Chapter 932 - 878: Da Wei’s Heaven-Defying Tracking Arrow
After the tour, Samael continued drinking, while Hilda borrowed the staff room to start designing plans for army camp integration. The bar was temporarily managed by the half-blood dark elf dancer. Da Fei seized the moment to continue hanging up and sleeping.
Mitsubishi Team Headquarters.
Now, the time of absolute misfortune for the God-level Hero Mobility Master in the Japan area has passed for a day and a half in real time. The initial plan for Japan was "3 days to destroy the Elf Kingdom," first relying on the Destiny Coin to capture the Pool of Radiance within 2 hours, and then using the absolute misfortune power of the Destiny Coin to dismantle the important strongholds of the Elf Kingdom in one day, clearing obstacles for the deployment of the NPC Infernal Forces army. Then they would aim to capture the capital of the Elf Kingdom within a day, leaving one day to figure out a way to enter the Divine Punishment City in Hell, striking down the Human Race NPC from top to bottom.
The first step was successfully completed; the Pool of Radiance was already taken by Hell Power, only the barrier of the World Tree was barely holding on.
But the second step encountered problems. After the initial loss of several strongholds by the Elf Kingdom NPC, the NPCs became smarter and refused to attack regardless. Mitsubishi Team fell into a deadlock in the siege warfare, wasting precious time second by second.
At this time, Da Fei’s Beelzebub rumor was known worldwide, and the terrifying combat power of Beelzebub deeply shocked the Japan area. Therefore, the Mitsubishi Team weighed the pros and cons and decisively changed the main direction, planning to use the power of absolute misfortune to acquire their own high-level troops.
The Mitsubishi Team’s challenge was the high-level limited-time instance, Minos Maze. The trick of this instance was that it required staking the reputation of all participating team members; the higher the reputation staked, the better the instance’s drops. Simply put, it meant bragging in front of the Demon King, and only bursting the bragging would the Demon King open the instance for players. If defeated, everyone knew the consequences.
The reason why the Mitsubishi Team chose this instance for the challenge was because the maze’s final BOSS, the Minotaur Milotaurus, was a pure physical attack BOSS. In front of him, 1000 defense and 0 defense made no difference; a single strike was an instant kill. He truly embodied the perfect Lethal Strike!
However, it was precisely because he was pure physical attack that it gave the opportunity for absolute misfortune to reverse the situation, allowing it to miss its attacks frequently and fall into various special skill negative states.
Overall, the BOSS was not the difficulty as the Mitsubishi Team imagined; the challenge was the ever-changing maze.
The fifteen Lord-level challenge members of the Mitsubishi Team had already been lost in the maze for several hours, while the staff team of the Mitsubishi Team was behind the scenes employing all calculation methods to analyze the maze with all their might. If they could not overcome this "simplest" instance, then they would surely fail at any instance challenging high-level entities.
As time ticked away, the entire Mitsubishi Team Command Center was busy and solemn.
Meanwhile, at 5 am Beijing Time, Ono Shinichiro, having worked all night, tiredly made a cup of hot coffee to refresh himself.
Ono Shinichiro spent the entire night collecting data and scouting intelligence. Starting from the initial appearance of Beelzebub, then shifting to large guild operations in the China Region, suspected of discovering Beelzebub’s recruitment path, analyzing Red Name Village’s tasks, and further discovering the unusual large-scale movements in the Star Imperial Family Bloodrose Guild, and so on, leaving him utterly overwhelmed.
More stressful than exhaustion was the mental strain. China’s region started making various large-scale moves; how was the progress of my Great Japanese Empire?
Originally, changing the target of a divine artifact was a major taboo, and failure would lead to falling into an abyss and eternal doom.
As he was caught in this dilemma, the phone rang. Ono jolted in surprise, like a shock, and checked the caller ID—it was Igarashi! Surely, the instance’s time limit was about to be up; this battle was crucial for our Japan area’s fate!
Ono, trembling with excitement, answered the phone, "President? How’s the progress?"
The voice on the other end laughed: "Ono-kun, let me tell you some good news. Our Japanese warriors have successfully conquered the Milos Maze, obtained the Divine Artifact Milos Beheading Axe, acquired the recruitment blueprint for high-level troop type Milota, Dark Maze..."
At that instant, all of Ono Shinichiro’s fatigue vanished, and he nearly swooned with happiness...
...
5:30 am Beijing Time.
After an all-night towing, the Whaler Team arrived at the Man-eating Flying Fish Sea. It had to be said, this long-lasting and tedious nature of sea navigation was crippling; the time spent on the road far exceeded the normal time spent in instances killing mobs and leveling up several times over. If the experience in this Flying Fish Sea didn’t yield several times the normal mob bashing, then the trip would be in vain.
At this moment, the leading Seven Seas Dominator was announcing in the team channel: "We’ve arrived, we’ve arrived! All those on standby, sleeping, get up for work! Hey, hey, hey, global ranks 64th and 16th experts, it’s time to work..."
"Finally here..." Yang Qian, sleeping with her helmet on, groggily opened her eyes and replied in the channel: "Waiting! Restroom..."
Seven Seas Dominator: "Everyone up and to the restroom!"
Last night, when the four arrived at the meeting point, they were astounded to find that the experts calling for a team were actually members of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce.
For Da Fei of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce, the four shared painful memories that were still fresh. Back then, the Royal Guild fiercely sought to confront Da Fei, offering high salaries throughout the China Region to hire medium-ship owner players, with Seven Seas Dominator and others happily accepting the invitation with the intention to meet the legendary Da Fei. Simultaneously, they would seize this opportunity to get to know other medium-ship players in the China Region. After all, it was also about rivalry, seeing where they stood.
The subsequent events were known by all, Da Fei completely overwhelmed them as he passed by, shattering the confidence of countless medium-ship owners.
Most of these ship owners accepted the official invitation of the Royal Guild and joined, but the sympathetic Seven Seas Dominator, Magic Jelly, Cold Blooded Ice River, and Lonely Frog became friends, rejecting the invitation from large guilds, choosing the path of developing a small partnership group.
The four supported each other through difficult tasks, quickly rising from the depths to make a name for themselves as bounty hunters in Tarolan. Wherever there was an opportunity, their mobile fleet would be there.
When Bai Huasha announced on the regional channel, they couldn’t afford to miss the chance. However, learning that even these two renowned masters had joined Da Fei’s guild was simply unbelievable.
Still, they wouldn’t dare say Da Fei was their enemy, knowing they weren’t worthy. Did Da Fei remember killing them? Moreover, it wasn’t even Da Fei who was piloting the ship. So despite feeling frustrated, they decided to pretend nothing happened and started grouping up for the raid.
At the time, Yang Qian woke the sleeping Tang Yan: "Miss, time to get up and brush your teeth, wash your face and get to work!"
Tang Yan asked in surprise: "What work?"
Yang Qian laughed: "Of course it’s the new plot I developed last night. Let’s get started; it’ll take at least three or four hours."
Tang Yan glanced at her phone and sighed: "How many days have we skipped classes?"
Yang Qian laughed: "Why worry about classes! As long as we score 60 points and pass the thesis, it’s all good!"
Tang Yan sighed: "I’m just worried we won’t even get 60 points at this rate."
Yang Qian replied irritably: "It’s only been a few days since term started and you’re worried about finals already. Can’t believe you... Come on, come on, they’re urging us..."
At 5:40, team members reported in full.
Bai Huasha briefly went over the strategy. It was simple; their medium ship’s task was to tow the three Golden Spider Webs from Whaler into place, then shrink! None of the sailors should appear on deck—fight from the gun cabin if you can.
Then Bai Huasha said to Da Wei: "When the battle starts, shoot like crazy, don’t get yourself killed."
Da Wei nodded: "No problem."
Bai Huasha thought silently, no problem my foot! You’re the one I’m most worried about, along with that Harem Beauty. They say this Harem Beauty is the alt of Fleeting Blossom, the top female lord of China—a notable figure. As for you, just don’t drag us down.
The action began, and the fleet spread out the large net moving towards the map’s center. Soon the sea was billowing like a boiling cauldron—Flying Fish! Thousands upon thousands of Flying Fish flapping their fins in a thunderous buzzing rush towards the fleet!
At this moment, even the self-proclaimed experts Yang Qian and Tang Yan were shocked by the display! Will this work? Please, don’t let things go wrong!
Meanwhile, in the team channel, the Seven Seas Dominator and others were shouting excitedly: "Experience! It’s all experience! Our all-night march paid off!"
Magic Jelly exclaimed: "Beauty experts! It’s all up to you now!"
Bai Huasha, feeling cornered, gritted her teeth: "Prepare for battle! Give it your all!"
Da Wei had already drawn his bow: "Got it!"
At that moment, the massive swarm of Flying Fish buzzed towards them like a low-hanging cloud of water! Even if 90% of these fish couldn’t land on Whaler’s deck, the remaining 10% would be enough trouble.
"Fire!" Bai Huasha shouted, and hundreds from the Shooter Corps unleashed their arrows from the deck! At the same moment, a green glow flickered from Da Wei’s bow, a green spark whistled out!
In that instant, Yang Qian and Tang Yan’s brows jumped! They saw that green spark didn’t travel in a straight line, but danced among the fish, killing one with each leap leaving a "-10 piercing damage" in red text. This one arrow pierced over ten fish!
But it wasn’t over; Da Wei’s second green arrow was already fired! The second arrow also darted up and down the fish swarm like a missile—strangely precise!
At that moment, Yang Qian and Tang Yan shouted in shock: "Tracking arrows!!?"
Da Wei casually replied: "Yeah, it’s guided arrows, hurry, I’m low on mana!"
Yang Qian and Tang Yan were stunned! He actually mastered such a high-level mysterious arrow skill!
Normally, arrows fly straight or curve slightly; even with damage in the hundreds or thousands, in dense enemy formations, it’s hard to kill multiple foes with a single arrow. Most of the damage is wasted as the arrows fall to the ground.
To sum up, in many cases, an archer dealing hundreds of damage and one dealing below twenty made little difference—each arrow only kills a couple at most among the enemy. But Da Wei’s tracking arrows were entirely different! They don’t fall to the ground, can curve at will! The arrows stay in motion, damage ongoing! With just one arrow, he could take down dozens of foes—defying logic! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it on qidian.com with recommendation or monthly votes.
