Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 388 - 353 mutation_2

```

As his left hand brushed over the compound bow he had rehung at his waist, Bai E hesitated whether to leave this training opportunity for the players to show their skills.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The sound of clashing weapons was unceasing.

Caught in thought and decision, the attacks from four Bloodletting Vampires never stopped. With insufficient skill in combat, Bai E simply relied on his physique, which was fortified with Absolute Defense, and his base attributes, which had been augmented by a spiritual heart, to withstand their assaults.

But he could hardly counterattack.

"So many people... so many people..." Suddenly, a handsome figure dashed into the dilapidated factory that was open on all sides.

Gasping for air and still in his blood-stained clothing with a large hole in the center, Kuang Xin said as he caught his breath, "Outside, quite a few people are coming!"

Gong Yan had performed emergency treatment on him. Through a triple combination of skills, spiritual energy, and physical strength, the severe wounds that had gashed open his belly had mostly healed.

Since there was not much time and he was not placed far away, he ran back at the first sign of trouble to notify everyone.

"So many people..." Bai E’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this news.

Who could they be?

Were they enforcers from the Arbitration Place hunting demons? Or... ordinary people unconsciously attracted by the emotions dispersed from the high-dimensional space?

The existence of high-dimensional space nodes naturally attracts intelligent beings with similar inclinations, and those beings, in turn, feed back into the ripples of the high-dimensional space.

Both sides contribute to each other’s existence, which is why Arbitration Place enforcers always make it a point to promptly appear where the fluctuations of high-dimensional space are strong.

But right now... so many people?

Unless it was a large-scale operation prearranged, Arbitration Place enforcers never move out in significant numbers, so the "quite a few people" showing up now are not likely to be from the Arbitration Place.

Ordinary people drawn to the blood pool, longing for "war"?

No... it’s not just "war."

"War" demons are just a general term. As the pinnacle king of this lineage, "War" was born from the first direct conflict initiated among the intelligent beings of this universe and it continues forever, impervious to time and space.

It holds authority that is just as manifold.

Bloodlust, violence, slaughter, courage, resilience... Emotional spectrums that seem positive and negative alike are all encompassed, so intelligent beings at the core of such emotions are involuntarily drawn by the vibrations it emits.

"We can’t let them get close!"

Aside from shutting down the blood pool, the mission’s goal was to minimize the high-dimensional space’s impact on the material world as much as possible—the two are likely complementary.

If they did not first find a way to block the intelligent beings attracted by the blood pool from contributing to it, talking about shutting it down would be futile.

"Go stop them!" Directly facing the blood pool was undeniably the most likely way to become corrupted.

Over this period, the players, along with the three from Grey Iron City, had worked hard to carry out most of the spectators who had been originally present.

They could have a new task now.

As for the few Bloodletting Vampires at hand... he would take care of them himself!

Since it concerned the overall situation, he could no longer afford to be greedy and rely on the players for attribute gains.

Upon hearing Bai E’s decision, the timid side of Nova’s new personality emerged, "Should we... maybe retreat?"

As the most spiritually adept person present, she could sense more than others—

Neither the few Bloodletting Vampires in front of them nor the bewitched humans surging from outside were the key to this incident.

The one who had just "plopped" into the blood pool was undergoing a metamorphosis inside it, which lay between semi-illusion and reality.

All of that heart-pounding power was converging around him.

That was the real trouble of this incident!

The little girl not far from Bai E looked at Bai E with pitiful eyes, not wanting to get involved in matters that were originally none of her concern.

For some reason, the advice of "big sister" was like a kind of imprint, deeply etched in her mind—"Life is precious, make good use of time, and cherish life."

Every day you’re alive is for yourself, don’t pour too much energy into irrelevant matters.

The demonic invasion at hand seemed to be of great significance, but what did it have to do with her, a foreigner who had come from afar?

When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; she was short, so she refused to take the blame...

"You can leave first..." Bai E didn’t insist.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and coercion won’t result in any good. At most, it could only change their own strategy for interacting with them. Besides, they were not players, so one couldn’t force them to contribute by presenting it as a mission.

"..." Bai E’s evident refusal, and the disappointment that flickered through his eyes, made Nova’s heart tremble.

"Fine!" Meng Meng bit her lip, Nova turned and ran outside, "I’ll stop them for you!"

The abandoned factory was draughty all over, with plenty of exits. Relying on plain manpower definitely wouldn’t be enough to stop their bewitched footsteps—one had to employ more forceful measures!

Such as... Spiritual Energy fields.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don’t go in, don’t go in!" A somewhat clear voice was heard trying to put out fires everywhere, using simple physical means to prevent those puppet-like figures from advancing, while trying to awaken their conscious minds with words imbued with Spiritual Energy maxims.

There was some effect, but it wasn’t significant enough.

Therefore, the urgency intensified.

Seeing a normal figure running out of the center of calamity by their own will, Franca’s voice suddenly carried a hint of joy, "Hey! Come on! Help, help! Help me stop them, letting them go in will only escalate the disaster’s severity!"

Nova gave her a cold look from afar and remained silent.

She had just disappointed Bai, and her mood was a bit low... Read new adventures at novelbuddy

So, it’s time for you all to pay the price!

Nova’s eyes were fixed on the incoming tide of people.

It was you worthless ones, making Bai worry about so many things!

"Boom!"

The cloak draped over her body rose without wind, as if a blower were churning beneath it.

Beneath the vigorously flapping hood, her white hair fluttered, the misty glow of Spiritual Energy sparking in her eyes, shining brilliantly in the night.

The firm belief gave rise to an explosive outburst of Spiritual Energy that was incredibly wild, the shocking pressure enveloping almost the entire space of the abandoned factory in an instant.

The boundless pressure, like a series of heavy mountains, weighed down on everyone present, except their own people, even those deluded figures who had lost their minds were instantly brought to their knees under this tangible force, unable to muster any resistance.

Franca, who also felt this terrifying pressure, had to summon all her Spiritual Energy just to keep herself moving freely under this pressure.

She looked at the unfamiliar figure she had never seen before in shock—the figure hidden under the large cloak seemed so small, and the trembling brim of the hood revealed soft white hair that was wildly unrestrained under the illumination of Spiritual Energy.

Where did this deity come from?

Franca was full of astonishment; such a level of Spiritual Energy was hard to find in all of Blackwater City. How could such a person appear here at this time?

But... It seemed that she was also stopping those figures from stepping into the vortex’s center.

"Ally! Ally!" Franca waved her arms, calling out loudly. Although she could move freely, it consumed her Spiritual Energy, which was not conducive to the upcoming fight against demonic forces.

"I’m here to help!"

Nova glanced at her indifferently and then relaxed the pressure.

"Huff! Huff!" Franca breathed heavily with relief, quickly ran past Nova, and couldn’t help but take more curious glances at this surprising figure. She wondered which deity had popped out from where.

After a brief exchange of youthful gazes, Franca ran towards the true center of the vortex.

Upon seeing the figure who stood alone and defiant among the four giant demons, her mouth dropped open in surprise, "Is it him?"
