This monster is so terrifying, and the mysterious NPC inside doesn't know what to expect. If the other party wasn't chanting some spell, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
Unlike Sherlock and his party, the players who had been staying in the outer valley had only seen the mutations of wild monsters at this moment. They did not have much fear in their hearts, but more of curiosity about the unknown plot and desire for the best treasures.
The Python Disaster is not the first small-scale regional plot to be triggered. It has appeared many times throughout the game. The causes are different, such as the actions of some evil organizations, the riots of magical energy, and the actions of some gods.
Sacrificial activities, etc. are all possible.
But what they have in common is the rich harvest for the participants. This participant does not just stay in the regional plot and slay mobs, but refers to the real trigger, promotion and terminator of the plot.
As for what you can get, it all depends on the player's performance in the plot. The system does not have any restrictions or regulations. Only when the plot is completed will a comprehensive evaluation and corresponding rewards be given.
Seeing those players rushing towards the inner valley, Sherlock could only bless them to die peacefully here.
Finally, when he was halfway to the outer valley, the NPC's spell had finally finished chanting. The thunderclouds in the sky flashed a bright light, and a thick bolt of lightning struck down where the crowd was densest.
When the lightning hit the ground, a white light flashed directly near the impact point, and dozens of players went directly to see the God of Creation.
Immediately afterwards, more and more lightnings continued to strike from the thunderclouds. At first, there were still choices to go to crowded places. As the players dispersed, the landing points of the lightning became irregular.
In the end, the entire Snake Valley was filled with magical fluctuations of lightning elements.
However, all this has nothing to do with Sherlock, because just a moment ago, he just ran out of the thundercloud.
Apart from him, only the ranger Yue Bai from Hei Yun's team escaped, and the rest were all buried in the sea of thunder.
In fact, many people know that the situation is not good and want to run away, but the mutated snakes and the players swarming together have added many obstacles to the escape process.
Furthermore, the NPC's spell was so powerful that even Sherlock was almost hit several times by the thunder and lightning in the sky.
"The plot in this area is a bit too big. The game company is really not afraid of players complaining." Sherlock was also a little unexpected about this result.
Few games dare to set up plots with such a high mortality rate. It seems that Skynet's statement that the control of the game is completely handed over to the mastermind may not be true.
"It seems that the Supreme Forest is not peaceful this time." Even though he was wearing a mask, Sherlock could still hear the worry in Yuebai's tone.
He also couldn't understand this argument. If you want to play games in peace and still have fun, it would be better to have a race war or an alien invasion. Only in this way would it be interesting.
No, no, he is a druid after all. This kind of thinking is very dangerous.
Well, in order to protect the peace of the world, let’s think about what the plot of this area is going on.
From what he saw and heard, the most likely possibility was that Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko stole something from that NPC, thus arousing the other party's anger. Such something should be related to Talos, the King of Storms.
Sherlock, the Storm King, still knew that this cruel and angry god was extremely addicted to chaos and destruction and was the nominal leader of the Furious Gods.
Talos' priesthood includes storm, destruction, earthquake, fire, and riot. In a sense, he does control part of the power of nature, but it is just the part that represents destruction, so there are still a few druids who can
Believe in him.
From the gods we believe in, we can roughly get some information about the believers. In terms of alignment, there must be chaos and evil. Even judging from the behavior of this NPC, it is very likely that it is chaotic evil.
So the next question is how to participate in this plot. Now that he has met it, Sherlock is definitely not satisfied with being a melon-eater. He has to find a way to take a bite of such a big cake.
Needless to say, the triggering of the plot, the hammer in Misaka Mikoto's hand must be the key mission prop, then what is left is the promotion and conclusion of the plot.
Ending is easier said than done. Killing that NPC will naturally end it once and for all, and the drop must be worthy of his status as a plot BOSS.
But this can only be done by the organization of the big guild. It is impossible for individual players to conquer this mutated Snake Valley. The most they can do is to gamble and grab a wave of drops.
So he has focused his attention on promoting the plot. This is where he can make a fuss. Sherlock instantly thought of several ways to get involved. The specific methods will depend on the situation.
While Sherlock was thinking about the plot of this area, the forum "Supreme Forest" was already very noisy.
The Snake Valley in the Supreme Forest triggered a small regional plot, and thousands of players died unexpectedly. Who should be responsible for this? This very long title is the top discussion thread on the forum, and most of the replies below are the players who just died under lightning.
.
"Skynet Company, the kind of games they make, are all dead." Someone complained about the game company.
"It's unreasonable to not give any hints about who triggered the plot." Some blamed the players.
"Before the regional announcement, I saw a female warrior monk running out with a hammer. Did you see it again?"
"Yes, yes, I saw it too, because female warrior monks are very rare. I wanted to see a few more times, but I didn't expect that she disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Who is that NPC? How can he have such a powerful spell? Can our Master learn it?"
"Learn from you**, **Master, give me**, I have to learn all kinds of spells, have you ever thought about the feelings of our soldiers?"
"Same as above, have you ever thought about how a monk feels?"
…
Well, it was fine at first, but a mage's unintentional question instantly aroused the anger of other professional players, and they were directly kicked out for more than a hundred floors.
Continuing to flip through it, under the analysis of countless details, the whole story gradually became clear. Even the spell was guessed by several people, but no one could give an accurate answer.
The players in each guild responsible for collecting intelligence sorted out the information and sent it to the guild's logistics management, which was then analyzed by the strategy department. A set of participation plans were placed in front of the guild's senior management in less than 3 hours.
The small regional plot is almost prepared for them. Whether it is the expected benefits or the prestige brought by the action, it is what they need, and there is no reason to let it go.
First-rate guilds such as Glory, That Year Flowers Bloom, second-rate guilds Wushuang, Thunder, etc. Even Meteor who came from Sandaba put down what they were doing and prepared to come to Snake Valley to get involved.
