At noon, twelve o’clock, the players suddenly noticed the blood rain outside accelerating.
Just then, a notification came from the Neighborhood Committee.
It was posted by a player who had used a Name Change Card, deliberately acting as a human megaphone.
[100 Mad King Neighborhood Committee: Calamity Frogs will soon assault the dorm buildings. All players are forbidden to attack. Let the Mad Vanguards level up, the Calamity Frogs will assimilate surrounding objects, extremely dangerous!]
[49 Zhao Qiankun: Awesome, prophetic. This is real prophecy, huh? Did the Dorm Owner stick needles outside the Safe Zone?!]
[238 Chi Suliu: It’s too hard to level up the Mad Vanguards. Right now the highest Mad Vanguard is only third tier. Does the Dorm Owner intend to push them to fourth tier?]
[183 Wang Ao: If the Dorm Owner wants to farm levels, he can definitely do it!]
[344 Qian Chen: Really looking forward to this. Brother Kai said third-tier Mad Vanguards were unbeatable. I wonder what form a fourth-tier Mad Vanguard would evolve into!]
[359 Bai Qi: @Qian Chen, who the hell said Brother Kai couldn’t beat them—he only said they were tough, and that was ages ago!]
[344 Qian Chen: Sorry!]
[320 Qin Wushuang: Have you guys been having nightmares lately?]
The moment the Neighborhood Committee posted the announcement, everyone snapped to attention, including high-level players from floor leader dorms like Li Shuwen and Zhai Ren.
“How are there frogs?” In Dorm 380, Wu Huihui stared at the surveillance screen and blinked, thinking she must be seeing things.
At the horizon’s edge, a huge swarm of frogs had inexplicably appeared.
And the number of frogs was rapidly increasing; in an instant, the horizon was filled with frogs!
“Holy crap! Why are there frogs everywhere!” Nie Xiaozhu screamed and stood up.
Wang Tingting pointed at the feed, shouting, “Look, they’re heading this way!”
“Aren’t these the Calamity Frogs Lang Ge mentioned?!” Wu Huihui exclaimed.
It looked like a slideshow to her: one second there was a single frog, the next ten, then a hundred, then a thousand.
Of course, the real situation wasn’t that exaggerated. Many frogs had already been present and just hopped into the camera’s view.
Still, their reproduction rate was undeniably fast, leaving new frogs in their wake wherever they passed.
“Something’s wrong, something’s wrong!” Nie Xiaozhu said anxiously. “Do you see it? Our playground grass is disappearing, turning into frogs. The cafeteria, the seats—buildings covered by frogs are vanishing!”
With that warning, Wu Huihui’s eyes widened as she noticed the oddity.
Their lifeline, the cafeteria, was shrinking!
It was as if someone used an eraser to rub out the original image, then crumpled the eraser shavings into frogs!
“Quick, notify Lang Ge!” Wu Huihui shouted.
At that moment, clusters of crimson lightning shot into the frog swarm—the Mad Vanguards defending Mad King Building.
Slash, slash, slash—
Huge swaths of frogs were swept away, frog blood spraying everywhere!
“Wait, these frogs don’t seem strong, they can be killed!” Wang Tingting called to Wu Huihui.
Could all this be part of Xu Lang’s plan?
...
“Could these be the Blood Mist creatures Lang Ge said would let the Mad Vanguards farm levels?” In Dorm 249, Li Wenwen watched the human–frog battle in the holographic feed and covered her mouth.
The holographic feed was an extra function Li Shuwen had commissioned researchers to add to the high-end surveillance—so the outside view could be seen more directly.
It wasn’t cheap, but Dorm 249 could afford it.
“Probably,” Li Shuwen replied. He wore magnificent robes of bright yellow, and the gaunt face looked a few degrees more handsome as he said, “Look at those Mad Vanguards, their bodies are slowly fading. They must be taking damage.”
“I wonder if this wave can trigger a fourth-tier Mad Vanguard,” Zhu Yan pursed his lips, a flicker of hope in his eyes.
Five hundred Mad Vanguards, excluding Demon King Castle players, going head-to-head were no weaker than all the Mad King Building players combined.
If a fourth-tier Mad Vanguard really did appear, they might even bump into the next round boss.
A first-tier Mad Vanguard’s Madness Power is a single-digit number, second-tier is double digits, third-tier triple digits, and fourth-tier would be four digits.
Moreover, Madness Power is intrinsically more valuable than Constitution or Spirit attributes. All else equal, a fourth-tier Mad Vanguard would be stronger than a player with a single attribute over a thousand.
Although players don’t specialize in straightforward brawls, the problem is Mad Vanguards can respawn infinitely!
Once they break through a tier, all their stats are preserved—this is outrageous.
While other players awaited the Mad Vanguards’ growth, Xu Lang was, too.
At the same time, other thoughts churned in his mind.
“Calamity Frogs are tied to the Blood Calamity itself, their mystery level is terrifying.”
“Relying only on the Mad Vanguards won’t solve this Calamity Frog crisis, even if they advance to fourth tier.”
“If they can’t hold, then don’t hold!”
“There’s blood rain outside, there’s nothing I can do about it!”
“Want to help but lack the power!”
With a hand probing into the enemy lines, Xu Lang wanted to test Mad King Building’s limits.
...
Five hundred Mad Vanguards temporarily stemmed the Calamity Frogs’ momentum.
Meanwhile, Dorm 100 launched five combat drones to assist the Mad Vanguards in intercepting the frogs that slipped through.
The situation looked excellent.
Mad King Building players staying home felt like they were watching a Hollywood blockbuster—truly spectacular.
But gradually, people noticed something wrong.
The Mad Vanguards’ slaughter of Calamity Frogs was satisfying to watch, yet the Vanguards’ own bodies were gradually becoming translucent and then collapsed with a bang!
Right after that, a massive wave of Calamity Frogs materialized out of thin air!
It was as if the frogs the Mad Vanguards killed were being vomited back out!
All the kills returned to the enemy!
Players began to panic a little.
“This isn’t right. After Mad Vanguards die, how do so many Calamity Frogs appear? The respawn is higher than the kills!”
“Damn it! Melee Mad Vanguards, could you not be a liability? Let the ranged Mad Vanguards do the killing!”
“Another Mad Vanguard died, and so many Calamity Frogs—this number must be in the thousands by now!”
“Son of a—our Mad Vanguards are being used to farm monsters!”
“Calm down, calm down. Didn’t you forget Mad Vanguards can adapt and evolve? They’ll soon evolve types specialized in killing Calamity Frogs!”
“I see a Mad Vanguard evolving!”
“Bro, you’re absolutely right. It’s true—this evolved third-tier Mad Vanguard is all ranged skills, never gets close!”
“No no no, why is it surrounded by Calamity Frogs!”
“There are too many Calamity Frogs, the Safe Zones are being assimilated!”
“Mad King Building, danger!”
