Chapter 139 Difficulty Escalates

Dou Youyou heard the news as soon as she logged in and found Zhang Pingfan at the first moment.

"Master, I heard about it. How did unknown creatures suddenly appear around our Pingfan City!"

Actually, Zhang Pingfan didn't know the specific reason. He couldn't say that they were coveting something in Pingfan City, but he didn't even know what it was. If you don't even know yourself, what's the point of talking about it?

"Not very clear, but they must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise it will bring great trouble!"

"Understood, I'm already gathering guild members. Should we call over all the members of the three major guilds?"

"Yes, this mission is very difficult. The three major guilds are just what we need to solve the urgent problem, after all, the players of the three major guilds are of higher level!"

"Okay. I'll go contact them now!"

The village chief of Pingfan City once again issued a mission, which made many players who successfully leveled up to level 30 come to Pingfan City eagerly. This was the first time they truly felt the missions issued by the village chief.

However, the difficulty of this mission far exceeded their imagination.

In the mission column, the difficulty was directly marked as red, indicating hard mode.

The guild leaders of the three major guilds also immediately gathered their guild members above level 30.

Try their best to ensure that their guild members get this mission.

Wave after wave of players received the mission and rushed out of Pingfan City, but another large wave of players emerged from the resurrection point.

"Damn it, no wonder it's a red marked difficult mission. These unknown creatures are too strong! If this wasn't a team mission, who could complete it?"

"It's the first time I've encountered a difficult level. I don't know if I should be happy or cry!"

"You'll get used to it. In the past, the village chief's missions had easy and difficult ones. Difficult missions, such as dying more than ten times when defending the city, were a small matter. Easy missions, such as helping the village chief build houses, would directly get free attribute points, which was very simple. It's impossible to always be simple or always difficult. Relax, there will definitely be simple missions in the future, but this one might indeed be a bit difficult!"

"Hey, that's just bad luck. But we can't not do the village chief's mission. The reward of 5 free attribute points is too tempting!"

From the moment Zhang Pingfan issued the mission, his HP and defense changed.

As before, Zhang Pingfan was in a state of extreme danger.

His HP was only 100, and his defense was almost 0.

As long as the unknown creatures attacked him 100 times, Pingfan City would be lost, and everyone's mission would fail.

Zhang Pingfan was also unable to leave Pingfan City at this time, which made him very distressed!

Dou Youyou, along with Zhao Xin, Dou Junwan, and others, were fighting an unknown creature. Because of Dou Youyou's presence, their fight was quite easy.

But there would still be occasional casualties.

Dou Youyou had a mobile spring above her head, making her fearless of any damage.

However, other members dared not get close to her because her attack damage was too high, and the boss's aggro was all on her.

This led to casualties among other members even with the protection of the mobile spring.

"These unknown creatures are too difficult to fight. The other members of Sister Da's guild seem to be struggling!"

In the guild channel, guild members were complaining.

The intensity of this mission was completely beyond their capabilities, especially these unknown creatures, which not only had high attack but also thick defense.

Dou Youyou's expression was grim. Her attacks had always been invincible, but this time, although her attacks dealt massive damage to the unknown creatures, they were not fatal.

Even with Dou Youyou, it took more than ten minutes to kill one unknown creature, but other players were not so lucky.

Dou Junwan looked at the unknown creature lying on the ground.

With Dou Youyou, their efficiency was already like this, so one could imagine the efficiency of others.

"All guild members please note, players who have accepted the mission, the original 10-person groups will be reorganized into 20-person groups to kill unknown creatures. After all, the mission has a time limit of three days. Anyone slacking off could lead to mission failure. Everything everyone does will be in vain. Please unite. If you really can't hold on, you can find us!"

"Understood! We're not stupid enough to give up 5 free attribute points!"

Dou Youyou's move did indeed make the players much more relaxed.

Not only did the players' death counts decrease, but their killing efficiency also increased.

However, the number of unknown creatures did not decrease, but rather tended to increase.

On the other hand, Zhang Pingfan, who was standing in the city, kept receiving notifications.

Originally, there were only 100 unknown creatures. After a few hours, not only did the number of unknown creatures not decrease from 100, but it increased to over 300.

"What's going on? Why are there more and more?"

"System sister, please explain why the killing speed is not fast enough!"

【Ding! Yes, the players' efficiency is too low, leading to the rapid reproduction of unknown creatures. Please try to improve your killing efficiency!】

Zhang Pingfan fell silent. Wasn't this making things difficult for him? There were only so many players above level 30.

The most important thing was that the level of the unknown creatures was unknown, and the players' attacks were significantly weakened. Now, they could barely manage to kill them with minimal casualties, but they couldn't achieve rapid killing efficiency.

Zhang Pingfan had sent out all the players who could accept missions, but at this rate, the unknown creatures outside Pingfan City would only increase, and it would be truly unmanageable.

Zhang Pingfan decided to find the three city lords, but at this time, he could not leave Pingfan City at all.

He returned to the small courtyard and found Hei Huang.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Have you seen the unknown creatures outside?"

"I felt them, but they have no intention of attacking Pingfan City at the moment, so I haven't made a move!"

Zhang Pingfan frowned. What was going on? Were they just gathering outside Pingfan City?

"Do you have any solutions? The number of unknown creatures is increasing!"

Hei Huang said, "These unknown creatures are only afraid of magic. If I make a move, I can indeed solve some of them. The reason I haven't acted is that once I make a move, the reproduction rate of these unknown creatures will be even faster!"

Zhang Pingfan was stunned. Why was this? If Hei Huang made a move, it should have solved most of the problems.

"What's going on? Do you know the origin of these unknown creatures?"

"Yes, they must be coming for that thing. I encountered them when I traveled the continent before. The lower the level of people who kill these unknown creatures, the lower their reproduction rate. But if I make a move, it will directly provoke their mother body, causing their reproduction rate to double, and then it will be even harder to manage!"

There was such a thing, wasn't this clearly making it impossible for him to complete the mission?
