So, since it was already clear, at that moment they basically had no way to deal with Zhou Tian, so the group of NPC demigods of that time didn’t need to waste too much time on Zhou Tian anymore. Hence, their withdrawal was not at all surprising.
In fact, Zhou Tian didn’t have to wait long; when that faction of NPC demigods returned to the position where their large army was stationed, the group of monsters Zhou Tian had arranged had already automatically dispersed. Although those NPC demigods were unhappy with the actions of the monsters, they didn’t stoop to bother with them. Eventually, after casually killing some of the slower retreating monsters, they led the NPC large army away.
Once that NPC large army had withdrawn, Zhou Tian clearly realized that whether those NPCs liked it or not, they had seemingly acknowledged Zhou Tian’s ownership of that area. In other words, in the consciousness of those NPCs, they had probably already regarded the area as Zhou Tian’s territory.
Thus, for a considerably long period of time, those NPCs should not have any other actions.
One’s own territory and a territory occupied by another are two different matters; although one might covet the former, usually nothing would be done to the latter, especially since in this world there are too many territories occupied by other forces. Even if those NPCs had ambitions for those territories, they should know that it would be impossible with their own power to occupy all the territories in the world.
On the other hand, when it comes to their own occupied territory, those NPCs naturally wanted to recover it as quickly as possible; otherwise, if they couldn’t recover it immediately, that territory originally belonging to them would become someone else’s. And often, the forces occupying others’ territories would fail just before succeeding, but as of now, Zhou Tian had successfully occupied the NPC’s territory.
So, since those NPCs now considered that area to be Zhou Tian’s territory, unless unexpectedly, it is estimated that for quite a long time, those NPCs should not randomly start a war with Zhou Tian again. After all, in terms of consumption, those NPCs simply couldn’t compete with Zhou Tian.
However, although those NPCs had essentially recognized Zhou Tian’s successful occupation of that area, it did not mean that the matter was over. On the contrary, all of this was just the beginning. As the subsequent tactics of those NPCs emerged, Zhou Tian still had headaches awaiting him.
NPCs would no longer randomly enter that area, but if they saw the opportunity, it’s believed that they wouldn’t miss any opportunity, and if one day those NPCs found the right opportunity, a full-scale attack like the current one was always possible.
Moreover, NPCs cared about their own members’ casualties, so they wouldn’t easily launch a war. However, the NPC allies, the players, didn’t have as many concerns.
In terms of consumption, those players weren’t afraid of Zhou Tian; Zhou Tian and his monsters had the Demonic Transformation Pool for support, while those players could also resurrect indefinitely due to their unique existence. Thus, for those players, dealing with monsters has always been their favorite thing to do.
Monster hunting is the most important part of a player’s life. If they don’t spend some time each day online monster hunting, those players themselves might feel uncomfortable. During this process of monster hunting, the only distinction is where those players are hunting.
Originally, although many elite players had attacked all the way to the vicinity of Zhou Tian’s territory, and like Zhou Tian, monsters were not few. However, only a small part of players had the time and ability; for most players with lower levels, their leveling areas had always been within the sphere of influence of NPCs and their own.
Situations like this occurred primarily because players lacked power. If they were powerful, they would naturally make every effort to move to places where Zhou Tian’s ’wild monsters’ were located for leveling. Besides this reason, another factor constraining those players’ activities was that the territories of monster forces like Zhou Tian’s were simply too far from those players. Without the help of teleportation arrays, those players were too lazy to travel such a long distance just to level up once.
Now that Zhou Tian had occupied a part of the player’s sphere of influence, although at that time Zhou Tian successfully gained a new territory, boosting both his power and influence. However, by occupying that area, he also necessarily brought himself closer to those players.
Even directly, it can be said that from the moment Zhou Tian occupied that area, he and those players became neighbors.
And once Zhou Tian and those players were completely in the same area, it was understandable that Zhou Tian’s troubles naturally grew considerably. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Previously, due to the great distance, even if those players wanted to level up in Zhou Tian’s territory, they were too lazy to make the long journey. But now, when just a few steps away could take them to Zhou Tian’s territory, if Zhou Tian’s monsters had high enough levels and drop rates, it would naturally attract a lot of players to come to his territory to level up.
