Chapter 120 Those who want war, play your cards quickly.
Upon seeing the Lone Moon Wheel, Zhou Nan did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, he pointed to a distant island and shouted, "Ceasefire! Go to the island!"
[Lonely Moon Wheel] nodded solemnly.
Previously, he had been secretly following the large item flatbed truck by relying on his [Deep Sea Hydra] diving skills.
Hydra's diving is actually just a skill demonstration; it doesn't mean it actually dives underwater. When [Lone Moon Wheel] dives with it, it doesn't feel like it's immersed in water; instead, it feels like it's flying in the sky.
But just now, he suddenly realized that something was different.
He can see the underwater terrain!
In general, entering underwater environments feels like entering a void, but some underwater environments are very realistic, offering players opportunities to explore and collect resources.
[Lone Moon Wheel] encountered this underwater space, and what made his scalp tingle was that there were countless octopus-men in this underwater space.
The octopus-men also attacked him, using a large number of cards.
Upon seeing those octopus-men, the word "aliens" immediately popped into [Lone Moon Wheel]'s mind. Seeing that they could use cards, he panicked and hurriedly controlled [Hydra] to rush out of the water.
Hearing Zhou Nan say "go to the island" calmed him down a little.
"Yes, let's get to the island. The water isn't our territory, let's get to the island quickly!"
"These octopus heads are players, just like us..."
The two, [Valkyrie Lin Yun] and [Fast Runner], were slightly panicked. They hadn't fully digested the information in the scroll, but Zhou Nan had already driven to the shore and gotten on land first.
At this moment, more octopus-men appeared, waving their tentacle arms, able to swim in the water, and quickly using cards, seemingly in pursuit.
Zhou Nan acted decisively, using his card throwing skill to throw out more than a dozen cards in a row, killing many octopus men. After each octopus man died, it would drop a scroll, which all flew automatically to Zhou Nan's side.
Zhou Nan had no time to examine the scrolls. He drove the flatbed truck to the foot of a cliff and, seeing that the octopus-man had not come ashore, took out the scrolls to look at them.
"The deep-sea world is also a parallel world. Before it emerged, it had the same world background and civilization trajectory as the human world..."
"Time cannot be interrupted; time is consistent in all parallel worlds..."
"Players from the deep-sea world don't have a friend chat system, but they have a unique mental communication system..."
"Due to differences in biological characteristics, lifestyles, emotional beliefs, and worldviews, players from human civilization and players from the deep-sea civilization are on opposing sides..."
"Being killed by a player from the opposing faction will result in double the death penalty (loss of experience points) and a chance to lose cards..."
"Killing players from the opposing faction counts kills and calculates racial honor points. These racial honor points can be used to draw skills at the Card Goddess Statue. The first draw requires 1000 honor points, the second requires 10000 honor points, the third requires 100000 honor points, and so on. In certain special situations, racial honor can play a huge role..."
"Killing high-level players from the opposing faction has a chance to grant skill points..."
"The octopus people believe they evolved from ancient octopuses, yet they are puzzled as to why so many octopuses remain octopuses and have failed to evolve..."
"The octopus-men have evolved to be amphibious, but they prefer living in the water..."
Zhou Nan could understand some of the information in those scrolls, and not others. In any case, he was certain that the octopus-man players were also players, and in the card world, they had similar game privileges to human players like himself.
"Since there are octopus-man players... could there also be rat-man players playing that giant rat that appeared in Crystal City...?"
Zhou Nan felt that the world of cards had become even more mysterious.
Meanwhile, the Sea God, who was entangled by the giant octopus, was in a very bad situation. He was essentially controlled, and a large number of octopus-men appeared, using cards to attack him. The Sea God's health bar was also revealed and slowly decreased.
"Captain, what should we do? Should we help the Sea God?"
[Warrior Goddess Lin Yun] asked Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan's expression was serious. He said, "We're too busy taking care of ourselves. The octopus-men are about to land on the beach—no, they've already landed, and this island is probably already occupied by them!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the sea and saw countless octopus heads emerging from the water, resembling a large number of watermelons floating on the surface. Their eyes were all fixed on the people on the shore, their sockets glowing with an eerie green light.
Looking around, there were also octopus-men on the island, in large groups, slowly surrounding them.
[Lone Moon Wheel] no longer intended to cause trouble for Zhou Nan. He stared at the octopus-men and said, "I have a chill down my spine. These octopus-men are terrifying. If we get caught, will we be taken away for dissection?"
"What's there to be a coward about? Wouldn't it be better to arrest them and dissect them?"
"Valkyrie Lin Yun" shouted, holding the Hunter's Blade, eager to try and kill the octopus man.
Zhou Nan hurriedly said, "Don't be impulsive. We don't know their strength yet, and we are outnumbered. I suggest... we return to the city!"
[When two birds meet on a narrow path, one must run fast] said, "We finally made it here, it would be such a waste to go back to town! How about we fight? We're all players, who's afraid of who!"
Zhou Nan pondered for two seconds and said, "If you're not afraid of death, I'll gladly oblige!"
At this moment, the Red Card family's steam airship arrived. The players inside, unaware of the Octopus Man, watched with great curiosity as the Sea God battled the giant octopus.
Suddenly, with a whoosh, eight more enormous tentacles burst forth from beneath the sea, leaping hundreds of meters above the surface and entangling the steam-powered airship. Then, a second giant octopus appeared, spewing seawater at the airship in an attempt to drag it back into the sea.
With a loud bang, the steam airship exploded, and the players inside were ejected from the airship like exploding fireworks. Most of them fell onto the sea surface and were then submerged or dragged underwater by the dense swarm of octopus-men.
This situation resembles a disaster.
Only a small number of players, either lucky or possessing flying mounts, escaped being overwhelmed by the octopus-men and rushed towards the shore in alarm.
Of course, many octopus-men also saw them as prey and chased after them, bang bang bang bang, using all sorts of cards.
Zhou Nan flicked his wrist, unleashing the Great Demon Overlord using a card-throwing technique, and then shouted to [Lone Moon Wheel], "Help your family members come and assemble!"
"Huh? Oh, okay!"
[Lone Moon Wheel] responded and immediately released his [Deep Sea Hydra], causing its nine heads to spew jets of water to attack the octopus man. At the same time, he waved his arms and shouted to the surviving red card family players, "Come here, everyone, gather here!"
The players panicked and, upon hearing [Lone Moon Wheel]'s call, instinctively rushed over. At this moment, no one cared about the Donkey Cart Hero anymore; their thoughts were either to escape or to the Octopus Man.
"What's going on?!"
"What happened to us? It completely stunned me!"
"What the hell are those octopuses?!"
"Our steam airship has sunk..."
The players gasped in surprise, and after a final count, only twenty-three had managed to escape safely.
To be precise, they were not out of danger at all, because they were surrounded by octopus-men in front of them and on both sides.
Zhou Nan shouted, "Those who want to go back to the city, hurry up and go back! Those who don't, let's fight the octopus man together! Han Buxin, deactivate your transformation! What's the use of turning into a jackal now? With me here, I'm invincible! Stop looking around! If you want to go back to the city, hurry up and go back..."
"Who wants to go back to town? Hey, Donkey Cart Hero? How did you know my nickname? I hid my attributes!"
"Tell me, did you create these octopuses?!"
"They've killed so many of our brothers! Brothers, let's take them down!"
"Screw you, can't you see the octopus-men around us?"
"The octopus-men have invaded! Fight the octopus-men first..."
Without further ado, Zhou Nan tossed the scroll of information he had previously displayed to the players and shouted, "Those who want to fight, play your cards now!"
