Chapter 367: Vortices Appearing Worldwide

a swift and decisive blow, leaving no opportunity for the slaughtered to retaliate.Especially in terms of positioning, he created at least a three-meter gap between himself on the ground and the sky,...Leaving the range of An Yun City, Lu Kong rode his Moonlit Lion for almost a day. During that time, he also found a relatively safe area in the wilderness to go offline once.

The next day, Lu Kong came to a monster area above level 40.

Level 4 monster!

Even in the air, it is difficult to pass through a fourth-order monster region.

And that radiant holy trace is located at the rear of the fourth-tier monster area. Lu Kong is also unsure if there are even stronger monsters behind it.

Thus, Lu Kong thought it over and decided to wait until his strength was stronger before coming back.

After that, Lu Kong returned by land and air, taking more than two days to finally return to Dawu City.

While Lu Kong was away, the Dashxia Guild continued to operate as usual. Xia Yan and the girls were quickly leveling up by grinding monsters.

Although Land and Sky managed to set up two bases in An Yun City, the monsters at those bases were too low level.

Killing monsters of a higher level grants bonus experience, while killing monsters significantly lower than your own level results in an experience penalty.

Therefore, even after running the dungeon twice, Lu Kong's experience gain wasn't much.

Although I'm primarily focused on traveling, if we encounter monster groups along the way, whether on land or in the air, I'll always stop to take them down and gain some experience. So my level hasn't fallen behind either.

Back at Great Wu City, Lu Kong went straight to the City Lord's office and inquired about An Ke's latest news.

However, Yin Yuehan said that he has not received any other information.

It is estimated that it will take a few more days.

This makes Lu Kong a little regretful.

He thought about it for a moment, and decided to take a trip to Dàyuán City.

After all, as the main city, Da Yuan Cheng also has high-level and large-scale dungeon areas nearby.

It's just that no one has found it yet.

As a main city with a teleportation array connected to Dawu City, Lu Kong also publishes tasks through the Daxia Guild.

As long as someone can find a large-scale, high-level instance in the vast city, Lu Kong will give rewards.

Rewards personally given by Lu Kong naturally ignited a lot of players' enthusiasm.

Thus, many high-level players inside the Great Distant City began to search for all possible existing dungeons.

Even members of the Dahxia Guild came to Dàyuán City through teleportation arrays, starting their search for dungeons.

The levels of the members of the Dàxià Guild are very high, at least one or two levels higher than the average high-end players in An Yún City.

This resulted in them being able to search a wider area.

Well, in just a few days, we actually found an underground base belonging to the Pale Order.

After finishing the land and air clearance, he took the members of the Big Summer Guild to brush a wave of first-time access and got the rewards.

To Lu Kong's surprise, he actually obtained two skill books that were suitable for him this time.

One of them is a book on intermediate agile enhancement skills.

This could be used as a prerequisite, allowing land and air units to learn advanced Agile Enhancement skills.

Another one, is the final boss's loot.

The final boss of this pale sect was surprisingly not a necromancer, but a skeletal warrior.

As a boss leaning towards the warrior class, the dropped items naturally lean more towards the warrior profession.

This dropped skill book is a legendary skill book 《Soul Strike》.

【Soul Strike (Level 1)]}: Unleash a furious attack imbued with the power of death, dealing 1500% damage. It also ensnares the target with Soulbind, reducing all attributes by 5% for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 10 seconds.

Learning requirement: Second-tier warrior class, max level Heavy Strike, 6th level Warrior's Heart, 1800 points of strength.

As a legendary skill, Soul Strike is naturally extremely powerful.

In terms of damage bonus, level 1 offers a whopping 1500% increase, far surpassing even epic-level skills.

This growth effect is similar to a major earthquake.

However, because Soul Strike's cooldown is only 10 seconds, while Earthquake's is 15 seconds, Soul Strike's damage output is obviously greater than Earthquake's.

This is understandable, after all, a large earthquake strike is an AoE skill.

Apart from the damage, Soul Crush also possesses powerful negative effects.

Level 1 reduces the opponent's all attributes by 5%, and at max level, it reduces them by about 50%

Although it's only three seconds, it's already exaggerated.

It goes without saying that reducing one's overall attributes by 50% would significantly weaken their capabilities.

This skill, Lu Kong can learn now.

Not only that, but high-level Agile Enhancement was also learned by land and air.

During this period of time, the skills stones in the hands of Lu Kong have accumulated quite a bit.

Both skills have been leveled up to 8.

【Advanced Agility Enhancement (Level 8)] : Passive skill, increase agility by 1600 points, and additionally increase agility value by 16%.

【Soul Strike (Level 8)]**: Unleash a furious attack imbued with the power of death, dealing 5000% damage. The target will be afflicted by Soul Bind, having all attributes reduced by 40% for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 10 seconds.

With these two skills, Lu Kong's strength has increased significantly again.

Afterwards, a large number of players continued to search for clues about large dungeons, while Lu Kong also went to find monsters to level up.

…………

Great Xia.

Outside the city walls of Yánmíng, a small village in a second-tier city.

The originally azure sky suddenly darkened.

Dark clouds covered the nearby farmlands and houses. Many people looked up at the sky, their expressions filled with a mix of curiosity and confusion.

A few women who were sitting at the village entrance, shelling sunflower seeds and chatting, stood up.

"It was fine just a moment ago, how come it's suddenly dark"

"Such a large dark cloud, it's going to rain heavily! Hurry back and take your clothes in."

“……”

Several women want to walk home.

At that moment, a vortex appeared in the clouds.

From the twisted vortex, a colossal figure descends slowly.

It was a giant beast, over ten meters tall, covered in black scales.

The behemoth's body was extremely heavy, like a black meteor, falling from the sky onto a small hill outside the village.

Splash, splash...

The entire mountain was cracked by the behemoth's heavy body, and stones were flying everywhere.

Just then, the vortex in the sky dissipated as if it had never been there.

And the behemoth stretched its limbs, rearing its head and roaring.

"Roar!!!"

As the behemoth roared, the surrounding black mist grew denser, and shadowy figures gradually emerged from within it.

A horde of little demons burst from the black mist.

These little demons all had blood-red eyes, filled with a taste for blood.

They roared around the behemoth.

With a roar from the behemoth, all the little demons transformed into streaks of light, dispersing in all directions.

Meanwhile, across all continents and nations within the planet of Yuanxing.

One vortex after another appears in the air.

These whirlpools vanished as quickly as they appeared, plunging colossal beasts into the depths.

The behemoth unleashed hordes of imps, who began to wreak havoc across the nations.

…………

The Summer Palace.

Inside the palace, Emperor Xia was attending to his duties.

Since the demonic invasion, there have been many more reports about demons. Coupled with the regular work, Xia Huang's workload has increased considerably.

Every time he thinks about having to deal with a mountain of work when he wakes up, even the Xia Emperor sometimes feels a headache coming on.

He even wished he could retire early!

Unfortunately, that girl Yan'er refuses to take over no matter what she says.

Logically speaking, since Yan'er is free during the day when she plays games at night, it shouldn't be a problem for her to pick up a shift, right

Given the player's attributes, with Yan'er's current abilities, her intelligence is very high. Handling these matters would be absolutely effortless for her compared to him.

Oh...

The Summer Emperor glanced at the documents on his computer and desk, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Life is hard.

Just then, the room door was pushed open and Nangong Zhu, Wang Ye, and several other high-level officials hurried in.

The Summer Emperor frowned and looked at them, his expression grave. "What's the matter Why are you so flustered"

King Ye's face darkened as he said, "Your Majesty, demons have appeared all over the world!"

The Xia Huang's face changed, and he suddenly stood up.al female classmates who were staring at him with bright eyes at this moment, and occasionally asked some questions.This made Picard feel elated.Looking at Pickachu becoming the center of everyone's a...
