You tell me, this is called daily youth?

"I shouldn't know him, but I do. This situation is generally called recognition."

"What a mess."

Yuuki shook his head, feeling it was a shame that the mushroom didn't get his sense of humor. He met the gaze from the other side and nodded slightly, then went to look at the tower.

"Does anyone know this player?" Nanami Kento asked slowly. He felt that the look just now was very strange, but he didn't know this player.

His companions shook their heads, thinking that Mr. Nanami was making a fuss out of nothing. Shouldn't every player be scrutinized when they meet?

"Hahahaha, you can tell he's quite strong, maybe even stronger than me." Kyojuro laughed heartily, crossing his arms. "It's a pity that his gaze wasn't a challenge, more like a greeting between old friends."

"How do you know he is better than you? Also, why do you look like old friends?" Nanami Kento adjusted his glasses, feeling a little uncomfortable with this comrade.

"Just looking at you makes my blood boil, how can it not be powerful!"

"Please don't let your unfounded intuition interfere with my judgment."

"Alright, you two, stop arguing. Why do you always get along?" The girl made a pause gesture, mumbling to Pocky, "Those evil creatures adjusted their permissions. We finally got this faction mission, so we have to do something big this time."

Some of the authority was on the enemy side, and they happened to modify the frequency of accepting tasks, making it difficult for them to receive the camp tasks.

"Mr. Gojo sent us out here to do something big and close the gap between us." Kyojuro nodded heavily, then smiled gloatingly, "Did you hear about that last faction mission? The evil creatures had a terrible time. Not only did they get nothing, but only one of them escaped."

"As the old saying goes, 'Those who do too much evil will eventually perish.' Those evil creatures can't get along with most players. It's a pity that the cursed spirit survived." Nanami Kento smoothed his wind-torn hair, his eyes cold. "The senior's plan is moving forward. They will unite with players from other factions to completely reverse the situation."

"The most important thing is secrecy. The person we're looking for must be reliable. Otherwise, if we lose control, it will cause a catastrophe, a catastrophe without a winner."

Isayama Yomi's words are very true and cruel. Cross-faction wars mean risks, and these risks are multi-faceted. For example, after the news is leaked, everyone will call on players from other factions to turn their own outposts into battlefields. Internal negotiation is the best way to resolve the issue.

But there is no way. The 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' is different from other camps. There is only a clear dividing line here. Either you are a ghost or you are a human. Ghosts want to eat humans, and humans want to kill ghosts. What's more troublesome is that ghosts are stronger than humans.

Seeing that his words had depressed his companions, Isayama Yomi slapped his face and clasped his hands together to apologize: "We'll find a way. At worst, we can ask the hunters for help. Just focus on the mission. We're going to make a killing this time!"

The harvest represents the fate of the camp. Nanami Kento could feel the pressure and glanced at the dashing girl.

"You are the captain this time, what should you do?"

"No, no, no, Kyojuro and Nanami-san are more like captains." Huang Quan didn't care about the empty title, and gently stroked the red-handled long sword at his waist. "You guys decide these things, I'll just be a quiet observer and take a look--"

"Which players have the potential for cooperation?"

......

Dang Dang Dang——

As soon as the words fell, the bell rang, and everyone except the players knelt on the spot, chanting unknown scriptures. The tiny sounds gathered together and spread towards the sky.

The clouds parted, and the scorching sun shone on my body, just like a sight from the sky, filling me with an inexplicable sense of sacredness.

Then, the fog wall opened, revealing the entire valley.

The red soil, the dark red dense forest, and the dancing demonic shadows in the forest added a touch of fear and greed to the sacredness. Yuki looked sideways and saw that the hearts of each team were in turmoil. Many wooden boxes were carried to the front of the formation, and after they were opened, they were shining with golden light.

"Brothers, the witch beast has appeared. Do a good job and you won't have to worry about your next life!"

Peggy's roar mixed with the mercenaries' roar. There will always be brave men when there is a big reward, and all forces are ready to fight.

Yuuki's face was expressionless, the dense forest obscured his view, but he had a feeling:

Many people will die this time. No wonder it happens once every seventy years. It is enough to kill most of the wizards accumulated over the years. So, who is hunting whom?

He knew there was a problem, but he was powerless to stop it because that was human nature, greed could overwhelm all reason.

"Stop howling like a ghost and clearing the way. I need to get to the Shura Tower as quickly as possible."

The word "cannon fodder" was written all over Yuki's face, but no one objected. Peggy yelled "Brothers, follow me", and the chaotic team passed by Yuki.

Philen sat upright on his horse, casting a questioning look: "Slow or fast, or should we test the waters first and then change targets if something seems off?"

Military flags fluttered, thousands of soldiers poured in, and all kinds of magic flew around like festive fireworks.

Yuki admired the fireworks and rode up to catch up, saying only, "I want to gain freedom of movement as quickly as possible so I can free up my hands to deal with the players."

free?

Philen thought about it and realized that the hint did indeed contain a way to gain freedom.

[Tip 3: Players need to stay in the tower for at least seven days or enter the highest level to wait for all sub-towers to be activated and the Tower of the Sorcerer God to be opened. Players who do not complete the conditions will be eliminated.]

[Tip 4: Each camp can only choose one tower to enter. You can change the target. Tip 3 conditions will be reset.]

Tips three and four bind players to the tower. Unless necessary, it is best not to change the goal of a faction, because no one knows when the tower will automatically activate, and if the goal is not completed by then, it will be a disaster.

But there is a way to make activation controllable.

[Tip 2: Activating a sub-tower requires the approval of a witch spirit or relevant permissions. The witch spirit will automatically activate the tower at the appropriate time.]

Philen immediately understood what the man meant. If he held the activation power in his own hands, wouldn't that mean he would have freedom of movement?

He wanted to kill Wu Ling and become the master of Shura Tower.

......

The dark red woods were dense, but not dim under the magical light.

Seven teams rushed into the valley from all directions, and the battle was in full swing. From time to time, beams of light shot straight into the sky, accompanied by loud rumbling sounds, and large tracts of forests were burned.

Yuki had no intention of joining the battle. He just watched Peggy and the others fight desperately on horseback. They fought in small teams. Rather than being traditional Western fantasy wizards, they were more like a group of modern infantry.

Fighting in small teams, the soul crystals embedded in the armor burst out with dazzling energy, forming a group of protective shields.

Energy attached to the sword, and from a distance they looked like a group of Jedi Knights, their physical fitness rapidly improving, leaving a trail of afterimages in the forest; the staff was more like a laser cannon, and beams of light cut the trees as hard as steel in half.

There is no magic circle, only because of the difference in personal qualifications, the released energy is added with effects such as fire, ice, and hurricane.

"It's quite interesting. The civilization of this world has obviously formed a power system, and the combat power spans from extreme to extraordinary." Yuki watched carefully and nodded from time to time. At least there was a bit of Western fantasy adventure style in the team cooperation.

"How many teams can you fight?" Philen looked more seriously, she was an expert.

"Looking at the battlefield conditions, if they were to fight on a plain, a hundred-man force could cause some trouble, but in a place like this, they wouldn't survive more than five minutes."

Philen moved her mouth and wanted to brag. She knew that Yuki was strong, but she didn't know how strong. Yuki had no interest in explaining.

So this is the witch beast.

He watched as a monster with purple-red skin, three heads and six arms, about two meters tall, rushed into the shield wall, slashing around with its sharp blade, killing several people on the spot, and then was covered by magic like a tractor beam, and its movements immediately slowed down.

More than a dozen flaming beams came at once and ignited it. Several mercenaries held spears with beams on the blades that were half a meter long, accurately piercing the monster's chest. The assassin emerged from the shadows again and stabbed it in the back.

With a series of slashing sounds, the monster fell down, and all three heads were chopped off. The assassin then dug out a crystal from the monster's heart, and the witch beast was completely dead.

"That's a level four wizard beast, probably at the extraordinary level?" Philen said softly, and there was a mercenary next to him who was introducing it.

"Well, to be precise, it's Extraordinary III, which is pretty good among the miscellaneous soldiers." Yuki nodded and looked at the demonic shadow whizzing through the forest.

Unlike the insect swarm, each wizard beast looks different, but they are all about the same size, barely recognizable as human, and similar to wizards, with distinct characteristics.

Some release balls of light from a distance, some charge into battle, and some are invisible like assassins, but they have no brains and do not know how to cooperate, so they are naturally no match for the army.

Even these humans are like beasts.

Yuki looked at the faces distorted by greed and killing, watched them take soul crystals alive, and stroked the hilt of the knife with his fingers.

These people completely forgot about clearing a path and just frantically hunted around, even forgetting the existence of him, the tower explorer.

"The beast tide is coming, everyone, form a circular defense formation!"

The forest was suddenly filled with footsteps. Groups of witch beasts began to approach from afar. One of them was huge, a bit like a six-legged turtle with pale tusks on its neck. It knocked down the trees blocking the road and broke them in half.

A third-level magical beast, this is almost at the extraordinary level.

Hey, shouldn't your circular defense formation protect me in the middle?

Yuki was speechless. He glanced at the turtle and realized it was several times stronger, not just in size. The dense barrage of fire was completely blocked by its shell. Fortunately, the witch beasts had no brains. The other cautious witch beasts didn't know how to use cover, leaving themselves exposed to attack.

Although they have no intelligence, their intuition is quite good. They did not attack the human formation head-on, but instead came around from the side, intending to eat up Yuki and others who were left behind.

"We have to try." Yuki was about to jump off his horse when his shoulder was held down.

"Let me do it." Philen said little, just floated up gently, holding the staff in both hands and aiming forward.

Exorcism magic.

shhhhh--

The girl was like holding a laser cannon, shooting out beams of light at a rapid speed. Not only was the power extremely great, the firing speed was also extremely fast. Even if a small witch beast could not be blown up in one shot, the continuous shooting like a machine gun would quickly turn it into rotten meat.

While suppressing the herd with his rate of fire, Philen gathered his strength and released a beam of even greater power to bombard the turtle.

dong dong!

Although both used magic beams, Philen was completely incomparable to those mercenaries, and he specifically targeted the turtle's limbs exposed outside the shell to snipe.

Roar--

Its two legs were almost broken. The witch beast screamed, raised its head, and opened its mouth to spit out a red beam of light. It did not move in a straight line, but left a winding curve in the air, making it difficult to know where to defend.

Defensive magic.

Philen had an expressionless face as he unfolded the magic circle. The magic crystals wrapped around Philen without any blind spots. The crystals also had a reflective function, bouncing the beam of light into the sky.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the witch beast had no intention of retreating. It retracted its six legs into its shell and spun like a tire. Its huge tusks were like gears, raising dust and instantly crushing a mercenary team that blocked the road into pieces of meat.

A huge monster with a diameter of five or six meters charged in a straight line. The terrifying momentum made Yuki subconsciously grasp the knife, but then quietly let go.

Gravity magic.

I saw a blue light curtain covering the witch beast, which slowed down its charging speed rapidly. When it approached, it even floated up. Philen threw it far away and charged the staff.

Fantasy explodes. Melting light.

call out--

A crimson beam of light, only as thick as a fist, instantly swept across the forest. It was extremely concentrated magic power. With just a light stroke, it penetrated the upside-down witch beast and ripped it open.

Blood mixed with visceral fragments gushed out. The girl standing in mid-air raised her hand and pointed, "Go, harvest it."

"Lord Philen has cleared the enemy for us. Brothers, follow me!"

Peggy roared, calling on the stunned mercenaries to rush forward, and all the spears, axes, and bows and arrows were aimed at the severely injured witch beast.

Awesome, worthy of being a wizard, he has made ease and elegance ingrained in his bones.

Yuki clapped his hands softly, and turned his head to see Philen returning steadily to his horse. As he panted, he took out a crystal clear sapphire and meditated.

In terms of burst damage, no one at the same level can compete with the wizard, unless it is a special item-based player like Hayasaka Ai.

"How many times can you sustain similar consumption?" Yuki's eyes were sharp, and he could see the most critical endurance problem of the wizard at a glance.

"Five to six times. If someone can cool down the sapphire, we can have two more times." Philen answered honestly. The praise from the man next to her made her feel very comfortable, and the guilt of eating and drinking for free was finally alleviated a little.

He has solid basic skills, rich combat experience, perfect magic combination, and a natural grace of ease.

I think I have found a treasure.

Yuuki noticed the look in the girl's eyes and slowly grinned: "You want me to show you some of my skills?"

"No, you're definitely stronger than me." Philen immediately turned his head away, secretly glancing at Yuki from the corner of his eye. "Of course, if you want to take action, I won't object."

"Next time, there are only a few miscellaneous soldiers left and I'm too lazy to draw my sword."

Humph, bragging.

The girl puffed out her lips.

The first encounter after entering the forest has ended. The mercenary group slaughtered twenty or thirty witch beasts and was happily cleaning up the battlefield. As for the more than ten casualties, hunting was never peaceful.

The dead were put into body bags and evacuated along with the wounded. There were carriages at the edge of the valley, and the merchants had already driven their clinics to the front line of the hunt.

Everything went smoothly as if it had been rehearsed, and in just half an hour, the team was ready to go.

interesting.

Yuki remained seated on his warhorse, his head tilted as he watched Peggy negotiate with a businessman wearing a round hat. If he was not mistaken, this businessman was not a wizard, yet he had stepped into the thick miasma.

Switching to the demon's vision, his eyebrows were slightly raised.

That was a living person, a living person with an extremely pure soul, so he was different from those wizards, no, from all the people he had ever met.

He seemed to be unconcerned with everything except exploring the tower, but in fact he had been observing silently, engraving various details into his mind, including the fact that the businessman had secretly taken out a telescope to observe when Philen was fighting just now.

"Sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Peggy hurried back, clutching a blood-stained bag and raising it slightly. "Here are the soul crystals I just hunted. According to the agreement, you can get 30%."

"Only 30% is given for dealing with the most troublesome level 3 wizard beast?"

"Well, the contract states that the distribution will be based on contribution. If you're not satisfied, we can discuss it further."

"No need, just give me the soul crystal of the third-level wizard beast, and the rest are yours." Yuki was too lazy to talk nonsense, this character does not have the characteristic of bargaining.
