Monsters Are Coming

It’s certain, the bully is definitely stirring up trouble again.

As per usual, whenever it makes a move, it’s either expanding outward or opening new dungeons to trick other Evil Spirits. Brothers, are we in or not?

The giant snake in the valley: We’re in, definitely in. The dungeons opened by the bully always reward generously. Haven’t we always feasted until we’re stuffed?

The Recovery Mist: This teleportation array is set in the direction of the Phantom Swamp. Why not set it at our doorstep? I suspect the Earth Thought Bully is trying to transfer the chaos eastward. Better be careful; the bully might be setting a trap for us to enter.

Cow King: @Recovery Mist, there you go again, standing with that fool Mingwu Emperor. Does it matter if it’s a trap? What matters is if there’s something tasty on the other side of the trap.

Emperor’s Disco: Is there even a need to ask? The bully takes the lead, and we scoop up the spoils behind. How can we not follow such a good deal? Just waiting for the bully to pave the way for us.

Shangguan Xingfeng: Let me cite a few examples. Wasn’t "Ice Mist Breath" back then given by the bully? When Monster Stream was about to end, who organized the attack on the Giant Domain and ultimately allowed us to obtain the Giant Transformation Rule, showcasing the spectacular Million Stream Light Slash Reverse Situation, forcibly extending the life of Monster Stream that was about to be eliminated? And who was it that supported us players in seizing multiple Domain Nodes originally occupied by Evil Spirits...? Don’t bother analyzing whether the Earth Thought Bully’s plan has traps. At worst, we face an hour of resurrection cooldown. Do we even need to analyze the question of whether to follow? Charge ahead mindlessly!

Water Flame: Tsk tsk, the bully is off to cause trouble again. But... I like it, just love watching it stir up things everywhere. Brothers, get ready; the bully’s charge horn is about to sound. This time, who knows which force will be unlucky enough to be targeted by the bully and turned into nourishment.

Players on the forum showed immense enthusiasm, gearing up and ready.

Once the Earth Thought Evil Spirit officially opens the teleportation, they’ll immediately follow in and enact the classic scenario of "bully paving the way, players reaping the rewards."

As for the Beast Insect Race, they are considered the most reckless group in the players’ eyes. There’s no possibility of not following.

Comparing the Insect Race Mainbrain with the Earth Thought Bully, they’re completely opposite existences.

One is a tactical mastermind skilled in calculation, the other a fearless and super reckless brute.

A player once uploaded a short clip they made in reality on the forum.

The scene is at Imperial Tomb Village’s entrance, with Earth Thought Bully depicted as a chibi black mist figure, the player as a human model in beginner outfit, and the insect race as a simplistically modeled clawed insect.

The three sides brawl, bruised and battered.

While fighting, Earth Thought Bully suddenly stops and looks up at the changing moon phase and gradually becomes arrogant.

When the moon phase freezes at the Waxing Moon, the time for expansion has arrived.

The bully grabs a stick from the ground and heads outside the village, muttering:

"Going?"

The player is visibly confused, stopping their attack and looking baffled:

"Going where?"

At this moment, the chibi cute insect ignores what’s happening outside the village and lets out an unthinking "Chirp!"

It strides after Earth Thought Bully outside the village, even crashing into the bully’s rear from rushing too fast, making the bully stagger, who then retaliates with a stick hitting the insect’s head.

Finally, after a brief hesitation, the player picks up a stone from the ground and follows.

Although this short clip is crudely made, it vividly depicts the current state of Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

Especially the depiction of the insect race, showing a mindset of not caring where the others go or who they attack, but just wanting to follow regardless.

Whether the enemy is strong or not doesn’t matter; just fighting is the goal.

This little video became widely circulated on the forum, turning into a classic meme for players to tease the insect race.

Hours later.

Informed guilds and teams continuously pour into Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

A flood of players, obscuring the sky and covering the earth.

Figures pour out from teleports points, guild banners rise densely, and vehicles stand like a forest.

Damage-taking Stream Players voluntarily stand at the front of the player army, stepping heavily in the lead.

Assassin players flash in the shadows, the combat pets of Pet Stream players let out bloodthirsty growls...

Chaotic calls, pre-battle roars... various sounds intertwined, forming a chaotic yet vibrant roar.

Preparing to welcome a grand plundering feast of revelry.

Alongside, test the bully and insect race.

The three major United Battle Groups, led by Divine Hall Guild, also assembled during this period.

Even many newcomers, who had never set foot on the land of Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, came to join the excitement, wanting to witness up close the three-sided battlefield hailed as palace-level.

The Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, a perennial battleground of conflict, boiled over completely with the influx of more players.

Towards the Phantom Swamp direction, the insect tide screeches form a wave of death.

Dense swarms of insect warriors surge from the swamp depths, underground nests, their sharp claws glinting coldly, lacking any tactical formation, only the most primal and pure destructive impulse converged into a torrent.

Their very existence is to release crushing dominance over everything.

At this moment, they majestically advance towards the direction of the teleportation array.

Atop the Evil Eye Tower, Black Tide Energy surges turbulently, like boiling ink sea.

The silhouette of Earth Thought Evil Spirit hangs at the tower top, imposing suppression as substantial as real, with Perception View overlooking the rapidly converging player army and insect race army.

As anticipated, these two animal-like forces indeed followed.

It initially considered whether to employ "temptation" tactics.

For example, after the teleportation array opens, intentionally let a few Evil Spirits pretend to have "returned fully loaded" from the other side of the Space Channel, carrying resources and materials back, to provoke players’ greed, ensuring they will definitely follow.
