Is the Guardian Tower Going to Be Lost?
"Congratulations to the player in the East District for killing the Recovery Monster. The healing function is now available in this area. Players in this area can restore their status by leaving combat or returning to the Guardian Tower."
"So it's Recovery Monster. No wonder it's so hard to fight. This is useful."
The player from the Dragon Nation nodded.
Four more hours passed, and the Dragon Nation player glanced at the map on the right.
The Black Nation's group in the southeast had already covered three-quarters of the distance and were only a quarter of the way from their Guardian Tower. At this point, it would be dangerous for them not to turn back.
What surprised them even more was the northeastern route, where players from Mirror City, mixed with players from the White Nation, were advancing towards their Guardian Tower, having already covered one-fifth of the distance.
Falling Leaf had noticed the strange team from the two servers a while ago, and at first he thought it was a battle between the two sides.
At that moment, he realized what was happening.
The Mirror City Server not only won over Shen Long, but also other forces in the White Nation.
There was another team that puzzled him: another 26-man team from Mirror City. He had seen this team encounter several smaller teams, but they hadn't managed to get a single kill.
There is only one possibility for this situation.
The Mirror City Server was also divided into two factions, with this 26-person team clearly not wanting the Mirror City Server to win the championship.
"Therefore, the surface of the Interstellar Canyon is occupied by four servers, and the rest by eight factions."
"If Biao Ge can be considered a faction as well."
A team competition, but it was all a conspiracy.
"Iron Blood Team, shouldn't we head back? If we don't, the Black Nation players will reach our Guardian Tower."
The players from the Dragon Nation were visibly anxious upon seeing the situation on the map.
The Black Nation players were only a quarter of the way from their Guardian Tower, a four-hour journey. And there wasn't a single player near their Guardian Tower.
If they don't return soon, they might miss their chance, and the Guardian Tower will be destroyed by the Black Nation players.
Iron Blood Blade was equally anxious, but they still hadn't found the last and most important function that Xiao Fan had listed in the guide.
Going back now would mean all our efforts were in vain.
Seeing the inner turmoil in Iron Blood Blade's heart, Falling Leaf Ye offered a suggestion.
"How about we split into two teams? Iron Blood Blade, you take the rest of the team back to defend, and I'll take the rest to continue exploring."
Iron Blood Blade thought for a moment, nodded, and then led the 24 contestants back to the Guardian Tower.
As soon as he left, Biao Ge winked at Falling Leaf Ye, signaling him not to forget their purpose.
Falling Leaf didn't even glance at him, and led her people to continue exploring.
Biao Ge was furious, but because the event was being broadcast live, he didn't dare to say anything directly.
He has elderly parents and young children to support; if he openly betrays them, his ancestral graves will probably be dug up.
Iron Blood Blade led the team away very quickly. In fact, it was already a bit late for them to return, but fortunately they had the ability to restore their status.
Restoring your status doesn't just restore health and mana, but also stamina and spirit.
The players from the Black Nation have been traveling for a long time, and their speed is getting slower and slower, but they can maintain this speed indefinitely.
By this calculation, players from Black Nation are only one step ahead of them.
"We can make it."
As expected, an accident occurred.
Just when the Black Nation was only one-eighth of the way left, it suddenly began to accelerate.
On the minimap, Iron Blood Blade could clearly feel that the team's speed was increasing.
This unexpected turn of events caused Iron Blood Blade's expression to change drastically.
The Black Nation's speed-up will allow them to reach the Guardian Tower much faster than the others.
Iron Blood Blade panicked instantly.
"Full speed ahead!"
This event was broadcast live on the Sky Screen.
The Black Nation server was beaming with joy.
"Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you? Our team has Speed-up Item! Those Dragon Nation dared to leave the Guardian Tower unguarded! How foolish! It seems our Black Nation server is going to take the first Guardian Tower in the Interstellar Canyon!"
"No, no, no! We need to win first place in this Server Fusion Team Competition!"
Long live the Black Nation!
After seeing the Dragon Nation players unlock various useful functions in the Nebula Region, the players from the other three servers were dumbfounded. They suddenly realized that the Dragon Nation players were right to explore the Nebula Region.
The features you get from killing monsters are absolutely amazing!
Unfortunately, their players had already used up their chances to ask for help from outside the arena, so there was no way to pass this information on to their players.
They were already extremely regretful that they had replied to the message too quickly.
If we wait until we see what the Dragon Nation does before replying, we can send the information about the Nebula Region.
But at this moment, seeing the Dragon Nation player's tower being stolen while exploring the Nebula Region, his previous displeasure vanished instantly, replaced by a look of schadenfreude.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere became tense for the Dragon Nation Observation Group.
"You definitely can make it!"
One member of the Observation Group clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.
Iron Blood Blade's time to retreat was already extremely limited, but those Black Nation happened to use Speed-up Item.
"If we leave a team to guard the Guardian Tower, or if we get the Map Function and go back to defend, this is a guaranteed win."
"It's distressing," said a member of another Observation Group.
Watching the Black Nation team rapidly advance towards the Dragon Nation's Guardian Tower with the speed boost from the items on the map, while Iron Blood Blade's team was still some time away from the Guardian Tower.
The players from the Dragon Nation couldn't help but feel despair.
Losing the Guardian Tower means losing the chance to respawn; once a player dies, they will return to the server.
In this situation, the Dragon Nation Server will likely finish last in the team competition.
How could Iron Blood Blade make such a basic mistake?
One player couldn't help but question it.
The Iron Blood Team is the top team in the game from the Dragon Nation, and its captain, Iron Blood Blade, is good at everything.
They couldn't understand why, even if the goal was to explore the Nebula Region, everyone had to go in. Even if a small team of a few people had been left behind to Guardian Tower, things wouldn't be so passive now.
"Could it be that Jiu Chen's strategy guide led him to do this? I saw Captain Yi Dao checking the messages several times just now; he must be acting according to the strategy guide."
One player spoke timidly, speculating in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou He's gaze suddenly darkened, and his sharp eyes instantly locked onto the player who had spoken.
"Our players are fighting for their country and for our servers. Regardless of victory or defeat, they are heroes of our nation, and I will not allow anyone to speculate or make unwarranted criticisms behind their backs."
Sensing Zhou He's gaze, the player who had been speaking trembled in fright and lowered his head, no longer daring to utter a word.
Seeing this, the other players dared not speak, but they secretly thought to themselves.
Even the seemingly invincible Jiu Chen can make mistakes.
But his direction was clearly correct; the Nebula Region is indeed very important.
Why is this happening?
"Oh no! The athletes from the Black Nation are arriving!"
Someone in the crowd shouted something, and everyone's attention returned to the Sky Screen.
Upon closer inspection, the Black Nation's players were less than 100 meters away from their defensive tower, while the Iron Blood Blade- Slash Rescue Team still had a two-hour journey ahead!
It's over! The Guardian Tower is going to fall!
