Armipotent-Chapter 1897: Unique Floor
Tang Shaoyang decided to go around for another hour and confirmed that the eleventh floor was uninhibited land, just monsters and abundant resources. He had a theory of how the eleventh floor would be for the participants. In order to confirm his guess, he proceeded to the next floor because he had stayed long enough on the eleventh floor and found the floor boss when he was exploring.
He arrived on the twelfth floor after a boring fight between his spirit against a weak floor boss. The same with the previous floor, he was teleported into the middle of nowhere. He was inside a forest, but the twelfth floor was more normal. There was no giant tree that rivaled the skyscraper.
The tallest tree was ten meters, the leaves looked similar to the normal tree. The difference was the thick trunk and branches. That might be the only thing that differentiated the tree here than the normal tree. Even though it was not as tall as the others, the trunk was eight to ten times larger than his body. It made the tree look slightly weird to see.
Tang Shaoyang activated his Chaos Eyes to check the surroundings, identifying the monsters residing in this place. The information of this floor would benefit his people who would come here eventually. His eyes widened in surprise because he could not find the monster. Not only could he not find the monster, he was surprised to find out where he was.
He was on an island, a long island. Through his bird view vision, he was in the east of the land, and his Chaos Eyes could not reach the other side of the island. Instead of exploring the island, he left for the beach. All he needed was a quick run to reach the beast, less than ten seconds.
He chuckled as he found a beautiful beach. The water was pristine clear, the white sand spread out, and small fish swam through the swallow water. When he found such a beautiful scene, the first thing that came into his mind was his daughter. The tower might be dangerous, but she should be safe as long as she was with him.
Tang Shaoyang imagined his daughter's smile as she ran through the beach, how happy she would be, playing in the water and the fish. That was for later for sure as he focused back to the Chaos Eyes. He hoped to find another island close by, but there was no island nearby, at least not within his Chaos Eyes's range.
"Does the tower expect the players to build a ship to explore this floor?"
He said to himself as he turned around, walking to the other side of the island. He kept the Chaos Eyes up as he traveled through the forest until he reached the other side of the island. There were no monsters and beasts or even animals on the island. It was just forest and him, nothing else.
He checked with his Chaos Eyes as well, thinking there might be another island close from this side. This was even more bizarre than the previous floor. At least, the eleventh floor was abundant with resources and resources, a place that was worth fighting on. But the twelfth was more bizarre, there was nothing here.
Tang Shaoyang turned around and his gaze locked on the giant-trunk tree, "They really expect us to build a ship with the trees to explore this floor?"
There was no monster or beast on the island, but he could not guarantee if they did not exist inside the water. The monster might be in the water as well as the floor boss. The twelfth floor might be trickier than he thought.
The sea might stop the other players, but not him. He flew to the sky and headed to the west, the water could not stop him exploring the floor. His Chaos Eyes were active all the time, checking the flying monster or beast, and the sky was clear from danger as well. The surprise was that he could not find another island, not after he flew for an hour.
With his speed, he did not know how far he was from the starter island he was teleported to. It might take hours or maybe days if he took a ship. No matter how fast a ship was, it could not be faster than him.
"I see… The theme for the twelfth floor is fishing…"
Tang Shaoyang confirmed that the beast and monsters were in the sea, including the floor boss.
"Or maybe I can find the boss gate on another island?"
There was a possibility that one of the islands had the gate to the floor boss. The players must race to find that gate. It was a possibility, but unlikely considering how far the distance between each island.
If each island was separated by the same distance, he needed another hour to reach another island. An hour travel between the islands.
Tang Shaoyang checked the time, it was 11.13 pm. He only had eight hours until the promised time. He promised Zhang Mengyao to meet them at 7 am, repeatedly warning him that he must be ready by that time. He did not want to be late, let alone breaking the promise.
That meant he did not have enough time to confirm his theory that one of the islands might have the boss gate. With the time he had, he could only check another seven islands, and seven islands were not enough to prove his guess was wrong.
[You can be dumb sometimes, you have us you dumb.] Avyn scolded him inside his head.
Tang Shaoyang's eyes widened in realization. That was right, he had many spirits that could fly, and also one skeleton that could fly. He summoned them all and split them into three groups, and they flew into three different directions.
He spent his four hours flying, gathering more information about the twelfth floor, and he confirmed that there was no boss gate for all islands he and his spirits discovered. Each island was mostly the same, they had the same trees, no beast or monsters, and had the same tree. The only difference was their shape, each island had a different shape.
Tang Shaoyang confirmed the situation for the twelfth floor and realized that this would be trickier even for him. He never fought in the water and was not interested to try it before, and not now. But he had no choice but to explore the sea.
[You know, you can create a sphere barrier, and you will be free from water. As for the fight inside the water, you have your Chaos Blade. You still can have your blade to fight for you.] Zara gave an idea for Tang Shaoyang.
It was something he would figure out on his own sooner or later, "You are right. The solution is simple, and I have Master Elemental Manipulation skill as well. There's something wrong with my head, something slowing my thinking…"
[Maybe because of the Guild Master on the third floor, the dancer on the sixth floor, and the Queen on the ninth floor. Their charms work on you, slowing your brain.] Avyn blurted out. Her voice reeked with jealousy.
Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes and created an insulated barrier as Zara told him to before entering the water. The surface of the ocean was clear, no monster or beast on sight, but small fish, harmless fish. He started to go deeper, and it did not take for him to find a new ecosystem where not just harmless fish existed, but also the sea beast.
The Manta Rays with its evolution, its fins were releasing lightning, but contained only to its fin. Not only was the fin releasing contained lighting, but it was also sharp like a blade. It had five tails, five-meter-long each and it looked made of steel or maybe something stronger and tougher than steel. And of course, it was much bigger than the original Manta Rays, much bigger.
Then he found the shark, smaller in size, but it moved so fast under water. Just like lighting, zapping around while catching its food. There was a bigger shark, rivaling the Manta Ray's size as well. They moved slower, but it had some kind of sucking skill, sucking its prey into its mouth. There he saw the rotating small teeth, but countless in numbers, maybe thousands of them.
Tang Shaoyang thought it would be a tricky floor, but he quickly found out it was not as tricky as he thought. While the sea beast was intimidating, and the environment was unfavorable, the beast was not high in rank. Most of them were Myth Rank, the highest he could find was Primordial Rank, the giant Manta Rays was the Primordial Rank. The remaining beasts were between Ancient Rank and Myth Rank.
"I only have four hours for this, let's start the slaughter!"
He started to slaughter the beast with his Chaos Blades. The water could not slow his blade as it sliced through the beasts as he kept going deeper and started to find the higher-ranked beast.
