Chapter 361: The Fourth Crossing |
Wan Fang never expected that, as the map was about to end, a Level 2 Hunting Target would actually take the initiative to run right into their gunsights.
Judging from the point comparison, this Megalodon was even more impressive than the Mosasaur.
But what it encountered was Mogu, who had just been strengthened twice by the Abyssal Sea Ruin and the Ancient Hunting Mausoleum.
Never thought that, right before leaving, such a huge gift would be delivered right to their doorstep.
The newly acquired Function Card was used immediately.
[Function Activated: Level 7 Insight]
[Authority has been upgraded. Current Authority: Level-4 Authority (13/16)]
[Level 7 Insight: Can be used on any target to gain insight into its basic operating rules and deeper underlying rules]
Qin Ziwen thought for a moment, then looked at the bow in his hand and used Insight.
[Weight: 3.4kg]
[Materials: Yew wood, Elm wood, Fish glue...(Expandable)]
[Effective Precision Range: 100 meters]
[Effective Lethal Range: 300 meters]
[Maximum Extreme Range: 600 meters]
[Special Rule: Cannot be taken away from Home; Natural use within the Arrow Gallery causes no wear and tear]
A flash of amazement passed through Qin Ziwen's eyes. The things revealed by Insight were much more detailed than before.
He tried it on many other things and found that the results provided by Insight were indeed much more detailed than previously.
"Not bad at all," Qin Ziwen said, putting away the bow.
After practicing with the bow a bit more, Qin Ziwen went to take a look at the Megalodon that had been transported back.
On the dock next to the ghost shipyard within Home, the Megalodon's massive corpse lay sprawled on the ground.
It emitted a faint fishy smell, somewhat like having a public toilet placed nearby.
The odor was rather pungent.
Qin Ziwen pinched his nose.
"Truly worthy of being a Megalodon, even its smell is stronger than an ordinary shark's."
This meat probably wouldn't be something many people would be willing to eat.
The taste likely wouldn't be very good.
But just because they wouldn't eat it didn't mean others wouldn't.
If the taste is bad, you can add more seasonings and cook it longer.
Little Black One ran over. It excitedly wagged its tail, looked around left and right, then lowered its head, stuck out its tongue, and licked the bloodstains on the ground.
This rather gamey shark meat seemed to hold a special kind of attraction for it.
Do Tarbosaurus like to eat Megalodon?
Qin Ziwen found this novel. He had someone cut off a large chunk of shark meat and toss it to the side. Little Black One, acting furtively, grabbed the meat in its mouth and ran off to a corner to eat it secretly.
Though with its size, how it managed to project such a strong sense of sneakiness was a mystery.
After the Megalodon, the island fell into tranquility.
Qin Ziwen held great expectations for the Basilosaurus from the Level 2 Hunting Ladder.
The Megalodon came, aren't you coming to deliver yourself too?
But in the end, it never came, right up until the final day.
The day before the crossing, at twelve o'clock.
[You have successfully survived for six weeks in the Gobi Desert and Island maps. Current Island map day forty-four. Completed Level 2 tasks on the Hunting Ladder leaderboard, obtained some cards... Comprehensive Score: 2051
Rewards Obtained: [Function Card] Level 1 Settlement, [Advanced Building Card] Random Level 3 Advanced Building*1, [Breakthrough Card] Limit Breakthrough Card*2]
Constructing buildings is not counted in the Comprehensive Score, because a score settlement was already obtained when the cards were acquired.
This time's rewards were relatively simple. However, looking at this situation, it seems a bit difficult to obtain Level 5 Authority on this map.
It can only be considered in the next map.
As for the rewards, although it's just one random advanced building, it's a Random Level 3 Advanced Building, which is actually equivalent to four Level 1 Advanced Buildings.
After storing the cards, Qin Ziwen quietly waited for dawn.
Although there were still some things about this map he hadn't figured out, such as the difficulty of Level 4 Hunting Targets, where the giant beasts that appeared on the sea surface during the heavy rain lived, and what lay beyond the distant seas around the island.
But he didn't plan to continue exploring. On one hand, there wasn't enough time, on the other hand, it wasn't necessary.
The crossing time was at nine in the morning.
This time, the people of the residential complex stood on their balconies, in the complex, and on rooftops, eagerly looking forward with anticipation.
Mixed with a bit of nervousness.
With the experience of two conscious crossings, facing the fourth crossing, many residents were already able to accept it calmly.
Some had even made preparations in advance. In many places, on balconies, in open spaces within the complex, dry bonfire piles were everywhere, just waiting for the crossing. When the time was right, they would light the bonfires.
"Mommy, mommy, are we moving to a new place again?"
"Yes, we're going to a new place," a mother holding her child's hand on the balcony said affectionately, patting the child's head.
"Where is the new place? Are we going home?"
"Not home, we're going into a mountain cave."
"I'm scared of the dark. Will there be bats in the mountain cave?"
"Don't be scared, Mommy will be with you."
....
"In the end, we still have to part ways."
On the distant island, Yang Long and some members of the urban village stood on the beach facing the island reef. The sea breeze blew, and a few crabs scurried through the sand near their feet.
"Brother Long, they're really leaving," Erhu said, a touch of reluctance in his tone.
"Mhm. Once they leave, this island will belong to us," Yang Long said after a moment of silence.
For some reason, Yang Long didn't feel particularly happy deep down. Instead, he felt a sense of oppression.
Erhu said, "They left a few small boats behind, and we've learned how to build ships. We'll build several big ships later."
Yang Long shook his head. "After grasping the principle, building ships isn't hard. The hard part is the things in the sea. Before, we had them. Now, we can only rely on ourselves."
It was clearly a beautiful day today, with clear skies for miles and the sun shining warmly, yet he inexplicably felt a bit cold, just like this vast sea.
Finally, on the island reef ahead, the residential complex was enveloped by a vast expanse of continuous light. The teaching building next to the complex was also swallowed up by the white light at the same time.
It lasted about two or three seconds. The white light dissipated, leaving only an empty island reef behind.
A flicker of confusion passed through Yang Long's eyes. Behind him, someone hung their head and let out low sobs. They didn't know why they were crying either, but they just felt a sense of being abandoned.
"Stop crying, damn it all! Now that the others are gone, all those islands they developed and left behind belong to us. This is a good thing!" Yang Long said impatiently.
After saying that, he turned and headed back towards the urban village. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back at the empty island reef again.
"They're gone! With their kind of crossing, each time is more dangerous than the last. Maybe we'll live longer than them."
....
"Big brother, is this the Underground Cavern? I feel like the surroundings are so vast and empty."
Qin Ziwu looked around. Their residential complex was currently located in a pitch-black environment.
Rewind to one minute ago.
The surrounding environment gradually faded, then the sky above seemed to be covered by a mysterious giant hand.
The light grew dimmer and dimmer.
The environment also grew darker and darker.
Until finally, the entire residential complex was swallowed by a mysterious darkness.
Immediately after, from beside the complex, waves of screams suddenly arose.
"Ahhh——"
"What's going on!"
"Why can't I see anything around?"
"It's so dark."
"Is there a blackout?"
Wave after wave of voices echoed within the mountain cave, creating layers of reverberation.
Qin Ziwen's attention was drawn by the Home Settlement.
