• Linhai City gathered extraordinary fighters to attack the Tier 1, Level 90 Mountain-Carrying Demon Turtle, but their attacks failed to harm it.
• The fighters remained locked in a stalemate as they faced the risk that the Blood Moon Calamity would descend early if they failed to defeat the world boss in time.

Chen Nian rushed to defeat the world boss before the subjugation timer expired, but Ye Hongling spotted him and pursued him through the sky.

Li Yunwei’s team found that someone had slaughtered three Calamity Beasts and every other monster in the valley, leading her to suspect Buyu. Elsewhere, Chen Nian gained the Wind-Gathering Cannon and synthesized the rare Wind and Lightning Flash, then responded to a call for mages to tackle a level 60 dungeon.

• Li Yunwei led her law enforcement team into the valley and found the remains of three Calamity Beasts, apparently killed without a fight.

• Chen Nian answered a recruitment message and traveled to the Gloomy Forest to join a dungeon party.
• Qiu Ya tried to warn Chen Nian that the party were thugs, but he mistook her frantic signals for an eye problem.
