Chapter 268 Bloody Landing
The real war has just begun——
But in Teach's eyes, it was just a one-sided massacre.
Groups of skeleton soldiers fired guns, followed by a charge with roaring mountains and tsunami.
They waved the swords in their hands, and the green soul fire flashed in their skulls, as if they were pulling the living people from the mortal world to the dark hell!
The lizardmen retreated tremblingly, or fell to the ground after being shot, or roared like foam on the rocks, and then were silently submerged in the waves that came ashore against the current.
That is the tsunami caused by the dead——
What frightened them even more was that the majestic and formidable steel beast was advancing towards them while firing continuously.
As the scarlet light flashed, another sand dune was razed to the ground!
A dozen lizardmen wielding obsidian spears were blown to pieces and rolled into the mud at the edge of the forest!
Facing the majestic steel behemoth, Saku could no longer bring up any desire or ambition for hunting in his heart, and his trembling arms could hardly hold the obsidian war blade in his hand.
Finally——
His survival instinct and fear of death overwhelmed his will to fight, and he turned around and fled to the jungle behind him without saying a word.
——!
Almost at the same time as he shouted, the sound of retreating drums sounded in the forest!
The lizard man hunters who were fighting all abandoned the enemies in front of them and ran desperately towards the forest not far behind them.
Retreating is indeed a wise choice!
Although a magic crystal tank cannot defeat a gold-level warrior in a duel, an unsuppressed magic crystal tank can exert destructive power on the battlefield comparable to a gold-level warrior!
This is undoubtedly a dimensionality-reducing blow to those lizardman hunting teams who have only fought against Warcraft!
Faced with the "experience packs" receding like a tide, the players with green eyes did not hold back at all, and chased into the forest not far away, brandishing a variety of weapons.
More than that——
The steel behemoth that followed was still firing continuously, pouring round after round of magic energy beams at the lizardman army that was scattering like birds and beasts!
"The devil is above..."
Tiqi murmured to himself, looking at the devastating battle in front of him, with only admiration and admiration left in his eyes.
He was extremely lucky now that he had made the right choice, joining forces with Lumil and persisting until the end.
Otherwise, even if he did not die under the siege of the lizard men, he would probably have died from the wrath of the Demon King...
It was not just Teach.
The other surviving pirates were all the same. They looked at the undead army that appeared on the beach with stunned eyes, speechless due to shock.
Where did those skeletons come from?
And -
What is that iron lump that can spray beams of light?
They have seen artillery, which is on the ship, but this is the first time they have seen one that can chase the enemy without cleaning the barrel...
While everyone was shocked, the liquidation of the Demon King's army did not stop because of the lizard man's retreat.
The two magic crystal tanks were still firing and advancing forward, and the skeletons who were not afraid of death had rushed into the forest and started a hand-to-hand fight with the lizard warriors who were trying to fight back!
At the forefront of the demon king's army, a lizard man holding a harpoon led the way. The eight legs of a spider under his crotch were waving like the wind. In an instant, he caught up with the tail swaying at the edge of the woods.
"Ouch, ow, ow!!!! Hurry! Run faster! Didn't you eat?! Drive!"
Long Xing Wanli screamed excitedly, slapping the man in national uniform beneath him with his tail, urging the latter to run faster.
[The first pig in the national server] was cursing in his heart, but for the sake of rmb, his full of complaints turned into "The boss is awesome!", and then he rushed forward.
Paigu people will never be slaves!
Unless the ribs are enough!
The escaping lizard hunter caught a glimpse with his peripheral vision, and saw that the lizard riding behind him was actually a lizard riding a cave spider. The whole lizard immediately became angry and did not run away. It killed him with a roar.
Looking at the escaped monsters and killing them back, Long Xingwanli's eyes lit up and he shouted "Well done!", and the harpoon in his hand was like a dragon, aiming straight for the lizard man's face!
——!
Iron weapons and obsidian weapons collided together, sparks flew into the air, and the crisp symphony even shook the surrounding trees!
The lizard hunter's mouth and nose spurted out traces of white mist, his amber pupils were filled with hatred, and the obsidian blade in his hand made a creaking sound, as if he was standing in front of his father's enemy.
This sinner who betrayed the Dragon God!
A low growl came out of his mouth, then he rounded the sword in his hand and attacked again!
That knife carried huge pressure, just like a huge boulder rolling down the mountain!
【The first pig in the national server】with cilia bundled up all over his body, he jumped back sharply to distance himself, and then a mouthful of thick phlegm spurted out, turning into milky white threads and covering the lizard man's face.
"Boss! It's now!"
Looking at the lizard man howling in pain and falling backwards, the man in the national server immediately yelled and at the same time pounced forward with eight legs!
"Roar——!" The huge lizard man let out a howl of pain, blood welled up in his chest, he staggered back a few steps, and finally fell to the ground unconscious.
Long Xing Wanli swung the harpoon in his hand and looked around with ferocious eyes, looking like he would give up on anyone else.
"Haha, who else is there!"
There is no one left.
The lizard men were so busy running away that they didn't even have time to look at him. Most of them disappeared into the dense forest in a flash.
No one answered the challenge for a long time, and then Longxing Wanli spat on the ground out of interest.
“Damn, what a bunch of cowards! By the way, what did that guy say just now?”
“Didn’t hear clearly, it seemed like he was talking about awesomeness...”
The man in national uniform who was crawling under him chuckled and breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that this ancestor had finally had enough fun. Carrying the hundred kilogram lizard and rushing forward, his intestines almost came out...
In the military formation, Luo Yan raised his right arm slightly, pointing the wand in his hand towards the sky not far away.
"Death and withering!"
The moment he finished speaking, a black cloud exuding the aura of death suddenly enveloped the forest near the beach!
The sea breeze is stagnant and everything is quiet!
In the blink of an eye, the black clouds turned into rain, and thousands of ink-colored raindrops containing the spirit of the netherworld fell like locusts, scattering into the forest instantly!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the lush woods are like old yellowing photos, fading, withering - and withering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It is not only the forest that is dying, but also the lizard warriors who are fleeing in the forest.
Although the black raindrops did not cause fatal injuries to them, they still posed a considerable threat to them as they fled.
Bathed in the black rain, they only felt that the strength in their bodies was passing away at an accelerated rate, traces of mist appeared on their scales, and their legs were as heavy as lead!
It's not just the impact of negative status -
Some lizardmen fell down after being shot. Not long after, under the influence of the black rain, they stood up staggeringly from the ground, reawakened as the living dead, and cast a stern look at their former comrades!
Those living lizardmen were frightened and angry, but had no choice but to leave their brothers and sisters and run away.
An entire forest with a radius of several hundred meters has turned into a cemetery that swallows up all life!
Is this gold-level strength...
Looking at the power of his spell, a hint of indifferent surprise flashed in Luo Yan's eyes.
Since he was promoted to the gold level, this is probably the first time he has used all his strength to cast spells.
And the gold-level power did not disappoint him, as soon as he took action, it was a power that could cover the sky and the sun!
He is terrifyingly strong now!
Luo Yan retracted the wand in his hand, and the black clouds covering the forest dispersed at the same time.
However, at this moment, a faint feeling of dizziness crept up between his eyebrows.
Feeling the impact from the depths of his soul, Luo Yan's expression condensed slightly. He quickly took out a tube of dark blue potion, picked up the cork at the mouth of the bottle with his thumb, and drank it in one gulp.
The dense and hot touch passed through his throat, and he suddenly felt that his hollowed-out body had recovered a little.
"No wonder the top experts don't easily use the teleportation array..." Throwing the empty bottle back into the subspace created by the storage medium, Luo Yan wiped the corners of his mouth and thought to himself.
The side effects of subspace are more obvious for people with stronger extraordinary power. This may be related to the diameter of the channel, or it may be some kind of principle that he does not understand.
For those with gold level strength, they can still use magic potions to restore the lost magic power, but for those with Amethyst level or even masters and demigods, they may have to meditate for days and nights to compensate for the side effects of subspace on extraordinary power.
It seems that it is precisely because of this that the subspace passage is completely useless to them. Using the teleportation array is far inferior to flying directly there...
If they can fly.
While thinking this, Luo Yan turned his attention to the withered forest in front of him and the corpses of lizard men on the ground, with a somewhat intriguing expression on his face.
Having said that, he really didn't expect that he was just drawing a pie at the time, but Lumir would bring him such a big surprise, and he really found a piece of land that no one cares about in the vast sea.
Judging from the organized actions of the lizard people, they are obviously not primitive people living in caves, but have at least evolved to the civilization of tribes and even kingdoms!
But why?
Logically speaking, in this era when the steam engine has been invented and used for navigation, the land of the New World has long been divided up by the nobles of the Ossian Empire. There should be no unexplored land near the old shipping route...
How is this continent left?
While Luo Yan was thinking, Arakedo, who had eight legs left, quickly ran out of the light of the teleportation array and approached his respected master with a flattering look on his face.
"Praise to the Demon King! Your magic power is as vast as the stars, the sun and the moon, and as endless as the flowing rivers and seas... If I am not wrong, your strength has broken through again!"
Luo Yan did not come here directly from the Demon City, but went back to the necropolis first, rested for a while, and then set off again from the necropolis, leading his army to fight here.
Hence, not only Arlacto followed, but many of his subordinates also came here.
The Shadow Weaver clan has always been keen on the aura of the strong. Although Arakdo has no evidence, he can feel that the Demon King's strength has increased a lot since he returned from the Demon City this time!
It doesn't matter if he guessed wrong, he guessed higher anyway. There is an old saying among the Shadow Weaver clan that a spider with a sweet mouth will not have bad luck.
Although Luo Yan has long been used to Alacdor's lame flattery, he missed it after not hearing it for several months, and a smile couldn't help but rise at the corner of his mouth.
"It's okay... But Arakdo, although I am quite satisfied with your work, your personal practice still needs to be strengthened, so as not to be thrown too far away by Sarah."
"Yes... I will definitely remember your instructions, I will never do it. Being killed by that dead cat... Ahem, I mean, I will definitely work hard to practice and keep up with you!"
Halacto suddenly shuddered mid-sentence, changed his words in a hurry, lowered his head, and changed from expressing his loyalty confidently to a submissive whisper.
Not far behind him, Sarah walked up with light steps and glanced at the fat spider with cold eyes. The flash of murderous intent disappeared silently in the gentle sea breeze.
Because of being indulged in the gentle land of Mrs. Arachinos, although Arakto has provided many heirs for the necropolis, his strength is far behind Sarah who has reached the peak of adamantium level, and cannot even keep up with some t1 echelon players.
Looking at his cats and dogs, Luo Yan sometimes couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, Wenrou Township is a hero's grave. If you want to become stronger, you still have to exercise restraint.
While he was thinking, Sarah had already walked beside him, threw a bloody lizard head on the ground, and then stood aside respectfully.
"Lord Demon King...the enemy general refused to surrender, so I have taken his head for you."
That head belonged to the leader of this hunting party, or at least a minor leader.
Although the guy had fled into the forest, he obviously did not escape the dagger in Sarah's hand. The body was separated in just a moment, and he didn't even have time to scream.
Haughty and stunned expressions were written on the face of the lizard covered in blood and scales at the same time, freezing his life to the last second.
Looking at Sarah who was asking for credit, Luo Yan nodded approvingly with a spring breeze smile on his face.
"Yes, your strength has improved again, you should not be far from Silver, right?"
Hearing the voice of praise, those indifferent eyes were like a glacier blown by the spring breeze, and instantly turned into a clear spring of joy.
“…Thanks for your teaching.” Sarah nodded meekly, her face calm, but her ears swayed slightly with pride.
Looking at this proud cat, Arakdu curled his lips, but he did not dare to say a word.
So what if I can fight?
What the Shadow Weaver clan is proud of has never been their boxing skills, but their endless vitality!
Have the ability to give birth to a litter of kittens for the devil!
Thanks to Sarah's inability to read minds, she didn't know what was going on in this smelly spider's head. Otherwise, it would be hard to tell whether it was because she was shy or because she inserted the dagger into his brain and stirred it up.
At this time, the corpse lizardman Octor walked from the side with heavy steps, holding two war blades with his claws clenched into fists, and spoke in a loud voice.
"Lord Demon King... the remnants of the enemy on the beach have been cleared, and a total of 20 lizardmen have been captured. Please give your instructions!"
"Well done," Luo Yan nodded in approval, and then continued to order, "Take your men to camp at the edge of the forest, take custody of the prisoners, give them necessary medical treatment, interrogate the conscious prisoners, and then wait for my next order."
「Yes!」
Okdo bowed respectfully, and then walked towards the direction of the undead army with heavy steps.
There are two groups of undead armies landing on the coastline this time. One of them is the elite players who were personally selected by Luo Yan and transferred from the front line of Kaa Planet to explore the new map. The other wave is the undead cannon fodder he summoned through his acolytes.
After these few months of training, the first batch of players who went to the planet Kaa to fight have all reached the fine steel level, and the best among them are only one step away from the silver level!
· Coupled with the bonus of the professional altar, they have gone through the experience of blood and fire and are no longer the cannon fodder they once were. They have gradually grown up and become the backbone of the necropolis.
For these players, it is no longer appropriate for them to continue filling in the lines on the planet Kaa. When they grow up, they should take on more missions for the Demon King's dominance...or in other words, they need more and more interesting missions.
As a demon king who is well versed in human nature, Luo Yan will naturally not fail to satisfy their little wish.
Just when Okdo was leading the undead army directly under him to set up camp, he had already released a new server event to players through Yoyo, facing all players who were invited to the new continent——
【Closed beta event: Explore the unknown continent!

At the moment when the mission pop-up window appeared in front of the players, the players who were busy "picking up garbage" on the beach suddenly became excited as if they were intoxicated, and the obsidian spears and daggers in their hands suddenly lost their fragrance.
"Holy shit! The Magic Plant Frenzy event hasn't ended yet, and a new event has been announced?!"
"It's different. This time it seems to be a private event. Only players who have received invitations and arrived in the new continent can participate?"
"There is no limit to the strength level, and the soul level is fine steel or above... This threshold is still a bit high, it is estimated that it is only about 1,000 people."
"Speaking of which, the dog planner has been a bit diligent recently!"
"Is there going to be a public beta?!"
"Planner dad is awesome!!!"
"Stop shouting, even if you shout till your throat is broken, nothing will fall from the sky. Equipped. "
"+1, you might as well call him dad, at least your father will really help you upgrade."
There was a lot of noise on the beach, but the smart little players had already entered the forest, following the footsteps of the group of lizard-man hunters to find the strange civilization hidden in the forest.
Looking at the chaotic beach, after a moment of silence, Huwan subconsciously looked back at Yiye Zhiqiu and blurted out.
"Brother, what do you think."
Although he is also a professional player, he has chosen to lay down after seeing Brother Kazuye's understanding of enterprise-level games.
However, it was different from the past. Yiye Zhiqiu looked around, and after pondering for a while, he only said one sentence
"I... stood and watched."
Yiye Zhiqiu looked at these lazy guys trying to catch fish with a dumbfounded look. He touched the non-existent bridge of his nose with his skull index finger and sighed.
"To be honest, I have no information at all right now. Even if you ask me... I can only make wild guesses."
"Well... I just studied the event announcement carefully, and it specifically mentioned that the empire's merchant ships have not discovered this continent for hundreds of years... Could this be a clue?" Huwan, who was silent for a moment, touched his chin with his index finger and suddenly said.
The soul fire in Yiye Zhiqiu's skull flickered slightly, and he continued what he said.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
A smile appeared on Huwan's lips, but the pig-headed knight standing aside said with a confused expression.
“What kind of clue is this?”
"Of course, at least compared to the previous state of running around like headless flies, we now have one more idea," staring at the transparent task interface, Yiye Zhiqiu continued thoughtfully, "And wasn't it mentioned in the event announcement? Those who make outstanding contributions may trigger hidden tasks. Generally speaking, such opportunities will not be hidden in treasure chests on the roadside."
The Tauren warrior's eyes flickered slightly, and he clenched the battle ax in his hand excitedly.
"You mean... following this clue, looking for the secrets of this continent that the imperial merchant ships failed to discover, may become the key key to triggering the hidden mission?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded with a smile.
dedication by the right answer]
Although their intelligence about the New World is still blank, at least now they know what direction to work towards.
Just as Yiye Zhiqiu and his party were following the footsteps of other players deep into the forest, Lumir brought the trembling Teach to the Demon King.
Compared with the last meeting a few months ago, this young man seemed several years older. His originally rosy and shiny face was sunburned like dried bacon, his lips were chapped, and his hair was withered.
It can be seen that he suffered a lot along the way.
But precisely because of this, his faith is more pious than a few months ago, and his will is even more rock-solid.
"Sir."
Looking at Lumil who was bowing humbly, Luo Yan nodded slightly and recognized his contribution along the way.
"You have suffered."
Lumir said respectfully.
Speaking of this, Luo Yan paused for a moment, slightly raised his voice, and announced in a solemn and solemn voice.
… In order to commend you for your contribution, I decided to give you the reward you deserve."
After speaking, he stretched out his index finger and touched Lumir's forehead.
A dark green ripple spread from his forehead, and then merged into his eyebrows like a water wave.
Lumir's face showed an expression of astonishment, but he soon became immersed in peace and tranquility.
His soul felt more relaxed than ever before, as if he had returned to the cradle of life.
"This is..."
Looking at the astonished Lumil, Luo Yan said with a smile.
"I raised your soul level from ordinary to fine steel. I believe that given time, with your perseverance, you will become a strong man in your own right... Work hard, I'm optimistic about you."
Supernatural power!
The Demon King actually gave himself extraordinary power!
The devil is above...that is the category of gods!
Although I have long heard that adults have such power, the miracles experienced personally are obviously more shocking than the rumors heard from hearsay... especially when this miracle happens to me!
Lumir's heart was shocked, and he looked at the Demon King standing in front of him in disbelief, with thousands of emotions intertwined in his heart.
He took a deep breath and knelt on one knee, his trembling voice filled with incomparable piety.
"...Thank you for your gift, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
The upgrade of the soul level will not only accompany him in this life, but will also be inherited in his future reincarnations.
For him as a mortal, there is no gift that excites him more than this.
Luo Yan nodded approvingly, and then turned his gaze to the pirate holding his breath at the side - the nobleman of the Os Empire who was once loyal to Saint Sith.
The moment he met the Demon King's gaze, Tiqi felt as if every cell in his body was frozen, trembling with fear in front of that indescribable majesty.
Luo Yan looked at him with a critical eye, and then slowly spoke.
"Although you attacked my ship, since my servants have forgiven you, and you have abandoned the false gods and thrown yourself into my arms, I will forgive your past sins... From now on, you and your servants will serve as my minions, and you will be reborn according to the identity I gave you."
"...Thank you for your tolerance and grace. Your Majesty, I will swear to you and the devil...to serve you forever and ever, as your most loyal minion!"
Luo Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then set his sights on the beach.
"Since you were once a noble, you must have experience in running a territory. So from now on, your identity is... the colonial governor appointed by the Imperial Prince Roxsay Colin."
Colin...Prince?
Ti Qi quietly raised his head and looked at Luo Yan blankly, his eyes filled with confusion.
Does the empire have a prince with this name?
He has not heard of it.
However, after all, prince is not a title, and it does not match the territory one by one like a duke, count, or baron.
Considering that the orthodoxy of the Os Empire has lasted for thousands of years, and there are so many collateral bloodlines, it is normal for a nobleman who has never heard of to suddenly appear.
"Do you have any questions?" Looking at the confused Tiqi, Luo Yan said in a gentle tone.
"No...no." Sensing the cold light coming from the eyes of the cat-eared demon guard at the side, Tiqi shuddered unconsciously and quickly put away the reveries in his mind.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is such a prince or not. The person standing in front of him is the Demon King...
His tone is obviously not a tone of discussion, so he just needs to follow suit.
Ti Qi took a deep breath and said tremblingly.
"We... need a name for this port that belongs to the Colin family."
"This is indeed a problem, let me think about it."
Luo Yan thought for a moment, his eyes fell on the dead forest nearby, and the corner of his mouth suddenly raised a smile.
A perfect story came to his mind.
Evil lizard men recited evil spells, and the brave colonists encountered an attack by the undead after landing ashore.
In order to commemorate those who died in the decisive battle with the undead——
"Just call it... Deadwood Harbor."
