Changing Life And Career? I Planted The World Tree At The Beginning

Demon Dragon's first main city.

Li Wei and Min Hongyi, along with the World Alliance team, took a tour of the empty city.

Finally, everyone gathered on the city wall of Demon Dragon City.

"Boss, where do we go now?"

A World Alliance candidate couldn't help but quietly ask Yuan Xiao.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Yuan Xiao rolled her eyes.

After a while, Liu Huang spoke up, "In theory, our mission to gather military intelligence is complete, and we can go back to collect our rewards. However, the result is a bit..."

"A bit ridiculous," Min Hongyi interrupted, "A grand main city like this, how can there be no one inside? Where did all the NPCs go? Did they all die?"

"Even if they all died, there should be some signs of battle!" Li Wei also spoke up, "Look, the city is so well-preserved, it doesn't look like it has been captured."

"I'm telling you guys, stop discussing it," Yuan Xiao frowned, "Either continue forward and explore the direction of the second main city, or go back and turn in the mission. What do you think?"

"Wait!" Li Hao suddenly became serious and raised his arm.

"Everyone, stop talking!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped discussing and looked at Li Hao.

"Do you feel it?" Li Hao said with a serious expression.

"What?" Yuan Xiao grabbed Li Hao's arm and looked up cautiously, "Has something happened?"

"The ground is shaking - look!"

Li Hao pointed to a flag hanging on Demon Dragon City.

At this moment, the flagpole was trembling at an extremely fast frequency.

"Is it an earthquake?"

Liu Huang looked around.

"The similarity between the instance world and the real world is very high, and various natural phenomena can also occur."

"No," Li Hao shook his head, "Something is approaching."

"A large number of them!"

"Follow me!"

With that, Li Hao shot out like an arrow.

The others quickly followed.

Following Li Hao, the group circled around the city wall and arrived at the opposite wall.

"It's that direction -"

Li Hao pointed in the direction outside the city wall.

"That direction leads to the depths of Demon Dragon's second main city?"

"If it's a large-scale cavalry operation, it is possible to cause this kind of vibration," Liu Huang said solemnly.

"Could it be that the NPCs of Demon Dragon's first main city have all gathered in the second main city and are now coming back?" Yuan Xiao looked confused, "But even if they had a mobilization meeting before the war, would they really leave no one behind?"

"Let's observe first and be ready to retreat at any time!" Li Hao took a deep breath, "See what is coming, and as soon as you see it, retreat without hesitation."

The group fell silent, took out their Book of Crests, exchanged teleportation crests, and then stared intently at the distance.

As the ground tremors grew stronger, a noisy and chaotic sound emerged from the distance.

After about ten seconds, a black wave appeared on the horizon.

That black wave approached from afar, and only then did everyone see that the black wave was actually a large group of densely packed monsters.

There were large beasts, as well as humanoid monsters like the people of Northrend, ogres, and half-beasts.

Leading the charge at the forefront were dozens of powerful boss units!

Upon seeing this scene, Li Wei swallowed his saliva and calmly activated the teleportation emblem.

A few seconds later, while everyone was still immersed in the shock of the chaotic scene, Li Wei had already finished teleporting back to the city.

"Everyone, take your time to watch. I'll take a step ahead."

After saying that, he disappeared into a white pillar of light.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and teleport!"

Min Hongyi also followed suit and teleported away.

Only then did the people from World Alliance wake up from their daze and began teleporting back to the city.

...

Live broadcast room of the National Exam Ranking Tournament.

"What the hell is this? The legendary monster siege?"

"All those monsters belong to the Demon Dragon side. There's no way they would attack the Demon Dragon main city!"

"I know! I know why there are no monsters in Demon Dragon City! The ultimate boss must have gathered the monsters, preparing for a decisive battle against the kingdom!"

"That's right, it must be! Maybe even the Snowfield Giant City knew about Demon Dragon's actions and the people inside left, preparing for the final battle!"

The two hosts in the live broadcast room were also stunned by this scene.

However, they dared not respond to the barrage of comments.

After all, this was a highly-rated program aimed at the Soaring Dragon Empire, and even the entire Blue Star.

If they said something wrong or made a wrong prediction, it would be a huge embarrassment.

"Will the Demon Dragon side gather all the monsters for the final battle?" Little Tuanzi grabbed the examiner's collar and asked fiercely in a low voice, "You've tested it so many times, don't tell me you don't know!"

"We really don't know?" The examiner was at a loss.

The entire process of the instance had been repeated countless times before the exam.

But the process was just the process.

The impact of the examinees on the progress of the instance was too great.

Putting 200,000 examinees into the instance was like putting 200,000 Huskies. No one could predict what actions they would take and what consequences they would cause.

First of all, there was definitely no problem with the instance progress.

So the reason for the series of Anomaly events could only be the examinees.

However, in the ranking board instance, every main city of the Horadric Kingdom had a permanent observation angle, and most of the examinees' actions were within the observation range.

There was simply no one who could make such earth-shattering actions.

All the NPCs in two main cities disappeared, and all the monsters in the Demon Dragon's territory gathered and charged together.

Could the examinees really do such a thing?

Even the examiners who were familiar with the instance process couldn't figure out the principle behind it.

"Forget it, quickly focus the camera on World Alliance. They will definitely react!"

...

Whether it was the people from World Alliance, the audience in the live broadcast room, or the examiners observing the instance, none of them noticed that among the wave of thousands of monsters, there were still a few human figures.

To be precise, there were two humans and thousands of highly anthropomorphic plant creatures.

Chen Yu sat comfortably on a giant lily petal, while Delia knelt behind him, earnestly massaging his shoulders.

He had spent the whole day transporting the bosses and elite monsters from the Snowfield Giant City to the Demon Dragon's territory.

Then he gathered all the monsters in the Demon Dragon's territory and led them in a grand march towards the Horadric Kingdom, preparing to attack and conquer the city.

Unlike Demon Dragon City and the two hidden map forces, the Horadric Kingdom was not easy to infiltrate with the Earth Banishment Curse + plant creatures method.

So Chen Yu simply gathered his forces and declared war directly, going for a head-on confrontation!
