Players’ NPC daddy

The Ika Golem in front of us is probably a kind of creature similar to Gram, but it is quite rare for it to attract seawater to form its body. Generally, it can only attract things with similar properties to itself.

"How lucky! We don't have to go swimming." The tenth Huo Luo took out his greatsword and tapped his shoulder with the sword's spine.

For the furry orcs, going into the water is life-threatening. Not only do they have to carry a lot of weight, but they also have to spend time drying their hair after getting ashore.

"No, it's not that simple."

Guild Master Zero leisurely steered the ship, giving up the opportunity for the first round of attack.

He formed a circle with his index finger and thumb and aimed it at the core of the Ika Black Stone Giant.

"Judging from the size, this is at least a 5-ton Ica Black Stone. Obtaining it will complete a large part of the progress bar. But do you think there is such a good thing in the world?"

“Are you a pessimist?”

"No, I sincerely enjoy watching other people's embarrassed optimism."

The conversation between Guild Master Zero and Shixi Huo Luo lasted only ten seconds, which was enough for the PVP players on the Dead Angel to carry out a round of attacks.

This group of iron-blooded strength-conscious people who have no romantic feelings will make every step that can produce maximum output accurate to 0.5 seconds without any error.

The huge Ika Black Stone Giant was instantly frozen, and then beams of light pierced through the giant that was frozen into ice. Finally, the player using the giant hammer jumped to the top of the giant's head and brought down a hammer.

The whole process took exactly ten seconds.

If you can get the 5-ton [Ica Black Stone] in ten seconds, then this task is not difficult.

No one said this because the object had not yet been obtained and the enemy had not yet been defeated.

The hammer player's heavy hammer smashed a huge crack, which spread from the giant's head to the whole body of the frozen iceberg. The surging sea water gushed out from the crack and then wrapped around the ice in turn.

The even larger Ika Black Stone Giant broke out from the ice like a cocoon and became even larger.

The Angel of Death, by comparison, was like a model ship that could be broken with just a few tweaks.

If your ship is sunk in the ocean map, you lose immediately.

The PVP players immediately changed their strategy and used effective freezing attacks to freeze the hands of Ika Black Stone Giant. Others took the opportunity to smash the Death Angel from the hands of Ika Black Stone Giant and let it fall back into the sea.

"It has no health points, which is consistent with the characteristics of the Gram type. Only by destroying the core can it stop moving. But..."

Guild Master Zero did not continue speaking. These guys did not need his explanation. In the first round of attacks of ten seconds, except for the initial freezing control, the rest of the attacks were all aimed at the core.

The core [Ica Stone] can be broken into pieces, it won't become ineffective even if it's broken, as long as it's heavy enough.

But all the attacks disappeared without a trace after entering the body of the Ika Black Stone Giant, as if they were in a different world from the core.

"It's the principle of the mirror world. This body made of sea water is like a mirror, and the core is in the mirror world. If you want to touch the core, you can only enter the mirror world."

A PVP player took advantage of the Ika Black Stone Giant slowly chasing him, swung on the cable of the Death Angel, and used the momentum to leap towards the Ika Black Stone Giant.

At the moment of contact, the player entered the body of the Ika Black Stone Giant as easily as jumping into the sea, without any obstruction or collision damage.

But then the player struggled to his feet, exhaling and dancing.

Fortunately, PVP players have many distraction skills to prevent their opponents from escaping, but this distance is a bit far, beyond the range of the skills.

PVP players immediately demonstrated a quality: although they had no ability to cooperate, their solid skills could make up for this shortcoming.

One player directly threw another player towards the Ika Black Stone Giant, bringing the two close enough for the pull skill to take effect. If one was not enough, another was thrown in. They kept getting closer like a multi-stage rocket, and then everyone activated the pull skill at the same time, creating a human ladder to pull everyone back.

"I almost died! That guy's body is in a deep sea environment, the water pressure is extremely high!"

"I can tell from the way you're dancing around that this Poseidon Akashi is going to come in handy right now."

Guild Master Zero took out five necklaces from the warehouse. The Poseidon Akashi obtained from Naylan had been polished into a perfect circle and inlaid into them.

【Poseidon Akashi Necklace】

[It allows the wearer to breathe in the ocean for 1 hour and be immune to deep sea pressure. ]

"It was agreed that we would have three hours, but after the jewelry was made, we only had an hour. Everyone, you have to work harder."

Guild Master Zero graciously threw down the five necklaces, with no intention of doing anything himself.

The five people caught the necklaces, put them on and immediately rushed towards the Ika Black Stone Giant. After jumping into the giant's body made of sea water again, they rushed straight to the core like fish in water, even faster than they did on the road.

Soon, the five people were close to the core. The Ika Black Stone Giant seemed to know that pests had entered his body but was powerless to do anything about it, and he slapped his body in vain.

Although it was formed by the core summoning seawater, it did not have the ability to operate and control the seawater at will, otherwise the five people would be crushed to death the moment they entered.

"It shouldn't be that simple. If it ends so easily, it would be too shabby." Guild Master Zero held his chin and looked at the five volunteer guinea pigs.

Sure enough, the moment the five people approached the huge core, the core deformed and turned into a huge mermaid-shaped Gram.

[True Ika Black Stone Giant LV250]

Chapter 1532 Deep Sea Battle Field

There is no such thing as getting a five-ton mission stone in one go. The core inside the stone giant that this core has turned into is the [Ika Black Stone] which is the mission target.

It is not uncommon to see a giant made of stone inside a giant made of sea water, just like a nesting doll.

The real Ika Black Stone Giant, although it has the word "giant" in its name, but in terms of size, it is just a five-meter-tall giant stone man, a normal BOSS-level Golem.

Considering the strength of five people, it is not difficult to deal with a LV250, BOSS-level Graham, but the difficulty lies in the fact that this BOSS-level Graham has its own battle arena.

The outer shell of the ocean giant is the battlefield, and the interior is a deep-sea environment.

The deep sea environment comes with deep sea pressure and suffocating environmental damage. Elemental attacks are invalidated, and any action requires double the physical strength consumption. It can be called a hell-level battlefield.

Without the Poseidon Akashi jewelry, even this group of warmongers would have backed off.

But having accessories only relieves you from deep sea pressure and suffocation, and not only is it time-limited, but it will become ineffective if the accessories are knocked off.

Guild Master Zero had a comfortable smile on his face and looked like he was watching the fun, but his eyes never left the core stone giant.

The core stone giant is about to give them a surprise.

The core stone giant in the shape of a mermaid opened his hands and clenched them forward. The body of the ocean giant began to ripple, and ripples spread all over his body.

The alarm bells of the five people approaching at high speed rang loudly, and they subconsciously began to evade without thinking. One of them suddenly froze, as if he was held by an invisible big hand.

It was indeed a hand, but it was made of sea water.

[Hand of the Ocean], this is not a very complicated magic, it simply summons an arm made of sea water from the sea water to grab the enemy.

If it were placed somewhere else, this level of attack would not even be considered a threat, but in the sea water, this hand is completely invisible, and there will not even be any trace of the grabbing process, and you will not feel it until you are grabbed.

Not only was the venue completely unfavorable, but the power of the opponent's skills was also infinitely amplified, making it almost impossible to win.

Guild Master Zero touched his chin, took out a platinum-colored rifle from the warehouse, closed his left eye and began to aim at the part of the ocean giant that was constantly rippling.

“It was as if it was telling me that [the weakness is here].”

boom--

The white bullet emitting an icy chill hit the center of the ripples with incredible precision. The bullet shattered instantly, turning into icy air that froze the ripples.

Then the cold air invaded the body of the ocean giant along the ripples, outlining an arm like a painting, and at the end of the arm was holding a player's hand.

After the sea water turned into ice, the player simply struggled hard to destroy the arm and continued to rush towards the direction of the core giant.

"Everyone, launch an attack on the ocean giant." Guild Master Zero leisurely slung his rifle over his shoulder and issued combat orders.

"The Core Titan didn't generate its seawater arms directly from within the Ocean Giant. Instead, it extended its arms from the surface of the Ocean Giant inward. The ripples are proof of this."

"And the Ocean Giant should also be controlled by the Core Titan. Once the Core Titan starts moving, the Ocean Giant stops."

"How did you find the ripples corresponding to the hand that grabbed that guy?" asked the tenth Huo Luo curiously.

"I guessed it. Anyway, all I have to do is prove the relationship between the ripples and the hands." Guild Master Zero was quite casual, holding up his rifle and firing as if he was fishing.

But every bullet he fired landed accurately on the ripples corresponding to the ocean hands that were about to capture the five people inside the ocean giant's body.

The ocean hands, like invisible killers in the ocean, were frozen one after another, covering the five people as they approached the core giant.

Once they got close to the core giant, the people outside restrained the ocean giant, making it impossible for the core giant to manipulate the ocean battle at will. Only then did the battle really begin.

The core giant, which has a similar structure to Grem, is not weak in close combat. Its large size means greater resistance and consumption, but that is a weakness only shared by living creatures.

The core giant is a stone man, and is powered by the [Ika Black Stone] as its core. There is no problem in increasing the output at will.

But the five of them were in a miserable situation. No matter how strong the players were, they could not change the fact that they were land creatures. It was their instinct to exert force by stepping on the ground. When they were completely floating in the water, they would be in a completely passive state, with no place to use their strength.

Although the five people got close, the damage they caused to the core giant was limited. The attack that originally consumed 10 points of physical strength now consumed 20 points, but because they could not use the force, they could only inflict half of the original damage.

Moreover, the underwater resistance environment greatly restricts the player's movements, and dodging attacks requires a few seconds faster than usual.

"That won't do. How can we lose the first battle? We have to find a foothold." Guild Master Ling thought about a way, and soon his hidden bad character showed up.

"Freeze the ocean giant. That's right. Don't worry about the people inside. Freeze them. They got the precious spots but haven't made any progress. Freeze them quickly."

As for the few people who were spitting bubbles in protest inside the ocean giant, the others remained silent for a few seconds and decisively chose to freeze them. Although they could not guarantee that their performance would be better than the five people, it did not prevent them from having high expectations for these five people.

The solid ice instantly covered the ocean giant, turning it into an ice sculpture again. Meanwhile, the ice continued to spread inwards under the continuous output of the people outside, further compressing the environment.

But this was actually a good thing, as the five people's feet landed on the eroding ice.

They have the Poseidon Akashi necklace, which allows them to breathe underwater and ignore the pressure of the deep sea. If they find a place to gain leverage, it will just be like being hit by a [delay], and the movements will require more physical strength than usual.

Fighting out of the siege while facing a bunch of negative states is a situation that the killing player who walks in the treasure bag is no stranger to.

Guild Master Ling looked at the iceberg leisurely. If what he thought was correct, the five of them should be using the ice to bounce and sprint in the water, launching an attack using the simplest route.

Graem basically has no weaknesses, his stats are incredibly high, but he does have a flaw, which is his lack of intelligence.

If there is no operation, only the simplest attack will be launched. For PVP players, it is like a cooked steak that only needs to be cut.

The iceberg collapsed with a loud bang, and the five men fell back onto the boat, panting. The cold turned half of their bodies white. They were successful and brought back a huge boulder.

Chapter 1533 Hidden Challenge

In the lawless land, [Azazel] handed in the first salvaged event stone.

"500 kilograms, this number is a bit tricky."

Naylan stroked his chin and looked at the [Ika Black Stone] handed over by [Azazel] in front of him, pointed to the measured weight number, and shook his head regretfully.

"According to the rules we have agreed upon, only 1 ton can be rewarded."

"But in the activities we negotiated, there is only the salvaging of the [Ika Black Stone], but no fighting with the Ika Black Stone Giant." Guild Master Zero seemed to be complaining, but his eyes were always fixed on Naylan, trying to see some reaction from Naylan's face.

Unfortunately, Nei Lan was very cunning and did not show any surprise or panic.

"Hmm~ After all, it is a gem that can be used as the core of a teleportation tower. Like those magical ores, it is not surprising that it gathers the surrounding materials to form a Grim."

"And doesn't this save you a lot of work? Originally you had to dive very deep to find the Ica Black Stone, but now the target will come out to find you. Doesn't this save you a lot of trouble?"

"That being said, our contract workers here, apart from complaining that I was selling them as experimental guinea pigs, had no objections and were quite excited."

Guild Master Zero shrugged, tapping his fingers briskly on the table.

In fact, the harvest of this trip was more than expected. It was quite exciting to collect 500KG in one go. The neighboring [Hermes' Travel Cap] only collected 500KG after fighting the beast tide for a whole night.

And this 500KG is the maximum benefit.

However, now that [Hermes's Travel Hat] is wealthy and powerful, it is going to launch 50 salvage points at once, and it can mobilize hundreds of times more players than them. In the competition for the benefits of [Ika Black Stone], it is hard to say who has the advantage.

In addition to the Ica Black Stone, they also received many gifts. The Ica Black Stone is like a magical ore that attracts surrounding matter to form a shell and turns into a Gram.

But compared to the ore core in the mine mountain range, the [Ika Black Stone] is not only larger, but the substances it can absorb are also rarer.

The shell of the Ica Black Stone Core Giant defeated this time is the extremely rare basalt, which is one of the best materials for making heavy equipment.

In addition to basalt, there are also a large number of rare metal crystals, including but not limited to orichalcum and mithril.

It is no joke that the ocean is the world's largest natural treasure trove. There is no telling how many metal elements are contained in the sea water alone.

In the real world, it is almost impossible to extract rare metals from seawater, but in this magical world, everything is possible.

Like the Ica Stones, they use some kind of appeal to gather rare elements in the sea water.

"I say, could there be a hidden challenge in this event, where you have to collect more Ika Black Stones than Hermes' Travel Cap?"

Naylan corrected him with a smile.

"It's not about collecting more than the [Hermes' Travel Cap], but at the final settlement, the total amount of [Ika Black Stones] held must be more than the [Hermes' Travel Cap]."

"By the way, Hermes's Traveling Hat has about 100 tons of Ika Black Stone in stock."

"Ahem..." Even the Guild Master Zero couldn't help but cough. He thought that the profit from this trip was quite a lot, but he didn't expect it was only 0.5% of the total.

"It will take at least two hundred times to complete the goal, and the premise is that [Hermes's Travel Hat] does nothing."
