With a starting talent that's practically top-tier, even an old man can go against the heavens!

The deer's attribute panel pops up, allowing him to choose any item.

With sufficient magic attack and no consideration for intelligence, we should go straight for mana!

With a flash of blue light, the blue energy on the panel instantly surged to 7570111 points!

Now I don't have to worry about mana issues at all.

He then guided the little deer to inherit his bloodline, which immediately soared to over 100 million!

The inheritance effect is not fixed; you can change the inherited attributes when you are not in combat.

The deer inheriting his magic attack is actually not bad.

Based on a 1:5 ratio, it can provide more than 100 million base mana, and with other bonuses, it can easily reach tens of millions.

However, compared to the hundreds of millions of blood points, it seems to be not cost-effective.

Again!

All I have to do is keep the fawn alive and make it quack...

Just as the two finished making their choices, they suddenly heard a loud bang!

The deathly mist all around suddenly began to tremble! It flowed rapidly and erratically!

Chen Beixuan had a bad feeling, a sense that something bad was about to happen!

as predicted!

The next second, a notification popped up on the panel!

[Ding! The SS-rank hidden mission [A Shocking Conspiracy] has been interrupted. The calculation is underway based on the amount of destruction...]

[Ding! Settlement successful! You have received a reward of 15 experience points and 200 gold coins!]

Chen Beixuan glanced at it quickly; the rewards were all within his expectations.

After all, compared to tens of thousands of magic arrays, what he destroyed was just a drop in the ocean, and the progress was too slow.

He was more concerned about the reason for the mission interruption.

It is highly likely that the escaped soul of the Lord of Darkness activated the magic array ahead of time for some reason, choosing to forcibly devour the human world.

Even if he guessed the reason, he didn't have any good solutions.

For now, we can only wait and see.

at the same time.

Thousands of miles away at the edge of the Black Curtain, the tranquil curtain of darkness suddenly began to move!

Soldiers and civilians alike were terrified, and screams filled the air!

Someone hid in the room.

Some people stood there, stunned.

Most of them ran towards the outskirts of the city.

But their efforts were ultimately in vain; they had barely run a short distance when the darkness caught up with them and swallowed them up.

In just a few breaths!

The darkness then enveloped a number of border towns, including the town of Monte, and spread outwards at an extremely rapid pace!

At first, the residents of the swallowed-up town of Monte felt nothing unusual except for the darkness and were secretly relieved.

But gradually, some people began to feel their strength waning, and even their wounds failed to heal!

By the time a large number of soldiers guarding the city realized something was wrong...

What awaited them was a terrifying black creature that swept in like a tidal wave!

"Archers, shoot!"

"Everyone, attack!"

A barrage of arrows rained down, falling like raindrops into the swarm of insects, yet they caused no ripples!

The soldiers were horrified to discover that their attacks were completely ineffective against the dark creatures!

They could only watch helplessly as the swarm of insects climbed the city walls, tearing apart the bodies of those around them, scalding blood splattering on their faces, the soldiers staring wide-eyed in terror.

Next second,

The enormous black pincers rapidly magnified in his pupils!

puff!

Monte Town...

Occupied.

......

The City of Glory, in the wilderness.

The players who were leveling up by killing monsters stopped what they were doing and all looked at the black barrier in the distance with puzzled expressions.

"What's going on? Is it a new dungeon?"

"Nonsense, I didn't hear any server-wide announcement, so where did this new dungeon come from? I think it just triggered some kind of cutscene."

"Honestly, the oppressive feeling from this cover-up is so strong, it feels like it's getting closer and closer..."

"Damn! It's not just 'seems like,' it's getting closer and closer!"

"Uh...maybe we should run, something bad is about to happen!"

"What are you afraid of! You're a coward even when playing games, you're hopeless..."

"What if I lose a level? I worked so hard to level up. I need to go back to town first."

"No way, no way, there really are people who are chicken out at playing games!"

"Hey, ignore him, let's keep playing."

Some players realized something was wrong and started heading back to town.

But most players didn't care and continued to grind monsters, while some even activated their skills and rushed into the darkness to find out what was going on.

The dark side accepts all comers and devours them.

Upon entering, players will immediately receive a notification on the panel that their attack power and magic attack will be reduced by 1% per second, and healing will be disabled.

Just as they were scratching their heads in confusion, wondering whether this was a special instance or part of the storyline, the black swarm of insects surged in right behind them!

"Holy crap, a level 50 swarm of insects!!"

"Run!"

The players were terrified and all turned and ran.

Just kidding, they're not even level 40 yet, it's obvious they can't beat us.

Moreover, the quantity is so large!

Even though they fled immediately, they were still not as fast as the swarming insects that kept pushing forward, and were gradually caught up and devoured.

In the hazy mist, white lights flashed one after another!

All of it was returned to the spring.

Only the very first group of people successfully returned to the main city.

Above the City of Glory.

Raki stared solemnly at the approaching black curtain, clearly sensing the dark power contained within it.

Negative emotions reached their peak.

"Is this world finally going to end? Sigh, I knew it..."

"...With this kind of power of rules, I reckon even the other small towns would have fallen..."

"I don't know if the preparations I've made over the past ten years will hold up; it seems unlikely..."

As he spoke, Laki moved, drawing symbols in the air with his hands, as if preparing something.

As darkness drew closer, he exclaimed in surprise, a rare look of joy on his face.

"Hmm...it seems like there's a weak point?"

This discovery was like a shot of adrenaline; he immediately pushed his hands forward, and the runes in the void shone with golden light!

hum-

The moment he made his move, the teleportation array in the city suddenly shot out a golden beam tens of meters thick, which shot straight into the sky!

Then the golden light continued to spread, enveloping the entire City of Glory!

at the same time.

Throughout the entire continent of Lockheed.

Every city with a teleportation array is experiencing the same scene!

Even the city, which was already shrouded in darkness, was like a ray of fire in the darkness, forcibly propelling light and protection.

The golden protective shield and the black curtain were clearly separated by the city wall!

The swarm of insects that had already flooded into the city turned into black water as if ice and snow were exposed to the scorching sun. The surviving soldiers and civilians were terrified and had no idea what was happening.

Scenes of survivors were playing out everywhere, and things were gradually stabilizing.

Eighty percent of the human realm's landmass was swallowed up and shrouded in darkness, with the remaining 20% ​​located in the heart of the imperial city.

Apart from the large cities with teleportation arrays, all the small towns and cities fell without exception.

Players across the server were either forced to return to their original cities or returned to the main city ahead of schedule.

A large number of players were crowded inside the city, all looking completely bewildered.

At that moment, a server-wide announcement rang out!

★『Server-wide Announcement: Due to player Chen Laotou prematurely triggering the [Dark Invasion] event, the game will undergo a version update in 1 minute, which will last for 30 minutes. Please wait and log off in a safe location to avoid any losses!』
