The eighth copy

No matter how furious Bran was, the village of Cassia was in the midst of a post-beast tide carnival.

As annoying as the ice beast is, its corpse is as useful.

Blood is one of the main ingredients of the coagulation potion, fur can be used to make armor, and there are also bones, meat, etc.

The players helped carry the ice beast's corpse to a special processing plant, while the leadership was investigating the damage to the protective shield.

A large hole that is easy for ice beasts to enter, obviously man-made.

Du Ming and others were taken away for investigation, but in the end the culprit was never found.

It seems that the matter will end in nothing.

Al and the others were prepared for the disunity among the people, but what they were most concerned about was the rules that suddenly appeared on the central street.

The fact that time is running out has been ingrained in everyone's mind.

Du Ming and others also gathered together to discuss things for a rare occasion.

Due to his outstanding performance, after the beast tide ended, Du Ming officially became a member of the patrol team and was also given the status of team leader.

On the surface, Lu Xing was a member assigned to his team, but in fact his true identity was a member of the Divine Legion.

He was sent here on purpose.

The two of them walked along the street, talking in low voices.

Lu Xing said, "Captain, because of the black mark on the street, the management is now struggling with whether to start the next wave of recruitment."

After the camp is promoted to a village, a new function will be enabled, which is to publish announcements.

It seems to be to recruit wanderers, but in fact it is to post an announcement in the game hall to recruit the next wave of players.

However, the camp had just been upgraded and had been involved in a wave of beast tides, so the overall construction environment was not actually the best.

If we recruit people at this time, we are afraid that chaos will occur.

"But because of what happened during the beast tide, some people have raised opposing views." Lu Xing told him everything that Qi Qiang had told him.

Du Ming thought about it and understood what Qi Qiang meant.

He said, "I heard that upgrading from a village to a town unlocks some protective buildings. Is that true?"

Although the question was a question, Lu Xing understood that it was inclined towards upgrading, and this guardian building was obviously very important.

The news was passed from his mouth to Qi Qiang, and then someone persuaded a lot of people, and finally a new round of recruitment began based on the principle of minority obeying the majority.

The game hall, which had been quiet for a while, was now boiling with excitement due to another announcement from the "Cassia Continent".

As soon as the registration time arrived, many people chose to sign up, and the 200,000 places disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hu Ying and others were watching nervously, but they didn't expect that when the registration ended, the situation would be shocking.

Not many people from some of the hostile families they were following managed to enter the dungeon.

Hu Ying didn't believe it, so he sent people to investigate. The result he got almost made him laugh out loud.

It turns out that a group of players who entered first spread the news that the missions in this dungeon are simple and easy to get started, but the game points given are much more than those of ordinary dungeons, and it is highly recommended to enter!

Therefore, many people were very excited and signed up as soon as possible.

The unexpected outcome of the registration was delightful, and the 'Cassia Continent' was indeed as simple and easy to use as introduced.

Most of the ordinary players stayed, and the group of people who were persuaded to go back by the Brave Legion also took this opportunity to hide in the crowd and come back.

Things seem to be getting better little by little.

But Du Ming knew that this was only temporary.

After all, there is a traitor on Bran's side who delivers the message.

Sure enough, less than a day after the recruitment ended, Bran received the news.

Immediately furious.

"How could this happen!" Bran roared, and the pressure burst out in an instant. The subordinates around him were so scared that they dared not say a word.

The huge ice beast walked back and forth, kicking up a lot of dust with every step.

no!

Bran thought, he can't wait any longer!

It is said that your enemies know you better than your friends.

When a village is upgraded to a town, there will be new buildings. Al and others may not know this, but Bran knows it.

One of the buildings that was very restraining to Bran was 'Cassia's Blessing'.

It is actually a sculpture of Cassia, but once it is completed, it will have a blessing effect and can suppress ice beasts. As people like it more, the effect of the blessing will be better.

Things will be difficult then.

Bran thought about it all night and finally decided to launch an attack directly!

So sudden!

Du Ming was still participating in the discussion on the future construction of the village.

They had just received a message from Cassia saying that after the village was upgraded to a town, a building could be developed to suppress Bran.

Someone opened the door of the meeting hall breathlessly, "No... No, the ice... the ice beast is attacking the village."

"How could this happen?!" Many people stood up on the spot.

Some people even shouted directly: "This is impossible!" According to the rules, after the beast tide ends, the villages that have successfully upgraded will have a buffer period. During this period, the ice beasts need to recuperate and will not be able to attack at all.

Du Ming and others realized immediately that it was Bran who chose to take action.

Everyone ran to the village entrance in the dark and found that many ice beasts were rushing ahead and destroying the defense shield.

Al quickly began to organize people to resist.

It was so densely packed that it looked creepy. It was even impossible to count how many ice beasts there were because they had merged with the night. This made the situation look far more dangerous and terrifying than it actually was.

Some people backed off on the spot.

A large number of them are newly joined players. After all, the current dungeons are not like before. Many people die in the dungeons and are dead forever, and there is no possibility of resurrection.

A large number of players chose to quit the game, leaving a gap in the defense line. The remaining players had to fight against multiple ice beasts alone.

The situation is urgent.

Seeing this, Du Ming no longer hid his incompetence. After quickly helping himself and his teammates to eliminate the ice beast, he said to his teammates, "You go help others, I'll go look somewhere else."

The team members had no suspicion.

Du Ming ran towards Hu Ying.

When he arrived, Hu Ying had just dealt with the ice beast in front of him.

When he saw Du Ming, he waved to him.

"You're here." Hu Ying greeted him. "Our people have discovered a new rule on Central Street. We can confirm that Bran was behind it."

Hu Ying asked: "What should we do now?"

Du Ming answered without hesitation: "Divide the people into three groups. One group will help the NPCs eliminate the ice beasts, one group will deal with the larger ice beasts, and the rest will go look for Bran."

After the two of them discussed it, they took action.

Hu Ying immediately contacted the personnel, while Du Ming quickly selected the large ice beasts from the pile of ice beasts.

The largest one was in the northwest corner, five times the size of the other ice beasts. Du Ming saw it and ran over quickly.

This ice beast looked quite terrifying. Its long fangs could pierce through a person with just a single poke.

Du Ming attacked with a knife, and the vines simultaneously wrapped around the opponent's limbs.

This ice beast was obviously not so easy to deal with. The vines only wrapped around it for ten seconds before a stream of gas gushed out of its body, directly corroding the vines.

Du Ming had no choice but to jump into the air and jump onto the back of its head.

With him attracting the attention of the big ice beast, the pressure on the surrounding players was relieved and they also used props.

Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, the huge ice beast fell down.

Unlike the ice beasts around it, this big ice beast did not leave behind a corpse after its death. Instead, it turned into black mist and dissipated into the sky.

Obviously, this ice beast does not belong to the Cassia continent, but is from outside.

It’s a pity that this ice beast is not Bran. Du Ming glanced at the ice beasts around him that were still attacking the protective shield, and couldn’t help thinking with regret.

If only Casillas were here.

Perhaps he heard Du Ming's call, or perhaps he heard the voices of those who were truly looking forward to his arrival.

In the dim night, a bright light suddenly appeared, followed by a figure with huge horns on its head.

Cassia appeared for just a second before attacking somewhere.

Du Ming looked carefully and found that its position was in the middle of the group of ice beasts. He immediately realized that he was wrong.

Although Bran is stronger than other ice beasts, in order to attack the village, he forcibly used the rules to impact the buffer period to achieve his goal, and he will definitely suffer huge damage.

The most obvious manifestation of this damage now is in size.

Immediately, he rushed over.

There were many other people rushing over at the same time.

In the center of the ice beast group, Bran and Cassia had already started fighting.

The long-standing resentment made Bran choose to fight back the moment he saw the other party, "Cassia, you finally showed up!"

A huge energy wave spread out due to the impact.

One had just used rules to break the rules, while the other had not yet recovered from an old injury. In the first head-on attack, neither side gained any advantage.

But they did not choose to stop, but continued to attack in a way of exchanging injuries for injuries.

Du Ming tore apart one ice beast after another, and was about to reach Cassia, but was stopped by another ice beast.

Looking at its calculating eyes, it was obvious that this was not the indigenous ice beast that should be in the current dungeon.

Bran's subordinate.

Many players who came to support were also stopped, and Jiang Luoluo was probably the most angry among them.

It was because the person standing in his way was actually his partner who had been fighting side by side with him for some time.

"Wangbai, I didn't expect you to betray me."

Wangbai didn't care about the angry look of the man in front of him, and just retorted, "You are wrong. I have been on Lord Bran's side from the beginning." After saying this, he attacked Jiang Luoluo with his spear.

Jiang Luoluo didn't feel good about being deceived, but fortunately the rest of the team members arrived at this time.

For a moment, there were flashes of swords and sabers everywhere, or the flames of props exploding.

The fierce battle isolated the entire area, and all the ice beasts that were not Bran's subordinates were squeezed into the protective shield.

The pressure on everyone along the entire defense line suddenly doubled.

This intuitive reflection is reflected in Casillas' attack intensity.

He was not careful for a moment and was injured by Bran in the vitals, and the sharp horns on his head were cut off.

Bran showed a look of surprise when he saw this. Just as he was about to hit Cassia, he was suddenly blocked by someone who rushed out.

Bran narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man standing before him.

In just a moment, his eyes widened.

"You're still alive!"

Obviously, he recognized Du Ming's identity.

Du Ming said: "Yes, it's me."

The surprise lasted only a moment, and the next second Bran showed that sinister expression.

He said, "Do you think you can change anything by living?"

"joke!"

Du Ming did not underestimate the enemy: "Just try it and you'll know." As he said that, he and Cassia attacked Bran together.

Bran is worthy of being the demon king who came out of the rule copy. His strength is extremely strong and he is not at a disadvantage even when fighting one against two.

On the other hand, because Cassia's protective shield was hit, he had to use part of his own energy to replenish the protective shield in order to relieve the pressure on Al and the others.

In this back and forth, the decline was revealed.

Seeing this, Bran finally used his ultimate move.

A dark ball of energy came from the sky, connecting to a place that several people knew well. At this moment, a violent storm joined in, beating down on everyone coldly.

Many people looked at this scene which seemed like the end of the world and felt despair.

Are they...finished?

With a bang, the energy ball hit Cassia and others.

After an unknown amount of time, everything around him suddenly began to collapse, and Bran, who was in the center, smiled happily.

However, at this moment, a long knife suddenly appeared right above Bran's head and chopped down at his eyebrows.

Bran died with a smile on his face.

Everyone was shocked by this reversal.

But someone quickly reacted and cheered.

The waves of victory surged, eventually forming a sea of ​​joy.

Qi Qiang, Hu Ying...all those familiar faces had big smiles on their faces.

Du Ming stood in the center of the battlefield, hugging Cassia, who had just emerged from the Monopoly dungeon and was also covered in wounds. He pressed his forehead against Cassia's and said, "Cassia, we won."

Cassia moved the wound at the corner of his mouth and responded with a smile.

Yeah, they won.

*

After that battle, the entire game hall was closed for half a month, and Cassia and Du Ming stayed in the dungeon to deal with the traitors.

The Brave Legion and their allies returned to the real world to arrange a lot of follow-up matters.

Half a month later, the game hall reopened and the world ushered in a new era.
