Chapter 158 -153: Discovering the Spider Demon Worm Nest
Abyss Blood Pool.
In the sky hung a massive waning moon, and after the tide receded, the Abyss Blood Pool revealed countless islands of various sizes. On each island was a pulsating mass of flesh like a giant heart.
At this time, the Flying stopped by the water’s edge and fiercely bombarded a nearby island’s flesh mass. With a piercing scream, the giant flesh nest fell with a crash.
—System Prompt: You destroyed a Demon Nest and gained 50,000 experience points! You gained 100 reputation points!
—Task Hint: Current progress for the “Attack Abyss Blood Pool” mission: Destroyed Nest count 1/100.
Da Fei laughed heartily! Simple, it was just too simple! Easier than destroying the insect nests in the Pool of Radiance, it was clearly a way to gift experience! Although now the special environment prevented leveling up, all the experience was stored, and once he exited, leveling up by two or three levels was a given.
Anwen laughed, “This operation, which the Kingdom has defined as an ‘impossible level’ task, has a basic goal of destroying 100 Demon Nests. The Kingdom believes that as long as 100 Nests are destroyed, it will greatly affect the Demons’ troop supply and justify the cost of this operation. However, if the Captain overachieves, there will certainly be more rewards.”
Da Fei laughed heartily, “I love overachieving tasks the most!”
Anwen nodded, “But the Captain must not be careless, as the Demons will not allow us to destroy so recklessly. There will definitely be countermeasures. In short, it’s best to finish the mission and retreat wisely.”
Da Fei chuckled, “Got it, got it!”
In contrast to Da Fei’s successful assault, the battle at the Pool of Radiance in the China Region was a bitter struggle, or rather, a defeat.
Defeat was inevitable, right? The Hell Camp had Commander Siriel, who didn’t hesitate to expend his strength to summon level 6 and level 4 troops. Meanwhile, the Elf Kingdom still relied on players carrying level 2 and 3 rations troops. How could they win? Not to mention the oppressive presence of NPC Deirdre’s warship aiding them, which was not even comparable to the leaf boats. And the battle between the Spider Demon and Soldier Bees above ground was almost over, with both sides suffering heavy casualties and unlikely to exert dominant control again.
In any case, despite the fervent spamming in the World Channel, the defeat of the China Region was a foregone conclusion.
At this moment, the area around Lake Island shook violently again, as the underwater roots of the World Tree grasped large rocks, rose above the water, and formed a large circle of fencing.
—Battle Report: World Tree activated defense walls! Warriors of the Elf Kingdom, please rely on the walls for defense.
Instantly, there was widespread anger among the players in the China Region! Reinforcing with something useless, like Little Honey, instead of something powerful, they reinforced walls!
But there was no choice; the situation was stronger than the players. The leaf boat fleet in the China Region hurriedly retreated into the wind shelter formed by the wall, with the tree root doors of the encircling wall creaking shut.
—Battle Report: Elf Camp retreated, overall morale -2, Hell Camp won, overall morale +1!
Oh yes! The Hell fleets of various countries cheered enthusiastically before the walls, except for the China Region and Indian Zone. However, the World Channel in the China Region remained full of fighting spirit with continuous encouragement for Star.
At this moment, how could the Eternal Star in the Elf Kingdom General Staff Department hold it together?
Eternal Star hurriedly proposed to the Great Elder amidst the crowd, “Elder, the Hell Race’s troops have suppressed us. We must also have Advanced troops! Otherwise, we can’t fight!”
The Great Elder was watching a new map marked in red with other officers and seemed indifferent to the battle at the Pool of Radiance.
Damn it! Soldiers work hard, and you can’t even pay attention!
Eternal Star urgently called out, “Great Elder!”
The Great Elder finally came to his senses and nodded, “You make a good point. We also need to dispatch strong troops that can compete.”
—Battle Report: Elf Camp is offering reinforcement from level 4 Druid units. Warriors participating in the national war can exchange Merit Points for Druids. The exchanged troops will be retained after the battle.
The China Region channel erupted in excitement! Offering level 4 Druid units! Capable of ranged attacks, summoning lightning, healing, and having high defense and health—the most elite level 4 troops, feared and desired by players as the most cost-effective God-level standard troops!
And precisely because Druids are the strongest level 4 troops, they are also the hardest to obtain, even more difficult than obtaining Vampires, requiring players to repeatedly perform tedious tasks. Naturally, the Elf Clan produces fewer troops, and Druids are even rarer, so it’s only normal that they’re hard to get.
At this moment, a green light from the Underground Sky shone on the center of Lake Island, as an NPC Druid armament officer floated down, calling out, “Warriors, please come to me to exchange for the most elite troops of the Elf Clan!”
The entire island cheered, crowding around, and then erupted in curses. Needless to say, it was very expensive!
But for a large guild like Star, the concern wasn’t about the cost, it was about availability! Star was always worried that if the Hell Race could bring level 6 troops back, it would be disastrous! Now it seemed both sides were in the same boat. In terms of magic damage, Abyss Lord was not as effective as Druids, with Abyss Lord typically being powerful melee troops, nowhere near as versatile as Druids.
If Star could seize the opportunity to amass a large stockpile of Druids, which were hard to obtain in the current stage, the benefits would be unimaginable. So Eternal Star immediately instructed that all guild members exchange for as many as possible, then consolidate the exchanged Druids to equip the main force members first.
…
At this time, the Hell Race players who had leveled the playing field returned triumphantly to their camp to supplement the corrupt soil and restore Mana. Now, if the opponents were passive in their defense, the Hell Race could calmly pollute the Pool of Radiance.
Deirdre’s first battle was without pressure, and she returned triumphantly, flanked by three layers of Dragon Slayer players, full of enthusiasm to report back to her mentor.
At this moment, Siriel was drenched in soot, lacking his usual fiery demeanor and impressive presence. He said solemnly, “There’s bad news, the Abyss Blood Pool has been invaded by a Super Hero, who is slaughtering and destroying extensively!”
Deirdre exclaimed, “Mentor, didn’t you say the Super Hero fell in the Blood Pool?”
Likewise, Lei Huolong was also suddenly moved. Just how strong was this Da Fei?
Siriel shook his head, “No! The Super Hero’s power far exceeds expectations! The Demon King is very angry now! Therefore, the Demon King will certainly demand that we fully assault the World Tree, which is our chance to establish great merit, and we must go all out and not fail; otherwise, the Demon King’s wrath will descend upon us too. So, before the Demon King’s full assault order is issued, I must also carry out comprehensive rest, return to the lava to restore strength for the final decisive battle, and you, continue to perform well. Once successful, you will gain untold wealth and power!”
Deirdre nodded, though her eyes were dazed and flickering.
…
Abyss Blood Pool.
The Flying continued sweeping along the wind direction, quickly destroying ten Demon Nests. It seemed completing the base mission target of 100 was too easy. And now, ahead of the Flying was a large island, where the middle of the Demon Nest was clearly out of the battleship’s crossbow range, so only landing forces could clear it.
However, with time being so tight, landing forces would take much time, so why find trouble for yourself? Just pass it by. After all, the mission requires quantity, not quality.
As the Flying skimmed past the big island, Da Fei suddenly saw a dense swarm of Demon eggs wrapped in thick spider silk, distinct from the earlier Demon Nests. Spider silk meant it was the Spider Demon’s magic eggs, right? This meant that the Blood Pool produced various kinds of Demons.
Suddenly, Da Fei remembered the troublesome task in his backpack, “Tree Elf Vengeful Spirit Heart” (Chapter 107), which seemed to require killing a Demon Nest, though the Vengeful Spirit specifically named the Spider Demon Nest as the target. Wasn’t this the mission target? Should he kill it or not?
Since he was here, he should kill it! Even if that “ranger profession level cap +1” reward wasn’t for him as a human to use, at least it was a hidden task discovered by chance using the God-level reconnaissance Special Crossbow Cannon, and completing it would set his mind at ease. At least the experience reward wouldn’t be low, right? Anyway, given his current clearing speed, completing the main quest was no pressure.
So, prepare for the landing battle.
