Guano Island is so close to Huangyi Town, but no pirates have come to occupy it, which shows that there are few resources here.
A rare resource point is worth sending a pirate ship back and forth every week.
Ai Lan sat on the mangrove tree, starting from the westernmost side of the island and sweeping all the way across.
A huge negative island crab started running around on the guano island as if it was going to devour the island.
Countless seabirds were so frightened that they flew away in all directions, and the whole island suddenly became a mess.
In the end, Ailan discovered a guano mine, a coal mine, a quarry and an extremely interesting bird totem on the island.
There is nothing much to say about the several mines. They all produce some resources every week, and then need someone to transport them.
What is interesting is this bird totem.
Name: Bird Totem
Faction:Nature
Level:Level 3
Durability: 3000/3000 (Holy Armor)
Function: Attract bird creatures to come and live
Bonus: None
Advanced: unknown
"It turns out that so many seabirds on the island are attracted by this totem."
Mine Ailan has naturally been collected, but if you want to get satisfactory returns, you need to stay there for a long time.
The trouble is, looking at the chat on the regional channel, players from this small guild also have thoughts about Guano Island.
The situation in the Deserted Sea is already very complicated, and Ai Lan is really in no mood to get entangled with them.
If it's a head-on attack, even if all these players come together, they probably won't be enough to kill him.
But the existence of players is so troublesome. It’s useless to kill them several times. You have to defeat them completely.
This small guild has less than a hundred players, but it is enough to cause Ai Lan a lot of trouble.
After harvesting all the resource points on the island, Ai Lan did not choose to occupy them.
By occupying the building, his name was exposed.
Ai Lan has always had thoughts about Huangyi Town, so naturally she doesn't want to expose her identity too early.
In addition, how to deal with these buildings in the underwater passage also gave him a headache.
Those players died here once, and they will definitely come here to check it out next time.
Before Ai Lan could think about this problem clearly, when he returned to the cave, he discovered two very strange things.
For some reason, the durability of the open-pit gold mine has been lost.
Also, the mysterious stone door in the underwater passage disappeared silently, as if it had never appeared.
But the miniature tree man he placed nearby to monitor didn't see anything.
Ai Lan searched everywhere but found nothing.
"It's really strange."
He could still understand the durability of open-pit gold mines, probably because of the ground veins.
But what happened to this stone door? He just went out once and disappeared when he came back.
Can't understand.
Ai Lan thought for a while, called Kaka, and planted a dwarf willow in the corner of the cave.
In fact, when scanning the island, Ai Lan inserted such a ward near each resource point.
Ailan becomes more and more satisfied with this kind of miniature tree man as he uses it. If there are more of them, the entire Guano Island will be under his surveillance.
However, the seed production of the ancient sacrificial tree has increased recently, and he began to feel reluctant to leave the daily awakening tree people on the miniature tree people.
After sweeping the Guano Island, Ai Lan returned to the sea on a mangrove tree.
He was still thinking about how to act next and how to deal with this group of players, when an unexpected discovery surprised him.
I have to say that this newly joined guild is indeed full of experts.
Soon after joining, Ai Lan discovered that many experts were discussing the progress of the recent expansion pack on the guild channel.
From their discussion, Ai Lan learned that the Paladins had basically figured out the mastermind behind the Dragon Mad Lock.
Now the task is stuck on tracking down the specific location of the mystery lock. As expected, this task is the responsibility of the arcanist.
According to them, the current expansion process has reached the final two steps.
As long as you find the location of the mystery lock and find out the mastermind behind it, the final battle can begin.
The expansion pack has developed so fast, which is really beyond Ai Lan’s expectation.
If he hadn't accidentally seen the conversations of these experts, his own guess would have been a week later.
From this point of view, joining this guild is not a bad thing.
At least in terms of news, he gained a whole new channel.
In addition, Ai Lan may be the person who knows the most about the process of tracing the location of the mystery lock.
The advanced magic book has been sent to the arcanist. According to the witch, as long as the arcanist deciphers the magic book, the location of the mystery lock can be quickly locked.
In addition, Ai Lan also learned from these game masters.
There are actually many elf players who have tried to conquer the Emerald Tower, but not one of them has successfully walked out of it.
There are several elf masters among game geeks who have beaten the Emerald Tower.
Ai Lan also learned from their conversation that the final level of the Emerald Tower was actually to defeat 5,000 seventh-level soldiers.
The tactics he uses are actually heart-rending and frenzied. It is said that no player has been able to pass this level yet.
It was too difficult. A total of five thousand seventh-level soldiers were overwhelming, occupying almost all the venues as soon as they appeared.
There is almost no room for counterattack. The only thing the player can do is to move desperately and lose his mind.
But as soon as you get hit, the game ends immediately, leaving no room for mistakes.
Compared with the previous three levels, the difficulty of this level is simply improved by leaps and bounds.
According to the progress of the expansion pack, as long as the players who choose to continue challenging the fourth level will fail in this level, no one will be able to obtain the final reward.
This unexpected news made Ai Lan call it a fluke.
Fortunately, he listened to the witch's advice, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss.
However, if you can clear the fourth level, the rewards will be extremely generous. It is said that there is a little potential point in the cumulative reward.
It is this potential that has tempted countless players to choose to continue the challenge.
If Ai Lan had known that the reward for the fourth level was potential points, would he still have chosen to give up?
Even Ai Lan himself doesn't know this problem.
In addition, according to the judgment of these experts, the final battle of this expansion pack.
It is very likely that it will trigger a huge change in the new world.
After the war begins, the New World will most likely be opened directly.
This judgment is made by many game experts, combined with their own experience, the current popularity of the new world and the large influx of new players.
They also judged that the New World would most likely limit the levels players can enter.
In other words, level eight players like Ai Lan will not be allowed to enter the New World.
The people of the Lords Alliance chose to be patient and retain the heart of their city, which seemed to be a very wise decision.
So many top players have made the same judgment, will game companies really follow their ideas?
If they are really guessing, the current situation in the new world will undergo earth-shaking changes.
"The average level of players in the Desolate Sea is less than level five."
Then the opening of the New World will definitely have a fatal attraction for them.
If the New World is opened and there is a portal nearby, these players will definitely be tempted to go to the New World.
There really isn't much to do in a place like the Desolate Sea.
If it weren't for Huangyi Town, even Ai Lan wouldn't want to stay here any longer.
The players in Huangyi Town are interested in the resources of Guano Island, and Ai Lan does not want to give up the resources here. It seems that the conflict between them cannot be eased at all.
But if the New World opens up, this contradiction will become irrelevant.
Now Ai Lan is very curious, what will the situation in the new world look like after the end of Dragon Madness Mystery Lock?
And can he continue to maintain his leading advantage in such a changing situation?
Now, everything is still shrouded in fog.
No matter it is the Ocean Temple, the Pirate Council, or the Swamp Council, there is currently no big move.
Ai Lan actually hopes that they can make a move. Only if these big forces make a move can he know how the situation at sea will change.
As for the Ship Destroying Sect, this force is still a rat in the gutter and does not need too much attention.
Seeing so many game masters discussing the progress of the expansion pack, Ai Lan couldn't help but give a rough summary of the magic book tasks he had completed.
There are many famous task masters among Game Maniacs, and among them there is also a very famous big data analyst.
When Ai Lan told the detailed content of the mission, these game masters quickly came up with a rough result based on the submission time of the magic book, the witch's prophecy, the approximate level of the arcanist and the general information of the Spiritual Sect.
Within two days, the location of the mystery lock will be locked.
After that, a server-wide mission will appear in the new world - Destroy the Mystery Lock.
This will most likely be a one-time large-scale public instance, but the level of participating players should be limited.
Low-level players will most likely not be able to participate in this event.
But in the meantime, there's a good chance the New World will open on the same day.
In this case, low-level players and high-level players will be separated.
Low-level players go to the New World, and high-level players go to attack public dungeons.
This kind of diversion can not only satisfy new players, but also keep advanced players from running out of things to do.
After listening to the analysis of these game experts, Ai Lan suddenly felt that he had gained a lot.
Because he felt that their analysis was very reasonable.
He thought about it carefully for a long time and felt that this possibility was really very high.
"Two days?"
In two days, it’s almost the next week, which is the fifth week of the game’s launch.
This timing is so coincidental.
The expansion pack ends, the new continent opens, and on the first day of the fifth week, is everything arranged in advance by the game company?
But this is a rare good thing for him.
If most of the players in the Desolate Sea leave, this sea area will be monopolized by him.
It was only two days, he could afford to wait.
Of course, he couldn't wait during this period.
Two days were enough for him to thoroughly explore the sea area near Huangyi Town.
As for Desert Town itself, although there is only one pirate captain left.
But Ai Lan has no idea of forcibly attacking a second-level town yet. The defensive power of a second-level town is not what he can covet now.
The city walls and defense towers alone were enough for him to drink a pot, not to mention the mage tower in the town.
Ai Lan couldn't take risks with mangroves. Even if he wanted to take risks, he would have to break the teleportation formation first.
As long as the teleportation array is not broken, the Pirate Council can send troops to support it at any time.
No matter how strong the mangrove is, it cannot be stronger than the pirate council.
The technique used by Purgatory in the Qianye Forest is worth learning. He directly attacked the elite mage and destroyed the mage tower first.
But how to do it specifically needs to be considered in the long term.
Maybe he should take a trip to Huangyi Town and see for himself what Huangyi Town is like? What kind of pirates are there, and what kind of person is the mage of Huangyi Town.
Just holding a defensive map in your hand is not enough.
In exactly two days, he can almost reach the Desert Islands. A pirate city should be very interesting.
Ai Lan is not particularly worried about her own safety.
Holding a teleportation scroll in his hand, he can leave whenever he wants.
Level two towns cannot block spells yet. If you want to block spells, you must at least build a mythical lock or magic net in the city.
Ai Lan learned this knowledge from the Advanced Magic Book.
——————————
Thousands of meters deep under the sea.
A huge crab puffed bubbles leisurely while stuffing a group of lobster people into its mouth.
"Another group of lobster people. It seems there is a tribe of lobster people nearby."
"Mars, you go outside for a walk."
After leaving Guano Island, Ai Lan immediately sat on the mangrove tree and headed towards the Desert Islands.
After walking on the seabed for about a day, he discovered that the closer he got to the Desert Islands, the more and stronger the monsters nearby became.
This phenomenon means that he is rapidly approaching a resource-rich location.
Or to put it simply, he is approaching a large leyline node.
The Deserted Islands should be the only large-scale leyline node in the Deserted Sea.
As for the Lobstermen, there is not much to say.
It has a hard shell, slow speed, and is a marine melee tank unit with obvious advantages and disadvantages.
Not long after, Mars made a discovery nearby.
"Legion Commander, there is a lobsterman tribe ahead, and there seems to be an elite inside."
"Huh? There are elites."
Just walking around on the seabed, I met a wild elite. It seemed that he was very lucky today.
"Mars, lure them here. I want to test the defense of the city wall."
"yes."
The city wall had just been built, and Ai Lan wanted to try its actual effect.
If the effect doesn't work, he won't upgrade the city wall again for a long time.
Name:City Wall
Faction:General Building
Level: Level 1
Durability:2000/2000
Function: Protect the city
Bonus: None
Advanced: 20 units of stone/each side
There were too many stones needed to build the city wall, and Ai Lan did not let the architects use the stone materials.
Surrounding the entire village, if Jingjing is used, all the stones on his body will be wasted.
There are still a lot of drawings on hand, how could Ai Lan be willing to waste them like this?
Soon, Mars led a large group of lobstermen to the vicinity of the Negative Island Crab.
As soon as they saw this huge sea beast, the group of lobstermen were frightened on the spot.
With an elite leader, these wild creatures seem to have become less courageous.
Seeing that they refused to come in, Ai Lan simply canceled the change in the camouflage technique and exposed the mangroves to them.
"It's time to come in this time, right?"
However, due to this change in the mangrove, instead of coming in, the lobster man was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
"Well, I admire their courage."
"Forget it, go directly to their tribe."
It seems that the function of the city wall is difficult to test, but the rune bricks currently have no trace at all. It is still very early to build a high-level city wall.
Ai Lan directed the mangrove tree and quickly arrived at the lobster man's tribe.
This time, with the ties of home, these giant lobsters finally stopped running away and chose to fight hard.
But facing the terrifying monsters that are like giant islands in the sea, their resistance is completely meaningless.
Ai Lan even took some time to try out the combat power of the tree people at the bottom of the sea.
The result is very bad.
The huge pressure of the deep sea and the undercurrent of the seafloor have a great impact on the tree people.
He needs to cultivate a kind of water treant as soon as possible that can fight on the bottom of the sea.
"Mars, hold this elite back."
As an elite lobster man, Mars can actually solve the problem himself.
But Ai Lan wanted to leave his experience to architects, so of course he couldn't let Mars kill it.
Soon, entangled by countless roots, all the creatures in the Lobster Man tribe were captured and thrown into the Forbidden Demon Prison.
The level of this lobster man elite is not high. It seems that he is a wild elite who awakened accidentally.
The closer you get to the leyline node, the more naturally elite creatures there will be.
And if you live in a city, this probability will be magnified many times.
Under Ailan's will, Mars knocked out the lobsterman elite with a shield, and then countless roots wrapped around its body and dragged it to prison.
"Do you want to persuade me to surrender?"
There are still too few marine elites in the team. If they can persuade one lobster man to surrender, their combat effectiveness in the sea will be greatly enhanced.
With this idea in mind, Ai Lan tried to persuade the lobsterman elite to surrender.
Naturally, the result was very bad. The other party didn't bother to pay attention to Ai Lan at all, and just yelled desperately to let it out.
"Okay, another experience pack."
I have to say that having your own city and your own prison is really a very pleasant thing.
He can deal with these prisoners however he wants. This is not much more comfortable than simply killing them.
Ai Lan doesn't plan to deal with this group of giant lobsters right away. He hasn't finished plundering this tribe of lobstermen on the bottom of the sea yet.
Name: Lobster Cave
Faction: Ocean Department
Level: Level 1
Durability:1000/1000
Stock: 36
Price: 50 gold coins
Function: Produce 18 lobsters per week
Bonus: None
Advanced: Pearl 50 units
"The quantity is quite large."
Ai Lan casually recruited all the lobster men and threw them into the city. A large number of soldiers could be stationed in the city.
Soldiers in stationed status can receive attribute bonuses from their commanders without the need for leadership.
Of course, soldiers who are stationed cannot leave the building where they are stationed.
Moreover, the commander must be in this building to provide bonuses to soldiers.
"Kaka, do you think we can plant a tree that can fight naval battles in the fairy garden?"
"Boss, unless you dig a very deep pool, then we have to buy special marine tree species."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to grow sea-fighting tree people."
"That's it, forget it."
There is nothing they can do if they can't plant it for the time being. Maybe they can go to Huangyi Town and have a look. There might be some surprises in this pirate city.
"By the way, are there any mutated tree species in the garden recently?"
Ai Lan hasn't spent time in the garden for a while. During this time, Kaka has been taking care of the plants.
"There are no benign mutations, but the number of tree species we have cultivated is already very large."
The land in the Fairy Garden is growing every day.
Every once in a while, Kaka will plant some new varieties of trees.
Although these trees will not be used in the short term, once Kaka masters more gardening skills, they can start hybridization and seed selection.
After occupying the lobster man's lair, Ai Lan searched around this small underwater tribe.
Found a small treasure chest, 10 units of crystals and 2000 gold coins.
The treasure chest is still the same as before, adding a lucky spell and throwing it to Ren to open.
"Get the Talisman of Life."
Talisman of Life [Level 1 Treasure]: A relatively common small alchemical talisman, placed in the utility column, with a health value of +20.
Ai Lan threw the useless little talisman directly to Mars.
The Seahorse Knights have been performing very well recently. It can only be said that Mars returned to his true home court as soon as he returned to the sea.
What he lacks now is a marine cavalry force. Without the cavalry force, many of Mars' abilities cannot be used.
Single charge and group charge are two completely different concepts.
But Ai Lan didn't know where to recruit a group of marine cavalry for Mars. Cavalry was rare, let alone marine cavalry.
"Wright, come to the prison, it's time to upgrade your level."
It seems that Ai Lan is determined to raise the level of this architect by force.
Wright's combat prowess was almost negligible. Even with a refined hand crossbow, he still shot for a long time before killing the elite lobster man in the prison.
However, it is said that this guy has recently been researching new strains of bacteria. The special spores harvested from the tree elders may give Ai Lan an unexpected surprise.
"Your elite unit - Wright, has upgraded its architect level"
"Architect level: 1→2."
"Light's intelligence increased: 17 → 18."
"Wright has upgraded his skill Excellence: Beginner → Intermediate."
Keep improving [Intermediate level]: Consume more resources, improve the function and durability of the building, and have a chance to improve the building level. Slightly increase the upgrade success rate.
Ai Lan did not let Wright learn new architect skills, but directly promoted him to Excellence.
After upgrading this skill, there is almost no change in other effects.
The only change is that the success rate of upgrading buildings has increased.
In other words, the improvement of construction ability by excellence is still 50%, and it has not increased.
