VCRMM: Chapter 249

The stealth equipment that Chamo gave to Grumpy Little Rabbit now hung around Qing Yan’s neck.

Before entering the water, she turned on the stealth.

The nine teammates surrounded her and gathered together. Under the careful control of the wind elementalist, they dived silently into the water.

Once in the sea, the underwater breathing potion came into play.

All of them adjusted their sense of realism to around 10%. This way, they could avoid being affected by negative senses while also preventing them from making wrong judgments due to their lack of senses.

There was no feeling of suffocation, only the countdown on the status bar reminded them of the time.

However, everyone had 100 bottles of underwater breathing potions, each of which could last 30 minutes. This meant they could stay on the seabed for two days.

Of course, they wouldn’t panic even if this batch of potions ran out.

During the more than 20 days of flying over the sea, the pharmacists on land didn’t rest and were still working overtime to prepare the underwater breathing potions.

This batch of newly produced potions had already been put online in the faction warehouse.

Ordinary players needed a high reputation to redeem it, but the ten person team on a mission could get it for free. It was just that each person could only get up to 48 bottles per day.

In fact, Xu Sili hadn’t expected this team to be so powerful that they would fly directly over the sea to the sky above the land of the sea elves. Not a single bottle of potion was used in these 20 days.

But this was a pleasant surprise.

Now players from Glass Sea City had gradually exchanged the underwater breathing potions, accepted the coastline cleanup missions he issued, and started to kill monsters along the coast.

He didn’t follow but it didn’t mean Xu Sili wasn’t paying attention to them.

When Lin Mu and the others didn’t notice, ten nano flight monitors the size of grains of sand had followed them all the way and transmitted the captured information back to the Roland Palace.

As they dived into the water, the ten monitors flew into their clothes, clinging tightly and continuing to transmit footage.

Xu Sili looked at the surveillance screen with a serious expression.

The dark blue and turbid seawater was filled with densely packed sea beasts. Their numbers were so large that it was comparable to a beast wave.

They roamed in the sea, occasionally colliding with each other and attacking the surrounding sea beasts, triggering a fight.

Based on the existing number of players, it would be difficult to clean up the sea in such a short period of time.

Fortunately, a new batch of players had entered the Starry Sky Age. Several new factories producing game cabins and game helmets had been added. Production would gradually increase.

It was only a matter of time before the number of players increased.

In the camera, Qing Yan and the others swam carefully and slowly in the water.

Once they were able to breathe underwater, the threat posed by seawater was reduced by half. The resistance posed by the seawater to them was also eliminated by the wind elementalist’s light body technique.

Their only difficulty was how to avoid the large and dangerous sea beasts to reach the location of the sea elves.

[The sea beasts are too strong! It is still unfathomable even when you are level 35…]

[Isn’t the most terrifying thing… that there are tens of thousands of such sea beasts? No, I think there are millions!]

[Wow, this underwater world is so exciting. When can I go down there to take a stroll?]

[God Lin and the others don’t talk. It is too boring.]

It wasn’t that Lin Mu and the others didn’t want to speak. It was just that the underwater breathing potion only allowed them to breathe underwater, not speak underwater.

Due to the existence of the cloaking device, they were very successful at the beginning. Then soon, Lin Mu and his team encountered new troubles

As they continued to dive, the light in the sea became darker and darker. Soon, it reached the point where they could no longer see.

The impact of their vision finally dealt them a heavy blow—

They encountered a sea beast.

The sea beast was at least as big as a whale. Even if they resisted stubbornly, they couldn’t escape the fate of being knocked away.

In the end, they rushed out all the way and collided with many sea beasts.

Except for Lin Mu, no one in the ten person team was spared and they were all killed instantly.

Fortunately, before going into the water, they exchanged ropes in the system mall and tied each other’s bodies together tightly. Even if they were killed in one blow, their bodies wouldn’t be washed away.

Due to the cloaking device activated by Qing Yan, their bodies remained hidden and they avoided being eaten by sea beasts. In this way, they could be resurrected in place after 30 minutes.

Lin Mu had a lot of health and high defense. Even so, he only had a small layer of health left after being hit like this.

He took blood medicine to restore his life and tried hard to stop being washed away by the water.

By the time he finally stabilized, he felt like he was half dead.

[God Lin is awesome!]

[He is still alive after all of this? Teacher Lin Mu is indeed the strongest person in Starry Sky!]

[Hahaha, am I the only one who thinks this strategy is very creative? Nine people tied together by the waist. Doesn’t this scene look a bit like a horror movie?]

It wasn’t Lin Mu who turned on the live broadcast so he didn’t see the barrage.

At this moment, a beeping sound came from the external communication system.

Lin Mu opened it and took a look.

The game cabin of Starry Sky Age could load external communication software, which was a newly added feature. Even in the game, they could chat with friends in real life.

The nine team members killed instantly were now chatting in a small group using external software.

Wang Yang: [Brother Lin is awesome. He is still alive!]

Aoki: [Brother Lin, please check our current location. Also, can we see the location of Grumpy Little Rabbit?]

Lin Mu: [Okay.]

After replying to the message, Lin Mu turned on the communicator and looked at the boy’s location. Soon, his expression became strange.

Lin Mu: [We are at least five or six kilometers closer.]

Aoki: [?]

Wang Yang: [!!!]

Qing Yan: [I have a dangerous idea.]

Lin Mu: [What a coincidence. Me too.]

After discussing it, the ten of them reached a consensus again.

As they were still waiting for resurrection, Lin Mu continued to restore his health. He had to be in full health for the action just now to be successful.

Half an hour later, Qing Yan and the others were resurrected one after another.

They couldn’t help complaining the moment they were resurrected. Then they drank a bellyful of water and couldn’t speak at all.

They had no choice but to remain silent and communicate within the team channel using text.

In front of the surveillance screen, Xu Sili came back to watch again after they were resurrected.

There might be no light, but the nano monitors had the most advanced technology and could process the image to the visible range and broadcast it even on a dark night.

Therefore, in Xu Sili’s surveillance footage, the actions of the ten person team could still be seen. However, the image quality wasn’t clear and there was a lot of static.

However, Xu Sili was a bit confused about the actions of the players who were resurrected.

They didn’t continue to explore the seabed. Instead, they bought more ropes from the system mall and tied the ropes around each other to ensure they were secure.

They were just knocked away, so were they worried about being scattered the next time they were knocked away? Xu Sili thought this.

Up to this point, he could still understand it.

But—

After they tied the reinforced ropes, they didn’t continue to dive but swam upwards.

Was this preparation to give up?

Xu Sili shook his head. If they gave up, they could just commit suicide and return to the city, there was no need to take any other actions. Besides…

He felt that it was impossible for this team to give up like this. After all, they had persisted for over 20 days. How could they give up so easily?

So, had they come up with a strategy?

Xu Sili watched quietly and found… This group of players actually took the initiative to attack a sea beast. They attacked upwards and then…

They were knocked out again!

This time, no one was spared. They were all killed by the attack of the sea beasts.

After waiting 30 minutes for resurrection, they repeated their previous actions.

Each time was more brutal than the last. One time, Lin Mu didn’t die. Once he was blown away by the current, he didn’t pull his teammates to stop the trend but went with the flow.

It was also at this time that Xu Sili finally saw some clues.

These guys did a lot of weird things… He shook his head. After making sure that they wouldn’t be a problem, he ignored them for the time being.

The feeling of being blown away wasn’t pleasant. Even if their sense of realism was adjusted to the lowest level, the feeling of being tossed around in water could drive people crazy.

In the end, Lin Mu simply stopped recovering his health and tried to be killed instantly by the sea beast in the first blow.

However, he was at full health after resurrection. Thus, it was quite difficult for him to be killed instantly. He could only silently envy his teammates.

[I’m laughing to death. Being weak has its advantages.]

[God Lin is so miserable. He must be feeling really bad.]

[This seabed is too deep. They have been hit so many times. Why hasn’t the bottom been reached yet?]

The land of the sea elves.

Grumpy Little Rabbit was waiting anxiously. He was also watching the live broadcast. The current live broadcast experience was very bad and it was almost difficult to see clearly. He would get dizzy easily if he watched too much.

However, he still paid close attention and kept an eye on the environment around Lin Mu and the others.

He had been out there before and had some impression of the underwater environment.

Lin Mu and his companions should be very close to the territory of the sea elves…

“Little Rabbit, have the reinforcements you mentioned really come to sea?”

At this time, he heard Cessia ask.

The boy nodded and said, “They are almost here.”

Cessia laughed.

“Are you kidding? It has only been half a day since you came back. It takes more than that long to swim from the sea surface to here while it is safe. What’s more, there are so many sea beasts?”

Then she heard a loud bang. Something came down diagonally from above her head, hitting the ground and leaving a deep hole.
