He was wearing heavy rune battle armor, and his pure white pupils carried no emotional fluctuations, lifeless like a puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a mechanical electronic sound rang out from the shuttle behind Duoxing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Combat trial initiated. A radius of 35 kilometers centered on me is your trial area. You must not leave the trial area during the trial, otherwise, it will be judged as a trial failure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaping out of the crater, the blue-haired puppet's gaze swept over the nearby scorched earth, then raised his right hand to press on the protruding metal knob on his left chest, turning it like winding a clockwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a series of crisp \"click\" sounds, the complex patterns inscribed on the battle armor lit up from the left chest and spread throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet boy also turned his head at this moment to look at the waning crescent moon hanging high in the sky, a solemn expression appearing on his face. With a wave of his hand, a black gemstone appeared in his right palm, and he clenched his fist tightly to crush it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powder from the shattered black crystal turned into black smoke and rose after coming into contact with the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the evil spirits in the Blood-Colored Plain area, as if they had smelled the scent of blood, came toward the puppet boy's location one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet boy crouched slightly, two blue light blades popped out from his wrists, and a hint of killing intent appeared in his pure white pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evil dogs with fangs resembling hyenas, dark ghosts whose limbs twisted as they moved like a rolling black ball, evil spirits permeated with corrupt black mist... and a large number of blood corpses; more and more evil creatures were attacking from all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet boy then turned into a blue stream of light and killed his way forward, his figure shuttling through the evil spirit crowd. The light blades in his hands were like scissors cutting through darkness; wherever he passed, the evil spirits were all split in two, turning into black smoke and dissipating, leaving only black crystals falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movement speed became faster and faster during the battle, like a dancer dancing gracefully among the evil spirit crowd, and the cold light raised by the blue sharp blades fluttered like a skirt following his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players currently exploring the Blood-Colored Plain area were curious about the unusual movement of the evil spirits and asked for the reason in the regional channel one after another:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the situation? Who knows what happened? Why are the evil spirits all running in one direction?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought I was going to die, but the evil spirits ran away on their own. Lucky to survive, happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Preparing to follow and take a look. Brothers, come into my live broadcast room to watch the live scene. Brothers with conditions, please tip some sacrificial power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the unusual movement of the evil spirits, curious players followed the direction the evil spirits were moving to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many players also seized the opportunity to open the live broadcast mode to provide live coverage for other players who could not rush to the Blood-Colored Plain in a short time, wanting to profit from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the players approached the area where the puppet boy was, the scene before them stunned them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue figure was like a dancer shuttling freely among the evil spirit crowd, and the evil spirits had no power to resist wherever the dual-wielded blue sharp blades passed, harvesting all nearby evil spirits in an elegantly extreme way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what the players cared more about was the black crystals all over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are energy crystals that only drop after evil spirits above level 10 are killed, which can be exchanged for sacrificial power income at the altar on the function panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of the players, the black crystals all over the ground were no different from cash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price of 1 point of sacrificial power had already been hyped to 150 credit points, and it was difficult to receive large amounts of sacrificial power, so they could only collect it in small amounts from solo players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage, whether it is brick-moving players or ordinary players, everyone wants to improve their strength first before considering income issues, and there is a huge gap in sacrificial power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the black crystals all over the ground, nearby players took action without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kept picking up the crystals on the ground and throwing them into their personal space bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players who saw this scene through the live broadcast also went crazy, leaving messages in various live broadcast rooms one after another:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, I beg you, report a coordinate in the regional channel, I am on my way to the Blood-Colored Plain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah ah ah, I'm still in resurrection cooldown. Watching you guys pick up money is more painful than killing me. You are not allowed to pick it up, do you hear me? Not allowed to pick it up anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This live broadcast gave me a heart attack. I wanted to eat melon and see what happened, but you made me watch this. I wish I could grow wings and fly over to pick it up with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The regional voice channel also exploded because of the money-picking incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players distributed in various areas of the Imperial Tomb Mountain Range gathered toward the Blood-Colored Plain one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players who arrived first were also completely crazy. They followed the movement of the blue figure and kept picking up the black crystals left on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet boy who was fighting at this time also discovered the group of players gathering behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw them picking up the black crystals on the ground, a thick killing intent appeared in the boy's pure white eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped moving forward at this moment and twisted the clockwork on his left chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally dim rune battle armor bloomed with brilliant light again after the clockwork was tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure then turned into a blue stream of light and changed direction, shooting toward the player group. His figure was the first to cross with a player; the player didn't even have time to see the puppet boy's appearance before the death prompt sounded in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the puppet boy's target for slaughter became players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a large number of players crossed paths with his figure, they turned into black smoke and dissipated, being guided back to Imperial Tomb Village by Yan Ming's spatial power to reshape their flesh underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, why did he start killing us? Should we run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, in the blink of an eye, my good brother was cut in half and turned into black smoke. This guy is too fierce.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run my ass, death only deducts 10 points of sacrificial power, and one evil crystal on the ground produces at least 5 points of sacrificial power. Just pick up two and you'll break even. Hurry up and pick it up now, use a sack to hold it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the puppet boy's attack, the players not only didn't retreat but became even crazier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone wanted to pick up more evil crystals before dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The puppet boy's information was also captured by players during the slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Duoxing (Heavenly Rune Clan)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting level: 53\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Target introduction: Descendant of the main line of the Heavenly Rune Clan, hailed as the strongest of the new generation of the Heavenly Rune Clan, currently undergoing combat trials before joining the Anti-Tide Legion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players who obtained the puppet boy's information immediately shared the parsed information in the regional chat channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was players on the scene or in other areas, everyone was shocked by the boy's hunting level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hunting level of 53 is a strength they have never encountered in the Imperial Tomb Mountain Range area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duoxing, who was slaughtering at this time, also discovered that something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he killed these lives that were snatching the evil crystals, the snatched evil crystals actually turned into black smoke with them and disappeared completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evil crystals are proof of his successful trial. Faced with the constantly decreasing evil crystals, Duoxing suddenly became anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his figure flickered, he grabbed the neck of a player who wanted to pick up evil crystals, lifted him in front of him, looked directly at the player with cold pure white eyes, and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are the evil crystals you picked up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duoxing's words were automatically translated by the parsing system into a language that players could understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player whose neck was grabbed heard this, and there was no fear of death in his eyes at all. His gaze was still scanning the glowing black crystals on the ground, then he raised his head, his face flushed, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me pick up one more and I'll tell you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duoxing: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1666,"2026-06-17T18:40:33.513Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6ab02ed726e7d2d1740d64d1a02adeb61ad9820c7bd22c99e4485d9c35c90715","the-monsters-are-coming-chapter-33","the-monsters-are-coming-chapter-31",373,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
