Chapter 118: Black Wind Arrives (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Colorful Mist Coast.
Night fell, and the bright moon hung in the sky.
Several bonfires rose along the beach, and the crowd gradually increased as time passed.
Many of those who arrived were players who had spent the day struggling in the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range or the Underwater Shuijingdian, now coming to the Colorful Mist Coast to relax and unwind.
Under the night sky, they lay on the beach, gazing up at the brilliant starry heavens, enjoying various delicacies with ease, chatting and joking with companions in between.
Nearby, several stalls were temporarily set up; the vendors included both humans and non-human players, and shouts and sales calls constantly rose within the regional voice channel:
"Roasted Crystal Crabs, 12 points of Shou Shou Jili each, limited to three, first come first served."
"Freshly squeezed Diamond Fruit juice, 0.2 Shou Shou Jili per cup; brothers who haven't tasted it should come try, guaranteed to satisfy you. Also accepting orders for Spirit Food, bring your own ingredients."
"Gill-Fish Tribe specialty kelp mixed with Spirit Fish meat, a craft handed down from ancestors; everyone who's tried it says it's good, only 5 points of Shou Shou Jili per serving; human friends, come taste it quickly."
"Freshly caught Silver-Tail Fish; is there any master proficient in the Spirit Chef profession nearby to make me a Spirit Food dish with permanent attributes? I'll offer payment!"
"Fought in the Shuijingdian for three days and saved up a lot of lobster meat; is there any chef who can process it? Just private message the fee; if the price is right, this deal is yours."
The air was filled with the tempting aroma of food, and many players who had worked hard all day enjoyed this moment of beauty with ease.
Compared to the dark and oppressive Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range, everything on the Colorful Mist Coast seemed so relaxed.
The opening of this new map received full marks and glowing reviews from the vast majority of players.
It allowed them, amidst tense and thrilling hunts, to occasionally come to the Colorful Mist Coast to relax and unwind, enjoying the food and scenery.
During this time, warriors from the Gill-Fish Tribe and Abyss-Fish Tribe danced and sang on the shore, singing ancient songs from their homeland.
Their different physical structures gave them a vocal range surpassing humans; the ethereal and otherworldly songs sung with their unique voices gently washed over the listeners' hearts like soft waves, and after every song ended, nearby players applauded in support, creating a scene of harmony and beauty.
Just then, a player's call echoed in the regional voice channel:
"Brothers, it looks like there are many ships approaching from the sea!"
Hearing the call, players turned their gaze toward the sea, seeing a fleet approaching the shore under the bright moon.
The ship at the very front was shaped like a sea monster; the hull was a huge disc, a ferocious giant beast statue stood at the bow with eyes inlaid with brilliant gems, the hull was covered in eerie runes, and the sails were woven from a type of seaweed, swaying lightly in the wind.
The other ships in the fleet were each unique: some were shaped like streamlined sharks with sharp bows and narrow hulls; others resembled giant turtles with broad and stable hulls; and some were designed like islands, planted with abundant greenery, with several ropes extending from the bow, relying on sea beasts constantly leaping out of the water ahead to provide propulsion.
A single glance revealed at least dozens of large ships heading toward the Colorful Mist Coast.
Players lying on the sand rose to look out, all wondering about the purpose of this fleet's arrival.
At sea.
The night sea wind was noisy, making the flags on the warships flap loudly.
"Prepare to land."
Standing on the lookout tower, gazing at the land approaching closer and closer, Hearing Hei Yu spoke in a deep voice at this moment.
"Clan Leader, there is a group of lives on the shore; this is likely the territory of another race."
At this moment, the figure in white standing beside him frowned slightly and said.
"Try to make contact; if it is confirmed that their strength is weak, leave not one alive."
"Understood." The figure in white nodded, then transformed into a phantom and flew toward the rear.
After the subordinate departed, Hearing Hei Yu took a deep breath, his eyes flickering uncertainly, the veins on his clenched fist bulging.
Moving the entire clan was a decision he made out of necessity.
The frequency with which the Ancient God Clan captured clan members was increasing; only in recent times had thousands of clan members been taken to a mysterious arena; following this trend, the decline of the Black Wind Clan was inevitable.
He had also thought about launching a preemptive strike, and in fact, he had done so.
But this one strike almost led to the entire Black Wind Clan being buried alongside him.
One week ago, he had led his clan members in a surprise attack on an aircraft; the result was that the aircraft hovering in the air remained motionless, then a servant descended from the aircraft, merely glanced at them coldly, raised a hand and slapped the sea surface, instantly causing the sea to be cut by an invisible force, rolling up two towering giant waves.
The terrifying strength made him feel a fear that penetrated to the marrow of his bones, and also made him realize that even if all the clan warriors attacked together, they could not possibly be a match for this Ancient God servant.
Before leaving, the Ancient God servant captured another batch of clan members and left these words:
"As the weak, being able to become arena fighters to please the Ancient Gods is your honor."
This encounter made Hearing Hei Yu realize that there was an unbridgeable gap in strength between the two sides; if the strength of the Ancient God servants was so terrifying, one could imagine how powerful the Ancient Gods behind the servants must be.
Abandoning armed resistance, the only thing he could think of was to move the entire clan, seeking a new environment where Ancient God servants could not find them.
Only in this way could the crisis of racial extinction be avoided.
After several days of sailing, several islands along the way were garrisoned by powerful clans, so he could only choose to take a detour.
According to the sea charts recorded within the clan, he finally chose the Colorful Mist Coast.
According to the supplementary data attached to the sea charts passed down within the clan, the Colorful Mist Coast was once the territory of a powerful warrior, but that warrior had long since died, and it was now unclaimed land.
He did not expect that upon arriving this time, he would find that a clan was already inhabiting the shore.
His current thought was very simple: first try to make contact, judge the strength of the clan on the shore; if it is discovered that the opposing clan's strength is low, then wipe them out completely and occupy this land.
If the opposing clan's strength is powerful, then present the specialty resources of Black Wind Island as a greeting gift, and then lead the clan to change direction and seek a new homeland.
As thoughts swirled, the ship approached the shore, its bow lifting upward.
Once the ship stabilized, Hearing Hei Yu leaped onto the shore a step ahead of his clan members, his gaze sweeping over the figures on the sand.
"Is your Clan Leader present? The Black Wind Clan Leader has come to visit."
On the shore.
Seeing Hearing Hei Yu jump ashore from the lead ship, players immediately activated their analysis ability.
Immediately, relevant introduction information floated into their minds.
【Hearing Hei Yu】:
Hunting Level: 53
Target introduction: Black Wind Island, the Black Wind Clan Chief, possesses strong capabilities in both land and sea combat.
Hearing Hei Yu say he wanted to see the clan chief, the players were instantly stunned.
The thing called a clan chief, they truly did not have one.
Every player is an independent individual, subject to no class suppression, and they truly could not produce a clan chief.
Just then, someone suddenly spoke up in the voice channel:
"Tsk, isn't this a hidden quest? Just like the Ancient God Arena, next they'll take someone away. I wonder who is so lucky this time."
The players, originally curious in expression, instantly lost their composure upon hearing these words and rushed toward Hearing Hei Yu:
"I am the clan chief of the player clan. Brother, what do you need?"
"Holy crap, I am the clan chief! Don't try to steal my hidden plot from me."
"Get lost, you bastard! I am the clan chief! Everyone get out of the way; I'm taking this hidden quest."
"Look at me, look at me! They are all fakes. I am the clan chief, the real deal, genuine for young and old alike; fake one, compensate ten."
Amidst Hearing Hei Yu's confused expression, more and more figures gathered around, each opening their mouths to declare they were the clan chief and that the others were impostors.
They even began wrestling on the beach, and the chaotic scene grew increasingly intense.
It quickly escalated into a brawl involving hundreds of people, with new figures constantly emerging from the seabed or walking out of the rainforest to join the melee.
Hearing Hei Yu:...
This scene left Hearing Hei Yu stunned.
The thought processes of these beings before him were difficult for him to understand.
He had merely asked a single question about who the clan chief was, as if triggering some unknown switch, causing a conflict to erupt within this group.
In the voice channel, invisible to Hearing Hei Yu, it was also a complete mess:
"Hit him! That dog dared to hit my brother; you've been given too much face."
"That's the one! He hit me just now. I marked him in the squad; beat his face in."
"Do you think the God Slayer Guild has no one? Wait until I call people in the guild channel; none of you run."
"Holy crap, who hit my face? I was just standing here eating melons and watching you guys fight, how did you hit me too? I'm furious; I'll bite you to death."
Many players had their own entourage of friends and family; amidst the chaos, they decisively called for reinforcements in their guilds or squads.
This caused the scene to become even more chaotic.
Confused, Hearing Hei Yu stepped back several times, turned his head to glance at his clansmen who were gathering and arriving, and then began observing the players' performance in the brawl.
During this process, he discovered that these beings possessed weak physical constitutions, all fighting with fists, and seemed to have no special abilities.
After a brief observation, confirming that this group was insufficient to pose a threat, Hearing Hei Yu bared his fangs, turned to look at his clansmen, and spoke in a deep voice:
"Kill, leave not a single one alive!"
As the words fell, a swarm of Black Wind Clan warriors landed on the shore and charged toward the players who were wrestling together.
The players still fighting over the position of clan chief were also stunned.
What about the promised hidden quest? Why did they suddenly attack them?
Facing the fierce assault of the Black Wind Clan, the players released their Painful Painful Minghun traits to launch counterattacks.
However, the Black Wind Clan warriors generally had hunting levels above 35, making the combat power completely unequal.
At this moment, the main force of the player army was fighting in Beneath Di Zhao Mountain Range or the Shuijingdian under the sea; those on the shore were players here for leisure and vacation, unable to resist the Black Wind Clan's invasion and forced to constantly retreat toward the rainforest.
During this process, a player in the voice channel offered an analysis, believing the Black Wind Clan was purely an invading force, that their previous friendliness was merely a probe for intelligence, and that they decisively attacked only after discovering their low strength; it was not a hidden quest at all.
This viewpoint received agreement from many players.
The exchange in the voice channel consequently became harmonious:
"Bro, sorry about just now; make some room so I can cast a skill."
"No problem; friction between players is normal. This is the charm of the game; let's form a squad and fight together."
"Brothers over there, don't fight alone; come to our squad. We have stone gargoyles tanking so we can deal damage."
"Is there anyone from the Human Race willing to form a group? I have a Black-Armored Snake Painful Painful Minghun at level 13..."
Realizing the Black Wind Clan wanted to seize their sacred place for leisure and vacation, the players instantly became incredibly united.
Even though they had just been wrestling on the ground, they stood together without hesitation in the face of common interests and launched a counterattack against the Black Wind Clan.
However, the vast gap in strength forced the players on the shore to constantly retreat under pressure; from time to time, players turned into black mist and vanished, their souls returning to Beneath Di Zhao.
Before long, the entire coastline was slaughtered clean.
Many players who emerged from the seabed onto the shore were stunned by this sight, only to be killed by the attacking Black Wind Clan warriors.
Having finished all this, the Black Wind Clan began transporting supplies from their ships, entered the rainforest to find open ground to set up camp, and prepared to establish a new clan territory here.
The entire process went incredibly smoothly, leaving Hearing Hei Yu, the Black Wind Clan Chief, extremely surprised.
However, he did not let his guard down; he led a portion of his clansmen to patrol near the coastline, investigating whether other racial forces still existed to avoid being ambushed and surrounded.
At this moment, the player forum had exploded.
【We're doomed; you can't get out of the Colorful Mist Coast anymore.】
Poster: Healer Knows Martial Arts.
Content: Holy crap, how did the Colorful Mist Coast fall? I just logged on after the one-hour cooldown, thinking to go to the Colorful Mist Coast for a cup of Diamond Fruit Juice, but as soon as I exited the Colorful Mist Coast space, a dark-skinned big man carrying timber was right in front of me. After a stare-down, he put down the timber, drew his greatsword, and swung it at my forehead. What resistance does a Hawk-Headed Demon have? I didn't withstand two strikes before being slaughtered.
So I want to ask, what is the situation? Why is our doorstep blocked? I see many dark-skinned big men working in the distance. What happened?
Comment section:
Frenzied Little Chicken: What a coincidence. I was just fishing in the sea, and as soon as I got ashore, I ran straight into a burly dark-skinned man. We fought for three hundred rounds, and I narrowly lost. Checking the chat logs in the regional voice channel, it seems our doorstep has been invaded and occupied by alien races.
Is This a Beaver?: Huh? Invading right to our doorstep? Even the Black Tide and the Insect Tide wouldn't dare do this. Which Wang Ba cub has the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard to come pick a fight at the doorstep of the Colorful Mist Coast? Wait until my resurrection cooldown ends, and I'll rush over to reason with them (eating dirt and flipping the table. jpg).
The Hero Descending into the Game World: The person involved is speaking up. At the time, we thought it was a hidden quest and planned to approach them proactively, but they turned hostile, grabbed their weapons, and beat us terribly. My friends and family were all locked in a small dark room, depressed. I was too (brick-layer slams the table. jpg).
Brainstorm Challenge: Just thinking about it makes me angry. I was lying on the beach, eating grilled fish, watching the stars, and listening to the Goby Fish Tribe brothers sing. I was just sighing that this is what life is all about, when suddenly there was chaos by the shore. The Black Wind Tribe rushed in to kill. Halfway through my grilled fish, a group of burly men from the Black Wind Tribe hacked me to death with random swords. Wuu wuu wuu, my heart aches for the grilled fish I didn't finish.
Through the accounts of players on the scene, all forum players learned what happened at the Colorful Mist Coast.
Players who learned the news from the forum quickly passed it on to their friends, brothers, and guild chat channels, telling all other online players not to leave the newbie village space in the Colorful Mist Coast region to avoid being killed.
In response to this situation, players voiced their Ji De Kan Fa.
This loss has been swallowed, but as players, they never swallow their anger; they have always repaid hatred with hatred and resentment with resentment.
How to formulate a battle plan became a hot topic of discussion on the forum.
Until a post appeared, and players immediately found the direction for a joint operation.
【Brothers, wait a moment. My guild brothers and I will be online very soon.】
Poster: Divine Hall - God King
Content: Just now, I was fighting the Black Tide in the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range and was wiped out not long ago. I thought I'd check the forum for the latest strategies, but as soon as I entered the forum, I found my friend list messages exploding. Only then did I learn that the Colorful Mist Coast region had been attacked by a suddenly arrived alien race faction... We definitely have to avenge this. I am already contacting the leaders of several guilds. After I resurrect, I will organize personnel to head to the Colorful Mist Coast. When the time comes, we will charge together and let the Black Wind Tribe see what a natural disaster looks like.
Comment Section:
Is It Always Right?: I once joined your combat team; your command was excellent. This time, I will charge with you again.
Frenzied Little Chicken: God King, resurrect quickly and organize a charge of over ten thousand people. Just thinking about it is thrilling.
Divine Wings: We were fighting shrimp soldiers and crab generals in front of the Shuijingdian in the sea. Hearing this news, we decisively all sacrificed ourselves. We are too lazy to rush back. Wait for us, the brothers of the Divine Wings guild, for the joint operation. We will come as soon as we resurrect.
Heart of the Sea God: We, the Goby Fish Tribe, also apply to join the operation. Brothers of the Human Race, do not despise our low strength. The Colorful Mist Coast region is our lifeline for making money. Relying on the assistance of all you Human Race brothers to reclaim this region, we will do our utmost to help. Charge!
Ao Wua Ao Wua Big Shark: We, the Abyss Fish Tribe, are also joining. Brothers from several guilds have already been contacted. We are just missing a commander for the charge. When the time comes, let the OP start a combat team, pull everyone participating into it. We will listen to command the whole way, hitting wherever pointed. Although our strength is indeed a bit poor, we guarantee obedience to command.
Wild Wind Sweeps the Earth: Hearing this news, I was stunned. There are still factions daring to block our village entrance and kill? They simply do not take us seriously. Even the Black Tide and the Insect Tide dare not be so arrogant when they see us. They really have been given too much face. Oppressing the weak, are they? Wait until we show them what true oppression of the weak is, and what the cycle of resurrection tactics is.
Hamster Party Player: So excited. We can participate in a large-scale team battle again. The last time I joined the God King's joint combat team was over half a month ago. Recently, they wouldn't let me join. The management said I was slacking off in battle qvq. Actually, I wasn't slacking off at all; I'm just purely bad. But large-scale team battles are really passionate.
Hello Stupid Dog: I was eating when my good brother called to say he was killed by an alien race at the Colorful Mist Coast. I hurriedly finished eating and went online to understand the situation. Add me to the joint operation. Level 32 Gargoyle Painful Painful Minghun, Level 23 Taunt, Body Tempering Level 2. It is time to let the Black Wind Tribe see what a painful memory is.
Is This a Beaver?: By the way, where are the Gene Two Fierce? They possess the only two Painful Painful Minghun in the entire server. It would be interesting to have them participate. The amount of damage output doesn't matter; the main point is ultimate torture. I am very much looking forward to their performance (silly. jpg).
The actions of the Black Wind Tribe in the Colorful Mist Coast region completely enraged the player community.
Players exploring the Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range rushed back to the village and used the teleportation array to head to the Colorful Mist Coast region to prepare for battle.
And many players who could not make it back simply chose to die on purpose to return home, waiting for their resurrection cooldown to end before logging on to fight.
Under the surge of public anger, the player community was united as never before.
Even guild players who usually could not stand each other expressed their intention to join this joint operation.
This included players from the Goby Fish Tribe and the Abyss Fish Tribe.
Unlike the internal disunity of the Human Race players, the Goby Fish Tribe and the Abyss Fish Tribe have smaller populations, and their internal management model resembles a clan management system, making it easy to unite and organize all players.
Furthermore, the Colorful Mist Coast region is their most important source of income, so they attach special importance to this operation.
At this moment, what the Black Wind Tribe members, who were still happy about easily occupying the Colorful Mist Coast region, did not know was that an endless player natural disaster was brewing, waiting only to erupt.
