When I stepped into the barren grassland, it was a rainy day. Although the rain was not too heavy and did not cause much trouble to the adventurers, in order to avoid getting sick or something, everyone decided to stay for a while and avoid the rain before leaving.

Finding a small grove - very small, no more than five meters high - they pitched their tents into the woods.

The outside of the tent is naturally treated with rainproof, and the general rain will not affect the inside of the tent.

A group of people were playing cards in one of the largest tents - poker was now one of the favorite pastimes. Ji Ran was even thinking about whether to bring out the biggest opponent of the playing cards, mahjong system. But if you think about it carefully, you should also popularize the concepts of capital numbers in Chinese characters and whitening in the east, west, north, south, and middle......

It's too much trouble. Anyway, the way to play poker is ever-changing, so let's play this for the time being.

Anyway, the West has been playing this thing for so many years, and there is no mahjong, isn't it also here?

It's raining a lot outside, and it's still a little cold in early spring—well, it's not early spring, but it's still a long way from summer—but inside the tent, it's still warm.

There was no need to light any flames to keep warm, and the body temperature emitted by so many people gathered together was enough to make the temperature inside the tent rise.

This tent is very large, covering an area of twenty or thirty square meters - this is also Ji Ran's brain-opening work, but I didn't expect it to be of great use.

Not everyone was playing cards, Rice, Beck Ryan and Ji Ran were playing over there. And three women. It's all about doing their own thing.

Alice's little apple, which had turned into a black cat, was lying on her shoulder, and it seemed that Alice liked the image of the little apple very much, was in front of him. watched Ji Ran play with great interest. At least for now, Ji Ran's skills are relatively good among the others - but they can't be compared to Alice at all.

And Alice is definitely at the level of the god - so she lost interest after playing for a while. A game that only wins and doesn't lose can also be boring. But the strange thing is that she watched Ji Ran play cards in the back with relish.

Lydia practices magic in one of the corners of the tent. She had also obtained Ji Ran's Breathing Meditation Method, which had greatly enhanced her magic - a proven auxiliary technique that would work on almost any magician. Coupled with Lydia's elemental resonance, this little girl's strength now surpasses that of ordinary silver mid-level...... And her level has risen very quickly. Judging from Ji Ran's eyes, her current level had reached level forty-four—which was already quite terrifying for a person who had just been promoted to the Silver Rank for two months.

I'm afraid it won't be long before she can reach the Silver Intermediate Rank.

Speaking of which, the strength of these people around Ji Ran has improved very rapidly - even far beyond the scope that normal people can understand. Even Beck is now faintly at the level of hitting the silver level.

Ji Ran had already decided that after going some distance and finding a suitable location, he would promote Baker - Baker's attribute was fire. This one is easier to solve - a crater, or just think of it as creating a big guy. can meet the needs of Baker's advancement.

However, Ji Ran felt that it was better to have the fire element in nature. Artificially made, it always feels like it's not much worse - though from the point of view of the fire elemental gathering, it's all the same.

Probably because of the kind of arguments in the world that influenced him...... What is natural is good, and what is artificial is bad.

Not only the two of them, Erin's current strength is also growing steadily. Her level is also fifty-two, and although her level growth has slowed down since entering the Silver Intermediate Rank, it is definitely still better than the others - even among the Elven Ranger, her level up speed is unparalleled.

And because of the promotion of the partner, the situation of bringing himself to the promotion - among the elven rangers, it is also rare.

This qiē is doomed, Erin will definitely not be an ordinary elven ranger - at least not in the future.

Erin was now sitting in a corner of the tent, teasing Warro, an elven ranger and his fellow Warcraft were essential, after all, they were the closest companions in battle. The pet feed that Ji Ran gave to Erin was fed to Hua Luo by Erin after careful calculation, and from time to time he also rewarded Hua Luo with some high-quality feed as snacks - this was made by Ji Ran with some parts of high-level magical beasts with more abundant magic power.

The four people playing were elated, while the others were enjoying themselves. Coupled with the sound of rain outside, the inside of the tent was peaceful.

Rainy days are not suitable for going out, and of course, this is common knowledge for most adventurers. But there are also some adventurers who like to go out on rainy days to look for prey - some magical beasts with special habits only like to haunt rainy days.

But this kind of magical beast, the strength in the rainy day will naturally be greatly improved, and the difficulty of hunting will be greatly increased. However, if successful, the rewards are often substantial...... Of course, the price to pay is even greater.

Ordinary adventurers don't bother to do this kind of thing, and only some gifted adventurers specialize in this path. And the successful ones have much stronger harvests than ordinary adventurers.

Ji Ran and the others didn't have the idea of going out in the rain to try their luck...... It was made by professionals, and they can't play it yet.

But just because they don't look for things doesn't mean things don't come to them.

The rain outside was not light, and the sound of crackling on the tent filled my ears. But in this case, everyone still heard an unusual sound outside.

"Something very big seems to be running over......" Erin, who was sitting in the corner of the tent, suddenly straightened up.

At the same time, Alice turned her head in one direction - although she couldn't see through the tent, Alice still kept her eyes on it.

Ji Ran also put down the cards in his hand at the same time, and then walked towards the tent door.

"The sound is getting closer, and it seems to be running towards us."

The tent was in a small forest, but it would not be an obstacle to the large beasts...... Those monsters smashed into a tree. It's like stepping on a thatch.

Subsequently. Others also felt the shaking of the ground. It's still a long way off. The vibration of running can be affected here, which shows that the strength of the demonic beasts that have come over is definitely not weak - at least the size will not be small.

In this world, the size of the powerful Warcraft may not be large, but the strength of the Warcraft with a large size must not be weak.

Of course, as long as it's not a gold-level Warcraft or a huge Warcraft population, it's not a problem for everyone...... But if the tent is broken, it is not a pleasant thing. In the days to come, people will need tents to shelter from the wind and rain.

"It's weird...... The Demonic Beasts that ran over were in a hurry. And. It doesn't look like a monster yet - there seem to be more monsters in the back. It's really strange that so many demonic beasts are rushing towards this side at the same time on such a rainy day......"

Ji Ran said as he reached out and opened the door of the tent.

The cold wind blew in through the tent door—the spring rain was still very powerful. But Ji Ran didn't care, as soon as he lowered his head, he got out of the tent door.

Then, looking in the pouring rain, he came back again.

"Hurry up and clean up, I'm afraid we're in a beast tide."

Beast tide is a difficult phenomenon in this world to explain - in short, a large number of monsters for some reason. Whizzing through an area - the damage done in the process was enormous.

There are many causes of animal tides. Some of these animal tides have yet to be definitively explained. The only thing that is certain is the enormous destructive power - historically, more than one village, town, or even city has been attacked by animal tides. Villages and small towns often disappear from the map, and even cities can be difficult to fend off.

Naturally, there are more animal tides in the wild, but because they have little impact on humans, they don't receive much attention. But this time, the unlucky Ji Ran and others will inevitably be affected by this beast tide.

Everyone immediately cleaned up and slammed everything in the tent into the space objects or magic pockets. Then, everyone left the tent, and Ji Ran put the tent away.

Although the whole tent is still wet, it is clear that it can't be managed so much now.

In the distance, a black shadow is breaking through the rain curtain and rushing towards this side!

There are also huge creatures in the grasslands, such as ironclad rhinoceros, firemaned lions and other magical beasts. Of course, there are even more monsters that live in herds - striped wildebeests, giant hoofed elks and so on.

The level of these demonic beasts can reach five or six levels, and the strength of a single one is already quite not weak. And now, these monsters have actually appeared in groups!

Moreover, there was originally a relationship between hunting and being hunted among these magical beasts...... When we meet in peacetime, a bloody battle is inevitable. But this time, these demonic beasts all gathered together, and they didn't attack each other at all, just rushed towards each other!

It looked as if something was chasing them from behind......

"This ......," Rice's face changed.

“…… Could it be the Black Storm? Irene's face became solemn.

Unlike these two seasoned adventurers, Ji Ran didn't have much adventure experience - however, he had also heard about Black Storm.

The Black Storm is a unique sight to this barren prairie - it's not quite a sight, but it does look like a natural phenomenon. It's just that this black storm comes and goes without a trace, and if you look for it, you won't be able to find it. But when you don't care about it, you may show it up at some point.

Many Gold-tier powerhouses wanted to figure out what the Black Storm was all about, but they hadn't encountered a Black Storm for a long time after wandering around the barren grasslands. Once they left, the other adventurers would break out the sightings of the Black Storm - which made those Gold-Rank powerhouses even scold, was this Black Storm actually caused by someone?

No one knows. In this way, the black storm appeared from time to time in the barren grassland, and became one of the legends of all those who entered the barren grassland. But encountering this legend is definitely not a good thing.

Because, whether it is a monster or an adventurer who is swallowed by the black storm, none of them have reappeared!

Black Storm is like a demon that lives in the barren grassland, constantly devouring any living creature that can move in the barren grassland!

Fortunately, black storms do not appear very often, sometimes once every two or three months, and sometimes they are not visible for a year or two...... Moreover, it is not impossible to avoid the Black Storm, otherwise, there would not be so many sightings reported.

Seeing so many Warcraft wolves running away, the only thing that can be thought of is Black Storm.

"Get out of here! Caught up in the Black Storm, no one has been able to make it out yet! Les obviously knew the legend of the Black Storm, and immediately urged the others to leave the escape route of those demonic beasts. The Black Storm must be behind those monsters, chasing them very tightly - otherwise, these monsters would not have escaped so desperately!

The various demonic beasts that had been regarded as enemies now did not have time to look at each other, and only knew to run for their lives—obviously, these demonic beasts also knew that the Black Storm was equivalent to death to them!

Naturally, the crowd didn't want to challenge the Black Storm - after all, until now, no one had been able to say what the Black Storm was. Although there are no cases of the Golden Rank being involved in the disappearance of the Black Storm, the news of the Silver Rank disappearing in the Black Storm has never been stopped.

There is no need to risk your own life to challenge the authenticity of this legend.

A group of people immediately braved the pouring rain in the sky and rushed directly in the other direction. As long as you are far enough away from the black storm, it will not affect you!

Faintly, everyone could already see the black storm chasing behind those demonic beasts. As the name suggests, it was a huge, black tornado—like a monster standing up to the sky in the rain. Countless raindrops around were swept into the black storm, and from time to time, a rather small-looking black shadow swirled twice in the black storm and then disappeared - it should be the demonic beast that was caught in it.

Such a big momentum is definitely not something that adventurers can compete with...... At least not at the Golden Level, it is almost impossible to contend with.

Being involved in it, even if it is the peak of the silver level, it may not be able to resist for long!

A group of people fled quickly, but after all, not everyone would be as fast as Ji Ran. Everyone else was fine, only Lydia and Ryan were slower—they couldn't fly in this kind of weather, and Lydia's speed was naturally impossible. As for Ryan, his group of skeletons couldn't be used on this occasion......

The whirlwind of the black storm had already reached this side, and the rain curtain had tilted over, and the raindrops hit the body like hailstones.

If that's all there is to it, everyone can always leave before the Black Storm comes. However, for some unknown reason, the black storm suddenly changed direction.

Moreover, the direction after the change was the direction in which Ji Ran and the others fled. (To be continued......)
