Chapter 167: After the Great Battle

Chapter 167: After the Great Battle

In the darkness, a single man and a single woman were alone in a room in close contact. Anyone normal would have wild thoughts, especially since the two had once shared an extremely ambiguous night.

Yang Liu did not have much experience and lacked resistance to the current situation. She soon remembered that night, then blushed and felt her body grow hot.

She herself could not understand why. Even though she had thought about it recently without much feeling, why did her reaction become so intense now?

Heat slowly transferred over, and Chen Mo was quickly affected by the atmosphere. His hand could not help but gently stroke Yang Liu’s lower abdomen.

In the current state, only his hand could move, but he still did not dare to go too far. He was just testing Yang Liu’s reaction.

But Yang Liu only trembled slightly and did not stop his actions.

What should he do? If he continued, he could only move upward. But if he did that, perhaps the previous favorability would suddenly drop into negative numbers.

Chen Mo did not struggle for long and decided to be a bit bolder. He should act when it was time to act. If he missed this chance, there would be no other. There would not be another good opportunity like today later!

His hand gently moved upward and pressed on those two soft mounds. Yang Liu’s body trembled, and she opened her small mouth, wanting to tell Chen Mo to stop. But for some reason, her open mouth made no sound and soon closed, and her eyes slowly shut as well.

Yang Liu did not refuse, so Chen Mo immediately pressed his advantage. His other hand also moved up and began to gently knead.

Outside, Eastern Sea City was engulfed in war. But beneath the collapsed building, two young people were secretly having an affair.

Eastern Sea City had been severely destroyed, with many buildings collapsed. The players inside logged off one after another. Some who logged off a bit late could only die in the crimson poison mist.

Boom!

Not far from Eastern Sea City, a loud noise erupted, and two figures abruptly separated.

The two blue-haired beauties no longer looked elegant. Both had disheveled hair and were breathing heavily. But compared to Joanna, Hai Ruoou had clearly suffered significant damage.

“Since you want to die, I’ll grant your wish!” Joanna looked at Hai Ruoou, whose arm was dripping blood, and spoke coldly.

Her pale hand extended, and a dark light gathered in Joanna’s palm. The surrounding light seemed to be sucked into this mass of black light.

“Darkness Erosion!” Hai Ruoou’s expression turned extremely grave. “But this move of yours still can’t kill me. If I hold you off a little longer, Eastern Sea City will be completely destroyed!”

“I may not kill you, but Darkness Erosion will cause your strength to continuously decline over time, making you weaker and weaker. You have no allegiance now. Even if I can’t kill you, those adventurers will soon make your life worse than death!” Joanna said coldly.

Hai Ruoou’s face paled. She finally understood Joanna’s true plan.

Boom!

Joanna looked indifferently at Hai Ruoou, then suddenly moved, tracing a dark streak of light with the black mass in her hand.

The hand gripping the light mass slammed fiercely toward Hai Ruoou in front. Hai Ruoou resisted with all her might, but the black light mass suddenly exploded. Hai Ruoou was hurled rapidly backward amidst the dark explosive light.

The explosion kicked up large clouds of dust. Behind the thick dust, Hai Ruoou, holding her injured arm, retreated at full speed. Dark streaks of light coiled around her body.

After withstanding one Darkness Erosion, she had no choice but to retreat. If she continued fighting Joanna, she would be unable to withstand even one move and would be killed.

Joanna did not chase Hai Ruoou. Although Hai Ruoou was injured, her speed would not decrease in the short term. If Joanna gave chase, Eastern Sea City would be completely finished.

With a movement, Joanna rushed back toward Eastern Sea City.

The sea beasts were still wreaking havoc. A trace of ferocity flickered in Joanna’s eyes. However, right at that moment, Joanna saw a huge hurricane appear in Eastern Sea City.

The hurricane showed a tendency to sweep through Eastern Sea City. All the crimson poison mist was drawn into the hurricane, and some giant sea beasts were also involuntarily sucked in.

“Kamen? Hmph, that old man finally decided to make a move. I thought he would really wait until Eastern Sea City was completely destroyed!”

Joanna snorted coldly, then moved and charged toward the nearest giant sea beast.

With the crimson poison mist cleared, more and more NPCs in Eastern Sea City took action. Those sea beasts that had broken into the city to cause destruction were soon killed one by one. The lower-level sea beasts in the distance began to retreat. The Sea Clan’s city attack operation was about to end.

But in the corner of the church, Chen Mo and Yang Liu were just beginning.

The two were now burning with desire. Both Chen Mo and Yang Liu were somewhat dazed with passion.

Noticing that the surrounding crimson poison mist had disappeared, Chen Mo quickly put away Sesshylow, turned Yang Liu around, and kissed her small mouth.

Yang Liu only resisted symbolically before Chen Mo successfully invaded. Their hot, wet tongues tangled together.

His hand gripped Yang Liu’s firm buttocks, sinking into the flesh. The two seemed likely to take the final step. But just then, a loud booming sound suddenly came from outside.

“Someone, clear away the rubble here!”

An NPC’s voice rang out. Yang Liu’s body jolted, and she hurriedly pushed Chen Mo away.

Damn it, which NPC was so annoying, ruining his good moment!

Chen Mo almost cursed out loud. Such a good opportunity would not come again!

“Let go.” Yang Liu said softly, pulling Chen Mo’s hand away and starting to straighten her messy clothes.

Boom!

The stones around them were moved away by NPCs, revealing their figures. The NPCs paid them no mind, and the two walked out from the corner.

A huge mass of light appeared above Eastern Sea City, illuminating the entire city brightly, as if it were daytime.

Standing on the church ruins, Chen Mo saw that very few buildings in Eastern Sea City were still standing. Eastern Sea City had nearly been wiped out.

Many NPCs were clearing the rubble from the collapsed buildings. Players’ figures appeared in the city one after another.

On the forum, these players already knew that the crimson poison mist in Eastern Sea City had disappeared and it was safe to log in.

This was the most chaotic time in the game. Many players logged in to see if they could encounter any rare opportunities.

“Yang Liu?”

A voice called out. Chen Mo looked over and saw it was that guy Luo Hua.

“Yang Liu, what’s wrong? Chen Mo, what did you do to Yang Liu!”

Seeing Yang Liu’s flushed face and slightly messy hair and clothes, Luo Hua’s expression changed drastically, and he questioned Chen Mo beside her.

“I’m fine. It’s not Chen Mo’s fault. I’m logging off first.” Yang Liu shook her head, her expression calming considerably, then turned and logged off.

This beauty, why did her tone feel a bit strange?

Chen Mo muttered to himself after hearing it, then he also turned to leave.

“Don’t go! What did you do to Yang Liu? If you don’t explain, don’t think about leaving!” Luo Hua rushed forward.

“Who are you? What Yang Liu and I did is none of your business.”

His good moment interrupted, Chen Mo was in a bad mood. Luo Hua coming to him like this, he naturally would not be polite.

“You…” Luo Hua was momentarily speechless. Chen Mo ignored him and left.

…

That night, the alien race attack operations in the three major cities ended one after another.

The result of the attacks was not only that Eastern Sea City was defeated, but even Shadow City and Stormwind City ended in defeat.

At the critical moment of the alien race attack, a large number of huge tree roots suddenly surged beneath Shadow City’s walls, breaking through the city wall and causing Shadow City’s final defense to fail. As for Stormwind City, more than ten sand dragons appeared. These sand dragons could move freely through the desert outside Stormwind City and ultimately breached the city’s defenses.

However, among the three major cities, the one that suffered the most damage was undoubtedly Eastern Sea City.

The entire Eastern Sea City was practically set back to square one overnight. The whole city was almost destroyed, with only a handful of buildings left standing.

The consequence of the three major cities’ defeat was that prices in Shadow City and Stormwind City rose by 50%, and experience gained from killing monsters decreased by 15%.

Eastern Sea City had it the worst: all prices increased by 200%, and experience gained from killing monsters decreased by 30%.

To recover, the only way was to rebuild and repair the city as soon as possible and restore the city’s vitality.

However, no matter when, some people were happy while others were worried.

During last night’s attack operation, many players exchanged a large number of points for substantial rewards. The highest level in the game jumped from level 28 to level 33 overnight. Additionally, many players obtained equipment of various qualities.

System Notification: You performed bravely during the alien race attack operation. Level increased by 2!

System Notification: You obtained the special equipment “Eastern Sea City Defender”!

Eastern Sea City Defender

Description: Special equipment, only obtainable by players who made outstanding contributions to Eastern Sea City. Cannot be traded, cannot be dropped.

Attributes:

Human Race Reputation +100

When the player is active within the Eastern Sea City area, the following effects apply:

1. Experience gained from killing monsters increased by 10%.

2. 10% discount when purchasing items from NPCs.

3. Night vision +10

4. Movement Speed Cap and minimum +2

5. No experience penalty upon death

Eastern Sea City was almost destroyed, but the rewards for the protect Eastern Sea City quest were still distributed.

Chen Mo’s level rose by two levels at once, reaching level 25. He had firmly held the top position on the points ranking, and the Defender special equipment was also obtained.

The attributes of the Defender special equipment were very powerful, but they only took effect within the Eastern Sea City area. Otherwise, this special equipment would definitely be overpowered.

“The game’s main storyline is about to appear!”

“The game is truly going to begin!”

On the forum, many players began analyzing this alien race attack operation.

Although all three major cities were defeated, each city suffered significant losses, and leveling up became much more difficult for players. However, instead of being discouraged, the players were all delighted.

Most people vaguely felt that, just as those players analyzed, the game was probably truly about to begin. This alien race attack operation was definitely the start of the game’s progression.

Many people returned to the game and interacted with NPCs everywhere, trying to receive the game’s main storyline quest. Once received, the rewards would certainly be extremely generous.

While the game was bustling with activity, Chen Mo had already used a Teleportation Scroll and returned to the Land of Exile again.
