Chapter 453 - 436: Did I... End Up On An Island?
The appearance of the Dark Reef had become a huge obstacle.
The Air Force\'s small squadrons had already lost thousands of lives.
And in the most intense part of the naval battle, Super Tomato\'s [Raft Battleship] had numerous victories!
Helicoprion sharks that dared to approach and attack them almost never escaped.
The players of the Spear Team, rushing back and forth on the Raft Battleship, killed one Helicoprion shark after another.
These people seemed to have bloodlust, running faster and faster.
Even the sharks that were out of reach had spears thrown at them like javelins to make them bleed!
Thanks to the three-layer thick base and ultra-high stability of the "Raft Battleship", they walked on it as if it were flat ground, making their spears increasingly accurate and increasing their killing efficiency.
They even accomplished a second important achievement - crippling a Giant-toothed Shark more than fifteen meters in length!
As to why it was called an achievement, it was because this Giant-toothed Shark was targeted by both a Toste Giant Squid and a Canglong while attempting to escape. Both entangled and killed it, completely wiping out the Giant-toothed Shark.
Super Tomato also seized the opportunity to leave a spear lodged on a Canglong\'s neck.
Afterward, he paid special attention to the attacking behemoths on the sea\'s surface and confirmed that he never saw the Canglong again.
Then, he decisively shared his discovery in the [Combat General Group]:
"Bleeding sea creatures will be attacked and eaten by other sea creatures."
"Satiated ocean behemoths will leave the battlefield. It is uncertain whether Helicoprion sharks will follow this rule, but it is assumed they will."
"It is recommended to inflict as much damage as possible while advancing."
After Super Tomato provided intelligence, everyone compiled the information together.
For example: The [Bathing Girl Lamp] worked well for driving away sea creatures and pterosaurs.
Metal weapons were amazing at killing sea creatures, but ineffective against pterosaurs.
The rafts that reached the 50m line suffered very concentrated attacks, and only a few were left that had been stuck on the hidden reef or survived using [Bathing Girl Lamp]. The rest had been destroyed.
The Air Force had good results disrupting the pterosaurs but had limited control over their timing, so the safe time they could buy was limited.
Afterward, they discussed tactics in a huddle for several seconds, then decided on the following:
[Bleed and kill sharks whenever possible, wait for the opportunity to gather, and ultimately - launch a full attack!]
That\'s right, after countless battles, the players discovered various new information. However, the ultimate plan they came up with was a simple rush and did not involve much technical content.
The fundamental reason was that there were simply too many players participating in the battle!
So many that precise command and temporary adjustment of tactics were impossible and unrealisti.
The only thing to do was to have the organizers of each small group inform the players not to simply withstand the attacks and focus on rowing forward without getting in the water to play games with the sharks. Instead, they were to inflict as much damage as possible and make the sharks bleed.
The goal of this idea was to feed the giant, destructive behemoths as quickly as possible.
If they could satiate these behemoths and have them leave the battlefield first, then everyone would not need to worry about their terrifying destructive power and could easily gather together.
Once gathered together, they could more easily fight the much weaker Helicoprion sharks.
This tactic quickly began to show noticeable results.
Although the Helicoprion sharks continued their attacks and their numbers were overwhelming, the attack frequency of the giant marine creatures had noticeably decreased.
Super Tomato was the first to notice this because their Raft Battleship was the only combat unit capable of defending itself and even fighting back against the giant creatures.
So, he immediately issued a notice for all players to accelerate their gathering and finally formed a dense formation on the sea, with only about two meters between them.
The horn to charge finally sounded!
And in a very short time, they advanced to the 50m line under the attack of the outer Helicoprion sharks!
On this journey, although the outer rafts were continuously damaged and sinking, the inner circle remained safe.
But after entering the 50m line, the appearance of the pterosaur group posed a threat to the players in the inner circle again.
Adding to this the presence of the Dark Reef, fast movement had to be temporarily halted, and the gathering formation had to disperse slightly.
More troublesome was the appearance of the top predator among the pterosaurs, the Wind God Wyvern with wingspans of over ten meters!
Compared to small pterosaurs who could only attack players, these large ones could attack the rafts as well!
These top aerial predators, leading the pterosaur group, swooped down on the raft swarm, instantly snatching dozens of players into the sky, while two rafts had their bases broken and began to slowly sink.
The players, however, only managed to kill a mere five or six pterosaurs.
Not to mention, the fallen pterosaurs created a massive problem for the rafts with limited weight-bearing capacity.
It wasn\'t over yet; the pterosaur group quickly swooped around in the sky and attacked again!
Under the multi-pronged attack of dense Helicoprion sharks, hidden reefs that could not be cleared out, and the pterosaurs in the sky, the death toll of the players began to rise slowly once more.
In this critical moment, the [Air Force Death Squad] entered the fray once again!
William divided the Fourth Squadron into groups of 200, arranged the timing, and finally jumped from the cliff, leading the charge.
Nishino Chizuru, who had been in a daze in the Fourth Squadron for quite a while, couldn\'t wait any longer. She screamed and jumped from the cliff to catch up with the team.
As they lowered their altitude and were about to dive into the pterosaur group, she couldn\'t help but shout out -
"Yah! Hoo~~~~~~"
Unbounded joy!
Many players on the sea heard the scream and looked up.
In the blink of an eye, Queenie went from overjoyed to devastated.
Maybe because her cheer was too arrogant, the Wind God Wyvern gave up chasing the raft on the sea. It spread its wings, stirred up a strong wind, opened its huge mouth, and rushed straight at her!
Startled, Queenie instinctively covered her eyes with both hands.
But this action reduced air resistance, further accelerating her speed! And then—
She plunged headfirst into the Wind God Wyvern\'s mouth!
"Ahhhhhhh!" Queenie screamed in horror.
Her screams, however, were all swallowed into the belly of the Wind God Wyvern.
Everyone on the sea watched in silence as Queenie\'s legs flailed outside the wyvern\'s throat. However, she had no leverage and couldn\'t escape.
Meanwhile, the once mighty and unparalleled King of the Sky also began to struggle desperately. It made coughing noises, and its wings flapped wildly as it tried to fly back.
Everyone stared at the flailing legs in the air and the increasingly panicked wings, their mouths agape.
After a while, they couldn\'t help but laugh and tease:
"Is this...an extreme one-for-one trade?"
"Hahaha, genius!"
"That\'s unbelievable!"
...
Trapped in the wyvern\'s jaws, Queenie finally realized what had happened: she was stuck in the throat of this enormous winged creature.
"Is this...an achievement?"
"If I think about it, trading one for one with it doesn\'t seem like a loss," Queenie comforted herself.
But she didn\'t expect that at some point, the massive wyvern stopped struggling. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Then—
The sound effect played!
Light gathered before her eyes!
"Is this...an achievement?"
In the darkness, Queenie reached out, grabbing the trophy in front of her.
The trophy didn\'t look special, just a standard shape.
On the base, the name of the achievement was engraved—
[Behemoth Slayer·Wind God Wyvern]
Accompanying this achievement was a system prompt: [Ancestors\' Glory] series achievement unlocked.
Before she could see more specific details, an even louder sound effect played, and an even more intense light gathered!
Everyone on the sea looked at this scene in astonishment.
If they could understand the light earlier, as some people had seen the moment when Super Tomato\'s team killed the Dragon King Whale and got an achievement, but—-
How could someone obtain two achievements simultaneously?
Moreover, based on the size of the sound effect and the intensity of the light, this second achievement was obviously more precious and valuable!
Just by looking at the visual effects, it was almost like a meteor falling right in front of you.
Dazzling, stunning!
Not only were the players on the sea puzzled, but Queenie, still stuck in the Wind God Wyvern\'s throat, was also shocked beyond belief.
As the trophy took shape before her incredulous eyes,
This time, the trophy design was much more elaborate— Suspended in a floating design on a brass base was a lifelike Wind God Wyvern.
On the base, as always, was the name of the achievement—
[I am the king of the sky!]
Such a sense of humor...
Before Queenie had time to criticize, she suddenly felt a strong shock that nearly made her vomit up her internal organs!
Her health bar plunged significantly.
"Is this...landing?"
Before she could think about what it meant, she was startled by a colossal, deafening sound effect.
Players on the sea watched in silence as the giant corpse of the Wind God Wyvern, with two legs in its throat, fell onto the beach of Dinosaur Island.
Then—
As soon as the previous burst of light had faded, an even more intense light shone again!
Everyone stared at the second "sun" that suddenly appeared on the beach, dumbfounded, unsure of what to make of it...
As Queenie flailed her legs and eventually crawled out of the Wyvern\'s throat, the trophy materialized completely.
In a crystal-clear and dazzling diamond base, a miniature version of Dinosaur Island floated overhead, with an even smaller Wind God Wyvern soaring above the forest.
——if her perception was strong enough, she would notice: there was a long scar on the back of the wyvern\'s neck, identical to the one laying at her feet.
The trophy\'s base was engraved with the name of the achievement, a name full of grandiosity—
[Dinosaur Island Conquerer]
But for now, Queenie had no interest in admiring the exquisite achievement trophy. She merely glanced around with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief.
"Did I...make it onto Dinosaur Island?"
