The surging heat flowed and merged in Qi Sheng's body, and the color of the Emperor Omen fire deepened accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time an Origin monster was contained, it was like finding a piece of the power puzzle, and Qi Sheng could clearly feel that his own strength had improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed that with the help of players, he would one day be able to walk out of Emperor Tomb Village and face the challenge of the terrifying Black Tide with his true Emperor Omen body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Boss, a new domain node has been discovered.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guide hovering beside him suddenly spoke, interrupting Qi Sheng's thoughts, and he decisively switched his line of sight to the perspective fed back by the Guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>15 minutes ago, southeast of Emperor Tomb Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray Mist Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The map fog dissipated, and the exploration reward arrived with a prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 2-person team that received the reward did not stop their steps and continued to explore into the dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the towering bone bamboo forest, the scene presented before them shocked the two players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was like a paradise on earth. A small path paved with fine pebbles led directly to the depths of the dense forest. On both sides were fluorescent grasses emitting soft, faint light. The air was filled with thin white mist, and every breath brought a hint of sweetness, which was refreshing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deepening inside, all kinds of plants were displayed before their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two people moving forward finally stopped in front of a spirit tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This spirit tree was several zhang high, with lush branches and leaves. Slender vines were wrapped around the trunk, and flowers of different colors bloomed on them. Every petal was crystal clear and emitted a faint fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focusing their gaze, the analysis information was presented in the minds of the two players:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Seven-Colored Wood】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit plant level: Level 4\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit plant introduction: A medium-quality spirit plant that is relatively rare in the Monster World. The flowers bloomed by its companion vines can present seven different colors following the rotation of time and seasons. Each color has different effects. In the winter season, when the cold wind howls, the Seven-Colored Wood presents a color interwoven with golden yellow and fiery red, entering the mature harvesting period (corroded by Black Tide energy, the growth state of the spirit plant has been destroyed, and the Seven-Colored Wood cannot change with the seasons, presenting a state of multi-color coexistence).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit plant efficacy: Eating it can obtain body-tempering experience, and it can also be used for special potions that provide amplification effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discovering that this was actually a Level 4 spirit plant, the breathing of the two team members became rapid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had never thought that such good luck would descend upon them in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monkey, are we going to get rich?\" The man with short hair in the team said with glowing eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player known as Monkey heard this and nodded excitedly, the depressed mood caused by the Lucky Turntable in his heart swept away at this moment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get to work, dig it up and hang it on the regional channel to see if anyone collects it at a high price. If not, then consider sacrificing it to Brother Emperor Omen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief exchange, the two immediately took action, took out their mining picks, dug the Seven-Colored Wood out from the soil by the roots, and put it into their spatial bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing all this, the two did not directly post sales information, but continued to explore into the depths of the dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt that there must be other treasures here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they soon noticed something wrong in the depths of the dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking deeper, black spots gradually appeared on the surface of the plants along the way. The further they went, the more black spots there were on the surface of the plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many plants hung down powerlessly, their leaves withered and yellow. Through analysis, it was discovered that the plants here had been corroded and damaged by the power of the Black Tide, nearly dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monkey, is there a corrosion core in here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just experienced the Dark Cave campaign not long ago, seeing such a strange scene, they subconsciously thought of the corrosion core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Guide's description, the corrosion core is a kind of Black Tide evil object naturally generated under the illumination of the evil moon. The area where it is generated will be gradually infiltrated by the corrosion core, and the environment will be severely damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The domain node crystal of the Dark Cave campaign had been entangled and infiltrated by the corrosion core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not sure, let's go deeper and take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5 minutes later, the two passed through a patch of withered fluorescent grass, and the view ahead suddenly opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the depths of the dense forest was a vast field, divided into square blocks. The spirit plants planted inside had all withered, and a faint fishy smell permeated the air. One could see a corrosion core pulsating like a tumor suspended in the center of the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fungal whiskers spreading from the core covered the surface of the field like a spider web, absorbing the power of the earth to nourish itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Challenger prompt also sounded at this time:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Challenger prompt: Domain node \"Cloud Field\" discovered.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Challenger prompt sounding, a patch of fog in the center of the Gray Mist Forest area on the map was dispelled, and a black tumor icon was marked at the location of the corrosion core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gazes of the two players focused on the spirit field ahead, and more detailed introduction information was presented in their minds:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Cloud Field】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Territory type: Resource\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Territory characteristic: Accelerated growth\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Characteristic introduction: Significantly accelerate the growth speed of spirit plants planted in the area covered by the node. Level 1 spirit plants can mature within 3-5 days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Domain state: Corrosion core entangled\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally it was just a guess, seeing the environmental changes and feeling that there might be a corrosion core ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn't expect the guess to come true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was actually an uncontained domain node here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monkey, if we break the corrosion core, the two of us can enjoy the purification reward alone. We are really going to get rich,\" one player in the team said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't mess around, there must be danger near the corrosion core, don't be impulsive and throw your life away,\" the player known as Monkey appeared very cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are no curse soldiers here. The bold starve to death, the timid starve to death. Playing a game and still being afraid of this and that, you kid are too cowardly, do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, the leading player decisively walked into the spirit field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Monkey could only choose to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he believed from the bottom of his heart that the corrosion core could not be easily destroyed and there must be potential danger, he still chose to follow his brother's footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked slowly, gradually approaching the corrosion core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a distance of less than 100 meters from the corrosion core, the leading player spoke on the voice channel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monkey, monster form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the voice fell, the two players switched to monster forms one after another, and their figures twisted and changed into gargoyle form and bone fire form respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his hands, the leading player's hands ignited with ink-colored flames, and after rapid consumption of mental power, he condensed a large fireball with a diameter of one meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not rush to make a move:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monkey, you go up first, I will follow up and output.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player known as Monkey felt helpless in his heart, but still ran toward the corrosion core. The leading player also shot a fireball at this time, flying straight toward the corrosion core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a simple tactic for the two when hunting outside, one responsible for taking damage, one responsible for output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as the ink-colored large fireball was about to hit the corrosion core, the black tumor suddenly contracted, and then the top sprayed a large amount of black mist, quickly forming a barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball hit it, the black mist surged violently, but did not break the defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a tentacle pierced the tumor and grew rapidly, whipping the player who was running and approaching away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dormant corrosion core was completely activated under the threat of external force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subsequent scene changes stunned the two players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally silent land seemed to be the gate of the abyss that had been opened. Countless black rotten plants sprang up from the cracks in the ground like awakened demons, emitting evil aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stems of these plants were twisted like snakes, the leaves were as black as ink, and the surface was covered with sticky rot liquid, growing in a rhythm close to a dance of demons, entangled with each other, weaving into airtight black nets, completely swallowing the already thin light around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with a nauseating musty and rotten smell, accompanied by the rustling sound made when the plants grew rapidly, like a demon whispering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene of demons dancing brought a strong visual shock to the two players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't even have time to escape before they were entangled and tightened by the corrosive plants, and their vision was shrouded in darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Origin Altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two players die, Qi Sheng did not feel surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every corrosion core has a very strong sense of territory and will actively attack all life outside the Black Tide system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just these two players, it was impossible to purify this domain node.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since this domain had been discovered, Qi Sheng decided to issue a new purification task to all players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He modified the reward for this task based on the domain characteristics of the spirit field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Cloud Field is a resource-type domain, there is a clear difference from the Dark Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This domain node needs to produce resources by planting spirit plants, so it certainly cannot be fully opened to all players after containment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it is easy to lead to problems such as disputes over the ownership of spirit plants and disputes over the right to use the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, for this purification task, he simply used the spirit field as a reward bargaining chip after the task was completed and issued the latest purification task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The full-channel prompt then sounded in the minds of all players:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Challenger prompt (full channel): Domain node \"Cloud Field\" discovered. Occupying the domain node can obtain rich rewards.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Task goal: Contain the Cloud Field domain node\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Task reward: Right to use the spirit field\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Detailed introduction: This purification task will distribute task completion rewards based on contribution value ranking. The top 1,000 players can obtain a small piece of land in the Cloud Field, which can be used for spirit plant planting and cultivation (spirit plant seeds can be purchased in the mall function panel)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit field characteristic introduction: Can significantly increase the growth speed of spirit plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Task duration: Infinite (until the node is occupied)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the purification task was issued, it attracted the attention of a large number of players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players discussed enthusiastically on the forum and regional voice channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? This purification task only rewards the top 1,000 with the highest contribution. Isn't this destined to have nothing to do with a weakling like me?

I'd better continue to team up to fight blood corpses, and by the way, find a powerful guild willing to bring a newbie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The discussion of this purification task among the player group was polarized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful players were ecstatic, believing that this purification task would bring them significant return on investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weaker players knew that this reward had nothing to do with them after seeing the task introduction, and had no intention of going to participate at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, major guilds organized manpower one after another, preparing to go to the new area of the map \"Gray Forest\" to brush purification task contributions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the players entered the depths of the Gray Forest and saw the scene of demons dancing on the Cloud Field, their high enthusiasm was immediately extinguished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason is very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Cloud Field controlled by the corrosion core, there were a large number of rotten plants with hunting levels of 30-45, which was simply not something that players could contend with at the current stage of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some guilds tried to use spirit energy bombs, they found that although spirit energy bombs could cause certain damage to rotten plants, the effect was far less useful than imagined. All rotten plants had strong self-healing abilities, which meant that the tactic of grinding blood through spirit energy bombs was meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only with absolute crushing strength could the \"Cloud Field\" domain node be contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Major guilds chose to give up temporarily one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the potential benefits of the Cloud Field stimulated the motivation of powerful players to upgrade and become stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>",2760,"2026-06-17T18:40:33.513Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b88d84c46508209f46f5a0b681d558d0ca0a11fc1860fe2aa4959c6bc588273c","the-monsters-are-coming-chapter-58","the-monsters-are-coming-chapter-56",373,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
