Xiao Tangqiu was shocked. He didn't dare to believe Su Manluo's words, but he had seen everything with his own eyes. "When did this...invasion begin?"
Could it be that just when they were clearing a dungeon, demons suddenly invaded?
Su Manluo sighed, "It started half a year ago. They disguised themselves as players and quietly replaced many players, even a few well-known strong ones. They ambushed the strong teams in each district... Even our Thorn Team was replaced. Now those demons have controlled the entire Abyss City. There is no safe place here anymore!"
She couldn't help but tear up: "Our home... is gone!"
As Su Manluo patiently explained everything, explosions and screams could be heard from a distance, leaving Xiao Tangqiu feeling dazed. Although he had been in this world for a year and a half, he had only spent a few dozen days in Abyss City. Despite this, Abyss City had once been the only peace in this chaotic world for him.
Now the entire Abyss City was falling apart and completely destroyed by the invasion of demons. Even he, who had just arrived, could not help but feel a sense of sadness at the broken mountains and rivers and the precarious situation.
He couldn't help but look at Shen Yuan. Even he, who had only been here for more than a year and had just gotten out of the novice stage, had such feelings, let alone Shen Yuan, who had been here for almost ten years?
Shen Yuan looked at the Abyss City not far away with a calm expression. After noticing Xiao Tangqiu's gaze, he turned around and said softly, "It doesn't matter... As long as you are here, anywhere is home."
Xiao Tangqiu's heart skipped a beat, but he saw Shen Yuan's dark eyes, which didn't seem like he was lying. He couldn't help but turn his head away: "What are you talking about at this time!"
He sighed: "...The City of Abyss is gone, what should we do next?" Are they really forced to keep wandering around in the dungeon, without any chance to stop and rest, just like a bird without feet, drifting in the sky all their lives, and only landing when they die?
Everyone also looked hesitant and indecisive. After all, for them, the City of Abyss was their peaceful home where they could temporarily get a respite and rest after ending the game of death and killing. It was the only pure land in this cruel world. Now they had lost even the last piece of pure land. Were they destined to have only endless wandering and drifting for the rest of their lives? Were they to tirelessly escape from the killing... until the end of their lives?
Everyone looked confused. They were originally drifting in the raging sea holding onto a piece of wood, and had to constantly fight against the storm. Now they even lost that only piece of wood. What should they do next?
At this moment, Shen Yuan suddenly said: "Maybe... it's time for us to end this."
Everyone was shocked at the same time. They looked at Shen Yuan in disbelief. Even Su Manluo was shocked. She couldn't wait to ask, "End this? What do you mean?"
Shen Yuan was silent for a moment before speaking again, "During one of my previous main quests, I stumbled upon the Book of Light, the legendary counterpart to the Book of Demons. It contained the fatal weakness of the Abyss Demon... but then I encountered the Abyss Demon in that dungeon, was defeated by it, and then lost my memory."
