Chapter 110: Roles Reversed

"Senior Su, I remember the military district over at the supply base has mage towers that can monitor the situation inside the Howling Wind Mountain Range.

Why do we still need to head back to the base to report the situation?"

Zhou Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

The mage towers within the military district, radiating massive fluctuations of magical energy, had left quite an impression on him.

Logically speaking, if otherworldly creatures appeared in the outer region, they couldn't possibly be unaware.

Reporting the situation by manpower like this was not only dangerous, but also a huge waste of time.

"The military district's mage towers mainly monitor the depths of the Howling Wind Mountain Range — the movements of those epic-tier and legendary-tier high-level magical beasts."

"The outer region of the Howling Wind Mountain Range, which has at most Gold Rank level 30 magical beasts, is actually monitored with very little intensity."

Su Qinglian, who had just recovered from her gloomy mood, explained.

After a pause, she added with some hesitation:

"Moreover, the otherworldly creatures that appeared this time are very strange — their levels are too low."

"Levels too low?"

Zhou Yi was somewhat confused.

A level 22 Silver Rank demon couldn't possibly be considered a low-level monster by any measure.

"You've only just entered Su University and haven't started classes yet, so you don't understand."

"Our school has a course specifically explaining otherworldly creatures that cross over through otherworld rifts."

"According to the instructor's description, generally speaking, otherworldly creatures that cross over are at least level 35."

"But this time, the eight Flame Demon Warriors we encountered — even the highest level among them was only level 23."

"The higher the level of an otherworldly creature, the stronger the otherworld aura it emits."

"Conversely, the lower the level, the weaker the otherworld aura it carries."

"The otherworld aura being too weak is also one of the reasons the military district's mage towers failed to detect the abnormal situation here."

With Su Qinglian's explanation, Zhou Yi finally understood.

After the Eternal Game merged with the Blue Star World.

Otherworld rifts would suddenly appear in many places across the Blue Star World.

And over 98% of these otherworld rifts were extremely tiny — not large enough to let otherworldly creatures cross over.

Although no otherworldly creatures would cross through these rifts into Blue Star.

Areas where rifts appeared would likewise emit otherworld aura.

And the entire Howling Wind Mountain Range, being a map that appeared after the game merged with the Blue Star World.

Naturally contained many otherworld rifts within it.

It should be precisely because of this that the military district set a threshold concentration for otherworld aura.

And now.

Because the demons' levels were too low, the otherworld aura they emitted was judged by the military district as aura naturally emitted by the otherworld rifts within the mountain range.

Therefore, the military district failed to notice the abnormality here.

"Why would the otherworld send over demons in the 20s? Isn't that superfluous?"

Su Qinglian's delicate brows furrowed slightly, unable to figure it out.

A level 23 Silver Rank demon might be terrifying for ordinary professionals.

A typical team of all level 23 professionals would have no way to handle it.

But placed on the battlefield where the otherworld and Blue Star clash, it was utterly unremarkable.

Not even fit to be cannon fodder.

And an otherworld rift capable of letting level 23 demons pass could likewise let high-level demons above level 50 pass.

Therefore.

Generally, whenever there was an otherworld invasion, it would be an entire legion — or even several legions — invading at once!!

Such otherworld legions would have all members at least level 40 and above!!

And although this batch of 20-something-level demons looked ferocious, once the strong ones at the base noticed.

Casually dispatching a legion in the 30s would be enough to wipe them all out.
