Chapter 39 The Six-Pointed Star of the Basin

The revival of the Divine City - Mission 3: The Lost Land's return has drawn the attention of the Demon and Buddha clans. Both races are currently amassing their armies to form a joint Demon-Buddha coalition, and will soon launch an assault. Players are tasked to proceed to the Demon-Buddha Ravine territory, destroy their teleportation altars, and buy the Divine City Revival some time to develop. Entry count: 1.

Special Note: The Demon and Buddha clans have already assembled an army of 500,000, and are rapidly gathering troops at a rate of 10,000 per minute! The longer players delay, the larger the joint Demon-Buddha army will become, and the higher the mission difficulty will be! If the enemy forces exceed one million, they will directly descend upon Fengle Village. This mission can be undertaken as a team, with a maximum of 10 players! Players are advised to assess their capabilities independently. If the mission fails, it will be permanently canceled, and Fengle Village will vanish.

Completion Rewards:

1. Fengle Village income of 10%, automatically sent to player mail after 24:00 daily.

2. One random commercial building and one random non-commercial building in Fengle Village.

3. Control of the third level of the Cursed Secret Realm. No submission required; rewards are obtained automatically upon completion!

It sounds intimidating, but did Ye Yun care?

Of course, he cared! What a joke!

However, what Ye Yun was concerned about was the change in the mission itself.

In previous missions, players were generally proactive, but this mission was clearly initiated by the monsters! The players were in a passive state.

He wondered, how many people or which faction could complete this mission? Let alone the descent of the monsters, even if one were to destroy the teleportation array, it might not be achievable even with all of Dragon Palace's manpower.

Moreover, this mission was no longer aimed at individuals, but at the mission owner's faction. The mission owner could form a team of 10 people.

Tsk, tsk…

Can I say that? I even suspect if I'm an illegitimate child of 'Heaven's Will'.

This mission coincided perfectly with the timing of the level ranking competition. It was a perfect fit for his plan to dominate the rankings.

Ten thousand troops per minute? Then I'll just wait a bit longer.

I'm so sick of grinding dungeons these past few days that if it weren't for my golden finger's cooldown ending today, I'd have liked to take a good break and take Xiao Ding Ding to the swimming pool I haven't visited yet.

Yes, definitely just for a dip.

Ten minutes later, at Ye Yun's summons, Zhou Ningdong and Chen Jiamiao arrived belatedly, along with two of Dragon Palace's first-tier team leaders. Ye Yun had specifically asked for them, as not bringing the full 9 teammates would be a waste.

"Boss, didn't you say you were taking us to a good place to grind monsters? Let's go." Among the nine people, only Zhou Ningdong was familiar with Ye Yun.

"No rush, let the bullets fly." Seeing his eagerness, Ye Yun couldn't help but chuckle. He wondered if they would be scared silly when they saw hundreds of thousands of troops.

Destroying the altars? Ye Yun had no intention of doing that. His plan was to devour all those hundreds of thousands of Demon and Buddha clan soldiers!

Ye Yun formed a team of 10. The reason a team could have 10 members was specific to this mission.

"Alright, don't wet your pants!"

"System prompt: You have entered the Demon-Buddha Ravine!"

The Demon-Buddha Ravine—ten square kilometers, originally a fringe area of Fengle Divine City, was later broken off by powerful Demon and Buddha clan experts and jointly controlled by both races! They had constructed a teleportation array within the ravine that led directly to Fengle Divine City, constantly supplying troops for the war against the Divine City!

Only Ye Yun, as the mission owner, knew about the introduction of the ravine. The other nine people, let alone the ravine, didn't even know why they were here.

Ten square kilometers, is it big? Yes, it's big enough to hold an army of millions. But if this entire region were a flat plain, then it would be too small.

"Monsters?" As soon as Ye Yun and his companions appeared, they saw a vast expanse of figures about two kilometers ahead. They had human-like forms and walked upright, but they either had tails or furry beast faces, which looked incredibly grotesque.

Beside these demons were groups of bald people. Some were humans, some were demons, of various appearances, but each had a Buddha seal on their foreheads, emitting a fiery glow.

"Demons my foot, these are the armies of the Demon and Buddha clans," Ye Yun explained, squinting as he looked at a faint light rising behind the allied forces, like a hexagonal pillar covered in Sanskrit and demonic script.

"Humans? How can there be humans here!" The moment Ye Yun's group appeared, they were spotted by the demons on the periphery, who cried out in alarm!

Humans?

Behind the army, two demons and Buddhas, adorned with starlight, watched the rising and increasingly bright pillar of light, their eyes gleaming.

"Feng Xi! Arrange for someone to kill them and prevent them from disrupting the portal's activation!" the demon general said coldly! A cat-person, small in stature but incredibly muscular, immediately obeyed and left.

"Yan Ti, you go too. The teleportation array is of utmost importance. Ensure it." An old bald man rotated his prayer beads, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"As you command!" A tall ox-headed monster shook the string of human skull necklaces around its neck. It followed the cat-person's footsteps, and the skulls emitted bursts of Buddhist light as they swung, occasionally accompanied by the laughter of human girls.

Looking at the dense army, Zhou Ning and the others swallowed, their faces filled with panic.

Damn it, are these monster armies that terrifying? Looking up, one would think it was an ocean, a vast expanse of blue. Hundreds of thousands of blue-grade general monsters! And the levels above the monsters on the outermost perimeter were all question marks, indicating that these monsters were at least 5 levels higher than them!

Is this your so-called good place to grind monsters?

A look of resentment flashed across their faces as they gazed at Ye Yun. Do rich players not look at levels and colors when grinding monsters?

"Look up, let's go. Do we really have to wait for them to attack us?" Ye Yun said, observing their expressions.

"Go, where?" They were stunned for a moment, then nodded. With so many monsters, it would take them from now until dawn to kill them all.

"Boss, are you going in the wrong direction?" Li Chenxu, who was looking around, suddenly saw Ye Yun heading towards the demon army and asked in confusion.

"No, this place is only this big! Isn't it great to charge into their midst and unleash our skills?"

Isn't it great? I...

The group opened their mouths as they watched Ye Yun summon his Black Ant.

As Ye Yun advanced, two platoons of several hundred enemy soldiers rapidly charged towards him.

-21800

The Black Ant led the way, instantly killing a demon at the forefront. It then began to take hits, with a series of misses and -1 damage.

Even the level 60 monsters in the hunting grounds fell before it. These level twenty-eight or twenty-nine monsters couldn't even break through its defense.

Behind it followed fifteen wild beasts of various kinds, some with ranged attacks, some melee, and some with thick hides and high defense. These were Jin Zhiyuan's pets. Fifteen years old, with fifteen level 20 pets! Her talent was truly terrifying. As long as her own attributes were high enough, she would be a nightmare for her enemies.

Jin Zhiyuan's eyes gleamed as she looked at these demons. If her beast-taming skill didn't become invalid for beasts exceeding her level by 5, she would have already tried.

"System prompt: Player has killed a Demon Race ordinary warrior of a higher level, gaining 8800 experience points!" Although each person in the ten-person team received only six-tenths of the experience, it was twenty times more than in previous dungeons!

"Holy crap, Boss, your subordinate is amazing!" Xie Yifeng's eyes lit up as he watched the Black Ant's performance, almost drooling. Such a pet was his ultimate dream.

Subordinate? What the heck.

"Alright, let's get to it. Nobody slack off." Compared to his envy, Ye Yun was utterly displeased. After reaching level 20, he had expected the Black Ant to gain an area-of-effect skill with multi-unit attacks, but to his surprise, its second awakened skill was passive: Bloodlust! Every attack had a 1% life-steal effect based on its attack power!

He had almost exploded at that moment. What good was so much HP to the owner if the master was dead?

Ten people, all combat professions except for Ye Yun. Once the battle began, the experience numbers flickered so much it made one dizzy. The hundreds of charging demons and Buddhas didn't even last twenty seconds, and Ye Yun and his companions didn't even pause.
