After all, the Players underestimated and misjudged the existence of the Night Tide Dragon to a certain degree due to their previous experience of successfully slaying the Dead Red Dragon.
After all, although the Dead Red Dragon was an Undead, it was still a True Dragon before it died. On the other hand, the Night Tide Dragon was a pseudo-dragon like the Forest Drake, which was why players didn't pay too much attention to it and treated it as a Boss that was slightly stronger than ordinary monsters.
That was precisely why the Players were attacked beyond their expectations.
As if mocking the Players' incompetence, the Night Tide Dragon roamed around the fishmen island, attacking the contestants by the shore without stopping and even hindering the Players from gathering. After all, for the Players who were familiar with the terrain, the flat and easily reachable seaside was much easier to gather than inside the island, which was why they were the biggest victims of the Night Tide Dragon's ambush.
At the same time, the merfolk had also gradually learned their lesson from the initial situation of being killed by the contestants. They began to plan and attack the contestants on a large scale.
Since there were high-level murlocs lurking in every ambush, other than the Players who could see the monster's name and level and were prepared for it, the other contestant teams all suffered heavy losses.
Either way, it had only been a day since the start of the second round of the tournament, but it was already so terrible that Xi Wei was hesitating if he should help — the Ocean Goddess would definitely sense that something was wrong if the Players and believers of other churches were all wiped out.
It was fortunate that he had underestimated the Players' tenacity.
Perhaps the Players had gotten used to suffering crushing defeats in the early stages of a new expedition. As long as the enemy wasn't unbeatable, they would only become more excited against a stronger foe. After all, according to their experience, the stronger the foe, the better the loot!
Naturally, the elites sent by other churches weren't just for show. Even if they were second-rate (why would a church's trump card or secret weapon be sent to a tournament like this?), they still represented the prestige and prestige of their respective churches. However, this also represented the high-level combat power and reputation of the corresponding churches. Moreover, after the first round of the tournament, they also knew that even if they died in battle, they would not really die. Their mentality became better, and their fighting spirit did not collapse so easily.
That was why the tables were turned once again on the second day.
First, the monks of the Brilliant White Church used their position to rope in a bunch of lackeys and neutral churches to work together against the fishmen.
The monk's second-in-command (the first had been eaten by the Night Tide Dragon) saw that the merfolk's attacks had suddenly become orderly, and concluded that there must be a Lord-class existence among them.
After 'using the wyvern knights of the Temple of Glory as bait to lure the murlocs to attack', 'diverting the main force to raid the murloc's lair during the battle and forcing the wyvern knights to confront the main force of the murlocs and the murloc liege', the ascetics who succeeded in raiding the murloc's lair turned around and blasted the main force of the murlocs, the murloc liege and most of the wyvern knights into the air with a large-scale hymn, almost securing the top ten of the second round!
After the Players gathered, they began to track and attempt to assassinate the Night Tide Dragon.
The Night Tide Dragon tried the same trick to devour the Players on the shore, but it was surrounded twice by the Players.
Although it managed to escape both times, the Players did not give up. Instead, they used the two chances to get a feel for the Night Tide Dragon, learning almost all of its abilities and attack patterns.
The Night Tide Dragon also sensed the threat that the Players posed and tried to flee to the depths and lay low for a while, since it could no longer feel the Ocean Goddess's call.
Even so, it crashed heavily into an invisible wall when it swam towards the depths — the fishmen island was shrouded in Xi Wei's divine power, and it couldn't stray too far away from the island!
Of course, Xi Wei wasn't targeting it. After all, every monster on the island, be it the Night Tide Dragon, was pleasure to a god like Xi Wei.
He was simply trying to reduce the divine power needed to resurrect believers of other churches and reduce the risk of being discovered by other gods. That was why he only shrouded the entire fishmen island with divine power after he was sure that the Ocean Goddess wasn't paying attention to them, separating the island from the Prime Material Plane to a certain extent.
It was similar to the ability that the Ocean Goddess used to toss the fishmen island over, although Xi Wei's was less laborious. After all, he had the Authority of Transmigration and didn't need to pay VPN fees for wall-jumping …
And now, the fishmen island had become something similar to a divine kingdom that Xi Wei had created.
All in all, be it the fishmen or the Night Tide Dragons on the Fishmen Island, it was impossible for them to escape from this domain.
That way, it was fine for the fishmen who could survive on land for long periods as long as there was enough humidity, but the Night Tide Dragon whose limbs had mostly devolved was in a much more difficult situation. It couldn't escape, and the frogmen that the Players summoned would harass it endlessly even if it lurked in the water.
In a fit of rage, the Night Tide Dragon chased after the inferior creatures that dared to poke its scales, only to find that a group of Players were already waiting for it neatly on the shore …
Fine. Even though it wasn't as vulnerable as a fish out of water, all it could do was jump a little, and its mobility was on the same level as a mantis shrimp.
I can't afford to mess with them. Goodbye.
Still, the damned frogmen came for it again soon after it dove underwater. This time, they were more experienced, and they poked the Night Tide Dragon's cloaca instead of its scales.
Apart from a few species, most dragons were more violent in the first place, not to mention the Night Tide Dragon which had been underwater since it was young and wasn't very smart. Hence, it was so furious that it was jumping around and bubbling out of its seven orifices — you frogs have a death wish!
Regardless of whether the Players were waiting for it on the shore, the Night Tide Dragon targeted a frogman whose back was patterned like a chrysanthemum and had a wretched smile, and charged ashore to crush it with a single bite.
Then, the Night Tide Dragon, which was already low on HP in the first place, was blocked by the Players and bombarded it with skills for half an hour before dying in vain …
After all, the Night Tide Dragon itself was worth a hundred thousand points even if the fishmen caught in the crossfire of the battle weren't included.
Even if the Brilliant White Church's points were higher than the Night Tide Dragon's, it shouldn't be forgotten that those points had to be shared with the contestants from other churches. Moreover, the wyvern knights who were blown away had also killed quite a number of fishmen and took up a portion of the points, which was why the monks' individual points weren't that ridiculous.
Hence, the Players who were the main damage output instantly overtook the monks of the Brilliant White Church and made it to the finals.
