A strange sound was heard coming from the sky above Lin Huang's head. Soon, a black crack formed in the air.
The crack looked like a ferocious black scar that had been torn open in the sky, and the scar continued to extend to both sides until it was dozens of kilometers long before it stopped expanding.
After the crack stopped expanding horizontally, it actually began to expand vertically in the direction of the top and bottom, revealing the pitch-black emptiness inside. However, the darkness did not last long. Soon, it turned into a gigantic black eye.
It looked like a God's eyeball that was looking down at the world from the sky.
"The Virtual Eye is open …"
Although he had never seen what a Virtual Eye looked like, he knew that it was activated as soon as he saw what was happening in the sky.
Since the first Virtual Eye was opened more than 800 years ago, it had become a common occurrence in this world. It happened almost every day in different places.
However, some of them might happen outside the safe zone while some might happen inside the safe zone. Some of them happened in places with little people while some happened in places with high population density.
For instance, the Virtual Eye was opened less than 20 kilometers away from the foothold in Daxi City. It was a dangerous place for Daxi City.
Even for monsters that could travel on land, it would only take them about 10 minutes to travel 20 kilometers. If a large number of flying monsters were to appear, it would be a huge problem for the foothold.
However, as soon as the Virtual Eye appeared, the alarm in Daxi City went off and the foothold's protective shield was activated.
Of course, Lin Huang did not know that since he was outside the foothold. Now that the Virtual Eye was opened, it was too late for him to escape. He then used a Specific Transformation Card to transform into Spectre and hid in the tree.
As soon as the Virtual Eye was opened, a large number of monsters came out of it.
Lin Huang's mouth was half open as he looked at the spectacular scene in the sky.
Countless monsters seemed to be pulled by invisible parachutes as they slowly descended from the sky toward the ground. The entire sky seemed to be filled with a downpour of all kinds of monsters.
"There are so many silver-level and gold-level monsters …" Lin Huang frowned. "It's at least a nightmare-level monster horde, it could even be a disaster-level monster horde … Let's hope that there aren't many Transcendent monsters …"
The levels of the beast tide, from low to high, were Berserk, Nightmare, Calamity …
Most of the monsters that participated in the berserk-grade monster horde were iron-level and bronze-level. There were very few silver-level monsters and usually, there would not be any transcendents.
The nightmare-level monster horde consisted of a large number of silver-level monsters and even some gold-level monsters. Usually, there would be transcendent monsters as well.
As for the disaster-grade monster horde, the number of gold-level monsters that participated in the monster horde had increased and there was more than one Transcendent monster.
Judging from the number of gold-level monsters that were descending from the sky, Lin Huang could almost tell that it was a disaster-level monster horde. However, he was not sure how many Transcendent monsters there would be.
"Do you guys have to do this to me? I'll be able to leave through the dimensional relic in four days. Why are you guys messing with me now?!" Lin Huang was upset.
Even a grade-b foothold would have to put in a lot of effort to handle a disaster-level monster horde. It was almost impossible for a grade-c foothold like Daxi City to handle such a monster horde. Lin Huang could foresee that the entire Daxi City would be destroyed by the monsters in less than a day.
A grade-c foothold would usually be guarded by one transcendent monster while there would be at least three transcendent monsters in a disaster-level monster horde. Moreover, there were not many gold-level hunters in a grade-c foothold. The number of gold-level monsters that were descending from the sky was much lesser. It was a war without any suspense.
As soon as Daxi City was destroyed by the monsters, the dimensional relic would not be opened and Lin Huang would not be able to leave as planned.
Indeed, Lin Huang could use the Small Destruction Card to kill all the monsters that were below transcendent level. However, he could not stop a few transcendent monsters from attacking the city. He could not change the fate of Daxi City. Moreover, using the Small Destruction Card would only make the transcendent monsters want to kill him.
He had no choice but to wait and see.
At that moment, the residents of Daxi City were in chaos. Everyone wanted to go home and hide as soon as the Virtual Eye was activated.
With the physique of an ordinary person, it was impossible for them to fight the monsters. Moreover, they were naturally afraid of the monsters.
In fact, many hunters were afraid of the monsters before they killed them, let alone ordinary people. However, once the hunters were found to be afraid, they would be forced to undergo psychological training to overcome their fear.
The chaos was soon calmed down by the Purple Crow's staff and they were ordered to hide in the nearest building.
In just a few minutes, the streets of the foothold in Daxi City were cleared.
Most of the Purple Crow's staff went to the west gate of the foothold. Only a few of them went to the east gate just in case.
Fortunately, there were only two gates in the foothold, which prevented them from being separated further.
The guardian of Daxi City, Xie Yu, was an old man with white hair. He had chosen such a secluded place to guard the foothold because he was afraid that something bad would happen and he wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace. He did not expect that something like this would happen in less than two years.
He looked at the Virtual Eye worriedly. With his eyesight, he could clearly see the monsters coming out of the Virtual Eye. That was why he knew that it was a disaster-level monster horde. It was impossible for him to fight against a few transcendent monsters on his own.
"Should I fight or should I run?" Xie Yu hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind.
"Forget it, I don't have many years left anyway. If I run, I'll just have to live for a few more years and I'll have to bear the blame. It's better for me to die here! "
Xie Yu understood this point, and his figure suddenly soared into the sky, all the way to the west gate of the stronghold.
In an open-air restaurant, two men and a lady were sitting around a table, enjoying their drinks.
"The guardian of the Purple Crow is here. I thought the members of the Purple Crow organization would run away if they encountered such a situation. "It was the lady who spoke.
Her hair was dyed red with two braids. She was wearing a short denim skirt, revealing her long legs. Judging from the length of her legs, it was not hard to tell how tall she was. However, she was sitting, so it was impossible to tell how tall she was.
"The Purple Crow has its own rules too. If he runs away now, he'll be in deep trouble." The one who spoke was a young man wearing sunglasses. He wore an old-fashioned Chinese tunic suit and his hair was combed back.
"Boss, this is the Purple Crow's territory. We shouldn't interfere, right?" The red-haired lady asked a middle-aged man on the right.
"Although this is the Purple Crow's territory, the residents are innocent. This is a disaster-level Beast Tide. If we don't do anything about it, millions of residents here will die. Not a single one of them will survive, "the man in sunglasses immediately objected.
"But if we interfere, we'll be exposed, and this mission will fail. Liang Song, don't forget why we're here. "The red-haired lady turned her head and looked at the man in sunglasses.
"If this city is destroyed, we'll fail the mission too. We'll fail the mission as well. Of course, we have to save people. "Liang Song pushed his sunglasses up and said calmly.
"Alright, stop arguing. The safety of the residents comes first. Everything else is secondary. " The middle-aged man who had been quiet finally spoke. He then turned to the long-legged lady. "Zhou Qian, when we get back, copy the Hunter's Code of Conduct 100 times!"
"Boss, can you not be so heartless …"
"200 times!" The middle-aged man glared at her. She dared not speak anymore.
The middle-aged man had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked decent, but there was a three to four centimeters long scar on his left lip. It made his friendly face look ferocious.
"Leader, should we wait until the guardian is dead or should we attack now?" Liang Song asked.
"The Transcendent monster hasn't appeared yet. We're not in a hurry. Let's wait a little longer." The middle-aged man waved his hand.
Xie Yu arrived at the west gate. Before the monsters in the air had landed, he began to slaughter them.
A purple longsword appeared in his hand. As he pointed the longsword into the void, countless wind blades automatically condensed in mid-air and flew towards the monsters in the air.
Under the attack of the wind blades, the bodies of countless monsters were easily torn in half like they were made of paper.
Lin Huang could not help but exclaim when he saw that from afar.
"A sword skill that combines the Wind Element. The range of the attack is terrifying!"
Naturally, Lin Huang was not the only one who saw that. The three people at the open-air restaurant in the city saw it clearly too.
"The range of the attack is not bad. However, it's hard to compliment the single-target attack of this sword skill," Zhou Qian commented, pouting her lips.
"You're comparing your strengths to others' weaknesses. Of course, others are not as good as you. Liang Song began to undermine him again. "Why don't you say that his area-of-effect attack is much stronger than yours, and that he's more suitable to deal with the beast tide?"
"Liang Song, are you trying to pick a fight?" Zhou Qian glared at him.
"I'm just telling the truth." Liang Song looked serious.
"Alright, both of you, shut up. Keep quiet from now on. No one is allowed to speak before we join the battle! Whoever says another word will have to copy the Hunter's Rule 100 times. If you say another word, you'll have to copy it 200 times! "The two of them shut their mouths as soon as the middle-aged man said that.
Xie Yu had been killing the monsters in the air for more than an hour. Most of the monsters that came out of the Virtual Eye were killed by him in the air. He had no idea how many monsters he had killed in the past hour.
It was Lin Huang's first time witnessing the terrifying combat power of a transcendent at such a close distance. Xie Yu was like a tireless war machine.
However, the monsters that came out of the Virtual Eye slowed down all of a sudden.
Lin Huang could vaguely hear a strange roar coming from the Virtual Eye.
Soon, a giant scaly claw came out of the Virtual Eye. It was only a small part of the claw, but it was hundreds of meters long.
As the claw came out, the roar came from the back of the Virtual Eye.
