Chapter 559 Storm. Lock On. (2/2)
One would be able to carry out the mission by buying a single detector, but Han Xiao did not limit the number of detectors that the players could buy. The detector could be damaged, and a small portion of players had bought more than one detector. Coincidentally, Nine Tail Fox was one of those players!
The next moment, his health was depleted, and Nine Tail Fox let out a crazed burst of laughter before he turned into a ball of white light.
”Hahaha, this daddy here got the top prize!”
As long as he completed the mission, so what if he died once?
The Mutation Source retracted his arm and seemed to be puzzled about why there was no corpse. The Mutation Source then stood where Nine Tail Fox had disappeared and fell into a daze. As for the detector that was buried in the mud, it was completely ignored by him.
In the mud, the numbers on the detector shot up, and they finally broke the limit. This electromagnetic current was then sent out wirelessly.
At the same time, all the players on Planet Aquamarine received a notification on their interface.
_____________________
[Mutation Source] has ended.
Mission completed by Nine Tail Fox.
_____________________
All around the world, many players were dumbfounded.
”This… it has only been a day, but the mission is over‽”
”Who is Nine Tail Fox?”
”I know him. He's a core member of Drizzling Rivers.”
The players broke out in fervent discussion. The end of the mission was truly too abrupt, and the others did not even get a consolation prize. The speed at which their dreams had shattered was too frightening.
However, they had only paid a small price, so the players were not too disappointed. They were only extremely envious of Nine Tail Fox.
Drizzling Rivers immediately questioned Nine Tail Fox and issued a guild notice of the Mutation Source's coordinates. With the mission being over, the coordinates were not important anymore. To a guild, announcing this piece of unimportant information to everyone was the best way to earn goodwill.
All the players began to flock toward the basin. While they had failed the mission, according to the mission introduction, there would definitely be a part two to the quest. None of them were willing to miss out on this.
The players on the other continents were extremely helpless. It was not possible for them to cross over the ocean in such a short amount of time. However, those on the Western Continent could seize the advantage.
All the players took out their mobility equipment or sprinted toward the basin. Very quickly, a few hundred players were gathered around the basin, and they all kept their distance from the herd of beasts.
Among the spectating players, there were quite a few players who were from guilds. The guild leader of Guild of Gods, Jupiter, was also present.
”Guild Leader, what should we do next? Should we attack the herd of beasts?” a member of the Guild of Gods asked.
”After finding the Mutation Source,” Jupiter replied, ”a battle will definitely follow. We should have the chance to participate in the storyline as well and will probably gain progress on the Main Storyline Mission.”
Looking at the players in the surrounding, Jupiter decided to organize them into groups and shouted for their attention.
”Everyone, this is probably the Boss of the Mutation Disaster Storyline. All of you have seen that the number of enemies is immense, and a single guild won't be enough. It would be best for us to work together and not rashly provoke the herd of beasts. We should wait for more people to join us…”
There was nothing wrong with those words. In the face of the endless number of beasts before them, the numbers that they had were far from sufficient. All the players understood this and nodded in agreement upon hearing those words.
At that moment, before Jupiter could even finish his proposal, a loud swooshing sound was heard from the sky.
Rumble!
The few hundred players by the basin subconsciously looked up and saw the BlackLight Stealth slice through the sky and hover above the basin.
”That's… that's Black Star!”
The few hundred players were shocked.
