BXBX NOVEL Chapter 339: Seabed Forest
"I don\'t think so."
"There are six symbols on each door. Based on the symbols, we feel like the Tarocto tribe is the weakest."
"This is stupid," Erix suddenly said with a bored expression and caused silence at the table before he waved his hand and created six light gray metallic cards, each one having a symbol of one of the six tribes.
He shuffled the cards by controlling and spreading them out before Rin on the table. Each card had the same back, so no one knew which card belonged to which tribe.
"Pick one," Erix smiled.
"Good idea," Rin grinned and picked the 3rd card, the one in the middle.
Everyone looked at it as Rin turned it around and revealed the symbol.
"Baiandron Tribe it is then," Erix announced and stood up. "Let\'s go."
"…"
In the end, everyone got up and walked towards the Protection Pond to take the buff.
[Without Aquatic Protection, you will take increased damage of water, ice, and lightning attributes while also suffering a constant water pressure that reduces your vitality and durability of armor-sets according to the areas you venture.]
"Check twice if you received buff or not. Without it, you\'ll die like a drowning fish," Leishun said to his members and indirectly to others.
Meanwhile, Erix added everyone to a single party called [Atlantis Expedition Party].
Only natives were allowed to participate in these events, so the powerhouses of tribes returned.
Aria and Amu also couldn\'t enter, so they went to the Moondawn Elf clan\'s camp in the starting area of the hub, and then they would return to the island and look after the kids.
Many clans of various races had made camps here and were selling their specialties.
Since going into Atlantis would become regular after this, they had finally opened their stores today.
On the other hand, the party of 121 people arrived before the huge door of the Baiandron Tribe after receiving the Water-Mystic buff.
Erix walked forward and touched the door, causing a pop-up to appear.
As a party leader, Erix had to respond to the message about letting the [Atlantis Expedition Party] in the Baiandron Tribe\'s territory.
But before that, the rest also had a pop-up, and everyone had to press [Ready] by their will to proceed ahead.
Soon, everyone pressed [Ready], and Erix could also press [Enter] in his party leader pop-up.
*Dhrr…*
Right after that, the door slowly opened, revealing a mystical watery blue membrane with dark blue sparkling waves.
It looked like a portal.
Everyone looked at it in curiosity while Erix and Rin entered inside first.
On the other side, Erix and Rin arrived at the depths of a magical sea floor. Before them was a vast colorful natural forest consisting of exotic underwater plants and trees.
Soon, other people also popped out from the huge portal behind them in groups.
Everyone arrived after a few seconds.
"It looks like we are not getting any more indications of the quests," Yelwon said with narrowed eyes while searching the forest.
"Let\'s just explore the forest and see what\'s past it," Kenshin said with a laugh.
"Right," Erix grinned, his eyes glowing with a silver gleam as he was using his Space Mapping.
After a second, he finished mapping it. His eyes glowed and projected the 3D map in a size of a hundred meters slightly above him.
"This is the forest\'s map. It\'s 200 kilometers long from here until it\'s end and there are monsters inside."
Erix chuckled and added, "According to my scan, the weakest monster has forty-thousand Power Level, and the strongest has Seventy-thousand Power Level."
"Reach the end with your groups. We will meet and discuss what to do next there," Erix cracked his finger after saying that and marked a point in the 3D map before…poof.
Erix teleported Kenshin, Sameira, and the heavenly melody guild\'s seven members along with Rin, Isabella, and twelve members of the Unfettered Guild—Elena, Zoe, Leon, Alfred, Samuel, Varan, Maya, Roy, Tony, Konrad, Mike, and Beatrice.
These twelve members were Royal-order and had 40k Power levels aside from Erix, Rin, and Isabella.
Seeing Erix disappearing with two groups, everyone had a varied expression.
"See you all there," Yelwon said as she flew forward with her group of five members behind her.
"There are monsters to hunt and that means we can level up and might get rewards in some form. It\'s better to move as our respective guild groups," Koshal said, wearing a monk-like outfit armor-set with a bead chain around his wrists.
He also went into the forest with his group of seven Royal-order powerhouses, the same number as the Heavenly Melody Guild.
The rest of the guilds had either four or five and the total guilds participating in this expedition numbered 19.
Some were also solo as they had no companions with 40k Power Level. As such, these solo participants joined other guild groups.
In the end, everyone entered the forest and began the expedition in a true sense.
…
Erix and Rin\'s group also parted into two after teleporting in the starting area of the forest.
The first monster Unfettered Guild encountered was a fifty meters tall sea horse with blue flame trails behind it.
[Chilling Flame Seahorse]
_Power Level: 57,300.
"Elena and Zoe will fight this monster," Erix said as he snapped his finger, trapping the giant seahorse into a space prison, preventing it from moving.
At the same time, a couch appeared behind Erix, Rin, and Isabella.
"For real, boss?" Zoe asked with a doubtful expression.
"For real," Erix laughed.
"We shall do that," Elena\'s eyes behind her cloth blindfold faintly shone golden before she took out her sword.
"Alright, we\'ll show you our power," Zoe grinned as she brandished her spear.
Both of their weapons were crafted by Erix and had boosted their combat power significantly.
