At the bottom of the huge pit, there is a relatively flat small basin, where a tumorous Corrosion Core is pulsating slowly.
This Corrosion Core is different from those that players have seen before, with the surface engraved with complex Spiritual Patterns, already fused with the Black Tide Power; the energy absorbed is supplied for the growth of the Black Tide.
Looking hundreds of meters away, over a thousand players from various guilds are engaged in fierce combat with the Earth Thought Evil Spirits controlled by the Black Tide Demonic Spirits.
The detailed information about this Domain Node also appears in Qi Sheng’s mind:
[Demons Fall Pit - Domain Node]
Domain Type: Resource
Territory Characteristics: Spiritual Multiplication (Level 2)
Characteristic Introduction: Continuously activates Spirit Ore resources.
Domain State: Horror Black Tide (Occupied)
From analyzing this information, it can be found that this is a resource Domain Node similar to the Dark Cave.
However, compared to the Dark Cave, the average level of the Spirit Ore produced here is higher and the intensity of Spiritual Multiplication has reached Level 2.
This is the reason why the major guilds have gathered here, aiming to jointly seize this Domain Node.
At this time, players have been fiercely battling the Black Tide Demonic Spirits for over ten minutes.
Facing the Black Tide under the control of Earth Thought Evil Spirits, the players involved in this surprise attack are exceptionally brave, and during the skirmish, players continuously give orders in their small regional voice channels to direct the actions of the members of all guilds:
Divine King: Don’t worry about casualties, keep pushing forward. We don’t have much time left. If the Black Tide Power from other areas controlled by Earth Thought Evil Spirits comes, this operation is considered a failure, so don’t mind the casualties, prioritize pushing forward... Any brother with the Thunderbolt Attribute, switch to your Thunderbolt Soul and roll toward the Corrosion Core to open up the way with your bodies!
Divine King: Drunken Group and Divine Wings Guild brothers, when the Gale Guild members come down, you guys take over.
Divine King: Who the hell is that bastard, I’m asking who it is, who recruited such a moron? His own brother starts the freakin’ Ink Flame Domain right nearby, I XXXXX, remember his name, management will kick him out of the guild later, damn XXXXX, if you don’t have a brain why even play the game, can’t you just follow orders, I XXXXX.
Vosni Butterfly: God King, there’s Black Tide reinforcements coming from the flank.
Divine King: Seen, Divine Wings Guild brothers hold the line first, others keep pushing forward. If there is an issue, guild leaders speak up in the small regional voice channel, all non-leaders mute your mics, don’t disturb the command.
Divine King, who is in charge of the command, stands in the center of the Guild Joint Army, holding a Spiritual Recovery Potion in his left hand, eyes tightly shut, the Perception View of the Eagle-Headed Demon is opened to the maximum, real-time observing all the guild players and the movements of the Black Tide Demonic Spirits in front.
Under his command, the players advance in an orderly fashion.
However, the overall combat quality of players is generally not high, and there are always players whose actions are out of sync, giving him an immense headache.
When it becomes unbearable, he will also curse out loud in the small regional voice channel.
During his observation, there are also players that shine brightly.
At this time, there is a small team of players that makes him internally shout "awesome".
This team is led by Li Tie, whose performance in leading the Old Army Group in the front-line attack makes Divine King’s blood boil.
Even though the entire team is equipped with close-combat Life Souls, their combat quality is very high, their tacit cooperation during the battle is nearly perfect, like a sharp knife cutting through the surging black fog to carve out a path forward.
What shocks Divine King the most is the team’s efficient method of communication.
Someone in the team whistles, and the rest of the members instantly know from which direction the Evil Spirit will attack rapidly, immediately turning to focus fire in that direction.
It seems that different pitches of the whistle represent a clear directional signal.
After seeing the white-haired man leading the group with his Perception View, Divine King understands the reason.
He is no stranger to this player.
Before obtaining the game access to Dark Land, he was a "Conquest" player, often clashing with the Drunken Group led by Li Siyu, considered a hostile force within the same camp.
The Drunken Guild gave him the impression of a guild formed by a bunch of rich kids.
But there was one exception: Li Tie, who was known by his game name "Da Tie" and had repeatedly caused them great losses in guild confrontations with his solo efforts.
He had once contemplated paying a substantial reward to poach Da Tie to his own guild, as he was very eager for top-level skillful players.
However, numerous private chat attempts failed, as Li Tie did not even respond to his messages, only later did he learn that this player, who was fully skilled in combat, was the grandfather of the Drunken Group guild leader, and thus he gave up on the idea of poaching.
Blood relations couldn’t be transferred with money, after all.
What he didn’t expect was that upon meeting again, the Drunken Group had actually acquired a bunch of battle-ready players as capable as Da Tie.
While feeling envious, he didn’t forget his duty to command. His Perception View swiftly moved across the battlefield, shouting commands in the voice channel from time to time:
Divine King: Surge Guild, those brothers on your left side have broken formation, call them back quickly.
Divine King: All mages from Drunken Guild stop attacking, wait for my command and then cast Fireball together. We can advance only by blowing a hole through their lines with concentrated fire, don’t freaking cast your skills individually, sporadic actions are useless, the Black Tide will just close up the gap. Do you understand what concentrated fire means?
Divine King: Gou Yi, get your guild brothers to step back and take potions, Star Guild to replace them... Retreat in order, don’t freaking crowd each other, replace in groups.
As a professional level war commander and a big spender in multiple games, Divine King, despite his volatile temper, commands such rhythm that impresses the leaders of major guilds, which is why he was chosen as the overall commander of the Guild Joint Operation.
