The Double Drop Buff Surviving The Endless Ocean novel Chapter 229

For Leeanne, handling Tier 4 Gray Wolf was a breeze, but it was tough for other players. The stronger ones could fight a Tier 4 Gray Wolf one–on–one, but it would take more than half an hour, leaving them battered and covered in wounds before winning.

The weaker ones had no choice but to pair up to bring down a single wolf. But the gray wolves spawned according to the number of players; one player meant one wolf, two players meant two wolves. The players were utterly exhausted, filled with regret.

The Coral Island Treasure Map was issued to all players across the entire region. Those who hadn’t made it onto the island went crazy finding their way in, or pleaded with those already on the island to summon them.

Everyone had their eyes on the Blackstone Date, Swiftwing Fruit, and Sunheart Melon.

One player took down a Tier 4 Gray Wolf, but after taking a few steps forward, a newly spawned wolf locked onto him. forcing him into another round of fighting. Another player, after killing the gray wolf, quickly retreated and avoided being dragged into a second battle.

The smart ones didn’t stick around; they quickly ran off. Of course, those who went searching for the Swiftwing Fruits came back empty–handed. The players were groaning and complaining, both anxious and helpless.

Just then, another wave of summoned players arrived on the island, bringing the total number of players to over a hundred. Since no one could find what they were looking for, they couldn’t help but start chatting in the chat channel.

One player said: [I grabbed a Sunheart Melon vine, but I didn’t see a single fruit.]

Another chimed in: [Same here!]

Someone said: [Maybe Bailey has it. Her tree looks the most intact.]

Bailey replied: [We didn’t get any either!]

Liam had finally made it onto the island, but he was three hours late and still pissed off. He sneered and said: [None of you is telling the truth!]

Bailey went quiet. She knew Liam was like a mad dog, and messing with him was asking for trouble.

[I’m losing it here. Isn’t the Swiftwing Fruit supposed to be here? I’ve been searching for over two hours and haven’t seen a single sign of it.]

[This place has nothing but rocks. Where can we find the Swiftwing Fruit?]

[The path to find the Blackstone Date is just as bad. Gray wolves keep popping up, and many people have given up.]

[Sigh! It’s not easy to find treasures!]

[I noticed something. The Spangler family and Enrique’s clan are pretty smart. They didn’t bother looking for those three treasures at all. Instead, they’re grouping up to farm monsters.]

[That’s pretty odd…]

Of course, these two groups had caught onto Leeanne’s hint. Enrique was directing Vanessa, Felipe, and the others. Some of them lured the monsters, while others took them down.

Even Tier 5 beasts didn’t stand a chance. They were wiped out in no time, and treasure chests kept dropping left and right.

They worked in an orderly, methodical way and gained quite a lot this time.

Rodger, Danelle, Alina, Spike, and Ellery did the same. Besides them, a few players had accidentally figured out the pattern and started teaming up to farm monsters too.

Finally, someone spoke up. “What’s so strange about it? Haven’t you guys figured it out yet? If you take down groups of Tier 1 and Tier 5 monsters, there’s a chance they’ll drop treasure chests.

“And inside those chests, you might find Advanced Flipper or Advanced Diving Suit; each can boost your underwater speed by three points!

“All these are on the Coral Island Treasure Map, but they’re just too greedy, insisting on snatching up those few fruits!

“Honestly, those Swiftwing Fruits, Blackstone Dates, and Sunheart Melons are just too tempting, but I’m done searching. I’m teaming up to farm Tier 5 monsters instead. Who’s in?”

More and more people gave up searching for the three attribute–boosting spirit fruits and started teaming up to farm monsters instead. Leeanne was still frantically hunting for the Spirit Poria, her nerves stretched thin as time ticked by.

She had already pinged Rodger and the rest of the Assault Squad in the group chat, telling them to keep an eye out for the Spirit Poria, and she had also given Enrique a heads–up.

Enrique was busy directing his team farming monster when he saw Leeanne’s message. He paused, then turned to Vanessa. “Where’s Laura? I remember she grew up learning herbal medicine from her grandpa. She knows all kinds of herbs. Can she come and help?”

Vanessa replied, “She was injured while collecting herbs and is on crutches now. She wouldn’t be much help if she came.”

Enrique said, “Let her join us next round. She can help Leeanne look for the Spirit Poria.”

Felipe said, “But then someone needs to carry her, which means we’ll lose two fighters at one go.”

Enrique shot him a look. Vanessa kicked Felipe. “Are you dumb? Leeanne finally needs us, and if you don’t hurry up and suck up to her, you won’t even get a share of the loot!”

Enrique said, “Don’t forget, we’re only here because of Leeanne. We should show some gratitude. Let’s get Laura in for the next round.”

Felipe grinned, looking pleased. “Yeah, you always make it sound so good!”

Leeanne started widening her search, looking beyond her usual spots. She had combed through every corner near the Poisonous Miasma Forest, but still couldn’t find the Spirit Poria. Left with no choice, she pushed out toward the outskirts.

As she walked, she spotted a little white kitten, the one she had seen before. The kitten, seeing her rummaging around everywhere, asked, “Why aren’t you looking for treasure anymore?”

Leeanne’s eyes lit up. “Kitty, do you know where the Spirit Poria is?”

The kitten shot her a disdainful look. “How would I know?”

Leeanne let out a sigh. She continued searching, the kitten tagging along. After a bit, the kitten piped up, “Hey, do you like riddles?”

Leeanne replied, “No, I don’t.”

The kitten said, “Come on, play a riddle game with me?”

Lecanne asked, “Can you tell me where the Spirit Poria is?”

The kitten shrugged. “Honestly, I have no clue!”

Leeanne said, “I’m not guessing then!” She then turned and walked away, not in the mood to entertain the kitten at all.

The kitten followed behind her, chattering to itself, “How about this? I’ll give you a riddle. If you solve it, you win; if you don’t, I win. And if I win, you have to give me a Blue Phosphorus Shrimp.”

‘So that’s what this is about. It’s just after a snack, Leeanne thought. ‘Why does it love shrimp so much?” she wondered.
