[Infrastructure + Fourth Natural Disaster]
There is an old saying in Dongshan Village: Don't go out at night!
As night falls, gray mist envelops the land.
Demons run rampant, ...
Although it was dark at this time, it was not completely pitch black.
A large group of black monsters came from the north, some flying in the sky, some running on the ground, and only some swimming in the water were missing.
Players who were fighting monsters, leveling up, collecting elixirs, and exploring ruins outside the Ten Thousand Mountains were in trouble. They were sent back to the land temple one after another and waited for four hours to resurrect.
"What's going on?"
"I was chasing a level 10 mutant boar, how come it was killed instantly?"
"It's so unfair! I finally climbed up the cliff with a rope and was about to pick those medicinal herbs when an eagle flew over and pecked me to death!"
"Brother, how did you die?"
"It's not as miserable as you guys. I actually ran out of spiritual energy while chasing the monster, and ended up being killed by the monster."
"You are all fine. I was stung to death by a swarm of demonic bees and died of poisoning."
"How come so many monsters suddenly appeared? The Shiwan Mountains were never this terrifying before."
"I don't know what's going on, but it feels like a monster is attacking the city!"
"If I had known this day would come, I would have built the market right at the monster's doorstep. Furthermore, we've been killing monsters and collecting elixirs. Anyone would be angry, let alone monsters and demons."
The players who were sent back to the birth point shared their death experiences with each other, and everyone tried to find joy in the midst of suffering.
But there were even more unlucky people who didn't care about their experience points. They started cursing in anger.
"The low-grade magical weapon I saved so hard to buy fell apart!"
"Brother, where did you die? I'm waiting to help you avenge you, not because I'm interested in your magic weapon."
"After working so hard for half a year, I'm back to where I was before liberation. I dug up over twenty spiritual herbs, and half of them were gone. Where did this monster come from?"
"It seems like the number of victims is increasing. What's going on?"
"It felt like a monster attacking the city, with no preparation at all."
"We should be able to stop them from the Huanyu Market, right? Our land god is so powerful."
"I hope he can hold on, otherwise we'll be in trouble. In his current spirit state, he can't go out to help or earn experience points."
"What a loss!!!! If I could be resurrected now, I could definitely make up for the lost experience points by helping to defend the market later."
"I suddenly had an idea. I hope these monsters can hold out a little longer. I also hope the sacrificial spirits aren't too powerful. They can hold out a little longer and give us a chance."
The number of players in the land temple is increasing. They have never seen such a spectacular scene at the resurrection point and have no idea how many people there are.
After hearing Lin Xiang's sudden voice transmission, the players in other places immediately understood the urgency of the situation.
Anyone who could get away directly would flee without stopping.
Some people even performed a show that made them get offline immediately!
His game character fell down on the spot without any hesitation.
…
"Master Ji Ling, are there any monsters?" Bingxuepiaopiao was extremely nervous. She drew out her black snake sword and looked at the large dark mass in the distance with great caution.
Lin Xiang flew in the air, gave a warning to the players and villagers, and then quickly flashed to the outer area of Shiwan Mountains. He wanted to see who was so bold as to come directly to his door.
He has always felt that the Huanyu Market should be wary of the cultivation forces of Da Gan and Da Zhou.
Although there are many demons and monsters in the Ten Thousand Mountains, they have never launched a large-scale attack. They only rushed over with the help of the gray fog.
The monsters in the gray fog all lost their minds.
They are in a state of complete destruction and anger, but strangely enough they don't fight among themselves.
Usually, these monsters have their own sense of territory.
Once other monsters cross the border, it will be regarded as a provocation, and a war will inevitably break out to protect their own territory.
Perhaps because of the influence of the gray fog, many monsters with fixed territories were inexplicably affected and left their locations, allowing monks and players to explore the Ten Thousand Mountains with confidence.
From this point of view alone, the gray fog can be said to be a fatal blow to the demon cultivators.
It is easy for monks to go astray when practicing in the gray fog. Most formations can block the invasion of gray fog, such as caves, markets, and sect formations.
If they have been exposed to the gray fog, the monks can only absorb spiritual stones or swallow spiritual pills to restore their spiritual power.
The monsters don't have so many tricks. Once they are invaded by the gray fog, they will become running dogs.
Demon cultivators basically all come from demon beasts. Once the number of demon beasts decreases, there will definitely be only a few who can open their spiritual intelligence and become outstanding demon cultivators.
Originally, Lin Xiang had always thought that the demon tribe was recuperating and looking for a way to break the deadlock.
However, during the battle for the true disciple of Qingwei Sword Sect, he found out that the demon cultivators in various regions had been dishonest and even wanted to return to Southern Continent to seize the territory of the human race.
If we don't defeat the opponent this time, we may be harassed continuously.
Lin Xiang waved his arm gently and shouted, "Stop!"
As soon as he said this, the monsters that were originally flying out of the Ten Thousand Mountains all fell down and crashed to the ground.
The tigers, leopards, jackals, and other monsters on the ground that could easily cross mountains and hills were also unable to move forward, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
Several players who had just emerged from the Star Iron Mine stood in the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation and did not go out. They looked up and saw dense monsters falling from the sky and landing directly in the formation!
"I've never seen such a corpse even when I sprayed a beehive with insecticide." Wan Xu said in surprise. He turned on the video function and carefully moved to the side of the monster.
As a result, these monsters were not dead, they were just unable to move.
Another mining player swung the magic-grade pickaxe he had received and killed the ferocious-looking snake falcon in front of him.
The others followed suit.
They all knew that many players were sent back to the resurrection point of the Earth Temple by monsters.
The two sides fighting each other is a foregone conclusion and there is no possibility of easing up.
Instead of standing aside and watching, it is better to kill the monsters. You may get some experience points as well as animal skins, monster meat and raw materials.
Even if the Wanli Changsha formation is destroyed at that time, he and others will not suffer any loss.
"What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and do it!"
"You don't even know how to pick up the pie that falls from the sky."
A fearful player named "Yan Wang Bu Zuo" not only did not move forward, but took two steps back.
He muttered, "Go ahead. If the formation breaks, you'll definitely be killed by the monsters. I don't want to make enemies with them."
The female player named "Deep in the Bamboo Forest" moved swiftly, killing a golden-haired roar with a single blow of her sword. "Do you think the monsters will let you go if you don't kill them? Don't be naive!"
"That's right. If Master Ji Ling loses, if the formation is broken, we will all die."
"It's a death sentence anyway, so I might as well level up first."
"Stop trying to persuade me, stop trying. Even though there are more monsters right now, one less person is just enough to give us some experience points. Don't post on the forums saying we're ostracizing you or stealing your monsters."
The players who came to mine were actually not very familiar with each other, and they were just giving a few words of advice based on their shared identity.
Their fate depends entirely on Lin Xiang.
…
"Who are you? Why are you stopping us?"
A voice was heard, and then the pile of monsters in the distance separated to the left and right, and a tiger-headed man riding on a demonic wind stopped a little further away.
This is the result of incomplete transformation, and a large part of the body retains the original racial characteristics.
The tiger-headed monster was yelling in a muffled voice, holding a thick-backed machete on its huge tiger claws.
If it wasn't for Lin Xiang's words that stopped the army of monsters, it wouldn't be so easy to talk to and would have rushed up and chopped them down with a knife.
Lin Xiang bowed, deciding to use courtesy before force. "I am the host of the Dongshan Village and Huanyu Market. This area is under my protection. Please don't kill here, Tiger King, or I will retaliate."
As he spoke, he used his identification skills on the tiger-headed monster, wanting to see where it came from.
[Tiger Vanguard: lv. 56, Vanguard of the Hundred Thousand Mountains Demon King Palace, specializes in close combat and sonic attacks.]
Wow, the first one to come is a BOSS over level 50!
Level 50 or more corresponds to the well-known demon tribe in the world of cultivation. Demon tribes of this level come with a group of monsters, and few human cities can withstand it.
In the Huanyu Market, the highest-ranking disciple is the Moon Shadow Palace's resident disciple, who is only in the late Foundation Establishment stage, not even in the Golden Core stage, let alone the Nascent Soul and the God Transformation stage.
After all, in their opinion, the location of the Universal Market is very remote, it is not a large-scale enterprise, and there are no good resources, so why waste manpower.
But for the Shiwandashan Mountains, this is their doorstep.
No one wants to have a bunch of enemies suddenly appear at their doorstep to compete with them for resources. Instead of sending subordinates to fight them bit by bit, it is better to send a master to destroy them directly.
Tiger Vanguard was somewhat puzzled by Lin Xiang's tactics. His divine sense scanned over, but he was completely unable to gauge the other party's strength. He roared, "How dare the sacrificial spirit of a mere village act so presumptuously in front of this Vanguard? Tell me the truth. What's wrong with this market town of yours? Who gave you the permission to build it?"
"Also, what kind of magic did you, the sacrificial spirit, cast to bring down all the flying demonic birds? I advise you to surrender immediately, or I will demolish your village and market!"
"I really didn't know that building a market town requires the approval of the demon tribe. Where did you get the power?" Lin Xiang laughed dumbly. He wanted to get some information from Tiger Vanguard, so he didn't take action directly, but instead engaged in a verbal battle.
"Being stronger than you is power. The Hundred Thousand Mountains have always been our demonic territory. If humans dare to build a cultivation market nearby, don't blame us for destroying it. And after destroying your market, we will make all nearby humans pay the price. No one has dared to cultivate here for hundreds of years, you are so brave."
Tiger Vanguard was too lazy to talk any more. He always believed in seeing the real thing with his own hands. The black evil wind under his body was spinning faster and faster, and it looked like it was about to rush over.
But this guy was very cunning. He pretended to be ready for close combat, but suddenly he opened his bloody mouth and let out a deafening tiger roar towards Lin Xiang!
The roar of a tiger is an effective way to intimidate prey when hunting. It can make many prey become frightened and lose their ability to resist.
Tiger Vanguard's skills had always been effective against other of its kind, but they were of no use this time.
The sound waves went straight forward, but were easily controlled by Lin Xiang, who then helped redirect them towards the monsters underground.
For a moment, the deafening roar of a tiger rang in the ears of the low-level monsters.
One monster after another suddenly started bleeding from all seven orifices and died instantly!
