The Treasure Trove of the Tide Guild
Choosing Task 1 grants one Epic piece of Equipment.
The task is relatively simple;
it merely requires going to the Deep Sea Cage to close the passage to the Endless Sea.
For others,
Epic Equipment is precious.
But for Lin Yuan,
Epic Equipment can no longer pique his interest.
Choosing Task 2
grants the right to use the mythical weapon, the sword of justice,
and one random legendary piece of Equipment.
This is very tempting for Lin Yuan,
but the task difficulty is also extremely high;
the enemy to face is a Seventh-Rank Monarch.
With Zero and Ayan unable to fight,
relying solely on A Li, Ghost, A'lan, and Tie Chui might not guarantee victory.
Moreover, Lin Yuan still doesn't know the opponent's level.
If the opponent is not over level 60,
he might still be able to give it his all,
but once the opponent's level exceeds 60,
the outcome becomes uncertain.
If the level difference exceeds 20,
attacks will have a crushing effect,
and both Critical Hit rate and Critical Hit damage will increase by fifty percent.
This is very disadvantageous for Lin Yuan's side.
After careful consideration, Lin Yuan did not rashly choose.
Instead, he plans to first explore the Deep Sea Cage Dungeon to assess the situation.
If he can gather five million evolution points,
and promote A Li to a Seventh-Rank Monarch, it would be as easy as turning over his hand.
Having figured this out, Lin Yuan put away the coin of justice,
and picked up the deep sea scepter again.
This thing can directly communicate with the King of the Deep Sea,
it might still be useful, so he'll keep it for now.
After clearing the battlefield, Ghost silently walked behind Lin Yuan,
holding a gem containing death energy in his hand.
“Jie jie jie jie!”
The white bone orb's energy is almost full.
He's about to gain a super invincible, handsome, and cool skill!
Ghost was extremely excited.
Lin Yuan glanced at Ghost,
seeing his genuine happiness,
the billion spent seemed quite worth it.
Mentioning money, Lin Yuan suddenly shouted at Zero,
“Scan the Tidal Guild's base for anything valuable.”
Having just spent 1 billion, he had to make some of it back.
Zero activated its radar,
conducting a comprehensive scan of the Tidal Guild's base,
and indeed found something good.
“300 meters southeast, underground, is the base's treasury.”
“There are quite a few good things inside.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's face lit up with joy.
“What are we waiting for? Let's go.”
The area near the treasury had been carpet-bombed earlier,
turning into a ruin.
Zero transformed into an excavator, and in a few swift movements, dug a passage leading underground.
Entering the treasury,
Lin Yuan's mouth curved into a satisfied smile.
“Not bad, not bad, this trip wasn't in vain.”
Inside the treasury were hundreds of various pieces of Equipment,
with quality ranging from yellow to diamond.
Lin Yuan casually looked around,
but found nothing suitable for himself.
Continuing forward, there were some materials and single-use consumables.
Lin Yuan waved at Zero.
“Zero, pack all these things up and take them back.”
“Yes, sir.”
Several bionic robots emerged from Zero's body,
packing the items in the treasury by category and taking them all away.
Reaching the end of the treasury,
Lin Yuan discovered something useful.
It was a Skill Book exclusive to Summoned Beasts.
【Storm Stab】(SS) Summoned Beast Exclusive
Skill Description: Consumes 10,000 mana points, launches 10 consecutive attacks on 1 target, each attack dealing 100% attack damage, and each attack reducing the target's defense by 5% for 30 seconds. cooldown: 1 minute.
This skill is good; it has a fast attack frequency and comes with a defense-reducing effect.
If A Li learns it,
and if his performance ability happens to reach 100 points,
using Storm Stab twice consecutively,
would directly obliterate the enemy's defense.
Even a Seventh-Rank Monarch,
with defense reduced to 0, wouldn't be impossible to kill.
After cleaning up and ensuring nothing was missed,
Lin Yuan took A Li and the others into the cockpit,
and headed towards the Deep Sea Cage.
Three minutes later, Zhou Ying arrived at the Tidal Guild's base, panting.
Wang Qing and others also arrived at the same time.
“What happened?” Zhou Ying's mouth hung open wide.
“Did a war happen here?!”
The former Tidal Guild base no longer existed,
only broken bricks and tiles and deep pits smelling of gunpowder.
“Lin Yuan did all this by himself!” Xu Kang was stunned.
It was no wonder Xu Kang was so shocked.
The Tidal Guild was, after all, a large guild with several thousand members.
There were many Professionals above level 50 in the guild,
and the guild base also had a defensive Barrier.
It was said that the Guild Leader, Zhong Bai, even had a powerful weapon similar to the Annihilation Barrier.
Even if the Demon Suppression Army attacked,
they wouldn't be able to take down the Tidal Guild in a short time.
Yet, despite all this, the entire guild was razed to the ground.
Lin Yuan accomplished all of this within three minutes.
It was simply inconceivable.
Members of the Law Enforcement Team searched around and reported to Zhou Ying.
“Report, we've checked, no survivors were left at the scene.”
These Law Enforcement Team members were quite experienced,
but they were also shocked by Lin Yuan's methods of slaughter.
Through battle playback,
everyone was able to understand the general situation of the battle.
It showed artillery bombardment first, killing hundreds of people,
followed by a crushing massacre by a swordsman with extremely high attack power.
Most of the deceased Tidal Guild members were killed with a single blow,
their wounds neat and complete,
evidently from the same person's hand.
Zhou Ying's voice changed after hearing his subordinate's report.
“The death interval of the Tidal Guild members didn't exceed 1 minute?”
“That's right,” Captain Song Jinbo of the Second Brigade of the Law Enforcement Team nodded.
“And this was even with the defensive Barrier activated.”
“If the defensive Barrier hadn't been activated, the battle time would have been even shorter.”
Song Jinbo was right.
If Zhong Bai hadn't activated the defensive Barrier,
after two rounds of missiles, there would have been virtually no survivors in the Tidal Guild.
For large-scale destruction, Zero was still the best.
“Can you confirm if Zhong Bai is dead or alive?” Wei Ming asked from the side.
“Zhong Bai, my instrument shows he is dead, but his body was not found.”
“It's highly likely he was annihilated after being hit by a powerful attack.”
Everyone fell completely silent.
Just how powerful must that attack have been?
The opponent was, after all, a level 60 Professional.
Yet, against Lin Yuan, he was like a little chick,
not even leaving a corpse behind.
Wang Qing thought for a moment and said to Zhou Ying,
“Zhou Ying, take your people and stay here to see if you can find any evidence of the Sea God Cult.”
“The destruction of the Tidal Guild has had a significant impact, and we need to provide a satisfactory explanation to the public.”
“Also, immediately issue a warrant for the arrest of Tidal Guild members.”
“Ensure that not a single Tidal Guild member escapes.”
Zhou Ying nodded, “I'll get right on it.”
“Captain Wang, what about Lin Yuan?”
Wang Qing looked north.
“Lin Yuan should have gone to the Deep Sea Cage. Master Wei and I will head there now.”
“Do not spread information about the Deep Sea Cage for now, to avoid unnecessary panic.”
