Monster collectors on the cross-platform

"We have arrived at Tuoma Star. Players, please take your belongings and leave in an orderly manner."

A pleasant female voice rang out again, and the side of the spaceship unfolded in response.

Huo glanced curiously outside the spaceship, then led the women down first.

With Huo Huan leading the way, the other players also left the spaceship one after another.

As soon as you step off the spaceship, a futuristic technological vibe hits you; the surroundings are filled with a sense of the future, except for the players, of course.

Huo also discovered that, in addition to the natives of this plane, there were some players already inside the fortress.

Judging from their familiarity with the route, they had obviously arrived on this planet long ago.

It seems that Huo and his group of players were reinforcements.

Just as Huo was pondering this, a large group of soldiers dressed in yellow and white combat uniforms entered the spaceship from another direction.

Not long after, the group of soldiers disembarked from the spaceship, each carrying a large box.

If Huo's guess is correct, these should be the supplies.

Thinking about it, that makes sense. Based on what Huo had seen before, it was questionable whether the planet in front of them could even produce enough food to be self-sufficient.

It seems this spaceship is not only a troop transport ship but also a supply ship.

Instead of standing idly at the landing point, Huo led the women to take a closer look at the fortress.

Following the flow of people, Huo arrived at a street with a large number of players.

Judging from the messy style of the signboard, it's immediately obvious that it was done by a player.

It has to be said that there are quite a few players inside the fortress, but thinking about it, it makes sense, considering that this time they are facing an evil god.

Even if it is only corrupted by the power of an evil god, it is still enough to make people not dare to underestimate it.

In this street dominated by players, the number of native humans is quite small.

After browsing through the area, Huo continued walking and soon arrived at a place called the Quartermaster Department.

This place is completely different from before. The quartermaster is mostly staffed with local soldiers, and even if there are players, their numbers are quite small.

Huo went closer to take a look and realized that this was where supplies were distributed.

Both players and soldiers can receive certain supplies for free from the supply depot.

Huo went up to check what he could receive.

Energy gun, 3 energy blocks, combat suit, tactical helmet...

In addition to the basic combat gear, there is also some food available.

Huo curiously took a portion of food, which looked like a bag of jelly. He took a bite and found it to be somewhat sticky. The taste wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly delicious either.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Huo finished the entire meal in one go.

To prevent the soldiers from getting sick of the food, it was divided into different flavors, but Huo had already lost interest in trying it.

It's better to bring your own food from your inventory; no wonder there aren't many players coming to the supply depot.

The food wasn't tasty, and these combat gear sets weren't very useful to the players either.

After learning about the situation, Huo ate a meal but took nothing else and walked straight out of the quartermaster's office.

After leaving the quartermaster, Huo toured the entire fortress, but apart from the player's street and the quartermaster, there was nothing else worth mentioning.

However, Huo also noticed something unusual: the proportion of priest-type professions seemed unusually high.

Compared to the entire online platform, professions like priests and paladins, while not rare, are not numerous either.

There is usually one priest-type player for every ten or twenty players, but on this planet, the proportion of priests is too high, almost reaching 3 to 1.

Perhaps it is because priestly professions have a restraining effect on these demons corrupted by evil gods?

Before encountering the monster, Huo couldn't be certain, but it was an undeniable fact that there were many clergy on this planet.

Aside from that, there's the issue of assigning responsibilities.

The human soldiers on this planet seem to be stationed only inside fortresses and do not actively go out to search for monsters.

Those who went out were mostly players; Huo had already seen at least three player teams go out.

Having understood the situation to this extent, there was nothing else to learn. Huo thought for a moment and then took the girls out to take a look.

However, before leaving, the soldiers guarding the gate gave each of them a wristwatch.

"This is a specially developed wristwatch capable of detecting the aura of evil gods within a 1-kilometer radius."

"In addition to these functions, this watch also has small features such as calling for help from nearby people and determining location."

Finally, I wish you great success in your military endeavors!

After receiving the wristwatch, and with the soldiers saluting him, Huo left the fortress.

As soon as I left the protection of the fortress shield, a dry and scorching heat hit me.

Along with this came a slight feeling of tightness in his chest. Huo frowned; it seemed the oxygen level on this planet was rather low.

Fortunately, all of them were in good physical condition and adapted to their surroundings after a short while.

After putting on his wristwatch, Huo spread his wings and randomly chose a direction to start flying.

Less than two minutes into the flight, Huo's wristwatch began to vibrate.

Is there a monster here?

Huo looked at the dry, scorched earth, which didn't seem to have any demonic creatures.

However, since the watch detected the aura of the evil god, there must be something nearby.

Huo didn't hesitate and immediately folded his wings to land on the ground.

The moment his feet touched the ground, a sudden tremor came from beneath his feet, and a giant hand made of rock grabbed Huo Huan's legs.

Is this the earth element?

Looking at the monster in front of him, whose entire body was made of rock, Huo couldn't help but wonder.

However, Huo quickly realized something was wrong. The monster in front of him did not have the aura of earth element; instead, it exuded a slimy and disgusting feeling.

It was as if a force had forcibly manipulated several rocks to form this body.

It seems that this is a demonic creature tainted by the aura of an evil god. Perhaps it was its rock-like body that prevented Huo Huan from noticing anything unusual at first.

No wonder every player who goes out wears a wristwatch; most players wouldn't even notice.

Chapter 180 Monsters

A mere stone man is naturally no match for Huo Huan.

Huo broke free from the stone man's restraints with just a slight effort, and then smashed the stone man's entire body with a backhand punch.

Is that all?

Looking at the stone man, now a pile of rubble and lying motionless on the ground, Huo still looked puzzled.

Before long, wisps of black energy rose from the gravel, seemingly about to dissipate into the world.

Seeing this, Huo summoned the Book of Collections, preparing to try and contain it.

Unfolding the Book of Collections and aiming it at the rubble on the ground, Huo directly used Containment.

Wisps of black energy were drawn from the air and the gravel and directly absorbed by the Book of Collection, but the gravel on the ground remained completely still.

Containment failed?

Huo, still puzzled, turned to the latest page of the book of collections.

Race Name: Aura of Evil God

Description: An aura formed by the power spread by an unknown evil god, possessing the energy to erode all things.

Trait: Possessed by an evil god

Evil God Infestation: The power of the evil god has an extremely strong infestation ability, even if it is just a tiny trace of its aura. Once equipped, players can use their power to infest any object. If the infestation is successful, an uncontrollable monster will be formed.

Unlike the usual results of containing monsters, this time what was contained was the aura of an evil god.

The granted trait is also quite useless. Putting aside the success rate of the infection, the fact that the infected person cannot control themselves makes it a completely useless skill that can only be used for destruction.

No, even causing destruction was a hassle for Huo.

Fortunately, this time the monsters can still be contained. You know, when Huo first learned about the background, he thought that none of the monsters could be contained, and he almost withdrew from the battlefield, causing the network to refresh.

Although the quality of the collection this time was somewhat poor, fortunately, we can still learn from the experience, so it's not a big deal for Huo.

After dealing with the stone monster, Huo continued forward, and before long, his wristwatch started vibrating again.

However, having learned from the previous experience, Huo quickly discovered the monster's hiding place this time.

This time it was a scorpion that looked like a deformed creature. It wasn't very strong, and Huo easily killed it, but then continued to keep it in.

It was still the aura of an evil god. It seemed that no matter what was being tainted by the aura, it was all being contained by the aura of an evil god.

As Huo ventured further and further from the fortress, he encountered monsters more and more frequently, and their numbers began to increase as well.

Huo has now encountered a situation of clustering.

However, these monsters are not too numerous or powerful.

Perhaps we should try to find the source.

This source is not an evil god, but rather a collection of evil god powers lurking on this planet.

Most players come to this planet for this aggregate. As long as this aggregate of power is dealt with, no new monsters on this planet will be corrupted by the aura of the evil god.

However, Huo did not know where this collective power was located, nor was it easy to find.

Although the watch can detect the aura of the evil god, its search range is too small. When facing an entire planet, the watch's detection range is like finding a needle in a haystack.

However, one rule remains constant: the closer you are to the source of power, the stronger and more numerous the monsters become.

With this in mind, Huo stopped his slow, incremental progress and spread his wings to fly further away.

Before long, Huo encountered many demons in the sky.

Besides the usual monsters formed from infected birds, there are also monsters formed from all sorts of random things like clouds, airplanes, and plastic bags.
