"I'm sure everyone has seen the hunting ladder on the island map," Qin Ziwen said, looking at the core hunting team members inside the room.

Wang Jun said, "I saw it. I didn't expect there to be a level 4 hunting mission this time, and it's worth a thousand points. Basically, whoever can complete the level 4 mission can be guaranteed to die."

Yuan Dajun said in a deep voice, "No, it only means that the outcome can be decided by the points competition, but there is another solution besides the points competition."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood what Yuan Dajun meant.

You can't solve the mission, but you can solve the opponent.

Qin Ziwu's eyes darkened upon hearing this. "I don't think it's necessary to wait for the other side to make a move before retaliating. We can act in advance. In the end, there can only be one winner."

Upon hearing this, many people present nodded in agreement.

Zhang Liang, Jin Hao, and others, who had just joined the core hunting team and were attending this kind of meeting for the first time, sat on the sidelines, quietly acting as the atmosphere-maker.

Qin Ziwen said, "Let's not consider the level four missions for now. These two level three hunting targets are worth 50 points and 80 points respectively. Completing either of them will give us a significant lead in points."

However, the difficulty and the points go hand in hand. Last time, the Giant Rock Dragon only gave 20 points, while this time, the two level 3 hunting targets, the Deep Sea Devil Squid which gave even fewer points, each gave 50 points, indicating that the hunting difficulty is definitely greater than that of the Giant Rock Dragon.

After a pause, Qin Ziwen continued, "Furthermore, based on the existing clues, the Giant Rock Dragon we hunted last time was probably not in its complete state. The one you encountered later in the Blood Sand Arena was the complete Giant Rock Dragon."

Of course, this could also be the reason why the Giant Rock Dragon only scored 20 points. We can hunt the Giant Rock Dragon, and everyone is improving; we could certainly hunt the Devil Squid and the Thousand-Eyed Serpent, but they both live in the sea, and the attack methods we used against the Giant Rock Dragon last time might not be very effective against them. We need to develop new tactics.”

Wang Jun said, "President, judging from the targets of this Hunting Ladder mission, most of them are animals that live in the sea. Whether it is ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, or megalodons and Basilosaurus, as far as I know, they are all ancient marine giants that once existed on Earth."

Yuan Ming asked curiously, "Dr. Wang, is it possible that the Megalodon's score is higher than that of the Mosasaurus? I saw in Jurassic World that the Mosasaurus dragged the Indominus Rex into the water with one bite."

Wang Jun chuckled, “That’s a giant ‘Mosasaurus’ that’s been enlarged by the art of film. In reality, the average length of a Mosasaurus is only 15 meters and its weight is about 15 tons. In reality, the Megalodon has the strongest bite force of all creatures in history, and its average weight is between 70 and 80 tons. The two are not even in the same league in terms of weight.”

At this point, Wang Jun paused, thinking of the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the previous map that far exceeded his understanding, and quickly added, "Of course, maybe this time we really will be dealing with a 'Tesla'. After all, the animals here are generally larger."

Cao Biansheng suddenly said, "If the Megalodon were to grow a bit bigger, how big would it get? Wouldn't it just smash the bottom of our ship in one go?"

Qin Ziwu thought about it and felt that these secondary mission objectives were not so easy to achieve.

When dealing with those land behemoths before, they were able to make various uses of the terrain to create a geographical advantage.

But debts must always be repaid.

Now, facing these ocean behemoths, the situation has completely reversed for them, the land creatures. Now, in this vast ocean, it is these ocean behemoths who have the advantage of terrain.

They are actually at a disadvantage, unless they can lure the sea monsters to land, but that seems unlikely.

They are beasts, but not fools.

Qin Ziwen said, "We can start by completing the level one missions. Some of the level one missions involve targets living in the near sea or on islands. Let's practice our skills first, and once we have a large ship, we can try going out to sea."

Deng Guang said, "Chairman, we just looked around the area. There are reefs outside the community. We don't know if it's high tide or low tide. If it's low tide, we might not even be able to see the reefs when the tide comes in."

Qin Ziwen joked, "You didn't see the sea and want to check on the fishing, did you?"

Deng Guang coughed twice, "My hands are itchy, my hands are itchy. I just want to swing my rod whenever I see water."

Wang Jun chimed in, "Haha, don't laugh at me, but let alone Lao Deng, when I see this sea, I also want to cast a few lines. Who knows what I'll catch?"

Upon hearing the mention of fishing, Qin Ziwen's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately stood up, saying, "Let's go take a look first."

He left his home and led a group of people to the nearest south gate of the residential area.

There are quite a few residents living here.

Passing through the noisy crowd, exiting through the south gate, beyond the courtyard wall lies a stretch of sloping reefs.

Looking around, it's easy to see that their community is situated on top of a huge reef.

Extending along the reef to both sides, below lies the sea.

As the tide rises and falls, the surging seawater crashes against the crevices of the rocks, squeezing out pale white foam.

As your gaze slowly moves along the line where the reef meets the sea, you can vaguely see large areas of hidden reefs beneath the seawater.

At this moment, some residents were searching near the reef.

Every now and then someone would exclaim in surprise, "Wow, there are so many crabs here!"

"Watch out, there seems to be an eel in this puddle."

Qin Ziwen went down to investigate and confirmed that the marine life resources of this island reef were exceptionally rich.

No wonder, only with such abundant aquatic resources can so many marine giants be sustained.
