"Where are the ruins and the treasures? If nothing comes of it, two five-star alien beasts can give you some magic cores!" Chu Xin looked at the deserted map and was extremely dissatisfied.
Everyone says that the monthly dark tide is a time when risks and opportunities coexist, but now it seems that reality and rumors are completely different.
The dark tide has been going back and forth for nearly eight hours, and the map is completely empty, with no changes at all.
Chu Xin, who was complaining, suddenly froze because the map in front of him suddenly went black.
The little golden man died without any warning and passed away peacefully!
Chu Xin dug out the reminder before his death. Judging from past experience, there should be more or less information in it.
"Tip, there seems to be some movement in the darkness. You look around warily, but you don't see anything."
"Tip, you were attacked by a ground python!"
"You have died and will be automatically resurrected again in ten minutes. The remaining number of resurrections available today is 2!"
It was not the black wind or something in the dark tide as Chu Xin had guessed, but a strange beast.
That's right, Master Chu got his wish and summoned the strange beast that sent the magic core.
There was just something wrong. The effectiveness of the Great Summoning Technique was just a little too much, beyond his ability to bear.
Killing the golden villain instantly with one strike, it was almost certain that this was a strange beast with at least a seven-star level.
"This earth python is a great threat!" Chu Xin frowned.
Judging from the map, the opponent is only twenty or thirty kilometers away from the territory. If it is allowed to wander into the territory, the consequences are unimaginable.
Is it an old friend who was too hidden in the past to be noticed, or a new friend who took advantage of this dark tide?
Chu Xin had no answer in her heart. The golden villain explored the map in the past. After leaving the ten-kilometer range, in order to improve efficiency, he basically did not waste any time on the little red dots along the way.
Therefore, Chu Xin could not tell whether this earth python existed there or whether it appeared with this dark tide.
So, he found Bingmeng.
This lazy cat was circling Chu Xin's yard in confusion, looking like a thief who was eyeing a wealthy family and looking for a way to hide in.
Chu Xin suspected that the cat wanted to sneak into her yard to steal food, but there was no evidence.
However, it is destined to be a useless effort, and no one can enter it without his permission.
Currently, Chu Xin only gives permission to Friday and Rosa, and Bingmeng is naturally not included.
As the black castle at the center of the territory, its barrier combines the defensive capabilities of all the buildings in the entire territory. The more buildings in the territory, the higher the star rating, and the stronger the defensive capabilities of the castle barrier.
Unless Bingmeng completely breaks up with Chu Xin and attacks with all his strength, it is possible to enter it.
Of course, this layer of defense is not static. It will continue to shrink as the territorial buildings are destroyed.
If only the last black castle is left in the territory, this barrier will naturally fail.
"The defensive barrier here is pretty good." Bingmeng didn't feel bad at all. She pretended to comment a few words, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Chu Xin didn't bother to expose it, so she stopped it and asked, "Do you know the ground python in the north of the territory?"
There are not many seven-star level beasts in the wilderness, and since they are so close to his territory, Bingmeng most likely knows them.
"Ground python?" Bing Meng's cat face was a little dazed, but she quickly reacted, "Oh, you're talking about the old tree root, right? What's wrong?"
"Old tree roots?" Chu Xin's head was full of questions. Is this ground python a plant?
Otherwise, why would such a nickname come up?
Bingmeng glanced at Chu Xin's expression and guessed what he was thinking, and said: "The ground python is named because its branches resemble pythons, but they are actually plants. What, why are you asking about the roots of the old tree? ?”
"One of my younger brothers went over there and was attacked by it." Chu Xin opened his mouth.
"Old Shugen has a strong sense of territoriality, and he is not very bright-minded and greedy. You should try not to go there again in the future." Bingmeng reminded Silver Arowana who had been whoring for so long. It is quite happy to provide this kind of casual information without spending any effort.
"Okay, I'll try to pay more attention." Chu Xin nodded, and then asked a few more questions, and got some preliminary information about the ground python, but Bingmeng ran away in anger.
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
"After a while, when your strength improves, I will arrest you, seal your entire body with magic power, and lock you up with a group of male cats in heat." Chu Xin set a meaningful new goal for herself.
For no reason, Bingmeng's whole body went cold as she was walking back.
This weird feeling went away as quickly as it came. Bingmeng just thought it was her imagination and continued running towards the fish pond.
"Seven-star plants grow underground. Like grass, they can swallow living things, but they do not have the ability to move." Chu Xin repeatedly chewed some intelligence information obtained from Bingmeng. In a short period of time, the opponent should not expand to Came from this side of his territory.
But leaving it alone will be a hidden danger in the future, because the other party's underground branches are constantly expanding like their own territory, and sooner or later the two sides will collide.
It's a pity that the territory is not strong enough at the moment, otherwise, Chu Xin wouldn't mind accepting such a seven-star magic core.
Giving up the unrealistic ideas, Chu Xin returned his attention to the black wind near his territory.
Compared with before, except that the movement was a little louder, there was not much difference.
Chu Xin decided to take a rest. The dark tide lasted for a whole day. He had to take a proper rest to better prevent possible crises.
Although his strength has increased significantly now and his level has reached four stars, eating, sleeping and other activities required for the normal functioning of the body are still unavoidable.
I rested for a while during the Battle of Changshe one night, and now I feel a little tired mentally.
"I'll keep my eyes open for a while. You guys, please pay attention to the surrounding situation. If there is any movement in the territory, call me immediately." Chu Xin gave some instructions to Friday, Caotuan and Rosa, and also gave preset instructions to many units. Then Minmi Huhudi took a nap.
The dark tide is still going on, and Chu Xin guesses that the real changes may still be coming.
This sleep, I don’t know how long it took, until...
A violent shaking made Chu Xin wake up from his sleep. His eyes suddenly lit up, he grabbed the withered bow, and then met Friday's excited soul fire.
"There is something, there is something in the Boneyard!" The message came clearly in Friday's Soul Fire.
thing?
Chu Xin's mental perception quickly swept out, and soon he saw a portal glowing with gray light at the center of the Bone Burial Ground, which was gradually being formed.
A newly established lord, or what?
Don’t you know that this land already has an owner?
The gray-white light pouring out of it is constantly growing the teleportation gate, allowing it to tear open a larger space to gradually form a passage sufficient for teleportation.
"Black Castle, you don't have any cards, you just let others come to your doorstep." Chu Xin sighed, the portal could open directly to his territory, it was simply unbearable.
Chu Xin had no way of knowing what kind of force was on the opposite side of the portal, but those who dared to come to the dark land to open up wasteland would always have the skills.
People like Luo Lin who have lost all their money and are easily deceived are still in the minority.
Do you want to turn it off?
Chu Xin was a little confused. He had an extremely precious Sand of Chaos in his hand, which seemed to be able to close the portal, but he didn't really want to use it.
What if the opponent is not particularly strong?
What if an abyss gate suddenly opens in the territory next?
just in case……
Chu Xin had too many conjectures in his heart. He suddenly slapped his head and forgot about the map after the golden villain died.
Speaking of which, since he gained mental perception, he rarely opened the map to explore the territory, because he could check things clearly with just a scan of the mental perception, so there was no need to look at the map.
[Gate of Bones]: A magic circle used by the undead to teleport. The current progress has been completed at 7/100. The construction duration is: 5 hours.
Chu Xin was a little surprised by the investigation. It turned out to be a portal for the undead. No wonder it was opened in the Bone Burial Ground. It turned out that this place was chosen.
With a thought, Chu Xin sent out a skeleton soldier and approached the Bone Gate.
"stop"!
The moment the skeleton touched the middle of the Bone Gate, it was instantly involved, and then, it completely lost contact with Chu Xin.
I don't know if it was the crazy spatial turbulence or something else that crushed its soul fire.
Chu Xin gritted his teeth and ignored the Bone Gate. He just sent Friday and two Dark Moon Werewolves to sit in and monitor the changes there at any time.
He wanted to make a bet. It was not easy for the strong to teleport. The undead waited for the weakest place in the dark tide space to come, which meant that their teleportation technology was probably not very good.
Therefore, there is a high probability that powerful people with high star levels may not be able to be transmitted through this one-way transmission method in a short period of time.
If they are undead with six stars or below, Chu Xin can try and let them join the Boneyard family.
After calming down, Chu Xin checked the situation in the territory. Apart from the sudden appearance of the portal, there were not many other changes.
However, he noticed that the dark tide had become very weak.
At this time, the space in the dark land is most vulnerable. At the same time, as the intensity of the dark tide collision decreases, the space interference produced is also gradually decreasing.
If a lord tries to come over, this period is the best time.
"We need to strengthen the investigation of the situation near the territory. Even if we can't prevent the other party from coming, we must find out the other party's details as soon as possible." Chu Xin thought while rubbing his chin.
Facing these new lords, Chu Xin didn't want to give them a chance to grow stronger. He would do what he could and what he couldn't do, he had to find a way to do it.
It was already approaching six o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still six hours left before the dark tide ended.
Based on his own observations, Chu Xin roughly divided the dark tide into several stages.
Black wind stage: A black wind blows in the dark land. It has no impact on the surrounding environment and will not change in any way. It lasts for about three hours.
Early tidal stage: The black wind gradually evolves into a wave-like tidal wave, which gradually becomes larger over time without any impact on the surrounding environment. Lasts about three hours.
Mid-tidal stage: The dark tide continues to surge and grow over time, and begins to collide. The collisions will create space gaps, but they will avoid anyone and anything, and will only appear in open spaces. If you don't hit them, nothing will happen. Lasts about nine hours.
Late stage of the tide: The tide of darkness gradually decreases. At this time, the space is most fragile. Lords will descend to the dark land, and opportunities such as treasures will most likely appear at this stage. It lasts about nine hours until the final dark tide ends.
This is Chu Xin's rough estimate, regarding the difference between the mid-term and late stages, because he has not been observing the situation in the Dark Land all the time, and he doesn't know whether it is accurate.
Just as he was about to control the golden man to go out and investigate the changes in his territory, Chu Xin's expression changed. He realized that an uninvited guest had come to his territory.
In his mental perception, something like a giant python was snaking on the ground.
And behind it, chasing a large black cloud-like thing.
Earth python clone!
Chu Xin used the map and instantly found out what this giant python-like thing was.
"Help me, help me." As soon as the earth python clone entered Chu Xin's territory, its spirit began to fluctuate, transmitting a signal for help.
I don't know if he is asking for help from Bingmeng or a lord like Chu Xin.
[Black Beetle]: The basic unit of the Zerg, no star rating, with extremely strong devouring and flying abilities, winning with numbers.
Information about the group of dark clouds behind was detected on the map. They were not ordinary bugs, but a type of Zerg army.
Chu Xin: I have a saying about MMP that I don’t know whether to say or not.
The appearance of these Zerg troops undoubtedly indicates that there is likely to be a new partner nearby, and it is very likely that it is a bug.
What's going on? Are they either bugs or undead, not even any compatriots?
In this situation, Chu Xin couldn't find help even if she wanted to.
"Go one step further and kill without mercy!" Chu Xin's floating spirit suddenly shook and he conveyed the message.
This is a new function he has just discovered. After the lord level is upgraded to four stars, he can directly transmit information through the spirit.
The body of the earth python clone stagnated slightly, but did not change direction at all, but continued to move forward without hesitation.
Judging from its appearance, it seemed to be preparing to lead the group of dark clouds behind it to the center of Chu Xin's territory.
Chu Xin: (?｀?Д?′)!!
Bingmeng, come out here. Who said that the ground python is not smart? I don't think you are smart.
No matter how stupid Chu Xin was, he could see something was wrong now. The ground python was twenty or thirty kilometers away from the territory, and it was underground, so it was not very afraid of these insects that burrowed into the ground.
There is only one reason for traveling all the way here.
This old guy is causing trouble!
