One day later, dawn broke.
In a certain desolate basin in the north of the Western Continent, it was raining heavily.
Dark clouds covered the sky, and heavy rain poured down. Dawn had just broken, and a large patch of darkness was being chased away by the light. Everywhere one looked, there was a vast expanse of fog. Rain poured down, and water vapor rose into the air, forming a fog.
Looking down from the sky, one would see countless beasts occupying this black basin. Their numbers were shocking, and they were all different species. There was no lack of beasts that were dozens of meters in size, and there were many natural enemies that were at the top and bottom of the food chain. Occasionally, they would kill each other, causing mud to splatter everywhere.
At the edge of the beast horde, a player was lying on the top of a hill, peeking out to look at this huge beast horde.
His ID was' Nine-Tailed Fox ', and he was one of the core members of Drizzle River. He had accepted the mission [Locate the Source] and had coincidentally discovered this beast horde.
The beast horde stretched for dozens of miles, and it was a majestic sight. The detector was unable to detect the situation within the basin, and Nine-Tailed Fox was thinking of a solution. Sneaking into the beast horde was not realistic, and stealth was not his forte. However, he was a Mechanic, and he had a small remote-controlled drone that he had bought from the Six Nations.
"If the target is within the beast horde, it will be a huge loss if I miss it. Isn't it just a remote-controlled drone? If I lose it, so be it. Let's gamble!"
Nine-Tailed Fox swallowed a mouthful of saliva and took out a small remote-controlled drone. He attached a detector to it and controlled the drone to rise to a height of thirty meters, flying through the rain toward the beast horde.
The rain was a natural camouflage, and the beasts at the periphery did not notice the drone flying overhead.
The drone gradually flew deeper into the beast horde, and after flying for a short while, a black sticky substance struck the drone like a cannonball, causing it to fall into the muddy water.
Ka la la …
The next moment, the black substance wrapped around the drone, and it contracted rapidly. The drone was instantly crushed into pieces, and before the detector could lock onto it, it was also destroyed.
The pitch-black humanoid Mutation Source walked out from the beast horde, and the surrounding beasts did not seem to have seen it. The black substance that had struck the drone rolled on the ground and merged into the Mutation Source's leg, disappearing without a trace.
"What was it struck down by?"
Nine-Tailed Fox had a look of doubt on his face. His control interface was pitch black, and the moment the drone was struck, the image had been disconnected. Just as he was wondering what had happened, the countless beasts that were resting suddenly stood up and looked in Nine-Tailed Fox's direction..
The sound waves were like thunder!
"F * ck! I've been discovered! "
The nine-tailed fox turned pale with fright and immediately turned tail to run. However, before he could run far, a black shadow flashed past like a bolt of lightning and blocked his path. It was the Mutation Source.
"What is it? So fast?! " Nine-Tailed Fox was surprised. He looked at the monster in front of him. It had a humanoid shape with strong muscles. Its whole body was as black as ink, and its skin was a little reflective. There was no hair at all. At first glance, he thought it was a figurine that was as tall as a person.
I'm a Level 62 character, yet I can't see the monster's movements? Nine-Tailed Fox was secretly shocked and hurriedly threw out a [Detect].
Mutation Source: Half Mature (Red Name)
Level:?
Attributes:?
Danger Level: Extremely Lethal
Note: This target is the source of the [Mutation Disaster] Main Storyline.
"Found it!"
Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes lit up.
However, before he could react, the Mutation Source suddenly closed in, and a black substance surged out from its arms. It was like a tentacle that wrapped around his waist. The next second, the tentacle suddenly shrunk, and a force that could shatter gold and stone was applied to his lower body from all directions. In just an instant, more than ten damage values appeared above Nine-Tailed Fox's head. More than half of his health was gone, and the [Crippled Leg] status appeared.
Thankfully, the body structure of the players was unique and shielded from the pain of the reproductive system. Otherwise, Nine-Tailed Fox would have already been covered by the crotch.
At the crucial moment of life and death, Nine-Tailed Fox did not hesitate. He did not care about the attacks of the Mutation Source and quickly took out a backup detector. He threw it out and stabbed it into the wet mud.
Buying a single detector would allow one to complete the mission. However, Han Xiao did not limit the number of detectors one could buy. Furthermore, detectors could be damaged. A small portion of the players had bought more than one backup detector, and coincidentally, Nine-Tailed Fox was one of them!
The next second, his health was emptied, and before he turned into a ray of white light, Nine-Tailed Fox revealed an ecstatic smile.
"Hahaha, I've hit the jackpot!"
As long as he could complete this mission, what did dying once count as?
The Mutation Source retracted its tentacles and seemed to be puzzled as to why there was no corpse. It stared blankly at the spot where Nine-Tailed Fox had disappeared and fell into a state of curiosity. As for the detector buried in the mud, it was a dead object that did not move at all. The Mutation Source simply ignored it.
In the mud, the value of the detector rose rapidly and finally broke through the critical point. This set of data turned into electromagnetic waves and was sent out through the communication device.
[Lock on the Source] has ended.
Mission Completed By: Nine-Tailed Fox
All around the world, the players were stunned.
"This … it has only been a day, and the mission is already over?"
"Who is Nine-Tailed Fox?"
"I know him. He is one of the core members of the Rainstorm Club, Drizzling Rivers."
The players were in an uproar. The mission had ended too suddenly, and there was only one winner. The rest did not even receive a thank you for participating. The speed at which their dreams were shattered was too realistic.
However, the price that they had paid was very small, and the other players were not too depressed. They were only envious of the player called Nine-Tailed Fox.
Drizzling Rivers immediately asked Nine-Tailed Fox about the location of the Mutation Source. After obtaining the news, they swiftly announced on the forums the coordinates of the Mutation Source. The mission had already been completed, and the coordinates were no longer important. To a guild, announcing the location of the Mutation Source to the players was an extremely popular method.
In an instant, a large number of players rushed over to the basin. While they had failed the mission, according to the mission introduction, there would be a continuation of the storyline after finding the Mutation Source. No one was willing to miss it.
The players from the other continents were helpless. They were unable to cross the ocean to reach the location in a short period of time, but the players from the Western Continent were able to enjoy the benefits of being close to the water.
In a short while, the players rode on vehicles or ran over long distances and appeared at the edge of the basin. Very quickly, a few hundred players had gathered, and they maintained a safe distance from the beast horde.
Among the surrounding players, there were quite a few guild members, and the president of the Guild of Gods, Jupiter, was among them.
"President, what do we do next? Are we going to attack the beast horde?" a member of the Guild of Gods asked.
Jupiter's eyes flickered, and he said, "Since we have found the Mutation Source, we will definitely have a chance to participate in the storyline. We should be able to obtain more progress from the Main Storyline Mission."
Looking at the players around him, Jupiter decided to organize the crowd and loudly attract the attention of the players present.
"Everyone, this might be the Boss of the Mutation Disaster Main Storyline. All of you have seen it for yourselves. The number of enemies is huge, and a single guild is not enough. It is best that we work together and not provoke the horde of beasts. Wait for more people to join us …"
There was nothing wrong with this statement. In the face of the wild beasts that covered the mountains and plains, the few of them were simply not enough. The hundreds of players present had this thought from the start, and they all showed expressions of agreement.
At this moment, before Jupiter could speak, the sound of an air current was heard in the sky.
Rumble!
The thousands of people at the edge of the basin subconsciously raised their heads and saw the Blacklight Stealth streaking across the sky. It pierced through the rain clouds and stopped above the center of the basin.
"That's … Black Star is here!"
The expressions of the several hundred players changed.
