Chapter 203: Only the Second Wave?
The Great Elder had used the ‘Mimicry’ skill to disguise itself as a water element so that any water-type or even ice-type attacks would not attack it.
The first thing it saw when it saw the Snow Spirit Fox was its opponent’s attributes.
Just now, Mcgee had also used fire attacks and did not deal any damage to the Giant Frost Ape that was guarding it.
Therefore, the Great Elder had misjudged Mcgee’s strength to a certain extent.
Now, it had tasted the damage of the Fire Dragon bite with its flesh.
After living on the Whirlpool Islands for too long, the Great Elder had already forgotten the feeling of fire.
Water was an element that restrained fire, but ice was controlled by fire. This was the miraculous nature of this world.
The Elder’s face was completely red from the Fire Dragon’s illumination.
Before its blizzard could form, it was entirely engulfed by the Fire Dragon’s bite.
“The thousand-year history of our Frost Giant Ape…”
The Frost Giant Ape’s body was initially covered in thick fur, but the blazing flames ignited it. Then, its body turned into ashes.
It was gently blown by the wind and scattered in the air.
[Congratulations to Mcgee for defeating the Frost Giant Ape leader. The reward is 1000 points. The other members of the alliance receive 100 points.]
[The second wave of attacks has ended.]
As the system notification sounded, the Frost Ape woke up from its madness.
They had suffered heavy losses. However, when they were escaping, they still brought along the corpses of their companions.
“It’s you!” During the process of the Frost Ape’s hind legs, some of the Apes who had come into contact with Mcgee in the meeting room recognized him.
Mcgee and the Snow Spirit Fox stood where they were.
The Giant Frost Apes had obviously noticed the news of the Great Elder’s death. The young and arrogant Giant Frost Apes even wanted to make a move on Mcgee, but they were stopped by the Giant Apes beside them.
The Snow Spirit Fox did not think much of it. With their strength, she did not put them in her eyes at all.
The people on the city wall were all stunned. Mcgee actually stood among the Giant Frost Apes and watched them leave calmly.
The Giant Frost Apes had no intention of attacking him.
How did they do it?
“You have to live well,” Mcgee suddenly shouted at the Giant Frost Apes that were leaving.
If they did not leave the Whirlpool Islands…
If they were not affected by the Blood Moon…
Among the departing Frost Apes, a few of them looked at Mcgee with hatred in their eyes.
They did not say anything but silently left with the corpses of their companions.
[Congratulations to the Mcgee Alliance for repelling two waves of Blood Moon attacks.]
[The third wave of attacks will arrive in an hour. Players, please be fully prepared.]
Mcgee did not have time to be immersed in his sadness. He returned to the castle and once again said to the survivors on the city wall, “Everyone, go and repair the city wall. It will be the same as before.”
“Okay.”
“What’s the time now?”
“It’s around three o’clock in the morning.”
“It’s almost dawn. Does the Blood Moon really have to last for more than thirty hours?”
Mcgee said weakly.
Just the second wave of attacks made him feel powerless.
If nothing went wrong, the next wave of attacks would have subdued beasts of the same level as the Snow Spirit Fox, at level 15.
How long can he last?
However, at this moment, Mcgee thought of the Flood Dragon and could not help but feel a little angry.
“I asked you to build a tornado barrier to protect our home. What about the wind?” Mcgee asked the Flood Dragon.
The Flood Dragon answered a little embarra.s.sedly, “You might not believe me, but I tried to wrap the home with a tornado, but I failed.
“It’s like there’s a mysterious force surrounding my home. Every time a tornado is about to take shape, it will automatically disperse.”
Mcgee did not believe this cunning fellow. He turned his gaze to the Giant Diving Crocodile that had been following him all along.
The Giant Diving Crocodile nodded in agreement with his explanation.
Actually, Mcgee also felt that the system had set up an obstacle for him. After all, if their home could be set up by a powerful familiar like the Flood Dragon, they would not encounter any danger during the exploration.
It was the exact opposite of the concept of ‘survival’.
Could it be that they could only use their familiars to fight the enemy head-on?
Mcgee was a little hesitant. The system notification earlier said that there were twelve waves of attacks on the city. Just thinking about it made him feel tired.
In less than an hour, there would be another wave of strong attacks.
He had a headache.
“What’s wrong?” Zhao Ling Er had just finished repairing the city wall with the Dwarf Artisan when she saw Mcgee in a daze.
“Twelve consecutive waves of attacks. I wonder if the home… no, the Alliance can hold on.” Mcgee sighed.
“Ah, there’s nothing we can do about that.”
“But you can understand the heavy burden you have to bear.” Zhao Ling Er took out a jade stone from her pocket and handed it to Mcgee.
“Thank you for everything you’ve done for us.”
Mcgee took the jade stone. It turned out to be a blue-grade accessory.
[Lotus Jade]
[Grade: Blue]
[Description: When you’re upset, touching the jade can calm you down.]
[Attribute: Calm down + 10]
“Calm down?” This was the first time Mcgee had seen this attribute. He handed the jade to the Snow Spirit Fox, but there was no reaction.
“Could it be a hidden attribute?”
Seeing Mcgee’s serious look, Zhao Ling Er did not bother him anymore. She quietly took the Dwarf Artisan to repair the next wall.
Although it could be repaired directly with points, it would be faster if the Artisan helped.
Time was money.
There were less than twenty minutes before the third wave of attacks. As Mcgee was the main fighting force, he naturally did not need to worry about such a small matter.
After Mcgee’s repeated tests, he finally discovered something.
“Calm isn’t a familiar’s attribute, but… a human’s…”
“It’s too amazing.” When Mcgee put the jade around his neck, he felt that his previous impatience had completely disappeared.
The Blood Moon attack had a total of twelve waves of attacks.
Then, he recalled the description of the mission.
[Killing the leader means the end of the attack.]
A bold idea arose in Mcgee’s mind. If he did not want to keep allowing the system to sp.a.w.n powerful monsters until they were completely defeated…
It would be better to capture their leader in the next wave of attacks or banish him to a corner at the edge of the world so that he could slowly find it.
Mcgee was looking for a bug in the system again.
But he did not think it was a bug. The previous method of farming levels was to exploit a loophole in the system.
But the Blood Moon kept sp.a.w.ning monsters to drive the players to death.
This was only a reasonable way to avoid risks.
“Zhao Ling Er…” When Mcgee came back to his senses, he called out to Zhao Ling Er and her Dwarves who were busying themselves.
“Do you guys have a way to create a prison that can isolate the abilities of the familiars?”
Mcgee did not dare to guarantee that if he imprisoned the next level-14 familiar leader, there would be the danger of the Alliance being dismantled.
