Monsters Are Coming
Chapter 1394 - 362: Mutual Aid Alliance, Eccentric Players (Second Update)_4
Imagine, eight muscle-bound men slowly approach you, showing a meaningful smile.
During this, they take turns using deep voices to recite cheesy pickup lines to you: like how their muscles are stronger than your will to survive.
I guarantee you’ll be more frightened than being trapped in a horror scene, producing shock value several times higher than that of a horror scene.
This kind of shock carries a strong sense of helplessness.
A fear that’s even scarier than death.
So, when weaving dream scenarios, big bro, don’t be too rigid. Don’t confine yourself within horror content, I suggest adding some flair.

This comment not only shocked Wei Shan but also opened up new ideas for him.
He suddenly understood why the Earth Thought Bully always called them "beastly players."
These folks can indeed be quite eerie at times.
Being their opponents means not only physical confrontation but also enduring mental trauma.
Eventually, you’ll break down mentally—imagine the mental pollution the evil boss experiences daily.
Not long after posting, the chat group Wei Shan set up was flooded with many players wanting to follow the Summoning Stream route and hoping to collaboratively strategize the Small World.
But Wei Shan doesn’t pick just any player.
He decided to prioritize recruiting a batch of capable players in the group chat.
Only by having many strong players band together will they be able to safeguard the future operation of the Small World.
Ultimately developing into a Doomsday Small World, providing them with continuous resource profits.
The rise of Summoning Stream is just around the corner.

The hot topic of Summoning Stream on the forum also sparked discussions among Pet Flow players about future development.
Pet Flow, built around Controlled Life Soul, has the advantage of not needing early-stage planning, nor consuming a lot of effort to excavate unique resource production channels.
Besides one’s own players, any living creature can be captured as a pet.
Even the Reverse Tide God from the Reverse Tide Army, theoretically, as long as its strength is weaker than the player and it’s in a near-death, defenseless state, can be captured as a controlled pet.
Very little investment is needed for capturing, without needing to undergo a cultivation process.
Whatever strength at capture time will be its future strength.
The only downside is that targets captured by Pet Flow grow very little.
As players’ strength rapidly enhances, following Pet Flow requires constantly changing pet types to improve their strength.
Back then, the most popular pet was the highly plastic Shuyan Warrior.
However, mainstream player levels are generally around 100 now, and Shuyan Warrior levels have also risen in recent years but can no longer meet players’ needs.
Pet Flow players want pets that can significantly boost combat power.
The difficulty of acquiring Shuyan Warrior is not low; it requires staking out near the Shuyan Domain, consuming time and effort early on.
However, after successfully capturing, it cannot provide a massive combat power increase.
This is completely different when players were generally Level 30-50 and captured Shuyan Warriors with combat strength over 80, who significantly enhanced their power.
At that time, the power of one Shuyan Warrior could single-handedly challenge a player team numbering a thousand.
So the cost-effectiveness of Shuyan Warriors is declining as the faction develops.
The recent forum heat around the Summoning Stream pathway made Pet Flow players feel a sense of crisis.
Both being servant combat systems, Pet Flow, once popular, seems about to be overtaken by the rapidly rising Summoning Stream.
To solve this dilemma, players from the niche Pet Flow section began discussions.
They consider it’s time to find a new powerful pet acquisition channel, reviving Pet Flow.
However, stable channels to acquire strong pets are not easily found.
Recently, a lucky team pioneered a capture channel for Soul Beasts.
Soul Beasts possess Evolution ability, making them high-potential pets equivalent to growth pets.
But this channel has long been cut off by the Soul Returning Clan.
Causing current market Soul Beasts prices to triple in a short period, and no player willing to sell the Soul Beasts purchased previously.
The battleground between Soul Returning Clan and Reverse Tide Army is too intense.
Some players tried capturing on the battlefield, but the battlefield’s intensity is too high, even players on the fringes couldn’t resist collisions.
Generally surviving no more than a few seconds before being swallowed by terrifying Space Rifts.
Capturing Soul Beasts requires luck and cannot be a stable source for pet acquisition.
While Pet Flow players debated about it, unable to find a suitable direction, a player proposed an idea.
The target was an almost unheated forum but a force that veteran players remember vividly: Divine Artifact Clan.
