Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 904 - 254: Divine Artifact Overlord Sword, Ultimate Despair
Frosty Winter Snowfield battlefield.
This place is considered by forum players as a training ground for rookies, only suitable for novice growth transitions.
Once one’s abilities have grown to a certain stage, there’s no choice but to move on.
Currently, the Lord of Jile has stationed a Main God in the Frost Winter Snow Region to observe the war’s progression.
The Lord of Jile can accept players and Jile’s Insect Tide, Jile Purple Tide Warriors engaging in a pecking order, but does not allow more formidable presences.
Once someone’s strength exceeds the combat threshold set by the Lord of Jile, the stationed Jile Main God will intervene.
Faced with a Jile Main God, players have no power to resist.
Often they enter the battlefield with murderous intent, before they’ve even had their fill of the battle, the next second their vision is engulfed by Darkness, instantly cut back to the little black room.
After many such times, veteran players are reluctant to come here anymore.
Thus, forum players sarcastically refer to the Frost Winter Snow Region as the "Rookie Training Base," and once one’s strength is up to par, they will be urged on by the Lord of Welfare.
Because the newbie benefits are not available to veteran players.
At this time, most of the players on the Frosty Winter Snowfield battlefield are those who have come from the Senluo Forest Region, viewing this place as a transitional growth area.
Accustomed to fighting with plant-type Life, the battle mode of the Frosty Winter Snowfield seems brutal to players from the Senluo Forest Region.
Especially for those players of lower Level, their teeth are chattering from the cold during battles, their faces flushed red.
Unlike the small-scale combat of the Senluo Forest Region, upon entering the Frosty Winter Snowfield battlefield, they are met with the relentless tide of fearless Jile Evil Spirits.
The combat styles of both sides are plain and simple, basically beating each other with bare hands.
As players would put it: low-level games need to have the fighting rhythm that low-level games should have.
There is no battle command here.
Because any player squad or player warband capable of commanding would have already graduated from the Frosty Winter Snowfield.
Those who can stay here are all rookie-level players.
The ice field constantly rings with dull thuds, the sounds of mutual beatings reminiscent of slapping each other with frozen fish.
Not far away.
"Ambush!"
A player jumps out from the snow pile, fiercely stabbing a metal shard held in his right hand into the butt of a Jile Evil Spirit.
Having succeeded in one move, the player brusquely pushes the Evil Spirit into the snow pile, then ferociously smashes a can of food frozen into an ice block onto the Evil Spirit’s head.
Nearby players, upon seeing this, also quickly joined in, swinging self-made weapons in a ferocious onslaught, until the Evil Spirit was killed.
Twenty meters away, two female players are grappling with a long-haired Jile Evil Spirit, pinning it to the ground in combat.
In close combat, the strongest weapon is teeth.
During the scuffle, teeth occasionally strike out, viciously taking a bite.
The Evil Spirit, upgraded with intelligence, also quickly opens its mouth to reveal sharp teeth in counterattack, causing the female players to scream in pain:
"Captain, help, the Evil Spirit is biting!"
"No more damage taking, what a crappy style, it looks so thrilling in the videos, but when I play, it’s totally different, it hurts so much, sob sob sob, I’m dying from pain."
Elsewhere, an Artifact Spirit Stream player finds his Qi-Blood nearly depleted, swinging his Scattering Bow like a club, landing a crisp hit on a Jile Evil Spirit’s face, then grappling with it, rolling in the snow.
The Frost battlefield from a bird’s-eye view resembles a local gang fight scene.
All around the snowy ground are players and Jile Evil Spirits rolling in a chaotic melee, with a lively atmosphere in the regional voice channel.
...
North-east direction of the Frost battlefield.
The gale howls, lifting waves of snow.
Fine snowflakes dance in the air, colliding and intertwining, making it difficult to discern the boundary between sky and earth.
At this moment, a figure jumps down from a skateboard trailing colorful light.
Upon landing, the floating skateboard automatically decomposes into pixel blocks that fly over, forming a white garment on him.
After scanning the surroundings, Qiao Wu heads straight to a snow tree.
Brushing the snowflakes off his body, he leans against the tree trunk and sits down.
He summons the map function.
You can see he has already entered the unexplored Fog Zone in the northeast direction of the Frosty Winter Snowfield.
After taking a screenshot, he opens his friends list to check the pinned group chat: Air Wall Pioneers (39 online).
Below the group chat name is a description: A professional illegal organization for mapping game boundaries.
This is an internal chat group he established with a bunch of exploration enthusiasts.
Regularly sharing breathtaking scenery, novel discoveries, and quirky anecdotes encountered during exploration inside. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Occasionally, he also posts game background materials he’s organized, which, if group members find no issues with, he then publishes on forums.
The revenue for them, Exploration Faction players, mainly comes from three parts.
Treasure hunting (opportunities), live streaming (donations), forums (donations)... among which the majority of revenue is from live streaming and forums.
Forums are mainly used to attract popularity, serving as a means to draw in a steady stream of viewers to the live stream.
So supplementing background materials and exploration findings is a way to attract attention on the forums.
Just like the Explorer, who initially gained fame through the forum, now his live streaming room is on the trending list every day, enviable.
Opening the group chat, he sees fast-scrolling new messages:
Passing Fox: Newly discovered underground cave, there’s a really tasty type of mushroom here, although it doesn’t fetch a price, there’s plenty of them, earning 3500 sacrificial power shouldn’t be a problem, earning sacrificial power feels great... Brothers, quickly help me see if this mushroom has any potential undiscovered value, I’m afraid of selling it cheap (uploaded 8 screenshots)
Crystal Hunter: The scenery here is really nice, but the nearby monsters are a bit strong, is there anyone to team up for exploration, a bit scared to go alone, there are all level 60+ monsters ahead, feel like moving forward means dying and spawning back at the village (shared coordinates)
