The Demon Who Exterminates Offspring
The weather and atmosphere of the "Cloud Sea" are always unpredictable.
In this vast game world, the weather system is highly random. One second it may be a drizzly, misty rainy day, and the next it may be a cold wind blowing and snow falling, transforming into a snow-covered landscape.
Furthermore, many map areas in the game have their own unique climates and distinct landscapes.
Areas where the sun never rises, regions shrouded in eternal darkness. Storm-prone Forbidden Land fierce winds rage and Thunder roars, regions where countless stars fall and meteors streak across the sky, and even the aurora zone where a dazzling curtain of light appears as night falls—each region boasts unique scenery and ecology.
However, the area where the Dragon Nation Server was developed was very limited before.
There are two main reasons for this situation.
Firstly, the early player base of the Dragon server was relatively small, resulting in insufficient overall game popularity and exploration, and a lack of sufficient player volume to support large-scale map exploration and regional development.
Secondly, compared to a completely new and unknown map, upgrading and developing in an existing, well-developed area with mature mechanisms offers a higher margin for error and greater security.
Neither ordinary players nor major factions are willing to venture into unknown territories rashly, as the risks of pioneering far outweigh the rewards.
With the official merger of the four major servers, the Dragon Nation Server became the only server on Blue Star, and the number of players pouring in exploded, causing the already limited number of mature leveling areas to become overcrowded instantly.
The monster resources and upgrade materials available in these areas are simply insufficient to meet the leveling needs of many players.
The severe scarcity of resources directly triggered a server-wide competition for resources.
In recent days, conflicts in the game's open world map have intensified. Player teams of all sizes, gangs, top game forces, and even official factions organized by region have frequently engaged in large-scale battles in the open world in order to seize upgrade points and exclusive resource spawn points. Fighting and strife can be seen everywhere.
During the day they fight in the wild, and at night they curse each other in the World Channel, even spamming the Server-wide Broadcast to insult each other. Xiao Fan can see players arguing every night.
While the rewards from the secret realm are good, players can only participate once a day, so resources in the wild are equally important.
With the conclusion of this event, many players are no longer confined to the fierce competition in established areas. Instead, they are spontaneously forming exploration teams, stepping out of their comfort zones, and actively exploring and developing entirely new game areas that have never been touched before.
Meanwhile, a group of high-level players who had broken through level 100 on the server also turned their attention to the extremely dangerous Magic Beast -exclusive area.
The power of Magic Beast far surpasses that of Fierce Beast.
If an ordinary level 100 player were to act alone, even a top-tier player with excellent equipment and powerful skills would be utterly unable to contend with the Magic Beast in this area. The disparity in strength is so vast that victory is virtually impossible.
The early Magic Beast ecosystem was different from the Fierce Beast that could be found everywhere in the wild.
Fierce Beast are inherently brutal, live in groups, and often roam around in packs.
Magic Beast has a strong sense of territory; each Magic Beast occupies its own exclusive area, living in its own territory without disturbing each other.
Within the territory of a single Magic Beast, no other Magic Beast will appear, and very few other wild creatures will be found.
Even level 100 players forming elite squads and working together to hunt down a single Magic Beast can still put them in a fighting chance.
Compared to ordinary Fierce Beast and monsters in the wild, the experience gained and rewards from killing Magic Beast are vastly different. They are the core resource for high-level players to break through level barriers.
More importantly, once players break through level 100, they will awaken their own unique elemental talent.
The advancement and breakthrough of one's innate element all require the Elemental Spirit Core dropped by hunting Magic Beast, so the Monster Region is a treasure trove for level 100 players to develop.
Jian Qingfeng told Xiao Fan all of this.
Jian Qingfeng is now leading a team of level 100 players to develop the Monster Region.
According to him, there are several level 300 Magic Beast at the edge of the newly entered Monster Region, but these Magic Beasts are Neutral and players will not be attacked unless they provoke them.
Furthermore, if players are lucky, they may be able to interact with these Neutral Magic Beast, receive hidden quests, and obtain extremely rare rewards upon completion.
Xiao Fan was already aware of this; the Seven-Colored Deer and Fairy Fish he had encountered before were both level 300 Neutral Magic Beast.
You can also obtain City Upgrade Token by completing tasks for the Seven-Colored Deer.
The Fairy Fish also received a mission and is about to complete it.
Beyond the buffer zone inhabited by level 300 Neutral Magic Beast, the real, terrifying Monster Region lies deeper in.
Every Magic Beast in the Monster Region is terrifyingly powerful, ferocious, and Bloodthirst. They are extremely hostile to any player who enters their territory. Once they detect an intruder, they will immediately launch a relentless attack, leaving no room for maneuver.
The only saving grace was that there was only one Magic Beast in that area.
Xiao Fan did not transform into Huang Quan this time; in fact, he had already deleted Huang Quan's data.
After using his data to kill the Cannon's son, the entire data was practically useless.
This time, Xiao Fan became a different player.
Si Ming, the vice-leader of the Fate Mercenary Group.
When he went to the City of Kings, he met Si Ming, who was delivering goods to the City of Kings, and they traveled together to the City of Kings Mercenary.
However, once they arrived, Shen Long, that bastard, wanted to kill someone as soon as he received the goods, Si Ming had no choice but to lead everyone out of the game.
He never contacted Xiao Fan again after that.
"I wonder how Brother Si Ming is doing now?"
Something is clearly wrong with the fact that Si Ming was surrounded and attacked.
He was just going to the City of Kings to do a mission, Shen Long had no reason to kill him. The only possibility was that someone had conspired with Shen Long.
Even the fact that Si Ming and those people went to the City of Kings to deliver goods was a conspiracy.
As for who did it, it's obvious without even thinking.
However, this was a private matter for another Mercenary group, and Xiao Fan couldn't say anything about it.
During his time with Si Ming, Xiao Fan recorded his data.
Regardless of age or appearance, Si Ming is a perfect match for Xiao Fan to imitate in his adventures in the Monster Region.
However, since he was using Si Ming's appearance, Xiao Fan couldn't openly do anything bad and cause him trouble.
"Hey, you son-killing maniac, you look really ugly right now."
Zijin's voice came from the Contract Beast space.
Ever since Zijin learned that Xiao Fan was going to take her through the Lightning Tribulation, she stopped sleeping and storing up energy. The bird became incredibly active, chirping incessantly the whole way.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's face instantly darkened.
Ever since killing the Cannon's son, Zijin has given him the nickname "Child-Destroying Maniac," which is simply incomprehensible.
"Shut up," Xiao Fan said coldly.
"Cut."
A disdainful voice came from Zijin.
"Am I wrong? Tell me how many sons you've killed?"
