The Evil Moon shone brightly, and ash-like willow catkins fluttered down from the sky like snowflakes, corroding the earth.
Countless Evil Life gathered into a tide of destruction, ravaging the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.
North of the Ancient Battlefield, the Earth Split Furnace Region.
Qi Sheng’s gaze swept over the land from high above, seeing a large number of players gathering here, engaging in a desperate battle with the oncoming Black Tide Demonic Spirits, with a continuous supply of players reinforcing the front lines’ dwindling strength.
hours ago, a team of players discovered something strange while exploring the Earth Split Furnace Region.
The rampaging Evil Spirits were organized in excavating underground Spirit Stones and transporting them en masse to the north.
Players were unclear about the purpose of the Evil Spirits, but they were very interested in robbing the Evil Spirits’ transported Spiritual Ore.
After the fierce battle, this small team of players seized a batch of Spiritual Ore transported by the Evil Spirits, and the spoils were quite substantial after sacrifice statistics.
This news, posted on the forum by players, attracted the attention of various guilds, who organized people to join the plundering action.
Today, an even larger joint operation of plundering launched by the major guilds took place.
During this time, Qi Sheng’s consciousness followed the Evil Spirit teams transporting the Spiritual Ore and discovered that the ultimate destination of this batch of Spiritual Ore was the Tower where the Earth Thought Evil Spirit resided.
The transported Spiritual Ore was thrown into the furnace at the center of the Tower and smelted, transforming into the energy needed for the growth of the Black Tide.
But there was a question that puzzled Qi Sheng here.
Given that the Black Tide possessed the trait of devouring all energy, why go through the time and effort of transporting to obtain the energy from within the Spirit Stones, when it could simply devour the Spiritual Ore on the spot and fuse the internal energy into the Black Tide.
Guidance provided an answer to this question, stating that during the Low Tide state, the Black Tide’s efficiency of devouring and transforming was not high. For stable substances such as Spirit Stone, the loss incurred in the transformation process was very high after being devoured, but sending it to be smelted at the Evil Eye Tower could maximize the transformation efficiency.
This was also the purpose of the existence of the Evil Eye Tower.
And the powerful Black Tide did not need any auxiliary tools; it itself was the most powerful energy devouring converter.
Knowing the reason, Qi Sheng began to pay attention to the players’ actions in robbing the Spiritual Ore.
After 25 hours of continuous plundering, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit had already noticed the players’ actions, controling even more Black Tide Power to escort the Spiritual Ore.
The difficulty of robbing the Spiritual Ore consequently surged, and this was also the reason why the major guilds chose to join forces.
One could see the ground at the foot of the volcano pockmarked with dozens of pits of varying sizes, all recently excavated by the Evil Life, aiming for the Spiritual Ore Resources underground.
Whenever the Evil Life transported out a batch of Spirit Stones from the pits, players would push forward in that direction, trying to plunder some Spiritual Ore.
With more and more black fog gathering, the pressure on the Player Corps increased dramatically, and the death toll kept rising.
During this period, the regional voice channel was extremely lively:
"Brothers, I can’t hold on any longer, I’m going to sulk alone in the little black room for an hour, see you when I’m out of sulking."
"Can any friend nearby send me a Healing Potion? I can fight again, and I’m so close to leveling up. It’s uncomfortable not to level up."
"The Clone Fireball stream is truly fierce, but aside from the high consumption issue that needs continuous potion drinking to replenish spiritual power, it’s definitely the strongest faction for team battles in this version; I was so thrilled. If it wasn’t for you frontliners collapsing, I would completely have the ability to fight on—it’s all your fault for holding me back."
"It’s about to end, our guild robbed a lot of Spirit Ore, just waiting for sulking to end and share the loot, heh heh."
"Brothers nearby back off, before I die I want to pull a self-destruct and kill a batch of Evil Spirits."
Just as this round of plundering was about to die down and Qi Sheng was preparing to shift his gaze to another player’s perspective, an unexpected change occurred.
Suddenly, a huge black vortex appeared in the sky, with countless fine black cracks emerging at its edges, and the churning clouds were instantly shattered by an invisible force, warping the nearby space.
Countless dark golden humanoid shadows rained down from the spatial vortex.
Qi Sheng zoomed in his gaze and found that these dark gold figures were all mechanical life forms.
The moment they landed, the Mechanical Soldiers began to sweep the nearby area ruthlessly, with players also being their attack targets.
These Mechanical Soldiers wielded both close-combat Beam Swords and long-range Energy Cannons. Their arms could be reconfigured to swap into different weapon forms. Against these groups of mechanical beings, neither the players nor the Evil Life had any chance of winning.
The sudden appearance of Mechanical Soldiers caused the already crumbling Player Corps to lose all their Resistance capabilities.
Meanwhile, within the regional voice channel, there was non-stop cursing, where players used elegant linguistic art to express their dissatisfaction with the Mechanical Soldiers, and some questioned the identity of this sudden arrival of Mechanical Soldiers.
The fight lasted less than a minute, and the originally chaotic scene was swept clean, all players and Evil Spirits vanished.
This spectacle obviously frightened the Earth Thought Evil Spirit that was controlling the direction of the Black Tide from behind the scenes, with the distant black fog no longer approaching, instead, beginning to retreat.
And the sudden arrival of Mechanical Soldiers also sparked Qi Sheng’s curiosity.
Information immediately flooded Qi Sheng’s mind.
