The Pirate Invasion event requires the use of a Pirate Map to summon.
Of course, there are some prerequisites, such as needing over 200 health, defeating the Wall of Flesh, and smashing at least one altar.
After smashing the altar, Yang Tao flew without stopping over the ocean.
It has a 1/100 (1%) chance to be dropped by most enemies killed in the surface ocean biome.
The chance is very low, but Yang Tao isn't worried about the low chance; as long as there's a chance, it's a good thing.
The clean beach had sparse palm trees, with ripe coconuts hanging from them.
The refreshing sea breeze brushed against Yang Tao's cheek, and some seagulls flew in the sky, making crisp calls.
The sea was very calm, with only a few waves washing over the beach.
"Terraria's scenery is really good, much better than Minecraft's," Yang Tao sighed, taking out a Water Candle from his backpack and placing it nearby. This item was a decoration he brought from the dungeon.
Its purpose is to increase the surrounding monster spawn rate.
But that wasn't all; Yang Tao then took out a bottle of Battle Potion and used it directly. This item also increases the monster spawn rate.
With both methods, the number of monsters in the ocean clearly increased by several levels.
Sharks, crabs, jellyfish, and even rare Sea Snails appeared in groups of two or three.
Seeing this, Yang Tao took out his Red Matter Katar and directly launched an area attack. After a hum, including the shark with 900 health, all monsters' health was cleared.
"This is bad... there's no turning back."
Yang Tao looked at the Red Matter Katar in his hand. He was now like a gamer who had activated Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, unable to go back after tasting this invincible power.
The monsters that had just died were quickly replaced by newly spawned ones, and the water quickly gathered another large group.
"The Red Matter Katar's efficiency seems to be much higher than the True Last Sword's, especially for farming monsters that rely on numbers. After I deal with the Pirate Invasion, I'll equip the Villagers with Red Matter Fist Swords."
So be it, Wind Spirit Moon Shadow!
When it's time to pretend to be weak and then show off, he'll just turn off Wind Spirit Moon Shadow first.
With a 1% drop rate for the Pirate Map, and so many monsters and super-high looting, one wave of monsters dropped three Pirate Maps.
Yang Tao entered the seawater, and the monsters in the water suddenly accelerated, rushing towards him as if smelling blood. Even the sluggish jellyfish seemed to have V8 engines installed.
Buzz.
Monsters fell in swaths, and massive amounts of drops flew into his backpack. Yang Tao didn't even check them, directly stuffing them into the Transmutation Tablet, only taking out one Pirate Map and silently wishing to use it.
'Pirates are invading from the east!'
'The pirates are here!'
Before the monsters in the sea could surround him, Yang Tao surfaced. With a bang, a bullet hit him on the forehead.
The bullet caused no damage.
"Good shot!"
Yang Tao couldn't help but praise. The one who fired was a Pirate Captain, holding an old rifle.
Perhaps seeing that the rifle bullet had no effect, he directly grabbed a cannon from behind on the pirate ship and aimed it at him.
Seeing this, Yang Tao couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect you to be a sniper too!"
The cannon's barrel was thicker than the Pirate Captain's head. After a short waiting period, a black cannonball flew out of the barrel.
Yang Tao's figure vanished from his spot and landed on the beach. With a gentle wave of the Red Matter Katar glowing red in his hand, the skill activation sound rang out. Of the pirates rushing towards him from a distance, only some nearby Pirate Snipers and parrots died; the rest continued to charge at him.
"This is truly abnormal. Any random minion has over a thousand health, and you, this guy, even have 9000, which surpasses many pre-Wall of Flesh bosses."
He knew that the King Slime only had a little over 3000 health.
Buzz buzz...
The Red Matter Katar's skill activation sounds merged into one continuous roar. This time, all hostile monsters fell to the ground, and even the Pirate Captain couldn't withstand such a frequency of attacks.
Many drops covered the ground, the most eye-catching being the golden furniture Yang Tao had been longing for, among which the Golden Toilet was particularly attention-grabbing.
"I'll send it to the Emperor when I have time; he'll definitely like it!"
If the Emperor knew Yang Tao's thoughts, he would definitely make Yang Tao experience how comfortable the Golden Throne was.
Golden Bathtub, Golden Bed, Golden Dresser, Golden Clock, Golden Table, Golden Chair...
Everything was available.
Just as Yang Tao was checking the drops, a pirate ship flying in the air swooped down, and at the same time, the cannons on the ship fired shells.
Flying Dutchman
Health 24150 / 24150
"Good luck!"
This pirate ship doesn't appear every Pirate Invasion, but if it appears once, then defeating this pirate airship has a high chance of spawning another one.
As long as the Pirate Invasion event doesn't end, he can farm many pirate airships at once.
Yang Tao didn't bother with the drops on the ground and quickly flew up. The True Last Sword in his hand quickly slashed across the cannons on the Flying Dutchman.
These cannons have independent health, each with 6000 points. Four cannons must be destroyed before damage can be dealt to the main body, which has 150 health.
Yang Tao's figure flashed, and the health of the four cannons was cleared, leaving only a pirate airship body with no attack power.
"You're stronger than the Moon Lord... You can actually withstand five attacks from the Last Sword."
The Moon Lord also has health-locking ability, but counting it, he can only withstand four hits.
After clearing the Flying Dutchman's health, the entire airship shattered into pieces of wood falling from the sky, interspersed with many drops.
The moment it died, a new pirate ship appeared in the sky. Seeing this, Yang Tao smiled brightly and then murmured, "It looks like I can farm to my heart's content today!"
Ship after ship of 'laden' pirates continuously appeared and then disintegrated in the air. Countless drops fell from the sky, and Yang Tao felt incredibly exhilarated.
This feeling of killing monsters and getting drops is truly addictive.
'If the next world is also a world where you kill monsters and get treasures, that would be great...'
Time passed, and this Pirate Invasion in reality seemed not to be calculated by quantity.
An hour later, the endless stream of pirates disappeared.
"Is that it?"
Yang Tao, flying in the sky, looked at the drops on the ground, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
The entire beach, and even the forest outside the beach, was covered in drops. Descending from the sky, Yang Tao picked up all the items and stuffed them into the Transmutation Tablet, leaving only a few more important ones.
"It seems farming events earns more than farming dungeons..."
After taking out the Magic Mirror and returning home, he summoned a pirate ship for single occupancy.
Its style was like a coin-operated ride outside a supermarket, only it was in the shape of a pirate ship.
'First, I need to go underground and find the Goblin Tinkerer... Without a Tinkerer's Workshop, it really won't work.'
