The sudden system announcement threw the millions of players in the Wind Snow City into chaos.
"What's going on? Why is there suddenly a beast tide attacking the city?"
"I just reached level 50 and was about to enter the teleportation array to go to the level-two main city, and now you're telling me the teleportation array is forcibly closed? What the hell!"
"Everyone hurry and go defend against the beast tide! Don't let the main city fall. According to the rules of Divine Oracle, once the safe zone is breached, all of us will be punished!"
Amid the panic, players from all directions rushed toward the four gates, east, south, west, and north, to resist the beast tide.
At the same time, the Divine Nation Guild players gathered at the teleportation array in the Wind Snow City, who were unable to teleport to the level-two main city, Inferno City, due to the sudden closure, were also filled with surprise and confusion.
"How could it be such a coincidence? Nothing happened for so many days, and now suddenly there's a beast tide attacking the city at this exact moment?"
As soon as Divine Nation · Erlang Shen finished speaking, Divine Nation · Sun Wukong analyzed, "Monsters wouldn't attack a player safe zone for no reason. This must be someone doing it on purpose."
Divine Nation · Donghuang Taiyi said with a stern face, "Who the hell is so bored to pull something like this? What's the purpose? If I find out who did it, I'll kill him."
Divine Nation · Nuwa crossed her arms, looking anxious, "We have to break through the beast tide as soon as possible, restore the teleportation array, and head to the level-two main city. We can't delay any longer. Otherwise, not only is there a risk that Rulebound will be snatched away by other guilds, but our Divine Nation Guild will also lose more and more initiative."
"To solve the problem, we must deal with it at the source," Ling Xue's beautiful eyes darkened as she immediately gave the order, "Pass the command. All Divine Nation Guild members are to leave the city immediately, find the source of the beast tide, and cut it off."
"Yes!"
———
At the same time, in a gloomy mountain range north of the Wind Snow City.
Rustle! Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!
Countless level 50 ferocious beasts surged out of the mountains like a flood, charging straight toward the Wind Snow City.
So the beast tide attacking the city had originated from here.
And outside the mountain range, not far away, a group of high-level players with the prefix [Blood Dance] gathered together.
At the front was a Light Witch girl, dressed in a white robe, with stunning beauty.
Her ID was [Ruo Li].
"Young miss, under the name of the Wind and Snow City guard unit, we killed the Beast Emperor. Now we've successfully diverted the disaster and lured the beast tide toward the Wind Snow City."
"The teleportation array in the Wind Snow City is closed. The people from Divine Nation are trapped inside."
"But if we do this, and the Wind Snow City really gets breached, we'll also be punished. Hurting the enemy by a thousand while losing eight hundred ourselves, is it worth it?"
As several Blood Dance players beside her finished speaking, a firm look appeared in Ruo Li's clear eyes, "As long as we can hold them back, it's worth it."
As she spoke, Ruo Li sent a message through WeChat to her "little sister", ["I've already stalled Divine Nation. I'll try to hold them back for as long as possible. Next, it's up to you."]
Ding!
Not long after, Han Ruoxi replied, ["Got it, sis. I've already arrived at the Beast Race level-two main city, Inferno City. Most of our Blood Dance Guild's main force has also gathered here from various level-three main cities."]
["Don't worry. I'll definitely make Rulebound join our Blood Dance."]

[Beast Race Level-Two Main City, Inferno City]
As more and more players reached level 50, the number of players in the level-two main city was skyrocketing.
According to real-time system statistics, the total number of players in Inferno City had already exceeded one million.
Of course, it was also because the official advertisement had done such a good job.
Without exaggeration, most of the players in Inferno City had come because of Lin Mo.
Among the 129 level-two main cities in the Dragon Nation region, aside from Inferno City surpassing one million players, the others only averaged around two to three hundred thousand players at the moment.
Lin Mo and Ning Xi arrived at the Class Hall.
They each submitted their quests to their respective instructors.
[Ding~ Congratulations, you have completed the Soul Archer third advancement quest · Super God Arena. You have officially become a third advancement Soul Archer. Level cap increased to 80!]
[Ding~ Third advancement Soul Archer attribute growth increased: Physical Attack growth 1.8 → 2.5; Physical Defense growth 1.4 → 1.6; Magic Defense growth 1.2 → 1.5; HP growth 25 → 35; Mana growth 10 → 15!]
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
With the completion of the third advancement, all the experience Lin Mo had accumulated over the past few days was released at once, and three streaks of golden light fell in succession above his head.
His level instantly rose from 50 to 53.
This was mainly because before completing the class advancement, players could accumulate experience up to a cap of three levels.
Otherwise, after three days in Inferno City, with Lin Mo's pace, there was no way he would only be level 53.
But it didn't matter. Because even at this level, Lin Mo was still the number one on the level leaderboard in Inferno City.
After completing the advancement, Lin Mo opened his status panel and took a look:

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Looking at his attack stat, about to break into five digits, Lin Mo felt his blood surge.
When playing a game, what feels the best? Naturally, it's the impact of raw numbers.
He was very satisfied with his current stats.
But he also understood, "There's always someone better out there."
"The level-two main city is full of elites. If I want to hold onto the number one spot, I still need to become even stronger than I am now."
Lin Mo's goal and direction immediately became clear, "Right now, I only have one piece of Tier 5 equipment. The rest are all Tier 3 poison gear."
"So my next breakthrough point will be to fully upgrade to Tier 5 equipment."
Planning to enter the Hall of Yama after lunch, pass the third hall, and obtain the SS-grade magic scroll Incubation Clone, Lin Mo and Ning Xi logged off on the spot.
Not long after the two logged off, at the teleportation array in Inferno City—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A large expanse of white light descended.
A big group of players with the prefix [Chaotic World] appeared in the teleportation array.
At the front, sword-and-shield warrior Wang Junjie stood with his hands on his hips and let out a wild shout, "Damn it!"
"Grinding day and night! Three days and three nights without sleep, I've finally returned to my peak!"
"Didn't expect this, did you, Rulebound? I came all the way to Inferno City just for you!"
"Just wait, Rulebound! Once I find you, you're going to have a bad time!"
As he spoke, Wang Junjie gave an order to the Chaotic World players around him, "Brothers, go find Rulebound for me!"
"Yes, Brother Jie!"
As the Chaotic World players left the teleportation array, even the passing players nearby couldn't help but start discussing.
Passerby A: "This Wang Junjie is like an unkillable cockroach!"
Passerby B: "You know him, bro?"
Passerby A: "We came from the same level-three main city, Flowing Fire City! He's Rulebound's sworn enemy there. Got beaten half to death by him! Got killed back to level 0 twice and still hasn't learned his lesson, now he's even chased him all the way to Inferno City to get beaten again."
Passerby C: "Damn! How did he get back to level 50 so fast after dropping to 0?"
Passerby D: "Didn't you see how many people he's got under him? With that many people carrying one person, even a pig could fly!"
Passerby E: "Looking at how aggressive this Chaotic World group is, seems like Inferno City is about to be stirred into a storm of bloodshed."
