Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 896 - 252: Black Tide Investment, Abyss Seed

The consciousness projection of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit raised its head, seeing a dazzling Waxing Moon.

The battle record information of the Node Commander surged into its mind.

The opponent, like itself, was a Commander Level Evil Spirit Warrior.

It had descended to the Monster World two months later than it had, but its devouring achievements numbered in three digits, and its territory was 29 times larger, making it curse inwardly.

The enemy's information was also presented in its mind at this moment:

[Ember Dragon Clan]:

Number of individuals: 1,393,832 (discovered)

Comprehensive combat strength assessment: Commander Level

Biological form: Composed of three species - Volcano Dragon (Fire Element), Abyssal Swamp Dragon (Poison Element), and Hurricane Winged Dragon (Wind Element), each occupying different ecological niches within the clan.

Volcano Dragon: Enormously sized and robust, its body is covered in lava-like scales, with wings spread out like a curtain of burning flames. Its head is gigantic, capable of spewing high-temperature magma, scorching the earth wherever it goes, symbolizing the strength within the Ember Dragon Clan.

Abyssal Swamp Dragon: With a long, winding body containing poison sacs, it can move flexibly through complex terrains. Its tail is like a poisonous whip, adept at creating battlefield toxic fogs (which can be referenced from the Plague Series Soldiers).

Hurricane Winged Dragon: Lightweight and broad-winged, possessing high mobility, skilled at creating battlefield storms.

Clan warfare characteristics: Skilled at controlling natural weather as weapons, possessing strong battlefield control capabilities, considerably reliant on environmental changes.

Clan social structure:…

Recorded tactical methods:…

Weakness records:…

…

Having reviewed the information of the enemy forces, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit decisively called up previous battle footage records.

With the aid of the Evil Eye, the footage advanced at a speed of 1000 times.

Countless images flooded its mind.

In these frontal confrontation images, the command habits of the Evil Spirit Warrior mainly focus on controlling Death Disaster Series and Surge System Soldiers.

Facing the Ember Dragon Clan, with its significant battlefield destruction capabilities, advancement was always tough.

But in the view of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, such difficulties were nothing more than a wall that would collapse after a few more hits.

Requesting assistance even for this, what a waste!

It thought of how the opponent had arrived two months earlier, yet clearly its previous development model was all about plain advancement, having yet to learn to make good use of the Soldier Type Library.

At this moment, the voice of the Evil Eye sounded in its mind:

"Earth Thought, you're mistaken. The opponent seeking resource assistance is not because it can't handle it alone, but rather to quickly break through environmental limitations and accelerate its development pace."

"I know, still a waste."

Evil Eye: …

The gaze turned towards the battlefield direction, a new round of confrontation was building up.

The Black Tide swept across the land, with mainly Death Disaster Series soldiers descending from the roiling black clouds like raindrops.

At the end of the shared perception image, the horizon was fiercely burning, countless embers flickering in the distance.

The Volcano Dragon appeared first, its massive body crushing the earth's rock layer with each step, causing underground lava to surge.

Their bodies were like moving mountains, golden-red rivers of fire flowing through the crevices of their scale armor, with hundreds of thousands of dragon pupils glowing amidst the smoke and dust.

When they collectively spread their wings, a blazing light curtain pierced the air, illuminating tens of miles around as if it were daytime.

A waft of sulfur blew with the wind.

Then the Hurricane Winged Dragon tore through the clouds to make its appearance, the wing membrane vibrating with the high-speed flight, emitting roars, spawning storms with its wing flaps, splitting the sky into a fragmented curtain.

Beneath the shadows, the Abyssal Swamp Dragon wound close to the ground, leaving withered grass and wood in its wake, trailing behind it a toxic mucous seeped swamp bubbling away. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Just before contact with the Black Tide army, a ghastly green spiritual pattern emerged on the Abyssal Swamp Dragon's scales, with numerous swollen poison sacs pulsating rapidly.

Roar!

Amidst an ear-splitting roar, an Ember Ancient Dragon three times the size of its peers followed on stage.

The next second, a million Ember Dragons roared simultaneously.

The sound waves transformed into a substantive shockwave, causing the nearest few mountain peaks to collapse amid the thundering.

The collective magma pillars ejected by the Volcano Dragons pierced sky and earth, with the swamp dragon's released toxic fog intertwining with the tempest conjured by the winged dragon in the air, forming a death vortex spanning several kilometers in diameter.

The clouds were stained a polluted reddish-purple, boiling toxic rain showering down, corroding deep holes into the ground upon impact.

With the data provided by the Evil Eye, the Earth Thought Evil Spirit understood the power imbalance between the two sides, with the Black Tide at an absolute disadvantage.

This was also the reason this node requested help.

The gaze shifted to the silhouette hovering above the platform ahead.

This Evil Spirit Warrior was named "Ghost Teeth," wearing a dark silver menacing armor, with surface patterns, shoulder armor growing in reverse bone spikes, surrounded by six metallic barbs, and a red patterned crystal stone embedded on each side of its chest plate, presenting a domineering figure.

The battle record data showed that before arriving in the Monster World, Ghost Teeth was already battle-hardened in small world campaigns.

He had thrown himself into small world wars 12 times, always serving an auxiliary combat role.

It was through the excellent performance in commanding Evil Spirits during these battles that he was selected to become an Evil Spirit Warrior in Monster World, beginning to hone his war command abilities.

But Ghost Teeth was different from it, not graduating from the Abyssal Trial.

Reviewing past battles, it could be seen that Ghost Teeth was incredibly lucky, with his initial arrival location near a Corrosion Core, which stored vast amounts of yet-to-be-extracted Black Tide Energy, rendering its development momentum incomparable.

Secondly, the number of nodes within its territory that could continuously produce energy income was as many as 18.

"Earth Thought, you're resentful."

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit did not respond, its gaze turning towards the battlefield.

Under the control of Ghost Teeth, the Black Tide army erupted into a gruesome clash with the Ember Dragon Clan.
