Chapter 9 America's Number One Player? Just a Little Bit of Food on My Side
"Hahaha!"
With my size, wouldn't I be invincible in this sea area?
Just as Lei Dong was getting excited, little did he know that his defection was in the delivery process...
At the edge of the reef trench lies an unexplored area of sea known as the "Abyss of Sighs" by Ordovician players.
The seabed here has an extremely complex topography, with numerous sharp obsidian reefs.
It also contains several extremely active deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
The scalding hot water, rich in minerals, mingled with the icy seawater, giving rise to an extremely rich community of prehistoric microorganisms.
It also attracted countless dangerous predators.
This is a standard high-risk, high-reward "new map".
At this moment, at the entrance to this abyss, five enormous arthropods are swaggering along with the ocean currents.
Leading the pack was a giant horseshoe crab (sea scorpion) that was an astonishing five meters long and covered in dark gold heavy armor!
Its pair of enormous claws, resembling hydraulic shears, opened and closed casually in the seawater, easily snapping several unfortunate juvenile horn beetles in two.
Behind it followed four mutated sea scorpions, each about two to three meters long and with different shapes.
Like a disciplined prehistoric heavy guard.
In the exclusive communication channel of the [Starsea Federation Region (America)], there was a burst of cheerful praise.
【Starry Sea Experiencer - 012 (Jack)】:
[My God! Arthur, your current physique is absolutely perfect!]
A five-meter-tall giant sea scorpion—that's definitely the highest level of combat power currently displayed in the entire Ordovician sand table, right?
【Starry Sea Experiencer - 044 (Tom)】:
Of course! Don't you know who Boss Arthur is? He's a top-tier e-sports prodigy secretly trained by the Star Sea Federation military!
Moreover, our region received five extra rewards from the system, and all the resources were allocated to our leader.
Even if they encounter those so-called prehistoric behemoths now, the boss can tear them to shreds with his pliers!
Surrounded by a crowd of people, the five-meter-long sea scorpion proudly raised its highly venomous barbed tail.
【Starry Sea Experiencer - 001 (Arthur)】:
What's so special about this? My goals go far beyond this.
Those idiots on Black Tide Island, instead of taking the perfectly good resources, they insisted on turning into poisonous insects to block the Yunxia people's starting village.
What a waste of time!
Once I devour that legendary deep-sea titan worm in this new map.
Pushing the genetic lock to its peak, the entire online world will become our Star Sea Federation's backyard!
Arthur was arrogant, but he had the right to be arrogant.
In this early stage, when the vast majority of players can only be like insects or small fish, shivering in the cracks of rocks.
He has already pushed his gene progression to the limit of the current version by taking advantage of the region's resource allocation and his own extremely strong gaming talent.
It has a body length of five meters, indestructible giant claws, and a venomous tail capable of piercing any armor.
Arthur felt that he was now the only god in this primeval ocean.
"The hydrothermal vent area is just ahead, everyone please be on guard."
Clear out all edible high-level creatures along the way, leaving none for players from other regions…
Before Arthur could finish his tactical deployment in the channel, his keen compound eyes suddenly caught a very unusual scene.
Two hundred meters ahead, there should have been a wide ocean current canyon.
But in the center of the canyon, a huge "mountain of flesh" with a gray-black rock texture appeared out of nowhere.
It almost completely blocked the passage to the entire canyon.
【Starry Sea Experiencer - 012 (Jack)】:
[Boss, it looks like the road ahead is blocked by falling rocks? Should we take a detour?]
【Starry Sea Experiencer - 001 (Arthur)】:
[Taking a detour? The Starsea Federation doesn't have the word "retreat" in its dictionary! This mere rock, I'll smash it to pieces!]
Arthur sneered and arrogantly brandished his giant claws, his eight segments kicking violently off the seabed.
Its massive body, like a heavy main battle tank, crashed into the "mountain of flesh".
However, just as he rushed to within thirty meters of that "mountain of flesh"...
The "rock" covered with barnacles and seabed mud suddenly... moved.
"Buzz—"
As the seawater violently churned, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the gray-black "rock".
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying giant eye, the size of a truck tire, with a ghostly yellow color and a cross-shaped pupil in the center, slowly opened!
There was no trace of the confusion that belonged to a lower beast in that eye.
All that remains is an extreme indifference, a condescending attitude towards food.
"What the fk?!"
Arthur's forward-rushing figure came to an abrupt halt on the seabed, kicking up a cloud of murky sand.
His pair of enormous claws, which he was so proud of, suddenly looked like two ridiculous toothpicks in front of this terrifying giant eye.
【Starry Sea Experiencer - 001 (Arthur)】:
[Everyone back off! That's not a stone! It's alive! That's a living monster!]
System! Immediately scan the target species' data!
Arthur's voice was completely distorted by extreme terror on the communication channel.
[Ding! The system is scanning for the target...]
[WARNING! A serious logical error has occurred in the gene tree of the target species!]
[Warning! Scan results: Cephalopod - Abyssal Demonized Giant Octopus (Hidden Mutant)!]
[Era: Carboniferous Period (Future)!]
[Estimated body length: Over 25 meters!]
When the system's blood-red scan results were shared on the Starsea Federation squad's retina, everyone went crazy.
【Starry Sea Experiencer - 012 (Jack)】:
Octopus...?! My God! What kind of international joke are you playing on me?!
We're living in the Ordovician period, 500 million years ago! Where did this octopus come from?
Even the bony fish haven't evolved yet, how could there be an octopus!
【Starry Sea Experiencer - 044 (Tom)】:
"This is impossible! Twenty-five meters long? It's bigger than one of our frigates!"
This is a system bug! It's cheating! Run!!
The once arrogant and domineering Starsea Squad was now like mice seeing a cat, terrified and turning to flee in panic.
Meanwhile, Lei Dong slowly dispelled his [Abyss Disguise].
Looking at the few sea scorpions in front of him who were running away in a panic, a hint of mockery flashed in his huge cross-shaped pupils.
"Hey, isn't this the number one ranked player in the Star Sea Federation?"
Lei Dong was on his way to the ambush zone set up by players on Black Tide Island when he unexpectedly ran into these plump and strong "American lobsters" on the way.
For Lei Dong now, these so-called "top predators" of the Ordovician period are really just snacks.
"Since we've run into each other, let's grab a late-night snack while we can."
After all, such a big lobster would be a shame not to dip it in soy sauce.
Lei Dong was too lazy to even use the water spray to accelerate.
The massive, shadow-like mantle contracted slightly, revealing a deep-sea tentacle, over ten meters long and as thick as an ancient serpent.
Like a black lightning bolt tearing through the darkness, it shot out in an instant!
too fast!
Speed and power that completely surpassed the limits of Ordovician life comprehension!
"No!!!"
