Chapter 597 Players’ panic, the devil emerges from the abyss
After Kalu left, Richard was still thinking about the next situation.
But a sudden reminder in his ear brought him back to his senses.
"Ding~ The Corruption Swamp has swallowed up enough flesh and soul energy. The level has been upgraded from level four to level five. The range has been expanded by 20 kilometers. The current range is 60 kilometers in diameter."
"The upper limit of the number of troop nests is increased by 20. The current number of troop nests is 50. The upper limit is 70. The current number of troop nests is 22,000 (Hui Yue 3 stars)."
"The level of the troop nests has been upgraded from Huiyue 3-star to Extraordinary 3-star. The produced troop nests and recruited units can automatically upgrade to the Extraordinary 3-star level after consuming flesh, blood and soul energy."
"Ding~ The hero of the Corrupt Swamp - Thor (Spear of Death) has been upgraded to level 23, promoted to extraordinary, and all skills have been upgraded by one level."
The Corruption Swamp has been upgraded to level five! ! !
Richard's face showed excitement.
It’s not easy!
After planning for so long, and even killing a large number of armies of the Lord of Rot and the God of Knights in the process, he was promoted to level five.
The difficulty can be described as abnormal!
But no matter what, I’m finally happy now
Because from now on, the Corruption Swamp can directly produce extraordinary soldiers! !
What does this mean?
The foundation of Twilight City has grown by leaps and bounds!
What's more important is that the troops inside do not need to spend resources to recruit! As long as there is enough flesh and blood, a steady stream of extraordinary soldiers can be born!
With this characteristic, Corruption Swamp has become one of the most powerful trump cards in his hand!
The killing weapon he has been cultivating for so long has finally taken shape!
Unable to suppress the emotions in his heart, he immediately got up and went out, arriving at the Corruption Swamp.
The moment he walked through the space gate of the Eternal Land and stepped into the area shrouded in blood mist, Richard immediately felt a cheer rising in his heart.
The surrounding blood mist began to swirl around him.
This red purgatory welcomes its master.
Richard could clearly feel that the blood mist of the Corrupt Swamp had become much thicker, and the power inside was becoming more and more terrifying.
Even if the top troops come to this evil land, their sight will be blocked, their perception will be blocked, and they will become blind.
The diameter of the corrupt swamp has reached 60 kilometers, enough to accommodate several large cities with a population of one million.
Even if it is flat ground, it would take six or seven hours for ordinary people to walk across it.
It is worth mentioning that after the God of Fraud and Lies lost his authority, he could no longer use the divine power of deception to cover the ancient trees in the center of the Corrupt Swamp.
The ancient divine tree that can bear golden fruits was exposed to the eyes of all the troops. No, it should be said that it was exposed.
The blood mist blocks everything, and if you don't control it, it won't be easy to find it.
But losing the cover of the deceitful divine power did not affect the hunting plan of the Corruption Swamp, because the Greedy Lion was still there.
This level 24 boss has mediocre frontal combat power, but it is more deadly than the combat-type extraordinary.
Greed is the biggest enemy of intelligent life, and there is no cure.
The lion of greed is the intensifier of greed.
Those beings who had tasted the sweetness of the golden fruit became even more crazy because of the exposure of the ancient divine tree and their rising greed.
But what attracted Richard's extra attention was that the ancient divine tree that had not yet completed its transformation was already showing extraordinary features.
Those who approach the ancient tree and try to seize the golden fruit will have their lives deprived of them without exception.
As long as you step within a hundred meters, you will feel like you have fallen into the long river of time. After a few breaths, you will age and die, then turn into mummies and then weather into debris.
No one can really get close to the ancient tree of evil.
Those long-range units that attack with bows, arrows and magic are also attacked in the same way as those units that step within a hundred meters, and are instantly melted.
This scene is horrifying.
Richard felt a little frightened when he saw this scene.
The aura exuded by the ancient divine tree has a permeating feeling that makes one's soul tremble.
Extremely evil exists.
After this boss swallows the heart of the Chaos God, I don’t know what changes will occur.
The gods are not gods. The gods do not control authority and only rely on the power of their own divinity to survive.
Therefore, at this moment when the gods have lost most of their power, some extremely evil existences have not been knocked to dust.
However, due to the constraints of the rules, some of their power has been suppressed and they no longer become so destructive. However, even so, they are still more powerful than gods who have been completely deprived of their authority.
However, Richard didn't know this information at the moment, otherwise he might be even more emotional.
During the few minutes he was observing, a golden fruit fell from the ancient tree of evil.
The fruit did not fall directly to the ground but arced across the sky and landed outside the death zone.
The greedy beings around him immediately surged forward like crazy, and an extremely violent conflict broke out.
This fight lasted for nearly an hour, and the decaying swamp that devoured the corpses at a greatly increased speed had no time to digest it, causing the corpses to pile up into small hills.
The last golden fruit was snatched by a group of fierce dungeon centaurs.
When the other party swallowed the golden fruit, the thick fog quietly faded, allowing most people to see the centaur commander.
The whole process of the other party's swallowing was exposed to everyone's eyes.
After taking the golden fruit into his mouth, within a few breaths, its aura immediately surged.
This scene made the surrounding troops even more fanatical, constantly crowding around to get a good position
Just when Richard was observing the action on the field with great interest, the God of Fraud and Lies, wearing a black cloak and with a transparent body, quietly arrived.
"Sir." The god who had been deprived of his authority saluted respectfully, his attitude no different from that of the residents of Twilight City.
Richard was also very satisfied when he saw the other party's change.
"Your Majesty Tyrone, how many planes are currently connected to the Naga plane?"
"After such a long period of consumption, it seems that the number of surrounding troops has not decreased"
The God of Lies said in a deep voice.
"Sir, with the help of the El Players Association's network, I learned the coordinates of many planes, and then used the Void Sandworm to forcefully open the passage. Currently, the Corruption Swamp has connected 53 planes."
oh? Can you still play like this?
Richard became interested.
"How long will it take to promote the more than 20,000 Huiyue soldiers in the Corrupt Swamp to extraordinary?"
The God of Lies said in a solemn voice.
"According to the current hunting speed, it will take at least three months."
After all, there are more than 20,000 Huiyue troops. This process requires reserving enough energy to recruit new troops every week.
Three months later, Richard frowned.
"Is there a faster way?"
The God of Lies showed some deep meaning in his eyes.
"Sir, you are the president of the El Players Association."
Richard smiled.
"Just say what you want to say."
The God of Lies whispered.
"I have had a lot of dealings with Lord Divine Grace during this period. Treasures that can enhance one's own potential are treasures worth exchanging for anything for Lord Divine Grace."
"Sir, you have somewhat ignored the power of Lord Divine Grace."
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You mean to open the Corrupt Swamp to the Lord of Divine Grace?"
The God of Lies nodded slowly but firmly.
"The Corruption Swamp requires a large number of corpses, which does not mean that we need to operate it ourselves. Lord Divine Grace can be our supplier."
"And the reward."
As he spoke, he motioned to the golden light swaying on the dry branches of the ancient divine tree.
"It is the golden fruit that can increase your potential."
"One hundred thousand corpses, two hundred thousand corpses in exchange for a golden fruit. Lord Divine Grace will never be stingy."
Richard smiled and gave the other party a meaningful look.
This guy has completely grasped the player's mentality.
"Since you think it is feasible, then I will leave this matter to you. In addition, the golden fruit cannot be handed over so easily. It can be said that it is the welfare of the El Players Association."
"This is a priority exclusive to the El Players Association. If there is a big gap, you can choose from players who have business dealings with Mountain City to let them participate."
"We must create scarcity and the preciousness of golden fruits, so that we have greater room for maneuver."
"As for how many corpses are needed for each golden fruit and how to price it, you can make your own arrangements."
The God of Lies nodded happily.
After the matter was arranged, Richard turned his attention to the edge of the corruption swamp.
There were fully 20,000 bloody killers with snake bodies in their lower bodies and human bodies in their upper bodies, standing quietly in the blood mist with tridents in their hands.
Above the mud of flesh and blood, silence was like a statue.
Outsiders cannot penetrate the blood mist, let alone know that there is such a group of hunters hiding in the darkness on the edge.
The leader was a ferocious figure that was over six meters tall and looked like a little giant.
Level 23 Killing Spear - Thor, an extraordinary hero born in the Corrupt Swamp.
This Lord of Blood Slayers rules over all armies.
Feeling Richard's gaze, the Chaofan put one hand on his chest and bowed humbly.
Although there were no words, the gesture said it all.
After taking a deep look at the army, Richard turned and left without saying anything.
Now, it's not time to use them yet.
But you can imagine how spectacular it will be when he orders to go to the Corruption Swamp and all the blood killers are dispatched.
"Your Majesty Tai Lung, within a month of speeding up the progress, I want to see all the troops promoted to extraordinary."
Richard left the corruption swamp after leaving his last words.
The God of Lies nodded firmly.
When Richard still accepted and tolerated him after he lost his strength, he was already a member of this city.
He will show enough value to let Richard know that he is not wrong about the person!
On that day, a piece of news spread in the El Players Association. President Qingqiu issued a special benefit to all members.
The other party contributed a special treasure he had obtained.
As long as you feed corpses to a giant tree, you can get the fruits produced by the other party.
This fruit is not a mortal thing, but the rarest and most top-notch treasure. It has only one function: it can enhance its own potential.
If an outsider said this, most people would be skeptical, but this news came from the top boss in Qingqiu.
This has made many guilds excited.
Several guilds, mainly composed of undead players, immediately went there with the corpses.
The void sandworm directly opened a passage leading to the bottom of the giant tree.
The surroundings were shrouded in blood mist, making it difficult to see anything.
After several players observed to no avail, they could only abide by the rules and throw the body onto the ground full of plasma sludge.
Soon, they watched helplessly as the corpse was turned into blood and mud and merged with the ground.
Fifty thousand, one hundred thousand. Even after 200,000 corpses were invested, there was still no so-called fruit falling.
This made the guild raise doubts, and they didn't get an answer after asking. At this time, they felt like they were riding a tiger. The initial cost was already so high, and it would be a big loss if they stopped now.
Now with a dark face, he started to use higher-level corpses
When the 300,000th corpse was swallowed by the swamp, a special aura escaped.
The next moment, a golden light fell directly down.
Several players who had been waiting for a long time immediately reached out to catch it. After checking the attributes, they couldn't help but be ecstatic.
Can it really increase potential? !
The president of the guild swallowed it immediately, and then fell into madness again after watching several of his skills directly improve by one level, and all attributes increased significantly.
Start shaking people to collect corpses.
It is true that golden fruits can increase potential. After this news was confirmed, it quickly spread among the El Players Association.
One, two, three. More and more guilds began to join in the trade of exchanging corpses for fruits.
After the first batch tasted the sweetness, more people came.
The golden fruit of the ancient divine tree has a significantly increased effect as its level increases.
Although it is not a good deal to exchange hundreds of thousands of corpses, it is definitely not a loss.
More importantly, this game is not available outside the world.
Others who want to exchange corpses have no way to do so!
This is the sense of superiority that no one has but I have. This unintentional operation has actually increased the cohesion of the El Players Association a lot.
The guilds that can be selected by Richard are all outstanding. To ordinary people, they are an astronomical number of corpses, but to the guild they are nothing.
Under the temptation of the golden fruit, each one burst out with amazing power.
A large number of corpses were dumped into the Corruption Swamp, and the Corruption Swamp was full of food.
The most intuitive comparison is that the fighting in more than fifty planes cannot compare to the feeding of players.
The appearance of the golden fruit has made many people discover that the guild members of the El Players Association have an extremely strong desire to expand in recent times.
Troops were sent out to fight almost every day, and corpses were looted wherever they went. Even some players from the good and lawful camp did not let go of the corpses.
This shocked countless forces who silently observed the El plane. What happened to these guys?
It wasn't until half a month later that the news about the golden fruit spread.
There are many people with mixed opinions, and there are many spies who have sneaked into the El plane. It is not easy to keep it secret for such a long time.
Of course, the main thing was that Richard didn't want to keep it a secret forever.
After the news spread, the El Players Association immediately announced that as long as the chamber of commerce has a good relationship with Mountain City, it can purchase golden fruits at a price that is 30% higher than that of its members.
This caused another wave of heated discussion.
Although hundreds of thousands of corpses are quite a lot, it is really nothing for those big guilds. Each member arranges one or two thousand corpses, and it won't take long to assemble a large pile.
Soon, greater numbers of corpses began to dump into the Putrid Swamp.
Originally, Richard had set a task of promoting all Huiyue soldiers to extraordinary status within a month. After some manipulations by the God of Lies, it was completed by September 10th.
It is expected that in another week, 50 Huiyue-level troop nests will be promoted to extraordinary, and the upper limit of 70 troop nests will be easily reached.
Just when the Corruption Swamp is using the power of players to grow rapidly.
The already unstable main plane was detonated again.
The bottomless abyss, where countless chaotic evil beings lurk, is connected to the main plane.
The power of the rules of the main plane no longer limits the abyss.
Cracks leading to the abyss appeared in a large number of areas, and countless demons emerged from them.
A large number of players and indigenous people were affected, and even many large cities were directly destroyed.
Players who originally had no idea that the gods had lost their authority and the world was gradually entering turmoil.
In front of the demon army sweeping in like a black tide, I felt the deep fear for the first time, and everything changed.
When the light of the gods is gone and the rules change, who can guarantee that the world will remain the same as before?
At this moment, the players realized a truth. Ragnarok is the twilight of the gods, and it is the twilight of the entire world. (End of chapter)
