Chapter 1001 - 942: Not Enough Quest Monsters
As the three Middle-level Naga Warriors were killed, the Siren Shadow couldn’t help but exclaim, "Warrior, perhaps you have also felt how difficult it is to kill a formidable Naga Warrior in the sea under normal circumstances, but you did it. Maybe you can achieve even more glorious results. For example, the Naga sends a convoy to transport supply materials every week, and the next shipment is in two days."
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, "I see! Got it!"
The Siren Shadow laughed, "Then I look forward to it."
No wonder the island’s resource harvest always felt lacking, it turns out it was all consumed! That’s fine, the Middle-level Naga Warriors cooperated well in clearing the area, and it won’t be difficult to clear all dozens of small islands in this sea area in two days.
Now, Tamilia urgently transported the bodies of the three Divine Power Nagas into the Holy Vine Space and then began to examine the bodies of the fishmen slaughtered by the Nagas as offerings.
Da Fei immediately asked, "Are they edible?"
Tamilia sighed, "They are completely useless corpses now, with no value at all."
Da Fei nodded, "That’s good, saves us from having to transport them."
Now, after the fleet completed gathering the spoils of war, it began to clear the third nearby small island along the way. This island had no Middle-level Nagas, only ordinary fishmen and ordinary Nagas.
Da Fei was torn; killing them wouldn’t yield much experience or benefits and would waste transport time. But not killing them felt unsatisfying. It’s an obsession that can’t be cured!
So, nothing more needed to be said. Since my Angel Vine Demons and Sea Demon teams that can airlift bodies are sufficient, let’s get this over quickly. This time, there’s no need to adjust the fleet formation for coast bombardment because it wastes time. Let’s be direct; land with ancient trees and crush everything, with Angels clearing the way and the Sea Demon Vine Demons providing fire support from behind.
A one-sided massacre began again, and among the fishmen, over a dozen tall commanders directing the slave warriors were indeed conspicuous. Anyway, the damage from these ordinary fishmen was negligible; Da Fei, impatiently, activated the Blood Eagle Petrification Aura, slowing them down, and the Angel Army flew in to behead them.
These dozen ordinary Four-Armed Nagas immediately formed a circle to counter the Angel’s Attack, trying to parry and block, but the frequency was nowhere as impressive as the three Divine Power Nagas, and their attack speed couldn’t match the Angels either. In short, they were not in the same league, and they were mowed down easily.
At this moment, the system prompt chimed:
——System Prompt: 164 fishman slaves are intimidated by your strength and wish to submit to you. Do you accept?
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, "Wow! It’s been a while since I played a low-level match, and I almost forgot the glorious days when I conscripted thousands of Demon Children! That means, if I slay those Naga Warriors leading the charge, those slaves will naturally surrender!"
Indeed, the loyalty of slave troops is notoriously low, especially for the Beastman Race’s level 1 troop Goblins, which are considered the most disgraceful of the Beastman Race. They can even surrender on the battlefield if they’ve been devastated. However, the level 1 troops from the Beastman Race are important sacrifices for level 4 Shamans and crucial fodder for improving the Bloodthirst Technique for level 5 Beastman Slaughterers, so they have to put up with it. This situation is similar to the fishman slaves of the Naga Clan.
There’s not much else to say. In front of the four Grandmaster-level leaders of diplomacy in my team, surrendering is a wise choice. I can’t be bothered to spend more time killing them—accept.
In an instant, the heads of all the fishmen on the island turned green, and they all knelt down in worship.
——System Prompt: The battle is over! You accepted the surrender of the fishman slave warriors; 164 slave soldiers have joined your team. You gain +160,000 Experience, and receive Naga Warrior Sea Shell Medal +11, discover battlefield spoils: Pearls +16 units, Gemstones +31 units, Corals +32 units, Dried Fish +12 units...
Gazing at these newly added slaves, Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat; this is the prelude to a grand endeavor! Da Fei hurriedly checked their attributes:
——Fishman Slave Warrior: Small-sized Ocean Creatures, Attack 2, Defense 1, Damage 1-3, Life 16, Attack Speed 12, Move Speed 12, Stamina 130, Command Value 1, Special Skill: Ocean Creatures, Resource Water Transport.
Resource Water Transport: Fishman slaves can transport 1 unit of resources in the water.
This is the attribute of slave warriors; overall, they are considerably better than the level 1 gunner troops of the Human Race, especially since their Life Value reaches the standard of level 2 troop zombies, living up to the characteristic of Ocean Creatures’ thick blood. As for their special skill being water transport, rather than the crucial level 0 troop skill "Production," that explains a lot.
In other words, these fishman are intellectually inferior and lack production capabilities, unable to serve as a level 0 troop for other races, which leaves Da Fei slightly disappointed. However, being able to produce and deploy in battle means they are like my powerful troop, the Demon Vine! How can fishmen compare to Demon Vine?
Anyway, it’s not important now; since they surrendered, let’s settle them here to guard the place, leaving the island’s food to them and focus on clearing the area quickly.
So, after rapidly completing the resource and body transport, the fleet set off again for the next target, and this time the target did not disappoint Da Fei. The island boasted as many as five Middle-level Naga Warriors. These five warriors once again engaged in frenzied slaughter, offering all slaves and lobsters on the island as sacrifices to complete mutation.
Great! This is the effect Da Fei wanted. With Da Fei’s overwhelming military superiority, there’s no difference between three and five.
Yet another round of observation commenced, followed by another slew of experience, spoils, information on God-level Attack Skill and Master-level Defense Skill.
The battle was destined to be without any suspense from the beginning, as the subsequent events were merely clearing one island after another, recruiting, and observing. Da Fei’s Fishman slaves snowballed to over a thousand. But this number was trivial compared to the entirety of the Naga, and more effort was needed.
Time flew by while grinding monsters, and before realizing it, it was past 1 a.m., with a day having passed in the game.
——System Prompt: You have sailed in a special sea area for over 7 days, you and your team heroes receive God-level Navigator Skill "Sailing Training" bonus experience +840,000, your team gains extra growth potential!
A large number of system prompts flooded the screen:
——System Prompt: Your Follower Hero Tamilia has successfully leveled up to Level 42!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alina has successfully leveled up to Level 43!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alicia has successfully leveled up to Level 47!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Serbia has successfully leveled up to Level 49!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Heroine, Katelina has successfully leveled up to Level 48!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Deirdre has successfully leveled up to Level 48!
After the Saisu Dragon Tomb, the entire family leveled up again! In this sleepy midnight with monotonous monster grinding, this was undoubtedly great news that invigorated Da Fei.
While the entire family leveled up two levels, Da Fei remained firmly at Level 50. This wasn’t just because leveling became more difficult after Level 50, but also because Da Fei had two Contract Angels and a Contracted Dragon Race constantly consuming his experience. At this rate, even if all of Da Fei’s heroes reached Level 50, he might still be stuck at Level 50.
However, these things didn’t matter much; what was crucial was for Deirdre to hurry to Level 50. Deirdre, as an incomplete hero, already didn’t lag behind a normal hero in attributes. Once she officially advanced as a hero, who knows if her attributes might take a giant leap!
So, there was no room for complacency; it was crucial to seize the time for leveling. After a day of sweeping yesterday, there were only a dozen or so islands left in the last part of the sea area. There was plenty of time.
At this moment, Da Fei’s fleet faced the largest of the islets in the sea area. Similarly, it was swarming with Fishman slaves, but the difference was that there was actually a stone cave on the island!
A stone cave, huh? There’s depth in that! Da Fei hurriedly asked the Siren Shadow, "This island seems different!"
The Siren Shadow said solemnly, "Indeed, this is the headquarters of the Naga General who oversees this sea area, but his strength is absolutely beyond your imagination, incomparable to the mid-level warriors empowered by Sea God Power you just dealt with. I don’t recommend you to challenge him."
Da Fei felt a pang in his heart; could it be the legendary High-level Eight-Armed Martial God? Or a hero Naga? Actually, the eight arms don’t matter; the key is there’s a stone cave. My tank can’t get in, and the Angel Army probably can’t deploy to surround the attack—it’s just impossible to fight!
Darn it! I’ve deployed the ultimate mass destruction weapon, bragged shamelessly about annihilating everything, and in the end let the most crucial boss get away. Isn’t that frustrating on purpose? I’ve got a strong compulsion: I feel uncomfortable if I don’t clear the scene!
However, the Siren is right; disregarding the advice of elders courts disaster. I’ll let them off for now, and once I complete the mission and gain the trust of the Siren Clan, I’ll be able to trade medals with the Siren Clan for equipment—right, I noticed their ice armor is quite remarkable. Given the game’s style, it’s definitely equipment specifically designed to enhance singing effects.
And Serbia actually doesn’t have good armor; borrowing Alina’s output Demon Armor isn’t a permanent solution. Once Serbia is equipped, she can either sing to harass the General or, after gaining the Siren’s trust, the Siren can also send troops to help wipe them out.
That’s how it’s decided. Therefore, Da Fei’s fleet circumvented the largest of the islands and began clearing the remaining dozen or so small islands.
The clearing was smooth like breaking a bamboo, but Da Fei noticed something was wrong. Although there were a lot of Fishmen left on these small islands, there weren’t many Naga warriors, and even fewer mid-level warriors!
Hey, hey, hey! Are you kidding? The mission monsters on these remaining small islands aren’t enough! I’m still 21 short of my mission monsters!
Da Fei anxiously said, "Miss Shadow, what’s going on? Didn’t you say there were more than 100 mid-level warriors in this sea area, plenty to complete the mission?"
The Shadow was silent with surprise for a moment before letting out a long sigh, "When the Toxic Blood crisis emerged, the Naga General’s normal reaction should be to gather the elite warriors scattered across the sea area around him, meaning, Warrior, you must face this Naga General and his remaining elite army!"
——Ah, spit! Da Fei spat a mouthful of old blood furiously! Achievements and pitfalls caused by Toxic Blood! Why play like this!
