Chapter 232: Someone got there first?
Chen Yingjie's arrangement confirmed Bai Yaoyao's previous guess, so she nodded decisively, "Okay, then you guys better be careful!"
After Xiao Xiaoxiao and Chen Yingjie looked at each other, they began to move cautiously towards the school of light fish.
The fish of light are timid by nature and will scatter in an instant at the slightest movement in the water.
There are also special tips in the mission description that you cannot use any weapons or external objects such as secret treasures when catching the fish. You can only stay in one place and wait for the fish to swim to your side. Then you can catch them with lightning speed and put them in the container specially provided for the mission.
This task is troublesome and time-consuming, and most importantly, the reward for the task is not high, only five points, so few people are willing to accept it.
However, this kind of task that does not require spiritual energy is very suitable for Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao.
Chen Yingjie had already observed the swimming patterns of the school of light fish and took Xiao Xiaoxiao to a small coral reef.
The two men held their breath and waited quietly for the school of fish to swim towards them. Just when the school of fish passed by them, they spotted two bare fish and grabbed them with their big hands.
The fish were frightened, and the originally soft light on their bodies suddenly became dazzling. Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao only felt that the water around them seemed to be electrified, and a tingling sensation instantly came over them.
Especially Chen Yingjie, he was a soldier after all, his moves were swift, and he was holding a struggling fish in his right hand.
And the feeling of numbness and pain becomes more intense.
Feeling a burning pain in the palm of his hand, Chen Yingjie quickly took out a large conch-shaped container from his waist and carefully placed the fish in it.
Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to him, bit her lower lip as she looked at her empty palms, her face full of regret.
Chen Yingjie saw her movements and quickly whispered to comfort her: "It's okay, these light fish react too quickly. I often receive reaction training in the army and I only caught one. What's more, you have never received training. Don't worry, try a few more times."
"Yeah!" Xiao Xiaoxiao responded in a low voice, and re-arranged his posture, ready to meet the next wave of fish.
……
An hour later, Chen Yingjie skillfully stuffed the two empty fish into the container and glanced at Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was dejected after catching nothing again.
"Xiaoxiao, time is limited. Let's split up. I'll catch all the fish, and you go collect the coral elves. How about that?"
Bai Yaoyao, who had been keeping watch on the surroundings, nodded. "I think the coral elves move very slowly. We just need to be careful not to crush them. Let's go and take a look together. I'll help you!"
"Hmm!" Xiao Xiaoxiao curled her lips, secretly blaming herself for being useless.
Forget about being introverted and shy.
Her mentor asked her to join the team because he wanted her to play the role of a doctor, and if she encountered any poison, she could help Yaoyao identify it in time.
But who knew they would be thrown to the bottom of the sea, and her skills would be useless!
And she has to catch fish with her bare hands! Reflexes are really not her strong point at all!
Although he was crazy, Xiao Xiaoxiao was able to obtain double doctorates in virology and medicine, which shows that he is naturally resilient.
Moreover, the task of collecting coral elves is neither difficult nor easy.
To put it simply, it is because the coral elves are crawling around in groups on the coral reefs.
There's no need for a quick reaction at all, basically you can just grab a handful.
But the difficulty lies in the fact that this beautiful little thing is too fragile.
Their bodies are no bigger than fleas, consisting of a transparent outer skin covering a bag of colorful liquid.
The outer skin is thin and fragile, and it will break if a little force is applied, and the coral elf will naturally die.
Moreover, they cannot be wrapped by spiritual energy. Once their skin comes into contact with spiritual energy, they will be oppressed and die.
The most important thing is that this four-star mission requires catching one hundred coral elves to get 100 points.
Due to various conditions, this task is daunting for many immortals.
However, to the surprise of Bai Yaoyao and Chen Yingjie, Xiao Xiaoxiao accomplished this task with ease.
Bai Yaoyao accidentally crushed a coral elf to death again, and her hands were covered with sticky liquid.
Watching Xiao Xiaoxiao easily putting one coral elf after another into a special task container, a large white bubble, she embarrassedly withdrew her evil claws.
"Xiaoxiao, your hands are so soft!"
It seems that except for the first two or three that were accidentally crushed to death, no more died afterwards!!
Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled, and his eyes narrowed into a line. There was no trace of frustration and annoyance as when he had just caught all the fish.
Her hands kept moving, but she was still able to raise her head with ease and comfort Bai Yaoyao, "Maybe my hands are steadier because I have done so many experiments before. Yaoyao, you can try a few more times."
Family members know their own business. Bai Yaoyao has never been a gentle person, and after eating the Elf King Fruit, her strength has increased a lot, and she is even more ruthless with her hands.
This mission of collecting coral elves is totally not suitable for her!
Bai Yaoyao smiled awkwardly, "I'd better go to the side and see where that giant whale has gone..."
This is the only high-star mission they have accepted, and also the one with the richest rewards.
This giant whale is one of the overlords of the mirage sea. It has a huge body and powerful strength. They can make deafening whale calls, which have a dizzying effect.
Such giant beasts rarely appear in the waters so close to the Crystal Palace.
But last night, a giant whale suddenly appeared near the Blue Sky Abyss and attacked the mermaids who were collecting coral elves there.
So this task is released urgently today, and you can get 1500 points after completing it.
This task naturally belonged to Bai Yaoyao.
A head-on kill was impossible, so their idea was to let Bai Yaoyao use her Tide-Rider buff to get close to the giant deep-sea whale and then put it directly into the system backpack.
Bai Yaoyao circled around the Biluo Liuliyuan but did not find the giant whale.
When he was about to return, he suddenly heard a voice like a child's scream. Bai Yaoyao paused and felt as if his head was gently pricked by countless small needles.
After the dizziness disappeared, Bai Yaoyao looked towards the direction where the voice came from with a look of joy on his face, muttering, "Finally I found you!"
Bai Yaoyao hurried back to the Biluo Liuliyuan and informed Chen Yingjie and Xiao Xiaoxiao about the discovery of the giant whale.
The two of them stopped what they were doing and came over at the same time, "Then let's go over and take a look. Let's get these 1500 points first!"
The three of them quickly rushed to the direction where the sound came from.
As they got closer, the sound of the whales became clearer, and at the same time, they could faintly hear human shouts.
The three of them looked at each other and saw vigilance and heaviness in each other's eyes.
Did someone get there first?
Besides them, who else took on this task?
