2094 The first exploration of the deep ocean (1)
After the battle, the 153rd defense area had a short period of peace, and the believers were able to catch their breath.
The spectators had already retreated one after another, their faces full of longing, as if they were hoping that the battle would last longer.
Although the battle had ended, the gunshots did not stop. They would suddenly ring out from time to time.
Although there were still sea monsters attacking, they were only scattered. It might take some time for a large Army of sea monsters to arrive.
The believers seized the time and went to the temple one by one to exchange for supplies, changing all their armors to light high-quality leather armor.
There was no need to fight the sea monsters at close range while defending the city wall. If he wore heavy metal armor, it would undoubtedly increase his physical strength.
In the last battle, many believers were so tired that they could barely move because their armors were too heavy.
Although it was only leather armor, its exchange price was not much cheaper than metal armor, and its defense was better.
You get what you pay for. The materials of the Grand temple were genuine, and there was no exaggeration.
Although the price was not cheap, after the battle, the believers had all received a large amount of battle credits, which was more than enough to buy advanced armor.
At the same time, the believers also exchanged for cultivation resources and seized the time to improve their cultivation.
No matter when, one could not ignore the improvement of one’s own strength. The true path of cultivation was to have strong skills and sharp weapons.
With enough battle credits and the fact that they could eat a giant tree’s fruit every day, the strength of the believers in the defense area began to increase rapidly.
However, the problem of insufficient manpower had not been effectively alleviated. Although fanatical believers were summoned every day, it was only a drop in the bucket.
According to the length of the city wall of the 153rd defense area, it would take at least 10000 people to be considered a full force, but now there were only half of them.
As for the other defense areas, the number of people had long been overstaffed by more than several times. In the face of an endless sea monster, no commander would complain about having more people.
On this point, area 153 was clearly at a disadvantage.
If they could not solve the problem as soon as possible, when more and more powerful sea monsters attacked, area 153 would be in danger.
On the huge teleportation formation in the divine temple, a hundred people would appear every time. Their faces were filled with confusion and excitement as they kept looking around.
The dwarf, the horned helmet, and the others who had followed Tang Zhen had all arrived at this moment. They immediately greeted Tang Zhen.
Looking at the huge city wall and the endless number of believers, the despaired people were very excited.
They originally thought that they would not be able to meet each other again after the last time they parted, but they did not expect Tang Zhen to actually send someone to pick them up.
The midget and the others were not surprised when they heard that Tang Zhen had become the commander of the defensive area. With Tang Zhen’s strength, he would be the most dazzling existence no matter where he went.
Even though the veteran who had carried out the mission had made it clear that there was a certain risk in entering the kingdom of God, the despaired people did not hesitate at all.
Staying in the city of despair was also dangerous. Even if he controlled a city, he would still have to face the threat of the remnants of the kingdom.
Since that was the case, he might as well enter the divine Kingdom. At least he would have the chance to earn battle merits to improve his strength.
Moreover, for the desperators, obtaining a pass to go to Scandinavia had always been their goal. It was just that they had been controlled by the remnants of Scandinavia in the past.
As long as one had a brain, they would not miss this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity. Otherwise, it would be too late for regrets.
As for those who missed the opportunity, they would probably have to spend the rest of their lives in the city of despair. As the dimensional portal was closed, no fanatics would ever enter there again.
This was only the beginning. With Tang Zhen’s sneer and face-slapping last time, he believed that the spirit envoy would definitely not let the remnants of Scandinavia off easily.
If no fanatic believers entered the city of despair, this small world that received believers would be useless. The Grand temple would shut down the energy supply, and the God’s stone mine would slowly disappear.
Without the protection of the God’s stone, the runic magic circle on the city wall would slowly lose its protective function and would no longer have the effect of intimidating monsters.
In a small world where monsters ran rampant, it was simply a disaster without any means of defense against monsters.
Perhaps it wouldn’t take long for the city of despair to become a paradise for monsters. As traitors, the survivors of the kingdom of God would also be hunted down by the monsters in fear.
Good and evil would always be rewarded at the end. Because of Tang Zhen’s participation, the remnants of Scandinavia finally began to suffer their own consequences.
After Tang Zhen met up with the dwarf, Xiao Wu, and the others, he chatted with them to appease them. Then, he let Sun Jun arrange tasks for them.
After the horned helmet and the others arrived, the temple’s teleportation formation started to operate continuously, sending over batch after batch of despaired people.
By the time the last batch of desperators arrived, the number of believers in the defense area had already exceeded 10000, and the problem of insufficient manpower was barely solved.
It was obviously impossible to have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of believers in a short time like the other defense areas.
Tang Zhen made his move again, using the magical ability of the map Modification plug-in to increase the height and width of the city wall.
Even if the sea water rose and spread, it would not be able to drown the city wall, which eliminated a big hidden danger.
When the spectating believers saw this, other than being endlessly shocked, they were increasingly convinced that Tang Zhen was an extremely strong person.
After this matter, Tang Zhen’s prestige was even higher. It could be said that he had hundreds of people responding to his call.
After everything was settled, Tang Zhen called Sun Jun over and seriously advised him.
After that, he quietly left area 153 and headed straight to the deep sea on a small boat.
He planned to go out for a while and kill high-level sea monsters to gain battle merits before returning to the defense area.
Only by doing two things at the same time could he ensure that he would obtain more battle merits. This was the plan that Tang Zhen had long since made.
As the ship went deeper and deeper, sea monsters appeared one after another and launched crazy attacks at Tang Zhen.
Every time this happened, Tang Zhen would use his mental energy to drive the flying sword-like weapon to kill those sea monsters in an instant.
These were all low-level sea monsters, and killing them would not reward them with many battle merits. Occasionally, some special sea monsters would appear, but the number was not satisfactory.
This situation could only mean that he had not reached the real deep sea area. Otherwise, there would have been groups of high-level sea monsters.
This situation lasted for a few days before Tang Zhen finally saw a giant skeletal warship on the vast sea.
The skeletal warship was 50 meters long, and no one knew what kind of monster it was when it was alive. After some simple modifications, it became a moving Island in the ocean.
Under the drive of the runic magic circle, the skeletal warship moved very fast. Otherwise, it would be impossible to track the moving sea monster nest.
On the skeletal warship, there was a group of believers wearing all kinds of armor as they looked at Tang Zhen silently.
“Brother, are you looking for a sea monster nest? If you are, why don’t you join us?”
On the skeletal warship, a tall man with hideous tattoos all over his body roared at Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen gently nodded. After which, he leaped and landed on the skeletal warship.
Looking around, there were about 300 to 400 believers. Each of them was quite powerful and could be a commander in each of the major defense areas.
No matter if it was his personal strength or his armor and weapons, they were not something that ordinary believers could compare to.
“Brother, we’re currently tracking down a sea monster’s lair, and I reckon that a great battle will break out soon.
If you have companions, you can call them to act together. With one more person, our chances of winning will increase!”
The tattooed man sized Tang Zhen up before asking in a muffled voice.
“I’m moving alone. I don’t have any companions.”
The tattooed man did not say anything after hearing Tang Zhen’s words. He only asked him to find a place to rest and reminded him not to disturb other people’s training.
When Tang Zhen saw that those believers had closed their eyes to cultivate and had no intention of communicating with others, he learned from them and found an empty space to sit down.
He had just entered the deep sea and was not particularly familiar with the situation here. Following these believers was naturally the best choice.
