Monsters Are Coming

After returning to the Death Space, Yang Xiu still felt a lingering fear.

Meeting a fellow countryman should have been a happy occasion, but after the identity transformation, it was enough to break out in a cold sweat.

Especially after decomposing the information and realizing that the other party was the leader of the Old Army Group, "Master Tie".

"This damn sense of oppression."

Looking up at the figures setting up stalls on both sides of the road ahead, Yang Xiu felt a sense of gratitude for surviving the ordeal.

This unexpected event also made him start pondering a question.

The eight-man Jile Team, although more mobile during tasks, was not as strong in combat as a team mode.

Should the team undergo a combat expansion?

It was clear that the Lord of Jile would gradually integrate the Bliss Players, which was an inevitable trend, but it had not been implemented yet.

The reason was simple.

The Lord of Jile wanted a War Corps, not a small team with outstanding performance in skirmishes.

This could be seen from the Extreme Joy Purple Tide and Jile Insect Tide.

The Lord of Jile was very keen on establishing a strong War Corps and continuously conducted various tests, trying to explore a viable path.

The concept of the Bliss Players was also built on the foundation of forming a corps.

This could be noticed from the setup of the Elite Death Space.

Unlike the Death Space of the trial phase, the Elite Level Death Space had no internal strife.

If encountered on outside tasks, there was a clear rule prohibiting mutual conflict, and instead, a cooperative mechanism was established.

As long as another player team cooperated in the task completion, both parties could receive extra points rewards.

The setup itself revealed the intention of the Lord of Jile.

So regardless of whether he had plans to expand the team size, it could not affect the upcoming team integration trend.

From the perspective of the Bliss Players, the will of the Lord of Jile directed the major trend.

Rather than waiting to be forced into other teams, it was better to start planning for the future ahead of time.

With this idea in mind, Yang Xiu decided to reach out to the Independent Bliss Players and other Bliss Teams, attempting to recruit more members.

Preferably recruiting players from his own camp, knowing them inside out, and working collaboratively.

If there were any issues, offering them some sacrificial power as a comfort fee, making voluntary sacrifice easier to handle emotionally.

Just unsure of how many players from his own camp passed the trial to reach the Elite Death Space.

But before that, there was one more thing he needed to do.

Calling up his friend list, he contacted the leader of the assassin group.

Yang Meitu Qi: Leader, are you there?

Only Play Assassin: In the Little Black Room browsing the forum, is the instance run over, ready to return?

Yang Meitu Qi: Not yet, I feel like I could play here for years. Maybe in the future, I’ll become the top hitter under the Lord of Welfare. By then, meeting me would mean kowtowing for mercy.

Only Play Assassin: Such treason, recognizing a thief as a father... So you really plan to stay in the Death Space?

Yang Meitu Qi: You know my situation, I’ve grown attached to my current teammates. I have to continue accompanying and nurturing them until they mature. How great it would be to bring them back to join the Player Corps.

Only Play Assassin: I have an idea.

Yang Meitu Qi: Spill.

Only Play Assassin: Turn them into sacrificial power, and then use it to enhance your Star Vein or Body Refining, letting them accompany you forever in another form. If you’re reluctant to do it, next time let’s meet up and I’ll do it for you. After it’s done, I’ll hand your "teammates" over to you.

Yang Meitu Qi: Leader, are you an idiot or what? (Chi Tu Furious Table Slam.jpg)

Only Play Assassin: Hahaha, just kidding. What do you need from me?

Yang Meitu Qi: It’s been too long since I went offline. The nutrient fluid in the game pod might not be sufficient. Help me order a batch of nutrient fluid, and I’ll transfer you sacrificial power for payment.

Only Play Assassin: No problem.

Then Yang Xiu sent the home address to the leader of the assassin group in the Divine Hall Guild.

Next, the leader would help order the nutrient fluid.

At that time, there would be a robot dedicated to delivering and replacing the nutrient fluid, so he wouldn’t need to go offline.

Before leaving the Death Space, this was the best solution.

He could go offline anytime, but suddenly doing so might bring the Lord of Jile’s punishment, resulting in an early account ban.

To continue the Death Space journey, the task of replacing the nutrient fluid could be entrusted to a friend.

After closing the chat with the leader, Yang Xiu led his teammates towards the trading area with stalls.

Next, he would start preparing to establish the Bliss Player team.

Perhaps one day, he and his teammates might truly become special existences like Champion Fighters.

But by then, his sudden betrayal might infuriate the Lord of Welfare.

Therefore, he needed to plan a retreat path for his teammates in advance.

Otherwise, if he escaped, his teammates would suffer, inevitably affected by the wrath of the Lord of Welfare.

Upon inquiring with the Guidance, there were many methods in the Monster World to lift the restrictions.

Helping his teammates break free from the Lord of Welfare’s control was entirely possible.

...

Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

Heavenly Abyss Domain Node, Tower platform.

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit hovered in the air, its Perception View extending westward.

In the scene, the Black Tide surged and billowed, devouring all the material it encountered.

Initially, its plan was to expand eastward, lengthening the front line to obtain the nutrients needed for the Black Tide’s growth.

However, the front line was too narrow, wedged in without strategic depth or space for adjustment.

Encountering the Golden Ocean Domain, it completely abandoned the idea of continuing eastward expansion.
