Chapter 1065: Chapter 426 Barrier_2
Without a doubt, if all those Bone Demons were to escape, it would certainly be bad news for the players. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Although players and monsters are enemies, if all the players were to flee, it goes without saying that the players would then lose their Monster Hunting locations. In such a scenario, without enough monsters to provide them with the Experience needed for leveling up, the players’ strength would permanently stagnate at a certain level.
Therefore, whether it’s players or NPCs, I believe none would give the Bone Demons and other monsters the opportunity to flee, and making deployments in the territories of these monsters would naturally not be surprising.
According to what those Bone Demons said, it was estimated that because the players had been pressuring the monsters within their forces too hard, the monsters no longer wanted to live. As a last resort, it was guessed that the NPCs had secretly deployed Barriers over all of the monsters’ territories. Within these Barriers, monsters couldn’t leave their territories; weaker monsters could enter the areas of activity of stronger ones based on their strength, but the stronger ones had no Ability to enter the weaker ones’ areas. It was only under such arrangements that players could always encounter specific monsters in specific areas, and ultimately be able to defeat them with their advantages in strength.
One could say that the whole division of player power was supported by these Barriers; if they were destroyed, Zhou Tian was 100 percent confident in saying that it would cause total chaos within the player forces. Although the player forces wouldn’t necessarily face Annihilation for this reason and might even become more aggressive, nevertheless, those Barriers were extremely important to the players at the time.
It could be said that whether Zhou Tian could annex the Bone Demon forces depended on his Ability to break through the NPCs’ Barriers. If Zhou Tian had the Ability to break these Barriers, given the current mentality of the Bone Demons, it was estimated they wouldn’t likely offer any Resistance to Zhou Tian. At that time, Zhou Tian would naturally be able to easily annex the entire Bone Demon force.
However, if he could not break those Barriers, Zhou Tian would undoubtedly encounter numerous troubles. If he were to encounter other Accidents, it’s possible that Zhou Tian’s Hope to annex the Bone Demon force would become unachievable.
Zhou Tian knew very well that a Barrier that confined all monsters within the player forces to a small area must be astonishingly strong, otherwise the monsters would have attempted to Breakthrough the Barrier to Escape if there was even the slightest hope. In fact, the Bone Demons had not done so, which wasn’t because they didn’t want to, but because they had tried and knew their efforts were fruitless. Therefore, having lost Confidence, they had let themselves remain trapped within that Barrier.
Given the Power of the NPCs and players, it was undoubtedly difficult for anyone to Break the Barriers they had set. Considering the strength of the Barrier, the Bone Demons themselves wouldn’t hold any hope of breaking it within their lifetime to escape from their Underground dwelling.
However, who would have thought that Zhou Tian was the one trapped by the NPC’s Barrier underground at that time! And with Zhou Tian’s strength, although he couldn’t Guarantee that he could break the NPCs’ Barrier with 100 percent certainty, if he truly decided to do something, the chances of Success were still quite high.
In fact, once Zhou Tian had learned from the Bone Demons exactly what the Barrier was all about, he had no intention of just sitting by and doing nothing.
For Zhou Tian at that moment, his hope to expand his Territory made these Barriers the biggest obstacle. And with Zhou Tian’s Ambition, he wouldn’t allow anything standing in the way of his ambition to persist.
So, considering his own Benefit, once Zhou Tian became aware of the situation with the Barrier, he immediately rushed to the exit leading to the upper space.
"Is this the Barrier set up by the NPCs?" Zhou Tian directly asked the little Boss beside him while watching his own Beastman bounced back by an invisible Barrier as it tried to run out.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is indeed the Barrier. As its strength exceeds my attacks, I am unable to destroy it. I implore Your Majesty to demolish this Barrier to facilitate our advance to the upper space," the little Beastman Boss explained, and immediately requested of Zhou Tian. freewebnøvel.com
Zhou Tian had no reason to refuse the request, as his very purpose for coming was to destroy that Barrier. Now that he had arrived, he certainly wouldn’t just go back without doing anything.
However, although Zhou Tian had already decided to destroy the Barrier, after understanding the situation, he was still startled by the Barrier’s Performance.
Zhou Tian had yet to Take Action himself, but his little Boss had no doubt already tested the strength of the Barrier. And given the strength of his little Bosses, if they couldn’t breach the Barrier, that certainly meant that even King Level Bosses wouldn’t be able to Breakthrough the Barrier, a result that would undoubtedly surprise many people.
