Chapter 36

After Peter returned to the island, he called for the orcas.

He planned to let the orcas dive to the bottom of the sea to salvage a few large chests that he had found before. He anticipated treasures: after all, in the outside world, a lot of movies and TV shows were like this.

However, when the orcas took half a day to bring a few chests to the beach, Peter opened all the boxes and only found a rusty broken sword.

He was very disappointed.

Peter was too lazy to take out the rusty sword, but the mermaid bent down and took out the sword from the bottom of the box.

“I think this sword looks pretty, here!” The mermaid played a joke on Peter and threw the sword in her hand to Peter.

Peter had no choice but to reach out and catch the sword thrown by the mermaid.

At this moment, the system notification sounded again.

[ sword of the ocean ]

[ quality ] : god-tier

[ durability ] : 0/100(can be repaired with life origin energy)

Peter immediately used life origin energy to repair the sword of the ocean. The repaired sword of the ocean changed its rusty body and emitted a dazzling sword light.

This was the ocean sword that Peter wanted. Supplementing with Peter’s power source and its sword aura, it can deal with two ordinary sea monsters.

According to Peter’s current ability, if he went to the island where the elves lived or the island where the dwarves lived, he could do so as he saw fit. There was no trouble at all.

Peter was very confident now. While others were still unable to protect their islands, Peter already had so many methods that he could instantly kill an ordinary sea monster.

Even powerful sea monsters can wield at most some average fish around, yet Peter had a diverse set of powerful beasts.

Although he had a shocking trump card, the consumption of the tree of life origin also increased a lot.

In the few days after returning to the island, every day during the day, sea monsters would attack the island with sea monsters. However, the sea monster that had been beaten away by the six-winged seraph did not appear again.

Peter did not know where that big fellow had run off to, but likely to increase its strength or wait for an opportunity.

During this week, Peter had also looked at the forums and chat zones, and although the number of survivors had been declining, it was much slower than the previous week. It was possible that after dodging the sea monster’s attacks, the strength of those who survived could not be underestimated.

As the number of attacks of the sea monsters decreased, Peter found a lot of people discussing the group event released by the island world.

After exiting the forum, Peter also received a notification from the system.

[ group mission ]

[ deep sea octopus ] : find and kill the deep sea octopus monster to obtain mana source. Every 1,000 people will be allocated to the Demon Island. The first to kill the deep sea octopus monster will obtain mana source. Other participants will receive points as rewards. ]

Once this announcement was made, the humans in the island world were in an uproar. The lowest reward for the participants was points!

However, they were not fools. Such a generous reward was definitely very dangerous. They may even have to risk their lives!

Peter was very surprised. He did not care about the points reward, but was surprised that the will of the island world actually took out the mana source as a reward for killing the deep sea octopus monster.

It seemed that this island world was not what people had imagined.

Suddenly issuing a group mission? Could it be that the will of the island world had encountered a crisis that could not be resolved?

Peter planned to invite a few more people to participate in this group mission.

After all, he did not feel very good in his heart.

Following that, Peter contacted his two good friends, Hawk and Eric.

Peter said, “Are the two of you there? Did you see the information released by the island world?”

Eric said, “Yes, I did. I didn’t expect there to be such a large-scale group mission. I really don’t understand what the island world is trying to do.”

Hawk said, “Then should we go? Or should we wait and see?”

Peter said, “I think we should go and take a look. We can quit at any time anyway. The three of us should form a team first.”

After Peter finished typing, he formed a team with the other two before opening the passage to Demon Island.

Actually, Hawk and Eric were also very curious about Peter inviting them to join. After all, Peter’s has a great reputation that can excite even former classmates.

As the three of them entered the portal, when they woke up again, the three of them were standing on their respective ships, specially provided by the island world for the participants.

Peter looked at Hawk and Eric respectively. “I didn’t expect to be teleported here directly this time.”

Eric had calmed down from his excitement. He looked at Peter and Hawk and said, “Look at the smartwatches on your wrists. Since we entered here, the number of people has been increasing. Why don’t we see the deep-sea octopus?”

Hawk pointed at the huge pillar in front of them and said, “Look over there. There are still many ships. It seems that they are all people who have been teleported here.”

Just as the three of them were discussing, the smartwatch showed that the current number of people had already reached 1,000.

[ island world reminds participants: the countdown is one hour. No one may exit during this time. The deep-sea octopuses will appear on Demon Island. You will receive a reward for killing the deep-sea octopuses. Humans who cause damage will receive a reward for points. ]

In other words, the countdown would start when the number of participants was full. From now on, withdrawals are not allowed.

Eric looked at the participants around him.

“Have you noticed that the range of activities of the participants this time is not very large, causing the participants to be very close to each other, and only a very short distance from Demon Island in the center?”

Hearing this, Peter nodded and said, “You are right. After we find the deep-sea octopus, we will immediately end the battle. I have a bad feeling about this.”

The three of them were ready. Not only them, but all the people on Demon Island had the same thought.

The participants were not stupid. They could see that the area this time was very small, and even the way to retreat was covered by the light curtain. There exists no retreat.

In the remaining one hour, the participants were not idle.

Each of them sat in their own boat, on high alert.

Some of the Braver Ones had already steered the sailboat towards the demon island in the middle.

However, it seemed that they did not find anything in the end. In the end, they returned to their original positions because the system had clearly stated it.

The first place where the deep-sea octopus monster appeared was on Demon Island.

In the space of Demon Island, the entire sky was dark. Thunder and lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, adding a bit of mystery to this dimensional space.
