Chapter 601 - The Fourth Base

However, from judging a piece of Legendary equipment, the double-handed sword that Phoenix has gotten, its attributes and properties are very common.
The attack power reached 1000 points, a double-handed weapon of a close-combat class required sufficient conditions such as strength, speed, and angle in order to perform its attack at its limit.
Although the 80-point attribute bonus was not low, such points were just a mere pass for the main weapon.
As for additional skills, there was no effect until Phoenix awakened her Force. After all, it was not smart to waste a Life Force Elixir just to experience an additional property.
What Feng Luo felt was commendable was the rare property of this long sword: a 100% chance of destruction of below B-Grade defense.
It was important to note that, at this stage, it was near impossible for one to find B-Grade armor other than Legendary equipment and the Rare quality heavy shields for heavy fighters.
This meant that Phoenix could cut the other classes, or even players from the same class wearing light armor, in two with this sword, as if she were cutting fruits and vegetables. (Of course, because of the body of the players, this would not usually occur.)
This was also why even with full force, Neutron Star was unable to cut the vines earlier, and the reason why Pheonix was able to slice through it so easily.
As for why Phoenix still chose to exchange for such a weapon, which merely passed its standards, despite the many options from the Agent Equipment Wearhouse.
There was nothing more to talk about for this reason…
…
“How are the players from North City moving…”
After clearing the third research base on Lake Heart Island in the heart of the swamp and obtaining a powdered elixir that could reverse the effects of the temporal petrification by the Tyrannosaurus Earthworm, the team, after losing a few members, continued with their operations as they walked towards the fourth base.
In the small command group in the Nine-Star Guild, Zi Wei spoke to the player wearing the scientist glasses.
“According to the energy fluctuations from the second simulation biometric instrument, it should still be in the second base on their side of the island.” That player was carrying an instrument with a map of the devil’s triangle island with many different colored dots and very complicated data.
“They’ve only just reached the second base? Is this location accurate?” Zi Wei frowned slightly.
“I’m not entirely sure. The signal interference on this island is too severe and there may be some errors. Unfortunately, the monsters on this island are too aggressive, otherwise, only by sending someone to dive over or by sending flying pets to observe them from the skies, you can guarantee their location.” The player wearing the scientist’s glasses shook his head when he spoke.
“There’s no need to do that yet. In terms of timing, they have no way to affect our clearing of the fourth base in front of us.” Zi Wei seemed to be falling into deep thought. “You continue with what you’re doing, report to me once there is news.”
“Okay, Chairman Zi Wei.” The player wearing the scientist’s glasses said.
…
“Uncle Lin, what do you think?” As she parted ways from this player, Zi Wei turned to the Heavy Armor Warrior that was protecting her, as she asked him with a respectful tone.
“I’m not sure, but in theory, the difficulty of each base should not differ a lot, plus, their first three bases are a lot closer as compared to ours…” The Heavy Armor Warrior said as he opened his mouth under the mask, he had a slight old tone in his voice.
“You’re saying…” A light flashed in front of Zi Wei’s pair of eyes.
“There is always this possibility, we must make the necessary arrangements.” The Heavy Armor Warrior with an older voice said.
“Well, yes, the question of treachery. Do you have a suspect?” Zi Wei nodded and asked.
“According to the course and performance of the battle, we roughly circled 13 people, of which 10 are scattered players, while three are from the guild itself.” The old voice under the mask said.
“Amongst them, there is a person that might require more attention…” The heavy-armored soldier opened his personal terminal, where the pop-up screen showed the face of a Scout with a sneer on his face.
…
Half an hour later, sometime after midnight, the players from Storm City finally entered the fourth base, into a thick and condensed forest.
“Hopefully, this time, there won’t be those weird monsters again.” Black Panther, who had been silent throughout, suddenly uttered a sentence.
He had only obtained four pet chips in his first three bases, three of them were obtained from the first base with the toxic lizards.
The latter two types of creatures were over-restrictive for Snipers.
“Hopefully so.” Feng Luo shook his head, his facial expression was not pleasant either.
Although he had gotten the first Quasi-Boss Chip, no one would complain if they got too many of such things, for the two types of creatures afterward, he really had no way to go about killing them.
“Click, click, click…”
“Heavy Armored Warriors, ready to cover. Scouts, test the attack…” By this time, there had been a burst of submachine gunfire and the sound of the line of a fire command.
“Have they encountered the creature?” Hearing the sound of this battle, the group of people sped up and walked towards the front, after a few seconds, their field of vision widened.
By this time, the dark forest which was restricting their vision had disappeared, in front of them was a small hill roughly 200-300 meters tall that was “bald” and had no vegetation on it.
The monster that was being attacked by the players was on that bald, rocky hill.
“Feng Luo, I am suspecting that the first Quasi-Boss Chip you obtained used up all of your good luck?” Big Pineapple looked down at Feng Luo strangely as he said that.
At that time, the creature that was battling the players was yet another creature, in theory, which was super disadvantageous for Snipers.
Rock Ball, Base Level: 50, a creature that had 10000 health points.
The oddly named creature had an appearance that looked like a spherical black rock which was more than a meter in diameter.
In addition to its ability to move, the surface of this monster’s body was made from a defensive substance. There was no doubt that it was rock and was actually an extremely tough type of rock.
“Pop, pop, pop…”
“-29, -37,-32…”
When the Scouts from the Nine-Star Guild shot their bullets onto that rocky shell when they first discovered these targets, the bullets, which were slightly off in their angle, immediately flew off after creating some obvious sparks, creating damage counters which were not even reaching 50 points.
“Bang!”
“-235… -241…”
Only a few bullets, hit from a frontal angle close to ninety degrees and hitting a few cracks in the rocky shell, could cause damage counters above one-hundred.
This creature was only of a normal level. On the opposite hill, more than half were Elite level.
“The physical defense of these monsters is comparable to the sharks that you’ve come across before.” Green Arrow dropped the empty submachine gun and frowned.
She had just cleared a full magazine, only to end up hitting the target for less than two thousand health points.
“Boom!”
“-690!”
A hot ball of energy flew past and hit the rock monster.
“It’s not just physical defense, this thing also has a high elemental resistance.” Red Queen said, throwing a fireball over, having possessed legendary equipment. In theory, the concentrated fireball should have caused 4000 damage, but in reality, it had only caused less than 700 in damage.
…
“Bang!”
“-934!”
“How can its defense be so ridiculous?” Feng Luo thought, knowing that it was not just him and his group.
Invikill and that Elementalist on the other side also frowned after they launched their attacks.
Invikill had a complete Legendary Sniper gun with B-Grade special bullets. In the end, a shot on the Elite-Grade creature, could not exceed 1000 in damage as well.
…
“The defense is so ridiculous, that’s a good thing.” On the other side, a certain Scout player revealed a sneer and joy instead of his face.
“This way, the fourth base can finally consume the reserve supplies of Storm City. At best, compared to the bases before, it would cause a lot more deaths. And by then…” His sights carried some vengeance, as he sneakily stared towards Feng Luo’s position. “That Quasi-Boss Chip would be added to my collection of loot.”
