Chapter 1141 Crocodile and Status
The players on the Nautilus are obviously hesitant. This whirlpool doesn't seem to be very rapid. Maybe it can be rushed over with one effort. However, if you don't do it well, there may be some danger. It is naturally much safer to go around from the side, but it will inevitably delay some speed.
Security is still ahead, which is a problem.
The vortex is getting closer and closer, and the Nautilus needs to make a choice immediately. And soon, the people behind knew what their choice was, and they chose to rush over!
I have to say that this choice is very risky, because no one knows what's in the whirlpool. Or a reef, or a monster. Of course, it may also be just a small wave of undercurrent. In any case, it takes a lot of courage to rush directly through the whirlpool. It can be imagined how persistent the players on the Nautilus are to the leading advantage.
Facing the whirlpool in front of him, the Nautilus rushed over regardless of his life! It can be seen that the players on the dragon boat have now done their best. Using mana to drive the dragon boat can naturally accelerate in an instant, but the consumption of mana will double. And if the players' rhythm is not consistent, it may be counterproductive. However, it can be seen that these people on the Nautilus are quite well prepared and may have been trained for a long time. The instantaneous acceleration made the Nautilus rush directly towards the whirlpool like a sharp arrow off the string!
Of course, it is not the center of the vortex. The center of the whirlpool has a lot of suction. If you rush over from there, I'm afraid that even if you can pass, you will waste much more time than bypassing it. The Nautilus chooses to rush over from the side to minimize the impact of the vortex!
The Nautilus rushed up, but the dragon boats behind hesitated. Do you want to keep up? Can your own dragon boat break through the whirlpool? Can your own people exert their power in an instant like the Nautilus?
In the end, several dragon boats still slightly adjusted their direction and prepared to bypass the whirlpool. After all, safety comes first. Anyway, Nautilus is already the first, and the biggest one is to keep it first. But if something goes wrong with you, it's not a question of whether you can surpass the Nautilus...
The Nautilus rushed to the whirlpool without hesitation, and the slender dragon boat's body was immediately affected by the whirlpool and began to shake. Look at that, one is not well controlled, and it is likely to be swept into the whirlpool. And if this slender dragon boat is swept in by the whirlpool, the greatest possibility is to plunge into it... At that time, let alone rush over, it is a question whether it can continue the competition.
But the players who control the Nautilus are obviously very experienced and the operation is also very sharp. In the constant swing, the direction of the Nautilus remains roughly unchanged and wipes it from the edge of the whirlpool. Although they have been affected by the whirlpool and the speed has slowed down, their leading momentum has not changed!
The Nautilus successfully passed through the whirlpool! Although it is far from the center of the whirlpool, it can be regarded as passing through the whirlpool. The occurrence of this incident proves that although the whirlpool is an obstacle to the player, it does not necessarily have to sacrifice speed to bypass it!
The dragon boats behind saw the Nautilus and seemed to have passed through the whirlpool without much effort, and they seemed to regret their detour. In their mind, the reason why the Nautilus is faster than their own dragon boat is just because the Nautilus's boat type is better. If you are yourself, you can also dress up! In that case, it won't be left behind too much!
Now because they are all detouring, and the Nautilus is going straight, the distance between the two sides has opened again. Looking at the figure of the Nautilus getting farther and farther away, the players on the dragon boats behind were very anxious.
And Lin Musen and others also walked around honestly. In fact, when they reached the front of the whirlpool, the Nautilus had already passed through the whirlpool. They can learn the Nautilus and pass through the middle of the whirlpool. However, Lin Musen stopped the others and did not let them go directly through the whirlpool.
"We should keep a low profile and pretend to be pigs and eat tigers! You can't come to your head so early, otherwise you will become someone else's target. And now, the most obvious goal is to let the Nautilus do it!" When Lin Musen said this, there was a chilling smile on his face...
In a word, this whirlpool is over. At least the first five dragon boats passed through the whirlpool in their own way. And there is no big change in the ranking of these five dragon boats... It's just that the leading trend of Nautilus is a little bigger. As for how the dragon boat behind came over... Who cares about him?
Soon after, there was the shouting and scolding of the players whose dragon boat was swept into the whirlpool...
Of course, the players behind have no impact on the players in front, unless they are about to catch up with the front. However, according to the current situation, the previous seven or eight dragon boats can't be caught by the players behind. Unless there is an accident... It's normal to have an accident in this game.
Now the dragon boat in front is still moving forward desperately. The leader wants to widen the gap, and the latter wants to catch up. However, both are quite difficult. After all, the performance of the dragon boat is similar. Instead of hoping that your team members will break out, it is more realistic to expect the other party to make mistakes.
And Lin Musen and others now occupy the fifth place and look very calm. The top five can participate in the finals. To win the first place is just to get more rewards such as money. At this time, if you expose your strength, it is easy to be targeted, and the gains outweigh the losses. However, they will not underestimate others. If they are squeezed out of the top five in the end, they will not be able to cry.
The best case is that the previous dragon boats have unexpectedly withdrawn from the race or were overtaked by the people behind... Although this possibility is very small, it is not at all. After all, the game has just begun... Obstacles have only encountered a whirlpool, and there are many other obstacles that have not appeared. What's more, there are those floating states that have not appeared on the water, and the results of the game are still confusing!
As a result, it didn't take long for the second obstacle to appear again.
On the surface of the Yangtze River, something like a comfortable tree appeared. These pieces of wood are across the water, and each of them is as thick as a dragon boat. The wood is very rough, and the mottled bark seems to prove that the wood is a tree that fell from both sides. However, strangely, the water flow of the Yangtze River is quite rapid, but these pieces of wood are across the water and will hardly move with the flow!
This strange scene naturally attracted the attention of the dragon boat pilots in front of them. It is strange that the horizontal wood appears in the Yangtze River. Before it is washed away by the water, it is naturally even more strange. If the water flow is slow, it can be said to be blocked by the reef below and even the water grass. But now the current is so rapid, why do they move? Even if something is wrapped around the wood, they should not be placed horizontally! Is it possible to tie the ropes down and fix them firmly?
Of course, there is another explanation for this situation...
"Crocodile!" On the boat in front, someone was already shouting.
Yes, there is another possibility, that is, these things are not wood at all! Across the river is something else!
The most similar to wood is naturally a crocodile. Although Lin Musen has heard that crocodiles only seem to like to live in gentle rivers, this is a fairy chivalrous game! There are even hippos in the Yangtze River. What's so strange about crocodiles? What's more, the Yangtze crocodile is still a specialty of the Yangtze River!
Of course, these crocodiles are naturally not rare animals like Yangzi crocodiles, but fierce monsters!
The Nautilus in the front is quite close to those suspected wooden things, and the crocodiles, of course, can't help moving. A crocodile suddenly grew its mouth. As soon as it turned around, it rushed towards the Nautilus!
The crocodile is fierce, and the identification also shows that this thing is an elite little boss. If it is normal, any player on the dragon boat will not take an elite little boss seriously. However, in the process of dragon boat racing, all players can't use any skill spells!
Being bitten by the big mouth of this thing will definitely greatly reduce the durability of the dragon boat! Not to mention that the speed and flexibility are affected, it is not impossible for the dragon boat to leak and sink directly after being bitten!
It's okay, maybe it's because of the rapid current, or maybe it's because the crocodiles are too big. In short, the speed of these crocodiles is not very agile. The crocodile rushed directly towards the Nautilus, but it seemed that it would take a while to come into contact with the Nautilus!
It's enough time for the Nautilus to change direction to avoid the crocodile.
That's what I said, but now the crocodiles across the river are not one or two, but dozens of crocodiles! These crocodiles are unevenly arranged on the river, and no dragon boat can pass directly through them without being affected by the crocodiles!
"It's too cruel! Even if there are obstacles, it is normal for these crocodiles to want the dragon boat to be destroyed!" Seeing this scene, the wind and airs took a breath of cold air. Other people's performance is almost the same. Players who can't fight can't avoid panic in the face of so many high-intensity monsters... They know the strength of these little bosses and can't destroy each other. How can they pass through so many crocodiles?
Lin Musen is relatively calm. Speaking of which, his way of dealing with the boss is a little different from that of other players. He is not mainly attacking head-on, but mostly fighting. How to avoid the entanglement of those monsters, he can be said to be the most knowledgeable. Although now he is not controlling the Qingyun Iron-winged Peng, but the Dragon Boat Amber Stone, there are some things in common. It is not too difficult for him to get through the obstacles of these crocodiles.
But he doesn't know if there will be any change in it. Therefore, the dragon boats in front are the best experimental subjects!
The Nautilus was also a little flustered in the face of the sudden attack of the crocodile. But soon, they found that the crocodile's movement was quite slow. This gives them enough time to adjust their direction and avoid the crocodile's attack. Unfortunately, although the crocodile moves slowly, its thinking does not slow down. Seeing the direction of the Nautilus, the direction of the crocodile's progress has also changed!
After all, the Nautilus is a dragon boat. It's not that the player steps on the flying sword, who changes direction, and turns when he turns. The role of water flow is considerable, otherwise it would not have trapped countless people in a whirlpool. Although the Nautilus has changed its direction urgently, it is still under the threat of crocodiles. If you are careless, you are likely to be bitten by a crocodile!
Such a big crocodile, even if the dragon boat is not bad, I guess it will leak, right? The material of the Nautilus dragon boat is obviously also wood, but it can't stand the bite of those crocodiles! The bite force of the crocodile is among the best in the animal kingdom...
The Nautilus can only keep changing direction, trying to make the crocodile unable to catch up with their pace of changing direction. In fact, it's true. After the crocodile turned back and forth twice, it was getting farther and farther away from the Nautilus. However, the crocodile was as good as the stream. Since it couldn't catch up with the Nautilus, it targeted the dragon boats behind it...
"Are these crocodiles so smart? This is really a headache." Lin Musen was a little stunned to see the crocodile's performance. If all the crocodiles are so smart, it's not easy to cross so many crocodiles' lines of defense...
"It doesn't make sense. This game has just begun, and the difficulty is so high. Do you want the player to pass the game? In my opinion, it's good for one-third of the players to pass these crocodiles!" Liu Xu Piao is also a little confused. According to this density, the player's dragon boat will inevitably enter the crocodile's attack range. And how many dragon boats can withstand the attacks of crocodiles or avoid those crocodiles?
"I'm afraid it won't be that simple. There should be something else..." Lin Musen meditated while looking at the Nautilus avoiding the crocodile.
Suddenly, the crocodiles across the water suddenly moved at the same time. Of course, the actions of these crocodiles are quite slow, and they are nothing more than messing up the water surface. For the time being, the players' dragon boats have not received any threat.
However, this is not the point. The point is that when the crocodiles moved away and left their positions, spots of various colors appeared where they stayed!
Those spots have different colors and shapes. The spot just floats on the water, slowly fluctuating with the fluctuation of the water, but it has not moved anywhere else at all.
"Are those... all kinds of states?" Lin Musen's eyes narrowed. As mentioned in the event announcement, in the process of dragon boat racing, there will be various increases and decreases on the water surface. These states can help players pass through some difficult places, and can also expand their advantages and reduce the distance from other players. Of course, there are also some negative states, but after you win, it may not be a bad thing. It all depends on how the players react and choose.
Those spots on the surface of the water have no names, but from the image, there are still some problems. There is a blue arrow pointing straight ahead, which is mostly accelerated; there is also a red weight, which looks extremely stable, mostly to increase the weight of the dragon boat. Others have a circle, a ball, and even a spot that looks like a fish...
The specific effect of these spots is not known for the time being, but now it seems that there are more blue and more red. In terms of shape, blue is mostly a gain effect, acceleration, increasing flexibility, strengthening defense... But these also depends on how to use them, and it is not safe to use. For example, the acceleration effect, if the front is flat, it is naturally very powerful. But like now, there are crocodiles in front of you, and you rush into the crocodile pile...
All states have their own uses, not simply beneficial and harmful. How to use it depends on the player.
But it's probably because these states appear for the first time. Most of them are beneficial and mostly to increase flexibility. The flexibility has improved. The speed of those crocodiles is slow, so they naturally have nothing to do with the player's dragon boat. As long as the operation is not too crippled, you can easily avoid the crocodile's attack... Of course, if you can't avoid it, there's nothing you can do, little friend, you'd better eat zongzi honestly...
The Nautilus in front of it is the closest to the crocodile, and it was the first to see those states. Obviously, the man who controlled the dragon boat on the Nautilus was also a smart man and immediately understood what these were. So the Nautilus immediately turned again and rushed directly to a circle-shaped blue spot. After the dragon boat touched the spot, the whole dragon boat was suddenly shrouded in blue light, and a circle rotated back and forth on the dragon boat!
Then, the flexibility of the Nautilus immediately went up another level!
Because the Nautilus is the closest to those crocodiles, most of the crocodiles are now targeting the Nautilus. However, after getting the state of increased flexibility, the Nautilus only moved a little more at the beginning, with a little danger. Soon, the manipulator got used to the current flexibility, and then easily shuttled between the crocodiles!
Those crocodiles can't even get close to the Nautilus, let alone catch up and take a bite. The Nautilus rushed over the crocodile's territory without taking too much time, and then rushed straight ahead!
"The player on the dragon boat... his IQ is not low!" Lin Musen touched his chin and looked at the distant Nautilus. Being able to react at such a fast speed and making the best choice, the fastest way to pass the crocodile's territory, so that its advantage is strengthened again. However, in fact, it has also created a lot of opportunities for the dragon boats behind!
The crocodiles behindgathered in the middle of the waterway because of chasing the Nautilus. Other dragon boats, as long as they bypass the obstruction of the first few crocodiles, can easily pass from both sides! And on the current water surface, there is still a state of acceleration!
After eating the acceleration, move forward in a straight line, which can completely make up for the gap with Nautilus! ( To be continued.)
