"That's it?" Passing Monarch's jaw dropped.
Although the outer area of the sea was not particularly large, it was still roughly 50 yards away. With over 20 Thunder Horn Beasts attacking the outer area, crossing the inner area was easier said than done.
Even Silent Entropy and the others, who had a Small Sailboat, had lost three or four players before they had even traveled halfway to the inner area. It was obvious that, if they wished to enter the inner area from the outer area, they would have to lose at least 20 players.
Of course, Silent Entropy and the others could use another method to reduce their losses, and that was to kill the Thunder Horn Beasts bit by bit. However, killing so many Thunder Horn Beasts would take up a lot of time. They only had ten hours in the Sea Dragon Secret Land. If they spent one or two hours in the outer area, they would waste even more time in the inner area. Even if they managed to reach the island, they wouldn't have enough time to search for the Legacy.
Seeing that Hundred Leaves had already entered the inner area, Identical Summer grew anxious.
The island's Legacy was first come, first served. The sooner they reached the island, the easier it would be for them to obtain the Legacy.
"Forget it! All MTs, take turns activating your Lifesaving Skills! We'll endure!" Identical Summer commanded, gritting his teeth.
Following which, the Small Sailboat's MTs split into groups of six and took the Thunder Horn Beasts' attacks head-on. When the Thunder Horn Beasts blocked their path, they bombarded them with cannon fire.
On the other hand, Silent Entropy's side fared much better. After all, the Swordsman had taken out a Tier 3 Defensive Magic Scroll and activated it.
By the time both fleets reached the outer area, Silent Entropy's fleet had not lost a single player. On the other hand, Identical Summer's fleet had suffered severe losses. They had lost a total of five MTs. Including the other classes, they had lost a total of 17 players. Meanwhile, the players who had died would respawn at the rest of the fleet.
Fortunately, the death penalty in a secret land was the same as in a Normal Dungeon. They would not lose too much EXP.
"Commander, are we still going?" Blue Joy asked Passing Monarch. At this time, she wore a worried expression. It was obvious that she was not optimistic about their chances of reaching the outer area.
"Forget it. It's too difficult. There's no need to waste our speedboats' Durability here." Passing Monarch took a deep breath and decided to give up. The difficulty of reaching the inner area was much greater than he had imagined. They had no hope of reaching the inner area.
"Wait a minute," Shifeng suddenly said. "It's not like there's no way to get there."
The Thunder Horn Beast's attacks were indeed terrifying, but after observing for a while, he could tell that the Thunder Horn Beast's attacks were mainly magical attacks. It might be difficult for others to block magical attacks, but it was a piece of cake for him.
"Brother Ye Feng, do you have a solution?" Passing Monarch asked curiously.
These Thunder Horn Beasts were extremely fast. Even a Bronze Speedboat couldn't outrun them. If several Thunder Horn Beasts surrounded the Bronze Speedboat, the speedboat would have no choice but to rely on the Small Sailboat to clear a path.
"I'll attract the attention of these sea monsters, and the other speedboats will take the opportunity to go over," the Shifeng explained.
Passing Monarch could not help his surprise. He had never thought that the Shifeng would be willing to sacrifice their own speedboats as bait. However, since the Shifeng was willing to do so, he naturally would not object.
Meanwhile, Hundred Leaves and the others, who were resting in the inner area, suddenly noticed that Passing Monarch and the others were actually driving their speedboats towards the outer area.
"You overestimate yourself." Identical Summer sneered. "Without the small sailboat, those Thunder Horn Beasts are easy to deal with."
"Why waste time here?" Hundred Leaves rolled her eyes at Passing Monarch.
Speedboats could not be repaired inside the secret land. Even if players received a portion of the damage, the speedboat's Durability would decrease. If the speedboat's Durability reached zero, it would be useless. It would be fine if they passed the trial after losing some Durability. However, if they failed, their chances of obtaining a Legacy would decrease if they ventured into the other caverns.
From another perspective, it was better that Passing Monarch and the others were willing to stay here. That way, she would have a chance to kill the Shifeng and complete the Demon God's quest.
At this time, the Shifeng steered the Swift Dragon Speedboat into the outer area.
Suddenly, Thunder Horn Beasts emerged from the sea, surrounding the team. Lightning began to gather in the horns on their heads as they prepared to attack.
However, the Shifeng paid no heed to the Thunder Horn Beasts. Instead, he charged into the sea monster horde.
Just as the lightning bolts were about to strike him, the Shifeng activated Magic Barrier, becoming immune to magic damage and reducing physical damage by 60% for ten seconds.
After blocking the lightning bolts, the Swift Dragon Speedboat arrived in the middle of the sea of Thunder Horn Beasts, allowing the Thunder Horn Beasts to form a net around them.
"It's over. We've been surrounded." Passing Monarch could not help but sigh.
As long as the Thunder Horn Beasts surrounded the speedboat, it would be impossible for it to escape.
"What a fool! You actually sacrificed a speedboat for nothing!" Identical Summer laughed.
In the past, he would still consider Passing Monarch his opponent. After all, the two had fought for a long time. Passing Monarch had even caused him plenty of trouble. Now, however, Passing Monarch was no longer a threat to him. Only Silent Entropy and Hundred Leaves could compete with him.
As more Thunder Horn Beasts gathered, their chances of escaping the encirclement grew smaller.
The Shifeng's smile grew even wider.
"It's time to take action!" The Shifeng surveyed his surroundings. The Thunder Horn Beasts had already formed a net around them. Almost 80% of the sea monsters had gathered.
Energy Pulse!
Dragon Cannon!
Suddenly, a blue ripple spread out from the Swift Dragon Speedboat, paralyzing the surrounding Thunder Horn Beasts. At the same time, a black-and-white beam of energy struck the Thunder Horn Beasts in front of the Swift Dragon Speedboat.
The next moment, the three Thunder Horn Beasts that blocked the speedboat's path were sent flying. Meanwhile, the three Thunder Horn Beasts lost over 2,000,000 HP in the blink of an eye. As a result, the Thunder Horn Beasts' HP caved in, creating a hollow space. Just looking at the Thunder Horn Beasts' HP was enough to make one shudder.
"Full Power!" Shifeng activated Mana Boost.
His Movement Speed increased by 100%. Before the Thunder Horn Beasts could react, the Swift Dragon Speedboat had already broken through the encirclement and made a beeline for the inner region.
Meanwhile, Passing Monarch and the others charged towards the inner region from a different direction.
Five Thunder Horn Beasts were no match for the four Bronze Speedboats. As for the remaining Thunder Horn Beasts chasing the Swift Dragon Speedboat, due to the paralysis, their Movement Speed was less than half of their peak. They couldn't even keep up with the Swift Dragon Speedboat's tail. By the time the paralysis wore off, the Thunder Horn Beasts were already over 300 yards away from the Swift Dragon Speedboat. They could only watch as the Swift Dragon Speedboat entered the inner region. On the other hand, Passing Monarch's four Bronze Speedboats had lost some of their Durability.
"Just what rank is that speedboat?" Hundred Leaves blinked as she looked at the Swift Dragon Speedboat, which remained unscathed.
"So, this is the expert Passing Monarch hired? They are quite capable." Identical Summer had to admit that the Swift Dragon Speedboat's performance was truly shocking. The Swift Dragon Speedboat's main cannon had actually blasted away the three Thunder Horn Beasts blocking the speedboat's path. Not even a Small Sailboat's main cannon could accomplish such a feat. "However, this is as far as they can go.
The others agreed with Identical Summer's words.
The difference between the outer region's trial and the inner region's trial was like the difference between heaven and earth. Although they had to deal with fewer monsters in the inner region, their strength had increased significantly. Moreover, the inner region's trial was different from the outer region's.
Only after they had set foot in the inner region did they discover a magic barrier around the island. It was obvious that they had to kill the sea monsters guarding the island before they could enter. However, the sea monsters guarding the island were Level 55 King-class Sea Monsters. There were also two Great Lord ranked sea monsters. Without a Small Sailboat, they had no chance of surviving such an assault.
"Brother Monarch, it's truly a pity. Even if you make it here, it's meaningless. Without a Small Sailboat, you're doomed to fail," Identical Summer laughed loudly. "However, rest assured. Your fleet will still rank seventh in the future. Only, you won't be able to use the Large Shipyard anymore."
Passing Monarch's jaw dropped when he saw Silent Entropy and the others fighting the Level 55 King-class Sea Monsters. Despair filled his heart.
The King-class Sea Monsters before them were far stronger than the King-class Sea Monsters they had faced before. Previously, the King-class Sea Monsters had only been Great Lords. Now, however, the King-class Sea Monsters before them were Grand Lords. Moreover, they were of an even higher level …
With the Secret-Silver ranked Swift Dragon Speedboat, they had no hope of surviving such a monster. Not to mention, there were also two Great Lord ranked sea monsters supporting the speedboat.
