash of white light appeared, and the charging murlocs were all encased in a white shield. At that moment, the murlocs were about to reach Huo Huan.

These fishmen were about as strong as ordinary people, posing no threat to Huo, who had 17 points of strength. However, his own attacks did seem somewhat weak.

Huo frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, as he watched the merman who had been knocked back by his axe blow, lying on the ground severely injured but not dead.

However, there's nothing that can be done for now, as the development time is too short, and the shortcomings still need to be made up for with Zongwang Coins.

Just as Huo was still entangled with the mermen, the merman priest cast a spell once again.

A white light instantly flew towards Huo Huan. Huo Huan tried to dodge, but the spell was too fast. By the time he saw it, the spell had already descended upon him.

The spell descended upon Huo Huan, who felt a numbing sensation spread throughout his body, causing his attack to freeze instantly.

The numbness came and went quickly, and Huo regained his mobility in less than a second.

"Is this a human immobilization spell? You're far too dangerous!" Sensing the threat posed by the merman priest, Huo immediately shook off the surrounding mermen and charged at the merman priest.

Huo Huan charged forward at great speed, and in the blink of an eye, the merman priest was within reach.

"Clang!" The hand axe being swung was blocked by a semi-transparent figure. A demonic spirit appeared in front of the merman priest.

The merman priest behind them cast another spell, his staff transforming into a spear, and abandoned the spellcasting to join the siege of Huo Huan.

As soon as they clashed, Huo sensed that the merman priest's power was only slightly weaker than his own. Faced with the combined attack of the fish and the spirit, the situation immediately became deadlocked.

A prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. Caught off guard by the siege, Huo Huan was slashed in the waist by the spirit's sword. The expected excruciating pain did not come. Huo Huan suddenly realized that it seemed difficult for the opponent to break through his defenses. If that was the case, why should he continue to defend?

Having figured it out, Huo immediately stopped defending, put away his shield, gripped the axe handle with both hands, and fiercely attacked the opposing merman priest, completely ignoring the spirit's attacks.

The murloc priest, who was taking on Huo Huan's attacks alone, couldn't hold on any longer and his weapon broke after only a few blows.

Without weapons, he was no match for Huo Huan's attacks and was killed by Huo Huan within minutes.

Once the merman priest died, his spirit immediately dissipated, and the remaining mermen were no match for him. They followed the merman priest to hell, each one being struck down with an axe.

"Phew," Huo let out a long breath and sat cross-legged on the ground to recover from his injuries.

The merman's attacks were alright, but the spirit's attacks were quite vicious, leaving several gaps in his armor. Fortunately, Huo's armor was thick, so he only suffered some superficial wounds.

Using his abilities to drive regeneration, along with breathing techniques, Huo Huan's injuries quickly recovered to about 70-80%, though the energy consumption was quite high.

After summoning the Book of Collections to contain the merman corpses on the ground, Huo took out food from his spatial backpack and began to eat.

Besides breathing techniques and natural regeneration, another way to obtain energy is through eating, extracting energy from food. Huo Huan, with his flesh-devouring abilities, can quickly digest food and convert it into energy.

As Huo Huan ate a lot, the energy that had been depleted by more than half began to recover rapidly.

After finishing his meal, Huo opened the Book of Collections to see what traits these fish-men could bring him.

Race name: Kou Tao Fishman

Introduction: The Kou Tao fishmen once roamed the coasts and islands, but were later driven to the underground world, where they have lived for generations in madness and darkness.

Trait: Amphibious

Amphibious: Kou Tao Fishman is naturally adapted to both terrestrial and underwater environments. When equipped, players gain the ability to breathe underwater.

The other is the trait of the High Priest of the Kou Tao Fishman, which also has amphibious properties, but with the additional trait of extraordinary perception.

Extraordinary Senses: Kou Tao Murlocs can sense the presence of any creature around them, regardless of whether the other party is invisible or in the Aether plane. After equipping this ability, players can sense the exact location of all invisible units within 10 meters.

Underwater breathing and stealth are both great traits, especially now that most of the world is in the ocean. With these traits, you won't have to worry about drowning.

Thinking of this, Huo quickly removed the Banshee's life detection and loaded the two traits of the High Priest Kou Tao into it.

End of Chapter 25

After the battle ended, they began cleaning up the battlefield. The murloc high priest's scepter was broken and clearly unusable. The bone spears in the murlocs' hands were just ordinary weapons and not worth much. There was nothing of value in the murloc hut either, except for some seaweed and seashells.

So, let's see if there's anything good in this underground lake.

Huo didn't even take off his armor; he jumped straight into the lake, armor and all.

This time, entering the water felt completely different from before. The lake water no longer made Huo feel suffocated; instead, it gave him a familiar and welcoming feeling, like a bathing emperor who hadn't taken a bath in a long time returning to the bathhouse.

As Huo Huan dived deeper, the surrounding light gradually dimmed. After descending about 10 meters, Huo Huan touched the bottom of the lake.

The underground lake wasn't very large, and Huo quickly explored the bottom of the lake. Apart from some common seaweed and shellfish, there was only a stone statue about the size of a palm.

The stone statue was carved into the shape of a fish-man, holding a trident, and emitting a faint glow.

After observing for a while, Huo, lacking knowledge, still hadn't figured out the purpose of the stone statue, so he decisively sought help from the all-powerful internet.

Name: Merman Festival Statue (Purple)

Type: Treasure

Weight: 2.5kg

Effect: Job Change

Description: Can grant ordinary people the Tidal Spirit profession, giving them the power to control the tides. Uses: 1/1.

A secret treasure that can grant ordinary people extraordinary powers is not of much use to Huo, but it can be used as material to make extraordinary equipment or to enhance similar professions.

Although it's not very useful to Huo, it's still a purple item, so it should be able to sell for a lot of money.

Open the chat channel, and the players are still chatting enthusiastically, as if they never need to rest.
