16: Chapter 16 Night Falls, Level 8 Support

Inside the island, patches of sheep, deer, and other creatures ran about freely.

Various herbs could be seen everywhere on the ground; it was truly a complete ecosystem.

Of course, the most important things were not the meat, minerals, or herbs.

What surprised Chen Fan the most were those glowing treasure chests!

Having played many games, he immediately understood the importance of these treasure chests.

"I was wondering why I hadn't encountered any treasure chests; it turns out they were all hidden on the island."

Chen Fan suddenly realized.

No wonder; he had dispatched two hundred fish and one hundred Sailors, yet hadn't found a single treasure chest.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Fan controlled the Sailors to pick up all the treasure chests found along the way.

Continuing deeper, he encountered many caves of varying depths. After a brief investigation, he discovered they were nests for wild animals.

After exploring more than twenty of them and finding nothing, Chen Fan stopped paying attention to these caves and focused on scanning the map.

By the time he finished exploring the entire island, the Sailors had found a total of 7 white treasure chests, 3 yellow treasure chests, and 1 blue treasure chest.

They even collected hundreds of jin of fruits like strawberries and waxberries.

It could be said that the harvest was abundant!

Before leaving, Chen Fan had them capture a deer and a sheep alive.

As for the remaining supplies, Chen Fan decided to store them here temporarily.

After all, based on previous experience, as long as he recruited the deer and sheep as Crew Members, he could have unlimited meat.

He attached a camera to a Sailor's chest, left him with a few days' rations, and had him guard the shore.

The remaining Sailors carried the supplies onto the sailboat together.

[Ding!]

[Player: china, successfully explored an uninhabited island.]

[Explorer title upgraded to White Lv2. 10% boost.]

The moment the message appeared, the Emperor, who had just swindled a hundred gold coins, went blank.

Immediately after, he trembled with rage and raised the long saber in his hand, wanting to throw it away.

After brandishing it a few times, he snorted angrily and slapped the long saber onto his raft.

He couldn't bear to throw it away; this was something he had bought from Chen Fan for five bamboo at the very beginning.

"china, I swear we are irreconcilable enemies."

After cursing a few times, he reached out and touched the blade, frowning.

"Where did this china get this blade? Why is it so sharp?"

"It seems this kid has many secrets. Whatever, when I get the chance, I'll cripple him and make him spit them out one by one."

The Emperor clenched his fist tightly, revealing a sinister smile.

Except for the Emperor and a few jealous people, the other Players began to cheer for Chen Fan.

"After all, Boss china finished exploring the island so quickly."

"I told you the Boss could navigate and explore. Who was it earlier that said the Boss wouldn't dare?"

"Boss, what resources are on the island? Let us have a look."

"Can he show that to you? Ever heard of not flaunting your wealth?"

"Damn it, why can't I encounter an island!"

"I remember a brother saw an island earlier; why don't you go try it too?"

"Yeah, buddy, fortune favors the bold!"

Watching the one-sided cheers, The Five Women were also full of joy.

They were chatting excitedly in the group chat.

Vase: "Brother Huaxia, show us what you harvested."

speechless ship: "Did you find any special supplies?"

Chen Fan chuckled and sent out the pictures.

"Collected a few treasure chests, some fruit, and a deer and a sheep. I'll roast them for you to taste later."

Demon: "Wow! We get to eat roasted venison!"

Samo: "I want to eat lamb leg! I've been eating bread all day, it's making me sick."

long time ship: "I... I want to eat waxberries."

Vase: "Wuwuwu, they are all mine! Don't you dare snatch them from me!"

Chen Fan couldn't help but smile, turning his gaze to the treasure chests.

Suddenly, he froze.

After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but let out a wail:

"Damn it!"

"Damn it all!"

"Why am I so stupid! Why didn't I request support and let them get the treasure chests!"

"Damn, my treasure chests!"

He slapped himself a few times, clutching his head and wailing.

But after a while, he convinced himself.

"It's the first time encountering an island and the first time encountering treasure chests; it's normal to be cautious."

"It's fine, I'll just let them come next time."

"I'm not angry, I'm not upset, it's just a few treasure chests."

"Yeah, right, just a few treasure chests."

After brainwashing himself, Chen Fan began to study the treasure chests.

After fumbling with them for a long time, he still didn't know how to open them.

"Strange, how exactly do you open the lock on this?"

"There are no keys for sale in the shop either."

"Could it be that I have to search for keys?"

Chen Fan pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, the treasure chests were already in his hands; opening them was just a matter of time.

He looked up.

At this moment, the sun was setting.

It spilled onto the sea level, forming a streak of orange firelight.

A cool breeze blew over, extinguishing the last glimmer of sunlight.

The afterglow of the sun gradually dissipated in Chen Fan's eyes.

Night fell.

In just half a minute, the regional channel exploded again.

"Help! There's a monster!"

"Damn, what is this thing? Everyone, support quickly!"

"@china, Boss, save me!"

"It's over, it's all over, my Level 1 raft didn't even last one hit."

"..."

A series of distress messages flashed by, leaving the Players stunned.

What was going on?

Why were so many Players calling for help all of a sudden?

Immediately, the next moment.

[15 Players simultaneously requested support.]

[Support Level: Level 8!]

Vase: "Wow! Level 8!"

Samo: "There are actually fifteen Players in danger at the same time; in the vast ocean, how is that possible?"

long time ship: "Could it be that the thing attacking the Players this time is extremely huge?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone exclaimed.

That's right, the Players were all very far apart.

Just how big must this thing be to attack 15 Players at once?

Just as everyone was at a loss, Chen Fan appeared.

china: "Don't panic. Just like the Level 7 support, everyone attack to support. Those with Crew Members can choose to have their Crew Members support."

china: "The maximum number of people for Level 8 support is five thousand. If you don't have weapons, don't support; leave the spots for those who have weapons. Otherwise, it might cause the support to fail for everyone!"

With a few short sentences, everyone immediately found their backbone and responded in agreement.

"The Boss is right; the difficulty of Level 8 is definitely much higher than Level 7. Don't take up spots if you don't have weapons."

"Rest assured, everyone, I will enable vision sharing so you can watch without spending gold coins."

"Yes, those without weapons, don't join the fun. If you don't attack, you'll at most get 1 gold coin and no extra rewards. Don't waste the spots."

After brief communication, those with ranged weapons agreed to support simultaneously.

[Player: china, entered the support channel!]

Once this message appeared, the Players' confidence grew even stronger.

Most people didn't even notice the Emperor's support message hidden in the long string of messages.

As soon as the Sharpshooter landed, the scene before him stunned Chen Fan.

A dark, columnar object extending into the sky struck straight down.

The light was dim, and it was unclear what the columnar object was. It seemed to be wrapped in a faint golden light.

The moment it struck, the sea level was split into two.

Countless shallow-sea fish were shaken and sent flying everywhere.

Several unlucky Players were smashed into fragments.

This bloody scene made the first batch of Players who entered feel a churn in their stomachs.

"Damn, what is this thing?"

"It's black, thick, and long. This thing can actually glow?"

"Oh my god, it's so scary, I want to go home!"

"..."

All five thousand people were in position, and seeing this horrifying scene, they all exclaimed.

Just at this moment, the columnar object raised itself high again.

But this time, it was not aiming at the Players on the sea level requesting help.

But rather.

Those five thousand black vortexes.
