The Monster is Coming

Chapter 39 Evil Spirit
Imperial Tomb Mountains, northern part.

A bottomless ravine seemed like a natural moat that divided the earth into two. The nearby land was covered with sticky filaments. A pitch-black tower rose from the ravine and reached the sky.

A huge dark red eye was suspended above the top of the tower, flashing a faint light from time to time, monitoring any movement nearby.

On the platform at the top of the tower, a humanoid figure stood with his arms folded across his chest. It was more than two meters tall, with dark red skin, as if repeatedly burned by flames. Its eyes were sunken into its eye sockets, like two balls of burning charcoal, filled with violence and destructive aura.

"It's the breath of a soldier from the Counter Tide Legion."

At this moment, a crack appeared on the Eye of Insight hanging above its head, and a hoarse voice came from inside.

"What is the origin of the Counter-Tide Legion?" the evil humanoid creature said indifferently.

"According to the intelligence shared with me by other nodes, this is a powerful army composed of warriors who have abandoned their faith. Their leader is called Nichao, and they are one of the biggest obstacles for our race to occupy this world."

"Abandon your faith?"

In response to the question, the man with dark red eyes immediately explained:
"You just came from the dungeon world and don't know the background of this world. According to the information shared with me by other nodes, this world once had a powerful god named Emperor Omen. He was the true god believed by all life in this world... He fell for some unknown reason. The Tide Reverse Legion was established thousands of years after Emperor Omen fell. Its original purpose was to fight against us. The soldiers of the Tide Reverse Legion believed that Emperor Omen had abandoned them, so they chose to abandon their faith and respect the Tide Reverse Legion."

"What a boring belief." A hint of disdain appeared in the evil warrior's eyes.

"Don't underestimate the warriors of the Against Tide Legion. Our warriors distributed in other nodes have fought against them many times and did not have much advantage. The life intensity of this world is not comparable to the dungeon world you helped occupy before. Put away your contempt." The dark red eyes reminded solemnly.

The evil warrior ignored the evil eye's persuasion and swept his gaze towards the bloody plains of the Emperor's Tomb Mountains. The black mucus gushing out of his body wrapped around his body and condensed into a hideous armor. There was a sharp black thorn standing on every joint.

"I'll try."

As soon as he finished speaking, the evil warrior turned into a dark streak of light that streaked across the sky and rushed straight towards the bloody plain.

……

Northern part of the Bloody Plains.

Duan Xing looked at the players who were sneaking around in the distance, poking their heads out, waiting for him to kill the evil players. He had a blank expression on his face and didn't even have the urge to rush up and kill them.

So far, he has no idea how many he has killed, as he simply cannot kill them all.

Sitting on the ground, he had already started thinking about a problem.

Should I give up the trial and leave here?

Self-esteem and frustration collided in his mind, and Duan Xing couldn't help but sigh dejectedly.

He wanted to persist, but he didn't know how to continue.

This group of mysterious creatures dug deep into the ground even where he had been, so it was impossible for them to save enough evil crystals to complete the trial.

Although the rune armor on his body has the function of recording information, it can prove that he has killed a large number of evil creatures, enough to complete the trial mission.

However, the inspectors never refer to the content of the battle records, but only judge the completion of the assessment based on the number of evil crystals harvested. If there is setback in the process such as the loss of evil crystals, it is also regarded as part of the assessment content.

Just as Duan Xing was thinking hard, he suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of power, and then he suddenly looked up towards the northwest sky.

He saw a ball of black light carrying a strong aura of death rushing towards him.

"Evil spirit?!"

Realizing that the one attacking him was an intelligent evil creature, Duan Xing's expression became extremely solemn.

He stood up suddenly and pressed his hand to his left chest.

Click~click~click.

The sound of gears meshing was heard, and the rune armor on his body suddenly lit up. The surging energy rippled outward with him as the center.

The messy blue hair danced in the wind under the energy, and two sharp blades quickly condensed and extended from the back of the hands.

boom!
The evil spirit warrior landed in front of Broken Star, raising gravel and dust that spread all around.

When the dust settled, the evil warrior revealed his ferocious appearance, staring directly at Duan Xing with slightly crazy eyes.

bass!
Broken Star's two energy blades were also condensed at this time.

When the two figures met, there was no nonsense. They moved at the same time and disappeared from the spot, colliding in the center.

The figures staggered apart.

The evil spirit warrior looked down at the blade scratch on his chest, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and his body suddenly moved sideways at this moment, avoiding the blade's next slash at a dangerous angle. After twisting his body, he kicked the approaching Duan Xing away with a side kick, and then followed closely.

boom!
The sharp blade in Duanxing's hand collided with the evil spirit warrior's arm guard, sparks flying everywhere.

A thick aura of death swept over, and Duan Xing suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

"kill!"

Facing the violent attack of the evil spirit warrior, Duan Xing's eyes were burning with fighting spirit. This was not his first time fighting against evil spirits, but the evil spirit in front of him was different from the evil spirits he had fought before. Both his fighting skills and his body's self-healing ability were several times stronger.

The wounds left by his sharp blade on the evil spirits would be repaired quickly, but the wounds on his body increased in number.

The light emitted by the armor became dim after continuous collisions. After more than ten minutes of high-frequency collisions, Duan Xing gradually lost its strength.

boom!
At this moment, the evil spirit warrior's heavy fist penetrated the defensive gap created by the double-edged sword and hit his chest heavily. Duan Xing was thrown backwards and coughed up blood. After landing, he continued to roll under inertia, raising a wave of dust before stopping his retreat.

Just as Duan Xing gritted his teeth and prepared to fight again, a pitch-black figure pierced through the flying dust, attacked with a knee strike, and hit him hard in the chest.

Two black spikes pierced through the armor's defense and pierced into the chest.

boom!
Duan Xing's body sank into the mud, and his eyes, which had been emitting red light, briefly turned back to pure white.

Just when Duan Xing was in a trance, the rune armor seemed to be activated by some force, and the energy spring on the left chest automatically turned.

Suddenly, a surge of energy burst out from the armor, knocking the grinning evil spirit warrior away. The energy that continued to overflow surrounded Duan Xing's body, quickly repairing his injuries.

Duan Xing stood up again with increasing momentum.

Feeling the new power, Duan Xing's eyes showed a hint of astonishment:
"Father."

The evil spirit warrior attacked again, and Duan Xing decisively met him, summoning the sharp blade again to collide with the evil spirit warrior's fist.

boom!
In the successive collisions, energy ripples spread outwards with the place where they fought as the center.

After recovering from his injuries, Duan Xing's strength has obviously improved a lot, but he is still at a disadvantage in the fight with the evil spirit warriors. There is a big gap between them in both fighting skills and strength.

After an hour of fierce fighting, Duan Xing turned into a bloody man, with multiple wounds on his body bursting open. His standing posture was shaky, and it seemed that he would fall down at any time.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at the evil spirit warrior was still filled with endless fighting spirit.

On the other hand, the situation of evil spirit warriors is also not optimistic.

The black armor that could be quickly repaired was now covered with cracks, and his left arm was broken and hung on his left shoulder, unable to continue healing.

boom!
Duan Xing, who was no longer able to continue fighting, fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, a hideous smile appeared on the corner of the evil spirit warrior's mouth. He waved his hand to condense a black thorn, and slowly walked to Duanxing and stood still.

Just as the black thorn in his hand was about to pierce Duan Xing's face, a voice suddenly sounded:
"ridicule!"

Along with the shouting, the memories of the evil spirits automatically combine and weave together.

A strong hatred surged from the bottom of his heart, and the black thorn that was stabbing at Duanxing turned uncontrollably and stabbed in the direction where the sound came from.

But the inexplicable hatred lasted only less than a second before it was broken free by the evil spirit warrior's will. Under its surprised expression, a fat figure was cut into a black mist by the black thorn in his hand and dissipated.

"Rule power?"

Just as the evil spirit was about to turn around and deal with Duan Xing first, another voice came from behind:

"Hey, look at me!"

Hatred came again, and the evil spirit turned around uncontrollably, throwing the black thorn in his hand behind his back with infinite hatred.

The target was killed with just one strike, but new hatred emerged from the bottom of his heart, causing him to subconsciously turn his head to look at a figure not far away.

Meanwhile, regional voice channels and player forums have exploded:

"Brothers, requesting support, the God of Wealth is about to die, come and rescue him quickly, we can't hold on any longer!"

"Calling brothers from all regions to come to support urgently (attached: coordinates and location). If the God of Wealth is gone, who will give you red envelopes in the future?"

"Fuck, is the God of Wealth really going to die? I strongly disagree. I still want to rely on the God of Wealth to open the third star vein, but he must not die. Bring the brothers here right away. Brothers nearby, hold on for me, come on!"

"No, I haven't received any red envelopes from the God of Wealth yet. He must not die. Protect him, protect him!"

……

The news that the God of Wealth was about to die instantly caused a stir among the player community.

This week, the wealth brought to them by the God of Wealth allowed many players to open up a second star vein slot.

In their eyes, the God of Wealth is a walking red envelope-giving machine, and they can make a small fortune by meeting him.

Although many players did not receive the welfare red envelopes from the God of Wealth, this does not mean that there will be no chances in the future. If the God of Wealth dies, the chance to receive red envelopes in the future will be completely cut off.

Players who learned the news rushed towards the coordinates.
