Suddenly, a shrill screech rang out, and Withered Lurkers surged toward the players atop the cliff like a black tide!
"Holy crap! My trypophobia is acting up!"
"How are we supposed to fight this? Aren't these normal monsters?"
Thunder King's eyes widened in fury, his entire body bristling like a Super Saiyan!
"Lightning Chain!"
Bzzzt—!!!
A bolt of electricity flashed, severely wounding several Withered Lurkers!
But there were only a handful of high-level combat players present. Most were research-focused players who sucked terribly at fighting. Even giving it everything they had, they couldn't so much as scratch the minor monsters...
"Even a normal LV.40 is still LV.40! And there are way too many! One swipe from them and I'm dead!"
The research-focused players, most of whom weren't even LV.20, instantly turned green.
Tian Ce stared at the black tide blotting out the sky, the corner of his mouth twitching.
"Whoever designed this game... has something wrong with them?"
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around without hesitation.
Before leaving, he even cast the crowd-control skill Psychic Scream.
"Buzzzzz—"
Several hundred Withered Lurkers stood frozen in place.
"Run!"
But the low-level research players were too slow.
Most of them were barely above level 10!
If they hadn't needed to reach level 10 to change classes into Thunder Messengers and Mind Hackers, they probably wouldn't have wanted to level at all.
Several of the fastest Withered Lurkers had already scuttled up the cliff like geckos. With a shrill screech, they pounced on [Quantum Mechanics], who was at the very back.
"Wait—"
Quantum Mechanics' eyes nearly split with rage. He could revive, but even at the lowest setting, this game's pain still hurt!!!
Splat!
He had no time to resist. The physics expert was instantly torn to pieces.
