Chapter 28 Brothers, I found a bucket
Yu Yuan, Xiao Wolong, and the other three received a series of missions due to a secret letter.
After a series of twists and turns, with the help of an undercover agent, they finally disguised themselves as pirates and successfully infiltrated the breeding island.
They behaved themselves during the daytime celebrations, but at night, the four of them secretly met up to prepare for their first infiltration.
"Hey, a low-level invisibility potion, is it reliable? Will it explode?" Zhenyu pulled out a tube of transparent potion.
The solution inside looks sticky and has a "glitter" effect, very much like her cosmetics.
"No problem, I'll drink it then," Xiao Wolong said without hesitation, downing his drink in one gulp. "The taste is alright."
His body became semi-transparent, and at the same time, a "basic invisibility" status appeared in the player status list, lasting for 2 hours.
Seeing that Xiao Wolong hadn't exploded, everyone drank it down in turn.
There are reasons why they hesitated and dared not take a bite.
The main thing is that this game is a bit strange; the potions are different from those in other games...
Having experienced the trials of the Mysterious Treasure Chest Merchant and the various contraband items in Wheatbee Alley that were called potions but were actually projectiles and explosives, players now share a consensus:
Medicine is not necessarily something you drink.
Even if it says it can be used, it might be better used externally, or even thrown away.
Moreover, the veteran alchemist who provided them with the potions didn't seem very reliable.
He was saying something like "Homage to Lord Loshi of Akasha," but everything he created had a chance of exploding...
I have no idea who this "Roxi" is.
The four of them whispered among themselves as they made their way to the entrance of the spiral path.
"The Path of Sacrifice, is it a new map?" Yu Yuan, as the main tank, was the first to step in without hesitation: "Let's go, this time we're guaranteed a first clear!"
However, his actions weren't as forceful as his tone.
He unloaded his weapons and equipment, put them in his backpack, curled up, and carefully squeezed through the gap between the four fishman guardians.
He's only level 30, and there are already four level 40 elites standing at the entrance before he even gets to the new map...
It wasn't that he was a coward; the main reason was that the mission required him to infiltrate the altar and investigate.
Yes, that's correct.
Yu Yuan waved and called to his teammates through the gap.
The sacrificial path was unusually busy at night, teeming with fish and large monsters, the worst of which were level 30.
They have one thing in common: they go in a hurry with eager eyes, and return blushing and swaying, as if they are performing some strange ritual.
The four of them dodged the fourth wave of mermen who were advancing in groups, and Little Crouching Dragon couldn't help but speak up:
"This dungeon is tough! Why are all these murloc elites here so late at night? Are they working overtime?"
"I think you're right. We need to hurry. Maybe we can pull off something and get a hidden achievement or something," Zhenyu replied, suddenly quickening her pace to overtake Yuyuan.
They're all invisible, so there's no need for T to go in front.
"Wait, look here!" At the back of the group, Du Ge suddenly stopped and squatted down.
He pointed to three shallow tire tracks on the roadside, his brow furrowing slightly. "Why do these tire tracks look so familiar?"
"A clue?" Upon hearing this, the other three jogged back, gathered together, and bent down.
"Hmm~ You do look familiar." Yu Yuan rubbed his chin, unable to recall where he had seen you before.
"Oh ho, isn't that the three-wheeled treasure chest?" Little Crouching Dragon recognized it at a glance.
The reason is nothing more than a popular post on the forum titled "Mysterious Treasure Chest Merchant's Anecdotes".
It contains information on various aspects of mysterious treasure chests, including their shape, appearance, location, and movement patterns.
Of course, wheel tracks are also indispensable, as they are an important basis for analyzing the traces of merchants.
"Wait, let me post a question!" Xiao Wolong casually took a picture and threw it into the forum before anyone could stop him.
"Fine, it'll do to confirm..." Du Ge said helplessly.
Originally, it was a hidden mission, a sneak in, but now they've pulled this stunt, which will probably attract a huge crowd of onlookers.
"They told me to turn on the video so I can see it clearly," Xiao Wolong asked his teammates for their opinion.
"Go ahead and do it," Du Ge waved his hand, "Just treat it as a live stream of a hidden quest, anyway they won't be able to get here anytime soon."
According to his observation, among the pirates on the same ship, there should only be four players, and the rest were NPCs.
Even if other players want to come, they'll have to wait for the next batch, which will be about a day or two later. It shouldn't affect their ability to complete the mission.
Before long, a heated discussion broke out on the forum:
"I measured the angles of the three wheels, and they are exactly as they were, except the spacing is a little too wide."
"The depth of the tire tracks is not right; they seem much deeper than in the previous drifting photos. (Attached: Comparison photos)"
"Perhaps the mysterious merchant has simply grown larger. After all, given the ancient technology, his appearance could very well be a disguise."
"Where is the streamer? This looks like there's a hidden quest going on."
Xiao Wolong casually replied, "The island of reproduction, the road of sacrifice."
He had other things to do, so he decided to start a timed poll and check the results later.
The four followed the wheel tracks as they moved forward, dodging the fish-men who came and went.
With the medicine half-acted, we finally arrived at our destination: a simple hut.
The door was wide open, and fish were crammed together inside, shouting loudly.
"You're of low rank, let this priest go first!"
"Drinking doesn't discriminate by rank; I, the fish, was in line first!"
"Don't push! The wine barrels the pirates brought will keep overflowing with fine wine!"
Is this also part of the dramatic performance?
But what is the purpose of this performance? Is it to highlight the unity of the merfolk?
Yu Yuan and the other three looked at each other, feeling that the large supermarket in front of them seemed familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere not long ago.
The other three huddled together to discuss the plan. Little Wolong, having nothing better to do, reopened the forum and found that there were already three thousand votes.
80% of the votes went to option one: "The appearance of ancient technology is just a disguise; this is the mysterious merchant's barrel."
The live chat exploded with comments: "Isn't this just like the scene at the outpost before, except the players have been replaced by monsters?"
"The planning is quite interesting; they actually added game easter eggs based on player behavior."
This reminded him.
"It seems to be a mysterious merchant. I'll go take a look ahead."
He called out, covered his mouth and nose, squeezed into the room, found a box, jumped onto it, stood still, and looked at the center of the fish school.
A barrel?
You can get "fine wine" by throwing in equipment, materials, and gold coins... and there are three wheels at the bottom?
It matches perfectly, it matches perfectly!
"Brothers, look what I found! The treasure chest has turned into a treasure bucket, and the contents are some kind of culinary disaster! I have to go now, so I'm ending the video."
Xiao Wolong turned off the live stream, rushed out of the room in three quick steps, his voice slightly distorted:
"There's a treasure bucket inside! This place definitely has a hidden quest!"
"Treasure bucket?" No one understood what Little Crouching Dragon was saying.
"It's just my treasure chest," Little Crouching Dragon explained, "It uses ancient technology to transform into a wine barrel, and sells wine inside!"
"That's amazing!" Yu Yuan asked in surprise. "It even does business with wild monsters?"
