Chapter 800 - 758: God-level Navigator’s Additional Reward
After hanging up Little Li’s call, Da Fei felt a sudden surge of relief as he enjoyed the night breeze blowing through the window, the aroma of night barbecue wafting up from downstairs, and the hustle and bustle of the streets.
It must be said that Little Li’s call really pulled him back to reality from the relentless hell of self-torture. This feeling is like suddenly opening the oven door and breathing freely again! Speaking of which, is it the legendary ’a great man hides himself in the city’ when a badass like me rents an apartment and goes online in such a busy alley? Wahahaha!
After going to the bathroom and washing his face to adjust his mood, Da Fei logged back in.
Now that Da Fei was calm, he didn’t bother to think about whether the Lava River supported the Sailing Skill, as there was no way to test it. Since the ship was stolen and lacked a ship certificate, Da Fei couldn’t open the ship’s attribute panel to know its basic speed and current speed.
Da Fei also didn’t think about where this ship would drift to, because he had no control over it. He was like a lone boat lost in the vast sea, with no choice but to leave it to fate.
Da Fei didn’t even want to think about the current situation of the European Union Divine Punishment City, whether another wave of Abyss Lord reinforcements had arrived or not. In any case, he couldn’t save them, and he didn’t want to either.
Da Fei only wanted one thing now—wait! Wait for the cooling time of Elda’s space marker to pass in three days, and then he could teleport directly back to the city.
And waiting had its advantages because this was the harshest water in the world, a place that no navigator, not even the legendary Odyssey, could reach. Odyssey wandered the sea for ten years and emerged as a God-level Navigator, won’t my three-day drift help me challenge the limits to acquire a God-level Navigation Skill?
Thinking this way, Da Fei suddenly found that drifting was no longer so boring and hopeless. Indeed, a person needs the belief to strive and struggle on. The harsher and more desperate the hell, the more so!
Time slipped away like the rushing Lava River. Despite his continuous failures at training, Da Fei noticed that his stamina restoration rate during rest slowed down further, and his health depletion speed increasingly exceeded the recovery capacity of his equipment, necessitating constant angelic spellcasting to maintain it.
Then how long can the angels’ spellcasting last? Da Fei realized again the gravity of the situation! Indeed, the longer you stay in the pot, the more tender the ribs get, right? Now Da Fei even doubted if he could survive three days in the hot pot river. If he couldn’t sustain for three days and fail to learn to row ashore, his team would die of the heat here. Wouldn’t that make him the world’s biggest joke?
No no no! There is still hope that Elda could regain her power and return to her Angel Body after awakening. Then, I could entrust the entire team to her to return to the city first, allowing me to smile at the Yellow Spring, right?
Oh, and there are so many boxes of liquor on this ship? When a sea voyage runs out of water and food, liquor can sustain the sailors’ lives for a long time, not to mention that as a God-level Navigator with a survival skill in extreme conditions, it should be fine.
But then again, what brand is the liquor in hell? What is it brewed from?
Curious, Da Fei pulled out a dark red bottle that resembled a wine bottle from the crate.
——Bloody Girl: A specialty liquor of hell, Grade 3 Blood Wine, brewed with the virgin blood of young and beautiful human girls. It’s a high-grade and precious hell blood wine favored by mid-level demon nobles and vampires. (Warning: Non-demonic entities may experience unknown consequences from consuming it!)
Damn it! Da Fei was startled into a shiver! Hell truly lives up to its reputation; can this wine be drunk? But if I really can’t survive these three days and Elda can’t wake up, there’s no choice but to drink whatever’s available!
Da Fei suddenly realized the furniture on the ship didn’t have wood-like grain texture, so he began to inspect it painfuledly:
——Flying Dragon Bone Chair: Grade 3 Furniture, a bone chair made from the lightweight and robust bones of an adult Hell Flying Dragon.
Damn it! Again with this tone! Fortunately, it’s not furniture made from human bones.
Now Da Fei couldn’t help but admire the hell undead players greatly. After just an hour in the hot pot, I’m on the edge of impatience and discomfort. How do these players level up and grow in such a suppressive and insane space? In the end, it’s I who lacks the state of mind; I need to stay calm!
Just as Da Fei continued to train his army in failure but calmly, a red light suddenly exploded in front of him, and a huge red dot appeared near the giant paddle ship on the radar:
——System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! A powerful creature is approaching your army, please prepare to respond!
Da Fei was shocked and looked in the direction of the radar warning, only to see a gigantic river monster, all aflame, rapidly surfacing from the riverbed!
Da Fei’s jaw dropped to the ground! Damn it, a gigantic River Monster in the Lava River! This is a tier higher than ordinary Sea Monsters, can this even be fought? What to do? Fight? Even the Reconnaissance Skill warns it’s a "powerful creature"! With its whale-like size, it could probably capsize the giant paddle ship by ramming it!
Wait, calm down! The creature is only approaching; it hasn’t entered combat stage yet. As long as it hasn’t entered combat, I can either run away or hide! Running is not an option, but hiding is!?
At that moment, Da Fei remembered how he used the Stealth State to hide in the leaf boat given by Tachiusu and drifted into the vortex of the Otherworld under the surveillance of Blood Lake Monsters, eventually finding the Vine Space. Looks like I have no choice but to repeat my old trick! Whether I can evade it depends on my skills and luck!
——System Prompt: You activated the God-level Reconnaissance Technique sub-skill "Phantom March", and your entire army entered Stealth State.
Now, all of Da Fei’s angels stopped rowing and quietly turned into Shadows to lurk in the cabin. The red dot on the radar got closer and bigger. Its speed wasn’t fast; if the angels could row, running away wouldn’t be a problem, but they couldn’t, so Da Fei had no choice but to resort to bluffing by playing an empty city ploy!
In the continuously blasting alarm and red lights on the screen, the River Monster approached—bang! A slight tremor occurred as the River Monster made a probing bump against the hull. At that instant, Da Fei’s heart seemed to fall into the abyss of hell!
However, no combat ensued! This indicates that his stealth was effective! Da Fei’s hope reignited. Now all he had to do was wait! Patiently wait!
Now, the giant river monster is constantly hovering around the giant paddle ship, making tentative collisions, and is reluctant to leave with great interest. Da Fei’s troops are huddled in the cabin, not daring to move for a long time, watching helplessly as their life force slowly decreases in the scorching oven, yet not daring to take action to heal!
Da Fei’s patience was completely worn out, and in his mind, he cursed a million times over! It’s my fault! If I’d known earlier, I’d have simply fought it out rather than hold it in until I die! Now with life points dropping over half, there’s even less ability to fight! There’s no other way, having chosen to play dead, I have to stick it out to the end!
Time passed second by second, and the blood volume of Da Fei’s troops became less and less. With Da Fei’s life reduced by half, the Power Angel with only 350 points of basic blood volume was already on the brink of death.
Da Fei closed his eyes in despair, there’s no choice, go in peace, as long as I have the chance, I’ll definitely resurrect you all—provided this isn’t some Volcanic Flame Zone, and Resurrection Technique doesn’t screw me! But even if it gets ruined, I’ve got the Light Amplitude Potion to improve the Resurrection Technique effect and bring you all back.
——System Prompt: Your 4 Power Angels have fallen in this harsh environment, your God-level Navigator sub-skill "survival will" activates, 4 Power Angels are in a near-death state.
The death-defying special skill of survival will activated! Da Fei was immediately relieved, this is truly a rare piece of good news in an egg-crushing hell!
Although the 50% increase in life and stamina attributes from survival will was cut down to only 12%, as long as the effect of not dying still exists, Da Fei’s previous training efforts with the angels haven’t gone to waste—right, even if the training keeps failing, Da Fei believes experience points were accumulated.
If an angel died, then even if resurrected, the accumulated training experience would be completely cleared. This is also the insight experts gained during the public test while training elite troops: If a troop dies once, it’s almost impossible to grow into an elite later.
However, now is not the time for Da Fei to be happy about this. It’s still uncertain if Da Fei can even hang on until help arrives!
Finally, the Power Angels with a base blood volume of 450 points couldn’t hold on any longer.
——System Prompt: Your 13 Power Angels have fallen in this harsh environment, your God-level Navigator sub-skill "survival will" activates...
At this moment, Da Fei was so angry that his lips were about to bleed from biting! Only 3 of my team are left, will it ever end!? How much more agony does this game want to put me through?! Do I have to become a god, then come back to kill this water monster a thousand times over, ten thousand times over?!
And just then, the river monster finally turned and swam away, slowly diving and leaving until it disappeared from the radar.
Da Fei was in mixed disbelief at his extraordinary stroke of luck: "It just left like that?"
"Yes, playing dead until you seem truly dead is the best way to deceive a monster!" It was Elda’s voice!
Da Fei turned around, and sure enough, saw Elda, looking exhausted, getting up from the table, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Miss Elda, you’re awake!?"
Elda replied irritably, "With such a huge threat beside me, how could I sleep?—I’m dying of thirst!" As she spoke, Elda pulled a bottle of Blood Wine from the wine chest and gulped it down straight from the bottle!
Da Fei was dumbfounded! Good grief! Can you even drink that? But if you must, go ahead. It’s better than dying of thirst. For now, let’s quickly have Elifel save people.
As the golden light of the Resurrection Technique rose, the fallen angels were successively revived, and Da Fei was moved to tears! It feels so good when resurrection works normally, it feels so good not being in agony!
And just as Da Fei hastily took time to reorganize the troops, a series of system prompts scrolled across the screen:
——System Prompt: You and your team heroes gain extra God-level Navigator experience +370,000 for navigating in the special water domain for over a day, you gain additional free attribute points +3, your team gains additional growth potential!
——System Prompt: Your Wisdom Angel Elifel Angel gained growth during harsh navigation, Attack +15, Defense +15, Health +300, Stamina +30.
——System Prompt: Your Power Angel Army gained growth during harsh navigation, Attack +5, Defense +5, Health +100, Stamina +10.
——System Prompt: Your Power Angel Army gained growth during harsh navigation, Attack +3, Defense +6, Health +100, Stamina +10.
.....
Looking at this sudden row of system information, Da Fei was stunned for a good while before coming back to his senses!
The information actually came from the Navigator?! That’s right, usually, the Navigator’s daily sailing only gives a few hundred experience, and God-level Navigator gives a measly 2,000 experience, but it never said that the Navigator can give an extra 370,000 experience! Not to mention extra attribute points, or training troops!
Could it be, this is the so-called special water domain bonus for Navigators?
Indeed, the Navigator is inherently an incomplete profession that requires players to complete it themselves, and here, as the world’s harshest water domain, it should logically give such high extra rewards, at least because, with ordinary troops, who could last a day here?
Finally realizing this, Da Fei laughed heartily to the heavens, accepting reality!: Haha, wow hahaha!
