The noisy seventh level was filled with the roars of countless monsters.
Starlight continuously fell from the sky.
Chu Tian began to use large-area AoE skills.
Starfall…
Many monsters blocked behind others had already lost a tenth of their health.
Zhao Lei was also using various AoE attacks on these monsters, drawing their aggro.
Fortunately, Chu Tian only had the "Starfall" skill, which was a rather weak area-of-effect attack.
Otherwise, Zhao Lei estimated he wouldn't be able to hold onto these creatures.
As minute after minute passed, Chu Tian and his companions were bottlenecked in the corridor, mindlessly cycling through kills.
"I'm out of mana, you guys continue! Zhao Lei, you damn idiot…" Lin Ran unleashed his final skill.
His magic points were depleted.
He couldn't consume potions to restore mana during combat.
He had to retreat, waiting for slow recovery.
Since only two monsters could attack Zhao Lei, Gao Kai and Lin Yu, under Chu Tian's instructions,
They both held back from attacking.
Qin Yao was the only one maintaining Zhao Lei's health.
At this moment, her magic points had also dropped to half.
The instant he engaged the monsters, Chu Tian's primary concern was sustained combat capability.
However, it was fortunate that there was only one magic-damage dealer in the team.
With three healers, they should be able to hold on.
During this time, he had also berated Zhao Lei profusely.
…
The fourth level of the Nameless Dungeon.
"Damn it, you bunch of morons, you drew the monsters to the entrance, and now going down means death."
"Can you blame us? We were just trying to escape."
"Now is not the time to argue about this, we need to figure out what to do!"
"What else can we do? We can only rely on numbers."
"Right, let those who haven't died yet take the lead and draw the monsters away."
The allied forces from Blackwater City were arguing within the team.
After they had gathered, a wave of people went down.
As soon as they reached the bottom, they were met with countless skeletal warriors.
Like cutting through cabbage, they turned thousands of people into minced meat.
The deaths of these thousands were not without effect.
At the very least, they brought back information about the fifth level.
As soon as the information was sent to the team,
Several guild leaders became restless.
They had already expended too much in this pioneering attempt.
If they had to turn back now, the losses would be catastrophic.
Although the monsters on this level provided abundant experience, they yielded no drops.
They could only hope that this was just the upper level, and reaching the lower levels would bring good rewards.
Unbeknownst to them, Chu Tian and his brothers had already reached the seventh level.
This was also the most valuable level of the Nameless Dungeon.
As time ticked by, monsters fell one by one.
Just as the allied forces of Blacksoil City finally cleared the monsters on the fifth level,
And entered the sixth level.
They were met with an empty space, devoid of anything.
Not a single monster was present.
This situation did not bring joy to the guild leaders.
Instead, it filled them with a sense of unease.
"Send a few people to scout ahead."
Before long, they received a piece of news.
News that brought bitter expressions to their faces.
At the entrance from the sixth to the seventh level,
An endless horde of skeletons completely blocked the passage.
Furthermore, this level also had wandering skeleton assassins.
Many had fallen victim to the assassins' sneak attacks.
The few who reached the entrance were instantly torn to shreds by the surprise attack of the skeletons.
Chu Tian's ability to group monsters was exceptional.
From a distance, the skeleton monsters were not activated,
So their numbers were not apparent.
They were all stacked together, forming a mound of white bones.
Upon activation, they truly resembled an army of skeletons.
It wasn't even easy to lure the monsters away.
The allied forces of Blackwater City could only resort to attrition tactics.
Sacrificing player levels, they formed suicide squads.
It took them more than two hours to disperse these skeleton monsters somewhat.
"Our losses this time are too great. If we don't get any rewards, it will be a huge loss."
"What are you afraid of? The Huang Corporation is paying for it anyway."
"Exactly!"
"Uh… that's true!"
"Do you think we should…"
"What do you think…"
"Heh heh… then I'll report double the amount and take thirty percent of the extra for myself, is that okay?"
"Naturally, that's fine…"
Tens of thousands of players died wave after wave, and then respawned wave after wave.
Finally, after three hours, the passage to the seventh level was cleared.
Seventy to eighty thousand players on this level had lost an average of two levels.
Many people were now trembling at the sight of bones.
The fear of continuous death was constantly accumulating.
It was too unbearable… that suffocating feeling, the dizziness… losing consciousness.
But the guild leaders were grinning from ear to ear.
The greater the losses, the greater the profits to be gained.
Thinking about reporting double the amount, with an extra one hundred percent profit, splitting it among them meant a considerable fortune.
Recently, the Nameless Dungeon was discovered here.
After the Heavenly Dao World had been operating for so long, a few treasure lands had appeared.
There were also dungeon activations and secret realms.
When this Nameless Dungeon was discovered,
The Huang Corporation had ordered them to pioneer it.
All expenses would be covered by the Huang Corporation.
Now, almost all of Blacksoil City was under the dominion of the Huang Corporation.
The same was true for Four Seasons City.
There were not many guilds that had not come under the Huang Corporation's banner.
Although guild wars could now be initiated, they were limited to skirmishes in the wilderness, disrupting leveling, and so on.
They had no real impact.
However, the opening of the Fortress Conquest would bring about a major reshuffling.
Guilds that had not submitted to the Huang Corporation were living in fear.
The official website had also released some information about the Fortress Conquest, which stated that after the conquest began,
Within 12 hours, a fortress must be captured, and the guild headquarters must be relocated there.
From then on, there would be no more guild headquarters locations within the main cities.
All guild headquarters must relocate, and any that failed to move within twelve hours.
Their guild headquarters would be directly repossessed by the system.
The guild would also be directly disbanded.
Guilds of level six or higher could participate in the Fortress Conquest. Guilds below level six could register under a level six guild to form an alliance and relocate their guild headquarters.
This meant that once the Fortress Conquest battle began, solo guilds, or those not yet exceeding level six.
Would have to find a patron, otherwise, they would disappear into the annals of the Heavenly Dao.
Upon the release of this brief announcement, almost all guilds were stunned.
Those solo guilds were even more dejected.
This expansion pack felt like a complete unification of the war zones.
The weak could only be ruled by the strong and become subordinates.
Those who did not wish to become subordinates, or groups that were not accepted,
Would be directly eliminated by the system…
Chu Tian did not care about other war zones, but Four Seasons City and Blacksoil City were already experiencing panic and chaos.
Many people began to negotiate with the Huang Corporation.
However, the Huang Corporation, which had been expanding aggressively, now adopted an attitude of refusal.
Those who had been offered a helping hand by the Huang Corporation in the past.
Whom they had ignored, now received a cold shoulder.
This made them even more anxious.
If this continued, their only fate was extinction.
However, the Huang Corporation's internal circles were now filled with laughter.
This official announcement had made them highly sought after.
