the next day.
early morning.
Ten hours have passed since the appearance of "The Fallen Abyss" and its spread from the depths of the Terrorclaw Forest.
The sentinels sent by Red Flame Town sent intelligence.
After just one night, they were able to detect a large number of corrupted creatures from the outskirts of the forest.
Moreover, the even more grim fact is that the number of these corpse-like monsters is increasing, and their range of activities is gradually expanding.
The Dreadclaw Forest can no longer satisfy them.
The next step to suffer is the villages around the forest, and the next step after that is...Red Flame Town.
But fortunately, most of the villagers successfully completed their evacuation with the help of the players yesterday under the guidance of Vivian and Little Wolf Cub, so now the remaining villages are just empty shells.
Moreover, although these corrupt creatures bite everyone they see, contaminating and assimilating all living creatures within sight, they do not seem to have independent consciousness, and they just follow their instincts and wander unconsciously.
Therefore, from the current point of view, there are still at least two or three days before they want to threaten Chiyan Town.
Mayor Solin breathed a sigh of relief after coming to this conclusion.
Because two or three days were enough for them to wait for reinforcements from Huodian City, and it was even more than enough.
At that time, once the elite mage troops arrive and use long-range magic to cover a large area, Thorin believes that it will be easy to destroy these unintelligent monsters.
Unfortunately...
The idea is beautiful, but Liao Zixuan knows that the reality is far from optimistic.
He is extremely familiar with "The Fallen Abyss" and knows that even now, those monsters infected by corruption seem to have no consciousness of their own and will only wander outside instinctively.
But this is actually because, deep in the Dreadclaw Forest, the real source of this "fall into the abyss", the skeletal dragon that absorbed the soul of Witch Bella, has not yet been completely digested.
Once it completes the "corruption" of Bella's soul fragment, it will completely evolve into the "Lord of the Abyss" and will simultaneously take over all the Abyss creatures that were infected and corrupted during this period.
Only then will the "demon wave" in the real SS-level emergency mission strike.
This is actually the classic routine of "falling into the abyss" in games for a long time to come.
First, find a powerful human or monster as a host and carry out secret transformation. During this period, you can rely on the influence of the host to indirectly corrupt surrounding creatures and accumulate strength.
In the end, waiting for the host to fall completely is equivalent to picking up a leader with terrifying strength for Fang Bai, the "fallen into the abyss", and then launching a general attack together.
This is what the Dreadclaw Forest looks like right now.
The future Flame Territory will be even more like this, and it will be more ruthless. It will directly use the God of Fire as the fallen host, and treat all the people of the Flame Territory under the rule of the Fire God as objects of pollution.
Therefore, this is also the second reason why Liao Zixuan is not optimistic about the situation in Chiyan Town.
Fallen Abyss has been around for so long, but Vulcan has not shown up yet.
It is obvious that the Vulcan at this time is already in a state of "degradation".
And when the rulers of the Flame Territory have problems, can you still expect the people below to be okay?
Liao Zixuan remembers very clearly that in the early stages of the game, many players had been complaining about why Huodian City was so corrupt. All kinds of dirty and dirty things happened one after another. Many NPCs in high positions even made a series of shocking things. Intelligent and stupid operation.
But when the game plot progressed later, everyone suddenly realized.
It boils down to one word.
The roots are rotten.
Under the influence of Vulcan being "degenerated", other people could not maintain their state of mind. They were all subtly changed and became evil, greedy, stupid...
It is still in the internal testing stage, so maybe the internal situation in Huodian City is not that bad.
However, out of caution, Liao Zixuan still maintained a conservative attitude towards the so-called "reinforcements".
But of course.
Only he, a little wolf cub, knew the real situation, and the players were happily preparing to go on the expedition.
"Three are missing and one is missing. We urgently need a priest professional. Come quickly!"
"Professional masters lead the team, steadily gain experience without overturning, let's have some good skills as warriors and professionals!"
"Do you have a good brother to guide me? I... my singing voice is super sweet!"
"The Master of Violence is here, does anyone want him?"
...
The sound of team formation can be heard in the square of Red Flame Town.
The little wolf cub made a general observation.
Among them, the warrior and priest professions are the most popular, but the mage is somewhat disliked because of his limited magic power in the early stage and his failure to use a few skills.
As for the Summoner profession that has attracted the attention of many players...
They are usually the team members shouting in the square, because the summoner's most critical summoning ritual requires the collection of materials.
Now that there are no summoned beasts, their combat effectiveness is not even comparable to that of priests.
It can be seen that only rich people can afford to play Summoner. It is precisely because Liao Zixuan knew this that he set a tuition fee of 5,000 experience points as the threshold.
This leads to the fact that basically all the people who can change careers into summoners are the bosses, so they naturally don’t have to worry about no one leading them through in the early stage.
What's more, for the sake of efficiency, after a long journey and a big watermelon in one mouthful, the others decided to get together and formed the largest and most luxurious team in the square, attracting many players to rush to join.
"Wait a minute!" Before leaving Chiyan Town, he suddenly thought of something and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Chang Lu looked at Big Watermelon a little impatiently. He was now very eager to go to the Forest of Terrorclaws to collect materials. He really wanted to get his first summoned beast.
But Da Xigua ignored him and instead faced the rear. They carefully selected from the square and formed a wild group of thirty or forty people.
Da Xigua glanced at these players. After receiving the sophisticated equipment from Vivian, he asked again:
"For insurance purposes, I would like to ask everyone. You should have seen the remarks on the equipment, right?"
Everyone nodded, their faces a little confused.
"Have you spent your experience to buy Vivian's favorability?" Da Xigua asked seriously.
Some people nodded, while a small number shook their heads indifferently.
The big native dog is either a dog or one of the latter.
He is a very shrewd person. He immediately identified the jungle group with the most potential and immediately joined it based on his own advantages.
But what he didn't expect next was...
"I'm sorry, everyone who didn't spend experience points to buy that little favorability point, please buy it now, otherwise..."
"Then please come back, we can't have you in our group."
Big Watermelon said to the players who were shaking their heads without hesitation.
The voice was decisive, leaving no room for discussion.
