So, when those NPC demigods began to flee at the first instance, Zhou Tian also chased after them at that moment. Based on the situation at the time, Zhou Tian immediately caught up with the opponent. And, with his own strength, Zhou Tian killed an NPC demigod after a few casual attacks.
Seeing Zhou Tian’s performance, those NPC demigods fled even more desperately. Even to increase their chances of survival slightly, the already few NPC demigods chose to split up at that time.
Though splitting up would completely lose their ability to confront Zhou Tian and basically meant certain death for anyone Zhou Tian caught up with, splitting up naturally increased the difficulty for Zhou Tian to chase down those NPC demigods. Not to say that it would be harder for Zhou Tian to catch up with the NPC demigods, but killing all of them became seemingly more difficult.
After all, the new ability Zhou Tian had acquired was still reflected in his ability to preserve his life. While the Immortal Body indirectly enhanced Zhou Tian’s strength, his own strength had not actually improved much. Under those circumstances, with the NPC demigods hell-bent on escaping, keeping all of them was indeed not an easy task from any perspective.
Therefore, when Zhou Tian discovered that the NPC demigods had split up and fled, he indeed paused for a moment, but then he immediately made up his mind and chased after one of the NPC demigods.
Having successfully upgraded and acquired the ability to annihilate those NPC demigods, it was absolutely impossible for Zhou Tian not to want to annihilate them all. However, Zhou Tian was very clear that even if he managed to keep all the NPC demigods that day, the significance was not very great.
In fact, just after Zhou Tian’s successful upgrade, his conflict with those NPCs had already invisibly taken the upper hand. Thus, for Zhou Tian at that moment, what he needed to do was just to reap his spoils of war. Under these circumstances, although the presence of those NPC demigods was somewhat annoying, with or without them, it didn’t make much difference to Zhou Tian at the time.
Thus, after discovering that the NPC demigods had scattered and fled, Zhou Tian immediately changed his initial decision at that moment. If originally Zhou Tian had thought of annihilating all the NPC demigods, seeing how difficult it would be under the current circumstances, he directly changed his decision. freёwebnovel.com
Annihilating all the NPC demigods was naturally good, but if it couldn’t be done, it didn’t matter. For Zhou Tian at that moment, he had already won overall, and dealing with those NPC demigods was nothing but a move to weaken the NPC side’s strength. Under these circumstances, whether annihilating the entire opposing side or killing a portion of the NPC demigods, now he would kill one NPC demigod if he could, as long as he could kill those NPC demigods, it meant he was weakening the NPC side’s combat power. ƒrēewebnovel.com
As a result, with Zhou Tian’s efforts, relying on his strength which far surpassed that of the NPC demigods, despite their desperate attempts to flee, by the end of Zhou Tian’s chase and kill, only a few NPC demigods managed to escape.
Compared with the tragic situation on the NPC side, Zhou Tian however had achieved a complete victory.
Firstly, the Beastman Tribe’s Large Army, as Zhou Tian had expected at the beginning, fell into a disadvantage from the start of the battle with the players. Although Zhou Tian kept sending Beastmen from the rear to the frontline, no matter his efforts, the Beastmen he sent were only giving some experience to the players without posing any threat.
However, as the Beastmen under Zhou Tian were no match for those players, with Zhou Tian’s upgrade, those Beastmen naturally gained stronger abilities due to the upgrade. Under the sudden increase in strength of the Beastman Tribe, the players were caught off guard.
Initially, those players had already adapted to the Monster level and strength. When the combat power of the monsters on the other side suddenly increased, the players battling them were naturally no longer a match. Caught off guard, more than half of the players, unable to grasp the situation in time, were directly killed by the enraged Beastmen.
Thus, even though initially, due to the disparity in strength, even with Zhou Tian’s extensive preparations, his Beastmen paid a heavy cost to retain the New Territory. Nevertheless, no matter the cost previously borne to keep that piece of New Territory, once that situation emerged at the end, the losses borne by Zhou Tian’s Beastmen were immediately recouped through the slaughter of those players.
The changes brought about by the upgrade itself aside, after the slaughter of those players at the last moment, those changes were enough to enhance the strength of the Beastman Tribe by several notches.
You see, according to the NPC side’s arrangement, the number of players in Zhou Tian’s New Territory had nearly reached a million. And just at the last moment, with hundreds of thousands of players killed by the Beastmen, how much special energy would that provide Zhou Tian? How many of the Beastmen would become elite Beastmen? Wouldn’t the changes compensate for Zhou Tian’s previous losses?(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation.
