Those animals and monsters looked at the players with eyes full of hatred and aggression, ready to strike.
They all became factors driving the players into an offensive stance.
The players were here to take refuge, and many players had come carrying a large amount of supplies.
If they were sneak attacked by those animals and monsters, then what refuge was there to take?
So in order to protect their own interests, the players naturally drew their weapons.
At this moment, although war had not yet ignited in all parts of the Nether, the smell of gunpowder was already so strong it seemed it could ignite the air.
The Dread Lord closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then let it out slowly.
"This is the smell of war breaking out…"
The Dread Lord and the Wither King governed the Nether, so they naturally could sense the movements in the Nether.
From all over, fear and anger were spreading.
Seeing this, the Ender Queen at the side was stroking the large obsidian sword in her hand that had been modified by Xu Yuan, and asked, "What should we do next? Use force to suppress them?"
Beside her, Null also seemed somewhat impatient and said,"You old bag of bones, don't keep dawdling, if you called us here to help, how exactly are we supposed to help? Just say it."
The Death Knight's expression also looked a bit puzzled. After Entity 303 said he had other things to do and left, the Dread Lord gathered everyone on the Shallow Beach, except the Execution Dragon, down to the Nether, saying they were here to help.
But he didn't say specifically how to help, so everyone was also a bit bewildered.
Seeing everyone was somewhat confused, the Dread Lord was silent for a moment, then said, "Uh…"
"I will tell you the specific locations where problems need to be solved…"
"As for everything else… You can handle it yourselves, just don't cause too many deaths…"
The Dread Lord really didn't know how to solve the hard problem Entity 303 had thrown at him. He naturally also knew very well this matter was no small thing.
Although the Dread Lord didn't care too much about the players' lives, it was obvious that Xu Yuan seemed to care.
If it was according to the Dread Lord's former personality, it really would have been just like he had joked with Entity 303, if everyone died, everything would be peaceful.
But now it clearly couldn't be handled that way, if it was, all of Xu Yuan's prior arrangements and Pengpeng's persistent efforts would basically be wasted.
This matter was the kind where, if you did it well, it might not bring any credit, but if you messed it up, you'd definitely be blamed.
The Dread Lord, such an old slippery fellow, in the past would absolutely never have accepted Entity 303's task.
Although Entity 303 said all sorts of dignified-sounding reasons about how the Nether was the Dread Lord and the Wither King's territory, blah blah blah, if the Dread Lord wanted to refuse, he could have had ten thousand reasons to refuse.
After all, if the Dread Lord had used his wits, Entity 303, this honest guy, definitely couldn't have coped.
But the Dread Lord did not choose to do so.
Actually, it was also because the Dread Lord's mindset had gradually changed.
The Dread Lord originally followed Xu Yuan, to put it bluntly, just because Xu Yuan could help him escape the control of the Void.
And he knew the Void was wary of Xu Yuan. After spending a long time with Xu Yuan, the Dread Lord also sincerely came to respect Xu Yuan.
He also slowly began wanting to help Xu Yuan do something. But before, he hadn't found a chance. After all, before Xu Yuan disappeared, everything was done personally by him.
The tasks given to the them were basically just sparring.
After Xu Yuan disappeared, soon came the Wither Storm incident.
The Dread Lord finally looked forward to the chance to do something. But in reality, it seemed he helped, and yet also seemed he didn't.
At that time, apart from passing his power to Null, the Dread Lord didn't do anything. He spent the whole time just watching.
If you said he didn't help, without his power, Null alone definitely couldn't have fooled the Wither Storm.
If you said he helped, he really hadn't done anything substantial.
Though afterwards Null also said his contribution was huge, that without him, Null couldn't have killed the Wither Storm so fast, the Dread Lord himself still felt empty inside.
This was also the reason why this time, even though he could have played tricks and refused Entity 303, he didn't do so.
Because he really did want to help do something.
But because this matter truly was too hard to handle, the Dread Lord called over everyone on the Shallow Beach, except the Execution Dragon, to help.
It wasn't that the Dread Lord wanted to pass the buck. He just felt that with more people, there would be more ideas.
Everyone thinking together would definitely be better than the Dread Lord and the Wither King alone racking their brains.
And the situation was urgent, so the Dread Lord couldn't take too long to think.
Everyone on the Shallow Beach actually felt the same as the Dread Lord. They didn't want to just sit idle. They all wanted to contribute their strength, so the moment the Dread Lord spoke up, everyone agreed.
But now, hearing the Dread Lord's words, everyone froze.
"???? Handle it ourselves? How are we supposed to handle it ourselves?…"
"I've never dealt with those players before, I can't guarantee what I'll do if I get angry…"
"You rotten bones are too unreliable, is this how you give instructions?"
Hearing everyone's complaints, the Dread Lord also let out a long sigh, then thought for a moment and said, "303 told me to maintain order in the Nether, to not let anyone fight…"
"I just lack experience in this area, so I asked all of you to come and figure it out together. All of you are famous and powerful figures, surely you know how to adapt to circumstances."
"Now friction is already breaking out everywhere, and time is tight. We don't have time to discuss any more…"
It had to be said, the Dread Lord understood the art of speaking, he lifted everyone up so high.
Once he said this, if anyone refused, wouldn't it be admitting they were incompetent?
After saying this, the Dread Lord thought for a moment and continued, "How about this, we each go settle one area first, then come back here to share our solutions. This should be acceptable, right?…"
Hearing the Dread Lord's words, everyone looked at each other. They were indeed put on the spot by his speech.
But none of them responded right away.
The Dragon Prophet saw this and couldn't help but smile helplessly and teased, "You old fox…"
"Alright, no matter how hard it is, can it be harder than dealing with the Void? All this time we've managed to handle everything, haven't we?"
"Right now we don't even know exactly what's going on. It's good to go take a look on the scene first, there will always be a way."
Seeing the Dragon Prophet help ease the atmosphere, the Dread Lord also looked grateful.
Hearing the Dragon Prophet's words, everyone also sighed and agreed.
"Alright then, let's go take a look."
"We'll act according to the situation…"
Seeing everyone agree, the Dread Lord also told them about the locations in the Nether where large-scale conflicts had already broken out.
It had to be said, the Dread Lord was still quite attentive. He also allocated coordinates to everyone based on their abilities and travel speed. And he had even thoughtfully prepared two Ghasts in advance.
One was for himself, since he couldn't fly, and the other was prepared for the Death Knight.
The others could all fly or teleport, after all, the Dread Lord couldn't possibly walk there on foot.
Also, the Dread Lord definitely wouldn't let the Wither King carry him, since he was going to appear before other factions, he still had to save some face.
Luckily, the Death Knight would be accompanying him.
Actually, the Dread Lord had originally planned to use a Wither as a mount. But unfortunately, the Death Knight's body was rather large, and a Wither probably couldn't bear the weight. Plus, the players had some hostility toward Withers, so he chose a Ghast.
After giving everyone their coordinates, they immediately set off toward their destinations.
The Death Knight was about to leave when the Dread Lord patted him to stop him.
Then he summoned the prepared Ghast and said, "Here, let it take you. It will be a bit faster."
Seeing the big, plump, white Ghast with its eyes closed and an expression that seemed to say "speechless," the Death Knight couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.
Although he knew the Dread Lord meant well and had thoughtfully considered him, right now he really didn't need this.
Thinking of this, the Death Knight hesitated for a moment, then still refused the Dread Lord. "Uh… no need…"
As he spoke, without waiting for the Dread Lord to say anything, he leaped nearly a hundred yards away.
Then, like the wind, he disappeared from the Dread Lord's sight.
The Dread Lord froze on the spot. "Huh...?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
The Death Knight hadn't been at the Shallow Beach for a long time. The Dread Lord had thought he was still the same as before.
He hadn't expected that the little wolf cub who used to be so weak had already grown into a wolf king-like existence.
His speed wasn't any slower than those who could fly or teleport.
The Death Knight departed with thunderous speed. In the howling wind, the Dread Lord seemed to hear Little Bug's voice.
"This useless thing, just leave it for yourself to use, old bones~"
Hearing Little Bug's voice and seeing that the Death Knight had already vanished, the Dread Lord finally realized, the clown was actually himself.
"When did that little wolf cub grow such skills?!"
Although it had just been a bit embarrassing, seeing the Death Knight's growth, the Dread Lord still felt very gratified.
Seeing those around you improve and grow, becoming more reliable, was undoubtedly something that made people feel gratified.
Thinking this, the Dread Lord's face also showed a smile like an old father.
