The term "unreasonable monster" had only circulated internally. Many people within the project had suggested it to him. Chen Qing wasn't exactly a dictator in his previous life; he would temporarily retain some designs that drew criticism from others, and then decide whether to modify or delete them after receiving experimental test data.
Because I am an expert in this field, I rarely encounter unreasonable designs. However, there are always exceptions. After all, this is a large project that has lasted for three years, with tens of thousands of monster models and thousands of unique monsters. Among these unique monsters, there are some that are too buggy, which is what the other party calls unreasonable monsters!
In Chen Qing's memory, there weren't many illogical monsters on the list, but each one was formidable. Among them, the Quefeng was a particularly dangerous one.
"That thing can be sealed too?" Chen Qing looked at the other person in astonishment.
In my mind, the Quefeng is a monster that can disrupt the balance!
"Often, being more powerful doesn't necessarily mean you get more," Heavenly Secrets said quietly.
"Isn't that so?" Chen Qing frowned at the other person. In this dog-eat-dog world, if the stronger you are, you get more. How could the weaker you get more?
"Of course not!" Heavenly Secrets looked at Chen Qing: "A hundred years ago, the King of Qin was already at the pinnacle of this world. Almost no one could defeat him. What was his fate?"
"Well, that should be an exception, right?"
"No, that's not an exception!" Heavenly Secrets shook his head. "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, that applies everywhere. Think about it, in those days of player-versus-player battles, what would you do if you encountered a monster with exceptionally overpowered abilities? One: Submit to it? Two: Win it over and befriend it? If it were you, what would you choose?"
Chen Qing remained silent for a while, then finally said, "Join forces with the others and kill him!"
"Exactly." Heavenly Secrets nodded with a smile, "That's only human nature. The more outstanding a being is, the easier it is to be suppressed. Unless they've already reached maturity and can't be suppressed anymore, those around them will become compliant. But before that, of course, they'll crush them if they can. What kind of talent does the Quefeng have? In your design, her bee venom can dissolve other people's talents for her own use, and she also has the strongest speed and assassination ability in the world. This kind of monster not only has strong talents, but also mainly relies on hunting others to strengthen herself. Do you think everyone will unite to crush her first?"
Chen Qing: "."
That seems to be the logic.
The original design of the Quefeng was as a terrifying, growth-type monster with extremely strong assassination abilities. After assassinating someone, its growth rate was also ridiculously high, almost like direct plunder. In the end, many service areas would be plundered by this thing and turned into a Frankenstein's monster.
Considering that this thing could easily grow into a boss that players couldn't handle, it was sealed away after several server wipes. Unexpectedly, it not only existed in this world, but was also sealed away by other players beforehand.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. This thing has to be sealed, because once Samsara, it will definitely be more cautious, and it will become troublesome once it grows stronger.
"What should we do then?" Chen Qing looked around warily. "What if they suddenly appear out of nowhere?"
"It's possible," Heavenly Secrets said, taking a bite of the roasted grasshopper.
"You don't seem flustered at all?" Chen Qing frowned as she looked at the other person.
"You forgot? I am Heavenly Secrets. If there is any mortal danger, I will react immediately."
"That's true." Chen Qing curled his lips. Among the Five Great Misters, Mr. Heavenly Secrets was the one most capable of preserving his life, but because of this, his lifespan was extremely short. From birth to death, he was usually only thirty years old. While others were in their prime at thirty, Heavenly Secrets was different; at thirty, he was almost like an eighty-year-old man.
"But it's quite possible she could suddenly appear." Heavenly Secrets sighed, tossing aside the skewer of grilled meat in his hand. He said in a low voice, "The sealing method is the same as that of the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley. They split her into several parts and then suppressed her inside the space. Normally, in such a large space, it's rare to encounter her, but you never know. Our intrusion into this space will definitely cause fluctuations. If that thing happens to be nearby, it can lock onto us. Who knows? It's been following us for half a year already."
Chen Qing: "."
"What a wise old man."
A childish voice rang out, and both Chen Qing and Heavenly Secrets trembled!
Neither of them sensed anyone approaching, but the voice was almost whispered in their ears. Feeling the cool breath on their ears, Chen Qing felt the hairs on his body stand on end!
Chen Qing stared intently at Heavenly Secrets, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets; the meaning was quite clear.
Didn't you say you didn't sense any danger?
Heavenly Secrets was also sweating profusely, and said with a wry smile, "Senior, if you need any help, please just say so. Why tease us like this?"
He could see it clearly; Chen Qing was so scared that she didn't dare to turn around, but in reality, the person wasn't behind Chen Qing at all!
They're not even in the same league! This is troublesome.
You really want me to go?
At the West Sea location, two Yaksha capable of transforming into human form were gathered. Ao Zhen looked at Ziyue with suspicion.
The West Sea is far from peaceful. The fact that the Dragon Palace forces Tian Heng's forces have been able to hold back from erupting is largely due to the immense external threats.
Near hundreds of island nations, there are billions of living sea creatures. Without the restraint of the Ancient Insect, they are frantically devouring each other, causing great damage to people's livelihoods and requiring constant protection.
This is only the least serious problem, because although the zombies evolve quickly, their individual quality is still not very good. As long as they are eliminated in time and the infection does not spread, the problem is not too serious. What is more serious are the other hidden dangers in the Dragon Palace.
The first one is the Heavenly Ghost Octopus!!
That thing didn't disappear. Chen Qing's original plan was to use the original liquid soaking around the Dragon King as a ignition source, and then burn it with the Southern Brightness Li Fire!
However, Xiao Mingyue died later, and the South Sea was occupied by the imperial court. Without the Hainan Dragon King Breed, there was a lack of people to start the fire. At that time, Ziyue could only use the remaining power of the Xuanbing to directly freeze the Heavenly Ghost Octopus.
The power of Xuanbing is useful, but not invincible. After all, this power was left behind by the King of Qin, and who knows when the King of Qin might tamper with it and unseal it. Therefore, this place must be monitored at all times. If the Heavenly Ghost Octopus awakens and devours the Dragon King, that would be really interesting.
The reason why the forces in the West Sea can enjoy the same treatment as those on the North Sea front is because they need to rapidly increase their strength to defend against potential threats from the West Sea.
The second hidden danger is the Dragon King. Like the Heavenly Ghost Octopus, the West Sea Dragon King is not dead!
The Four Seas Grand Formation could be unsealed by the King of Qin at any time. Once unsealed, the Dragon King could awaken within half a day at most, which is something that must be guarded against.
Ao Zhen was the person who knew the Dragon Palace best, and she was usually the main force guarding the place. It was really unexpected for Ao Zhen to be called upon to escort them at this time.
"The capital is dangerous, and you should be most familiar with that woman in the capital, and you should be the best able to guard against her," Ziyue said, expressing her thoughts.
Then she took out a pair of eyes, which surprised Ao Zhen. She had always thought that the eyes had been lost in the chaos, but she didn't expect them to be in Ziyue's hands.
Those eyes belonged to the dragon girl who had previously sided with Chen Qing.
"Strictly speaking, that woman should be the Dragon Queen of your West Sea Dragon Palace, right?"
Ao Zhen's face darkened, and she took a breath, saying, "I suppose so."
"We don't actually have many Transcendent forces here. Xu Hu is stationed on the northern front and can't be tied up. Tian Heng has entered the Transcendent thanks to you, but he's still relatively new to it. If we send him, and he really clashes with that woman, I'm afraid he might not be a match for her. Besides, the West Sea Army needs Tian Heng to be in command. On the contrary, your Dragon Palace forces have few awakened members and haven't fully integrated into the Jiangnan system. It's not good for us to keep wasting time in the West Sea like this."
Ziyue looked at the other person. "If you go and help Jiangnan welcome back the mistress, it will be a great achievement and will further increase your exposure. Secondly, it's also about your positioning. With Chen Qing gone, you need to make connections to build your power. If you can successfully welcome back the mistress, who has just arrived here, she will also need some power to rely on. The two of you are actually a good match."
"Oh?" Ao Zhen was taken aback. "What do you mean? The Matriarchal Party?"
"That's exactly what I mean." Ziyue sighed, "To be honest, with Chen Qing gone, the divisions here are severe. Your identity as a member of the demon forces makes you the easiest target. On the contrary, if you can maintain good relations with the Mistress, then when people think of you, they will first think of you as the Mistress's confidant, and only then of the Dragon Palace. In this way, at least the estrangement won't be so strong."
Ao Zhen was slightly tempted by this.
"Of course, I've already spoken with Tian Heng. If you successfully bring back the Mistress, your Dragon Palace guard will be followed by the Lord's guard. Besides the safety of the West Sea Dragon Palace itself, they will also be responsible for the safety of the royal family and various political figures. In this way, we can also secure reasonable Power of Faith. Tian Heng has agreed that from the moment you bring back the Mistress, he will share the Power of Faith of the Sea God with you!"
"Oh?" Now Ao Zhen was truly tempted. "Are you sure?"
