[System Announcement: The Undead Legion Invasion has begun. The Contribution Ranking is now active. Participants: 252,378. Preparation quests completed before the battle will also count toward the rankings.]
The first wave of monsters had arrived!
The stench of death and decay drifted through the air and into everyone's nostrils.
Unlike the foul odor of goblins, this stench carried an added chill that sent shivers down the spine.
A pale army of undead advanced.
There were translucent wraiths, rattling skeleton soldiers, grotesque and rotting corpses that moved at a sluggish pace, and carrion birds flying overhead.
Airborne units were the most difficult to deal with.
But in the eyes of the players from Linjiang City, they were all just contribution points.
“Woohoo! We’re taking off!”
The players brought out their third-generation flying wings.
All of them had been made by Shen Chi. They featured kinetic acceleration and jet propulsion, making them much faster.
Chu Fu was still being carried through the sky by Chu Feng!
“Fufu, I’ll take you monster hunting!”
Chu Feng was brimming with confidence. This was his specialty.
The Black Dragon beat its wings, whipping up a fierce gale as it flew toward the tide of pale monsters outside the city. Among them advanced a gigantic skeleton that stood a full five meters tall. Every step it took sent the skeletons around it flying.
The Skeleton King!
Blackie immediately stretched out its dragon neck.
“Whoosh!”
Dragon breath!
In an instant, a terrifying stream of dragon breath—one hundred times more powerful than the one he had used to blow Chu Fu away earlier—erupted from its mouth.
The Skeleton King was blasted back more than a hundred meters. The terrifying attack sent the boss tumbling over twenty meters, while the monsters around it were instantly wiped out.
The Skeleton King’s health bar poured down like floodgates had been opened, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
[System Notification: “Lu Xing” has slain the Undead Legion boss, Skeleton King. The entire party has been awarded 3 free attribute points.]
A level-21 boss was completely outmatched before the level-60 Blackie.
Chu Feng had not even needed to lift a finger. His level had now reached 40, and these monsters simply were not worth his effort.
But while he did not attack, Chu Fu was making full use of the opportunity to farm contribution points.
Black Death Cataclysm!
Black Death Cataclysm corroded the soul, making it exceptionally effective against the Undead Legion.
[System Notification: Your Black Death Cataclysm has triggered the Seed of Calamity passive and received a tenfold enhancement.]
“Oh! What great luck!”
The Seed of Calamity was a probabilistic ability. It did not trigger every time she used a skill.
Besides, she had recently been fighting mostly with Spirit Seed.
The special effect of this class did not have a high activation rate, let alone a tenfold enhancement.
Yet the effect of a skill amplified ten times was truly terrifying.
Three kilometers east of the city, the area instantly became a silent land of death.
A terrifying black cloud shrouded the region and rapidly expanded.
With Chu Fu’s current mental strength, the normal diameter of Black Death Cataclysm’s area of effect was 500 meters.
That was already a very large range for a Cataclysm skill.
But after the tenfold enhancement, it became even larger.
It expanded to five kilometers!
Fortunately, they had already moved to a position six kilometers outside the city in order to kill the monsters ahead of time.
The terrifying disaster spread as black mist, reaching the trenches the players had built. Not a single undead emerged from the surging darkness.
They were all dead.
The black mist expanded into the sky, like a column of black smoke shooting upward, killing all the carrion birds flying above.
The scene was simply too horrifying.
The players in the eastern district all went wild.
[Map]: “What just happened? Which demon is undergoing heavenly tribulation here?”
[Map]: “Did I cross over into another world? Is this actually a cultivation game? The dragon vein has been destroyed, and demonic energy is soaring into the heavens! The mortal realm has descended into purgatory!”
[Map]: “Oh my god! This is scarier than a sandstorm. The entire world went silent in an instant. I can’t even hear the clatter of bones anymore.”
[Map]: “That must be the Plant Boss’s Black Death Cataclysm, right? Just another routine move from a god-tier player. Don’t panic—I’m heading somewhere else to grab monsters.”
At this point, it was not only the other players who were shocked.
Blackie had tucked its tail between its legs and fled as well. It could feel that terrifying aura of death, and even its soul trembled.
It knew it! It had been right all along!
That delicate little sister in the white dress and white wedding gown…
She was black-hearted too!
How terrifying!
It broke into a mad dash and headed toward the southern part of the city.
Chu Feng was momentarily stunned as well.
“Fufu, that skill of yours is incredibly powerful!”
Chu Fu blinked and replied modestly, “It was just a coincidence. There’s a chance it can double in power, and this time I triggered the maximum effect. Not only did the area expand tenfold, but it can also remain in place for over an hour!”
Chu Fu showed Chu Feng the skill description.
Chu Feng nodded.
It seemed she had simply gotten lucky.
“Come on. Let’s keep going!”
Of course, the Black Dragon knew exactly what “keep going” meant. It had already flown to the Wraith King in the southern part of the city.
It unleashed another breath of dragon fire. Wraith-type bosses could not be blown away, but their health bars still plummeted.
It was not killed instantly.
Chu Fu also aimed at the boss and cast Black Death Cataclysm.
[System Notification: Your Black Death Cataclysm has triggered the Seed of Calamity passive and received a tenfold enhancement.]
???
The terrifying black mist once again shrouded the surrounding area.
[System Notification: “Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?” has slain the Undead Legion boss, Wraith King. The entire party has been awarded 3 free attribute points.]
The players on the map erupted in cheers.
[Map]: “The Plant Boss is still the strongest! Hurry, don’t let Lu Xing steal the bosses. These are all bosses for Thorn City!”
[Map]: “Exactly! Lu Xing may be powerful, but he doesn’t carry us. The players from the Thorn Guild really do take us through dungeons, and they even give equipment to beginners. Sob… I’m so touched! I’ll support the Thorn Guild forever! I’ll always support the Plant Boss!”
[Map]: “Uh… is there a chance that Lu Xing and the Plant Boss are actually in the same party? They clearly know each other. The Plant Boss is even riding on his Black Dragon right now.”
[Map]: “The number-one player on the rankings and the president of the number-one guild? They look perfect together!”
That would never do. This Tomato absolutely would not allow any incestuous shipping.
Chu Fu hurriedly sent a message on the map, though she did not use the public announcement channel. That would have seemed far too deliberate.
[Map] [Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?]: “Please don’t spread rumors about things that don’t exist. Starbane is my brother’s friend and is only here to help us. That already shows great consideration on his part, so please don’t make things difficult for anyone.”
Just as Chu Fu sent that message, Chu Feng’s reply appeared.
[Map] [Lu Xing]: “She’s my younger sister. We’re related by blood. Stop making wild guesses.”
The moment that message appeared, the map chat exploded once again.
One of them had said he was her brother’s friend, while the other had called her his younger sister and even said they were related by blood.
Which one of them was telling the truth?
Chu Fu also stared at Chu Feng in shock.
You’re giving up your disguise?
Chu Feng looked back at her and gently rubbed her head.
“Tell everyone that you have a brother watching your back. This isn’t some stray cat or dog that can just mess with you!”
As for the official authorities…
He did not want to deal with them. What could they possibly do to him?
He had already reached a point where no one could threaten or coerce him.
However, Chu Fu hesitated.
“Big Brother, are you sure you’re protecting me? On the future map, it looks like you’ve offended the top experts from every country!”
