Mighty Lord

Chapter 1037: Chapter 417: Choice

The player community, due to its vast numbers, was a mixture of all sorts. Some players were fearless to the point of recklessness when it came to facing no personal harm from the game.

Some players did not believe in bad omens, while others saw it as an opportunity to gain advantage.

During any large-scale war, these players would join enthusiastically. Did all these players truly believe they could benefit from such wars? Obviously, that was impossible.

The common response from players, apart from the truly confident members, was that most of them joined with the intention of scavenging for loot. Whenever a large-scale war occurred, the resulting abundance of dead monsters and players ensured that whether they were using alt accounts or were just beginners, their loss would be minimal. With just picking up a few items, they could thrive, and this motivated their keen interest in such large events.

Previously, many novice players couldn’t resist joining in, and this time, after facing Zhou Tian, those players also chose to join without exception.

In reality, it wasn’t something difficult to comprehend. After all, with the sheer number of players, even if Zhou Tian appeared incredibly powerful at the moment, in the eyes of those players, Zhou Tian’s strength was temporary. They believed that with countless players attacking him one after another, Zhou Tian would eventually fall under their blades.

Based on Zhou Tian’s strength, if he were to burst, it was easy to guess that he would drop highly powerful equipment. Divine artifact or super artifact? At that moment, those players weren’t considering that aspect; their minds were filled with a single thought – whoever picked up something Zhou Tian dropped would strike it rich. freeweɓnovel.cøm

As a result of that thought, any player who got the news was invariably tempted at that time.

Thus, knowing full well that the boss Zhou Tian was not easy to defeat, those players fearlessly rushed towards his territory in droves. Eventually, this led to Zhou Tian killing a large number of players, but the players were seemingly endless. Even in the end, Zhou Tian not only lost quite a few islands but also had to deploy all the lesser monsters he hadn’t used before to try to stem the tide of advancing players.

But, when Zhou Tian’s beastman army entered the fray, the pressure on him indeed lightened considerably.

The advanced players among them were certainly stronger than Zhou Tian’s beastmen, but the average player was not much stronger. As a result, even though deploying the beastman army caused significant casualties, by killing the attacking players, Zhou Tian didn’t just avoid losses; he actually gained a substantial amount of special energy.

In a somewhat absurd turn of events, Zhou Tian, who initially wanted to swiftly drive those players out of his territory, ended up in a deadlock with them at his borders. This outcome was truly a mixed bag of emotions for Zhou Tian.

Fortunately, while Zhou Tian was in this stalemate, he still managed to gather quite a bit of special energy. Thus, in light of this situation, whatever Zhou Tian had done wasn’t entirely in vain. Otherwise, if after striving for so long, even going as far as entering the fray himself, he had not achieved his aims, and instead had the players knocking on his door, it would have been a major blow to his dignity.

Having been a monster for a long time, Zhou Tian had gradually lost his original player-like thinking. Adapting to the monster society’s way of thinking, he hadn’t even considered why players continuously stormed into his territory.

Although Zhou Tian was unclear why these players relentlessly made him their enemy, he didn’t want to get too entangled with them. Originally, Zhou Tian took action with the goal of driving the players out of his territory as quickly as possible. Since he noticed more and more players arriving, and although he could easily kill the incoming players, if there was a never-ending stream of them, unless his defenses were breached, Zhou Tian genuinely had no energy left to deal with them anymore.

Consequently, it’s not surprising when Zhou Tian realized how troublesome the players were, he simply chose to withdraw at that moment. After Zhou Tian’s withdrawal, the group of players, without a target, quieted down considerably.

Reluctantly, although he did not wish to acknowledge it, Zhou Tian eventually had to accept the existence of those players. Unable to eliminate them, he could only try to coexist peacefully with them.

As the players appeared, Zhou Tian’s situation began to turn dire. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Originally, Zhou Tian had retreated to his own small territory for cultivation due to an inability to expand. Now, with his situation unchanged, still unable to expand, he encountered these player invasions. Every moment, a part of his territory was annexed by the players. Under such circumstances, it was odd if Zhou Tian was in a good mood.

"No way, I must find a way out; otherwise, I’ll be trapped in my territory sooner or later," Zhou Tian clearly understood the precariousness of his current situation. He had thought of methods, but given his circumstances, it was hard for Zhou Tian to make a change. As he watched his territory gradually decrease, Zhou Tian reluctantly had to take some risky actions at that time.
