It is like the twelfth district of Zeguo.

The river drove straight into the thirteen districts near the coast, and by the time it entered the twelfth district, it had already submerged half of the relatively flat city.

In many places, even if they are not flooded by the inundation of seawater, the long-term water vapor and infiltrating seawater have caused muddy roads and wild vegetation growth.

"This area should be almost cleaned up, right?"

Hua Yu carried a giant broadsword that was one person tall and had an exaggerated shape, and stood on a hill formed by a broken building, looking at the scenery from far and near.

There are only a few buildings left in the Twelfth Quarter that can be kept intact, most of them either due to the massive influx of monsters that fell to the previous Desperate City, or these buildings have been soaked in seawater for a long time, collapsing and entangled in various vines and plants.

As far as the eye can see, it is lush and lush, and if it were not for some unconcealed traces of artificiality, it would be almost impossible to see that there were once human settlements that were once inhabited.

"It's about the same, and a defensive wall is being built behind it, so that there will be no time for the sea monster to enter along the river of backfilling."

Standing behind Hua Yu was the equally tall and burly Guan Xiong, a hideous black armor that occupied specks of dirt at this time, in this section of the urban area where the backflow river was relatively seriously eroded, basically everyone in their team cleaned up was clean.

Also, due to the relatively soft terrain, many places have formed swamps, and no mounts are used.

Large-scale monsters like rhinos, bears, cows, and titan giants can be stocked here, and the vegetation is luxuriant, but if you really fight, many terrains are still very unsuitable, and it is easy to fall into the mud at a critical moment.

"Then we'll go back later."

Hua Yu let out a long breath and turned to smile at the more than ten players of the hunting team who followed behind him, "I heard that Lao Li and they have improved the spell casting system a bit, I really want to see it." ”

"What? Still not giving up? Guan Xiong next to him glanced at Hua Yu and snorted coldly.

Although his strength is still inferior to Hua Yu now, as a cousin's brother, his taunting skills since childhood are naturally full.

"Why don't you give up?!" Hua Yu heard the tone of Guan Xiong's words, and immediately said with some unhappiness, "My strength is the strongest, Sun Shuai's bastard is pure luck, and he has made a mutated bloodline, otherwise how could he be ranked higher than me?" ”

"Luck is part of strength." Guan Xiong said lightly again, he was silent in front of others, but in front of his own brother, he was a poisonous tongue.

"Well, I won't tell you this." Hua Yu shook his head, "I'll study the spell system when I go back, and then learn a few skills, and then compete with Sun Shuai, anyway, his mutated death rage is much weaker than others in terms of magic perception, as long as my melee ability is combined with a few spells at a critical moment, I can always kill Sun Shuai and reach the top of the throne." ”

"Huh!" Guan Xiong chuckled, and didn't seem to have any special feelings for Hua Yu's resentment.

A few days ago, the City Lord's Mansion came up with the latest ranking of the top 100 comprehensive combat power of the whole server.

As soon as this ranking came out, it attracted considerable attention, and even the mage group and spell system that had just been discussed by players were instantly stolen from the limelight.

Now the total number of players in the entire City of Despair has reached about 55,000, and being able to rank among the top 100, top 10, or even the first position among these 50,000 people can be said to be quite interesting.

And the number one person is none other than Sun Shuai.

This veteran player of the Death Fury bloodline mutation has now almost reached the third level of transcendence, and for many ordinary players who have just entered this world, or have not yet awakened the transcendent seed, it is simply a mountain that cannot be climbed.

Many of the transcendent third-order monster players know how powerful and amazing it is, with a huge body that is more than ten meters and tens of meters long, a monster has a seizure, as long as he is given enough time, it will no longer be a problem to destroy the entire city.

And the fact that players can achieve such strength is really indescribably shocking, and at the same time, it also ignites the fighting spirit of more players.

Now around the entire City of Despair, those who level up and fight monsters are no longer limited to the City of Despair, and have also begun to move towards the Forest of Bones around the City of Despair and some areas beyond. Players in various construction projects are also working harder, just to fight for enough magic crystal coins and prestige, and exchange for various new potions, combat skills, perceptions, equipment, etc.

And the second place doesn't need to be asked, it is Hua Yu.

As one of the first few people to awaken the transcendent seed, he has experienced various battles in a row, and has maintained a strong enterprising spirit in the study of the transcendent system, Hua Yu is the strongest among the players.

It's just that there is a bug in Sun Shuai, and it has mutated into the wrath of death, which was probably the wrath of death in the middle of the second order, and as he gradually controls his body, he has now reached the level of the transcendent third order.

Fortunately, due to the mutation of the body, a large amount of magic power in the body is basically used to transform the strength of the body, forming the outer armor and spikes behind the defensive power, and in terms of the spell casting system, it is much weaker than most players.

This is also Hua Yu's desire to quickly master more spells that can be used in actual combat to enhance his combat effectiveness. In terms of the strength and strength of his body alone, he is definitely weaker than the Death Fury that Sun Shuai transformed, but with the application of magic power and the ability to cast spells, then it is entirely possible to have the upper hand in a head-on confrontation with Sun Shuai, and even win the opponent.

The application of magic power Since Liu Chuanfeng first showed the ability to trigger the Perception Flame, Hua Yu has been paying special attention to this information, and his progress has always been following Li Yuncheng and Qingjiaoyu, in order to be able to continuously enhance his own strength.

"Looking at your virtue, why don't you apply to the City Lord's Mansion to hold a player battle tournament, and then you win another championship?"

Guan Xiong looked at Hua Yu's reluctant look, and couldn't help but complain.

"Well, that's good, it's a good idea!" Hua Yu's eyes lit up suddenly when he heard this, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he felt, "When the demon tide is over, there should be such a well, how about a martial arts conference?" When I cultivate the magic and martial arts and kill Sun Shuai, then I will be the real first. ”

"Sigh ......" Guan Xiong couldn't help but pout his lips when he heard Hua Yu's serious consideration, "You really look like those villains who dream of being the best in the world!" ”

Hua Yu smiled, didn't argue, just said to himself, "No way, that's all I want." ”

"You can tell the difference between the two worlds." Hearing this, Guan Xiong's face became slightly solemn, "You also saw the meeting that day. ”

"I don't need to say that." Hua Yu waved his hand, although he has always regarded himself as a reckless man, he is actually not stupid in his heart, and some things still have to be distinguished.

In this world, he has the upper hand, and he is not too far from the transcendent third order, but in the real world, without the support of magic power, it is very difficult for him to enter the transcendent second order, unless...... Someday you can find an energy that can replace something like magic.

Relying only on the energy ingested by food, most players have reached the transcendent level at most, and then there is no powerful magic energy to replenish, and the body cannot be further transformed, and it is impossible to really transcend the laws and moral rules.

"Gone, gone."

Putting aside these messy things, Hua Yu regained his spirits and shouted loudly to the dozen or so players who followed behind him.

A group of players who were also covered with mud moved one after another, these people were the best among the players, Hua Yu and Guan Xiong were specially recruited from many players, and they were hunted and cleared with them.

Players come and go freely and are not fixed. The two of them are like the leaders of a gold group, recruiting all kinds of players for a long time, although the monsters that can pose a threat to them alone with the combat power of the two are relatively few at present, but one more person has more power.

Moreover, he often brings all kinds of transcendent first-order, and even occasionally some rookie players, Hua Yu does not refuse to come, and is willing to bring one, which makes Hua Yu's reputation among players quite good.

Just as the group began to leave from the vicinity of the mire of the Twelfth District, one foot deep and one shallow, suddenly, a terrible scream sounded above everyone's heads.

"That's a pterodactyl?" A player in the back raised his head and glanced at the sky, asking suspiciously.

"No, it's supposed to be a two-headed manta lion." Another player shouted.

In the City of Despair, there are not too many monsters that can have the ability to fly, and small flying monsters are quite rare, and I don't know if they have all mutated or become a meal for other monsters, and they will disappear directly.

The most common ones are pterosaurs and two-headed manta lions, as well as a few birds that resemble vultures, which are basically the targets of pterosaurs and two-headed manta lions. The other was the dragon that had briefly caught a glimpse over the City of Despair.

Since the last battle in the seventh district of the Desperate City, the Pterodactyl and the Two-Headed Manta Lion have not appeared in the sky over the Desperate City for quite some time, and the sudden appearance of one at this time is still quite surprising to players.

Hua Yu and Guan Xiong also followed everyone's gaze at this time and looked up at the sky in the north in the distance, and at first a two-headed manta lion was calling fiercely, the sound was like a roar and the neighing of some kind of bird.

"Why do I feel an inexplicable palpitation?"

Hua Yu looked at the two-headed manta lion flying by, and turned to look at Guan Xiong beside him.

"It doesn't feel right." Guan Xiong frowned slightly, and echoed inaudibly.

Both of them are transcendent second-order, the best among the players, and their five senses are far sharper than others.

A two-headed manta lion is almost no threat to the two of them, but after the appearance of this two-headed manta lion, the two of them were inexplicably alarmed, and for the two who had already experienced an unknown number of battles, they could immediately keenly feel the crisis hidden inside.

"Look! Over there! ”

At that moment, another voice rang out among the players.

Hua Yu and Guan Xiong followed the player's gaze, and suddenly saw a black cloud in the distance, which was sweeping in the direction of the City of Despair.

"Is this going to be a heavy rainstorm? This black cloud is moving so fast! ”

"Black clouds crush the city!"

Everyone watched as the black clouds that appeared on the distant skyline gradually expanded from a small black dot, and finally, as if they had the momentum to cover the sky, they shouted one after another.

"It's not a black cloud."

Hua Yu looked into the distance, his face changed suddenly, "That's a group of monsters organized by the two-headed manta lion and the pterodactyl. ”

"What!" When Guan Xiong heard Hua Yu's words, he was also taken aback, and then looked at the large black cloud swept by the black pressure in the distance, and shouted, "Monster attack, large-scale flying monster attack!" ”

"Shhh

Hua Yu suddenly took a light breath of cool air, raised his extremely thick arm, and a layer of fine goosebumps suddenly appeared on his arm, and suddenly turned his head and fell on Guan Xiong, saying, "I feel as if the magic energy in the air has become a little unstable. ”

"Magical energy is unstable?" Guan Xiong was slightly puzzled, and then suddenly his face became a little red, and then calmed down again, and it took more than ten seconds for him to recover, and hurriedly said, "It's unstable, just now I seem to suddenly feel the magic power wandering in the air drilling into my body, and then suddenly disappear again." ”

After entering the Transcendent Second Order, both of them were very sensitive to magical energy and elemental sensing.

After seeing a large number of flying monsters appear in the distance, I had some bad premonitions.

At this time, the two suddenly discovered the clue from the magic energy induction.

The magical energy in the air was no longer as peaceful as before, but instead became extremely strange, as if it had a life force, constantly flowing and circling.

This kind of change is almost invisible to the naked eye, but it can be clearly perceived by two transcendent second-order players. Even the flow of magical energy around them could be felt extremely clearly. It is as if the water flow of intangible matter is constantly washing and flowing around us.

Soon, it was not only Hua Yu and Guan Xiong who were present, but also other players who had awakened the Transcendent First Order also felt the strangeness in the air.

The magic energy that everyone seemed to be unable to perceive clearly in the past has become three-dimensional at this moment.

"It's ...... What's going on? Some players shouted.

"What the hell is going on?" The other players also shouted, and their eyes fell on Hua Yu and Guan Xiong.

"! This...... Isn't this a demon tide erupting?! Hua Yu spat at the mouth, and his face became extremely strange.

In terms of time, the outbreak of the magic tide should be in the recent past, but players have not found anything unusual in it, and although they have been preparing, they don't seem to be fully vigilant in their mentality.

After all, in the entire player base, except for a small number of players who have already transcended the first order or have strong insight, many people still have doubts about the reality of this world.

Everyone is still enjoying the game and not taking this impending crisis to heart.

Including Hua Yu and Guan Xiong, although they have to know and know much more than other players, and the two are also very concerned about the magic tide, but in the final analysis, they still lack the sense of oppression in the face of life and death.

"Roar!"

At this moment, a roar like the thunder of a bell came from afar.

There was a furious emotion in the voice, which had never been heard before, and the mere sound that was so far away that it came from nowhere, made people feel chilled.
