Over the next five days, the Three-Headed King of Beasts's times and locations for committing crimes became completely unpredictable.

The three King of Beasts Demon Flame City, Black City, Sky Eagle City, Maple City, Black Seal City, Sky Yin City Rakshasa City Thousand Speck City, Mad Lion City, Skull City went on a five-day mad spree, visiting all the major cities in the Black-Corner Region!

What's most infuriating is that they always pick on the "easy targets" and never attack the same area twice in a row! This has caused chaos among the players in the entire Black-Corner Region due to the Three-Headed King of Beasts.

In the Black-Corner Region, only two types of players will not be attacked by the Three-Headed King of Beasts:

One of them are the students of the Jia Nan Academy.

As long as you stay within the Jia Nan Academy, you won't be affected. However, if you leave Jia Nan Academy, even if it's just to guard a resource point outside the Jia Nan Academy, the King of Beasts will come knocking on your door.

Secondly, players who are offline and AFK will not be attacked by the King of Beasts.

This is not only to protect the rights and interests of players, but also to protect Tian Yao Company itself.

If players were to log off and then be killed, Tian Yao Company would likely be reduced to ashes by the wrath of the player community.

While Tian Yao Company strives for realism, the core of this pursuit lies in the player experience.

Therefore, the system will provide a notification if a player logs off in a risky area.

If a player chooses to "ignore the risk," then the consequences will naturally be borne by the player themselves.

But now that the Three-Headed King of Beasts is launching an attack, many players are not choosing to "ignore the risks," which is a different matter altogether.

However, players in the Black-Corner Region are now facing a difficult situation.

They could either temporarily leave the Black-Corner Region or go to Canaan City to avoid the storm and slow down their development.

You either have to accept the risk of being demoted.

And it was a loss of three stars at once.

This version is quite different from the last one.

There are already 500,000 players in the Black-Corner Region, but the key point is that these 500,000 are not included in the Jia Nan Academy students.

Furthermore, it's generally accepted on the forums that you shouldn't go to the Black-Corner Region unless you're Dou Wang high-ranking warrior).

We can roughly classify all players in the Black-Corner Region as starting from the Dou Wang level.

Therefore, the Dou Wang" is no longer the standard for judging top-tier players.

The standard for Top Player has been raised to Nine-Star Dou Wang.

However, some busybodies have already drawn up another tier above the Top Player: the Heaven Ranking Players!

No one felt there was anything wrong with this division.

Yang Shan is currently in a league of his own! Very few players would even consider dethroning Yang Shan.

The main reason is that Xiao Aotian is such a conspicuous figure. He posts on the forum all the time, saying how much he has improved and how good the benefits of the Heaven Flame Alliance are. At first, many people mocked Xiao Aotian.

But after Xiao Aotian obtained the Fallen Heart Flame and firmly occupied the second position on the Combat Power Rankings, the mockery decreased significantly.

After all, the one with the best chance of defeating the first place is definitely the second place.

More and more people began to praise Xiao Aotian, feeling that although Xiao Aotian arrogant, he was a top expert who would definitely take action once he made a promise and would never give up!

But Xiao Aotian is actually under a lot of pressure right now.

He said on the forum that he wanted to first secure second place, then work hard to get closer to Yang Shan, and strive to defeat Yang Shan fairly and squarely in the future versions.

But his position as the perennial runner-up is now in serious jeopardy!

After obtaining the Azure Valley Netherwind, Su Yitang's combat power surged, and the gap between her and Xiao Aotian's combat power was even narrowed to less than three digits! If Xiao Aotian hadn't worked so hard again to raise his level to Three Star Dou Huang, he probably would have already been surpassed by Su Yitang!

Therefore, Xiao Aotian paid special attention to the matter of the King of Beasts.

Try your best to get the first kill.

Even if you can't get it, you still have to kill one of the King of Beasts. The King of Beasts's dropped Heart Blood Meat will significantly widen the gap between you and Su Yitang in the short term.

Xiao Aotian cheered himself up:

"Although Su Yitang is formidable, I'm no pushover either. Don't even think about surpassing me!"

Meanwhile, Hao Yunqi, who was grinding monsters in a medium-sized resource area thirty miles Black City, cursed loudly, "Damn it!"

One word perfectly encapsulates Hao Yunqi's feelings.

Ji Fengchun, who was following behind Hao Yunqi, almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hao Yunqi was recruited into the Tian Hao Alliance by Wang Tianhao and quickly replaced Ji Fengchun as the "number one henchman".

Although Ji Fengchun was still a lackey, his income kept decreasing.

Wang Tianhao naturally prefers to spend money on useful people.

Therefore Ji Fengchun has been working particularly hard on the last two or three versions.

Whenever Wang Tianhao didn't need him around, he would quietly level up by himself.

Ji Fengchun does possess some skill and talent, and after two or three versions of refinement, his combat strength is actually quite good.

His level has also reached the Nine-Star Dou Wang.

However, becoming a top player in online games isn't solely based on skill.

Ji Fengchun had fantasized more than once that if he obtained the Heaven and Earth Oddities, he could easily crush Hao Yunqi with one hand.

But now he didn't even dare to laugh out loud, for fear of displeasing Hao Yunqi.

Perhaps spurred on by Su Yitang, Hao Yunqi decided to work harder to improve himself.

So he brought a team of players here.

Capturing this medium-sized resource point will not only allow you to upgrade your character, but also provide you with considerable profits from the Black Emperor Sect.

Of course, there is another reason.

Hao Yunqi drew a very auspicious fortune before going online today.

In the past, when he drew the best fortune, he would always have some unexpected gains in the game!

For example, encountering a severely injured magical beast, or encountering a rare spiritual plant.

The most outrageous time was when I fell off a cliff and triggered a chance to obtain the Mystic Yellow Flame.

Therefore, Hao Yunqi was very much looking forward to it today.

What good thing will happen? And then, "Meow!"

Hao Yunqi watched as the Earth Wandering Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep leaped out of the ground and kicked out the entire Dou Qi Armor and health of a four- Dou Wang in the team with several consecutive back kicks.

Hao Yunqi with excitement! Two days ago, he encountered the Flame Demon Ape in Black City.

Although the Flame Demon Ape wasn't targeting him, he was very close by, so he immediately prepared to hold off the Flame Demon Ape and then gather all the players from the Tian Hao Alliance together.

However, the Flame Demon Ape appeared extremely panicked upon seeing Hao Yunqi, even abandoning its target and turning to flee.

This undoubtedly gave Hao Yunqi enough confidence.

Of course, Hao Yunqi wasn't so arrogant as to think he could easily kill the King of Beasts single-handedly.

Judging from the attacks launched by the three King of Beasts in recent days, they have all made a quick retreat after launching their attacks.

The logic behind this behavior is easy to guess.

The King of Beasts was worried about being blocked by too many players.

Based on the fact that Hao Yunqi scared away the King of Beasts with just his imposing presence, Hao Yunqi came to a conclusion: his current combat strength is enough to go toe-to-toe with the King of Beasts, and at least in the short term, he will not be defeated.

Hao Yunqi immediately shouted, "Xiao Ji! Quick! Notify Wang Shao! Have him bring all the guild players here, quick! Quick!"

In Hao Yunqi's view, as long as he could hold off the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep and wait for the entire Tian Hao Alliance to arrive, wouldn't the first kill of the King of Beasts be a piece of cake? At that time, the first kill of the King of Beasts would either be taken by Hao Yunqi himself, or Wang Tianhao would use it to show off.

He made a fortune from the former.

If it's the latter, he will also receive a large cash reward from Wang Tianhao.

"We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich this time!"

Seeing that the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep was about to attack other players, Hao Yunqi quickly shouted:

"You beast, how dare you be arrogant in front of me, the Emperor!"

Ever since Hao Yunqi broke through to the Dou Emperor, he has particularly liked to refer to himself as "this Emperor".

In reality, only Dou Huang expert like Han Feng or Hai Bodong, who have a renowned reputation in a certain region, are given the title of "Emperor" by others.

As for players, unless Hao Yunqi can enter the Heaven Ranking, few NPCs will recognize him as "Emperor".

Hao Yunqi, who had a strong sense of superiority, started with a fiery Palm Force, attempting to intercept the attack of the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep.

The Palm Force landed on the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep, forcing it back.

The Tian Hao Alliance's Dou Wang player, who had narrowly escaped death, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Thank you, Brother Qi!"

Hao Yunqi, displaying the demeanor of a powerful figure, said, "Be careful, everyone. Step aside and find an opportunity to assist me with ranged Dou Technique!"

Although the Dou Wang" is no longer the standard for measuring top-tier players, being able to reach the Dou Wang at the current stage means that one must at least be an elite player in the first tier.

In addition, six or seven years have passed in the game, and the skills and awareness of these elite players are vastly different from when the game first launched.

They can't handle big things, but they're very good at playing the field!

The Mystic Yellow Flame on the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep has gradually died down.

"Another Heavenly Flames?"

The Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep scoffed:

"But it's still not quite there!"

Hao Yunqi, the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep, was deliberately showing off.

Hao Yunqi was the most qualified to speak on just how powerful the Mystic Yellow Flame was! He immediately unleashed another Palm Force.

Hao Yunqi's Palm Force is no ordinary technique! It is Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique with Purple Word Seal, called "Flame Breaking Gang Qi"! This Dou Technique is a fast- Dou Technique type, with low energy consumption and fast execution speed.

Although the damage increase is far lower than that of burst-type fighting skills of the same level, Hao Yunqi has the amplification of Xuanhuang Flame, which makes its power rise to a higher level.

The Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep did not choose to dodge, but instead used its Demon Energy to protect itself and withstand the attack.

Having withstood three Palm Force in succession, the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep roughly understood Hao Yunqi's level.

"I thought I was having another stroke of bad luck, but it turns out I'm on a winning streak!"

The Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep mocked Hao Yunqi:

"Is all you can do to tickle?"

"You dare to look down on me?"

Hao Yunqi clasped his hands together, compressing a large amount of Mystic Yellow Flame into his palms, seemingly preparing a powerful move.

Ji Fengchun was startled. "Quickly create some distance!"

Hao Yunqi's ultimate move is no joke; it has a very wide attack range.

If they were caught in the crossfire, even ordinary Dou Wang expert wouldn't be able to withstand it.

But Hao Yunqi didn't think that way; he exclaimed in alarm:

"Why are you running? Why are you running? Come and help me hold him off!"

It is common knowledge that the more powerful Dou Technique, the slower it is to activate.

Hao Yunqi wanted to expand his gains because he saw that he could suppress the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep.

Unexpectedly Ji Fengchun immediately dismissed everyone.

Hao Yunqi really wants to ask Ji Fengchun if he has some kind of cerebellar problem.

But the situation no longer allowed Hao Yunqi to speak.

At that moment, the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep actually burrowed underground.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Hao Yunqi.

"Meow!"

The Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep bleated triumphantly, its saliva, which hadn't been brushed in years, spraying onto Hao Yunqi's face.

The indescribably horrifying smell turned Hao Yunqi's face a deep liver color.

The Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep braced itself on the ground with its two front hooves, then alternated its two hind hooves, kicking towards Hao Yunqi's chest.

The speed was incredibly fast, even leaving afterimages!

Any top-tier player will pay attention to the following during combat:

The card Time Acceleration! Hao Yunqi also knew that he needed to Time Acceleration, but he hadn't turned "knowing" into "habit".

Especially as players' levels gradually increase, the intensity of battles also begins to rise.

A distance of tens of meters is just a matter of one or two breaths for Dou Huang expert.

Earth-rank Dou Technique, especially high-burst Dou Technique, generally have Time Acceleration of more than five seconds.

The Dou Technique used by Hao Yunqi has Time Acceleration of up to twelve seconds.

Being interrupted while activating Dou Technique has serious consequences.

Hao Yunqi's chest was kicked at least a dozen times by the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep.

His Vitality Shield of over 200,000 were mostly depleted by the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep.

The powerful stomping of the hoof also caused Hao Yunqi's breathing to become unstable, and his Dou Qi circulation was disrupted.

Hao Yunqi's Dou Technique failed before it even began, and he suffered a backlash instead. Not only did he lose 6,000 health points, but his stats also dropped by 20% for 5 minutes.

Seeing Hao Yunqi in danger, Ji Fengchun suppressed his excitement and shouted at the top of his lungs, "We're doomed! This is too difficult! Even Brother Qi can't hold on! Brothers, run! Every one of you who can escape is a piece of cake!"

Losing three stars for dying once is basically a death sentence for one or two-star Dou Wang players, meaning they have to say goodbye to Black-Corner Region for the time being.

Scattering and fleeing to minimize losses is the best course of action.

At that time, Wang Tianhao will not only not blame Ji Fengchun, but may even praise Ji Fengchun his quick reaction.

As for Hao Yunqi, a two- Dou Emperor, he dropped to Nine-Star Dou Wang Hao Yunqi Wang, and it will take him quite some time to climb back up.

This is his Ji Fengchun opportunity!

Hao Yunqi yelled at the top of his lungs, "Are you all stupid? Why are you running away? Come and cover me! If I lose a level, Wang Shao give you a real dressing down! Come back! All of you, come back!"

In the Tian Hao Alliance, Hao Yunqi's words are definitely more effective than Ji Fengchun's.

Therefore, those Tian Hao Alliance members who had already fled had no choice but to turn back.

But with this back-and-forth delay, the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep had already spewed out another Demon Gang.

Hao Yunqi's Dou Qi Armor is in grave danger.

His face turned deathly pale. "Wasn't today's draw supposed to be the best possible fortune? How could I be so unlucky?"

You're delicious!

The Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep seems to particularly like saying this.

Hao Yunqi wanted to make one last struggle before his Dou Qi Armor shattered.

But the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep, which was laughing arrogantly just a second ago, suddenly fell silent.

Its body began to sink into the ground.

A piercing crackling sound of electricity rang out, Side Blade, crackling with Crimson Thunder, struck the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep the neck just before it was about to sink.

This was an upward slash that lifted the Earth Wanderer Demon Sheep directly out of the ground! Hao Yunqi looked at the Scarlet Wings and the bright red cloak, and murmured:

"So, so this is today's lucky fortune slip."
