Monsters Are Coming

This is also why, when Li Zheng wanted to lead a team to rendezvous alone, the Divine King found it difficult to do so.

In the current stage of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, team mode is at an impasse.

Even challenging a single Derivative Evil Spirit is difficult, let alone encountering a group, which is a dead end.

Only with legion mode can the threat of combat suppression from the Derivative Evil Spirits be ignored.

Before long, the United Warband, led by the Divine King, crossed the former Emperor Tomb Mountain Range area and entered a new region.

This place is also shrouded by the Evil Moon, the recently expanded territory of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

...

Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

Heavenly Abyss Domain Node, on the tower platform.

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit stood with arms crossed, hovering and connected to the Evil Eye.

Behind it, the Evil Eye swung its pitch-black tentacles, sharing perception view.

Under the control of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, the endless Evil Spirit surged like a black tide flowing westward, enveloping and devouring every creature, ore, even plants along the way.

After entering the Waxing Moon phase, the area covered by the Evil Moon expanded more than twice.

Yet the Earth Thought Evil Spirit was not satisfied with this.

The change of Moon Phases can arrive at any time, unable to foresee the next cycle.

If it’s a Waning Moon or a waning moon, it would obviously get bogged down in war again.

The Player Clan and Combat Insect Clan, these two forces, are as bothersome as sticky plaster, necessitating every possible effort to grow stronger quickly.

In the direction of the sweeping Black Tide, an ancient city stood at the edge of the plain.

On the towering city walls, a row of figures watched the sweeping Black Tide with tense expressions.

In their view, the Black Tide appeared as a mobile curtain of night, denser even than the darkness, surging like a tide over hills, swallowing everything in its path.

The darkness neared ever faster.

Outside the city, yellowed leaves swirled in the wind, turning into powder before hitting the ground, merging into the Black Tide.

"Prepare for battle!"

With the roar of an armored figure, figures rose and hovered above the city walls.

They watched the surging Black Tide without words, their ears filled with the sound of stone being corroded and consumed.

The blackness swiftly overshadowed the vibrant green in sight.

"Kill!"

Immediately, a rain of elemental arrows broke through the sky, pouring down.

Reaching a certain height, they fell like meteors, smashing into the Black Tide.

But to their despair, as soon as the arrow rain touched the Black Tide, it turned to ash instantly.

Magnifying the view to the microscopic level, at the moment the arrows touched the Black Tide, countless tiny black particles climbed up the arrow shafts, also devouring the elemental energy.

This round of assault caused no damage to the Black Tide, merely becoming its nourishment.

"Retreat! Fall back to the second line of defense!"

The leader on the city walls shouted, but it was already too late.

The darkness came with a "rumbling" sound, raising waves that crashed against the city walls. With the sound of bricks crumbling, the walls made of Spirit Ore melted swiftly like ice cream in the summer heat.

Amidst the darkness, numerous evil figures coalesced into real forms, baring blood-thirsty fangs.

The war was about to erupt.

But this was just a war seen through the eyes of the Alien Race.

In the eyes of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, the Black Tide merely crossed a small hill, delaying only slightly.

Minutes later, the Black Tide enveloped and destroyed the entire city.

In the perception view of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, the deathly silent land saw the black tide like an endless Nether River, continuing to flow towards the distance.

At this moment, the voice of the Evil Eye echoed in the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s mind:

"Earth Thought, the Player Clan is coming!"

Hearing the three words Player Clan, a slight shift appeared in the Earth Thought Evil Spirit’s cold expression.

It loathed this force deeply.

Combat Insect Clan, though strong, in actual combat might at least provide some nourishment to the Black Tide.

The Player Clan, however, is utterly stingy.

Like a leech clinging to the body, neither shaken off nor killed, making him feel nauseated.

Without any hesitation, with a thought, the Black Tide turned direction, preparing first to repel this troublesome Player Clan, and then continue territorial expansion.

"Earth Thought, according to the combat records of these past few days, I found something strange."

After these words from the Evil Eye, a spliced and edited scene appeared in the mind of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

The scene showed recent battle footage between the Black Tide and the Player Clan.

The focus was on the changing battlefield terrain and even the weather.

The Evil Eye continued to explain at this moment:

"Plant growth, extreme cold weather, terrain changes, war enhancement... these abilities are very special, and very similar to those of the Primordial Monster we encountered before."

After speaking, the majestic figure of the Lord surfaced in the mind of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit was, of course, familiar with this Primordial Monster.

When the Player Clan fought it, he happened to pass by and even specifically taunted it.

As a result, the Player Clan redirected the disaster, and ultimately it was he who manipulated the Black Tide Demonic Spirits to kill this road-blocking Primordial Monster.

"Can players acquire abilities from Primordial Monsters?"

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit immediately understood the meaning the Evil Eye wanted to convey.

Before the emergence of this Origin, he and the Player Clan were considered old rivals, yet he had never seen players use such abilities. However, following the containment of the Lord for over a month, the players suddenly began to exhibit the Lord’s ability traits.

Though the intensity is far from that of the Lord, through image comparison it can be generally determined that this indeed is the Lord’s ability.

Facing the inquiry from the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, the Evil Eye did not draw a direct conclusion:

"With only one example, it cannot be proven whether the Player Clan can acquire power traits from Primordial Monsters, but what is certain is that Player Clan members cannot acquire special powers from other creatures. For example, the Player Clan cannot obtain the corresponding power system from the Black Tide Demonic Spirits we generate, and this matter warrants observation."
