The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 246: Dog Paddle (Third Update)

After a period of careful consideration, he finally decided to dispatch a few high-tier players to search the island.

He didn't plan to involve Wangzai Little Buns in this search.

Because Wangzai Little Buns was already at the top tier, Magic Potions could boost players all the way to high-tier, but once players reached high-tier, they could no longer rely on Magic Potions for enhancement.

They could only continue to hone their Battle Energy or kill ordinary Knights to absorb their Knight Origin to enhance themselves.

Mage Fang Ka wasn't at all concerned about losing a few high-tier players, especially since he had already set up a Magic Potion Planting Base on the Merfolk Islands, allowing for mass production of high-tier players in the future.

But if a top-tier player died, Mage Fang Ka would definitely be heartbroken.

Moreover, sending out a few high-tier players was also a strategy of deception.

Because anyone, upon seeing Undead Creatures, would immediately associate them with the Necromancers behind them.

And a few high-tier Undead Creatures would make the opponent think they were backed by a high-tier Necromancer.

Frankie had speculated this way before, and precisely because of this assumption, he hadn't worn his Epic Enchanted Armor.

If he had worn it, he wouldn't have been defeated so quickly and even captured alive; sometimes deceptive tactics are very necessary.

And even if the enemy discovered Wangzai Little Buns, who initially went to investigate, they would mistakenly believe that the leader was a top-tier Necromancer, and that this Necromancer had high-tier Necromancer underlings.

After the search, Mage Fang Ka gave those high-tier players mining on the Merfolk Islands the task of exploring the island.

Among them was Sea Flip.

To be honest, the Undead race 'Blood Slaughter' that Sea Flip evolved into was truly a very common species.

In short, his luck was very bad.

Mage Fang Ka thought that if necessary, he could let him die once and start over to see if he could evolve into a more rare race.

As for why not to include Lu Yun, it's because Lu Yun's command ability is rather good.

Besides, he is currently the Legion Commander of the Blood Slaughter Corps, so if something were to happen to him, it would have considerable repercussions, thus he was not considered.

The players assigned this time were mainly from the Blood Slaughter and Night Demon races, two extremely ordinary Undead races, currently the most numerous among the players. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

So even if all these players died, it wouldn't matter; they could even start over and might possibly evolve into more rare races.

Of course, these players didn't know what Mage Fang Ka was thinking.

Upon receiving the exploration mission, they were overjoyed and felt they had struck gold.

Then they bragged to the surrounding players before taking their mined ore to submit it to the Array of the Sound of the Cyan Wood.

After inquiring about the details from Mage Fang Ka, they handed their Silver Tokens to Sadek, converted them into account balances, and set off as a group.

This was a suggestion Mage Fang Ka made to them.

Because in case of danger, if they lost the Silver Tokens in hand, it would mean their money was gone.

So it was better to hand over the Silver Tokens to Sadek before setting off, converting them back to their account balance.

The account balance was the safest option in times of danger, ensuring the funds would never be lost.

And if they didn't encounter any danger, they could return to the island later, find Mage Fang Ka to convert their account balance back into Silver Tokens, and exchange Silver Tokens for Silver Coins at the bank whenever they wished.

For Wangzai Little Buns, with speed comparable to a Nightmare Beast, 50 nautical miles was nothing.

But for players without flying abilities, who could only swim, it was slightly arduous.

Nevertheless, even if they wasted a little time en route, it wouldn't matter to Mage Fang Ka.

Mage Fang Ka mainly wanted them to enter the island and ensure it wasn't occupied by anyone.

As long as this point was confirmed, the timing wasn't really important.

Sea Flip led these players from the Merfolk Islands and initiated their swimming race.

"Brothers, let's see who swims the fastest. How about we wager one Silver Coin? Whoever reaches the island mentioned by the Merfolk first, the others will each give that person 1 Silver Coin, what do you say?"

The other players were immediately intrigued by Sea Flip's suggestion.

One player pondered a bit and then said, "Isn't 1 Silver Coin too little? How about ten Silver Coins?"

Hearing this, Sea Flip couldn't help but glance at the player: "Brother, have you been playing gambling games too much?"

"Don't you know the saying? Small bets bring amusement, big bets harm your health and break your heart."

"So, let's make a small wager to give ourselves some motivation and cultivate our character at the same time."

"Betting big isn't fun at all, you know."

Hearing Sea Flip's words, the other players nodded in agreement.

Clearly, they didn't want to bet big either.

They all felt uncertain that they'd be the first to reach the mission destination.

And a wager of 10 Silver Coins was quite substantial for them.

Feeling embarrassed, the player laughed awkwardly and then agreed, "Alright, 1 Silver Coin then."

Sea Flip looked at him approvingly and continued, "As you can see, previously, you could directly find Mage Fang Ka in the Underground City for exploration missions."

"But ever since the discovery of the Merfolk Islands, things changed, and exploration missions could no longer be proactively accepted."

"Yet suddenly, this exploration task lands on us, clearly a culmination of a year's luck exploding all at once."

"Many people dream of such opportunities, so we must complete this mission well, come on, brothers!"

Sea Flip's pep talk had a remarkable effect.

Of course, that Silver Coin had even better impact.

Subsequently, the players mustered all their strength, heading west swiftly.

They tried various swimming strokes, as if turning into athletes in a sports competition.

Among all the swimming strokes, the dog paddle was the most popular.
