Chapter 279: Chapter 239: Cleaning and Looking Over_l
Once he left the vicinity of Baijiang City, Mu Yuan switched his power template to the template of the ‘Wings of the Wind King’, which had a faster flight speed. He harnessed the power of the wind and continuously flew with Sophia.
By repeatedly adjusting their direction using a locating software, it wasn’t long before Mu Yuan flew into Jiangbei City.
Despite the lights still being on, the city was in a state of chaos. Ordinary people in their pajamas hurried to shelters under the guidance of official staff.
Ahead, red warning lights flashed in the cordoned-off areas.
Players rode griffins over, took a short pause here, and then flew off into the darkness.
In the remote darkness, thanks to the night adaptability of the Sophia Template, Mu Yuan could faintly make out the outlines of towering mountains.
Flames burst open in the distance and the sporadic sound of gunfire could be heard.
Instead of crossing the warning line, Mu Yuan landed, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the destination indicated on his navigation device, where the red lights were flashing.
“The area ahead is dangerous. Access is prohibited.”
“Players who have taken the task, please proceed here for docking. Do not enter indiscriminately to avoid entering the bombardment area.”
When Mu Yuan arrived, there were already many players who had received notification and rushed here.
From the players, he learned the latest updates.
The Area of Two Realms was under control, and large numbers of monsters would no longer surge outward. The situation in the interior of the Area of Two Realms was unknown and it was presumed that they would only explore further after the arrival of real reinforcements.
However,
Before the blockade line for the Area of Two Realms was drawn, a lot of monsters had surged all around, including into Jiangbei City. Due to the influence of the birth of the Area of Two Realms, several gaps had appeared within Jiangbei City and monsters were rampant.
“Your tasks are to kill the monsters in the city as much as possible and to rescue the civilians who haven’t had time to evacuate.”
An official player from the Jiangbei Association, wiping his sweat, said, “Please be careful. The monsters that surged out of the Area of Two Realms are not like the ones from the gaps. There are very powerful and cunning high-level monsters among them.”
“No problem, it’s just a bunch of monsters. This lord guarantees their return is impossible.”
An old lord spoke up.
He seemed to be using the Imperial Guard template. His golden armor shone under the light.
While he was talking, he was summoning his troops.
Spearman, Archer, Halberd Guard, Griffin, all walked out of the Space Gate one after another.
The old lord drank a mixture to restore energy and spiritual power, and then continued to summon. In no time, he had gathered an elite force of over a hundred behind him.
“No matter what monster it is, my army will tear them apart.”
He clearly was a strong reinforcement.
One should know that in a city at the prefecture level, there might only be a few dozens to a hundred lords, and the vast majority of them would be in the Eternal World, difficult to contact for a while.
The players who came to aid were inspired by this.
The official staff too, but looking at this lord, he couldn’t help but say, “Don’t underestimate them, we have no clear understanding of the situation of the fleeing monsters, beware of the sneak attacks by high-level monsters.”
“Also, it is recommended that players with ordinary strength form a team.”
“I hope everyone returns safely.”
Mu Yuan also came forward to register and show his identification.
After all, the border areas were often mixed, and sometimes those who came here were not just players who had taken on tasks, but also some criminals who had been wanted.
“This bracelet can record combat information to calculate merits after the fight. The red button on it is a distress button. If you encounter a strong enemy, you can send out a distress signal in time. Also, try to provide assistance when you see a distress signal.”
The official staff repeatedly told the players who came.
He saw Mu Yuan’s identity information.
New lord.
He swallowed a little, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He just said, “Be careful,” and then instructed other players to go.
Mu Yuan, with Sophia, crossed the warning line. On either side were players who, like him, were rushing into the city.
The deeper they went, the quieter it became. The city seemed like a desolate forest of cold steel where monsters could pounce out of the dark alleys at any time.
The players seemed like droplets of water sinking into a marsh, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Only the occasional sounds of explosions in the distance, like ripples in the marsh, gave these droplets some sense of presence.
Mu Yuan looked around. The signs of a struggle were everywhere.
The claw marks of the monsters;
Streetlights cut down by sharp weapons;
Road surfaces cracked with spiderweb-like fractures;
By his side, Sophia had already stretched out her hand, palm up. Like a magician’s hat, her pale hand sent out one black crow after another, which fluttered their wings and flew in all directions, melting into the dark night.
“Four o’clock direction, about 150 meters, two giant wolves spotted.”
“Eleven o’clock direction, about 250 meters, a pack of goblins, seventeen in total, one of them is a Goblin Shaman.”
“Ten o’clock direction, about 200 meters,…”
Sophia said.
Mu Yuan looked around. There was no one nearby. He used a dim light to slightly cover the camera on the bracelet, and the imprint on the back of his hand emitted light.
“My lord, Lu Liu obeys your command and has come.”
Mu Yuan summoned Lu Liu along with several Royal Guards, a few Big Halberdier, and some God Archer, and let him take his men away on their own mission.
