The sinister beings' movement was not directed at them.
Fang You suppressed the urge to eradicate them, instead retreating to observe from afar.
These sinister beings were not fast. They continued to roar and roam overall, but when the timescale was extended, it was clear they were moving in a straight line outwards.
Their destination was…
"Referring to the map, if this group of sinister beings continues in this direction, they will surge into Jiangbei City."
"The closest city to Fangkuai Mountain is Jiangbei, only tens of kilometers away."
"Mentor, are you saying they are attracted to Jiangbei City, forming a sinister tide?"
An Jianyou's mouth gaped open, her eyes wide.
Fang You said, "When the number of sinister beings reaches a certain scale, their hunting patterns may change. Of course, this is just my guess for now."
After observing for a while, the sinister beings continued to advance slowly but steadily.
He spoke, "Let's move."
Hei Dao could no longer hold back. Gripping his demon-slaying saber, he charged into the distant horde of sinister beings, ready to kill!
An Jianyou also unleashed all her sinister beings.
Two three-star and three two-star entities, all went into action.
They charged forward with imposing momentum, tearing a group of sinister beings to shreds in a few moves.
It made it seem as though they were the villains, while the horde of sinister beings was weak and pathetic, chopped to pieces with every strike.
The operation was going smoothly.
However,
When the three-star sinister beings from Fangkuai Mountain appeared, leading a large group of one and two-star beings, pressure mounted.
Brother Hei Dao repeatedly charged through the horde, his demon-slaying saber exceptionally brutal. Yet, the speed at which he killed sinister beings couldn't match the rate at which they converged from all sides, making it incredibly dangerous, causing Fang You's eyelids to twitch.
An Jianyou's efficiency was higher.
She controlled the White Bone Knight, and a single charge could crush over a dozen sinister beings.
Her second three-star entity was the 'Tri-Headed Sinister Lantern,' a creature formed by three human-headed lanterns slowly rotating together.
It was an advanced version of the two-star 'Sinister Lantern.'
A special ranged sinister being, capable of releasing green ghost flames.
The flames burned fiercely, and wherever they passed, one-star sinister beings were instantly annihilated.
An Jianyou was awarded the 'Best Output'!
However, it wasn't without danger. Some sinister beings lurked in the mountain forest, adept at hiding. In this situation, where sinister beings were everywhere, the mission map couldn't provide any warnings, so they had to be cautious themselves.
*Snap!*
Fang You extended his invisible hand and extinguished a sinister being attempting a sneak attack.
But the sinister tide was still too overwhelming, with more and more beings attracted and converging.
This couldn't continue.
He extended his hand.
The invisible hand grew immense, radiating lightning. Across the four corners of the sky, the belief power from Hei Dao, An Jianyou, Hei Tong, and his own burned as fuel, integrating into it.
In an instant,
The meter-long lightning hand seal surged again, carrying terrifying, brilliant lightning, sweeping through the pile of sinister beings before finally striking a massive three-star entity.
*Boom—*
The forest thundered, and rocks tumbled down the mountainside.
An Jianyou's small mouth parted slightly.
She was both shocked and excited.
Because once again, they had silently saved the world.
…
Two days later,
Leaving behind a scene of devastation in Fangkuai Mountain and its surroundings, Fang You returned to his base and opened the Salvation Game.
"Sinister Crystals: 333"
"Fate Points: 404.4"
"My approach was correct. The abundance of sinister beings in the wilderness naturally makes their eradication more efficient, leading to greater daily profits."
"However, the wilderness is not like a city. When doing missions in the city, one can rest from time to time, but in the wilderness, one must maintain a constant state of alert. Without a safe haven, one might not even dare to sleep soundly."
"The most suitable mission mode is to go out in the morning and return at night… although this will waste a lot of time on the road."
"And…"
The game interface switched to the mission module.
It showed the sinister beings in the four cities of Baijiang. The number of wild sinister beings had significantly thinned, especially in the Fangkuai Mountain area, which resembled a bald patch in dense hair.
The remaining areas, not yet thinned, were still sources of Fate Points, and there were many of them.
But this also meant more than just Fate Points; it also meant…
"Sinister Tides."
"Perhaps they are already appearing in more and more places."
"Regardless of profit or world safety, I will set a small goal: to expand Xin Huo's operational scope to cover the entire Donghuang."
"Coincidentally, the map can be upgraded, and I also have one chance for a ten-pull on Fate, hoping to draw more apostles."
…
*Hiss—*
A military-green off-road vehicle skidded to a halt on a deserted country road.
The car doors opened, and three combat personnel in black, streamlined combat suits, equipped with various gear and items, emerged.
Compared to investigators, their gear appeared more expensive, and they moved like the wind. One of the operatives drew a standard-issue combat saber and, with a few swift strikes, killed a sinister being in front of them.
"Confirming the vicinity is safe."
"No sinister beings detected."
"We are eleven kilometers from our destination. From now on, we must be careful and vigilant. This is one of the places predicted to have the highest chance of a sinister tide occurring. We cannot be too cautious."
"Our objective is to scout the conditions in the target area and bring back intelligence. Avoid sinister beings as much as possible unless absolutely necessary."
"Yes, Captain!"
"Understood, Captain!"
The three special operatives proceeded cautiously.
The one in the lead wore a special dual-lens instrument on the front of his helmet, resembling night vision goggles, the only one so equipped. He was constantly scanning their surroundings and occasionally signaling his teammates with hand gestures.
As they advanced, they drew closer to the target area.
But the three felt something was wrong, very wrong!
"The prerequisite for a sinister tide is a dense concentration of sinister beings, in large numbers. In other words, this area should have one of the highest numbers of sinister beings in our Donghuang territory. But how is it so quiet all the way here? We haven't even encountered a few sinister beings," the team member 'Woodpecker' muttered softly.
Another team member, 'Antelope,' nodded, "Could it be that 'that person's' prophecy was mistaken?"
"That person's prophecies have never been wrong. Moreover, the normal number of wild sinister beings wouldn't be so low. Something is very wrong!"
The Captain's expression was solemn.
There might be a great terror ahead!
The three became even more cautious, stopping to scout their surroundings after almost every short distance forward.
But suddenly,
'Woodpecker,' with the strongest long-distance vision, stopped and pointed into the distance.
'Antelope' and the Captain quickly moved forward.
The trees in this area were dense, and the foliage should have blocked the sunlight. However, light now shone on the faces of the three, illuminating their stunned expressions and bewildered eyes.
In their vision, rocks were shattered as if cleaved by a blade, trees were cut down at the waist, the ground was scarred, and black pits and giant claw marks were visible everywhere. wisps of black and green smoke rose.
Not far away lay a colossal, twisted limb, several meters long, emitting thick green smoke as it slowly dissipated.
Only the ground retained an indelible blackness.
Beside this twisted limb, on the rocky mountain, the rocks were neatly fractured, forming a…
giant palm print, over several meters long.
It was deeply imprinted on the steep mountainside.
"What on earth happened here!"
