The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe

Chapter 171: Splitting Up Puts You at Risk of Being Caught (Update 3)


Upon hearing Wangzai Little Buns' words, Iron Black Pot immediately intervened to stop him.

"This game is so detailed and realistic, you're aware of how troublesome those two wild bosses we encountered were."

"It's better not to act alone."

"If anything goes wrong, there's no one to help. If we move together, at least we can watch each other's backs."

"Xiao Mantou, don't you think this makes sense?"

"I know your skin is special, making you particularly fast."

"I'm sure you'll say that you'll simply observe from a distance in the sky and won't get close."

"But if you find that there seems to be no danger there, can you really resist the boredom and wait above without getting closer?"

"If you do get closer, are you sure you won't end up like when we encountered those two wild bosses, hiding in the shadows, ready to ambush you at any time?"

"If you intend to come back to find us then..."

"I remember, you seem to have a bit of a problem with directions, right? In this vast sea with nothing to reference, and without vision like mine, can you really come back and find us?"

Wangzai Little Buns' eyebrows slightly furrowed upon hearing this, then he sighed: "Alright, you've got a point. Let's act together as a group; at least we can rely on each other."

Iron Black Pot nodded slightly: "That's it, there's no need to rush in everything, taking steady steps is key. We're teaming up, not moving solo, be careful not to be caught."

"Just like playing a competitive game, no matter how cautious you are, there's always a risk of being caught when moving solo."

After speaking, Iron Black Pot didn't say more, indicating to everyone to pick up the pace.

After advancing a considerable distance, Iron Black Pot flew back down from the high sky above everyone.

With a hint of astonishment, he began to speak: "I couldn't see it clearly just now, but now I can see the island's details; it's unbelievable, there's actually a war happening up there."

Caged Parrot was slightly taken aback, then paused in his dog paddle motion: "What? Did I hear that wrong? War?"

Iron Black Pot nodded affirmatively and described the scene he had seen: "Yes, I saw a large number of Gana Knights and mages at war with some strange creatures and Merfolk."

Hearing Iron Black Pot's words, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching asked curiously: "Strange creatures? What kind of strange creatures?"

Iron Black Pot slightly organized his language, then began to describe the strange creatures he mentioned:

"Humanoid, but some have fish-like features and skin, while others have traits of shellfish and crustaceans."

Sea Flip reacted immediately: "Like those Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals in cartoons?"

Iron Black Pot's expression was a bit odd: "Emmm... that's a reference, but stranger."

"What now? Do we still get closer?"

Wangzai Little Buns immediately spoke up: "Let's get closer first. Once within sensing range, let's see if there's anyone stronger than us. If there is, we'll slip away; if not... hehe."

"Wouldn't that be enjoyable?"

Sea Flip asked: "Is it a fierce fight?"

Iron Black Pot immediately replied: "Extremely fierce. When I looked earlier, several knights with battle energy covering their weapons had died."

Caged Parrot immediately spoke up: "If the battle energy only covers the weapons and doesn't form a cycle over the whole body, it must be knights below High Tier."

"And in just the short time you looked, several died, indicating the battle is extremely intense."

"As long as we don't get too close, the warring parties definitely won't notice us."

"I think what Xiao Mantou said makes a lot of sense. We should approach quietly and, once within sensing range, check if there's anyone more powerful than us."

"If there is, we can decide to retreat or think of another plan. If there's no one more powerful, then... you know what I mean."

Iron Black Pot nodded: "It seems everyone feels this way... By the way, do you think this could be some large official expansion pack related to an exploration mission, waiting for us to discover it?"

"And now we've become the first to taste the crab, otherwise, such a large-scale war scene doesn't look like a normal situation at all."

Caged Parrot lightly nodded: "There's a possibility you might be right."

"If that's the case, if we manage to get involved, we might trigger something special. Just thinking about it is quite exciting."

Wangzai Little Buns sharpened his two short knives, then eagerly said: "So what are we waiting for? Let's quickly get closer!"

The other players all nodded, and then the group continued to move towards the direction of the island discovered by Iron Black Pot.

Meanwhile, Fang Ka, who was observing and eavesdropping on everything through the Soul Contract by switching to Iron Black Pot's perspective, couldn't help but slightly raise his eyebrows.

"Could it be… that our current position is in the northeastern corner of the Chaotic Sea Domain?" Fang Ka's eyes showed a trace of contemplation.

The reason for thinking this is due to a particular reason.

The Chaotic Sea Domain is located in the central sea between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, and within the sea realm, there are four major forces: the Sea Elf, Fishman, Merfolk, and Gana.

Among them, Gana's territory is the largest, connecting the entire north and half of the west of the Chaotic Sea Domain.

Next is the Merfolk's territory, connecting half of the west and two-thirds of the south of the Chaotic Sea Domain.

Then follows the Sea Elf's territory, connecting the entire east of the Chaotic Sea Domain.

Lastly is the Fishman's territory, connecting one-third of the south of the Chaotic Sea Domain.

This is mainly because the Fishmen have poor reproductive capabilities, which cannot match the other two, and the population base greatly affects the number of mages and knights born.

The larger the population base, naturally, the more Natural Mages and Knights there are.

Hence, it's normal for the Fishmen's territory to be the smallest. On one hand, it's because they don't have such a large population, so they don't need such a large territory. On the other hand, it's because their overall strength is weaker compared to other oceanic forces.

However, the Fishmen's territory is sandwiched between the Sea Elf's and Merfolk's, without adjoining Gana's territory.

Therefore, the war with Gana has always occurred at the borders of the Merfolk and Sea Elf territories.
