The Monster is Coming

Chapter 353 The Overpowered Player, Destiny's Gambling City

The Halberd that Breaks Through the Sands.

The wind howled, and the sandstorm raged across the Gobi Desert like a giant beast.

Several sandstorms connected heaven and earth, like twisted giant pythons winding across the wasteland, causing rock layers to crumble and rubble to be swept into the air and crushed into dust wherever they went.

In this dim, chaotic world, a solitary figure stood suspended in mid-air.

Her long, silvery-white hair billowed in the wind, with starlight shimmering at the ends.

He trod upon a black, malevolent wind manifested from his spiritual power, each step causing ripples in the air like water.

The sand and gravel came like bullets, but were deflected by an invisible force the moment they touched the fabric, turning into fine dust.

More than 100 meters away, a group of "sand erosion" formations are entrenched in the crevices of the rocks.

These monsters resemble lizards, with scorpion tails and six legs, and their carapaces are covered with crystalline protrusions that can absorb energy.

As the nearby winds grew stronger, they sensed danger and raised their heads in unison, their amber compound eyes reflecting the approaching figure.

hiss!
Just as the leading clan king sounded the alarm, a dark, malevolent wind swept in like a giant python.

puff!
The three sand lizards on the outermost ring were about to turn around when their bodies suddenly stiffened.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the carapace.

The next second, they were as if cut by countless invisible blades, instantly exploding into countless pieces of flesh and blood. Before the splattered blood could even land, it was swept into a blood mist by the subsequent attacking wind, and finally turned into a ball of scarlet mist that was absorbed by the attacking figure.

The lizard swarm immediately rioted.

The remaining twenty-odd sand erosion scorpions arched their backs and sprayed corrosive venom from their tails.

But all the poisoned arrows were suspended by an invisible force before they hit the incoming figure, and then all of them were deflected by the suddenly spinning black wind.

And this figure is none other than Minghou, who entered the monster world for the first time in the body of a player.

At this moment, he pointed his index finger, and the seven evil winds suddenly split into dozens of thin ropes, precisely binding the joints of each monster.

With a flick of his wrist, all the sand lizards were lifted into the air like marionettes, their shells making a cracking sound under the pressure of the tightening wind.

Then the five fingers suddenly closed.

Bang!
More than twenty bodies exploded into a rain of blood, which fell in a flurry of dust.

Minghou swept across the crimson mist with the fierce wind, his body automatically absorbing the extracted essence of the mist, his clothes remaining completely unstained.

Behind him, several sand lizards that had narrowly escaped the first wave of attacks had just darted out of the rock crevice when they were already locked onto by the eagle-headed demon of Life Throat, and their heads were then shaved off by wind blades that suddenly erupted from the ground.

In a short while, only the howling of wind and sand remained in the area where the life-or-death situation was located.

At this moment, Minghou raised his hand, and a howling wind swept up the materials left after extraction.

It floats above the palm and rotates, revealing a total of 28 translucent crystals, through which you can see sand-like substances flowing.

This is a unique material produced by sand erosion, and it can be sold for 75 points of sacrificial power in the trading house.

After collecting his earnings and inventory, he chose to list his products directly on the trading platform.

The black, malevolent wind then swirled around him, forming a protective shield, and continued to drift deeper into the heart of the scene.

In the distance, another sand tornado was taking shape, but Minghou remained fearless.

After walking only a few hundred meters, the ground suddenly trembled violently.

Looking up, a sand dune collapsed in the distance, revealing a funnel-shaped crater with a diameter of one kilometer.

Hundreds of sand erosion machines are emerging from the sand layer at the bottom of the pit, and the rustling sound of their six legs digging together creates a piercing noise.

This time, the size of the scorpion group was far greater than before. The leader of the scorpion king was nearly three meters long, with a metallic dark gold carapace and a venom sac at the end of its tail that swelled up like a tumor.

The sand grains at the edge of the giant pit are slowly wriggling, as if countless creatures are moving underground.

The Eagle-Headed Demon activated its perception ability, and its spiritual power instantly spread out, sensing that there were at least a hundred more Sand Erosions active underground.

The crystalline protrusions on their carapace are flashing in sync, constructing special structures underground suitable for survival.

A smile curved her lips, and her long, silvery-white hair danced in the still air.

Instead of taking action, he stood still in mid-air, releasing energy fluctuations to attract more and more sand lizards to emerge from the bottom of the pit.

When the number exceeded three hundred, the leading clan king raised his head and hissed, and all the sand lizards arched their bodies at the same time, and the tips of their scorpion tails shone with a ghostly green light.

shhhhhh!
Hundreds of venomous rays rained down like a storm, weaving a dense web of death in the air.

They attempted to kill him by covering his throat with a barrage of blows.

A deep black light gleamed in Minghou's eyes.

With a wave of his hand, his spiritual power burst forth, resonating with nature and transforming into a jet-black malevolent wind.

The black, malevolent winds surrounding him also spun violently.

The air currents that had been swirling around his feet were now like pebbles thrown into a lake, creating a ring of air currents centered on him.

The sand and gravel on the ground also stopped in mid-air under the pull of an invisible force.

The next second, Minghou opened his arms.

boom!
Endless black evil winds surged from the body, no longer in the form of thin ropes, but transformed into twelve towering pillars.

These malevolent wind pillars, formed from pure spiritual energy, are over ten meters in diameter, with dark patterns visible on their surfaces, and emit a tearing shriek when they rotate.

"rise."

With a soft shout, the twelve wind pillars suddenly tilted, intertwining in mid-air to form a spiraling black tornado.

The funnel-shaped eye of the storm enveloped the entire sand-eroded lizard colony, and the suction generated by the swirling airflow caused the rock layers at the edge of the giant pit to peel away.

The venomous ray aimed at the throat was instantly pulverized upon contact with the malevolent tornado.

The underground, ant-like architectural barriers crumbled like paper, and large amounts of sand were directly sucked out of the sand layer and thrown into the wind column.

Life Throat's fingertips swept forward, using mental power to communicate with the natural elements and issue new commands.

Suddenly the column of wind accelerated its rotation.

Countless black wind blades, invisible to the naked eye, emerged from the originally pitch-black airflow, each containing a sharpness capable of cutting through energy.

More than three hundred sand erosion creatures roared mournfully inside the tornado, trying to blast the wind wall with their tail spikes, but the rebounding wind blades cut off half of their tails.

The energy crystals on the carapace kept flashing, trying to absorb the energy of the wind pillar, but only suffered the excruciating pain of the crystals being forcibly peeled off.

The scene inside the wind pillar was like purgatory.

Smaller sand lizards were instantly shredded into mincemeat upon contact with the wind blades, while slightly larger individuals could not survive more than a few seconds. Their carapace and flesh were peeled away layer by layer, eventually turning into a scarlet mist that flew towards their throats.

The clan king used his last strength to spray out a highly corrosive venom, but it vanished instantly upon contact with the core of the eye of the storm.

His throat hung precariously atop the tornado, his clothes fluttering wildly in the gale.

He looked down at the scene of destruction he had created, his expression utterly calm.

Whenever the crimson mist merged with his body, a look of enjoyment would appear in his eyes.

The wind pillar moved precisely under his mental control, confining all the splattered flesh and blood within its range, without even a drop of blood splashing onto the sand outside.

Just then, the sandstorm that had formed in the distance swept in, but when it was about a hundred meters away from the throat, it was shaken into a dissipated stream of air by the evil wind tornado.

Before long, the three hundred sand lizards below, along with their clan leader, were completely shredded into energy mist.

Minghou slowly closed his arms, and the wind pillar immediately contracted, swirling back around his body as if it had a life of its own.

After the battle ended, Minghou looked up into the depths of the Gobi Desert, where even stronger fluctuations of qi and blood were drawing him in.

The black, malevolent wind beneath his feet suddenly gathered, propelling him into a streak of black lightning that pierced through the swirling yellow sand, leaving only the gradually subsiding howl of the wind behind him.

The flight was pleasant and comfortable.

He's already a player, so even if a powerful expert at the God Realm suddenly appeared, he wouldn't be afraid in the slightest.

They even dared to give him the middle finger, just like other players.

Once he became a player, his minimum standard was already locked.

As forum users would say: "An hour later, I'll still be a hero."

During the flight, he brought up the function panel and tapped the "Newbie Level Ranking".

Instantly, the activity rankings appeared in his mind.

[Newbie Level Ranking]:
Time remaining: 9 days, 2 hours, and 38 minutes.

First Place: Throat of Rebellion (Overall Soul Level: 32.3847%)
Second place: Having another hungry dream (Overall Soul Level: 13.2737%)
Third place: Played so hard I forgot to sleep (Overall Soul Level 13.1823%)
……

His overall life spirit level has far surpassed that of other players.

This also includes his own clansmen.

On the list, you can see many game names that are most likely from members of the same clan.

His method of rapid leveling up came from a deeper level of mental power utilization.

Before entering the game, he checked many player guides.

The player's use of their abilities is still at a basic level, like wielding a planet-destroying cannon and swinging it at the opponent as if it were a melee weapon.

This applies to all aspects except for directly using rule characteristics.

For example, the transformation and use of mental energy.

Magic-based players generally view Spirit Power simply as a mana bar, used to unleash the Life Soul trait.

It's like a high-pressure water gun that only knows how to press the trigger and spray, but doesn't know how to adjust the water flow.

The only somewhat clever trick was suggested by a player with the game ID "Rebirth and Still Can't Beat," who proposed using mental energy to convert into telekinesis.

This is an advanced way of using mental power.

It is possible to precisely control the attachment of mental energy to all matter by projecting mental energy outwards, which is equivalent to learning to use high-pressure water flow to turn it into a water jet to cut metal.

But in essence, it is still a straightforward and extensive approach.

The most correct way to use it is to let spiritual power resonate with heaven and earth, so as to promote the convergence of natural elements in the monster world.

This way, you can conserve your mental energy during battle and amplify the power of your mental energy manifested as elements.

The evil wind it uses is an elemental energy naturally generated by the resonance of spiritual power.

The soul embedded in the player's body is essentially a primordial monster, part of the monster world's framework. It grants the player pure and flawless blood and spirit, allowing them to easily resonate perfectly with the elements of the monster world.

The process of him generating the evil wind with his mental power was incredibly smooth, requiring only a single thought.

This smoothness even surpassed that of another body at the demigod level.

With the help of the fierce wind, it can transform into a "group damage magic user" with area-of-effect attacks, easily and quickly slaughtering low-level monsters in this area to grow stronger.

But that alone is not enough.

He wanted to hunt more powerful monsters to help him grow stronger quickly.

There will be many more places where sacrificial power will be needed in the future.

First, the rules in the backpack and baggage need to be unlocked and made into a special life soul, which requires 115 million sacrificial power.

Secondly, there are expenditures on basic upgrades such as opening star vein slots, cultivating combat skills, purchasing life souls, and expanding backpack and baggage capacity.

After that, he will need start-up capital to build a new force.

As a member of the player faction, he naturally cannot separate himself from the player group. The so-called power refers to the business model that is dependent on the player faction.

Just like the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, it is backed by the player faction and can also make profits from the outside world.

The power he wanted to build already had a name in mind: Destiny Casino.

Before entering the game, he meticulously planned out the specific implementation scheme.

To build a gambling city in the monster world, there are two core issues that need to be addressed.

The first question is how to maintain neutrality in a dog-eat-dog world.

The concept of neutrality does not exist in essence.

In the monster world, it's all about either you eating me or me eating you; strength is the only true and universally accepted principle.

If Destiny Casino wants to establish itself, it must possess a deterrent force that will make all those who covet it hesitate to enter.

He clearly cannot do that.

Even with the entire Destiny Clan as their backer, other powerful clans would not give them any face.

The higher-dimensional deities behind the player faction would not care about his thoughts or offer him any support.

Therefore, the crisis of powerful clans coming to plunder at any time is unavoidable.

This is fundamentally different from the Gold Coin Merchants Guild.

The Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce's development model is a platform for exchanging benefits, providing a safe trading channel for all ethnic groups.

As long as foreign tribes have profitable exchanges with the Gold Coin Merchants Association and can obtain resource conversion channels from the Gold Coin Merchants Association, all forces will spontaneously protect the security of the Gold Coin Merchants Association and help it maintain its neutral status.

Even so, there is still the threat of being attacked by external forces.

Destiny Casino, on the other hand, does not generate profits from external sources. It merely provides a platform where one can win big with a small investment, and its value in all aspects is far inferior to that of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild.

There is absolutely no guarantee of safety, and even gamblers who are blinded by greed can be a driving force that destroys the casino of fate.

The second core issue is how to establish a stable customer base cycle.

The equivalent game approach can indeed bring potentially high profits to the foreign races that come to play, but it may also cause serious losses to the other side.

In the monster world, powerful races coexist, and many races survive in the cracks.

Every resource should be used for racial development.

If Destiny Casino simply provides gambling, it won't be able to retain customers.

Unless absolutely necessary, it is unlikely that any ethnic group would risk their entire fortune on an uncertain future.

Because the cost of losing far outweighs the accelerated development that comes with winning.

Therefore, in terms of its business model, Destiny Casino faces the challenge of acquiring customers.

Only those groups who have reached the end of their rope and are utterly desperate will come to the City of Destiny to gamble on a potential possibility.

These two questions have troubled Minghou for a long time.

Finally, he found the answer at the Gold Coin Merchants Guild.

The Dream Island, managed by the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, sees a massive influx of visitors every day, with caravans from various races negotiating cooperation, purchasing supplies, and exchanging resources on the island... its scale is growing day by day.

While carrying out their official duties on the island, these alien forces would also travel around to check on the trading activities in other regions.

As a purely commercial platform, the Gold Coin Merchant Guild has not yet developed any projects that provide entertainment for alien races.

He can pay a portion of the profits to the Gold Coin Merchants Association as a cooperation fee, making Destiny Casino an affiliated entertainment area on Dream Island.

In this way, the casino no longer needs to maintain its neutrality, and is completely bound to the Gold Coin Merchants Association.

It can also receive spontaneous support from the Mist Clan and even other races.

Even the most greedy outsiders would have to weigh the cost of making an enemy of the Gold Coin Merchants Guild. Like a parasitic vine in the desert, it clings to the branches of a giant tree, using its shade to avoid the wind and sand, and drawing nutrients from its roots.

The Gold Coin Merchant Guild's traffic is the best customer base.

There is another advantage to opening a casino on Dream Island.

It can also bring profits to the Gold Coin Merchants Association.

If Future Destiny Casino wants to get on the right track, it would be best to set a uniform betting pool.

The Gold Coin Merchants Association can exchange chips for gamblers at any time, taking on a role similar to a pawnshop.

Resources are recycled at a lower price and given to gamblers who urgently need gambling funds, along with corresponding resource chips.

The Gold Coin Merchant Guild is the largest resource processing platform; any resource can be quickly converted into energy crystals in their hands.

In this way, the Gold Coin Merchants Guild can also profit from the development of the Destiny Casino.

The core of this model is to completely transform the Destiny Casino into a supporting facility of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild.

In the early stages, various entertainment projects or free benefits can be set up to gradually attract trade envoys from different races to play a few rounds at the City of Destiny while waiting for transactions or during breaks.

Once the habit is formed, the City of Destiny can continuously generate profits, just like the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, including the additional benefits brought by the rule-derived energy.

Having developed to this point, Destiny Casino, under the wing of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild, can quietly complete its transformation from a peripheral entertainment venue to an integral part of a profitable ecosystem.

It is far more secure to rely on an existing ecosystem of interests than to build an ecosystem from scratch.

In the future, the Gold Coin Merchants Association will also make the entire business ecosystem more complete due to the entertainment projects derived from the Destiny Casino.

Perhaps in the future, many members of other races will initially arrive at Dream Island with the goal of visiting the City of Destiny.

These alien races may not have had any dealings with the Gold Coin Merchant Guild originally, but after they came to the island to participate in the gambling city activities, they inevitably came into contact with the various businesses of the Gold Coin Merchant Guild.

For example, when exchanging gambling chips, they will learn about the Gold Coin Merchant Guild's resource recycling and exchange mechanism.

While waiting for the results of the betting, you'll notice the numerous trade advertisements posted by the Gold Coin Merchants Association throughout the gambling city.

Over time, these alien races, who initially came for entertainment, may also develop trade cooperation with the Gold Coin Merchant Guild and gradually become its stable customers.

This will bring more business growth to the Gold Coin Merchants Association and make the entire business ecosystem more active.

This plan will allow the Gold Coin Merchants Guild and the Destiny Casino to mutually benefit each other.
The business plan in my mind is complete, except for the resources needed to build the Destiny Casino in the early stages, as well as the expenses for free welfare activities in the early stages.

This gave him the idea of ​​returning to his tribe's territory as soon as possible and seeking resources from his tribesmen.

But before that, he has to win the 100 million sacrificial power reward for first place on the leaderboard of this newbie leveling event.

During the flight, Lifethroat's gaze once again locked onto a group of migrating monsters.

The figure, enveloped in a black, malevolent wind, plummeted downwards.

……

What Life Throat didn't know was...

He has become the focus of heated discussion on player forums.

Whether they are veteran players or spectators, they are used to the fact that every round of recruitment will feature a few overpowered players.

For example, the character "Reborn and Still Can't Beat" appeared in the last round of recruitment.

Another example is "The Great Emperor," who appeared in the previous round of recruitment.

These cheaters level up at a speed that other newbies can only dream of.

However, the leveling speed of the cheat character "Throat of Fate" that appeared in this round of recruitment has exceeded the limits of players' understanding.

On the very first day of the server launch, the overall life spirit level actually reached level 32.

What's even more terrifying is that the leveling speed continues to skyrocket, leaving other new players feeling powerless every time they open the event leaderboard.

Let alone catching up, it's already difficult enough to avoid falling further behind.

During this time, some players who happened to be there filmed a video.

In the video, the silver-haired figure swept across the desolate Gobi Desert like a grim reaper, accompanied by a black, malevolent wind. Wherever he passed, sand dunes crumbled and monsters howled.

Without the aid of a vehicle, it can still ride the wind at a speed comparable to that of a flying vehicle.

The speed at which it can unleash area-of-effect attacks is even faster than that of a player team.

This ten-second video caused a huge uproar on the forum.

The comment section was filled with exclamations from players:
"I just finished hunting monsters with my team and leveled up to level 8. I casually opened the leaderboard and immediately started questioning my existence... Is this cheating? Isn't the system going to ban me?"

"It's confirmed that the bug is real. The soul that controls the wind of nature doesn't have a corresponding soul in the existing soul database. The only one that matches is the Wind Control of the Strange Butterfly. But the problem is that the Strange Butterfly hasn't been contained yet. StarNet, you need to take a look. This player is cheating without any restraint. He's even at the top of the leaderboard. Shouldn't you do something about it?"

"I've reported it 100 times, but the guide has ignored me. Is the cheating so rampant that no one cares?"

"Is this a newbie? If it weren't for the fact that Monster World doesn't have any bugs or cheats yet, I would suspect that this is a system bug that has come to life."

"Brothers upstairs, stop trembling. Last time, when Rebirth Bro topped the list, you all said it was because he was cheating. Then Rebirth Bro himself posted to explain and even taught you how to use telekinesis. I saw through your thoughts long ago. You seem to be shouting to prove he's cheating, but actually you want the Throat of Destiny to post so you can steal his techniques. Do you think I don't understand what you're thinking? Loud voices are useless. Not everyone will tolerate you. (Explorer rests his chin on his hand in deep thought, having already seen through everything.jpg)"

……

Minghou was completely unaware of the situation on the forum.

By this time, he had already blocked the friend-adding function, and even the regional channel had been blocked.

Right now, I just want to focus on hunting and earn my first bit of start-up capital.

The only thing I pay attention to is the activity rankings that I glance at occasionally.

His number one position is now unshakeable.

Looking at the rankings, the main purpose is to see where each member of the clan is positioned.

As time went on, the clansmen who might have been stuck near the starting village and hadn't yet made their move had already begun a fierce pursuit.

It is certain that the 32 qualified members of the tribe will not be hindered by any particularly bad luck.

They can basically make it into the top 50 of this event's leaderboard.

After the event ends, perhaps he can squeeze some more sacrificial power out of the clansmen who received the event rewards.

It's unclear what happened to these clansmen who harbored resentment before.

Whether or not you still acknowledge him as the person whose fate you are, and whether you cooperate with his demands.

After becoming players, the clansmen also gained absolute freedom.

The bonds that were once based on blood ties have long since vanished.

Rather than his clansmen, they were more like thirty-one fellow travelers who shared a common origin, culture, and historical understanding.

This idea is not unfounded.

The Fate Clan has a very unique development model; its members are all solitary itinerant merchants rather than a close-knit clan.

In the world of monsters, each member of the Fate race traveled to different regions of the Pale Continent, and even to other continents.

They acquire resources through equivalent bargaining and, although they have established a spiritual exchange network centered on the rules of fate, they rarely contact each other.

What holds their relationship together, besides blood ties, is the threat from the outside world.

Only by banding together can we survive in a dog-eat-dog world.

But now, everything has changed.

Once you become a player, the Fate Clan no longer need to rely on their clan for survival.

They can freely explore the monster world, death is not the end, and even obtaining the power of the rules is no longer an insurmountable barrier.

All the factors that once united them can no longer bind them.

Therefore, it is meaningless to use the authority of the person whose destiny is at stake to suppress it.

But he believed that those of the same lineage who were willing to follow him back then would follow him in another way even after becoming players.

When the City of Destiny opens, all the people who follow them will benefit from it.

Without giving these questions a second thought, Minghou's gaze once again locked onto a group of prey.

Instantly, the fierce winds surrounding him roared like angry dragons, turning the entire Gobi Desert into a boiling sea.

His figure shot through the air, his long silver hair dancing in the gale.

With a wave of his hand, a fierce gust of wind swept down towards the sand dunes below.

Dense wind blades composed of swirling particles destroyed the sand dunes, revealing a large number of monsters emerging from beneath them.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that these were a group of Rock Armored Earth Dragons with a hunting level of around 23. They were covered in crystalline armor and were enormous in size.

The five fingers on Minghou's hand slowly closed.

He clenched his fist, and the three malevolent winds in the air suddenly condensed into drill shapes, spinning and shooting towards the whirlwind.

puff!puff!puff!
The earth dragon's indestructible rock armor was instantly pierced, and the Fiery Wind Drill exploded inside its body.

The crystalline shell shattered from the inside like inferior glass, spraying out dozens of meters along with fragments of internal organs.

Turning his gaze to the other fleeing Rock Armored Earth Dragons, the Fiend Wind formed a net according to the will of Life Throat.

Three rock-armored earth dragons that attempted to leap up and attack crashed into the wind net, causing the evil wind particles to spin at high speed.

Their bodies were worn away and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they completely disappeared and turned into mist.

In the blink of an eye, the net of malevolent winds contracted downwards, shredding swathes of rock-armored earth dragons into a cloud of blood mist.

The largest of these, the Rock Armored Earth Dragon, had a hunting level of 32 and was able to resist the fierce winds.

Minghou raised his hand and condensed the evil wind, transforming it into a giant palm that struck towards it.

boom!
Before the giant rock-armored earth dragon could even close its gaping maw, it was engulfed by a fierce wind and exploded into a bloody firework.

Killing the enemy, collecting materials, listing the item on the auction house... the whole process was over in less than a minute.

Challenger prompts kept ringing in my mind.

His Eagle-Headed Demon Soul level has increased once again.

In an instant, a warm torrent of energy burst forth from deep within the space between the eyebrows, washing over every nerve like a spring stream.

The pupils of the patient's throat contracted involuntarily.

With its perception continuously activated, the Eagle-Headed Demon's range of perception expanded rapidly, and the entire world became clearer in its mind.

The trajectory of sand grains rolling in the wind, the vibrations caused by the crawling of sandworms underground, the different energy particles floating in the air... everything within the range of perception is clearly visible.

Even more wonderful is the feeling of physical transformation.

The player's body was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and now, with the attribute boost brought by the level increase, every inch of flesh and blood was cheering with joy.

Like a parched riverbed suddenly receiving sweet rain, the flesh and blood within greedily absorbed the feeling of fullness that surged into the body.

He then brought up the Star Pulse panel.

The third star vein slot was opened by spending 2000 points of sacrificial power.

The first two star veins are inlaid with Eagle-Headed Demon and Qi-Eating Spirit, both of which can provide a boost to mental power.

For his third life soul, he still chose a second-tier life soul that focused on spiritual power growth: Thunderclap.

The price is 3000 points of sacrificial power.

After completing the inlay, Minghou raised his right hand, attempting to integrate the effects of the Thunderclap attribute into the malevolent wind generated by his spiritual power.

The surrounding aura of malevolent energy suddenly surged, and countless tiny bolts of lightning exploded on its surface, transforming into blue-black interwoven lightning snakes.

Each time it spat out a tongue, it tore blue-purple electric traces through the air.

Gravel within a radius of 100 meters was attracted by an invisible electric field, suspended in mid-air and trembling violently.

The intensity of mental energy release has increased.

The pitch-black wind and azure lightning intertwined rapidly, transforming into countless wind and lightning pythons wrapped in arcs of electricity, which moved under the control of consciousness, tearing out spiderweb-like lightning marks.

As the intensity increased again, a vortex of malevolent wind formed beneath his feet.

Unlike before, the wind pillar was now wreathed in spiraling lightning, with black wind blades and blue-purple lightning alternately cutting through the air.

When the fierce wind and thunder beneath his feet reached their peak, his long, silvery-white hair was tinged with blue-purple.

Each breath can trigger a resonance between lightning and malevolent energy.

With a flick of his fingertips, a "Fierce Wind and Thunder Arrow" shot out.

As the arrow traversed a distance of 100 meters, the air along its path was ionized, leaving a pale blue trail.

As soon as a sandworm lizard with no hunting level raised its head, its flesh and blood were ignited by the lightning contained in the arrow tip. Its entire body swelled into a sphere in the bright light, and then was completely torn apart by the fierce wind.

The splattered fragments of flesh and blood still bore the power of lightning, scorching black marks on the sand.

Preliminary tests show that Lifethroat is very satisfied with the effect of Thunder's properties.

In the monster world, only a very small number of factions are capable of combining and using the effects of rules.

And he is now one of them.

The Star Vein System was a path to heaven that he had never dared to dream of before, with unlimited potential to be explored.

One can imagine how happy one's future will be.

Combined with various rules, a powerful star vein system is formed... This is much better than the feeling of having strength but being constantly constrained by unknown threats.

……

three days later.

Life Throat has reached level 43.

His ranking on the activity leaderboard has far surpassed that of all other players who qualified on the same day.

At this moment, on the edge of the desert, Minghou transformed into a bolt of lightning and swept across the Gobi Desert.

The sandstorm completely obscured the view ahead, making it impossible to discern directions or see anything clearly.

Even from the perspective of perception, all you see are dancing grains of sand.

During the flight, Minghou suddenly sensed a familiar aura rapidly approaching him.

He stopped flying at that moment and began to fall downwards.

As soon as I landed, I saw a blurry figure emerge from the swirling sandstorm.

Then a voice rang in its ear.

"I am a merchant of equal value games. Do you have any wishes you wish to have fulfilled? All your desires can come true here... Hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped.

The figure that had passed through the sandstorm finally saw Minghou's appearance, and the pupils beneath the silver mask suddenly contracted.

The life force I just sensed and the familiar figure before me couldn't match up at all.

　Here it is, 8300 words~
