Beiqi, the Mansion of the Dead.
As the number of players entering the Naraka Realm increased, so did the strategies.
At this time, most of the players had a simple idea. They had to be the first to be the first to eat crabs.
Therefore, they set off decisively according to the strategy.
However, what they didn't know was that what greeted them was a tragic beginning.
Since most of the soul-devouring beasts distributed in the west of the second region of the Naraka Realm had never seen the players before, they were very curious the moment they saw them. They wanted to know if the souls of these creatures were tasty.
Therefore, the first batch of players who arrived at the second region of the Naraka Realm were miserable.
It was not a problem to cross this region and move forward, but they would definitely be swallowed by the soul-devouring beasts along the way. Then, they would be spat out after being identified as inferior food.
However, under the pioneering efforts of the first batch of players, the soul-devouring beasts gradually realized that the players were inedible. After that, they would no longer approach the players when they saw the same soul power fluctuation.
It could be said that the efforts of this batch of players had made the lives of the latecomers much more comfortable.
Relying on the abilities of the soul-devouring beasts, the players used the strategy learned from the strategy to lure the demonic apes into the territory of the soul-devouring beasts with the corpses of the corpse clan members.
All they had to do next was to wait and then pick up the materials from the demonic apes.
As the materials produced by the demonic apes increased day by day, the income of lifestyle professions such as blacksmiths also increased. Every day, lifestyle players would receive a large number of requests to forge equipment or special tools.
As more and more equipment above level 200 was produced, the overall strength of the players began to rise rapidly.
Everything was developing in a good direction.
This made Lu Wu, who sat behind the scenes and learned the knowledge of creation from Bei Li feel very gratified.
He always felt that the future was full of hope. As the Calamity Army gradually took shape, they would definitely be able to fight against the Heavenly Realm.
…
The Netherworld, the Devouring Sea.
An island formed by white bones was floating in the center of the sea. Looking down from above, one could see that this white bone island was actually built by the bones of a dead creature. It was obvious that this creature's body was huge when it was alive.
There were several ports around the island with many ships coming and going.
The interior of the island was very prosperous. There were many shops stocked with a large number of spiritual materials and treasures. People came and went to trade and it was very lively.
At this time, in the center of the island, inside a giant tower that was more than a hundred meters tall, countless figures in black robes gathered around a blue formation, holding a meeting.
"Elder Ying, you're in charge of this matter, explain it to everyone!"
At that moment, the woman standing at the head of the table suddenly turned her head to look at Elder Ying and said.
From the dim blue glow of the Array, it could be seen indistinctly that although the woman had the upper body of a human, the lower part of her body was that of a snake. At that moment, her eyes that were flashing with a scarlet glow stared straight at Elder Ying as she questioned him.
When Elder Ying heard that, he nodded and immediately opened his mouth to say.
"Regarding the Player Clan, I decided to investigate it as a precaution. After that, Elder Huo entrusted the Illusion Fish Clan to go to Beiqi to investigate. However, the problem now is that the Illusion Fish Clan has moved away from the Devouring Sea and they are heading towards Beiqi where the Player Clan is located. In other words, the Illusion Fish Clan has surrendered to the Player Clan!"
As he spoke, Elder Ying paused and swept his gaze across the people present before continuing.
"Although I don't know the reason, one thing is clear. The Illusion Fish Clan actually dared to take the risk of offending the Underworld Chamber of Commerce to surrender to the Player Clan. From the perspective of the Illusion Fish Clan, it is obvious that they think that the Player Clan is capable of contending against the Underworld Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, this time, I suggest that we continue to observe and investigate the Player Clan's background before taking action!"
"Elder Ying, forgive me for not agreeing with your suggestion this time. It is not the Underworld Chamber of Commerce's style to be cautious over and over again. It is not the first time that the Player Clan has robbed our merchant ships. If we continue to tolerate it, what would the other sea merchants under our protection think of us? Therefore, I feel that we must strike with lightning speed and annihilate the Player Clan! "at that moment, a burly man sitting opposite to Elder Ying suddenly spoke up.
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
…
After the man finished speaking, most of the people present in the meeting shouted in agreement. After that, everyone fell silent and turned to look at the woman standing at the head of the table.
The woman did not speak. The corners of her mouth slowly curled up, revealing a charming smile.
"Elder Ying, I actually have something that I'm very confused about. Can you answer it for me?"
Elder Ying was puzzled, but he still spoke decisively.
"Guild leader, please speak!"
"Actually, we have known each other for a very long time. But recently, you have been a little unfamiliar to me." As she spoke, the woman's scarlet eyes focused on Elder Ying.
"Why do you say that?"
"In my impression, you have always been a decisive person. It is precisely because of this that I established the War Chamber of Commerce and let you manage the various external affairs. And you have not been disappointed. You have always been able to handle the external affairs in the shortest time possible. Although I do not have a detailed understanding, I know that the rebellion on East Spring Island and the Sea of Storms incident … all ended under your swift and decisive suppression."
At this point, the woman took a deep look at Elder Ying and continued to speak.
"But only this time, your way of doing things has become very strange. It is completely different from before. If the words of caution came from the mouth of the Black Elder, I would think it is very normal. But this time, when the Black Elder said to take the initiative to attack, you advised us to be cautious. So I am very puzzled. I really want to know what your true thoughts are!"
"You suspect me!" Elder Ying's hoarse voice came from his mouth.
When the woman heard that, the black robe on the surface of her body fell off, revealing her enchanting snake body. Her lower body that was covered in red scales suddenly curled towards Elder Ying, but stopped abruptly at Elder Ying's forehead, and then slowly retracted.
"Why? I suspect that you have already taken action. We have worked together for so many years, and I trust you very much. But I trust you, and I hope that you can also trust me. Tell me the reason!"
At that moment, Elder Ying's heart was tense. He did not expect that this time, to clear the name of the Player Clan and the Sea King, would put himself in such a predicament.
His mind was working at full speed, and Elder Ying began to think of a way to deal with it.
At that moment, he also realized that what he was doing now was extremely different from the way he did things in the past.
Back then, in order to bring down the Underworld Merchant Guild, he had always been swift and decisive in dealing with the outside world. He would personally carry out all the actions that could lead to war against the outside world. However, in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Underworld Merchant Guild, his actions had always been like this.
This was also the reason why he was able to rise so quickly in the Underworld Merchant Guild. His decisiveness in killing had always been the label that others had for him.
However, this time, the people involved were unable to see clearly. Elder Ying completely did not consider whether his change was too great.
As he held a high position in the Underworld Merchant Guild and was the number one person under the President, no one had mentioned this to him. Now that the President had personally pointed it out, he had already realized that the situation was not good.
In the silence, everyone present was waiting for Elder Ying's answer.
After a moment, Elder Ying suddenly said,
"There's nothing much to explain. This is just my opinion after I carefully understood the situation of the Player Clan. Their appearance was too strange. In such a short period of time, they swept across the Empty Void and the Kuilong Ocean. They are definitely not the opponents that we encountered previously. So, I feel that we need to be cautious. However, if all of you have doubts, I have nothing to say!"
Hearing this, everyone was silent. They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the woman, waiting for her decision.
"Elder Ying, I'm not very satisfied with your answer!" The woman's eyes were glowing red, revealing a dangerous glint.
"This is my answer. If you're not satisfied, you'll give me the same answer!" Elder Ying suddenly said angrily.
Seeing that Elder Ying dared to speak to the President in such a manner, everyone present had a bad feeling.
However, to their surprise, the woman suddenly burst into laughter.
"This is the Elder Ying that I know. This is the temper that you should have. So, I'll give you a chance to prove your innocence. Bring along the ten major War Merchant Guilds that you control and destroy the Player Clan!"
Hearing that, Elder Ying had a bad feeling in his heart.
At this moment, he realized that the Player Clan was probably going to be destroyed.
Initially, he thought that the Player Clan might be able to support the Sea King's growth until the Sea King completely inherited the Shadow Legion.
However, the situation had changed too quickly, leaving him no time to plan his next step.
"Elder Ying, do you dare!" At this moment, the woman suddenly said.
"Why not? I've always been in charge of the external wars of the Devouring Underworld branch. This time, the war against the Player Clan will also be initiated by me!" Elder Ying bit the bullet and agreed immediately.
"Alright, I hereby congratulate Elder Ying on your victorious return!" The woman said with a smile.
"Congratulations on your victorious return, Elder Ying!" Hearing the President's words, everyone present immediately chimed in.
At this moment, Elder Ying snorted coldly and his figure slowly disappeared from the spot.
As he walked out of the giant tower and walked towards the shore, Elder Ying felt a sense of helplessness.
Destroying the Player Clan was not his wish, but at this moment, he knew that he had no choice but to do so.
However, before that, he felt that it was better to inform the Sea King in advance!
