Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 348 - 144: Rules Enlightenment, Game Cheating_2

The hunting level of the Snow Ridge Wilderness, in the eyes of veteran players, is nearly invincible. Killing one requires unimaginable effort and time, let alone a whole group.

But in the eyes of newbie players, there is still power to fight.

This confirms the saying: a newborn calf is unafraid of the tiger.

Newbie players do not care about the cost-effectiveness seen by veterans; as long as there’s profit to be gained, they would charge even if the opponent were a god.

Without much focus on the matter, Qi Sheng turned his gaze towards the direction of the Colorful Mist Coast.

In the dense forest behind the coast, two resource domain nodes were erupting in battle.

Two warbands, each with nearly a thousand players, were attempting to seize the domain nodes.

The gaze continued to probe behind the dense forest.

At the end of a path opened by players from the Exploration Faction, lay a scene of the Evil Moon Domain under the waning moon.

However, unlike the Evil Moon Domains encountered before, although an Evil Eye Tower had already formed inside, the platform of the tower, strangely, only had Evil Eyes floating without any sign of the commanding Evil Spirit Warriors.

Scanning every corner of the Evil Moon scene, no trace of the Evil Spirit Warriors was found.

But what was strange was that the Black Tide surged below the tower, forming a scale larger than when controlled by an Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

"Where are the Evil Spirits?"

Faced with the inquiry, the Guidance pondered briefly before giving an answer:

[Based on player output information from collected records, it can be basically certain that the Evil Spirit Warriors of this Evil Moon Domain have been beheaded and killed. Hence, there remains the tower, the Evil Eyes, and the Black Tide, but the Evil Spirit Warriors have vanished.]

[And the high probability is that the player who killed the Evil Spirit Warriors was Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng’s mentor, the Ascetic who crafted the Pain Imprint.]

[According to the recorded information, before his death, the Ascetic decided to fulfill his last wish, burning his life essence to battle the Black Tide with Pain Tentacles, then flying deep into the forest. Judging by the flight direction, it was clearly aimed at this Evil Moon Domain... so he succeeded.]

After hearing the analysis from the Guidance, Qi Sheng suddenly remembered this matter.

About a month ago, the Ascetic, whose Life Fire was nearly extinguished, after leaving a legacy to his two disciples, Xia Sheng and Jiang Cheng, resolutely chose to burn himself in a battle against the Black Tide, wanting to test whether his life’s efforts were feasible.

The disappearance of the Evil Spirit Warriors in the Black Tide, combined with the Ascetic’s actions, answers the call.

Thus, the Evil Spirit Warriors in this Evil Moon scene didn’t disappear but were beheaded by the Ascetic.

This is also the reason why the Black Tide below still exists, along with the Evil Eye, but the Evil Spirit Warriors are gone.

It can be asserted that the blow must have been endured by both the Evil Spirit Warriors and the Evil Eye together, as the Evil Spirit Warriors, in a battle state, would be connected to the Evil Eye; only thus can they form the combined command and perception system.

Yet the outcome was that the Evil Spirits couldn’t withstand the endless torment and died, but the Evil Eye survived.

It highlights how terrifying that strike’s power must have been.

Qi Sheng could even mentally picture the satisfaction of Ascetic at that moment.

For this day, he practiced asceticism for countless long years, constantly tormenting himself to accumulate the Power of Pain.

The pain accumulated over the endless years was finally condensed into a killer blow, wantonly released in this Evil Moon Domain.

Through the pain transference of the Touch of Pain, the endless torment released at that moment instantly annihilated the consciousness of the Evil Spirit Warriors, ultimately reducing them to soulless marionettes.

As for where the dead Evil Spirit Warriors went, the high probability is they were devoured by the Black Tide.

After all, the Black Tide lacks the tradition of posthumous monuments; the final destination of the consciousness-losing Evil Spirit Warriors is to merge with the Black Tide, becoming its nutrients for growth.

As for the Ascetic’s corpse, after a scan from Guidance, it was clear that it too had been swallowed by the Black Tide.

This is also the inevitable fate of life forms dying by the Black Tide, except for players.

At this moment, Qi Sheng’s consciousness focused on the Tower, and the perception view extended downwards.

The information about the domain nodes below the Tower emerged in his mind.

[Domain Node: Wansen]

Territory Type: Rule

Rule Characteristics: Enlightenment

Characteristics Introduction: Extracts a natural boon following the changes of world operations.

Domain State: Occupied by Horror Black Tide

...

Finding that this was a Rule Domain, Qi Sheng immediately had an idea.

Every rule in a territory can bring players a permanent beneficial state, whose importance is no less than that of Primordial Traits.

Since this domain node has no Evil Spirit Warriors to command, just relying on the Evil Eyes can’t unleash the full power of the Black Tide. It’s entirely possible to try to seize it.

Thinking of this, Qi Sheng decisively shared the domain node’s information on the map and issued a corresponding purification task. freewёbnoνel.com

But he also understood that capturing this place wouldn’t be easy.

The intensity of the Black Tide here is higher than even that of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range; players wanting to capture it must go through a prolonged battle.

...

Earth, Cloud Hidden City.

The city nestled among encircling mountains, harmoniously blending with nature.

Cloud Hidden City was constructed during the late stages of the mechanical war.

The city’s residents are mostly descendants of those from Black Light City.

The brutal mechanical war led to the city’s destruction, a massive migration of residents, who hid among the mountains, building a new city among the steep peaks.

After the war ended, Cloud Hidden City received support from the Human Clan Federation, allowing it to develop rapidly, now with nearly 8 million permanent residents.

The entire city is surrounded by winding mountain ranges and veil-like clouds.

The buildings within the city are constructed against the mountains, retaining the original features of the mountain bodies, incorporating modern design principles. The city is shaded by lush greenery, filled with the scent of flowers, interwoven with various native vegetation into a vivid natural painting.

At this moment, in the South District of the city, inside a residential building beside Yunxi Square.
