324 Chapter 268: Entering The Dungeon, Players Gather [2/2]
[Every time you capture a player’s territory, you will earn 5000 points.]
[All overlords will participate in this large-scale instance dungeon.]
[The dungeon lords and soldiers can spend points to revive after they die in the dungeon.]
[All lords, please be prepared.]
Richard perked up at the notification.
The instance dungeon they had waited for a month was finally about to begin.
He was excited at the thought of tens of billions of players fighting on the same stage alone.
After he returned to his senses, he looked at the system notifications a few more times and filtered out the main points–the longer he could defend his territory, the more generous the rewards would be.
One would earn points if it killed monsters and conquered players’ territories.
These three points represented the most indispensable way to gain something.
Their morale was high.
The Twilight City residents had long sharpened their swords, and now, they just waited for the enemy to come to them.
Richard excitedly opened the [Forum Chat] and found the boisterous players.
[Brothers, charge! Today, I’m invincible!]
[Today is the day we attack and take over the Shabarka Empire! I’m sorry, Brother Meng. I’ll accept the first place!]
[I am slag, a brother will come and f*ck me…]
Expression of arrogance continued…
In his excitement, five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
The moment the system’s countdown reached zero…
A dim light suddenly appeared in Richard’s line of sight.
The ray of light that appeared out of thin air shrouded the entire Twilight City. Then, like a red ink that dripped into clear water, it quickly spread outwards.
He only felt his vision gradually darken.
After a few breaths, he could finally see the front again.
The scene reflected in his eyes quietly changed.
Thick dark clouds shrouded the sky that had blazed just a moment ago.
Dark clouds covered the city. It was like a heavy storm was about to fall.
Black clouds that rolled gave people an inexpressible sense of oppression.
Richard looked into the distance.
The yellow sand was still there, but an enormous, black land was at the end of his vision.
The wind blew, and a stinky smell filled his nose.
It was like the black land had locked the air in an enclosed space for a long time without circulation.
It immediately made people feel a little suffocated.
[Ding~ Your territory has entered the collapsed earth. It is a dangerous and crazy world. Please take care and protect.]
[Ding~ The battle of the guards has started. One cannot use the [Forum Chat] in the dungeon.]
[Ding~ The system has opened the ranking scoreboard; the guardsmen ranking scoreboard. Please view.]
A few system notifications jolted Richard back to his senses.
‘The name of this instance dungeon was… The collapsed earth?
‘How did it collapse?’
After Richard closed the notification, he seemed to have thought of something.
He directly controlled the sand to fly into the air and look around.
What surprised him was that the instance dungeon had moved the agricultural area.
The crisp Russian olives and puffy barleys rippled in the breeze.
Curiosity sideswiped his heart when he saw this scene.
If that was the case, didn’t that mean the land of quicksand had also entered?
He turned his head and glanced at the god’s ancient tree, which did not dare to move in the city square.
His mood improved.
If the land of quicksand was brought in, with this fishing expert around, wouldn’t the monsters of the other dimension trap themselves in the city?
Without any hesitation, he flew out.
After he passed through the agricultural area, the land of quicksand came into view.
Richard chuckled.
As expected.
He flew around Twilight City after that and discovered the land of quicksand wasn’t the only place brought in.
The instance dungeon had brought in an area of about 20 kilometers.
It made him feel very comfortable.
With the desert around, it was the troops of Twilight City’s home ground.
He was not afraid the enemy would target him and his troops.
Then Richard summoned Alves with a wave of his hand as if he remembered something.
He had the others stay on guard while he commanded the dragon hero to fly straight out.
Alves flew at high speed. It crossed the yellow sand in the blink of an eye and flew into the collapsed earth.
When the dragon hero looked down, no plants grew on the black collapsed earth. And it gave off an unpleasant smell of sulfur.
When it sensed carefully, the black land also emitted evil energy the dragon hero never saw before.
It was like the aura that the abyss left behind. It could send chills down one’s spine.
Richard’s expression was solemn. He could sense danger from the ground.
“Alves, descend.”
The dragon hero with a wingspan of more than 30 meters immediately flapped its broken wings and landed on the ground.
Richard jumped down.
When his legs touched the ground, his expression changed.
The evil energy mixed into the soil and rocks was like a shark that had smelled blood.
Instantly, it surged up from his feet, devoured, and assimilated his power.
He could sense that if he stood still for a long time, the evil energy in the earth would starkly find him.
“This is the collapsed earth?”
Richard pondered at the black collapsed earth before he floated back up and sat on Alves’s back.
The dragon hero had also sensed something was wrong with the ground. As soon as Richard sat on it, it spread its wings and took off. It did not stay for even a second.
As he thought about it, he continued to fly out.
Richard saw something different after he traveled for about ten miles.
It was a lush forest.
The aura it emitted was starkly different from the surrounding evil land.
He immediately became interested.
It drove Alves closer.
However, just as he entered two hundred meters…
‘Weng!’
Suddenly, they could hear a bird’s cry.
From the forest, 300 – 400 lives with gray wings and falcon heads flew out.
They held bows and arrows in their hands. They stared at the approaching Alves with fear in their eyes.
[Harpy, Level 5, Rare soldier.]
After Richard looked at his stats, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
It had been more than three months since he entered the “Shining Era”. And he had finally seen his first player’s territory.
This territory was incompatible with the collapsed earth and belonged to the nature faction.
Harpies were quite famous on the forum.
These units were born with the ability to fly and had expansive mobility.
When Richard looked at the harpies’ vigilant look, he did not approach any further. He commanded Alves to fly in another direction.
The instance dungeon had only just begun. It would be too dull to act so quickly.
It’s good to keep it for fun.
After Richard flew another 10 kilometers, he saw the second player’s territory.
It was a city that looked like a machine.
The Fortress City.
Alchemy cannons, flintlocks, and mechanical puppets were the signature power of the Fortress City.
Outside this territory was low grass, and one could view the city from a distance.
Similarly, Richard had only made a rough estimate of his opponent’s strength and did not make any further moves.
Next, he patrolled the surroundings with Twilight City as the center.
In total, he discovered ten player territories.
There were two in the nature camp, three human city-states, one undead, two fortresses, one church, and one demon castle.
The distance between the territories was about 10 kilometers.
They would arrive in about an hour if they marched on the ground.
The flying units could make a return trip in ten minutes.
After Richard returned to his territory, Gray reported to him that the dark gargoyles on guard outside encountered a group of harpies, who had retreated after they spotted the Twilight City troops from afar. That happened after he left.
Richard was amused.
Since he explored other territories, these would naturally have ways to explore Twilight City.
[However, was this guy here to deliver food?]
