I built a floating city in the game.

"Are you really gone?"

After a while, some players went around to scout and found that the Big Axe Gang members had indeed left.

"This... is it a strategy of attrition or a strategy of weakening the opponent?"

Someone spoke up, and upon hearing this, the others immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

As it turns out, they worried too much.

Every few hours, arrows would fall from the sky, which were annoying even if they didn't cause any harm.

Even if you rush out to search under the arrows late at night, it's difficult to find anyone. After a while, they all slip away, leaving you to obediently hide in the trees.

Fortunately, the members of the Big Axe Gang didn't dare to rush up, but this only fueled the anger of the players.

He had the strength but couldn't use it.

"Damn it, kill them tomorrow morning."

Every now and then, a player would speak up, which would resonate with a group of people, who would secretly vow revenge.

After exchanging a few words with Mo Bai, Ye Qing turned and left.

As soon as he left, Mo Bai looked to the north, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What kind of elemental fluctuation is this?..."

"What are they doing? Are they conducting another experiment?"

Mo Bai couldn't help but think that this elemental fluctuation was quite unique, which made him feel a little itchy.

A quick glance revealed that Zhou Lin was already fast asleep, snoring softly, while Yang Hao was using his mental energy to sense something, growing increasingly excited.

Mo Bai sensed a slight elemental fluctuation on his end.

Clearly, after watching his actions of capturing the wind element, and after receiving his reminder, he had also grasped some of the tricks.

Of course, the area with pure wind elements that Mo Bai spent time creating was also a key element.

Without his maintenance, this wind elemental zone would probably only last for a few hours.

What Yang Hao learns in those few hours depends entirely on his own comprehension.

Seeing this, Mo Bai nodded slightly and then disappeared into the darkness.

The forest is completely dark at night, and the occasional moonlight shining through the gaps in the canopy leaves only fragments of moonlight and distorted shadows.

In the complex environment of a forest, unless one is extremely familiar with it, it is absolutely impossible for a normal person to be active at night.

However, Mo Bai strolled among the trees, shrubs, and vines as if taking a leisurely walk.

In his mental perception, darkness was essentially no different from daytime.

In fact, even Mo Bai, a member of the Big Axe Gang who had previously appeared and disappeared without a trace, was able to catch some scattered clues.

Following the trail, Mo Bai soon emerged from the forest, where a mountain village came into view.

On the flat ground, wheat fields are neatly arranged like grids stretching into the distance, and a river flows through the hills, winding around the foot of a large mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, a mountain road winds its way up, with scattered houses dotting the mountainside and the summit. A wooden fence blocks the way in the middle, and torches can be seen flickering on both sides of the road, but there seems to be some chaos up there at the moment.

Mo Bai compared the coordinates with those on the forum.

"The location provided is indeed here, and the source of the elemental fluctuations is also here."

What happened up there?

Mo Bai sensed the increasingly intense elemental fluctuations on it, which stirred up ripples in his mental perception.

Without wasting any time, he hurried towards the mountain stronghold, and noticed something was wrong when he passed through the wheat fields.

"Why are these wheat fields uncultivated? Where are the villagers?"

Mo Bai subconsciously thought, but then he remembered that ordinary NPC villagers were also within the Big Axe Gang's capture range and had become consumables for the experiment.

Realizing this, looking at the abandoned wheat field, he suddenly felt a greater sense of reality and couldn't help but recall the film "Peaceful Year" that was released last year.

"How come this has turned out like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, where human life was treated like dirt?"

Isn't this a unified empire?

Mo Bai recalled the background information he had seen on the forum and suddenly had an idea.

"Could it be that this is also the end of a dynasty?"

Muttering to himself, Mo Bai slowly reached out and touched her.

After getting close to the mountain road, I didn't dare to go up. Instead, I climbed up the cliff face on one side in the dark.

With the help of mental perception and precise control of the ink cartridge, Mo Bai, who had never been involved in rock climbing before, was able to get the hang of it easily in just a few moments.

The training he underwent during this period made it very easy for him to calm down. Even when looking down from the air, he remained calm and his hands did not tremble or stiffen.

Before long, Mo Bai had climbed halfway up the mountain and climbed over.

After walking a few steps, the area turned into a gentle slope, with a wall blocking the way, and inside were rows of houses.

He spread his mental energy around and found no one in the surrounding area. Even the house inside was completely abandoned.

With a running start and using the momentum, Mo Bai jumped up, grabbed the top of the wall, and flipped over.

Upon arriving here, the elemental fluctuations became even more pronounced, as conspicuous as a bonfire in the darkness.

They moved quickly between the houses, making no sound except for the faint sound of their footsteps.

Suddenly, Mo Bai stopped in his tracks.

"There are hidden sentries."

In his perception, a gang member was sitting by a window of a house, yawning, with a machete and a wooden whistle clearly in his hand.

Seeing this, Mo Bai glanced ahead.

In his perception, the distance of the elemental fluctuations was only about two or three hundred meters.

After a moment's hesitation, Mo Bai didn't make a move that might alert the enemy. Instead, he quietly crept past the house in the darkness, and the sentry didn't even notice anything amiss.

As they traveled closer to the core, the number of sentries became increasingly dense, but in the dead of night, most of them were already fast asleep.

This made Mo Bai mutter to himself.

"Why isn't the other half asleep? How come this gang's discipline is so high?"

Muttering to themselves as they moved forward, they found that the houses in the vicinity of the elemental fluctuations were already inhabited by members of the gang.

Many houses had three or four members sleeping in them, while others had only one.

In the heart of this village, several buildings came into Mo Bai's view.

Inside a stone house, an oil lamp was fully lit, and faint sounds could be heard coming from within.

Next to the stone house was a warehouse, guarded by two gang members at the entrance. A quick scan with his spiritual power revealed a scene that made Mo Bai gasp for breath.

The warehouse was packed with people, dozens of people crammed into the same small barn, so crowded that there was absolutely no room to move around.

These people were pale and covered in wounds; they were all children, young people, and middle-aged men and women, with not a single elderly person among them.

The stone barn door was completely locked. Next to it, there was only a pig feed bucket by a window, with some scraps of food or something else still inside.

In a small cubicle next door, more than a dozen players, their bodies and mouths tightly bound with rope, lay scattered on the ground, their bodies covered in wounds.

Seeing these scenes, a sense of frustration rose in Mo Bai's chest.

However, when his mental energy swept over the last stone hut next to him, his eyes widened instantly.
