The Great Calamity Descends: Crisis or Opportunity? (Continued)

"Boom... boom boom..."

A muffled rumble of thunder echoed in the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw an astonishing scene.

Under the dark sky, a large, thick cloud appeared out of nowhere, obscuring the entire territory.

Even the Moon in the Sky was covered by dark clouds, its radiance completely obscured.

The once brightly lit territory quickly turned dark.

At that moment, a dark cloud hung over everyone's hearts.

It was as if something terrible was about to happen; the atmosphere was so heavy it was hard to breathe.

"Gods above, what's going on?" Gorehowl's eyes widened. "How did such thick dark clouds suddenly appear, and with lightning!"

"Something big is about to happen!" Fordring's voice was extremely serious. "The lord is right, we may be facing a great test!"

Upon hearing this, the others also focused their attention and became extremely serious.

Shen Xing stared at the fading notification message and murmured, "The blood-gold font represents the coexistence of crisis and opportunity."

This shows that although the calamity was terrifying, it was not necessarily a matter of certain death.

"If they can overcome this calamity, they will rise to great heights and reap unimaginable benefits."

With that thought in mind, he took a deep breath. "Everyone to your positions, prepare for battle!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone immediately sprang into action.

The orcs grabbed their weapons and charged out of the city gates, while the skeleton archers quickly leaped onto the city walls and lined up in a row.

The Black Moon Knights and the Silver Moon Knights mounted their horses, and the newly recruited Chaos Hunter also gripped their twin swords.

The entire territory, like a war machine, entered a state of maximum alert at top speed.

At the same time, Shen Xing immediately notified Xia Wanyin, telling her to prepare for defense.

After all, the two are now practically bound together.

If he can't hold out, Xia Wanyin's territory will also suffer.

This is also one of the drawbacks of the ally feature.

"Call..."

The wheelchair slowly floated up, carrying him to the city wall of the southern district.

For some reason, Shen Xing had a premonition.

This calamity most likely originated from the south.

Gazing at the black mist swirling around the edge of the flames, everyone stood ready for battle.

In this tense atmosphere, three minutes passed quickly.

Leina behind him is still undergoing Metamorphosis, and her aptitude has increased from 91 points to 93 points!

Following this trend, it might even reach 100!

At that moment, everyone suddenly sensed an evil aura emanating from the depths of the mist.

They stared intently and immediately saw the gray fog in the distance being stirred, as if something was rapidly approaching.

"They're here!"

Shen Xing spoke in a deep voice, and everyone immediately picked up their weapons, ready to fight to the death.

To their surprise, what emerged from the gray fog was a monster army composed of Frenzied Corpse and Abomination.

There were quite a few, probably at least two or three hundred, all around the second or third tier.

Among them were two or three Tier Four dark gold Frenzied Corpse, and a World Abomination covered in arms and highly decayed.

"Is this the calamity?" Shen Xing frowned slightly. "How come it seems to be only of average strength?"

The others also looked puzzled.

Although these monsters are of high quality and strength, capable of annihilating the territory of a typical Tier Three expert.

But it was completely different from what they expected.

Despite this, Shen Xing remained vigilant and ordered in a deep voice, "All ranged units, focus fire and eliminate these monsters as quickly as possible!"

As soon as the words were spoken, thousands of skeleton archers on the city wall, along with hundreds of Silver Moon Knights, drew their bows.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

A dense barrage of Dark Arrow, meteor Arrows, and Freezing Arrow rained down like a storm, then triggered a violent explosion.

Swarms of monsters were blasted to pieces on the spot, unable to even get close.

Even the Tier Four 'Phantom Frenzied Corpse' and 'Thousand-Handed Abomination' were overwhelmed by this terrifying firepower.

Two of the Phantom Frenzied Corpse tried to leap up, hoping to use their speed to break through the firepower blockade.

But just as he jumped, he was frozen by Black Arrow's [Deep Freeze Arrow], and then cut in two by Xiao Hei's Full Moon Slash.

In less than twenty seconds, this monster army of several hundred people was wiped out without even making a ripple.

The men stared at the spoils scattered on the ground, still gripping their weapons tightly, showing no sign of letting up.

Shen Xing remained extremely vigilant and continued to wait on the city wall.

Five minutes passed, and no other monsters appeared in the mist; it was completely quiet.

Looking up, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Within her territory, Leina was bathed in sacred firelight, and her aura was constantly being elevated Metamorphosis.

All of this suggests that the crisis is far from over.

Shen Xing was silent for a moment, then ordered, "Send a few men to collect all the spoils."

"Yes!"

Several orcs, carrying iron axes, hurried towards the edge of the firelight.

And just then...

Shen Xing felt an unprecedented heat and pressure, as if a volcano was about to erupt beneath his feet, and he was about to be completely engulfed!

Not only him, but all the powerful figures in the entire territory felt this terrifying, scorching aura!

"Call..."

As a wave of heat swept by, the orcs froze, then turned to ashes and vanished into the air.

There were no screams, and they didn't see what creature attacked them; they were simply turned to ashes.

"Police..."

Shen Xing opened his mouth to shout, but before he could utter the word 'warning,' he froze on the spot.

He saw an eye emerge from the churning gray fog.

A gigantic vertical pupil, entirely crimson and covered in bloodshot veins!

The intense gaze swept over the crowd on the city wall, finally settling on Shen Xing in the wheelchair.

At this moment, he felt as if he were being suppressed by a burning planet, unable to move at all.

"Heh heh..." A deep laugh echoed from the gray mist, "So... you are the one that little fellow spoke of, the one who absorbed two portions of the dragon's essence..."

"Much weaker than I imagined..."

The people on the city wall stared wide-eyed, as if a moving volcano had appeared before them.

With each syllable uttered, the temperature in the air rose several degrees, instantly exceeding several thousand degrees Celsius!

The earth turned crimson, the rocks melted, and the weapons in the soldiers' hands became unbearably hot.

Those Tier Three experts were having immense difficulty breathing, while only Tier Four experts could barely maintain their strength amidst the scorching heat.

In the crowd, a tall, slender woman with an eerie appearance stared in disbelief at the eyes within the gray mist.

"Red... Red Dragon Sovereign, Glomak!" Onyxia exclaimed in surprise, "You're still alive!"

"Oh?"

The enormous vertical pupil shifted its gaze, landing on the dragon girl, a hint of surprise appearing in its eyes. "I didn't expect that in this Xiao Xiao territory, there would be someone who recognizes me."

"Judging from your aura, you should be a Pureblood Dragon from the Land of Dragons."

"Although he is the black dragon descendant I despise the most, he is quite good-looking."

"Perfect timing. There are fewer and fewer Pureblood Dragon in the clan. It wouldn't be bad to lead the female dragon back to continue the bloodline's propagation."

"I'm giving you a chance now: submit to me, and you'll be spared death."

Onyxia didn't reply, but simply gripped her dagger tightly, preparing for battle.

Shen Xing also stared seriously at the eye in the gray mist.

He knew that this calamity might be terrifying.

But unexpectedly, it attracted such a terrifying being!

Damn it, that's the monarch of one of the Five Chromatic Dragons!

It's impossible to know the extent of the power these creatures possess.

Grandmaster? Great Grandmaster?

It's probably much more than that.

"Outrageous... This so-called calamity was never intended for anyone to survive, was it?"

Shen Xing cursed inwardly, while also feeling somewhat puzzled.

How did this Red Dragon Sovereign find its territory?

Could it be that some unseen force is guiding him, and someone is undergoing tribulation at this location?

Just as he was wondering, the gray fog in the distance was stirred up, and a red light quickly approached.

Then, a familiar figure emerged from the gray fog.

He had short red hair, dark skin, and a mocking smile on his lips.

It was Conrad I had fought in the maze before.

"Shen Xing, we meet again."

He stared at the figure on the city wall, a triumphant smile on his face, "Didn't expect that, did you? We'll meet again, and in the Land of Mist no less."

"As an old friend, I'd like to have a chat with you."

"But unfortunately, you're about to die, hahaha!"

Upon seeing this person's appearance, Shen Xing roughly understood the reason behind it.

Clearly, this Red Dragon Sovereign was summoned by Conrad.
