Chapter 585: Invisible Command Level Monster
These chameleons were above Level 60, hence the ratio of Elites was nearly half. The bounty that came out of them was better as well.
Quickly, the sea was filled with many pieces of white and shiny loot.
Although the number of monsters is large, the number of players was not laughable. Their firepower was extremely aggressive as well.
As a result, the remote players were still attacking, and those short-range players which did not have the chance to attack had driven their boats to the place where the chameleons died and started picking up the loot.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a storm boat that was picking up the equipment was suddenly hit by something, and the whole thing was overturned, as several of the players on the ship fell into the sea.
One of the Scout players was directly hit and fell out down-wind of their Storm Boat.
"What's the situation? From the size of these lizards, they should not be able to crash the boat." Big Pineapple looked strangely at the suddenly overturned Storm Boat.
"Well, no, there's a big guy." Feng Luo noticed that from the area covered by the player's fire which was near the sea, new ripples had formed without them knowing. Some of them were more frequent than the Elite colored chameleons and the distance between the ripples was much farther.
"It's a Commander Monster, with more than 50,000 health points. Everyone, be careful, don't let them come close!" The Red Queen's high-profile female Scout, with her scouting talent, was shouting instructions.
This monster was much larger than the Elite lizard and was enough to threaten the boats at sea.
However, they could not see their target in this situation.
Not everyone had enough eye power to differentiate between the Elite and Commander monsters from the water column which was splashing due to the skills and the bullets hitting it.
"Wow, sh*t... the water is poisonous!" This time, the players which fell out of their storm boats, could not help curse out.
"-453, -445, -456..."
Poison damage was continuously dealing damage numbers above these players' heads after they fell into the water.
"It's not that the sea is poisonous, it's the poison from the color-changing lizards which had died in the sea before." Digital Cat said after thinking this through.
Holding a medical pistol in her hand, she fired a therapeutic bullet at that Scout player.
Since the system named this creature a Hypertoxic Chameleon lizard, it was obvious that the toxicity from these creatures was its main attacking move.
It was rather unexpected for this toxicity to cause hundreds of damage points every second after being diluted by seawater. If it was a direct bite, the drop in health points would have been disastrous.
"Damn... This toxicity also has visual disturbances that can make people visually impaired. Doctor, give me an antidote!" The players who fell into the water in front of them were swearing, and after obtaining some health points from Digital Cat's healing shot, they frantically asked her for aid again.
"Pop!"
Digital Cat followed their requests and shot an antidote over.
"-404, -402, -399..."
"The toxic damage is only reduced by 10%. This is a high-grade specialty toxin, so the primary antidote effect is too poor." Digital Cat looked at the change in the health point value on the player's head and frowned.
"Class-D therapeutic agents, primary antidotes..." That was when the player saw the system prompt pop up in the field of view. After being stunned for two seconds, his face immediately became a little angry and turned back.
"F*ck, are you intentionally fooling around with me? Who would use a primary antidote as players of this level?"
Not to mention the fact that the players who were participating in this event were all-star players, who should be carrying at least a C-level treatment agent. Who would ever, in this type of dangerous situation, only use this kind of medicine which was only suitable for low-level players.
"Oh..." There was no way he would know that Digital Cat was unable to use antidotes of an intermediate level and above since she had not been medically trained.
Of course, in the face of this kind of people who would only swear at others who took the initiative to help them, even if Digital Cat had high-level antidotes, she would not use it on them.
Next to her, White Crescent noticed the situation and shot an expert level antidote over, decisively causing his poison damage to fall below 250.
Even if it was an expert antidote, it could only reduce the damage by 50%.
The lizard's poison was a special toxin, so his health points would fall rapidly again if he stayed in the sea after the antidote's effect ran out.
However, because of his words just now, neither the Red Queen nor Zhao Yun, had intentions to drive their Storm Boats over to rescue him.
At this time, the two Storm Boats did not have the spare time to save him, because the entire team on the island, for the time being, had been caught in a mess.
They had not even gone onto the island, and the strength of the first wave of monsters they encountered was a little stronger than what everyone had predicted.
In addition to the large number of Elite lizards that charged out from the adjacent beach, there were at least ten Commander Grade chameleons mixed in.
If it was an ordinary team, they would suffer great losses at this stage.
Although the monster was above Level 50, its strength would not have huge changes.
Compared to Level 50 and below monsters that players usually deal with, its attack and defense had been greatly improved and it was not easily defeated.
What's more, they even had the perverted skill of being able to camouflage in the environment.
...
"Bang!"
Feng Luo's Deathwing shifted to the side as a shot hit the "air" which was not further than ten meters from his position.
"-15030!"
A golden impact damage value appeared, a color-changing lizard that charged ten meters in front of the crowd was hit into devastation.
"Wow!"
On the surface of the sea, a pile of loot broke out. There were energy crystals, two material-like items, a Chip, and a potion-like item.
"Another Chip! Feng, your luck is really good today. Another fatal blind shot and another Chip as loot." Big Pineapple's eyes lit up, as he had reached out to help Feng Luo pick up the Chip from the sea.
This was a second-generation Intermediate Biological Chip. That is a Commander Pet Chip.
"Blind shot?" On the glass Storm Boat close by, Black Panther, who was holding a sniper rifle as well, turned and looked at Feng Luo.
"No." Feng Luo shook his head.
That was not a blind shot, but one that relied on observation and judgment.
It was one made based on the size of the Commander lizard seen earlier and the spacing of the ripples, then determining the fatal position of their heads.
Following the ripples on the surface of the sea, grasping the opportunity and shooting down the chameleon with a shot.
Of course, in the twenty-plus snipers who participated in this activity, not many would have been able to do so, including the one who was hyped as "the first sniper of the war season."
The man, Invikill, was instead fully wet while holding his sniper rifle and constantly having damage numbers above his head, who was climbing onto a storm boat from the sea.
...
The chaos of the battle persisted for some time.
Fortunately, it was all expert players here who were still calm and steady facing this situation.
After nearly five minutes of the land battle, there were no new chameleons appearing on the beach.
Other than the small portion of the players who were guarding the Nine-Star Guild warship, the rest of the players had officially stepped onto this island which was going to be reclaimed.
Additionally, the rewards were still fulfilling despite the fact that this strategy was slightly damaging.
Other than Feng Luo, there were two other players who had gotten leadership-level Pet Chips, plus at least fifty-plus Elite level Chips.
Based on this wave of monsters alone, the Chips dropped had a market value nearing a few millions of credits.
Needlessly to say, this island, having an area of a hundred square kilometers, would definitely have monsters of similar amounts.
