Chapter 149: The Whirlpool in the Center of the Lake
Looking at the female elf in white in front of him, Sherlock felt for the first time that "Empowering the Country and the City" was not just an exaggerated modification. If he hadn't had to make money to make ends meet, he would have really wished to just look at her like this until he remembered her figure in his mind.
.
Resisting the desire to stop, he moved to the side, then transformed into a giant swamp frog and jumped into the lake.
Perhaps due to the coldness of the lake, Sherlock quickly calmed down as soon as he entered the water. After a few trips, he reached the depths of the lake. This location was almost the refresh point for the two-color and three-color dragon scale carps.
The two-color dragon scale carp is a level 10 wild monster, and it is not difficult to farm it alone.
The key is whether we can find traces of the leader monster. There are dozens of fish at the bottom of the lake. The leader monster has no other characteristics except its larger size, and the underwater light is not very good.
If Frog Eyes' dim vision wasn't quite good, he would have never been sure that he would be able to find the leader monster among the thousands of dragon-scaled carp.
After searching for a long time and still finding nothing, Sherlock temporarily gave up his plan to continue searching. Since they were already diving, he planned to go through the underwater treasure chest first.
If you go further to the middle or downstream, there will be four-color and five-color dragon scale carp. No one can beat this kind of monster above level 30 underwater, even in the blue frog form.
.
The degree of realism in Forgotten Realm is by no means purely realistic based on the five senses. As mentioned before, some theorems of physics are also applicable in the game.
When ordinary players are in the water, in addition to greatly increasing their physical strength, all actions will be affected by the resistance of the water flow.
If it is reflected in data, it will suffer a very high judgment penalty.
For example, if a warrior uses sweep in the water, his strength and agility attributes will be deducted. The result is that his movements will be slower, his damage will be reduced, and if it is a charge or other skill, he will not even be able to activate it.
The impact on spells is even greater, both the success rate of spell casting and the effects of spells are greatly weakened.
Currently, only druids who have turned into aquatic creatures and certain monks with special skills have the ability to fight underwater, but at most they can only brush wild monsters of the same level.
But the good news is that creatures like Dragon Scale Carp are non-active attacking monsters no matter what level they are. As long as you don't actively provoke them, there is no danger.
The lake in Loulanjing was not that big in total. Sherlock swam to the middle after wandering around the outside and not finding any treasure chests.
After searching around and around the whirlpool in the center of the lake, he still found no trace of the treasure chest.
The whirlpool in the middle of the lake in Loulanjing is also a famous scenery around Sequoia Town, and many casual players will come here to take a look.
Some extreme enthusiasts have even rushed into the central vortex, but of course, the end result is no return.
Sherlock naturally did not have the leisure to feel the power of nature, but when his golden eyes were scanning the surroundings, the figure of a player caught his eye.
This is the bottom of the lake. It is more than 90 yards away from the water surface. It is difficult for ordinary players to stay at this depth for a long time. Is this another suicide game?
The player soon noticed the movement behind him and guessed the identity of the person after a moment's thought. After looking at each other, he turned his head again.
Sherlock stayed there and observed for a long time, but never saw the man make any other movements. He neither rushed into the whirlpool nor surfaced to recover his strength. He just stood motionless at the bottom of the lake and stared at the whirlpool in front of him.
"Forget it, let's continue looking for the treasure chest." Although he knew that the other party might have some special purpose, there was no point in waiting like this, and he always felt that the person in front of him was not easy to deal with.
After circling the whirlpool, Sherlock still found nothing. In theory, such a lake should have a treasure chest, but now that he has rummaged through it, he has found nothing that is unreasonable.
No, he didn't really look through it, and there was still the last place, the center of the vortex, that he hadn't entered yet.
Thinking about it this way, the appearance of a whirlpool in a lake is an extremely unusual thing. It cannot exist just as a natural wonder. The possibility of a treasure chest or other treasures inside is very high.
It's just that some players have tested it before. Once they get close to the whirlpool, they will be sucked into it, and then their health points will be wiped out instantly under the huge tearing force. There is no way to enter the center of the whirlpool, and you can't even see it.
Other players can't do it, and Sherlock thinks he can't do it either, but that's not necessarily true for the person in front of him.
To be able to stay in the water in human form for such a long time, with eyes still staring at the whirlpool, is to cause trouble no matter what.
When the big boss gets into trouble, it's okay for him to follow behind and get a little bit of trouble. Hemp, the treasure in the game, is always divided in half when you meet him.
Then, the two people under the lake looked at the huge whirlpool that stretched from the bottom to the lake surface. However, the mysterious player had a serious expression, while Sherlock's eyes were blank and in a daze.
Rumble! A loud thunder spread through the lake to the bottom, waking up Sherlock who was wandering outside.
"Is it raining?"
"It's finally raining!"
The two people at the bottom of the lake said softly at the same time.
And above, the strong wind that had blown up earlier had already caused waves on the lake surface.
The first drop of rain hit the lake, indicating that a heavy rain was coming. The fishing players surrounding the female elf finally put away their covetous intentions, either went offline or returned to the town, and left Lou Lanjing one after another.
.
In the end, only the barefoot female elf was left holding her knees and quietly accepting the baptism of the heavy rain.
The waves on the lake were turbulent, and the movement at the bottom of the lake was not small. As the storm came, the vortex in the center became more violent. It was no longer a straight line, but a giant python that kept twisting around, turning the surroundings.
The lake water also caused vibrations.
Another lightning struck, and with the brief light, Sherlock saw the mysterious figure move and rush towards the center of the vortex.
At that moment, he thought about rushing in, but in the end he gave up this unreliable plan.
The current whirlpool is even more terrifying than when it was calm. The other party who dared to rush in may have some basis for it. If he couldn't follow it without thinking, he would probably be dead on the spot.
It's not impossible to imitate a cat and a tiger, but at least you have to know the difference between the two sides.
When the rainstorm started, Sherlock's frog eyes were fully observing, but the environment at this time was too obstructive to the line of sight. After the player rushed into the whirlpool, he couldn't even see his shadow, and could only vaguely hear the constant sound.
A roaring sound similar to the roar of a dragon was heard.
