Chapter 123 Under Attack
After passing through the teleportation array that was flashing with light, Wu Ming and others followed closely behind the camel truck and arrived at the outskirts of Pearl Port after a dusty journey.
Dachun was seen holding a huge sword and rushing in front of the truck with a nimble posture. Every time he swung the sword, he could accurately kill a snail or a green water spirit.
Ah Hao held a dart in his hand and waved it. The dart shot towards the snail and the green water monster like a meteor, opening a safe passage for the convoy.
When encountering an area that requires climbing a rope to pass through, the experienced merchant Lao Tuan will wave the whip tied with a carrot in his hand, skillfully guiding the camels pulling the goods to avoid these obstacles and choose a flatter road to continue moving forward.
As the journey progressed, they finally left the outskirts of Pearl Harbor and entered a dense coastal jungle.
The journey was not peaceful. In addition to dealing with low-level monsters such as snails and green water spirits that appeared along the way, from time to time, you would encounter adventurers who were also hunting these monsters to obtain maple leaf coins.
Suddenly, a loud noise caught everyone's attention.
"Look! That camel-drawn cart in front is so weird!"
Someone shouted in surprise. Others looked sideways and saw a uniquely shaped camel truck slowly approaching.
"Yeah, could those people in the car be the natives of MapleStory? Why haven't I seen them before?"
Another person muttered to himself in confusion.
"It looks to me like this car is transporting some precious treasure! Maybe we can seize it and make a fortune!"
A glimmer of greed flashed in the eyes of a man with evil intentions.
"Maybe it's just a special mission! Look, there are two people in front of the car, constantly hunting snails and other monsters to clear the way for the car, and there's another person in the back to protect it!"
Others have expressed different views.
"Anyway, let's see if we can attack this treasure car first. If there's an opportunity... hehe!"
A few people were whispering and discussing in a distance, their eyes fixed on the camel cart that was getting closer and closer, each with their own ulterior motives.
On this vast wild map, those who were struggling to hunt wild monsters, when their eyes fell on Wu Ming and his group, there was an especially curious light in their eyes.
Some of them harbored malicious intentions and secretly wondered whether they should try to rob this group of people.
"Boss, why is our mission so cool? It actually attracted such a large crowd of people!"
While nervously observing the people around him who were whispering and pointing at each other, Da Chun quickly ran to the back of the truck and started talking to Wu Ming.
"This is indeed a thorny problem! We need to think carefully about how to deal with it. If we continue to do nothing, I'm afraid these guys will become even more aggressive!"
Wu Ming nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Dachun's opinion.
Wu Ming's sharp eyes were fixed on the people around him, and he soon noticed that the greed on the faces of several people was exposed.
At this moment, when the team crossed the maps of Coastal Jungle 1 and 2 and continued to advance towards Coastal Jungle 3, Wu Ming was surprised to find that the number of people hunting wild monsters following the transport train was snowballing.
Looking at the growing group of followers, Wu Ming couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.
After all, among these many followers, there are still many weaklings below level 30. If you rashly kill them, it is very likely to trigger the backlash of the rules of the MapleStory world, resulting in severe punishment or even death.
"What a hassle! I had originally thought this mission was just an easy, ordinary escort mission!
Who could have imagined that along the way, not only would we have to be constantly vigilant against those elusive wild monsters and be on high alert for bandits who might pop up at any moment, but now we have to deal with these fellow Blue Stars who have changed their professions! What should we do?
Wu Ming secretly groaned and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
At this moment, there was a sound of "whoosh", a flash of cold light, and an extremely sharp dart rushed straight towards the camel on the truck like lightning.
It happened in a flash. Fortunately, Dachun, who had been concentrating on paying attention to the movements around him, reacted quickly. He quickly pulled out the indestructible shield behind him and blocked it forward without hesitation.
With a loud clang, the dart slammed into the shield, sending up a string of dazzling sparks. Thanks to Dachun's swift and accurate defensive action, the camel was spared the potential damage from the incoming dart.
However, this is just the beginning.
"Brothers, charge! This truck is loaded with hundreds of millions of Maple Leaf coins! If we can successfully capture it, we will make a fortune!"
As the dart was shot, a pair of bewitching words suddenly came from somewhere.
This sentence was like the fuse that lit a powder keg, instantly sending everyone on the Coastal Jungle 3 map into a frenzy.
Suddenly, shouts of killing erupted, deafening the ears. A wide variety of skills rained down on the escort vehicle.
"I want it! All this money is mine! Haha, look at my powerful throw!"
A burly man roared and threw the dart in his hand with all his might at the escort vehicle, making a whistling sound and with an astonishing momentum.
"Look at my flaming arrows!"
Another magician in a gorgeous robe waved his staff with both hands and muttered something. Two blazing flames roared out and headed straight for the escort vehicle.
In addition, there were countless sword lights, arrows, ice cones and other various attacks intertwined together, forming a dazzling and unavoidable web of death, as if it was going to completely engulf the entire escort vehicle.
"Boss! We can't hold on any longer!"
Dachun roared with horror on his face, his voice drowned out by the sounds of fierce battle.
Dachun waved his weapon desperately, trying to resist the enemies that were pouring in like a tide, but the sudden bombardment of powerful skills made him feel powerless.
Ah Hao on the side was also in a mess. The speed at which he threw darts could not keep up with the speed of others' attacks, and some of the attacks had already hit the truck.
At this moment, Wu Ming looked calmly at the tragic scene in front of him.
The truck they were responsible for escorting and protecting was under fierce attack. Sparks kept flashing on the body of the truck. The merchant group was so scared that they ran away in the truck. The goods could be stolen or destroyed at any time.
