Chapter 168: No Eggs Remain Unbroken Beneath a Collapsed Nest
Luo Chan said with determination in her voice, "Brothers and sisters of the Immortal Mansion."
"Reinforcements are on the way, we must hold on."
"Remember, behind you are your family, friends, and loved ones."
"They have just arrived in this world and have no ability to fight. If we let them face these monsters, they will become nothing but sacrifices."
"Now, all their hopes are pinned on us. If even we retreat, who will come to save them?"
"No matter what, we must hold out until the end."
"And I, Luo Chan, will fight alongside all of you until the very last moment!"
Everyone listened and their fighting spirit reignited.
"Goddess Luo Chan, we will advance and retreat with you!"
"That's right, as long as we live, the tower stands. I will live and die with the Immortal Mansion!"
Supported by hope, many Survivors were also stirred to battle intent.
"There's an Elite Monster over there, Hunter, quickly throw a spike trap!"
"Where's the Illusionist? Cast a Mind Induction on that Leader Monster and lure it into the Attack Range!"
"Those with more than 5 layers of Blood Curse, retreat to the back of the battle line and wait for Holy Profession Purification!"
"..."
The army of more than twenty thousand Survivors was also being commanded in an orderly manner.
Although it was tough, they managed to barely hold on.
On the other side, the leaders of Kunlun, Boundless, and the Divine Hall, Chen Dali, were also resisting with difficulty.
Everyone gritted their teeth.
Because of Zhou Huang's words, hope was reignited within them.
At this moment, as long as it wasn't the last moment.
They would never give up!
...
Compared to the struggles of these people,
the number of monsters Han Xing faced, although the greatest among all of Blue Star's humanity,
he still found it relatively easy.
So far, the five of them hadn't even made a move.
All the invading monsters were completely wiped out by those Lord's Buildings and the wolf cavalry army below.
At this moment, Han Xing, relying solely on the Defense Tower, had already killed more than four million monsters.
And he had already harvested five million Battle Merits!
Although still in a State of war, Han Xing was now so excited he nearly trembled all over!
What is the concept of five million Battle Merits?
This means he can exchange all five Bright Moon Treasure Chests in the Battle Merit Store!
To know, within the Bright Moon Treasure Chests, there's a high probability of getting Orange Equipment!
Even if his luck was a bit off and he didn't get Orange Equipment, the other items in the chest were equally amazing.
Han Xing thought excitedly, "Blood Tide Monsters, keep besieging me, don't stop!"
"Better yet, let me directly save up to one hundred million Battle Merits to exchange for that Sun Treasure Chest!"
He was already anticipating the moment he accumulated one hundred million Battle Merits in his heart!
By then, he might possess the first Divine Artifact Level Equipment among all humanity!
Moreover, that time wouldn't be too far off.
At this thought, Han Xing couldn't feel more excited!
It seemed as if the Blood Tide Monsters heard Han Xing's plea, they cooperated well.
No matter how many were blasted to death, they kept charging forward fearlessly.
It seemed they wouldn't stop until they had taken down Han Xing's territory!
...
At this moment, still over a hundred kilometers away from Han Xing's Xingyu City.
More and more Survivors, having resolved the monsters near the Sky Islands, were heading there to support.
System prompts showed they had reached a new area and automatically joined the nearby regional channel.
However.
When these Survivors on the dozens of Sky Islands saw the vast sea of blood from afar, they couldn't help but turn pale.
At that moment, they all stopped in their tracks.
A Survivor said in the chat channel with a trembling voice, "I... damn!"
"This... this... this is fucking unbelievable, right?"
"So many monsters attacking a Sky Island, even if there were ten thousand Celestial Soldiers and Generals attacking the Monkey King, it wouldn't be like this!"
Other Survivors echoed in agreement, "It's terrifying, there must be at least tens of millions of monsters here, right?"
"Inside, how many Leaders and Elite Monsters must be hiding!"
After this reminder, everyone recalled something, and their faces turned pale.
To know, the more monsters there were, the more Elite Monsters and Leaders would be among them. This was a pattern Survivors discovered in recent days.
Sometimes, you might even see one or two Lord-level Creatures within a Blood Tide!
However, what they did not know was, within, the hidden Lord-level Creatures, not just a couple, but an astonishing dozen!
Among them, there was also an even more terrifying Dominator Level creature!
At this point, even the Survivors who were preparing for rescue felt some fear.
Swallowing hard, everyone said, "It's exaggerated, which team would survive this?"
"With our numbers, even if we all went together, it wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps between the monster's teeth, right?"
This reminder startled everyone.
They knew that given the weight of these Sky Islands, rushing for rescue
was akin to throwing a few stones into the sea, causing no waves.
Moreover, there was a high probability of being engulfed by the monsters within.
Compared to their initial enthusiasm, now, there was a flicker of retreat in the Survivors' hearts.
After a moment of silence.
At this moment, a survivor named Donglian Fire said, "Everyone, our Fire Demon Corps is retreating first. There are too many monsters, and we just can't help."
"We don't want to lose our lives here."
After speaking, Donglian Fire controlled his vast territory on the Sky Island and turned away.
The local channel suddenly fell silent.
The number of these tens of millions of monsters felt like a cold bucket of water poured over their enthusiasm.
What Donglian Fire said was indeed reasonable.
It's not that they didn't want to help, but they simply didn't have the ability.
Upon thinking that, more and more Sky Islands sighed in their hearts and also chose to leave.
Seeing the number of Sky Islands nearby decreasing,
At this time, a survivor named Chujiang Tiankuo shouted loudly in the local channel, "Why are you running? All of you damn well come back!"
"You can run for a moment, but can you run for a lifetime?"
His tone contained some anger.
However, those survivors ignored him and quickly controlled their territories to leave.
Chujiang Tiankuo stood there frozen, yet he still wanted one last struggle.
"Damn it, everyone, don't leave!"
"Stay here a bit longer. If more people come, there'd be hope to rescue those inside."
In the chat channel, the survivors who left said:
"Director Chu, it's not that we're indifferent, it's just there's no chance of rescue, we'd just be sending ourselves to death!"
"You saw it too, with a horde of this size, even calling Zhou Huang wouldn't help."
"I suggest you leave quickly too, or it'll be big trouble if you get targeted by those monsters!"
After they spoke.
They didn't look back, turning and quickly leaving.
At this point, there were only a dozen or so Sky Islands left in the vicinity.
The survivors on them looked at each other in dismay.
On an enormous Sky Island with a territory exceeding 200,000 square meters,
a man around the age of twenty-seven or eight stood on his territory, his face flushed with anger.
He was the director of Cloud Water Pavilion, Chujiang Tiankuo.
"Damn, damn it!"
"A bunch of cowards, running without even fighting!" Chujiang Tiankuo cursed in anger.
Though he cursed, Chujiang Tiankuo knew it wasn't really their fault.
These monsters' numbers were simply too despairing.
At this time, one of his team members cautiously asked, "Director, those guys are almost all gone. What should we do now?"
"Shouldn't we also run?"
"After all, they have a point. It's not that we're indifferent, there's just no hope for rescue."
After hearing this, the anger on Chujiang Tiankuo's face gradually faded, turning into a solemn expression.
Now, with fewer and fewer Sky Islands remaining, it meant more people were leaving.
He seemed to be considering whether to continue persisting, waiting for more people to rescue the survivors inside.
It's just that the number of monsters was too overwhelming.
Even if he had the will, he didn't have the ability.
After a moment, he seemed to have made a difficult decision.
With a tremble in his voice, Chujiang Tiankuo said, "Damn, these monsters are really exaggerated."
Everyone thought Chujiang Tiankuo had finally changed his mind and was ready to leave.
Yet they heard him gritting his teeth, saying,
"Today, I refuse to believe it. I'm not leaving!"
At this moment, those survivors asked in confusion, "Director?"
Chujiang Tiankuo took a deep breath.
"Everyone, go to the chat channel and call for people, then upload the video from here."
"Tell them there're damn tens of millions of Blood Tide monsters here!"
"If they don't come, then let everyone inside die and let these monsters swallow them all up!"
"A bunch of idiots, thinking that running now will save them? I want to see which team has the guts to survive under such a terrifying horde!"
The team members, upon hearing this, instantly became solemn.
But they knew their director was this kind of person.
Once he made up his mind, it was hard to persuade him otherwise.
Just as he said before.
You can run for a moment, but can you run for a lifetime?
After the people inside die, who would be next?
The overturned nest leaves no unbroken eggs.
The team members exchanged glances, then nodded.
Then, they uploaded the shocking footage they had captured and called for help.
Seeing the Blood Tide monsters number beyond the tens of millions, even those large group leaders were dumbfounded.
"Oh my, what exactly are these tens of millions of monsters?"
"Does anyone know which team's guys are being besieged in there? Is it the 'Huayi Alliance'?"
However, the Huayi Alliance people immediately came out to clarify it wasn't them.
Everyone was puzzled.
At this moment, another survivor spoke up.
"Everyone, don't worry about who's inside, so many monsters, they must be exterminated!"
"As Director Chu said, even if we escape now, what about later?"
"If those inside can't hold on, it'll be our turn next!"
