As the Octopus people and knights lying on the ground were gradually revived, the construction of the outpost began to speed up. Of course, the Octopus people started to assemble the machines anxiously. At present, the news that they had received was not bad. There were no problems with the boxes of equipment, so they just had to wait for the assembly.
After the Paladins woke up, they started to light up the lights. They lit up the surrounding area as much as possible to ensure that they had a better vision. Previously, it was mentioned that the Illuminate skill did not consume a lot of mana. Thus, the Paladins used it casually and did not waste much energy.
The construction was the same as expected. It would take about four to five hours. Li Huailin estimated that it would take about two o 'clock in the afternoon to complete it. However, Li Huailin had expected that things wouldn't be so boring at the start. After all, this was the Darkness Continent that was fraught with dangers. Things would definitely come and attack them while they were building the campsite, and Li Huailin could use them to kill time. However, the actual situation wasn't like that.
After waiting for about an hour, Li Huailin did not see a single monster that came to cause trouble. This gave Li Huailin a headache. Now, the surroundings of the camp were all lit up. This kind of brightness should be very obvious in this pitch-black place. In theory, it was impossible not to be discovered. According to the theory of the Dark Forest, shouldn't there be many people coming to attack him? How could there not be any? Although it was a good thing that there were no monsters, Li Huailin was a little bored.
"Could this be a monster free zone?" Li Huailin asked after thinking for a while.
"Look at the surrounding terrain. It's flat. In theory, there should be no monsters here," the Jade Emperor said. "So, there's only one explanation."
"Huh? What is it? "Li Huailin asked.
"That is … The creatures here are more afraid of light than we thought," the Jade Emperor said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned at first. Then, he suddenly understood what the Jade Emperor meant. Yes, when they fought the final BOSS, they realized that the other party was a little afraid of light. That BOSS was someone who had been to another continent. And this creature from the Darkness Continent might have never seen the light ever since he was born. Therefore, he had no idea what this thing was. Of course, all creatures were filled with fear towards unknown things, but at the same time, they were also filled with curiosity. So … it wasn't that there weren't any monsters around, but these monsters were all probing. They also wanted to know what this glowing thing was and whether it would harm them.
"Summoning you is really smart sometimes." Li Huailin nodded.
"Huh?" The Summoning Jade Emperor was taken aback. It was obvious that she hadn't thought about it that much.
As they were talking, a figure jumped in. Li Huailin turned his head and saw that it was the Martial Saint who had gone out to investigate.
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of creatures in that direction. I can't see clearly what they are, but judging from their cries, they should be wild beasts. Moreover, they are very big," the Saint-tier warrior reported to Li Huailin. "Should we attack first?"
"No, wait for the enemy to enter our illumination range and attack." Li Huailin immediately said, "We just need to let them know that there is danger in this place that will light up."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Saint-tier warrior immediately understood what Li Huailin meant. He nodded and retreated.
Li Huailin looked at the Jade Emperor, who was still a little confused. He said, "Do you know how to train a dog? If it does something wrong, give it a stick. If it does something good, give it a piece of meat. That's what we need to do now. "
"Yes." The Jade Emperor nodded.
As expected, after a while, the creatures that were curious about the light started to slowly approach the glowing area. They had never seen such a thing before. Of course, Li Huailin and the others could not see what was going on. However, they could clearly hear a low whining sound coming towards them.
With a swoosh, a black thing suddenly jumped out in front of Li Huailin. Li Huailin looked up and saw that it was something that looked like a centaur. However, its body was covered with long hair. Its upper body was humanoid, and there were two long teeth sticking out of its neck. They were very long, like two sharp knives in front of its body.
The creature's entire body was black, and there seemed to be some black mud on its body. Looking at its head, it had a huge nose like that of a pig. It seemed like its sense of smell was very developed. It seemed like it used its sense of smell to find its prey. On the other hand, the eyes were pitifully small. Li Huailin almost thought that the opponent's eyes had devolved. However, it turned out that the two dots on the opponent's nose were actually his eyes. What proved this was that the opponent had no intention of attacking Li Huailin and the others at all. Instead, he lay on the ground and rolled around.
"Ugh …" Li Huailin really didn't expect such a situation. After thinking about it, it made sense. People who had been buried underground for a few days shouldn't be able to directly look at the sunlight. Otherwise, their eyes would be blinded. This was the same situation. Although the living creatures of the Darkness Continent had eyes, they were only eyes that had adapted to the super dark environment. Encountering such a radiance at the level of Light Illumination would definitely blind their dog eyes.
"Throw it out." Li Huailin waved his hand speechlessly and said to the Saint-level creature at the side. The Saint-level creature at the side also sighed. Then, with a kick, the centaur-like creature was kicked back to where it came from. Of course, this also caused a series of exclamations.
"This guy's body is so hard." Yes, this wasn't an ordinary flying kick. This was a kick from a Saint-level creature. Ordinary creatures wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack. Although the Saint-level creature hadn't used his full strength, the fact that the centaur-like creature hadn't been crushed proved that the centaur-like creature was very strong.
Even without the Saint-level creature's explanation, Li Huailin had also seen the centaur-like creature. The centaur-like creature was actually Level 90. Li Huailin didn't know if all the monsters in the Darkness Continent were this powerful, or if only the centaur-like creature was this strong. If all the centaur-like creatures were this strong, it wouldn't be easy for players above Level 80 to survive here.
"Roar … Roar … Roar …" As Shi Feng was lost in thought, several roars suddenly appeared around him. Most of the centaur-like creatures in the area let out warning cries, probably because they saw their companions being attacked. However, they didn't attack immediately. It seemed that they were still afraid of the light.
However, this fear was probably only temporary. If they were truly afraid of the light, the centaur-like creatures would definitely flee. However, based on the roars, it was obvious that the centaur-like creatures had been lingering nearby. Moreover, their numbers seemed to be increasing.
"Your Majesty, this isn't good." The Paladin Captain, Moketes, walked up to Li Huailin and said, "With so many centaur-like creatures, it will be troublesome to deal with them."
Of course, the trouble here was mainly the trouble of protecting important instruments in a chaotic battle. After experiencing the previous incident, the Paladin Captain naturally knew what skills Li Huailin had that could pull them back from the brink of death. Moreover, as a Paladin of the Church of Light, Moketes had a lot of faith. He wasn't afraid of death.
"Your Majesty, should we make the first move?" That's right, she was the only Warlock Saint among the five Saint-tier combatants. She could use large-scale magic attacks to deal with a large number of Centaurs at once. She felt that she could scare these Centaurs away with just a few of her spells.
"Hmm …" Li Huailin pondered for a moment. He didn't know the centaur-like creatures' personalities. Would they retreat after a few large-scale spells?
Just as Li Huailin was in a dilemma, a long cry came from afar. The centaur-like creatures that were roaring suddenly quietened down.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. Of course, he couldn't see anything. He was surrounded by black fog. He was just looking in the direction of the sound out of habit.
"Your Majesty, this sound is a little familiar," the Paladin Captain, Moketes, suddenly said.
"Hmm? What is it? "asked Li Huailin.
"But I can't remember …" Moketes scratched his head.
"You …" Just as Li Huailin was about to curse, there was a sudden commotion. Li Huailin seemed to have heard the centaur-like creatures in the black fog suddenly become chaotic and constantly let out all kinds of chaotic cries.
"What's wrong?" asked Li Huailin.
"Your Majesty, it seems like they are preparing to leave," replied a Saint-tier player.
"Leave?" Li Huailin stared blankly for a moment, but from the sounds, it seemed to be the case. The Centaurs quickly began to move, but they were running in all directions. The chaotic footsteps continued to get further and further away, and the cries of the Centaurs gradually became softer.
"It seems like something powerful is coming," said Saijit. "These centaur-like creatures know that they can't defeat that thing, so they chose to retreat."
"I have a bad feeling," Knight Captain, Moketes, said.
Just as they were speaking, the surrounding wind suddenly became stronger. Everyone could feel a strong wind blowing around them. At this time, those with a little bit of experience knew that something huge was flying in the sky. Moreover, it had already flown above their heads, but they couldn't see it yet. Although the wind was strong, because of the black fog everywhere, it couldn't be blown away no matter how hard it blew.
"This feeling … Is it a Dragon?" Suddenly, Saijit said.
"Right, it's the sound of a Dragon." Moketes, who was beside him, also remembered and immediately shouted.
"Dragon? There are Dragons on this continent? "Li Huailin was also stunned. At this moment, a loud "boom" suddenly sounded in the black fog not far from Li Huailin. Although he couldn't see it, Li Huailin felt as if a pair of huge dragon eyes were staring at them.
