Chapter 94 Monsters vs. Humans

When Jiang Fan woke up in the morning, he opened the game screen and saw that everyone had already entered the mountains.

When he logged off last night, he had Ni Yao's cassette tape inserted, and he could just see her team advancing through the woods on the outskirts of Wushan.

The environment in Wushan is different from that of ordinary mountains. Many plants that have disappeared in modern times have reappeared. If some botanists came here, they would probably have to study them for most of their lives.

Thinking this, Jiang Fan went downstairs and bought a basket of steaming hot buns. Anyway, his aunt's house had an internal circulation fresh air system, so even with the closed floor-to-ceiling windows, there wouldn't be any strange smells in the house.

After finishing their meal, they plopped down on the sofa. The two days ago, Tianhai had just ended the pandemic, and all the specialists and agents from both bureaus had been given a short break.

With two days off from work, he could fully immerse himself in playing games.

Jiang Fan nestled comfortably in the soft beanbag chair, feeling blissfully content with this comfortable life.

He was just about to switch to the Wushan interface to receive today's natural spiritual essence when a scarlet notification popped up on the game console screen, taking up half the screen.

[Limited-time area event triggered: Faction defense against monsters versus humans!]

[Event Description: A large number of outsiders have entered the outer area of ​​"Wushan".]

[Defense Mechanism: As the Lord of Wushan, you can mobilize the monsters within the sandbox to defend Wushan. When human forces advance within Wushan, the [Natural Spiritual Energy] and [Incense Faith] of Wushan will increase rapidly!]

[Note: However, if the core area is breached by humans, a huge amount of resources will be deducted; if they are successfully driven out or killed, the base production speed of [Natural Essence] in the Wushan Sandbox under normal conditions will be permanently increased.]

Are there any limited-time events?

Jiang Fan tried to understand the meaning of this regional event. First of all, he couldn't send out too strong monsters, otherwise the human side might find it too difficult to fight and might just retreat.

Then these monsters can't be too weak either; they need to be strong enough to withstand the onslaught of humans in terms of both quality and quantity. Otherwise, if they can be described as costing huge amounts of resources for the game console, he estimates he'd be in debt.

We must keep the situation under our control and delay humanity's stay in Wushan as much as possible.

Very good. If that's the case, then Jiang Fan already has a corresponding plan in mind.

He had played strategy games like Red Alert before, so the way he controlled the regional events was similar. Jiang Fan could directly pull monsters within a certain range and then send them to designated locations for deployment.

If there are hostile units nearby, it will automatically launch an attack on them without Jiang Fan having to control it himself.

Jiang Fan glanced at the number of humans; several hundred were in the full sequence, indicating considerable strength.

Since that's the case, let's send out all the monsters he's been training these past few days, leaving some of the stronger ones as a second line of defense.

The outskirts of Wushan are shrouded in mist and forest.

The rain mixed with miasma made the entire forest extremely oppressive.

More than 30 teams from three cities and two bureaus, totaling nearly 400 people, are making orderly progress through the mud.

The commanders dispatched two-thirds of their forces, led by Su Jianyuan, to enter from the north of Wushan.

Meanwhile, members of the Geography Department will follow the various groups, moving forward in indentation, exploring within the visible range of the group members, recording the terrain and marking hazards.

The entire operation team was like an impenetrable net, gradually eroding the once-hidden Wushan Mountain.

Of course, while this method of advancement is fast, the connections between different parts are not strong. It is a greedy, exploratory approach that is easily disrupted when it encounters obstacles.

"The energy ripples around here feel off; I can't project my senses out. Everyone be careful."

On the flank of the team, a member of the perception-side sequence gave a reminder.

As soon as he finished speaking, a chilling rustling sound suddenly came from the towering ancient trees on both sides, dozens of meters high.

Dozens of dark figures crashed down from the treetops like cannonballs, heading straight for the comrades walking on the outermost edge. They were a group of wild monkeys that were nearly 1.7 meters tall.

"Fire!"

A Tier 1 Night Watchman drew his specially made pistol and fired repeatedly, while simultaneously pulling out his standard steel knife and slashing fiercely at a charging monkey.

Logically speaking, the power of a first-order rank user combined with a specially made steel knife is enough to cut an ordinary beast in two.

However, with a piercing explosion, the steel knife struck the monkey's arm, sending out a long string of sparks!

Under the guidance of the mountain spirit, the monkey had long since shed its mortal form, and a silver-gray mane as hard as metal had grown beneath its skin.

It withstood the blow, let out a roar, and slapped the side of the steel blade with its backhand.

The terrifying force ripped the tiger's mouth off the Tier 1 operator, sending him flying several meters away, sword and all!

"It's a strange phenomenon of the highest grade!"

The commissioner clutched his bleeding arm and cried out in horror.

With the resource cards placed by Jiang Fan, these wild monkeys gradually grew stronger, making it a veritable holy land for the demon race's cultivation, except that they couldn't evolve.

Dozens of monkeys began attacking the commissioners in the jungle, which terrified Jiang Fan.

Wow, its combat power is indeed impressive. It's much stronger than the monsters formed by the restoration of relics, and it really does resemble a demon.

Just as the monkey's attack was being parried, the earth began to tremble violently, as if the poisonous miasma in front of them had been cleaved open by a sharp blade.

With a deafening roar, a dozen tusked boars, each the size of a small armored vehicle, formed a charging formation and surged forward like a steel torrent.

These are D++ level spirits that have been transformed by Jiang Fan a second time. Their steel manes, which are harder than iron armor, even have a faint earthy yellow demonic aura flowing through them.

"Stop them!"

The leader of the third strategy team opened his eyes wide, unleashing the full power of the second-tier [Night Watchman] sequence ability.

He held a talisman in each hand, which floated in the air, and from them condensed more than a dozen black spheres that bombarded the charging pigs.

But the tusked boars, defying the attacks of the second-tier sequence, fiercely broke through the defenses, their thick tusks colliding directly with the two body-enhanced specialists, and began hand-to-hand combat.

At the same time, fist-sized Wushan poisonous bees buzzed in from various caves and tree holes, beginning to sneak up and attack wherever they could.

After advancing several hundred meters, the team finally encountered fierce resistance from the enemy.

Jiang Fan released three groups of demons, attacking from the south, east, and west, leaving only the north side, where the action team had entered, untouched.

This way, even if the demon horde is too strong, they can still leave safely.

However, Jiang Fan was overthinking things. He had only trained a total of seventy or eighty monsters that had undergone secondary enlightenment. Even if he sent out forty or fifty of them at once, it would only be a little troublesome for this special team that was well-prepared and led by several fourth-tier monsters.

The members of [Tianwen] and [Chixiao] were scattered throughout the team, and Su Jianyuan had already made preparations for this, instantly halting the demon horde's offensive.

Tang Jingyu, on the west side, roared angrily, a fierce imperial aura flashing in his eyes.

Qualitative Transformation Technique: A Strong Wind Rises and Clouds Fly High!

He drew his long sword from his waist, and the markings on his right arm suddenly erupted.

A powerful, unstoppable crimson imperial sword aura surged from his body, transforming into a crescent-shaped energy wave tens of meters long, sweeping out with overwhelming force.

Those thick-skinned, fanged boars, impervious even to specially made bullets, were sliced ​​in half like paper before the absolute destructive power of this fourth-tier true name, with blood and severed limbs flying everywhere.

"The road is not smooth, so I turn left, and set my sights on the Western Sea!"

On the south side, Su Jianyuan also activated his skill.

The power of Qu Yuan's fourth-tier words resounded throughout the mountains and forests.

As he uttered the truth, the originally dense and deadly poisonous miasma and the overwhelming swarms of Wushan poisonous bees were, under the powerful influence of his words, like encountering a Category 12 typhoon, and were forcibly pushed hundreds of meters away, clearing out an absolutely safe vacuum zone.

The cooperation between the monsters was directly undermined.

With both fourth-tier captains exerting their power simultaneously, the situation on the battlefield instantly reversed.

However, although they were strong, they did not unleash their full power, after all, they knew that there might be many other powerful demons in this mountain.

Meanwhile, Jiang Fan, watching from outside the screen, was both surprised and delighted as he looked at the resource numbers jumping wildly in the upper right corner.

In just half an hour, several thousand points of [Natural Spiritual Essence] have already been generated!

However, the monsters were killed a little too quickly.

He only had about 1000 of them at most, and he's already lost a couple hundred in the last half hour.

The strength of the fourth-order sequence is still too terrifying; there are at least six or seven of them in these two teams combined.

Moreover, Jiang Fan even let Yin Panqing paddle.

This was the first time he had ever participated in such a limited-time event, which was quite unexpected.

The four-dimensional monsters in the mountains aren't considered particularly strong.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Fan dispatched the monsters he had previously subdued, most of which were of medium to high quality.

Then they pulled the monsters along as they fought and retreated.

As long as you don't enter the core temples that enshrine the mountain spirit, it's fine.

Meanwhile, the people in the mountains and forests grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.

They discovered that these monsters were far more powerful than those brought about by the restoration of ordinary relics, even for items of the same grade.

After fighting for another two or three hours, Jiang Fan was getting hungry and wanted to order lunch when the group finally broke through the outer perimeter.

Arrive at the hillside where the mandrill died.

That's enough; we can't let them advance any further.

Without hesitation, Jiang Fan moved the cursor to the terrifying phantom at the deepest part of the sand table and pressed the "X" key heavily.

"I've decided on you."

In the Wushan Mountains, the sky darkened without warning.

An extremely chilling sensation, enough to send shivers down one's spine, shot straight to the top of everyone's head.

Everyone looked up in horror and saw a huge, demonic bird with a wingspan of over a hundred meters silently blocking out the light in the entire canyon.

It has nine ferocious bird heads, and from the severed neck where the tenth head should be, black, poisonous blood that corrodes everything is constantly dripping.

[Calamity] The ultimate ancient demon, Nine Phoenixes (in Ghost Chariot form), has officially entered the fray!

"Hey——!"

The nine heads simultaneously emitted an extremely piercing howl.

The sound waves transformed into a tangible black storm, instantly causing the earth to tremble and ancient trees around it to fall in droves.

Looking at the terrain data of the outer and middle sections of Wushan that had been collected on the tactical tablet, Su Jianyuan felt that it was almost done.

"The map survey and surrounding reconnaissance data are sufficient! This is a powerful demon that has touched the barrier of the [Robbery] realm; we cannot fight it head-on! Retreat along the safe route we came from!"

Before the words were even finished, the enormous body of the Ghost Chariot, carrying a cloud of poisonous blood, swooped down.

The immense wind pressure caused even ancient trees tens of meters tall to crack.

The crowd stared at the sky in horror. They had never seen anything so bizarre and strange before. The terrifying chill was just like the first time they saw a dead body.

At this time.

Su Jianyuan stepped forward, his brow furrows widening as the exclusive original text of the fourth-tier [Qu Yuan] was unleashed.

"Where has the nine-headed dragon gone?!"

This profound question from "Heavenly Questions" has become a shackle of the laws of heaven and earth.

As the incantation fell, the enormous body of the Ghost Chariot, as large as a mountain, experienced a strange lag in its semi-state.

The surrounding space seemed to have transformed into sticky glue, forcibly freezing the nine-headed demon bird in mid-air.

"Walk!"

The team quickly and orderly withdrew from the area.

However, during this tense retreat, an unexpected change occurred.

Wang Yixin, who was running in the middle of the group, suddenly collapsed straight into the mud as if his bones had been drained.

He let out a bloodcurdling scream that was not human at all, and dug his hands into his face as if he wanted to tear his skin off.

"Wang Yixin? What's wrong with you? Let's go!"

A teammate next to him was about to reach out to pull him up, but was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he collapsed to the ground.

On Wang Yixin's cheek, the Nuo mask that was originally hidden under his skin had melted!

"No—Uncle! You're lying to me!! This isn't a blessing for me at all—"

Wang Yixin wailed in despair.

Inside a secluded cave on the outskirts of Wuqi, Wang family steward Lao Kui was grinning as he completed the final blood sacrifice.

At his feet lay the dried corpses of Li Liang and Chen Shu, who should have reunited with Wang Yixin long ago, their life essence drained.

Having absorbed the flesh and blood of two third-tier cultivators, along with Wang An's remnant soul filled with resentment, this Nuo mask of [Yang Jian, the God of Play] has finally reached the moment of its perfect birth.

Instead of summoning the spirit of the True Lord of the Pure Source, it used Ji Heng's resentment and blood sacrifice to devour Wang Yixin's soul and body.

"Click—click—"

The chilling sounds of bones shattering and flesh reforming echoed in the torrential rain.

Wang Yixin's body swelled wildly like an inflated balloon, his flesh and blood tearing apart, transforming into a deformed, fleshy figure tens of meters tall.

He was clad in tattered divine armor made of bone and rotting flesh, and where his eyes should have been, dozens of pus-filled, blood-dripping eyeballs had sprung up, spinning wildly.

In the very center of that twisted and swollen head, a huge vertical eye was forcibly torn open, churning with extreme evil and resentment!

[Anomaly Found: Aberration - Yang Jian (Pseudo-Deficient Rank)]

This individual has merged with the vengeful spirits of multiple high-ranking individuals, and has completely degenerated into a mutated form that craves to devour all living beings! Danger Level: B++
