King from scratch

kingdom.

He Xingwen stared at the altar for a moment, seeing that the number of npcs in the golden light suddenly decreased by five.

The murderous aura on He Xingwen's body suddenly increased. He clicked on the information reserve center with a blank face. In the column of relevant information about the people of the kingdom, there are 12 npc-related information densely packed, which is enough to dispel the idea of ​​looking for subtle changes.

Except for He Xingwen, he hung up.

The system thoughtfully marked the five npcs whose health status changed from injured to dead for him, without inflammation.

He Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief.

The difference between the acquaintances he has been in contact with and the data he has never been in contact with is very obvious. He will feel sad for the death of a familiar person, but it is difficult to give too much emotional projection to a strange existence that he has never been in contact with. It is a bit cruel to say that. But human beings are such individual cruel beings.

"King, I have contacted Yan." Huang hurried over to report the latest progress to He Xingwen: "The situation is a bit complicated..."

He Xingwen finally glanced at the light screen in the column of information about the people of the kingdom in the information reserve center, and reached out to close the light screen.

Among the huge data that was suddenly closed, a line of information flickered slightly.

[npc name: Hai, health status: injured. 】

The huge golden dragon galloped over the South China Sea, its golden pupils scanned the vast and unsettled sea, gave up the idea of ​​visually searching for the expedition team in the South China Sea, moved its nose slightly, and discerned the faint human breath from the smell of sea water coming from its nostrils.

A little difficult.

I don't know why, but there seems to be human traces everywhere in the South China Sea, as if someone got lost and wandered all over the South China Sea...

Nubida, who was expressionless and couldn't see any guilt at all, sneezed, looked back at the temporary resurrection point he carried with him - the white light that kept lighting up next to the tool man NPC, and learned a profound lesson - there is no king. If you are a diamond, don't take the porcelain work of players.

Not everyone can control disorderly players, not even demons.

Jinlong failed to locate the location of the South China Sea Expedition Team, and he was not at all frustrated. He even came up with a new method - the power of money can always make the dragon clan burst into amazing motivation.

Tuol Jin changed his search for clues, looking for the breath belonging to Du Dolan in the complex mixture of breaths.

He found the right direction. As extinct creatures, all the Du Dolan in the South Sea could only come from the Kingdom.

The golden dragon smelled his target from thousands of scents, flicked his tail, and galloped towards a certain direction.

This is a very difficult thing to do - to smell the breath of a certain creature from the vast sea.

There is no need to go into too much detail on how difficult it is, after all weak humans can only smell a few irritating smells.

Dragons are the most powerful creatures in the world. All their physiological functions are at the peak that ordinary creatures cannot reach. Not only the sense of smell, vision and even flying speed, the body structure of dragons is a perfect creation at the peak level.

The figure of Tuo Er Jin hovering over the South China Sea, who locked on the target, paused and galloped towards the destination.

The huge body stretches freely in the air, and the posture when it crosses the sky is not eager. Across a long distance, one can still feel the powerful power contained in this body.

The sailing ship caught a glimpse and saw the golden dragon skimming over the South China Sea... and the countless undersea creatures chasing him below.

The players all cast shocked gazes at him.

"What a big dragon!"

"The seabed creatures in the South China Sea are too fierce. They don't even let flying creatures go? They dare to chase after them?"

"Does this dragon look familiar?"

"Is there? Don't all dragons look like this?"

"But it's golden, it always feels like a certain npc."

The players were discussing a lot, the demon looked at the golden dragon, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, urging the players not to just beep beep and not work, but to follow quickly.

"Keep up with the golden dragon?" The player assigned to the driving task did not trust the demon's ability: "We can't even keep up with the expedition ship, but can we still keep up with the golden dragon?"

"I think it's best not to go." Xiong Da, who was resurrected at the temporary resurrection point, discouraged the demon, "It's too dangerous there..."

For the other elite players who just heroically committed suicide on the bottom of the sea, you started talking one by one.

"The bald head of the sea!"

"There is also a large water tank! There is a pile of black liquid in it..."

"They captured the expedition team and stuffed them into the water tank."

"It can't be beaten at all, they still spit bubbles, and the expedition team can't even break the bubbles."

"That's right! According to Yan, these things defeated the expedition team with Du Doran before..."

The devil's original casual expression changed instantly after the player said this. He said in a loud voice: "Turn, turn immediately! Let's go in the opposite direction and go back to the kingdom!"

Although you know that demons know current affairs, aren't you giving up a bit too quickly?

The players frantically manipulated the ship to turn, while whispering.

"What is Du Dolan? Why did the devil coax him so quickly when he heard that it was defeated?"

"Demons are really unreliable."

"Let's go back like this? What kind of sand sculpture mission is this?"

"The devil gave up joining in the fun, so even if our mission fails, is it still a success?"

"Hurry up and go back, if you float on the sea like this again, I'm going to get sea phobia."

"Go back to the kingdom, I haven't handed in any previous missions yet."

Nubida didn't care about the whispers of the players. He was startled, and he hasn't recovered from the news just now.

Defeat Du Doran?Just kidding, will an ocean overlord of this level be defeated?Before defeating it, the enemy should be dead.

Almost immediately after hearing Yan's judgment, the demon realized that there was a big problem in the South China Sea.

Those sea creatures don't have the ability to defeat Du Dolan.

The demon with the full-level passive skill of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages clearly smelled the heavy shadow lurking under the deep sea.

At this moment, if there is any place on this continent that is safe.

Then it could only be the kingdom, the place where the Father God fell, and the place where the Father God favored.

The golden dragon galloped towards his destination, teasing the sea creatures excited by his presence.

"Come on, hit me if you have the ability."

Tuo Er Jinfei was at a high place, and the waves below him were layer upon layer, lively following his progress, and they were the group of sea creatures trying to attack him.

This scene is not uncommon. The Dragon Island located in the South China Sea allows the Dragon Clan to often enjoy this kind of "enthusiastic" treatment.

Tor King approached his target, where Dudoran was, pursued by the sea creatures.

As the distance kept getting closer and he was about to reach his destination, Du Duolan suddenly noticed an abnormality, and the undersea creatures that had been chasing him enthusiastically just now stopped collectively behind a certain line.

Tuol Jin turned his head to look at the sea creatures behind him.

"Strange." Tuo Er Jin didn't have time to stop to find out the reason. He only looked back and continued to move towards the destination, but doubts inevitably emerged.

"This group of sea creatures don't have the ability to think," Tuo Erjin: "Why do pure wild animals restrain their desire to prey?"

Even if they are dragons, they will excitedly try to attack. There can be no more dangerous existence ahead than dragons, right?

Thinking this way, Thor King arrived at the area where he smelled Du Dolan.

He moved his ears, and accurately captured the cry for help belonging to human beings deep in the bottom of the sea.

This is... capsized?

Tuol Jin quickly inspected the sea, but found no dangerous creatures worth noting—in fact, the desolation here is astonishing, there are not even small fish and shrimps, let alone dangerous creatures worthy of the dragon clan's vigilance.

The people of those kingdoms are too exaggerated. When they entrusted him to come to the South China Sea to find someone, they said it was so dangerous...

While thinking this way, Toll King mobilized ether casually, and set up a gas conversion space for the drowning humans below, that is, a huge... bubble.

For some reason, the cries for help from the people below seemed to become more terrified.

Tuo Er Jin waved his tail, his mind was full of question marks, he was saved, why was he more scared than before?

Is the psychological quality of the people of the kingdom too bad?

He manipulated the bubbles formed by the ether to slowly rise to the surface of the water.

Tull King waited for a while, those drowned humans seemed to be in the depths of the seabed, and it took a lot of time to float from the depths of the seabed to the surface of the sea.

Bubbles surfaced from the sea, and the golden light almost blinded the player's eyes.

"Fuck! It's so flashy."

"What a big dragon..."

"Huh? A dragon? I thought those guys were making a comeback."

"It's a dragon."

The players breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed from the tense spirit just now, and collapsed into the bubble one by one.

On the contrary, the NPCs remained calm, and Yan was still talking to Huang on the other end of the communication tool: "Tur King is here."

Huang at the other end of the communication tool breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately focused on others, asking repeatedly: "What did you encounter? How is the situation now? How is the enemy..."

These three questions were not very easy to answer, Yan thought for a few seconds, and turned his attention to the huge golden dragon hovering over the sea.

Tuo Er Jin felt cold all over, raised a few meters vigilantly, kept a distance from them, and shouted: "What do you see me doing?"

Yan glanced below the surface of the sea.

Luye agreed with his thoughts: "We were too busy escaping from death just now, we didn't pay attention to what happened below..."

Wu Xing brought the topic to another point: "However, the attack method of erasing existence in an instant is a bit familiar..."

"Let Tull King go down with us?" Wang Lun stood up and agreed with this idea very much: "I agree, this way is more secure..."

Wang Lun felt that he was a bit cowardly when he said this. After all, the player will not die, so he added extra words: "I mean, it can protect the safety of npc."

Du Kang rarely showed an uncertain expression: "There are many things that don't make sense."

The players pricked up their ears, but they didn't hear Du Kang's next words.

Yan said to Huang Dao at the other end of the communication tool: "We are going to go to the bottom of the sea to check the situation. At present, we are still not sure how far the Holy Guard's attack has gone..."

Tuol Jin listened: "Holy guard?" It took him two seconds to react: "Oh, the holy guard who defend the law...they can still attack outside the kingdom?"

No one answered his question, Yan and Huang briefly communicated, and then turned their attention to Tuoer Jin.

A moment later, the depths of the sea.

The dangling bubbles floated behind the golden pocket dragon, and walked along the road just walked.

Wang Xuan was surprised: "The dragons can still breathe underwater? Are they amphibious creatures?"

Wang Lun touched his chin: "I prefer the other party to use ether."

"But is there such a thing as amphibians in this world?" Wu Xing thought deeply.

Tull King didn't bother to explain the structure of the dragons to them. In fact, the dragons can't breathe underwater, but with the strength of their bodies, holding their breath for a short period of time will not affect them in any way.

The golden dragon was swimming in the sea, looking around, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Why isn't there even a living creature here?"

Luye took the lead in disregarding the relationship: "When we were caught, there were no other creatures here."

Something was wrong, Tuo Er Jin became vigilant, and continued to move towards the conspicuous underwater buildings not far away.

Not long after the journey, Ye Quan was the first to discover the problem: "Isn't it right? Where are those crystal pillars?"

The player and the npc carefully observe the buildings in front of them, and the tall crystal towers that surrounded the buildings before are gone.

"Crystal pillar?" Tuo Erjin looked around the building complex carefully, and also discovered this: "Why is there no crystal tower here?"

The crystal tower is a strategic reserve for the submarine kingdom to save ether energy. It is the most important guarantee for the submarine kingdom to maintain the kingdom in the depths of the South China Sea. The protective layer constructed by the crystal tower prevents dangerous submarine creatures from entering the territory of intelligent creatures, ensuring that the submarine kingdom safety.

Therefore, all large and small submarine kingdoms under the sea will build crystal towers near the gathering place, regardless of their size, to form a protective layer to protect the people of the kingdom.

After all, the real masters of the South China Sea are not the intelligent creatures under the sea, but those extremely dangerous underwater creatures deep in the South China Sea.

But near this large-scale gathering place, even the shadow of the crystal tower can't be seen.

"I remember that there are quite a lot of crystal pillars..." Wang Lun exchanged glances with other players: "This style of not leaving even a layer of dust is very similar to the handwriting of the Holy Guard."

Yan was also very confused: "Why did the Holy Guard attack the crystal tower?"

No one knows the answer.

Bubble continued to follow the pocket golden dragon, and soon approached the group of buildings.

After approaching, the tragic state of the building complex is clear at a glance. Not to mention the living creatures, even the dead objects have disappeared more than half, barely leaving a few crumbling buildings, and they can't see the grandeur that the players saw when they were captured before. appearance.

Tull King got the result at a glance: "Some buildings have disappeared."

There is no need to reason about this situation, the crumbling part of the building and the sudden disappearance of another part of the building are so conspicuous, any intelligent creature with normal architectural thinking can quickly see this.

"Those undersea creatures are gone too." Green Leaf added.

They continued to move forward, passed through the dilapidated buildings, and returned to the water tank that cast a deep shadow on the player.

The water tank remained where it was, that is, only the empty half remained, and apart from the water tank...

Everyone looked around this barren and vast trench, but found nothing.

The orderly army before was like a flash in the pan, completely disappeared, to be precise, it was completely obliterated.

Wang Xuan let out an exclamation: "The Holy Guard is too awesome, directly killing the audience?"

"There are no living things here." After Lu Ye finished speaking, he hesitated and corrected: "There are no living things in this sea area."

The powerful existence that had imprisoned players and NPCs just now disappeared in an understatement.

"Problem solved?" Wang Lun glanced at the task, the task points have not changed, and there is no notification that the task is successful.

He sighed in disappointment: "It's not over, it's just beginning."

"Hasn't the South China Sea crisis been resolved?" Ye Quan was puzzled: "Look, there is nothing here, how can you threaten the kingdom?"

Wu Xing reminded the other party: "We didn't kill these enemies, they were plot kills."

Du Kang concluded: "So, we were saved because of the plot. We haven't found the culprit of the 'South China Sea Crisis' described in this mission."

Luye asked uncertainly: "The culprit is not those bald heads?"

"Baldhead?" After turning around the entire trench a few times and finding nothing, Tuo Erjin returned to the team, and just heard this sentence: "What baldhead?"

Green Leaf gave him a general description of the appearance of the group of huge creatures with human bodies and fish tails.

Tuol Jin frowned: "A mermaid?"

Mermaid……?

"I didn't make it clear just now? They look ugly..." Green Leaf added.

Ye Quan added: "It's so ugly! Those scales, that tail..."

Wang Xuan couldn't wait to say: "It's a murder weapon."

"That's right, mermaids," Tuo Jin said with a relaxed tone, "This thing seems to be a kind of submarine civilization bordering the South China Sea after the Dark Ages, right? They call themselves mermaids..."

Wang Xuan took a deep breath: "This is too shameless."

Tull King glanced at the players who always seemed too naive, and didn't really want to explain to them. Anyway, even if the players were stupid and naive, so what?

It will not prevent them from being invincible.

But considering the high employment price, Tuo Er Jin managed to regain some professional ethics: "In fact, in their eyes, you are ugly."

Wang Lun yelled: "Slap me down! Shameless!"

"Because you have neither fish tails nor scales, and you are covered with strange hairs." Tuo Erjin's tone was unwavering: "Different civilizations have different aesthetics, which is very normal. Respecting the differences of civilizations is what you should do." something to learn."

Because what he said was so reasonable, the players shut up one after another.

Toll King said back to what he hadn't finished before: "Mermaids are indeed not low in combat power, but they are definitely not an army. They love beauty and prefer to choose a mate. They are a kind of elementary civilization that is still in evolution..."

Yan interjected: "They defeated Du Dolan."

Tull King paused for a full 3 minutes before jumping three feet high in the sea as if he had been scalded: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I can't even say that I can defeat Du Dolan with mermaids?

Even if all the mermaids have become well-trained troops, they can only feed Dudolan on the bottom of the sea. If Dudolan is so easy to defeat, wouldn't all the subsea civilizations that were suppressed before become waste? "

As he said that, he looked at the box in Yan's hand. After noticing the vitality inside, he felt that he had been deceived: "Isn't Du Duolan doing well? Why was he defeated?"

Yan's expression was very solemn: "We came to the South China Sea to find the expedition team we sent before, and that expedition team brought a Du Doran."

Tull King blinked, looked around the extremely barren trench, subconsciously twitched his nose, and countless different breaths belonging to underwater creatures rushed into his nostrils, passing by one by one, he found what he was looking for, another Du Doran breath.

"I smell it." Tuo Er Jin was very dissatisfied with Yan's exaggeration, and what was even more dissatisfied was that he was actually frightened: "Isn't it in the South China Sea?"

As he said that, Tuo Er Jin sniffled, positioned himself precisely, and cast his gaze in a certain direction: "It's deeper in the South China Sea."

The place deeper than here is almost close to Dragon Island.

Tuol Jin immediately became vigilant: "Why is it in the south?"

That's a good question, Yan didn't even know he was alive until Thor King found a trace of Dudolan.

But since Du Dolan is still alive, what about Hai?

The thoughts in Yan's mind turned quickly, and he made a decisive decision, and said to Huang Dao at the other end of the communication tool that was always in communication: "About this matter, you can apply to the king..."

"Yan wants to continue going deep into the South China Sea to find another Du Dolan?" He Xingwen frowned and pushed open the door of the meeting room.

Zhe was waiting inside, noticing that the atmosphere of the conversation between He Xingwen and Huang was very serious, Zhe, who was holding the report, silently withdrew his hand.

He Xingwen sat on the main seat in the meeting room, and continued: "It's too dangerous."

Knowing what the king would say, Huang tried to persuade Yan, but Yan's attitude was very firm.

"Now there is only a piece of barrenness left, and all existences have been dealt with by the holy guards. We don't know what caused the mermaid to change so much. Yan feels very bad about this. He hopes to find something for the kingdom. Here's the problem."

"He thinks this problem will threaten the kingdom?" In fact, He Xingwen finds it hard to imagine any existence that could threaten the kingdom. It is not a lie that the kingdom is invincible, it is certified by the system.

For He Xingwen, the kingdom is an absolute safe zone.

Huang paused for a moment: "But the continents outside the kingdom are the future territories of the kingdom. Yan doesn't want these places to suffer devastating damage, which will lead to a decrease in the number of territories the kingdom will conquer in the future."

To some extent, this desire to conquer can be called worrying about the country and the people of the whole world.

He Xingwen thought for a few seconds. Considering that he had changed the restraint on the holy guard, the safety of the npc did not seem to need to be worried, but this was precisely another point of concern for He Xingwen.

Because the results of using the Holy Guard have come out.

Life in that sea area is extinct.

This is another problem that must be encountered when using the Holy Guard. The opposite of invincibility is massacre killing.

He Xingwen was caught in a dilemma, and subconsciously cast his gaze towards the system.

The system considered the words a little bit: "I agree with Yan's judgment. Mermaids are not the real source of danger. There are more powerful dangers hidden deep in the depths of the South China Sea."

He Xingwen frowned subconsciously: "So, you think the Holy Guard is better?"

"I think Yan can further explore the true face of the unknown danger," the system said: "There is no real sense of having the best of both worlds. The so-called best of both worlds is just that one party pays more to balance the other party's weakness."

He Xingwen never thought that one day he would hear this sentence from the mouth of the system - that is a system that can always have an optimal solution.

A bit of doubt appeared in He Xingwen's eyes.

Light and Shadow moved slightly, restrained themselves, and continued: "I don't think you will like my optimal solution, so..."

The system looked at He Xingwen: "This is your choice."

Should we abandon the use of the Holy Guard to make NPCs face the threat of possible death to further explore unknown threats; or continue to use the Holy Guard and let it solve all possible threats to the kingdom's people, so as to ensure that NPCs can explore unknown threats under the premise of safety? ?

The former may bring death to npc.

The latter may lead to the absence of submarine civilization in the South China Sea.

Those benevolences that leave room are based on the fact that the kingdom is too powerful. The kingdom can always leave room for the enemy because they could have been stronger than this.

But is that kindness superfluous when the kingdom cannot be stronger?
