Chapter 281: Chapter 239 Cleaning and Looking Ahead_3
The next moment, the lord at the core of the team threw out several illumination spheres, barely lighting up the underground space.
They also illuminated the monsters hidden in the darkness.
These were eight-legged monsters, with hideous appearances, climbing quickly on the ceiling and walls like spiders, occasionally spitting out acid or sharp spikes, tossing cars into the air.
All these eight-legged monsters were elite level beasts!
As for their numbers…he lost count.
And in his squad, numerous sentries and spearmen had already fallen. The old lord’s heart bled.
“How can these fleeing monsters be so strong?”
He had been a lord for seven or eight years ever since he descended into the Eternal World, and there were never any overly aggressive monsters around his territory.
He had fought steadily and gradually expanded his territory, which was now a level four town and county level territory.
However, in these seven or eight years, the number of monster tribes he had fought could be counted on one hand. The last time he fought a tribal enemy was three or four years ago when he joined forces with two neighboring lords to wipe out a powerful monster tribe.
Now, within hundreds of kilometers of his territory, there was hardly a trace of any monster tribe.
Peace and tranquility.
The old lord himself did not have much experience in dealing with formidable enemies; he was just a farming lord.
“But no matter what, I am a lord.”
“If I ran away, how many other players could handle monsters of this level? Fight on!”
The old lord gritted his teeth, anticipating a significant cost.
Suddenly,
Darkness fell, plunging the surroundings into a pitch-black oblivion where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. Even the nearby illumination spheres couldn’t cast even the slightest bit of light.
The old lord grew fearful.
But two or three seconds later, the ink-like darkness, as suddenly as it came, receded like the tide.
The old lord looked around; his troops were safe, and not far away were the eight-legged monsters. Some bodies were cleaved, spattering green and blue blood. Some bodies were engulfed in raging black flames, and in the blink of an eye turned to ash. These black flames did not spread.
The powerful eight-legged monsters had all been killed in the blink of an eye.
And all around, there was no one to be seen.
The old lord looked towards the exit of the underground parking garage, “A big shot must have made a move. Could it be the vice-president of Jiangbei Association? But didn’t the vice-presidents go to the border area?”
He didn’t think about it much more and continued to search for the hidden monsters in the surrounding area.
That’s the primary focus.
As time went by, Mr. Tan, the Liver Emperor, and others also arrived at the battlefield.
As player reinforcements continued to arrive, the situation gradually stabilized, the number of monsters in the city sector quickly decreased, and residents who had not had time to evacuate were soon rescued.
Sophia walked between the alleys, skillfully switching between different black crow’s eye views.
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
She hadn’t found traces of monsters in half an hour, which meant the cleanup was effective. Of course, there were probably a few monsters still hiding in the city, and it would take a longer time to gradually clear them out.
“But besides monsters, it seems I’ve found something interesting.”
Sophia thought for a moment and made her team’s formation less compact.
She then took out a staff from her storage ring, which emitted a pleasant glow.
This was a rare staff, its strength was its gorgeous special effects.
After grabbing the staff, she put on her earrings and slipped rings onto her fingers, splendid like a rich second-generation lord.
This should do.
She strolled leisurely, continuing to search for traces of monsters.
Half an hour later,
On the rooftop of a tall building, a black figure perched, looking out over the surroundings.
“Once I get through the border and escape into the Eternal World, the sky’s the limit. I won’t have to live in fear every day.”
“But, even if I escape to the Eternal World, to the neutral cities outside of Tai Xuan, without money, I can’t get very far.”
“Why do some people have wealth from birth? Why do I, a chosen one destined by the heavens, still have to work for others!”
In his snake-like eyes, he saw a figure in a robe, surrounded by a faint halo.
He waited for a moment, and when the timing was right, he leapt down from the rooftop.
The blade in his hand was drawn, and it gleamed with a cold light.
His gaze met that of the rich lady lord looking up from below.
The next moment, his consciousness went black, swallowed by the black tide.
Sophia stepped into the alley.
In front of her, a giant black crow hovered in the air, its claws clutching the unconscious player, revealing his face.
Sophia took out her phone, opened an app, and scanned the player’s face.
“Ding ding ding-”
The information was revealed.
“Feng Xiuke, a C-level wanted criminal, the bounty is not in Soul Sand but in Xuan Country Coins, but 2 million is not bad, a good start.”
She murmured to herself, continuing to wander in the city.
Elsewhere, Mu Yuan killed a deeply hidden Goblin Leader, wiping his spear.
He looked behind him, the lights of Jiangbei City were still bright and as more players continued to arrive, the flames of peace grew brighter.
The matter here was nearly over.
But in front of him, the dark mountains stretched on, leading to unknown places..
