Chapter 1450 - 1349: Failed to Seize the Mine
While Da Fei was still pondering strategies to break the stalemate in the Minotaur Labyrinth, the EU red-named players made a significant breakthrough at the mine outside the Red Village: As more than a dozen EU fishing players unleashed their ultimate moves, the two Spider Ladies cramped inside the cave fell violently, and two clusters of red stars flew from their bodies towards the village, mimicking the situation when the Spider Lady at the entrance was killed.
Although it wasn’t clear what these three clusters of stars were about, there was no doubt that killing the Spider Ladies must be connected to some kind of task in the village.
Instantly, the EU red-named players cheered, and in the EU Joint Army chat room, applause erupted.
But it’s not over yet; there’s only one last Spider Lady left. However, with more than a dozen fishing players’ ultimates still unused and a large number of fresh cannon fodder outside the mine, killing her is only a matter of time. With so many BOSSES inside the cave, it further solidified the confidence that there must be minerals inside!
Finally, as another wave of ultimate moves from the main fishing force erupted, the last Spider Lady went down.
"Oh yeah!" All the players erupted in deafening cheers.
Prince George couldn’t wait to give the order: "Keep going deeper!"
"Advance!" Amid the echoed cheers through the tunnel, the red light at the end of the tunnel came into view!
"It’s the crystal light!!!"
"Absolutely minerals!"
All players cheered, and the EU Joint Army chat room thundered with applause!
Lancelot quickly recovered from his ecstasy: "Your Highness, Chinese players won’t sit idly by our actions. I believe it won’t be long before they enter the Red Village en masse to compete for minerals with us; the real war starts now."
Prince George smiled lightly: "This is the Red Village. Even if Da Fei is here, he’ll at most equal three fishing masters’ power, but we have nearly thirty fishing elites. If the Chinese players are willing to continue this rivalry with us under such circumstances, we say, welcome!"
Gao Wen agreed: "That’s right, besides, we also have a lot of red-named members. If the China Guild sends frontline players, they’ll have to risk losing equipment. If they send many regular players, then there’s nothing to say."
Lancelot laughed: "I’ll lead the charge!"
At that moment, they reached the end of the tunnel, where a giant cave made of red minerals appeared as expected!
"Rare minerals!"
The entire player base cheered loudly, while the EU Joint Army chat room was filled with enthusiastic applause and mutual congratulations.
At that moment, the Blood Pool within the cave began boiling fiercely, and a Spider Lady emerged drenched in blood from the pool!
In an instant, the cheering from the entire audience came to a sudden halt! The EU command rooms were in an uproar: "What’s going on?"
Prince George immediately issued an order: "There’s only one, focus fire to eliminate it!"
"Yes, Sir!"
The assault began; in this spacious cave, players could fully deploy their firepower. Even though a bunch of fishing masters had run out of ultimate moves, there was still adequate firepower.
But barely five seconds into the battle, two more Spider Ladies emerged from the boiling Blood Pool simultaneously, three in total!
The whole scene was in an uproar: "Oh my god!!"
The fishing elite quickly grasped the situation; without waiting for headquarters commands, they immediately dashed while shouting, "We have no more ultimates, cover our retreat!"
"Oh shit!!!" Amidst a cacophony of curses, the three Spider Ladies charged like tanks!
At this moment, players could no longer resist the advances and harvest of these three fresh BOSS forces, countless Death White Lights soared up!
In the next moment, Da Bing and others observing from the Red Village again witnessed the spectacular descent of stars!
At this time, One Sword Eastward chuckled: "Spotted a familiar face, Super Mario!"
Da Bing laughed: "Spotted two more! No, three!"
Da Liu exclaimed: "Oh my gosh, if the red-named fishing dies, it might lose fishing energy value, right?"
Da Bing laughed: "That’s the thrill and challenge! Come, everyone say hello!"
Amid the laughter of Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce members, Mario and three other fishing friends returned to the pond sullenly, picked up their fishing rods, and sat down to fish.
Da Bing asked with a smile: "Mario, how could a master like you die?"
Mario replied irritably: "Someone in front blocked my way, I didn’t escape in time."
Da Bing chuckled, then said lightly: "Even though there are a lot of minerals, the BOSSES guarding them aren’t easy to deal with. If we die, it’s not worth it."
Mario snorted: "Well, I don’t care, I’m not moving until my ultimate recovers. Let them figure out how to occupy the minerals..."
There really are minerals! Mario spoke unintentionally, but Da Bing was asking intentionally. Actually, Da Bing didn’t know if there really were minerals inside, but this conversation got the truth out!
In the next moment, Da Bing immediately switched out of the game and contacted Bai Huasha in the offline chat room: "Beauty, quickly report to Brother Fei, the EU zone really found minerals in the Red Village mine, but failed to occupy them!"
"Got it!"
...
At this time, Da Fei, touching the bricks, accepted with a thousand emotions the results of this loot scoop. In any case, come back when you achieve Master-level Treasure Appraiser, as collecting Mushroom Robe boosts Master-level Treasure Experience, collecting multiple times should make it possible.
Da Fei exited the instance and returned to the ship. At that moment, Da Fei saw two lines of system messages:
——System Prompt: Your Lilim Camp successfully recruited 2 Lilim’s Souls!
——System Prompt: Your Lilim Camp successfully recruited 1 Lilim’s Soul!
Da Fei was suddenly taken aback; recruiting three simultaneously? It’s going to aid the explosion in Red Village! At this point, Da Fei’s friend notification chimed; it was Bai Huasha.
Bai Huasha: "Brother Fei, Da Bing reported the latest situation, the EU zone discovered minerals in the Red Village’s mine, but suffered heavy losses, failed to occupy, with at least 4 main fishing players dead. Here are the screenshots from Da Bing, please give the next instructions, Brother Fei."
Gazing at the screenshot of the Resurrection Point with players descending like stars, Da Fei was dumbfounded for a while! How massive an operation is this?
Da Fei regained himself and laughed wryly, saying the task was given to the big shots, why should he worry? Da Fei responded: "Just continue observing. By the way, during your free time, ask Village Chief Elda if any tasks will happen."
"Understood."
Da Fei further added: "Oh, tell Da Bing and the others to try spreading the news, saying there isn’t just one mine cave, but some BOSS cave has minerals."
Bai Huasha was amazed: "What’s Brother Fei’s intention?"
Of course, it’s to have them kill more Lilim for me, expanding the Lilim Army! Da Fei laughed: "Of course, continue consuming their strength, and let them explore minerals for us."
Bai Huasha laughed heartily: "Not surprised you’re Brother Fei, quite sly!"
Oh boy, Brother Fei just did something even slyer that he daren’t tell anyone! Ending the conversation, Da Fei decided to recruit these 3 Lilim’s Souls, but first needed Selvia’s Sea Soul Staff to refine. However, Selvia was busy refining Soul Devouring Beetle right now, so just had to keep waiting.
But waiting does no good, the next loot scoop, Medusa’s Eye!
——System Prompt: You entered the Medusa’s Eye instance, the current perfect clearance determination is "Mythical Level."
With a change of scene, Da Fei entered a dark, damp underground cavern with water sounds murmuring.
——System Prompt: You are currently in a water battle environment, your navigator’s Extreme Survival takes effect, increasing you and your troops’ Life Physical Strength by 50%. Your Ultimate Sea Monster Hunter Achievement takes effect, increasing you and your troops’ Life Physical Strength by 20%.
Gazing at the water flowing up to his knees, Da Fei laughed wryly, "Is this my domain again? How is this appropriate?"
Based on experience from the previous instance, Da Fei began exploring in all directions for instance prompts. However, in this birdless dark cave, there was no place with a sign indicating instructions for players. It seems sometimes Mythical Level is a Mythical Level because there are simply no prompts.
Then there’s nothing more to say, release the Blood Eagle, light the torch, and proceed forward. (To be continued.
