The five hundred Naga warriors and two thousand intelligent goblin mages were prepared to sacrifice themselves for the sake of that idea.
They would not be able to stop it, and they would not be able to stop it for long, but they would try their best to accumulate enough Creation Energy and the Power of Law before they failed. As long as they could do it once or twice more, it would be worth it even if they were immediately eliminated.
The mages continued to construct defensive circles in this small temporary fortress, stacking and reinforcing layer after layer.
By the time the black tide reached a height of dozens of meters and flooded into the floating island, they had already stacked more than twenty layers of circles on this multi-layered fortress that was less than a hundred meters in diameter. The originally invisible and transparent shield had turned into a thick layer of white light, and it was almost impossible to see what was inside.
There were two exits on this twenty-layered defensive circle. They could enter from here, and the enemies outside could also enter from here.
This was the exit he had purposely left behind. Aside from not knowing if there would be a chance to escape in the future, the main purpose was to give the enemy a place to enter and reduce the pressure on the other parts of the defensive circle.
By the time the twenty-third defensive circle was formed, the black tide was already less than five hundred meters away from the altar. Looking out from the circle, one could see countless bodies wriggling and twisting on the surface of the black tide that looked like a tsunami in the distance. It was as if there were countless monsters wriggling and twisting under a layer of viscous liquid.
Boom!
The black tide hit the shining defensive circle fiercely. Lin Xiao could clearly feel the defensive circle vibrating at the moment of impact.
However, the defensive circle created by the combined power of the mages was indeed powerful. The first round of impact did not even break through the first layer of the defensive circle.
Lin Xiao stood inside the fortress and looked up. Through the layers of defensive circles, he could see countless viscous spiritual bodies sticking tightly to the outermost layer of the defensive circle. An invisible force and the defensive circle were wearing each other down, and black smoke filled the air.
The mages had purposely built a long magic tunnel at the two exits of the defensive circle below the fortress. It was filled with all kinds of terrifying magic traps.
The evil spiritual bodies that poured out from the two tunnels were instantly shattered into black smoke as soon as they entered the tunnel. They were quickly incinerated by the magic flames, leaving behind only a little core that merged back into the black tide and disappeared.
Lin Xiao was not too surprised to see all this. He was not in a hurry either. If the cores were to fall to the ground now, he would not be able to pick them up.
There was no need to rush. He had to get through this hurdle first. As long as he could persevere until the end, there would definitely be plenty of opportunities.
He continuously buffed his subordinates with Protective Divine Shield, Attack Acceleration, and other strategic spells. With his Intelligence attribute and the bonus of 500% from his innate talent, his healing was extremely exaggerated. Even if his subordinates were injured to the point of being on the verge of death, he would be able to heal them easily.
There was a constant roar above his head. It was the battle between the Titan Giant and the evil spirit on the altar. Unfortunately, he was now inside the defensive enchantment and could not see what was happening outside. He could only guess.
He had a certain level of confidence in these Titan Giants. From the Titan Giant leader's words, it was clear that this battle had occurred more than once. If they could withstand it in the past, they would definitely be able to withstand it this time.
On the other hand, although it seemed that even the outermost layer of the defensive barrier hadn't been broken, he didn't think that it couldn't be broken. He also didn't have much confidence that it could last until the end.
But now, regardless of whether he had the confidence or not, he had to persevere until the end.
Fortunately, it was only his incarnation that had descended this time and not his real body. Otherwise, it would really be a trap.
In the days that followed, there was almost no end to the slaughter and torture.
He was in deep water here, and the Vientiane Ruins on the Hero's Continent was also surging.
As more and more players leveled up and gradually left the main cities of the major factions, more and more heroes appeared in the wild. In order to compete for resources, the competition became more and more intense. Almost every day, many players were eliminated.
The comprehensive strength rankings were all anonymous, but the top four had more than 5,000 combat power. Compared to the fifth to tenth place, who all had around 3,000 combat power, it could be said that they were on two different levels.
Many people were quite curious about who these people were and how they were so much stronger than the ones behind them.
Even Lin Xiao was quite curious. It wasn't surprising that there were experts who were on par with him, but it was rare for three of them to jump out at the same time. Moreover, he wasn't the first.
Although the rankings were all anonymous, everyone knew his own combat power points and naturally knew his ranking. He now had as many as 5,448 combat power points and was ranked second.
What surprised him the most was that the person in first place had as many as 5,894 combat power points, which was a lot higher than him.
He couldn't help but wonder if this was another player who had summoned a spawn like him.
If this person had summoned a spawn, then this person was very powerful.
One had to know that other than him, the highest level of a hero was only Level Four, and it hadn't been long since he had leveled up. According to the 10 million experience required to level up to Level Five, if there were no accidents, no one would be able to level up to a Level Five hero in a year.
Of course, being able to level up to a Level Five hero was actually a small matter. For the top powerhouses, the difference of one level didn't mean much. The key was the high-level treasures and high-level troops.
Only these could immediately increase one's strength. Although leveling up would allow one to command more troops, it was so difficult for everyone to level up. In a situation where everyone was at this level, having high-level treasures and high-level troops would naturally make one stronger.
As time passed, the one-year period was getting closer and closer. Most players began to become anxious, constantly exploring day and night in search of resources and points. Some people even began to kill other players with ulterior motives.
According to the change that occurred once every three months, the experience and points gained from eliminating other players would increase every time. This attracted many players to take the risk and hunt other players to quickly accumulate experience and points.
In a desolate valley, more than twenty cyclopes, each of them seven to eight meters tall, were rampaging through a sea of skeletons like tanks. Countless skeletons would shatter with a single stomp. With the cyclopes leading the charge and a large number of ogres, they were able to carve out a path of countless shattered bones in the sea of skeletons that filled the desolate valley.
In the sky, the overwhelming number of Thunderbirds rushed into the distance. There were densely packed Vampires and Ghosts. The Thunderbirds rushed in and fought with the Vampires and Ghosts. Death aura and lightning intertwined, and the battle was extremely fierce.
In the rear of the Undead side on the battlefield, an Undead hero sat on the back of a Nightmare Warhorse whose hooves were burning with black flames. On the side, there were several players who had united under his leadership.
On the other side of the Barbarians, Dongfang Piao Xue sat alone on a giant wolf with snow-white fur. Compared to the fully armed Barbarians, he only wore a white robe and looked very elegant. He did not seem to care about the battle in front of him. He only observed the battlefield from time to time and communicated with others through his contact list most of the time.
After the fifth quarter, in addition to the overall strength ranking being updated again, the communication function was also opened. All heroes who had met each other and accepted the application could add each other as friends.
Dongfang Piao Xue had already contacted a few of his classmates, including Li Xiushen and Shen Yuexin. At this time, he was chatting with a few of his classmates in the group chat.
The one-year period was almost over. He had also risen to level 4 and obtained more than 20 powerful Cyclops. This kind of troop class that could be used in both close combat and long-range combat was very powerful. In addition, he had spent a lot of effort to open a treasure and obtained the Thunderbird Barracks. Since then, he had soared to the sky. Now, he was ranked tenth with more than 3,400 combat power.
He was quite satisfied with this. After all, there were too many people. Not only were there players from the Huaxia Region in the ruins, but there were also elites from the other three major forces. It was quite impressive to be able to be ranked in the top ten.
His goal was very simple: to maintain the top ten and fight for the top five.
On the basis of maintaining the top ten, he would try his best to rank higher.
At this time, someone in the group chat asked:
"I heard that someone had seen Lin Xiao in the Saint Church. I don't know if he's still there."
Dongfang Piao Xue took a look and said:
"Before the ranking was anonymous, I seemed to have seen him in the top ten. With his strength, he definitely didn't stay in the Saint Church camp. In all likelihood, he had already entered the unknown area to explore. Now, who knows where he went."
At this time, Li Xiushen said:
"The one-year period is almost up. When the time is up, there will definitely be a big change in the ruins. It is estimated that the teleportation between different camps will be opened. There is a high probability that we will be forced to eliminate each other. We have to be careful. Should we find a place to gather and deal with it?"
Shen Yuexin was silent for a moment and said:
"It's a little too early to find a place to gather. Let's wait until the one-year period is up and see what will be updated at the end. How about that?"
"Okay!"
"Okay."
Several people agreed at the same time.
Withdrawing her consciousness, Dongfang Piao Xue twisted her neck and looked at the sea of skeletons in the distance. She smiled slightly and waved her hand.
In another forest, Shen Yuexin stood on the top of an ancient tree that was hundreds of meters tall and looked at the vast sea of forest. Behind her stood a beautiful silver pegasus with beautiful fur. The pegasus stood quietly behind her, occasionally looking at the dense army in the lush forest behind her.
Shen Yuexin was silent for a moment, sighed softly, and took out an exquisite map from her storage space. This was a treasure map with four big words written on it — Emerald Secret Realm.
On the floating island, Lin Xiao sat quietly on a stone chair and looked at the sky quietly.
Of the more than twenty layers of the defensive barrier, only a dozen layers were left. No matter how strong the defensive barrier was, it could not withstand the endless erosion.
In fact, it was already beyond his expectations that they could hold on for so long. After all, they did not even have a Legendary Master.
Outside the fortress, the endless evil spiritual bodies seemed to have no end. They attacked continuously for so long without stopping for a moment. Countless evil spiritual bodies died at the two entrances of the fortress every day. Most of the cores were inexplicably melted and disappeared, leaving only a small number behind.
However, they were all the worst cores. A hundred of them were needed to fuse into one unit of Creation Energy.
As a result, the efficiency of accumulating Creation Energy was extremely low. After a month, they had only accumulated about forty units.
