Chapter 207
The difficulty of the Demon Feast far exceeded the predictions of fairnd players. Three days have passed, but no announcement of a team successfully clearing the dungeon has been seen on the world channel.
Even a senior executive at a future technology company revealed a reliable source:
After analyzing the game data, Future Tech is considering whether to extend the celebration period.
Immediately, discussions on forums and Weibo reached a fever pitch, with several topics trending on social media on the same day.
#Spirit Festival#
#DemonFeast#

......
Fairnd game system announcement:
We regret to inform you that your team failed to clear the 'Demon Feast' level. We hope all players will try again.
At this moment, the virtual world in front of the player shattered into countless fragments, symbolizing that this round of the level had failed again.
They then returned to the starting point of the Demon Feast.
"Ouch, I'm exhausted." Qingtian had already sat down on the ground in the game scene, rubbing his lower back.
"Seriously, is anyone actually able to beat this level?"
"The Evil Spirit King only started attacking for 10 minutes, and we're all dead," Qingtian complained from the side, then turned to ask the rest of the team.
"Is everyone so tired they have no energy left?"
"Why aren't you even saying anything?"
The rest of the people remained silent.
"Don't talk." Seeing that the atmosphere in the team was not right, Hong Yueling subconsciously covered Qingtian's mouth.
"You're such a chatterbox."
"Hmm..."
The atmosphere in the team was somber, and Zero, the youngest member, was fiddling with the silver spear in his right hand with his head down, his eyes showing a hint of dejection and a lack of spirit.
This is the fifth time we've failed.
Yuanye opened the game data from the previous game and looked at the damage output of each player. He was at a loss for what to do.
Despite having pushed the pace and firepower to their peak, they still couldn't defeat the Evil Spirit King for the time being.
"Everyone, take a short break. We'll try again later," Yuan Ye said, then opened his personal inventory to see if there were any materials or spiritual items that could improve his teammates' skills.
Meanwhile, Ying Ning, studying the map, asked in confusion, "Has the royal palace where the Demon Spirit Banquet is located always been in this location?"
"The royal palace seems to undergo some minor changes every year, mainly to give players a fresh gaming experience," Yuanye explained patiently.
"But almost every year it is surrounded by water on three sides, with the main gate being the Prison Bridge. Entering the Demon Spirit Banquet from the Prison Bridge to kill the Evil Spirit King is the basic game route."
"So, that thing happens every year?" Yingning reached out and gently pointed to the faint snake shadow beneath the dark river water.
The shadows flickered slightly, as if there was something beneath the river.
Upon hearing Yingning's words, Yuanye immediately noticed something amiss underwater.
"Is that thing a snake?" Qingtian broke free from Hongyueling's restraints and went to the riverbank to observe it.
The snake's shadow only appears when the river water ripples occasionally, and by following the shadow, one can almost see the foot of the mountain where the Demon Spirit Banquet is located.
"Zero, give it a try," Yuanye called out.
The silver spear was aimed at the snake-like shadow, and a graceful arc shot out from the muzzle, followed by the sound of metal colliding a few frames later.
The bullet sank to the bottom of the river and was never heard from again.
“It’s a steel chain.” Zero sheathed his gun and looked at the field.
"The boss of the Demon Feast - the Evil Spirit King - will activate his berserk summoning mode and summon twelve spirit-slaying guards when players appear at the banquet."
"Players can only approach the Evil Spirit King and launch an attack after passing the Spirit Extermination Guardian."
“But after each kill of the twelve guards, we lose more than half of our health. Although failnd has adjusted the difficulty of this tournament, they may not want most players to give up halfway through,” Yingning explained.
Yuan Ye listened to her words and seemed to be deep in thought.
She's right.
Although the team's equipment is not as good as that of guild teams, it is still considered top-tier among players.
Currently, we haven't heard any news about other teams clearing the dungeon, nor have we heard anything from those guilds.
"If I'm not mistaken, we might not have figured out the rules of the celebration yet." Yingning opened the instance's homepage, scrolled to the last line, and the clear, youthful voice once again reached the ears of the other four:
"Fellow players, the world of Fairnd holds infinite possibilities."
"Whether in reality or in the virtual world, strength is the best way to pass the level."
"I wish all players that even if the road ahead is long and fraught with malice, you will fight to the last breath of your lives."
"Only in this way can one stand at the top of this world."
