Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1425 - 369: If You Close It, Then I’ll Open It.

After speaking, You Ai projected the recent game process into the minds of his clan members through a spirit projection.Once the other clan members understood the details, the temporarily formed slaughtering preparatory team disbanded.

The generated clan imprint was thrown into the crushing pool and decomposed back into rule-derived energy.

...

An hour later.

The figure of Life Throat appeared at the resurrection teleport point in the Colorful Mist Coast Space.

After the white light on his body faded, Life Throat turned to look at the guidance by his side:

"Brother Guide, did any members of the Youlu Council follow along?"

In the initial contact with the Youlu Council, he employed the bug exploitation plan.

The plan was to repeat the failure experience of the previous player.

According to information recorded on the forum, the player who entered the game space was defeated in the contest with the Youlu Council member.

Upon being killed, this storyline abruptly ended.

Curiously, when he searched for information related to the Youlu Council on the forum, he found a competition faction player mentioning that he encountered members of the Youlu Council in the Ancient God Arena.

Based on the posting time, as well as the Youlu Council member’s winning occasions, he inferred the general time node when the Youlu Council members entered the Ancient God Space.

Precisely after the failure and death of the player.

All this pointed to one answer.

The Youlu Council successfully activated the "clan imprint," leading their clan members to initiate the slaughtering plan.

But evidently, the Youlu Council members could not access the Imperial Tomb Village, or other Newbie Village nodes, as they were directly sent into the Ancient God Arena.

After analyzing the cause and effect, he came up with the bug exploitation idea.

As a player, he joined the game contest, using the final failure within the rule logic to generate a clan imprint for the Youlu Council, allowing them to initiate slaughtering actions.

Next, he could batch-send Youlu Council members to the Ancient God Arena, and even into other dangerous areas.

In this way, he would continuously deplete the combat power of the Youlu Council until finally capturing the game space rules.

Facing his inquiry, the guidance slowly opened his eyes and glanced at him:

[No.]

"Looks like I went a bit overboard."

Regarding this result, Life Throat was psychologically prepared.

The cheating process was too exhilarating; he entirely trampled You Ai underfoot with flamboyance, without restraint throughout.

From blurting out "you’re cheating" before even officially starting the game to the arrogant attitude while intentionally sparing him later, he did not hide it at all.

Blatantly writing "I’m fooling you" across his face.

Thinking about this, Life Throat felt a little helpless, yet found it somewhat amusing.

At that time, he was indulging in the pleasure only a player could have, unable to stop himself.

Clearly, it was this series of behaviors that made You Ai suspicious, believing he had ulterior motives, and chose to abandon subsequent slaughtering actions for caution’s sake.

His first attempt ended in failure.

But the journey was not entirely fruitless.

He personally contacted and investigated related information about the Youlu Council, confirming the certainty of the disguise plan being feasible.

Moreover, through four rounds of contest victory, he received four resource rewards.

Next, he only needed to gather clan members, enabling them to initiate a cycle of consumption.

The breath disguise would inevitably be exposed one day, and by then, the Youlu Council members would certainly have countermeasures in place.

For instance, strengthening the detection mechanism of life features, breaking their breath disguise upon entry.

But he had ways to continue the disguise.

For example, the Life Soul Form.

Every Life Soul possesses a life form.

Using different Life Soul forms to enter the game space reveals entirely different life characteristics.

Activating the Black Armored Snake Life Soul form, the player’s body becomes a completely black Black Armored Snake.

Switching to the Eagle-Headed Demon Life Soul form, fiery red wings would grow.

These Life Soul forms not only alter appearances but can confuse the Youlu Council’s mechanism for detecting life features.

The Youlu Council would only be cautious of a single entity’s life form, unable to distinguish among hundreds of entirely different life characteristics.

Unless they shut down entirely, the disguise plan could continue.

He would have clan members go in waves, each activating different Life Soul forms to participate in the contest in the most clumsy way.

Requiring them to "laboriously" reap up to four victory rounds, but the final outcome must be the Youlu Council members winning the contest.

And the Youlu Council’s population was already small, following an elite cultivation route, their combat power would quickly deplete during this period.

While on their side, death was merely a one-hour cooldown.

Then back to the teleport point for resurrection, switch to another Life Soul form and return.

This time it’s the Black Armored Snake, next time the Eagle-Headed Demon, and another time the stone-statue ghost... As players, they care little about life.

Bit by bit destruction actions would cause significant combat power loss to the Youlu Council.

Once all Life Soul forms are blacklisted, they could think of ways to command clan members receiving instructions in Monster World, following his guidance to enter the scene.

Complete the final reap.

The early-stage consumption also aimed to make it smoother for the lucky-drawn clan members in going to the game space then.

War inevitably carries the risk of death.

The lives of clan members without player qualification are much more important than Youlu Council members.

Clarifying thoughts, Life Throat summoned the guild chat channel:

"Colorful Mist Coast Space, assemble!"

The channel instantly popped up with a series of replies.

"Life Master, I’m conquering the crucial node of the Quicksand Dungeon, won’t participate in this assembly."

"Life Master, I’m exploring a civilization ruins in the Sand-breaking Spear area, trying to decipher it, close to striking it rich, could I skip the assembly?"

Among the clan members’ replies, only a few indicated they would come soon, while the rest expressed being busy.

Facing the clan member’s excuses, Life Throat’s forehead veins throbbed.

He swiftly employed the most effective threat:

"No nonsense, gather within 2 hours, whoever doesn’t show, internet cut off for a week."
