• Qi Yitao's eight evil demons ambushed Zero Wing's team, killing most of its members while a few escaped.

Melancholy Smile revealed Candlelight’s huge stockpile of ballistas and explosive arrows, while Feng Qianyu prepared to contact Shi Feng about lending Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion weapons.

• Water Rose proposed offering bounties and discounted residences to recruit Stone Forest Town’s players against the approaching monster army.
• Bai Qingxue revealed she had obtained more than six hundred Intermediate Heavenly Thunder Bombs and two Advanced Goblin Cannons for the defense.
• Shi Feng told Zero Wing’s leaders to continue their work, saying the forty thousand elite members and experts stationed in town would be enough, and introduced Melancholy Smile and Scorching Abyss as future meeting participants.
• Melancholy Smile reported that Candlelight had produced seventy-three Small Ballistas and stockpiled two hundred thousand Explosive Arrows, with engineers able to make more.
• At Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion’s headquarters, Feng Qianyu rejected the Nine Dragons Emperor’s taunt and contacted Shi Feng, planning to lend Zero Wing Goblin Cannons and special ammunition.

Feng Qianyu offered Shi Feng war weapons to help defend Stone Forest Town, but he asked her for Magic Crystals instead. As a massive evil beast army surrounded the town and Zero Wing appeared ready to abandon it, Shi Feng ordered hidden ballistae to attack.

• Nine Dragons Emperor dismissed the idea of attacking Zero Wing's Lakeheart City residence, believing Stone Forest Town would soon fall.
• Feng Qianyu offered Shi Feng war weapons, but he requested Magic Crystals; she sent Azure Phoenix to deliver fifty thousand and bring Goblin Cannons as a precaution.

• Yi Xiao Duzang and Qi Yitao believed Zero Wing had given up as its members appeared to number only around forty thousand and players fled the town.
• As Qi Yitao ordered the monster army to attack, ballistae appeared along the walls, and Shi Feng commanded them to strike.

Zero Wing Guild defended Stone Forest Town against the evil beast army with a powerful barrage from its ballistae, defense towers, and Magic Towers. As Qi Yitao sent stronger monsters forward, Shi Feng ordered the town’s Intermediate Magic Pulse Cannons to fire.

• Yi Xiao Duzang uploaded the town defense battle, provoking players to criticize Zero Wing Guild and question its willingness to defend Stone Forest Town.
• The evil beast army charged Stone Forest Town, and Zero Wing Guild revealed nearly eighty small ballistae across the town’s walls.

• Qi Yitao sent a smaller, stronger wave of Chieftain-ranked monsters and High Lords forward to evade the ballistae.
• Shi Feng ordered the two Intermediate Magic Pulse Cannons atop the Magic Towers to fire at the densely packed center of the monster army.

Zero Wing’s Intermediate Magic Pulse Cannons devastated Qi Yitao’s evil beast army, but five Level 70 Legendary Evilblood Earth Dragons and a host of powerful monsters reached Stone Forest Town. As the beasts charged the walls, Shi Feng activated a defensive magic array that stopped the entire army just short of the town.

• The Intermediate Magic Pulse Cannons wiped out more than 15,000 evil beasts, including over 2,000 Chieftain-ranked beasts, and badly weakened the higher-ranked monsters.
• Qi Yitao summoned five Level 70 Legendary Evilblood Earth Dragons and ordered them to destroy Stone Forest Town’s Magic Towers.
• More than two hundred Grand Lords, over forty High Grand Lords, and the five Evilblood Earth Dragons gathered beneath Stone Forest Town’s walls as the cannons’ cooldown left Zero Wing unable to answer with another blast.
• Qi Yitao ordered the evil beasts to storm the town, and Shi Feng activated the mobile defensive magic array with 5,000 Magic Crystals.
• The array’s barrier stopped the charging evil beasts less than ten yards from the walls, preventing even the five Evilblood Earth Dragons from advancing.

Zero Wing used Stone Forest Town’s defensive magic array to hold off the evil beasts, but Qi Yitao’s Tier 4 attacks rapidly drained its energy. As the barrier neared collapse, Shi Feng ordered Heizi to summon the Sacred Beasts.

• Water Rose directed Zero Wing’s members to kill weaker monsters while the defensive magic array protected Stone Forest Town from the Evilblood Earth Dragons.

• Shi Feng contacted Heizi, learned the preparations were complete, and ordered him to summon all the Sacred Beasts.
• Three golden magic arrays appeared above Zero Wing’s Residence and released three enormous golden dragons into the sky.

Three Holy Dragon Beasts turned the battle for Stone Forest Town in Zero Wing’s favor, but Qi Yitao ordered the remaining evil beasts to exhaust the town’s magic barrier. The barrier finally shattered after the army had been reduced to fewer than one hundred thousand, leaving Stone Forest Town exposed to Qi Yitao’s evil demons.

• Three Holy Dragon Beasts appeared above Stone Forest Town, stunning the battlefield and the spectators watching the fight.
• Heizi, Half-Summer Allure, and Zi Yan Liu Yun controlled the Holy Dragon Beasts and devastated the evil beast army, overpowering the Evilblood Earth Dragons.
• Shi Feng ordered Zero Wing’s members to focus on killing monsters above the Grand Lord rank, while Qi Yitao sent his forces to attack the magic barrier.
• Zero Wing’s fighters and the Holy Dragon Beasts steadily cut down the evil beast army, killing two of the five Evilblood Earth Dragons as Shi Feng repeatedly replenished the barrier.
• When the evil beast army fell below one hundred thousand, the Evilblood Earth Dragons shattered Stone Forest Town’s magic barrier with Evil Energy Roar.

After the defensive magic barrier around Stone Forest Town collapsed, Zero Wing fought to keep the remaining evil beasts out while Heavenly Burial planned to steal the barrier device. Qi Yitao then unleashed thousands of evil demons, including nineteen Grand Lords, and sent them charging toward the town.

• Qi Yitao and Yi Xiao Duzang watched the magic barrier shatter, and Yi Xiao Duzang ordered Duan Liushui to seize the device atop the Magic Tower using Heavenly Burial's hidden residences and Dark Contract.
• Water Rose rallied Zero Wing's members to defend Stone Forest Town, trapping high-ranking Grand Lords and having NPC guards and players hold back the other evil beasts.
• Qi Yitao summoned more than three thousand evil demons, including nineteen Grand Lords, revealing the strength he had built by luring players to their deaths.
• Qi Yitao ordered the evil demons to attack Stone Forest Town, and they rushed toward it in a swarm.

Shi Feng ordered Zero Wing to let the evil demons and evil beasts enter Stone Forest Town, relying on the Adventurers' Association to defend the town. After the monsters moved inside, he approved the Association's aid and deployed its maximum of 1,000 NPC adventurers.

• Water Rose ordered the small ballistae to fire at the charging evil demons, but the demons dodged every shot.
• Shi Feng told Water Rose to have Zero Wing retreat and allow the monsters into Stone Forest Town, explaining that the Adventurers' Association could join the defense.
• Zero Wing retreated through the town as Qi Yitao mocked its strategy and the evil demons entered the streets.
• Shi Feng approved the Adventurers' Association's request to assist after the system reported 94,347 monsters remained inside the town.
• Shi Feng selected the maximum deployment of 1,000 NPC adventurers, accepting a loss of 20 town fame for each one.

Zero Wing struggled to defend the Magic Tower in Stone Forest Town as intelligent, powerful evil demons overwhelmed its forces. Just as a Grand Lord evil demon threatened to break through, a group of Level 70 adventurers arrived and killed it, leaving the battle’s outcome uncertain.

• Yi Xiao Duzang watched the evil demons attack Zero Wing and hoped they would wipe out the guild, while Water Rose ordered the defenders to focus on protecting the Magic Tower.
• Duan Liushui and a five-member team waited for Zero Wing to weaken, planning to use a Tier 3 Spatial Freeze Scroll and the Assassin’s Plunder skill to steal a targeted item.
• The evil demons forced Zero Wing’s defenders back, and a Level 61 Grand Lord evil demon unleashed a Tier 3 attack that Water Rose could not stop in time.
• A Spear of Light struck the Grand Lord evil demon, bound it with golden chains, and enabled incoming spells to kill it instantly.
• Water Rose, Yi Xiao Duzang, and Qi Yitao watched in shock as Level 70 NPC adventurers appeared behind the demons, including ten Tier 3 adventurers.

Zero Wing’s NPC reinforcements turned the tide against Qi Yitao’s monster army, but the attackers concentrated on destroying the guild residence. As the barrier fell and Evil Demons broke into the hall, Gilbart appeared before the guild banner and annihilated them.

• More than three hundred NPCs, including ten Level 70 Tier 3 guards and thirty Tier 3 adventurers, joined Zero Wing’s defense and slaughtered the monsters.

• A Lord-rank Evil Demon broke through the guild hall wall, allowing agile Chieftain-rank Evil Demons to rush inside.
• Gilbart appeared before the guild banner and blasted the invading Evil Demons back out, turning them to ash.

Zero Wing’s hero Gilbart stopped Qi Yitao’s evil demon assault and helped Stone Forest Town repel the monster army. After Qi Yitao and Flame Blood withdrew, Shi Feng identified Qi Yitao as a likely Evil God Apostle and teleported to investigate him.

• Qi Yitao sent sixteen powerful evil demons toward the guild banner, but Water Rose’s Shadow Vines failed to stop them.
• Gilbart used Wild Roar to draw the evil demons’ attention, then struck them with Wild Blade and blasted all sixteen from the guild hall.
• Gilbart and the other NPCs fought off the remaining monsters while a Tier 2 Priest healed Gilbart, turning the battle in Zero Wing’s favor.
• Qi Yitao admitted the assault had failed and warned that he could build a stronger army, while Flame Blood agreed that Heavenly Burial would remain busy.
• Shi Feng watched Qi Yitao through the Magic Tower’s crystal ball, suspected he was an Evil God Apostle, and teleported to his location.

Zero Wing’s victory at Stone Forest Town alarmed the Star-Moon Kingdom’s major powers and drew new players to the guild. Shi Feng tracked down Qi Yitao and Flame Blood, but Beast Emperor appeared just as he confronted them.

• The Beast Emperor admitted Shi Feng had seen through the clone and said he had more than one, as a Level 70 High Grand Lord evil demon descended.
