Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

[Yes, that's Chen Ye's strategy points after all; they're definitely not something ordinary people can compare to. Those strategy points are simply explosive.]

[But isn't Dawn currently conquering the Northern Industrial Zone dungeon? Apparently, she previously cleared an entire industrial zone dungeon and even obtained a valuable Land Deed Book. Keep in mind, the Northern Industrial Zone is quite large; acquiring so many land deeds suggests that the Church of the Blazing Sun is about to take off again.]

That's for sure. After all, the Church of the Blazing Sun is somewhat lacking in land. If they were given a larger plot of land, they would definitely have more room for development, and nobody knows what scale they could grow to.

In short, the Lieyang Church is doing incredibly well right now, having acquired so many land deeds; it's definitely on its way to taking off.

[Not only that, it's said that the special items collected by the Sun Chapel can be offered to the Sun Lord through sacrifices in exchange for many Sun-specific items. Just this alone makes it incomparable to ordinary beings. Once it reaches the level of authority, it will definitely be even more powerful. I wonder when Dawn will be able to reach that level.]

It is said that once you reach the level of a god, you can go to the kingdom of gods. I wonder what that kingdom is like; it's truly something to look forward to!

The situation in the northern industrial zone should be stabilizing by now, right? Does anyone know what's going on inside?

[I'm currently in the Northern Industrial Zone. There are a large number of red-skinned zombies here, appearing from who-knows-where. Killing these zombies causes them to explode with a powerful burst of black flames. We need to keep our distance and take them down gradually. However, these red-skinned zombies are currently being suppressed by the Manufacturing Association's firepower and haven't been able to get close to us. At the same time, the bosses from Zones One, Two, and Three have all appeared. Two have already been taken down. We only need to eliminate the last monster to completely control this area of ​​the instance.]

[Sounds like the progress is pretty good. No wonder so many players have rushed in. With so many top-tier players now, they should be able to clear this dungeon easily, right?]

Don't be careless. This kind of dungeon is still very dangerous. If there aren't enough high-level players, you'll definitely face a great threat if you go in. Moreover, the more high-level players there are, the less loot you'll get. It's not like low-level players can just follow high-level players into a high-difficulty dungeon and expect to get rich rewards.

[For low-level players, this is definitely true. Killing red-skinned zombies only yields a meager amount of strategy points; they don't drop any valuable loot. The high-level dungeon bosses are all hunted by experienced players who take all the rewards; low-level players like us have absolutely no chance.]

"That's for sure. After all, those monsters are way too high-level for low-level players like you to handle. If you're really struggling, you should come back quickly. There's nothing shameful about deserting a low-level player. If you can't handle a dungeon, then don't bother with it."

[But with so many experienced players teaming up to conquer this dungeon, it's a great opportunity to learn and grow. Just be careful with your positioning; don't get into the line of fire, or you'll die.]

Don't worry, these players are all incredibly shrewd these days; they won't die that easily.

At this time, most players on the forum were discussing the situation in the northern industrial zone.

With such a large amount of strategy information, many players here realize that this industrial area must have a lot of good stuff that is worth exploring.

Therefore, the once desolate northern industrial zone is now filled with many people, most of whom are players who have received the message and know that a large-scale raid is taking place in the northern industrial zone.

Sunlit Church, Manufacturing Association, Demon Heaven Guild...

Many well-known guilds joined the hunt.

Moreover, this industrial area is said to be connected to the Joker.

This greatly attracted players to come and check it out.

"Is this the northern industrial zone?"

A figure with pointed ears and a monkey-like face arrived at a small hill in front of the northern industrial zone. From the higher vantage point, it could be seen that the entire northern industrial zone was shrouded in black mist, making it look like it was not a place that could be entered.

A sweet, clear voice came from the side:
"According to the current test report, this black fog is highly corrosive. If you want to go in, you need at least the strength of a fourth-level player to break through. Previously, it was the clergy of the Sun Church who opened a passage, which allowed so many players to enter the northern industrial area... But now the Sun Church has collectively joined the internal battle, and the number of players is probably already saturated."

"To put it bluntly, we just can't get in!"

"If you have the strength, you can still get in, but this black mist can indeed keep most players out."

"Look... a huge military fortress has appeared in that area. If I'm not mistaken, it should have been built by the [Manufacturing Association], right?"

"The strength of the [Manufacturing Association] is truly terrifying. This military fortress looks very large, and its firepower can cover the entire northern industrial area. There are also many members of the Sun Church standing guard, defending the area. They are probably ready to attack this northern industrial area at any time."

"I have to say, the things that players are able to create are getting bigger and bigger. I never expected that there would be something of this scale. It's really eye-opening."

"It all depends on whether we can get into this area of ​​black mist..."

Just then, the density of the black fog suddenly decreased significantly.

Meanwhile, a bombshell announcement came from within the forum!
Two bosses related to the black mist have already been killed by the Holy Maiden Dawn, so the density of this black mist has weakened considerably, and its corrosive effect has decreased dramatically.

"Then can we try to attack this industrial area?"

Just as many players were thinking this, an alarm suddenly sounded from the massive military fortress south of the northern industrial zone:

"All players, stand back immediately!"

"All players, stand back immediately!"

"All players, stand back immediately!"

"..."

"We are about to bombard this northern industrial area. Everyone, please retreat to a safe area immediately to avoid being affected by our firepower."

Hearing this broadcast, none of the players dared to approach the northern industrial area.

You should know...

That's such a massive military fortress. If it were to launch a series of artillery bombardments towards the northern industrial area, the destructive power would be absolutely terrifying!

Rumble!!!
Rumble!!!
Several beams of light shot out from the railgun's position and landed on the black mist covering the northern industrial area... Immediately, massive flames erupted, covering the sky, like a divine judgment!
The black fog was instantly parted, and under the bombardment of artillery fire, it gradually dissipated, revealing the entire northern industrial area.

"What powerful force! It tore through the entire protective layer of the northern industrial zone so easily, and it seems capable of bombing areas even further inside."

"That's right, but we need to be careful of the players inside. These railguns are controlled by players with detection abilities. They have excellent visual skills and can see the positions of enemies and friendly forces, so they can adjust the firing range of the railguns accordingly."

"To put it bluntly, the Church of the Sun has made the most of its talent. The players who remain inside the military fortress and are in charge of sentry posts are almost all monitoring-type players. Their purpose is to control the railgun and bombard the defense system of the entire northern industrial area."

"The defense system of the northern industrial zone has now been completely opened. It seems that this area can be completely conquered by the players."

"That's right, it all depends on how these players operate."

After the defenses of the northern industrial zone were completely breached, many players took the opportunity to enter the battlefield, hoping to participate in the operation even if it was just to get a share of the spoils.

After all, even just participating in such a large-scale operation can provide a lot of experience.

Many players approached the area surrounding the Northern Industrial Zone for this very purpose, wanting to see what the dungeon's structure was like and whether they could carve out a niche for themselves and gather resources.

At this moment.

Within the northern industrial zone, there is one last mantis that requires everyone's attention.

Just then, Chenxi returned to the formation of Longhu Mountain from the spot where she had killed the Ghost Singer, her gaze fixed on the mantis.

The mantis also looked at the dawn with a hateful gaze. It had already sensed that its two companions had died in this war, and it knew that the person in front of it must be extremely powerful to kill its two companions who were so strong.

Immediately, the mantis began to move its body, emitting sharp hisses, and began to roar angrily at the dawn, venting its emotions.

"Release him, I will deal with him myself!" Chenxi's voice rang in the ears of the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain.

"it is good."

The Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain immediately dispelled the alchemical formation.

Only by dispelling the formation can Dawn's attack land on the mantis.

Otherwise, the only option is to use mental attacks to keep harassing the mantis.

The Sun Maidens present were constantly singing, their purpose being to apply a buff to their battlefield, making their allies stronger while also disrupting the enemy's combat capabilities.

as predicted.

As soon as the formation was dispelled, the mantis leaped high into the air, using its powerful jumping ability to land hundreds of meters above the ground, its two sharp daggers stabbing wildly towards the direction of dawn!

"Watch out, Your Majesty!"

The members of the nearby Sun Chapel couldn't help but loudly remind Chenxi.

After all, this mantis belongs to the dark-type [Night Mantis], possessing excellent assassin abilities and is an outstanding killer.

At this moment, the methods and attacks unleashed by [Dark Night Mantis] were like thunder. Moreover, [Dark Night Mantis] had been trapped within the formation and had not suffered any damage. It was still at its peak strength and would still be able to fight against Dawn.

However, at this moment, Dawn was not afraid at all. Her eyes had completely seen through the attack methods of the Dark Night Mantis, and she turned her body to the side to dodge.

The Night Mantis's fierce attack struck the ground, completely missing Dawn.

"What a quick reaction time!"

When the other players saw this, they cheered. The Dark Mantis's attributes were undoubtedly the highest among the three creatures.

The fastest speed.

Furthermore, even with control over the black mist, it still possesses considerable defensive capabilities.

Speed ​​is one of the most important stats in combat.

The speed of the Dark Mantis is so fast that it can handle more situations and constantly pull and entangle with Dawn.

Dawn knew that the Dark Mantis was a tough opponent, so she quickly unleashed an even more powerful attack and began to entangle with it.

The sword light, accompanied by dancing flames, surged forward towards the Dark Night Mantis, sealing off any escape route for it.

But at this moment, the Night Mantis was blinded by hatred and only thought about how to kill Dawn, without considering how to defend itself.

Over time, under such entanglement, [Dark Mantis] let out an angry roar. He realized that he had to kill Dawn before this battle could truly come to an end.

The next second, the Night Mantis let out a roar and fought with all its might against Dawn.

However, at this moment, Dawn seemed to have entered a state of clarity, and she was able to handle the attacks of the Night Mantis with ease, constantly dodging its attacks while also attacking its weaknesses.

Under such relentless attacks, [Dark Mantis] was becoming somewhat disheartened, realizing that he was probably no match for Dawn! (End of Chapter)
