The increasingly distinct ground shaking indicated the huge number of approaching monsters.
Judging from the virtual map, the starting point of these alien armies was unified at four fixed coordinates, but their advantage was that they were continuous and endless.
The Satan team, which was the first to choose the location, saw them. They were located in the southwest, almost facing one of the alien exits, and were facing such a shock directly.
Xi Qinxin was dressed in a neatly modified white Hanfu and held a long sword in her hand. The ribbon on the hilt fluttered in the sharp wind.
It was rare to see such a huge battle, but there was no fear in her elegant features. Instead, she chuckled. “Is this the instance prepared for the quarterfinals? It is quite interesting.”
The other team members were already in place, and they laughed when they heard this. “Captain, we are ready.”
“Then let’s get started.”
The front-line troops of the alien army were approaching. The moment her voice came out, the long sword in her hand started to fly.
[Personal skill: Long Chant of the Phoenix.]
The sharp cry of the phoenix pierced the sky in an instant. The ground that was shaking seemed to stop.
The alien army that had already approached started to struggle and roar without warning. At this moment, their eardrums were about to burst, followed by waves of darkness that filled the eyes. The severe headache deep in their minds made the monsters lose control and stumble as they attacked. Before they could get to Xi Qinxin, the feeling of the cells in their bodies being madly torn apart made their eyes widen. As they fell heavily to the ground, the organs in their bodies violently surged, and they spat out several mouthfuls of blood. Looking around, one could catch a glimpse of the soft tissues that were still wriggling faintly.
The long sword swirled in front of her. Xi Qinxin received He Yuanqing’s reminder in advance and took two steps back, remembering to keep a sufficient distance from these alien species.
There wasn’t a speck of dust on her white clothes. Seeing that her teammates took advantage of the monsters’ confusion due to her sonic attack to launch an attack, she glanced back in the direction of the other teams.
This number… it wasn’t a big problem for them to deal with, but the disparity was too great. Would someone let a monster slip through?
Xi Qinxin’s phoenix cry spanned most of the battlefield. Lang Xuelin, who was on the other side, rubbed his ears and said, “I can only say that it was a wise choice to stay away from the Satan team.”
The team members beside him were ashamed when they heard this. “Indeed, otherwise, we might’ve bled to death before even defeating the monsters.”
“Sooner or later, someone will have to deal with her noise pollution.” Lang Xuelin retracted his gaze. His usually gentle eyes calmed down when he saw these ugly aliens. “But now, I’m afraid we need to hurry up and grab some points.”
As he finished speaking, the others could feel that the withered plants around them were faintly moving. They all smiled at each other.
It was their captain’s personal skill: Force of Nature.
The vibrations coming from underground became increasingly distinct.
Compared to the trampling that was heard before, at this moment, it seemed that something was trying to break out of the ground.
Finally, vines formed by the roots of various plants emerged from the ground like whips tens of meters thick. They covered the sky and smashed down towards the nearby alien army.
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere. Corpses were scattered all over the ground.
In every corner of the battlefield, each team showed off their personal skills. The thick smell of blood had already filled every bit of the air. All that remained was the frequently flashing brilliant light and shadow.
Under this grand and spectacular scene, the battle scenes in various areas were broken down into the live screen images from the main perspective of each team, directly impacting the vision of the watching players.
Before this, the personal live stream rooms of these bigshots had always been popular. The personal skills of the top players had never been a secret.
However, the instances before this had never brought such a direct and strong shock as this time.
Just standing there and watching this battle scene, the players’ subconsciously clenched hands were trembling slightly.
So this was the real gap between the top players and them… They really didn’t understand the world of bigshots.
As soon as the top teams in the front top action, the originally mighty alien army was visibly intercepted.
However, in the midst of all this blood and gore, there was still a stream of clarity. It was so eye-catching because it was lazy.
As the Jazz team was circling their area of responsibility, they deliberately chose the back. They said it was due to the small number of people in their team and their own strength. Now that the entire alien army was blocked in front, the three figures waiting there seemed to be just spectators.
This team’s behavior in the previous instance wasn’t pleasing, but the fact that they could enter the second round was enough to show their strength. Their current behavior suddenly made people feel incomprehensible.
“What does Jazz mean by this? After the first round, they finally realized they weren’t strong enough and wanted to win the second round by relying on others?”
“If they are really scared, they can choose not to enter the game this time, right?”
“Speaking of which, I don’t seem to have any impression of what the individual skills of these three people are.”
“Don’t say that. I think the captain of the Jazz team made a wise choice this time. Sometimes, you really can’t be too arrogant. Don’t you see who their opponents are? It is completely understandable that they obviously aren’t as good as the others and just want to get through safely.”
“Oh, you are only talking about the Jazz team. Isn’t there another team doing nothing?”
The people in the instance couldn’t hear the communication outside. At this time, Qi Xiu had already zipped up his jacket to the top, blocking out the whistling sand and wind around him. He leaned against the wall and looked up. His gaze fell on the line of figures not far away. He passed through the crowd and kept his attention on the person in the center.
Qu Leng noticed this person’s gaze and laughed. “If you are really worried, you can go over and help.”
Qi Xiu withdrew his gaze upon hearing this. It wasn’t known what he was thinking of, but he smiled and shook his head. “He doesn’t need my help.”
Chi Ting.
Judging from the current situation, the Dawn team he led was undoubtedly another team that hadn’t acted yet.
He could vaguely feel Qi Xiu looking at him, but it obviously wasn’t the right time to pay attention to these things.
Judging from the current battle situation, the leading teams had firmly resisted the offensive of the alien army on the front line. However, Chi Ting’s face didn’t show much relief.
He scanned the scene ahead countless times before turning back to Lu Nanling. “How is it now?”
In the midst of the diffuse yellow sand, one could vaguely catch a glimpse of a faint white light quietly spreading from Lu Nanling’s side. It unknowingly and silently spread to every corner of the battlefield.
[Superpower: Data World.]
In the monocle hanging in front of his eyes, countless data were intertwined. His vision was confused for a moment.
In the midst of the explosive amount of information, the alienation levels of all players in the instance was gradually captured.
Hearing Chi Ting’s question, Lu Nanling’s voice was as calm as ever. “The alienation degree has indeed increased to a certain extent. Fortunately, you reminded them to pay attention to the contact in advance. Judging from the current speed of improvement, everything should still be within a controllable range. It shouldn’t be a problem to stably resist this first wave of monster attacks.”
Such words passed through his ears but didn’t make Chi Ting’s expression relax in the slightest.
He thought for a moment before asking another question, “Are you sure there is no problem with the initial alienation degree you collected?”
Lu Nanling replied, “I’m sure.”
He naturally knew why Chi Ting asked this, and he was very straightforward. “I have actually discovered a long time ago that in this unlimited world, all players who have awakened their personal skill have a certain degree of alienation. I think the probability that these ‘personal skills’ are related to our ‘superpowers’ is as high as 90%. To be precise, perhaps the birth of us superpowers is indeed related to the unlimited world.”
Hua Qianmei laughed. “Are you trying to say that we might actually be NPCs in these instances?”
Lu Nanling replied, “That might not be the case, but the probability is as high as 50%.”
Hua Qianmei said it casually. She didn’t expect Lu Nanling to take it so seriously. After a pause, she sighed and said, “It is still half and half. It is the same as not saying anything.”
She was afraid that if she continued chatting like this, she would be confirmed as an NPC in just a few words. Therefore, she looked at Chi Ting decisively and changed the subject. “Captain, isn’t it time to move around? Look at the way these new recruits are processing it. The alienation level is indeed not high now, but this is only the first wave. If they continue like this, they will all be buried here sooner or later.”
Chi Ting nodded. “Indeed. I will say hello to Captain He first. You guys should get ready.”
The battle on He Yuanqing’s side was also very fierce.
He was crushing the heads of several alien species under his feet when the communicator rang. He didn’t hear such a subtle prompt for a while, and only answered it after it rang several times.
Chi Ting’s voice came intermittently from the other side. After finally hearing it clearly, He Yuanqing was slightly stunned. “Aftermath? At present, the battle situation in various areas is relatively stable. You…”
Chi Ting told him, “In short, please talk to the other captains to avoid accidental injuries when the time comes.”
He Yuanqing didn’t quite understand Chi Ting’s intentions, but he thought about it and nodded. “Okay, I’ll tell them right away.”
“Thank you.” Chi Ting smiled politely. Then he said as if just remembering, “Brother Ren should come over to your place later. He will tell you the details.”
“Lou Yueren?” He Yuanqing frowned. His first reaction was to refuse. Before he could open his mouth, he heard the communicator being cut off.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the device in his hand, which was only busy. He was silent for a moment before turning around to remind his busy team members, “Hurry up, we might lose points later.”
The players nearby overheard because they were close to each other. They were a bit confused when they heard the words. “Grab the points? Didn’t Captain Chi say he was here to help clean up the aftermath?”
He Yuanqing laughed with an ambiguous tone. “As long as you are a bit familiar with that man, you will know that heaven and earth will be destroyed if he doesn’t grab the ready-made contribution points.”
