An hour later.
Inside the teleportation array in Yicheng Base City.
A beam of light flashed.
Mo Xiao and Su Jin’er appeared directly in the array.
“Let’s go and take a look at the City Lord’s Residence first,” Su Jin’er said with a smile.
“Okay…”
Mo Xiao nodded and led Su Jin’er straight to the City Lord’s Residence.
Just at this moment, Su Jin’er suddenly stopped in her tracks.
A faint black flame flickered in her eyes as she looked towards the north of the city. “Huh? What is that?”
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Su Jin’er suddenly stop in her tracks, Mo Xiao turned around and followed Su Jin’er’s gaze to look into the distance. However, he did not see anything.
When Su Jin’er heard this, she glanced at Mo Xiao. Just as she was about to say something, she realized that there was no longer anything unusual in the direction of the north of the city.
It was as if she had been seeing things earlier. Su Jin’er stood there gaping.
Shaking her head, she said, “Never mind, it’s probably just my imagination. Let’s go to the City Lord’s Residence first, we can discuss the rest later.”
“Okay…”
Meanwhile, in a corner to the north of the city.
A scarlet vine carefully stretched out from under the stone.
Looking around, it heaved a sigh of relief like a human. “What powerful necromancer senses. Could there be a high-level necromancer here? Humans shouldn’t be able to change professions to such professions…”
The vine pondered for a while, then suddenly trembled and shrank downwards. In an instant, a ball of blood-red energy transformed into a sphere, flying out of the city walls and landing in the grassy area outside the city, disappearing from sight.
“Even though I don’t know what it is, I should leave myself an escape route, 1 hope I’m just being overly cautious.”
Ten minutes later, in the City Lord’s Residence.
Fang Chang stared solemnly at the panel in front of him. On the panel, a scene was currently playing.
In a forest, countless monsters were gathering in an orderly manner.
It could be said that all the monsters around Yicheng Base City were converging towards this place.
The levels of these monsters weren’t high, and sending out a mage with area-of-effect spells could wipe them all out in no time.
But the fact that these monsters were so obedient in gathering in this particular place signified that their nature wasn’t simple at all.
This made Fang Chang cautious about taking any hasty actions.
“How’s the situation?” Just then, Jiang Shan inquired as she entered the office.
Fang Chang’s expression was rather grim, “They’re gathering more and more, there are probably about a thousand monsters now, but their levels are really low.”
“Low levels? Can’t we just send someone to wipe them out?” Jiang Shan suggested without much consideration.
“Of course not!” Hearing this, Fang Chang immediately rejected Jiang Shan’s idea, “These are all basic wild monsters. Their levels might be low, and their combat abilities might be weak, but they all share one characteristic uncontrollability. Have you ever seen monsters from different leveling zones gather like this?”
“No…”
“Well, there you have it. How can you be sure what kind of monsters these are? What if their strength is overwhelming and they end up wiping out all our people?” Fang Chang retorted impatiently.
“And most importantly, these monsters are ordinary monsters on the map. Their characteristic is that they can infinitely respawn and appear constantly.
If their behavior patterns are really being altered, it means there will be an endless supply of monsters. This could turn into a war of attrition.”
“War of attrition? The monsters around the base city are quite trashy. Not to mention soldiers, even if we send out students, they can easily wipe them out. At most, it’s just an additional monster clearing mission each day.”
Jiang Shan evidently didn’t quite agree with Fang Chang’s viewpoint. “1 have to say, Fang Chang, are you getting scared?”
“Don’t you know who 1 am? Anyway, let’s first observe the situation. We’ll only take action if we encounter something we can’t handle.” Fang Chang glared at Jiang Shan and said.
“A thousand monsters have already gathered. Don’t you think we should intervene?” Just as Jiang Shan was proposing this, the office’s door suddenly swung open.
Mo Xiao’s voice sounded in their ears at the right time.
“Leave these monsters to me. I’ll deal with them.”
“Mo Xiao?”
Hearing Mo Xiao’s voice, Jiang Shan was delighted and hurriedly went to welcome him.
Fang Chang’s expression was slightly ugly.
“No, that place is too dangerous. You’re a student, and as the City Lord, 1 can’t let you go out and take risks.” Fang Chang immediately dismissed Mo Xiao’s idea without hesitation.
At this moment, Su Jin’er’s voice sounded, “City Lord, don’t worry. I’ll accompany Mo Xiao. With me around, nothing will go wrong.”
“Miss Su?!”
The moment he saw Su Jin’er, Jiang Shan instantly became excited.
After all, she was a true powerhouse!
She was known for excelling in group battles, siege warfare, and the like battles that suited her skills the most.
“That’s not good, right?” After Fang Chang saw Su Jin’er, he was about to say something.
Jiang Shan directly interrupted him.
“Don’t listen to this old fogey’s nonsense. Since Mo Xiao wants to go, would you please take her on this journey? If we can annihilate these monsters attacking the city in their infancy, that would be perfect!”
On the side, as Fang Chang observed the two people in front of him, his displeasure grew stronger and stronger. A familiar scarlet light began to flicker faintly in his eyes..
