Monster collectors on the cross-platform

Considering that the dragon collectibles had not yet been polished, Huo simply decided not to exchange anything and instead exchanged them all for Zongwang coins. He planned to find someone to buy materials to enhance the dragon collectibles when he got back.

After making up his mind, Huo immediately closed the exchange interface, activated the waste utilization skill, and converted all the excess collections into experience points.

The number of artifacts obtained from this battlefield was not very large, especially the number of Mind Flayers, which was less than 2000. The remaining nearly 2 artifacts were all transformed from the corpses of other races.

After converting more than 2 corpses, Huo still only gained less than 3% of the experience. He would probably need to fight similar battles 2 or 3 more times to level up.

After everything was settled, Huo took one last look at the chat channel before preparing to leave the real battlefield.

But before leaving, Huo caught a glimpse of the wristwatch on his left wrist out of the corner of his eye.

Before I knew it, the hands on my watch had started spinning non-stop, showing no sign of stopping.

Is there a mine beneath our feet?

After glancing at the rocks beneath his feet, Huo immediately activated his earth-burrowing ability, sinking directly into the ground.

Not long after descending, a patch of golden ore appeared in Huo Huan's senses.

Is this gold?

Huo curiously picked up a piece of ore to examine it closely, only to discover that it was not a gold mine, but a chalcopyrite mine.

Huo Huan had little interest in the chalcopyrite and was just about to surface and leave when a piece of golden-green metal happened to enter his senses.

Unlike brass, which is produced in large quantities, the golden-green metal in front of us is called orchard copper, which is occasionally found as a by-product in brass veins.

Besides its hardness, orogenic copper is also known for its inherent magic resistance, which can weaken the power of magical attacks when used to make equipment.

Chapter 204 Ocean Battlefield

The fact that it has magic resistance alone shows how precious ores are.

Now that a new discovery had been made, Huo was in no hurry to go back.

With all the energy within his body unleashed, the earth began to churn and surge like a raging tide.

Under Huo Huan's control, the entire mine gradually began to rise like a submarine, and soon it was exposed directly on the ground.

The reserves of this chalcopyrite mine were not large. Huo quickly inspected it and then picked out all the orchard copper.

As for the remaining brass, Huo didn't need it, so he left it where it was, waiting for someone destined to find it.

As a by-product mineral, the reserves of copper in the mountains are not large, and Huo only collected about twenty kilograms.

Before he could keep much of the ores, Huo swallowed them all.

Having dealt with these copper mines, Huo had no further plans to search for new mines.

The Darklands are too vast; searching for mineral veins is not exactly like finding a needle in a haystack, but it is still quite time-consuming.

Moreover, even if a new ore vein is found, Huo Huan may not be able to use it. At this point, ordinary ores have little to no effect on Huo Huan's improvement, and rare ores are not easy to come by.

Rare ores are mostly by-products of other mineral veins, and whether you find them or not depends entirely on luck. Instead of aimlessly searching in dark regions, it's much faster to earn more network coins and buy them directly.

Having made up his mind, Huo left the actual battlefield.

Back at the gravedigger's hut, Huo rested briefly before contacting merchants to purchase materials for polishing and finishing the dragon artifacts.

Compared to other collectibles, the materials required for dragon collectibles are undoubtedly more expensive.

After spending nearly 5 yuan on each of the five dragon collectibles, Huo finally polished and refined them.

After the enhancement, Huo Huan's innate armor and energy resistance were further improved, and the number of times each type of dragon breath could be used per day was also increased by 2.

After making a series of purchases, Huo still had approximately 5 Zongwang coins left, including what he had previously kept.

Huo doesn't plan to spend these 5 Zongwang coins for the time being. He doesn't have anything urgent to do right now, so he wants to keep some Zongwang coins on hand just in case.

After a day of rest, when Huo opened the panel the next morning, a new battlefield had been successfully refreshed in the dungeon section.

'Breath of the Deep' suggests that the next battlefield will be in the ocean, which reminds Huo of the first great world he once lived in.

That was also a world dominated by the ocean, and it was the first time Huo Huan started his side business of enchanting others. However, Huo Huan did not stay in that great world for long.

This time it's also an ocean world, but Huo Huan's strength is completely different this time, and there's no extra material for Huo Huan to do side jobs now.

Looking at the battlefield on the instance panel, Huo didn't have much to prepare yet. After confirming that he had brought everything he needed, he opened the portal and went inside.

Stepping through the portal, Huo found himself in what appeared to be an ordinary small town.

The city is surrounded by city walls, but they do not appear to have been the site of any war. There are no signs of damage on the walls, only that they look somewhat old.

After glancing at it a few times, Huo turned his attention to the chat channel that popped up first.

Ignoring the chat messages from other players in the chat channel, Huo directly opened the files uploaded by other players in the chat channel.

After glancing at the information, Huo roughly understood the current situation on the battlefield.

In this battle, players are on the side of a combined army of mermaids, naga, and murlocs, while the enemy is a race from the deep sea that calls themselves the Deep Ones.

Huo frowned slightly upon seeing the name "Deep Diver".

The name was so familiar that it instinctively reminded Huo of a classic race from the Cthulhu Mythos.

If it really is the Deep One from Huo Huan's memories, then Huo Huan needs to be extremely careful, otherwise who knows what kind of monster might suddenly appear.

However, there's no need to worry too much. If the Lord of R'lyeh really does appear, the game will naturally send even more powerful players to deal with him.

Furthermore, based on information gleaned from the chat channels, there doesn't seem to be any news about players becoming Deep Ones.

As for the humans in this world, it should be said that there are no humans in this world. The only intelligent beings are mermaids, naga, and fish-men.

Land is also extremely rare, accounting for only 1% of the planet's surface area, and it mainly exists in the form of islands.

Just like the city Huo is in front of, it is also an island, and the city was built by the players after they came here.

Therefore, all the wars took place underwater, and the city on the island was never attacked.

As for why the war occurred, it was because the deep-sea creatures, who originally lived in the deep sea, suddenly expanded upwards from the seabed a few years ago, and clashed with the mermaids, fishmen and Naga in the ocean.

Faced with a large number of powerful Deep Ones, the Merfolk, Fish-Men, and Naga races were immediately at a disadvantage.

Just as these three races were about to suffer a complete defeat, the Internet suddenly intervened, directly dividing the planet into a new battlefield.

Then came the arrival of players one after another.

Faced with the imminent crisis of extinction, the three races naturally welcomed the unexpected arrival of the players.

Subsequently, with the help of the players, the three races barely maintained a relative balance with the Deepsea Divers.

Having learned the specifics, Huo didn't rush into the ocean to test his skills against the deep-sea divers. Instead, he took a stroll around the city first.

Compared to the otherworldly cities Huo had stayed in before, this city was actually populated mostly by players, and most of the things sold were related to water.

However, considering that the battlefield is underwater, it's not surprising that it's related to water.

Thinking this, Huo put down the water-repelling bead he was examining and then looked at a stall next to him.

The owner of the stall next to it is not a player, but a mermaid.

It has a human upper body and a fish tail, with long golden hair. It wears only clothes made of seashells and seaweed, which look quite cool and beautiful.

Huo also noticed her, not because of her looks, but because of what she had on display at her stall: a statue with a fish head, human body, and fish tail, covered in fish scales and fins.

"What is this?" Huo pointed to the palm-sized statue on the stall.

"This is a statue we stole from those deep-sea creatures. Do you like it? It's only 5 coins," the mermaid girl at the stall quickly replied when someone asked.

Upon hearing the mermaid sister's answer, Huo lowered his head, stroked his chin, and remained silent in thought.

It's so similar, it's almost exactly the same as the description of Dagon's appearance that Huo still remembers.

Chapter 205 The Deep Ones

After pondering for a while, Huo finally took out his money and bought the statue.

Huo didn't have any shells, so he took out a gold coin he got from the dragon's nest as currency.

The mermaid sister readily accepted this, clearly indicating that gold was also used as currency among the three ocean races.

After putting away the statue, Huo didn't continue strolling around. Instead, he prepared to go into the sea to see these deep-sea divers for himself.

After leaving the small town, Huo soon arrived at the seaside.

At this moment, the sea appeared calm and tranquil, showing no sign of the fierce battle raging beneath the surface.

Huo shook his head, clearing his mind, and plunged headfirst into the sea.

The cool seawater caressed his entire body, and Huo began to move forward on the seabed.

With amphibious capabilities and dark vision, the underwater environment posed no obstacle for Huo Huan. Even with the increasing water pressure, Huo Huan was able to adapt quickly thanks to his natural adaptability.

As Huo descended, he soon arrived at the coordinates recorded in the chat channel. This was one of the main battlefields of this plane, where large numbers of deep-sea diver could be seen emerging from the deep sea almost every day to attack the territory of the merfolk.

As soon as Huo arrived, he saw thousands of deep-sea divers emerge from a crevice in the seabed and launch an attack on the defensive circle formed by the mermaids.

Seeing this, Huo stopped and began to examine the appearance of these Deep Ones.

It has a fish head, a human-like torso, and is covered in grayish-green scales. Its belly is white, and it has webbed fingers. Its back, elbows, and other joints have constantly trembling fins, and it occasionally emits a hoarse, sharp throat sound.

These Deep Ones looked exactly like the ones Huo remembered from his previous life.

Without joining the battle, Huo also summoned the Book of Collections to contain the corpses of some Deep Ones.

Race Name: Deep One

Introduction: The Deep Ones are a type of creature in the Cthulhu Mythos. They are a marine humanoid race with fish-like features and near-eternal lifespans. The Deep Ones are fanatically worshipping their leader, the Father God Dagon, and their Mother Goddess Hydra. While serving them, they also worship the great Cthulhu.

Traits: Amphibious breathing, deep-sea perception, immortal blood

Amphibious breathing: ...

Deep-sea perception: As a deep-sea diver capable of surviving in the deep sea, the harsh environment of the deep sea does not pose an obstacle to the diver. After equipping this ability, the player's dark vision range is doubled, and they can sense vibrations within a hundred meters.

Immortal Blood: Deep Ones have a near-eternal natural lifespan, but when killed, they sink to the bottom of the sea and are resurrected in a sacrificial ritual after hundreds of years. When equipped, players gain Immortal Blood, granting them a near-eternal natural lifespan.

After reading the introduction of the Deep Diver, Huo couldn't help but frown deeply.

This is troublesome. The Deep Ones are actually not too difficult to deal with; they are just more numerous and stronger. However, their superior's superior, Cthulhu, is one of the Great Old Ones, not someone like Hogan, a small-time Karami, who can easily mess with them.

No, it should be said that even without Cthulhu, Dagon, the father of the Deep Ones, alone is enough to give all the players present a run for their money.

However, thinking about these things is useless; it's still uncertain whether Dagon, the leader of these Deep Ones, will appear.
