Monsters Are Coming

As the intensity of the forum discussion escalated, a concept was born in the forum: whoever can successfully deliver will be the coolest guy in the forum.

This bet turned Ah Lan into a perfect marketing case.

A large number of players eagerly signed up to participate.

They set sail from the Colorful Mist Coast Region, launching breakout actions from different directions.

During this, the Mingwu also started assassination operations.

The entire Dream Island was under tight surveillance, and all Player Clan members leaving the island were killed, ensuring that players on Dream Island simply couldn't leave the island.

But for the players, this behavior was meaningless.

After all, the Rule Fragments have always been in the hands of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce's president, "Ah Lan". As long as a player breaks through successfully, they can instantly deliver the Rule Fragments through a cross-space transaction.

Blocking Dream Island, players could still start from the Colorful Mist Coast and break through from different sea directions.

During the challenge activity, players were acting like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their divine skills.

Players with flying vehicles broke through high in the sky, thinking that as long as they flew high and fast enough, they could find a route above the clouds where no interception was possible, and the Mingwu Clan couldn't effectively assassinate.

It's easy to set up defenses on the sea, but very difficult in the sky.

This group of players drove various flying vehicles straight up into the clouds from the Colorful Mist Coast.

For those players without flying vehicles, the deep sea became another way out.

No matter how strict the Mingwu clan's sea blockade is, it cannot completely cover the unfathomable seabed.

Some players used diving vehicles or simply relied on Underwater Breathing Elixirs to quietly traverse the seabed.

The deep sea was dimly lit, making it difficult for the Mingwu clan's patrols to reach.

The downside is that apart from the Mingwu clan, there are also giant sea beasts and dark whirlpools, any of these potential crises could cause the escapee to perish at the bottom of the sea.

But the fact is, the tactics used by players now had no effect on the Mingwu clan's defense setup.

Ye Ming's tactic was simple: blockade the sea area around Dream Island, then condense troops near Mist Conceal Island.

No matter how successful the breakouts in other areas are, as long as they approach Mist Conceal Island, they will face a tight, inescapable net.

As the countdown to the challenge activity progressed, players invented more and more breakout methods, and also began to show many ingenious maneuvers.

The blockade of Dream Island seems like a dense, inescapable net, but players believe there is no invulnerable defense force.

Whether soaring the sky, diving deep into the sea, or strong frontal assaults, each method tested the players' strategic courage.

And the Mingwu clan also kept adjusting their tactics during each clash.

This cat-and-mouse game energized the emotions of many players.

...

Bright Star Sea Area, outside Mist Conceal Island.

A team of over a hundred Mingwu warriors was patrolling in the sea area 49 nautical miles from Mingwu Island.

Each warrior was enveloped in black mist, scanning the sky, sea surface, and even through the sea surface to observe the seabed environment.

"Gangster, where are you?"

"Don't make a noise, I'm too nervous right now, afraid of the Mingwu clan members talking to me."

With that, the player with the game ID "Gangster" continued to control the Shadow Leaping Body, following the Mingwu warrior team towards a distant place.

The tactic they used was named: Shadow Jumper Tactics.

This was an infiltration tactic centered around the niche Second Generation Life Soul "Shadow Jumper".

The trait effect of Shadow Jumper Life Soul is to control the target's "shadow" to fight.

But the shadow here does not refer to the shadow cast on the ground under the sun.

Rather, it's a template generated based on the target's abilities, with strength influenced by the player's spiritual strength, and can incorporate other Life Soul characteristics.

This is a relatively niche Life Soul in the forum. The advantage is that when encountering a tough opponent, the Shadow Jumper trait can be used to create a Shadow Leaping Body with the opponent's abilities for counterattack.

(PS: Shadow Jumper Life Soul appeared for the first time in chapter 227.)

To ensure this plan proceeded smoothly, the warband that Gangster was part of had a fierce battle with this Mingwu clan team at sea.

Before retreating, Gangster used the Shadow Jumper trait to create a Shadow Leaping Body in the chaos, conveniently eliminating the target copied by the Shadow Jumper.

Now this Mingwu clan team had not discovered that a warrior in their team had already been replaced by a player and continued to carry out patrol missions.

"Give me a bottle of Spirit Potion, the farther I control, the greater the consumption, my energy bar can't hold it."

Hearing Gangster's call, a teammate immediately took out a bottle of Spiritual Recovery Potion and fed it to his main body.

While Gangster's consciousness was still on the Shadow Leaping Avatar, running around the sea area with the team.

"Can this plan work, what if this team doesn't go back to the island, are we just gonna waste two days here?"

"We're at this stage, don't give up, I already booked you nutrient solution over the phone, just calmly follow the patrol, if successful, you'll take the lion's share of fifteen thousand sacrificial power."

"Alright." Gangster reluctantly agreed.

Fortunately, the team was strictly disciplined, with no one talking throughout, and only the leading captain occasionally issuing brief instructions to adjust the patrol route.

The sea breeze carried the cold aura unique to the Mingwu clan, brushing against Gangster, tightening his mental state even further. He must maintain the stability of the Shadow Leaping Body at all times. A slight mistake could lead to exposure.

The Shadow Jumper can replicate all of the opponent's non-rule abilities but can't replicate memory.

This is also why he's afraid to communicate.

If he really starts chatting, he would be full of loopholes, easily exposed and killed.
