And this blood tide will keep rising to three hundred meters, with the highest building here, aside from the central tower, only reaching one hundred fifty meters! This forces all the Awakened to be gathered together!
By then, if Chu Xiu's predictions are correct, the three Corpse Demon tribes within the high tower will launch a frenzied chase after the Awakened among them! This is a head-on collision that cannot be avoided!
The Awakened who just escaped from the Sea of Blood to the high tower are undoubtedly scattered, which will inevitably cause extreme casualties, saying half will die is already optimistic!
And the death of these people will further enhance the power of the Corpse King!
"So this is the logic of the task? If the Awakened can quickly reorganize and kill the three Fierce-tier elites with minimal casualties, then the pressure will be much less when facing the Corpse King in the end."
"But if there are massive casualties at the start, it would undoubtedly lead to a vicious cycle, and once the Corpse King's power is unsealed to a hundred percent, it will be a terrifying entity far beyond what the Awakened can handle."
"Escaping is also impossible because the blood tide will rise. Once the Sea of Blood submerges the Corpse King's body, besides the points which will keep increasing, it will also gain a regen buff, then passing the level becomes more impossible. In other words, the Corpse King must be killed within an hour, forcing the Awakened to adopt aggressive combat strategies."
"This is indeed somewhat interesting."
"But the problem is..."
"Those three tribes have already been wiped out by me?"
Chu Xiu chuckled a bit, wondering if this inadvertently saved many Awakened lives?
Truth be told, this world task is extremely perverted in its difficulty. According to the strength of those three Fierce-tier elites, even with optimistic estimates, half of the thousand Awakened entering this Abyss would die.
And if you consider the final boss battle, it's highly likely for a total wipeout! Perhaps only a few with life-saving trump cards might escape.
"This truly is... an immense contribution!"
Chu Xiu sighed, then looked towards the Corpse King at the top of the high tower.
Originally, even if the Awakened were very strong and no one died, the Corpse King could still absorb death points from the Abyss creatures, gaining a guaranteed base unsealing power.
But now, as long as Chu Xiu ensures no one on his side dies, the Corpse King will fall into a completely weakened state without any points!
"Since that's the case..."
Chu Xiu's gaze turned cold, and without another word, the four wings of the strange bird beneath him flapped fiercely, carrying Chu Xiu swiftly towards the top of the Corpse King!
The sudden commotion immediately attracted the attention of all the Awakened below.
"Damn! The Dark Night Monarch has engaged, it's time for contributions!"
All the Awakened immediately prepared to head towards the top of the tower.
"Wait!"
But at this moment, Zhang Qingshan suddenly shouted to stop them.
He looked anxious: "In our command outpost, there's still a large number of support professions!"
"Without our help, there's no way they can make it in time!"
The command post is near the city wall, nearly thirteen kilometers away from the central tower! And most of those support professions are at level three or four and absolutely can't make it in time!
And once the streets are flooded, it will be a dead end!
"We have to go back and get them!" Zhang Qingshan shouted loudly.
However, almost no one paid attention to him.
The round trip from here to the outpost is twenty-five kilometers! And it's a city terrain filled with buildings!
Such a long distance can only be made by the Warrior Tier! Even Level 9 Mortals would struggle!
But seeing the Dark Night Monarch about to engage the Corpse King, now is the best time for gaining contributions, a step too late, and they might miss out on the billion-valued [Positioning Anchor Point]!
"If those support professions die, the Corpse King's power will unseal too!" Zhang Qingshan still tried to persuade.
Yet, no one cared, for everyone knew clearly in their hearts that those support professions are low-level, and even if they die, they wouldn't add much to the points!
While going back to save them, if too late or accidentally swept into the Sea of Blood, it's a sure death!
"Everyone, stay with me, follow my command!" Lin Wanyue called out, rushing towards the top of the tower without hesitation.
With him leading, a large number of Awakened immediately flocked towards the central tower.
"Damn it!" Zhang Qingshan cursed, glanced at his companions around him, hesitated a bit, and finally said nothing as he turned to rush back to the outpost alone.
Chu Qin naturally followed closely, and after some inner struggle, more than half also gritted their teeth and followed!
For a moment, the Awakened divided into two very different groups.
Ye Junlin stood in the middle, a bit at a loss.
"Boss, what should we do?" Wei Shan asked anxiously behind him.
His face full of urgency: "Whatever we do, we must decide quickly, or we won't save them, and we'll lose the anchor point too!"
"I....." A look of panic appeared in Ye Junlin's eyes; he lost the usual dominance of a monarch, more like an ordinary person at a loss before a major decision.
And just then, a loud noise suddenly came from above everyone!
It was seen that the Dark Night Monarch had already reached the top of the high tower, the Demon Arm behind him blasted out, and the tremendous power smashed into the tower, even breaking the solid steel bars!
Ye Junlin gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Kill the Corpse King first! Once the Corpse King dies, the ritual will naturally stop!"
It seemed as if he found a reason to justify himself, then without further thought, his [Steel Witch's Wings] flapped hard, rushing towards the direction of the Dark Night Monarch! Others, as if relieved of their psychological burden, followed closely behind.
