he snapped the neck of the player before him, transformed into a blue phantom, and resumed his slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet amidst the killing, Duan Xing still could not unravel his confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After slaying all these disruptive lives, Duan Xing could not feel any joy, for these lives would turn into black mist and vanish upon death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evil crystals used as proof for the trial disappeared along with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his emotions deep within his heart and turned expressionlessly toward the surging Black Tide of evil spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click~ click~ click~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mainspring wound tight, emitting crisp clicking sounds; the rune armor reignited, and Duan Xing became a streak of blue light, charging once more into the Black Tide of evil spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Duan Xing fought, the regional voice channel was incredibly lively, with players discussing this warrior named Duan Xing and the evil crystals scattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although nearby players had been killed and logged out of the game, more envious players were already on their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the players, the evil crystals covering the ground were full of temptation; compared to them, the loss of 10 points of Sacrificial Power upon death seemed negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, players began to arrive one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Duan Xing noticed, the arriving players had already entered a frenzied looting Cultivation Mode, scouring the ground for evil crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the corners of Duan Xing's mouth twitch, despite his usually expressionless Iron Face; he decisively changed direction and lunged at the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he slew the dozens of newly arrived players, he found the evil crystals on the ground had noticeably decreased; a flush rose on his pale skin, and the fury in his eyes seemed ready to erupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the finest warrior among the reserves of the Counter-Black Tide Legion, this slaughter trial was his final step to prove himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he completed the trial, he would be promoted to a full member of the Counter-Black Tide Legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would absolutely not allow himself to fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After rotating the energy core left by his father to recharge his rune armor, Duan Xing turned to Iron Face the approaching evil spirits and launched another charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the midst of battle, Duan Xing's steps were light and agile, moving like a ghost through the encirclement of evil spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his twin blades danced, sharp sounds of breaking wind followed closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, an evil spirit life five meters tall appeared ahead; black mist swirled around its body, its Iron Face was ferocious, and its bloated lower limbs supported a body on the verge of decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Xing's steps did not pause in the slightest; his figure crossed paths with it, and instantly an X-shaped mark of light appeared on the giant evil spirit's chest, splitting its body into four parts, yet not a drop of the splashing black slime touched him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the frenzied slaughter, Duan Xing became the God of Death, weaving freely through the horde of evil spirits; the twin blades seemed alive in his hands, sometimes becoming sharp swords that cut, other times transforming into rotating storms that tore apart, each swing accompanied by the death of several evil spirit lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the height of his exhilaration, Duan Xing roared toward the sky, his long blue hair dancing in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the corner of his eye caught sight of a group of sneaking lives appearing once again, his smile vanished abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... deserve to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reserve warriors of the Counter-Black Tide Legion were not allocated storage space for items; all he could do was kill a sufficient number of evil spirits, then use the \"Coordinate Star Stone\" installed on the shuttle to summon a trial inspector from the Counter-Black Tide Legion to verify completion and end the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this group of never-before-seen creatures had become the greatest obstacle to his completing the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the sneaking mysterious creatures in the distance, their shifty glances cast toward him from time to time made the fury in Duan Xing's heart surge upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decisively shifted his target and lunged at the group of players happily collecting money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Duan Xing charge, the regional chat channel instantly exploded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brothers, grab quickly! The God of Wealth is coming with two great cleavers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This God of Wealth is so stingy; we only picked up a few evil crystals, why is he so angry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, brother next door, you've abandoned all dignity just to pick up evil crystals, crawling around on the ground—isn't that shameful? Stand up and let me loot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Duan Xing arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Duan Xing could not understand was that even with him right before them, the gazes of these mysterious creatures remained fixed on the evil crystals, as if they did not care at all about being about to be killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the evil crystals diminish one by one, Duan Xing's killing speed suddenly accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few breaths, he had crushed this entire group of players, reducing them to vanishing black mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he looked up toward the distance, he discovered hordes of mysterious creatures were advancing toward this location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Duan Xing chose not to continue slaughtering evil spirits; he turned his body to Iron Face the approaching horde of players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the sound of gears meshing, the rune armor burst forth with brilliant light, and he transformed into a streak of blue light, shooting forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a moment, over a hundred players were slaughtered to the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There he is! The God of Wealth is right there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shouts coming from the distance made Duan Xing, who was preparing to continue slaughtering evil spirits, lift his head to see vast numbers of players attacking from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sight made Duan Xing's scalp go numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, these mysterious creatures were far more troublesome than the evil spirits; although their bodies were weak, wherever they passed, evil crystals would inexplicably disappear, and under their disruption, his trial mission simply could not be completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath to steady his emotional fluctuations, Duan Xing charged once more at the approaching players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after consecutively slaughtering dozens of waves of arriving player groups, Duan Xing was completely numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the mysterious creatures attacking not only did not decrease, but continued to increase, even surpassing the number of arriving evil spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he killed, the more appeared; they were simply endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, these mysterious creatures did not attack all at once, but came wave after wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant he could not wipe them out in one sweep; he could only fight the evil spirits while constantly monitoring the movements of the mysterious creature groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repelling 87 waves of players, Duan Xing's mentality completely exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the players rushing toward him from afar, his eyes revealed deep despair; then he leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of light flying toward the direction of the Ancient Battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, north of the Ancient Battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting and recovering his stamina, Duan Xing took out a lure crystal and crushed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As black smoke rose, the nearby evil spirit lives, tempted, surged toward his location one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new round of slaughter began once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Duan Xing was killing to his heart's content, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, then whipped his head around to look in the direction the sound came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he saw were dozens of familiar figures, with the leader among them pointing excitedly at him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look quickly, the God of Wealth is right there! Brothers, charge with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, finally found him! Zongzi, send the coordinates to the guild chat channel and call all the brothers over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk~ I can already smell the fresh fragrance of dissipating evil crystals; each one exchanges for cash starting at 750, the air is thick with the scent of money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, a trace of despair surfaced in Duan Xing's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Counter-Black Tide Legion's trial involved random cross-space deployment to the Crescent Moon–First Quarter Moon scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had firmly believed that even if deployed to the First Quarter Moon scenario, relying on his strength as the strongest among the reserves, he would still be able to fight and would certainly complete the trial mission, continuing to join the Counter-Black Tide Legion as a new recruit in the posture of the strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the appearance of this group of mysterious creatures had completely disrupted his trial action of slaughtering evil spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Choosing to actively retreat already felt like a humiliation to him, but for the sake of completing the trial, he endured it; yet he never expected these mysterious creatures to push their luck and attack once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fists slowly clenched, and a bloody glimmer surfaced in Duan Xing's pure white eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have bullied me too much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1525,"2026-06-19T09:20:35.554Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e2425027820a103021c8a4f9967b917bac71242b778577b396b42403cc13bb04","monsters-are-coming-chapter-38","monsters-are-coming-chapter-36",393,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
