With the equipment gifted by Zhang Pingfan, players' efficiency immediately picked up.
Unlike before, when players were killing unknown creatures, the frontline tanks couldn't hold on.
But now, it was different. The frontline tanks could withstand at least 10 attacks.
Coupled with the healing effects of the priests, they could basically remain undefeated.
Looking at the speed of killing unknown creatures, with teams of 20 people.
Each unknown creature took at most 8 minutes, which was a full double of the previous efficiency.
This was because the players' combat power had been greatly enhanced.
Combined with their increasing familiarity in fighting unknown creatures.
After a few hours, the spawn rate of unknown creatures significantly decreased.
Currently, their numbers were always kept below 100.
Under this situation, within three days, not only would players reach level 30 and become reinforcements, but the number of unknown creatures would also gradually decrease.
At present, this mission did not seem to have too many obstacles.
The first day passed peacefully. The number of unknown creatures was well controlled, and the players were also enthusiastic because of the immense experience gained from killing them.
This caused players who were initially reluctant to participate in the mission to eagerly join.
It was a close call, but the number of unknown creatures was never cleared.
On the third day, Zhang Pingfan frowned, as the number of unknown creatures remained at a certain level.
If they were not all cleared by 12 o'clock tonight, the mission would fail.
Although more players joined during these three days, and players became more skilled in dealing with unknown creatures, they still couldn't completely clear their numbers.
"What should we do? If we can't clear them, we can't complete the mission!"
Zhang Pingfan paced around the small courtyard anxiously.
"Master, don't worry. There might be other ways!"
"Village Chief, we've done our best, but we truly cannot completely clear the unknown creatures!"
The presidents of the three major guilds were also in the small courtyard.
Zhang Pingfan rubbed his temples.
There were only about thirty-something left, yet they couldn't be wiped out.
Even if they killed all thirty-odd unknown creatures at once, they would still respawn.
"Currently, we can't break their respawn cycle. No matter how fast we are, we can't completely eliminate them."
Zhang Pingfan nodded. The main issue was the speed.
Or perhaps, they needed to find its mother body.
Zhang Pingfan said, "The number of unknown creatures is not large now, and we have an excess of players. You dispatch guild members to search around Pingfan City for the mother bodies of these unknown creatures. If you find them, gather everyone's strength to kill it. Remember, their camouflage ability is very strong, and ordinary people will have difficulty finding them, so be thorough!"
"Understood. We'll instruct the guild members to start searching. So that's why they keep respawning, because there's a mother body!"
Dou Youyou also started her actions.
However, Dou Youyou went alone.
Others, more or less, needed helpers, but Dou Youyou, under the current circumstances, was sufficient on her own.
Pingfan City was already very large, and it took a considerable amount of time to build it, so there was a vast area surrounding it as well.
Finding the mother body was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Zhang Pingfan was worried.
He directly picked up Ri Tian.
"Don't you dare laze around here. If I don't have a good time, neither will you. They say dogs have a great sense of smell, hurry up and search! If you don't find it, don't come back!"
After speaking, he directly threw Ri Tian out.
Zhang Pingfan had tried every possible method, even sending out his own dog.
Ri Tian stood outside the door, utterly bewildered.
"Woof!!!"
I was kicked out of the house for no reason. Although I'm not human, you are truly a dog.
Ri Tian touched his sore backside with his paw.
Unpleasantly, he started walking out of Pingfan City.
In fact, before Ri Tian left the small courtyard, he already knew where the mother body was.
However, as Willow God had not spoken, he dared not move and pretended nothing had happened.
But this time, his master told him to go look, and Willow God could not stop him.
Ri Tian walked with a swagger, as if no one could stop him, heading towards the mother body's location.
"Hey, isn't that the village chief's dog? Why is he out here?"
"The village chief probably sent him to find the mother body. I heard the village chief is really anxious right now!"
"That's right. Even our guild leader has issued a strict order that the mother body must be found before today, otherwise the mission will fail, and the losses will be immense!"
"Yes, three days of effort can't be wasted just like that!"
"I heard that dogs have a very keen sense of smell. Why don't we follow the dog?"
"That's right, maybe this dog can really find it!"
Seeing people following, Ri Tian also put on a show of sniffing.
After meandering, Ri Tian led a group of players to a stream.
Ri Tian had actually known that the mother body was hidden in the water all along, but he hadn't walked towards it.
At this moment, Ri Tian barked desperately into the water!
"Woof woof woof!!!"
Everyone's expressions immediately tensed up. Could the mother body of the unknown creatures be in here?
"Dog, are you sure? There's nothing in this water!"
Someone actually doubted me? Who am I, Ri Tian? These little weaklings dare to doubt my abilities.
It's time to show my power!
Ri Tian didn't hesitate and jumped directly into the water.
The water churned.
Immediately, huge waves splashed up.
Soon, a creature resembling a giant octopus appeared on the surface of the water.
"Damn it, it really is! Brothers, attack!"
"I agree with our guild leader, this thing is so tough, it's unhittable!"
"Big Sis, the mother body has been found, the coordinates are here, come quickly!"
"Guild Leader, hurry to the coordinates!"
Instantly, numerous players rushed to the mother body's location, while Ri Tian stood aside, quietly watching them.
As more and more players gathered, and Dou Youyou arrived.
The mother body finally began to lose health!
"Master, the mother body has been found, it's in a small river, and it's said that Ri Tian found it!"
Hearing this news, Zhang Pingfan's furrowed brow finally relaxed.
"I should have sent this lecherous dog out on the first day. We wasted several days for nothing!"
"Master, Ri Tian is very capable, don't always bully him!"
"I overlooked this. I'll find a female dog for it later, so it can have some fun!"
Dou Youyou's face immediately turned red!
"Master, how can you say that!"
"Uh, what did I say? I'm just finding it a female dog, why are you so anxious!"
"Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore."
Zhang Pingfan looked perplexed, but since the mother body was found, the rest was just a matter of killing it and completing the mission.
