Chapter 228: #228 - Decisive Moment

"What are you hesitating about?"

"It's a rare collectible! It could be worth 150,000!"

"It's only because we're a fixed group of friends. If it were outsiders, they'd be rushing to snatch it, okay?"

… …

The teammates urged Sour Radish to eat it.

Sour Radish looked troubled.

Careful Sevenflower reacted: "Are you playing with a haptic suit?"

"No, I'm using haptic gloves," Sour Radish explained.

"Oh~~" Everyone understood.

"I've wanted to complain for a while, why does this game have a defecation setting? So this is what it was leading up to?" Sour Radish was speechless.

— Because this setting was too outrageous, when everyone first discovered this mechanism, there were even absurd scenes of hundreds of people gathering to defecate.

It was also because of this that Sevenflower's team spent a lot of effort to build five toilets in the camp.

And this was already the peak of civilization in the 【Chaotic Era】.

Most people just casually found a bush to take care of it.

"Just tell me if you want it or not? If you don't, I'll take it?" Someone was tempted seeing Sour Radish hesitating.

"Yes! It's just a piece of data! What am I afraid of!" Sour Radish switched to keyboard and mouse controls, clicked the mouse to pick up the golden poop, washed it, and threw it into his backpack.

So the little interlude ended here, and a group of people began to repair the toilet.

While repairing, they asked Sour Radish: "How about it, are you going to quit today's truce time?"

Sour Radish was conflicted, "I haven't decided yet."

"I really like playing this game with everyone, and now that the conflicts are getting more and more serious, I also want to stay and protect the camp."

Their large camp of dozens of people, although they had tried their best to get close to the edge of the map, but now everyone, every team was fighting, and of course they couldn't stay out of it.

Lone wolves and small teams came to their door one after another.

Fortunately, when they built the camp, they put a lot of effort into building defenses, and the camp couldn't be easily breached.

A lone wolf with ulterior motives even led a giant lizard as tall as a two-story building to break through the camp's defenses.

Fortunately, they realized the importance of force early on and had already arranged for one-third of the people to explore and hunt to improve their combat power, which barely managed to stop the giant lizard outside.

Leaving the team for a piece of golden poop at this time felt somewhat like deserting.

"Don't think so much! Whether the camp can be preserved to the end depends on luck, and 【Survival Master】 is even more uncertain."

"It's too hard to say what the odds are for everyone to get the bonus."

"It's better for you to sacrifice yourself, quit early, and if you really get the 【Treasure Hunt Master】 bonus, send a few more red envelopes in the group, which is also double insurance."

"Okay then." This reason convinced Sour Radish.

Firmly implement the "turtle" strategy, turtling until the end of time, until the map is wiped out.

Because Sour Radish was leaving, he worked extra hard.

In a blink of an eye, two hours passed, and the truce time arrived.

He picked up his backpack and prepared to exit the game.

But at this time, he suddenly discovered—

The golden poop… was gone!

Sour Radish's eyes widened: "Son of a bitch!"

He slammed the door open and shouted, "Who stole my shit?!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.

Countless eyes looked at Sour Radish.

Sour Radish was very angry.

He didn't think this thing was a great treasure, and he didn't feel bad about losing it—it was said that it was possible to get the 【Treasure Hunt Master】, but it was only possible, and no one knew how high the probability was.

But it was very annoying to have his things stolen!

What made him even more angry was—

The next moment, someone disappeared before his eyes.

Then, this person quickly exited the voice software and chat group, completely disappearing without a trace.

Leaving only a group of people looking at each other.

It took everyone a while to determine that this person's ID was 【Big Red Persimmon】.

Everyone was furious, and Sevenflower immediately expelled this person from the fan club.

Sour Radish was so angry that he ran to Mengjin to post and expose the person, angrily scolding Big Red Persimmon for having no bottom line and stealing even poop.

This "poop stealing" incident was so outrageous that the original trivial matter caused great attention in the player circle.

Big Red Persimmon was crowned with the nickname "Poop Thief" overnight, and his reputation was completely ruined.

The unlucky Sour Radish was angry for a day, but he didn't think about it anymore, and continued to stay and fight with the team.

It was also because of this unexpected stay that he caught up with the wildest battle—

A player team from Baekje, after failing to attack the camp, suddenly went crazy and ran to provoke the Vajra Thunder Rhino.

The exploding flames successfully woke up the Vajra Thunder Rhino, and the troublemaker was trampled to death on the spot.

But soon, someone in the distance fired a gun at the rhino's eyes, and lit the surrounding bonfires to raise smoke columns, pointing the way for the Vajra Thunder Rhino.

The result was also inevitable death.

Then there were more distant gunshots and smoke columns…

Just like this, one after another, they used a death relay to forcibly lead the Vajra Thunder Rhino towards the camp.

The camp immediately fell into a huge crisis.

On Sevenflower's side, everyone was surprised:

"Are these people sick? Wouldn't they be eliminated themselves by doing this?"

"They'd rather die than drag us down? How disgusting!!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Think of a way quickly!"

"What else is there to think about? We can only gamble with the final plan!"

… …

Soon, a 10-person team ran out of the camp and rushed into the sand sea, frantically hammering the wooden stakes they had driven down a few days ago.

The wooden stakes were extremely far apart, extending from the edge of the sand sea all the way to the activity area of the Emperor Sandworm.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ post!

In the blink of an eye, the sand sea began to churn violently!

The Emperor Sandworm stirred up the sandstorm and rushed to the surface, swallowing the wooden stakes and the players together.

Then, without stopping, it rushed towards the more distant wooden stakes!

… …

A death relay exactly like the opponent's!

Their sacrifice was not in vain.

Under the gaze of Sour Radish, Sevenflower, the entire team, players watching the excitement from far and near, and tens of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room—

The Emperor Sandworm, carrying the sandstorm and the Vajra Thunder Rhino with the force of thunder, slammed into each other!

In an instant, it was like Mars colliding with Earth.

The earth trembled violently, and yellow sand covered the sky.

Even players who were very far away felt the violent vibration from the feedback of the haptic suit and the display.

Because at this moment, the entire island was shaking violently!

The vast yellow sand obscured everyone's vision, but the next moment, rumbling thunder sounded in the center of the sandstorm.

Dazzling electric light gathered and burst!

Thick electric arcs pierced through the sandstorm, illuminating the bodies of the two behemoths.

The Emperor Sandworm let out a sharp howl and bit at the Vajra Thunder Rhino again.

Its size was twice as large as the Vajra Thunder Rhino, but it couldn't swallow the rhino in one bite.

Dense sharp teeth bit into the Vajra Thunder Rhino's skin, only splashing out some liquid plasma.

It shocked itself into screaming, but the Vajra Thunder Rhino was unscathed.

But the Vajra Thunder Rhino's golden horn slammed hard, creating a huge wound on the sandworm's body.

The sandworm was injured and in pain, gave up tearing and biting, and instead used its size advantage to knock down the Vajra Thunder Rhino, and dug downwards, wanting to drag it into the depths of the sand sea.

Under the stimulation of the electric current, the rhino actually jumped up and slammed into the sandworm again!

Another heavy impact.

The earth trembled again!

Then, an unexpected victim appeared—

On the towering snow mountain in the center of the island, the thick snow suddenly cracked and rolled down!

"沃! 德! 发!" The brave sniper, in his small camp on the mountainside, looked at the vast white snow falling from the sky and spat out three words weakly.

The endless white snow instantly crushed the camp, leaving only a white expanse.

[Player 【Brave Sniper】 died accidentally due to an avalanche, relics scattered at (462, 483)]

[Player 【Mariko】 died accidentally due to an avalanche, relics scattered at (455, 536)]

[Player … …]

[Player … …]

… …

Death announcements flashed wildly!

"I was really too naive…" The brave sniper took off his VR glasses and said with a strange expression, "When I was chasing Xu Meng, I wasn't electrocuted to death by the Vajra Thunder Rhino, and I thought I had survived a catastrophe and would definitely have good fortune."

"So it was waiting for me here?"

"It was destined that I would die at the hands of the rhino, right??"

The water friends comforted him one after another:

"It's okay, maybe you're the kind of person who is 100% going to be killed by a rhino, and you're still alive in reality because you haven't run into a rhino."

"Take it easy, it's not just you who died, your team was also wiped out."

"Yes, yes, after the behemoths decide the winner, others will still have to fight to the death to grab the drops, you can easily watch the excitement…"

… …

The water friends' words made the brave sniper angry.

But the words were not false at all.

Many people realized:

Under normal circumstances, players are completely helpless against behemoths hundreds of meters long.

"Hunting Behemoths" is an almost impossible achievement to complete.

But now, after the two behemoths fight each other, the situation is different!

Today, one of the behemoths will most likely die.

If you can deliver the final blow in the moment before the behemoth dies, wouldn't that also count as completing "Hunting Behemoths"?

This is the closest everyone has been to the 【Hunting Master】 title and the 200,000 bonus!

Not only that, after everyone understands the game mechanics, they also know that the rarer the materials, the more advanced the weapons and armor that can be made.

Then what kind of weapons can be made from the behemoth's drops?

Countless people endured the earthquake and the crazy shaking screen, approaching the center of the battle.

One player after another crawled out of the hidden crypts, like hibernating cicadas crawling out of the surface.

Then, they rushed to the battlefield!

Huan Yue didn't even have time to start the live broadcast, quickly logged into the game, and pushed open the stone above his head to drill out.

The moment he drilled out, 30 meters away directly in front of him, a huge tiger head also "grew" out of the soil.

One person and one tiger were stunned at the same time.
