Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

"Finally, we killed that praying mantis!"

Chen Xi took a deep breath and felt extremely refreshed.

After slaying the mantis, the system rewarded me with one million strategy points, plus the [Mantis's Blade], a sixth-tier trait item, as a reward.

Of course, because this special item has the attribute of being polluted, Dawn doesn't really like it. She plans to go to the Sun Chapel later, go through the Sun Altar, and perform a sacrifice to see if she can exchange it for a valuable job change item from the Lord of Sun.

When dawn discovers the Altar of the Blazing Sun, and uses these polluted substances for sacrifices, summoning a guardian light to completely purify the pollution yields even richer rewards.

The reappearance of dawn is likely related to the will of the Lord of the Blazing Sun.

After all, as the Lord of the Blazing Sun, he must know about the war of the sequence. As long as he can eliminate the enemies at the end of the war, it will definitely bring him considerable benefits.

However, those old-fashioned men in the church insisted that all sacrifices had to be performed using items from the Lord of the Sun. After the sacrifices were performed and no feedback was received, they even thought that such sacrifices were the only way to truly cater to the Lord of the Sun. But after Dawn performed several sacrifices and received many good things, those old-fashioned men immediately shut up. They realized that Dawn's approach was more ingenious and correct, and could lead the Church of the Sun to a higher level.

As a saintess, she was originally appointed as a goddess by the Lord of the Blazing Sun, and her status was so high that it rivaled that of a bishop.

Only a bishop could suppress the goddess.

But now that the bishop is also standing beside Dawn, let her momentum within the Church of the Blazing Sun be comparable to the top level.

Bishop El-Melloi was also a very clever old magician. He knew that he had to stand by Dawn's side to have the greatest influence. Moreover, those old-fashioned bishops were already relics of the past, with only instinctive understanding. They were completely inferior to young people like Dawn, who possessed rich and flexible minds and could bring something different to the church.

"One million strategy points, that's quite a haul this time!"

Chenxi's smile brightened. Knowing that she had dealt with the mantis, the remaining tasks would be much easier. She immediately returned to the previous area, intending to join the battle at the Church of the Blazing Sun and cut down the blood-red vines.

…………

At this moment, under the attack of the [Manufacturing Association], the crystal membrane corresponding to the third heart had been almost completely destroyed.

"Come on, brothers! Let's keep firing at Hong Jiong and we'll definitely break through his defenses!"

Tang Wu watched the crystal membrane crack open, a sharp glint in his eyes. He knew that this action would be much simpler for the [Manufacturing Association] in the future.

The members of the Manufacturing Association began to continuously output power to the crystal membrane that was about to burst open.

"That was really satisfying! I haven't used such explosive firepower in ages. As expected of members of the Manufacturing Association, this firepower is just too fierce. It's like a rainstorm. We're going to bombard it and shatter this crystal membrane completely. We're going to blow that heart apart!"

All the members were excited. They had been eager to try out how to use such a high-specification weapon when it was first manufactured.

Now that we have this stage, and with so many players watching, using these weapons is like a spectacular fireworks show!

As this barrage of firepower poured down, the other players present couldn't help but show expressions of surprise upon witnessing this scene.

"Is this the firepower of the [Manufacturing Association]? They've been firing at it for so long, and now it's getting even stronger, showing no sign of stopping at all."

"You need to know just how terrifying the number of orders the [Manufacturing Association] receives is. They are probably the richest guild in the entire Strange Era. The extent of their wealth is beyond your imagination."

“That’s right. We see opportunities in the [Manufacturing Association]’s territory every day. A large order comes in, and they’re constantly engaged in large-scale production. The [Craftsmen] they’ve recruited are already top-tier, and their production speed is quite impressive. Plus, with Tang Wu’s blueprints, they already have quite a few exquisite machines that can produce these items. What a magnificent guild they are!”

"That's true. You can sense that Tang Wu's guild is really different. If the [Manufacturing Association] has been able to develop to this level, it must be largely due to the guild leader."

"In the early stages, Tang Wu obtained a batch of resources from the leaderboard, which was said to be the reward for the first special item. This allowed Tang Wu to enter a rare career path. With subsequent development, this path enabled Tang Wu to master a lot of terrifying industries, as if they came from an advanced civilization. Therefore, he recruited a lot of craftsmen and also had the help of the Sea God Clan, which made it even easier for him to develop!"

“That’s right. I think the help from the Sea God Clan is absolutely necessary. As the ‘Sailor’ class, they are machines with considerable operational capabilities. After all, ‘Sailors’ also need to operate ships and possess a certain level of intelligence and mechanical skills. This force was completely controlled by Tang Wu back then, and with continuous development, the Sea God Clan’s influence in the Xijiang region is growing larger and larger. Tang Wu no longer needs to use the power of the Sea God Clan to help him build industry.”

"Yes, Tang Wu has completely mastered large-scale mechanical construction. He has many craftsmen working together, and their efficiency is much higher than that of the Sea God Clan... Moreover, after the pollution of the West River was completely resolved, the Sea God Clan returned to their homeland, and with the newly built ghost ships, their dominance at sea has become even more significant."

"Therefore, the current [Manufacturing Association] can still continuously obtain high-quality metals from the deep sea, enabling it to create more advanced industrial civilizations. Such power is extremely important within the strange era."

"Tang Wu's guild is truly remarkable. To achieve such success, one can only imagine that he must be a man of exceptional talent!"

"The Manufacturing Association is too powerful. With such a high-level attack, I don't believe that this Crimson Demon Flower has any chance of turning the tide!"

"Yes, how can the [Manufacturing Association] be so powerful that it can suppress the Crimson Demon Flower like this? Such strength is too terrifying. It is not something that the [Manufacturing Association] should have."

"There's nothing we can do. The Manufacturing Association is just too powerful. They're actually suppressing the Crimson Demon Flower so completely. Its third heart is about to shatter."

Just then, a world-destroying black flame appeared in the sky.

The world-destroying black flames continuously struck the dome of the industrial zone, unleashing a deafening roar.

next second.

The dome began to burn, and wisps of annihilating aura seeped in, covering the blood-red demon flower.

Everyone who saw this felt a chill run down their spines.

Everyone sensed that something was amiss. "How is this possible? The aura of world destruction is actually covering the Crimson Demon Flower and being absorbed by it. This is not right!"

Tang Wu frowned slightly and said, "We've reinforced the dome above, but this aura can still seep in. It seems it will pose a significant obstacle to our mission!"

Meanwhile, Chen Ye watched all of this from the sidelines and realized something:

"This must be the will of the Black Sun. It knows that the Crimson Flower is a very important strategic objective and cannot be taken away easily. Therefore, it needs to strengthen the Crimson Flower with even more swift and decisive means so that it can cope with this crisis... However, the Crimson Flower has now had three hearts shattered. If it wants to recover to its original strength, it can only rely on the flames of the Black Sun to strengthen itself."

Just then, the aura emanating from Black Sun began to expand dramatically, and demonic shadows danced behind the Crimson Flower, transforming into an aura as arrogant as a thunder serpent, soaring straight into the heavens.

Chen Ye frowned and said, "This blood-red demon flower, after being enhanced by the Black Sun, is probably not so easy to deal with!"

Wu Nian asked, "Do you need me to help?"

Chen Ye shook his head: "Keep watching. I believe the players are still capable of dealing with the Crimson Demon Flower. After all, with three hearts shattered, the rest will definitely be much easier."

Just then, the black demon flower once again condensed the aura of the black sun, creating several black birds, including a red-skinned zombie wrapped in white bandages, and two black figures, which joined the battlefield, attempting to reverse the current difficult situation.

"This guy seems a bit difficult to deal with!"

Chen Ye frowned slightly: "To be able to create so many Black Sun offspring in such a short time is quite difficult to deal with."

"Not only that, the vines of the Crimson Demon Flower have become even more powerful, as if they have undergone a complete expansion!"

At this moment, the vines of the blood-red demonic flower kept striking the shields erected by the Taoists of Longhu Mountain, producing a series of intense sounds.

The dull thud sent a chill down the spines of all the players.

fine……

With members of the Sunlit Church standing in front, the sinister vines were prevented from spreading to more areas. In this way, the Blood Flower's offensive was limited, and it would not pose too much of a threat to other players.

"We must hold our line!"

One of the bishops of the Church of the Blazing Sun, with a white beard and holding a star staff, stood in front, summoning intense solar flames in an attempt to block out all the evil aura.

"This guy is really difficult to deal with. How can he have such an aura of world destruction seeping in? This aura is truly terrifying!"

Players standing here felt a chill run down their spines; the aura emanating from that crimson demon flower was now almost at the level of a guardian of authority.

As you can imagine, to defeat the Crimson Flower here would be almost like fighting a Guardian of Authority, which would be a huge challenge for all players.

Fortunately, the Crimson Demon Flower is a cobbled-together forbidden object and cannot be compared with a true guardian of authority. Its characteristics are extremely chaotic, lacking any complete sequence, and the power it can unleash is quite limited.

If it's a complete sequence, with different characteristics, and they are all connected and cooperate with each other, while also maintaining a high fighting spirit, then it can defeat all the players present today.

Unfortunately, this crimson demon flower was merely a cobbled-together forbidden object, lacking any real power, and therefore posed no significant threat to the players present.

It was just an instinctive counterattack.

However, due to its enormous size, it cannot move, so it can only summon more monsters to help it move around.

"By continuing to suppress the fire, we can deplete some of the aura of destruction emanating from this monster."

Tang Wu stood on the deck of the airship and immediately gave the order.

At this moment, all the members present realized this and immediately launched a counterattack, continuing to suppress the enemy.

Even though the Crimson Demon Flower absorbed the aura of destruction, it was still not as powerful as imagined. The aura of its rank that it could unleash was still very limited. However, these monsters that had just joined the battlefield also brought considerable trouble to the players!
"Watch out! Those three black birds are attacking our airship. Get fully armed and on high alert! These guys have absorbed the aura of destruction and are close to the sixth level. They're not easy to deal with!"

Tang Wu's gaze sharpened slightly.

The pink-clad girl beside him, holding binoculars, locked onto the position of the three black birds and said, "These guys are only a few hundred meters away from us. If they keep charging, they will break through our lines and get onto our deck!"

"What should I do?"

The players on the airship watched the figures of the three black birds and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Concentrate our firepower immediately and take out these black birds first. We must temporarily abandon the Blood Flower's offensive!"

Tang Wu could only give the order.

Instantly.

The Manufacturing Association unleashed all its firepower, focusing on the direction where the black bird was located.

A line of fire shot out instantly! (End of Chapter)
