Chapter 256 Your mission objective is under attack
At sea, a long, slender head breaks through the surface of the water.

It raised its head and let out a piercing howl.

Even from this distance, the sharp sound could be faintly heard, its high-pitched cry still audible.

"Plesiosaur!"

Someone recognized it and couldn't help but shout excitedly.

Zou Jianghe stood on the rooftop, his face grim. He suspected that the plesiosaur was the one that killed He Biao and the others.

Qin Ziwen rode a horned eagle and flew into the sky.

Approaching the direction of the plesiosaur, it's rare to spot such a giant sea creature. Let's go take a look and observe it before making any decisions.

The closer they flew, the more Qin Ziwen felt something was wrong.

I couldn't see clearly from a distance just now, but from a high vantage point, and from a closer distance...

He discovered that there seemed to be more than one giant sea monster here!
Besides the plesiosaur, there was another enormous, dark-colored beast.

Its massive form is mostly hidden beneath the murky, deep blue sea.

To glimpse only a corner of it.

It can be seen that the other giant beast appears to be even larger than the plesiosaur.

Only then did he realize that the two giant sea monsters were fighting each other!

Judging from their size, one of them with a long neck should be a plesiosaur.

The other one was much more robust.

It looks a bit like Godzilla, with its body covered in thick, mottled black scales.

It was much larger and more robust than a plesiosaur, with a body length exceeding thirty meters, resembling a living mountain.

"Bang!!!"

The sea surface suddenly burst open.

A broad, majestic head, resembling a reef, burst from the water, its massive jaws, filled with menacing, sharp teeth, biting into the plesiosaur's thick, long neck.

The terrifying bite force erupted instantly.

The muffled sound of the giant mouth closing exploded.

Blood splattered as the plesiosaur's neck suddenly bent.

The giant beast leaped out, carrying the plesiosaur by the neck, and crashed into the sea with its prey, creating a wave tens of meters high.

The heavy ripples lingered for a long time.

Qin Ziwen recognized the behemoth as the Mosasaurus, one of the level-two mission objectives!
At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind.

Your mission objective is attacking other mission objectives!

Holy crap, there might only be one plesiosaur in this area!
If it's gone, wouldn't that mean we've lost a task altogether?

On the sea surface, the Mosasaurus's thick scales occasionally broke the surface, its massive body tearing at the plesiosaur's corpse, rolling in death.

The water churned violently and could not calm down for a long time, and a large patch of scarlet red dyed the sea red.

He had heard Wang Jun say that among the ancient marine giants of Earth, the mosasaur was special.

Because the ancestors of mosasaurus were small terrestrial lizards.

It is one of the most successful cases of vertebrates "going back to sea".

Although the limbs have degenerated into flippers, a certain degree of keratinous scales are still retained on the back.

When it opened its mouth just now, its upper and lower jaws opened wide, which is different from many fish and more like a crocodile!
The mouth of the mosasaur seems to have been specifically designed for hunting giant prey.

"What a pity," Qin Ziwen said with some regret.

There isn't a suitable weapon yet; this mosasaur is too big.

It far exceeded the Tyrannosaurus Rex seen on the previous map.

It should temporarily rank first on the current dinosaur ranking list.

Even a giant rock dragon might not be safe if it falls into the water or is on the shore, facing a mosasaur.

When the size becomes large enough.

Even if you're extraordinary, it might not be useful.

The extraordinary only breaks the limits of one's own race. If the original upper limit of a race is already very high, then breaking through to the extraordinary will only make it more terrifying.

Qin Ziwen thought of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. If the Tyrannosaurus Rex could break through to the extraordinary level after reaching adulthood, it might become a true killing machine.

"Let's go back first." Qin Ziwen gestured for the horned eagle to return.

Currently, they have no feasible solutions for this mosasaur. Although their homestead has a completed twelve-meter wooden boat, it is no match for the mosasaur.

A single leap could capsize the ship.

After witnessing the size of the mosasaur, Qin Ziwen suddenly felt that even a 20-meter-long iron boat might not be safe.

If ghost gold could be mixed into the outer iron sheet, the defense could be raised two levels, perhaps then there would be enough power to protect oneself.

However, the Mosasaurus had just finished hunting and was currently feeding on a Plesiosaur, so it could take the opportunity to go down into the sea and explore the surrounding ocean floor.

Back home, Qin Ziwen summoned the core hunting team.

"Who among you can't swim?"

No one raised their hands.

After learning that the map showed an island, even people who couldn't swim started taking extra lessons in private.

Nobody wants to fall behind others.

Qin Ziwen solemnly emphasized: "I want to reiterate that this is going into the sea. If you are not a good swimmer, it will be very dangerous. In critical moments, you can only rely on yourself."

Yuan Dajun smiled and said, "Chairman, we were prepared when we came."

The others nodded silently as well.

"Alright, now that you're all ready, let's get moving and collect our equipment."

He took out sixty Deep Sea Oxygen capsules, three for each person.

Then came the underwater weapons harpoons provided by the Ordnance Bureau, and twenty sets of sandworm armor.

After testing, it was found that this sandworm beetle is not only waterproof but also very lightweight, making it suitable for use in water.

There were also three single-handed crossbows and sixty cone-shaped arrows.

The group arrived at the seaside and swallowed two capsules of deep-sea oxygen.

He kept one hidden in his bosom.

In the last three minutes before the Deep Sea Oxygen ends, everyone will receive a notification, which can be considered a way to obtain a timer while underwater.

Take the last pill only when the effect of the second pill is about to end.

An hour should be enough to guarantee a return to the surface.

“Our goal is to first conduct a survey of the surrounding seabed, and so far, we haven’t found the altar. I suspect that the location of the altar on this map might be on the seabed.” Qin Ziwen hadn’t forgotten that one of the images was on the seabed.

"Bang~"

"Oh!"

One by one, everyone jumped into the sea.

The seawater enveloped us instantly, cold and salty, carrying a heavy pressure.

Almost everyone instinctively closed their eyes and held their breath the moment they entered the water.

However, the expected feeling of suffocation did not materialize.

The group tentatively and cautiously opened their eyes.

They stretched out their hands and curiously swam underwater.

Some people were sinking deeper and deeper into the sea, frantically swimming and wriggling awkwardly in the water.

Qin Ziwen gripped the harpoon and walked towards the bottom.

The island is surrounded by a slope that slopes downwards.

From a certain perspective, the island and reef actually resemble a mountain growing in the sea.

However, most of the mountain is submerged by seawater, with only the summit rising above the water.

As far as the eye can see, there are vast coral reefs and submerged reefs all around.

Fish can be seen swimming among them from time to time.

Underwater, some crabs are brandishing their pincers, baring their teeth and claws.

Several octopuses skimmed along the sand, moving stealthily.

These were all novel sights they had never seen before. Many of them had never even been diving before, and everything around them was full of wonder.

The group walked down the seabed.

But soon, they discovered a problem.

As they went deeper and deeper, the surrounding light became increasingly dim.
